If you want what normal people have, do what normal people do.
If you want what few people have, do what few people do.
For example, Eve wanted the fruit that was forbidden.
David wanted another man's wife.
You want friendship of others from others.
1 John 2:16-17 NLT :
1. Physical pleasure
2. Everything we see
3. Achievements and possessions
4. From this world
5. Everything that people crave.
Normal people do what they want, what feels right.
Normal People
1. Want what they want now not later.
Luke 15:12 NLT
The prodigal son, wanted his share now.
Now, now, now.
Ice cream before dinner now.
Wanting to do what we're only suppose to do in marriage.
To show our anger now.
2. Trade the ultimate for the immediate.
Genesis 25:29-32
Jacob & Esau
Esau wanted to eat now.
Esau said, "I am about to die," and "What good is the birthright to me?"
He does the most unthinkable thing, to traded his birthright for a bowl stew.
We think who would be so foolish to do that trade.
Normal people do that everyday.
We trade God for a bowl of stew.
It builds up by each small bowl of stew.
Like a girl who loves the boy, and wants to honor God but the boy pushes and she gives in and traded the ultimate for the immediate.
Most of us do it all the time.
3. What's your bowl of stew?
___
Oh.... like wanting a relationship with a person so much that we push away God and our attention and concentration goes to pushing that relationship to happen now, now, now.
Weird People
1. Know later is often better than now.
Proverbs 16:32 NLT
Patient, self-control.
Like to a kid, you offer him a cookie now but wait! You say, if waited for an hour you get another one. Which is better?
Normal people buy liabilities, weird people buy assets.
2. Seek God until God's desires become their desires.
Psalms 37:4
Delight your in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
You desire God's desires, to help people, to love God.
Galatians 5:16-17 NLT
You won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.
The Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires.
Say you can wait, trade your immediate for your ultimate.
When you seek him they will call you weird but embrace it.
If you want what few people have, do what few people do.
For example, Eve wanted the fruit that was forbidden.
David wanted another man's wife.
You want friendship of others from others.
