LAW OF ENERGY

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics tells us that energy is neither created nor destroyed, thus the energy of the universe is a constant. However, energy can certainly be transferred from one part of the universe to another. It is usually formulated by stating that the change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat supplied to the system, minus the amount of work done by the system on its surroundings. Luk 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Some say that all one must do is submit mental belief in Jesus. Some 500 people here saw Jesus ascend into Heaven. How could they not believe? Dont you know that after seeing Jesus miraculous carried into heaven in Luk 24:52 it says And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: They confessed him they worshipped but still they had to go to Jerusalem and tarry until they were endued (in the sense of sinking into a garment); to invest with clothing (literally or figuratively): - array, clothe (with), endue, have (put) on. To be surrounded or baptized doo'-nam-is force (energy) specifically miraculous power - ability, abundance, meaning, might (-ily, -y, -y deed), (worker of) miracle (-s), power, strength, mighty (wonderful) work. the total energy in the universe is present either as kinetic energy or as potential energy. A simple example can be of water stored in a dam. This water has a potential energy due to its height. when this water falls down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This kinetic energy then rotates the turbines and electricity is produced. So the potential energy

gets converted to kinetic energy which in turn helps us to produce electricity and thereby the total energy remains constant. Isa 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: The lord does not pour out his spirit just to bless us and make us excited and for us to feel good It is always to fulfill a kingdom objective 1Jn 3:8 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Ergon energy work effort If we are tired of normal, ordinary, regular, usual, typical, common, natural. Then this latent, concealed, and dormant energy/power within must be manifest. Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power,(energy) after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Rudolf Clausius in 1850, referred to cyclic thermodynamic processes. In a thermodynamic process of a closed system, the increment in the internal energy is equal to the difference between the increment of heat accumulated by the system and the increment of work done by it. In each repetition of a cyclic process, the work done by the system is proportional to the heat consumed by the system. In a cyclic process in which the system does work on its surroundings, it is necessary that some heat be taken in by the system and some be put out, and the difference is the heat consumed by the system in the process. In any incremental

process, the change in the internal energy is considered due to a combination of heat added to the system and work done by the system. 2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2Co 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 2Co 4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 2Co 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2Co 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. an-ak-ahee-no'-o to renovate: - renew. 1- to bring something such as a building back to a former better state by means of repairs, redecoration, or remodeling 2- to give new vigor to somebody or something one principle in the 1st law of thermodynamics is: the internal energy increases as the system's temperature increases. If we want our outside to change then change must be had on the inside. There must be an increase of energy taken in. What we need is an increase in spiritual activity. There must be an increase in our inside spiritual temperature The church at Laodicea was one of two churches in the opening chapters of Revelation that were apparently unaware of their spiritual temperature. Laodicea is a picture of a worldly church that has all the trappings of religion but whose heart is clearly filled to the core with the world. They

were mediocre Christians slumbering in their materialistic spiritual stupor. You could not tell them apart from anyone else the world outside of their occasional church activities. Ephesus on the other hand was a church that was orthodox in doctrine, tenacious in defending the truth, and devoted to evangelism. Most of us would look at Ephesus and call it a healthy, vibrant church. However it was a church that had lost its fire. They were doing the right things but without realizing that they were just going through the motions and doing those things just because. Both churches were unaware of their spiritual temperature. What about you? The Amplified Bible renders the first part of 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Lets take a few minutes to examine ourselves and see what our spiritual temperature is. I. Examine your Hands A. Psalm 24:3-4 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. B. What are your hands doing; are they reaching for eternal treasures or are they grabbing for gaudy gadgets? C. Psalm 26:6 I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O LORD. E. Not only are your hands clean but are they busy doing Gods work, are they being used to be a blessing to others or are they idle? F. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. G. Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so. II. Examine your Feet A. Where are your feet going; are they headed for heavens shores or are they stuck in earths swamps?

B. Proverbs 4:26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. D. The direction of your feet will determine the direction of your heart. E. Where are your feet taking you? Before we came to Christ the Bible says we walked according to the course of this world. After we come to Christ we are supposed to walk a different path. F. 1 John 1:6-7 But if we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. G. It is but a short step from walking with the world to living like the world - copied H. Psalms 119:101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your word. J. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful. III. Examine your Eyes A. What are you giving your eyes to? What are you feeding on? What is your spiritual diet? Whatever we watch, listen to, read is what we are feeding on. And based on what we are feeding on is what we become. Understand that what you keep before your eyes will affect you. B. What we see, hear, and allow to enter our life will influence our heart. What is in our heart will influence our behavior. What we do is a result of what we have allowed into our lives. C. Psalm 101:3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes D. What are you setting before your eyes? What images are you imbedding in your mind? Whose example are you seeking to imitate? E. Psalms 119:37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. F. What is catching your eye, and distracting you from the true beauty of unity with Christ? G. Psalms 25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD

1/27/2013

H. Does it affect you when you see others who have no desire to follow Christ? I. Psalms 119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. IV. Examine your Ears A. There are many voices in our society all calling out for us to listen to them. Do you listen to them? Do they shape your life? Are we listening to the voice of the world or the voice of God? B. The world certainly doesnt listen to the voice of God? C. Jer 44:5, 16 'But they did not listen or incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods as for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you! D. 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. E. To what are you listening? To what kind of music are you listening? What kind of programs? What kind of videos are you looking at and what kind of programs are you listening to? Could Jesus be sitting beside as you look at or listen to the music or programs? F. Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man who listens to me G. John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me H. Proverbs 23:12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. V. Examine your Mouth A. One of the most straight-forward statements Jesus ever made was directed to the Pharisees. He said in Mark 7:17-24 that its not so much what you put in your mouth that makes you unclean as much as what comes out of your mouth that defiles us.

B. Ecclesiastes 5:6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? C. Job 27:4 My lips will not speak wickedness, Nor my tongue utter deceit D. Ephesians 4:2930 Let no rotten word come out of your mouth, but if something is good for the up-building of a need, let that come out of your mouth) in order that it might give grace to those who hear. E. Can it be that the average person spends one-fifth of his or her life talking? Thats what the statistics say. If all of our words were put into print, the result would be this: a single days words would fill a 50-page book, while in a years time the average persons words would fill 132 books of 200 pages each! (copied) Would we be surprised if we would read what was written in our books? F. Isaiah 50:4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary G. Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer. H. Psalms 71:8 Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your glory all the day. VI. Examine your Heart A. Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? B. Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear. C. When Sir Walter Raleigh was led to the block, his executioner asked him if his head lay right. Raleigh answered, "It matters little, my friend, how the head lies, provided the heart is right." Here in the presence of God, here before him through whom are revealed the secrets of all hearts, here before the Cross of mercy and of love, what does your heart speak, how does your heart lie?

D. Psalm 40:8 I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart. E. Kent Crocket says when he first enrolled in seminary, he found an apartment room next to a railroad crossing. he wondered why the apartment rent was so cheapand found out the first night. A train came through in the middle of the night, blasting its horn. It didnt just wake him up, but also nearly gave him a heart attack! Every night when the train came through, it blew the horn. At first I thought about changing apartments, but then I started getting used to the nightly awakenings. I would wake up for a few seconds, then go right back to sleep. Eventually I got where the train horn didnt even wake me up. I hardened my heart to the train and couldnt hear it any more. The same hardening process occurs when God speaks to our hearts and we dont respond. Eventually, we stop hearing His voice because our hearts have become hard. F. Hebrews 4:7 Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts G. What are the desires of your heart? H. Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. I. Hows your heart today?
