All In: Compartmentalized Living

Revelation 19:16; John 20:28

Compartmentalized living reveals two misunderstandings:

1. God’s true __
2. Our actual __ before Him

Does God have the __ to radically change the course of your life – without asking your __?

“On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.” Revelation 19:16

“Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’” John 20:28

Revelation 19:11-16 describes the triumph of Christ.

Verse 11: “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.”

Verse 12: “His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.”

Verse 13: “He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.”

Verses 14-15: “And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.”

Verse 16: “And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, ‘King of kings, and Lord of lords.’”

Key Thought: Compartmentalized living only exists when we have a __ view of God and an __ view of self.

Response/Reflection:

• Does God have the right to radically change the course of your life – without asking your permission?
• Have you intentionally or unintentionally sectioned off parts of your life under the categories of “real life” and “spiritual life”?
• Are there parts of your life that are currently closed off to God’s input (your past, your future, your marriage, your finances, your work goals, your vacation or retirement plans, areas of besetting sin, etc.)?
• Is God prompting you to share Jesus with coworkers or neighbors, but you keep saying, “No”?
• Is God leading you to make changes in your giving, your time, your family dynamics, your focus, your future, but you’re resisting because it doesn’t align with your plan?
