Peter Roselle: Fearfully & Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139:14)
This service was held on 1/17/2021 in Basking Ridge, NJ, in the tenth month of COVID-19 lockdowns and at the end of a contentious presidential election. This part of the sermon focused on the importance of keeping our hearts open in our interactions with other people. When you judge another person, you end up defiling something that God holds in high value. We need to repent of our judgements against people because each one is “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

When you think of a genius who's the first person that comes to mind? Einstein is usually the first one that most people mention. What about Jesus? He was the smartest person who ever lived! Yes, somehow, he's been made out in the movies and the ways we think of him as some kind of spiritual spooky guy, saying things that people didn't understand. 

Proverbs 25:2 (TPT)
God conceals the revelation of His word in the hiding place of His glory. But the honor of kings is revealed by how they thoroughly search out the deeper meaning of all that God says.

Proverbs 25:2 says we need to get in that hiding place of glory if you want His revelation. That is where He will show you how to apply His wisdom with the people that you're interacting with. Every person you interact with is a gem to the Lord, because they were made in his image. But applying this to everyone is very difficult. 

This teaching in the Possessing Your Vessel class we run is called “Bitterroot Judgements,” based on Hebrews 12:14-15: “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.”

We all have gone through difficult times in our lives when we have been disappointed by others or betrayed by friends or family members. We often make inner vows after those bad things happen. Our self-talk, heard only inside our heads, might be, 
"I will never let that happen again.” 
“I will never be like my father.”
“I will never be like my mother.”
“I will never trust a man.”
“I will never trust a woman." 

Unfortunately, you end up becoming the very thing you so despised by virtue of the power of those bitter root judgments that you made. You “sowed the wind” and end up “reaping the whirlwind.” (Hosea 8:7)

When you judge another person you end up defiling something that God holds in high value. We need to repent of our judgements against people. That's a different days teaching. Jesus is “the exact expression of God's true nature,” and Holy Spirit is his nature inside of us.

The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, is alive in you. This is not a ghost. It is true that Holy Ghost is one of the translations for Holy Spirit. The spiritual aspect of it is powerful but, the exact expression, was in Jesus. Part of that is in you. God wants us, to be exact expressions of His nature. The God that has no limits, places a part of His nature in a limited structure (our body), and empowers us to do things that are supernatural. 

We can pray in line with Matthew 6:10, “Let your kingdom come today, Lord, let your will be done here on earth through my life, as it is in heaven.”
The New English translation for 
Hebrews 1:3 (NET)
"The son is the radiance of his glory, and the representation of his essence." 

I love that word essence. The picture I got is when a chef boils down everything in the pot - the essence is what is left. Picture Jesus on the cross - everything has been stripped away. He is at the end of his earthly life, and he says, "Father, forgive them." That is the essence of who he is. He was human, he could have sinned. He could have held resentment and bitterness, but no, the essence of who He is spills out and says, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:24)

That same Spirit lives in us. Holy Spirit can work in us in every transaction if we ask him to. He is the exact expression of God's essence, living inside of me. I can ask my wife at the end of the day, "How did I express His essence, in by behavior towards you?" 

Holy Spirit the exact expression and essence of God” pneuma, that's breath, the breath of God, which is needed to live. The breath of God in your conversations is essential or your relationships won't flourish.
When the Spirit is not in charge, we end up saying things out of that carnal side of our nature - that fleshly side of our nature.
