Romans 8: 1-2; 38-39 Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. I. No condemnation. There is therefore, now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 II. No separation. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 III. Defined in shape and capacity by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:1-38 In these verses the Holy Spirit is mentioned 19 times with 11 important thoughts. If you are rightly related to God through Jesus Christ, submitted to His indwelling Spirit, then you are free, secure, destined, purposeful, hopeful and at peace!

“And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has. We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings as our own." Romans 8:17 Royalty is Confident, Poverty is insecure. Royalty creates opportunities, Poverty waits for opportunities. Royalty takes care of problems, Poverty buries it’s problems. Royalty says “I'm a victor,” Poverty says “I’m a victim.” Royalty attacks the enemy, Poverty tries to defend against the enemy and continues to fail. Royalty hates sin, Poverty makes excuses for sin. Royalty finds an opportunity in every problem, Poverty finds a problem in every opportunity. Royalty feels empowered, Poverty feels entitled. Royalty makes history, Poverty fears the future. Royalty takes responsibility, Poverty blames others. Royalty asks “Who is worthy of my investment?” Poverty asks “What can you do for me?” Royalty surrounds itself with powerful influencers, Poverty surrounds itself with other people who continue to validate poverty. Royalty eats from the royal feast, Poverty eats from the trash.
