2 Different meanings of deny
Matt 10: 32-33  First use is disavow
There are 2 ways to disavow, one way is to keep quiet about, the other is to speak out against as when Peter said he didn’t know Jesus 3 times.
Matt 16: 22-24  Have absolutely nothing to do with self, disown, divorce self.
Psalm 116: 1-10  If you believe, you will speak (about Christ to all in your world). Believe here does not mean intellectual assent, it means to lean only on Him, place yourself in His hands. To believe is to totally divorce oneself.
Phil. 3:7  To count all those things as a loss for Christ is an act of faith. We all try to find a gain to self in the scriptures (to justify self).
Get a divorce from self with no visiting privileges.
We can’t serve God and mammon, mammon is anything we’ve relied on in the past.
Repentance is the only thing that releases the power of God.
