Fresh Faith Review
Satan wants to discourage you from serving God.
In fact, that is a little weak for what he really does.
Let me say it this way - Satan wants to destroy your walk with God.
He does this subtly by stealing little things in our lives.
Actually they aren’t little, but he comes in and does it in little ways and before we realize it they are missing.
Then as that happens, he begins to kill things in our lives, our hopes and dream, our faith, our joy
And then finally he get us to a place where our walk with God is nonexistant
Or maybe we cannot trust God for something and we get upset when God doesn’t move the way we thought he should of.
And we are mad.
I’ve met mad people - people who are furious with God for not coming through like they thought he should.
And out point in all of this, was that no matter where we find ourselves, even if we are mad at God, God still loves us and never gives up on us.
He is a God of total, full restoration
He is a God who will remove the enemy’s hold and destructive forces in our lives
And He is a God who can halt the furthering destruction of what the enemy has done and cancel it in our lives, our families, our communities and our church.
The Jews know him as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but in this series we have seen him as the God of Ephraim and Manasseh
The God who can make us forget all of our trouble
And the God who can make us fruitful in the land of our sufferings.
But do we have our faith in that God?
So this summer has been all about how we see God.
What we know about Him.
What we have the ability to trust in him for, and how we can grow that ability to trust him more.
We said that we need a base of faith to stand upon
That is what we know about God
How much of that knowledge becomes understanding of who God really is
And how willing we are to take God at his word.
We said that we need to ask God to Teach us - make us spiritual life-time learners
to ask God to tear us - to bring us down to where he needs us so that he can build us up in him
that means our faith too
to ask God to make us part of the team - take us out of selves and into oneness with the Body - or give us a kingdom mentallity
We said that we have to have the kind of faith to put God first
And that comes from just putting God first - making him the center of our lives
And then we will trust him for everything.
Because we have a natural sin born tendancy to want to preserve ourselves
to save ourselves and to promote ourselves
And when these two things are in action in our lives, we will never be able to trust God fully.
We will promote our own ideas, and plans and agenda’s above those of Gods.
Putting God first is realizing that our perservation and promotion comes From God
It’s is aligning our lives with the molds that we were created in and for.
It is to stop discussing life with others and ask God, what do you say about this?
It is....
Trusting God with Our Time
Our time is crucial
We cannot ever get time back again
We are affected by time - the second curse of death over Adam
We measure everything in time
We have not control over time
It would actually fall into our thinking of self preservation wouldn’t it?
- I only have so much of this, so I want to use it all for myself, or as much as I can get of it.
What we don’t understand is that this also affects our faith the same too.
We want God to move in our lives, and our lives are marked by time.
Time is flying by so that means that we need God to move now.
And when he doesn’t , we get upset.
We saw that with Martha and Mary when their brother Lazarus had died - Jesus if you had just come when we called, he wouldn’t have died.
We see this in the Old Testament with Elisha and the widows son.
Why did God bless me with this child if he was going to allow him to die?
Pastor Jim Cymbala covers the story of the birth of John the Baptist very well in our reading.
But let’s look over at
This is what Pastor Jim saw as the Divine Setup
the time that God works in will probably never be ours.
Because though time is important to us - It is not to God.
He lives outside of time
The only time that God is concerned about is the ends of the earth - and the harvest
But in anything else, God doesn’t rush things.
We always rush things, because we don’t have time
God does things perfect because he created time.
He makes it.
(recap story)
You see, time is so great to us because it is fleeing
But Do you have faith in a God who is greater than time?
If you don’t, you will never be able to trust the He will get things done - because of the time frame that he moves in (or should I say out of)
And God uses time to his advantage.
our concern for time and tracking time is the greatest thing to God.
Here is how you can have faith in the God who is unmoved by our time restrictions
He is going to get a GREATER Praise!
Because of who He is and How He does things, It is God’s Right and Privilege to be praised
In fact, the scriptures declare in
God will be praised.
And He wants the Greater Praise.
Let’s be honest, God does a lot of things in our lives, and doesn’t get praised the way that he should be.
We forget to thank him most of the time
We don’t share the testimony the way that we should
Sometimes we don’t see the situation for what it is and explain it away as coincidence or fate
But when you are praying for something and that situation goes from bad to worse
And you are praying some more and that situation goes from worse to impossible
And then God moves - The praise is LOUD AND CLEAR - Look what God has done
The doctor couldn’t do it
The Lawyer couldn’t make it happen
The system didn’t work, everything else failed
But God did THIS!
This is what it’s all about.
This is why God moves in His perfect Time
You know what?
Maybe if we made a little more fuss over God in our lives and gave Him more of our lives, we wouldn’t have to rely on him to the very end.
But no matter what, Thank God He is faithful.
We saw a couple of weeks ago with Mary and Martha where he says about their brothers death - Didn’t I tell you that if you would only believe that you would see the glory of God?
In , Jesus heals a man who had been blind from birth.
The religious leaders are furious.
They want to pin something on this Jesus to have him killed
And so they trap the parents of the man
