Intro

Disclaimer: If you are a linear thinker and have no room for revelation today might mess with you. For the rest of you stay with me.

We live in a R handed world.

left handed means sinister

Generally the Left side is the bad side, the .

Rabbinic tradition also establishes hell to the left of God, and heaven on his right side (Midr. ).

wayment, God made the left as He did the right. There’s got to be something.

Other than anthropomorphically, God has no hands,He’s a Spirit. But the Bible says I’m engraved in His palm, with His right hand He holds me (find scripture)

Left side battles:

even in scripture there can be the ill asso w the left side.

Revelation: Just you can’t find out a bunch on it, doesn’t mean I don’t have one.

Deduce attributes of God’s Left hand,

Review of the Right hand

R = Power

Transition: If His right hand represents power, His left hand represents mystery.

I struggled to find anything on God’s L hand. It was always 1) right hand CLEAR

2) hand AMBIGUOUS

3)hands BOTH ARE PRESENT

App: You don’t know when to shout. There is a synchronization going on between his power side and his mystical side. Mystical because we only know 1 thing about it…IT’S GOOD!!!!

James 1:17 NKJV

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

L-egacy

Isaiah 60:19 NKJV

19 “The sun shall no longer be your light by day, Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you; But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light, And your God your glory.

Isaiah 60:21 NKJV

21 Also your people shall all be righteous; They shall inherit the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified.

They are going to be something they never be on their on

They will posses something they don’t deserve

They will benefit from something they didn’t do

All for His glory!!!

App: God’s working in your life for some of or all of these same reasons. You don’t deserve anything!!!! But since His hands have gotten involved. His power and His mystery. You will:

be something you’re not supposed to be

have something you’re not supposed to have

benefit from something you didn’t do

and all He wants is for you to say YOUR HANDS DID IT!!!!

E-ncompasses

synonyms: surround, enclose, encircle

Job 5:18 NKJV

18 For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.

Job 5:17 NKJV

17 “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

job 5:!7

You think you’re going to stay like this?!?!?!?

Ill: If you don’t like where you are just hang-on!!! SEASONS CHANGE!!!!!

No matter where you are winter-spring-summer-fall His hands are involved!!!

Scholar: Hands means Presence.

F-labbergast

Ehud: Don’t see it coming

Ehud: Don’t see it coming

Judges 3:21–23 NKJV

21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 22 Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out. 23 Then Ehud went out through the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

judges 3:21-

“What does this have to do with his left hand?”

When God uses His left hand nobody sees it coming.

Get past places that if He used His right hand it would’ve caused suspicion

Latin: sinister “something harmful or evil is happening or will happen.”

before you call me a heretic, God has a side that He’s a good good Father, vengance is mine

God picked a lefty cause He knows the unexpected nature of the left hand

some are saying “God endorses war.” Not only does He endorse, but the Bible says.

Psalm 144:1 NKJV

1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle—

T-actics

Exodus 15:3 NKJV

3 The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name.

God’s a battle Axe

Judges 3:2 NKJV

2 (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),

T-Tactics

Exodus 15:3 NKJV

3 The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name.

the tactic is to do it with you

I put it all in His hands

And all that He’s done w His hands and you won’t clap your hands!!!

Which one do you want Him to use?

A: BOTH!!!!!

There was a time that we were naming God.

Daniel 11:32 NKJV

32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

He’s my Southpaw.

Why is it hard to fight a southpaw?

Why is it hard to fight a southpaw?

Ill: At breakfast yesterday with some men looked up and saw a fight. Don’t know who fighter was but he’s a southpaw. He throws a left hand and follows up with a right hand. The opponent was already falling out, but the follow up is what took him all the way out!

Yes I want to go up....but I don’t want to see my enemies again

Yes I want to bless me, but I want Him to

Points from last week

All I’m trying to tell you is that God is Ambidextrious!
