EVIDENCE OF HIS GOODNESS

CAN YOU SEE THE EVIDENCE OF HIS GOODNESS TODAY?

EXODUS 2:21-22 21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses. 22 And she bore him a son. He called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a stranger in a foreign land.”

IF YOU’RE GOING TO BECOME WHAT GOD SAID, THEN YOU MUST GO THROUGH MIDIAN TO BECOME IT

*WHAT HAS GOD SAID ABOUT YOU?!

Hebrews 11:24–26 NKJV

By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

YOUR SPIRIT WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE COMFORT AS A REPLACEMENT FOR DESTINY

THE COST IS EVERYTHING - YOUR SPIRIT DOESN’T CARE WHAT YOUR SOUL WANTS

THERE IS NO CERTAINTY & NO BARGAINING WITH GOD

FAITH IS THE PROCESS - TO RESIST THE PROCESS IS SIN

WHERE IN YOUR LIFE ARE YOU COMPROMISING WHAT GOD IS ATTEMPTING TO CREATE IN YOU?

HOW TO IDENTIFY WHEN YOUR SPIRIT IS FIGHTING AGAINST YOUR SOUL

FRUSTRATION

REBELLION

CYNICISM

RESENTMENT

CONFUSION

FRUSTRATION - YOU KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BECOME YOU’RE NOT WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE TO BECOME IT.

REBELLION BY DELUSION SELF DECEPTION - MINIMIZE AND RATIONALIZE THE COST TO BECOME WHAT GOD SAID.

CYNICISM - JUSTIFY COMPROMISE BY THE BELIEF THAT PEOPLE ARE MOTIVATED BY SELF INTEREST - NIHILISM *BITTER - REFUSE AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS THAT HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE

RESENTFUL - INTERNALIZE THE BELIEF THAT YOU ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY *JUSTIFY ANGER

CONFUSION - LACK SELF AWARENESS AND EMOTIONAL IQ

YOUR DESTINY GOES THROUGH MIDIAN

EXODUS 3:1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

MIDIAN IS SEPARATION FROM SECURITY OF EGYPT

LONELY, REJECTED, FORSAKEN

2 Corinthians 4:7–9 NKJV

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

PLACE WHERE FAITH IS GALVANIZED PLACE

WHERE DELIVERERS ARE FORGED

GOD IS FORGING DELIVERERS IN THIS HOUR

WHAT BRINGS YOU SECURITY

WHERE IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE ARE YOU EXPLOITING CORPORATE ANOINTING IN PLACE OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS?

LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTIMATE VS PUNISHMENT

GODS GRACE IN MIDIAN IS THE GIFT OF GERSHOM

EXODUS 2:22 22 And she bore him a son. He called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a stranger in a foreign land.”

GERSHOM IS THE EVIDENCE OF GODS LOVE IN YOUR LONELY PLACE

MY EXILE IS NOT FUTILE! THE WILDERNESS IS TIME ALONE WITH GOD

LOOK WHAT I BROUGHT BACK FROM MY WILDERNESS!

I WENT THROUGH HELL, BUT LOOK WHAT I BROUGHT BACK!

GOD PROMISES TO BRING YOU OUT WITH EVIDENCE OF HIS GOODNESS.

ROMANS 8:28 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

HOLD ON WHILE IN MIDIAN!
