Luke 1:37 “For with
God nothing will be impossible.”
Just the other Sunday,
Pastor Kyle preached about the provision of God in our Christian walk. You may
have heard the old saying: When doors get shut in our life, God opens windows. But
even more spectacular, opens doors that cannot be opened by His almighty hand. Life
in this fallen world will surely have years in the proverbial desert with
seemingly insurmountable obstacles where we ask: “what’s going on?” and “How
long Lord?” We can rest assured that God will pave a way through the desert for
us. Remember that problems and trials test and mature us.
Romans 8:31-32 “What
then shall we say to these things? If God is for us,
who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered
Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”
Pastor Kyle listed four
things for us to know about how God paves the path to our miracle. First, only
a genuine relationship (not empty human religion) with God can get us to our
miracle or through our obstacle. Be careful what you allow to enter your mind
and heart. The great deceiver and enemy of the kingdom of heaven, the devil,
come to steal, kill and destroy by distracting our senses off the Lord Jesus
and sidetrack our time and walk with the Holy Spirit by way of lies that lead
to sins of self-centered adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, addictions, hatred, contentions,
jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders,
drunkenness, revelries, disobedience, covetousness, greed, envy, and the
like.
Deuteronomy 20:4 “For
the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight
for you against your enemies, to save you.”
Be aware that there is
spiritual war in this world. So, cultivate a genuine relationship with the One
true God of the Bible and reject all other gods. Not just filling time with
pious activities, but with an obedient life in true relationship. The reason
that we fail, sometimes, is because we are not following Father God and we
shouldn’t expect much when God is not with us. Secondly, sometimes it will feel
like we’re not getting anywhere. Just going through the motions, even religious
motions, without a faithful and authentic relationship with our Lord God is
just spinning our wheels or going in circles.
Let’s continue Pastor Kyle’s
message o the next post.
In Christ, Brian
