THE PROMISE LAND

Thought: What's been on my mind

Challange : To set my course, climate and condition with Gods Word.

Genesis 22

Luke 6:45

Think before you speak

When Jesus spoke he was always speaking in obedience to the father. He spoke in truth and right standing.
Do I really want the truth?
When we speak are we saying what God says?

When we pray are we prioritizing our needs before our wants?

Vengeance belongs to the Lord.

Trust in the Lord with all they might, we can not trust in ourselves because our minds are finite!

We believe God for something we can't see. I the world that's crazy. The Bible says blessed is he who does not see yet belives.

Abraham beleived God, when God spoke he moved.

Start to do what God tells you.

Many of us should have died a longtime ago, but God saw it fit for us to live on. He continues to deliver us from the enemy.

WE ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

At the name of Jesus all knees shall bow, every tung will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Job 38:3- Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

In human history, only Christ has suffered more than Job. The enemy believed that Job only served God because he was extremely wealthy. The hedge satan referred to around him in Job the first chapter was actually God’s hands protecting Job. The enemy’s challenge to his God (Matt. 4:7) was for the Lord to remove His hands from Job, and satan claimed he could get Job to curse God. SATAN WAS REALLY JEALOUS OVER GOD’S FAVOR ON JOB’S LIFE. God gave Job into satan’s hands. The old serpent destroyed everything Job owned. He even murdered his children. When Job would not curse God after all this, satan asked for permission to afflict Job’s body. God gave it to him, with one stipulation: he could not take Job’s life. Towards the end of Job’s ongoing saga he was bankrupt, without any family, and probably looked like a monster according to the biblical descriptions of his conditions. Yet Job maintained his faith in God! And God’s favor not only restored him, but gave him double for his trouble.

Job 38:3 has always awed me because God challenged Job to stop wining, and to prepare his mind to redirect his thoughts! This is exactly what “Gird up now thy loins” means. Job’s tribulation, test, trial, was to test his faith in God. Job’s life lets us know that no matter how bad it gets, GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL. His grace is sufficient for our every need. It even strengthens us when we are weak (II Cor. 12:9). Do not be overwhelmed by what you are confronting. Do not think of the magnitude of your problem, but think of the greatness of your God. God is demanding that you hear Him. Open up His Word and find out what He wants to say to you.

Say What God Said - Speak Life

FAVOR JUST AIN’T FAIR
