What do you expect from God?
The last time you asked God for healing, how was your prayer
answered? Did you ask someone to pray
for you and then your healing manifested?
Now you're sick again, do you go back to the same person for prayer and then
get no result? So what do you do? Unemployed, been unemployed before, prayed
for a week or so, then a new job came. Unemployed again, prayed for a week or
so, still unemployed. Months later,
still unemployed. What do you do
now? Something different? What? Remember -- if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always
gotten.
Now you are facing the most difficult challenge you've ever
experienced. You may be thinking that
even to God, this presents a real challenge.
Doctor's report bleak ... unemployment checks stopped ... your dream
house in foreclosure ... got to sit through another trial of the one that
killed your son ... 16 year old daughter pregnant a second time ... relative
been missing for 30 days. Is any of this
too hard for God? I know God has done
the impossible in the Bible stories. I’ve
even heard of miracles He has performed for others. Can I expect God to do the
same for me?
Consider 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 where Paul reminds us that for
40 years in the wilderness, God provided manna (spiritual food) and water
(spiritual drink) for the Israelites. The Word says they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. Tell yourself that God provided water in the
wilderness desert from a Rock that followed them for 40 years. Do you know and serve the same God that did
the impossible for them? Will He do the
impossible for you? Will He make a way out of no way for you? Will He provide
rivers of water in your wilderness experience?
Will He make streams in the desert for you? Yes!!!
Can you keep doing what you've always done and expect a
different result? No!!! If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
