When a person has been fighting a battle with depression or addiction it is SO hard to really trust in God. When you are lonely or you put yourself in a place to be lonely, you will find that you are vulnerable to anything and anyone, that’s why it is so important to stay, prayed up and keep the line of communication open between you and God.
1. COMMUNICATION ISI. No matter who you are, rather you are a husband and wife or just dating always keep your communications open so that you both can get closer and better know one another.
II. God wants to hear from you on a daily basis, not just when you want...Money, Help, and Blessings. When you are out driveing strike up a conversation with Jesus, let him know that he is or at least better be your everything, he wants you to tell him you love him, worship him.
2. GOD DOESN'T TAKE BACKSEAT I. When you are going through life and all the sudden you feel alone, just take time to think... "Did I put God in the Back seat"? So many times we get our blessing and within a couple weeks are all down and sad. Trust that God is in control and knows what you have need of in your life.
3. THE GREAT ASSIMENTI. When we trust In God to rule our life we always seem to think that he needs our help, the fact of the matter is he is God and he doesn’t need our help. Only he knows what we have need of in our life. (Matt 6:8 ...Be not ye therefore like
unto them: for your Father
knoweth what things ye have
need of, before ye ask him.
II. When Abraham brought his son to be sacrificed he was trusting in God to send the ram. But, with him not really knowing anything he took him in faith, as they went to worship and be sacrificed.
In Life God will ask you to sacrifice something so precious to you just like Abraham did with Isaac, when this time comes always know that God will make the way and provide everything. As they approached the place where the sacrifice would take place he told the boy to stay with the donkey as the lad and I go up to worship and come again (Genesis 22:5)
When God sees that you are truly dedicated to him and his word he will ALWAYS bless you when it’s all said and done, just as he did with Abraham.
As Abraham brought the wood for the burnt offering and laid it upon Isaac his son and they went up just the two. At this point it would be safe to say that Isaac was wandering where the ram was, they had fire and they had a knife.
See, we will come to a place where we need a move of God and we are really depending on God to provide no matter the circumstances, If you have any children then you can probably understand Abrahams thoughts, his only son, his only seed to carry his name through the generations to come and he was about to kill him..
As it was with all the promises of
God that Abraham knew he took the knife in his hand and reared back to slay his only son when the angel of the lord appeared (Genesis 22:11) After the angel of the lord spoke in (Genesis 22:13) we see how God came through for Abraham and sent a RAM!... God knows just what to do to get your attention, he is the way maker he is Jehovah God he makes the way when we see walls, he makes a door through walls he made a door for Moses right through the red sea and not one child of God was killed that day.
Chapter 2.(Luke 16:13)" No servant can SERVE TWO MASTERS: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
