Bringing your life together
Goal of this Series
Developing active exhilarating faith
experiencing God's intervention in our daily life.
You can believe in God without believing God
Faith is believing God
It is time to synchronize what we say we
believe and what we truly believe.
What we truly believe is evident in our reality
Faith does not make God do anything He did
not already plan to do
We can never manipulate God to give us what
we want
We must cooperating with God so that He can
give us what He wants.
God is not who we say He is
God is not similar to who He says He is
God is not almost who He says He is
God is exactly who He says He is
It births and develops confidence in God
Gen. 17 : 1- 2; Matt. 6:25-34
God declares who He is before He gives a promise or
instructions.
We must give up our neat package of who we
see God is
God is not explainable
God is mysterious
God is not predictable
What we know of God is only partial
We are like a little boy on the beach who is trying to
put the entire ocean into a hole he has dug on the
beach.
What we know of God is only partial
We are like six blind men who visit an Elephant.
The blind man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a
pillar;
The one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope;
The one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a
tree branch;
The one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand
fan;
The one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a
wall;
The one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid
pipe
Jesus asked the Apostles, who do you say I am?
We need to examine who we say God is
Who we say God is control, determines how we
relate with God.
How did we get to that understanding of Who
God is?
Culture – a whistling woman and a crowing hen are
an abomination unto the Lord
Upbringing – A very distant father
Matthew 6:10
The proper understanding of God comes by
revelation through the word.
Having the proper understanding of God
enables us surrender to him
