IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE

Judges 6:11

There are times that the preacher’s sermon or God’s word doesn’t make sense. Many people have questions in there heart Genesis 25:22

How do you define the person who God is with?

Somewhere in our minds we already have ways of determining or defining God on our side

There are times that God’s words don’t make sense this is because we try to rationalize His words.

God is a Spirit, God is not man. Numbers 23: 19, James 4:4. What happens most of the time is that we try to use our natural mind to comprehend Him, but this doesn’t work. 1^st Corn 2 (the natural mind can’t comprehend or understand the things of the spirit because they are alien to him. The fact that you to have strength means you can lack strength

Ephesians 3:17. When you lack strength it means you are weak. Remember that winning starts from within. Your strength on the inside is what you use to fight on the outside.

There is nowhere in the bible which states that a Christian will not go through adversities. The problem with Christians is that we don’t know how
to define adversities. 2^nd Corinthians 2:14 there can be no triumph without trials.

Nobody wins without a fight. There is a good fight and a bad fight. 1^st Tim 6:12

Fighting a colleague in the ministry for souls is a bad fight, but fighting the devil for your faith is a good fight. It’s time for us to develop inner muscles and become fighters.

Your faith will be tried James 1:2-3. Contend earnestly for the things you believe in. When your faith is tried and you stand you become victorious, but the moment you fall or curse God it’s all over. (Job 1)

A Christian must be trained to receive punches and not only give punches. Don’t let the devil ever put you down. All he wants to do is make you quit.

1^st Corinthians 10: 1-5. The fact that you are going through adversities doesn’t mean God is not with you. The fact that you lack adversities
does not mean God is with you. 1^st Corinthians 10:12.

Psalm 37:23-25 Let God hold you, don’t hold God. Follow Gods leading your stumbling was orchestrated by God to lift you up. Like Joseph he had to go to prison to get to the palace. (Genesis 41: 1-57)

All things work together for our good. These “all things” are bad things (Rom 8:28) It doesn’t make sense to say all good things work together for
good… Adversities work together for your good. The cross is the pathway to the crown. You have to focus on the crown. You can’t win the
game without dreaming of playing the game.

Proverbs 24:10. God will allow you to face certain challenges to try your strength to know how strong you are. Being in the Lord is not sufficient,
but being strong in the Lord is more important. If you faint in the day of adversity thy faith is small.

Ephesians 6:10 if you are in the Lord, you need to ask yourself how strong am I in the Lord. Make sure the devil gives up on you and not you giving
up on him be sold out for God. Adversities come in our lives to test and tempt our strength. The devil wins when you don’t stand. The moment you
curse God the devil wins.
