Bible Study Series: Let Go, Partner With God

 LET GO, PARTNER WITH GOD



Definition of Partnership

A partnership is a form of business where two or more people share ownership, as well as the responsibility for managing the company and the income or losses the business generates.


The Bible defines partnership as fellowship

The Greek word for partnership is koinonia which means participation, social

intercourse or benefaction. King James defines partnership as communication


When I partner with God, I am communicating with Him




There are some good partnerships and some bad partnerships




The first partnership of man was with God in the Garden of Eden

Genesis 1:26


God had the plan, the resources and the power


He created everything and partnered with Adam to take care of His creation


Adam was God’s worker

Adam didn’t bring anything to the table but what God gifted him with.


Partnerships have rules

Genesis 2:17

Rule number 1 Follow God’s command

Do not eat from the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil


Partnerships have an objectives

Genesis 1:28

Take care of the garden

Rule over the animals


Partnerships require people to help. God gave Adam Eve.

Genesis 2:18

Adam broke the partnership agreement.


Eve was deceived by the serpent and ate from the tree of knowledge and Good And Evil


Adam followed Eve’s deception and partnered with the devil

The moment Adam ate from the tree, he broke fellowship with God

and partnered with the devil.


Partnerships break down when there are lies and deceptions


Eve was deceived, but Adam told the first lie. Genesis 3:10

Adam said they hid from God because they were naked


PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD

Malachi 2:15

It is because the Lord is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.


When you partner with God, He looks after you

He will tell you when you are wrong.


In any earthly marriage, there are always problems. The temptation will arise. We must

keep our focus on God. The devil is always lurking to tear the marriage apart.


For those of you who are not married. Make Jesus your husband

John 3:29-30

The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends to the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30 He must become greater; I must become less.


Jesus is a mighty good husband. Your first partnership must be with God.

Partnership with Jesus requires

waiting

listening

Humbleness

The result of a partnership with Jesus is joy.



PARTNERSHIP IN EARTHLY MARRIAGE

1 Peter 3:7


7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.


In 51 years of marriage (42 with my first wife and 9 with my second) one of the things

that I have learned is communication is key.


Everybody brings something to the table

Capitalize on each other's strengths

Learn to listen

Never put down your partner's thoughts and ideas

Never see your partner as an enemy

Don’t get frustrated because your partner sees things differently than you

You don’t always have the best idea.

You may not always be right

There is more than one right way to do something.

Compromise, compromise, but compromise on right.




Why does God say women are the weaker partners?


Is it because of strength? No

Is it because of intelligence? No

Is it because of creative ability? No

Is it because of business sense? No


It is because of God’s Sovereign Design For Family



1 Corinthians 11:7-10

7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.


1 Corinthians 11:13-16

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice — nor do the churches of God.


This has nothing to do with control. It has to do man proper role.


It is my belief when a man ceases to be loving and nurturing of his wife and family,

he has abandoned his leadership role


1 Corinthians 11:3-4

Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

NIV



DEFINE A POWER COUPLE


A husband and wife who works together for the glory of

God.


Remember if you are not married, you are a couple with Jesus


PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOSPEL

Philippians 1:3-7


3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.


Requirements of Partnership with the Gospel

Remembering the work of others

Prayer

Thanksgiving

Trust

God planned good work just for you


Guarantee of completion

When you serve God you can’t fail

God accepts what you do for Him

Serving the Lord brings joy


PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHURCH

2 Corinthians 8:23-24

As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brothers, they are representatives of the churches and an honor to Christ. 24 Therefore show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our pride in you, so that the churches can see it.

We work together for Christ

We are brothers and sisters in Christ

We are representatives of the Church of Christ

We honor Christ with our works

Our work is proof of our love

We should take pride in the workers of Christ

We are examples for the world to see


PARTNERSHIP WITH BELIEVERS


Philemon 17-21


17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back — not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 21


Welcome other believers

Ignore any wrongs, charge it to yourselves

Talk to each other

Be refreshed by the work of other believers



BAD PARTNERSHIPS

PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WORLD

Proverbs 29:5-6

Whoever flatters his neighbor

is spreading a net for his feet.


6 An evil man is snared by his own sin,


Partnership with the world is doom to fail if God is not the center.



PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEVIL

Proverbs 2:16-18


16 It will save you also from the adulteress,

from the wayward wife with her seductive words,

17 who has left the partner of her youth

and ignored the covenant she made before God.

18 For her house leads down to death

and her paths to the spirits of the dead.


God defines any partnership with the world as adultery.


THE GREAT REWARD OF PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD

Partnership with God leads to eternal life.

Partnership with world is temporary and can lead to death.



John 10:27-29

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.


Romans 2:7-8

To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.



There is nothing wrong with partnerships, as long as your end is with God,

and the partnership objective is for the good of others.



YOUR OBJECTIVE OF PARTNERING WITH GOD

Colossians 3:23-24

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

NIV






CLASS QUESTIONS


The question is if I partner with God doing His work, where does that leave me?


Will I have time to do what I want to do, if spend my time working for God?


Where is the fun in working for God?


Rev. M. Mitchell














This Week's Sunday Schol Lesson, "Unexpected Blessings" Acts 28:1-10, 8/28/2022

 UNEXPECTED MIRACLES

 

Acts 28:1-11

 

IN YOUR DARKEST HOUR, GOD COMES TO YOUR RESCUE

V:1.  Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. 2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.

A.      When God gives wisdom and foresight, there are times when you need to speak up

And give others the wisdom that God has given you.

1.       During Paul’s four missionary journeys, he traveled the Great Sea. He knew the

Dangers of travel by ship when the seas raged. Some things you know by common

Sense. Some things you do by divine intuition.

2.       Earlier in the voyage by ship, when sailing became dangerous, Paul gave the

The captain the insight that he had which was ignored.

Acts 27:9-11

 So Paul warned them, 10 "Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and our own lives also."

But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and the owner of the ship.

3.       Even though you are ignored, you should still voice the wisdom of God.

Acts 27:22-26

 But now I urge you to keep up your courage because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 23 Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me 24 and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar, and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.' 25 So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. 26 Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island."

4.       The men who failed to listen to the earlier warnings were more receptive when what

Paul predicted happen.

5.       God protects us from seen and unseen dangers.

6.       God has a plan for your trouble.

7.       As Paul predicted the ship ran aground in Malta.

B.      We are not going to die until the good work God planned for us is complete.

1.       The trip to Rome by ship was God’s design.

2.       Sometimes God allows our journey to be sidetracked to different places for

The sake of the Gospel.

3.       The 276 men on the ship owed their lives to the faith of Paul which He used

To encourage them in the Lord.

 

 

 

GOD SHOWS HIS POWER THROUGH YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES

V:3 Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, "This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live." 5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.

6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

 

A.      God is always at work on our behalf.

1.       God prepared the hearts of the people of Malta to receive all men on

The ship and to provide for them doing their 3-month stay.

2.       Once on the Island, Paul continued to serve the men.

3.       In His efforts to keep the fire going by gathering wood,

He was bitten by a poisonous snake.

4.       The snake bite was God’s design for the people of Malta to be introduced to

Paul’s faith in Him.

B.      The Islanders expected that Paul would die after being bit by that snake,

and Somehow justice would be served.

1.       God used the snake bite incident to show the Islanders and the 276

Men of the ship the power of the true and living God.

2.       Paul gained instant favor with the people of Malta with his faith.

3.       We never know how our faith in God affects the minds of others

Around us.

4.       This unexpected side trip was a blessing to all.

5.       People on an out-of-the-way island were introduced to God.

 

 

BLESS OTHERS AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED

V:7. There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and for three days entertained us hospitably. 8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him. 9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.

A.      God never misses an opportunity to bless those who come in contact with men

Of faith.

1.       Notice the two-way street of blessings.

a.       The Islanders blessed Paul and the 276 shipped wrecked men.

b.       Paul under the power of the Holy Spirit blessed the whole Island

Population with the miracles of healing.

2.       God can work from the bottom up. In this case, he worked a miracle in front

Of the men of the Island which got the attention of the chief official of the

Island.

3.       God used the Chief official to display Paul’s faith in Him

4.       Having been entertained by the Chief official, Paul was introduced to

the father who was sick.

5.       Notice Paul’s procedure.

               a. First, Paul interceded with the official's father in prayer

        b. Second, Paul placed his hand on the father.

                      c. The power of Paul’s faith in God healed the father.

6.  We should never miss an opportunity to pray for those in need.

               7. The work of the Gospel is never done.

All the sick on the island were brought to Paul and were healed.

               8. Paul’s faith had a lasting impact on this small island.

               9. We should use our circumstances to advance the Gospel.

 

HONOR GOD AND HE WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO HONOR YOU

V:10 They honored us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies   

          we needed.

A.      Our faith in God and our hospitality cause others to be hospitable to us.

1.       Life is not all about us, it is about advancing the Gospel.

2.       When things don’t go as planned, we need to understand that God

Is in the plan.

3.       If we continue in our faith, God will work miracles in our troubled

Situations.

B.      The faithful journey with God always leads to unexpected blessings.

1.       Faith grows in troubled times.

2.       Paul was falsely accused and, on his way, to be tried at the hands of the enemy,

But continued in faith till the end.

3.       We have no indication in the text that Paul preached Jesus or that anyone on

The island was saved.

4.       I cannot imagine Paul not using the opportunity to praise God to advance the Gospel.

5.       This is an example of how God prepares hearts to receive us and as a result

Allow us to preach Jesus

6.       When we serve others, we store up future blessings.

7.       Whatever happens to us, God allows it for the sake of the Gospel.

This Week's Sunday School Lesson , "Salvation On The Damascus Road", Acts, 9:10-20

 SALVATION ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD

Acts 9:10-20

 

YOUR ROLE IN MAKING DISCIPLES

V:10 In Damascus, there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!, Yes, Lord," he answered.

11 The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."

A.    Every Christian has a starting point in Christ. We have that first

Moment when our eyes are open to the glory of the Lord.

1.     Saul, later to be called Paul had his turning point on the road

To Damascus.

2.     Being a zealous Pharisee, he was headed there with letters from

From the high priest to bound anyone practicing the Christian faith.

Acts 9:3-6

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

 

5 "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.

 

"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6 "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

 

3.     It is my belief that every believer is prepared by God to be on the

Mission field long before they ever thought about Christ.

Saul a Roman citizen and a Jew was born in Tarsus and trained

In the law by one of the best teachers.

 

 

Acts 22:2-4

Then Paul said: 3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. Under Gamaliel, I was thoroughly trained in the law of our fathers and was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.

 

4.     Saul was trained in the law by the interpretation of Jewish

Tradition. His training in the law gave him knowledge of

God but lacked the spiritual power of God.

5.     Saul knew God but not the rightness of God.  According to

Saul’s training, the Law was a tool of judgment but not a

document of love and compassion.

To him, the law was a document of destruction but

Not a document of redemption.

6.     Saul’s experience on the road to Damascus open his eyes

To the love of Christ, he had persecuted. 

 

LIFE EXPERIENCES USED BY GOD

B.     God uses experiences and people to draw us to himself.

1.     Since we were predestined before the foundation of the

Earth, God leaves nothing to chance in our molding to

The Christian faith.

2.     From birth Saul was trained to be the Paul we know as the

As the humble servant of Jesus Christ and the champion of

Gospel.

3.     God joins people together for a season and a reason for

His glory.

4.     Both Saul and Ananias had visions of their meeting for the

Redemption of the Gentiles.

5.     God has a purpose for everyone He puts into your life.

6.     It is up to us to see the work of God in unexpected situations.

7.     Saul’s experience on the road to Damascus open his eyes

To the love of Christ, he had persecuted.  

 

 

 

 

YOUR RESPONSE TO GOD’S CALL

V:13 "Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."

A.    When the Lord calls us to do something, I think it ok to voice our

Opinions, based on our knowledge.

1.     However, we must consider that our opinions are ignorant of

God’s divine plan.

2.     Out of obedience, we must be prepared to act on God’s commands

Knowing that our ways are not His ways.

B.     We must know that whatever God commands us to do will work for our

Good and the good of all believers.

1.     God did not give us the job of judging other people.

2.     God can use who we think is the worst sinner for His

Glory.

 

THE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR THE MISSION

V:15 But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."

A.    When we go to God in prayer with thanksgiving, He will in His

Time reveals to us the reason for His commands.

1.     Ananias knew what he knew about Saul but didn’t

Know the plan God had for Saul.

2.     All of our experiences have been allowed by God to make us

Uniquely qualified for His plan for our life.   

B.     All believers are chosen by God to be the light that draws others to Him.

1.     All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.

2.     Even though God has chosen us, the punishment for our sins

Will also be used for His glory.

THE BUSINESS OF DISCIPLESHIP

V.17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here — has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength.

A. God uses us to be the vessel that brings others to the light of His

     Glory.

1.     We must see everyone as potential brothers and sisters in Christ.

2.     Everyone God puts into our life is there to be ministered to by us.

3.     We are an important step in the process of bringing others to Christ.

B, God has already done the work of preparing others for His mission.

1.     Our job is to welcome them into the body of Christ.

2.     God sends us to make disciples baptizing them in the name of

The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3.     When we lay our hands on God’s chosen, we extend

The right hand of fellowship to the body of Christ.

C.      Notice that even though Saul was chosen by God, it was not

Until he was ministered to by Ananias that he saw the light.

1.     We exercise the power of the Holy Spirit when we are

Obedient to God’s commands.

2.     Ministry is not just a word, it is acting in obedience.

3.     The new Christian needs our support on the way to their

Ministry.

4.     The right hand of fellowship is the start of our relationship

With new believers.

D.    Discipleship continues by bringing new believers into the

Mist of other believers.

1.     New believers need our counseling and support in their

Development.

2.     We should commit time and resources to develop

Disciples.

 

GIVE NEW DISCIPLES A CHANCE TO SHINE

V:19b. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.

A.    Discipleship continues by bringing new believers into the

Mist of other believers. 

1.     We may never know what gifts others bring to the body of

Christ until we give them the opportunity to serve.

2.     By being obedient, Ananias was an important step

In Saul’s conversion.

B.     We are called to minister to everyone, regardless of their

History.

1.     It is not what we think of anyone that counts, but what

God plans for their lives.

2.     It is a blessing when God allows us to play

A part in someone’s salvation.

3.     We are all part of the ministry of making disciples.

4.     Make discipleship your priority.

Bible Study Series: Don't Mess With Me. Acts 12:11

 DON’T MESS WITH ME

 

Acts 12:11

 

11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating."

 

 

Have you ever had a tough day?  When people were messing with you.

Folk lying on you. Folk giving you a hard time.

 

Well, I got a message for them. Don’t mess with me.

 

YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE KING

You got the king's inheritance

You got the King’s Love

You got the King’s Grace

You got the King’s mercy

You got the King’s protection

You got the King’s provisions

You are part of the King’s plan

You got a big brother name, Jesus

 

Don’t mess with me, you will cause me to come to myself

Acts 12:11

11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating."

 

Anytime I am worried, I am out of my mind

Anytime I am frustrated, I am out of my mind

Anytime I am fearful, I am out of my mind

 

Doing the feast of the Passover, Herod wanted to kill some Christians.

He killed James the brother of John. He put Peter in jail till after the

Feast to kill him

 

I don’t know whether Peter was worried or not. I do know the

Church was praying for him. The text says, Peter came to Himself.

 

 

When you come to yourself, you are going to realize that God is on your side

When you come to yourself, you will realize that God’s got his angels

Encamped around you.

No matter what evil plans folk have, God has a rescue plan.

God knows the plans of men before they formulate them in their hearts.

 

God allows you to face trouble so He can stir up the growth of your faith.

When you come to yourself, you will not doubt that God will take care of you.

Don’t mess with me, you cause the building of my confidence in the Lord

 

GOD WILL USE THEIR EVIL TO MAKE ME RECOGNIZE MINE

Don’t mess with me because God will use them to bring me

Back to Him

Luke 15:17-18

17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

KJV

 

CAUSE ME TO STUDY MY BIBLE

Don’t mess with me, you cause me to study my Bible.

When I study my Bible I will realize that I am the head

And not the tail. God expects you to lead the pact to him

And not follow them to hell.

When you mess with me you cause me to remember that I am

More than a conqueror.

When you mess with me you make me meditate on the Word that

Says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

 

 

 

PUT ME IN A JOYFUL MODE

When you mess with me, you will cause me to realize that God

Has a reason why He allows you to trouble me.

 

James 1:2-5

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

When folk mess with you, they will cause you to go into a joyous mode,

They cause you to realize that what they are doing  is a test of

Your faith.

When folk mess with you, they help you develop perseverance  

When they mess with you they help you to become mature

And complete.

When they mess with you the process will give you everything  to

Live in this life.

 

I CAN FORECAST YOUR DARK DAYS

Don’t mess with me because I can forecast your future.

When I study the word, I tell can you that you have some dark days

Ahead of you. Look what the Lord says,

Matthew 7:1-2

 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

You will not escape the consequences of your actions

I don’t have to defend myself, because vengeance is the Lords 

       The Lord can create some stuff you can get rid of.

                   Covid 19

                   Monkey pops

Find Ezekiel 25:17-

Find Hosea 8:7

 

YOU CAUSE ME TO HUMBLE MYSELF

Don’t mess with me.

When you mess with me you cause me to humble myself before the Lord

And lift up Jesus.

When you lift up Jesus. He will lift you up.  Because He said, If I be

Lifted up, I will draw all men to myself.

No one can keep you down because God will lift you up.

 

 

 

PROMOTE ME TO A HIGHER LEVEL

Don’t mess with me.

You may think the pain you caused me was your design

But you were being used by the Lord so I could be promoted to save

others

Genesis 45:4-6

4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come closer to me." And they came closer. And he said, "I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. 5 "Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

 

I WILL PRAY FOR YOU

Don’t mess with me because I will pray for you and change your life.

Look at the example Jesus gave me.

Luke 23:34

 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

 

God demands you to get into their business.                                                                         Add the enemy to your prayer list.

Putt them on notice, that you are praying for a  change in

Their ways.  Pray that God works in the life of

The enemy and caused them to do the right thing.                                                             My job is to pray for their salvation.

 

When someone messes with you, they take you to another spiritual level.

Matthew 5:43-45

43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.

 

The pain people cause you are designed to make you a better person.

You are reminded of your position in the kingdom of Heaven.

 

THEY CAUSE GOD TO ACTIVATE MY PRAYERS

Don’t mess with me.

When you mess with me you cause God to act on my prayers.

When the enemy mess with you, God is using them to bless you and your family.

You remember the Israelites. God used the enemy to cultivate a

Land of milk and honey for them that He promised Abraham 400

Years earlier.

 

 Find Exodus 3:7-10

 

The pharaoh of Egypt messed with Israel

God cause Him to let Israel go will gold and animals, clothes that lasted

Forty years in the desert.

God let enemy nations cultivate a land of milk and honey to give

To the Israelites.

 

All they had to do was walk around Jericho 7 times and SHOUT FOR

THE LORD. And the walls fell down.

 

When folk are messing with you, get in your shouting mode

God is getting you prepared for a blessing

 

When the enemy messes with you they don’t know what they have to give up

 

Talk show host, Alex Jones was ordered to pay 45 million dollars for                                   messing with the Mother of  Sandy Hook whose son was killed.

According to the news, Alex repeatedly claimed the Sandy Hook murders were a hoax and her son never existed.

 

TAKE A NOTE; THE SANDY HOOK MOTHER WAS THE BIGGER PERSON

SHE FORGAVE ALEX FOR THE PAIN HE CAUSED HER FAMILY AND

FELT SORRY FOR HIM

 

HER PERSEVERANCE IN PURSUING THE CASE WAS A VICTORY FOR THE TRUTH

 

You don’t have to worry about the enemy because God will send someone to

Rescue you and take you to a better place

TELL THE ENEMY DON’T MESS WITH ME

 

Rev. M. Mitchell
