God Will Make A Way
PASTOR GREG SIMON
Isaiah 41:10 MSG
“Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.”
Psalm 77:16-20 NLT
“When the Red Sea saw you, O God, its waters looked and trembled! The sea quaked to its very depths. 17 The clouds poured down rain; the thunder rumbled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed. 18 Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook. 19 Your road led through the sea, Your pathway through the mighty waters — a pathway no one knew was there! 20 You led Your people along that road like a flock of sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.”
1 Peter 1:13 KJV
“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;”
Peter is not talking about a garment made of material; but he refers to the loins of our minds.
If we don’t:
— deal with the loose ends that exist in our minds and emotions;
— correct parts of our thinking that we know are wrong;
— grab hold of dangling areas in our thinking and put them out of the way;
Reject doubt and fear; Stop fear, refuse doubt, by controlling your mind with Scripture and focusing on the solution.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 MEV
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,”
2 Corinthians 10:5 MEV
“casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,”
Dismiss negativity and invite faith.
Hebrews 4:14-16 NLT
So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we do, yet He did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
Exodus 14:10-15 NLT
As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord, 11 and they said to Moses, “Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt? 12 Didn’t we tell you this would happen while we were still in Egypt? We said, ‘Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It’s better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!’” 13 But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. 14 The Lord Himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
Psalms 106:7-8 MEV
“Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; they did not remember the abundance of Your mercy, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. 8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power known.”
1. Focus on God’s Promises, not rational explanations.
Proverbs 3:5-6 MSG
“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track.”
1 John 5:14-15 MEV
“This is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 So if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have whatever we asked of Him.”
1 Peter 2:24 MEV
“He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness. ‘By His wounds you were healed.’”
Focusing on the answer activates faith.
Numbers 23:19 NLT
“God is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not change His mind. Has He ever spoken and failed to act? Has He ever promised and not carried it through?”
2.Trust God’s Power, not your limited resources.
Romans 4:19-21 NLT
“And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead— and so was Sarah’s womb. 20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever He promises.”
3.Expect God’s Word, not your finite experience.
Galatians 5:6 MEV
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith which works through love.”
James 5:16 MEV
“Confess your faults to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.”
The way you measure out is how it will be measured back.
Luke 6:38 MEV
“Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will men give unto you. For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you.””
Colossians 4:2-3 CEV
“Never give up praying. And when you pray, keep alert and be thankful. 3 Be sure to pray that God will make a way for us to spread his message and explain the mystery about Christ, even though I am in jail for doing this.”
Move forward and obey God.
Exodus 14:15 NLT
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!’”
Give God space to work – PRAY.
Philippians 4:6 NLT
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.”
1 Peter 5:7 MEV
“Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.”
Mark 11:22-24 NLT
Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. 23 I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. 24 I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.”
