TRUSTING THE LORD FOR DIRECTION


Trusting The Lord For Direction



I.                   Psalm 32:8  Amplified Bible (AMP)

            I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

1.      Wait a minute now; he didn’t say the psychiatrist, the counselor, the Doctor, or the friend.

2.      I am not saying the Lord doesn’t use them but He should have the finale say so about everything.

3.      The Lord Himself will direct.

4.      How??  Through instructions and teachings.

5.      Why?? We can miss it. I know you think you are all that but let me tell you that you can miss it.

6.      My old Pastor would say, “A coke and a bag of chips.”

7.      Have you heard the song by Minister Donald Lawrence; (We are a spiritual being having a natural experience.) There are so much that tries and sometimes hinders us from hearing from God precisely.

8.      Remember when Elijah was on the mountain trying to hear from God. Once things got quiet he was able to hear from the Lord.

a.       1Ki 19:11-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

         Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

9.      Did you notice the Lord was there the hold time but He didn't speak until He was ready? What if Elijah had move after the rocks broke or earthquake or fire, how many of you know that he would have missed God?

10.  If the enemy can’t stop you he will try to get you to move ahead of God.

11.  The noise could be a number of things job, relationships, economy ect….

12.  Stay persistence the Lord sees and knows all



II.                Psa 34:15  Amplified Bible (AMP)

            The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.

1.      To me uncompromisingly means don’t give up.

2.      Keep your business right before the Lord.

3.      Keep living Holy. If you make a mistake repent and get back on the horse.

4.      God is watching you and listening to everything that concerns you child of the Most Highest.



III.             Isaiah 40:31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.

1.      Expect Him any minute to do exactly what you believe for.

2.      Remember that God is bound by His word, so make sure this is in His will for you.

3.      Hebrews 11:6   But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

a.       Watch this, waiting is seeking.

b.      God can not lie and His word is true.

c.       Get quite now I believe your word is here, listen to the voice of God.
