WHY JUST SIT HERE UNTIL WE DIE




 

WHY JUST SIT HERE UNTIL WE DIE

 

 

We were always taught that to “wait upon the Lord” meant to sit and remain immobile until we SEE the hand of God move and fulfill whatever was promised.

 

We call it waiting on God, but it is really unbelief.

 

 

We muster all of our religious nobility and declare God has us in the wilderness…

…BUT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN:

·         “His divine power HAS GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue”

·         “YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE NOW! We can come to God with no doubts.” (1Jn5:13-14ERV)

·         “The LORD is my shepherd; I WILL ALWAYS HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED.” (Ps23:1ERV)

·         And God is able to make ALL grace abound toward you, that you, ALWAYS HAVING ALL SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS, may have an abundance for EVERY good work.” (2Cor9:8NKJV)

·         “For ALL THE PROMISES of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (1Cor1:20NKJV)

 

 

 

2Ki6-7 recounts King Ben-Hadad of Aram, Syria staging his army around Samaria, the Israelite capital, to starve them into submission.

 

A severe famine ensued inside the city, and Israel was in panic mode.

 

 

2Ki7:3-4BSB “Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate, and they said to one another, ‘WHY JUST SIT HERE UNTIL WE DIE?’”

 

They figured they had three options:

1.      Go into the city and die from famine;

2.      stay where they were and die.

3.      go to the camp of the Syrians… and “If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”

 

So… they went to the Syrian camp and to their surprise… no one was there!

 

God had caused the whole camp to hear the sound of “chariots, horses, and a great army”… at which they fled in terror, leaving EVERYTHING behind.

 

 

It is time to stop waiting for someone or something to change or move. 

 

 

The enemy has fled and left ALL the spoils to you.

 

 

Neh4:14NKJV "Do not be afraid of them. 

Remember the Lord, great and awesome, 

and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."

 

 

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.” (2Cor10:4-NASB)

 

 

Isa52:2BSB

·         Shake off your dust! 

·         Rise up

·         Remove the chains from your neck

 

 

Deut9:23NKJV “Go up and possess the land which I HAVE GIVEN YOU”

 

 

WHY JUST SIT HERE UNTIL WE DIE!?!?!

SPLITTING HEIRS

  SPLITTING HEIRS   Rom8:16-17 “…We are children of God, and if children… …heirs of God …and joint heirs with Christ…”   For some reason I always thought that “joint heirs with Christ” meant that He was inheriting a certain portion, and I inherited a certain portion assigned to me. In other words… I believed we SPLIT the inheritance… Christ getting HIS allotment… and then somehow, whatever was designated as my allotment was given to me as deemed necessary.   However… the word translated “joint heir” [ sugkléronomos] is a compound made up of: 1.          sun : meaning… so closely identified together as completing one another 2.          kleros : lot or portion … inheritance   SO… Christ and I complete one another and are so closely identified as to BE ONE , thus inheriting the fullness of the inheritance TOGETHER … with complete access… no “my portion”… no “my allotment”… no measur...

WHAT YOU ALLOW

  WHAT YOU ALLOW   The age old question, “Why would a loving God LET that happen?”, comes from a very confusing perspective of the sovereignty of God.   The Oxford dictionary defines “LET” as: “ NOT prevent or  forbid ”, but, rather… “ ALLOW . ” …as in, "my boss LET me leave early"                                     …or… “who LET the dogs out?” We wonder why He doesn't intervene to prevent evil from happening, but, then again- most people would rather Him not meddle at all and LET us do what we please.   However, in His sovereignty, God gave dominion over everything on the Earth to MAN! (Gen1:26,28)   Yes… Adam fell and forfeited his standing with The Creator of All… BUT… The last Adam, Jesus Christ, RESTORED the grace… the right standing… and the authority to once again rule and h...

AND DAVID PERCEIVED

  AND DAVID PERCEIVED     Are you a glass, half full… or a glass, half empty type of person? Some may say that it depends on the situation. Some say it depends on how thirsty you are. No matter the rationale behind it all… your PERCEPTION determines your reality. It doesn't matter if it is true, or not… how you PERCEIVE a situation, person, or life condition determines what YOU BELIEVE to be true and real. Marcus Aurelius in his “Meditations” stated, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective , not the truth.”     PERCEPTION is everything!     The Oxford dictionary defines PERCEPTION as, “ the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.”     But what if there is another way to PERCEIVE which brings us into a way of processing life through THE TRUTH , rather that allowing PERCEPTION to define TRUTH ?     2Sam5:12KJV records, “And David P...
