Job 23:10 (NKJV)

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD

VERY BRIEFLY I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT

(TRUSTING IN A GOD WHO KNOWS )

MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS

A STORY IS TOLD OF CHIPPIE THE PARAKEET

HOW CHIPPIE NEVER SAW IT COMING

ONE SECOND CHIPPIE WAS PEACEFULLY PERCHED IN HIS CAGE

SINGING A SONG INTO THE AIR

THE NEXT SECOND HE WAS SUCK IN

WASH UP AND BLOWN OVER

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

CHIPPIE PROBLEM BEGAN

WHEN HIS OWNER DECIDED TO CLEAN HIS CAGE WITH A VACUUM

SHE STUCK THE NOZZLE INTO THE CAGE TO SUCK UP THE SEEDS AND FEATHERS

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAGE

WHEN THE TELEPHONE RANG

INSTINCTIVELY SHE TURN TO PICK THE PHONE UP

AND SHE HAD BARELY SAID HELLO WHEN

SWOOOP ---CHIPPIE GOT SUCK IN

HIS OWNER GASPED DROP THE PHONE AND SWITCH THE VACUUM OFF

WITH HER HEART BEATING FAST

SHE UNZIPPED THE VACCUM BAG

AND THERE WAS CHIPPIE--- ALIVE BUT STUNNED AND COVERED WITH DUST

HIS OWNER GRABBED HIM

AND RUSH HIM TO THE BATH TUB TURNED THE COLD WATER ON FULL BLAST AND HELD CHIPPIE UNDER THE COLD WATER

THEN IT DAWN ON HER THAT CHIPPIE WAS SHIVERING

BECAUSE THE WATER WAS COLD

SO SHE WENT GOT HER HAIR DRYER TURN IT ON FULL BLAST AND STARTED BLOW DRYING CHIPPIE OFF

CHIPPIE DID SURVIVE

BUT HE DON`T SING ANYMORE

HE JUST SIT IN HIS CAGE AND STARE

AND IT`S NOT HARD TO SEE WHY

FOR CHIPPIE HAD BEEN

SUCK IN --WASHED UP --AND BLOWN OVER

AND IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD

THAT`S ENOUGH TO STEAL A SONG FROM ANY STOUT HEART

AND YOU DO KNOW

THAT LIFE IS LIKE THAT SOMETIMES

YOU NEVER SEE IT COMING

BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE SITUATIONS OF LIFE

WILL SUCK YOU IN

WASH YOU UP

AND BLOW YOU OVER

THAT IS------- SUCK US INTO A VICIOUS CURCUMSTANCE

AND WASH US OVER WITH WORRY AND WEARINESS

AND BLOW US OVER WITH BURDENS

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN TO JOB

HE DID`NT SEE IT COMING OR KNOW IT WAS COMING

BUT PERHAPS THIS MORNING /EVENING

IT`S SOMEONE HEAR UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE

AND THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE GOT YOU FEELING LIKE CHIPPIE

SUCKED IN A VACUUM

WASH OVER WITH A COLD CIRCUMSTANCES

THATS BLOWING YOU WITH THE HEAT OF A HEAVY HEARTACHE

BUT I JUST WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO THE CLUB OF REALITY LIVING

AND TO THE JOURNEY OF FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD

THAT WHY THE WORDS TO THIS HYMN BEFORE US ARE SO MEANINGFUL

BECAUSE JOB SAYS IN

: verse 10 But he knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

JOB SPEAKS A WORD THAT IS VERY INSIGHTFUL AND INSTUCTIVVE

NOTICE ---NOTICE ---NOTICE WHAT JOB SAYS

HE (GOD) KNOWS THAT TRIALS CAN CHALLENGE OUR FAITH

BUT HE (JOB) DECIDED NOT TO LET TRIALS CHANGE HIS FAITH

IN OTHER WORDS JOB IS TELLING US THAT

WE HAVE TO DETERMINE IN OUR SPIRIT IN OUR MIND AND IN OUR FAITH

THAT WE WILL NOT LET LIFE`S CHALLENGES CAUSE OUR FAITH TO DECREASE

BECAUSE YOU DO KNOW THAT

THAT AFFLICTIONS WILL TRY TO AFFECT YOU

DISAPPOINTMENTS WILL TRY TO DEPRESS YOU

AND FAILURES WILL TRY TO FRUSTATE YOU

BUT JOB LET`S US KNOW

THAT WE HAVE TO ACTIVATE OUR FAITH INSTEAD OF FEARS

IN OTHER WORDS

WE HAVE TO PUT WORSHIP OVER WORRIES

POSITIVE OVER THE NEGATIVES

AS WELL POSSIBILITIES OVER IMPOSSIBILITIES

JOB LET`S US KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A MADE UP MIND AND BE COMMITTED TO GOD

THEREFORE OUR FAITH WILL INCREASE AND NOT DECREASE

******************************************

WELL NOT ONLY DOES REAL FAITH DOSE`NT CHANGE UNDER PRESSURE

BUT THE TEXT IS ALSO TAILORED TO TEACH US

THAT REAL FAITH TRUST IN GOD WHEN IT IS TESTED

AND YOU DO KNOW THAT A FAITH THAT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED

IS A FAITH THAT CANNOT BE TRUSTED

FOR JOB SAYS

WHEN HE HATH TRIED ME ,I SHALL COME FORTH AS GOLD

BECAUSE FAITH IN GOD

DOES NOT MEAN THAT OUR LIVES OR EXEMPT FROM THE TESTS OF LIFE

BUT IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE SERVE A GOD

WHO WILL PROVIDE A WAY WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY

A GOD WHO IS ABLE TO LIGHT UP A DARK SITUATION

AS WELL HE IS ABLE TO CARRY US THROUGH THE TRIALS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE

IN OTHER WORDS

THE SAME GOD WHO KNEW

THAT DANIEL WAS IN THE LION`S DEN

THE HEBREW BOYS WAS IN THE BURNING FURNACE

THAT GIDEON AND HIS 300 SOLDIERS WAS VASTLY OUT NUMBERED

THE SAME GOD WHO MADE AWAY FOR PAUL

WHEN HE WAS SHIPWRECKED AT SEA BITTEN BY A SNAKE

AND STONED TO THE VERGE OF DEATH AT LYSTRA

IS THE SAME GOD WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE AWAY FOR YOU AND ME

*****************************************

WELL NOT ONLY DOES JOB LETS US KNOW THAT REAL FAITH DOSE`NT CHANGE UNDER PRESSURE

AND REAL FAITH TRUST IN GOD WHEN IT IS TESTED

BUT HE ALSO LET`S US KNOW THAT REAL FAITH TESTIFIES WHEN IT IS TESTED

AND THE REASON WHY IS

BECAUSE OUT OF ALL OF JOB`S PAIN --GRIEF---REJECTION---HUMILIATION--HURTS AND ACCUSATIONS

JOB DID NOT LOOSE HIS TESTIMONY OF FAITH

AND EVEN IN THE TEXT BEFORE HE TESTIFIES

I SHALL COME FORTH AS PURE GOLD

AND HE LETS US KNOW THAT

ONE OF THE GREASTEST CHALLENGES IN LIFE WE FACE

AS PEOPLE OF FAITH

IS TO NOT LET THE NEGATIVES OF LIFE MAKE US NEGATIVES

IN OTHER WORDS

WE MUST NOT ALLOW THE MISHAPS OF LIFE

MAKE US MISUNDERSTAND THE GOODNESS OF GOD

BECAUSE WHEN LIFE IS UNFAIR –

GOD IS STILL FAIR !!

AND WHEN THE TRIALS OF LIFE GETS US DOWN

GOD IS STILL ABLE TO RAISE US UP

AND NO MATTER HOW SEVERE THE TEST IS

HE IS STILL ABLE TO SUPPLY OUR EVERY NEED

AND THE REASON WHY IS

BECAUSE FAITH IN GOD CANNOT BE DETERMINED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES

BECAUSE GOD KNOWS

THAT TRIALS CHALLENGES OUR FAITH

GOD KNOWS THAT TRIALS OF LIFE CAN BE NIGHTMARE

WORSER THAN THE ONE ON ELMS STREET

THEREFORE WE MUST NOT LET THE TRIALS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE ENRAGE US

BUT WE MUST ALLOW OUR FAITH TO BE ENRICH

WE MUST NOT LET THEM CONQUER US

BUT WITH FAITH IN GOD WE SHALL CONQUER THEM

BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THE VICTIM

BUT WE ARE THE VICTORS THROUGH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST

AND SINCE WE ARE THE VICTORS

WE OUGHT TO HAVE A PRAISE PARTY

AND NOT A PITY PARTY

AND THE REASON WHY WE CAN HAVE A PRAISE PARTY

BECAUSE WE GO INTO OUR TESTING ONE WAY

BUT GOD BRINGS US OUT ANOTHER WAY

WE GO INTO THEM WITH OUR HEADS DOWN

BUT WE COME OUT OF THEM WITH OUR HEAD UP OUR HANDS LIFTED HIGH

WITH A PRAISE ON OUR LIPS AND A SONG IN OUR MOUTH

AS WELL JOY IN OUR HEART

BECAUSE HOW SEVERE THE TESTING IS

THE SWEETER THE BLESSING IS

AND BECAUSE JOB PLACE

HIS CONFIDENCE IN GOD

STAYED COMMITED TO GOD

HE CAME OUT WITH A TESTIMONY

AND HIS TESTIMONY CAN BE SEEN IN CHAPTER 42 :10

BECAUSE JOB PASS THE TEST AND GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF HARD KNOCKS

GOD BLESS HIM WITH A GRADUATING GIFT

AND THE NAME OF THE GIFT GOD BLESS JOB WITH

IS DOUBLE FOR YOUR TROUBLE

AIN`T GOD ALRIGHT

I SAY AIN`T GOD ALRIGHT

CAN I TELL YOU HOW I KNOW HE`S ALRIGHT

IS BECAUSE I TRIED HIM FOR MYSELF

AND SINCE I TRIED HIM FOR MYSELF

YOU CAN`T MAKE ME DOUBT HIM I KNOW TO MUCH ABOUT HIM

YOU SEE I GOT A NEW WAY OF WEARING MY HAIR

I GOT A SMILE ON MY FACE AND YOU DID`NT PUT IT THERE

IN OTHER WORDS

I GOT SONSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY

WHEN IT`S COLD OUTSIDE IN THE MONTH OF MAY

I KNOW YOU SAY

WHAT CAN MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY

HIS NAME IS JESUS

MARY`S LITTLE BABY

JOSEPH`S STEPSON

JAMES ,JUDE ,JOSE AND SIMON BIG BROTHER

JOHN THE BAPTIST SAVIOR

MATTHEWS KING

MARKS SUFFERING SERVANT

LUKES GREAT PHYSICAN

JOHNS WORD MADE FLESH

ACTS COMING OF THE HOLY GHOST

THE ONE THAT HAS MORE BOOKS IN HIS NAME THAN ANY LIBIARY CAN CONTAIN

THE ONE HEROD COULD`NT KILL

SIN COULD`NT SEDUCE HIM

DEATH COULD`NT KEEP HIM AND THE GRAVE COULD`NT HOLD HIM

YOU SEE HE DIED ON A MOUNTIAN CALL CALVARY

PLACE IN BORROWED TOMB

AND I`M GLAD THATS NOT HOW THE STORY ENDS

BECAUSE -------EARLY

I SAY E--A--R--L--Y-- SUNDAY MORNING HE GOT UP

I SAY HE---- GOT UP WITH ALL POWER IN HIS HANDS
