14,600 DAYS OF THE SAME OLD SAME OLD? THEN GOD?
SET YOUR MIND ON A MIRACLE!
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Ephes. 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
I. THERE IS A BATTLE OF THE INTERNAL ATTITUDE OR MIND SET THAT WE ALLOW TO DICTATE TO OUR SPIRIT MAN!
A. Are we buzzards? or turkeys? or eagles.
Buzzards have fleas and ticks and bad breath.
Turkeys are satisfied to be Thanksgiving dinner?
But the eagle has a different call!
B. ALL MY PROBLEMS SEEM SO BIG? MY PROBLEMS ARE GIANTS, MY VICTORIES LIMITED?
SEEMS THE MAJORITY WILL LOVE THE NEGATIVE PREDICTION?
C. 10 spies, verses 2 spies?
You can not name but two spies? Which two? The positive two: JOSHUA AND CALEB.
Negative attitudes give birth to NEGATIVE WORDS AND A LOT OF CRYING?
Numbers 11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt
among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
D. NEGATIVE MESSAGES WILL FALL ON NEGATIVE EARS.
The enemy? Just as we expected? We expected trouble?
Numbers 13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
E. You become what you project!
We are inferior? By saying we are inferior, we are saying our God is inferior.
Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in
their sight.
F. WE DEFINE HOW LONG WE SHALL BE IN THE DESERT?
THERE IS A TERRIBLE TRAP OF NEGATIVE EMOTIONS CAUSING DOUBT OF GOD TO RULE THE HEART AND LOSE THE PROMISE?
Numbers 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty
years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
G. YOU CAN NEVER OVER COME NEGATIVE MOUTHS AND NEGATIVE SPIRITS.
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DEFEAT THE NEGATIVE, OVERWHELM IT.
H. The people that say it can’t be done are being passed by them that are doing it!
II. ARE YOU A BUZZARD, A TURKEY, OR AN EAGLE?
Buzzards have fleas and ticks and bad breath.
Turkeys are satisfied to be Thanksgiving dinner?
But the eagle has a different call!
A. It is hard to fly like an eagle when you are grounded with turkeys?
B. I TOLD YOU: HE WAS A CHICKEN!
Years ago there was a farmer and his wife. They raised all kinds of farm animals. The farmer had about 150 chickens, and they would sell eggs to their neighbors. One day the farmer’s wife was walking to the chicken coup.
She noticed the largest chicken egg see had ever seen just out side of the coup. So she picked it up and placed the large egg under one of the sitting
hens. All of the chicken eggs hatched out but one.
That huge chicken egg was still under the old hen.
Days went by, all the biddies were running around the coup. The rooster was so proud of his new chicks.
Finally one day that big egg hatched out.
It was the ugliest chicken the farmer’s wife ever saw.
One day the farmer’s wife pointed out the big ugly chicken to the farmer.
They agreed that was the ugliest, strangest acting chicken they ever saw.
That big chicken scratched around and ran and played with the other chickens. When people came to buy eggs the farmer’s wife would tell them to look at that big ugly chicken.
One day a neighbor told the game warden, that farmer over there has this big ugly chicken, you must go see it.
The ranger pulled his jeep on to the farm and was amazed, that big ugly chicken was an eagle.
The ranger called the farmer over and said: How did you get that eagle?
The farmer said: AIN’T NO EAGLE, IT IS A BIG UGLY CHICKEN.
The ranger said: No, sir that is an eagle.
The farmer said, AIN’T NO EAGLE, WATCH HIM. He acts like a chicken, he scratches like a chicken, he is a chicken!
The ranger said: I will prove to you it is an eagle.
So the ranger grabbed the big ugly chicken and climbed to the hay loft in the barn. The ranger threw the big ugly chicken out of the barn.
