I've Come To Interrupt The Process Series

Oprah Winfrey owns a television station called OWN and there was a popular show on this network called Iyanla Fix my life, and the whole purpose of the show was Iyanla being a family therapist would go to the homes of these troubled families who was having problems in their families or in their marriages, mistakes made that they couldn’t fix themselves and they would invite Iyanla to come help them fix their problems and give them some insight on what the problem is and the root cause of the problem and how they can go about fixing the problem, and this is why the show is called Iyanla fix my life, and the first question she would always ask was “Why am I here, why did you call me here”? And they would give a brief description of what the problem was, and then she would say, what you’ve been doing obviously hasn’t been working, if it had then I wouldn’t be here. She would then say I’ve come to interrupt the pattern” the familiar behavior, the cycle, and sometimes God has to come interrupt some things in our lives because sometimes in the process of trying to fix our own lives and trying to make it happen, we start trying to build our lives on our own, now you say Min Lamazon why would you say that? It’s right in the text, verse 6 says “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language and this is what they have started to do”, how often do we so quickly forget what God has done for us and we stop trusting Him when trouble arise, and we start trying to save ourselves outside the will of God. We start giving too much credit to our education, we start giving too much recognition to our jobs, and to our good looks, but somebody here over forty can help me testify that as the years goes by those good looks will began to fade and I don’t care how you dye it or how you tuck it, or how you tighten it, I don’t care how good it looks on the outside, you’ll still find that there is a leak in this old building and sooner or later you got to relocate to another home, because only God can keep you when your hair turns grey, only God and let you be like Moses who even in death he had the strength of a young man, vibrant and strong, I wish I had a bible reader here. Only God and interrupt the process of aging, He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength, Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: (Here it is!) But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. And when you start to depend on something other than God to supply your needs, and you start trying to do it on your own, you don’t depend on God when you run into trouble, you just swipe a credit card and pay your way out of it, when you lose things, I’ll just replace it with another one, because my good education and my good job has allowed me to become dependent on other things that I made a god out of. That’s you cutting up down here, and you building an empire for yourselves, that’s stacking bricks using the best earthly material, that’s purchasing the best earthly tools to build with, but what looks good to you stinks in God’s nostrils and in order for God to bring you back to Himself, God says I’m coming to interrupt the process, I’m coming to shake the very foundation of your house and every safety brick you stack God said I’m going to tear it down, you think you build a wall around your good health, you think you got the perfect family, you think that six figure job got you covered, you think you got the perfect spouse? God said I’m coming for everything you build outside of me. And this is what they have started to do. And in order for God to finish His original plan that was established in the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve messed up, He had to interrupt what He knew would become a pattern, because sin never stays a single onetime thing, sin is contagious and it spreads fast, sin is the apple that Adam and Eve ate, that beautiful apple with a rotten core

This Tower of Babel involves the people of Babel attempting to build a tower that will reach to heaven. It is one of the saddest and most significant stories in the Bible. It is sad because it reveals the widespread rebellion in the human heart, how far the human heart will move away from God. It’s significant because it shows how far we are willing to go from the presence of God
