How God Makes A Way When There Seems To Be No Way - Phil. 2:13,14

People who try to find the way out of their problems alone are going to lack some vital things that are necessary for completion in Christ. No wonder there are so many people who fail to experience the full benefits of God’s way because they are unwilling to cooperate with the whole range of God’s spiritually gifted people.

Conclusion: Ask the Lord to help you get more well rounded by working in cooperation with the full range of spiritual gifts in the body of Christ.

10. God will make a way when there seems to be no way when we rely on the Spirit to fight our battles for us. Zech 4:6 says, “Not by power or by might but by My Spirit says the Lord.” Stop trying to work your own way out of your problems in your own strength. Allow the Lord’s Spirit to infuse you with His power, love and self-discipline. (2 Tim. 1:7) Too many people fail to find a way out of their difficulties because they prematurely give in to discouragement, frustration or fear.

Wait on the Lord and He will strengthen your heart. The Lord is strong and might to deliver you from any problem you are facing with the power of His Spirit. He is able to deliver you if you will allow the Spirit to fight the battles for you.

11. God will make a way when there seems to be no way when we ask Him to help us to wisely choose the battles that are worth fighting. There are many battles that are just not worth fighting. Ask the Lord to help you to know what is essential and what is non-essential. There are many times in traffic when it is best to just let the angry driver who is in a hurry to pass on by. Stop trying to fight every little challenge that comes your way. You are wasting valuable energy on things that do not ultimately matter. He will give you the wisdom to know the best ways to go if you will only ask Him. (James 1:5) James wrote,

“If any of you lack wisdom let Him ask of God who gives to all men and it will be given to you.” Trust the Lord to supply you with the knowledge, wisdom and insight to walk in His ways regarding your relationships, activities and ministries. He will give you supernatural wisdom that shows others how you are divinely inspired to evidence wisdom from above which is considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Reject the earthly kind of wisdom that is unspiritual, envious, selfishly ambitious and boastful. (James 3:13-17)

Application: Ask the Lord to help you to put away the Machiavellian kind of thinking that the ends justify the means and trust the Lord’s wisdom to guide you in every good way.

Illustration;Advice from Dr. Mitchell’s life: Someone in his congregation pointed out several faults in him and his preaching. Instead of retaliating, or trying to defend himself, he looked at the woman and said, "If what you say is true, would you mind praying for me?"
