If They Only Knew

Summary: It almost sounds like it would be an unfair advantage that we have doesn't it? While it is a tremendous advantage, its not an unfair advantage, because everyone can also have it if they choose to!
If they only knew
In life there have been times, when we have all faced uphill battles
When someone has a tough task to do, the first thing that they usually want is, someone to help them with it,
And the more someone is willing to help the better, and that’s fine in the natural,
But help isn’t always available in the natural, in fact some times its hard to find, sometimes we have to look to super natural,
No I’m not talking about the physic network, I’m talking about the Supernatural abilities that exist in Gods world,
where all things are possible to him that believes!
John 17:15,16 NKJ
15. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
16. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
If you are a believer, this scripture pertains to you, you are not of this world, you are part of the supernatural world of God!
And it is possible to live in a world inside the world in which we live,
A world where we can trust God not to be affected by the things that are happening all around us
If you're Christian this morning, because of your relationship with Jesus, you have an advantage, over those who choose not to have one with Him!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
1st John 4:17
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.
We don’t have to worry about what we see going on around us in this world in which we live,
It almost sounds like it would be an unfair advantage that we have doesn't it?
While it is a tremendous advantage, its not an unfair advantage, because everyone can also have it if they choose to!
that’s what’s so mind boggling about the whole situation,
the fact that everyone can and should want to seek out and have a relationship with their creator, but so few nowadays choose too!
You see, usually no one wants to do everything on there own, except when it comes to the things of the church and God.
For better or worse, for whatever reason, some just choose to trudge thru life without Him,
Sure, when a catastrophe strikes, a 911 situation, they may call out to Him and make shallow promises,
Though serious at the time, deep down they know they will never end up being kept.
It doesn’t matter the circumstance, God wants us to come to Him, in our time of need
and is willing to accept us, just as we are and in the condition we are.
Clearly, the world has no clue as to how much God really loves all of humanity!
There are so many things He wants to do for all of us, things He is ready, willing and able to do on a moments notice,
Always ready to respond, even if its only when we need something!
Romans 10:11-13 MSG.
Scripture reassures us, “No one who trusts God like this—heart and soul—will ever regret it.” It’s exactly the same no matter what a person’s religious background may be: the same God for all of us, acting the same incredibly generous way to everyone who calls out for help. “Everyone who calls, ‘Help, God!’ gets help.” ( Rpt.)
The only thing He is waiting for, is for us to call out in faith, ask and believe Him to do them!!
Not based on what we've done or what we could ever do to deserve it, but only based upon his goodness to us!
We serve a wonderful, mercy, love and grace Giving God!
It makes you wonder, why so many people try to go through life without Him, facing one thing after another on their own?
Ps. 68:19 NKJ.
19. Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation! Selah
Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
He doesn’t just throw His children a bone now and then, He is absolutely a generous God of more than enough!
Even when were not worthy, even when were not always the same way with Him, He is always the same to us!
He's faithful to us,
Because He Loves us that much!
Ps. 103:1-5 NKJ.
1. Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2. Bless the LORD, O my soul,
