Lessons I Would Like To Teach! Lesson?

LESSONS I WOULD LIKE TO TEACH: LISTEN?

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (This is a several part lesson)

I have a GENIE BOTTLE: ARABIAN STYLED BOTTLE IN WHICH A GENIE RESIDES? Rub it and make your wish COME TRUE? A GENIE ‘S BOTTLE IS CALLED EDEN’S BOTTLE.

LUCKY VS BLESSED: Did you hear about the man that won the FULLER BRUSH CONTEST? The bald headed man won a year supply of the best brushes, combs and hair spray on the market!

I READ A LESSON ABOUT RUNNING OUT, NOT ENOUGH… THERE WAS A PIZZA PARTY THAT DEMONSTATRTED TWO ATTITUDES…

1. GROUP ONE SAW THAT IT WAS OBVIOUS THEY WOULD RUN OUT OF PIZZA, SO THEY GRABBED 4 OR 5 PIECES OF THE PIZZA TO MAKE SURE THEY WOULD HAVE ENOUGH.

2. THE SECOND GROUP SAW THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH PIZZA FOR EVERYONE SO THEY TOOK ONE PIECE AND SOME CUT THEIR PIECE IN HALF SO ALL COULD HAVE SOME.

I READ A LESSON ABOUT A WISE MAN THAT PEOPLE TRAVELED HUNDREDS OF MILES TO SEEK HIS WISDOM…

The wise man stood up, he looked to his left side. Then to his right. He paused and looked at the crowd behind him. He quickly turned around and faced the crowd in front of him. He looked down. He looked up. HE SAT DOWN WITHOUT SAYING A WORD… The huge crowd was UTTERLY AMAZED AT THE WISE MAN’S WISDOM. They started crying and applauding his wisdom. I GUESS THE LESSON MIGHT BE SOMETIMES SILENCE IS WISDOM!

Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

A REAL LESSON TO LEARN: GOD IS SOVEREIGN! SUPREME, ULTIMATE POWER, IN CONTROL… GOD MADE ALL THINGS AND ALL THINGS ARE SUBJECT TO HIS POWER. GOD ANSWERS TO NO MAN. DON’T FEAR MAN AND WHAT HE CAN DO… FEAR GOD AND FACE ETERNITY. HUMAN REASONING CAN NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTAND GOD’S WAYS…

IS GOD LIKE A GENIE IN A BOTTLE? An Eden’s bottle? Many people place God in a BOX and only let him out when they want something? Is God kind of like a spare wheel? You get him out when you have a flat tire? FIX IT GOD! NOW!

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

THERE IS A GREAT LESSON THAT IS DIFFICULT TO LEARN: GOD IS SOVEREIGN, HE NEVER HAS TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF TO HUMANITY. THE BATTLE IS BETWEEN EMOTIONS AND FAITH… DO WE REALLY TRUST THE UNSEEN?

Psalm 135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

Psalm 135:6 (ESV) Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.

God is sovereign he does not have to explain why he is allowing this fiery furnace to be heated up?

1. PAUL WAS IN JAIL, A DIVINE DELIVERANCE CAME WITH A SUDDEN VIOLENT EARTHQUAKE THAT SHOOK THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE JAIL AND PAUL WAS FREED…

2. PETER WAS ARRESTED AND PREPARED TO DIE AFTER THE HOLIDAYS… PETER WAS IN JAIL AND THE ANGELS SET HIM FREE… the chains were loosed…

3. JOHN THE BAPTIST HAD A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD… HEAD FIRST--- WHY JOHN? WHY? Let us call John to the witness stand: JOHN, WHY? WHY…?

4. Jesus becomes Lord of your life only when you allow him to be Lord! WHEN YOU ALLOW JESUS TO BE LORD OF YOUR LIFE HE AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES GREATER…

John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

John 3:30 (MSG) This is the assigned moment for him to move into the center, while I slip off to the sidelines.

LEARN THE LESSON OF THE HORSES? CONSIDER THIS: GAS CRISIS?

THE GAS CRISIS MIGHT JUST BE THE REASON THE ARMIES IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION ARE RIDING HORSES?

Jeremiah 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Jeremiah 12:5 (ESV) “If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses? And if in a safe land you are so trusting, what will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?

THE WHITE HORSE…(crown, conqueror.) THE RED HORSE… (takes peace, war…)

THE BLACK HORSE… (famines, shortages, don’t hurt oil and wine) THE PALE HORSE… (DEATH, war, hunger)

LEARN THE LESSON: I AM NOT CRAZY… I KNOW HOW TO PRAY. LISTEN TO LESSON: THE GOOD NEWS IS THE BAD NEWS IS NOT TRUE. AGAIN THE SOVEIGIEN GOD REIGNS.
