TOPIC :WHO'S HAND IS YOUR SITATION IN
Luke 23:46 (KJV)
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
(WHO`S HANDS IS YOUR SITUATION IN )
WE LIVE IN A DAY AND TIME WHERE THE SITUATIONS OF LIFE HAS AWAY OF PUTTING US INTO SOME DIFFICULT SITUATIONS
SOME SITUATIONS THAT SEEMS LIKE NO MATTER WHAT WE DO OR HOW HARD WE TRY TO WORK IT OUT
OUR SITUATIONS LOOKS LIKE THERE NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER
SOME YOU KNOW WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
SITUATIONS WITH OUR FINANCES
OUR HOMES
OUR JOBS
OUR CHILDREN
OUR HEALTH
SITUATIONS THAT HAVE LED US ALL TO SAY
IF IT`S NOT ONE THING IT`S ANOTHER
AND IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD
SOME SITUATIONS WILL HAVE YOU WANTING TO THROW IN THE TOWEL AND QUIT
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON`T NEVER HAVE ANY SITUATION AIN`T MUCH I CAN SAY TO YOU BUT KEEP LIVING
BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN
FAITHFUL BUT FRUSTATED
SAVED SANTIFIED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST
BUT YOU`RE STILL STRUGGLING
VICTORS BUT YOU FEEL LIKE THE VICTIM
WORSHIPPERS BUT YOU`RE WEARY
A PRAISER WHO EXPERIENCE PEOPLE JUDGING YOU IN JANUARY
FRUSTRATED IN FEBURARY
MAD IN MARCH
AGGRAVATED IN APRIL
AND STILL GOT TO DEAL WITH SOME MESSY FOLKS IN MAY
THAT WHY YOU OUGHT LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR LIKE THEY OWE YOU 20 DOLLARS AND WON`T PAY YOU
AND ASK THEM (WHO`S HAND IS YOUR SITUATION IN )
BECAUSE IN THE TEXT BEFORE US
THE REDEEMER OF MANKIND
AWAY OUT OF NO WAY
OUR BRIDGE THAT LEANS OVER OUR TROUBLE WATER
A LIGHT THAT SHINES BRIGHT IN OUR DARK SITUATIONS
TEACHES US -- THAT WITH GOD WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH OUR SITUATIONS
IN OTHER WORDS
REGARDLESS HOW DARK AND DINGY YOUR SITUATION MAY LOOK TO YOU
IS JUST RIGHT FOR GOD
BECAUSE IN THE TEXT
JESUS SHOWS US THE (IN) -(THROUGHS) AND (OUT) OF OUR SITUATIONS
AND AS WELL WHO`S HANDS THAT OUR SITUATIONS SHOULD BE IN
IN OTHER WORDS THE TEXT IS TAILORED TO TEACH US 3 THINGS
************************************
WELL THE 1ST THING THE TEXT IS TAILORED TO TEACH US THAT THERE MUST BE A SACRIFICE
AND THERE CAN`T BE NO SACRIFICE WITHOUT SURRENDERING
FOR THE TEXT LET`S US KNOW THAT JESUS DID DIE
IN OTHER WORDS
JESUS WAS NOT MURDERED
JESUS WAS NOT KILLED
BUT JESUS DIED
IN OTHER WORDS
IN ORDER FOR US TO GET OUT SOME STUFF WE HAVE TO SURRENDER
BECAUSE OUR STRENGHT IS NOT IN OUR FIGHTING
BUT OUR STRENGHT IS IN OUR SURRENDERING
BECAUSE IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD
JESUS WAS STONG ENOUGH TO FIGHT THE FIGHT
WHEN THEY ARRESTED HIM IN GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE
HE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO FIGHT
WHEN THE LEAD HIM FROM JUDGEMENT HALL TO JUDGEMENT HALL
HE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO FIGHT
WHEN THEY NAIL HIM TO THE CROSS HE COULD HAVE COME DOWN
BUT HE STAYED THERE TO BECOME A SACRIFICE FOR YOU AND ME
AND IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HE DID`NT SURRENDER TO THE ENEMY
BUT HE SURRENDERED TO THE WILL OF GOD
IN OTHER WORDS IF HE WOULD NOT HAVE SURRENDERED ON FRIDAY
HE COULD`NT HAVE GOTTEN UP EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND STEP OUT ON RESURRECTION GROUND AND DECLARED THAT ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS IN HIS HANDS
AND HE TEACHES US
THAT OUR RESURRECTION FROM OUR SITUATIONS DEPENDS OUR SURRENDERING TO GOD`S WILL IN OUR SITUATIONS
NOTICE --NOTICE --NOTICE
WHAT THE TEXT SAYS
HE GAVE UP THE GHOST
THEY DID`NT TAKE HIS GHOST
IN OTHER WORDS HE DID`NT SURRENDER
TO PILATE OR HEROD
HE DID`NT SURRENDER TO THE ROMAN SOLDIERS ~SANHEDRIN COUNCIL OR TO THE ENEMY
BUT HE SURRENDERED TO DOING HIS FATHER WILL
***********************
WELL NOT ONLY DID HE MAKE A SACRIFICE AND SURRENDER
BUT THE TEXT ALSO TEACHES US THE ONE HE SURRENDERED TO GAVE HIM STORAGE
VERSE 52 IN THE TEXT REVEALS THAT HE WAS BURIED IN A BORROWED TOMB
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS
THE TOMB WAS NOT A ENDING PLACE
BUT THE TOMB WAS A HOLDING PLACE
CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
MANY OF US HAVE HAD OR STILL HAVE A STORAGE UNIT
AND THE STORAGE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR THINGS YOU WANT TO THROW AWAY OR DISREGARD
BUT A STORAGE UNIT IS FOR STUFF YOU WANT TO HOLD ON TO
SO WHEN YOU NEED IT YOU CAN GO GET IT
ALL I`M TRYING TO TELL YOU
THE GRAVE WAS`NT STOPPING JESUS -IT WAS JUST HOLDING JESUS
IN OTHER WORDS
GOD USED JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA AND NICODEMUS TO PUT HIM IN STORAGE ON FRIDAY SO HE COULD USE HIM EARLY SUNDAY MORNING
AND IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD USES OUR SITUATIONS TO HOLD US AND NOT HURT US
SO HE CAN PUT IN US WHAT HE WANT TO COME OUT OF US
ALL I`M TRYING TO TELL YOU IS THAT YOUR SITUATION IS NOT A HINDERANCE OR HANDICAP
BUT GOD IS USING YOUR SITUATION AS STORAGE
TO DEVELOP YOU SO HE CAN USE YOU FOR HIS GLORY
SO WHEN YOU GET PRAISE THE LORD AVENUE
YOU WILL GIVE HIM THE PRAISE HE REALLY DESERVES
SO WHEN YOU GET ON HALLELUJAH HIGHWAY
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL SOMEBODY
CAN`T NO BOBODY DO ME LIKE JESUS
(I WONDER IF ANYBODY HERE GOT
A CAN`T NOBODY DO ME LIKE JESUS STORY
******************************
WELL NOT ONLY DID JESUS MAKE A SACRIFICE AND SURRENDER
NOT ONLY DID GOD USE JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA TO PUT HIM IN STORAGE
BUT THE 24TH CHAPTER OF LUKE VERSE 1 LETS US KNOW JESUS HAD SUCESS
YOU SEE THE 23RD CHAPTER OF LUKE DECLARED THAT HE DIED AND WAS BURIED
BUT THE 24TH CHAPTER OF LUKE DECLARED THAT HE GOT UP EARLY SUNDAY MORNING STEP OUT ON RESURRECTION GROUND WITH ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IN HIS HANDS
AND HE DID`NT GET UP ON HIS OWN
BUT GOD GOT HIM UP
AND IF WE ARE GOING TO RESSURECT FROM THE SITUATIONS OF LIFE
WE CAN`T DO IT ON OUR OWN
BUT WE NEED SOME DIVINE ASSITANCE
YOU SEE JESUS DID`NT NEED ASSITANCE WITH LIFE
BECAUSE HE IS THE WAY TRUTH AND LIFE
HE DID`NT NEED ASSITANCE WITH RESURRECTING
BECAUSE HE IS OUR RESURECTER
BUT THE TOMB HAD BLOCKAGE
AND GOD DISPATCH AND ANGEL TO THE TOMB
AND THE ANGEL TURN THE STONE INTO A ROCK AND ROLL IT AWAY
AND THATS A WORD FOR SOMEBODY HERE THIS MORNING /EVENING
WHO IS DEALING WITH SOME BLOCKAGE IN YOUR SITUATION
BUT I STOP BY ON MY WAY TO HEAVEN TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR SITUATIONS IN THE RIGHT HANDS
GOD WILL REMOVE THE BLOCKAGE OUT OF YOUR WAY
IN OTHER WORDS YOU DON`T HAVE TO CRY OVER IT
NEITHER DO YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT
BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHOSE HANDS YOU PUT IT IN
BUT WHEN YOU PUT IN THE HANDS OF THE ONE WHO STEP OUT ON NOTHING TOOK NOTHING AND MADE SOMETHING AND TOOK SOMETHING AND MADE EVERYTHING
THE ONE WHO PAINTED THE SKY BLUE WITHOUT USING A STEP LADDER
THE ONE WHO TOOK SILICONE AND OXYGEN AND MADE DIRT
TOOK DIRT AND MADE DUST
TOOK DUST AND MADE MAN
TOOK MAN AND MADE WOMAN
AND TOLD THEM TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY
TOOK ANGIOSPERM AND MADE A SEED
TOOK A SEED AND MADE A SPROUT
TOOK A SPROUT AND MADE A BUSH
TOOK A BUSH AND MADE A TREE
TOOK THE TREE AND MADE WOOD
TOOK THE WOOD AND MADE AND ALTER
SENT HIS SON DOWN THRU 42 GENERATIONS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE SALVATION
