Trust The Plan? Level Of Fear Vs. Level Of Faith.

TRUST THE PLAN? LEVEL OF FEAR VS YOUR LEVEL OF FAITH…

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (This is a 2 part lesson.)

The world is like a NURSERY SCHOOL where hundreds of perpetual babies are trying to teach others about WHO and WHAT GOD is without knowing God. They teach pleasure and happiness is a side effect of materialism and education.

*(Materialism: a tendency to consider material possession and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values.)

BEWARE THERE IS A DECEIVING SPIRIT WALKING IN THE WORLD TODAY…BEWARE THERE GROWS AN ATTITUDE THAT IS DANGEROUS. HOW EASY IS IT TO BELIEVE A LIE AND BE DAMNED…

I have heard from many sources that EVIL HAS PREVAILED… This is a lie of hopeless people leaning on the flesh…

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Seems our society and many churches have purchased the lie that good is evil and evil is good. We have sold out

like LOT’S WIFE for a look back. We are redefining God’s word to buy pleasure as acceptable. WE ARE ALLOWING FEAR AND ANXIETY TO BE A SPIRITUAL OASIS. We are allowing a deceiving spirit to get us to refuse to trust that God is in control. We seem to enjoy walking in the flesh and bypass FAITH IN GOD’S WORD. We are buying into CNN, FOX, Headline News, ABC and MSNBC INSTEAD OF FAITH. This deceiving sell out says I can’t understand this so I think God has lost control.

DO WE REALIZE OUR EYES AND EARS CAN LIE TO US? OUR EMOTIONS CAN BE LIKE A YOYO? OUR HEARTS CAN BE EASILY DECEIVED.

WE CAN ALLOW A MISINTERPRETATION OF THE SIGNS OF THE TIME AND JUMPING TO INVALID CONCLUSIONS… IT IS AN EASY PROCESS WHEN WE TRY TO BYPASS FAITH… This distortion is rampant and enlarges itself to great fear, worry and WHERE IS GOD? Has God lost control? Is our faith and trust in God?

WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO FIX THE DONKEY OR THE ELEPHANT? You are not a donkey! You are not an elephant. You are a sheep. Sheep know the voice of the SHEPHERD… TRUST THE SHEPHERD? OR TRUST THE SHEPHERD!

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

LET GOD ARISE… CAN WE TRUST GOD AND HIS PLAN? WHERE SHALL WE INVEST OUR TRUST? YOU CANNOT PLEASE GOD WITHOUT FAITH… FEAR AND FAITH CAN NOT COEXIST TOGETHER…

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

GOD TELLS HIS PEOPLE OVER AND OVER: FEAR NOT… The word fear is mentioned 385 times in the Bible. 58 times angels told humans: FEAR NOT ---trust God, look up… fear produces fear… faith kills fear.

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE DAD…? WHAT’S GOING ON? WHERE IS THE LAMB?

WHAT’S GOING ON WHEN A TEENAGE BOY WALKS THREE DAYS UP A MOUNTAIN WITH HIS DAD?

Abraham was not leaning to his own understanding… Come meet an old man climbing a mountain. This old man is walking by faith not by his own understanding. I AM SURE ISAAC CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON? MY FATHER? Abraham declares: SON, GOD WILL PROVIDE A LAMB…

Genesis 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

God did not mess up! God had a plan… before they left their home.

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? I HAVE A SPECIAL COAT… THE ORIGINAL MLK “I HAVE A DREAM.” MY FATHER AND MY BROTHERS WILL BOW DOWN TO ME. NOW THE DREAM FADES… JOSEPH IS LAYING IN A DARK PIT OF HOPELESSNESS… Where is your confidence boy? I thought you had a dream?

Genesis 37:18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

Joseph’s big braggart mouth helped him get in this pit? Joseph did not understand in his mind WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? His brothers pull him up and Joseph climbs out of the pit and he knows God has heard his cry? Now what’s going on? His brothers sold him to an Egyptian slave train? This can’t be God? Come on God? What’s going on? God is this your plan? What’s going on? There is the auction block for slaves? The highest bidder was POTIPHAR? Now God what are you doing? WHAT’S GOING ON? I am innocent? Jail? Come on, how does the moon look through the bars of a jail house? God, God where are you? EVIL IS PREVAILING? NO, God’s plan will be revealed… JOSEPH WAS 17 …
