What Do You Want?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WE MUST DO MORE THAN BELIEVE IN DIVINE DELIVERANCE,

WE MUST LEARN HOW TO ACCEPT GOD'S DELIVERANCE...

2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the

unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

WE HAVE STUDIED THE CORRELATION OR PROPORTIONAL DELIVERANCE...

THE BIGGER THE PROBLEMS THE BIGGER THE DELIVERANCE...

GOD OFTEN REQUIRES MAN TO MAKE AN EFFORT FOR COMPLETE DELIVERANCE TO COME.

A. OUR GOAL MUST BE TO GET THE HAND OF THE LORD TO BE UPON US...

We need more than God with us... WE NEED TO BE WITH GOD...

THE HAND OF THE LORD... FORMULA FOR SUCCESS...

2 Kings 3:15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of

the Lord came upon him.

B. THE VALLEY HAD TO BE FULL OF DITCHES... holding all the limits will alllow,abundant, maxium

2 Kings 3:16 And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.

C. THE PROBLEMS WERE FULL...

1. Sin abounded in the camp

2. Lack of honoring God's Word, little respect for God's man

3. The was a powerful enemy... the Moabites.

4. There was NO WATER...

D. PROBLEMS ARE NOTHING TO GOD...

When it is over our heads, it is under His Feet...

2 Kings 3:18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord: he will deliver the Moabites also into

your hand.

WE MUST COME TO ANSWER A SPIRITUAL QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU WANT?

DO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT A WHITE CANE MEANS?

BLIND PEOPLE IN JESUS DAY WORE GARMENT THAT IDENTIFIED THEM AS BLIND...

THIS BLIND MAN THREW OFF HIS COAT WHILE HE WAS STILL BLIND...

A. Begging was a way of life.

B. When I was a young man I visited with my Pastor. A man was very sick and off work.

The man was off work two days, he would not be able to draw sick pay until he was off 2 weeks.

My Pastor said to me, there is no reason in praying for healing, he does not want to be healed for

two weeks.

C. I have KNOWN PEOPLE THAT DID NOT WANT TO BE HEALED, IT WOULD MESS UP

THEIR CHECK?

D. JESUS WANTS TO KNOW: WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Jesus made the blind man come to Him...

Mark 10:49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man,

saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

[51] And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man

said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

[52] And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received

his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

E. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM JESUS TODAY?

DO WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ABLE TO DO THIS?

ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH...

Matthew 9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son

of David, have mercy on us.

28] And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe

ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

[29] Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

OFTEN JESUS ASK PEOPLE TO DO SOMETHING TO START THE PROCESS OF A MIRACLE...

1. THE TAXES ARE DUE? Go fishing???

PAY MY PART... then yours...

2. WE HAVE FISHED ALL NIGHT AND TAKEN NOTHING...

Nevertheless at your WORD...

3. THE MAN LAY PARALYZED...

Take up your bed and walk, GO HOME...

4. AT THE WEDDING THEY RAN OUT OF WINE AND THE GOVERNOR WAS THERE...

The water pots were empty... 150 to 180 gallons of water... FULL TO THE BRIM...

5. THE BLIND MAN HAD TO WALK TO THE POOL OF SILOAM...

Why not bring the water to him?

6. LARAZUS WAS DEAD... You have to remove the stone...

CONCLUSION:

I believe in Divine Deliverance. But I realize while God has the BIG PART OF DELIVERANCE...

We as believers must accept GOD MAY REQUIRE A TOKEN OF MENTAL, PHYSICAL,

OR EMOTIONAL EXERTION...

We have to put forth a determined attempt with our effort to release GOD'S PLAN.
