"Where Could I Go, But To The Lord!"

Where could I GO, but to The LORD!!

Even though most of the time in our lives things run smoothly and they go great for us,

there are occasionally going to be obstacles that try to bring us down,

You see, they come in a lot of different shapes and sizes, the devil doesn’t care what it takes to bring you down, just as long as you come down.

Sometimes I think he was the one who coined the phrase, “making mountains” out of molehills,

Because unlike God, he doesn’t know what your future holds, he only has the past to torment us with.

He’s been doing it that way, you know his usual tactics, condemning people, bringing up the past and scaring people for well lets say, ever since he thought he was Gods equal and got booted from heaven.

Not everyone is used to his tactics, some people don’t realize he’s the one that’s doing it to them.

he’s the one doing things, but somehow when things start to go wrong, God always gets the blame no matter what it is.

Lets get one thing straight this morning once and for all.

TBS. in James 1:16-17 NKJ

16. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

If what’s going on in your life, ain’t good and perfect, brother it ain’t from God.

God’s not out to punish you, He loves you!! His yoke is easy, His burden is light.

If Jesus is the Lord of your life and your Savior, God doesn’t see your mistakes, Jesus Blood sacrifice on the cross already covered them all!

He sees you as righteous, because Jesus is righteous. And you have what Jesus has, so when He sees you, He doesn’t your mistakes (praise God)!!

Just because the accuser wants you to think, your always going to have problems, doesn’t mean you have to believe him or go there!

When You're Between a Rock and a Hard Place, realize that Jesus is the rock that’s stronger than any hard place.

Jesus is the Rock that will roll your blues away! Amen!

Isaiah 43:1-4 MSG.

1-4. But now, God's Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,

the One who got you started, Israel:

"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.

I've called your name. You're mine.

When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.

When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.

When you're between a rock and a hard place, it won't be a dead end—

Because I am God, your personal God,

The Holy of Israel, your Savior.

I paid a huge price for you:

all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!

That's how much you mean to me!

That's how much I love you!

I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.

WOW!, think about that, Were adopted sons and daughters of the Great God Almighty Himself, He’s talking about us, church,

I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.

That’s how much God loves us this morning, that He would be willing to do that just for you, what an amazing God we serve!!

With a love like that, coming from the father above, you’d think nothing would ever be able to get to God’s Children.

Some of the things that get thrown your way are petty and trivial, while others sometimes, seem to much to bare.

All of the problems are a distraction to take your focus off the promise of the love of God,

And none of them are able to withstand the love of God.

TBS. (the bible says) the Love of God cast out every fear!

Even the strongest men and women of God, sometimes are hit with issues that are thrown at them.

TBS. Here is what you should do on a daily basis.

Eph. 6:11-13 NKJ

11. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Put on the whole armor of God, because your not going to be able to get it done without Him.

Try as you may to do it on your own, sooner or later you come to the realization, it just can’t be done!
