(Who`s Hands Is Your Situation In )

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
