Your Condition Is Not Your Conclusion
Contributed by Paul L Brantley on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Where you are now is not the end, its just the beginning. This is not the end it’s just the start of great things.
Point III Expectation
It is said that expectation is the breeding ground for miracles. Hezekiah did not pray just to hear himself but he prayed with expectation. He did not know when God would answer but he knew that it had to before his death, as only as God can do he gives answers even before you are doing praying. I want to declare to all of you that God answering your prayer and dealing with your condition as you listen to me today. Hezekiah was not the only one that had conditions as you check the bible log you will find many other that suffered from conditions and because they had expectation their conclusion was great.
What is expectation nothing more than having faith to believe God for a testimony. For the bible declares in;
Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Overcoming conditions by the blood of the lamb and Romans 4:17b and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Now in my conclusion let’s start by saying no matter what your condition may be it is not your conclusion. Your condition may be:
• Drugs
• Alcohol
• Smoking
• Sex
• Lust
• Pain
• Abuse
God says that is not your conclusion it’s just a trick of the enemy to make you feel that you will always be bound by you condition. I am here as a witness to let you know that it is not over until God says it is over.
Remember God said through the mouth of the apostle Paul 2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; (affliction=conditions)
Moses had a condition he was a murderer:
Exodus 2:12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. “it was his condition but not his conclusion, he became the saviour to the Jews, being a instrument to deliver them out of Egypt.
Naamman had a condition he was leper:
2King 5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. It was his condition but not his conclusion, after he washed in Jordan he became clean.
Now as we close you are not at your end you are just at the beginning.
