God in the Matter

God in the matter not cling today to a negative situation that may sneak stealing vitality, energy, creativity and enthusiasm to live. As the saying goes: Learn to Release and let God take care of it.

Confident that the Lord will guide you to wise counsel and new opportunities has in store for you.

Habakkuk 3: 17-19 "Though the fig tree should not blossom,

nor fruit be on the vines; although the lack of the olive,

and the fields yield no food; although missing sheep pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The Lord GOD [t] is my strength;

The first thing to do is stop and think, without emotionally reacting to the problem. Do not let panic take hold of you or some terrible fear come over you. Stop and think. According to what must you think?

Second, remember the basic things you know about God and not try to solve the problem immediately. Get away from the problem and begin to approach God. Return to what you know about him and his character, as he has been revealed to you in the revelation and through the experience that you have acquired.

That is the third step then put what you know about the character of God and apply it to the problem .. And finally, if you have not found an answer, leave the rest in faith for God to solve it and ask him to show . That's the way to do it.

Habakkuk 1:12 Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We will not die.

It is shown by these words to the prophet that there are only two possible perspectives on life. We can only deal with life by two different kinds of attitudes. Either the face by faith, depending on God, or faced with an attitude of disbelief, depending on our own ability to reason everything. These are the two fundamental attitudes and are the only two possible attitudes.

Notice how he begins chapter 2:

Habakkuk 2: 1 I will be on my watch, and the strength I'll;

I watch to see what He tells me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved [a].

This is the difference between the man of faith and a man who lives according to his reason. One of the saddest things that I find is the number of Christians who are being trapped by the idea of ​​living in accordance with reason and intelligence of human rational processes,

"God instruct the matter, does not mean being passive, or accommodated in comfort zone; means: trust the promises and make the fight never faint ,, Jesus will do the rest "

Have you found that? That despite the problems remain and the pressure continues to be there, you can produce a strengthening of the inner man that makes the heart rejoice and feel cheerful in the face of difficulties and that's what Habakkuk discovered. "The Lord says," is my strength. And that's the truth of the New Testament. That's a desperate way of trying to get rid of the problem, but God has ordained that the problems continue. "In the world ye shall have tribulation Jesus said," but take courage, I have overcome the world! (John 16:33)

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, that is, to those who are called according to his purpose.

Recovering

Recovering The Lost 2 Kings 13: 14-21 20 And Elisha died and was buried. And the bands of Moabites used to invade the land in the spring [l] each year. 21 And when they were burying a man, behold, they saw a marauding band and cast the man into the grave of Elisha.

Attack to families how to recover the lost territory to the enemy. God is a God of restoration and God is a God of restoration and sometimes you do not realize, but is losing territory to the enemy, there are several strategies that the devil is deceiving the families, which affects the heart, which affects the within the home

 

THE DIVISION IN THE FAMILY Brothers Today the devil is devastating households as just bringing division bringing devastating lack of companionship lack of common vision even in the same family separate worlds women live on the one hand, everyone lives in his world, They begin to separate, to distance the family feel about each other and the devil is destroying the homes undoubtedly

 

Going from regret now notice 14 down to him Joash king of Israel, and wept over him, said: !! My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen! So the first principle is to mourn, but we should pass from a moment of regret or lament to confession, notice that the king began to mourn and cry, cry and cry and suddenly stop, stop mourn and began to declare what God was about to do, what God would do.

 

 

WE NEED HAND OF GOD Note EL15 and Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. Took him bow and arrows.

16 then said to the king of Israel, Put your hand on the bow. And he put his hand on the bow. Then Elisha put his hands on the king's hands, that the prophet, in the hands of the king was symbolizing or was saying that every victory that will come in your life, it is because God's hand God's presence must shake what this undertaking, which is telling the prophet king is preparing your bow and arrow because you'll fight WE NEED HAND OF GOD

  We need God's hand in our projects, the presence of God shake us what we do not do anything until you are sure that God is in the business

 

POIN EAST and said, Open the window to the east. Throws: And when he opened it, Elisha said. And pulling he said, The arrow of salvation of the Lord and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till consuming.

Now this old man then told anointed to the bone, How many old ladies want to get up and be anointed to the bone? Amen.

 He said he now opens the window and points east and why not told the West? told the East, did not tell the West, do you know why? Because in the east, ie in the east is where they came from oppression and defeats in fact said pointing east and at that place where this had been the source of sadness for the king because in that place there was his last defeat, the king had suffered its greatest defeat and then the prophet said pointing east and instead of your great defeat will come your great victory, points to this is where you were embarrassed where was your moral, spiritual, mental defeat in other words the Lord is saying is not the time of closing and whine about your defeat and attacks the prophet told the king's time to get up to fight, opened the window and points east of where you suffered great defeat your will your great victory. No matter the situation you are in, the Lord says, still beating, still declaring hit and as God will begin to mobilize and fight for you, believe it, declare it

 

Ebenezer

Ebenezer Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, till here the Lord helped us 1 Samuel 7:12

Ebenezer means "stone of help," or "till here the Lord help us." If we want blessings, the Baals and Ashtaroth, idols, must be torn down (V4). Jesus Christ must be Lord of all or not Lord at all will. That people confessed their sin (v6). They feel the need to pray and ask Samuel to intercede (v8). Samuel placed the memorial stone between Mizpah and Shen (v12). Mizpah is "Atalaya" means prayer and Sen's "Tooth" means biting the enemy. So Samuel got in the "watchman" of prayer and bit the enemy. It is good to memory stones in our lives (Psalm 103: 1-3).

I. YESTERDAY: HAS HELPED US

Helped, it resembles a hand pointing us last. It was several years, however, "has helped us to." In wealth, poverty, health or sickness, "helped" Remember Psalm 40: 1-3, helped by his escort "the goodness and mercy" (Psalm 23: 6)

II. TODAY: HERE TO HELP.

HERE This means today, speaks of this.

1. Material: "Lord give us our daily bread". Not yesterday or tomorrow. He has blessed us here, today we have his faithful protection.

2. Morally: we’re surrounded by love and fond affections. His arm is not shortened to bless TODAY. (Lamentations. 3: 22-23).

3. In the spiritual: His Word today is as powerful as it was yesterday. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is our God TODAY. 2 Timothy 2:12 "For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to keep what I have [a] to [b] that day. "

III. TOMORROW. WILL BE HERE TO HELP.

Lifting certain sign and write "here" is also future. It indicates that failed even to the end. There is still a way to go and can be other trials, joys, temptations, successes and prayers, diseases, pains, deaths, yet far we help.

REMEMBER: There is a glorious awakening in the likeness of Jesus. There thrones, harps, singing, white dresses and glorious face of Jesus. He who loves you and help you here, will help to forever. "He who began a good work in you will complete it" (Philippians 1: 6.)
