Based Out of Ezekiel 37:1-6
What you're going through may be your situation but not your destination
God is a deliverer - he brings us out, over, and through our trials and tribulations
Sometimes God sits us down - how he disciplines us
He wants us to know that SIN does have consequences
SIN will hurt you and make you hurt yourself
Ex. Alcohol paralyzes human thought
The impact of whatever you are going through increases the longer you go through it
In order to develop you God has to discipline you
As a child of God, nothing in your life is accidental, incidental, or coincidental it's providential
God promises to restore, resurrect, and redeem us
Where you are doesn't determine where you are going
If you've been called and annointed, sometimes God will lead you into a mess to set you up for a miracle
Sometimes when we think we are lost we are actually being lead (Let God Lead You)
If there was never a test, you wouldn't have a testimony
God orders our steps
Permits us to stumble and
Keeps us from falling
GPS (Global Positioning System vs. Godly Positioning System)
Sometimes God works the same way as a GPS
Sometimes when God is leading you, it may be unfamiliar to you, but trust that he is getting you there quickly, safely, and efficiently (the best way possible)
We need to pray that God will help us to see our situation clearly so we will not be misled
We need to have a clear vision of who we're in a relationship with
It takes more than money to give you meaning
It takes more than a job to give you joy
Muhammad Ali said this:
"The title is what they took from me, but a champion is who I am"
Don't talk about what you see, say what God says
