Grace and peace from God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Word of the Lord came to me saying, You don’t look like the storm you just came out of.
All through Bible history, we see those who conquered, when it looked as if they failed.
We see Adam and Eve, through disobedience to the Father Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.
Abel's offering was accepted while Cain's was rejected.
Though Cain's, offering was rejected there is no reason given as to why.
The next action done by Cain was killing His Brother Abel. God, already knew Cain’s heart.
Cain’s heart was corrupted and because of his heart God could not accept his offering the heart of the one offering was faithless and ruthless.
How often , God desires to change our heart. “Are we not like Cain”full of jealousy.
Angry, rebellious of the blessings God bestow on our brothers or sister.
Moses obedience to God leads to Pharaoh hatred for Moses. Moses strikes the rock instead of speaking to it.
God tells Moses that he will no longer be permitted to bring the people into the Promised Land.
Is not heaven our promise land. Will our disobedience stop us from reaching it.
We accept Jesus in our flesh but not in our heart. If so how many of us really are dedicated to the transparency of the cross.
Abraham who lies, Genius 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
Dispike Abraham lie, God still give him favor. God looks at the heart, God loved Abraham and Bless him.
Genesis 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Elijah who ran from Jezebel who was fearful. God does not give us a Spirit of fear.
Yet still Elijah was afraid , when he got her message from Jezebel, and he ran to the town of Beersheba in Judah.
Ruth and Naomi. Who lost everything they had just as Job lost and gain everything in return.
There are many who conquered, they emerge was being defeated to being undefeated , still with many errors and challenges ahead of them.
They never look back on the past. But through their storm they came out undefeated.
Obedience is the practical acceptance of the authority and will of God.
It includes both submitting to Him and then expressing that submission out actions.
Our words and thoughts have a lot to do with how God see’s us. And how Gid respond to us.
To be obedient is to be in agreement with God. To be in agreement with God is to be in a position of power in Christ.
Is there something in your life your holding on to, anger resentment. Whatever it is it’s time to let it go.
Disobedience is caused by rebellion and distrust of God.
To be disobedient is to yield to self-will instead of surrendering to God and desiring His will in all things.
Some of us been through the fury furnace of affliction just likev Shadrsch, Meshach and Abednego, three Hebrew men.
There are gone to be people coming against you lying making accusations against us.
But resist him, stay true to God by being firm in your faith.
Resist the devil and he will flee, knowing the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establishe you.
Wait on the Lord, be of good cheer. And He will comfort you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
If you therefore you can stand when the storms and the raging winds blows just hold on.
When that door of affliction comes, one after another hold on. Just when you think you had enough hold on.
Tell your neighbor you don’t look like the storm your coming out of.
Once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive.
“Praise your way through the storm”.
After the storm one after another tell your neighbor, Your still standing.
It’s times when the storms comes it will littererly knocks you off your feet.
But your still standing.
Even in our disobedience, God will lovingly use all the trials of our lives to help us see Jesus and trust Him more.
“Tell your neighbor,” you don’t look like the storm you came out of.
How many people in your house know that those quite storms cause the worst damage, its those quite storms that make a life sustaining impact.
It’s those quite storms that bring you closer to God.
To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king" (I Samuel 15:22-23).
"If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land" (Isaiah 1:19).
If you love me, you will obey what I command. Whoever has my commands, and obeys them he is the one who loves me.
He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him" (John 14:15, John 14:21).
Why do you call me, "Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46) Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says" (James 1:22).
It’s those quite storms that sneak behind you and wipe away the tears from your eyes. It’s those quite storms that will catch you by surprise.
It’s those quite storms that beings you to that state of rest. It’s those quite storms moving you out of the devils face into God’s face.
Come on, and touch three people” and say, you don’t look like the storm you just came out of
Have you ever had a quite storm when all hell breaks loose in your household and the next thing you know everything is peaceful .
Our soul gets agitated by passions that are fleshly devolved over time.
And any thing that rooted for a long period of time is hard to get rid of. It will start growing weeds.
Once the weeds devolved on them it’s hard to pull off.
It’s those quite storms that will help you face life challenges.
It’s those quite storms that brings you to repentance. It’s those quite storms that brings you to surrendering all to Jesus.
It’s peace at the end of a quit storms that gives you peace that surpasses all understanding.
There is no turbulence or attitude adjustments.
There no one given in offense not controversy, there is a stillness a state of tranquility; freedom.
John 8:36 King James If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
You don’t look like the storm you came out of,
The reason why you don’t look like the storm you came out of; is because of the Lord , who controls the storm, the wind and rain.
If you make Jesus the pilot of your life your storm will always end in peace.
Cast your cares on God. Who turns your sorrows into joy.
God will turn your sickness into healing. Turns sadness into laughter.
When you cast your cares on God you don’t look like what you came out of.
Cast your children to God, Cast your burdens to the Lord. Cast your marriage, cast that job, cast your household, everything that is surrounding you cast it to the one who throws the net. Who is the fisher of men.
You don’t look like the storm you came out of,
.
1 Peter 5:6-7. Casting our cares or burdens on Him is presented by humbling ourselves under the sovereign purposes and work of God.
God takes your cares turn them around, place your feet on solid ground.
He is the only care given, that brings you back whole. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.
God will always give us people to direct to Jesus Christ.
It is better to learn by the experience of others than to experience what you learn.
There were many that never came out of their experience.
Thank God for teachers, God desire, is for you”to learn from the experience, of others.
God knows how much you can bare.
The concept that God will not put more on us than we can bare, does have biblical support.
As long as one keeps in mind the needed balance, between what God sovereignly allows according to His wisdom.
You don’t look like the storm you came out of, Each one of their victories were overcome by the storm and wind.
You must have faith in God and put total praise in God, Cast your cares on God because He cares for you.
He promises to not allow us to be shaken by the things in the world.
God is our “burden bearer.
You don’t look like the storm you came out of, we cannot judge things by the way things look.
Tell your neighbor, though He May slay me, I will come forth as gold.
I may not look like victory because I look like I won the battle but I won the war. I don’t look like what I been through.Tell your neighbor I am coming out.
You don’t look like the storm you came out of, There has been many tearful nights of being rejected by people you love.
You been trial and tested, you been harress, by the very people we call saints.
You don’t look like the storm you came out of,
People playing games as if you fid’nt see that one coming Being tested and purposely accruse by the same people who claim you trust.
Guard your heart the same lips that praise you are the same lips that will curse you.
Though it seems as if the storms won’t stop coming. Although you see me struggling I still have victory. I don’t look like, what I came out of.
If I looked like what I came out of you would not want anything to do with me.
Just coming out of the fire into s storm. It seem like I can’t get out of this thing.
The reason why I don’t look like what I came out of. I was under attack the devil thought I was gone to lose my mind one thing after anoth when is gone to stop.
I don’t look like the storm I came out of.
Been rejected by people. Thought loved me. There trying to set me up.
Playing mind games to see how I would respond. You been lied on chested talked about misused scorn put in jail,. You lost your job, wife left you took your children.
Child support papers came. You have to show up in court.
You don’t look like the storm you came out of.
Job 13:15 King James Bibl Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.I don’t look like what I came out of.
Even if he kills me, I will hope in him. I will still defend my ways before him.
Habakkuk 3:18 yet I will in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
In timed past God alway dwell in something or someone. That was His the rade mark.
He is Spirit therefore He always dwell in.
There are some things God had not intended us to go through . Although we all have a cross to bare there is only one who went to the cross for us.
It was God Himself. No one else was qualify but Him to dwell in. Even John the baptize said one is coming whose shoes I am not fit to tie.
The only one who bleed and died on the cross, there is only one who was nail to the cross.
There is only one who bare a crown of thorns on His head. There is only one who was crucified on the cross.
There is only one mediator between God and man. And that is Jesus Christ!
A trademark is a symbol or word, legally registered or established. God is establishing you for His kingdom. In order to get there we must be extablish.
Which means we must dress the part to be the part, act the part, so people will identify us with Jedus Christ.
In order to dress the part we have to be extablish. When we accept Jesus Christ representing us through the knowledge of God.
Mist of us are either moving in the direction of the storm or coming out of the storm.
You have to make up, in your mind how you will respond to the storm when it comes.That will determine your reaction when it’s over.
It is Jesus Christ who identifies and distinguishes us from those of others.
To serve the people as mark men and women sign seal and deliver back to Hod put back in our position.
James 5:19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someoneshould bring him back, Consider this:
Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
He is design by God as it identifies and distinguishes the source Jesus Christ. Who establish His churches.
This also shows us the desires of
God. For He desire’sus to be intimate withHis people.
Today He dwells in us.
There was a time when He dwell in vehicles carried by men. Now it is in man carried by God.
Which is now our earthly body.
We are living tabernacles, not carried around by men. The Spirit of the living God dwells in us, carrying in us The Word of God.
Which lives and moves perfecting and establishing by exhibiting the characteristics of Jesus Christ. Who directs us into Gods perfect will and plan for our lives.
