Removed: All Keys Gone!
We’re homeless!
Neither of us have a job!
Everything we own is in our car (except for the horse, of course).
BUT, NAIDA AND I ARE EXCITED!!!
Removed: A Key Step In Your Life
Did you know God talks very plainly about REMOVING THINGS FROM YOUR LIFE.
Plainly? He speaks STRONGLY, about it.
Proverbs 25:4-5 HCSB
[4] Remove impurities from silver, and a vessel will be produced for a silversmith.
[5] Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
If you’ve heard me speak, you have heard me say, “God is sovereign, and because He’s sovereign, He wants a relationship with you. THAT’S WHY HE DESIGNED PRAYER.
He doesn’t need your advice in prayer. He already knows what you’ll ask before you even speak it (Matthew 6:8).
What Does God Want Removed from Your Life?
Distraction of Impurity:
And the evil one likes to remind you of it, just when you are ready to pray.
Acknowledge it, ask for forgiveness and then praise Him for He is Good.
“You, God, are Good.”
Distraction of You Being Evil to Others:
Acknowledge it. Ask for forgiveness, and then start praising the Lord for He is Self-Control incarnate.
“You, God, are Self-Control.”
Distraction of Money:
Often, your bank account, big or small, can rob you of God’s joy. But, if God is sovereign, He has a plan.
Acknowledge your situation, be a good steward and trust Him to take care of the details. He is the God of Joy.
“You, God, are Joy.”
Distraction of Anxiety:
Remind yourself that He is the God of peace, and then begin your prayers with that great act of praise.
“You, God, are Peace.”
THE PROMISE WHICH DISTRACTIONS FALL TO EVERY-TIME . . .
I love this passage. It tells me tat as a Christian I ALREADY HAVE inside of me, everything I need to live the life God has chosen for me to live . . .
2 Peter 1:3 NLT
By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence.
