WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode is:  SEEKING ANSWERS 

Life sometimes sends us things that leave us wondering what to do next. Nothing makes sense, we are left with more questions than answers. As children of God, we normally dig deep and seek God for our answers. There is a peace knowing that God will give us what we need to take the next breath. He will help us to take every step.

But people in the world who do not know Jesus often turn to psychics, mystics, gurus and people that are involved in spiritual things that are not of God. The trouble with seeking any answers from anyone other than God himself is that He is the only one who understands and knows the real answers.

Psychics, mystics, witches all these people get their information from a monitoring spirit that sees what you do and reports to the psychics etc. These people that see in the spirit realm are talked to by demons. We can’t find answers in psychics or philosophies of man.

As children of God, we can hear from God. He will speak to us. Most people will never hear an audible voice.  But they learn to know his still small voice that is inside.

Everyone’s walk is different. We all face different things in life. This is why everyone needs to seek God’s face for themselves. We never want to be found in the position of Saul.

I Samuel Chapter 28.

Saul had been disobedient to the Lord. God ripped his authority away as king. He still was sitting in the seat temporarily, but God’s blessing and guidance had been taken away. In the absence of God people will seek help other places.

Saul went to a witch in order to talk to Samuel the prophet that had died. He however didn’t talk to Samuel, he talked to a spirit or a demon pretending to be Samuel.

The spirit told him the truth. These spirits will often tell you the truth at first to lure you into a false sense of belief. Once you have faith in what they are telling you they have you trapped and will lead you astray.

Saul became afraid of being killed by his enemy that he begged his armorbearer to kill him. He refused so Saul killed himself to keep from being killed by his enemy. Saul’s downward spiral began with his disobedience to God. There is never a reason to seek help outside of Jesus.

When I feel like I don’t know what to do, I go to prayer. We can find peace to face the hardest things in life when we pray. It is in difficult times that I find the words of Jesus comforting.

Matt 7:7-11  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

We need to ask God, he will not be shocked by our questions. He knows our heart and that we have questions. If we seek answers we will find them. He knows what we have need of before we ask, but he wants us to ask. He wants us to depend on him.

In the middle of our darkest night, he is our lighthouse. Jesus can shine a light of hope in the middle of the darkest night. Jesus can hold us steady in the middle of the storms of life.

Exodus 14:13-14 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

This occurred right before God split the Red Sea. The people had a great fear of them. They felt trapped not knowing what to do. We often feel that way in life, trapped and unable to make a move in any direction. But God understands our fear and will make a way where there seemed to be no way. Even if he has to part a sea to do it. The enemy will not overtake God children as long as we look to him and have faith.

Our country is facing some hard situations. The only way America will survive is to look to Jesus. Now more than ever before we need to press in and focus on prayer. It is true, Prayer changes things.

I want to share two verses with you today.

Psalm 138:3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

2 Cor. 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

When we walk by faith, it is not always easy, because we are used to making decisions by what we see, our instincts. Faith is trusting that God will take care of it all even when things do not appear to be going the right way.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
