We deal with a lot of “stuff” in our daily life. Our
"miracle" is to ADMIT that we don’t know what to do in a
tough situation. A lot of people don’t want to admit that
they, themselves, haven’t a clue as to what to do when
their back is against the wall.
Scriptures tell us we don’t know what to do in time of
trouble. This is when we should depend on the Almighty God.
Don’t go around wringing your hands, and saying “Oh, what AM
I going to do?” What you need to do is trust God, and ADMIT
you don’t know what to do when you DON’T know what to do.
We have the same covenant today with God as Israel did long
ago. If God did it for Israel, why wouldn’t He do it for us
today? God doesn’t change. He is the same God today, as He
was yesterday. If you invite God to come in and sit with
you, and ADMIT to Him that you just don’t know what to do,
you will come out on top.
There are 7 steps to help you come out on top with God.
Allow Him to work everything out in your situation.
7 Steps To Apply To Your Life
1. We must recognize that God is an all powerful God through
prayer and He can do ANYTHING if we pray and believe in our hearts.
"And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in
Heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the
heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might
so that none is able to withstand thee?"
II Chronicles 20:6
2. Remember what God has already done for you in the past.
God does not change. He is always the same.
"Art thou not our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants
of this land before thy people of Israel, and gavest it to
to the seed of Abraham thy friend forever?"
II Chronicles 20:7
3. Stand upon the Word of God. The Word has a supernatural
impact upon your life, when you get into the Word of God,
and read and study it.
"And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary
for thy name, saying, If when evil cometh upon us, as
the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand
before this house, in thy presence,(for thy name is in
this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then
thou wilt hear and help."
II Chronicles 20:8-9
4. Humble yourself and recognize you are insufficient to
cope and deal with the situation.
"O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we
have no might against this great company that
cometh against us; neither know we what to do;
but our eyes are upon thee."
II Chronicles 20:12
God can make something out of nothing. We cannot handle
everything. Just give the situation to God, He CAN!
What your budget can’t do, God CAN do! What your
prescriptions can’t do, God CAN do! What your doctors
can’t do, God CAN do! What your children can’t do, God
CAN do! Where IS your faith?
5. Don’t worry about the battle, it is not yours. It is
God’s. Don’t worry about the situation, the outcome
belongs to God. TRUST IN THE LORD.
"And He said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord
unto you. Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this
great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s."
II Chronicles 20:15
6. Have faith in the man or woman of God that is bringing
you the Word of God. Get skepticism and criticism out of
your life. Get alone with God and change your attitude.
You can’t get out of your situation if your don’t believe
the prophet of God who is bringing you the Word of God.
You gotta have faith and confidence in the servant of the
Almighty God.
"And they rose early in the morning, and went forth
into the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth,
Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye
inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your
God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets,
so shall ye prosper."
II Chronicles 20:20
7. Lift your voice with a loud praise. Your enemies will
be defeated and you will have victory.
"And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground;
and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before
the Lord, worshipping the Lord."
II Chronicles 20:18
Praise God for the victory, and trample on the devil’s
head! Sing to the Lord and praise and worship Him for
the victory is yours!
"And when they began to sin and to praise, the
Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon,
Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against
Judah; and they were smitten."
II Chronicles 20:22
In these last days, God is going to do ‘a whole lotta shakin’!
