Good & Plenty: Refusing the Wilderness Mentality

The wilderness was a path that was never the destination. The wilderness did not reveal the will of god. The promise landed that. Okay. So it's through these he has granted to us his precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust. I said this to you last week. If all you do is study your pain Come on now. You'll misinterpret your god. That's right. And there's been a great many people that they changed their theology to fit their circumstances. [00:05:22] (42 seconds)  #WildernessNotHome

And this is what I said to you last week, the promises of God are twofold. If you won't let go of them, if you won't relinquish them, they do two things in your life. They will change your circumstances, but just as important, maybe even more important, they'll change you. That it's by the promises of god that are twofold, something wonderful happens. You become a partaker, a partner with the divine nature. That means you become more like him. And that's the ultimate objective. [00:04:14] (31 seconds)  #PromisesTransform

God said, I'm bringing you into. I brought you out in order to bring you into. I brought you out of misery to bring you into joy. I brought you out of darkness to bring you into light. I brought you out of disease to bring you into health. Yes. Yes. God doesn't bring you out to leave you stranded. No, sir. This is the reason why this verse in the Psalms is so important. We went through the water. We went through the fire. There were times when it didn't seem like we were gonna get ahead, but you You. Brought us out and into. Uh-huh.

In Eden, there was provision, there was beauty, there was fruitfulness, there was the ability for multiplication, there was dominion, and there was purpose. In Genesis chapter one, God said this, be fruitful. Multiply. That means increase. And fill the earth and do what? Subduce it. Subduce it. That means the original environment of man was not scarcity. It was supply. Scarcity entered through the fall, but abundance was there in the beginning. [00:09:27] (37 seconds)  #OriginalAbundance

If we fail to enter in, y'all, it's gonna be because of unbelief. Yes. That's right. Yes. That's good. Not because your enemy is so strong. Amen. Not because giants are occupying your territory. That if listen. If you and I walk in faith, what is against you is of no consequence. Amen. Amen. Y'all with me this morning? Yes, sir. Amen. So when god when god started this whole thing in the book of Eden, I I said this to you last week. I'm trying to get into the next part. He didn't put man in a desert and say try to survive.

Gotta quit being so familiar with how to endure and how to scrape by and how to ration out and always bracing for impact and get this one, expecting disappointment. Everyone say out Out. Into Into. You can be delivered and still think like a slave. To me, one of the saddest verses in the entirety of the bible is found in numbers chapter 13 verse 33. And it's when they came out of the promised land carrying evidence that God was true, that what he said was not a lie, carrying evidence. [00:17:59] (47 seconds)  #StopSurvivingStartThriving

listen. And if you and I don't stop, if we don't get distracted, and if we don't camp out in the wilderness, we will always come to our but god time, where we would have collapsed, but god. We our story would have ended, but god. We would have died, but god. The psalmist goes on, but you brought us out into a broad moist place to abundance and refreshment and the open air.

and that's where we're going. The the whole point of this series is to let you know what you've been through. You're not the only one that's ever gone through it, but it's up to you to keep going. Yes, sir. Yes. Psalm Psalm 23 says, yay, though I Woah. Yay though I not that I sit down and camp out in the valley, but I walk through the valley. I said to you last week that when you're on a path, what do you do on a path? You keep going. [00:04:52] (29 seconds)  #WalkThroughTheValley
