Simple Obedience Unlocks God's Supernatural Results

In fact, when Elisha, when they were surrounded by an army, he wasn't tripping. He was calm even though there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers ready to wipe them out completely, and his his servant was freaking out. And he said, God, would you open his eyes? What happened? He got to see for a moment into the spirit and saw a myriad of angels and that the armies of heaven were greater than the armies in the natural that were standing before him. I wanna tell you today, if you are only fighting in the natural, you are fighting a losing battle as a believer. [00:58:29] (28 seconds)  #HeavenlyArmiesHidden

it's the main point I wanna give you today. If you got something to write down, notes, please do it. I want you to write this down. It has changed my life. It is the key from going to a cultural Christianity experience to a supernatural Christianity experience of following the God of the Bible, and it is this. Simple obedience leads to God's supernatural results. [01:02:00] (25 seconds)  #SimpleObedienceSupernatural

So we see this amazing supernatural story. The walls fall down. The people shout. They didn't even fight. And the walls come crumbling down. And you you might be thinking yourself, well, yeah, well, that was Joshua. That was this man of God. That was, you know, back in those days. And okay. You say it's not mythology, but it's kinda hard to believe, but that's just for them. Right? No. No. God's supernatural results are for any person who simply obey his word and simply obey his commands. [01:02:32] (30 seconds)  #WallsFallByFaith

See, all through the Bible, there are promises, and God shows us how obeying his promises leads to living in his supernatural results. Deuteronomy 28 says this, if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth, and all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. And the rest of the chapter, they just said, and you'll be blessed when you're going in and blessed when you're coming out. You'll be blessed in the field, and you'll be blessed at home, and all these different blessings that they begin because all through the word command the the walking in the promises and the commands of God are tied to obedience. And so what does simple obedience look like? I wanna give us three things God was showing me very simply from this passage that we read today in Joshua's story and the people of God. Three things, how we simply obey. Number one, we obey immediately. [01:07:58] (56 seconds)  #ObeyAndLivePromises

Obey immediately. See, God gives Joshua specific instructions. And then in verse six, he says, Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priest and said to them now don't miss that. It didn't say that Joshua went to the tent where his commanders were and and kind of studied over the Lord's battle plan to see if it was better than theirs. No. No. It just says he called them together and got going. He obeyed immediately. You know, you've maybe heard this said is delayed obedience is disobedience. [01:08:53] (30 seconds)  #DelayedObedienceIsDisobedience

If you don't follow completely, you will not end up at the results. Right? You're like, how did that shelf get like this instead of it's because it's cartoons with no words on the instructions. That's why. We have to follow God's instructions completely if we're going to walk into the supernatural results that God wants for our lives. I wanna tell you today, pay attention to God's commands and do them completely. [01:12:27] (28 seconds)  #FollowGodsInstructions

So let me tell you this today. The reason that we worship is because worship gives us proper perspective. Every time I come into a worship time, it's not, God, if I do this, can you speak? Even though I need him to speak. God, if I do this, would you heal? Even though I need him to heal. God would if I worship and if I come to church, Lord, would you direct even though I need his direction? No. No. It's I stand and say, God, you are God in heaven, and here am I on earth. So I stand in awe of you. [01:16:19] (33 seconds)  #WorshipGivesPerspective

God, would you and your grace and your mercy and your love lead us back to where we left off? Father, we pray that, Lord, we would be people of the word of God. That, Lord, your word would be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, that your word would change our lives, and that, God, we would simply obey. And, God, I know because I've seen it in my life, we will then begin to see your move supernaturally in our lives because simple obedience lead to God's supernatural results. And, God, I pray that for all of my friends today, for everyone who calls the father's house home. God, let us not be those who who have a cultural Christianity, but, God, let us be one that live the life that you have for us. And so, Holy Spirit, just in these few seconds, I ask you to reveal to every heart right now because you love them, [01:20:52] (46 seconds)  #PeopleOfTheWord
