Summary: God’s help is on the way.
HELP IS ON THE WAY
TEXT: HEB. 4:16
“LET US THEREFOR COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN THE TIME OF NEED.”
READ AMPLIFIED:
“…THAT WE MAY RECEIVE MERCY FOR OUR FAILURES AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN GOOD TIME FOR EVERY NEED, APPROPRIATE HELP, AND WELL TIMED HELP, COMING JUST WHEN WE NEED IT.”
THERE ARE MANY NEEDS TODAY IN EVERY HOME, CITY, TOWN, AND STATE. SO MANY ARE DISTRESSED, AND CONFUSED BY ALL OF WHAT THE WORLD HAS AND HAS TO OFFER. WE HAVE SEEN PROBLEMS IN OUR COUNRTY THAT WE HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE.
THE NEWS IS FULL OF CRIME AND HATE, WHICH HAS LED TO ALL TYPES OF CRIME AND VIOLENCE ON OUR STREETS. AND IN OUR PERSONAL LIVES WE FIGHT A BATTLE THAT WE CANNOT SEE; FOR IT IS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE THAT ONLY GOD CAN HELP US THROUGH.
THIS ONE THING I KNOW, GOD LOVES US AND WON’T LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US, AND FOR THOSE WHO COME BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD BOLDLY CAN FIND GRACE AND HELP IN THE TIME OF NEED. “I SAID” HELP IS ON THE WAY, HELP IS… ON THE WAY.
ROM. 8:38-39
“ FOR I AM PERSUADED, THAT NEITHER DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS, NOR PRINCIPALITIES, NOR POWERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR THINGS TO COME.”
“ NOR HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH, NOR ANY CREATURE, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.”
EVEN THOUGH GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE US, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THINGS SEEM TO BE DOWN, OR YOU MIGHT THINK THERE ARE LOW TIMES WHEN MAYBE HE IS NOT THERE, BUT HE ALWAYS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
REMEMBER THAT HELP IS ON THE WAY!!!
I WANT YOU TO ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN GOD’S ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYER MIGHT NOT BE WHAT YOU WANT, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR GOD TO NOT ALWAYS ANSWER ANYTHING CLOSE TO WANT YOU WANT TO HEAR. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY WANT FOR THINGS THAT ARE NOT EXPIDENT.
HOWEVER GOD WILL ANSWER PRAYER AND WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US, HE JUST MAY NOT GIVE US WHAT WE WANT.
MATT. 28:20
“…AND LO I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.”
I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES WE HAVE SMALL TO MAJOR ISSUES THAT ARISE SOMETIMES WITHOUT WARNING, WE MUST HAVE FAITH THAT GOD WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS. YOU SEE EVEN THOUGH WE CAN’T SEEM TO WORK OUT SOME THINGS, GOD CAN.
FOR THIS IS NOT---------- “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE”
REMEMBER…HELP IS ON THE WAY!!!
NOW LET US LOOK AT THIS, WE MUST REALIZE THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WHEN WE PRAY, BUT WE’VE GOT TO STAY IN THE WILL OF GOD.
REMEMBER THAT GOD IS ONLY INTERESTED IN THE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD AND RIGHT FOR US.
“IF YE ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YE SHALL ASK WHAT YE WILL, AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU.”
“THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU, WHAT THINGS SOEVER YE DESIRE, WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YE RECEIVE THEM, AND YE SHALL HAVE THEM.”
“AND WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE RECEIVE OF HIM, BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT.”
NOTICE THE WORD TEACHES US IF WE DO THOSE THINGS…WE MUST BE ABOUT DOING, NOT WATCHING, NOT HOPING, NOT WAITING, NOT JUST HANGING AROUND, BUT DOING, WE MUST BE BUSY DOING THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT.
AND ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT PRAY!!!!
BUT WE MUST HAVE THE FAITH TO BELIEVE!!!
NOTICE IN THE 6TH VERSE OF HEB. 11 THE WORD TEACHES US THAT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD.
AND IN JAMES 2:20 THE WORD TEACHES US THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD, WE MUST BE DOING THE WILL OF GOD AND WORKING IN HIS VINEYARD.
WE MUST BE FAITHFUL FOR GOD IS FAITHFUL TO US.
HELP IS ON THE WAY !!!
“JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH.”
GIVE YOURSELF TO THE PECIOUS WILL OF GOD AND HELP WILL BE ON THE WAY.
IF YOU GOT PROBLEMS, GIVE THEM TO GOD AND HELP WILL BE ON THE WAY.
IF THERE IS SICKNESS IN YOUR FAMILY, BELIEVE ON THE LORD, AND HELP WILL BE ON THE WAY.
IF YOU NEED ANSWERS ON FAMILY ISSUES, WORK PROBLEMS, AND SO ON, SEEK THE LORD AND HELP WILL BE ON THE WAY.
WHEN THE CHURCH BEGINS TO PRAY, HELP IS ON THE WAY.
WHEN YOU HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO GO, CALL ON GOD AND HELP WILL BE ON THE WAY.
WHEN YOU HAVE NO THER HOPE, TURN TO GOD, FOR THEN HELP WILL BE ON THE WAY.
