DIVINE POSSIBILITIES: CLIMB INTO GOD’S ENVELOPE
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
We are studying Divine Possibilities:
1. Climb into God’s Envelope; 2. Accept the Mantle; 3. Starving at a feast; 4. Let God!
5. When an unforgiving preacher preaches forgiveness; 6. Rising above the Minimum;
7. Rising above the scars; 8. Every miracle starts with a problem! 9. Walking in Divine
blessings; 10. Importunity/Determination
We are in the series of Divine Possibilities. God has a place near His heart for you.
We approach God’s throne humbly but boldly as His children.
The closer we walk to the Father the better we will know Him. It is a very important point for those that follow Jesus to come close to Him.
Today we seldom reach above our potential and accept there is more, there is the realm of Divine
Possibilities! We must speak to this spiritual realm and reach for God’s plan.
The closer we are to God and His son Jesus the better we can hear Him.
It is high time within the church that we speak blessing and release the Divine possibilities
that bring release. This is serious and we need to learn the power of coming close and being in the
center of His will. We want more than warming at a distant fire!
WE HAVE A HERITAGE AND WE MUST CLAIM OUR RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE.
I start this lesson with a large envelope and I place some pictures in the envelope and seal it closed.
God has a beautiful plan. God loves you and He has a Haven of Rest, He is a Rock of Refuge, He is the Lily of the Valley, He is the bright and morning star.
God has a place for you, God has an envelope for you.
God will place you in His Envelope of Love and seal you.
Why come out of the envelope of love?
Learn to stay near the heart of God, stay beneath the shadow of the cross.
I. DO YOU EVER WANT TO REFUSE SAFETY?
A. When I was a school teacher the Department of Forestry had this little Magazine.
Ranger Rick was the character. It appears there had been a forest fire, many trees had been destroyed, and many animals died. As Ranger Rick was walking through the destruction he noticed a lump on the ground. Ranger Rick kicked the lump and out ran several baby chickens. The hen had sacrificed her life to be a thermal blanket for the baby chickens. As Ranger Rick was picking up the baby chickens to take them to safety, he noticed the burnt remains of several baby chickens that for some reason had not come
under the safety net of the mother chicken and they died in the fire.
B.Why would a teenager hop into a car and drive away without their safety belt? Maybe some say a seat belt is dangerous?
But in 9 out of 10 accidents, that seat belt will help the persons?
II. RECEIVE NOTHING? WHY NOT?
SOME VERY SAD WORDS? I CAN’T RECEIVE GOD’S HERITAGE FOR ME?
James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave
of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7: For let not that man THINK THAT HE SHALL
RECEIVE ANYTHING OF THE LORD.
John 16:24 Hitherto have you asked nothing in My Name: ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE, that your joy may be full.
A. Our joy tanks are often empty or very low, because we have an unhealthy prayer life.
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption.
B. Suffering is inevitable. MISERY IS OPTIONAL!
God’s plan for us is to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS---
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? Or distress? Or persecution? Or famine? Or nakedness? Or peril? Or sword?
Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US. 38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come.
39: Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
III.GOD HAS A HERITAGE PLAN TO RESCUE HIS PEOPLE
THE ENEMY AND THE BATTLE HAS DIVINE LIMITATIONS!
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2: In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you unto Myself.
THE ENEMY AND THE BATTLE HAS DIVINE LIMITATIONS!
God’s wonderful love has placed limitations on what kind of garbage the enemy throws on you.
Have you ever heard someone say: “NO BODY KNOWS WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH?”
This is not true. God knows and other people have been right where you are today.
God will pull you through! If you can stand the pull!
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted ABOVE WHAT YOU ARE ABLE; AND WILL WITH THE TEMPTATION ALSO MAKE A WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT.
Courage does not always roar, sometimes wisdom and courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says: “I WILL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW!”
God has a plan and a purpose for every individual, for every family, and for every church.
God loves you and God has established limitations on your behalf.
IV. HOW ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL PROMISE? YOU HAVE A HERITAGE? STAND ON IT! CLAIM IT FOR YOU!
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is a heritage of the Lord.
A. I OFTEN SAY THE ONLY BULLETS IN THE ENEMY’S GUNS THAT CAN BE EFFECTIVE AND HIT THE TARGET – ARE THE BULLETS WE CREATE AND GIVE HIM!
B. What happens in any game when we LOSE SIGHT OF OUR GOAL.
An NBA basketball player will run up into the crowd and fight a fan… HE LOST SIGHT OF THE GOAL.
A city employee will cheat those he has worked for 20 years and steal 4.2 million dollars, and buy much TOYS…HE LOST SIGHT OF HIS GOAL.
C. A Christian may get tired in the battle, and say what is the use? HE LOST SIGHT OF THE GOAL.
D. How many have quit on the brink of their miracle?
E. Do you ever walk as a victim instead of the VICTOR?
F. Have you submitted to STRONGHOLDS, when deliverance was within reach?
G. Do you walk in the realm of the flesh and everything is a duty, an obligation, and becomes issues of control and manipulation? Where lives your JOY, HOPE, and PEACE? Is rest yours?
V. IT IS HIGH TIME TO COME INTO THE EVERLASTING ARMS OF GOD, AND CLAIM WHAT HE HAS PLANNED FOR US! WE NEED TO ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SEAL US IN THE ENVELOPE OF GOD’S PLAN!
DEFINE:
A. SEALED:
---something that confirms, ratifies, or makes secure.
---a tight and perfect closure.
---to solemnize for eternity.
---evidence of a standard of exactness.
---to fasten with something to prevent tampering.
---to close and make secure.
---to determine irrevocably.
B. ENVELOPE:
---something that wraps around to protect.
---a layer that covers.
C. HERITAGE:---SOMETHING TRANSMITTED BY OR ACQUIRED FROM A PREDECESSOR.
---property that descends to an heir.
---something transmitted by or acquired as a result of one’s natural or spiritual situation or birth.
VI. LET US PREPARE TO RECEIVE OUR RIGHTFUL HERITAGE!
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is a heritage of the Lord.
Come so close to God that the lure of the world has no draw upon you.
God has a plan for you, to release the Divine Possibilities you need to be near to the heart of God.
