Honor God In Every Situation - #31

Summary:

Honoring God in all situations that we face can bring such a simplicity to our lives. It’s a human, natural trait to make anything we face complicated and hard to understand. But, by honoring the Father, we start to find how simple and uncomplicated He really is, and how much He wants to move through us to do the supernatural without us getting complex or prideful in any way.

 

Show Notes:

• Why do people want to make things so complicated, especially in the things of the Lord? Jesus told us all to be as little children. Children have a way of just trusting, which makes things work for them.

• If Jesus was simple and practical in they way He taught, why do we, as humans, take that and try to make it so complex that neither you or anyone else can walk it out?

• We are starting to learn, here at Trinity, after seeing well over 100 real miracles in the last 35 years, to honor God in every situation, and give Him all the credit.

 

Quotes:

• I’m noticing about my relationship with the Lord and my time with the Father that the things that God is teaching me are not complex, but they are really, really simple, basic spiritual principles.

• Jesus taught in such a way that someone who had absolutely no spiritual orientation whatsoever could get the truth. They couldn’t miss the truth. It was that simple.

• I believe that is a gift that God has given me, to take some of these complex scriptural issues and make them simple, where everybody can understand it. So, I'm going to roll with it.

• My teachings are for the regular guy. I could go in and pick out a message that only 10% of the real Bible hounds in church are going to be able to grasp and understand, but I don’t see any really good reason for doing that, when you have 80% of the people who are regular people, like me and you.

• God is testing us in the natural to see if He can trust us with the supernatural. There’s nothing complicated about it. It’s a simple, simple principle.

• Any compliments or praises that you might get after praying for a healing and it happens, you should deflect those straight toward the Father, which helps you from getting prideful in some way.

Takeaways:

Don’t make it complicated. Honor God in everything that you do and experience, and give Him the credit for all that happens through you and around you. God is testing us in the natural, to see if He can trust us with the supernatural.
