He's Mad About You Not Mad At You!

Our Heavenly Father really wants to do great things our lives! So many of us struggle with believing that God desires good things for us. Maybe we grew up being taught that God was mad at us, or maybe we had some bad experiences that shaped our perspective. But the truth is God’s not mad at us today; He’s madly in love with us! That is great news today!!!

In the natural, the more you know someone, the easier it is to believe what they have to say. The same is true with God. The more we know Him, the more we will know His unconditional love. When we open the eyes of our hearts by reading and meditating on His Word, we will clearly see His goodness and the wonderful plan He has for our future. “Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face in the pitch like darkness]...”(Psalm 13:3, AMP)

I encourage us as a church to seek Him so we can see Him, know Him and trust Him. Let His Word illuminate our hearts so we can see clearly with our eyes of faith. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you so you can find confidence in His love and experience the blessing He has in store for your future! we Started a new series last Wednesday night called, “People God likes to Bless”. Here are some of the notes!

PEOPLE GOD LIKES TO BLESS-

MATTHEW 5:3- “BLESSED are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”  (NIV)

“God blesses those who realize their need for him . . .” (NLT)

“. . . who recognize they are spiritually helpless . . .” (GW)

 “. . . who depend only on HIM . . .” (CEV)

 “. . . who know they have great spiritual needs . . .” (NCV)

“The Lord God blesses everyone who trusts him and depends on him.” Psalm 146:5 (CEV)

TO BE “POOR IN SPIRIT” MEANS: TO HUMBLY DEPEND ON GOD INSTEAD OF MYSELF

HOW DO I DEPEND ON GOD INSTEAD OF MYSELF?

1.DEPEND ON GOD’S WISDOM NOT MINE

2.DEPEND ON GOD’S STRENGTH, POWER AND ENERGY NOT MINE

3.DEPEND ON GOD’S TIMING NOT MINE

4.DEPEND ON GOD’S DEFENSE NOT MINE
