Why God Refuses To Meet You Halfway
Genesis 15:1-18
1. When God Seemed To Be Sleeping
5 years have passed since they left Urr, Abram is 75 now.
You are choosing either your perception of your situation OR faith in God's divine orchestration.
Evaluate your reality in light of God's identity!
Don't be afraid - I AM!!
Look forward, not back.
God's purpose never thwarted - His strategy seldom makes sense.
Learn to process what you're going through.
Don't walk by sight, walk by faith.
We can face whatever we face if we have God to help us process it.
There are bad things in what you're facing, but there's still good inside of it.
Life of surrender and obedience and a God who is in control of everything!
Choose faith.
Fear is a choice, just like faith is.
Take the backseat and trust where God is driving you.
Don't make rash decisions in the storm.
Hold on to what God gave you in the calm when you're in chaos.
Conscious choice to believe your beliefs and doubt your doubts.
Doubt is not the enemy of faith, certainty is.
2. When Abram Was Sleeping
Abram fell asleep.
A darkness spread over the land.
Fire AND smoke.
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit walking through.
Abram woke up to the smell of smoke.
Mark 15:33
You don't get salvation by achieving but receiving.
Smoking oven (devise used to carry coal from place to place) and burning torch (oil lamp - four wicks).
God can't meet us halfway because He's going the whole way!
