The Blessing of Knowing What You Don’t Know – 6/3/22

Your peace isn't dependent on you knowing everything; rather, it depends on you trusting in God to provide everything you need to know.

Pr 30:5-6
Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Do not add to his words,
lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.

God is sovereign. Not man. God saves man. Man doesn’t decide to be saved in the absence of God’s direct intervention. (Eph 2:8-9)

Jn 3:7-8
Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

1 Pe 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

The Blessing of Knowing What You Don’t Know – 6/3/22
Whatever the Lord God wills, He does. Whatever He purposes, He brings to pass. The will of the Lord cannot be thwarted. He is absolutely sovereign. If there’s one truth we ought to be comfortable with, it’s this one!

Ac 20:28
Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

The Benefits of Faith
A faithful person is a content person because they don’t make demands on
God’s Word to provide them with answers that He hasn’t ordained them to know.

There’s no way to reconcile everything in the Bible unless it’s all true.

Your life on Earth is meant to bring glory to God, not yourself.

Ro 11:36
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever.
Amen.

Surrender!
The Lord God is immeasurable, so stop trying to measure Him and just have faith! Ro 11:33-36

Have Faith!
Accept the Truth He gives you and doesn't give you, and go forward in the love of God.

Gal 5:14-15
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

Jas 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Do NOT go to the Internet, or to people on the Internet, for answers…call me, your God-given pastor!!!

Jn 10:3b
The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

“not man’s gospel” – Gal 1:11
Regardless of man’s opinion, the Gospel isn’t his; rather, it is God’s, it is the Spirit’s, it is Christ’s. Paul used very strong language in defense of this very truth.

1Th 5:9-10
For God has not destined us for wrath [ref: “predestination” ala Ro 8:29-30], but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.
