So since we understand the problem, let’s agree that a wrong view of God will cause us to ask amiss.
A wrong view of God will lead to a wrong relationship with God.
Our own wisdom is insufficient to understand God
6 foundational, biblical truths that you need to know about God!
1- God loves you
2- He is HOLY
3- We must trust His JUDGMENT because ours is limited.
4- We must trust HIS TIMING
5- We must RESPECT HIS STRENGTH
6- We must seek HIS PRESENCE
Now that we have been given, by divine gift, insight into God...
How do we implement this understanding...
CONFORM: to fit into a mold; make or become the same; to behave in a conventional way by accepting without question the customs, traditions and prevailing opinions of others.
TRANSFORM: to change the nature, character or personality.
Repent: metanoia = change the way you think
Confess: homologeo = say the same thing
Q: HOW DO WE THINK LIKE GOD?
WHEN I SAY WHAT GOD SAYS, I BEGIN TO THINK LIKE GOD THINKS
God isn’t asking me to MAKE a promise I CANNOT KEEP. He is asking me to RECEIVE a promise ONLY HE CAN KEEP.
I want to speak the words that God has given me to speak!
We call these confessions!
Why is confession so important biblically? Because it is the first step of transformation!
