Today’s message…..
Psalms 23:4
Yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
_ Your enemies may think that because you are in the valley it is over, lest we not forget His rod and his staff comfort us
What is a valley?
_ a place of fear, loniness, abondonment, a place between to hills or mountains
God did not say He will not take you into the valley
Why does God allow you to enter the valley?
1) So God may build up your maturity
* the blind man who was born blind, was not because of the sin of his mother or father, but because it glorifies God.
* if you want to get muscles we go to the gym to lift weights, all the pressure that we have to endure just to get those muscles. we hold the pressures of life, to behold the the glory of the end results
2) so you can totally depend on God
* people are always there to help you, so you dont see God, so God
gives you a miracle were all your friends and family abandonds
you and the only place you can is towards God.
3) to let the devil know how much God values you
* when God says He will be with, it tells the devil just how much He values you. After all the sins we commit, He still comforts
us in the prison, valley.
4) so you can have some mountain experience
* any time you see a valley it means that there is a mountain around, a place of elevation. Because of the scarcity enjoy the
prosperity. If your valley is very deep, your mountain shall be too high.
5) to make testimonies out of your life
* testemony = the uncommon, the unusual, the unprecedented
6) your valley life will increase your praise life
* the valley will not kill you it will give you joy.
While you are in the valley, be carweful of your mummuring. Paul said to Cilus, nothing shall seperate us from the love of God, not anger, proverty or death. Even in the prison, they praised God until heaven opened up and God could not sit down. Your valley life will bring you your praise life (Psalms 23).
Today’s message…..
Psalms 23:4
“Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death”
What is a valley?
_ a place of fear, loneliness, abandonment, a place between two hills or mountains
Why does God allow you to enter the valley?
1) So God may build up your maturity
* the blind man who was born blind, was not because of the sin of his mother or father, but because the miracle that was coming forth his way, will greatly glorify God.
* if you want to get muscles we go to the gym to lift weights, all the pressure that we have to endure just to get those muscles. We go through the pressures of life, to behold the glory of the end result.
2) So you can totally depend on God
* people are always there to help you, so you don’t see God, but when God wants to do a special miracle in your life, He lets all your friends and family to abandon you, so that the only place you can look up to is HIM, and when God brings forth the miracle, all Glory is unto him, that man may not boast, saying, “If not for me, you won’t be this or that”
3) To let the devil know how much God values you
* when God says He will be with you, it tells the devil just how much He values you. After all the sins we commit, He still comforts
us in the prison; the valley.
4) So you can have some mountain experience
* any time you see a valley it means that there is a mountain around, a place of elevation. Because of scarcity, you will be able to enjoy prosperity. If your valley is very deep, your mountain shall be too high.
5) To make testimonies out of your life
* testimony = the uncommon, the unusual, the unprecedented
6) Your valley life will increase your praise life
* the valley will not kill you it will give you joy.
While you are in the valley, be careful of your murmuring. Paul said to Silas, nothing shall separate us from the love of God, not anger, poverty or death. Even in the prison, they praised God until heaven opened up and God could not sit down.
So praise God, through your valley experience for elevation is coming forth your way. Let your focus be on God, and not man. For with man, you can only get somewhere, but with God, you can get anywhere, for with God, all things are possible.
