How To Step Into The Future
The last time we learned we don’t need to regret the past, however we can accept the past in hope of a brighter future.
The key scriptures for this topic are
Deut 30:11-20
Rom 10: 6-9
The focus word from Romans is The word of faith.
This word of faith is the God news of Jesus Chirist. I believe our sins make or give way for us to relate to the gospel. As we see ourselves it gives us the opportunity to align ourselves with God’s truth in His word. Which will encourage us to make better choices.
What do we need to understand to move forward?
1.The faithfulness of God.
- Promises – God is not a man that He should lie or the son of man that He should repent – Num 23:19
- Sanctification – 1 Thess. 5: 23-24
1 Thessalonians 5:24 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own].
Presence –
Don’t be obsessed with money but live content with what you have, for you always have God’s presence. For hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you alone, never! And I will not loosen my grip on your life!” [6] So we can say with great confidence: “I know the Lord is for me and I will never be afraid of what people may do to me!” – Hebrews 13:5-6 TPT
2. The Providence and Sovereignty of God
His Word – Psalm 138:2
-
I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth, for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.
- Psalm 89:32-35 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David
- Written –
Psalm 139:16 – Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. - God has written a plan for your life, not only the world. You need to know it’s a good plan. A God glorifying plan. This should encourage us to think positively and expect the best or even the best offer the worst. – Comeback to writing and planning
3. Need to know why we read the Bible?
- The Learning Manual –
2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. - Romans 15:4 – For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
1 Corth 10: 6 – 13 – Explains it very well.
4. Be like God
Write the vision Habakkuk 2:1-4
- 1I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
- It is by faith you will make plans and operate and move.
- God plans, hopes and dreams. Most of all He is a God of purpose who doesn’t waste a thing.
