Stop searching for today’s blessings in old places; God’s doing a new thing.
What would keep me from perceiving what God is doing
Maybe it’s expecting it to look just like what he’s done
So here I am looking
For God to part the Red Sea again
Because that’s what he did last time
Sometimes the greatest barrier to what God is doing is what he used to do
so when you first became a Christian you just open your Bible and you’re like
Oh
you just open it anywhere and God spoke to you and it had the verse of your street address from when you were eight and
you just open it and you felt like a Care Bear and love shot out of your chest all across the
And now means your Bible flips open to all the depressing songs in the
Judas enough God what speak to me like you used to speak to me?
God said, I’m still speaking but not on the same frequency. I need you to go deeper. I need you to dig for something now
Forget
Forget not his faithfulness, but forget the form that it came in
They couldn’t get this
So in Hebrews chapter 6 verse 1 the writer says you keep looking for God to look like the law
Because that’s what you were addicted to see we get addicted to
One form of deliverance and then grace comes along and we don’t even know what to do with it because it’s not what God
used to do
You got to move on
Some of you grew up in really religious environments where you know, God wasn’t happy unless you were depressed, you know
It didn’t even count as Church unless you had to endure it you need to move on past that God is doing a new thing
I mean lift your hands lift your heart be free in his presence
He’s doing a new thing. Do you not see it? It will spring forth out of the ground
Do you not perceive it and what got me about it JJ?
is
That when he did it at the Red Sea
He made a way
Through the waters. Is that what he did not setting you up this time? That’s how the Bible story goes, right?
Dun-dun-dun-dun he made away
Dondon tanta through the waters and the waters stood up that that the water that separated them from their freedom stood at attention
like walls on either side until they got through and drowned the Egyptians and they love that story because that story
Reminded them of their deliverance
And he made a way through the waters
Isaiah says this time God is going to make away
But he’s not gonna make a way through the waters
He’s going to make a way in
the wilderness
Let me ask a question, what did they need in the wilderness
What was it they needed water so what used to be the barrier
Is about to be the blessing y’all better help me preach. I
Feel the faithfulness of God
You see what I’m saying, what was the barrier is now the blessing
What did threaten to kill you is now what God is bringing forth
So God said I am your Creator I am your king and this is what I do I turn
barriers to blessings I turn water in dry ground into
Sustenance for your survival. I turn pain into power. I turned shame into grace
I turn abuse. It’s a straight that make a way
I’m a way maker I am worthy of worship. I’m worthy of praise. I’m doing a new thing in your life
Whatever’s next is better
Whatever’s next is better
That’s what my faith believes when I find myself in a wilderness see a wilderness is not a situation
Where you feel like you’re about to die a wilderness is a situation like these exile in Babylon
Wondering how long the Lord how long am I going to feel like I’m in a place emotionally that I don’t understand
It wasn’t the physical surrounding of Babylon that made them weep as they sat by the rivers
It wasn’t the lack of prosperity. It was a lots of purpose how long am I going to wander in this place?
But this time I’m not sending Moses to get you out
This time I’m gonna send the water to where you are and I am going to bless you in that place
Because I’m away maker
Bom Bom Bom I
Believe dr. Hunt I see you do it again
But how you do it is up to you
I don’t know if this will help you but sometimes I get in situations and I just don’t see
away, I
Don’t know if you’re there right now. I don’t know if you’re going into that
If you just came out of it one thing I know is you will find yourself
It feels terrible because you feel trapped
You feel uncertain
you feel landlocked and
Here comes water springing forth from the ground where you are
And and I learned something I learned something. Hope this helps you really want to want this to help you
When I get into that that internal wilderness
Where I can’t feel God like I used to feel God
and it used to be dah dah dah dah, and that was just
When I get into that place and I don’t know how I don’t know who
And I don’t know when
When I get into that place I
realized that it’s not my job to
Predict
the way
That God is going to make
So I don’t have to know how
if I know who
You got me I
Am Alpha and Omega
beginning and
the end a
lot of us get stuck in a beta blessing and
We cannot receive the upgrade because we are so stuck in the way. God used to move
but he says today I
am
Doing a new thing. I know it doesn’t feel like it used to feel but I’m still faithful
I know it doesn’t look like it used to look but I’m still thankful
I know some things have changed in our country, but I’m still faithful because I am the Lord
I was the Lord I will die. Am I was I will be I make away. It’s what I do
It’s Who I am
And I’m making a way for you right now do you not see it and so often the answer is
no, I
Don’t see it
Because I’m looking backwards I found out for a lot of people the greatest barrier to their blessing is not what’s before them
Is what’s behind them that
God has already dealt with
So whoever God sent me to preach to today
You might be like 72 years old and feel like you know what my best is behind me. The devil is a liar. I
Said the devil I said if he’s talking he’s lying
Your best is not behind you. God has already been to your future and he said hurry up
I
Want to bless you where you are I
Want to bless you with the strength you have left
Empty-nesters just because your kids are gone does not mean your calling is over
I’m doing a new thing
I’m doing a new thing in your life
I’m doing a new thing in this church you
Saw how I move that water when you need it to go through it now
I’m gonna make the water come up where you need it the most
