You Can Depend On God

Lesson 1 -Why You Can Depend On God? – Apostle Robert L. Howard

 In a world of broken promises and fleeting dreams you may feel as if there is no one to turn to or no one that you can depend on, well there is good news. No matter what it looks like you can depend on God! God has your life fixed so that a door will always be open to you the believer.

God has made a way of escape, for every test and trial that you will encounter. So don’t give up on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is so profound, it is everything that you need for your mind, trials, domestic problems, loneliness, or whatever else you may encounter.

It is the Gospel that is going to take the saints through. The Gospel will make you smile when you don’t feel like it, it will make you stand up even when you think you can’t. You can trust the Gospel of Jesus Christ because all the power God has is in it.

So call on the Lord and don’t get tired! You see the devil never gets tired. He is running to and fro the whole earth seeking whom he may devour. So don’t get weary in well doing or calling on the Lord.

1 Peter Chapter 5:8

Be Sober, Be Vigilant; Because Your Adversary The Devil, As A Roaring Lion, Walketh About, Seeking Whom He May Devour

This is the day for the gospel and speaking The Word of God. You see The Gospel is ready for anything the devil tries to start in your life! So take the Gospel and tell yourself that God said, “that when I go through the Fire, through the water He will be with me.” Tell yourself “Jesus Christ is for me and will never leave me or let me down.” Don’t stop praying saints, don’t get tired. Use the Gospel on your trials and not what you think or feel.

Isaiah Chapter 43:2

When Thou Passest Through The Waters, I Will Be With Thee; And Through The Rivers, They Shall Not Overflow Thee: When Thou Walkest Through The Fire, Thou Shalt Not Be Burned; Neither Shall The Flame Kindle Upon Thee.

You see, when you get tired of praying and calling on the Lord in the midst of your trials, you begin to start thinking outside of The Word of God. You begin to doubt The Word of God and you begin to use human reasoning or draw conclusions based on what you see or feel.

Unfortunately human reasoning does not take into account that we serve a God who can speak anything into existence. Using human reasoning in the midst of our trials can cause us to doubt, worry and fear. But remember, God can make all things work together for our good; all we have to do is trust and believe Him.

So if the devil can get us to use human reasoning he knows that we will get discouraged and give up on God. So he has to wait for us to give up and stop believing The Word of God. Listen, there is nothing wrong with giving up. Just give up to Jesus and keep the gospel in your mouth.

Never let your trials cause you to shut your mouth. Whether temptation or trial; from the pulpit to the door you have to tell the devil what God said. Listen, it could be a child on drugs or a man that will not bring the money home. But no matter how it comes remember that with the temptation a way of escape, comfort or deliverance for the saints will always be made. You just have to continue to speak The Word of God in faith to your situation.

You may have eight things to happen to you but do not stop trusting Jesus Christ. Stand still and watch God, He will work it out. Yes, you might spend some lonely nights, your children may not obey, you could have trouble in your community, or sickness. But keep speaking the Word of God. Deliverance is in your mouth. God is faithful He will not let you down!

1 Corinthians 10:13

There Hath No Temptation Taken You But Such As Is Common To Man: But God Is Faithful, Who Will Not Suffer You To Be Tempted Above That Ye Are Able; But Will With The Temptation Also Make A Way To Escape, That Ye May Be Able To Bear It.

You cannot go by what you see in your trial so don’t give up on the Gospel. It may look like doors are shut in your face, but there will always be a door open for the saints of God. Listen, just because something does not work for you, do not stop praying. God will always be available. He will never go to sleep, take a vacation, coffee break, or get tired of you. So keep looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith.

Psalms 121:3-5

He Will Not Suffer Thy Foot To Be Moved: He That Keepeth Thee Will Not Slumber. 
 
Behold, He That Keepeth Israel Shall Neither Slumber Nor Sleep. The Lord Is Thy Keeper: The Lord Is Thy Shade Upon Thy Right Hand

 

Hold on! Maybe you want to call Him the El-Shaddai. You might call Him Jehovah- Nissi, Jehovah-Shalom, or Elohim. I will call Him Jesus! A friend to the friendless, father to the fatherless, mother to the motherless. The bottom line….. You can depend on God!
