Scriptures that talk about...
What do you do when you are faced with an impossible situation? Maybe it is hard-a thing you absolutely do not want to do- or maybe it is unjust in some way. I've had my share of situations like this and I find there are three things I must do in order to face the future and overcome. I have to;
Decide・If I am going to get mad, stay mad, and get even, or
If I am going to get mad, stay mad, and get even, or・If I am going to acknowledge God as Lord of my life, the one in charge of my life-even though I do not understand.
If I am going to acknowledge God as Lord of my life, the one in charge of my life-even though I do not understand.・If I choose to get angry and get even, I will stay in this situation or one like it until I change my attitude or die. The choice is mine alone to make.

The choice is mine alone to make.・If I choose to acknowledge God as Lord, I must give Him freedom to do with me as His pleases, and praise Him for doing so. I must freely yield myself and any outcome to the situation I find myself to his control. There must not be any hold-out on my part. Doing this takes a great deal of prayer and faith.

RepentI'm taking some liberty here but I have yet to face a difficult situation where I did not need to spend some effort repenting of my past indifference, or self centeredness, or just plain laziness.・Always God has tried to warn me, to lead me in a different direction, or to get my attention in some way in the days and weeks leading up to the onset of the situation I am in. I am not saying it is my fault that I am here, though it may well be, what I am saying is God was not taken by surprise, he knew it was coming, he knew what I would need to do in order to avoid it altogether, or to be prepared to go through it in victorious confidence. If I was not ready, then it is because I was not listening to him well enough. For this, I repent.

If I was not ready, then it is because I was not listening to him well enough. For this, I repent.I need to ask God to check my heart and my life and identify any area of sin or disobedience. Many times I have allowed sin to stay in my life, usually because I like it, and that leads to a gap in the spiritual wall around myself and my family. For this, I repentForgiveIf there is any unforgiveness in my heart, I must repent and forgive. This is a sin, it is not an option, if I want God to move in my life, to deliver me from the hand of the enemy, I must forgive as Christ forgave me. Psalms 139:23-24 ( NIV ) Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
.Wake up and take action.
Wake up and take action.- .I have to get our heart and life right by repenting of sin, disobedience, and indifference
- I have to take back my life by standing up to the devil in the authority I have in Jesus.
- The enemy of our souls-the devil- will take every opportunity to bring destruction to us and to our family. He will pillage our lives until we stop him in the name of Jesus.
- I have to give God complete access and control of my life.
- I have to praise him for hearing and answering my prayer.
One of the most astounding things about being a child of the King is the promise he has made that, when we pray, he will hear us and will answer.Psalms 91:15-16 ( NIV )
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
Tell me how you faced a difficult or impossible situation and how God delivered you.
Until Next time;
