this video was made especially for you we are celebrating 100,000 subscribers on our Channel and I want to sincerely thank everyone who watches our videos without you this channel wouldn't exist today I want to tell you that God will open paths in your life that you never imagined God is a way maker you've probably heard that right in Isaiah 43: 16 to 21 it says this is what the Lord says he who made a way through the sea a path through the mighty Waters who drew out the Chariots and horses the Army and reinforcements together
and they lay there never to rise again extinguished snuffed out like a wick forget the former things do not dwell on the past see I am doing a new thing now it Springs up do you not perceive it I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland the wild animals on me the jackals and the owls because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland to give drink to my people My Chosen the people I formed for myself that they may Proclaim my praise I have witnessed this facet
of God many times in my life especially when it seemed like all hope was lost over the years I have come to understand that God creates paths where there appear to be none he does not need anyone's approval to do so God acts miraculously and in his own time Lewis tells us that we are not the architects of Our Own Destiny the direction of Our Lives is not in our hands but we are always in God's hands and as it says in Jeremiah 29: 11 for I know the plans I I have for you declares
the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future when life knocks you down and throws you into a situation that seems to be your end remember that God always makes a way when you have traveled the paths of life and reached the end of the road remember that God will always open a way for you worry uncertainty and fear will not easily disappear you need to decide and affirm to yourself no matter what happens I will believe in God Lewis tells us that Christianity asserts that
every individual human being is a Divine Masterpiece thought of from all eternity for a unique place in the Divine economy when I say a unique place I mean a place that literally cannot be occupied but by anyone else and Christianity also asserts that the relationship of each soul to God is and must be an infinitely private and unique relationship God has individual attention for each Soul as if that Soul were the only Soul created he does not get distracted he does not get tired he not only knows and loves each soul but also shapes and
guides it creating paths and opportunities specifically for that Soul this is one of the great Mysteries of the Christian faith that a God who is infinitely great can also be infinitely small that he can be the Lord of all creation and at the same time be completely present with a single human being that is why we can trust that even when we are lost or confused God is creating a path for us a path that may be different from any other path he has ever created he is the author of our lives and as such
is constantly writing new stories opening New Paths and guiding Us in directions we could never have imagined your adversary the devil will not stop trying to keep you in the same situation if you start feeling that you overcame worry yesterday he will bring it back today as he constantly wants to bring bring you down Lewis in screw tape letters tells us that in periods of total desolation human beings have the opportunity to grow in a courage that would not have been possible in times of Peace faculties not employed in pleasure must be used to resist
despair faith can be practiced learned and strengthened precisely where it seems least likely this is the great opportunity but you must ensure that he never sees it that way present him with visions of terrible possible Futures instead of more feasible and real ones stimulate in his mind the foolish presumption that his decision is more important than his is and that his failures are final but remember that all victories no matter how small accumulative when you feel hopeless and helpless don't for forget that your God is a way maker he will make a way through the
desert and miraculously create new doors where you feel all doors have been closed against you as Psalm 34: 19 tells us the righteous person may have many troubles but the Lord delivers him from them all listen to these words from King David in Psalm 121: 1 two I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from my help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and Earth there is one being who gives help that being is God help may also come from men or you may help yourself but the question
for you today is who will help you when the only helpers you know are in trouble the most infallible help of all time comes from the Lord many of us are used to seeking help from our friends our family and everywhere except from the Lord your help does not come from the mountains or the hills it comes from the Lord God can use or not use anyone he wants to help you that is why you should not cultivate the habit of trying to decide for him how he should resolve your situations when the Israelites were
facing the Red Sea remember that God did not provide them with a cargo ship or a boat no one expected the instructions he gave to Moses he parted the waters and made them cross on dry ground instead of navigating God is still in the business of making roads in the sea I want you to know that no one can predict God some of your frustrations come from the fact that you have a particular rote you expect God to follow meanwhile God is calling your attention elsewhere stop trying to predict God for my thoughts are not
your thoughts neither are your ways my ways declares the Lord as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts these are verses 8 and N of Isaiah 55 you may Wonder wonder why I am talking so much about worry and fear it is because these two have the capacity to make anyone forget God's ability as it says in Matthew 6:34 therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself each day has enough trouble of its own in truth worry
will make you want to predict God this has caused many people to miss God's movement in their lives he will make a way for you and illuminate all the dark situations around you but you need to believe that Isaiah 43:16 says this is what the Lord says he who made a way through the sea a path through the mighty Waters beloved doing something new performing a miracle and making a way our all God's business your part is to trust and Obey if he says you should not worry or fear then you must trust him and
choose not to worry that sour relationship will be restored you will get the job you always wanted you will get into college you will find a soulmate and get married and you will be free of debt God is capable of doing these things and much more he has done it before and he has not changed build your Hope on him Trust trust him to make a way you see we all go through difficult situations in life most of which we cannot get rid of because what we face is greater than us I have a question
for you have you ever heard of a situation that fooled God you should reflect on that for in Jeremiah 32:27 it tells us I am the Lord the God of all mankind is anything too hard for me unpleasant situations that last a long time have the capacity to make someone feel abandoned and forgotten I heard someone say some time ago I have heard and read in the scriptures that nothing is impossible for God but my situation has lasted so long that I have to believe that some things are simply too difficult for God to do
it is normal to feel that way some Psalm 34:18 tells us the Lord is close to the Brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit and I know you will change the narrative when the Lord intervenes because I have personally tasted his Good Will and many others have experienced him in different dimensions so do not fear for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand Isaiah 41:10 God intervenes not when we want but in
his own time which is the most appropriate time he never leaves his children abandoned by the roadside he will guide you in his strength and lead you to your place of habitation because you are his redeemed let that sink into your mind God will not send you on a journey alone he will will guide the way and walk beside you Lewis tells us that we are not tempted beyond what we can bear God is faithful and when we are tempted he will also provide a way out so that we can endure it when he sent
the Prophet Elijah Elijah thought he would starve but God miraculously fed him through an Angel and even a raven remember the wife of one of the prophet's sons in the script scripture listen to what it tells us in 2 Kings 4: 1-7 the wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Alicia your servant my husband is dead and you know that he revered the Lord but now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves Elicia replied to her how can I help you tell me what do
you have in your house your servant has nothing there at all she said except a small jar of olive oil Alicia said go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars don't ask for just a few then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons pour oil into all the jars and as each is filled put it to one side she left him and afterward shut the door behind her and her sons they brought the jars to her and she kept pouring when all the jars were full she said to her
son bring me another one but he replied there is not a jar left then the oil stopped flowing she went and told the man of God and he said go sell the oil and pay your debts you and your sons can live on what is left was it God who sent the angel to Elijah yes was it God who sent the Raven to to feed him yes was it God who made the widows oil flow until it filled every borrowed jar yes yes it was was it God who did all these things yes he was
he made a way where all hope was lost he is the same yesterday today and forever what makes you think he cannot do that now in your situation God says in Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning from ancient times what is still to come I say my purpose will stand and I will do all that I please from the East I summon a bird of prey from a far off land a man to fulfill my purpose what I have said that I will bring about what I have planned that I will
do it is God who said he will make a way so why are you trying to cut paths and take on his role get out of God's way and let him do what he said he would do you cannot fulfill the Mandate he gave you on your own he knows that you cannot respond to his call and be effective in the place of your designation without him making a way for you what God said about you will break your neck if you try to do it with your own strength 1 Corinthians 10:13 says no temptation
has overtaken you except what is common to Mankind and God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear but when you are tempted he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it the world is full of activities and evil desires that seek to draw men to Eternal damnation for this reason when you are in Christ you face more of these Fierce tempt ations but God still does not abandon you as it says in Romans 8 verse 26 in the same way the spirit helps us in
our weakness we do not know what we ought to pray for but the spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans he stays with you and teaches you to say no to sin he strengthens you with his word and empowers you in the place of prayer to face all the Temptations to come and remember what two Timothy 2:22 encourages flee the evil desires of Youth and pursue righteousness Faith love and peace along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart I want you to know that every man faces Temptations and therefore
you are not alone Lewis tells us that faith in the sense in which which I am here using the word is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods if you are being tempted to give up on your faith someone has faced that same Temptation before in the Bible job faced it and many people faced it after him James 1: 2 to 4 tell us consider it pure joy my brother brothers and sisters whenever you face Trials of many kinds because you know that the testing
of your faith produces perseverance let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything I want you to pay attention to the phrase that says he will also provide a way out it is God who provides that way out not you the way out of that abusive relation relationship you have just been saved from may not be another relationship but staying alone with God and being healed if you start another relationship because you feel lonely you may get hurt again and not be able to get out of it sometimes
God creates a way out for you only for you to misinterpret the way he created and go back to what he is trying to free you from and remember how Psalm 32:8 encourages us I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go I will counsel you with my loving eye on you in essence I am trying to say that God is always making a way but are you always ready to see and follow that way or do you use the patterns of how he operated in the past to misinterpret his future
actions don't fall into that trap dear God's ways are not our ways his ways are unpredictable you need to believe to receive the manifestation of his promises as it says in Hebrews 11:1 now Faith is confidence in what we hope for and Assurance about what we do not see be encouraged in the Lord he will guide you have faith in the one who created the heavens and the Earth out of nothing the one who strategically structured the face of the Earth suspended between the waters above and the sea below is this same Creator incapacitated to
make a way for you no meditate on this and let your heart be encouraged today Isaiah 43: 19 shows see I am doing a new thing now it Springs up do you not perceive it I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland and then Lewis tells us this look for yourself and you will find in the long run only hatred loneliness despair rage ruin and Decay but look for Christ and you will find him and with him everything else thrown in I would like to invite everyone to enter into prayer
