The Surprise of God!

I was supposed to blog about this siiiiinnnceeeee........ The first sunday of this month. Our thanksgiving service in House of Praise was the BOMMMMM!!! (as these young pple say) Nway, the praise was on point, so was the preaching by Pastor Jerry Olcson (I think thats the spelling)....

We read from Mark 16: 5-6 and the topic was - "The Surprise of God"

Notes:

Be not afraid. We must live a daily life with the knowledge that God delights in surprising his people. Some examples of God's surprise - Exodus 3 (Moses and the burning bush), Acts 16

Sometimes surprises are sooo big that when you see it, you will not be able to believe it just like when Peter was delievered from jail (even the people that were praying for him, did not believe that he had been rescued) I Pray that God will give us all that kind of surprise in Jesus name, Amen!

Let God be God!!!! People should NOT already or try to imagine how God will answer! Do NOT presuppose the way God will enter your situation. Don't try to figure Him out.

The surprise of God:
It is ALWAYS UNEXPECTED
It is ALWAYS UNDESERVED
It is ALWAYS UNPREDICTABLE ....don't try to predict your future
It is ALWAYS UNBELIEVEABLE ....this means, it will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!

To receive the surprise of God...
Believe that GOD CAN!!
Believe that GOD CARES!! ....in His heart
Believe that GOD BLESSES!! ....in His grace, that He will bless you in spite of yourself
Believe that GOD SAYS!! ....in His word

"In order to reach those who aren't being reached, you've got to be able to relate to them" Heb. 11:6, Rom. 10:10 The preacher said this when he was giving a testimony about his experience with drug dealers when he was a policeman some years back....

MAY GOD SURPRISE US ALL BEFORE THE YEAR RUNS OUT IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!!!
