Part 2
Ex 5:18 Now get back to work! You will not be given any straw, but you must still make the same number of bricks.”
- Pharaoh – Satan
- Egypt – The type of the world
- Slavery – Type of Sin
- Chains – Problems / Suffering
- The Children of God were in a mess.
Exo 5:12 So the people went all over Egypt looking for straw. Exo 5:13 The slave drivers kept trying to force them to make the same number of bricks every day as they had made when they were given straw. Exo 5:14 The Egyptian slave drivers beat the Israelite foremen
- Pharaoh put more on them. This is what the enemy does. He put more on you.
- The enemy has a way of keep on piling more, pushing more, hurting more and breaking more.
When bad become unbearable deliverance takes place
- The Devil never leaves bad for enough along, but then he comes with another thing and another thing.
- At some point when bad becomes unbearable it is going to turn your hart back to God
- The Devil is always overplaying his hand. He pushes and pushes until bad becomes unbearable.
- What he doesn’t realize is he’s pushing you right into God’s grace!
- Enough is Enough. We need God again back into our life’s
- Bad has just become unbearable. I can’t take it anymore. That is when you turn to God.
- Drugs – takes you from bad to unbearable.
- It is so unbearable that we need God today.
Psa 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to workfor they have made void thy law.
Psa 119:126 It is time for you to act, O LORD
It is time for God to work.
God response when things really gets bad because we turn to Him.
Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Isa 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
When bad become unbearable deliverance takes place. When bad becomes worst God is at his best.
Isa 59:19b When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
There is a valley we all experience from time to time called “unbearable.” There is bad…and there is another level beyond bad called ‘unbearable.’
GOD is still GOD even in the ‘unbearable’ seasons of life and there is a way to be prepared for what to do when bad becomes unbearable. Satan thinks that if he can keep you discouraged that you will give up. But when we turn back to GOD and call out to HIM with all that is within us…WE HOLD ON…and GOD shows up again.
Acts 3:19 (GW) So change the way you think and act, and turn [to God] to have your sins removed.
Acts 3:19 (MSG) “Now it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you,
There is a point where bad becomes unbearable – then we turn to God.
Luk 15:13 En nie baie dae daarna nie het die jongste seun alles bymekaargemaak en weggereis na ‘n ver land. En daar het hy sy eiendom verkwis deur losbandig te lewe. Luk 15:14 En toe hy alles deurgebring het, kom daar ‘n swaar hongersnood in daardie land, en hy het begin gebrek ly. Luk 15:16 En hy het verlang om sy maag te vul met die peule wat die varke eet, en niemand het dit aan hom gegee nie. Luk 15:17 Maar hy het tot homself gekom en gesê: Hoe baie huurlinge van my vader het oorvloed van brood, en ek vergaan van honger! Luk 15:18 Ek sal opstaan en na my vader gaan, en ek sal vir hom sê: Vader, ek het gesondig teen die hemel en voor u,
Niks het verander in die verlore seun se lewe totdat dit ondraaglik geword het nie.
