<div class="SSN_title">"SEPARATED FROM GOD"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">When prayers are not answered or things go wrong, how quick we are to blame God. There can be several reasons, selfish motivations. God's will delay.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "THE LORD'S HAND IS NOT SHORTENED, THAT IT CANNOT SAVE."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The problem is not on the upper side.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. God is able "His hand is not shortened."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Surely He who formed the body from the dust of the earth is able to make minor adjustments or major for that matter.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Key to Abraham's faith, "being fully persuaded..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Paul's confidence in God's ability.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. "For I know whom..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. "Now unto Him who is able..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. Sometimes when prayers not answered we think "Maybe that's too much to ask."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. God can save us from any crisis.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Maybe the problem is that He can't hear.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. "Neither is His ear heavy that He cannot here."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Elijah to prophets and priests of Baal, "Cry louder perhaps your god is sleeping."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. This is never the case with Jehovah, "He who watches Israel neither slumbers or sleeps."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He hears the prayers of our hearts.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Eleazer, "before I had finished speaking in my heart," Rebekah.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. "YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The problem lies at our own door.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Separation from God is the inevitable consequence of sin.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. In garden of Eden "Adam where art thou?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Not the call of an arresting officer but the cry of a heart broken Father.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. When God laid on Jesus Christ "the iniquities of us all" the cry "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. This is not difficult to grasp. If God would continue to answer my prayers while I was deliberately walking in sin, He would be condoning my sin. God cannot look upon sin" i.e.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. "He will not hear."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. It's not that He cannot hear.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Many of the things we have asked for, God desires to give to us.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. God wants to save you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. God delights to answer your prayers.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. "Let the wicked man forsake His way and the unrighteous man..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Peter-prayers hindered. (?)</div>
