WHO IS YOUR ROCK

"WHO IS YOUR ROCK?"

PSALMS 40:2

HE BROUGHT ME UP ALSO OUT OF AN HORRIBLE PIT, OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY, AND SET MY FEET UPON A ROCK,

AND ESTABLISHED MY GOINGS.

THE SOUND OF PAINFUL SILENCE

How many times do you feel alone, and in agony? You feel you are going through life all alone, and no one sees what you're going through, or that you are going through your journey with no purpose or direction? Being afraid to go forward you just cry out to God with the hopes that He hears you, or understands your pain, and sorrow! Feeling so alone with no one to talk to, because you feel your prayers are landing on def ears! GOD DOES HEAR YOUR PRAYERS! 

PSALMS 28:1 - Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, I become like them that go down into the pit.

TROUBLED TIMES

Life can be difficult, and at times down right unfair. No mater how hard you try, and pray - you think God isn't listening. You are patiently waiting for the Lord to answer your prayer, but you keep feeling your feet slipping - like they are sinking in sinking sand. You tie a knot at the end of your rope with the hopes you don't fall into the deep pit that you are so afraid of.

God IS listening. He hears you loudly, and clearly. But, the Lord wants you to totally surrender to Him, so he can hide you in his pavilion, His place of royalty: in the secret of His tabernacle - the center of His tabernacle where you can worship Him. That place is His solid ground, His rock! He can be the foundation of your journey. YOUR ROCK! But, you have to totally surrender to Him.

PSALMS 27:5 - For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall He hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION

By you totally surrendering your life to Him - trusting Him - having faith in Him, you are building your house deep, and on a solid rock. You become as strong as the foundation you are trusting in. You'll go through tough times, but your house will be strong. Life's waves won't shake you, because your feet are planted on a solid rock. HE BECOMES THE ROCK YOU STAND ON! The rock of your salvation.

LUKE 6:48 - He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

FOR HIS NAME SAKE

By putting the Lord first in your life you are making Him your foundation, and your fortress. You are placing your feet on His solid rock. He will direct your path. You will not feel alone, or afraid, because you will feel that rock under your feet. Your path is secure in Him. 

PSALMS 31:3 - For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

LISTEN & DO

The more you listen to Him, and the more you follow His path that he has chosen for you, the easier it becomes to keep your house on that solid ground. Your house becomes a solid foundation, on a rock, and you can not be moved.

MATTHEW: 24-25 - 24) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25) And the rain decended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

IN SPIRIT & IN TRUTH

JOHN 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

You can't worship the Lord, and sin - and expect Him to answer your prayers. The Lord will see right through you. He knows your every sin. That sin will keep you from getting closer to him. Your foundation will not be strong. If your foundation is not built, and laid properly on Him then you will continue to feel distant from Him.

THAT ROCK IS JESUS CHRIST.

I CORINTHIANS 10:4 - And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock is Christ.

Jesus needs you to have faith, and trust Him so He can be the rock of your salvation. You have to want him to be your defence, so you can not be moved. But, you have to want His strong hold, that will not come from anywhere else where you've been looking. I ask you this - has anything you've been trying working? Is your strength as strong as Jesus' strength?

PSALMS 62:6 - He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

If you don't know Jesus as your Lord, and Savior, receive Him now! Just ask Him into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins - (your wrong doings.)

ROMANS 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
