Episode Details

God, if you’re in it, I want it – If you’re not, I don’t.

Seek God’s hand.

Moses said to God in Exodus 33:15, “Lord, if you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.”
MSG – Lord, if your presence doesn’t take the lead here, call this trip off right now.”

GOD I WANT YOUR HAND, AND ONLY YOUR HAND. IF IT’S NOT BY YOUR HAND, I DON’T WANT IT, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT LOOKS.

4 examples of what “Hand of the Lord” means:

1. Ezekiel 1: 1-3, “The heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. I felt the hand of the Lord take hold of me.”

• Commissioning for a task – 2:3, “I am sending you!”

• Prophetic revelation – God showed him exactly what would happen, what to do and what to say

• Divine empowerment (strength, miracles) – Ezekiel means “Strengthened by God”

2. Ezra 8:31, “And the gracious hand of our God protected us and saved us from enemies and bandits along the way.”

• Protection from enemies

3. Nehemiah 2:8, “And the king granted these requests, because the gracious hand of God was on me.”

• Favor with leaders or authorities

4. Luke 1:66 – speaking of John the Baptist, “For the hand of the Lord was surely upon him in a special way.”

• Commissioning for a task – Sent on a mission

PRAY FOR GOD’S HAND – THE PRAYER OF JABEZ

1 Chronicles 4:10, “He was the one who prayed to God, ‘Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, THAT YOU HAND WOULD BE WITH ME, and that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!’ So God granted him what he requested.”

GOD’S ANSWER

Isaiah 41:10 TPT, “Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand.”

Do not yield to fear – let fear go first while you wait. NO!
Never turn your gaze from God – look for God, turn to God, seek him ALWAYS
God is faithful – forever, even when I am not. He’s always right here, always near.
Infused with God’s strength – His strength is poured in me and I then have what I could never have on my own
Help in every situation – that means THIS situation – there is help for me here, and God is that help
Held FIRMLY in his victorious right hand – I’m safe and secure here and there’s guaranteed victory for me
