God Desires Your Success - Part 2

London begin to enhance podcast internal world model ethics that bears little resemblance to have not defined today, you'll see the framework to achieve another title this message God desires your successes were evident in this passage that God desired that Joshua succeed in the trash that which God had called him God said to Joshua, I want you to take this also responsibility of the leadership of the nation of Israel over 2 million. I waited take them cross this Jordan in the promised land and win this land. This is the home of my people. So Joshua, you have a big responsibility is how you gonna do it and if you do not tell you, you will be successful. He said it twice, you will be successful if God were opposed to success.

He certainly would not have said this to Joshua. What a success from God's viewpoint success from God's viewpoint is this. It is a continuing desire to be the person God called me to be and to achieve those goals that God has helped me to set is the continuing desire to be the person that God wants me to be and to achieve the goals that God has helped me to set you cannot be successful and leave God out of your life. God is the one who determines what a success is not continued. If you have any other definition of success that leaves God out. That leaves out your growth in him.

That leaves out you listen you pursuing God-given goals and my friend, you have had it very important you not understand what success is all about is the continuing achieving of that life that God has provided for growing in our Christian life and then listen pursuing and establishing and accomplishing those God given goals. He desires that we separate line now proof of the fact threefold proof of the fact that God desires you to succeed and has provided for you to succeed planted out of. I know that God will join me to succeed, what we doing big is very interesting that the patterns of success. All the Scriptures in men and women alike who were willing to follow God's leadership and guidance of the plans and the goals that got it set for their life. Listen (to make the mistake of saying well, but you know I'm not one of those biblical characters right.

But here's what you know must think about an open country to get this this is a real comfort to me when we look for example life of Moses will also tremendously inspiring life it was but what you forget sometimes is 40 long years, 40 long as a whole generation of years.

All he did was feed sheep watch over sheep after the backside of the desert and absolutely nobody until he was ready and so we all don't have those moments and have those periods in a life, but is very clear from Scripture what God has done in the lives of those people and is still doing in the lives of people today. He listen he is still desiring and planning phase people, the succeed in whatever areas of life. He's called this the second thing that I think is proof of that.

And that is the way God has provided that you and I would be successful. Well first of all, he has given us the principles of success in the word of God is what I discovered without exception, every single solitary principle of success genuine principle of success.

Every single one of them came out of the Bible. Somebody was out there smart enough to pick him up and make a lot of money. The truth is God is the author of success.

God is the one who's given is the principles and as we go through this there is that you will find out every single principal success comes out of the Bible. If God put the principles of success in the Bible that he must intend that you and not utilize those principles and abide by remote. He said to Joshua, he said to slow Moses. He said you must meditate upon it day and night.

Don't turn to the left don't turn to the right to do exactly what he told you to do the principles of Scripture run from Genesis all going to the book of the Revelation. God is given as the principles he has provided and if we are wise enough to utilize them, remembering that God must enable us to set and establish our goal that we must depend upon trusting him to enable us to accomplish those that you can accomplish whatever God's going to do, but there's 1/3 reason. 1/3 proof that I believe that I God down desires that you not succeed at whatever he's called to do and that he's planted. Not only are those the passages of Scripture, the deal that with these men. Not only is the principles there, but also this just think for a moment how God has equipped you to be a success in your life. For example, every single believer has one or more spiritual gifts and maybe the gift of service administration giving our exhortation or mercy or whatever it might be the lots and lots of spiritual gifts. Seven.

Primary motivation gives so when you trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior God invalid you with those spiritual gifts. For example, let's say that you have the responsibility of administrating your business. What if you have a gift administration. You gonna do that much better than a person who does not.

God gifts us with those spiritual gifts that match listen his goal and purpose for alloy if somebody should said to me, will what is your spiritual get well soon and one amount is exhortation and that is God has gifted me to some degree, at least to be able to share the word of God and the passionate people can understand and recognize that it is the truth of God's word and so you have one or more spiritual gifts and so oftentimes people try to do things that are gifted to do all their put in positions where there they're not comfortable because that's not where they are in life and so God has given us spiritual gives want to give them because he wants you to succeed and what he calls you didn't like because… He wants you to do well and what you do in life. That doesn't mean that a person the gift of mercy could not be an outstanding pastor or all or speak well of whatever it might be on a person who is a teacher concert. Have the gift of mercy. So you can't say we only do what this get no God gifts us and calls us and equips us in order to accomplish what he wants us to accomplish. Now you knock envelopes, they will all nurses should have the gift of mercy.

All preachers should have the gift of exultation of prophecy. All business means that the gift of God giving our administration no God takes those gifts. What is in the he intertwines them and intermingles them into her life according to personality. According to his purpose and achievement. The things he wants us to achieve in life. So one of the evidences that he wants you to succeed desires that you succeed and his plan is that he has planned the spiritual gifts that you have so that they will fit what he wants you to do in life. The second way he's provided.

Is this when you not trusted Jesus Christ as their personal savior. He gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Now, as we said there many, many listen many many ministries of the Holy Spirit in your life and mine from comfort and so forth. But let's talk about some that have been success. One of them is certainly listen to give us a discerning spirit. What is a discerning spirit. Discerning spirit is one when a person is a discerning spirit they can discern, they had the perception they can know the reality of some incident further, is it not the truth is, this reality is this the wisest thing to do. A discerning spirit is on the work of the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit is the God is in the decision-making process. The Holy Spirit part of his ministry is to enable us to equip us with innocence spiritual energy emotional energy and spiritual energy to go about whatever he's called us to do so. He's given us the Holy Spirit to live on the inside of us to enable you and they to do what to do. Well what God's call is the does this mean that everybody should be wealthy.

No, this is me that there will never be inappropriate when life no doesn't mean that but it's it remains this there where ever I am and whatever God has chosen for my life. I am to believe within my heart that I'm to succeed at whatever he's called me to do, but primarily whatever he's called me to be first then to do. He's on my side. He's planned that he desires that whatever it may be. And so when I think about how God is provided because he's provided for us in spiritual gifts he's provided always for the third thing is provided. This is he's provided us the powerful privilege of prayer that whatever you trying to do in life. Whatever your goals, God's help you to set every single one of us listen has the privilege of bowing before God every single morning and saying, Lord, I need you to guide me today. I need you to help me today. I need you the strength to me today. I need a discerning spirit show me how to get along with this person that person show me father had a run of the troops show me dear God how to be the kind of motivational debate motivation to my family motivation. People I work the best. You and I have the most awesome privilege of crying out, calling to a sovereign, omnipotent God who controls this whole universe who delights to pleasure you who delights to prosper you who delights in making you success in God has made himself available 24 hours of every day to help you be common to accomplish what God's help to the desires of your competition to achieve now I have a real difficult time excusing anything before Almighty God when he's equipped us spiritually.

He's given us the Holy Spirit and we have the privilege of prayer. Now is one thing I mentioned the other things that 1/4 reason that I see here and 1/4 bird special blessing that he's given to every single one of us is this a real encouragement. He has inbred within every single one of us is the desire for success and what I want to tell you do is remember this, you are a God created God-given creature, God doesn't want you to give up. He doesn't want you to quit. He wants you to pursue the goals that he has established for your life. You don't give up you trust that you believe in your heart is now as he set the goals for you, but he is on your side. He has given you the principles maybe you don't know what they are and most of us grew up not knowing what they are. My friend God.

Listen, he desires you to succeed in he's plan that is threefold proof right there.

Not only as an example about the lives of these men the principles of success. All the Scripture and not only that, but he has equipped us. He has provided what we need not on the Holy Spirit in our gifts and the possibility of prayer that is has such also potential, but it's inbred within is given to us as a babe coming in this world.

What we do. That is the issue that one last thing is is that is God's promised listen he's promised. The success now to listen carefully so you say will have. He promised to me.

Somewhere along the way he messed up, no he hasn't messed up, turned to the last book about Revelation go back to Jude and third John Neff. I should ask the last time you read third John. Some of you and even though it's India third John Revelation Jude 3rd John this little passage Scripture here with only 14 verses because one verse work at all because here I believe is a real key with what he says, verse two third John beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. Now the Bible uses two terms success and prosper. Most of the time it uses the word prosper but it's the same idea because in that 39 chapter the Genesis of the Bible is talking about the chosen and not verse two he speaks in terms of the success but in verse three he is the term prosper that he prosper in all the did he succeeded in it. So when the Bible talks about prospering us. He's talking about and succeeding in life, whatever it might be to guess what he says that he is the key, he says, I pray that in all respects that is in every aspect of your life, you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers a massive question.

I watch this. How many would be willing to say to God today Lord in this year is what I'm I'm asking you. I want you to prosper me financially in my vocation in my relationships in my finances. I want you to prosper me in every aspect of my life in proportion to my spiritual growth. Now this what you don't want to miss.

Listen God may plan your success. He may desire success, but your success has conditions to it. God's not just gonna make you want in spite of you. He's not going to say when the union does take handouts. You don't have to work you just retire at 30 is a major memo for parents.

When I see slothfulness and and sloppy and the laziness I am telling you right, you listen you can't be lazy and been the will of God you can't be slothful be the will of God because, listen at the moment in your life what you cease to be stretched what you cease to grow in your spiritual life at that point something's wrong. He says with a steel bear fruit in our old age till the last minute of it because that God desires that you not been success with the condition upon condition upon what number one that I establish the goals for my life that God is help me to set condition upon that and so is what happens.

The people there get little idea and take off forgetting the fact listen. My success in your success is based on principle number one that you and I establish God given goals that he would have a set.

You know what it may have nothing to do with money know what's this I want to come. The money part one of his sermons but may have nothing to do with money. You know what when you knock on the will of God will provide everything he desires frozen (for the greatest prize but number one first condition, as the psalmist established God-given goes second condition is this almost walk obediently before God in the process of accomplishing those goals. How can I expect God to help me to succeed in life. When I choose to absolutely violate the principles of the word of God. So know it. Condition number one I have his goals. Condition number two that I'm walking obediently in the process of pursuing that goal and principle number three is this, that, in reliance upon the Holy Spirit. I practice those godly principles of success which he has given us clearly in the Scripture, so therefore can't be slothful can't be a doubt can't be a selfish can't build a one-man show on do it myself cooperation very very important in the whole idea of success so I will do three things. I'm an established God-given goes on in the local bidding and before him. And thirdly on the file) was a God given to us in Scripture.

Now you know what you've heard enough truth today. You've heard enough truth today. If you have trusted Jesus Christ as your personal savior and you just take what you heard today and apply friend you listen you cannot remain where you are not only be a challenge. I will challenge you to think about this message from moment, I will challenge you to get out a piece of paper and a pen and ask yourself three questions. Where am I in my relationship to God where mine my spiritual rotted out backslidden drifting away from God. Haven't been reading the Scripture have a been going to church doing the best I know how obeying God as best I can. Whatever it might be. Secondly, where am in my finances. Look at your debt. Look at your assets. Where are you. Thirdly, where am I in my vocation satisfied where I am in my den here in an area that I should even been out tomato vocation that God has called me to answer the question and then ask yourself this question. Where can I be within a year. Where could I possibly be if I surrendered my life to Christ and in the basis of this message that I've heard today. Where could I be within a year if I turned my life over to God and that him establish my goals and by his spirit attempt to walk the Christian life and follow the principles that I know that I can discover the word of God. Where will not be, I can tell you this, you will be where you are. You will be so far ahead of where you are.

You may some feeds but you're not a failure because you see it's in that struggle, God will grow you.
