*Today* I want to *start a new series*; at least I think that it’s going to be a new series.
I guess that if I had to put a *title* on this series I would call it “*Turning Your Situation Around*.”
*Many times in life we face different ADVERSITIES*, *but* through *God* we *can turn those situations around*.
*What the Devil meant for bad*, *God will turn those things around* for His Glory.
*DEFEAT* will be *turned around* *to VICTORY*, *if* WE’LL KEEP OUR *EYES ON JESUS*.
*I) *Turn with me to *PRO 13:12*
*A) *Then in (*Proverbs 12:25*) it says, “*Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop*…” KJV
*1) **Notice* that in these passages the *Lord reveals* to us *2 things* *that have an effect on the Heart*.
*(a) **When* the *bible speaks* *of* the *HEART* of a person, it’s *not usually referring to* the *physical* *organ* that pumps blood, *but* *generally* it *refers* to the *SPIRIT OF A PERSON*.
*2) *So *when it says* that *hope deferred* *makes the heart sick*, *it is saying* that *hope deferred* *makes* the *spirit* man *sick*.
*(a) **Meaning* that the *spirit* is *not operating properly*, *something is wrong*.
*When Hope* has *been deferred* it *weakens* the *human spirit*.
*B) **Our spirit* *is like a creative computer*.
*It will produce whatever we program into it*.
*1) **If we continually program* *into our spirit* *negative things*, *evil things*, *bad things*, *undesirable things*, then *that is exactly* *what our spirit will produce*.
*(a) **This is a spiritual law*.
But *don’t* just *take my word for it*.
Let’s *look at the Word* of God to see if it’s true or not.
(Our spirit is like a creative computer.)
*2) *Turn to *MATT 12:34*
*(a) **That means* that *whatever we put into our heart*, *into our spirit*, *will eventually* *come forth* *out of our mouths*.
*3) *Now look at *MARK 11:23*
*(a) **Let me ask you this*, *where is it* that *you do your believing*?
*(i) **Jesus said*, “*Shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe*.”
*(ii) **If doubt takes place in your heart* *or* in your *spirit*, *where does faith* *or* *believing* *take place*?
*(b) *Look at *ACTS 8:35-37*
*(i) **Notice* that *he said* in (*V 37*), “*If thou believest with all thine heart* *or spirit*.”
*(c) **Paul said* in (*Romans 10:9*) “*That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt **believe in thine heart** that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved*.”
KJV
*(i) **Notice* *again* that *believing* *or* *faith* *takes place in the heart* or *spirit*, *not* in your *head*.
*4) **I like* how the *DARBY Translation* words (*Mark 11:23*).
Listen to it.
“*Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him*.”
DARBY
*(i) **Do you believe* *that what you say takes place*?
*(ii) **If you do*, *it will come to pass*.
*(b) **You have to* *believe in your heart*, *in your spirit* *that whatever you say will happen*.
*C) **Now how are you going to get to the place that you believe in your heart*, in your *spirit*?
*1) *(*Romans 10:17*) Says, “*So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God*.”
KJV
*(a) **The more you hear it*, *the more it’s going to go down into your spirit*, *and* *once it’s down in your spirit* *2 things are going to happen*.
*(i) **1st* *you’re going to believe it*.
And *2nd* *it’s going to come out of your mouth*.
*(ii) **When those 2 elements are there*, (*you believe it in your heart* *and* *you speak it out of your mouth*) *it’s going to come to pass*.
*II) **The Word of God* *says* that *Hope Deferred makes the heart sick*, *or* *you could say* *that a sense of HOPELESSNESS* *causes the spirit of man to function in a way other than what God intended*.
*A) **When our hope has been lost* *not only is our spirit made sick*, *but our outlook* *is affected*; *our future* *looks dismal*.
*1) **As a result of that* *we become depressed*, *disheartened*, and *discouraged*.
*2) **When we lose hope* *we lose the Power to Create the positive things* that *we want to see* come to pass *in our lives*.
*B) **Many people* *in our society* *today* *are hopeless* *because of what they have heard* *or* *have been told*.
*1) **The media gives us* *daily reports* *on* *how bad things are*.
*Just about everything* that *the news tells us* *is bad news*.
*(a) **It might be negative reports about the economy*, the *political system*, *crime*, *terrorism*, *morality*, or things on the *international scene*.
*(b) *If we take on *a steady diet of that* it’s going to *cause heaviness in the heart*.
*We’ll begin to lose hope* and *our spirit will become sick* *or* *function in a negative way*.
*2) **But thank God* that *the news media* *is not the FINAL WORD*.
*III) **The Christian*, *true believers* *should be very positive people*.
*WHY*?
*A) **Because* *we have the WORD OF GOD* *and* *the PROMISES of God*.
*1) *(*2 Peter 1:4*) Says, “*Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises*.”
*2) *Look at *2COR 1:20*
*(a) *“*YEA*” and “*AMEN*” *means* “*AFFIRMATIVE*” and “*SO BE IT*.” *You can’t get any more positive than that*.
*(b) **I’m not talking about* “*Positive Thinking*.”
*I’m talking about* *the POWER of the LIVING WORD OF GOD* *dwelling in our hearts*.
*(i) **God’s Word* *will cause us* *to be hope-filled*, *positive*, *creative*, *people*-*which the children of God are supposed to be*.
*3) **A Christian is not hopeless*.
On the contrary, *a true believer is filled with hope*.
*(a) **When we take on that hopelessness*, *we cannot be creative*, *we cannot be productive*, *we cannot reach the goals*, *fulfill the purpose*, *and* *carry out the plans God’s called us to* as His ambassadors.
*(i) **We can’t* *fulfill God’s plan* *if we’ve lost our hope* *and feel defeated*.
*(ii) **Part of His plan for us* *is to receive His promises*.
*(b) **God has a plan for our lives*.
*He has a purpose for us*.
*He has victories for us to achieve*.
*(i) **God is not the author of failure or defeat*, *but of victory and triumph*.
*(ii) *But *in order to reach those goals*, *we must have great and positive expectations*.
*(iii) *Look at *JAMES 1:17*
*(c) **Expect* that *something good is going to happen* to you.
*4) **My hope*, *my faith*, *and* *my expectations* *are based on the Living Word of God*.
*(a) *In (*JOHN 17:17*) *Jesus said* in reference to the father, “*Thy Word is Truth*.”
*(i) **1 dictionary* *defines* the word “*TRUTH*” *as* “*The highest form of reality that exists*.”
*(b) **What the doctors says*, *what your banker may say*, *what the news media may say* *is not necessarily untrue*.
*(i) **When the news media says* that the *stock market* is *down 60 points*, that’s *not untrue*.
*(ii) **But we have a Higher form of reality* *and that is the Word of God*.
*B) *Turn with me to *2COR 4:18*
*1) *The *things* that you *see* *around you*, the *situation* that *you’re in* *is subject to change*.
*(a) **But Pastor*, *you don’t know my situation*.
*(i) **The doctor says* that *it’s hopeless*, *my banker says* that *it is impossible to come out of this*.
*(b) **With God all things are possible*.
*(i) *In (*Luke 18:27*) *Jesus said*, “*The things which are impossible with men are possible with God*.”
KJV
*(ii) **Jesus said* in (*Mark 9:23*) “*If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth*.”
KJV
*2) **Don’t go around thinking* that *something bad is going to happen to you*.
*3) **Believe that something good is going to happen to you*.
*Believe what the Word of God says about you*.
*Believe that God is going to bring His promises to pass in your life*.
