*We’ve been* *ministering on* *the subject of* *God turning your situation around*.
*Many* *of us are* *going through* *different* *adverse situations* *and* *there will be* *more storms ahead*.
*We* *don’t have to be overcome* *by those situations*, *but we* *can have victory* *over all the storms in life*.
*I) **Turn* with me to *2COR 4:18*
*A) **Paul tells us* *here that* *we are* *not* *to look at the things* *that are* *seen*, *but* *to the things* *that are* *not seen*.
*1) **We are not* *to be looking* *to the problems* that *we are going through*.
*(a) **Those things* *are* *only temporal* *if we’ll do what the Bible tells us* *in* (*HEB 12:2*) *and* *that is* *to be* *“**Looking to the Lord Jesus Christ*.*”*
*(b) **If we’re looking to God* *and* the Lord *Jesus* Christ, *God will turn your situation around*.
*2) **Now*, *we* *have to* *use wisdom*.
*(a) **Let’s say* *you* *have* a *financial need* *and* *God blesses* *you* *with* *the* *money* *to pay the bill*, *you* *don’t* *want to* *spend* that *on something else*.
*(b) **Sometimes things* *might be a little* *more* *complicated* *and* *you* *don’t know what to do*.
*(i) **But* (*James 1:5*) *says*, *“**If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him*.*”*
KJV
*(ii) **If you need wisdom* *ask God for it* *and* *believe that He will give you* that *wisdom*, *and* *you will have it*.
*B) **Back in our scripture* *here* *in* (*2COR 4:18*) *God is telling us not to look at the things* *that are* *seen*, *but* *at the things* *that are* *not seen*.
*1) **God can* *and* *will work behind the seen*.
*(a) **The reason I say that God will work behind the seen is that there is another realm of existence besides this natural realm*, and *that’s the realm* that *God works*.
*(i) **If we place our trust in God* *to turn your situation around*, *it’s done in the spirit*.
*It’s done in the spirit realm*.
*(a) **It may take some time* *for it* *to manifest* *in* *this* *natural realm*.
*(ii) **That’s why Paul instructs us* in (*HEB 6:12*) *to have faith and patience*.
*(iii) **If we lose our faith* *or* *our patience* *we stop the miracle from manifesting* *in* this *natural realm*.
*2) **We have to continue* *to stand in faith*, *knowing that God is turning our situation around*.
*(a) **Do you know what I mean* *when I say*, “*Stand in Faith*?”
*(i) **True Biblical faith* *is only based on the Word* of God.
*(ii) **We have to get into the Word* *and* *find a promise that God made* *that refers to our situation* *and hold on to it*.
*(iii) **Knowing that if God said it*, *He will bring it to pass*.
*3) **Turn to* *HEB 1:13-14*
*(a) **In the unseen realm* *there are angles*, *ministering spirits*, *who are sent by God to minister FOR the heirs of salvation*.
*That’s you and I*.
*(b) *The *NIV* *translation* *says*, *“**Are not all angels ministering spirits SENT TO SERVE those who will inherit salvation?**”*
(*Hebrews 1:14*) NIV
*(i) **God has sent His angels to work in our behalf*.
*4) **If God opened our eyes* *to see in the spiritual realm* *we would see multitudes of angelic beings that have been assigned to us by the Lord*.
*(a) **They are there for the specific purpose of ministering to us* *and* *for us* *in our daily lives*.
*(i) **God is working right now to change our situation*.
*(b) **But our faith*, *patience*, *and* *our confession* *will greatly influence the results that we receive*.
*(i) **Paul said* that *it’s through our faith and patience* *that causes us to receive* the promises.
*(ii) *(*Proverbs 18:21*) *says*, *“**Death and life are in the power of the tongue*.*”
*
*(a) **If we speak words of life*, *the Word of God* *over our situation*, *it enables God and His angles to bring in the promises of God*.
*(b) **But* *if we’re speaking* out *the problem*, *words of doubt*, *it hinders God from moving* in our lives.
*II) *Now *sometimes* *people* will *say*, *“**Well if I could just see into the spirit realm* *and see what God is doing*, *then I could rest assured*.*”*
*A) **There is a way* that *you can see into the spirit*, *and* *that’s with the EYE OF FAITH*.
*1) **The world might tell you* that *it’s all over*, that *there’s no hope*, there’s *no way out*.
*(a) **But you and I* *can laugh* *and* *reply*, *“**You don’t see what I see*, *you don’t know what I know*.*”*
*2) **When you’re under the greatest pressure* *don’t surrender* *don’t quit*.
*It’s time to rejoice*.
*(a) **Sure*, *the devil may have lunched* his *fiery attacks* *against you*, *but if you take the* *SHIELD OF FAITH* *you will be able* *to QUENCH EVERY FIERY DART OF THE WICKED*.
*(b) **What do I mean by* “*TAKE THE SHIELD OF FAITH*”*?*
*(i) **Know that God will see you through to VICTORY*.
*3) **During the time* that *Paul was in prison*, *he had* this *same* kind of *confidence in God* that *we’re talking about*.
*(a) **He knew* that *God was going to see him through to victory*.
*4) **That’s why he could write* in (*PHIL 1:19*) “*For I know that this shall turn to my salvation*.”
KJV
*(a) **We need to have the same knowing* *that God will turn our situation around*.
*III) **Turn* with me *to* *ROM 12:1-2*
*A) **Most of the time* *this V is used in teaching that we need to get our minds renewed to the Word* of God.
*1) *And *that is very true*.
*The only way that we’re going to be able to have faith in God* *to turn our situation around* *is for us to have God Word in us*.
*(a) **We should have God’s Word in us to such a degree* *that when something negative happens* *the* *1st* *thing* *OUT OF OUR MOUTH* *is the Word* *of God*.
*(b) **We should have God’s Word in us to such a degree* *that the* *1st* *thing* *TO OUR MIND* *is that God will turn this to victory*.
*B) **Listen to how the* *LIVING BIBLE* puts it, (*Romans 12:2*) *“**Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world*,*”*
*1) **What are* the *Behaviors and Customs* *of the world**?*
*(a) **Any time* *something bad happens*, *they become* *ANGRY*, *BITTER*, but *most of all* *they become NEGATIVE*.
*2) **Paul says*, “*Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think*.”
*(a) **Paul says* that *there is to be something new and different about us*.
*We are to have a FRESH NEWNESS IN ALL WE DO* *and* *THINK*.
*(b) **Instead of being ANGRY* *we should REJOICE*, *instead of being BITTER* *we should have the ATTITUDE OF EXPECTANCY*, and *instead of being NEGATIVE* *we should be POSITIVE*, *POSITIVE that GOD WILL COME THROUGH*.
*3) **Let me read* to you *the last part of* (*ROM 12:2*) *from* the *LIVING BIBLE*, *“**Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you**.”*
TLB
*(a) **Once you have turned* the *NEGATIVE ATTITUDE into a POSITIVE one*, *once you put on JOY*, *and* *the ATTITUDE OF EXPECTANCY*, *God says* *then* *your will be satisfied**.*
*(b) **WHY*?
*Because then you will see the miracle hand of God* *turn your situation around*; *all your need will be met*.
