IF YOU’VE ever experienced a storm, you'll know it never leaves you without a list of things to clean up.

The STORM of LIFE put David in a difficult position when his men picked up rocks to throw at him.

Previously, the Amalekites had plundered his camp and taken his family and the families of his men captive. So he asked God if he could pursue them.

And God said, “Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will certainly rescue [the captives].” (1 Samuel 30:8)

THE SECRET to having is asking, but it comes with a condition.

You ask [God for something] and do not receive it, because you ask with wrong motives [out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda], so that [when you get what you want] you may spend it on your [hedonistic] desires. (James 4:3)

Now that you know, ask with the right motive.

IF THERE'S a place to ask God questions, it's at a crossroads.

Moses was at a crossroads in his life when he heard God say that he would go back to Egypt to rescue His people.

When God told him to tell His people that the God of their forefathers had sent him, He wanted them to know that they had a history and that He had been writing their story.

The fact that you do not know God does not mean he does not know you. God knew before you were formed in the womb.

So he asked, “WHO AM I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:11)

GOD does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called. Anyone he calls, he equips. (Hebrews 13:20-21)

Anyone God calls, he equips.

And in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power]. (Colossians 2:10)

So GOD said to Moses, “I will be with you, and this will be the sign to you that it is I who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” (Exodus 3:12)

The essence of intervention in your life is that you might worship Him. The immensity of His worth is demonstrated in your worship.

GOD made him a promise. He makes promises to reward those who follow him. (Hebrews 11:6)

Has God made you a promise? He intends to keep it. His miracles are signs that God is with you.

If I come to the ISRAELITES and tell them the God of their fathers sent me to them, and they ask what is your name, what will you have me say? (Exodus 4:1)

He said to God, “Who are you?”

To be an adequate representative of God, you must know Him. To know Him is to serve Him.

To Know God is to serve Him

Knowing GOD comes from spending time with Him as you become the one you seek.

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.

God is not offended when we ask Him questions, but He becomes angry when we fail to move beyond that point.

THE REASON we fail at times is that we do not prepare.

Joseph was able to escape the trap of Potiphar’s wife because he had prepared for it.

(Genesis 38:12-16)

He did not consult with anyone. His convictions were adequate. They were there before the temptation.

Moses said to God, WHAT IF they say, the Lord has not appeared to you.

This question was a legitimate one. The Israelites had gone through so much.

If PEOPLE questioned Jesus’ call, it isn't out of place if they question yours. If God sends you, His unction will be over your life.

God was prepared for Moses, so he told him to throw his rod on the ground.

As soon as he did, it transformed into a snake, and when he picked it by the tail, it reverted into a rod.

SIGNS and WONDERS have their place. Some will not believe except they see the wonders of God in your life.

Jesus said to one official, “Unless you [people] see [miraculous] signs and wonders, you [simply] will not believe.” (John 4:48)

No wonder the apostles prayed that God would extend His hand to heal, and signs and wonders (attesting miracles) take place through the name [and the authority and power] of God’s holy Servant and Son Jesus.” (Acts of the Apostles 4:10)

Bringing it Together

GOD has spoken to you and exalted His Word above His name. (Psalm 138:2)

He has promised to be with you. He will not leave or forsake you.
