Pastor Ismael Melendez
Isaiah 43:18, 19 - Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
1 am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am
making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
1. What do you see whne you view your life?
2. D you see possibiliites or problems?
Notice what God said: “I am making a way in the desert and steams in the
wasteland.”
In order to discover what God wants for you, you Must First See Yourself as God
Sees You.
Some even believed that God would never have anything more to do with them.
But they are wrong!
Psalm 85: 6-8 Will You not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Show us your mercy, Lord and grant us your salvation. I will hear what God the
Lord will speak,
You may feel like your past has made your life a wasteland but in God, your life
can become a stream of life.
Romans 8:1, 2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free
from the law of sin and death.
Colossians 1:21, 22 And you, who once were alientaed and enemies in yoru
mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh
through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His
sight.
In order to discover what God wants for you, You Must See Your Possibilites as
God Sees Them I am making a way in the desert. God is able to transform the
desert areas of your life into fields of flessing and abundance. God can take a
dried up useless life and transform it into a life of purpose and grace.
