Charles Stanley Sermon Notes: The Thrill Of Trusting God

Our life is all about faith. We live, & die by faith.

As long as we ask within God's will, He is more than happy to meet the needs, & desires of our heart.

1 Samuel 17:20-29, 43-48

God is willing to give you the capacity to see what the human eye can not see.

When you fully trust God, He gives you the capacity to see it completely finished.

Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees. Anxiety(in this case meaning worrying about our request) shows we aren't fully trusting God. Don't be anxious/worried about any request(s) you make. Fully trust God. If you're making a mistake about what you're asking, God will show you what the mistake is, & help you straighten it out. God wants you to know the truth about whatever is genuinely going on in your life. If you're genuinely seeking His will about something, He will show you.

To Fully Trust God:
1. Stop asking, & start thanking Him for it.
2. You can not have sin in your life. As long as you, & I can not fully trust God, it is evidence that there is something in our life that shouldn't be there. God will show you a "glimpse" of the finished product if we fully trust Him. However, we can not fully trust Him with sin in our life. The nature of sin disrupts our relationship with God. But remember, once you're saved by God's grace, & plan for your eternal salvation (Which is Jesus Christ), you can not ever lose your salvation. That's 100% eternal.

Fully Trusting God Requires:
1. A Clean Heart - The nature of sin doesn't allow us to fully trust God.
2. A Clear Mind - When your heart is clear, & there's no sin there, your mind is also clear. You see things you couldn't before.
3. A Pure Motive - An impure motive may mean anything sin-related.
4. Listening To God - You need to hear what God says to you about all things. You won't know if God is telling you something, if you don't listen to Him. This is also how we know if God is telling us yes/no on any given issue(s) for whatever reason(s) that He tells us. This is also how we know when God is telling us something is a done deal.
5. Staying Focused On God As Your Deliverer - Don't worry about any issues with your request. Keep your focus on God entirely. Not on any problems of your request(s).

Enemies of faith are:
Feelings, Sight, & Other People's Conversations. Going by what you feel, what you see, & most of what you hear, you won't get anything. Your focus must be on God. Remember that you're talking to Holy God, Who created us, & the entire universe.
