Introduction

No matter how bad you have been hurt in your past, and no matter how many people have hurt you in your past BUT you must now learn to fully trust God with both yourself and with your entire life.

CON’T The Bible gives us several lessons on why we should fully trust God and this include: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct

your paths,” (Proverbs 3:5) “Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon His God.” (Isaiah

50:10)

Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but her leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:5)

“Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help … Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God … Who keeps truth forever, who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry.” (Psalm 146:3-7)

“He who trusts in his riches will fall …” (Proverbs 11:28) “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in

the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (1 Timothy 6:17-19)

.

Cont “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.” (Psalm 125:1)

“He trusted in the Lord God of Israel … For he held fast to the Lord; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments … The Lord was with him; he prospered wherever he went.” (2 Kings 18:5-7)

CON’T “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever

trusts in the Lord shall be safe.” (Proverbs 29:25) “But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the

land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.” (Isaiah 57:13)

“A good man will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.” (Psalm 112:5-8)

INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS OF TRUSTING GOD

Some of the incredible blessings that are attached to being able to fully trust in God:

You will be happy You will not walk in darkness – but in the light of

God God will direct your paths in the life You will be like Mount Zion – you will not be able to

moved You will prosper wherever you go

Con’t You will always be yielding fruit for the Lord Your mind will be at perfect peace i.e. you will not

be afraid of evil tidings Your heart will remain steadfast in the Lord You will have no want – you shall not lack any good

thing You shall be safe in your surroundings You shall possess the land and inherit the holy

mountain of God

Brethrens there is only one way to live in life and that is operating under a full and complete surrender with the Lord. This is because the LORD JESUS will lead and direct your life in the specific direction that He will want you to go in. thus, the one thing that will kick this full surrender into full gear is your decision to fully TRUST GOD with every single area of your life, holding absolutely nothing back from Him!
