We can't outrun God!

3 reasons to stop running from God (Referring to the book of Jonah)


1.You can never go to a place better than God's will.
When God has plan for us, we better rise up.
No misfortune, no pain, trouble in store for our life.Numbers 23:21
God wants to bring us to a place of freedom but we fight it sometimes.
Anytime you run from God you're always going down.
The ways of God don't always look good to us.
Not every opportunity is from God.
Don't settle for good opportunities, good chances.

2.You can never go to a place where God cannot reach you.
God will always pursue you no matter where you are.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
When you disobey his will, you are running away from God.
It is impossible to disobey God's plan and maintain God's presence, It is impossible to disregard God's word and stay close to his person.
You can only be close to God if you obey his will.
We seek the image of Christianity, but leave the presence of God to do our own will.
You can't have God's presence when you disobey God's plan.

3.You can never go to a place where God's love cannot redeem you.
No matter how far you gone, the Lord will bring you back. Deuteronomy 30:2-4 ,
God has his arms open to us, waiting for us to come back to him with his grace and mercy! Daniel 9:9, Micah 7:18,

**********************************************************************************
How are you ignoring God's plan? Write them down in each category that applies and pray the applicable prayer(s). Remember God knows what best for us! Jeremiah 29:11-13

1. I am running away (disobeying) God in these ways:



Lord forgive me from running from you, I repent of my disobedience, I will obey your word, help me stop running and start living.

2.I am hiding from God in these ways:



Lord, I cannot hide from you. You know my thoughts and actions I confess to you today my sins, forgive me and cleanse me.

3. I am doubting God in these ways:



Lord forgive me for doubting your love, I trust that your plan is best, I accept your work in all things for good in my life, I yeild myself to you.
