Prayer:What are you stealing from God?

I heard a pastor while vacationing a few weeks ago speaking on ASA one of the king of Israel. Asa for the most part was a great king until he started turning away from God He was bitter and he refused to ask God for help when he was ailing in his final days…So that is where these points  are going to come from….

 

You are telling God….

  • He’s not powerful enough
  • He’s not smart enough
  • You are rejecting God as your Lord
  • you are declaring your independence from God
  • you are rejecting the fellowship with God

What you are TRYING to steal from Him…

  • omnipotence
  • Omniscience
  • his  Kingship
  • yourself
  • your fellowship

The first three you may try to steal them away, but it is impossible .  You are communicating that you don’t care about God and the last two you ARE stealing from God.  You are denying God the very things He created you for and that is a personal relationship with Him.   These things impacted me SOOOO greatly and I have been such a different person.
