There are NO DEAD ENDS in God. The world is full of dead ends - Frustration and Famine. Jesus is the new and living way.

The ways of God are very different from our own. 


People say he is a last minute God.  
Yes. Sometimes a perfect situation seems to be set up for God to come in a the very last moment and deliver us.  

http://www.bible-history.com/art/redsea.htm
 Backed up against the Red Sea, Israel had no options but to trust in the great God who had delivered them.  You know in that crowd many predicted in their hearts that this was the end.  They had no ideas.  No options.  No hopes of surviving the Egyptian army barreling toward them. 

Moses struck the water and the whole sea parted.  One of the most mind boggling miracles occurred.  Our God has NO DEAD ENDS.  There is always a way in him.  This is one of his ways.


 A woman came to our church.  She came back because the Lord had healed her knee some time earlier.  Now she had a serious illness and needed healing.   She came forward for prayer but was not comfortable explaining the illness.  We waited on the Lord and prayed.  The Lord said "Endometriosis" to me.  I didn't even know what it was.  I said, "I am hearing Endometriosis. Is this the problem?"   The answer was "yes".  We prayed for her and she was healed.   
In God there are NO DEAD ENDS. 

“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.
    I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
    When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you’re between a rock and a hard place,
    it won’t be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
    The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you..."  Isaiah 43


The world is full of dead ends - Frustration and Famine.  Jesus can free us from these things and so much more.  He opened a new and living way.  
Hebrews 10:19-21


A few dead ends of the world..... 
"When people tell you, “Try out the fortunetellers. Consult the spiritualists.Why not tap into the spirit-world, get in touch with the dead?”Tell them, “No, we’re going to study the Scriptures.”
People who try the other ways get nowhere—a dead end! Frustrated and famished, they try one thing after another.When nothing works out they get angry,cursing first this god and then that one,Looking this way and that,up, down, and sideways—and seeing nothing, A blank wall, an empty hole. They end up in the dark with nothing.  Isaiah 8:19-22

 20 On that Day men and women will take the sticks and stones They've decked out in gold and silver to look like gods and then worshiped, And they will dump them in any ditch or gully...
Isaiah 1:20 



 "What a generation you turned out to be! 
Didn't I tell you? 
Didn't I warn you? 
Have I let you down, Israel? 
Am I nothing but a dead-end street? 
Why do my people say, 'Good riddance! From now on we're on our own'?  
32 Young women don't forget their jewelry, do they? 
Brides don't show up without their veils, do they? 
But my people forget me. 
Day after day after day they never give me a thought.
Isaiah 2:31-32


THERE ARE NO DEAD ENDS IN GOD.  The spirit of the world would seek to swallow us alive; Cause us to forget the wonders of our own testimony.  It hungers to remove the glory of God from us and cause us to forget him in the confusion and panic of seeking a way out.  

I have good news for you.  
In Jesus their is a way out.  There are NO DEAD ENDS in GOD.
There is a new and living way in Jesus Christ that opens the very heavens up.  Jesus opened the way to the Father's heart for us.  We share his relationship with Abba!  


What if you began looking for God's deliverance everywhere?  
What if you believed there was a way out?  
Believed that in our God there is never a dead end?  
You would seek, ask, knock and find the open door. 

Have you ever adopted your perception of the situation or your prediction of the outcome as reality?  
Why not believe the Scripture testimony and let the God with no dead ends show you the doorway to deliverance and freedom?  
Our God is always perfectly on time?  
He lives outside of time and wonderfully works within it.  
He is timeless and ageless.  
We are filled with the dread of time.  Fears That it is running out.  
God has no such fears or worries.  
He is always on time for the highest grace and glory in Jesus. 


IN Christ Jesus we are living forever.  NOW.  Today is forever's beginning.  



"Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; 
And let him return to the LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, 
For He will abundantly pardon.  
8"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.  
9"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 
So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.…"  
Isaiah 55:7-9


Testimony?  Testimony?  
Remember the stories of his awesome deliverance.  Remember what he has done for you.  Remember stories and things he has done for others.  Remember the scriptures stories of Jesus and his healing power.  

What can you share about how the goodness of God has erupted into your life?
Find the latest story.  Dust off any old one you may have.  They are still good stories.  They still say the same things.  Let them speak fresh understanding to your current circumstances.  

And REMEMBER....
THERE are NO DEAD ENDS in our GOD.
