April 25 Sermon: How to Walk Away

Scripture: Genesis 12: 1-5

Sermon delivered by Pastor Williams

�

����������� Whether we want to admit it or not, God has already made it manifest to us to just walk away.� God wants to pour us out blessings that we won�t have room enough to receive.� Walk away from hatred, malice in your hearts and sins that you know are wrong.� God cannot bless you in mess.

Learn to leave certain things behind and don�t turn around.� You are probably saying �how do I do that?� It�s easy to tell me, but somebody has to show me how to walk away�.� Some of us are still in Haran when God wants us in Canaan.� Abram was given the same challenge � leave family and loved ones - just pack his bags and go.� In Haran they worshipped idol gods and God wanted Abram away from all of that so he could become the father of many nations.�

God�s word is not complicated, we just make it hard.� All we need to do is just listen to God�s word.� He will tell you how to put one foot in front of the other.� Many of us are struggling in our lives because we do not hear the preached word.� Stop listening to those �wannabes�.� Learn to obey and trust God�s word If you really want to walk away.

����������� Many of us hear God�s word and do not want to trust Him.� You have to trust and obey Him and He will bring you out.� The scripture says �we walk by faith and not by sight�.� Abram trusted God in spite of his 75 years of age.� Many of us say in our old age �I�m set in my ways� or �that preacher can say what he wants, I�m old enough to be his mama�.� But let me tell you, God has a new thing for your life � no matter what age.

Abram walked away in the midst of uncertainty.� Many of us won�t trust God until He lays it out in front of us to see.� Every once in a while we need to step out on faith.� If God says He will make a way, it�s already done.� Walk away, trust Him, believe in Him, lean on Him.� Don�t look back.� Walk away from that sin and watch God lift you up, turn your around and make a way out of no way.� Ain�t God alright!

Just walk away from that sin in your life.� You can�t hang out on the corner, walk away.� They are going to talk about you but walk away.� When you walk away, you will make it to Canaan.� Walk away.� Satan, Saints and sinners cannot live in the same house together.� Stop asking others what to do or sitting there wrestling with it or just praying about it when God has already told you what to do.� Walk away and trust God.

If you want God�s blessings for your life, you have to get up from where you are, walk away and come get your blessings.
