HOW TO WRITE YOUR OWN TICKET WITH GOD !

HOW TO WRITE YOUR OWN TICKET WITH GOD: STEP 4: TELL IT; Verse 33 tells us that the woman with the issue of blood acknowledged what she had done. She " . . . Told him all the truth." Jesus wants us to tell it so others might receive. The first step in writing your own ticket is: Say It. The fourth step is: Tell It. There is a difference. At first the woman said what she believed. Then she told what had happened. We have to said some things in faith before we ever received from God. People say the wrong thing because they believe the wrong thing. When they start believing and saying the right things, that is what they will have. Now put that in reverse, people that say the wrong things and believe in the wrong things will have what they say. (1 Samuel 17:45 through 54). "Then said David to the Philistine, thou cometh to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shieled: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the enemy is of Israel, whom thou has defiled. Notice, David's statement of faith ! "This they will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the hosts of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beast of the earth; that all the earth made know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with the sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands . . . And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his fourhead, that the stone sunk into his fourhead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him. . . So David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem. . ." When David sloughed the giant with his shepherd's sling, he knew he could write his own ticket with God. He knew God would do anything he said. And in the above verses, we see how David use these four steps to write his own ticket with God. First, he said it: "This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand. . ." (v. 46). David had faith -- not in his own strength, but in the strength of his God. David knew that in his own might he was powerless against this Philistine. But he was not trusting in his own might; he was trusting in the Lord. Then David acted upon his faith: "And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his fourhead, that the stone sunk into his fourhead; and he fell upon his face to the earth" (v.49).
