"Fully Rely On God" from 2 Chronicles 16

L.T. Frog: Learning to Fully Rely on GodBe the FROG - fully rely on God.

Southern and Eastern part of Israel at this point are on war. Asa is on the Southern part.

Asa at this point don't rely on God for his sickness. He seek the help of the physicians rather than God. Trusting in the arm of the flesh than on the Lord.

For instance, we trust more in our money and food rather than to God.

Be consistent in our dependency on God.


Charisma - God's grace working on us.
Charismania - man's effort imitating God's grace.

Asa also made a mistake in asking help in non believers. He suffered from a serious foot disease but he never ask the help of God. The Bible criticizes his consultations with physicians because in those days "physicians" were pagans healers who used rituals that conflicted with God's law.

God will strengthen us if we fully rely on the Lord. Don't worry about tomorrow.

Psalm 37:40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.

James 1:19-20
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Remember as you look at the FROG - be the FROG kind of person.
Nice Christian Life Experiences ~~~

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
