“In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.”
2 Corinthians 1:9-10 NLT
Have you ever felt you were at a dead end? Have you ever asked God why do you let things get so bad and out of control? Whatever situation you find yourself in, what do you expect God to do about it? Maybe you don't expect God to do anything. But God works in your life according to your expectation. That is called FAITH!
The scripture 2 Corinthians 1:9-10 has to do with deliverance. The purpose of dead-end is to teach you to trust in God. Bad things / out of control things, force you to learn to trust God, instead of your own ingenuity and cleverness.
God promises to deliver you, but you must put your trust in Him. He has delivered you, He will deliver you, and He will continue to deliver you. There are three different kinds of deliverance:
1) God uses circumstantial deliverance - sometimes God may miraculously alter the circumstance like the Red Sea, but it won't happen all the time.
2) God uses personal deliverance - God changes you: a new dream, new wisdom, new attitude, and a new perspective.
3) God' ultimate deliverance is Heaven - While on earth we will experience problems. There will be pain, sorrow and suffering. In Heaven no more sorrow, or suffering or heartache.
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 NLT
There is only one way to Heaven. When you feel like you have reached a dead-end, Jesus can take that hopelessness and turn it into endless hope. Stop relying on self, and rely on God. He did rescue us from mortal danger. He will rescue us again. Place all your confidence in Jesus and He will continue to rescue you. Take all your problems, concerns and give them to Jesus.
Remember God loves you and so do I.
