What To Do When God Says…No

Week One

Sometimes, God responds to us in unexpected ways. What happens when we hear answers from God that we don’t want to hear? How do we respond and move forward? This week, we’ll address the question, “What do we do when God says no?”

  • God said “no” to many people in the Bible. 
Genesis 17:19  God said “no” to Abraham.

God said “no” to many people throughout the Bible.

Moses

David

Paul

  • God has a different relationship with us than we often think.
We tend to treat God as if we’re in a performance-based relationship.

Matthew 7:7-8

Matthew 7:9-11

God treats us as His sons and daughters.

  • There are three main things that God says “no” to in our lives.
1st – God says “no” to sin.

Because God is my Father and He’s working for my joy, I will obey.

2nd – God says “no” to the area of comfort.

Luke 9:23

Romans 12:1

John 12:24

God, my Father, will use that little death to bring about life.

3rd – God sometimes says “no” to a dream.

Matthew 7:11
