HOW I EXPECT GOD TO WORK

2 Kings 5:11 (MSG)

Naaman lost his temper. He turned on his heel saying, “I thought he’d personally come out and meet me, call on the name of GOD, wave his hand over the diseased spot, and get rid of the disease.”

WITHOUT WORKING THE WAY WE EXPECTED HIM TO

TRUST GOD’S CHARACTER WITHOUT DICTATING —

GOD’S METHODS

SO I DON’T MISS … HOW YOU — ARE WORKING!”

MORE OF GOD

GOD SEEKS US FIRST — THEN CALLS US TO —

SEEK HIM BACK

WE DON’T JUST GET MORE — FROM GOD —

THE BEST MORE — THERE IS

“OPEN MY EYES LORD!”

“GOD — WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SEE THAT I DON’T?”

“SHOW ME THE MORE … OF YOU I’M MISSING!”
