Everything is against me!

Everything is against me!

Pastor Tim McDaniel | 7.15.2026

Genesis 42:36 (NIV) 

36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!”

Genesis 42:36 (VOICE) 

36 …Everything and everyone is against me!

God might be trying to me.

Ephesians 1:3 (NLT) 

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.

2 Chronicles 33:2-6 (NLT) 

2 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, following the detestable practices of the pagan nations that the Lord had driven from the land ahead of the Israelites. 

3 He rebuilt the pagan shrines his father, Hezekiah, had broken down. He constructed altars for the images of Baal and set up Asherah poles. He also bowed before all the powers of the heavens and worshiped them. 

4 He built pagan altars in the Temple of the Lord, the place where the Lord had said, “My name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” 

5 He built these altars for all the powers of the heavens in both courtyards of the Lord’s Temple. 

6 Manasseh also sacrificed his own sons in the fire in the valley of Ben-Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and he consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was evil in the Lord’s sight, arousing his anger. 

2 Chronicles 33:9-13

9…Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the Lord had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land. 

10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they ignored all his warnings.

11  So the Lord sent the commanders of the Assyrian armies, and they took Manasseh prisoner. They put a ring through his nose, bound him in bronze chains, and led him away to Babylon.

12  But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. 

13 And when he prayed, the Lord listened to him and was moved by his request. So the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the Lord alone is God!

God might be trying to me.

Romans 8:28-29 (NLT) 

28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good and are called according to his purpose for them. 

29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

Hebrews 12:3-11 (NLT) 

3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up. 

4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin. 

5 And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said,“My child, don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline, and don’t give up when he corrects you. 

6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.” 

7 As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? 

8 If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. 

9 Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever?

10 For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. 

11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.

Romans 1:7 (NLT)  

7 I am writing to all of you…who are loved by God and are called to be his own holy people.

God might be trying to me.

Luke 22:31-32 (NLT) 

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. 

32 But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”

Failure isn’t fatal unless it’s final.

Acts 2:37-41 (NLT) 

37 Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” 

38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 

39 This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.” 

40 Then Peter continued preaching for a long 41 Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.

Pause – Rejoice – Ask – Yield. 

Luke 11:2 (NLT) Jesus said, “This is how you should pray:”

Luke 11:2 (NLT) “Father, may your name be kept holy.”

Luke 11:2 (NLT)  May your Kingdom come soon. 

Luke 11:3 (NLT) Give us each day the food we need

Luke 11:4 (NLT) and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation.”
