My husband and I were watching the Black Family Channel. A preacher by the name of Bishop Mack King Carter was on there preaching. He is the pastor of New Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
This is what I got from his sermon.
He said that we live in either the Circumstantial will of or Intentional will of God. The Intentional will of God is what God intended for us. The Circumstantial will of God is when or circumstances get in the way of God's intentional will.
He explained it like this...
In a game played by the Indianapolis Colts, Peyton Manning threw an interception in the red zone; that was circumstantial will. Peyton intended for it to be a touchdown for his team; that is the intentional will.
Bishop Carter said to keep on throwing passes in the red zone, you will eventually throw a touchdown; meaning that what is supposed to happen will happen.
He further said that everything that God will bless us with everything that He intends to bless us with, in spite of our circumstances.
Hearing that blessed my soul.
Bishop Carter gave quite a few good analogies in his sermon.
The end...
