Satisfied - Pr. Brent Cantelon - August 10, 2008

Is it possible to find a place in God where we are filled, full, not striving, not driven by desires and ambitions that have no end where we are at peace in God?
Ask yourself the question, "Am I truly satisfied?"
It's not a simple question. You might say... "I have enough to eat, I have a roof over my head, I have a good job....I'm satisfied...I guess"
Does your life show, you are satisfied? Does your speech say, "I am satisfied?"
What do you do with your time, what consumes you?
What fills your thought life? Phil. 4:11-13
What is the secret to complete satisfaction? Your reliance upon God. Christ strengthening you. God being your provision. Isaiah 31:1,3
The one who is helping (if it is not God) and the one who is being helped will both fall down. There is no satisfaction if God is not the one we seek
Where are you looking for your help?? With our mouths we may say "God" but our behavior is what needs to be evaluated. Ecc. 14:13,14
Living for yourself under the guise of Christianity, living for sin, living for the things of this world will never satisfy because it will never be enough. The more we obtain, the more we crave.
Steps to God's Satisfaction
A) Reconcile with God - the creator
B) Walk His way - obedience
C) Align with His purposes, His call on your life
As a result of doing things God's way I have the promise that the satisfaction of God WILL fill my life. Mathew 5:6 ,Prov. 14:14, Prov. 19:23
Ministry Time
Ask God to give you the strength to stop what is not satisfying you in your life (habits, routines)Repent - Live through Christ's promises John 6:35 and John 4: 13,14Are you satisfied? Is Jesus your everything? Is there evidence that this is true in your everyday life?God is on your side. God wants to satisfy your life.
