What It Means To Be Helped?

1. To support
2. To give assistance (to assist)

Help Has Two Assignments:

1. To make whatever goal the achievement of it possible
2. To make it easy

Help has a unique assignment of lessening burdens

When God gives a man a mandate, when you embrace that mandate, have it at the back of your mind that you are not the only one who will be responsible for the execution of it.

Immediately, it prepares you to open up channels within your life to receive help and to position yourself to be helped.

1. Every man succeeds in life and destiny to the degree to which they receive help.
   – Help that has been allocated to that vision. Acts 26:22 KJV
   – If your life is slow, if your life is stagnated, if your business is slow, if your business is stagnated, if destiny is not unfolding progressively like the pages of a book, in diagnosing what may be the condition, do not omit to check the help troubleshoot.
   – Proverbs 29:18 KJV
2. God helps men.
   (Psalm 121:1 KJV, Psalm 20:7 KJV, Psalm 121:4 KJV, Psalm 3:5 KJV, Genesis 26:12 KJV)
   Possibilities are sponsored by fraternities and partnerships
   (2 Chronicles 26:5 KJV, 2 Chronicles 26:15 KJV, Isaiah 41:13 KJV)
   – One way to kill fear permanently is to be aware of the vast resources that are available as an advantage for you. Psalm 23:4 KJV
   

Why Do We Need Help?

1. All Men, even at their best, are limited
(Psalm 103:14-16 KJV)

2. Human factors can influence the outcome of principles even if correctly engaged.
– There are times you are right, and life will still force you to say “I’m sorry.” Unfortunately, Unfortunately, Unfortunately
– If you are not assisted, your life will be full of pain (Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV, Ecclesiastes 10:5 KJV)
– If you don’t obtain help, you will be surprised that in all of your work in righteousness, you will have the same lot as wicked men. (Psalm 125:3 KJV, John 5:7 KJV)
– You are as powerful as the men that believe in you
– You are as powerful as the help that has scheduled

3. The presence of satan and demonic forces alongside their determination to abort everything God in our lives. 1 Peter 5:8 KJV
– Demonic forces are real; they can stop you from being around the day your miracle comes.
– They can manipulate seasons. Psalm 18:29 KJV, Matthew 13:25 KJV

James 1:17 KJV

Psalm 46:1 KJV, Psalm 46:1 NIV

1. Ever-Present help here is a description of God, it describes who he is with respect to his ability to help men, it describes God as a helper.
   God is a helper.
   (Romans 8:26 KJV)
2. It is not only a description of God, is a description of the way he helps
   Help that has time tied to it, that it comes timely. You can receive help late.

4. Timely Help
5. Help in the time of need.

6. Help can come at a level that does not contribute significant enough

It’s not enough to pray for help, you must pray for help that attends to you in a way that contributes significantly.

The Kind Of Helpers You Need:

   – Who have the influence to say King, I have the influence. I have the virgin tomb, give me the body of Jesus. John 19:38 KJV
   – In this world of men, help differs; there are men who are like nations in terms of their ability to contribute to your life.
2. The greatest helper himself being God. Jeremiah 20:11 KJV
   One with God.

1 Thessalonians 2:18 KJV

Psalm 90:14 KJV, Deuteronomy 33:6 KJV

You are limited in what you know. When God wants to help you, he expands your knowledge

Word leaves here as information, but by the time they get to you, they become keys, sometimes they become weapons. They empower you to fight, they empower you to open doors.

How God Helps Men:

1. By Showing Mercy
– He makes them beneficiaries of his mercy. Lamentations 3:22 KJV
– Mercy grants you unusual access to the benevolence of God, beyond the levels of your merit.

4 Dimensions of Mercy:

• Compassionate treatment of those in distress.
• Refraining from harming or punishing offenders.
• For showing care and providing relief.
  The fatherhood of God stands on two pillars
  1. His Love
  2. His Mercy
•  Forgiveness of wrongs or whatever it is.

Psalm 102:13 KJV, Luke 18:38 KJV

The mercy of God is very powerful, When you begin to experience the mercy of God, you will get results beyond your prayer life

• Mercy is a fruit of compassion, God shows mercy. Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV
• Mercy comes with jealousy; the jealousy of God will tear your adversary to pieces.
• Every time you don’t have an explanation for your results, the answer is MERCY

How God Helps Men:

2. Through The Ministry of Men

• Men are the zenith of God’s creation
• Dominion and everything around it upon this earth is not only God dependent it is men-dependent. Psalm 115:16 KJV
• Men are a mystery that, if you ignore, you will spend your life paying the price
• You are as powerful as the men who choose to believe in you and choose to support your cause.
• When God calls you in prophecy, he positions strategic men, helpers are ordained, they don’t just come. Genuine helpers are ordained. Numbers 1:5 KJV
• Prayer: Father, touch the hearts of the men you have ordained to stand with me
• Happy is the man who is surrounded by helpers. Judges 7 KJV

If you use money to pay for everything, favor is not at work in your life. There are many receipts that will be paid for by men, men will come as the receipts themselves.

1. Life is as hard as who ignores you
2. Life is as hard as which valuable relationship refuses to come to you

You don’t go physically looking for helpers, you call them in the spirit.

How God Helps Men:

3. The Help of The Holy Spirit

• God helps men by granting them access to his spirit
• The Holy Spirit is called the helper
• The Holy Spirit supplies something called grace to help in times of need.  Hebrews 4:16 KJV
• The Holy Spirit supplies supernatural empowerment, it can translate as wisdom, it can translate as power, it can translate as favor. Grace to Help
• The Holy Spirit is THE advantage to believers.
