Surviving Abandonment

- Category: Topical
- Scripture: Psalm 13:1–13:6
Three Gospel Reflections:
1. No Condemnation (Romans 8:1)
Satan will lie; he'll say:
"God doesn't love you"
"God is punishing you"
"God has abandoned you"
2. Spirit of Promise (Romans 8:9-11)
Guarantee of promise lives in us - Spirit
Grieving/quenching/resisting the Spirit
makes us susceptible to being pulled away by Satan
Live repentant lives
Intercession of Spirit vital to spiritual health
Romans 8:26 Spirit interecedes for us
Prays for us
3. Real Purpose for Trials
For our good - Romans 8:28
Overcome by:
Looking at the Truth
Believing it
Building our faith
