Do You Want God's Hand or His Heart? || Alignment || Inspiring Word

About this sermon

This powerful message centers on the profound question from Amos 3:3: 'Can two walk together except they be agreed?' It challenges us to examine whether we're truly in alignment with God's person, not just His purpose. We discover that God chose Israel—and by extension, chose us—from among all families on earth, which means He holds us to a higher standard of accountability. The sermon reveals a sobering truth: we often want God's blessings without wanting the Blesser Himself. We chase after divine favor while refusing to align our lives with divine character. The teaching unpacks three critical areas of surrender required for true alignment: trusting God's character when circumstances don't make sense, submitting to His authority daily as living sacrifices, and walking in reverence rather than convenience. We learn that agreement must come before assignment—God doesn't give instructions to strangers, only to friends who walk intimately with Him. The message confronts our tendency to customize God to fit our preferences rather than surrendering our preferences to fit His will. Ultimately, we're reminded that when we walk with God, everything we need walks with us, but we cannot walk with someone we refuse to submit to or someone whose character we're trying to change. 0:00 The Foundation of Alignment 7:00 Agreement Before Assignment 15:00 Submission Before Synchronization 25:00 The Cost and Consequences of Alignment 35:00 The Call to Covenant Relationship Subscribe here http://www.youtube.com/OfficialSmokieNorful http://www.SmokieNorful.com
