The Secret of No Plan B

So, I am reading this book called the Secret of the Secret Place by Bob Sorge! And in this chapter The Secret of No Plan B he talks about Isaiah 44:14-20 and he says in his book:

The Lord gave me a definition of a false god. This definition helps me because even though in our westernized culture there are few people who actually worship figures of wood or stone, we too have our own false gods. In this passage, the Lord describes the idolaters as saying to their block of wood, "Deliver me, for you are my god!" So a god is defined as this: anything to which we ascribe the power to deliver us. Westerners have their own set of false gods - sources to which they turn to for deliverance when in times of crisis or need (let the reader understand).

Some of the gods in our own culture are:

Money, Health Insurance, Medical treatment/prescriptions, Social Security, Retirement plans and IRA's, credit cards/consolidation loans, drugs/alcohol, pleasure/entertainment/recreation/sports, sex, friends (to deliver us from loneliness), couselors, lawsuits, filing bankruptcy, etc.

God-worshippers are those who come to God first in their time of need. They seek God's face and wait on Him to receive directives for the course to take. The secret place becomes a threshold where we wait upon God, seeking His powerful intervention, and crying out to Him for wisdom and revelation. Occasionally, the Spirit will say to you, "In this instance, I want you to wait on Me only and stand in faith until I intervene sovereignly in your situation." When God gives you this word then fasten your seatbelt! You are in for the ride of your life. You are stepping into the God zone. Here we find the stuff of miracles. This is the dimension where God rises up in His wrath and vengeance and wreaks havoc upon your enemies. Your role is to gaze upon Him, love Him and grow in patience and faith; His role is to loose resurrection power in His time and way. Not every crisis falls into this category, but when it does... get excited!! You're taking the high road of the greatest saints of history, the pathway where God reveals the power of His arm, the splendor of His majestic beauty, and the awesomeness of His eternal purpose. (Psalms 62:5-8).

As I write this chapter (Bob Sorge), I am personally in great need of divine intervention in regard to physical infirmity. I have been tempted to consider some other avenues of relief, such as those listed above. But, instead, I have said to the Lord, "You are my Helper. If You don't save me, I am not saved. If You don't heal me, I am not healed. If You don't deliver me, I am not delivered. I have no other recourse, no Plan B, no alternative plan. I am not entertaining other options. It's You and You alone. I worship You. You are my God!!"

Is it possible, though, that this storm has come to guide you into a higher dimension of Kingdom Living? Oh, I hope you can learn the secret; When the storm hits, run into the secret place, establish your spirit, and say to Him with unwavering resolve, "You alone are my expectation." Our God loves to prove Himself strong on behalf of those who have NO other gods before Him.

This book is powerful and faith filled. I recommend it to anyone. It is awesome!
