WHY GOD TEARS DOWN BEFORE HE BUILDS UP #874/ EMBRACING THE FATHERS HEART WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

Why God tears down before he builds up.
Have you ever wondered why it gets worse before it gets better? Or how about that age-old statement, "it's darkest before dawn." Well, there could be something to that, and maybe a God principle is involved in those statements.
I think about it for a minute regarding the examples of the children of Israel in the old testament journey. They were in Egypt for 400 years, and interestingly enough, they were not enslaved all that time.
Actually, Egypt was their salvation at one time when they were starving for lack of food.
Joseph, the second in command of Egypt, discovered his brothers who had betrayed him and brought them back to Egypt.
Now Egypt wasn't God's plan for Israel; it was not their inheritance or their Canaan land. But they became content because of the ease in their lifestyle and the prosperity of their families. 
However, prosperity and lifestyle ease usually lead us to miss the real purpose in life that God had intended for us. Am I in favor of poverty and pain? Of course not. But it seems the human psychic has a propensity to slow down and get lazy when they don't have a challenge ahead of them.
So what does God do he gives us a bear and a lion along the way to sharpen our skills.
Why would he do that? Because he has a Goliath set up just around the corner that will take us to our destiny and the purpose he has planned for us.
Our life is often shaped by the challenges we embrace and those we run away from.
Why does God tear down before he builds up? Because he knows you can't build on feeble and false foundations because you will lose everything you invest if you do.
The illustration of pouring new wine into old wineskins would give us the principle we're talking about. I believe God is deconstructing much of what we have been taught from the mind of men concerning who he is so that we may know him in his purity.
Much of what we know about God has been filtered through the thoughts and fears, and suspicions of others.
I believe we've been called to have a face-to-face relationship with a father so that we might know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of your spirit.
