start

living Worry proves that you don't believe God can take care of you Worry is faith in fear Worry is faith in fear the two words of the New Testament from the mouth of the apostles do not fear Do not fear, do not fear the past. Because because your past has been forgiven and forgotten, do not fear the present. I will never leave you nor abandon you. Joshua 1 and 9, do not fear because your God is with you wherever you go. David said yes, although he walked through the valley of shadow. of death.

I will fear no evil because you are with me Death has been reduced to a shadow The Lord is my light and my salvation Who will I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Who will I fear? Psalms 27 and 1 Hebrews 13 6 The Lord is my help I will not fear what man can do to me do not fear death The Bible says I am he who was dead and behold I am alive forever Do not fear sickness because this It is the book of the Great Physician Do not fear poverty because it is the Lord who gives you the power to obtain wealth Do not fear other people the Bible says I will make your enemies at peace with you You will climb the impossible mountain.

I will give you the ability to defeat the impossible enemy. 1,000 will fall to your left hand. Ten thousand will fall at your right hand. David said: I will fear no evil. Why because God? Almighty he is with me. That's why worry is confidence and unpleasantness, worry is security. That disaster is coming Worry is believing in your personal defeat and despair Worry is a polluted stream flowing through your brain that drowns out hope and optimism That kills faith Worry is interest paid for problems that never happen Think in that An old man said and I quote Most of the problems I have had in life never happened.

How many of you fools have worried? about something that you knew was going to be a disaster and never happened Worry enters our life through thoughts But the Bible teaches us to put all our care in God because he cares about us Life is real and we never know exactly what will come our way, but we do know God, we do not have to live in fear because he is with us and he is on our side. Well, worry sees the problem but it doesn't see God. I don't think it's wrong to see the problem. In fact, I think we should look at our problems directly and then we have to tell them where they stand in relation to God.

Worry sees the problem, but faith sees the God who can handle the problem and that's what we have to do and whatever. Situation you're in right now in your life Whether it's something with your kids or your marriage or your finances or you think you'll never recover from your past or you're struggling with some kind of addiction or some kind of sin, that you keep trying To hold on to whatever it is, you have to know that God is bigger than any problem you have and you don't have to worry because when you pray and then worry, worry nullifies your prayer. something you do instead of worrying if we pray and then worry.

We are saying with our mouths that we depend on God, but we stay with our actions and don't really believe that God will deliver. We will worry and have a backup plan in case he doesn't. We don't have to know what God is going to do. We don't have to know when he will do it. All we need to know is. that he is and that he has a plan and at the right time It's not our time But at the right time God will execute that plan. In fact, I'm going to tell you that something is bubbling in my heart right now.

God is working in your life Each of you, God is working in your life right now in ways you can't feel, don't see, and don't understand. And in everything we go through we need to raise our voices and say God, I believe you. I'm working on my life right now I'm waiting for something good And God is with you in your situation Some of you are in very difficult situations And yet in the midst of it you have joy and peace and you have hope and only God can give. telling us that God is with you just because you have a problem that does not mean that God has abandoned you God is with you Jesus Christ made the profound statements of concern that the world has never heard in Matthew chapter six That is why I tell you to do not worry about your life what you will eat nor what you will drink nor for your body what you will wear is not life but food and the body more than clothing Look at the birds of the air that neither sow nor reap nor gather and barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them, or not of more value than Which of you by toiling can add a cubit to his stature?

So why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, neither do they toil nor spend themselves, and yet I told you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these now if this is how God dresses the grass of the field that today is and tomorrow is thrown into the oven. Will it not clothe you much more, oh you of little faith? Therefore, do not worry about what we will eat or what we will drink or what we will wear Because after all these things the Gentiles seek your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things you They will be added So don't worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will worry about its own things Enough for the day is its own problem Simple deep God gives you what you need And I'm sure many of you have things coming up in the future future that they know will require answers and they don't have those answers, but they know how best they can show faith. in God is refusing to worry about it Refusing to think about it excessively and every time it comes to your brain just say: I don't know what I'm going to do But I know the God who does know what I'm going to do And that's when we get to the kingdom of miracles with God, where He can do so much more than we could ever dare to hope, ask or think.

Many of you have a wonderful testimony in your lives of what God has done. for you And God has brought you some from some places that no one would have ever thought you could have recovered from. Of course, I myself have the same testimony, and I tell you that God is no respecter of persons, his promises are not for someone else or an elite for you. They're for you. He is here right now and he is taking care of your situation. You do not have to worry. God will do one of two things if you have a problem.

He will eliminate the problem, which is always our first option and usually the only thing we can do. We believe that we can be even remotely satisfied that He will eliminate the problem or give you the strength, the grace, the ability to overcome the problem now, I know we don't like to go through a part, but I'm telling you. If you can say God, I know you will do one of two things. You will either remove this or move it. You will take it away from me or give me the grace to face it. And if we can trust God enough to leave that choice to Him.

Because if he lets us go through that, then he has a purpose in mind. something we're going to get out of this that we need Trusting God is wonderful It's so wonderful to just say I don't understand this But I believe God will work it out I don't understand this. It hurts much. I feel like I can't stand it But I believe God is going to figure it out Somehow, I think God is going to figure it out Our journey with God is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing and I'm asking you for it. today choose boldness Don't live a life that's a little narrow and nothing When there is such a big and wonderful life available to you just because you don't want to take that risk That just maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe what you really feel is God God It has not given us a spirit of fear.

He doesn't want us to live timid, weak, fearful lives, he wants us to be bold, brave, strong and not afraid to try new things. I think a lot of the reason people don't go out and try new things is because they think about all the things that could happen if they fail before they even try. And I think if you know how much God loves you, you really understand how much he loves you. Then you can live without that fear of failure, which immediately sets you free. try things If you just do the best you can when you go out Then God will promote you little by little at a time I think we look at the way we think it should be in its perfection and if we can't do that yet Then we won't even go out and do anything and I can tell you that my beginning was unfortunate.

But I was following God. I think some of you are at a point in your life and I just feel this in my heart. that some of you are facing something new. Maybe something in your life has come to an end and now you are facing something new and fear always comes against us when we face new things. You're not the only one Every time you try to make any kind of progress, you can be sure that Satan will try to scare you, that's how he stops people from moving forward. Courage is not the absence of fear, but courage is actually forward movement in the presence of fear.

I don't want you to forget that you are not afraid, you are not a coward because you feel afraid, but we are cowards when we let fear control us instead of following the leadership of the Holy Spirit. God will guide us through fear and into His perfect will for our lives. If you ever really want to live your life guided by the Holy Spirit, you must understand that God does not usually even call people who are qualified or feel ready to do so. what they are asked to do. That's why it takes faith to do it And faith means you go out based on what's in your heart Not based on what's in your circumstances Instead of being afraid of new things, we should be excited about new things and I know that this It really sounds like kindergarten. simply, but honestly and truly, if people had the courage to follow God in their individual lives, you would have an outrageously wonderful life, not everyone might like what you do, not everyone would approve of your choices, you might not always get a lot. of encouragement and applause at the beginning.

But God will test yourself. If you are brave enough to follow God and not the crowd, including Myself, we regularly reach places in our lives and have not been there. We haven't done that We don't have experience with that And so we have a tendency to want to

start

backing off and just stay in our little boat of safety But God is encouraging you today to step forward and be bold enough To follow the leadership from God for your life and it never ceases to amaze me what God allows a person to do if they just step forward.

Bold Faith Christianity is increasingly viewed not only with skepticism but also with outright hostility. And it requires of us bolder faith and the willingness to say it out loud. I am for Jesus I am for Jesus. I think Jesus is a good thing. I think he will help you. It's now acceptable in our culture too, if you hold that worldview. It is openly suggested, not insinuated, not qualified. It is openly suggested that you are somehow not up to date with the 21st century. That intellectually you have even left a little behind, that your moral development and your philosophical consciousness and your worldview are a little jaded, a little biased, they are underdeveloped and you are a diminished person in some way.

It takes bold faith to be a Jesus person these days and I want to encourage you and let it be known in your circle of influence with your friends, your neighbors, your family and your peers. workers you with Jesus It is important. They need to know that people like you love Jesus. Bold faith. A faith that says daily: I want to do the best I can to make decisions that honor Jesus of Nazareth. I am in favor of him. And I encourage you to be in favor of him. He has improved my life. Jesus does not diminish life.

He lengthens the quality of life. He expands contentment in life. Bold faith. It is not critical, nor harsh, nor mean, but a passion for Jesus that influences your life. If we were to go to Joshua 1, we would see that when God sent Joshua to take Moses' place to lead the Israelites through the wilderness to the Promised Land. He said there's only one thing you have to do. Don't be afraid and be brave. God cannot work through fear. He works through faith Fear opens the door for the enemy to work in our lives and faith opens the door for God to work in our lives Fear comes from your flesh from your circumstances from what you think and feel but the faith comes from your heart And you have to follow your heart you have to keep your heart safe and you have to keep your heart free And if you are not following God's leadership for you, then your heart will not be free.

It's going to be a burden And I think even if you go outtrying something that you think is God and you don't make it to the end, God likes that spirit of aggression and that boldness that says: I'm going to go out and try. he. I'm not going to live in fear. So we have the option to deal with the difficulties we face in life in one of two ways. We can do it with courage or we can do it with fear and God does not want his people to live in fear. He says: I have not given you the spirit of fear, but of power and love and sound judgment.

God wants us to be triumphant. He wants us. Let us be brave and bold in whatever we face in life and He has made promises to make it possible for us to face anything and still stand when the battle ends in difficult times, dangerous times. We don't look around, we look, we are up And so we get courage, strength and we are willing to trust God, let's be brave and bold, no matter what God requires of us, God will change your life, God is ready to give you the best. The question is are you ready to trust him?

A couple of scriptures just to encourage you and your ear will hear a word behind you that says this is the path, walk on it. When you turn to the right and when you turn to the left, God is. promising us now to understand this. This is a promise to each of us that as we move toward what we believe to be God's will, he will guide us every step of the way. But he won't give them a plan for the next 10 years. before taking the first step Psalm 118:6 The Lord is on my side. I will not fear.

What can man do to me? Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust I do not feel But I will trust and I will not fear because the Lord God is my strength and my song and he has been my salvation Isaiah 45:2 is another great promise and I pray this all the time And I will go before you and level the mountains to I will straighten the crooked places and I will break the bronze gates into pieces. They cut my iron bars into pieces. I know that wherever I go There is always opposition There is always a plan that the enemy has To stop the good that we want to do But I just pray in this scripture that God will go before me and send his angels before me and prepare. the path before me And he prepares the hearts of the people before me and you know, what would happen if you made a decision?

Stop letting other people make your decisions and go out and try some things. You will find God's destiny for your life. You will find what will satisfy you and what you should do and what you should be, but you have to be bold. You have to be bold enough to go out and discover. Do we dare to dream? What is it? a dream Do you dare to dream when others say it is impossible? Do you dare to dream when others live in doubt and despair? Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, said that everything says that with me all things are possible to those who believe. that God will do what he said he will do our God is able to overcome the limitations that others have placed on you.

Whatever predictions they have declared for their future. God can cancel it in a second if you put your faith in Him. Our God can overcome the pain of your past and heal the wounds of yesterday. Our God can give you strength for today and fill you with hope for tomorrow. Our God. He is able to take all things the good the bad the pleasant the unpleasant and work them together for your good but what you have to do is believe Believe that the dream he put in your heart is a glimpse of your destiny and then move on endure hardness God will not fail you God will give you the desires of your heart You just have to trust him and know that he did not bring you here to disappoint you and if God has you in one hand and your destiny in the other I assure you that your dream will be will come true Dreams consider the power of a dream Our dreams are the golden ladder by which we climb to the heavenly places Dreams are the mountain peaks of vision that we climb and behold the promised land that God has given us we dreams They are the Lanterns by whose light we pass safely through the darkest Valley Dreams are the inner flame in your soul that gives you the strength And on the day of adversity to fight through the darkness until the dream comes true All great things are born in a dream art books music sermons building skyscrapers corporate empires Beethoven used to wander through the woods to bring his music to the theater of his mind He heard great symphonies of sound that blessed the world James Walt invented the steam engine and the he started He shouted his friends see it today with their natural eye but years ago.

I saw it in my mind Dreams are the stuff life is made of Walt Disney said if you can dream it you can do it And I hope and pray that you have a dream for your life Without having any kind of goals or any kind of dreams for your life. It's a dull, boring way to live. Never stop dreaming, no matter how old you are. Do not stop dreaming. You are not too young to dream You are not too old to dream and even though you have some shattered dreams in your life. I want to encourage you to dream again Don't give up on your dream I don't care if you don't have the money You don't have the help And you don't have the family for it and you don't You don't have the experience for it and you don't have the friends for it.

Don't give up on your dream. Do not do it. Do not do it. Do not do it. It may take you twice as long. You may have to take courses and classes. You may not read as fast. You may not move as fast You may not have as much, but don't you? Sometimes it's better to keep your dreams to yourself Because your dream is about you It's God's divine way of giving you insight into your destiny It was God's way of saying Joseph will one day be. I am going to exalt you and you are going to rule And all the nations are going to bow before you That was Joseph's destiny That was the dream that God planted in his heart for that dream to come true Joseph had to endure the misery and the pain and a season of hell on earth.

That would be hard to describe, but he was able to get through everything he went through because before it began, God gave him a glimpse of what was to come and he walked that long road believing that if God was before him, who can be in against? Son of God, I believe that he is no respecter of persons. If God had a dream for Jacob and God had a dream for Joseph then God has a dream for you. The devil's work. He has a mission: to make you think you won't make it. The devil wants to keep you from your destiny.

That's his only job. Satan has a job to keep you from your destiny. The devil never wants you to be what God created you to be. If you have been dreaming of opening that business. You should start the process. Don't try to do it. find out how to make a million dollars just start the process see if you take one step he will take two, but he won't be able to take two unless you take one. Don't worry about what you're going to do, just get started. He will show you the way to go because he wants you to reach your destination, but he must make sure that you want to reach your destination first if you tell him that you want to reach your Destiny that God you serve, he.

I'll show you how to do it. You could believe it. Don't forget to pray Don't be ashamed to pray and never be too proud to pray because prayer changes things Why sometimes people's dreams don't come true? You know the devil is always trying to dig some. a kind of pit for us trying to throw ourselves into it, whether it be a pit of depression, a pit of discouragement, a pit of poverty, a pit of sickness and disease, he always wants us to be somewhere in between as well as at the top where God wants us to be. a little hard, you know when you have to wait longer than you thought And things are a lot harder than you thought And it seems like you're having a harder time in your life than you ever thought you could bear And it goes on and on and on and it goes on and on but the people who refuse to give up The people who don't give up I can tell you that I promise you if you don't give up and you don't give up You will reach the goal You will reach the goal But it goes without saying that Life can push you through seasons when it is difficult to dream.

Is it right to hope for a better tomorrow? Is it fair to believe that there is a better day ahead? This mentality is contrary to what the Word of God tells us. We must believe and believe in ourselves. We may be in a world that revolves around absolute financial situation. Cultural and global. chaos, but the Bible tells us that we are not in this we are in this world We are not of it we have been told that greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world We are told that although we can See the times more difficult times, we can hope for the best in things because it is our God who sits on the throne in a world of difficulties.

He has promised to be the divine provider. He has said I have a plan for you. It's a plan to not hurt you. It is a plan to give you hope for the future. In a world of need, he has said. I am still the God who will supply all your needs. According to my riches and glory in a world of chaos and confusion He said I am the Prince of Peace and my peace is not only given to you but passes all understanding You may be in a dry season today But our God has said that he would be a spring of living water for your thirsty soul.

You may be walking through a dark valley, but the light of the world has promised that he will be by your side and guide you every step of the way to the other side. You may be in a world of trouble, but he is a strong tower, he is a shield, and he is an offense in your day of adversity. He said I will be the rock of your salvation I will be the glory and the lifter of your head My goodness and my mercy will follow you all the days of my life because even David himself declared Since the Lord is on my side What can man do to me ?

Child of God, if you have a dream today, do not give up on the dream that God gave you. Businessman, do not stop pursuing the dream that he planted in you, mother and father. Keep believing in the dream that he has reserved for you. Young man, do not abandon the dream that he planted. in the depths of your soul because God did not bring you here to fail He brought you here to crown you dream a new dream and believe in a God who can never fail Everyone wants a miracle But no one wants to be involved in the crisis that requires a miracle.

The only way you really need a miracle is if you have a problem and the bigger the problem, the bigger the miracle you need. We like miracles, but not problems that disappear. with them, but sooner or later it will happen to you The phone is going to ring and you are calm, calm, a well-ordered life Instantly you will find yourself in the middle of a storm, Sooner or later you will face a crisis Beyond your power to control Our God is a God who wants to perform the miraculous in your life. There are times in our lives when we are faced with something that seems like there is no way out.

We could do all the calculations in our mind and our mind will tell us. There is nothing that can be done here. Maybe you are at work and you know that God wants to bless you, but you look at your situation. You think that God cannot move here. My boss doesn't like me. I can't get along with other people at work. There is a ceiling in my environment. It is impossible for God to move in this situation. Other times we could say well, my marriage pastor. It's so bad. It's been so many years that it's been sliding in the wrong direction.

I don't know if God could ever move our marriage to the position he keeps talking about. How is God going to change these things in my life? pastor I have been attacked in my body for so long. The diagnosis is that it is incurable. Nothing can be done here. I'm not sure God can even move. I don't know what I would do and our brain begins to exclude us from God's best in our lives. He says impossible things well. I don't know. God still does that We begin to forget things from our past Where God performed the miraculous Can you remember a time when God did something miraculous in your life that no one could explain?

Something happened and you made a breakthrough when it seemed like there was no way. There was a Miracle that happened in your life, which could not be explained with the mind. The mind wants to get in your way. It means well that's impossible Many people believe in the Bible they believe in the miracles of the Bible What they don't believe is that God will do it for them and he will do it now That's what faith is believing that God can do do it for you and Do it right now. We live in a world where everyone tells you that you can't achieve this.

We live in a time when people, even in the church, do not believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and what he can do. Sometimes we just look at the Scriptures and we are fine. Yes, that was back then and you guys are not about back then. It's about forever It's about from the beginning of this book and to the end The followers of God were filled with courage There was bravery in them There was a confidence that my God will be fulfilled We grew up with these stories we really did it and don't you remember when were you a child?

Having this faith as if God could do anything God loves to work best and shine his glory when things seemed darkest when the Israelites were in a situation Surrounded by the mountains, they couldn't You won't escape the mountains. They had to sail in front of them. They couldn't swim across that and the Egyptians were coming in and God had placed them there. What is happening? This is impossibleDid you know? Even when it seems impossible, God can blow up the mountains or part the sea, he will figure it out. We just have to keep believing that no matter how impossible it seems, God can still do it.

I don't know how he'll do it. get ahead in this financial situation But this is what I do know, I know that my God will supply all my needs according to his riches in his glory. I do not serve a God of practical people. I serve a God of miracles The God of the Bible is a miracleGod working in the genesis of time he breathed on a handful of earth and Adam became a living soul. That was a miracle. He separated the day from the night. He cast the brilliant stars against the velvet of the night to shine like diamonds as an eternal reminder to humanity that he is the Infinite Creator.

He lit the Sun and placed it in the heavens as his version of the eternal flame. The infinite power of God. Creating is far beyond our imagination. The God of this Bible is a God of power and miracles. He is a God of grace and glory. He is a God of power and patience. Moses parted the Red Sea and walked on dry land with almost 2 million people. He healed the strays, he healed the deaf, he healed the blind. That my friend is the power that works miracles. serve a Jesus who walked around making uncommon events and the power of God seem common every day, he was performing a miracle, you have that same spirit within you and it is so rare that anyone, even in Church gatherings, It's so rare for someone to hug you and remind you how

powerful

you are.

How

powerful

is your God who dwells within you and what you can do. You know, we become more and more cowardly. He has never been pleased with cowardice. I have been pleased with people who don't believe that He can get ahead and that He can do anything. But have we lost the wonder of God? Do we see the power and majesty of him so often? We were blind to his presence. Have you ever watched the sun set or sunset? dawn That ball of fire that shines on the horizon. It's an amazing miracle that you can't really understand.

Why should you know this? For on the morning of Creation a divine spark of glory escaped from the fingertip of Almighty God. It burns in the heavens daily as God's sign to the nations of the earth. He says this is my miraculous power from the God who created heaven and earth that You can serve, he is amazing. He is full of wonder. He is the light of the world. Sometimes we think about how busy we are going to be to help God try to do what he is doing. Listen, he steps back and lets God do what God is trying to do, just put your faith in that when things happen. become impossible He is going to unlock the impossible.

He will appear in his glory so that we can say all these years later That it was God who did that and not us. People understand that it is easy for God to cure a cold and He cannot touch cancer. Let me take the cancer. It's not a challenge to God. When you have the faith for it, I mean, you can move mountains here. God is just waiting for you to cross your fingers and start believing. He wants you to see that miracle. He wants to surprise you and when we stop waiting. and we negotiate, we say well how God is going to do that.

I don't know But you know what God, I'm fine. Our brain tends to look at what the devil brings and say well, that could be working. You know, it's not what I thought it was going to be. It's not a WoW, but it will do. I will settle for this situation. I'll just accept what this compromise is. Remember this, if you remember anything from today. God is not a God, a commitment. He will bring a miracle to your life. life does not accept the second. We get knocked down here and there and then people start telling you that you can't do it and our faith and that risk and that courage just seem to diminish And it's not right.

Not good. This is not how we want to live. Why don't I believe like before? We are children of God. God is still God, not just when he was, when we were little kids, but when we were 40, when we were 80. Just go, man. I'll try. God has done some wonderful things over time as I have grown in my knowledge. I want my courage and my boldness to grow with it. No, not on the contrary Our Father who art in heaven is still Jehovah Rufie the Lord who heals all illnesses. His Son Jesus Christ is still the great doctor.

He is the balm of Gilead. He is the conqueror of death. Hell and the grave. This is the word of the Living God. It is a two-edged sword. This is the bread of life. This is living water This word spoken under the anointing of the Holy Spirit is a divine proclamation that can move mountains and conquer diseases you are what this book says you are you can do what this book says you can do you can have What this book says you can have, You can know what this book says. You can know that you can go where this book says.

You can go, nothing is impossible for you if you go in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book says whatever you ask in my name I will do it. And if that were the only verse in the Bible, it would make Christianity the greatest faith. on the planet Ask and you shall receive Today I pray to God that she has received the miracle that will change your life The only way you will know the purpose of your life Why are you here on this planet? What the hell? you are here to talk to your Creator God who made you and read the owner's manual God has never created anything without a purpose Every plant has a purpose every star has a purpose every animal has a purpose God does not create things without a reason without a purpose And if your heart beats and you breathe there is a purpose for your life Because God never does anything without a purpose and the mere fact that you are alive makes your life have meaning that God had a reason to create you are in Christ we discover who we are what we are living for part of the general purpose that God is working in everything and everyone The next verse Colossians chapter 1 verse 16 says this everything absolutely everything began in Christ and finds its purpose in him it is in Christ that we discover who we are and why We live Then you said: I really have to find myself.

You will find yourself in Christ You were made by God You were made for God Until you understand that your life will never have meaning. You're going to go through life wondering, why am I here? You have to start with God God wants you to know him and love him. This is what he says in the book of Hosea in the Bible chapter 6 verse 6 God says: I do not want your sacrifices. I want your love. This is God speaking to you. I don't want your offerings I want you to know me the most important thing you can know in life is that God loves you and the most important thing you can do in life is to Love Him too First Timothy chapter 6 the Bible says this some People have missed what most important in life.

They don't know God. They don't know God. Now, how do you know when you don't know God? How do you know when you are disconnected from God? How do you know when at that moment? Are you not knowing and loving God? God has given us a warning sign and it shines like a bright yellow light in your life. Every time you disconnect from God and that warning sign is this Worry. When you worry you are acting as if God does not exist. You're acting like it's my thing. No, it's not up to you. It's up to God And when you worry you're acting like it's all your responsibility That you don't have a Heavenly Father who loves you but there were 7,000 promises in the Bible that God hasn't agreed to fulfill yet We take care of all your needs We're always worried about what God wants Let God do what job should I have?

Where should I go to work? We should go to school. That I have to do? We are always worried about what we should do. God is much more interested not in what you do, but in what you become and the reason is that you do not take your career to heaven. You don't take your car to heaven. You don't take your money to heaven. How much money are you making? You won't take your china, you'll take your character. The only thing that will go to heaven after your 80 years here on earth is you. You will not take any of your achievements, without taking any of your achievements.

You will not take any of your purchases with you. You will not take any of your things that you have accumulated. Accumulate them. Money. Materialism. Things like that. None of that will go to heaven. The only thing that will go to heaven is the person you became, the man you became, the woman you became, the only thing you will take to heaven is your character. And God puts you on this planet to develop your character, grow spiritually, and become. Like Jesus Christ, when things happen to you, the normal question you ask is the word, "Why is this happening?" Why is this happening to me?

Why is this happening now and the answer to all of life's questions is this? to make you like Jesus To make you like Jesus If God is going to make you like Jesus, he will take you through everything that Jesus went through. And Jesus was not free from difficulties, there were times when Jesus felt alone. Yes, at which point they misunderstood. Yes, we are the times when Jesus was disappointed by people. Yes, there were times when he was tempted to become discouraged and give up. Yes, there were times when who was simply tempted? Yes. And if God let his own son go through all that, don't you think he'll let you go through that too?

Yes because? Because he is more interested in your character than your comfort. This is not the comforting side of life. Comforts will come in eternity Comforts will come in heaven This is the side of life in the classroom where you were supposed to learn and some things are only learned through difficulties. If you got everything you wanted, everything went your way, you had no problems. You would be a spoiled brat, a self-centered brat, and the goal of life is to learn to be altruistic. It's not about you, it's about learning to love God and learning to love other people and that's where satisfaction, joy and purpose come from.

You know those problems you have. What you don't like in your life Every problem has a purpose and that purpose is to make you like Jesus. There is no situation in your life that you cannot grow from if you simply trust in Jesus and learn to respond to him in the right way. God knows you have been frustrated with your life. He knows your wounds. He knows your sadness. He knows your fears. He knows the turmoil within you. He knows the loneliness you feel when you put your head on the pillow at night. He knows the insecurities you feel that you don't want to admit to anyone else.

He knows all that. He knows every part of you. You won't surprise him with the hidden part of your life or the life you are leading. He knows you He is a loving father He is the father who cares about you more than you can imagine and a father wants to guide his children Before you were born The Bible says I knew you before you in your mother's womb I know the hair on your head your names are written on the palms of my hand I have plans for you plans for good and not for evil Sometimes you may feel too insignificant When God called Moses to free the Israelites Moses protested because he didn't could speak in public When Sarah was promised a son, she protested that she was too old when Jeremiah was told to prophesy.

He protested because he was too young. When God sent Gideon to fight the Midianites, Gideon protested that the family was insignificant when Samuel anointed Saul with oil. Saul protested that his tribe was too small and when Samuel anointed David, Jesse protested that David was the youngest of his eight children and even Mary when promised that she would bear the Messiah protested that she was a virgin. . He does not see us as we are, but as we will do. Become No man will ever love you, no woman will ever love you Like your Creator does like Jesus Christ does And go completely through your entire life Disconnected from your Creator who loves you so much It makes no sense at all If someone was willing to die for you.

Wouldn't you like to know if someone loved you that much? They would die for you. Wouldn't you like to know? Someone died for you His name is Jesus Christ, and he died for you to pay for all the things you have done wrong So that you can live a life with a purpose And my plea to you as pastors do not waste your life Decide well now that for the rest of your life you are going to give the best of your life not to your girlfriend not to your boyfriend not to your job not to anything else But God and this kingdom became what God made you to be the man God made you to be the woman God made you to be Jesus Christ commanded the church not to fear Fear is mentioned in the Bible more than 600 times It is not a minor theme in the Word of God from Genesis to the Apocalypse Abraham and John on the island of Patmos us Hear that commandment given over and over again, fear not.

That command was given to Abraham. That command was given to Israel. That command was given to Moses. It was given to David, who fled from Saul for years, lived in caves before becoming king. That command was given to Daniel who was going to the lions' den that command was given to the city of Jerusalem the angel Gabriel gave that message to Mary to Peter who was sinking in the swirling tide of the Sea of ​​Galilee To Paul who had been on a boat for 14 days and it seemed like everything would be lost, the angel of the Lord appeared and said, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, every time you see in the Bible, don't be afraid, it's all over the Bible, don't be afraid ,because I am with you, do not fear, because I am with you do not fear because I am with you do not fear because I will never leave you nor forsake you.

That is the main reason that the Bible gives us not to fear is to know that God is with us and that if he is He loves us with us and He will take care of us. But God says over and over again don't be afraid because I am with you remember not to talk about not having the feeling of fear. We're talking about not letting that stop you. We cannot live our lives in fear and dread of what is happening and what is going to happen. Satan wants us to shrink back in fear and live useless little lives.

But God wants us to be brave and bold Don't be afraid It's said in different ways different variations But it's basically the same thing don't be afraid don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid over and over again in different ways God wants to tell us exactly the same thing in fact, it's so critical and so important to him that he comes to the New Testament and Paul writes a letter to a young man named Timothy and says Tim This is what you need to know that he has not given us a spirit of fear He says of all the important things Timothy that you need to know in your life And in this ministry that God is sending you to as you go through the things on this journey of life that you will inevitably go through, He says, remember what our God doesn't give is fear?

He gives power, love and a healthy mind. Fear is a real thief in our lives. Isaiah 41:10 says do not fear, there is nothing to fear. Well, isn't it interesting? Because Im with you. That's the only answer he gives because I'm with you and so if we really know who the Lord is, I'm not just talking about going to church, but if you really know who the Lord is, then we don't have to. know what you are going to do. We don't have to know when he's going to do it. We don't have to know what the path will be.

We simply say Lord. I know that you are with me and that is why I can do what I have to do Because when fear makes you stop and do nothing It is the master spirit. I believe that the enemy is trying to prevent us from fulfilling our destiny. And then he tells us there is no way. He says you have to be afraid of this, you know? If you failed before, then you have to be afraid that I will fail you again, but God says do not fear because I am with you. I love that.

There is nothing to fear. Don't look around in terror and dismay, you know, it's one of our problems. We look around too much instead of looking up. The more you look at your problems, the more you rehearse them, the bigger they will become. Every time you go through something difficult. It makes you a little stronger just a little stronger Fear is a fact of life fear of the future fear of danger fear of the past others fear the loss of their job the loss of your health There is a sudden, inexplicable pain and it brings fear to your mind Some of you fear loss of position loss of self-esteem fear failure fear criticism from other people fear exposure fear not being liked there fear of death.

There is fear of the unknown. The era of human history is the era of anxiety and fear. When fear knocks at your door. Send faith to respond and no one will be there. Isiah wrote I will trust and will not be afraid, we have to understand that fear first of all is a demonic spirit, it is not from God. I think it's the enemy's favorite tool in his toolbox. whose sole purpose is to prevent us from progressing and moving forward. Are you afraid that the whole design will stop you in your tracks or make you go back to where you came from?

Instead of moving forward and becoming everything God wants you to be? if we believe that our God does not give a spirit of fear But you find or I find in my life that there is a spirit of fear attached to something specific in your life or in your path an opportunity that intimidates you a relationship an effort, a ministry, an interest yours that seems to make you feel a little paralyzed and insecure or afraid if you and I know what we know now, based on the Scriptures, that God is not scary, but you feel that there is a Spirit of fear attached to something in your life AND You know, God didn't give you that meaning.

You know who did it and if the enemy has put a spirit of fear into something in your life. It must mean that he is doing the best he can. to keep you away from something And if he's trying to keep you away from it, that must mean there's something about it that he doesn't want you to have. He loves you and he had to be so paralyzed, so crippled, so disarmed, so disinterested in the same. What he knows is exactly what God wants to put you through. In order to take you to a new place in him, don't be afraid.

A believer in Jesus Christ can only have one attitude toward fear and this must be his attitude. I will not fear I will not fear Fear stops you from moving forward Is there anyone here who ever feels like you've let fear stop you from doing what you know you were supposed to do? I beg you not to give up but to keep going and to be all that God wants you to be Do all that he wants you to do So that you can have all that he wants you to have The reason you have no reason to be afraid , my friend, as God calls you to go here or do that or go through this particular thing in your life.

It's not because you're so capable. It's not because you're so prepared. It's because you have a dad who loves you and has already gone behind the scenes. He has already orchestrated and manipulated events, people and circumstances so that all He needs is a woman who is willing to say Yes, Lord, and stand there on the plate of His grace and His glory in His Call on your life and to do what He has commanded. I called you to do it and if you and I just do it we will find that we have been set up to hit a home run every time.

So if there is something paralyzing you right now, the enemy is working overtime to cause fear in you. in your life Will you hear this message from the Holy Spirit today? Step up to the plate. Do not be afraid. Your God has your back If God is for us So what difference does it make? Who really is against us? Because God is certainly bigger than anything or anyone that can come against us and you know, I think where we get into trouble is when we believe that God is for other people, but are we sure that he is for us?

Can I tell you something you have? a problem is not a sign that God doesn't care about you It doesn't mean God doesn't see you it doesn't mean he doesn't care about you He wants to help you in your time of need and trouble we give the enemy access to our lives through fear AND We give God access to our lives through faith We don't have to be afraid of things God will take care of us Whatever is coming in your future, even the things you don't know about. God will take care of you Come on God will take care of you Get it in your head God will take care And that's really all we need to know God will take care of us God has not given us a spirit of fear
