STOP STRUGGLING AND LET GOD HELP YOU

Have you ever tried moving a large object from one place to another by yourself how difficult was it in contrast to being assisted by more people weights are heavier when we bear them alone and lighter when we have support however there are weights in this life that nobody can bear for you you can only bear them for yourself no one can grow develop or age for you no one can live or account for your life For you your life challenges may not be new but they are specific to you if you don't face them and

deal with them no one can do so for you no one can become a Believer on your behalf to save your soul biologically a woman experiences a cycle every month with these Cycles comes physical changes for her it's a biological fact that cannot be changed no matter how much you love her or how intimate you are with her you never carry this burden for her this is true Of many other areas of life there are weights you cannot carry by yourself and there are weights that no one can carry for you and our lives are

filled with these kinds of Weights some of us are carrying weights of financial responsibilities and needs some are carrying weights of family crises an unloving partner a problematic child or sibling a job crisis or health issues The Book of Job rightly said that one of the major Elements of Life is That Humanity faces trouble from the day of our birth until the day we leave the world in death job 5 6-7 for hardships does not spring from the soil nor does trouble Sprout from the ground yet man is born to trouble as surely as Sparks

Fly upward every person you know or see on the street regardless of how they look are carrying a burden right now about to start Carrying one or just finishing with one burden in their life you may fall into one of these categories today as you listen to this message whichever one you may be experiencing I want you to know that just like I mentioned at the beginning of this video weights are lighter when born by many rather than by one Ecclesiastes 4 9-12 two are better than one because they have a good return for their

labor if either of them falls down one can help The other up but pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up also if two lie down together they will keep warm but how can one keep warm alone though one may be overpowered two can defend themselves a cord of three strands is not quickly broken there is no doubt that you are carrying so much weight right now and it may seem this is one of those weights no one can carry for you or perhaps you're struggling to trust anyone to help you

And you are dealing with it all by yourself God is sending you a message through this video to stop trying to do those things on your own this can be a difficult thing to do especially if you have been betrayed or denied help by those you trusted some of us have grown over the years to trust only ourselves with our issues maybe once we tried to accept the help and they abused the opportunity became too familiar and broke your trust when we Needed them the most or they just plain failed us hence we learn to

depend only on ourselves even if it meant carrying weights twice as much as we could carry you may not know this but many people you see who like to do things themselves aren't truly happy about it they would love to find relief too they want to sit back and see things happen but because they're afraid of trusting another person for many reasons they take the burdens upon Themselves the downside of this is that they end up carrying burdens that were meant for more than one person you may be a pastor a leader in an organization

or just a respectable member of your family who wants to see things done God is using this video to tell you that doing everything on your own is cutting your life short Moment by moment you're taking more than you were meant to handle another problem with this is that it leads us further and further away From trusting God and into depending on ourselves here is why many of us are very impatient with God we want it done our way and we'd want it done now the Bible warns us about this way of life in Proverbs

35-8 trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight do not be wise in your own eyes fear the lord and shun evil this will bring Health to your body and nourishment to your bones can you see how a change from this path can affect not only your results but also your health and body God has not saved and rescued us so that we will start doing everything on our own does this mean that we shouldn't

be responsible and should just leave it to God no God didn't call us to laziness however he wants us to trust him with our hearts and lean on him for Understanding and wisdom I am not going to lie to you there are many things you can give yourself apart from God but none of them will bring you life there are many Pleasures you can achieve without God in this world but the truth is that all of them will be at the expense of your soul in eternity anything apart from God is wearisome and destructive and

will result in death but God is life he invites you to lay your Needs and burdens before him because he cares for you 1 Peter 5-7 casting all your cares all your anxieties all your worries and all your concerns once and for all on him for he cares about you with deepest affection and watches over you very carefully I love this verse so much it highlights everything we are most inclined to deal with on our own anxieties worries and Concerns you may not know this but each time you allow your challenges to hit you so

hard that you begin to worry and get anxious or panicky about them you are dealing with them on your own in our eyes our problems are mountains too high to climb valleys too dark to go through and oceans too deep to swim but with the Lord hallelujah they are nothing when the entire Army of Israel confronted the Philistines Army one giant Soldier terrified them because they stood by Their own strength but then one teenage stood with God he brought down the same giant that crippled the entire Army when Israel went to war against the nation

on their own strength even though the nation was smaller they overcame the Israelites but when they went with God he gave them Victory it is no wonder that Paul wrote If God be for us who can be against us in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us the Assurance of your access to God is in the fact that he loves and cares deeply about you that's what Peter was saying in 1 Peter 5-7 when you care about someone you want to be part of their struggles and their victories it

Grieves the Lord when we try to do things on our own when we treat God like he's not there for us or like he's not there at all we limit his involvement in our lives but when we commit our needs to him and depend on him for wisdom and victory we can't lose Maybe you're listening to me while at a crossroad in your life right now not knowing what to do perhaps you don't even know where to start with trusting God because you have stayed by yourself for so long or perhaps you're at your Wit's

End not knowing what to do because the weight is just too much so far you've been carrying it all so far you've been doing your best to keep it together God wants me to tell you peace his presence is the place place of rest When we believe him enough to trust him to help us he gives us rest from our weariness what did Jesus say in Matthew 11 28-30 come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and overburdened and I will cause you to rest I will ease and relieve and refresh your

souls take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls for my yoke is wholesome and my burden is light and Easy to be born You Are Not Alone dear child of God your heavenly father wants to help you if you will make that decision today to trust him and stop living like you're on your own if you need wisdom he offers wisdom if you need Grace and strength to overcome a struggle he is sufficient if you need relief from toiling

and bending under the weight of too many responsibilities he is the great Provider and peacegiver you can trust him you don't need to say much you just have to believe him enough to tell him you want him to take over take it to God In Prayer we have few answers because we do not ask we have few answers because we do not believe if you can dare to trust God you will see his hand in your life will you make the decision today you have tried it on your own look how far you've come now

you can give him a chance to show you how far he can take Those who genuinely follow him being a child of God means being a Believer it means being willing to let go so that God can take over your life it's time to stop trying to do things on your own it's time to start letting God work through you and help you reach the heights of his plans for your life God can do again and again and again he's the same God today as he has always been so there's no reason to doubt God

can do it Again these are the lines of a song I learned from my pastor many years ago this song has carried me through many hard days when I didn't know how to get out of my situation dear child of God I want you to know that God can change that situation in your life if you let him guide you I know you have prayed and tried many other options with about success but have you taken the time to find out if you were letting God guide you in this Situation he is the unchanging and

unchangeable God no situation can ever scare him he is the god from the beginning of time and he knows all things nothing takes him by surprise we often face difficulties in various situations not because we do not believe God can change things but because we do not settle down to consider letting him lead us out of the the situation I have heard people say if God can why doesn't he just do it if he is all powerful why Doesn't he just make these problems go away why doesn't he just make this evil disappear they believe

in the power of God but only according to their own imaginations and terms and this keeps them stuck in a cycle praying and expecting but not knowing that something is still missing you see although God can do the impossible we need to know that he doesn't just move randomly yes God works in mysterious ways but while he works he Wants us working with him and how do we work with or cooperate with God by giving him preeminence and following his lead check through the word of God in many things God did in the lives of

his people they also had their own parts to play usually our parts are so little that they seem insignificant but they aren't God loves it when we allow him to take the lead while we follow I don't know the situation you're In as you listen to this message perhaps you're in a very uncomfortable place right now I need you to know that God can change that situation for your good for someone a change of situation may mean healing from a serious Affliction for another it may mean the postponement of a deadline or verdict that would

cost you something valuable maybe your freedom relationship ship possessions or shelter perhaps your own change of situation may be the desire to Experience a transforming miracle in your financial status in your health or in another area of your life if you're in any of these categories or in a category of your own please get this God can change your situation if you let him guide you the guidance of the Lord is as important as his power that brings Miracles if you miss it it may cost you your testimony think about this when Moses and the

Israelites found themselves Stuck between the Egyptians and the Red Sea they cried out to God Moses prayed and God answered him with an instruction what was the instruction Exodus 14:1 15-18 then the Lord said to Moses why are you crying out to me tell the Israelites to move on raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so they will go in after them and I will gain Glory through pharaoh

and all his army through his chariots and his Horsemen the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain Glory through Pharaoh his chariots and his Horsemen observe that God told Moses his part and Moses Parts together it was like do this I myself am about to do this in answer to your prayers right after the instruction the Bible tells us that God went straight into action and Began to attack the Egyptian chariots making it difficult for them to get close to the Israelites giving Moses enough time to act on the instruction he

just received God does not carry out unfinished business but your inaction towards his guidance has the power to stop his work halfway in your life if you will allow him he will change things for you if Moses had said but God you're all powerful why don't you just take us Across the sea or turn the Egyptian Army the other way or just crush them in one Fell Swoop or make them disappear so we don't have to do anything both he and the entire nation would have been stuck there until after the Egyptians recovered and they

would have been crushed why because he would have refused to let God guide him this is one way many people miss their change of story it is not that God cannot they believe and They pray but they want God to work it their own way therefore nothing happens and they think God did not answer them in Isaiah 55 8-9 God told his people for my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my my ways declares the Lord as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and

my thoughts than your thoughts God does not and will not answer your needs the way you want him To he will always answer whatever he sees fit your job is to pray and then follow whatever he tells you to do while he does what only he can do in Genesis 21 the Bible tells us the story of Hagar the female slave of Abra and Sarah based on Sarah's request Abraham had slept with her and she had given birth to Ishmael Abraham's first son however after Isaac was finally born Sarah didn't want ishmail and his mother

in the house anymore and she asked Abraham To send them both away from her son Isaac Abraham did and both Hagar and Ishmael were stranded in the wilderness without food or enough water the woman placed her crying child under a bush then went a few meters away from him so that she would not watch him die as she wept the angel of God appeared to her and asked her to pick up the child because God had heard his cries at the same moment her eyes were open and she saw there was a well nearby she

quickly Ran to it filled her bottle with water and gave her son a drink imagine if she saw the well but refused to go drink both her and the boy would have died God could have taken away their thirst or hunger but he showed her a well instead what they did with that well depended on them you see he does not only have the power to make things better for you he also knows the best way to do them since that's the case you must let him guide you another reason so many believers do Not

seem to experience this change of story is that we do not seek to be guided some people don't want to be guided other people want guidance but do not seek God's guidance as a Christian prayer is not your platform for outlining your problems before God it's instead a time to place and talk to God and to let him speak back to you to tell you what you need to do prayer is communication communication is a two-way Street it involves giving information as well as receiving information hence you're coming to God and expecting to receive a

response for what you're asking Hebrews 11:6 says and without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him seek him for what for guidance most Believers would rather seek a solution from the internet then Seek God's guidance this doesn't mean you should never seek knowledge but when it involves things that concern your destiny and certain situations in your life you must go where the solution is to the only one who can turn things around to God your heavenly

father the Bible says to acknowledge Him yield to him and let him take the lead and he will direct your path beloved how long this situation remains in your life is within your power will you lay down your Pride and seek God for guidance each time you spend time in prayer in studying the word of God and in fasting you are telling God that you cannot help yourself and need him to help guide you when you refuse to do these things you are saying you don't need his instructions do you trust in the Lord demonstrate

it through your submission to him it is through submission that it becomes easier to obey what God is saying to us through submission you say Lord I need you it's not about what I want but what you want you know the way better than I do please show me what I need to do and give me the strength to do it to change my current situation these are prayers that birth Miracles my friend this is the kind of heart that moves God this prayer genuinely States your helplessness without him and oh how God is drawn

to the helpless I want you to decide today to Seek God to ask him to guide you just as he led the Israelites step by step day by day from Egypt through the Wilderness and into the promised land ask the Lord to guide you you cannot afford to remain where you are when God is so much more for you when you walk with him rise up today and let God guide you you won't regret it in the end God is worth believing and obeying in the end following God's guidance always pays off have youever ever

been stuck in a Situation no one could possibly understand or have you ever been on a rocky road that doesn't seem to end there are moments in our lives when we are presented with trials that are too hard to even say out loud problems stack on top of each other until you feel like you're drowning just thinking about it makes you breathless you think that no one can get it because it is a web of your own mistakes or bad decisions it is just too complicated so you feel it will Save everyone trouble by facing

the fight alone do you know how a lot of people just give up in life it's because they have decided that it is over for themselves they have convinced themselves that they have run out of chances they declare that the game had run its course when they weren't even the ones who created it these are the ones who have embraced the idea of being alone if they cared for something other than themselves they could not possibly Give up giving up equates to letting your loved ones down for they took the time to believe and support

you it is surely upsetting for the one who has stuck by your side to see you accept defeat just like that are you familiar with the saying some battles are meant to be fought alone it is actually true but only to an extent in times of hardship we try our best not to involve other people it is Our thoughtfulness That Conquers us when we decide to fight a alone and tell them about the victory afterwards however there is a fine line between selfishness and pride we have an image to protect strong capable version of ourselves

we opt to go through a battle alone to prove our power after all to many a story of accomplishment is more pleasing to the ears than a story of weakness here's why the plan of being alone doesn't work we are designed for Companionship even creatures as Tiny his ants cannot be alone when an ant becomes isolated from its Colony it will die out of loneliness ants do not know how to behave when alone they cannot eat or rest this is backed up by scientific research the takeaway in this is that we often think we should

be alone but God did not put us into this world for that reason we are vulnerable frail Sinners but loved by him regardless if God has put forth his Wisdom so that ants may not be alone why would you think he wants us his Masterpiece companionless I know it's so hard to believe sometimes it feels like no one cares we have our own lives Joys and burdens no one truly sees you or the sacrifices and pain you endured just to get to where you are now no one appreciates your effort to continuously bounce back do

you know why you feel this way it's because you are looking The wrong way our father is above us he sees listens and perceives everything we cannot other people do not know you like God does he knows your interests fears and Thoughts by heart his love for you is greater than any Force imaginable it's told in Jeremiah 1:5 before I formed you in the womb I knew you before you were born I set you apart I appointed you as a prophet to the Nations our senses are so limited compared to his so I ask why

are you Seeking validation from creatures short of God's omniscience in the Book of Ecclesiastes the Bible tells us a story of a man all alone having no son nor brother there was no end to his labor yet his eyes were not content with his wealth for whom am I toiling he asked and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment this too is meaningless a miserable business why are you struggling for whom are you fighting for the constant answer is this We endure trials to give glory to our father I may not know the full story

behind your adversity at this moment but have you tried sharing this burden with the Lord he says in Isaiah 41:10 fear not for I am with you be not dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you I will help you I will uphold you with my righteous hand even though we continuously study scripture and stories about God's loyalty as Christians we seem to struggle to Remember his loyalty we think that God is so mighty and Powerful that it seems below him to be involved we get this notion unconsciously because of the stories we

have learned in the Bible these are often big serious times of troubles such as fighting a giant parting the sea and facing Lions The Parables we learned to love displays so much about God's intervention in extraordinary situations that we think that what we are going Through is not worthy of his attention our problem seems so little when compared to the incredible stories in the Bible it can be the matter of paying rent on time Landing a new job or starting a business we ask how can God be involved in trivial matters such as this the

thing is we should be focusing on the exact opposite if God has allowed them to conquer these Grand battles what more can he do for us in these minuscule hardships if he can move mountains he Can undoubtedly help you with anything it may be Financial physical or emotional conflicts you are his beloved God pays attention but he wants to be yearned for one more thing that makes it difficult for us to seek help is that we abstractedly feel guilt our conscience can s when we are in a one-sided relationship God is generous to you in

all aspects but how often do you give back we tend to feel shy about calling on him to seek help when we know that we Are not reciprocating this favor to our full ability the good news is that in Psalm 86:15 it explicitly says but you Lord are a compassionate and gracious God slow to anger abounding in love and faithfulness between you and me God will not resent you he is not keeping count one thing we need to be sure of is that God loves it when you seek Him in times of distress do your

best to glorify his name and he will shower his graciousness upon you forever in the Book of Psalms There is a prayer that goes along these lines turn to me and be gracious to me for I am lonely and Afflicted relieve the Troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish all you have to do is ask he will provide soulless for your Wounded Heart a father would not let his child go through a rough road alone not only is he here to provide comfort and consolation but he is here to actually fight our

battles with us in the Book of Mark there was a woman who bled Profusely for 12 years no one could explain the problem and so she was isolated from society because she was considered unclean she was alone at all times no one wanted to interact with her when Jesus came to town she attempted to reach for his cloak in hopes of healing with just a touch the bleeding stopped and she felt free from suffering when Jesus realized some movement of power from him he asked the crowd who touched him the woman went Down on her

knees and told Jesus everything to which he replied daughter your faith has healed you go in peace and be free from your suffering imagine the scenario you are in a painful predicament right now and you are suddenly given a chance to have a face-to-face conversation with god you can ask for anything and he guarantees that it will be granted what would you ask for I know we may have similar answers it might go along the lines of Lord God please end the suffering basically you request to get through hardship in just a snap when David

Avid spoke to God he said in Psalm 27:4 one thing I ask from the Lord this only do I seek that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to Gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his Temple how does David's prayer differ from ours notice how the only thing David sought was the Lord's presence in life we know that the journey is always more meaningful and memorable than the destination why are we refusing to Journey with God through times of trouble he deserves

to be the center of our attention and the subject of our worship God will not act as or provide you with a shortcut the words of David Platt God is becoming a means to an end which is not the way our hearts are supposed to Be remember that our goal here is to be moved by God through his grace we want to be worthy of being his instruments of love when facing struggles this goal remains applicable everything is part of God's perfect plan of course he wants to be with you but how will he walk

with you when you seek the end game and not his companionship do not want God for what he can do for you but rather because he is the only one you need submit yourself To him and you will come out of this battle Victorious First Corinthians 2:9 says but as it is written no eye has seen no ear has heard and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him he will fight for you the least you can do is to take his path with him reside in God's loving

presence and he will protect you with his unyielding love trust me God will lead you to the Finish Line all things are working together for your Good say this scripture from Psalm 139 with me you have searched me Lord and you know me he knows that you are afraid he knows that you feel alone and at this very moment I need you to allow yourselves to be vulnerable in the eyes of God for he will never let you wander down dangerous paths alone he will deliver you from evil similar to what the bleeding lady did

tug on Jesus's cloak and cast your faith on him he will free you from all your pain heal all Your wounds and smooth all your scars gaze upon the Grandeur of Stillness for it is in this silent Sanctuary that the Divine Essence speaks echoing The Familiar phrase I am God this phrase lifted from the Sacred Book of Psalms 46:10 is more than a mere verse it is an invitation a gentle beckoning to rest in the divine presence to hush the clamor of worldly distractions and to listen consider the mighty Deeds of the Lord How he

dispenses Justice upon the land how he quells the turbulence of Wars how he breaks the weapons of conflict and consumes the Chariots in an unquenchable fire yes my friends stand still and in that Stillness let the knowledge of his divinity seep into your soul let his glory be exalted Above All Nations let it ReSound throughout the Earth for the Lord of hosts walks with us the god of Jacob our unshakable Fortress Is ever present Psalms 46 With its Rich tapestry of imagery reassures us that in every circumstance every ordeal the Lord remains our refuge our

strength and our Bull workk against the tempests of Life the refrain the Lord of hosts is with us Echoes not once but twice reinforcing his unfaltering presence amidst our trials Psalm 46 is a narrative spun in the third person a narrative that seeks to remind the reader of the almighty's omnipotence and his active involvement amidst our Struggles and yet as we arrive at the 10th verse a fascinating transformation unfolds The Narrative perspective shifts pivoting from a third person perspective to a more intimate seconders view no longer does the verse speak about the Lord rather in

a profound twist it is the Lord himself who addresses us the readers and listeners directly it is in this moment of direct address that we find ourselves face to face with the Divine in a deeply personal encounter With the Almighty we are urged to lay down our burdens to Ste our trembling hearts and to stand firm in our faith secure in the knowledge that God Is With Us by our side this profound message is our anchor our Beacon of Hope in trying times whether young or old this Timeless wisdom Rings true it inspires it uplifts

it resonates through it we are reminded that no matter the trials we Face we are not alone so my dear friends let us be still let us stand strong in our faith And let us always remember God is by our side in the hush Silence of the hearts let us invite the Lord's presence and hear his Divine whisper Psalms 46:10 be still and know that I am God I will be exalted among the Nations I will be ex exed in the earth we recall Apostle Paul's prophetic Council the Timothy in 2 Timothy 3: 1-9 cautioning

him about the challenges that would pepper The Chronicles of the church as people's hearts lean towards self-love And worldly pleasures over Divine love they would nurture a cold unforgiving nature adorned with a veneer of piety but lacking its true Essence this message Echoes Through the Ages warning not only Timothy but all of Christ's disciples about the deceptive teachers intent on leading the innocent astray my dear friends my soul aches for a bond with God that is profound as the depths of the ocean as Limitless as the sky I yearned for an encounter with him as

Intense as Moses's encounter with the burning bush I long to face the adversities of life unflinching and unafraid with the courage of Daniel and the Lion's Den I ired to be a humble servant in God's Divine Kingdom living a life of purpose yearning to hear his voice say Well done my faithful servant yet I am under no Illusions the adversary will not stand by idly as I strive to ascend the ladder of Faith as I seek to fortify my prayers the enemy Will craft intricate plans aimed to dishearten and distract to plant seeds of doubt

and temptations designed to steer me away from God's divine plan for my life however let me assure you I am not daunted I refuse to live in fear or anxiety for I am empowered by the Divine who resides Within Me infinitely mightier than any foe that threatens from the outside even as God prepares to elevate me and the adversary gears up to Challenge I stand firm unshaken with the victory Banner of Jesus held high I commit to clothe myself with God's full armor standing strong in faith forever and always remember no matter the trials and

tribulations that beset your path stand firm and be still with God embrace the strength of your faith and know beyond any doubt that God is still by your side he is your Refuge your strength your everpresent help in times of trouble so Be still and stand strong in faith for the Lord of all creation is with you always in the silent Whispers of our hearts there's a call that resonates echoing the words abide with me Divine One or perhaps you found yourself in quiet contemplation pleading are you their savior or maybe Empower me heavenly father

it's remarkable how a quartet of humble voices can encapsulate a universe of emotion over the years as I've journeyed through life and faith I've come to a profound realization the longing of his presence has magnified in my heart the desire for his companionship has intensified and the yearning for the almighty to remain steadfast beside me has Amplified What Lies Beneath this deep-seated longing you might wonder the answer is simple it's my utmost need for the Messiah Jesus Christ I've tried charting my own course to no avail I've encountered the bitter truth truth that Without his

guiding hand Victory remains elusive breakthroughs turn into mirages and peace of mind becomes a distant dream therefore my soul yearns for Jesus Christ the only one who has extended an unconditional invitation in psalm 55:22 which says cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you he will never let the righteous be shaken I'll confess during trying times my heart often repeats a simple Mantra a prayer whispered in faith stay with me Jesus Stay With Me Lord in moments of Temptation my spirit softly implores fortify me Lord fortify me Jesus and if you find

resonance in these words I urge you beloved child of God to remain unyielding in the word of the Lord embrace the Stillness yet stand strong in your faith remember God remains by your side a steadfast pill of strength and a beacon of divine love his presence is a constant reminder that no matter the Battles you face you are never alone God is with you every step of the way offering his unwavering support and guidance in the depths of life's challenges when the weight of the world feels heavy upon your shoulders there is a source of

strength and comfort waiting for you it is in those moments that you must take those burdens those things that weigh you down and surrender them to the love loing Embrace of Jesus Christ just as the psalmist declares in Psalms 121: 1 and 2 I lift up my eyes to the hills from where does my help come my help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth today my dear friends your help comes from the Lord as well the wisdom of David a man after God's Own Heart when faced with trials and tribulations David cried

out to the Lord before he sought answers from anyone else before he jumped to conclusions or questioned why things were happening he reached out to the name that is above Every other name the name of Jesus Christ like David I encourage you to cry out to the Lord for yourself call upon the lion of the tribe of Judah the one who has the power to calm storms and bring peace to your soul in the midst of this chaotic world it's essential to be sober and alert for our adversary the devil prows around like a roaring

lion seeking someone to devour but fear not my friends for we are not alone in this battle 1 Peter 5 reminds us to resist The enemy and stand strong in our faith knowing that our brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring similar sufferings we are part of a global family of Believers and together we can find the strength to overcome so my dear friends I implore you to take a moment to be still remember you are not alone the Lord is your help your refuge and your strength be still and stand strong for in

him you will find peace that surpasses all Understanding may your faith be unshakable your spirit unyielding and may God's presence guide you every step of the way when the weight of the world seems to be pressing down on us we must remember the powerful message from Hebrews 121 therefore we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ens snares us and let us run with endurance the Race that is set before us just as the Hebrew Christians face persecution and

challenges we too must shed the burdens that hold us back and run with unwavering endurance in the race set before us God Almighty the Eternal presence that transcends time and space is waiting for your call he is the one who has been who is and who will forever be when it feels like an uphill battle to even open your Bible or utter a prayer call Upon Jesus he is the one who Commands Legions of Angels the holder of the keys to life and death no matter what circumstance you find yourself in today whatever trials and

tribulations surround you God desires for you to call upon him in the book of jermiah 33:3 we read these comforting words call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you don't know and in Psalm 50:15 we find This Promise call on me in The day of trouble I will deliver you and you will honor me therefore let me encourage you my dear friend to Anchor your faith in God when you meditate on his word when you Embrace his promises he declares trust me in your times of trouble and

I will rescue you he beckons abide in me and I will restore you and he invites come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest so in the midst of your journey shift your perspective let go of the weight That drags you down and instead fix your eyes upon the unfailing love and unshakable strength of the almighty God has the perfect solution for every situation you face he possesses the precise amount of strength needed to uplift you in both the good and the challenging days today my friend I

urge you to Embrace this truth and let it transform your outlook reflect on the words of the Apostle Paul the Timothy as recorded in second Timothy Paul commends Timothy for following his teachings way of life purpose Faith patience love and endurance he acknowledges the persecutions and sufferings Timothy endured It ultimately triumphed over Paul's words as a reminder that standing firm requires not only faithfulness but also the courage to endure hardships moreover over Paul urges Timothy to continue with what he has learned and to stay confident Timothy is a reminder of the individuals who have taught

and Imparted wisdom into his life this serves as a powerful reminder that we too are not alone in our journey we have been blessed with the opportunity to learn from Godly men and women who have paved the way before us by following their examples we can navigate the storms of life with great resilience the concept of following is not a mere passive observance but an active pursuit in fact the word followed in verse 10 implies walking closely alongside Someone conforming Our Lives to their character and actions Timothy didn't just acknowledge Paul's example he intimately imitated

it for many years additionally Timothy's growth and development were influenced by multiple teachers who poured into his life as indicated in verse 14 so dear friends let us remember that even in the midst of life's fiercest storms God is still by our side let us fix our eyes on him drawing strength from his faithfulness And the faithful ones who have gone before us together let us stand firm imitating their examples and following in their footsteps by doing so we will discover the resilience hope and unwavering Faith needed to weather any storm that comes our way

trust in God's promises for he is faithful and he will see us through God wants to bless you in life among the many things God wants to do in your life he wants you to have the best Experience in your stay on Earth this can mean different things for different people though what you need in your life may not be what I need in my life someone may be listening to this message now and asking God for a miracle of a new job they need that blessing so desperately this might not be the case for

you you may be asking for healing strength to keep going wisdom to deal with the issues around you a healthy relationship With the right person a successful interview and so on all of these things are good and they are all God's blessings and as the great father that he is God wants you to be called The Blessed of the Lord in other words he wants to bless you with the things you need in your life thirr John chapter 2 says dear friend I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well

with you even as your soul is getting along well you need God's Blessing in your life we all do if there is a good thing in your life at this moment that you are genuinely asking and believing God for he's not only able to give it to you but he also wants to give it to you we are nothing without the blessings of God without God's blessings you may try all you can you will never have the peace security and joy which only the blessing of God brings here's what the Bible says in Proverbs 10:22

the blessing of the Lord brings Wealth without pain or toil for it in a different translation it says the blessings from the Lord make a person rich and he adds no sorrow to it there may be other means of getting these things in our lives maybe even faster too however only God's blessings come without sorrow fear regret or pain what is a blessing a blessing is a gift of divine favor it is not something that you produce but one given according to God's kindness most times this Depends not on the individual but on God the

Creator and The Giver a blessing is a favor or gift bestowed by God thereby bringing happy and peace a blessing can be both a reward and a gift a reward in the sense that you earn it through obedience and service to God then a gift when God gives you regardless of your status obedience or Disobedience believing or unbelieving and so on when God blesses you many things become easy when God blesses you your struggles will End it does not matter how long you have been in in a situation when the blessing of God comes on

you it will change everything the blessing of God makes the difference anywhere it rests it makes life complete most times many of us do not know this but many of God's blessings are underrated we are so used to them that we take them for granted we are so used to them that we do not even notice them nor take a moment to appreciate them But if you would open your eyes for a little bit to see how some of the things you have are such a big deal that many people would do anything to have

you would appreciate God more than you are complaining I observed and I know you did too that the co outbreak and lockdown taught all of us how to appreciate each other's presence and time spent together especially family we learned the value of little things such as a handshake a hug spending time Together you know we took these things for granted for so long but our eyes were opened when we learned that in order to keep our loved ones safe we couldn't be as close to them as we wanted or spend as much time together as

we would we couldn't go just about anywhere anymore and so on remember the blessing of God is not just about having things work for you but having the extra that brings peace instead of Sorrow Joy instead of pain or temporary happiness Rest instead of anxiety and fulfillment instead of regret proverb says it makes you rich without adding sorrow to it you could do your thing your own way serve the devil disobey God take advantage of another and you know hit the jackpot somehow everyone might celebrate with and call you a successful and rich person but

you cannot have the extra which only the blessing from God brings because what you have is not God's blessing it may get you good clothes and Buy you some temporary excitement that needs to be renewed repeatedly over time but in the end you cannot call yourself blessed because the elements of God's blessings will be absent from your life in Matthew 6:33 Jesus told us the secret to getting the blessing we desire in our lives but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well prior to this

statement Jesus had talked extensively About the vanity of worrying over your needs your worry doesn't change anything your fears do not make things better crying over what you have or do not have yet is not the way God wants your eyes on him he wants to come first for you he wants to know that you consider him as your Source if we will be honest so many of us and I mean believers do not consider God our source in our Mind's Eye we see God like one of the best options but not the only option

for us We believe that God loves us we believe that he has the ability to change things in our lives we believe he can answer us however we do not consider him our source therefore we do not really put all our Hope on him nor seek to fulfill his purpose while trusting him to meet our needs you see dear child of God the sole purpose of our existence is to serve God's purposes on Earth never forget that God did not put you on Earth just for you to buy a car live in a big House

have children get degrees after degrees and then die after no much more than that God had a purpose and he orchestrated your birth one way or another so that you can be his instrument for making that happen you have a place in God's business my friend and this is the key to Blessings there are three major dimensions of God's blessing that you can have while you are on this Earth the First Dimension is the general blessings where even ungodly and Unbelievable people are recipients for instance the blessing of being alive sleeping and waking up food

shelter clothes a job rain sunshine and so on Matthew 5:45 talks about this kind of blessing there Jesus said that you may be children of your father in Heaven he causes his son to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous you do not necessarily have to work for any of these things you do not necessarily have To be good to have them either they come to us no matter our status in society our background or moral values of course some may have it more than others at

least every one of us can relate with having them these are like some of life's basic Provisions but indeed they are God's blessings to us for which most times we do not give him credit secondly there is the divine blessing which is the exclusive portion of God's children there are certain Blessings that not everyone else can have access to unless they are members of God's family salvation the indwelling spirit of God deliverance from satanic oppression and bondage Eternal hope and access to God's presence among other things Colossians 1:12 says and giving joyful thanks to the

father who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the Kingdom of Light these blessings are reserved specially for God's children and no one else lastly there's the specific blessing that is exclusive to God's children under specific conditions it is is available to all but can be received only as a reward for obedience and service to God a child of God may be qualified to experience it however unless he or she walks the walk they might not have it the Bible confirms this in Exodus 23: 24- 25 Worship the Lord

your God and his Blessing will be on your food and water I will take away sickness from among you and none will miscarry or be Barren in your land I will give you a full lifespan remember that all blessings no matter the category they fall into are products of God's favor they are his gifts whether they are coming as Rewards or simply displays of his affection maybe you are believing God for a special blessing or set of blessings in your life right now and it seems to be Taking forever to come into manifestation here is

an encouragement to you Jesus Jesus told us the secret to getting the blessing of God that does not bring sorrow putting God first seeking his kingdom first before any other thing what does it mean to seek God's Kingdom in order to know this we need to know what God's kingdom means the Bible says in Romans 14:1 17 for the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness peace And joy in the Holy Spirit food is good you need it to stay strong healthy and to grow you need clothes as

well you need to live in a comfortable home and move around comfortably however if that is the only thing you need God for in your life then you do not need God at all many unbelievers curse God and still have those things more than you can imagine seeking God's kingdom means seeking righteousness it means to commit yourself to living right before God Standing in the grace of God that saves you and not living like the world many children of God think they can live any way they want and still access their complete inheritance in Christ

it doesn't work that way the life of the prodal moving forward and further away from home and from the father however the day he made up his mind to return to serve the father he was restored to his inheritance when you seek only materials you will miss God but when you seek him Seek to serve him in love seek to know and having a beautiful relationship with him he makes your needs his needs putting God first means to find out how to serve God's purpose and live for it it means to make God's business your

own trusting him to make your business his it means to commit yourself to knowing and pleasing God would you take a moment to think about the blessing you want this season and then ask yourself am I putting God first here sometimes the Things we ask for may not have God in the picture in fact the Apostle James wrote that this is the reason why most people don't get answers to their prayers James 4:3 says when you ask you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives that you may spend what you get on your

pleasures this is why you need to always spend time with God and grow in your walk with him this way you will learn and know what he wants you to have when he wants you to have it And how he wants you to have it putting God first means seeking to know his plan regarding that need in your life and the ways to do that is through prayer and meditation on his word putting God first means trusting that God's plan for you is better than your plan for yourself putting God first also means being willing

and intentional about using whatever He blesses you with to serve his purpose on on the Earth by being a blessing to another my friend God has to See in your life that he comes first once you are able to deal with this I assure you your blessings will come you would have proven that no matter what comes into your life they won't take your eyes off God or your heart away from him I encourage you to do a heart examination today ask God to help you put him first in your desires and Pursuits ask him

to replace every desire to prove a point to others with a genuine desire to live for His counsel each day of your life as you commit to doing this you will see God working on your behalf and causing things to fall in place for you are you standing in the way of your long awaited breakthrough one of the things I've learned recently is that you can actually stand in the way of the very thing you're asking God to do in your life you need to learn to step aside and let God be God by receiving

his help Instead of trying to help yourself each time God spoke in the Bible he used words like I will go before you I will send my angel before you my spirit will go ahead of you you see he likes to be in the Forefront just as John was his Forerunner Jesus is also our Forerunner who has gone ahead of us to prepare a place for us but more than that he's gone ahead of us to pave the way for us to follow and the Bible tells us he is worthy of our emulation please understand

that God is aware of your needs and personal struggles it's very important we're constantly reminded of these things because we can become so carried away by our predicaments that we forget that God knows or is even interested in us that's right God is interested in helping you solve your problem his love isn't the kind of love that leaves you to your troubles only to Return when things are going well you see God is not a diversion he's not something you use to forget what you're going through he's not like alcohol or some other pleasures of

this world which we use to get excited once and then get back to wallowing in our predicaments no God is life and light he's the life that you need to live in this world above everything that the devil V and hell has to Offer the true meaning and beauty of life is nowhere apart from him in other words you'll never find true meaning or respit outside God Jesus said this in Matthew 11: 28-29 come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn

from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your Souls there's a beautiful song by Austin French that highlights this truth part Of the lyrics go like this are you tired and troubled weighed down by a heavy load praying for change searching for Faith waiting on a miracle are you drowning in questions can't believe where the road is Led there's one who knows the heavy load you hold and he says come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened all who are hurting come to me I'll be

your shelter my yoke is easy my load is light and you can find rest for your soul Listen dear friend our Lord and Master wants you to give him your burdens he promises to give you rest that's what he does that's the kind of God he is you may say well Jesus is no longer here in person how then do I give him my struggles yes he's aware of that and he already provided the ultimate solution as I type this I feel a deeper sense of realization of this truth as well you see while Jesus

was on Earth he couldn't Meet every need in everyone's life at the same time everywhere he couldn't be in Jerusalem and in the United Kingdom at once he couldn't be in Saudi Arabia and somewhere else in Africa at the same time yes he healed everyone he met but only those who were there within his reach but now there are people who believe in him in every part of the world Jesus knew this time would come and the Eternal plan was not to limit His actions or power to Israel or Jerusalem alone but to the utmost

parts of the earth while Jesus was with his disciples their struggles were his one of his deciples was a zealot a freedom fighter he would probably have led riots caused unrest and even killed before yet Jesus still called him and made him his disciple each day spent with Jesus kept changing him and by the time Jesus was ascending to Heaven he was leaving behind a man once a zealot But now turned zealous for God we had people like Matthew the tax collector Peter the fishermen Mary who had seven demons cast out from her and many

others with dark struggles in their lives however the Lord took them by the hand walked them through their struggles and brought them to the other side of freedom and complete deliverance now after Jesus has ascended it may feel like we're on our own but that's not the truth his Ascension to Glory made it possible for him to spread himself abroad to the hearts of anyone who receives him how through his Spirit the Holy Spirit he said in John 15:26 but when the helper comes whom I shall send to you from the Father the spirit of

Truth who preds from the father he will testify of me take note of the words Jesus used to describe the Holy Spirit here the helper the holy spirit being God residing in US is Called many things fire Advocate teacher and comforter but today I want you to see and know him as the helper he's not only instructor but also helper he was given to us to help us you did not receive the Holy Spirit only so that you could speak in other tongues he came to empower you to be whom and where God wants you

to be asking him to help you know and trust him as helper is one of the greatest actions you can do for yourself my Friend take a look at yourself for a moment how much support can you give yourself before you break down do you know that there are tons of people who walk down streets every day with broken minds or broken personalities who are tired worked up and just plain frustrated with all that's going on in their lives the world doesn't make it easier for you to live the life God wants you to live

the media music fashion and the global Industries don't Make it less different difficult for the believer to live above sin rather when you look at them you find a million and one suggestions to sin against God to be irresponsible as a person or as a Christian when you hear the news you have every reason to both Fear The Evils occurring all over the world and panic for the economic situations individuals are struggling with personal battles families governments and communities are also Struggling all of the these are indicators that we need help I've heard people say

heaven helps those who help themselves I'm not sure what they're trying to say but if I'm to interpret it I'd say they're wrong you see this is how the average human mind thinks we consider God a colleague more than a father but you see God is enough he does not need your help like you need him now this isn't a license for irresponsible Faith or irresponsible Christianity The believer is responsible for trusting and doing everything needed to stand in that position of Faith but to say how well you do in your struggles will determine how

much God will help you doesn't align with the word of God for as long as you keep calling on God while at the same time fighting or trusting in your own strength to win whatever you may be dealing with you may never really see God at work for you your life would become a cycle of struggles like coming Out of one and entering into another or one step forward and four steps backward one who's struggling with addiction May probably understand me a little better however like the disciples in the storm when they saw their effort

was going nowhere called to Jesus and he calmed the storm with a word we must come to that point where we say Lord my strength has failed now take over here's what'll happen when we cast our Care on the Holy Spirit not in recklessness but In faith and complete trust as our only hope Isaiah 40 29-31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings

like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint another verse adds Malachi 4:2 but to you who fear my name the son Of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings and you shall go out and grow fat like stall fed Cales when you come to the end of yourself you learn the true art of Faith to trust him it's not faith if you still think you've got some fight left in you at the point where there's no relative friend or support or when you choose to no longer

see them like you do the Lord trust me that's when he will rise up with healing in his wings for You like I said in the beginning of this video are you in the way of the Lord you may have good intentions but you might be heading on the wrong path you want to please God but you keep failing you want to be a good parent a better child or a more fruitful individual in your community but the opposite seems to be the case case remember your life has a purpose and as you yield yourself

to your maker he can work that purpose out in You how do you let the Holy Spirit help you I can make a list here but it'll be summed up in these few words let go and trust him to work through you when you pick up your bible to read or pray for example do not trust your own senses because they will fail you rather trust him to help you see the light in the word you don't need to feel or see anything before you can trust just trust when you wake up and you know

that the devil's going to place sexual Temptations before you trust the Holy Spirit to direct your activities for the day and keep you from people places and things that'll trigger that ungodliness trust him to help you develop a solid defense in your mind against sexual Temptations but when you have to pay a bill or give a presentation trust the spirit to direct your steps prayerfully ask him to show you the areas of focus the right people to talk to the right words to use And the right responses to give Jesus was talking to his disciples

about standing before tough counsels and worrying about what to say and he told them not to worry why because at that point the holy spirit will take over and speak through them confounding their hearers and did he do this yes we saw how he confounded the Pharisees in the book of Acts when the disciples were summoned before the council my friend developing a personal Relationship with the Holy Spirit is key to your Triumph in this world over whatever the devil in hell has to offer he will not only purify you from the inside out he

will keep changing you until you become more and more like Jesus take your current struggle present it to him in prayer and then put your trust in him to help you overcome it it will surprise you how strength will come and A New Path will appear before you this is your season for a Breakthrough the key Point here is stop struggling and let the Holy Spirit help you if you can take a step back and let him take over you will see what it truly means to say the Lord fights for me and I will

hold my peace are you wondering if you're walking on the right path in life sometimes life can be confusing we wonder how do I know what my purpose in life is and how do I achieve it there are so many different paths we can Follow we have ideas and goals that we want to accomplish but we're not sure of our plan is God's plan how do I know that I'm on the right path that God has created for me is this a path to my destiny how do I know for sure amid your questions you

might think God has been silent but if you look intently you'll discover he's been sending you confirmation that you're walking in the right direction God always wants his children to walk on the Right path he says in Jeremiah 6:16 this is what the Lord says stand at the crossroads and look ask for the ancient paths ask where the good way is and walk in it and you will find the rest for your souls but you said we will not walk in it this passage clearly expresses his desire to see his children walk the right path

even though we're usually choosing to walk in the opposite direction here are some signs that You're on the right path the world rejects or dislikes you because of the the truth you stand for if you or your views are being rejected and criticized by the world it's a confirmation that you're on the right path Jesus told his disciples this while he was on the earth if the world hates us we must remember that they hated him too in other words if you're walking on the path Jesus walked the Godless world will hate you and if

the World doesn't hate you and your ideals then you might have to check your path because you're probably not like like Jesus you have two choices you either please God or you please the world but you can't please both because they're opposites you can either offend God or offend the world if you agree with the general trend of the world it means you're not on the right path Jesus in Matthew 7:13-14 says enter through the narrow gate for Wide is the gate and Broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through through

it but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it the narrow gate is a right path leading to heaven and only a few people find it it's narrow because the world's excesses can't go there only those willing to let go of them are able to travel this path on the other hand the broad path is the worldly path and it's Crowded because it permits everything should such a world heading towards destruction have power over your thoughts and actions instead we need to have our thoughts and

actions brought into submission to God's word a holy person is not worldly a holy person is someone who's living solely to do God's will you can't be holy and ungodly at the same time you'll know you're on the right path with God when your path diverges from the world and converges With God's other true Saints secondly you constantly see God working on your behalf and walk walking beside you another sign that you're on the right path is that during the trials and temptations of life you see God's presence with you and his hand in your

situation God's way is the best way but it isn't always the easiest the Christian Journey will have obstacles God will not necessarily remove these Obstacles and challenges from your way however he will be with you as you face them which is the best solution your flesh will fight you the world will fight you and the devil will fight you but God will be with you and he will use this all for your good when you follow him in faith please understand that God never causes Temptations in our lives however he does allow some God uses

tests and trials to help us grow into faithful Believers unfortunately people tend to believe that because they're facing some adversity that means they're on the wrong path and the devil goes about speaking to Believers in their trials saying God's against you God's angry at you he's the enemy and he doesn't love you but Psalm 23 shows you that even with God on your side you can go through the valley of death or very difficult situations the testimony however is that even in the darkest of night you are Never alone so don't think the valley is

an automatic sign that you're on the wrong path for David knew God was was leading him on the right path even though he was going through the darkest Valley God was doing this for his glory and was with David through it all as James 1:12 also States blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because having stood the test that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him God is involved in the lives of his people and their situations victories over obstacles in life are sure proof

that you're walking in accordance with God's path for your life an example is job who although he was on the right path and was even described as a perfect and upright man found himself in a very Grievous situation job lost everything he had except his life and his wife who would later ask him to curse God and die but God was still with him in the end he gave job double all of what he lost the truth is there are some things about God that you can only learn during the season of Trials and temptations

nevertheless always remember that as long as you're with the Lord and are assured of his presence you are on track you have an internal peace every waking moment could be filled with constant struggle you may be juggling multiple jobs just to make ends meet you May feel like nothing is working out no no matter how hard you try you might see yourself as a failure remembering every wrong decision you've made in your life down to this very moment however admidst all these concerns you encounter if you still feel peace and serenity deep inside you it's

a sign from God you're walking on the right path do you remember Jesus sleeping on a boat in the middle of a storm you'll experience the same when you're on the Right path regardless of how terrible the storm is you can sleep and be assured that God is leading you to a safe place you see peace is not the absence of the storm but a steady advancement in the midst of the chaos with confidence in the help of God you'll have great confidence and absolute peace when God is leading you when you're not following God's

will the Holy Spirit who lives in all Christians will bring a loving conviction to your Heart you'll feel a lack of peace in your inner being you will feel a Godly guilt That Makes You Restless until you retrace your steps if you have absolute peace in your mind your life may still be hard and confusing at times but deep down you will know that you're doing the right thing and are truly following God's will for your life you find help and support from people around You God has wired humans to need and help each other

he's made us interdependent upon one another so that we can be a source of blessings to each other therefore if you start noticing miraculous help and support when you need it to do what God's asking you to do it's a sign he's saying you're right where he wants you to be you need like-minded people that God can use to encourage you pray for you and Empower you does the enemy also Favor and bless people with success yes but never towards pleasing God or fulfilling God's purpose this is how you recognize those God sends to help

you their help and support contributes in moving you towards God's purpose and obedience to the word of God you are growing in your alignment with the word and your relationship with Jesus Christ the last thing I want to share is this you know you're walking on the Right path when your decisions agree with God's word and you feel in your heart that you're experiencing Jesus and a deeper level of intimacy than before as your relationship with Jesus grows you will gain a greater and greater understanding understanding of who he is in knowing Jesus personally you'll

see that he never changes and never fails to show his love towards you Jesus gives you hope and a purpose when life gets difficult knowing that the Only way to overcome these difficulties is by depending on his strength and love you can bravely walk through anything life throws at you Paul said in Philippians 3:10 I want to know Christ yes to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings becoming like him in his death the Apostle Paul's singular ambition in life was to know Jesus Christ experientially on a deeper level Paul wanted

something much deeper than mere superficial knowledge of Jesus Paul wanted to connect with Jesus at the closest possible level if you're in that season of life where you want to spend time getting to know Jesus more it's one of the most evidence signs that the right path is in front of you don't worry too much if you're not in that stage yet if you're not there yet you can ask God to give you that desire to get to know him more as he said in Jeremiah 29 11-13 for I know the plans I have for

you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope in a future then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart so are you walking on the right path look for these signs in your life let them be the confirmations you need the advantage of walking on the right Path is that it will save you from destruction and regret there are losses you will escape

when you walk the right path however if you're currently on a different path you can call on the Lord today and ask him to help you retrace your steps he loves you and wants to guide you on your journey in life remember you're a work in progress and God's not done with you yet let him lead you down the right path today God gave us the greatest gift when We were born again the gift of the Holy Spirit the very spirit of God himself living in us when you received eternal life in Christ Jesus you

did not just have your sins erased or receive a new life imparted into your spirit yes those were involved but God did even more for you he gave you his Spirit John the Baptist told his listeners that the baptism of the Holy Spirit would supersede his baptism of water and repentance it would Be a baptism of fire Matthew 31 I baptize you with water for repentance but after me comes the one who is more powerful ful than I whose sandals I'm not worthy to carry he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire there's

no limit to the possibilities that are available to the person who's received the Holy Spirit and if you put your faith in Christ Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross declaring him as your savior and Lord Then he lives in you through the Holy Spirit he also fills us more and more as we pray for his presence with this we receive receive empowerment to walk spiritually while he walked on Earth the Lord Jesus gave hints of the spiritual life that we will live when we receive the spirit John 7 38-39 whoever believes in me as

scripture has said rivers of Living Water will flow from within them by this he meant the spirit whom those who believed in him were later to receive up to that time the spirit had not been given since Jesus had not yet been glorified Jesus made it clear to the disciples that the Holy Spirit would not come unless he went back to heaven and thank God that Jesus is seated in heaven and the Holy Spirit his very own spirit is now on Earth to fill all who believe and receive him in the past before the Arrival

of the Holy Spirit he could only rest on people to use them for a period of time the only set of people that he was upon were the Kings the priests and the prophets he could not live in anyone yet God promised that a time would come when his Spirit would live in the hearts of humans this meant a time would come when the holy God would dwell in unworthy and unclean men this means God had a plan to make it possible for normal people to Host the supernatural Spirit of the Living God Ezekiel 3625

to 28 I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your Idols I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you I will remove from you Your Heart of Stone and give you a heart of Flesh and I will put my spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep my laws then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors you will be my people and I will be your

God glory to God we are in those days of the spirit when the Holy Spirit comes into your life he'll make you extraordinary he always comes with proof he's that significant there will be changes and there will be signs why because he's the spirit of God He's God living in you and he does not come to sit around but to carry out work in your life maybe even though you gave your life to Christ you can't tell if you have the Holy Spirit or if he's working in you or not well here are some signs

that the holy spirit is working in you one you desire to know God more one of the first things that indicates the beginning of the work of The holy spirit in the lives of those who just became children of God is a new desire to know God more and more there's a new desire to read the Bible to pray to share the good news with others and to do what's right this is not the product of a mere change of mind no it isn't it's the work of the Holy Spirit he's the one activating your

desire for him you can't fake it if it's there it's there if it isn't there then it isn't do you notice that the first thing that Happened to people who encountered Jesus or the apostles was that they wanted to follow them and be part of their Fellowship that's right it wasn't just excitement over the miracle but the fact that something was happening in their hearts the Lord was triggering a longing this longing usually starts when individuals begin their journey toward salvation asking questions seeking answers and seeking peace it's activated more when the Individual finally crosses

that threshold into trusting Christ and the spirit comes into them the more you respond to this desire growing in your heart the more you'll seek the Lord and the more your relationship with him will grow two life transforms I believe that the greatest Miracle On Earth Is the miracle of Salvation yes there are many miracles we experience in the Lord however the greatest of them is not the opening of Blind eyes or making the lame walk or even raising the dead it's the miracle of conversion I don't think anyone can explain how a person can

change from a sinner to a saint in a moment but that's what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 516 to17 so from now on regard no one from a worldly point of view though we once regarded Christ in this way we do so no longer therefore if anyone is in Christ The new creation has come the old has gone the new is here transformation begins from the inside and manifests on the outside when the Holy Spirit is working in you certain changes will begin to take place in your life these changes the things that please

God will replace those things that used to be second nature to you this transformation turned Saul the persecutor into Paul the great Apostle it turned Peter the headstrong and Inconsistent fisherman to Peter the loving and bold proclaimer of the Gospel it turned political zealots Tax Collectors Liars thieves and prostitutes into men and women whose lives look nothing like they used to be this is a sign that the holy spirit is working in you you'll begin to notice changes taking place decisions being made and Lifestyles being re-evaluated this is not because someone threatens you but because

you begin to Sense that you're no longer who you used to be it begins from the inside and starts manifesting on the outside three the fruit of the spirit appears when you received Jesus into your heart his Spirit came and settled within your spirit fusing his own life into you recreating your spirit one of the signs of the Holy Spirit working within you is that you'll start manifesting his character Galatians 522-23 lists these characteristics for us but the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace forbearance kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control against such things

there is no law these are also fruit of the transformation because the changes you'll manifest will fall under these categories they show the character of the spirit of God and of a recreated Human spirit in fact the fruit of the spirit is the most important sign that a person is a child of God why because they demonstrate that you've truly been touched and turned from your old life four you will experience Divine guidance and receive discernment another sign of the working of the holy spirit in your life is the activation of your spiritual senses one

of the reasons the Bible says a person without Christ is dead is that The spirit of Christ in you activates the senses of your spirit in biology we know that living things have characteristics among them are sensitivity the ability to respond to stimuli an ungodly man cannot sense God understand God or respond to God other than to First be saved the Bible tells us in Romans 8 6-11 the Mind governed by flesh is death but The Mind governed by the spirit is life and peace the Mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God it

does not submit to God's law nor can it do so those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God you however are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the spirit if indeed the spirit of God lives in you and if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ they do not belong to Christ but if Christ is in you then even Though your body is subject to death because of sin the spirit gives life because of righteousness and if the spirit of him who raised Jesus

from the dead is living in you he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of the spirit who lives in you when the spirit of God is working in you he will guide you and direct you you will not be satisfied with just anything there will be a strong desire To know what God's saying and to discover that through prayer and reading the Bible the Bible tells us as many are led by the spirit they are sons of God in other words the spirit of God leads children

of God maybe you've not been paying attention to his guidance this is a reminder that he's always nearby to guide you if you submit to him there are so many false leaders In the world today including inside the church it'll take the guidance of the Holy Spirit to tell which is from God and which is a lie a solid sign he's working in you is that you know his voice and can tell whether he's behind an operation or not five you will receive a spiritual empowerment this is another sign that the holy spirit is working

in you please remember that these signs are not exhaustive meaning that there's still More signs out there however these are important ones before he ascended Jesus asked his disciples to stay in Jerusalem until they received the power from above what was this power he was referring to it was the Holy Spirit in Acts 1 8 he confirmed that but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes comes on you and you will be my Witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the Earth the holy spirit is the

carrier of God's power he empowers you for the spiritual life although many people live die and go to heaven without really knowing or walking in this power it doesn't mean it isn't there one such empowerment is the ability to pray in tongues this is one of the ways a Christian builds himself in faith and intimacy with God during prayer it's an exercise of faith that builds spiritual stamina And takes you into deeper depths of Power with God it's an ability that enables you to pray for things you don't even know about another such empowerment is

willingness and boldness to declare Jesus when the spirit of God empowers you he will move you from being timid like Peter was when he denied Jesus Jesus to the same Peter when he boldly stood before thousands to preach Jesus what was the difference between these Two situations in the first he was just Peter but in the second he was Peter with the spirit of God one denied and was too afraid to identify with Jesus the other was bold to do so even if it means dying for it when the spirit empowers you you will gain

insights into the revelation of God the word of God will come alive to you prayer becomes interesting you become interested in living a holy life and Receive the power to reject sins that had a stronghold over you before I could go on but I'm sure you get the point the holy spirit is such an amazing blessing and he is close to you if you are a child of God all you need to do right now is to believe that he is there and ask him to carry out his work in your life and when he

does you will become fruitful and fulfill your destiny in a wonderful adventure of Faith are you currently facing some Giants in your life you know those challenges that seem too big or too hard to overcome you have a great opportunity to let God fight your battles and Conquer those giants once and for all in Exodus 15 3 and 6 it says that God is a man of war the Lord is his name your right hand O Lord has become glorious in power your right hand O Lord has dashed the enemies in pieces and in the

greatness of Your Excellence you have overthrown Those Who Rose against you you sent forth your wrath which consumed them like stubble how amazing is that our God is a warrior and he's always on our side when we Face battles we don't have to face them alone so how do we let God fight our battles it starts with being still and knowing that he is God Psalm 46:10 says be still and know that I am God I will be honored by every Nation I will be honored throughout the world the Hebrew word for be still can

also be translated as Abate or cease it means we need to stop trying to do everything ourselves and Trust in God's power and provision but let's be honest being still is hard we live in a world where we're constantly bombarded with things to do and distractions to keep us busy we get so caught up in our own Efforts that we forget to turn to God for help so what can we do to practice Stillness and Trust in God's plan one thing we can do is learn from Abraham when he and Sarah tried to help God

by taking matters into their own hands things didn't turn out as they had hoped the consequences of their actions echoed throughout history we need to learn from their mistakes and Trust in God's timing and ways so so Brothers and Sisters in Christ I encourage you to let God fight your battles when we allow him to take control he shows up in powerful ways that leave us in awe he's always on our side and he will never leave us or forsake us trust in his power and provision and know that he is working all things together

for your good you don't have to face those giants alone let God fight for you and watch as he shows off his glory in your life have you ever found yourself struggling to Fight a battle on your own maybe it's a health issue financial problems or even a difficult relationship it's easy to feel overwhelmed and alone in these situations but I want to remind you that you don't have to struggle alone God is always there ready to fight on your behalf now I know it's not always easy to let go of control and let God

take the Reigns we want to be in charge and fix Things ourselves but sometimes the best thing we can do is to be still and let God to work on his perfect plan for our lives when we let God fight our battles we not only get what we want but we become part of a miracle remember the story of Moses and the giant king o God told Moses not to fear him but to trust that he had already given him into their hands and guess what they won the Battle without even lifting a finger God

doesn't need trained Warriors to fight his battles all he asks of us is to trust him and be willing to wait waiting can be tough but it's during these times that we can spend time in God's presence and learn more about him so my friends I want to encourage you today to let go of your fears and Trust in God's love for you he will fight your battles and lead you to Victory whether you're facing a small problem or a giant obstacle know that God is always with you and if God ever asks you to

fight your battles Don't Be Afraid remember that he loves you too much to leave you stranded he knows that sometimes we need to face challenges in order to become the person he created us to be so let's stand together in faith and let God fight our battles we may not know what the future Holds but we can be sure that with God on our side we will always come out Victorious let God fight your battles because God always wins back to the story of Moses and the land and of Sion God gave Israel the victory

over their hostile enemies but then OG the king of bishan came to do battle against Israel this time instead of God telling them to hold their peace he commanded them to fight The battle themselves but why the difference because sometimes God will simply run a protective shield around you where nothing will be able to get through to attack you other times something will start to slip through to come directly against you and then God will move ahead of you to take it out and when he does oh boy does he do it with power and

might you see the Bible is filled with stories of the various ways God has fought on behalf of his People like in Genesis when God appeared to laan in a dream and warned him not to do anything to harm Jacob and in Joshua when the Lord sent the commander of his army to lead the armies of Israel into battle and for Elisha the Lord sent the host of his armies to stand with him against the arameans God has all power and he's able to do anything he can imagine and since he created the whole world

and everything in it we know he has quite an Imagination so when you're facing a battle whether it's a health issue Financial struggles relationship ship problems or anything else remember God is right there with you he will fight the battle through you or he will tell you to Hold Your Position and do absolutely nothing and then he will move himself to completely take out the attack coming against you don't struggle alone my friends let God fight your battles trust in him and his power he is Always faithful always is Victorious and he will never leave

you or forsake you so go out there and face your battles with confidence knowing that the god of the universe is on your side remember the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 he was facing a massive Army that had joined forces against Judah but instead of trying to fight the battle on his own he turned to God he gathered the people together and prayed declaring their faith in God from the Very beginning and what did God do he fought the Battle for them they didn't even have to lift a finger and that's the same

God we serve today he hasn't changed and he won't change he is still fighting battles for his people so if you're feeling overwhelmed don't try to fight your battles alone turn to God and let him fight for you when you're faced with a difficult situation remember to Proclaim your Faith like Jehoshaphat did declare that God is the ruler over all the kingdoms of the Nations and that no one can withstand him ask for his help and guidance and trust that he will come through for you and when you're feeling powerless remember that you don't have

all the answers Jehoshaphat didn't know what to do either but he kept his eyes fixed on God he knew that God was more powerful than any army and he trusted him to come Through so my friends don't struggle alone let God fight your battles he always wins just like Jehoshaphat gather your community together and pray declare your faith in God and trust that he will fight for you stay still and watch him work he is faithful and he will never leave you or forsake you in conclusion my fellow Christians remember that you serve a God

of War he is fighting battles for you that you don't even know About so when life's battles come your way don't fight them alone turn to God and let him fight for you stay still and watch him work he is faithful and he always wins you don't have to fight your battles alone God is on your side and he's already won the victory for you just like in the story of Jehoshaphat God is telling you to stand still you don't have to figure everything out on your own you don't have to be afraid and Discouraged

God has a plan for your deliverance and it's all already in motion your part is to trust Him worship Him and listen for his Direction when we Face challenges our first instinct is to try and solve the problem ourselves but God doesn't want us to rely on our own strength he wants us to lean on him and his mighty power he's not surprised by our troubles he's in control of them so take your position And enter God's rest let him fight for you no matter what your battle is remember that it's not yours it belongs

to the Lord and he has a plan to bring you Victory just like Jehoshaphat acknowledge that you don't have the strength to face your enemies admit that you don't know what to do and keep your eyes on God when you do these things you position yourself for a Miracle God may speak to you in different ways through peace through a creative idea or through his word but the key is to keep your eyes on him and trust him no matter what when you do you will see the enemy's plans for evil in your life work

out for good so don't struggle alone let God fight your battles he's already w the victory for you just trust Him worship Him and listen for his Direction and above all remember that he is not just Your problem solver he is your everything have you ever felt like your problems are too much to handle and that you just want to run away I know I have but let me tell you something you're not alone over the years I have spent more time being anxious and worrying about things that are Beyond My Control than trusting in

God and walking through the situations that make me afraid when we Face challenges it's easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious but did you know That worrying is actually counterproductive in fact it can even harm our health that's why God tells us in the book of Philippians 46 and 7 do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus to be anxious for nothing but in Everything by

prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let our requests be made known to God and then the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus Jesus himself also tells us not to worry about our lives in Matthew 6 he says do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink or about your body what you will wear who of You by worrying can add a single hour to his Life he goes on to say that if we seek first his kingdom and his righteousness all these things

will be given to us as well now it's easy to say don't worry but it's another thing entirely to put it into practice so how can we apply this in our lives first we need to recognize that worrying is a habit that we need to break just like any bad habit it takes time and effort to Break It We need to consciously choose to trust in God and Give our worries over to him we need to focus on the present moment Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself each

day has enough trouble of its own we need to learn to live in the present moment taking things one day at a time you need to surround yourself with positive influences this includes reading the Bible listening to uplifting music and spending time with other Christians who Can encourage us in our faith today I want to remind you of something that we all tend to forget when we are caught up in the chaos of life we are children of God and we have a heavenly father who is always there to help us out all we have

to do is ask for his help and trust that he can do what needs to be done it's easy to get wrapped up in our worries and problems feeling like we are alone in the world but we are not alone and we don't have to bear the weight of our Burdens by ourselves in fact if we try to do everything on our our own we will only end up feeling more overwhelmed and stressed out remember you are not designed to take on everything and handle everything you are a child of God and your heavenly father

is more capable of helping you through anything that comes your way so don't be afraid to ask for his help you see trying to solve all your problems on your own is a recipe For Stress and Anxiety no matter how strong wise or capable you may be you were not designed to handle everything on your own now I know it's tempting to rely on ourselves and look for solutions to our problems in the world we might think that if we just work harder plan better or make more money then everything will work out but that

kind of thinking only leads to more stress and worry the truth is the peace of mind and Heart that we all crave can only come from one place and that is God he is the one who can give us the peace that the world cannot give so don't be troubled or afraid my friends put your trust in him and he will guide you through any problem or difficulty that you may face and remember you are not alone in your struggles there are many others out there who are going through similar Things and we are all

in this together so reach out to your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and lean on each other for support and encouragement in John 14:27 the Bible says peace I leave with you my peace I give to you I do not give to you as the world gives do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid Jesus promises us the gift of Peace of Mind and heart this is a gift that the world cannot give us so if You're feeling troubled or afraid know that you can turn to God for help and

find the peace that you need think of it this way imagine that you're carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks it's weighing you down and making it hard to move forward but then someone comes along and offers to carry the backpack for you you you don't have to carry the weight on your own anymore that's what it's like when you Ask God for help he takes the weight off your shoulders and helps you move forward with ease are you feeling overwhelmed and looking for ways to cure your worries are you constantly trying to impress everyone

and looking for external validation well my friends it's time to shift your focus Inward and turn to the Bible and prayer for strength and guidance God does not want you to do it all alone He wants you to recognize that he is there to lead you walk you through and guide you through every step of the way and here's the deal he doesn't want to just give you every resource you need to get through your problems he wants to be everything you need in every situation it's amazing how problems can be solved the moment you

decide to trust God in everything when you trust God you don't have to figure anything out anymore as you lean On him you take the pressure off yourself you don't have to try to change things that you've already tried a million times to change and the more you try to change the more frustrated you become because you can just finally say well God I'm trusting you with this and if you can't change it then I guess it doesn't need to be changed the only way you can learn to stop worrying and stop trying to figure

things out is to let go and let God take The Reigns but let's take a step back and talk about the root of the issue trying to make everyone happy with you it's a feudal Pursuit that only leads to anxiety and stress no matter how great a job you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your performance it's an un avoidable fact of life just ask any politician or Entertainer let's turn to Luke where Jesus and his disciples visit the home of Mary and Martha Martha is busy with All the preparations while

Mary is sitting at the Lord's feet listening to what he has to say Martha is feeling overwhelmed and asks Jesus to tell Mary to help her out but Jesus responds Martha Martha you are worried and upset about many things but few things are needed or indeed only one Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her the moral of the story is that it's important to prioritize your spiritual well-being Above All Else Mary chose to sit and listen to Jesus which allowed her to grow internally and spiritually Martha was

distracted by the external preparations which caused her to feel anxious and overwhelmed so my friends let's take a page out of Mary's book and focus on growing stronger internally to handle more let's prioritize prayer and time in the Bible and trust that God will guide us through every step of the way Remember you are a child of God and he is always there for you in Isaiah 4030 and 31 it says says even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they

will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint when we feel overwhelmed we can just say God I don't know what to do help me please we don't have to have all The answers or Solutions we just need to go to the one who does have them have you been on an emotional roller coaster one moment you're up and the next you're down it's exhausting but the good news is that God is always there to take care of us we don't have to worry about

the small stuff our worries can increase when we experience sudden or tragic events but they can also pile up over time when the daily burdens of life Weigh us down even good things like new opportunities can cause fear so what do we do when we Face challenges and fears we give them to God we trust that he will take care of us in Philippians 46 and 7 NIV it says do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God which

transcends all understanding will guard Your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus it's okay not to have all the answers it's okay to be vulnerable and ask for help we're all human and we all have struggles but we're also children of God and that means we have a loving father who will never leave us or forsake us so let's surrender our worries and fears to him and trust that he will renew our strength remember you are a child of God and he loves you more than you could ever imagine you see life Can be tough

sometimes we Face challenges that make us feel weary and weak we may feel like giving up or running away from our problems but if we are wise we go to where there is help we bring them to go God because here's what God says to us in Isaiah 41 do not fear for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand God gives us strength when we are weak he sees and knows everything he sees the

future and understands every angle of what is going on in your life right now he understands how people are viewing it and perceiving it he sees the best solution to your problems when we worry we are basically saying that we are afraid that our life is not going to be the way that we want it to be but when we trust that God has the best solution we are saying God I Believe that you have the best way for me even if it's not the path that I choose or that I came up with we

can trust that if we follow follow God and trust him he will give us every resource that we need every step of the way and at the end he can turn that into something wonderful and beautiful are you feeling a little down lately maybe you've been waiting for something to happen in your life for a long time and you're starting to feel Discouraged it's understandable waiting can be tough especially when we see others receiving Their Blessings and victories but don't lose hope God has a plan for each and every one of us and sometimes that

plan involves waiting you see waiting is actually a season in our lives that God talks about repeatedly in the Bible and while it may seem like nothing is happening during this time God is actually working behind the Scenes he is using this season to prepare us for the blessings that are coming our way so even though it may be difficult we must learn to trust in God in his timing if we don't learn to trust in God while we're waiting we'll spend our lives in a constant state of anxiety and worry but the good news

is that we don't have to do this on our own God is always with us even in the waiting think about it this way most parents know that their Children don't like waiting for anything we live in a society that wants everything done quickly and we're not used to waiting for anything God is not in a hurry he knows what's best for us and he's working everything out for our good so if you're feeling discouraged and like you're stuck in a season of waiting remember this I trust in the Lord God to save me and

I will wait for him to answer my prayer Micah 77 keep praying keep trusting and keep your faith strong God has a plan for you and he will make everything beautiful in his time as Christians we often face a dilemma in our daily lives Society tells us to move faster get things done quicker and not waste any time however God works on a completely different timetable he understands the power of waiting and uses it to make us more like his son it's not easy to wait especially When we see others receiving Their Blessings while we're

still waiting in line we start to question ourselves and even God wondering what we're doing wrong but God is saying you can trust me with this unfortunately our impatience often leads us to take matters into our own hands we think that trust isn't paying off so we'll figure it out on our own this is when many people decide to quit on God and question his love for Us however the problem with waiting is not with God but with our human nature and society that says Don't Wait get things as quickly as you can but we

must remember that God has set the right time for everything Ecclesiastes 3:11 says he has made everything beautiful in its time this means that we must trust God's timing even if it's not the same as ours if you find yourself in a waiting period today know that God is with you Here are some tips and truths from God's word that can help you first pray and seek God's guidance ask him to reveal his plan for your life and to give you the strength to wait patiently trust in God's promises he has promised to never leave

us nor forsake us we can trust that he will keep his promises focus on the present moment don't worry about the future or dwell on the past God Is With Us in the present Moment and we must learn to appreciate and cherish it so don't give up on God just because he's taking too long trust in his timing and his plan for your life remember waiting can be a positive thing that will help you become more like Christ it's so easy to get caught up in our problems and lose sight of what's truly important have

you ever found yourself wondering how long you should trust how long you should keep trusting when Nothing seems to be happening it's okay to feel tired and ready for a breakthrough but we must remember to keep walking obeying and trusting but how do we wait for a miracle the answer is simple never forget that Jesus is worth the wait we must keep our focus on God's character and remember that his nature and character never change we can always depend on him and That's something we can trust in as Hebrews 11:6 tells us it's impossible to

please God without faith we must continue to trust God through everything we're going through and when we do we get to see God move in our lives and reward us with more of himself it's not about idolizing the destination but being present with God in the journey we often want to skip the process and get straight to the blessing But we have to learn how to enjoy God in every moment we don't know what the future holds but we serve a God who does know and he will guide our paths and show us the next

step to take in every moment as we seek Him and lean on him for guidance and instruction if you're in a season of waiting don't give up hope maybe you're waiting for school to end the right Person to come into your life a marriage or a baby or a new job opportunity it may feel like things are happening too slowly but trust that God's timing is perfect keep walking obeying and trusting and your breakthrough will come so let's remember to focus on God's character and keep trusting in Him He is faithful and he will reward

those who diligently seek him let's face it waiting is not easy we live in a World of instant gratification where we want everything now however God's timing is different from ours and that's okay because he knows what's best for us now I want to remind you of who you're waiting on and what you're waiting for you're waiting on Jesus the one who is never late and always on time and what you're waiting for is worth it because God has a plan and purpose for your life remember just because you're waiting Doesn't mean that God is

late in fact there is no situation in your life that God cannot handle he will fight for you protect you and defend you in all ways his love for you is unfailing and unchanging and you can always hold on to that in trying times but we understand that waiting can be tough and our natural response is often to feel angry or doubtful however we can choose to Redirect our emotions and Trust in God's timing we can decide not to exalt our feelings or take matters into our own hands instead we can trust that God has

a plan and purpose for our waiting so let's choose to have faith and patience in the waiting let's not let our emotions become Idols or Rob us of the joy that comes from trusting in God he is faithful and he will come through for us in his perfect timing as Psalm 2714 says Wait for the Lord be strong and Let Your Heart Take courage wait for the Lord you know sometimes it can be so easy to get caught up in our own lives and our own desires that we forget about the most important thing God

now don't get us wrong we're not saying that it's wrong to ask God for miracles or to pray for our needs to be met but what we are saying is that sometimes we can become so focused on those things that we forget about the God who is giving them to us you see God doesn't want to be just a means to an end he doesn't want to be used like a Genie in a Bottle just to grant our wishes and then be cast aside no what God wants is for us to truly know him to

seek him and to love him Above All Else and sometimes the waiting period before we receive our Miracles is exactly what we need in order to learn that lesson maybe God is trying to teach us To trust him more fully to have patience and to let go of our own understanding and seek his will instead the truth is everything we need to guide us in life is found in Scripture it reminds us to trust in God's wisdom not our own and to acknowledge Him in all our ways when we do that he promises to make

our path straight so as you go through your day today we encourage you to focus not just on your own needs and desires but on God Himself seek him love him and trust him with with all your heart and remember the greatest Miracle of all is having a relationship with the God who loves you more than anything today we want to encourage you in the midst of waiting and challenging times we all have moments when we feel like we're stuck in a holding pattern Waiting for God to act but let's take a moment to reflect

on how God has already been faithful in our Lives remembering his past goodness can remind us that just as he has done in the past he is still doing today he is actively working in your life even through the weight and the challenges so what can we do while we wait well we can pray for God to work in us there are two main things we can ask him for humility and Trust when we seek to accept and rejoice in God's timing and handling of Our Lives it requires humility to Acknowledge that we are not

in control and Trust to believe that God is always actively working behind the scenes even if we can't see it or understand it we are in a wait because he makes all the pieces fall into place in the very ways that he knows are best for us one Bible verse that speaks to this is Micah 77 I I trust in the Lord God to save me and I will wait for him to answer my prayer this kind of faith is what God Blesses we may not always understand why we're waiting or what's happening behind the

scenes but we can trust that God is working everything out for our good and as children of God we have discernment the Holy Spirit within us helps us discern truth distinguish between good and wrong and even alerts us when there is danger the Holy Spirit also gives us the right words to encourage someone when they need it so as we wait let's Remember God's faithfulness in the past and Trust in his goodness for the future let's pray for humility and trust and lean on the holy spirit for discernment and encouragement one of my favorite portions

of scripture is Jeremiah chapter 29:1 it goes thus for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope in a Future this verse encapsulates the entire scope of God's heart for his children so even when I am going through difficulty I remember that because of God's good intentions for me I am about to come into something bigger and better for the child of God there may be bad or hard times but do not forget this there is no disadvantage you

will always end well either in this life or in the next I believe that David the man after God's Heart also felt this way about God too so he could pen down the Glorious Psalm even though I walk through the darkest Valley I will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies you anoint my head with with oil my cup overflows he knew that in the face of difficulty he had god with him and that gave

him the assurance that he would come out of that dark Valley of Life Beloved let these words strengthen you today God is bringing big blessings and open doors your way don't lose your grip on life or on your faith hang in there there is light ahead of you your best days are not behind you no they are ahead of you maybe you are wondering how do I know that these things are about to happen what is the sign that big things are going to come out of what you are going through at this moment the

fact that you are watching this right now is Your first confirmation this is not a random message appearing on your timeline for nothing no it is a deliberate message from God to you secondly permit me to share with you a sign that God will bring big blessings and open doors your way I shared it already but let me repeat it I was speaking with a friend and I told her that as long as we are attached to God in a healthy relationship where we stay true to his word and godliness Everything in our lives will

eventually lead us to something better David confirms this in Psalm 66:12 you let people Rite over our heads we went through fire and water but you brought us to a place of abundance because you are his child God will cause everything to turn out for your good this includes causing big blessings to come your way as well as open doors what does an Open Door represent in your life right now for some people An Open Door means a new job opportunity for others it means Market success in a new environment for some people a big

blessing means a miraculous provision of money needed to pay rent success at an examination where you aren't sure of success or promotion at a long awaited venture whatever it means for you I want you to know that these things are not impossible for God to do in fact because you are his child you are qualified to Experience them in your life God has placed certain confirmations for things around us as long as you and I live following him each step of the way for everything he does or will do for you he will give you

different signs to confirm that they will happen once you see these signs know that God is about to to do something for you these confirmations are not the same for everyone or for every case however for most there is a similarity for example when it involves A change of story or a financial miracle if you notice that things just keep getting worse in spite of your prayers and obedience to God's word know that God is about to visit you with a testimony I can show you from different instances of scripture every person who received great

blessings and Open Door had it hard for a while God had told Abraham for instance that he would become the father of many nations yet he and Sarah could not have a child Together for about 25 years a father of many nations should not be short of children but he experienced that until his Miracle came which made it more spectacular Joseph was to become a leader of his parents and siblings and different nations would bow down to him however this great leader went from an ordinary citizen into a slave and then he went to prison

it would seem like things were about to change when he met the king's servant in the prison yet he Was forgotten for another period of time until the day he was remembered for good the Bible says weeping may endure for night but joy comes in the morning it is said that the darkest hour is the one before Dawn well these and many others in the Bible experienced that last hour just like you may be experiencing now and then their mour came your morning is about to show up your light is about to break forth the

fact that things are getting worse is the Sign that you are doe for big Miracles so what should you do when you see this sign the moment you see the sign in your life that things getting worse instead of better here are a few things you need to do begin to praise God over the matter why is it important to praise God when things seem to get out of hand because it is time to put your faith to work work it is time to position yourself for the miracle about to come and nothing positions you

to receive a Miracle from God more than a joyful heart Isaiah 12:3 with joy you will draw water from the wells of Salvation without joy in your life you will not be able to see what God is doing in your life even when it stares you right in the face however with joy you will find new strength as the Bible says the joy of the Lord is your strength the more you acknowledge and praise God above the difficulty in your Life the stronger your faith and focus will be in the midst of the situation the

enemy usually gets Believers here many times Believers give up and start complaining when their Miracle is about to show up they stop coming to church they stop reading their Bible they stop praying or trusting God for anything instead some even begin to speak out against the same things they once believe in beloved this is not how to enter the Open doors God prepares for you on the contrary this will hinder you from entering it will block your entrance you have to learn to stir your heart to praise God in the midst of your crisis and

how do you do this focus on him and on his promises more than on the crises at hand surround yourself with things that tell you how great God is how faithful he is how powerful he is how consistent he is and how timely he is if you expose yourself to these you will Notice that you are exalting God above the situation if the enemy can displace a person from praising God to complaining when their Miracle is about to come he will successfully keep them from it when it eventually shows up another thing to do when

you notice the sign that God's big blessing and Open Door is coming is to hold on to your integrity and stay true to God's word this is a very sensitive one to note many Believers Miss their open doors here the enemy knows that your big day is approaching he knows he cannot stop it however he understands that the only one that can keep you from experiencing this is you yourself so he sends you a copy a less valuable version of the Breakthrough and his copy is one that you will regret in the end this will

require you compromising your faith to get it if you do you'll be missing out on the big picture and settling for something less Than was ordained for you Joseph was set on a path for greatness but the enemy wanted to destroy him before he got there so what did he do he planted a counterfeit on the way if Joseph would lay his principles down and sleep with his master's wife he would be promoted but thank God Joseph knew better than to do this he saw the bigger picture and made up his mind to reach it

he held on to his integrity and although that got him into a tight spot for a while it Paid off later some of us have settled for things far less than what God has in mind because we weren't patient disciplined and focused enough when your Miracle is about to come is the time to stand your ground even more it is not the time to joke around or get distracted it is not the time to settle for something that looks like what God says no it is the time to stand strong and wait it is the

time to believe and stay true don't cheat don't lie don't Forge that document don't say you have what you don't have speak the truth stand for the truth let the opportunity clothed in ungodliness pass the big blessing will come at the right time these two are sufficient elements that if practiced will bring you into the experience of all that God says he is bringing into your life do not lose faith my friend look out and focus on the sign I have just shared with you ask the Holy Spirit to help you to not give In

to the distractions of the enemy ask the Lord to help the light of your faith to shine brighter as the darkness surrounds you so that you can Implement these things you'll be amazed at how fast the things you've waited for will show up like David you will declare when the Lord turned our captivity we were like those who were dreaming it would feel like a dream because it would feel too good to be true but it is true there is no better way to know God Almighty than through the Holy Spirit trusting in the help

of God has no limitations there are unlimited ways the Holy Spirit has helped me in all that I do as long as you trust in him there are several things that I need to happen and if I ask the holy spirit for guidance I get immediate guidance and Direction the holy spirit gives us access to power if you demand it you get it some things that you can't do ordinarily the holy spirit will enable You to do have you ever asked yourself how you got through certain challenges and difficulties you get power after the Holy

Ghost comes upon you there are certain things that the Holy Spirit drops in your mind and as long as you obey you will prosper always follow the power of intuition I was in a vehicle on a trip to port hardcourt in Nigeria many years ago I remembered my mom saying that the spirit had instructed her to turn Another way that could lead us in a different direction where my grandmother resides it was our personal car my dad said no completely not listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit costing her the pain of losing precious

gifts in her life and so many disasters he said we would check on her on our way back we proceeded on the journey but the trip went downhill after that and we had a minor accident that landed us at a police station we Were detained for hours released after 5 hours about an hour into where we were going our engine got burned it went from one problem to another we disobeyed the direction of the Holy Spirit we paid the consequences for our Disobedience the family we plann to visit picked us up the next day in

the early hours we slept in the bush with the entire family as soon as we got home we all fell asleep to rest from the endless journey I was woken up from Sleep by the devastating news of my grandmother's death for a long time my mother struggled with the guilt of not listening in to and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit if only we had followed the instructions she might have seen us all and not died if you do not obey the holy spirit's commands or seek his assistance he will not force you to he

comes in a subtle way you have to invite him into your life he is our help in time of need ask for his help he will Meet you at the point of your needs the Holy Spirit is subtle with instructions it doesn't force you to follow its instructions you must be sensitive to listen do you need help from the Holy Spirit pray about it he is right beside you he tells you what is Yet to Come the Holy Spirit assists us in our weaknesses you may even feel too busy to pray at times but if

you invite the holy spirit in he will give you utterance and you will pray with aptness But the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control Galatians 522-23 says the law is not against such things I was speaking with a friend about love love is not ordinary especially the Agape Love Of Christ it requires sacrifices and dedication you can't love without the Holy Spirit there are lots of sacrifices that come with it but it comes so easily with the Help of the holy spirit because it is one of

the fruits of the spirit no one can have peace of mind without the Prince of Peace the Holy Spirit helps to give people peace what we call Peace is insignificant in comparison to the Prince of Peace he gave the library away without problems each time I pray and am troubled I ask for intervention of the holy spirit for peace immediately I Experience it and I know that yes this can't be anyone other than the spirit of God peace not as the world gives do you know that when the world gives you peace they will take

it back with pains and tribulations but the Prince of Peace gives you Everlasting peace examining the fruit of the spirit is only possible with the help of the Holy Spirit the holy spirit is also the one who gives spiritual gifts to all followers of Jesus so that we all can play our roles In the body of Christ Paul gave us a sampling of those gifts in his first letter to the Corinthian Church 1 Corinthians 12: 7-1 now to each one the manifestation of the spirit is given for the common good to one there is given

through the spirit a message of wisdom to another a message of knowledge by means of The Same Spirit to another Faith by The Same Spirit to another gift of healing by that one Spirit to another miraculous powers to Another prophecy to another distinguishing between spirits to another speaking in different kinds of tongues and to still another the interpretation of tongues all these are the work of one and the same spirit and he distributes them to each one just as he determines he gave gifts to each according to their needs therefore the power of the Holy

Spirit cannot be underestimated the spirit gives liberally that is why you see individual Exhibits according to his gift the work of the spirit is clearly a critical component of the life and Ministry of a Believer without his guidance and help we are powerless to accomplish anything of lasting worth for the kingdom we are just mortal beings with no power of our own but the great news is that we do have the spirit so let us not look down on the power strength the insight and ability that he can bring to bear Upon Our Lives we

have a great helper God Himself indwelling in our hearts in the Book of Romans 8:1 and if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you so let us not be discouraged but empowered and filled with hope to do the work of the Kingdom with the king so very near to us us in our hearts recently we had 21 days of fasting and Prayers and some people got healed

from different ailments and hearing some saw and some had fibroids these are different ailments healed by faith therefore if only you believe in the healing Miracle of Our Lord via the Holy Spirit it is possible we all need help of the holy spirit for various reasons if you fall easily into temp ations you can ask the Holy Spirit to help you he will help you willingly and you will be delivered from Sin you will just realize that you detest the nature of the sin and no longer enjoy it you then run away from it just

try it call on the Holy Spirit to your life right about now mention the sin and tell the Holy Spirit to take it out of your life that's the end of that nature I was looking for a document recently and for weeks I prayed about it until this day I prayed that the Holy Spirit would bring it out and I will be grateful little did I know that it was Hidden in a place where I couldn't see it unbelievably my hands went to a place ordinarily I would not have gone there to search for it

behold I brought it out do you think it was just a coincidence I tell you no that is what the holy Spirit can do all you do is just invite him into your life work with him and see how he will direct your path just imagine in my country the light goes off intermittently as minute as that could be in the night 5 minutes Before the light goes off the Holy Spirit Will instruct me to get up and pick up my lamp if I obey the better for me if not I might have to pay

the price of blindness for not obeying glory be to God Almighty the gift of the holy spirit is unmeasurable obey his dictates and instructions it is rewarding you will receive power after the Holy Spirit comes upon you it is the same power that will help you stand strong to minister to people about the Efficacy of the power of God the power that can make a shy and slow person preach the power that can't be described the deliverance and Evangelical power that heals the sick and changes the heart of a hardened criminal into that of a

saint a drug addict to a preacher the Holy Spirit has delivered many people from various difficulties and given them Everlasting Freedom call him today and he will give you peace never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit has the capacity to manifest destiny the Holy Spirit can soften a hardened heart he can ignite the room with his Supernatural Faith he can convict a person living in secret sin to repent and get right with God truly if the holy spirit is at work anything is possible are you weak that you don't know how

to pray or what to pray for the Holy Spirit can guide you and intercede on your behalf let the Holy Spirit help you Never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit if you allow the Holy Spirit to help you all that seems like heavy load would effortlessly be light the holy spirit is our helper willing to help us through the Journey of Life a young boy who was addicted to drugs and alcohol his friends will return home and tell his mother a Christian addict and believer in the holy spirit that one day my friend my

son will be a pastor and the world will hear his voice everyone Close close to her thought she was berserk today the man owns a church thousands of Believers and an apostle whose family also serves God Almighty With Him Glory Hallelujah the mother spoke the words and made a declaration according to the Bible even though what the son does in school contradicts the future the mother prayed for it to pass do you have anyone in your family or life that you can stand in the gap for tell the holy SP Spirit to help you it

Will come to pass in your very life do you know that life in itself is a journey and just like any other trip you get to take there are the highs and the lows that make up the experience of your trip have you ever been caught in a situation where your life literally feels like a loop a situation where you are stuck with a person a decision or a relationship that clearly takes away your peace many times we become too Close to something or someone that we begin to live on the notion that without that

person situation or thing we cannot exist some of us are so scared of what our immediate life will be like without that thing or person it literally begins to feel like your life depends on them and if you ever never try to Branch out on your own by letting those things go you will not make it Beyond even your first day some of us have clung to experiences and how people treated them In the past and that hurt and Trauma have become the very basis of our daily Lifestyle the pains the agonies and the Sorrows

have become the only experiences that fuel our motivation every life decision you have made has been informed by and through your pain and past experiences you have held on to those experiences and as much as they have served you greatly in guiding and guarding your life God is telling you today that it is time to let go and move On that in itself becomes a two-edged responsibility for you because you have to first bring yourself to the point of letting go take yourself to the junction of moving on now let us consider what the Bible

says about letting go in the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1 there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens a time to be born and a time to die a time to plant and a time to uproot A Time to Kill and a time to heal a time to tear down and a time to build listen to me child of God everything apart from God reaches a point of usefulness in your life or in some aspects of your life many of us will argue that our spouse falls into the same

category but life and time have taught us that everything even our spouses have a limit to which their usefulness in life can reach because just like every man they Too must die day in verse three of the passage we just read the Bible says A Time to Kill and a time to heal a time to tear down and a time to build you have built up so many things in your life that have become fences around you you have used those things and people and their memories to create around yourself an impregnable defense system that

has served your purpose all these years conveniently and you have grown to trust In these defenses but God is here telling you his child that it is time to let go tear them down why do you need to let go life is a continuous journey I know you are comfortable with yourself and you might not see reasons to let go and move on but I would love to bring you to the light of your own existence in God life on its own is a journey as we said earlier from the very first day and when

you cry It becomes a journey to the end and everything within becomes your life The Good the Bad and the awesomeness for those of us in God the reason why you need to let go and move on is because you are on a journey child of God and on this trip you must travel light only the essentials are needed on this trip Hebrews 121 says therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses let us throw off everything That hinders in the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance

the race marked out for us the scripture puts it in better light for me and you that many people's Destinies and existence on this journey will depend on you and me to lead the way for them the race has been marked out for me and you from life's first cry and even if you choose to let go or not the race is going on anyways the reason why you need to shed Those pounds and let them go is because you are on a journey with God and on this journey with God you must travel light

weight puts unnecessary pressure on you on a trip and delays your progress because you always have to be mindful of that baggage and astronauts on the way to the top and Beyond of the earth pack as weightless as they can because the journey to the top requires very little baggages because God is bringing you Into fresher experiences in the book of Isaiah 43:18 God said forget the former things do not dwell on the past and then in the very next verse he goes on to say see I am doing a new thing now it Springs

up do you not perceive it I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland there are newer things God is doing in your life that require the space your past is Occupying God is continuously in the business of keeping our experiences with him fresh every morning the psalmist says his love is new every day so the experiences in your future that God is planning to bring you into are going to need all those spaces and time spent nurturing that baggage to be made available to accommodate the newer better and fresher experiences

God is bringing you into so how do you let go And move on since you know that you must let them go and move on how then do you let go and move on the knowledge of what to do is only a small percentage of what is needed how to do it and actually doing it becomes the most important thing after that to let go and move on you must consider doing all these things forgiveness Ephesians 4:31 get rid of all bitterness rage and anger brawling and slander along with Every form of malice be kind

and compassionate to one another forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you the first way to forgive yourself yes child of God you must look at your heart and tell yourself you have wronged Yourself by keeping your heart in such Perpetual Agony and then you will find peace within yourself every contention in your heart must be brought under the subjection of self Forgiveness then you can move on to extending that forgiveness and compassion in your heart to others around you stop visiting the graveyard of your past the book of Philippians 3: 13-4 says

Brothers I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it but one thing I do forgetting what is behind and Reaching Forward to what is ahead I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God's Heavenly call in Jesus Christ for an injury to heal you must stop touching it there is no moving on or letting go when you are always remembering and making examples of the past that is not letting go child of God for you to let go and move on you must leave the past exactly where it belongs in the Cemetery

where you buried it in your past a man who is focused on his goal doesn't have time to dwell on his past I say that again in other words child of God for you to move forward with God you must cut ties constantly with your past in a situation where your past and present are in a place of constant conflict your future is not guaranteed simply put your future with God on this journey of life depends on your ability to leave the past where it is and exist in the present with God to work your

future out make that trade Matthew 11:28 says come to me all You who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light to move on in life you must make that trade with God the weight you are carrying is too much for the amount of speed you require for the length of the journey God is taking you you need to trade

your heavier burdens with those Of Jesus Christ imagine the joy you feel the relief you get when you drop the groceries that you've had to carry up some flight of steps that is the same Covenant and trade that Jesus is Calling You Into to let go you must trade all those experiences all those hurts all that malice all that anger and disappointments for the peace which Jesus alone can offer you Psalm 55 CH 22 Says cast your burden on the Lord he will support you God will never let the righteous be shaken the second part

of this process is to move on like I said earlier you do not have any business visiting the graves of the past the devil accuses us of our past my pastor told us in church one day that when the devil accuses you of your past remind him of your future and his own life is all about progress and Nobody moves forward looking backward very soon that person will either fall into the ditch or run into a wall because he is looking behind the way forward is forward whether you're moving on from a breakup a setback

or a personal loss everyone can use a bit of help when it comes to healing and even though no one's got this moving thing totally figured out it's always comforting to know that you're not alone the Bible Says in Luke 9:62 but Jesus said to him no one having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God once again child of God the way forward in God is forward in God when you have traded your burdens for those of God remember not to carry any of those burdens anymore

many times you might get tempted into longing for for it there might be times that it might seem like those things you left are better than What you are currently going through but just like God assured us he has a plan for us which is not of any evil but to give you your expected end the question for another day will be what is the end you are expecting many years ago go God asked me to read through and study the life of Abraham as recorded in the Book of Genesis at the time I didn't

know what God wanted me to see from there in time among many things he would be revealing To me the secret of living a life where God has the lead Abraham's life is a great example and one worthy of emulation of the reality that if you let God lead your life everything will fall into their rightful place for your life I want you to mark this day as the end of having everything out of place in your life your relationship mental health Faith convictions of who you are or of what to believe in anymore career

and so on make Up your mind that you are about to learn something that will help you seek God and have him lead you into your perfect destiny listen dear believer where you are right now is the least place you can ever be in life you may be sitting there right now listening to me and thinking oh I think I have it all figed figured out all by myself but deep down I hope you know and agree that you can only convince yourself about a lie for a while soon the truth always wins the World

today is a proof that many people are living a lie we have been convinced to lie to ourselves about almost everything including even our biology identity and sadly so you need however to know this day that God wants you with him he wants to help you become all you are meant to be outside him no matter the heights of life you may climb you can't escape the loneliness and emptiness that awaits you there you may be struggling to hold everything in your Life together right now trying to maintain a status quo while fighting your secret

battles struggling to create a future of peace and rest for yourself and those you care about confused about what to do with yourself especially when it seems everyone else around you knows what they are doing except you I bring you good news if you let God lead you everything else in your life will fall into place the life of Abraham as I said earlier is a perfect example Abraham was Like you and I he hailed from a nation of idol worshippers he wasn't a poor man he had servants and some amount of riches but both

him his father siblings and their families were traveling from one land to another seeking their place in the world Genesis 11 veres 27-32 says this is the account of Tara's family line Tara became the father of Abram nahor and Haron and Haron became the father of lot while his father Tara was still alive Haron died in her of the Calans in the land of his birth Abraham and nahor both married man of Abraham's wife was Sarah and the name of nahor's wife was milka she was the daughter of Heron the father of both Mila and

Isa now Sarah was childless because she was not able to conceive Tara took his son Abram his grandson lot's son of Haron and his daughter-in-law Sarah the wife of his son Abram and together they sh out from ER of the calans to go to Canan but when they came to Heron they settled There Tara lived 205 years and he died in Heron Tara Abraham's father was like a man who lived an uneventful life his sons may have watched him move up and down the countryside simply surviving and not living for anything significant if not for

the encounter with God at 75 75 years old that is Abraham was probably going to just live life the way his father did but thank God he showed up for Abraham this would sound like many of us today we are trying out Different things trying to find your place in the world this is a dangerous way to live you know why many people never survive it though it is not a conversation most advocates for finding yourself want to have but it is the truth some people have ended up in jail in Long histories of failed

marriages Financial bankruptcy difficult addictions and other terrible places in life because we have been taught to experiment with our lives while ignoring The laid down principles for living beloved you have not truly lived or experience true living in your life yet to enter alignment with God's master plan plan for you you could live a 100 years build a million houses but you will one day look back at the end and call it all vanity an endless acquisition of nothing Jesus said in Luke 12:15 then he said to them watch out be on your guard against

all kinds of greed Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions one of the things God told me as I studied the life of the patriarch of Faith Abraham was that God must lead you if you must succeed in this life's journey because of Abraham's life I began to see Life as a journey just like his was because of Abraham I began to see life based on how much I lived for a Divine cause than how much wealth I accumulated I began to see wealth as additional blessings from God And not the definition of

my Essence as a creation of his intent you see as Abraham journeyed from one city to the other there was a long longing in his Earth for a god greater and different from the idols he had been raised to know in his home country of ER or the calans his father and brother had died during this time of moving here and there but his heartfelt longing caught God's attention and the Bible tells us of God's first appearance to him Genesis 12:1 says the Lord had said to Abram go from your country your people in your

father's household to the land I will show you take note that though though Abraham was traveling from one place to another it would seem that that in reality he was still within the borders of his culture background family and everything pertaining to what he was trying to escape have you ever wondered how most kids end up like the parent they never wanted to look like a son who Watches his father get drunk and beats his mother will internalize that he might hate his father for it but raising his hand to strike a woman would register

itself somewhere in his mind he may vow never to do it but it'll take more than just sheer desire to keep him from hitting someone who gets on his nerves one day naturally if he does not learn to control himself and keep his temper in check one day a lady would push him to the wall and he may find Himself doing exactly what his father did to his mother this may not be true about everyone but it is true for most Abraham had left ER of the calans but according to God's statement it is possible

that Beyond physical geography Abraham was spiritually still in the land of ER in his family home carrying out his family traditions so in order for God to begin to perfect the things that concerned him the first thing he told him was come out from this cycle Take this as God's word to you today regarding your life or next decision are you taking that decision because it is what God wants you to do or are you about to move because it's what you have been used to are you nurturing your current lifestyle because it is God's

counsel and it pleases him or it reflects the passions of a person who honestly want to be heard loved understood and find their place in this world until you tell yourself the truth That the vacuum in your heart can only be filled by God God cannot do so much for you why because unlike Abraham there isn't any space for him to show up for you yet Romans 8:14 tells us for those are led by the spirit of God are the children of God this is one of the signs of a Believer it is a proof

of God's involvement in your life it is proof that you have subjected your life to him to do as he pleases this is not an easy thing to do by the human will or senses But it is the best thing to do this is why we have the spirit of God within us God has given the Holy Spirit to help us not only instructing us but also empowering us with the grace to walk in obedience and alignment with God the holy spirit is the spirit of the godhead the father Son and the Holy Spirit living

within you as a temple 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 says do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who is in you whom you have Received from God you are not your own you are bought at a price therefore honor God with your bodies each time you make up your mind to pray study your Bible stay away from sin and share your faith or a word of encouragement from God with someone who needs it you are honoring God with your body each of these things exercise you spiritually and open you up

to be led by the Lord concerning the Affairs of your life if you make up your mind to be a Christian You are telling God you believe in his plan for your life and you agree that this plan is grounded in the Fulfillment of his will on Earth his will not yours being a follower of Jesus Christ means agreeing to accept his plan for you if you can understand this it will help you see why you mustn't just accept any offer from anyone or anywhere it will help you see beyond the physical situation of things

you won't panic when things seem out of place then why Because you will know that you are on course in God's cause hence wherever he leads you is the right place to be whatever he asks you to do is the right thing to do and whoever he brings into your life is the right one for you it may feel complicated and difficult to understand or accept but it is the best way to live for when God leads you it becomes his responsibility to put everything in your life in place so don't worry if it seems

you are Following God's instructions and things are looking off right now in time everything will fall into place keep trusting him however if you are yet get to know God's leading or seek it or accept it go to him in prayer and willingness to be led he is willing to help and Lead You silence all the noise around you take time away with him have a fast if need be just make out time between yourself and your God if you can maintain this consistently for long you Are opening yourself up to his leading when God

leads you one of the most significant things you will have is inner peace you won't be disturbed by how things are going you will be at rest knowing that the battle is his and the Victory will be yours talk to God today and ask him to lead you and watch your home relationships business and Affairs begin to fall into the right positions of security in our journey as Christians we Will undoubtedly be tested steadfastness in our faith is what we seek to cultivate the trials may take shapes in various form forms a notable one being

Temptation persistent adversary that strikes when we're at our most vulnerable knowing all too well what will lead us astray in other instances we Face a struggle of diametrically opposed values the worldly norms and God's teachings the craving for societal Acceptance can sometimes make it tough to consistently adhere to the righteous path moreover life has its way of throwing curveballs our way in the form of profound trials dealing with grief countering loss enduring sickness or grappling with disappointment these moments have the potential to unsettle the sturdiest of faiths life is akin to a winding path full

of unforeseen bends and sudden detours moments will arise where it Feels as if the world is conspiring against you but remember as a follower of Christ you are equipped with an extraordinary advantage the boundless love and guidance of our heavenly father who assures us Victory this calls for the courage to stand un flinching in our faith even in the face of overwhelming odds during such tumultuous times it becomes all the more crucial to let God guide us towards Triumph when circumstances seem too Steep to climb we must recall God's promise and stand firm in our

the architect of the cosmos is your trusted companion throughout your life's journey however to tap into this Divine source of strength we must build a strong Foundation of faith we must introspect and ask ourselves what anchors our faith why did we choose to walk in the footsteps of Jesus why do we commit to serving him what are our convictions about God and His word it's Our understanding of these questions that gives us an unwavering Faith this conviction becomes the bull workk that helps us to weather life storms leading us to the shores of Victory this

in the scriptural text of First Kings 1821 when he asked the people how long will you oscillate between two Divergent paths if you acknowledge the Lord as the one true God then devoutly follow him if You believe baale holds that position then earnestly tread his path Our Lives often mirror this dilemma we vacillate between our allegiance to God and the seduction of worldly enticements such indecisiveness can debilitate our faith the Divine is asking us the same question today how long will you be torn between two paths God is indeed the one true divine entity and

his benevolence is unassailable we must not fall prey to the de ctive Whispers of the adversary Tricking us into believing that worldly pleasures could surpass God's Bountiful blessings it's a fallacy Mirage the omnipotent God is the sole Authority who knows our deepest desires our pains our aspirations and our life's journey he alone illuminates our path towards life love and the ultimate Victory look at Abraham's life a testament of unwavering Faith Like Us Abraham was Immortal yet he was bestowed with a Divine promise even in the absence of tangible evidence Romans 4:20 beautifully narrates in spite

of no concrete evidence regarding the Divine promise Abraham remained undeterred in his faith and not only became an instrument of Glory for God but was also completely convinced that God had the power to fulfill his promise such Faith was not born from perfection abraam like us was flawed yet his faith was fully convinced are we not too fully convinced today that our god holds the power to fulfill his promises remember Exhibiting courage and strength does not imply a complete absence of fear or doubt instead it signifies that despite such emotions we place unwavering trust in

God's faithfulness and lean on his might within his divine presence we can find the courage to confront our adversaries in fears by accepting God's Commandments and placing our trust in his promises we can navigate life's obstacles persevere through hardships and find Triumph Hold steadfast onto Your faith for God's promises are unwavering and is love unfailing in the grand tapestry of life we often find ourselves in positions that might seem insurmountable grappling with trials and tribulations however as followers of Christ Christ we're called to take heart for God's grand design for us is magnificent and his

whole trust in The Lord don't depend on your limited perception in everything you do let him be the guide and he will clear the path for you these verses teach us the profound meaning of entrusting Our Lives completely to God to do so we must surrender our circumscribed understanding and seek his Divine wisdom in every aspect of our existence by submitting to him you will allow the Divine to chart your course the road may be shrouded in mystery yet with God as Your compass you can move with assuredness you stand in the Victor's Circle the

moment you trust him fully the level of trust in God is a leap of faith letting go of your personal wants and recognizing that his plans EX ceed anything we could dream of it's about giving up control and accepting his unfailing love and steadfast faithfulness as your beacon even when the path is foggy or strewn with hurdles your faith provides you with the Certainty that God will carve away for you through the densest of challenges this faith in God certifies that he is silently at work directing events towards your ultimate benefit this realization allows you

who have been called according to his purpose this verse signifies God's Active participation in your life even in the face of difficulties every trial serves a purpose with God weaving together events to yield good it may be perplexing to consider how your pain suffering or setbacks could possibly be used for good but remember his ways are infinitely greater than ours his vision for your Victory will not fall short as apostle Paul penned now thanks be unto God which always causes us to Triumph in Christ in the battles of love and Life Trust in the certainty

that God is leading you to victory stand firm in your faith knowing that in Christ you are more than a conqueror this is God's message to you today it look like everyone is turning their backs on you and you're standing all by yourself for no reason whatsoever you may be beginning to think something is wrong with you but God is saying that he is isolating you for a reason there is an unexpected beauty that can only Come to be in your life when you are first set apart Oscar Chambers once said when God gets us

alone through suffering heartbreak Temptation disappointment sickness or by thwarted friend ship when he gets us absolutely alone and we are totally speechless unable to even ask one question then he begins to teach us what a statement packed with so much truth let me Begin by saying that the world is a very noisy place and you are likely to get so caught up in the mix That you forget the Lord and whatever he is saying to you or about you you can become so caught up with making money finding and pursuing a new career making new

friends or settling down that you don't even hear the things God wants you to hear or see the things he wants you to see but permit me to say that if you are going to experience and have the best of God then you must let God interrupt you when this happens God will isolate you From many things and from many people sometimes it will even feel like your life is falling apart but don't worry God is not about to destroy you but to remold you into the perfect Beauty you were meant to be from the

beginning these words from Oscar Chambers are an encouragement to us as Christians when we Think We're Alone We're Never Alone God always goes before us and fights our battles often we can be a stubborn people and we only listen To our own advice or the advice of others before ever going to the Lord we trust the value and the opinion of other people above the word of God so sometimes the Lord has to go the extra mile to bring us to our knees before him it takes a hard lesson to bring us to the point

where we're ready to be taught often times God has to strip away everything and everyone around us so we will only listen to him when we finally do listen we realize that God is the First place we should go instead of the last he knows the storms of life we go through and he knows how to bring us through those very storms I remember the story of a well-respected servant of God I heard about some years ago he had been so busy with his ministry itinerary that he hardly had time to pray or hear God

he was busy attending meeting after meeting organizing Church structures and serving the body of Christ but he was no longer hearing from the father like he Used to you know sometimes we know these things but our pride won't allow us to admit that something is off instead we try to use activities to validate our feelings our religious activities act as a form of emotional or spiritual high that we can get by on but deep down we know we need God's help we're stuck feeling alone and confused and deeply want assurance and clarity this man of

God was in this situation but of course he hadn't come to terms with it then God Used an unexpected means to get his attention on one of his flights the pilot announced that the plane had some mechanical issues and they would experience some turbulence of course everyone began to panic and pray however this man of God noticed how a canopy of peace came over him and he sensed the presence of God right there in the midst of the the chaos he heard the voice of the Lord speaking to him the Lord told him it seems

you've been too busy doing My business that you no longer have time for me now I want to talk to you about some things you see God couldn't communicate with him not because he didn't want to but because the man had been so involved with activities that he wouldn't hear even when God spoke and he could not see the things God was communicating to him sometimes God will use the most unlikely and most inconvenient means to bring us to the end of ourselves where we have no Option but to turn to him usually God will

always insist until he has our attention sometimes these things may not be convenient and may go against us but in the end because we are his children he won't push us to destruction but just enough until he can work in us one person God did this with in the Bible was Moses another person was David if you study the lives of these two people you will see how God used something as unpleasant as being on the Run sent far Away from all they've ever known so that he could turn them into the people he wanted

them to be Moses was a well-loved prince of Egypt he probably grew up learning about his Hebrew lineage from his biological mother who was hired to be his nurse by Pharaoh's daughter as he grew up up I believe God began to lay it on Moses heart to help his people you see Moses was God's chosen man for the job and the Bible confirmed that his parents could tell he was a special Child that's why they took steps to make sure he wasn't killed by the King as a baby Hebrews 11:23 by faith Moses parents hid

him for 3 months after he was born because they saw he was no ordinary child and they were not afraid of the king's edict however even though Moses was a special child with a great Destiny he needed to be prepared for that Destiny you see God has a purpose and he also has a plan his plans are as important as His purpose you cannot skip his plans and seek his purposes if you need God's purposes fulfilled in your life then you must be ready to follow his plans Moses had not yet known God's plans and

had just been driven by the desire to save his people this landed him in trouble when he killed an Egyptian for his actions Moses had to escape into exile to avoid being killed by the Pharaoh this would look like trouble but God used it as the opportunity to carry out His work in Moses god used the unpleasant situation to bring Beauty into Moses life now Moses was far from the pleasures and familiarity of Egypt the support of his kin and the environment he was used to God was separating him from everything he had ever known

so that he could bring out the best in him I don't know what you are going through right now maybe you're in this situation because of a mistake you made maybe you're going through this Because you honestly didn't know better and now you just wish things could go back to the way they used to be maybe you have been praying for God to help but it seems like you are calling and there's no answer don't stop praying my friend don't stop waiting don't stop serving God don't stop going to church yes no one seems to

see God's presence in you right now yes people may even say you have offended God and he has abandoned you they probably said the Same thing about Moses remember that one of the people he wanted to help was the one who reminded him of the Egyptian he killed they accused him of wanting to kill them too even though all he wanted to do was help them however those were the words of men not the words of God God is invested in your life and he won't stop until he gets it done he won't stop until

you become who he created you to be and for this to happen God will separate you from many things You may have been used to because of the great Destiny and God's calling in your life he may separate you from some friends some family members some environments jobs or career choices I have heard of people not accepting Christ's leadership in their lives because they were afraid that he would interrupt their plans though I feel sad for them I'm not about to tell you otherwise because that is the truth he said in Isaiah 55 8-9 for

my thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my ways says the Lord for as the heavens are higher than the Earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts his ways are not yours or mine permit me to respectfully say that many times we forget that God does not exist for us but rather we for him he created and placed us on the earth for a reason he already has the blueprint for our lives and that blueprint will at some Point demand us to be set apart from

the world in order for those plans to come to pass as uncomfortable as it may seem we can draw comfort from these words of Jesus to his disciples when he told them it would cost them everything in their pursuit of him Mark 10: 29-30 so Jesus answered and said assuredly I say to you there is no one who has left house or brothers or Sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake in the Gospels who shall not receive a h hundredfold now in this time houses and brothers and sisters

and mothers and children and lands with persecutions and in the age to come eternal life there is a guaranteed recovery for all who let God lead them and trust him there is a guaranteed hope of blessings for anyone who holds on to the Lord through their seasons of isolation until Their change comes do not let go even when you don't understand why God is isolating you there is a reason and that reason is to give you a hope and a future not defiled by your weaknesses or past shame but clothed in God's glory believe me

my friend and keep holding on God is trustworthy follow him and you will never get [Music] lost in the Book of Revelation a vivid tapestry of the cosmic battle unfolds The devil's deception is his ultimate downfall cast into the Lake of Fire alongside the Beast and the false prophet their torment is Relentless a grim fate indeed yet it highlights the magnitude of the enemy's cunning his desire to entangle us in his Web of Lies to drag us down into Eternal suffering but friends let us not be fooled for the word cautions us do not not

be deceived God is Not mocked for Whatever one SWS that will he also reap sowing seeds in fertile soil yields a harvest abundant but what we seow matters greatly sew into the desires of the Flesh and Corruption shall be our yield so into the spirit and eternal life shall flourish as children of the almighty our hearts should be fertile ground for Godly Pursuits in the realm of dating this principle is strikingly relevant sew into honesty Kindness and authenticity SE into genuine connections anchored in shared values and Faith just as Christ carried his cross so too

must We Carry the Cross of discernment our actions intentions and choices are the seeds we seow let us water them with prayer and nourish them with wisdom embrace the adventure with hope for the Lord's promises are unwavering remember delight yourself in The Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart Embrace a sense of mystery in your journey just as an artist doesn't reveal their Masterpiece until its completion certain chapters of our lives are meant to unfold in due time our heavenly father Delights in surpris prises unveiling His blessings at the perfect moment

consider your heart as a garden just as you wouldn't sew weeds amidst the prize flowers guard your Heart against the influence of scoffers while it's our Christian duty to love all and share the gospel it's equally crucial to be vigilant about the company we keep when you're around scoffers it's like inviting pests into your garden they can hinder your growth and choke your spiritual Roots remember the story of Noah he spent years building an ark obeying God's instructions even when others scoffed in the end his obedience saved His family and brought them to A New

Beginning just like Noah when we focus on delighting in God's word and following his guidance we too can weather the storms of life and find ourselves on the shores of blessings 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Whispers to us of a future beyond our wildest dreams they who are alive shall be caught up together into the clouds with them who remain to meet the Lord in the air so shall we be ever with the Lord Picture this a moment when Believers will rise together ascending on the wings of Faith to meet the Lord in the sky it's a

breathtaking glimpse of unity and eternal fellowship and Revelation 3:10 Echoes with a promise of protection since you have kept my command and endure Patiently I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth a shield Against the trials that Loom on the horizon a Divine assurance that you'll be safeguarded by your steadfastness the scoffers may want you to doubt these verses to second guess the word of God but instead of wrestling with doubt stand firm Safeguard your faith like a

precious treasure shielded from Doubt's corrosive touch how by intentionally surrounding yourself with those who uplift your spirit who fan the Flames of Faith Within you imagine you're on a grand Expedition climbing a mountain that leads to the Pinnacle of God's presence as you ascend you encounter Boulders of distraction and crevices of skepticism the scoffers like slippery Stones underfoot threaten to make you stumble but remember this you have the power to choose your companions on this climb seek out fellow climbers who encourage you who hold out a helping hand when the path gets tough and as

you Continue your Ascent remember the wisdom in 2 Peter 314 and 15 so then dear friends since you are looking forward to this make every effort to be found spotless blameless and at peace with him bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him it's a guide book for this journey offering a road map of Readiness be diligent it says diligent in your Pursuit of a life that radiates the Peace of Christ let your actions mirror the patience of Our

Lord like a beacon of Salvation to all who see Hold On To The God Who is holding you together weaving the threads of your existence into a tapestry of purpose within the intricate threads of our existence we find ourselves navigating the complex world of relationships in this Pursuit we are Called to a higher standard a Divine code of conduct that sets us apart from the Norms of the world the threads of our character and behavior begin to weave a new pattern when we surrender to Jesus Christ as The Sovereign Lord Of Our Lives we are

encouraged to relinquish the desire for Retribution to release the burdens of retaliation instead we are challenged to respond to adversity with a spirit of godliness How radical how countercultural to respond to hatred with love to lift up prayers for those who stand against us it's not a path for the faint of heart yet it's a journey emboldened by the teachings of our savior in the tapestry of human potential we often encounter limitations the mountain of righteous living seems insurmountable but let us draw strength from the words of M Matthew 19: 26 Echoing through time with

man this is impossible but With God all things are possible on our own we stumble we falter the threads of our own efforts Fray and break yet in the midst of our inadequacies the Divine thread of the holy spirit interweaves with our being and it is this wondrous partnership that enables us to live our faith each day to embody the essence of righteousness to embrace forgiveness and to extend love beyond measure just as a skilled Weaver Creates intricate designs by blending colors and textures so does God skillfully weave our lives and in this Grand tapestry

We Hold On To The God Who holds us together we are not abandoned to navigate the challenges of relationships on on our own instead we are embraced by The Loving Hands of our creator who orchestrates a symphony of Grace forgiveness and transformation amidst the Shadows that Sometimes shroud our journey when the weight of the world presses upon us it's in these moments that we find soless in reaching out to the almighty much like David who traversed the Realms of despair we too find Refuge by pouring our hearts out to the Lord reflect on the Timeless

Psalms resonating with phrases like when I found myself in the grip of Anguish I raised my voice to the heavens my cries Like incense ascending to my savior or perhaps oh Sovereign one incline your ear as I utter my supplications in your mercy respond to my plead today my dear friends let us Forge a connection with the Divine imagine if he can choreograph the cosmic dance of stars and galaxies then certainly he is orchestrating every detail of your life just as he holds the stars in place he tenderly cradles you in the palm of His

hand guiding you through the Labyrinth of emotions when the clouds of Despair gather overhead remember that even the Moon obeys his command moving gracefully in its ordained path in the midst of financial storms let your faith be your anchor for the one who holds the moon in orbit can also navigate you through turbulent waves of economic uncertainty look closely at the intricacies of Creation The Very atoms That compose your being can you fathom the wisdom required to harmonize these minuscule particles take heart for the same wisdom is at work in your family Dynamics when fractures

appear lean into the one who expertly holds the atoms together and trust that he can restore Harmony to your household the vast oceans spanning The Horizon surrender to his authority so too should you surrender your marital struggles into his capable Hands just as he commands the waters he can also mend the current of your relationship bringing healing and renewal as the sun sets on this Earthly life casting Shadows of grief and loss remember that he who commands the son can also bring comfort and peace in the face of death just as he holds the celestial

bodies in their courses he holds you in his Embrace guiding you through the Journey from this life to the next Those moments of Doubt fear and despair they don't Define you they're merely chapters in a story still being written a story that's authored by the same hands that sculpted mountains and painted the skies John 3:16 echoes in the chambers of our hearts like a Timeless Melody for God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal Life This Love This sacrifice is the ultimate

Testament to the lengths God would go to ensure your unyielding strength just as Galatians 6:2 reminds us we are called to Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ picture a community where burdens are shared where compassion is the current Y and love is the language each act of kindness each moment of empathy draws us closer to the Divine Purpose of our Existence but here's a revelation that might shift your perspective when we hold on to God we're actually allowing him to hold us together it's like a dance of trust and

surrender where our steps align with his Divine choreography the chaos might still swirl around us us but we remain steady held by the one who breathed life into our very being and yes our journey might sometimes lead us through the valley of Hate and Discord but remember the presence of Darkness only amplifies the Brilliance of light let's not cast judgment on others instead let's turn the spotlight inward let's examine our own Hearts ensuring that the love of God per Ates every corner so dear friends as you navigate the tapestry of Life remember to hold on

not just to The Frayed edges of circumstance but to the unchanging and unwavering hand of the Creator he who holds the universe together is also holding you with a love and grace that transcends all understanding may you find strength hope and reassurance in the arms of the God who is holding you together when you study the Bible you'll discover that right from creation humans were intentionally created by God for himself and his pleasure this means that you did not originate under some mud or come from Mars like some people may say The Bible tells us

that each one of us was created either male or female in the image of God Genesis 1: 26 6-28 says then God said let us make Mankind in our image in our likeness so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky over the livestock and all the wild animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground so God created Mankind in his own image in the image of God he created them male and female he created them God blessed Them and said to them be fruitful

and increase in number fill the Earth and and subdue it rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground I love how someone put this in one of the videos I came across one time they said when God created every other thing he spoke to something for them to appear for example he spoke to the Earth and plants and trees came forth he spoke to the water and aquatic creatures were Formed however when it came to man the Bible says God spoke

to himself as the trinity the father Son and Holy Spirit and it records that he made man after his image and likeness hence everything is made a creature connected to a source which in turn becomes their natural habit and without which they would not survive God Is Man's natural habitat and that is why the Bible tells us that we are like dead beings without God as long as we walk in Our own ways I love this because it helps us see how much we need God in our lives even more than we know you see

after creating Man In His Image God breathed his own life into him if you read further in Genesis you will see that man was God's Fellowship partner he frequently visited Adam and was the source of Adam's empowerment you will see that empowerment when Adam named all the animals God brought to him knowing their names without God telling him what They were supposed to be called he also demonstrated that even though he was in a deep sleep when Eve was created when he woke up and saw her he could tell she had come from him and

even called her woman for the first time however when they both fell from glory and lost their place in Eden Humanity was plunged into a life without God's presence and became subject to the Dominion and control of the devil but through the death and Redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross the Bible tells us that we are restored to openness with God and the spirit of God can now live in us again you see the holy spirit is the third person of the Trinity he is the demonstration of the multifaceted nature of God that

is able to step down and live in our natural bodies without completely consuming us I believe all these things demonstrate the love of God for his most prized possession mankind you and me you see if you read through The Bible you will see how ordinary people became extraordinary when the presence of God Came Upon them they became literal carriers of God everywhere they went people could tell there was something extraordinary about them the Patriarchs of Faith Abraham Isaac and Jacob demonstrated this even in the midst of famine they thrived when pharaoh and ailec tried to

take Sarah away from Abraham God took it personally and came for them when laan went after Jacob to try to hurt him God warned him in the night to be careful what he said to him when Joseph's own Brothers sold him into slavery out of jealousy over his dreams of greatness the Bible tells us that because God was with him he enjoyed favor even as a slave and a prisoner I could continue but I'm sure you get the point I hope to use the message in this video to encourage you to seek after God's presence

until you become a carrier too please understand From that the moment you become a child of God his Spirit comes to live inside of you however even though the spirit of God lives inside of you you you need to receive more of his presence so there is an overflow to those around you so that you can be considered a carrier let me give you an example the Bible says that we have the spirit of God as a guarantee of our inheritance Ephesians chapter 1: 13-14 says and you also were included in Christ when you heard

the message of Truth The Gospel of your salvation when you believed you were marked in him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the Redemption of those who are God's possession to the praise of his glory this happens at the new birth but there is another outpouring that creates an overflow of the same spirit that is beyond just us making our lives notable to others this Is what happened on the day of Pentecost when the disciples gathered in the upper room and the spirit descended as a

mighty rushing wind when he rested on them the Bible says that they began to speak in other tongues giving glory to God the same timid Peter who denied Jesus a few days before stood before a crowd of thousands and boldly proclaimed the gospel leading 4,000 to Christ that my friend is evidence of the overflowing Spirit of God in you then as recorded in Acts the Bible tells us that they gathered to Pray Again the place shook they were filled with the spirit again and they began to speak in other tongues preaching the gospel with boldness

despite being threatened by the religious leaders these are evident signs that you have become a carrier of God's presence nothing can stop you because you are overwhelmed by someone greater than what Is before you do you remember 1 John 4:4 you dear children are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world let me list some signs that will accompany you when you carry the spirit of God's presence overflowing in your life number one when you carry the spirit of God's presence

in your life you will discover a deeper sense of confidence in God that produces boldness In the face of frightening or uncertain situations this was evident in the lives of people like Abraham David Joseph Moses and the disciples in fact at one time when people saw the boldness and wisdom of the disciples knowing that they were Ordinary People they knew that this was the handiwork of Jesus they concluded that they had spent time with Jesus the Bible even tells us that when the spirit lives in us he will Quicken our natural bodies Supernaturally my friend

you need to ask for Grace to spend more time with the Lord until people can tell that what they see in you is not natural the many distractions in the world may feel exciting but they are robbing you of the the wonderfilled life of being God's vessel to the world and the price is straightforward spend more and more time with Jesus number two when you carry God's presence you will see certain Supernatural manifestations in your life the Bible calls these manifestations of God the gifts of the Spirit the gift of God is actually the overflowing

of God's presence with someone touching the lives of those around him or her did you notice how someone touched Jesus's clothing and received healing without Jesus even laying hands on her did you also notice how Peter's Shadow healed people when he walked past them on the street how about handkerchiefs taken From Paul's body healing people David's slingshot killing the Giant Goliath in one strike Joseph interpreting Pharaoh's dream easily or Daniel being able to tell King Nebuchadnezzar his dream and its interpretation without being told any details all of these are AR human Works they are the

results of people who became vessels for the spirit of God when you stood before them they were ordinary men like you however what made them great was that wherever they went They Carried God and In God's Presence everything is possible I pray that these words are stirring up a hunger in your heart for more of God's presence in your life honestly our world today needs more than just words of identification with Christ they need to start feeling God in our lives but we cannot give what we do not even have can we number three when

you carry God's presence people will feel more comfortable to share their personal issues with you and Will testify that they feel safer talking with you when I was younger I once heard people say this about men and women of Faith whom I admired so I began to seek this effect too until I heard people say it about me I didn't practice anything it was just the outflowing of God and me this is what happened with the woman at the well and Jesus she probably wouldn't tell strangers about herself so easily but she did with the

Savior why there was something soothing Loving and peaceful about him if you ever hear this know that it's not you but the presence of God that you carry number four Joseph is proof that when you carry God's presence you will see favor the Bible says that when a person's ways please God he would make even the person's enemies to live peacefully with him Joseph was a slave yet he was promoted to Chief Stewart over his master's home when he was wrongfully Accused by the Master's wife And imprisoned he found favor before the prison keeper and

his fellow prisoners this favor would go on to speak for him before Pharaoh giving him the opportunity to use his gifts to interpret the King's dream and save thousands of lives people are bound to help you when you carry God's presence number five another sign of God's presence in your life is that you are sensitive to sin and uncomfortable when you see any sin in your life or around You anyone who enjoys the presence of sin or enjoys the practice of sin is one who lacks the presence of God no matter how attractive sin is

you will find that you are continually Restless even when you sin you will not find peace until you seek mercy and repent this is a sign that you carry God's presence final point on these signs is that your heart will always swell with compassion for others especially the unbeliever or the helpless you will find yourself less Judgmental and more truthful and always think of how to contribute to their transformation it will always break your heart to see people on their way to hell and away from Jesus now the word of God clearly draws the picture

of how to nurture and accommodate more of the spirit of God's presence in our lives give yourself time in prayer and fasting give yourself to studying and meditating on the word share your faith with others when you do these things you are opening Yourself up to the spirit of God's presence as a channel for him to touch the world around you these are not things you do once or twice and expect to see manifestations they must become your lifestyle you must ask that God help you to love him him and seek Him genuinely until you

become a worthy vessel for his use don't ask him to make you his vessel because you want to have power that is a selfish desire and God will not honor it however with a pure Heart after God the more you open yourself to God's presence you will realize that demonstrating to others is just one benefit of God's presence with you the main benefit is that you are constantly enjoying fellowship with him where he protects you teaches you strengthens you in your time of weakness and comforts you in moments of pain
