God is Telling You to Let Them Go and Move On! This Motivational Video Will Make You Cry

if people can walk away from your love then let them walk maybe you have heard this statement before maybe you consider it a cliche easier said than done however it is true nobody said letting go is easy to do in fact it's one of the hardest things to do some of the deepest hurts of our lives have come from people coming into our lives and leaving again when people leave you when they walk away from you when they have the courage to go away from you let them go you can cry all you want yes

because it is painful you're allowed to mourn them you're allowed to miss them for a while show some emotion they meant something to you and you can't live in denial they left you let a vacuum broke off a commitment and you'll feel it it will be denial to tell you that you shouldn't Express the pain of anyone leaving your life but listen after grieving after expressing your pain don't remain there let them go get up dust yourself up and move on it's not the end of the world it's not the end of you you need

to understand that your life your joy your fulfillment your completeness is not in the hands of any one person it's both in God's hands and in your hands my friend repeat that to yourself again and again I've seen many people put their lives on hold simply because someone left them some people plunge into depression and some go as far as ending their own lives no no no my friend you're worth more than you know you're designed for far greater things than your mind can fathom you don't end your life because of anyone you don't destroy

your great Destiny because someone else couldn't see it no you don't life is all about people coming and going deal with it in fact let me remind you maybe you didn't know this before now not everyone who comes into your life actually belongs there you must learn to associate people with seasons and phases of life yes it's right you must learn that art of knowing who belongs to what season or phase of life and those who don't some people are meant to come into your life in the morning Seasons while some others are meant to

come into your life at noon time or at night among these people there are those who will only be present from morning till noon some will stay till night time you must not confuse those who are meant to stay longer for those meant to stay for a while it is trying to keep temporary people that many of us fall into some of the life crises that we are faced with today that man you fell in love with and got married to was probably meant to help you through a season of your life however because you

did not understand the difference between people and Seasons you attach yourself to him and got married to him so that you wouldn't lose him yes it was a wonderful Soul who was there when no one else was yes he was a shoulder to lean on a listening ear and a caring hand when you needed one but he was only for a season he wasn't meant to be there for more than a season however you didn't know this and you kept him then the season passed and your life plunged into a dark time now you see

things you never imagined were possible now You observe things that were never there now life has become like hell but you see if that person had left before now you would have felt it you would have thought God was unfair you would have fallen into depression you would have thought you weren't good enough you wouldn't have understood that they had fulfilled their time and it was now time for a new season dear friend Isaiah chapter 55 verses 8 through 9 says for my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways 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's ways are different from yours you're not smarter than he is when he moves on your behalf sometimes it takes faith and courage that understand and accept that it's all part of a bigger plan I admit that it can be so painful to have someone you've come to love and depend on walk away like you don't mean anything to them I know it can be so painful when someone you've invested so much and

turns their backs on you when you need them the most and just walks away like all the years and sacrifices mean nothing I understand but I also understand that God's plans for you are far greater than any one person who comes or leaves your life and because of that plan and intention for your destiny you must understand that there is only one person who will be with you from the start of your life's journey to the end and that is God himself Abraham and lot's story is a perfect example of this scenario Abraham had started

his journey with lot his brother's son when God called him out of his father's country to the place of his Destiny Abraham took lot along with him lot had nobody who took care of him the way Abraham did Abraham raised him as his own son more so like his own brother what he enjoyed lot also enjoyed when he increased lot also increased when his life began to enjoy the blessings of God's covenant lot also shared some people will come into your life just to partake of the blessings of God upon you don't mistake them for

your pillars like those who approached a tree for its roots they will surround you maybe God ordained it that way for your life to benefit them for a season when your life has served that purpose they will leave you have to understand this dear child of God lot was a partaker of the Covenant blessings of God on Abraham's Life by proximity and he had become a great man too he had so much wealth cattle and servants that the land could not contain him and Abraham any longer then Strife broke out between their workers and there

was a rift between them Abraham had to do something about it and here is what he did Genesis chapter 13 verses 8 through 11. so Abram said to lot let's not have any quarreling between you and me or between your hurdles and mine for we are close relatives is not the whole land before you it's part company if you go to the left I'll go to the right if you go to the right I'll go to the left lot looked around and saw that the whole plan of the Jordan towards zor was well watered like

the garden of the Lord like the land of Egypt this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah so lot chose for himself the whole plane of the Jordan and set out toward the East two men hearted company anyone would expect lot as a person who thought well of his uncle to at least seek for reconciliation or some form of respectable agreement for peace to Reign on the other hand even if they had to part ways felt lot would let Abraham pick first but the Bible said he put himself first because his uncle who raised

him he chose his own Direction took off with all he had and never looked back [Music] Abraham must have felt bad about all of this but you see God showed up and supported him when people leave you you must remember that you have someone who will never leave you you have someone who is always with you Deuteronomy chapter 31 verse 8 the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you he will never leave you nor forsake you do not be afraid do not be discouraged Abraham probably felt disappointed and alone he probably felt

let down forgotten and like he was at a disadvantage because lot had taken the best portion of the land and left him to the dry lands but hear what God told Abraham in the next verses Genesis chapter 13 verses 14 through 17. the Lord said to Abram after lot had parted from him look around from where you are to the North and South to the east and west including what it seems lot had taken all the land that you see I will give to you in your Offspring forever I will make your Offspring like the

dust of the earth so that if anyone could count the dust then your Offspring could be counted go walk through the length and breadth of the land for I am giving it to you that man or woman may have left you but God hasn't let them go it may be done with you but God isn't done with you yet let them go I may have told you that you aren't good enough you aren't worthy enough you are a dent to their own image let them go when God is through with you they will realize what

they lost remember when people choose to leave you you aren't losing them they are losing you maybe they left because of something you did maybe they were right you messed up you were toxic or you made a mistake whatever the reason may have been listen to me do not beat yourself over it or give up on yourself God is still in the business of taking Broken Vessels and making beautiful pieces out of them God is still in the business of transforming lives that allow him to do so God is still in the business of forgiving

people and giving them Second Chances everyone else may have given up on you but God hasn't today he beckons on you to allow him to heal you to work on you and bring out those beautiful Treasures locked up underneath all the mess that everyone else is seeing will you allow him if you will let Jesus Come into your heart he can restore you he can give you back what you lost the hope the joy the true friendship and the Beautiful Life you once threw away call on Jesus today it's not yet over for you because

they left you God is with you and he will support you and give you all the things that no single person can give you that beautiful relationship is in God that great friendship isn't God that unfailing support is in God when God blesses you with these things you will discover what heaven on Earth truly means your life and relationships can be that when you take your eyes off the people and fix it on God don't let no one make you compromise your faith or God's standard to make them stay it is never worth it don't

make anyone make you beg for them to stay in your life if they want to go let them go if they want to stay let them stay only because they see you through God's eyes and are willing to play their part in bringing out the person that God has ordained for you to be God's got you my friend he will never leave you [Music] foreign [Music] you may be where you are doing what you are doing having what you are having at this point in your life because of some choices you committed yourself to in

addition these things are the results of how you see yourself carry yourself and thus respond to things around you permit me to begin by saying that you are special you are a special creation of God from before you were born to your parents God prepared you to be a unique individual Psalms chapter 71 verse 6 from birth I have relied on you you brought me forth from my mother's womb I will ever praise you no matter the circumstance surrounding your birth maybe you were told that your parents didn't want you maybe you were born out

of wedlock or had a very humble background that my friend is just an event not the real you you are a treasure to God important and special to him there is so much that is hidden deep within you no one is useless no one person was born to be useless in this life every individual is a carrier of a valuable treasure placed there by God and God has a specific and perfect use of you on Earth Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 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 now God your creator put these Treasures there deep within you and when you come to Jesus through faith and surrender those Treasures will start to fit into their rightful places many gifted people have walked this Earth however only those among them who see themselves through God's eyes eventually serve their purposes to fulfillment on the Earth the rest just went through life performed many Feats but died without any significance before God what am I trying to get you to understand right here that God has

called you out of this world to Christ out of your humble background into his Loving Arms into his favor into his favor here is how he sees you now that you are in his family First Peter chapter 2 verses 9 through 10. but you are a chosen people a royal priesthood a holy nation God's special possession that you may declare the Praises of him who called you out of Darkness into his wonderful light once you word not a people but now you are the people of God once you had not received Mercy but now you

have received Mercy isn't it just amazing that God can look at you yes you just the way you are with your warts and all and simply because of your submission to the working of Jesus Christ in you he calls you his special child when you understand this you will understand the next thing I'm about to say you see as you go through life every day you must remember that everything is trying to get your attention everything around you wants to give you a new identity they want to tell you who you are they want you

to listen to them they want you to pay attention to them why is this so because whatever controls your attention will control you for instance when God says you are his special child loved by him and having eternal life within the world will try to tell you that you are not that you are still very much yourself that you are not special that you have to struggle to fit in that you have to try to be like others so that you are accepted and like I said earlier your life usually takes the shape of whatever

you allow to have your attention in the bid to be accepted to be loved and to fit in you may find yourself struggling with compromise sinful Lifestyles that you have turned your back to for the sake of Christ at this point what should you do here is what you should do stand strong and do not fear being left alone do not be scared of walking alone If You observe you'll realize that some of the struggles many people with lifestyle and relationships come from a bid to fit in to be loved and to be accepted by

the society we are afraid to be different we are afraid of being ostracized being cut off from the crowd We Fear the mockery and the loneliness of being sidelined because we do not fit into their lifestyle but hear me the fact that the crowd chooses a path doesn't make it the right way to go that everyone does something or approves of it does not make it healthy or good Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 12 there is a way that appears to be right but in the end it leads to death God has made his thoughts clear

to us from his word his word contains his expectations from us his spirit continues to lead us where he wants us to go and to do what he wants us to do doing otherwise will be choosing to disobey God choosing to please the crowd for their Applause or company at the expense of God's purpose as you choosing to side with the Enemy against your heavenly father who loves you and wants to save you I admit that it can be challenging when all your friends seem to turn their backs on you because of your choices for

God I know how difficult they can be standing up for what you believe honestly I do nevertheless it is worth it you make those hard decisions because you love the Lord you make them because you have submitted yourself to him you make them because now he rules your life and you have surrendered your control to him you are ready to face the world because you know and believe in the hope of glory that awaits you a glory that surpasses anything that this world can ever imagine the Apostle Peter once asked Jesus what's in it for

us we have left everything behind for you what do we look forward to maybe you've asked this question before maybe you've said is it worth it I don't know how to be myself I am used to being my brother to my sister to my friend colleagues lovers and so on my friends still like me if I talk about Jesus will they still want me if I refuse to do the stuff we used to do Jesus answers Peter's question immediately and here is what he said to Peter I want you to imagine that Jesus is talking

to you too Mark chapter 10 verses 29 through 30. truly I tell you Jesus replied no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me in the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in the present age homes brothers sisters mothers children in fields along with persecutions and in the age to come eternal life as much as following Jesus will require you taking some hard Road or finding yourself in a hard place there is a promise that you will end well there is

something to Hope in you're not hopeless you may look like it you may even feel like it everything around you may say so but it's all a lie you are not hopeless and the good news is that it doesn't end there you see not only should your Hope rest in what will be it should also rest in these words Hebrews chapter 13 verse 5 keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have because God has said never will I leave you never will I forsake you this is a

promise for the now it is a promise to keep you from fear and anxiety it is a promise to keep you from being intimidated it is a promise to keep you right where God wants you to be You are not alone my friend even when it feels like it don't be afraid to be by yourself if anyone wants to leave you because of the truth you stand for let them walk God will never leave you if any person hates you because of the truth you represent from God's word love them instead but don't seek their

approval against God's standards God will bless you with the right company he will surround you with the right family but above all God will always be with you he will always be there even when time life's limitations needs and more keep others away he will still be with you to help you to protect you and to provide for you Isaiah chapter 49 verse 15 can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has born though she may forget I will not forget you everyone else may forget you

but God will never forget you everyone else may leave you but he will never leave you face that fear and look it in the eye God has not given you the spirit of fear but of power love and of a sound mind therefore you will not be scared commit yourself to your faith what makes you a Christian is your boldness to stand upon what the word of God has said without wavering or fear at the cost see you are a doer of the word you're not just a hearer other believers may turn against you don't

worry keep standing on the word everyone else may turn their backs on you don't be afraid stand strong God is on your side he will never abandon you however trust him and remember one of your greatest self-harm would be holding back your faith all of God's treasure on your inside simply because you're afraid of standing up for the truth there are many things to stand up for today love truth the undiluted word of God compassion Law and Order without judgment and condemnation Once Upon a Time Peter and the other apostles were strictly warned never to

preach in Jesus name anymore they all being filled with boldness responded thus Acts chapter 5 verse 29 Peter and the other Apostles replied we must obey God rather than human beings who would you rather obey my friend who would you rather please the people who need God's help to find their way or the god whose help is the Salvation that our souls greatly need if you're feeling lonely and you're contemplating a diversion an opposite option remember these words you are never alone in Christ you will never walk alone no matter what so don't fear God's

got you both now and always amen [Music] oftentimes we get so carried away with our emotions and life's events that we forget that there's a God above who is a father to us our human nature makes us consider ourselves fixers so we always try to fix problems that are not ours to fix and control situations that are clearly not ours to control when life hits us hard we forget that God is with us when we are faced with grief heartbreak failure delay all sorts of setbacks we often forget that God is with us first Peter

2 9 says but you are a chosen people a royal priesthood a holy nation God's special possession that you may declare the Praises of him who called you out of Darkness into his wonderful light this scripture talks about our priesthood and what we should do with it many believers do not exactly understand what priesthood means for the believer but hear me well this day God has made you a priest and your job is to declare the Praises of him who has called you out of Darkness into his wonderful light this means that when life gets

tough remember that your job as a priest is to declare the Praises of God to acknowledge that he is with you this is what our priesthood means we are to be in total submission to God every day with everything every day we wake up we have a job to do and that is to show God's Marvelous Light we are to represent God at work at home at school at the cafe we go to for coffee on social media at the playground with our friends and with strangers part of our job as God's priests is to

be still I do not know if you got that so I will say it again part of our job as Believers as God's chosen people as God's priests is to be still if you know anything about priests you will know that they are diligent with their jobs they follow the law and they do what they should per time you are a priest now so your job is to represent God in how you speak walk dress and eat and you are expected to be responsible enough to do so people have to see God in you in

how you interact with others in your attitude towards strangers and in how you handle your storms do you go to God first with anything and everything or do you go to him last do you obey his commandment to be still Psalms 46 4-11 says there is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God the holy place of the Tabernacles of the highest God is in the midst of her she shall not be moved God shall help her and that right early the Heathen raged the kingdoms were moved he uttered his voice the

Earth melted this is an assurance of refuge and sucker in God because God is with us we shall not be moved I find this passage to be so encouraging because it tells us that no matter how rough the road gets no matter how scary life may seem no matter how messy our lives may be God's word says He will help right on time Our God who dwells in unapproachable light is no longer far he is right inside of us and what can he do Psalm 46 just told us that he makes Wars cease he breaks

the bow and he cuts to Pieces the spear in every war that is going on in your life God has the ability to stop it we need only to be still [Music] now what does it mean to be still it means to let go to completely surrender control to allow and to submit when God tells us to be still as he is telling us today he is not saying we should give up or that we should quit that job or whatever God is saying to surrender control of every situation he is saying allow me to

do what I can our efforts cannot do so much but imagine when God steps into your situation your efforts are complemented by God's Divine Touch God does not want us to approach our problems from a place of anxiety and fear he wants to approach our problems from a place of rest from a place of surrender to him Psalm 46 1 says God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble o child of God did you get that a very present help more present than your parents he is more present than your boss

or supervisor more present than your teacher or your colleagues even if you can see them even if they can help God is more present than we can possibly imagine he is our refuge and strength so is it not okay for him to ask you to be still have you let those bills that divorce paper that medical test that rejected project that failed exam make you forget that God is with you and ready to help you child of God hear me well this day there is only so much that you can do on your own stop

trying to do what only God can do stop trying to fix what only God can fix stop trying to carry the load that is meant for God second chronicles 2015 tells us of what jehaziel said to King Jehoshaphat When the Children of Moab and Ammon gathered against the Israelites he said listen all you people of Judah and Jerusalem listen King Jehoshaphat this is what the Lord says do not be afraid do not be discouraged by this Mighty Army for the battle is not yours but gods glory to God all those battles that are making you

lose sleep and cry in the bathroom are not yours to fight but the Lord's all those setbacks that seem to be crippling your efforts are not yours to deal with they are the Lords does this mean we won't do anything no remember to be still is not to give up or to relax or to quit it is to allow God to take control learn to loosen your clenched grip on the circumstances and outcome and trust God who is Sovereign over both yes it is in your nature to keep pushing through yes it is in your

nature to want to force outcomes and to fix everything but the call to be still like I said is a call to surrender it is not waiting on God to do everything when God commands us to be still and know he is God he's commanding us to release control of the situation to his sovereignty that means releasing control of the timing the outcome and the ways God will bring about his purpose in the situation I want you to understand that God loves you too much and he is too faithful to fail the one who gives

him control God is not the kind of driver that gets careless or the one that drives Clueless at all times even in the littlest things God knows what is best for us down to the tiniest choice and because God loves us too much he is always with us through it all when you gave your life to Jesus Christ you received God's spirit and that Spirit can never leave you that spirit is with you always and that spirit is telling you today to be still when we surrender control to God in difficult situations we can actively

do these five things one worship we cannot worry when we are worshiping Psalm 46 is a list of Praise beginning with who God is God is our refuge and strength and ever-present help in trouble worship reaffirms that God is on the throne and in control worship ushers us into the presence of God where we find comfort and strength in worship we become less and the things of the world grow dim and fade away from our heart as God is lifted High worship is one way the believer fights it gives us strength and allows us to

access grace and mercy today unlike the days of the Old Testament we can worship so freely it is beautiful we are to go to God always in worship whether we have a problem or not and we are to go to him boldly Hebrews 4 16 says let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find Grace to help us in our time of need two pray there's a children's song that says prayer is the key prayer is the master key Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer

prayer is the master key beautiful is it not beautiful and true for the believer prayer is more than a tool of warfare or a means to communicate with God it is a way our lives get changed and it is the very life we have been called to live Luke 5 16 says but Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed why because Jesus knew that prayer is important when the crowd comes around you to cheer you or to mock you remember to withdraw and pray when the bills stack high and you are drowning remember to

pray when your child is getting more rebellious by the day remember to pray when your organs are shutting down remember to pray when you land a good job remember to pray when the Lord gives you an increase remember to pray like Jesus we should pray always and commit every activity every step and every turn into God's hands and even beyond that we must always inquire of the Lord through prayer and allow prayer to change us three remember has God helped you before has he shown up for you before why do you think he will not

do the same now remember all that the Lord has done it is encounting your blessings and remembering what the Lord has done that we find the Assurance for our next phase in life get into the word and be reminded of God's character sovereignty and miracles then look at your life your life do you see that God has a record of faithfulness and provision and protection do you really think that his call to you is still today not in your best interests Joshua 23 14 says and this was Joshua's testimony at the end of his life

now I'm about to go the way of all the Earth you know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed every promise has been fulfilled not one has failed if you look closely you will see that God keeps his word down to the tiniest detail and not one promise of God will fail four give thanks for everything and at all times I tell you to give thanks our lives may not make sense at the moment and our futures may seem blurry but

friends give thanks give thanks and give thanks 5. watch we may not see what God is doing but rest assured that he is working for you God will do what he has said he will do and that is final in your Stillness child of God look for God's hand God is working Hallelujah regardless of the circumstances that swirl around us we can still our hearts to worship pray remember thank and watch and do not ever forget God is with you life is unpredictable no one knows what is going to happen next we don't wake up

in the morning fully aware of what is going to happen by noon all we can do as human beings are to make plans and hope life goes our way and it can be quite frustrating walking through life full of uncertainties and worry yes even the believer can be uncertain at times because we don't know how the day will even play out talk more of a year but the believer should see the world and life differently because our reality is different the believer should know that even if the next step is not clear and the next

phase is unknown we have a God we can trust to work out every step turn chapter and season in our favor and according to his will you see there is nothing sweeter in this whole wide world than being a Christian yet it can be difficult sometimes it can be difficult to believe God's word when you are being tossed left and right it can be difficult to remember God's love when his promises are delayed it can be difficult to trust Jesus when the waves are roaring and the storm is Raging it can be difficult to tap

into the joy of the Holy Ghost when you are drowning in worry child of God God knows how tough it can be being a human in this cruel world he lived as one that is why he has come to reassure you today of his love his plans and his will God wants you today to stop worrying and to start living God wants you today to keep your chin up and trust him worrying has never healed the sick or raised the Dead worrying has certainly never solved any problem or met a need before so it is

a wonder why we allow ourselves to be bound by it controlled by it and be weakened by it we just spend so much time being sad and upset about the turmoils in our life that we forget to actually live God does not want us to spend our days moping worrying and crying he does not like that we continually condemn ourselves carrying guilt and sadness everywhere we go listen life will always always always from time to time present a new burden to us you know a new bridge to cross a new problem to solve a new

battle to fight and a new Goliath to slay but when it does as children of God we are to approach every new problem as men in Christ what does that mean it means that when things get tough you should praise instead of worrying Rejoice instead of crying and give thanks instead of complaining I know it's easier said than done but that is what the believer should do will it be hard to do certainly is it possible absolutely is it possible to live a worry-free life it is in our capacity to choose to trust God when

life is difficult it is in our capacity to Rejoice Evermore a worry-free life is one we have been called to live and it is possible if we learn to trust God Jesus showed us how we should live he is our template the man Jesus never ran away when a problem was brought to his door he never complained when even death came knocking he never spoke to his accusers in bitterness he never panicked when life became tough why he knew and trusted God yes you have to first know before you can trust so I ask you

dear brother and sister do you truly know the Lord have you found God through your search in his scripture do you know his voice are you confident of his love and plans when you truly know God it becomes easy to trust him and in turn not to worry the Bible tells us in Daniel 11 32 that the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits Daniel tells us that strength comes from knowing then the Bible says in John 15 verse 5. that I am the vine you are the branches if

you remain in me and I in you you will bear much fruit apart from me you can do nothing this was Jesus speaking and he tells us in that verse that we can do nothing apart from him this means that no matter how much we worry we can do nothing apart from Jesus knowing this well will cause us to be more dependent on God as we ought to be and it is a fact that God has never disappointed those who depend on him I don't know who needs to hear this but stop trusting your friends

your spouse your mentors the stock market the bank the hospital whatever more than God God is to be exalted in our hearts above all things and when he is he lifts us higher than our worries than our fears and struggles don't even trust yourself more than him you need to develop the habit of trusting God and following him to the very end how can we even do this it's simple read your Bible and pray every day by studying God's word daily we get to learn from him how to trust him when the word of God

takes root in our hearts it becomes easy to approach all situations the Jesus way if free of worry knowing what God has done and has said gives us the confidence we need to hold our heads High a lot of the problems we think are Mighty are not God's word reveals to us truths and Limitless possibilities that can keep our worries in check and by praying every day we open a channel through which God can speak to us it is in the place of prayer that God instructs and directs us it is through prayer that he

positions us for the truckload of blessings that he has for us the trick to not worrying and to start living well is simple pray trust and wait remember worry is not going to get you anywhere it is going to leave you depressed and weak and that won't please God Proverbs 3 verses 5 through 6 says trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make straight your paths you see trust God and he will make straight your paths trust God and

he will solve your problems in the process of time trust God and he will make the ugliest circumstances beautiful all in his time Ecclesiastes 3 verse 11 says he has made everything beautiful in its time also he has put eternity in their hearts except that no one can find out the work that God does from the beginning to end so it may seem like God is late right now or maybe it seems like God is absent but I have come to reassure you that God is right there with you ready to help you but he

needs you to take that leap of faith that leap of faith might be to throw your worries out the window listen God knows all the wise when's house and wears of your life he knows it all he sees it all so why not stop worrying about things that are not in your control and trust God more rather than focusing and worrying about the bills the insurance the report the essay whatever focus on Jesus focus on your day-to-day relationship with him because you see in time God is going to make everything about you your family your

business beautiful so like the psalmist said in Psalms 28 verse 7 proclaim the Lord is my strength and my shield my heart trusts in him and he helps me my heart leaps for joy and with my song I praise Him Hallelujah [Music] life becomes so simple and peaceful when we come to God like little children and say Lord I don't want to worry anymore help me trust you more Lord I want to start living well and full of joy so Lord helps me even when I don't understand why to help me trust you help me

to go all in with you with everything and at all times let your heart be firm child of God let your heart trust in the Lord let your spirit rejoice in the Lord worry has to leave your life where he has to go so when you don't understand the situation you can choose not to worry a lot of us Believers don't believe that we can control our emotions but we can worry is an emotion that we can choose to feel in front of Goliath we can choose to not worry in front of the Canaanites we

can choose to not worry in front of King Saul we can choose not to worry in front of the burning furnace we can choose not to worry Hear What God Says in Joshua 1 verse 9. have I not commanded you be strong and courageous do not be frightened and do not be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go this means you may be passing through hell but be assured that God is next to you and glory to God for no fire can consume the one who God protects so child of

God why worry about the Flames when you have God the greatest walking with you while it is human to worry we can choose to rise above worry to keep ignored in the corner and to fix our eyes on Jesus the devil is glorified when we worry and worry doubting God and complaining so here is what you can do when life becomes too much to handle and the devil is mocking you look him in the eye and remind him of what the Lord has done before listen if God did it before he can do it again

and if he could raise the dead he can heal the sick if he could make the blind see he can make the death here we often get soaked in worry because we forget the Miracles that the Lord has done for us as individuals and as a generation if God could give the job he can give you the promotion if God could help you with the test he can help you with graduating if God could give you a wife he can give you children God's capacity has not changed it is our worrying that makes it look

like God is not able Hebrews 13 verse 8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever God cannot change his word confirms it our lives too so it may be difficult to make trusting God above all a habit and lifestyle but we must if we want to live the way God wants us to free of worry [Music] it appears that it is a human inclination to believe that certain people are more anointed by God than others but today I'm here to tell you that you've been anointed and appointed by God it's true Shepherds

practiced anointing which gave rise to the practice of anointing lice and other insects would frequently get into the fleece of sheep burrow into the Sheep's ears and eventually kill the Sheep therefore old Shepherds rubbed oil on the sheep's head making insects slip off [Music] anointing evolved from this basic gesture into a sign of blessing protection and empowerment you've probably heard about the anointing of God if you've been around the church world for any length of time maybe you've heard of a performer or a preacher who is Anointed maybe you saw someone get anointed with oil

or maybe a preacher told you not to touch the Lord's anointed in order to convince you to not disagree with them this idea of anointing is certainly thrown around a little too much in some religious circles but it's nothing new through the Old and New Testaments the Bible mentions God's anointing in several different ways anointing entails rubbing or smearing oil on for consecration whether for office or religious service it was a sign of God's blessing or calling on a person's life to have them Anointed with oil a person was anointed for a special purpose to

be a king Prophet or priest in modern day Christianity we still anoint people with oil it's not a magic potion the oil doesn't have powers of its own only God has the power to anoint others for a purpose oil is only a symbol it's because of this anointing the sight-giving bomb of the spirit that every Christian here knows the truth because God's holy one touched each of you his anointing resides in you and you have no need for anyone to teach you for it teaches you about everything and is true just as it has taught

you abide in him in the truth and in the spirit because we must be in both right now you have an anointing from God it's not just for special Christian leaders or speakers it's for everyone as Christians each one of you possesses an anointing from Jesus Christ we not only have been blessed with the anointing of God but we also have the privilege of being seen as children of God for the fight against Temptation sin and evil you have a kingly anointing the Holy Spirit encourages us all in our fight against evil you can call

on the holy spirit for help when you're tempted or suspect you're being tempted and he will provide you with the strength to overcome I am a child of God we hear this term so often that I believe we become numb to what it truly means in our daily lives I believe that the deeper our identity is anchored in being a child of God the greater our sense of self-worth increases as our feelings of self-worth grow we become less insecure protective and Afraid if we're ready to let go of our less important identities and bring our

divine roots to the center of our self-perception we may be more confident joyful and fulfilled human beings everyone knows what it's like to be a child because we were all born of a mother and father as newborns and toddlers we are fully reliant on our parents to love feed educate and guide us towards becoming responsible individuals we are all God's Offspring since he created all of us unfortunately we've all rebelled and sin has severed our ties with the father God is always beckoning his children to come back to him so that the father child connection

can be restored John 3 3 says unless you are born again you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven Nicodemus to whom Jesus told this pondered to himself how can I be born again is it possible for me to re-enter my mother's womb and be born no Jesus was referring to becoming God's child a spiritual birth and joining God's spiritual family God went to tremendous measures to ensure that everyone on the planet had the opportunity to be reborn Jesus Christ left heaven to come to Earth with the sole goal of dying on the cross everyone has

sinned or rebelled against God according to the Bible and the consequence of this is death we also learn that we can be pardoned if someone who's without sin accepts our penalty in fact Jesus did just that when he suffered our punishment in exchange for you to pray and worship you have a Priestly anointing priests were recognized as intercessors between God and the people or mediators by shedding his blood for our sins in the Tabernacle Jesus accomplished this Priestly anointing despite this many of us failed to do so you've also been given a prophetic anointing to

spread the Gospel of Jesus despite this many of us failed to do so the same anointing that its inspired prophets to communicate God's message is in you to share his word each time you tell a friend about Jesus in the Book of Matthew 3 16-17 and Jesus when he was baptized went up straight way out of the water and lo the heavens were opened unto him and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him and lo a voice from Heaven saying this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well

pleased and also let's take a look at Acts 2 1 to 4 which says and when the day of Pentecost is fully come they were all with one Accord in one place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven like a rushing Mighty Wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared to them cloven tongues like fire and they sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance what makes you think you can

accomplish it on your own Jesus had to be baptized and anointed in order to carry out his mission and the disciples had to be baptized and anointed in order to go forth when you have God's anointing on you you'll never be the same again you'll be converted into a valuable vessel capable of changing lives and just because you've been anointed by God doesn't mean you're without flaws David although being anointed by God and man after God's Own Heart committed blunders he wasn't without flaws God's anointing on his life did not make him perfect or pure

he dealt with the same familiar concerns as we do now as a parent he was worried about Absalom his son who had gone to gashur to avenge amnon's death so starting today you must understand that being a god anointed person does not mean that you're immune to evil when God anoints you people will see it others will know when he appoints you and the world will hear when he uplifts you because he is capable of doing the unthinkable without prayer anointing is not possible the more time you spend in prayer reading the Bible and growing

in your relationship with Jesus the more his character anointing and skills will be manifested in you be ready at all times preparation with the holy spirit's anointing ensures victory it's a recipe for disaster if you're not prepared and don't have the holy spirit's anointing in the book of second Corinthians 1 21-22 now he which establishes US with you in Christ and hath anointed us is God who hath also sealed us and given the earnest of spirit in our hearts according to this passage God has anointed us sealed us and given us the pledge the foretaste

of the spirit we must encounter Christ via the working of the Cross if we are to give something of Christ to others in the working of the Cross is for the anointing sealing and Pledge of the spirit the anointing is what allows us to work without exerting any extra effort the anointing is what overcomes every problem that comes our way which we would ordinarily be unable to handle in our own power and talents anything that's thrust upon you by force was not intended for you everything that uniquely identifies you was and always will be yours

eliminates individuals from your life to protect you don't chase them down being a child of God has nothing to do with your social class origin or status God frequently travels to the gutter in order to locate those who would benefit from his grace he raises him up washes him and transforms him into a God's child suited for his kingdom that is the grace of God according to the Bible the devil is like a roaring lion first Peter 5 8. he appears in the dark attempting to terrify God's children with his loud roar when you turn

on the light of God's word however you will notice that there's no lion only a mouse with a speaker is present the Devil is a fraud my primary Point here is if you're a child of God and God's a part of you God should appear to you in your mind as well and when you accept a picture of the Divinity that another person has assigned to you you become that other person's spiritual prisoner always keep in mind that raising a child is simpler than repairing an adult that's where you learn skills stay pure and be

responsive as a child that's why we're God's offspring when a child first begins to walk he or she falls down 50 times he never thinks to himself maybe this isn't for me you are a child of God playing small isn't good for the world shrinking so that other people don't feel uneasy about you isn't enlightened we were created in order to reveal the Grandeur of God that is within us walking by faith will let us all realize that we're all pilgrims and strangers on this planet as God's children a child of God should be a

living doxology of thankfulness and worship as well as a visible beatitude for pleasure and contentment never forget that David already knew God's strength so he didn't need to know goliaths in Isaiah 61 1 the Bible says the spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach Good Tidings to the poor he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted the Proclaim Victory to the captives in the opening of the prison to those who are bound keep in mind who you are make no concessions for anyone or any cause you

are the almighty God's child live by that truth [Music]
