Number one, put God first Put God first in everything you do I didn't always stick with him, but he always stuck with me So stick with him in everything you do Can you say without hesitation That God is first in your life It's silly to say that we don't have time For God and if we don't have time for him then he's not first in our lives Do you think about God and His goodness in your life Do you take time to thank God for your blessings even little ones Live to please the Lord Make decisions that are pleasing to God So are you trying to find a place to put God into your schedule Or would you be willing today to say God from now on you're gonna be first and I don't care what else has to go or what I have to change what I have to make an adjustment in I want to keep you first in my life in everything let me tell you being a Christian just does not work out right If God is a sideline in your life Never meet with other people Before you meet with God If you'll take time to acknowledge God say God I need you today Lead me guide me. Keep me on the right path Not only will your day go better, but God will keep you from making mistakes But until you find Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior there will be always something missing You can't rely on you because you will fail you every single time just about It's not about me. It's not about my ability.
It's not anything about that. It's all about Jesus It's not about what you have or what you don't have what you wish you had or what you wish you didn't have it's all about Jesus that no matter where you are in your life right now if you ask God to forgive you of your sin and you repent of your sin God will come into your life forgive you of your sin. You'll receive his life his blessings his life eternal and his life life's plan for your life Not my plan.
I don't want my plan Sometimes we just need to get over ourselves and actually realize that sometimes God actually has a better plan God allows things that we don't understand but I want you to know if you hold on to him He'll hold on to you If you trust in the Lord with all your heart Even when you cannot walk he'll carry you. When you don't get a miracle you can still be a miracle But this is what I've understood in life some people don't need you to preach a sermon. They need you to live one And so when they see you living it They can connect and identify with that One of the ways that you can take an ordinary life and make it extraordinary Is to learn to do every single thing that you do With and for God Raise your kids for God Let your marriage glorify God Let your attitude glorify God let God into everything that you do God believes in you.
He's got hope for you He's got a future plan for you. And no matter how many times you messed up God is willing to give you another chance and another chance and another chance if you'll just be serious about your relationship with him Don't listen to the lies of the devil Don't listen to the lives of the enemy as he would try to whisper to you God's not for you God's against you That's a lie from hell. I Got News for you.
God is for you He's not against you He loves you He's on your side Intellectuals are now jabbering that God and heaven are far removed and far away God is as close as your next prayer Ask him for things are impossible because with God nothing is impossible Ask him to defeat the Giants in your life because our God is a Giant killer ask him to divide the sea before you and to bury Pharaoh and watch him turn your enemies into fish food Ask him ask him to send fire from heaven as it did for Elijah and he will ask him to walk with you in the fire of the fiery furnace And be the fourth man in the fire and he will he said you will walk through the fire and the fire will not burn you he will walk through the water and The water will not drowned you ask him He's the God who cannot fail he's waiting to show you great and mighty things. Pray pray Pray God in heaven wants you to have that power That power is the ability to move mountains out of the way Too little is spent in prayer and too much time is spent in talking about the problem If people would just start to pray and stop talking about the problem, we would see phenomenal things take place Prayer is the key that unlocks the gates of heaven and closes the gates of Hell Prayer has the power to cure sickness and disease prayer can shatter the shackles of misery and habit that are Tormenting your life or the life of your son or daughter or the life of your husband or wife Prayer does not need proof prayer needs practice People need to worship more you need to take more time not going to God in prayer Oh God oh Lord We've got this problem that problem this problem that problem forget about your problems Go to God and just begin to worship Him begin to exalt him begin to extol him Begin to call him by his names talk about his greatness Talk about how awesome he is. Talk about how mighty he is All Giants seem larger than they really are You think you'll not be able to get control over Whatever that giant is it seems larger than it really is It's not larger than our God It's not larger Than your Savior Remember these five words The battle is the Lord's the battle is the Lord's There is no giant so great that he is not greater still It matters not where the road took you in this year or how your year turned out I'm encouraging you tonight by the Word of God.
The Spirit says call on God one more time One more time we have if we're here today if you're here tonight It is testimony that you have a new opportunity. You've got a fresh start right here right now We get to reboot We get to do it again We will not cure what happened in the past for the past is irretrievable, but the future is available See the older I get the more I realize That you can't take life nor moments for granted I can deal personally I can deal with death better than I can deal with regret Whatever I gotta say to you I'd rather say it whatever I want to give you I want to give it whatever I need to express I want to express it because the next second is not promised All you have is the fierce urgency of now right now This present moment, you don't have long to get over whatever you're gonna get over climb over your inhibitions or fear The clock is ticking while you are thinking about it. You are running out of time there is a rush to do it When you woke up this morning God gave you an opportunity What could be a better gift than to get an opportunity and what a tragic waste it is to have an opportunity and not use it Not maximize it not live it to its fullest and to assume You have tomorrow how arrogant of you to assume that you have tomorrow When in fact all you have for sure Is right now Right now get it right right now Get it sad right now get it done right now Open your heart right now Write the letter right now express the love right now because if you don't I can tell you from experience Coffins can't hear You know don't don't ever waste a day You know, there's something really interesting about time.
We all get the same amount in a day every day is 24 hours some people are Very very fruitful and effective and some people just waste their time day after day after day That's a choice that we make but there's one thing about time Once it goes by you never get it back So how tragic it is to waste Any day Of your life.
