The Salvation Question

Sermon Date:  May 17, 2015

Sermon Topic: The Salvation Question

Scriptures: John 5:22, Romans 5:12, Romans 6:22, 1 Timothy 5:6, Titus 3:5, John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Isaiah 59:1-2 , Romans 10:17, Romans 10:14, Jeremiah 3:15, Hebrews 4:1-7, Ephesians 1:3, Philippians 4:13, 1 John 3:14, 1 John 4:7-8, Galatians 5, Galatians 3:1

Sermon Notes:

 John 5:22 – For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. The subject matter covers one of the most important decisions in your life. Yielding your life to Christ. Why do we need to be saved?

When Adam sinned – man was separated by sin. We were born in sin and shaped by iniquity.

Romans 5:12 - Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

Romans 6:22 – But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. This vertells the price of sin. Everyone who isn’t born again is a walking corpse. Unless Christ is savior and Lord in your life, you are dead.

Some have the form of godliness but live in pleasure. 1 Timothy 5:6 – But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. Those who live in pleasure area already dead. You don’t have to do something to be saved. Doing things wont save you. Some believe that you have to work to be saved.

Christ died for all of us. Titus 3:5 – Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Every religion that takes God and rejects Jesus is lost. You can’t be saved any other way.

Every Christian was once dead in sin.

New life in Christ brings new priorities. 1 Corinthians 6:19 – You were bought with a price. Christ sacrificed his life on the cross.

Sin cuts humanity off from God. Isaiah 59:1-2 - Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Your iniquities have separated you.

If there is iniquity in your heart the Lord will not hear you.

If you find your prayers aren’t being answered, don’t look at God, look at yourself.

It’s up to you to take the first step to squash issues.

Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:14 - How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

You must hear the raiment word because that is  how faith comes. Jeremiah 3:15 – And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

We must hear and believe – that’s what faith is. Hebrews 4:1-7 - Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. He turns everyone from their sin. Evidence of the salvation is everlasting life. 

Ephesians 1:3 – Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Everything that we need is in Christ. All it takes is faith. Your mouth is a resource and a weapon.

Don’t cancel out yourself by saying I can’t, I won’t or I don’t. Cast those thoughts down. Keep saying Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Say it until what’s on the inside shows on the outside. Your answers to every circumstance is in the Bible. Call on the name of the Lord so you can be saved from your enemies.

1 John 3:14 – We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

1 John 4:7-8 – Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love.

The enemy will try to tempt you with old things. Don’t let him – there is always a way out.

Galatians 5 – Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Stand fast in the liberty. Don’t tie yourself up with that stuff. The adversary uses the phone to create a riff in the church. Some things don’t need to be shared or forwarded.

Galatians 3:1 – O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? Seek those things that are seated above where Christ sits. Set your affections on things above.

Discipline your mind so it doesn’t get caught up in the world.

We belong to God, we must carry that image of Christ.

Bible Study - May 13, 2015 - The Formula for Overcoming Obstacles

Date: May 13, 2015

Scriptures: John 1:1, Proverbs 16:12, Jeremiah 32:17, Hebrews 13:5, Ephesians 3:6, Psalm 118:6-7, Psalm 107:20, Philippians 4:13, Psalm 73:26, 1 Kings 8:56, Jeremiah 1:12, Jeremiah 17:7-8, 2 Corinthians 10:5, 2 Corinthians 4:15, Psalm 34:10, John 10:10, Proverbs 12:25

Sermon Topic: The Formula for Overcoming Obstacles

Sermon Notes:

We are victorious even before the problem arises. In Christ you are always more than conquerors, because you are always in Christ.

When God said lets go to the other side, it was pre-determined in advance that they would safely make it to the other side.

Everything that has, will or have happened, God already knows. He knows our end from our beginning. We must take the word of God to everything in life. Jeremiah 32:17 – Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee. There is nothing too hard for God. We can see how this applies to us. There is nothing too hard for God.

There is a requirement for us to approach things from a Godly perspective. Proverbs 16:12 – God made everything for himself. John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by God. That’s the God we serve.

We need a disciplined mind. When we look at the circumstance, it distracts us from believing in God’s word. The Bible tells us to look at what is not seen.

This tells us that we can see things that are not seen. What’s not seen is subject to change.

We need to have confidence in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit abides in us. The power that is in us is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.

None of our situations are bigger or more powerful than what’s in us.

Some things we see are fact, but not the truth.

I can have $0 in my bank account and not be broke. When this happens I don’t panic and say what doesn’t line up with the word of God, nor do I do something that God wouldn’t be pleased with in order to get stuff.

We need assistance – there are words that will cause you to not walk in faith.

·         Doubt

·         Disbelief

·         Stress

·         Depression

You can’t walk by faith and worry. We have to be mindful, during the storm so we don’t forget what Jesus said.

Hebrews 13:5 – Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Apply the word continually to your situation. This verse eliminates lust and greed. I’m content with what I have.

Don’t say that God is not here. Boldly say the Lord is my helper. When you get to the point where the situation intensifies and from all outward appearances, doesn’t look good, I can boldly say that the Lord is my helper.

Fear counteracts faith. Ephesians 3:6 – That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel. The enemy has methods not power. He uses methods to plant thoughts in your mind and move you away from the truth and from your place in God.

Discipline your thoughts to only receive what lines up with God. Some information you can’t allow yourself to receive from well-meaning people.

Don’t let them take what’s in your spirit. They’re looking at what’s seen. They can see what’s not seen. If you agree with them, you take what they say over the word of God.

Psalm 118:6-7 – ⁶ The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? ⁷ The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

The Lord is on my side, I will not fear. Whatever it is and you receive a report it can be factual, but not the whole truth. I’m not putting my confidence in man, over what God says.

All problems are already solved.

Psalm 107:20 – He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. He sent his word in the beginning. He healed and delivered them by his word. When you verbalize, Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. There is nothing through Christ that I can’t do. If I can do all things through Christ, our strength comes from God.

Psalm 73:26 – My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. We have the assurance in times of trouble that God is the strength of our heart. When you’re dealing with something, never let the problem prophesize to you.

It will try to talk you out of your position in faith. It’s trying to get you to the place of saying, “I can’t”. No one will help me. Stop blaming others for your situation/circumstances.

If there is lack it’s a lack of faith. I need a revelation to walk in truth.

That’s why the bible is so important.

·         We need a role-model

·         We need to see the truth lived out

·         We need a regiment of faith.

How you think determines your beliefs. When we get anxious, ask God to increase our faith, because all problems have been solved.

Be assured in the promises of God. You need that kind of assurance.

1 Kings 8:56 – Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant. When you get the word, meditate on it, until it becomes a fabric of your being and you speak faith-filled words to your situation. Everything God said will come to pass.

Jeremiah 1:12 – Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. We have the assurance in adversity. Whatever God said, he will bring to pass.

Be God-centered. Don’t allow your mind to run after craziness, be God-centered. What did the Lord say?

Block out negativity and dis-jointed thinking. Information constantly being fed to your spirit. Discipline yourself to only hear the word of God.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 – ⁷ Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. ⁸ For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

You will always have more than enough. You will always prosper.

Don’t go around saying what you don’t have. Be careful what you say. 2 Corinthians 10:5 – Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Cast down those contrary thoughts. What I see and hear, cast it down. No matter how intense the situation gets, never speak doubt.

Never get to a place of “Oh what will I do?” Then you become like the disciples in the boat.

Guard your tongue.

He’s already told us what to do.

You have the victory, now. Be led by the spirit. When you accept Christ as your Lord and savior you are sealed and saved.

Be God-centered.

2 Corinthians 4:15 – For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. The unmerited favor from God for victorious living.

Do you know what highly favored really means? You don’t deserve it, but he loves us so much.

We also have spiritual abundance, Psalm 34:10 - The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. We shall not want any good thing.

John 10:10 – The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

You are victorious in circumstances if you walk by faith. Go back and look at what God did in the past.

Have confidence in him. He is not a man that he will lie.

We need a disciplined lifestyle. Don’t seek God only when you’re in a crisis. Early will I seek thee.

God knew about the trouble before it occurred. He gives us free will. Sometimes we get ourselves into situations, but he’s there for us.

Don’t be afraid to fail. That’s what grace is all about.

You grow from failure. Guard against the flesh.

Since failure is common, change the way you respond to it.

It’s just a stepping stone.

Have confidence in what God has done and have confidence in the word of God. Isaiah 55:10 – the rain that comes from heaven comes with a purpose.

So does God’s word. It comes to do what God has already ordained.

Never focus on those things or emotions that lead you from God’s word.

Stress, anxiety, fear and doubt. Whatever you say, you will have. That’s the power of speech. You must discipline your mind.

Proverbs 12:25 – Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. We must trust God without full understanding. God doesn't need to explain everything to you.

Faith acts like it is so, when it is not so, so it will be so.

I Remember Mama - Mother's Day 2015 Message

Sermon Date:  May 10, 2015

Sermon Topic: I Remember Mama

Scriptures: 2 Timothy 1:5-6, Proverbs 22:6, Proverbs 1, 2 Timothy 1:6

Sermon Notes:

2 Timothy 1:5-6 - 5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. In today’s society being a mother is an awesome task. It can be difficult when God is removed from public places.

Anything goes in this society – So your kids have little chance of having Christian values, unless you teach them.

Some churches aren’t preaching the gospel because they don’t want to offend anyone. Watered down version of preaching.

Whether you like it or not the gospel is the gospel. Pastor has been instructed in season and out to preach the gospel.

Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. It is our responsibility to teach the kids about the gospel. The word of God is your guide for living.

Proverbs 1 – the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but some folks don’t want to hear what God says.

In this society kids know exactly what to do, if they are disciplined. They simply call 911. If you train them up properly they wont have to dial 911. If they know that you are the parent and they respect you they will know better.

Reverence of the Lord is required. Forsake not the law of thy mother.

The ministry of the gospel is no place for timid souls or lack of enthusiasm.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Its essential for any kind of understanding. Stir up the gift of God. 2 Timothy 1:6 - Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

Godly mothers have all the resources needed.

Wisdom is the principle thing but you must also get understanding. In the word of God is instruction for marriage, family, jobs and children.

Godly mothers have the responsibility to know how to parent.  Proverbs 1:8 - My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

Timothy remembered the character of the grandmother and mother. It didn’t come through hereditary but by prayer. They know how to run the household. A child left to himself, brings shame to his mother.

Children have to watch who they hang with. They have so miuch against them. It takes mom and grandmother help them.

It’s time for mothers and fathers to stand up and say enough is enough.

The greatest thing is love – so we love.

We need Godly women to carry on the work of God.

Who will stand on the word of God?

Teach your children!

Grow or Die

Sermon Date:  May 3, 2015

Sermon Topic: Growing in the Spirit – Grow or Die

Scriptures: Psalm 141:3, Proverbs 10:11, Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 10:23, 1 John 2:15, Romans 13:14, 2 Peter 1:5, Galatians 5:22 – 23, 2 Peter 1:3, 2 Thessalonians 1:3, 1 Peter 4:17, Ephesians 4:14 – 15, Ephesians 3:17 – 19, John 15:4, Leviticus 27:8

Sermon Notes:

Grow in grace and in the knowledge. Sanctify yourselves and be Holy. We are commanded to grow in our faith, understanding, commitment and holiness. Leviticus 27:8 - But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

John 15:4 - Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. – Abide in me and I in you. Don’t be deceived into believing that all it takes to get to heaven is to show up for service.

We need to repent and accept Christ as our Lord. We must be born again and now we must grow in faith.

God commands us to grow in the spirit. Ephesians 3:17 – 19 – 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

We must first be rooted and grounded in love. Faith worketh by love. Being like Christ is the goal for spiritual growth. Ephesians 4:14 – 15 - 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ shows us how to be like Christ.

Everything you hear is not the truth. Every preacher, preaching isn’t teaching the truth. The truth sets you free – not a fell good message.

We have to speak the truth in love. Not beating anyone over the head with the gospel. Speak the truth in love. Don’t witness to people by condemning them. Aspects of spiritual growth – grow in grace in the knowledge of Christ. Study to show yourself approved. The grace will enable us to understand the knowledge.

1 Peter 4:17 –  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? If judgment begins with us, what of those who do not obey. Revelations 21:8 – the second death. The soul that sinneth shall die – we must grow or die.

Spiritual growth, we mist preach the truth – regardless if others like it or not. In order to grow we must grow in faith and in love.

2 Thessalonians 1:3 – We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; Your faith, growing exceedingly. We should love each other more and more each day. We can disagree but we must disagree in love.

Whenever you listen to a preacher, analyze the word that you receive.

2 Peter 1:3 – According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. God supplies the resources for spiritual growth.

Galatians 5:22 – 23 - 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Don’t ask for peace. Get the knowledge then you receive the peace through the knowledge.

We have to make every effort to grow. 2 Peter 1:5 - And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge. Knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness. When Christ saved us, we were washed. Old sins have passed away. You were purged from those sins. Don’t let the enemy remind you.

Until our minds are renewed we don’t know what we already have. We need to transform our minds.

In order to grow you must deny yourself. It’s not about us. You must die to self and study the word.

You want to grow have a little talk with Jesus.

Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit is writing, but thr flresh is weak. We need to walk in the spirit.

Romans 13:14 – But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Make no provisions for the flesh. The flesh is always lusting.

Come out from among them. If there are people who have a hold on you that causes. You to sin – stay away from them until you are strong.

When we grown – there has to be evidence. 1 John 2:15 – 17 – 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Our minds have to be transformed.

Seek those things that are above where Christ. Sits. Constantly seek Christ – don’t let material things distract you. He gives you what you need.

Matthew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Seek first the kingdom of God.

Change your conversation – some of the things that you say, you shouldn’t be saying. Proverbs 10:23 -  It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

Proverbs 10:11 - The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Be still – you don’t have to prove anything.

Psalm 141:3 – Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Set a watch over my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.  I don’t need to eat that, drink that, respond to that or have the last word.

Grave yards are filled with people who had the last word. There are marriages that would be still intact if they didn’t have the last word.

Bible Study 4 - 29-15: Knowing How to Pray the Prayer of Faith

Date: April 29, 2015

Scriptures: Isaiah 55:10-11, 2 Corinthians 9:10, Jeremiah 1:12, Hebrews 11:6, Mark 11:22, 2 Corinthians 5:14, Psalm 34:1, Matthew 6:30-31, Isaiah 40:31, Isaiah 40, Philippians 4:6, Psalm 91:14-15, Jeremiah 33:3, Psalm 4:3

Sermon Topic: Knowing How to Pray the Prayer of Faith

Sermon Notes:

All of the blessings of God are already ours; we need information in order to access the power.

Speaking faith filled words brings us a blessing. We must be mindful of fear and doubt. Fear and doubt must be mindful. Never let outward circumstances to change our inner convictions. Can’t let situations remove us from the word of God.

Isaiah 55:10-11 – ¹⁰ For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: ¹¹ So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

The word will work when we work the word. We only need to believe. A believer acts on the word of God. The word of God is a seed. We saw that seed into our circumstances situations.

2 Corinthians 9:10 – Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) We are the righteousness of God. Jeremiah 1:12 – Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. God will do what he said. He’s waiting on faith-filled saints to speak the word into our circumstances to bring about change.

The power of God’s word is realized when we realize that there is power in what we say. Death and life is in the power of the tongue. Don’t let anything to convince you to say something contrary to the word of God.

We must be in agreement with the word of God, which transcends now or six months from now, but it doesn’t go anywhere. Be not weary – don’t give up on God, if it hasn’t happened never let the flesh to make you say things that are contrary.

Whatsoever you say – we have everything that pertains to life and Godliness but if you don’t believe it, you won’t receive it. If you don’t ask in faith – you won’t receive it – Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Mark 11:22 – And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Anyone who has faith in God can speak to the mountain and believe that it shall come to pass. No matter the time frame. Don’t allow time to change your confession. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Remember Caleb – God kept him for 40 years to bring him what he promised. It will happen – you must watch what you say.

2 Corinthians 5:14 – For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead. I’m not just an old sinner. I have been seated and seeded in heavenly places in Christ.

Spiritual growth is needed – we can’t pray to God one day then speak against what we prayed the next day.

When I pray, I believe that I have it. I don’t wait until I see it, that’s not faith. Find out what the word says about the things you desire, and then pray for what you desire.

Don’t go to God with the problem; go to God with the answer. God’s word is the final authority. Psalm 34:1 – I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. God gave us a choice to receive the righteousness in Christ. What God says must be our main focus.

Matthew 6:30-31 – ³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? ³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Remain in what God has said. Don’t put the thought into motion. When the thought comes, cast it down. Don’t say it.

Remember the mouth sets the stage for our lives.

Take God’s word and act on it. So whatever you’re dealing with, take God’s word and act on it.

Act on what God says.

When we go thru things we shouldn’t get caught up in fear because we know who’s in control.

Only with your eyes will you see it but it won’t come near you. Isaiah 40 – Repetitiously speak what the word of God says and be aware of those who came in to your environment with doubt.

In our daily lives there will be people who come to us that don’t believe the word of God.

People will respond to fear but won’t respond to the word of God. If you can believe – All things are possible.

The word of God is food. Isaiah 40:31 – But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. All of this is incumbent upon waiting. We need patience in order to live a victorious life. I don’t know where he will do it, but I know that he will.

Saying something for so long builds up a stronghold in our lives. If I’m speaking positive it builds up positivity in my life.

There are some things in our lives that we have talked ourselves out of. There is correlation to faith and words. God’s word is the answer. While you’re waiting, don’t be anxious.

Philippians 4:6 – Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Make your prayer words and your daily words, words of faith – words that that are in agreement with God’s words.

When we pray – we pray based on the word of God.

We’re in Christ. We have divine promises and answers to prayer. Psalm 91:14-15 – ¹⁴ Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. ¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Since he set his love upon me – I will deliver him. God didn’t say you would be without trouble. But he will be with you while you’re in your in trouble – deliver you from trouble and honor him.

Jeremiah 33:3 – Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Call upon me and I will answer you and show you things you’ve never seen before.

You’re in prayer and God is saying, “I got you”. When the wicked come upon you, they will stumble and fall – I’m not worried about them. We are secure – if we walk in the word.

Don’t be concerned. Every morning get up happy. Don’t get up wondering if you will be blessed. You are blessed because you’re awake.

True prayers is heard, but God doesn’t hear sinners. Psalm 4:3 – But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

Repent and have a right relationship with God in order to have access to the things of God.

The just shall live by faith. Those who are declared righteous shall live by faith.

When you look at the Old Testament and the New Testament look at what they endured. Paul was beaten. Peter, who denied Christ, righted himself and became anointed.

The same anointing that rested on them rest upon us.

We have a covenant with God.
