This message is not about paradise. This message is about process.
-
This message is about the fight.
-
For faith in the middle. If God gets in your life,
-
He's going to get all up in the middle of it.
-
And so Peter says.
-
Sometimes you are so focused on what's behind you, and
-
you are so focused and concerned and anxious about what's
-
ahead of you, you are missing the.
-
Presence of God. He is not the great I was,
-
and he is not the great I will be. He
-
is the great I am, and his presence is not
-
just what heaven one day. The Kingdom of God is
-
at hand. He's here in the middle. Sometimes you have
-
to look back and see how far God has already
-
brought you. So salvation means I am not what I
-
once was.
-
My expectation is that as I walk with God, and
-
as I make decisions to follow Him, that this gap
-
behind me will get bigger and the gap in front
-
of me will get smaller. But guess what God does
-
when you take a step, when you make a move,
-
When I step, you step, watch this God moves too.
-
The same grace that created this gap between where I
-
was and where I am is the grace I need.
-
I step, you step to keep moving forward. So God
-
says to everyone who's in the middle of something right now,
-
gets stepping stay in the middle. I need a gap
-
that makes me grateful, and a gap that makes me grow.
-
If you're looking for the grace of God, don't look
-
to your deathbed, and don't look to your past. He
-
is the great I am. If you're looking for the
-
grace of God, put your eyes on that middle cross.
-
But don't look at your past. You're not going that way,
-
and don't even worry about your future. God is already there.
-
If you're looking for the grace of God, it's in
-
the middle. How need somebody to praise God right here,
-
right now for his grace in the middle.
