Living In The Holding Pattern

Let's read this morning Luke's Gospel 8 chapters look at verse 40

And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned the people gladly received him for they were all waiting for him

Now that right there in itself would would probably be suffice if we were to just

Talk about they were all waiting for him. Amen and behold there came a man named J iris and

He was a ruler of the synagogue and he fell down at Jesus feet and besought him that he would come into his house

For he had one only daughter about 12 years of age and she lay dying

But as he went the people thronged him

and

A woman having an issue of blood 12 years which had spent all her living upon physicians

And neither could be healed of any came behind him and touched the border of his garment and immediately her issue of blood

staunched or stopped

Jesus said who touched me when all denied Peter and they that were with him said

Master the multitude thronged thee and pressed thee and sayest thou who touched me

And Jesus said somebody had touched me for I

perceived that virtue is going out of me and

When the woman saw that she was not hid she came trembling and fell down before him

She declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she had

How she was healed immediately and he said unto her daughter be of good comfort thy faith hath made thee whole go in peace

And while he yet spake there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying to him

Thy daughter is dead

Trouble not the master

But when Jesus heard it he answered him saying

fear not

believe only

She shall be made whole

Just a simple thought this morning I'll speak to us on the on the thought of living in the holding pattern

Living in the holding pattern. I don't know what the times over the years

I have preached from this particular passage. It's just so rich just like so many of the others

I think we never exhaust the scripture

I think we could read this again next week and the Lord enlighten us on something else and and we preach totally something different

I know it's multiple times and every time I read it. I think about

J-Iris been in a condition of double jeopardy

With this issue that he's having with his daughter and now the help that was on its way has been delayed has been stopped

And then from that he receives the worst news possible

Your daughter is dead trouble not the master, but I I'm so grateful that the master was already troubled and

He was already in in route if you will

He was already in progress going to meet his need and I'm so grateful that he continued on his way

Amen, but this thought living in the holding pattern father. I love you today. I thank you for your goodness and your mercy

I thank you for your word because it is life to us. It's enrichment to our souls Lord

It's it's the enablement of the tomorrows that we have in our life that we can walk in your word

Or your word is hope help and your word is life

Lord may we that have ears to hear Lord may it penetrate into our?

Situations of life Lord. I know that you've you put this on me. I know you've burdened my heart with it

I know you've stirred me and the unction is here to preach it

And so father I ask that you would touch us today each of us as I am included

Lord touch us today that we may hear and receive of your heart and what the spirit's saying to the church in Christ's name the

church said

Amen, I don't know if you've been aware. There's there's

Seems like sister Kathy and I as we try to watch television

We have we have noticed that I don't know how much dumber commercials can get if that's a

If you're an English teacher, and I just butchered the Kings again. Just forgive me

But I don't know how much dumber

commercials can get

It just baffles my mind. I thought really I mean was that all about you know

But there's one about this new car deal carvana

And

During the commercial they're they're trying to the whole point is she's they're gonna sell their van this man and his wife

They're gonna sell their silver minivan and so she's gonna sell it on carvana

And so they're watching carvana for the best rate and every time he thinks the money's right. She says hold

Huh? Now how many have seen that one?

Then about six different times. He's he's at the grill honey. It's up to boy. Hold

You know and he keeps going and she gets more boisterous with her. Oh

Right, and then in the middle of the night she hits the button and

Shouts she sold it and he jumps up in the bed. What what what she said? I just sold it

The whole point of the matter is to hold

The whole point of the matter is to hold

When we stop and think about life sometimes we we are placed in what's known as a holding pattern

Think about this by definition. It's the state or period of no progress or

Change have you ever witnessed things in your life situations in your life where you've been put on hold

And you're ready to move forward and you keep hearing the Spirit of the Lord say hold

Not yet. It's not time to move. It's not time to proceed forward

It's it's time to hold when I think about different times and periods over our history

during the 1933 inaugural address from President Franklin Roosevelt that that

Kindly brought about an acclaim of one famous sentence and statement come out of that where he declared

There's nothing to fear but fear itself as he's trying to

Calm a nation in the throes or in the clutches of a great depression

and he's trying to stimulate them to have some hope and trying to

Instill in them that there is a future a brighter future

It's hard to get a hold of that when you see a nation in a holding pattern of that nature

You have the dust bowls in Texas and people are starving and it's a very hard and difficult time in a

Nation and we don't understand how that we can be

But put in these holding patterns and and fear is a factor

Concerning a holding pattern sometimes fear will put a hold and put its own lock on us and and bring about a sense

of paralysis and we're unable to move and unable to progress and and to go any further and

When we stop and think about what?

Roosevelt would say in that statement and the power

It really did stabilize a nation. There's nothing to fear but fear itself

It brought about a calming because the reality when you face the situation and you face the issue

Yes, you may be at a point of no progress. Yes. You may be in a period of no change

But that means it's not any worse. It may not have gotten any better. But hallelujah

It hasn't gotten any worse. Amen. No progress no change and things are going to be better

No change and things are staying the way they are

it brought about something that that brought hope into a people and and the plan that he would bring in and begin to see

America rise again out of the despair of that Great Depression fear ranges

It brings a sense of dread and of hopelessness in it and it ranges from a mild anxiety

Anxiety to crippling panic attacks where you are unable to move frozen because of fear

the Psychiatric Association have listed over

500 different phobias, you know acrophobia and I'm not even going to mention the snake of phobia

It's a word. I can't even hardly get out but you understand what I'm saying

It's the fear of natural things that cause us to be gripped in a state of

Immovability we are just immobile. You cannot move your grip to the point where you are frozen. Can I

Illustrate today that can happen in our spiritual lives as well that we can be so gripped with fear that we become

Immobile we're in a holding pattern fear brings on us

Sometimes God will place us in a holding pattern and and it's not because of fear. It's not because of doubt

It's not because of sin not because of unbelief, but there are times that God himself may place us and a holding pattern

Where there seems to be no progress there seems to be no change with our situation and when the enemy tries to come in at

Those times remember that phrase of Roosevelt's there's nothing to fear but fear itself

But also remember what the Word of God proclaims over your and my life

We've not been given the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind and if I'm in a holding pattern

There's a reason and a purpose for that in my life research indicates that there are only two natural fears

We're only born with two natural fears

One of those is falling and the other is of loud noise and loud

Sounds and it never ceases to amaze me how these mamas bring these brand new babies in here

And they're gonna sleep all the way through this noise that I rattle on with to the top of my lungs when you get happy

And you praise it

Isn't it wonderful that there is a peace that comes up when you're in the presence of God and babies can sleep and not just babies

I've seen some of you snore just a little amen

You're you're unmoved by the loud noise of my voice

You can get so rock but I guess a restful peace and the anointed presence of the Lord is better than anywhere else

So if I nudge you I just want you to come to a man

But let the baby sleep on but it never ceases to amaze me how that even in the noise of a Pentecostal

Worship service that little babies can just sleep on a man because they're knowing that there's nothing to fear and what they hear

Especially if that little baby has been formed in the sanctuary

Amen, that's the reason I think a lot of times

They're not so stressed out when I reach for them to hold them at baby dedication. They're familiar with the preacher's voice

They've heard the pastor's voice for at least nine months

Hello, and so they're unshaken and they know that that loud noise is not gonna hurt them nor harm them

Can I tell you this morning that the voice of God speaking into your life will not hurt you?

Neither will it harm you but he will speak into your situation

He will speak into your crisis moment and he will bring a peace that will pass all understanding

Every other fear that we have in life is learned and we train ourselves to be aware of them

Oh as it takes the form of the fear has the form of success you realize there are people who are afraid to succeed

Because they don't know what doors that may open and they feel overwhelmed with success

There are others who have the fear of failure so they won't do anything and they remain paralyzed

There's the fear of rejection. How many of us enjoy being accepted?

We enjoy being loved a man and when we don't want rejection so many times we won't put ourselves out there

We won't expose our feelings

We won't expose ourself because of the fear that people will not accept us for who we are

Oh, there's the fear of disease and the fear of the future. I'm telling you

I believe that in our nation right now many are gripped with a fear of the future because of its uncertainty

But know this today child of God. You don't have to be afraid of the future. It's already pinned out

It's already written down. It's gonna get worse. Oh preacher. You're a big bundle of help this morning pastor

You're a big boost to my faith today

Well, it ought to be because it's fallen right in line with the word of the living God

But he said even though it gets worse

He said be of good cheer why because he knows that this world will bring about tribulation in our lives

But he also know what he afforded to the believer while these tribulations coming into their life be of good cheer because I have

Overcome the world a man knowing that we're just pilgrims here

We're just on a journey through life and this journey's taking us to the hope that we have the eternal hope that we have in Christ

And Christ alone. Oh my home is not here. Amen

My residing place is in eternity

Oh a man and him and with him forever to be and so when you look at the grander scheme of life

Why do you have to be afraid? Amen

Why does fear have to well over your soul be of good courage this morning? The Lord is on your side

He will watch over you. He will protect you and he will keep you even in your holding pattern

The Lord said in Luke 21 26 men's hearts

Will be felling them for fear

And for taking and looking after the things which are coming to the earth

Fear produces

negative effects on our life

It paralyzes to the point where we can't make rational decision

It paralyzes to the point where we cannot make a rational

logical

Decision on things that are facing us in life

I've already told you to mobilize this it causes you to be frozen in your position. It causes you to be

Stunned it just hinders action hinders prayer

Fear limits our faith eight man when we are believing more in the negative report of the enemy than the positive

Word of God it causes the limits on our faith. It restricts our hope it restricts relationships

It lowers your spiritual productivity and fear will even lower your physical productivity

Amen, it jeopardizes the good health that God has given us it and I'll tell you another thing fear will do

Fear is the king of robbing you of your joy, but I'm here to tell you today your joy does not

Determine is not determined by what goes on in this world now

It affects our happiness to a great level and to a great degree

But the sooner you realize that it is joy a man that is a hope of glory

It's the joy of the Lord that feels your life. It's drawing from the joy of the well of salvation that

Stabilizes your hope even though you're in a world it affects your happiness

But the joy of the Lord is will and always become the strength of the believer

Because I have a joy in knowing that this is not all there is the

Circumstances of life at the very moment is not the end of it all hallelujah

Hallelujah, the way that it works for J iris is exactly this J iris comes

He has a great problem. First of all, he is a devout man. He's a pastor if you will

He's over the synagogue of his area and his town and over his community

So he is a very devout man and somewhere in this

Devotedness to God he's come to an understanding that this man called Jesus is who he claims himself to be

Somewhere in his study of scripture somewhere there's been this stirring in this depth of his heart that he knows that the answer that he needs

And requires for his life the fear that is overwhelming him for losing his daughter's life and losing her

It can only be answered by approaching Jesus Christ and look what he does. He renounces his own faith

He steps against his own religious tradition of the day, but yet he steps out in faith

Can I tell somebody this morning if you'll just deny all of the garbage that's going on around you all the tradition?

That's going on around you and all of what everybody else has to say about your situation

And let a step of faith be extended by your feet and by your heart and by your uplifted hands if you can just let

Faith reach out hallelujah. It'll be a difference maker

It'll be what breaks the yoke and the bondage of fear off your life

If you just have enough faith and what you've heard somehow another J Iris had heard that Jesus was the real deal

And he's about to let go he's about to get out of a holding pattern

He's about to be released because there's faith coming his way and his faith's going to hoard the faith of all men

Which is Jesus Christ the righteous and at his feet he falls

Devout upstanding desperate can I tell you desperate folk or dangerous folk?

That when you become desperate

To get into Jesus's presence you become very dangerous

Because you don't worry about it all of a sudden. It doesn't matter what everybody else says or things

Amen

So what happened when two dead men were killed?

Amen, so what happened when two desperate people collide?

In our story you have two desperate people

colliding for the same answer

You have a desperate man whose daughter is sick

He's about to it be introduced to a desperate woman who is about to die herself. I

Think it's noteworthy to know she'd been sick for 12 years and his daughter was 12 years old

You've got two very desperate people who are colliding at a point of faith and the point of that faith is Jesus Christ

Both had been in a holding pattern. I don't know how long the daughter had been sick

We do know how long this woman had been sick. She had been sick for 12 long years

She had spent all that she had she had sought out every physician

Every new doctor every new quack and if you study ancient

Medicine you're gonna find out they were some real

Quacks in their day and the cure would be the thing would probably kill most of them other than the condition that they had

Some of the desperate measures they went to trying to save people's lives

There is no telling that the torture under the guise of medicine

Some of you probably know what I'm talking about this morning

Some of you probably tortured under the banner of medicine and and you just thank in God

You survived what they did to you let alone what you had and that's where this woman finds herself as this desperation in her life

She'd spent all she had there was no other answer. There was no other help. There was no other hope

We've got a man who's devout in his religious practice who has no other help and no other hope

Don't you know every doctor had been through his house as well?

Every physician had to come and see his daughter as well and he had lost hope and desperation

Collides at the feet of Jesus my God and as J iris makes his way and falls at his feet

He'd be sought that word be sought is literally begged. You've got a righteous man

You've got a man noted in the community

You've got a man that everybody knows and recognizes and now here

He is in the middle of the street on his face begging him back to help him

He's on the street on his face begging a man called Jesus to come to his house my my my my my

He's about to break a holding pattern because of faith is about to be released out of his heart because faith has now found its way

To the only help and the only hope that had any help and doing something for him and J iris is finding himself now

Begging for the only hope that my god wouldn't it be wonderful if we found ourselves at the feet begging

For more of what we need and more if we get desperate enough

We'll find ourselves again falling at the feet of Jesus and be seeking him and begging him to come and move

on our situation

He knew that Jesus was his only help hope and it seems as though his prayer had been answered

They're moving toward his house

And the collision of this second point of desperation

This woman with this issue

Interrupts his answer

Have you ever felt like your answer had been interrupted?

Have you ever felt like your answer had been interrupted? Have you ever felt like Jesus was doing something? I mean you you were feeling better about it and then wham

All progress is stopped and you're back in the holding pattern

I don't like holding patterns in airplanes. I don't know how they work it. I don't know how they figure it

Getting enough gas on that thing to circle around Miami

I mean, you know, evidently they don't gas and go like I do I get enough to get to where i'm going

Not right around town

Hello

I'm not going to circle the city when I get there. I get just enough to get to where i'm going

Save every gallon I can to help me get back

Pilot comes on since we're in holding pattern waiting on the thunderstorm. I thought well how much cash we got

I have tank quarter tank what we're looking at here. It'll help me in my desperation

I'm thinking this thing goes down. I hope it goes down on that swing out over the water so I can use my seat as a flotation device

My luck should go down right over the middle of florida

I'm thinking it's going to go down on that swing out over the water so I can use my seat as a flotation device

My luck should go down right over the middle of florida

I get just enough to get to where i'm going

How long lord do we have to wait how long do I have to how long am I going to have to be here

12 years

How long am I going to be in this holding pattern fear then begins to take hold doesn't it?

When you think about holding patterns when fear takes its grip adam and eve they hid from god in the garden because

Of fear

We know the direct result of that was sin

They were hiding from god because of fear of god

israel a nation of people

Gave up on the promised land because they were afraid

Of the giants that were in the land

According to psalm 789 ifrim turned back in the day of battle

Because of fear

Saul's army fled before goliath in first samuel 17 because they were afraid an army afraid of one man

Gideon have you ever heard of a gideon revival pastors don't like to hear about gideon revivals

That's revival by subtraction

Gideon started out with 32 000 men which was already a very small army at the force he was going out to face

And then god's going to whittle that down. He said gideon you tell everybody that scared half to death

Just go back to the house 22 000 of his 32 000 left that day

By the time he gets down to him drinking at the pool

He's left with 300 come on

But that's enough

That's enough if god's in it you're talking about a holding pattern i'm thinking gideon saying you want to do what?

A pitcher put a candle in it a trumpet in other hand where am I going to carry my sword?

This is a fight

Well, if god's in my I ain't got time for that. Let's move on

Elijah's gripped by fear and depression sets in his life

In first kings 19 Jonah runs from the call of god because of fear

All right

The disciples cried out master carest not thou that we perish because they were afraid of a storm

Fear gripping their lives

They leave him at calvary because they were afraid for their own lives

And we live in a world that's gripped with the chaos of fear

And in this world god speaks like he did here to jay iris

fear not

The worst news possible happened to jay iris as after the delay

With a woman with the issue of blood now she's healed and now she owns up to it

And now he's blessing her and now we can come out of the holding pattern and move toward

Move toward my miracle then the worst thing possible happens

Trouble not the master your daughter's dead

But I love it as luke records he said and jesus heard it

And he heard what was said to jay iris

He heard it he knows your situation he knows how desperate it may seem he knows how desperate it may appear

He knows

And one thing I love about the lord once he starts on a journey. He doesn't stop till he completes it

He knows

He knows

He knows

He knows

He knows

And one thing I love about the lord once he starts on a journey. He doesn't stop till he completes it

No matter the interruptions of the faith of others

Hello

He told jay iris i'm coming. Let's go

And nothing would suffice him until he got there. Amen

Fear not

Believe only

Let's go

How do you how do you do that? How do you get up out of the dirt?

He had to have been back down in the dirt. I would have been in the dirt

You tell me my daughter's dead i'm in the dirt

You tell me my 12 year old baby has just passed i'm in the dirt

I don't know in a crowd this size. Some of you may have already had the deal with that and you've been in the dirt

But then you hear the lord declare fear not

Believe only

Believe only

Believe only for your situation knowing that he is able believe only

Knowing that god himself is able to take care of the situation that you're dealing with and the issue and the circumstance

That has driven you to a point of desperation. He is

able

He's able to move in every situation, right?

Read a little story. I thought was funny

But it got to the point a little girl five six seven years old in the middle of the night storm comes up

She's asleep in her room and comes running to her mom and dad's room

She bursts through the door and moms they always go to mom's side. Hello

She goes to her mother said mom I want to sleep with you and daddy and you know how it is

Honey, you're gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay

Nothing to be afraid of it's just a storm. You can go back in there and go to sleep

No, I won't sleep with you and daddy said well, honey, it's gonna be fine

You're going to be okay. And besides that Jesus is in the room with you

The little girl looks at mom says that's okay mom. You go in there and sleep with Jesus. I'm getting in the bed with dad

You know sometimes seeing is believing

You go in there and sleep with jeez i'm staying right here with dad

And that's the way it works sometimes with our life

We hear the lord say some things like that to us. It's going to be okay

It's going to be all right. He's going to take care of he's going to answer. It's a storm

You're in a holding pattern. It will pass over it will pass by

It will be done with and we have to have hope and trust god knowing

That it's going to be over when we're in that holding pattern

And the only way you can do that is that you accept the assurance of god's promises

That's the only way you can do that

That's the only way you can go back in a storm and go to sleep

That's the only way you can get up out of the dirt

Because you are assured of the one who has made you the promise

And that he is full well and able to supply everything that he has promised to you in your life

If we just continue focusing to look at the circumstance

I assure you fear will grip you

I assure you that the devil will bind you up with it if that's all you can see

But you have to do as the psalmist we we have to condition our faith to do as the psalmist in that psalm of the assentin 121

Where does my help come from?

I'll lift up my eyes into the hills

Where does my help come from? Where am I assisted? Where do I receive my aid?

It's not the hills, but it's above the hills

I lift up my eyes into the hills from which cometh my help my help comes from the lord

When you get desperate in desperate moments know this your help comes from the lord

Sometimes you don't get assurance from the doctor. Sometimes you don't get peace from the diagnosis

Sometimes you you you leave in worse shape than you went in there

Yeah, but when you hear the word of god, it's going to be all right when god has made a promise to you

Amen, then you can be assured of every promise that he's made in your life and know that that assurance is

accompanied with his peace

You have to be assured that god is big enough

You have to assure yourself

You know, there are times you can't assure others until you have assured yourself

That god is able

And to know according what he said to isaiah

That he will keep him

in perfect peace

Whose mind is stayed upon the lord?

Trust me. I know how it is and how easy it becomes when you look at the circumstance and you you can't keep your mind

fixated on the promises of god because of the reality of the moment of what you are seeing

And the report like a j-iris that you just heard it's real. It's the real deal. It's the reality

It's the reality of life. Don't bother the master anymore

He is gone

But then the master interjects because he hears the negativity of the voice of fear and then he speaks in and says fear not

believe only

A lot of times we we invert that we say only believe but I think there's a reason it's believe only

Because if you begin with the believe and the singularity of it only

Leaves no other option for us

But if we invert it only

Believe it gives me other options before I have to believe

For me myself, it gives me other options

for me myself it gives fear an opportunity to interject its ugly head into my situation, but if I

believe only

It brings a new reality in a sense to me that it tells myself trust in the lord

Trust god believe

believe

Believe that's the simplicity of our life with christ

That's the simplicity of our life in this world believe only you know when I was a sinner, I only believed I knew there was a god

Hello, and I scared of him to a degree more afraid of mother than god

It's that immediate reality that she struck into my life and my belief system

I brought you in i'll take you out you do this this and this

Hello, am I the only one in here that heard that speech?

And even worse than that was if you don't listen to me i'm gonna tell your daddy

That's not a place I ever wanted to end up

It's where we are in our life that matters with your faith and believing god and god alone

I know we're slowing down this morning, but i'm trying to help somebody today

Fear will announce itself into your circumstance

Be assured of that the enemy will see fit to that

That fear will interject into your situation

And if we're doing anything but believing god it will cause a paralysis in our faith

My lord, I know

Paralysis in our faith my lord, I know

But rest assure the promises of god are ye and amen in christ

Jesus assure yourselves of that

His promises are unfailing first kings 8 56 says there's not one word not one word of any promise that god made to israel

That he did not fulfill

Romans 421 they are assured being fully persuaded paul said that

What the lord and what he had and what he had presented

Knowing that he was able to perform it

Whatever god had spoken

He was convinced

That god was able to perform it

Are you convinced?

Are you convinced of the promise that god has made you in your circumstance?

And the holding pattern that you're finding yourself in this this period of unchanged this

State of being spiritually that you feel like you've been stuck in for a while

Do you trust god? Is your faith in god maintaining and staying whole and complete?

Knowing that god is able

And then if you are then it's not hard to commit

The results to god

Of whatever it is

And to trust god that the outcome is his will

And to trust god that the outcome is his will

Emphasized over our own

That was that's a hard one to that's a hard one to ingest right there

Because god doesn't always do it the way we want it done

But he knows you and I better than we know ourselves and he performs

According to his will for our life

And if our lives are subjected to him

He's faithful

Stand with me. I'm gonna wind this down. I got a long way to go, but I'm gonna wind it down

You cannot be in doubt

That god is on your side

God is on your side

Cory 10 booms definition of faith

Don't doubt the dark what god has shown you in the light that's that's pretty powerful

God has revealed himself

Don't doubt it when the midnight hour comes

But randy's been doing a wonderful job walking us through the book of acts

As we finished up last week after the shipwreck on the isle of malta

Paul and all the others

God told paul you're going to rome

And rome he would show up

No matter what tried to stop him

Tried to stop him hurricane-tight storm shipwrecked on an island bit by poisonous snake

And many other peril and danger along the way

God said paul you're going to rome. I need you there

There was only one final destination for paul that was rome

No matter how rough the journey

His life may have only been spared by

A plank off a ship that he rode to shore doesn't matter

His life was spared somebody you need to hear this this morning

You may be like a jacob you may come out of your holding pattern with a limp

But when you come out of it, you're going to be blessed

If god has spoken something over your life to your life

And in your life

I don't know what condition you'll be in by the time you get to it, but you will get to it

Desperation drives us to many different measures

And don't for a moment think you're the only one that's in a holding pattern

Sometimes we live in the holding pattern

Abraham waited

For isaac to be born

Joseph waited through the pit

Through the prison

To get to the palace

He'd already had a dream

The moon the stars were going to bow before him that's what got him in the pit

Joshua and kala had to wait for the moon to come

Joshua and kala had to wait 40 years

For the reality of something that they had already once partook of

To the fulfillment of it

You don't about a holding pattern

One of my favorite favorite scripture is that about concerning the ending of that 40 year holding pattern when the lord said

You've can pass this mountain long enough

to turn

My god, I wait for that don't you

That's what i'm waiting for by holding pattern to be broke

You've been here long enough you've walked in circles long enough it's been 40 years

And I want you to turn

My David waited

Go tear you in Jerusalem till you be endued with power jesus said

The disciples waited

And so here you and I are here we are

In a holding pattern

I don't know what your wilderness looks like. I don't know what the storm of sea of life is doing to you

I don't know how you're being affected by the grip of fear as it comes into your situation and individual circumstances

And you're in this holding pattern no progress no change

Could be just a few days weeks months some of you could be in the circling pattern for years it seems

And you're living in the holding pattern, but i'm here to tell you child of god

There's an appointed moment when the lord says you've compassed it long enough

Turn father. I love you this morning. What I've preached what you've laid on my heart

Turn father. I love you this morning. What I've preached what you've laid on my heart

Lord I felt the shift

I felt it in here a few moments ago

That's why we're winding this to this point

To the point of desperation

Mercy never fails me

All my life

In your hands listen

Moment that I wake up

Till I lay my head

I will sing

Of the goodness

Of god

You said pastor i'm in a holding pattern

Life you have been

I'm in a holding pattern

And I needed that word today. I hear the voice of the lord

I know what he's saying to me in my circumstance in my situation

And I just need strength

I need his added grace

I need a touch this morning

Are you desperate enough to make your way to this altar?

If you are come right on

Stand right here in the front just line up here in the front

Just come on in I'm in a holding pattern

I'm ready

I wish today was the day I heard turn

You've been in here long enough

Oh my god I see the lord working his people are moving this away

He's heard everything he's heard it all folks

Thank you jesus
