record-breaking year for our church in so many ways.

And 2021 you broke ground on the Hope Center, you broke giving

records and you broke down the walls of sin for so many people

to say, yes to Jesus, but maybe on the second day of 2022, you

don't feel so. Cool.

Maybe you're feeling a little defeated, maybe you're feeling a

little less than or a little down and out and maybe you feel

like 2022 is already a failure will lean in this morning as

Pastor Sean brings a message of Hope as we begin this new year

with hashtag 2022. Come on.

All right. Look at the comments.

Look who's on the screen and just some hearts.

Get some like celebrity know you You love them, especially

updates new, come on, let them listen.

The Hawks crate, crash Facebook, come on, come on.

You can do it well, Happy New Year.

I can't believe it's 20 22 already.

And maybe yesterday, you had the perfect New Year's day, maybe

leaning into it, your family and friends.

You have a great time, surrounded by people, you lay

that special kiss on that special, someone at the stroke

of midnight. You finally got the courage.

Come on somebody. Now, as you pass your for 10

years, And there is a great situation, is kind of weird, but

we're a power-play. We know these teens and it was

getting closer. Struck midnight in this guy.

I had a crush on this girl, and it wasn't nothing, but for him

was the thing. He kept sliding closer, you

know, to her all that long and you close them on the screen

yet. He called, and he slides over

this girl and ricerca midnight. He literally lays a kiss on his

girl. He's like that.

Come on. It was an awkward feel awkward

sign on there. Lasik is all those girls left at

the stroke of midnight so maybe you have the courage.

I don't know, don't be weird like that on the higher tiers

was. But here's the old no matter

what you went to sleep that night and you woke up and for a

lot of us that anxiety was still there, that loss is still there.

That pain was still there. Everything really changed the

time changed but you stayed the same.

And so they this message is really dedicated to those of us,

they're trying to lay a foundation for this year and

getting past your past moving. In the direction.

And so I want to encourage you today.

That is so easy for us to really get tied down on courage, to

break some chains, and some change, the past will hold us

back. And so, a lot of us say, well,

why even change? I've been struggling with the

same thing for so long. Why in the world?

I haven't even care. I'm still the same addiction.

I try to break it. I go back to it over and over

and over again for someone says, why even care?

I've been in relationships is falling apart.

Why do you care about going back?

Why care about serving? I served in the past.

So you guys serve the church. 10, 15, 20, 30 years ago.

And he got burned out and like me, why would I even do this

again? I've been down this road before

I got burned out. Why commit?

We have some relationship issues, maybe a child, it has

walked away, or a spouse in the past and you're in a fight with

the relationship. You like me, and I don't even

care to even try it again. I've tried before, it's not

going to happen. It's the same results.

I give him my best. I'm not gonna go down that road

and it's not going to work out. Nobody notices, and can I just

say this Satan? Sin has a way of holding us to

our past to chaining us down there fact, the Bible says that

Satan has come to kill, steal, and destroy.

He has come to stop you. He's come to distract.

You to hold you back from what God has for you for 2022.

Matter of fact, the Old Saint Nick may have brought your

present, but Satan may have stolen, your joy sometime last

year for some of you, if something else is happy, you're

like they're delusional. I told somebody one time I said,

you know, I try to make every season my favorite season and

somebody said, well, it must be nice to lie to yourself.

There's so much pain, so much hurt.

So many feelings, so much holding us back from the plan

that God has for us. And so, it's message is for you.

If you've been chained down by your past, we're start a versus

really famous verse the powerful bursts.

It's a little passage in Philippians chapter 3 and Paul

Philippians 3 · chapter mention

is writing to the church at Philippi.

He says this, he says not that I've already obtained all this

or have already arrived at my goal basis.

I press on, I push forward to hold on for one.

Christ. Jesus has taken, hold of me in

essence. God is saying, I have a plane

for you. I'm Holding On To You Paul for a

purpose and pulsing I've been tainted.

What Christ has helped me for you?

Need to know today. That Christ is holding on to you

for a reason. There's a purpose.

You're in the season, you're in, in Jesus is holding.

You goes on verse 13, says, brothers and sisters.

I do not consider myself yet to have taken, hold of it.

I've been obtained. What?

Christ? Hold onto me for, but one thing

I do forgetting what is behind, so Paul is Literally saying I'm

forgetting my past failures. I'm forgetting, that was a

murder of Christians. I'm forgetting that was holding

the cloak of the Garment of Stephen, as he's being stoned,

as you being killed by the Pharisees, I'm forgetting my

success. I brought the gospel to most of

the known world. I'm forgetting that I was

betrayed by a good fellow worker.

Another messenger for the gospel name, Dimas I'm forgetting that

Barnabas wants to rip me, but then walked away with a

different direction after That was beaten.

I'm forgetting the sleepless nights.

Not forgetting. That was left for dead numerous

times. I'm forgetting my past even

though it's good or bad. He says, but I'm straining

toward what is ahead because I'm reaching for the things of

Christ that God is holding me to.

There's something in front of me that God has for me.

My fact is a reason got gives you a rearview mirror about this

big in a windshield that this big because you're moving

forward and not backwards. He says, I'll press on toward

the goal to which the prize for which God has called me

heavenward. Word in Christ Jesus.

In other words, Paul saying I'm no longer chain down to my past.

I'm not a victim of my circumstances, rather, I'm

straining. I'm fighting, I'm pushing, I'm

coming. After the things of God, its

fourth down and 25 yards, but I'm all in, we're going for.

Come on somebody as your grade for Chiefs game.

Cool, Luke chapter 9 says this verse 62, says Jesus replied.

Luke 9 · chapter mention

No one who puts her hand to the plow and looks back is fit.

For service in the Kingdom of God.

In other words, if you'll be used by God, you'll be in the

presence of God, but your eyes are stuck on something behind

you. If you change your past, you're

not ready to serve it out, ready to be used for the kingdom of

God, that factors versus in the context of somebody says, I'm

all in Jesus. Put me in coach, I'm ready to

go. I'll do anything for you.

But I've got to go back in my dad died to go back and bury and

Jesus says this comment that's going to rock us off the Kind of

the stable land around. He says, Let the dead bury the

dead, it's like that's already behind you.

And that culture had taken months and months and months

together, family, and to have a proper burial, the things they

would do in that culture. And Jesus said, hey, the past is

the past, the past is behind you.

In fact, this verse is in the context where somebody says, Hey

Jesus. I'm all in on the fall.

You'll go anywhere I surrender to you, but let me go back and

say goodbye to my family and then Jesus makes those comedy

says, whoever puts their hand to the plow and looks back is not

fit for the kingdom. God, they will say goodbye to

their family, want to bury the dead and Jesus says, hey what's

behind? You is I would have for you have

something in front of you. We're going in a direction in

2022 and what's happened the past.

You can't change, your can't control, we're moving forward.

And so to break chains and this year, we have to get her eyes

off of the past, our heart off the past and move forward with

the things of God, because God has a purpose for you.

So I'll do I'll give you one best practice.

We're not going to be long today, but I want to encourage

you to one best practice to get your eyes.

On the things I've got. So what battle you facing this

season? What's the thing you're

struggling with? What's on your heart?

What do you, what made your identity?

What's the question? You're asking yourself?

What? What image you're trying to

portray? What loss is in your life?

What battle are you having? What battle, what maybe we

regret or what time management? What priority what relationship

is falling apart? What is God's showing you

through these things? And I would encourage you

instead of making resolutions this year which you're just

making resolutions. I think religious but Was a

great. But since have a resolution that

you're not going to, you know, finish off the ice cream to the

bottom of the tub. Come on somebody, you're gonna

get Planet Fitness membership and work out, six days a week.

Come on, says, doing P90X every single day, except all these

resolutions, I would encourage you.

Some difference, your resolutions are all like

doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo and have all these do our goals which are

great about encourage you to write a daily declaration.

And I am statement about yourself, it's way, bigger

picture. It's it's really a comment about

your identity and calm about God is doing and these are really

who go Goals, these really statements about yourself

through, clearing to yourself and to the world around you,

that this is who I am declaring to Satan himself.

That this is who you are, is your input goals.

Your things are, God of shown you and you got to stand on

these things with her so easy to forget.

So I'll give you the first for mine and then we'll dive into

what that could look like for you.

So number one says, I'm growing closer to Jesus every single day

because of Jesus, my family are stronger.

My body is healthy. My faith is deeper, my

leadership is sharper. Number two, I'm creative

innovative. Its focus and blessed beyond

measure because the Holy Spirit dwells in me number three, my

gift is leadership. I develop others with Open

Hands, delegating Authority, and empowering those with room to

fail number for. I'd love Diane Foley and first,

so I love these declarations, I have a whole list of

declarations that read. What does it helps me to stay

focused because it's so easy to be distracted.

And so if you don't have Life Giving words and if you're like

me or most people, they're surrounded by people, probably

all the time. That what take something from

you. Be growing up and maybe your

dad, or your family, or a friend is left your betrayed you and

made a life taking words over you.

I love us speaking to young men and especially short the church

on Sunday by be a middle school or a high schooler.

And often times, I love to stick my hand out and give a big hand

shake. And first time, they probably

had somebody like really squeeze the hand, like a man Shake

right? Break your arm off and I love

telling them, hey, you're gonna be a strong man, one day, you

can be great. Husband, you're gonna be amazing

leader. I know God to do something great

in your life. And for most people, they open

her actual big because Most people say those chat thanks to

people about facts, kind of opposite, people are picking on

people and check people down and so I encourage love to encourage

people and build them up and really shape their identity.

And so your words matter more than you think and not just the

word you say to other people but the words you tell yourself that

your self-talk that your may say I am good or I'm not good

enough. I can't make it.

And so what is it when you look in the mirror in the morning

that you need to tell yourself every single day?

What is the difference? You can tell yourself in 2022

that you maybe didn't sell yourself in 2021.

What is God been showing you? What's been revealing about your

life? What struggled you need to give

to God? What is God saying to you?

Now, I believe you is open God's word and you say, Okay, God just

show me something, you're holding onto me for a purpose.

I wonder what that purpose is reveal something to me.

I've been struggling with this addiction or struggle with this

problem. Got what is it you want from me?

Got, show me something. I believe God can speak through

his work. I know for How many people it's

like, pick the Bible up? I got to read the Bible.

Gary about know, we get the read them High V.

Their fact is I would encourage you to do a Bible reading plan

this year. And I'm not going to tell you

what plan or how much to read or whatever I think is really gold.

I think the goal of reading the Bible is that the Bible reads

you, that you show up and maybe it's one verse a day, maybe just

get the U version 1 verse a day. You read the verses a day and

you said, Okay God do something with that.

For some of you it's like I'm gonna read the New Testament

this year. For some you can read new

testament twice, some of you read the whole Bible this year,

Here. But that's what God has for you.

But you want to ask the question, got what are you

showing me? So what do you want to do about

this guy? Like let's speak to you.

Don't just get in the habit, as read the Bible because you have

to read the Bible. That's not the point.

You really got bottle of know, God.

And so be asking those questions.

I do encourage you when God speaks to you, write it down.

So this declaration that you're gonna speak of yourself When God

says, hey, this is who you are. You're no longer an addict, you

are set free to power crash. You're not a victim of your

circumstances. You are strong.

You were healed. You are forgiven.

You are made new when God starts speaking.

These things. It down and then save every

single day. We're say it to yourself.

Remind yourself. Look yourself in the eye, maybe

little person, ever does this. Look yourself on that in the

mirror in the morning and tell yourself who you are in Christ.

See the enemy has a strategy for you in 2022.

The enemy has a plan for you. There fact.

Probably look like a lot like playing last year and I believe

when you start getting these declarations in your heart and

your mind, you're going to wreck the plans of saying, you're

going to change your destiny because you are foundationally

changing the direction. Of your life.

By declaring who you are. Today, I want to give you two

very important. Very, very important principles.

Found the Bible. These daily declarations.

These are chain breaking declarations.

Number one, is this, I am not a victim of circumstances, not a

victim of life, but I'm gifted and created to lead and change

circumstances from what they are to what they can be.

Matter of fact, this is for most people when they when they get

into a problem. When the pressure happens when

they have an expectation set is not there.

When they have a pace, they want to run at and something gets in

the way or someone gets in the way the Temptation is always to

blame the Temptation is say, well, if it was for that person,

I would have done this and I would be on time, but that I

would have done this but this and I came.

It's just blame blame, blame even blaming themselves but I

want to tell you something, God placed you in this moment in

this season on purpose, and it's to plow The field, think about

that who respects their hands to the plow and looks back is not

fit for the kingdom of God. And God has put you to the plow

and you could imagine plowing in a direction.

If you're looking the other way, blame, everything else around

you. So you gotta put you in this

hard season. Nobody said, sign me up the

plow, I love plowing plowing. My favorite thing to do but God

has put you in the season to turn over some hard soil.

Yeah. I put you in the middle of a

problem so you could get the season ready of preparation for

God to do something in your family.

Got to do something with all the problems and all the things that

sets you stop, you from reaching your goals and set you back and

all the hard things around you, those are created by God because

there's a field that God has for you to plow in this season.

There's some spiritually dry relationships that God has

called you to nourish and repair in 2022.

Matt back, he's preparing the field so you can plant some

seeds. Amen.

So you can plant some seeds there be a harvest in the

future. So you're called to these hard

things to turn over some Soil, to bring some change to bring

some purpose in the season. So if you wonder, why is this so

difficult is? Because God has placed you

there. There's a season our life as a

Christian is called endurance. And so I would say no one likes

the plat, right? The plowing is, in sexing

plowing is hard work. It's long days, it's sweaty.

It's hard. Nobody says, thank you for

plowing. I love the way that plowed

field. Looks.

Nope, there's no. There's no reward to it.

You don't get a harvest from the plow.

You have that plan season. Wait, longer sees In the season

of preparation and is hard season that you may be in, and

you're walking through, you have to thank God because he's put

your hand to the plow matter. Fact, he wants you to plow a

certain way, so you gotta look the direction of the plant, you

can't look back and just wander around.

Aimlessly the season, your ends. Maybe a season of preparation,

the beginning of part 2022. If your relationship with God,

is it where it should be? You're going to be a season, the

preparation. If there's some relationships

that aren't where they want to be, you're going to be a season.

The preparation do a lot of hard work or law, hard, things behind

the scenes. And Getting your heart, ready

for the things of God and plow. Your own heart with the word of

God, It's Gonna Change 2024, you 2022 for you.

I would say this to you walk in the season, you got this mindset

walk in the season that I love problems, boom Pastor, I love

problems, your problems are possibilities, the problems you

face or the or the plow, you have to apply to this the fuel

in front of you and all the problems you have, if you

complain about it and like, all man, I can't believe this.

And, and you're stressed about it.

And you're irritated about it and it slowed you down and get

frustrated. You all those things are

actually on purpose and they're there for you to have

possibility of change all those problems.

You face are opportunities for God to move through you.

You can plow that field if you don't like, relationships are in

your family, guess what? You can change that you had to

be in charge, but you can influence that.

You can pray for that, you can start changing the culture of

your family. If your work isn't where you

want it, you can It changing your heart changing, the culture

of those really influencing those above you that you can't

blame those people around. You're not victim of

circumstances, but you're called to lead and change from what

they are. So what they can be.

And that's what 22 2022 is. All about is seeing the

opportunity and the potential in the possibility through your

problems. S declaration is this.

I will bring my best and then some it's what I bring after do

my best. That makes the biggest

difference so you Satan loves to create this snare of self P.

Say Loves it to get your eyes and yourself and say well I did

my best, I tried really hard and it didn't go all the way I

wanted to and therefore I can do whatever I want to do.

I can, I'm Justified now, I can leave.

I could quit on that stuff. I don't never go back to this.

You can get mad. You can gossip.

Come on. You can make that post.

I know somebody. That's this is going to be home

for 2022, right? If you don't, if if you don't

make the post or your baby, maybe Facebook kicks you off

instead of God, I know some of you son Are you?

That's what happened this year and it was the biggest lesson

you had in 2021, right? But you can do it, everyone, you

can fight. You can be mad.

You can justify any Behavior you want you, because you try to do

your best and we'll tell you today that when you do your best

and you do and then you do even more and then what you do, next

makes the biggest difference when you give your best and it

doesn't work out and when you give your best and it still

hasn't changed, and you give your bad since not the direction

to go, I would encourage you to give your best again.

Give your best. And then some and those Work out

then give your best and then some it doesn't go Direction

want to. Then just give your best your

faithful to God. Not to people may affect your

enemy is not your kids. Come on somebody.

Some of these here is today you're frustrated to death with

your family. Your enemy is not your spouse.

Your enemy is not your boss, your enemy doesn't have a face.

The enemy doesn't go by a certain name.

That's not something you can see every day.

Then he has a strategy is working behind the scenes, has a

plan for you. This year.

And so encourage you that we are faithful to God.

We have to recognize that the people around us are

possibilities and not problems. And that God wants to use you

this year. I'll tell you, it takes a Judas.

So, think about Jesus and Judas, I love Vicky go each and she

posted this. You said if it if it wasn't for

Judas there wouldn't be a cross. And so thank God for Judas.

Thank God for the problem. See, Jesus was close to Judas.

Jesus knew that Juicy Fruit right here.

In fact, Jesus fulfilled, some prophecy for Jesus, and Jesus

used it, but you never find anywhere in the bible where

jesus blamed Judas. Man, I wouldn't, I wouldn't on

this cross wasn't for Judas. I can't believe in this

situation if one for Peter or Paul or anybody else around, he

didn't blame anybody, but he knew God was in every single

circumstance. Should I tell you?

It takes us all. You think about David.

Thank God for saw this man. That chase me around for over 15

years, trying to kill me. I was a season of preparation.

Ation backpack you think about David.

He would have say thank God for my dad who overlooked me.

He stuck me as a Shepherd boy in a field so I can play a harp.

Come on, somebody and sing praises to God.

He's overlooked, he picked every single other one of his sons all

the other other siblings and he thought, oh yeah.

Yeah, those I guess I do have this other kid named David and

then the prophet anointed David to be king and that season who's

being prepared, they was being prepared to kill a lion, a bear,

but prepared to one day slot or slay Goliath.

You Goliath you later, that's a good one.

Your life is ready to kill your life because you prepared the

season. He was plowing a field and it

was no, it was a thankless. His dad, even recognize nobody

even noticed him. As he was just a little boy.

Bring a sack lunch to his brothers but God Was preparing

to use him. So I encourage you.

Thank God for your salt. Your enemy isn't here on Earth

or entity is somewhere else. And so just thank God that

you're in a season of preparation.

I believe that when you recognize that, when you give

your best and then some that you're going to wreck the plans

of say, Dating in 2022. Every single time that you walk

in situation, it doesn't work out man.

Don't don't have self pity. Don't have self-doubt, don't

don't blame, don't point the finger, don't put the finger

yourself just every single time. Get back up and say, okay God,

I'm gonna do my best and then doesn't work out.

Just give your best every single day.

Some of you guys are season. You need to say this every

single day. I'm gonna do my best and then

some, it's one of you have my best.

That makes the biggest difference then.

Repeat, that day, 3 Day, 4 day, 5 day 6, you're in a season.

And when you're pouring out your season, the preparation.

And this is the endurance. This is the character that's

here to carry the weight of your calling in this season.

So let's hold you back today. What's stopping you from

following God, what's one thing that's holding you back?

What's God showing you in this season Philippians 3?

The read again says, brothers sisters.

I do not consider myself yet to have taken, hold of it.

But one thing I do, I forget what's behind me?

Now, I'm letting go of the past. I know where God wants me.

Isn't this direction it? It's this direction.

Eyestrain. I push.

I leaned in to what's ahead of me at Paul's, basically saying I

took the rear view off the rear off.

I took it off and I broke it to the ground because I press

toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me

heavenward in Christ. Jesus.

And so they, what declaration do you need to write?

What sentence do you put together for God?

What's one thing you say? Okay, I am strong.

I am forgiven. I am whole.

I am complete. I am loved.

I'm a Child of God. I'm not a victim of It's just, I

am a leader, I am creative, I am call, I am whole.

What word is God? Put in your heart today that you

needed to clear to yourself every single moment.

Every day that this is who you are because you're going to

break down Satan's strategy in this season.

And I encourage you to write it down.

foundation. If you're going to move forward
