God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble | Elder Wong Kien Yiak

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

The title my message got a refugement, our strength and

a very present help in trouble. You agree with that, right,

But do we really know how it works in times

of trouble? Do we really know how it works? For example,

all of us here who actually who owns a car?

Who we will have cond insurance? That correct? You have

kind insurance and every kind insurance? Is this, if I'm not wrong?

Does provide towing services for the first hung kilometer? I

can't remember a hungry kilometer. But do we really know

how it works? The process behind it, the process behind it,

although it's stated we roughly know. But by the time

you actually get involved and you're needing needing a toll truck,

it works a bit differently. Because we expect help by

the very first phone. God, they will cut within what

twenty minutes except theble right, sometimes you might take a

minimum of an hour to an hour and a half,

especially if you're in one of those busy roads like

Federal Highway, which one wrong turn will take another forty

five minutes to make a youth turn to come back

to your place. Right? So do we really know how

God works in terms of trouble. I'm proba the first

to understand because although we say he's a refushed and

I was trying present help in trouble, but sometimes we

can forget how it works. All right, So if you're

a Bible would with you? Would you turn to First King,

chapter nineteen, First King, chapter nineteen. Right, Amen, here we go.

So Ahap got home. He told Jeszebel, the wife, everything

Elijah had done, including the way he killed all the

profits about worse two, Jezebel send this message to Elijah.

May the God strike me and even kill me by

this time tomorrow, I have not killed you, just as

if you kill them. Friends, it happens the king. Jezabel

is a wife the queen. But the queen has such

vengeance against Elijah. Say, you know, I will go after you.

I will come after you. I will I want your

life after all you did to my prophets about the

word street. Elijah was afraid. Friends. I'm not sure about

you guys, but you know, but Jezebel has such reputation.

Sometimes the reputation really goes before us, right, and sometimes

with the people we meet, the people we meet, the

people we know, right strikes fear in our hearts. What

will you do to me? You know, if I were

to put my life in your hands, you know, I'll

be so afraid. And this is why I put to

was a faith and fled for his life. He went

from Bashebat in the town of Judah. He left his

servants there that he went alone with the realness, traveling

all day, he sat down under the solitary boom tree,

prayed that he might die. Elia got to place where,

by the words of Jezebel got him so drained. Drain, drain.

You know, sometimes in our life, if we don't charge

our handphone, the battery dies. If we don't recharge ourself,

our even our own capacity will run out. Experiencing the

gym yesterday, I was telling my wife, I was like, Wow,

I just can't wait to get home. It's like you're starting.

You can't you can't go anywhere. I just had to

follow the traffic, you know, just stuff like that. And

worse still is that heavy rain. Then all of a

sudden the way say that there's accident in front of

you out from nowhere. Uh, things happen right, it drains you.

Things happen, it drains you. But the I think is

that we are not immune to things that drain us.

But the question is that do we even get ourselves recharged?

Do we even recharge ourselves after we are drained? Because

even our phone, you see, the battery goes up to

ten percent, we immediately put it in to the socket

and just get it recharged. So Elijah, the Bible says,

he ran for his life forgetting to recharge in the Lord.

Verse five, he laid down under the tree by he

was sleeping. The angel touch him and told him get

up and eat. Verse six, He looked around. There beside

his head was some great big on hot stone and

the jar of water. He ate and drank and laid

down the gate. Then the Angel of the Lord came

to him and touch him and say, get up. It's

some more and the journey I hit will be too

much for you. So he got up it and drank.

The food gave him enough strength to travel for forty

days and forty nights to Mount Sign and the mountain

of God. So Elijah's name is Yahweh is God, all right,

So you must understand that he's being reminded on the

daily basis when people call his name that Yahweh is God.

So there's one thing about us who are believers who

understand and knows that who is God friends in our mind,

But I were experiencing him in our life, translating from

hate knowledge to heart felt knowledge, translating from all that

we know in our hair, the principles, the theories and

everything like that to actually knowing what to do in

midst of problems and trials and challenges. So Elijah is

a Manx who experienced the supernatural of God. First King,

Chapter seventeen. He drank from the book Brooks. The raven

fed him. He experienced a reader who honored him with

the last oil and fly. She experienced the widow experienced

supernatural provisions. So he's the man that the word is like.

He knows, he understand. You have seen the supernatural ticket

have taken place. The job of oil will not run dry, right,

the flower can never run dry. So he saw that. Frands,

he goes on in the First King scept eighteen, the

victory at Mount Carmel. Right, his conviction was right. Every

the juice you this day, who you serve, Frands, you

have to be truly convinced to tell people that choose

who you serve, because if you're not convinced, we will

not share it. If you're not fully convinced, you will

share it. Neither are we fully convinced that this job

that we have. We will tell people that come and

join my company. Come join my company. I'm truly convinced

when you join my company or your future is secure.

We uh, we are not fully convinced. You are not

fully certain, and that's why we very seldom say things

like that, accept serving the lalla right. We very seldom

tell people that join me unless you're certain. But enlightened

were so certain, He tells he will tell people that

choose you who you serve. If Bao is God serving him,

by is God serve him? Right? He experienced God's confirmation

through the fire that forth on the author that he

built amazing fit miraculous, caught the fire of God from

heaven and the fire fell, Frands. We caught anything up

in heaven is nothing felt, except for maybe it does

neighbor burning stuff right very seldom, and recall on heaven

things for except maybe one one or twice. We ask God,

God give us a car part right in front of

the entrance of the shopping mall. God came to for

us and stuff like that. I think how many of

us really caught on God for firing fire come down?

I'm camping, Lord, I forgot to bring what I really

need to start the fire. Right, we can do it

for half an hour. I can guarantee you no fire

will come down with friends. If you've ever been camping before, friends,

you know how important fire is really. Without fire, nothing

tastes nice. I went on a camping trip before when

I was young, brought the wrong stuff. There was no fire.

Had to eat my Maggie me raw, Kayla, you are

in the campsite. Really, you just eat a right lunching meat.

Just eat it raw. It's cann of friends, it's cook ready, friends,

It's okay what you I survived, Me and my friends survived. Ah,

and to do smoother things out. It's lunching me together

with kaya sweet and sweet and salty at the same time.

It works. Okay. But again, because you're in the environment, friends,

you got no choice. You know, you know, you know

what I mean. Beggars can be choosers, all right, So

you just just consumer. But if I just saw fire,

if I just saw fire, friends, you would think that

a man who experience and call upon God would never

be afraid. So if you just experience, for example, God

one time in your life, you just or maybe just

maybe it's just by chance. But chapter seventeen and chapter eighties,

so Elijah experiencing God supernaturally, you thought that this is

still things in this heart, that no matter what changes

come before him, he's just going to say, my God

shall defend me, my God shall provide for me, my

God shall see me. True. But the Bible says Elijah

ran for his life. So what can we learn from

the life of Elijah? The point number one is that

whyever we are going to no matter what challenges you're

going to, it's not over until God says. So very

important for you and me to understand this, although it's

very simple, this statement. But when you are in the

midst of that challenge, we think it's the end. When

you're in the midst of the circumstances, you think it's over.

When your midst of the trials or the circumstances, we

think it's really old. Because this is what God wants

you to experience. Past success in ministry or life or

even our titles doesn't examples from future challenges come on.

Just because Elijah had victory in chapter seventeen and chapter

eighteen when he meets a character called Bell, doesn't mean

that he's exempted. It's not one of those monopoly carts

you take go and collect too, hunger you pass go

or get up from jail cart or something like that. Friends,

doesn't mean that just because we experience it in our past,

that we're exempted, right, exempted, friends, No such thing. Just

because that you know we have good health doesn't mean

future when we eat the roast port, we're exempted from

the calories and the backlash. Show splain and simple, at

least you understand, right. Doesn't mean that I have coliques. Name,

I have coliques who will pop one of those cholesterol

pills of blotiner pills. Right, but his diet is still

the same. She wagged the inners. He'll finish. My wife's

doesn't eat vs KFC fried chicken skin. She will take

it out and she put it aside. There will be

with some coliques of mine who look at my wife's

split and said, how does she lay? Don't waste? They

are hungry people in the world. There and out comes

the fock and spoon and they'll take the fright skin

onto the plate that my wife, But this is bad

for health. It's okay, I'm on the cholesterol peel. It's

all right, I'm on blood tiness. Therefore I am exempted.

I'm not sure how many sometimes we think that just

because that we got this, like you know, supernatural cape

or armor or something, that we're exempted from trials and challenges.

So Elijah thought and thing his life was thought that

his life was the only solution. And sometimes we thought

that by sleeping. How may you know that by sleeping

the recommend remedy for every pain in our body. To

sleep on you wake up, ok to fake the sleep

on you wake up, ok hitting the sleep you wake

up okay, And we'll tell that to everyone. By sleeping right,

you wake up all right. But friends, I'm not sure

how many experienced before, but I've come to conclusion that

sleeping does we charge your body, but doesn't take away

the challenges. Sleeping does recharge your body, but doesn't take

away the challenges. So therefore, let you talk about ennying

his life. It's the only solution. That he could think

of to resolve or setter. The pressure was going to

And that's what pressure does. Cause you to think that

this is the only way to find a solution, the

only way out, the only way of escape. But sometimes, friends,

the devil wants us to be in this place whereby

we think that this is the only way out. Sat

down with you know, I was just reflecting twenty twenty five.

The first day in my mind was interesting characters you

have met this year? Interesting characters you have met this year? Right,

I'm not sure many interesting characters you have met, But

I met my line of work, I've met so many

interesting people. So a few days ago, a few weeks ago,

I met someone who's a side, who's senior, who's senior,

telling me about his time growing up working and you know,

he would just tell me this that, you know, if ever,

if ever, right I get government contracts, I tell you

what government contracts I want to get. So I was

listening to him, I'm like, whoa, he was so interesting

you actually thought about trying to get government contract Yeah,

you know, I mean the he used to be in

the government, civilizen women and stuff like that. This is

back in the fifties, sixties and seventies, and it would

just sharing me regarding this if I get contract you know,

I know how to get contracts and award being investigated.

I realize you are so interesting. We just met like

twenty minutes ago. Yes, sharing with you know how to

get especially branch to call you, not I tell you

what to do. Okay, you go to this place there

three times a week. Guarantee you next week they'll call

you in for a cup of tea something. Listening to

some of this interesting character right and looking at him,

I'm like, God, like, you know, is that is that

what people do think about? Like how just how to

get contracts? Hey tell me that, you know it's it's

you know sometimes in life where he will say that

there's so many things that a person go to that

the only way and the only solution, the only way

and only solution is to do things this way, if

you understand, trying to say to do things in the

certain way to get things done. And sometimes environment causes

us to think it that way. So as I look

at him and he would just I would just say, well,

I say, I work full time. I don't think I'll

ever tend for a government project. If I even if

I do, I don't. I don't know what to do

as well. I'm the people business here. I marry people

and I mary people. Yes, and it's true. I agree

with you what I say. I agree. One thing that

you said is not what you know about who you know.

You know people in the government. I know people are

in heaven. So it works both ways. But sometimes trands,

you can come to a place whereby you know, by

the only way is this way. The only way is

this way? Right. But the Bible says Genesee, chapter fifty,

verse twenty. But as for you, what you meant, you

were against me, but got many for good. But as

for you, what you meant, you were against me, but

God meant it for good in order to bring about

us this day to save many people alive. Friends, Sometimes

when things happen, we think that this is the only way,

and and and you never know how God moves. So

about a month ago about me and past Sarah were

sitting down with somebody, sitting down sitting down with someone

and we're just talking about the particular thing that we

want to do next year with little legends and just sharing.

And as we were talking about it and she got

little just looking for a new place to get to

expend to get it bigger. Uh. We were just asking

this guy and he came all the way here, say that, actually,

do you want to meet you? Guys? We're like, what

a way to start a negotiation. I don't want to

meet with you guys. You know, it's like, I can't

ask any of my stuff to meet you about. I

don't know why I come. I'm like, I also do

I want to tell him that I also to do

know why. I'm not past why you asked me come here?

But anyway see that, you know, I thought, I'm just

gonna show you what we have to offer, and you know,

you guys just list it and this stuff like that.

But as we were just talking about what we do,

I just started sharing with him about church and ministry,

about the lives we have impacted and changed, because that's

all we have friends. We don't celebrate buildings, we don't

celebrate bank account we celebrate lives that's turn around and change.

So it's just started showing with him about you know,

different ones that that that's been turned around. Our our school,

Weectory Academy was not released at this school to be

like in a private school. But somehow or rather what

got around. Parents calls, calls, curses up and just say

my child's on the spectrum, could you take him in

and stuff like that. So we do take it one

to two, not on the major spectrum, but some of

them just difficulty sitting down and turn them around. We

have people who left our school, went to another school,

came back and just said the parents say this I

finally found and understand why your school is so special.

I went to another Christian school, my son a bullet

all the way. They said that, can we go back

to Victory Academy. I just said there, this is an amazement,

not because anything else. So anyway, just check with this

with this potential person for what I just thought about

half an hour. Conversation took about two hours. He said

that by the time we ended the thing, he just

said this. No. I thought, I'm just going to come

here and least a place to you all. But what

you guys are doing it is so amazing, and I

want to arrange my bosses to meet with your boss

you're and talk about future collaboration. Being a company that

was never known to be charitable, and difort. There's never

known to be charitable. We know this company for almost

twenty or years, never known to be charitable. Say in

front of her, just say that if we have this

arm right now, would you want to consider that? You

know Mila always taking advantage of every opportunity there is.

I say, hey, next day we are running an autism conference.

Can we use your space because I would like it

in white people who came. So this year we had

autism conference with Passa Alvin. They had booth different booths

that open up. I say, we would like to get

this booth to come here because it's a public space.

A public space is if much because it was a name,

but it's a space next to that as DMC or

something like that as DMC Subangjaya with the lick and

the stuff like that. I say, hey, could we run

this space or not? And we want to just tell

people what we do and just share with people because

people are looking for hopeing are looking for opportunity and

sharing him about Timmy's or autism ministry and how Japanese

mom got to know about us. I think she stays

somewhere in kl who's willing to drive all the way

to share Alam for therapy and the latest video from

the mom who's backing Japan for during the holidays. Right now,

the sun never wanted to do anything or other couldn't

be left alone right now at least could manage to

be alone, play with our hand's hand, coldination for coldination everything.

And the people who who was part of Timan ministry,

it was just so amazed and just just showing him

and say that they say that we could work somedre

for next year. But what I'm trying to say here

is is that sometimes in life and you think that

there is no other opportunity, and I want to let

you know that God is the one who's in control,

who's really in control of everything went first. So one

of the things you and I need to know is

this that sometimes when God shows up leads the way. Friends,

when even the this scripture by what you meant for evil,

God can many for good. It doesn't happen immediately, It

doesn't happen right now. It doesn't happen just because if

you open your Bible or let you read some tree.

But I won't let you know that it's not over

until God says so, because God is the one who's

in control in this right perfect timing, you open that

door for you in the right timing. Here, you open

that door for you to walk in in amen. Point

number two is this I will escape. Okay, we knew

your strength. I'm sorry, I have the job all right,

we knew your strength. Now we understand this scripture. We

thought we knewing Our strength is basically sleep well, well

and stuff like that. But let's let me show you

from the Bible. The Angel of the Low provided kicks

that was big over hot coat and the jar of water. Now,

I'm not sure how many of us here really look

forward for kicks with water. Play water? What you think

about it? Okay? For those of us who freaking cafe,

really we know, Okay, all the deserts we just asked

ice water because the juices are expensive, we understand. Okay,

But what I'm trying to say is that even with

this solution by the law of friends, it sounds very simple.

No friends, kick over a jar of water is not

something that's now perfect Humbo. Kick over a hot cup

of tea whose your soul better? Still? Kick over single

origin coffee bean even better? All right? But as I

look into this scripture, and I realize that sometimes we

say we complicate things when it comes to renewing our strength. Okay,

I'm going to say this, okay because I will see

you until next year. So when you talk about renewing

your strength, my thick is this that some things that's

occupying your heart drains you. One for example, if someone

has wrong you, someone has wrong you for example, right,

that individual occupies a space in your heart. So whenever

you see the person, it drains you. What is evil? Personal? Right?

This badflu right, It drains you cause you to go

over time with your top process, thinking that if only

I can so not just get even inflicts some emotional

damage to the other individual. You feel satisfied because of

what you went through. Now, so the event could occupy

a space in your heart. The individual called occupy a

space in your heart. Even the statement a statement could

really fuse up your mind and drains you. One. I

know of a mom I'm going to share this. I

know of a mom who constantly tells me her daughter

is not good enough. My daughter, Ah, yeah, she's so rough,

she is so rough. I said, no, I think she's

okay with Yeah, nobody wants so one right, No, rough,

nobody wants her. I even though she I you keep

saying she's good, but there's so much other better people

than her. Wow, I'm looking at her. I'm like, no,

wonder the outcome, the child up bringing outcome, the way

she sees herself that way them of course, my wife,

who will never experience any of this statement growing up here.

I don't understand why parents say that that looked at her,

I say, I grew up. You can't see my environment

very similar environment mom, just negative reinforcement to upbringing a child.

But the occupies drains you. You want to get even,

you want to show, You want to tell people that

how I'll say, uh, that you can overcome. But a

lot of times we'll talk about renewing strength. We thinking about, like,

I want to fix this. I want to exta why

won't show you from the Bible of friends, Sometimes renewing

of our strength comes from forgiveness. Forgiveness because when you

acceists forgiveness, what happens you let go of the individual

person who's living rent free right now in your life.

The Bible says, honor your father and your mother, and

you shall have long life. You know the scripture in

the ten commandments. But many times people want the long life,

but we do not know how to honor. You see

the correlationships. So we want to renew our strength. We

want to renew our strength. Yet we don't know what's right.

We thought we renew our strengths putting powder right, maybe

wenew our strengths. I don't know. I don't know what

you guys take these days, but you understand, right, broccoli

and chicken breast. I do know what we knew. Your

strength is strengths. But oh, I just noticed that from

the Bible. It's just a bit different hot cakes and

the jar of water. It can be that simple, and

sometimes because it's so simple, we all we miss the brickthrough.

We miss the brick through yesterday. Some people who are

expert traveling up north and down south, you know when

to use the smartlane, do not know when to use smartling.

For me, who's not as African traveler going up north

or down south, I don't even know when to use

the smart lane. Smiling busy just means that sometimes some

power of the emergency line can be used. Right. So

I was there just observing the signees. Do I so tempted,

so tempted to use this. Yeah, the same thing. I

see motorcyclists who who decided to be extra helpful by

hunting cast to talent, get out of the smart lane

because this is their lid, which I also to myself,

if there's your line, then I need you come to

the main room then. Anyway, while they're on the smart lane, tempted,

I saw the signists can go. But yet at the

same time I see motorcyclist haunting asking the cars to

get off from the emergency lane. I knew for a

fact if I get onto it, if a motorcyclist or

the honey, my horn will be out as well. I'm

saying this is because it takes a lot of energy,

come on a lot of energy right to focus in

so that the environment doesn't get to you. But we

knewing your strength. Just mean to say that, just allow

God to bring you to if he asks you to.

If it speaks to you, reminds you to forgive, you forgive,

if it leads you to the person you need to

speak to, You speak to the individual you Many times

you want things our own way, and that's why we're

hard to renew your strength, very hard to renew your strength,

you know, next year. And it was three that this

Chinese school, right, So I let you know, I let

you know what the Puster Stevens said. I have looked

about maybe about ten revenues. Really, I knock upon every

Chinese school I could find, really, I know. I went

on Google. Look at the hall, look at the car parks.

Hall is nice, snow car park. There was all nice hall.

I think somebody to conventions. Pretty decent, pretty good, but

you have to park at the roadside. And they said

don't They realized that to help you, But back in

my mind was just thinking that no, can't. Their mom's

going to bring their kids on the highway, I mean

on the main road, safety and stuff like that. So no, right,

I went through a colorablest slang Chinese assembly hall. Nice venue,

very nice. I talked about if people to take a

picture here, looks like Shamhai banda that bit because it's old.

It's old. But I went into the toilets. Friends, I

couldn't imagine one thousand, two hundred, three hundred people squeezing

into the ladies. Nika six Cubeker. I got someone with me, okay,

I didn't go inside that six qubeka. The guys on

there are two kbickers and a school kind of like

you know, the stillless state Una. I'm playing with myself.

No right, I read knocking on this outside of the

passa we have don't have a space that. I decided

maybe men of faith exercise faith? Right, she called? So

I decided to maybe up the antique, maybe called back

the venue to say you're a church. Maybe the person

who's in church is a Christian. I call my Jestic hotel,

my Jestic Hotel. I said, hey, would you ran out

to a church or not? Would you like who you

ran out to a church? Because they run out for you?

Which you ran out of the church and this stuff like that.

See here we do we do? Right? They came back, Oh,

it's only about hungred and zero eight k one hung

one Hungred eight thousand only on Sunday. I showed this

to Passard. I say, this is dreads. I just couldn't

but to laugh. I was really running off of options.

It doesn't let you know. So when I called the

Chinese Disconscient High school, say I can't confirm until much

later because that can make years out yet and stuff

like that, and the price point was pretty good. Of course,

people say, hey, why not consider Midlands again? Midlands of

place we have Christmas considered that again. Okay. To be honest,

I'm not a very big friend of the place. It

wasn't me which was it? Okay, I'm not a very

big fan of the place. Number one it is because

by the time you finished you series, I don't know

where to eat. I know, but good day incline. I

understand that. But there's some of us here who don't

think so much park right. Number one. Number two is

that public translation is very hard. It's like having the

errty station there but not not working. I just couldn't.

Number three. Number three, it's just that the step that

goes up when you come the time right, the step

that goes up, it's like running up the staircase like that.

I can mention themselves older people having challenges. So I

was just thinking about all this. I was like, no,

I say, lord, I like the school I do. I

like I like Country High School because they can food

is pretty good. I went in there, had the tract

fund there my school days. We picked cash. They said,

I'm clear, you are to pay with touch and go

the big cut credit cud cash. I read like my

mind got my mind got like my school, I said

to cash options for the kids. Right. But anyway, so

when there, so I decided to go with a different strategy.

I just want to let you know, Actually Christmas, we're

supposed they have heavy a quantroentized school. One supposed to,

but the cancer on Earth they had another event on right,

So we went to Midlands. Then later after we comforted

with Midlands, they say that it's available. I went like

we comfort one side. Really but anyway, anyway I'm trying

to say is that we went there, I saw you

and I decided to deploy a different strategy. See we

knew you're sure you must learn how I decided to

bring my wife because I know it was me dealing

with our school. When you're write I would I will

be drained. So my wife is very different. She knows

how to handle some of this individual this lady will

dealing wish. She's quite funky, a single mother of one.

But she has the cut hair when you know, basically

something you don't know what under cut, this skin all

the way here all right, really funky and this stuff

like very modern, very funky and this stuff like that.

So you have to be someone who's equally funky that

I brought my wife right, my wife, I just I

just told her that you she was my wife. You

just have to tire my hair on me. I said,

you tie your hair. You just talk to Okay, I

got the clothes. Okay. Any shows that they started talking

exchange beach hat. Then after that she full up chased

after her. She said, okay, you give me one movie

to confirmed. Then my wife said no, cannot. I got

to know by tomorrow because I got to confront let

them people know. Okay, I'll let you know that. Sure enough,

we got We got the hall. It was long, que friends,

I want to let you know. If I don't confirm

this early, the cues very long. You cannot like three

months in the once. It's like close friends for this part,

like renewing your strength sometimes, doesn't mean that we always

go through things our own way, you know, very different.

I don't have to have to explained properly. But I

found in my past twenty five years or doing church

doesn't mean that just because we have all the knowledge,

it's Earth that will see a break through. God will

lead you to someone puts you a name on your heart.

Bring this in to with you along. You must know

that when God does that, he wants to ensure the

thing come to pass. As I close, friends, my last

finding point is this renewing your mind. This is so

key and so important. My last point. Okay, just give

me ten ten more minutes. Renewing your mind is so important.

First of all, it's not a one to God say

so seconds you got. You must have strength. Find that

this part is that renew your mind because whatever it is. Friends,

Let's say, for example, if John Chung and myself okay,

your friends, Okay? If Jo Joe says something offended me,

your friends. If I don't renew my mind a friends,

every time I see him, I will see enemy number

one here I see said somewhere else right, renewing your mind,

say that God will bring you into presence with your enemy.

He puts a table in front of you. If my

mind is not renew friends, come on, isn't it true

that you you don't even want to sit in the

presence of your enemy? See God? Ultimately forget the glory,

but you need to be the condu You need to

be the channel. Sometimes renewing your mind looks like, just

hold back, don't say so much. It's all right, you say.

The wedding I have conduct was so challenging because how

free true the garbage truck came. It was so loud.

I say so sorry, guys, I know in the midst

of the wedding wells right now, But I just stop

because otherwise you can't hear the groom and the bride

saying anything because the garbage truck is coming by. That

everyone everyone was looking at the garbage truck faster faster, like,

but see, if you don't renew our mind, friends, what happens?

You get angry? Come on? Is any truth? So Elijah

as like close friends. Elijah even though even though Elijah,

even though I'm not going with this slights reading, even

though his strength was renewed, if he didn't renew his mind,

if he didn't renew his mind, he'll still awake Jezabel.

If he did he re knew his mind, he won't

carry on with the Lord. That's like close friends. Don't

end this year without renewing your mind. Don't end this

year without allowing God to bring you to no matter

how painful. Sometimes some experience can be. Don't end this

year without God telling you that maybe some of us

here just need to let go of certain things of

the past. The fear that experience, friends, fear is very real.

It erubts you, It is hijacked your emotions, It hijacks

your mind. Every time you travel, fear accompanies you in

your travel. I'm not sure where you are with your

life right now. Just want to pray for all of

us at the end of the service. I presume always

here a Christian, but I won't pray for all of

us here. Don't end this year without allowing God to

bring you, just reminding you that it's not all until

you say so. He brought this church really different seasons

right now, she's going into a twin sixties already. We

have raised up so many people right now, me and Pascadia.

Enough fifties, so I mean my fifties. He's in the

pease when he was playing, when he was playing, like

I say, you want your your golder. We have seen,

we have seen, we have seen a few cycles of

people raised up in our church. Now they're moms and dads,

amazing moms and dads of the house. Right But we

also saw younger people, younger people, younger people in our mids,

coming eighteen and seventeen and stuff like that. I look

at those age I went like, I can't remember I was.

We're seventeen and eighteen. That's like close friends. It doesn't

mean that just because we grow older, that that our

life is going to be like that. So we have

to allow God. It's not to God says, so, It's

not over until God says so. Even though someone our parents,

not over until God says so, like, can't serve anymore's hard,

not with kids, does not want to? God says, so, right,

we knew our strength. Friends, Come on, renew our strength

before this year ends. We learn how to renew your strength.

If there's some of us here has certain emotions that

that's being hijacked by fear, by trouble, renew your strength.

Most time strengths. Computers don't drain us. Equipment don't drain us.

Is people that drains us. And people always have to

deal with the identity of our hearts. Let go forgive,

move on, trust the Lord He'll provide for you. Finally,

renew your mind. Friends, don't start the year with the

same mindset. Really just allow God knows proach Chapter two

say sik wisdom, pursue wisdom, seek the Lord, and he's

the one that opens the door for you.
