Dependency - What and With Whom | Elder Terence Atkinson

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

We hope this message will light up your tea.

I have a word for you this morning, and I

hope it's something that's going to bless you even as

it blessed me in preparing it. And this word that

I'm going to share with you this morning is on dependency. Dependency.

I think the last time I shared with you, I

shared with you the mercive God. And this time I

want to share with you about dependency is what has

that got to do with that? All me know? Well,

you know I'm here to tell you that if you

do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and sevia, I'll

say it straight out. You need to know him because

he's the only one that loves you, and he died

for your sins to save you. And in spite of

maybe some bad examples that you see, it doesn't matter.

He's the good example you need to follow. But praise

the Lord that we are surrounded by good Christians, good

people here who are willing to disciple you and help

you to get to know Jesus even better. And God

wants us to know that there is a step to

maturity after you know him as personal lord and savior.

And what is a step of maturity, it's being dependent

on him. There was such a great testimony. Look, guys,

if you haven't thanked your mother's, go back home today

and thank them for what they did for you. If

you haven't thanked your father's, go back home and thank

him for what he's done for you. And this is

what I've done. I've done what you've done. You know,

after having kids, I realized I must have been a

rotten child. Seriously. First, you know, I just went to

my mom, say, Mom, you know, after I've seen my kids,

I must have been so terrible to you. Please forgive

me because I didn't understand the struggles you went through.

I understand them now. I did the same thing where

my dad was concerned. You see, when you grow older,

that's how you're supposed to get better in your relationships.

You mature your relationships. None of all this ioh, you

don't talk that way. That's all nonsense. You have it

in your power to get things done right. So what

is that got to do with today's word? Absolutely nothing

is just continuing from your testimony, Okay, praise the Lord.

Dependency what and with home in Isaiah forty thirty. Maybe

before I get to the scripture, let me just tell you.

I've told you before that when you you know what

the world is that now right, it's in a tough place.

And I've tell you, I've told you this before, and

every time I come here, I remind you that Jesus

Christ is coming again. Whether you are I believe it,

whether we don't believe it, it makes no difference the

fact of the matter. He said it, and because Jesus

said it, I believe it. I believe it because he

said it, and I know, yes, I know it's going

to see me through Jesus said it. Jesus said it.

He's coming again. He's coming in real soon. The scripture

says that two nations will rise up against God's people.

Who are God's people. God's people are God's people Israelites. Okay,

the two nations that will come up against him Gog

and Magog. Gog and Magog is actually spoken of in

the Book of Ezekiel. All right, and who is Gog?

Gog is Persia? Who is Persia Ira? Who is Magog?

Magog is Russia? Thousands of years ago God prophesied that

these nations would come against his people. And truly, what

did Russia do? Russia just told Israel if you retaliate

against Iran, and you retaliate, you go overboard. We will

come into the picture. Did you know that? Traditionally, why

should Russia support Iran? But you see now, because the

whole world is against Russia, Russia will get friends from

wherever they can get them. And who did they become

friends with? They became friends with China? And the Book

of Revelation says the kings of the East will march

towards is you know, And I thought to myself a

much and I just don't need The Lord just reveals

to me this morning, what do you mean they're gonna

walk all the way from China to Israel. March means

it again to the they have jeeps, their cars, they

are and they will travel. Doesn't mean that they were walk.

But the fact that the matter was is that John said,

and I heard the number, and the number was two

hundred million. What did President Jijin pengz? I think I'm

pronouncing his name right? He always have difficulty with the

with the z there with President.

J z Z?

What Jinping? Okay? He said at a moment to notice,

China can raise up an army of two hundred million.

They're the Red Kings of the East. Who else is

aligned with China? A surrogate of China? North Korea? What

did North Korea do send three thousand troops to fight

along side Russia with Ukraine? And Ukraine is coming against

euro You know that the world is in turmoil. Whether

you and I believe it or not. The fact of

the matter is Jesus is coming and he is coming

again soon. So what do we do? Do we fall

to pieces? Hey, you are not lego. You were never

meant to fall to pieces. There's always supposed to be

something better for you. And Okay, I'm gonna ask you

a few questions, and I want you to be honest. Okay,

the more honest you are, the better will be your solutions. Okay.

How many of you feel or believe that you are

burning out? Okay, say about two three heads? How many

of you have burnt out? One? Two? Okay, there's a

little bit more, Okay, there's a little bit more. How

many of you believe in this concept of burning out?

There's such a thing. How many of you believe there's

such a thing as burning out? How many of you

don't believe anything? You have to be one of the

other if you okay, how many of you don't believe

in burnout? Okay? One? Praise the Lord? I have one friend?

Can I tell you that there is no such thing

as burnout? It is a lie of the devil. It

is a trick to rob you of what God's will

in your life should be. And is I have? Now

when I use this word you, okay, when I'm going

to be using this word you a lot, please do

not think that I'm pointing fingers at you, okay, because

when I say you, I mean me also, all right?

You know how many have you heard that when you

pointed someone's three fingers always point beg you, so three

times pointing back at you. So when I use this

word you, please don't get offended. I am speaking about

me as well, all right. I want you to know

that this word, this word burn out. Actually you know

what is the real meaning. The real meaning is cop out.

You have copped out. When you say you've burnt out,

you know what you've just done. You have blamed everybody

else for your failure. True, isn't it? Ah? You had

a person work me so much. I cannot do this anymore.

Hire a church every day, meeting meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting.

I cannot do this anymore. I burnt out. And then

you pat yourself on the shoulder and you think you

said something great. Wow, you're so powerful. You worked until

you can work no more. No, that's a lie. You

know what you've done. You've removed yourself from the equation.

You have removed yourself from the fight. You've removed yourself

from the action. What is that. Let's called cop out.

You've copped out. You see, if you want to see

change in your life, tell the truth to yourself. So

now I explain, Okay, if I want to see truth

in my life, I have to tell the truth to myself.

So I say that to me three times because remember

so that I don't offend anybody down here. You've got

to understand, this world is at a stage where if

we don't get an act together, we're going to be

coping out under the guise of this lie called burnt out. Hey, guys,

better to feel like you're on fire on earth serving

the Lord than not to serve the Lord and be

in the fire when you meet him. Being in the

fire means Christler's eternity. Let's get an act together, Jesus

coming against Sue, and I'm here to share with you

and answer. I'm here to share with you a reasoning.

And you want to fight with it, go ahead. But

it's the word of God, So take it up with

the Lord. Okay, here's what it says Isaiah forty thirty one.

It says, but those that weigh upon the Lord, they

show what renew their strength. They shall mount up with

wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary.

They shall walk and not faint. You know, I love

this scripture in the Amplified Bible. You know what it

means to be amplified, to be amplified. Now, okay, the

Amplified Bible, what does it do? It takes your scripture,

and what does he do it amplifies? You can hear

me better. What does the amplified version say about those

who wait for the Lord, who expect, who look for

and hope in him? Guys, if you come for service

on a Sunday and you expect nothing, you will walk

away one hundred percent satisfied because you came in not

expecting anything and you got it. You walk out without

getting anything. Wasn't that one hundred percent of your expectation? Ha? Ha? Guys,

we got to realize if we think we're not expecting,

we're still getting what we don't expect. If you expect

to come on a Sunday and say, I got this problem, Lord,

I got this issue. I really need an answer, speak

to me. You have this expectation when you walk in here,

you're going to walk out with an answer. Guess what,

When you walk in here, you will walk out getting

your question answered. Why? Because God does not disappoint those

who expect him to answer. God expects you to expect

of him. Do you know that if you don't expect

from God? You know what you're telling God, I don't

believe you. Oh, when you don't believe God, of course

you're not going to get anything. But if you believe

God to answer little me, if you believe God can

answer somebody is rotten as me, he will answer. He

will answer you. See. God does not answer us because

we are good or we are rotten. You know why

He answers us because we believe his word. We believe

in him. When you believe in him. You know what

you're actually doing. You're worshiping the Lord because you're saying, God,

you are greater than I am. Oh, God loves that,

because you're saying, God, your word is greater than my thing,

my thoughts. I think I'm rotten, So you won't help me? No, no, no,

no no no. Because I trust your word. You will

help somebody even though I'm rotten. You will help me

even though I'm rotten. You know what God says, well done?

You see it like how I see it. Because you

think when Jesus died for us, we were great people.

When Jesus died for our sins, we were as rotten

as rotten could be. So if he could love us

when we were so destitute and rotten, how much more

will he love us when we trust in him and

believe in his word. Hey, let's be clear. This, let's

be clear was used to death during the US election.

When all the politicians were saying, let's be clear, they

were actually telling you, will you listen to my lie? Now?

Those who expect, look for him and hope in him

will gain new strength, gain new strength, and renew their power.

They will lift up their wings and rise up close

to God, like eagles rising towards the sun, they will

run and not be weary. They will walk and not

grow tired. You see, that's the amplified version. Doesn't it

sound great? Just reading it already? I think I can

sit down. No need to listen to the rest of

the message. You got it. But I have to do

what the Lord told me to do. I'm so sorry.

Actually I'm not sorry, Okay. Scripture says in Isaiah forty

twenty eight, he says, have you not known? And have

you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the creator

of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary.

His understanding is unsearchable. In order to understand verse thirty one,

you gotta undertand what happens before that? And what what

is God saying? God saying, have you not known? Have

you not heard? That? This God he never faints, he is,

he's never weary. His understanding is unsearchable. See. God allows

certain things to happen, and God allows certain things to

happen because his name is glorified. I've got his testimony.

I need to share with you. This happened recently, just

about a month back. You know, North Carolina was inundated

with floods. Right have you seen those videos? I mean

it was frightening whole houses. I'm talking not I'm not

talking a heart, Okay, I'm talking. Imagine a house with

four rooms, five rooms, the whole house like a house.

It's just plotting down the river. The rooms, everything in

it is floating down the river. Then it came across

a bridge. The bridge was low, and when the waters

took the house, the house crumbled like matchsticks. This just

happened about a month ago. And I want you to

listen to someone who depended on God. A seven year

old boy called out to Jesus to save him before

Hurricane Helene floodwaters carried him away earlier this week, Mick

Micah Dryer, that's his name, Micah Dryer. His lifeless body,

he died. His lifeless body was later found about a

quarter of a mile away from his home in Ashville,

North Carolina. But his mother thinks he was saved. Nonetheless,

So you say, ah, how can it be, But the

boy died. Right, Hey, there are things are greater than

what we see at play. And you listen to this.

It brought tears to my eyes. You know. I'm so

proud of my son because in his last moments, he

wasn't screaming for me. He was screaming, Jesus, Jesus, save me.

Seven years old. When you're I know, grown people run

into trouble. Mama, Papa, dad, mom, seven years old. What

was he crying? Jesus, Jesus save me. Then the mother

heard him shout, Jesus, I hear you. Just before he died,

he shouted the motherhood, Jesus, I hear you, Jesus, I'm

calling upon you. This is what the mother heard. How

heart wrenching is this? But look at the mom and

instead he is my hero because he reached for something

past flesh, past human, past anything that even grown adults

I think would reach for. My son called out to

the One God Almighty, and he was rescued. I shared

with you the testimony where I just told my friend,

if you run into trouble, called in the name of

Jesus and he will save you. He is a non believer,

But when he was on his yacht and he was

dying because something happened, he called out to Jesus and

Jesus came on the water. This is what he said,

Jesus came on the water and saved him. He got

to show he gave up all those riches to go

and serve the Lord full time because he was the

son of a multi millionaire. But he decided that's not important.

Money is not it. It's Jesus. I want to live

for his understanding, the scripture says, is unsearchable. Scripture says

he gives power to the weak and to those who

have no might. He increases strength. How many of us

feel weak? If weak, praise the Lord. You're in a

good place. You're in a good place to be weak.

I tell you, I wake up every morning aching from

head to toe. It is no fun growing old. You

ache in muscles you never knew you had. Back pain,

leg pain, toe pain, finger pain, every kind of issue.

You want to read newspapers, glasses? Where my glasses? Where

am I reading glasses? Then you want to go and

look distance? Where are my distance glasses? I you cannot

take the sun gives me headache, neat sunglasses, all kinds

of glasses you need. I mean, that's the thing about

growing older. You know it's no fun. But I'll tell

you this, it's a good place to be. Because I'm

forty and forty, I'm sixty three and I'm alive, and

Jesus gives me strength. You know how the Lord encourages me. Look,

I want to share with people, and I want to

see people come to the Lord. It's my My desire

is to do that. But you know how he encourages me.

He encourages me by the things that I do that

I know it's not me. Uh. I like to go

work walking early in the morning, four in the morning.

But how many of you know it's horrible taking keys

with you, you know, having keys to your house and

you're going walking and you want to concentrate on walking.

The keys poking your leg because it's in your pocket,

or you're you know, putting in the back. It's horrible.

So I asked Lord Lord, what do I do? He said,

put a smart lock? Smart lock? Okay, how smart is

the lot? So I told Elder, maybe I put smart lock.

He said, don't you touch my door. Don't you touch

my door. I have this nice glass door. It's a

big nine foot glass door. It's a big one. Don't

touch it. I like it just the way it is.

So I go back to the loss and lot you

see like my wife, it's okay. You all can get

what you want. To give you an idea. And I

actually saw in my head something. How many of you

have heard us of a drop bolt lock? Never heard

of it? Go and search it, drop boat lock. And

actually that's what picture came in my mind. And when

I reached I found it exists. You know what it does?

When you press the button and the boat goes up,

and then when you release the button, the bolt drops

and locks. Oh this is amazing. I can work with this.

So I researched it. I bought all the parts and

this deeper valley. I developed a new skill drilling and

attaching things to aluminium. And I did it with what

is known as a self drilling screw. Do you know

such things exist? The engineer knows. You put the screw

on the drill and it goes right in. No need

to drill whole. You just put the screw. Special type

of screw. It's called a self drilling screw. But it's

kind of scared to work on your nice glass aluminum door.

But I did it, and you know what, it worked.

It worked, And elder Mabele is happy because she can't

see it. It's hidden. So every morning, as I did

this morning, I go to my wall and I just

wave my hand and the door unlocks. I go out

for my walk. When I come back, I just put

my thumb print and the door unlocks. How cool is that? God?

So God gave me that idea, and God told me

how to do it, and he shared with me how

to do it. It's a new skill that I picked up.

You know what encouragement that gives me. The next time

I meet someone who says, why should I accept your Lord?

Why should I accept Jesus? I have encouraging encouragement in

my heart to tell them he can give you any

answer to any question that you can ask, because I've

seen it happen in my life. So I can speak

with conviction that God will come through. He gives power

to the weaken, to those who have no mindy what

he increases strength? Do you know that even the youths

in verse Thudy, even the youths shall feign and be weary,

and the young man shall utterly fall. So you think

that you can do it because you're younger. I may

not be able to run as fast as you are,

but my spirit has more mental stamina. I have more

spiritual stamina. I've been with the Lord now forty five years.

Have I burnt out? No? Sometimes the flame a little

bit dam but stuck a fire. I have not burnt out.

You know what scripture says scriptures is a bruise wicker,

he will not snuff out. That's in scripture meaning that

if you are a wick of a candle and your bruised,

that he will not stop the flame. In other words,

you will always be burning. Don't you ever believe this

thing about Bernard? You know when I was younger, when

I first became a Christian, first I believed in the Lord.

I went to study. How did I handle my studies?

Seven in the morning, sorry, six in the morning, Take

the school bus, Be there in school at seven thirty.

This was in Singapore. I was doing my eight I

was seven thirty. Be in school from seven thirty until

seven in the evening. School the whole day. Why Because

I was training the school team for tennis. I took

part in all kinds of competitions. Every reach back my

hostel at nine o'clock eight thirty nine, wash clothes, go

for dinner, do two hours of study, walk to church

twelve midnight. Yes, walk to church. Do what pray for

people who needed deliverance from evil spirits. I did that.

Then when I came back to Malaysia. You have one guitar,

this little amplifier, these speakers, yours, these speakers, Okay, Me

and one guy would go to church at six a m.

We would load up the church van with a whole band.

You know. The basement is a speaker, this high thistick,

this white okay. And then the amplifier weight heavier than

the speaker, if you can believe it. One jazz man

for the keyboard, one jazz chorus for the electric guitar,

the electric guitar, the bass guitar, the piano, the electric piano.

Not not this keyboard, electric piano, the roads okay uh,

the big speakers, the amplifier, all the speaker stands. Those days,

our hotels give you nothing, all right. The drum kit

which I used to play, I carry in a gunny sack.

All the hardware put in a gunny sack and carry

it up and take it all the way to Kre.

From Klang to Kre, the hotel would not allow us

to use the lift. We have to carry two of us,

carry all these things up by stairs, four floors, three floors,

four floors. Sometimes it was on third floor, sometimes on

the fourth floor. Set up, go through the service, take

everything down, load the van, go to church for a meeting,

go back to Clang, put everything back in the Clang

church and go home at two am. I did this

for ten years, and after when we got our own

place and the place was permanently set up, I was

still in the school, in the school, in the church

ministry team for another fifteen years until I moved to

some other things. I have now been serving in ex

church for fifteen years. Should I be tired? Should elder

mable be tired? Yeah, but we're not. Do you know why?

If we don't do it, who's going to? So we

step into the business. We we want to pastor past

the pastor Kenna. We'll do anything, you know, We'll even

sweep the church. And you no need to give us title,

he says. No. With the title comes anointing. So when

you are asked to become a leader, when you are

asked to be disciples, become a leader, understand this, it's

not the name. You are actually being called to an

anointing of the office of leader. God will help you, guys.

When I go and see the Lord. I would rather

be hot here and bothered here than go up and

meet the lorder and then after that have another kind

of heat. I don't want that. So even the younger

shall faint. So this is to show a difference between

those who are young and those who are renewed by

the Lord. So again, but those who wait on the

Lord shall renew their strength. They shall man up with

wings the eagles. They should run and not be weary.

They shall walk and not faint. I'm not saying all

these things to make it seem like I'm boasting. I'm

just letting you know that an ordinary person like me

can accomplish things through Him. And you guys, you all

are much much much smarter than I am, more skilled

than I will ever be. Truthfully, what can you accomplish

with God on your side? Oh, you have no idea.

It's tremendous. Your potential is exponential. But you got to

remember these few things. Scripture say, is but those but

those what does but those mean? But those means? Anybody

you qualify, You qualify to see this happen in you

you qualify anyone. Hey, God does not respect whether you

are rich, whether you're poor, whether you're smart, whether you're not,

whether you're blue collar, whether you're management. He is not interested.

What is he interested anyone? If you, then it's you.

That's what he's saying, anybody. For those that wait, what

is weight mean? Wait means to cover, eagerly, wait, expect, expect,

expectation of wait, hoping, look, eagerly look wait. It simply

means this. You got a problem, you come to church.

You're not interested to seek the Lord about it. You're

not interested to believe the Lord about it. Guess what

when you go back, you will gain everything. You believed nothing.

You believe nothing. You gained everything? What was your everything? Nothing? Hey, understand,

we gotta understand. We walk through that door seeking the

Lord for an answer, seeking the Lord for proposition to

help us with that issue. We walk through the door saying, God,

I need you to respond to me. I need you

to do this for me. And when you walk in,

some guy will come. He may be thinner than me,

maybe not so thin, but he will be just sharing

the word. And guess what you get your answer? Why?

Because you expected? Do you expect from me? No, who

are you expecting from God? Will God disappoint your Absolutely

not you expect from him? He will respond to you.

So when you went upon the Lord, this is not

an ordinary word. In scripture. This word lord is mentioned

about seven thousand times. It's the proper name for God,

meaning that the one who actually created you is going

to take an interest, a personal interest. How lovely is

that when you think, Ah, my friend can't be bothered

with me, Ah, my boss is not interested to look

at me. Who cares about them? Because the Lord of lords,

the King of kings, the one true living God, the

one who made you, made me, He's interested in you.

He shall do what he shall renew. You know that

the Lord will renew. You know what this word renew

means in inscripture. This word means is to pass on.

God passes on his strength to you. You know when

when when we leave this earth, we will pass things

on to our children. Okay, while we are on earth,

we pass them on our traits. God is passing you

his strength, The one who created the universe passes on

his strength to you. How strong you think you'll be?

Did you know that? So he passes on or he

passes away. That means passed away from him on to you.

He gives what is his from him on to you

to change or be changed. It's to gain news, to

move past or over your problem. You will move past

or over your problem. That's what Scripture is saying in

Isaiah forty thirty one. Did you ever realize that, you say,

God is giving you a handle of how to take

yourself through during this time. So when you share Jesus

with somebody, you're not just sharing a word or an idea.

You're sharing a solution. You shall renew what your strength.

This comes from the word coach. And let me explain

to you. You shall renew your strength. You know what

your strength is. Your strength is a little teacher on

the world. Yeah, you know that's what this word means.

This word means little lizard, little lizard like a geckoler.

You know. So you and I you know what we are.

We are geckos. We're little lizards. I tell you, I

got my little dog. You know what my little dog

does every night, goes hunting for lizards, which we don't

like because we don't like it to dirty its mouth,

all right, But lizards no strength so scripture says, what

kind or strength will we have? We are the lizards.

Let me tell you what kind of strength you get?

Number one, let's talk about human strength. When scripture is

talking about one of the meanings of this is human strength.

We're talking about the strength of Samson. Wow, you and

I Samson? Can you imagine or not? Samson pushed down

the pillars? The building came down? Samson. How about this

ability and efficiency? How many of you want to be

efficient here? Oh? That's good? How many do you want

to have ability? Here? There you go. That's what the

scripture means. Usually renew your strength, your strength. The word

strength actually means your ability in your efficiency. The power

of people. You know, people power. People power removed Marcos

from presidency in Philippines. How many do you even know

who Marcus is? Can you see hens? I don't blame

you because most of us, most of you were not born,

or if you were born, you were little kids. But

in the eighties there was the people removed a dictator

called Marcos from the Philippines. People power. And then this

is the exciting one. It is a power conferred. My

spelling there is wrong. It's F E R R ed

not F F E R D. Okay, conferred by God?

What is a con When you're conferred a title makes

you something special? Right? When God confers his power on you,

don't you think there's somebody special? Whenever you hit a

brick wall, and I got to tell you at your

work or your studies, if you hit all your relationships,

you hit a brick wall. Wait in the Lord. Then

this strength is also much more than human. He's talking

about the strength of angels. Strength of angels. Our angels strong. Well,

the angels rolled away the stone. Michael took out Satan

on his fall, the angel Gabriel. I think, yeah, Angel Gabriel,

so you don't believe my word? You will keep quiet

and not speak when he told Zacharya, so you better

believe the angels got power? Okay, but the power of God. Oh,

I talked about that. Just now. What about the power

of animals? Do you know that you will be imbued

with the power of animals? Animals, lowly creatures. Let's consider

the end. Even scripture talks about considering the ways of

the end. Let me tell you something about the ant.

Let's talk ratio here, which is the strongest animal? Do

you know that the title of the strongest animal would

probably go to the end. Do you know why the

ant can carry six times its own body weight? It

can bench press h you always see the bench bench

pressing one when they carrying the food six times its

body weight. That is me being able to put to

carry a one thousand, two hundred pounds and mind you

and the and just doesn't lift it and lifts it

and walks all the way from wherever it finds the

food all the way to the nest. Can you imagine

lifting one hundred pounds and walking? Strength of animals the

strength of a lion. Here we're talking about the strength

of an ego, the strength of animals, because how many

of you know a gorilla could probably repew apart. So

animals are strong. So it's it's talking about levels of

strength that's beyond you. And the strength of the soil

one of the strongest things which we don't pay attention

to the strength of the soil. Strength that soil actually

is talking about economy, you know, because the strength of

the soil causes produced to come forth. When you got

good soil, you get more produced, so you can be productive.

You shall mount up, you shall renew your strength, you

shall mount up. You know why you mount up? You

mount up because you went down. If you don't go down,

you don't need to mount upward. And a lot of

us the pressure to go down is a lot stronger.

Am I speaking to people who believe that, who experience

that the strength pushing us down to go down is

much stronger. But I want you to know that the

Bible says you will mount up with what wings like eagles?

Do you realize that the eagle half of its body

weight is the muscle that drives its wings. So can

you mention if half my body weight was just muscle

and my arms? Oh, I'd be pretty pretty enormous. I mean,

imagine this whole one muscle come up here, be quite astounding.

So the thing is this, wings like eagles. Do you

know how strong an eagle is? If you go through

National geography or whatever, you can actually research this. The

eagle is so strong it can come down and carry

off cheats and fly away cheat. I know, cheet does

a huge cat. This is what the Lord is telling us,

we will mount up with wings like eagles. It also

says that the first auto of business is we fly

when you come to the lord. When you weigh upon

the lord. What's the first auto of business? The first action?

The first action is you fly. We always learn we

gotta crawl, then we gonna walk. Let me run. No,

God starts off with flying first. God wants you to

know with me. You fly. That's the normal stance. That's

the normal action is you fly. The next action only

is run. So he starts with fly. Then if you

can't fly, it's okay, you can run. Bible says you

should run. You know what this run is? The run

is like the marathons. You know, you know those days

a long time ago there was no email. You mean

such a time actually existed. Yes, there was a time

when there was no social media. Some of you are thinking,

cannot be yes. So you know when they run, pass

the message. They pass it to this guy. This guy

will run run, run, run, run, run twenty kilometers three

kilomeenis pass it to the next guy, run twenty If

those guys were live today, trust me, they will be

winning all the Olympic medals because they were powerful. The

other kind of running is you know what horses, horses

and majestic animals, when they run fast, strong, they were

designed to run. You know the horses be designed to

run him. I'm not mistaken. I read that their muscles

are church that it does not does not make lactic

acid as much as humans do. You know why we

get pains and all the lactic acid building up in

the legs. But horses are knowledge. Horses can run fast

for a long time. So Scripture is saying we will

run like them. What does it say? We shall run

and not be? You can be sure that when God

is in the picture, you will you cannot be. You

will never be. Most assuredly, you will unable to be.

You will be incapable of being. This last word, importent

is directed at men. You know men do not like

to be impotent. If you don't know what this word means,

looking up the dictionary it will help you understand. And

you will not be weary. You cannot be weary. You

will be unable to be. Can you imagine you will

be unable to be tired? That's what scripture is saying,

and I'm not saying it. These are what all these

words mean. Okay, will you will not be exhausted? So

if I am to believe you or believe the word

who do you think I would believe when we say

I'm burnt out? What scriptures saying I will never be tired?

Who am I to believe? I believe the word. And

I want you to know. If you can't run the

last movement, the least movement, you will at least be

able to walk. You will become greater, brighter. It means

that there is a continually something happening in your life.

You will be you will always be positively moving. All right,

you will be marching march you know, it's a brisk walk,

marching down. And then you got the other kindness, the strut.

You know, strut is like you hums up, yeah, ok,

yeahru its. It's like a dance and a walk kind

of thing. Why because God is on your side, you

will walk and the Bible says you won't faint. You

won't faint. You know what's faint fain is you stop?

You know, there are many Christian fainted people here, no,

not here, but in the world, there are many Christian

fainted people. These are people who are not walking, not running,

not flying. They fainted. But Scripture says you're not becoming exhausted,

You're not become weary, You're not will you will not faint.

You will not faint. So I want you to know

that in these last days, when work is difficult, when

family life gets challenging, when finances become a problem, when

things don't always work as easily as we hope for

them to work, I want you to know that God

is on your side and you have a solution. You

know what is that solution? Wait on the Lord, trust

in him, Know that he will never fail you. Do

you know I consider myself a wretched person whom the

Lord loves and saved, and because I believe that He

will help me. You know what he always does. You

think God has come to help those who are good.

Let me let you in on a little secret. None

of us are good, not one, not a single one.

I'm amazed I managed to bend down. There is no

not one of us that are good. So let's throw

that out the window. You know why God helps us

because we trust him. That's the only qualification, the only

qualification he needs. To believe him. In screen, I'm just

gonna run through this fast now. Probably sixteen three says

commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will

be established. You see. That's why when he tells me

I do this lot, do this this way, this way,

they say that's a thought, right, you know, I never

write it down. I start doing it when I can

see the whole picture in my head. Then I just

comby the things and I'll do it as I see it.

I never write anything down, you know why, because he

establishes my thoughts. I commit my way to low. I

never want to tell him I'm good to do that.

I'm smart, I'm intelligent, you know. I want to keep

the ideas coming. If I say, oh, this is my idea,

then guess what it'll stop. So I give him the

glory Lord, thank you for this idea. I know it

can only come from you, because you gave me the idea.

I'm gonna get it done. I'm going to get it done.

Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will

be established in one bit of ice says it, casting

all your cares on him, for he cares for you,

casting all, casting all. You got a problem, The Bible says,

you throw it at Jesus. You know, you don't come

and give it like we're wrapping like that, like it's

something precious. It is not precious. Your problem is not precious.

You know what your problem is. Your problem is something

to be thrown away. The bad things in your life

is something to be thrown away, thrown awhere. Throw it

at Jesus, and you know what He knows what to

do with it, casting all your cares on him, for

he cares for you. In Psalms thirty seventy five, it says,

commit your way to the Lord, trust also in him,

and he shall bring it to pass every day, every

day without faar, Say, Lord, give me ideas. Lord, give

me ideas. And Pastor Stephen, will I test some of

my ideas a little bit weird? But it will I

do strange things in your office, you know, because I'm

trying to improve things. Those ideas come from the Lord.

They're always there because I believe him to give me

those ideas, and he does. What's your issue, man, Hey, studies?

I studied two hours a day. I was the head

prefect of my school, the first Malaysian heat prefect, by

the way. And I was also the first head prefect

in my school to pass my exam, not just pass,

but do well. So I made the curve. What was

the difference Jesus. Jesus, Jesus was the difference. There's a

lesson that I learned forty five years ago and it

is carried through until today. Commit your way to the Lord,

trustfuls in him, and he will bring it to pass.

And this is what you use. Man, if you're a student,

you can be a top student. This is where you

get that from. Okay. Philippians four six evens is being

anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication

with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will

guard your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus. What

problem do you have that the Lord cannot resolve? What

issue do you have that he cannot resolve? He can

resolve and everything, So don't worry about it. Don't worry

about it. But in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Supplication

prayer is asking, supplication is making known why all right.

Thanksgiving is knowing and thanking him for how he's always

helped you in that kind of an atmosphere. Bring it

to the Lord and He's going to continue to help.

Matthew six thirty three says, but seeking first, the Kingdom

of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall

be added. Unto you, guys, we're living in a time

where we need God to help us, and he has

just let you know he's there. He's just let you

know He is there to help. You have all the

resources you need to make it work, and nothing can

take that away from you. So if you don't, if

you've forgotten everything that I've said this morning, just realize,

just remember one thing that He will not leave you unattended.

He'll give you the strength, he will give you the

help that you need.
