Can "Bad" Changes Be Good | Elder Terence Atkinson

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

will light up your day. It is a message on change. Can bad

change be good? Can bad change be good? How many of you know

that there is a consistent consistency in life and this consistency is called change.

Whether you and I like it or not, change occurs every second of every

day. One second is pasted. Do you know you've changed? Yourselves?

Have become one second different than they were one second ago. So we know

that there's one thing that does not change, and that is change. The

question is is that change good or is that change bad? You know,

we should always be living in a situation or in a lifestyle of victory.

We should always be living in a position of having to see God come through

in our lives each and in every moment of every day. But the reality

is do we see that all the time? You know? I love the

fact that there is one element, one thing, one person that does not

change, and that is God. The Bible says in Hebrews chapter thirteen,

verse eight, that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.

And I also love this one numbers twenty three nineteen. God is not a

man that he should lie, nor a son of man that he should repent?

Has he said and will he not do? Or has he spoken?

And will he not make it good? You know why this is very important

to us. You see, if everything changes, it's fine, But the

one thing that must never change is God. God must never change. If

God was one who changed, we're in big trouble. Can you imagine a

situation whereby every night the stars in the sky changed their position. Do you

realize that if the stars in the night sky changed their position daily ships would

get lost? Do you realize that if the north pole and the South pole

were to change direction on a daily basis, We're in big trouble. There

will be no GPS, no Google maps, no whats happened? And we'll

have to rely on those horrible books that we used to have in the eighties,

those maps that you know you have to actually study one hour, two

hours just to make sure you get to the right place. But you see,

God has made certain things unchangeable to speak of his nature, because God's

nature is unchangeable. And that's where we can draw a lot of strength and

a lot of direction and a lot of positivity. Moving forward in this life

that changes every day because our situations don't always remain good. And I think

this is what the Lord wants to encourage you with this morning, to give

you some idea about why things that are good change for the bad. And

we may see it as change for the bad, but God never sees it

that way. God has a better plan. God has a different direction,

something we don't quite see. So it's really really important for us to realize

that it is so good that God does not change. You know, when

when God said that, you know, he would that every man come to

know him as personal Lord and savior. M Okay, I'm sorry, I'm

not going to repeat everything. Okay, whoever is doing it gonna push it

up, okay. But it's very very important that that that that we see

God as one who doesn't change. So Eve says that, you know,

for God to love the world that he gave his only begot concern that whosoever

believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Do you know that

word is as true today as as true today as it was that when he

said it in scripture so long ago, Because you see, he doesn't change.

Can you imagine if he changed according to the side of the bed he

woke up. How many of us have had bosses that way? One day

there are so good and the next day they are like a demon from health.

True, not have any of your experience that I have. And you

know what, we as the subordinates, we learn how to interpret our bosses

true not Yeah, like checking the weather, we come to officer, we

look at the face. Then colleagues will come and so how is it today?

I say, today, if you're going, you will not get what

you want. Then some other days you come in and say you go to

ask him for anything, he will give it to you. Now, who's

the time go? So we interpret our bosses that way. But you see

God is not interpreted that way. God is only interpreted by his word,

which does not change. And that to us is a strength. So I

want to give you some examples, and I hope that we can glean something

from these examples. The first one that I'm going to share with is Paul

and Silasts. Okay, reading from Acts sixteen, verses sixteen to thirty two.

Now I'm not going to read all the verses. I'll read some of

them night happened that as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl

possessed with the spirit of divination met us and brought us, brought him who

brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. Hey, I want you to

know something. Can the enemy can the devil? Can his demons tell the

future? How many of you say yes? Okay? How many of you

say no? How many we just don't know? Okay? There is only

one. There's only one that knows the future. That is God. Okay,

there's only one. So how is it that the devil gives you the

impression that he can and tell the future? And why do you think God

hates that? Do you know that God hates that? God hates it?

When you go to a fortune tell it? Do you know that it's to

him as the spirit of rebellion and divination? Witchcraft? That's that's what it

is. Let me break it down for you. When the enemy tells a

fortune, he's actually lying to you. He's setting you up. He's making

you think that he has told a fortune, you know, told the future.

But actually what he's done is he set the tone for the future.

For example, so he will come up and his guy will say the next

person that walks through that door is going to trip fall and hit his head

on the chair. And you think, wow, yes, ah. But

what you don't know is he spoke to one of his servants to tie a

little string on the chair and at the time me give the signal, pull

the string. So the next person that walks through the door, the person

fell. And then after everybody looks and says, wow, he knows the

future. What was that? It was a lie. In the modern way,

it's called sting. Have you seen those shows where they use the word

sting. It is meant to trap somebody, to give them a certain idea

and trap them. You know, God is not about manipulation. God does

not manipulate you. He says something, you either believe it or you don't.

He doesn't play around with you. He doesn't manipulate you to do what

he wants. He just says it. You have a choice do it or

don't do it. So when you have someone going to a fortune teller,

do not believe it for an instant that it is a future event. It

is a setup meant to entrap those who are weak minded, who don't understand,

and then take their mind off a true God. So now this girl

followed Paul and us and cried out saying, these men are servants of the

Most High God, who proclaimed to us the way of salvation. And this

she did for many days. Isn't it? I think I shared this before,

and I hope you remember. Isn't it strange that she was actually telling

the truth in this instance? These are the men of God who are speaking

the ways of truth, the ways to God. But do you know that

sometimes when the enemy tells you something that's true, he doesn't tell it in

a nice way. You know, it could have been in an awful voice,

like God, how come to you the One of God with us?

You try getting that kind of voice for a few days. See you don't

get irritated. Do you think it was told in a nice stone? There

came a point of time where Paul got fed up and he said, come

out in Jesus name, and that spirit left. Why did Paul take a

long time? Well, I don't know. I just tell you a testimony.

You're right. A couple of weeks ago, A few weeks ago,

I was sharing in h XS PJ. And I had a cough that just

would not go away, and as I was speaking the Word of God.

I couldn't speak two words without breaking into a coughing binge. Now this had

been actually going on for one for about a week or ten days, and

it was in XPG that I got so fed up and I said, I

command you, cough in the name of Jesus. Get out. You will

not hinder the people of God from hearing the word. Then I continued sharing

this, I said aloud. It was out of anger in the Lord,

frustration in the Lord. You know, you can't be angry in the Lord.

But you have to direct your response the correct way and at the correct

in a correct manner. So I took authority in a commodity to go in

the name of Jesus. And I didn't realize, but after the message everyone

came and said from that moment there was no cough, and said, oh,

yeah, that's true. Well, praise the Lord. Then I asked

myself, why did I take so long? I don't know. I give

you another testimony. So I went to take a shower about three weeks ago,

and I slipped and I fell. And this is the kind of fall

where your hands are of no use, you know, that kind of fall

way there's no way you can break your fall. Your fall breaks you.

That kind of all ah, that kind of fall. So I fell,

but praise the Lord, my head missed the wall, my body missed the

glass wall. And then when I lay on the floor, I listened to

myself and say, God, am I okay? I say, looks,

I said, my body is all right. I don't think anything's broken.

I got up. Then I told elder people, you know, I had

a fat She said, I didn't hear. I said, there there's a

lot of petting. Good good advantage. But actually I was hurt because it

hurt me to sit down and get up really bad. You know. I

would struggle to sit down and struggle to get up because the base of my

backbone, I think, is where it took the brunt. So this went

on for about a week and I was irritated. And then the Lord reminded

me, Hey, what's the matter with you? Don't you remember the cough?

And I say, hey, yeah, God, that's true. What's

the matter with me? I command your pain in the name of Jesus go

and immediately left and I was fine. So what did I take some time?

I don't know. But sometimes you and I we do take time to

take authority of certain things. But never mind. Let the Lord build up

your faith during that time, and when the time is right, let it

go. Let that fate loose, and you will see great things happen.

So I want to tell you why this testimony is of significance is because I

shared this testimony in ex clang and one of the ladies came up to me

and says, you know, that's such a blessing because yesterday my good friend,

who is a top entrepreneur, she slipped and she fell in the shower.

She hit her head and the doctor said she will need assistance for the

rest of her life. Does God make a difference? You better believe it.

And when they had late, what happened is Paul and Silas commanded the

demon to come out. The people got angry because their economy was affected.

They had Paul in Silence beaten and thrown into prison. They had Paul in

Silence beaten and really thrashed and thrown into prison. And when they had laid

many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to

keep them securely. I want you to know how did Paul and Silas plan

change. Do you know what the scripture said, they went up to pray.

That's in verse sixty nine. Happened as we went to prayer. That

was the purpose. The purpose was to pray. But you know it changed

because on the way to being to going to pray, they were thrashed and

thrown into prison. Well isn't that a bad change? You know, how

most of us would have responded? Honestly, I think I would have responded

the same way as I'm about to tell you what's the matter with you?

God? I mean, can you protect me? I was going to pray,

you know, and see out of you know, I'm standing up because

this is a demon. And I commanded the demon to go. And what

did he get me? Come? Me? Thrashed and thrown into prison?

I mean, didn't you not say I was supposed to have the abundant life?

What abundant life is this? I see rats crawling everywhere, There's no

toilet, They're all peeing on the walls. It's terrible, Lord, what's

the matter? True or not? Okay? The truth? How many of

you would have responded the same way? Hey, I want to see the

showhands on okay, okay, the rest of us, Oh yeah, it's

all right, right, it's all right, it's okay. Now, having

received such a charge, the prisoner put them in the inner prison and fasten

their feets with stocks. But at midnight, Paul and Silas were doing what

praying and singing psalms to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

I want you to know that Paul and Silas did not change their focus.

Hey, do circumstance dictate your focus. If you allow your circumstance to dictate

your focus, you will never see the great miracles that God has planned for

you, Because the best miracles happen when your focus is not determined by your

circumstance. Why is it important? The scripture says that the prisoners were listening

to them, you know, as they prayed, the prison was shaken,

you know, shaken, and all their chains fell off, and the doors

were open, and everybody ran away. Nobody's responding, No, nobody ran

away. The Bible says, they all remained, They all stayed there.

Isn't it amazing? If you were a prisoner in stocks in a place that

had no internet, they had no way to photograph you and then the chains

fell off and the doors fell open, and you ran away to a different

town. Nobody would know who you are. You'd be free. Why did

they not run? They did not run because Paul and Silas did not change

their focus. In spite of something going bad, something good was, something

good had taken place, and something better was about to take place. The

prisoners were listening to them. The prisoners were convicted. Now they were not

convicts. They were convicted, convicted of who Jesus Christ being their lord and

their savior. And the fact that they didn't run away tells me, you

know what? They were free? Can you imagine that they did not run

because they were free. They were free in their spirits, They were free

of their past, they were free of the wrongdoings, that they were now

justified before the Lord, their God. And it didn't matter whether they were

in a prison, It didn't matter whether they were in chains. They were

free. It didn't matter so much so that when the chains fell off,

they didn't feel the urge nor the need to run. The best miracles can

happen in the darkest places. And why did it happen? Because bad change

can be good if you do not change your focus didn't end it. So

now it's in verse twenty seven and the keeper of the prisoner, awakening from

sleep and seeing that the prison doors were open, supposing that the prisoners had

fled, Drewy's sword and was about to kill himself, but Paul called out

with a loud voice, saying, do not harm yourself. For what we

are all here. Paul was having a homes meeting. There was a homes

gathering going on in the prison at that time, and a great miracle took

place. Nobody saw the need to run. How would Paul know that they

were all there because salvation had come into their hearts and he knew it.

How do you know? Because now why did the why did the warden ask

this question? What must I do to be saved? What a question?

You know? He could have said, why are you still here? You

should have run. He could have said, you know, what makes you

different that you're still here? But the question that he asked himself was what

must I do to be saved? So obviously Paul in silence did not change

their focus. And they were witnessing in the prison as well. All right,

So then they say, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you and

your household will be saved Verse thirty two. And they spoke the word of

the law to him and to all who were in his house. When we

don't allow bad change to affect our focus, the miracle keeps going on and

on and on. It's not one thing. It is a process. So

those of us who are leading churches, those of us who are leading homes

groups, those of us who are sharing with other people. It is an

ongoing miracle. It's an ongoing miracle. They purposed to pray, things took

a bad turn. They were beaten and sent to prison. What did they

do? They remained focused. They prayed, and they worshiped, and miracles

happen in dark places. Prisoners listened, the people listened. When we stay

focused, people will listen to you when you stay focused, when you worship,

when you preach, when you share with them about Jesus Christ. If

you waver in their focus, they will not believe you, because they are

used to people in the world who whoo whose focus was one day, Say

this next day, say that you remain firm. They will see something in

you that they want to follow. Salvation occurred. We are all here even

those that harm you get saved. Even that terrible boss that is making your

life a living hell can and will say it plans change purpose. Did not?

Are you ready? For example number two? Okay, let's shift to

Gideon. So, Gideon, are we reading from Judges seven, Verses four

to seven. So now in verse four, the Lord said to Gideon,

the people are still too many, too many. Bring them down to the

water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be

that those of whom I say to you, this one shall go with you,

the same shall go with you. And of whom I say to you,

this one shall not go with you, the same shall not go with

you. So verse five, he brought the people down to the water,

and the Lord said to Gideon, everyone who laps from the water with his

tongue as a dog lapsed, you shall set apart by himself. Likewise,

those who get down on his knees to drink verse six. And the number

of those who lapped, putting their hand to the mouth, for three hundred

men, and all the rest of the people got down on their knees to

drink water. Then the Lord said to Gideon, by the three hundred men

who lapped eye shall save you and deliver the deliver the Midian knights into your

hands. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.

Why did the Lord cut down an army of thirty thousand to three hundred thirty

thousand to three hundred. The answer is verse too. The Lord said to

Gideon, the people who are with you are too many for me to give

the Midia knights into your hands. Less Israel claim glory for itself against me,

saying my own hand has saved me. So what do we learn about

this? Let me explain this to you, all right? So the first

group of twenty twenty thousand left because he said, okay, those of you

got fear and your hearts go back home. Twenty thousand left. God wants

to use those that fear him and not others. He could not use those

that feared the army and not him, so he let them go. So

sometimes you ask yourself, why do some people be? Why are some people

able to do somethings and some people are not? Whom do they fear?

Whom do they fear? The Bible says the fear of God is the beginning

of wisdom. Thank God that ten thousand of them feared the Lord and did

not fear the people. But even the ten thousand that feared the Lord,

God said, still too many, still too many. So now he says,

take them to the water and watch how they drink. Those that kneel

and drink like you know, they kneel, they cut their hands and they

brought it to their mouth, and they drank. Were three hundred seven hundred

got down on all fours and drank water without taking it up to their hands,

you know, by their hands to the mouth. This speaks to me

that God wants to use people who know who they are in him. Okay,

if you drink like someone who doesn't know his position, which is all

going on all fours and drinking, how can God use you? Because you're

not alert, you're not watchful, you don't know your position in the Lord.

Do you know? It's very important for us to know who we are

in the Lord. We're not some animal that the enemy can take advantage of

at his women fancy. We are children of the most High God. Know

your position. When you know your position, you'll be able to say,

get out of me, your pain, and you be gone right now,

in the name of Jesus, and it goes, did I need somebody to

pray for me? I'm not saying that getting somebody to pray for you is

wrong, but you see, I know my position in the Lord, and

I know what the word says. And when the time is there and I

use the word, it works for me because not every time I'm going to

be having someone around me that I can ask to pray for me. Now,

I could wait until a Sunday, but why go through so many days

of pain? You know, when I have to preach in a XPJ the

prayer time had passed, So wait one more week and no then that the

people came to hear the world the word of God, not hear me cough.

You see. So it's no brainer to me. I know where the

cough came from. It certainly was not from God. So it was easy

to get rid of because in the name of Jesus, nothing will stop the

word of God from going forth. So now we had these three hundred people

who understood who they were. I am a man in the Lord's army,

and when I drink, I'm always alert, I'm watching out. I'm ready.

God wants people who are watching and ready don't be caught in a slumber.

The other thing you learned from this is sometimes we are too prepared,

even if we are doing the Lord's work. You know, you can be

too prepared. You can plan God out of the equation. You can have

such a great plan that God doesn't need to show up. Everything is so

fine plan. God doesn't need to show up. There's God want that of

us. God does not want that of us. God always wants us to

plan him into the main equation. We can change our needs, but God

remains the same. We need to put our He just needs us to trust

him and not in our plans or our backup plans plan A, B,

C, D, E, F, and G. I tell you I

made this mistake. Okay, at the beginning of the year, Elder Mabel

and me and thinks so well, so well my retirement, made a big

deal about it. In November, all things were planned. He was so

well planned. I made a terrible mistake of not planning God into the equation.

And for me, after being so long in the Lord, there is

no way God will not act straight away. Okay, I have less grace

in this area because I should know better. Those who don't know better,

got more grace. Do you know that it's true? If you know better,

you got less grace because after being in the Lord for some time,

he has trained you. He expects you to behave in a certain way.

So we plan God out of the equation, and God actually put roadblocks.

He put roadblocks to us, and didn't we didn't realize that He was shifting

me towards full time industry. And you know, when I went into full

time ministry, I know that's where he wants me to be. So you

see, if I had gone to him and you know, plan together with

him, he would have said, okay, you go and do this,

and I'm going to be taking care of other things for you. That's just

the way it happened. Do not plan God out of the equation. You

can plan everything so well, but if you don't really leave room for God,

you're asking for trouble. The journey to the Answer teaches us to observe

and see how God sees. Gideon needed to see how God saw and what

did God see. I don't need a lot of people. I just need

you to believe me. And that's the lesson that Gideon to observe. Do

not fear if God is with you. If you fear return, don't go

to battle. If you fear fear God, don't fear what's ahead of you.

And the other thing is, no, you're calling, No, you're

calling. I'm not called to be an animal. I'm called to be a

child of God. Child of God. Doesn't mean I go and lord it

over somebody else. Because what did Jesus do? He washed his disciples feet?

Who was he? The son of God? He gave us an example.

Are you ready for the third example? The third example is Jesus himself.

Wow, Jesus himself. I think this one you're gonna like. This

is from Luke eight, verses forty to fifty six, reading from first No,

I'm reading from verse forty one. And behold, there came a man

named Jerius, and he was the rule of the synagogue. And he fell

down to Jesus feet and begged him to come to his house, for he

had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, about twelve years of

age, and she was dying. And you know what, Jesus said,

Okay, I'm on it. I'm on my way. I'm coming. Don't

worry, it's fine. So the man came to Jesus, and Jesus said,

I'm with you. It's all taken care of. Okay. Then we

come to verse forty three. Now a woman having a flow of blood twelve

years, for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood and physicians and

could not be healed by any came from behind and touched the border of his

garment, and immediately a flow of blood stopped. And in verse forty six,

but Jesus said, somebody has touched me. For I perceived power going

out from me. And of course the disciples ask, how can you everybody's

touching you. Jesus says Jesus saying, no, you don't understand. There's

a difference. And he said to her daughter, be a good cheer.

Your faith has made you well. Go in peace. I want you to

know something about the Lord. You know that Jesus is wired in a way

that faith automatically gets him to react. He's wired in you. Just imagine

the Lord was walking and everybody was touching him. He didn't straight away say

you touched me, Oh, you touch me. He didn't say that.

He asked who touched you know why? Because he is like a battery that

just responds to faith, and the moment there's faith, he has wired himself.

He has made it so that faith will cause things to happen. And

that's really a great advantage to us if we realize that that's how Jesus responds

to faith, that even someone can touch him and get a response without him

even realizing it. It tells us that He's in control of our our lives,

and we are exercising faith, and we can see things happen in our

lives daily. But I want you to know that this was all in God's

plan. Do you know why? He was on his way to heal Jerius's

daughter, And as he was going, this woman touched him and caused him

to stop in his tracks and her dress her go. Your faith has healed

you. You'll be made well, all right. And while he was doing

this verse forty nine, while he was still speaking, someone came from the

ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, your daughter is dead.

Do not trouble the teacher. Did you ever ask this question? The woman

had the flow of blood flour twelve years? And how was the child about

twelve years? Could it be that all this was in God's plan to teach

us about faith, to teach us about Jesus, so that we would praise

the Lord. It's no coincidence. God doesn't work in coincidences. Because while

he was still speaking, she died, and Jesus said, when Jesus heard

it, he said, do not be afraid, only believe she will be

made well. And in verse fifty four, when he reached it, he

put them all outside, took her by their and saying, little girl,

arise. I always have the fun with this voice, because I don't think

Jesus speaks like I speak, and he's got such a nice voice. Again,

and then the spirit returned and she arose immediately, and he commanded her

to give something to eat. Even with Jesus, the plan change. Do

you realize, you know? And again it was a good plan that he

was going to save the child, but the plan changed and the girl died.

It happened even with Jesus. But I want you to know that Jesus

did something that gives us encouragement. He did not change his purpose. He

purposed to go and heal this girl, and the fact of her death did

not change his purpose. Us. Nothing is at an end until Jesus says

so. So if you think something has not happened and it's done, it's

finished. No, it's never over til Jesus says it is. I want

you to know that sometimes Jesus and all the answers seem delayed. True not

we pray and we don't get an answer and it seems to be delayed.

Right, I want to give you an answer that's gonna bless your heart.

Do you know that Jesus, as he is on his way to you,

is responding to somebody else's faith? Because as you bring Jesus closer to you

through your faith, that anointing is reaching out to others and it is seeing

results. You must never stop exercising faith because as you exercise faith for God

to do something in your life. Guess what. As Jesus is making his

way to answer your prayer, that presence and the anointing is beginning to move

and work with everybody else around you. Did you know that when we can

realize that because Jesus wants to answer us, it took some time because people

along the way are getting touched by him. Praise the Lord. You've been

responsible for something good happening. Why do you think Jesus says, Why do

you think the Bible says, when you raise the name of Jesus, he

draws all men unto him. You had to do something first. But as

you begin to draw, as you begin to praise the name of Jesus,

and as the Anointing approaches you, as the Anointing comes close to you,

as the Anointing comes to give you your answer, others are being touched.

I'm reminded of this singer. His name is Keith Green. How many of

you have ever heard of him or you have praise the Lord. He's one

of my favorite singers. I have all his records which they sent me from

the States. He was a person that lived his life like Jesus. He

wanted to be as close to Jesus as he possibly could. And he was

so radical in his way of thinking and what he used to do. And

he was probably one of the best musicians ever. He was inducted into ASCAP,

which is the Musician Songwriting Artists Association, at the age of eight.

That's how good he was. Here's a prodigy again. He's a prodigy.

And when he wrote his songs, he told his ministry and his wife,

We will not sell it. We will give it to whoever wants it.

Because there was a ministry anointing on the songs. Do you know that the

songs would be playing on radio or playing in houses, and people as they

walk by just got down on their knees and gave their life to the Lord.

Such was the anointing on that music. Why was that, you see?

Because there is something to the fact that when we are connected with the

Lord in a way that God answers, are prayers, that aura, that

anointing, that that that presence that is constantly and our lives are coming towards

to give us our answer affects other people as well. Affects other people as

well. So when that happens, you realize there's no real reason for us

to complain if the seeming answer to our prayer is delayed. Now you know

the answer. Why just going that faith knowing that Jesus is presently responding to

somebody's faith along his way to you. Did you ever think that because Jesus

is on his way to you, others will see him respond to him and

get their blessing because you have drawn him towards you. Wow, delay is

never a reason to fear. Delay has never reason to fear. Jesus always

has the last word because truth triumphs over fact. Every time truth triumphs over

fact. The fact of the matter is I hurt my back, that's the

fact. The truth is I'm healed in Jesus's name. That's the truth.

And when the time was needed, the truth triumphed over the fact. I

Ah, I know God loves me and wants me to be around because I

have fallen so many times, and you know I've shared these testimonies with you.

I've fallen so many times and God has always protected me. I mean,

I've fallen from ladders again without the hands being able to block my fall,

and my head will be just be between two metal cabinets or a toilet

and a box, and I there's just one foot in my head lens just

in between, and I'm falling backwards and I've got nothing to hold, so

I fall from the ladder down like that. I've been hit by motorcycle at

full speed and I got up and I walked home. You know this is

God, this is God looking after me. And you know, as long

as I remember that God is the one who's looking after me. He will

continue look after me like maybe I'm a little bit excellent Prona, so he's

got to keep a little bit extra watch with me. I praised the Lord

for that, you know, I'm aware of it. I thank God for

it. I realize got nothing to do with me. I'm no ninja.

Okay, I didn't twist my body. No, I'm not a ninja.

I'm padded, but I'm not a ninja, you know. So I want

to encourage you, guys that if ever you see something changing for the bad,

don't worry about it. It's going to be okay. It's going to

be okay because as long as you do not change your focus, you keep

to what you're doing in the Lord, as long as you remember you if

you need to fear someone, you fear the Lord. And as long as

you can remember that somebody is getting touched because Jesus is on his way to

you and that anointing is flowing, you'll be okay. Guys. With that,

I'll answer the question, can a bad change be good? You better

believe it. You better believe it because we only have good things happening to

us, even if it seems bad. No, no, no, no,

do not receive it, do not accept it, because remember the truth

triumphs over facts. And what does the scripture say? God has come to

give us life and give it to us more abundant lee. So keep your

joy level up and then your strength will always be there. We hope you've

been blessed by this message. For more information on our church, please visit
