  1. You're listening to a message to go from a church. We hope this message

  2. will light up your day. This morning. I want to share with us

  3. something that the Lords been ministering to me. It's something It's called do not

  4. be afraid or do not doubt, but only believe. We come to church

  5. for the longest of time, and I do believe after a while we can

  6. The world is that we can grow tired. I'm so not used to this

  7. huge poop in front of me, but you know we can grow tired.

  8. The world is that we can go still. We can grow. Like you

  9. know, like just coming to church, I'm just doing a religious duty.

  10. I am just giving to the offering. And you know after Sunday, after

  11. church, after lunch, the best thing to do after church is to sleep

  12. because you know, after a food days, it's something there's something about Sunday's

  13. uh sleep wretch, which really always look forward to. And there has to

  14. be more than that is coming to church or going to sell group of homes.

  15. In our faith, in our journey, we must the worst experience the

  16. fitfulness of God in our life. You and I need to experience God's faithfulness,

  17. God's goodness, not just in our workplaces. But really that's why the

  18. lot pushes us to come to a place whereby either we really believe in Him

  19. or we don't. For example, starting a church, right, it's now

  20. easy, and sometimes the desire for people is to start the church. But

  21. really the process of starting a church is not just or fantastic to seve another

  22. church, but it's really a step of faith. Really when you go out

  23. there the first day already the first service is always very good one because always

  24. packed, the chess are packed, be very excited. You see the numbers.

  25. Yeah, week two a week tree is the real start of the church

  26. whereby all the glamor or the bullows all died really and or deflated. And

  27. the real tennis really starts everek two. And that's where you need to have

  28. faith. The word is to believe. How many of you know that without

  29. expecting something from a lord, nothing will happen. The Bible says that Jesus

  30. couldn't do anything in his village because people just see Jesus as another person in

  31. his hometown. So if that's our approach and our so excuse it by any

  32. tude as well. And that's why sometimes it's their own journey of life or

  33. own journey of faith. Right, it's still and it's mundane only because we

  34. don't expect anything. So I pray that today you open your heart, just

  35. allow me to share what the Lord has its staff all of us. Okay,

  36. luke Chapter eight look, chapter avers for the one. Look Chapter avers

  37. for the one. So it was when Jesus returned that the multitude welcome him,

  38. for they were waiting for him. The question is is that, friends,

  39. the Bible here says that multitude was waiting for Jesus. They welcome him.

  40. But you know that in the Bible that it wasn't the mutuitude that experienced

  41. the supernatural of God. Because many times we come to church, right,

  42. we just come to church and when there is no stretching of our faith,

  43. meaning to say that when there is no expression of our faith, we can't

  44. just go back empty. And that's why when Jesus was arrested, the multitudes

  45. left Christ because there was no personal relationship, there was no journey together with

  46. Christ. So I pray that today that you that you will see that it's

  47. important for us not to be the multitude because they came to a place they

  48. were waiting for Jesus. It was for you want and behold that came a

  49. man called Gyros. He was the ruler of Synaga. He fell down at

  50. Jesus begging him to come to his house. Friends. Either today we can

  51. be the multitudes, or we can be like Gyrus. I truly believe all

  52. of us here have a personal challenge your own life one right. It could

  53. be your studies. You could be finances. It could be a job.

  54. It could be a family. It could be a future. It could be

  55. about retirement. It could be what do I do with the rest of my

  56. life. All verse here are at the crossroad of our lives. We could

  57. be like multitude. Just the words I'm just waiting for Christ. I'm just

  58. waiting here. You welcome him, then that's it. There has to be

  59. more friends. I was talking to someone that they so allow me to share.

  60. When I do share things about different people, I'm not referring to anyone

  61. for xpandom a praist to lahallelujah. Right, So rest as sure, Okay,

  62. I don't I don't meet with you personally, all right, But I

  63. was talking to somebody and you know, and you know there are singing guys

  64. and single girls in our church, right, Well, the merry one,

  65. the one to say yes, or the single I just remaining silent. Come

  66. on, you have to emit where you allah there, then you can find

  67. all. Right. So I was talking to someone that did and say,

  68. we were concert about this brother, and they say that, yellah, he

  69. likes a particular person, but he's not making a move. How are you

  70. right? You okay say a yeah, right right? It's like worse forty

  71. one. The multitudes are waiting for Jesus to come, and when Jesus came,

  72. there was no engagement. See why I'm mean, it's like this guy

  73. that there are a lot he likes a particular person, and every one of

  74. the streats who have courage go us out us. His reply was, well,

  75. she made need to make the first move to oh running west, your

  76. wife knock in the room. That's why I understand. Okay, Restley's wife

  77. is not here? Right? This sides that, yeah, come on,

  78. man, but there's too many times we are like the multitude as well,

  79. isn't it? I mean we can come to church and then the word is

  80. that. You know what stops us really from engaging Christ? Sometimes it is

  81. pride. Pride pritking there, all right, pritinging that I'm okay. The

  82. way is, I'm all right, I'm all right. I don't have any

  83. problems. I have sufficient in my bank account, I have this, I

  84. have dead But how many of you know Gyris? When Gyros came to Christ,

  85. it was a situation where even the money that Gyris has could not even

  86. heal his daughter. That you and I will come to a place. God,

  87. bring us to a place where by whatever resources we have could not deal

  88. with the issue or the problem, because the problem can only be resolved to

  89. Christ's intervention. So I pray that you allow God to just speak to you.

  90. Because because the Bible says that who in James chapter four draw near to

  91. God? And you draw near to you? Right, who's supposed to draw

  92. to God? First? Come on, who's supposed to draw to God?

  93. First? See? The only way that you and I can draw near to

  94. God is when we humble ourselves say God, I need you, God,

  95. I need you. That's why you and I will only pick up the phone

  96. and call friends for help. It's when we humble saying, Hey, I'm

  97. so sorry I need to trouble you, but I need help. And many

  98. times our journey. Right, Why we don't call the God because there's this

  99. war and this the world is the hardness of heart. It's all right,

  100. God, I can manage it. But Gyvers knew he came to a place

  101. and if all of his life say God, I need you. The first

  102. thing that Gyvers deep and he saw Jesus was he went on his knees,

  103. a sign of humility, of desperate. See. The only way that you

  104. and I can believe is coming in a place of desperation. God, I

  105. need you. Singing songs do it again is good, but it's out from

  106. the desperation of our heart. That's where we need God to intervene in our

  107. life. Friends, when I was just ministring to our brother us last week

  108. and he was just in tears because, say, elder, I mean my

  109. fifties, fifties, I just didn't know what to do with the rest of

  110. my life. Money is not issue. Finances is not issue. Right,

  111. Everything's all taken care of. But money doesn't give purpose to an individual.

  112. Only God give purpose an individual because all of us here are created by God.

  113. So I pree that you open your heart because Gyrous, the Bible says,

  114. felt that Jesusit begging to her for him to come, speaks about humility

  115. in gyrous life. So you and I this morning have to just dig.

  116. People, what is really stopping earth from asking God? God, I need

  117. you, God, I need you? Because if it's pride, friends,

  118. you know how many times pride stops us from experiencing more of God. Pride

  119. stops us from experiencing more of God. That's why, friends, pray is

  120. so important in our life. A lot of people say giving is important,

  121. is true, but giving is only one aspect. But prayer, friends,

  122. it's the other aspect whereby you humble yourselves, say God and you, and

  123. God is true to his word. When we draw near to God, God,

  124. we draw near to Earth. It goes on friends, verse for you

  125. two. For he had only one daughter, twelve years of age, and

  126. she was dying by he as he ran out, the multitude thronged him.

  127. The question it works for you too, is that why are we falling?

  128. Christ? Why you and I are falling Christ? Are we spectators? You

  129. going? You know what I mean? Just because Jesus get performing. Some

  130. of us are very intrigued by America's if you just following me because you want

  131. to see, right, why do we follow Christ in our life, in

  132. our hearts? Why? Why what's our desire really? Friends, to be

  133. in church? So cheamer a Sunday morning? Right? Why are we?

  134. Why are we in church? Why? Why are we following Christ? Because

  135. if we are just spectators watching, we won't have a brickshue. Spectators don't

  136. expect anything. We just want to watch with you, my friends. But

  137. when you are participator, when you are in it, when you're in the

  138. fire, friends, you want God to come true for your life. And

  139. many times, friends, God wants to convert us from a spectator to participate

  140. to friends. He wants to bring us to this place that don't be just

  141. the multitude just following Christ without experiencing anything, without the words, that without

  142. engaging God. And that's why sometimes you don't have a brickshue because okay,

  143. God, you want to do you do it? Okay, God, if

  144. you want this, it cannot be. Friends, we can't relive our life

  145. by design. We need to say that God, I truly believe in your

  146. word. If this is what you promise the gyrus, you promise me as

  147. well, then you come to my household, you save my household. The

  148. Bible is safe. If one person in the household is safe, the whole

  149. household will be safe. First, you got to believe that if you are

  150. saved, your whole household will be safe. But many times I will Oh,

  151. God, okay, I'm saved. But no, my parents are so

  152. hard it cannot be Friends, the God's words only true at this certain situation.

  153. Right, it goes on, friends, jump me be right now to

  154. words for denying. While Jesus begin to walk towards gyus house, there was

  155. another America to place. After that, the woman of the issue of that

  156. was healed. Gyrus friends came up to him and say, your daughter is

  157. dead. Now, don't trouble the teacher as a parent. I am sure

  158. that his heart sang, I'm sure is How was this in the midst of

  159. confusion, I just came to Jesus the miracle worker on the way to my

  160. house. He can look at the woman. Why did you have to disturb

  161. Jesus? He can look at Christ. Why do you have the stuff for

  162. this lady? My daughter's really dying. See that's why, friends, Sometimes

  163. in our journey, why do we give up on God's because we think that

  164. God we expect God to move in a patticular manner, but didn't come true,

  165. and the situation now was dead. How many of you don't If you

  166. start with the Lord, you shall end with the Lord. That is the

  167. idea that you start with God, and we've got right. But I've seen

  168. a lot of people start with the Lord and they don't God. Especially in

  169. the era of relationship, when two in single individual come together, say oh,

  170. we pray about it. God review her name to me, and God

  171. review his name to me, and we just prayer. God's peace was with

  172. us. And that's why we know that this relationship is supposed to start.

  173. That's how we always starts our friends. I've been enough counseling. Really,

  174. that's how January starts. But when it starts in the argument, when it

  175. starts people having the word, it's a deeper conversation. When things get hit

  176. it up and when words get sex changed all around the break up. Now

  177. see what happened? Cannot stay each other anymore? Did you pray about it?

  178. No, no need to pray and listen because you know she drives me

  179. off the wall. He drives me off the wall. He say, cannot

  180. wait for me and say that she's taking too long. Say what happened?

  181. Did you pray about it? No, cannot be You start with Lord,

  182. you pray, You pray for a relationship. You pray and use words or

  183. confirmation. God reveal her name to me in my dreams. I saw her.

  184. When I opened the Bible, her name reached she was there and I

  185. read it. There was a confirmation for me. Right then after when gain

  186. when things get tougher, Oh, I can't stand her anymore. I can't

  187. stand here anymore. It can be friends. When you start with the Lord,

  188. you just end in the flesh. You start in the street, and

  189. you end with the flesh. So Gyrous Friends was like this, all right,

  190. He approached God. God, please come to my Come to come to

  191. my household, save my daughter. Right Jesus on his way incomes Gyrous servant.

  192. Don't discept the Master right now, your daughter's a really did it?

  193. Cannot be friends. If you start with the Lord, you end with flesh.

  194. Because at this very moment, friends, Gyrus has an option either to

  195. continue believing in God. God, you can come true, or God,

  196. you're the source of my problem right now, And many Christians blame God because

  197. God did not come true for Gyros. You have to understand. When Gyrus

  198. heard the news that daughter was dead. Friends, a love emotions go to.

  199. If you lose someone you love, friends and love emotions you go to.

  200. You're processing through so many things right and the very moment, it's easy

  201. to put the blame on everything else. If only, if only I've done

  202. this, if only I've can the words can turn things earlier. If I

  203. wouldn't approach God earlier, my daughter will be alive. Because the moment you

  204. hear that your love one passed away, friends, you go like you're going

  205. to an emotion. If you understand trying to say you're going to an emotion.

  206. But here's the thing. Sometimes we expect God to intervene much earlier,

  207. so we do have to go to the emotion. How may I have this

  208. false understand they God saved me from going to what it means of losing someone.

  209. But God allows us to go through that journey because he wants to reveal

  210. friends, what's really in our hearts. He says, here the next worst

  211. all right, Verse fifty. But but Jesus heard it. When Jesus heard

  212. it, he said, do not be afraid God, Friends, I truly

  213. believe he's really after our hearts. Because you know, I could just imagine,

  214. right, why didn't Jesus stop the servants from telling Giro's Aughtor's dad because

  215. the moment you know, your heart just go yo yo yo, like,

  216. oh he has Jesus is with me. Right, I'm going there, okay,

  217. my daughter will be here, my daughter will on the on the way

  218. to the house. Your daughter now is dead and you're stopped at your tracks.

  219. You're just going to your tears just you're just crying out there, and

  220. here is Jesus say that do not be afraid, but only believe your heart

  221. just going Oh, it's not a nice feeling, friends, And sometimes you

  222. want God to interview that. It's not going up the invert the bellco this

  223. way right. You want just God to the British that you don't have to

  224. go threat. But why did God bring us shoe that that that that deep.

  225. It's because he wants us to allow us, friends, to know what's

  226. really in our hearts. It says here friends, when Jesus heard it,

  227. No, Jesus, he says, do not be afraid. Do not be

  228. afraid, friends. God's heart is always about ministring to people, do not

  229. be afraid. And many times, friends, what we cannot control, we

  230. are afraid of. That's why we have always is desiged to be in control

  231. of things, because when you're in control of things, friends, it brings

  232. a lot of peace and stability, calmness in your heart. Those of those

  233. those of you who are married, you understand this, right, when you

  234. can control your wife's timing? Enough it my wife's wait. So, my

  235. wife loves to eat, right, So every time I always my wife loves

  236. to eat, and I shd this everywhere so and uh she has this and

  237. this is the word is bottomless peat, I will say, Really, she

  238. exercises, right, she worked out. The reason why she work out is

  239. because she wants to eat, all right, So the most I always joke

  240. with her, right, so about her to eat buffet one day? Right,

  241. she can really eat? Right, I finish, Okay, let me

  242. just let me just finish. Right, she's their happily eating, happily eighty

  243. right, I'll work for one hour in the shopping mall right, I'm hungry,

  244. I'm hungry. I look at her that how can this be? How

  245. can this be? I just feed you one hours? Like, what's wrong

  246. with you? How many I understand one husband's all right, if you understand

  247. that you spend account of money you thought it brings the security, the calmness,

  248. you don't have to worry about it. Next tree, three hours the

  249. right and everything's all they can care off. We can just go three hours

  250. of peace and calmness in your mind. Half an hour later, summer their

  251. days. Whereby she just got up that half an hour later she said,

  252. I'm hungry. I looked at her. I'm like, I think I could

  253. be like a mom having bread in my my my back, next side,

  254. Oh you're hungry. Here you go a love a bread. All right.

  255. But here's the thing, friends, I truly believe God says, do not

  256. be afraid, because many times things that we cannot control, we are afraid.

  257. We are really like, what's what's tomorrow, isn't it? Some of

  258. us I know that we don't like to see doctors because you're afraid of the

  259. results. Let's bring let's bringing closer. Some of your should be resiting the

  260. dentist ready by now, the dentists. The only reason why you don't go

  261. and see that is because you're afraid of the needer of the sound right,

  262. right, you're afraid? You are afraid? Why? Friends? Is you

  263. know it's good for us, but we are afraid, and God wants to

  264. minister to us. Friends, Do not be afraid. He don't it,

  265. you don't. There's so many things that you can tell Gyrous, right,

  266. tell your servant to keep quiet. He's ministry to Gyrus and some of us

  267. here. God wants to minister to our hearts if you allow him to,

  268. really, if you allow him to just go in deeper? What are we

  269. afraid of? Friends? What I'm not talking about, Frank Frank crow coaches

  270. all right, I'm not talking about that. I'm not talking about like flying

  271. lizards or something that flying lizars or lizards on the wall and stuff like that.

  272. All right that they wife said, coach, I just step on it.

  273. Then she said, why do you have to step on it? I

  274. see like a quma. Right, there's the fastest way. There's something called

  275. by gone. It's okay in house, You're okay for me? All right?

  276. What are you're afraid of? And here's the thing that Jesus one,

  277. minister, do not be afraid? Only belief That statement, friend is so

  278. loaded because in our personal journey with the Lord. We have to believe.

  279. When you come to church, you have to believe tomorrow. It's just so

  280. chaotic, friends, but you have to believe that this is the day the

  281. Law has made. We shall rejoice, I mean gliding it. See,

  282. we have to approach our daily life by believing instead of doubting. It can

  283. be you the words that you go through life. If you experience a cough

  284. or sickness in your life whereby you cannot just stand and say, God,

  285. I choose to believe. Just because Giver's daughter is that it doesn't mean that

  286. we stop believing. And sometimes in our lives that when the natural is dead

  287. doesn't mean that supernaturalist it's over. God can turn things around. Right.

  288. Allow me just to bring you to some points, okay, number worse that

  289. we are called to believe it not doubt. It's easy to doubt, meaning

  290. to say that when we in a place of doubt, is easy to complain.

  291. God's your thought. God, you brought me here. Term with me

  292. right now. I think it's book of Matthew. All right, let's I

  293. think Matthew. Let's see, let me see where it is, sir,

  294. Sorry, just give me a moment I had that, uh, Matthew Chapter

  295. nine, Matthew chapter nine worse twenty seven nine worse training is seven. All

  296. right, here we go? All right said when Jesus departed from from there,

  297. two blind men followed him. Oh, sorry, matt two Chapter fourteen

  298. apologies. There was another scripture, Matthew Chapter fourteen fourteen fourteen fourteen worse twenty

  299. seven. I was trady two uh fourteen verse trainy two all right here we

  300. go Chapter seven was sorry fourteen worse trainy turking. Immediately, Jesus made the

  301. disciples to get into the boat and and go before him to the other side.

  302. While he sends the multitude away? Who made the disciples get into the

  303. boat? Come on next, monda thumber and just talk to me. Let

  304. me feel some love here Jesus right correct. Jesus made the disciples get into

  305. the boat. What happens when they got into the boat. It was twenty

  306. four The boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the

  307. ways for the winds. Was country very important lessons for us here to know.

  308. Sometimes following Christ, we were experienced waves and the wind. We must

  309. understand when we follow Christ. Food you're in the midst of the boat,

  310. right right, breaking off the shore is always a good experience. Yea God

  311. spoke to us. We step up by faith. You're rolling happily, all

  312. right, peace and calm, tranquility, joyful. But in the middle of

  313. the sea, friends, the Bible says, the we the winds and the

  314. waves begin to begin become a bit more aggressive. This is what I could

  315. imagine happening the boat. They were a bunch of discipers. The first thing

  316. they discipers praying the stop blaming each other? Very short? Who asks us

  317. to roll out so far? You? Is it? I truly believe,

  318. friends, they were arguing at them in the middle of the boat there because

  319. this is what normally happens when things go country to what were expected to turn.

  320. Why do we think this step will favor to you? Really? Do

  321. follow Christ? He's setting this up to die? Why must he roll so

  322. far away? Can't we just roll by the same? Why can't we walk?

  323. Who asked to stick the boat? But friends, why were they in

  324. the middle of the sea Jesus? Why did they experience a win? And

  325. the way Jesus? And many times our live friends? It cannot be that

  326. God will bring you to a place for you to die. It cannot be

  327. that, Bob, but you where you're praying for a job, God give

  328. you a job half way to show that first three weeks it's so tough.

  329. Lord, my boss is so crazy and can look for another job. It

  330. can't be that God by you the place or you too for your faith to

  331. dry up. It can't be the God brought you this place where by you're

  332. sol squeezed that you don't have enough time. I was speaking to one year

  333. working it out, and he's has been in the company form we tend to

  334. twelve years really, And I said, oh, I'm looking for a new

  335. job. Okay, sure, people change the organization. Fine. My next

  336. thing was like, so have you given in your letter of resonation? Oh

  337. no, not yet. I said, why why not? You want to

  338. change my go No time to time my letter, No time to type my

  339. letter? Okay, so what's your plan to take leave to type my letter?

  340. I'm serious, it's a true story. I gotta take leave to type

  341. my resonation letter. I said. It cannot know what I mean. It

  342. cannot be that our mind is so rigid that when God wants to interview me

  343. cannot see beyond that. It cannot be God brought you to your place for

  344. you to die so tough love? Why did we see years to pass,

  345. sible to come expand why why I know after this or there is a shopping

  346. mote. Besides, sometimes we will be the first one they have sailed coming

  347. out on Sunday. We are really here. But why every week the same

  348. people? How to grow possessive? When the single ones get married, you

  349. forget about us, no time for us anymore. I will know what God

  350. to us an individual, my friends, But I only say because it really

  351. is something. It is like okay, But when the boat was in the

  352. middle, right, friends, when the boat was in the middle, they

  353. begin to be afraid. They're afraid of being drowned, abandoned by God,

  354. and start blaming each other. Worse, let me see our worse trainy five.

  355. Now, the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went to them.

  356. Did they prayed Jesus come to me? Maybe they did. But the Bible

  357. hears this well, in the midst of the wind and the race, here

  358. comes Jesus coming towards them. Rest assured believers that with the moment we are

  359. going to something. God is actually coming towards us, because He will never

  360. leave us the fullsakeres The Bible says, it's very important for us who understand,

  361. friends, that we are not often in God's kingdom. What do I

  362. mean by that? Sometimes in our journey you helped so abandoned, so abandoned,

  363. so neglected, Like the only way you survive in the kingdom of God

  364. is to do everything on your own. That God only cares for you if

  365. you do things on your own. The Bible says, He loves us first,

  366. That's why he came. He accepted us first, That's why he came.

  367. And many times our journey everything that we have to struggle, we have

  368. to strive. You have to the world is that you have to find food

  369. too. How am I going to share this with you the truth? I

  370. think? I think in our journey, friends, it's hard. The word

  371. is to the world is to stand the place whereby to receive His love.

  372. All of us here we were very tough, resilience. But to say God

  373. loves you, that you're his creation, He never made a mistake to say

  374. that, No, you have a hope in the future in him. To

  375. say that he cares for us. Sometimes we have to receive one. That's

  376. why I know there are guys in our church very tough on the outside,

  377. right, very tough on the outside. All right, you want to rag

  378. me go hate, You know I am prepared. I can take all the

  379. physical torment and to physical challenges. But the moment we are asked individual to

  380. sit at a chair, he said, all right, but there no way.

  381. We won't do anything physical. But just at the chair, there were

  382. one round we just went. We can say words of appreciation, by which

  383. the fourth person he was tearing only because sometimes in our tough exterior, our

  384. heart yearns to be accepted, yearns the words. The word is to be,

  385. to belong and here is here is God. While we are struggling at

  386. one place. The Bible says that Jesus came towards the boat swam bought for

  387. us to understand that sometimes the midst of our our most difficult moment, that

  388. God is coming towards us. It's true, God is coming towards us.

  389. And many times our journey cannot just say, oh who are you? And

  390. this is what the disciples when Jesus came to us. Then the first thing,

  391. the first thing they said to Jesus or this it is a ghost.

  392. It is a ghost. It can be when God's presence come to our life.

  393. We don't even recognize it. And this is what the Lord wants to

  394. minister to earth this morning, he said, and review to the ends of

  395. the world that what can separate you from the love of God? Friends?

  396. Can the waves of the wain separate Can your tough boss separate you from God's

  397. love? Can the lack of no degree in your life? Maybe someone will

  398. here are slightly a bit, a bit, a bit older, and sometimes

  399. we don't have the word this is that. I was saying someone that they

  400. that you know that he I met. I met someone new. He was

  401. twenty years anger than me. He asked me, is how are you guys

  402. for the no way, you're for the it? He's like the they six

  403. that is it? Yeah, I'm doing it for the It's like, but

  404. how come you got so much the words do you use? Okay, non

  405. Christian use the word energy. I got so much energy, and there's so

  406. much glow on your face. I go that, I don't know. I

  407. say that maybe I've been washing a lot of place I use glow. Sorry,

  408. sorry, I can't resist that I can't resist. Okay, I said,

  409. why is it because so much is positive energy or crystal? Are you

  410. using You're talking to nonbeliever. It's right, it's I feel no, I

  411. said, no, no, no, I said, I go to church

  412. and this stuff like but yeah, you got this, like sa, I'm

  413. younger than you, but I'm so tired. And that's why friends, as

  414. believers, that you cannot be the words you can the only reason why you

  415. have life. You're exestly because you found purpose in God, that he's a

  416. giver of life. It can be that just because we went to a rough

  417. patch to go like I'm so deflated, can inflict you again, friends,

  418. suit Jim and Jesus a push of both friends the first the disciple sit it

  419. is a ghost and many times why we say it is a ghost as well

  420. because we cannot see a way out. How can this God that love us

  421. so much allow us to go through the winds and the waves? How can

  422. God loves us so much allow us to go through the winds and the waves.

  423. It can be friends, that God will bring us through a place whereby

  424. we we it's so tough, but in the moment of the toughest situation.

  425. Is what Jesus said to the people, be of good cheer. It is

  426. I do not be afraid. Again, be of good cheer. It is

  427. I do not be afraid. His reminding is again, friends, in the

  428. midst of the storm, be of good cheer. It is I. Because

  429. the usual is I because where you are right now is because I let you

  430. here. Where you are right now, I let you. God never made

  431. the mistake. You are bothered. But in a very challenging family situation,

  432. it is I do not be afraid. It is I do not be afraid.

  433. You're in the tough company and you felt God I let you there in

  434. the first place. It is I do not be afraid. And many times

  435. are alive. We are afraid because it cannot be because a good God will

  436. never allow me to experience a win and the wave. But God allows to

  437. go through because he wants to shake our heart. Because without the shaking there

  438. will there will be no humility. You understand. Without the shaking, without

  439. the moment of going through that there will be no humility. Friends, God

  440. will always bring us to a place whereby we can not control the winds and

  441. the waves. Yes, we can control the boat. We can control how

  442. we roll, but you cannot control the winds and the wave even as they're

  443. going to close right now, Friends, I just want to encourage you.

  444. There's some things in life that's beyond your control, really beyond your control.

  445. The winds. You've got money, how are you where you're going to chrow

  446. money to the us to control the winds and the waves. Just you can't

  447. be chewing at wins. I give you fifty thousand. Be still. You

  448. can't be grabbed your bosses, they say, God, boss, I give

  449. it that thousand. Okay, don't give me work. This is it's those

  450. such things like your boss. I think the money actually give you work?

  451. Okay. Then it can be friends, it can be that you use your

  452. nature to control the supernatural about God would always be at a place whereby where

  453. would you have finances? But some of us have health issues. So I

  454. do have health issues. But we have finances, finances and help. It's

  455. okay, but we do not know how to do with our life. You

  456. know what I mean? There will be a moment whereby that thinks beyond our

  457. control. That's why we need Jesus in our life. That's why we need

  458. God and life because God will come in to us. Do not be afraid.

  459. It is I so I want to encourage all of us here. Friends,

  460. God was a minister to us. He says, do not doubt,

  461. but only believe. Friends only got true with one point on the of my

  462. message. I just truly believe that this is sufficient. Do not doubt,

  463. but only belief. Do not doubt, but only believe. You know,

  464. when you believe, our friends begin to expect. When you believe, you

  465. begin to expect. Some of us here have very good friends, very good

  466. friends, because you believe. On your birthday, Sorry you use the word

  467. birthday, I'm not expecting you okay, but you believe. But you believe

  468. on your birthday. Are you expect your good friends to at least remember your

  469. birthday? On everybody the multitudes is okay because you're good friends. Because you

  470. believe them, they will at least send you a text, Hey, happy

  471. birthday. For the moment you don't receive your text, you could disappointed because

  472. devis but you believe our friends, you stend to be disappointed on you know,

  473. givers believe Jesus can heal what will happened? Yeah? My daughter,

  474. my daughter, there's a chance she may be well. There's a chance that

  475. she may be well. That comes to the woman with the issue of blood

  476. in between, it must be a fault when to the journey. Your daughter

  477. now was crying. Just do not what to say. But when you believe

  478. this type of may we believe that there was a fifty to fifty that you

  479. might be disappointed. That's why you just say that be of good cheer.

  480. They decided to not be afraid. How can we overcome the things in our

  481. life? Do not doubt, but only believe, don't It doesn't mean that

  482. just because we've got the wet tossed around in the winds and the wave,

  483. that God has abandonedness. It doesn't mean that just because we made a couple

  484. of wrong choices investment that we lost everything. Then it can be that He

  485. abandoned us. I know a particular brother who was actually very well to do

  486. it, and I was hearing this possible sharing me about his testimony. He

  487. said, you know, can you help this guy in my church well to

  488. do but ninety nineties something, he lost everything everything men of wealth. Two

  489. weeks later was selling rubber band and rough string, petty traders everything. That's

  490. why where we counsel couples in our church. When I me and my wife,

  491. you'll make marriage counseling. We just asked couples say, really, what

  492. happened there? I mean, we don't wish it, but sometimes we make

  493. bad choices. What happened? If you lose everything we used to haunt,

  494. hold on to each other in your marriage or not we used to hold on

  495. to each other, or you stop blaming each other and start killing each other.

  496. Because if that's your top process, don't get married. It can be

  497. you only rejoice when everything's okay. But when when? When? When?

  498. When you don't have the security anymore? Then this marriage hambit. That's it.

  499. Then, don't get married. It's marriage for richer for poorer friends.

  500. We only remember we prayed for reaching one for poor. The wedding weals in

  501. health, in sickness and in health. Someone once I remember when couples it

  502. in sickness and in hell. Some of us need to believe again because not

  503. believing, I think that we are all right because we don't tend to be

  504. disappointed. But the moment we believe her to tend to be disappointed, or

  505. whether God will bring us to them, that emotion, but all right.

  506. The Bible says, do not be afraid. They desire to be of good

  507. cheer. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more information on
