-
You're listening to a message to go from a church. We hope this message
-
will light up your day. This morning. I want to share with us
-
something that the Lords been ministering to me. It's something It's called do not
-
be afraid or do not doubt, but only believe. We come to church
-
for the longest of time, and I do believe after a while we can
-
The world is that we can grow tired. I'm so not used to this
-
huge poop in front of me, but you know we can grow tired.
-
The world is that we can go still. We can grow. Like you
-
know, like just coming to church, I'm just doing a religious duty.
-
I am just giving to the offering. And you know after Sunday, after
-
church, after lunch, the best thing to do after church is to sleep
-
because you know, after a food days, it's something there's something about Sunday's
-
uh sleep wretch, which really always look forward to. And there has to
-
be more than that is coming to church or going to sell group of homes.
-
In our faith, in our journey, we must the worst experience the
-
fitfulness of God in our life. You and I need to experience God's faithfulness,
-
God's goodness, not just in our workplaces. But really that's why the
-
lot pushes us to come to a place whereby either we really believe in Him
-
or we don't. For example, starting a church, right, it's now
-
easy, and sometimes the desire for people is to start the church. But
-
really the process of starting a church is not just or fantastic to seve another
-
church, but it's really a step of faith. Really when you go out
-
there the first day already the first service is always very good one because always
-
packed, the chess are packed, be very excited. You see the numbers.
-
Yeah, week two a week tree is the real start of the church
-
whereby all the glamor or the bullows all died really and or deflated. And
-
the real tennis really starts everek two. And that's where you need to have
-
faith. The word is to believe. How many of you know that without
-
expecting something from a lord, nothing will happen. The Bible says that Jesus
-
couldn't do anything in his village because people just see Jesus as another person in
-
his hometown. So if that's our approach and our so excuse it by any
-
tude as well. And that's why sometimes it's their own journey of life or
-
own journey of faith. Right, it's still and it's mundane only because we
-
don't expect anything. So I pray that today you open your heart, just
-
allow me to share what the Lord has its staff all of us. Okay,
-
luke Chapter eight look, chapter avers for the one. Look Chapter avers
-
for the one. So it was when Jesus returned that the multitude welcome him,
-
for they were waiting for him. The question is is that, friends,
-
the Bible here says that multitude was waiting for Jesus. They welcome him.
-
But you know that in the Bible that it wasn't the mutuitude that experienced
-
the supernatural of God. Because many times we come to church, right,
-
we just come to church and when there is no stretching of our faith,
-
meaning to say that when there is no expression of our faith, we can't
-
just go back empty. And that's why when Jesus was arrested, the multitudes
-
left Christ because there was no personal relationship, there was no journey together with
-
Christ. So I pray that today that you that you will see that it's
-
important for us not to be the multitude because they came to a place they
-
were waiting for Jesus. It was for you want and behold that came a
-
man called Gyros. He was the ruler of Synaga. He fell down at
-
Jesus begging him to come to his house. Friends. Either today we can
-
be the multitudes, or we can be like Gyrus. I truly believe all
-
of us here have a personal challenge your own life one right. It could
-
be your studies. You could be finances. It could be a job.
-
It could be a family. It could be a future. It could be
-
about retirement. It could be what do I do with the rest of my
-
life. All verse here are at the crossroad of our lives. We could
-
be like multitude. Just the words I'm just waiting for Christ. I'm just
-
waiting here. You welcome him, then that's it. There has to be
-
more friends. I was talking to someone that they so allow me to share.
-
When I do share things about different people, I'm not referring to anyone
-
for xpandom a praist to lahallelujah. Right, So rest as sure, Okay,
-
I don't I don't meet with you personally, all right, But I
-
was talking to somebody and you know, and you know there are singing guys
-
and single girls in our church, right, Well, the merry one,
-
the one to say yes, or the single I just remaining silent. Come
-
on, you have to emit where you allah there, then you can find
-
all. Right. So I was talking to someone that did and say,
-
we were concert about this brother, and they say that, yellah, he
-
likes a particular person, but he's not making a move. How are you
-
right? You okay say a yeah, right right? It's like worse forty
-
one. The multitudes are waiting for Jesus to come, and when Jesus came,
-
there was no engagement. See why I'm mean, it's like this guy
-
that there are a lot he likes a particular person, and every one of
-
the streats who have courage go us out us. His reply was, well,
-
she made need to make the first move to oh running west, your
-
wife knock in the room. That's why I understand. Okay, Restley's wife
-
is not here? Right? This sides that, yeah, come on,
-
man, but there's too many times we are like the multitude as well,
-
isn't it? I mean we can come to church and then the word is
-
that. You know what stops us really from engaging Christ? Sometimes it is
-
pride. Pride pritking there, all right, pritinging that I'm okay. The
-
way is, I'm all right, I'm all right. I don't have any
-
problems. I have sufficient in my bank account, I have this, I
-
have dead But how many of you know Gyris? When Gyros came to Christ,
-
it was a situation where even the money that Gyris has could not even
-
heal his daughter. That you and I will come to a place. God,
-
bring us to a place where by whatever resources we have could not deal
-
with the issue or the problem, because the problem can only be resolved to
-
Christ's intervention. So I pray that you allow God to just speak to you.
-
Because because the Bible says that who in James chapter four draw near to
-
God? And you draw near to you? Right, who's supposed to draw
-
to God? First? Come on, who's supposed to draw to God?
-
First? See? The only way that you and I can draw near to
-
God is when we humble ourselves say God, I need you, God,
-
I need you. That's why you and I will only pick up the phone
-
and call friends for help. It's when we humble saying, Hey, I'm
-
so sorry I need to trouble you, but I need help. And many
-
times our journey. Right, Why we don't call the God because there's this
-
war and this the world is the hardness of heart. It's all right,
-
God, I can manage it. But Gyvers knew he came to a place
-
and if all of his life say God, I need you. The first
-
thing that Gyvers deep and he saw Jesus was he went on his knees,
-
a sign of humility, of desperate. See. The only way that you
-
and I can believe is coming in a place of desperation. God, I
-
need you. Singing songs do it again is good, but it's out from
-
the desperation of our heart. That's where we need God to intervene in our
-
life. Friends, when I was just ministring to our brother us last week
-
and he was just in tears because, say, elder, I mean my
-
fifties, fifties, I just didn't know what to do with the rest of
-
my life. Money is not issue. Finances is not issue. Right,
-
Everything's all taken care of. But money doesn't give purpose to an individual.
-
Only God give purpose an individual because all of us here are created by God.
-
So I pree that you open your heart because Gyrous, the Bible says,
-
felt that Jesusit begging to her for him to come, speaks about humility
-
in gyrous life. So you and I this morning have to just dig.
-
People, what is really stopping earth from asking God? God, I need
-
you, God, I need you? Because if it's pride, friends,
-
you know how many times pride stops us from experiencing more of God. Pride
-
stops us from experiencing more of God. That's why, friends, pray is
-
so important in our life. A lot of people say giving is important,
-
is true, but giving is only one aspect. But prayer, friends,
-
it's the other aspect whereby you humble yourselves, say God and you, and
-
God is true to his word. When we draw near to God, God,
-
we draw near to Earth. It goes on friends, verse for you
-
two. For he had only one daughter, twelve years of age, and
-
she was dying by he as he ran out, the multitude thronged him.
-
The question it works for you too, is that why are we falling?
-
Christ? Why you and I are falling Christ? Are we spectators? You
-
going? You know what I mean? Just because Jesus get performing. Some
-
of us are very intrigued by America's if you just following me because you want
-
to see, right, why do we follow Christ in our life, in
-
our hearts? Why? Why what's our desire really? Friends, to be
-
in church? So cheamer a Sunday morning? Right? Why are we?
-
Why are we in church? Why? Why are we following Christ? Because
-
if we are just spectators watching, we won't have a brickshue. Spectators don't
-
expect anything. We just want to watch with you, my friends. But
-
when you are participator, when you are in it, when you're in the
-
fire, friends, you want God to come true for your life. And
-
many times, friends, God wants to convert us from a spectator to participate
-
to friends. He wants to bring us to this place that don't be just
-
the multitude just following Christ without experiencing anything, without the words, that without
-
engaging God. And that's why sometimes you don't have a brickshue because okay,
-
God, you want to do you do it? Okay, God, if
-
you want this, it cannot be. Friends, we can't relive our life
-
by design. We need to say that God, I truly believe in your
-
word. If this is what you promise the gyrus, you promise me as
-
well, then you come to my household, you save my household. The
-
Bible is safe. If one person in the household is safe, the whole
-
household will be safe. First, you got to believe that if you are
-
saved, your whole household will be safe. But many times I will Oh,
-
God, okay, I'm saved. But no, my parents are so
-
hard it cannot be Friends, the God's words only true at this certain situation.
-
Right, it goes on, friends, jump me be right now to
-
words for denying. While Jesus begin to walk towards gyus house, there was
-
another America to place. After that, the woman of the issue of that
-
was healed. Gyrus friends came up to him and say, your daughter is
-
dead. Now, don't trouble the teacher as a parent. I am sure
-
that his heart sang, I'm sure is How was this in the midst of
-
confusion, I just came to Jesus the miracle worker on the way to my
-
house. He can look at the woman. Why did you have to disturb
-
Jesus? He can look at Christ. Why do you have the stuff for
-
this lady? My daughter's really dying. See that's why, friends, Sometimes
-
in our journey, why do we give up on God's because we think that
-
God we expect God to move in a patticular manner, but didn't come true,
-
and the situation now was dead. How many of you don't If you
-
start with the Lord, you shall end with the Lord. That is the
-
idea that you start with God, and we've got right. But I've seen
-
a lot of people start with the Lord and they don't God. Especially in
-
the era of relationship, when two in single individual come together, say oh,
-
we pray about it. God review her name to me, and God
-
review his name to me, and we just prayer. God's peace was with
-
us. And that's why we know that this relationship is supposed to start.
-
That's how we always starts our friends. I've been enough counseling. Really,
-
that's how January starts. But when it starts in the argument, when it
-
starts people having the word, it's a deeper conversation. When things get hit
-
it up and when words get sex changed all around the break up. Now
-
see what happened? Cannot stay each other anymore? Did you pray about it?
-
No, no need to pray and listen because you know she drives me
-
off the wall. He drives me off the wall. He say, cannot
-
wait for me and say that she's taking too long. Say what happened?
-
Did you pray about it? No, cannot be You start with Lord,
-
you pray, You pray for a relationship. You pray and use words or
-
confirmation. God reveal her name to me in my dreams. I saw her.
-
When I opened the Bible, her name reached she was there and I
-
read it. There was a confirmation for me. Right then after when gain
-
when things get tougher, Oh, I can't stand her anymore. I can't
-
stand here anymore. It can be friends. When you start with the Lord,
-
you just end in the flesh. You start in the street, and
-
you end with the flesh. So Gyrous Friends was like this, all right,
-
He approached God. God, please come to my Come to come to
-
my household, save my daughter. Right Jesus on his way incomes Gyrous servant.
-
Don't discept the Master right now, your daughter's a really did it?
-
Cannot be friends. If you start with the Lord, you end with flesh.
-
Because at this very moment, friends, Gyrus has an option either to
-
continue believing in God. God, you can come true, or God,
-
you're the source of my problem right now, And many Christians blame God because
-
God did not come true for Gyros. You have to understand. When Gyrus
-
heard the news that daughter was dead. Friends, a love emotions go to.
-
If you lose someone you love, friends and love emotions you go to.
-
You're processing through so many things right and the very moment, it's easy
-
to put the blame on everything else. If only, if only I've done
-
this, if only I've can the words can turn things earlier. If I
-
wouldn't approach God earlier, my daughter will be alive. Because the moment you
-
hear that your love one passed away, friends, you go like you're going
-
to an emotion. If you understand trying to say you're going to an emotion.
-
But here's the thing. Sometimes we expect God to intervene much earlier,
-
so we do have to go to the emotion. How may I have this
-
false understand they God saved me from going to what it means of losing someone.
-
But God allows us to go through that journey because he wants to reveal
-
friends, what's really in our hearts. He says, here the next worst
-
all right, Verse fifty. But but Jesus heard it. When Jesus heard
-
it, he said, do not be afraid God, Friends, I truly
-
believe he's really after our hearts. Because you know, I could just imagine,
-
right, why didn't Jesus stop the servants from telling Giro's Aughtor's dad because
-
the moment you know, your heart just go yo yo yo, like,
-
oh he has Jesus is with me. Right, I'm going there, okay,
-
my daughter will be here, my daughter will on the on the way
-
to the house. Your daughter now is dead and you're stopped at your tracks.
-
You're just going to your tears just you're just crying out there, and
-
here is Jesus say that do not be afraid, but only believe your heart
-
just going Oh, it's not a nice feeling, friends, And sometimes you
-
want God to interview that. It's not going up the invert the bellco this
-
way right. You want just God to the British that you don't have to
-
go threat. But why did God bring us shoe that that that that deep.
-
It's because he wants us to allow us, friends, to know what's
-
really in our hearts. It says here friends, when Jesus heard it,
-
No, Jesus, he says, do not be afraid. Do not be
-
afraid, friends. God's heart is always about ministring to people, do not
-
be afraid. And many times, friends, what we cannot control, we
-
are afraid of. That's why we have always is desiged to be in control
-
of things, because when you're in control of things, friends, it brings
-
a lot of peace and stability, calmness in your heart. Those of those
-
those of you who are married, you understand this, right, when you
-
can control your wife's timing? Enough it my wife's wait. So, my
-
wife loves to eat, right, So every time I always my wife loves
-
to eat, and I shd this everywhere so and uh she has this and
-
this is the word is bottomless peat, I will say, Really, she
-
exercises, right, she worked out. The reason why she work out is
-
because she wants to eat, all right, So the most I always joke
-
with her, right, so about her to eat buffet one day? Right,
-
she can really eat? Right, I finish, Okay, let me
-
just let me just finish. Right, she's their happily eating, happily eighty
-
right, I'll work for one hour in the shopping mall right, I'm hungry,
-
I'm hungry. I look at her that how can this be? How
-
can this be? I just feed you one hours? Like, what's wrong
-
with you? How many I understand one husband's all right, if you understand
-
that you spend account of money you thought it brings the security, the calmness,
-
you don't have to worry about it. Next tree, three hours the
-
right and everything's all they can care off. We can just go three hours
-
of peace and calmness in your mind. Half an hour later, summer their
-
days. Whereby she just got up that half an hour later she said,
-
I'm hungry. I looked at her. I'm like, I think I could
-
be like a mom having bread in my my my back, next side,
-
Oh you're hungry. Here you go a love a bread. All right.
-
But here's the thing, friends, I truly believe God says, do not
-
be afraid, because many times things that we cannot control, we are afraid.
-
We are really like, what's what's tomorrow, isn't it? Some of
-
us I know that we don't like to see doctors because you're afraid of the
-
results. Let's bring let's bringing closer. Some of your should be resiting the
-
dentist ready by now, the dentists. The only reason why you don't go
-
and see that is because you're afraid of the needer of the sound right,
-
right, you're afraid? You are afraid? Why? Friends? Is you
-
know it's good for us, but we are afraid, and God wants to
-
minister to us. Friends, Do not be afraid. He don't it,
-
you don't. There's so many things that you can tell Gyrous, right,
-
tell your servant to keep quiet. He's ministry to Gyrus and some of us
-
here. God wants to minister to our hearts if you allow him to,
-
really, if you allow him to just go in deeper? What are we
-
afraid of? Friends? What I'm not talking about, Frank Frank crow coaches
-
all right, I'm not talking about that. I'm not talking about like flying
-
lizards or something that flying lizars or lizards on the wall and stuff like that.
-
All right that they wife said, coach, I just step on it.
-
Then she said, why do you have to step on it? I
-
see like a quma. Right, there's the fastest way. There's something called
-
by gone. It's okay in house, You're okay for me? All right?
-
What are you're afraid of? And here's the thing that Jesus one,
-
minister, do not be afraid? Only belief That statement, friend is so
-
loaded because in our personal journey with the Lord. We have to believe.
-
When you come to church, you have to believe tomorrow. It's just so
-
chaotic, friends, but you have to believe that this is the day the
-
Law has made. We shall rejoice, I mean gliding it. See,
-
we have to approach our daily life by believing instead of doubting. It can
-
be you the words that you go through life. If you experience a cough
-
or sickness in your life whereby you cannot just stand and say, God,
-
I choose to believe. Just because Giver's daughter is that it doesn't mean that
-
we stop believing. And sometimes in our lives that when the natural is dead
-
doesn't mean that supernaturalist it's over. God can turn things around. Right.
-
Allow me just to bring you to some points, okay, number worse that
-
we are called to believe it not doubt. It's easy to doubt, meaning
-
to say that when we in a place of doubt, is easy to complain.
-
God's your thought. God, you brought me here. Term with me
-
right now. I think it's book of Matthew. All right, let's I
-
think Matthew. Let's see, let me see where it is, sir,
-
Sorry, just give me a moment I had that, uh, Matthew Chapter
-
nine, Matthew chapter nine worse twenty seven nine worse training is seven. All
-
right, here we go? All right said when Jesus departed from from there,
-
two blind men followed him. Oh, sorry, matt two Chapter fourteen
-
apologies. There was another scripture, Matthew Chapter fourteen fourteen fourteen fourteen worse twenty
-
seven. I was trady two uh fourteen verse trainy two all right here we
-
go Chapter seven was sorry fourteen worse trainy turking. Immediately, Jesus made the
-
disciples to get into the boat and and go before him to the other side.
-
While he sends the multitude away? Who made the disciples get into the
-
boat? Come on next, monda thumber and just talk to me. Let
-
me feel some love here Jesus right correct. Jesus made the disciples get into
-
the boat. What happens when they got into the boat. It was twenty
-
four The boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the
-
ways for the winds. Was country very important lessons for us here to know.
-
Sometimes following Christ, we were experienced waves and the wind. We must
-
understand when we follow Christ. Food you're in the midst of the boat,
-
right right, breaking off the shore is always a good experience. Yea God
-
spoke to us. We step up by faith. You're rolling happily, all
-
right, peace and calm, tranquility, joyful. But in the middle of
-
the sea, friends, the Bible says, the we the winds and the
-
waves begin to begin become a bit more aggressive. This is what I could
-
imagine happening the boat. They were a bunch of discipers. The first thing
-
they discipers praying the stop blaming each other? Very short? Who asks us
-
to roll out so far? You? Is it? I truly believe,
-
friends, they were arguing at them in the middle of the boat there because
-
this is what normally happens when things go country to what were expected to turn.
-
Why do we think this step will favor to you? Really? Do
-
follow Christ? He's setting this up to die? Why must he roll so
-
far away? Can't we just roll by the same? Why can't we walk?
-
Who asked to stick the boat? But friends, why were they in
-
the middle of the sea Jesus? Why did they experience a win? And
-
the way Jesus? And many times our live friends? It cannot be that
-
God will bring you to a place for you to die. It cannot be
-
that, Bob, but you where you're praying for a job, God give
-
you a job half way to show that first three weeks it's so tough.
-
Lord, my boss is so crazy and can look for another job. It
-
can't be that God by you the place or you too for your faith to
-
dry up. It can't be the God brought you this place where by you're
-
sol squeezed that you don't have enough time. I was speaking to one year
-
working it out, and he's has been in the company form we tend to
-
twelve years really, And I said, oh, I'm looking for a new
-
job. Okay, sure, people change the organization. Fine. My next
-
thing was like, so have you given in your letter of resonation? Oh
-
no, not yet. I said, why why not? You want to
-
change my go No time to time my letter, No time to type my
-
letter? Okay, so what's your plan to take leave to type my letter?
-
I'm serious, it's a true story. I gotta take leave to type
-
my resonation letter. I said. It cannot know what I mean. It
-
cannot be that our mind is so rigid that when God wants to interview me
-
cannot see beyond that. It cannot be God brought you to your place for
-
you to die so tough love? Why did we see years to pass,
-
sible to come expand why why I know after this or there is a shopping
-
mote. Besides, sometimes we will be the first one they have sailed coming
-
out on Sunday. We are really here. But why every week the same
-
people? How to grow possessive? When the single ones get married, you
-
forget about us, no time for us anymore. I will know what God
-
to us an individual, my friends, But I only say because it really
-
is something. It is like okay, But when the boat was in the
-
middle, right, friends, when the boat was in the middle, they
-
begin to be afraid. They're afraid of being drowned, abandoned by God,
-
and start blaming each other. Worse, let me see our worse trainy five.
-
Now, the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went to them.
-
Did they prayed Jesus come to me? Maybe they did. But the Bible
-
hears this well, in the midst of the wind and the race, here
-
comes Jesus coming towards them. Rest assured believers that with the moment we are
-
going to something. God is actually coming towards us, because He will never
-
leave us the fullsakeres The Bible says, it's very important for us who understand,
-
friends, that we are not often in God's kingdom. What do I
-
mean by that? Sometimes in our journey you helped so abandoned, so abandoned,
-
so neglected, Like the only way you survive in the kingdom of God
-
is to do everything on your own. That God only cares for you if
-
you do things on your own. The Bible says, He loves us first,
-
That's why he came. He accepted us first, That's why he came.
-
And many times our journey everything that we have to struggle, we have
-
to strive. You have to the world is that you have to find food
-
too. How am I going to share this with you the truth? I
-
think? I think in our journey, friends, it's hard. The word
-
is to the world is to stand the place whereby to receive His love.
-
All of us here we were very tough, resilience. But to say God
-
loves you, that you're his creation, He never made a mistake to say
-
that, No, you have a hope in the future in him. To
-
say that he cares for us. Sometimes we have to receive one. That's
-
why I know there are guys in our church very tough on the outside,
-
right, very tough on the outside. All right, you want to rag
-
me go hate, You know I am prepared. I can take all the
-
physical torment and to physical challenges. But the moment we are asked individual to
-
sit at a chair, he said, all right, but there no way.
-
We won't do anything physical. But just at the chair, there were
-
one round we just went. We can say words of appreciation, by which
-
the fourth person he was tearing only because sometimes in our tough exterior, our
-
heart yearns to be accepted, yearns the words. The word is to be,
-
to belong and here is here is God. While we are struggling at
-
one place. The Bible says that Jesus came towards the boat swam bought for
-
us to understand that sometimes the midst of our our most difficult moment, that
-
God is coming towards us. It's true, God is coming towards us.
-
And many times our journey cannot just say, oh who are you? And
-
this is what the disciples when Jesus came to us. Then the first thing,
-
the first thing they said to Jesus or this it is a ghost.
-
It is a ghost. It can be when God's presence come to our life.
-
We don't even recognize it. And this is what the Lord wants to
-
minister to earth this morning, he said, and review to the ends of
-
the world that what can separate you from the love of God? Friends?
-
Can the waves of the wain separate Can your tough boss separate you from God's
-
love? Can the lack of no degree in your life? Maybe someone will
-
here are slightly a bit, a bit, a bit older, and sometimes
-
we don't have the word this is that. I was saying someone that they
-
that you know that he I met. I met someone new. He was
-
twenty years anger than me. He asked me, is how are you guys
-
for the no way, you're for the it? He's like the they six
-
that is it? Yeah, I'm doing it for the It's like, but
-
how come you got so much the words do you use? Okay, non
-
Christian use the word energy. I got so much energy, and there's so
-
much glow on your face. I go that, I don't know. I
-
say that maybe I've been washing a lot of place I use glow. Sorry,
-
sorry, I can't resist that I can't resist. Okay, I said,
-
why is it because so much is positive energy or crystal? Are you
-
using You're talking to nonbeliever. It's right, it's I feel no, I
-
said, no, no, no, I said, I go to church
-
and this stuff like but yeah, you got this, like sa, I'm
-
younger than you, but I'm so tired. And that's why friends, as
-
believers, that you cannot be the words you can the only reason why you
-
have life. You're exestly because you found purpose in God, that he's a
-
giver of life. It can be that just because we went to a rough
-
patch to go like I'm so deflated, can inflict you again, friends,
-
suit Jim and Jesus a push of both friends the first the disciple sit it
-
is a ghost and many times why we say it is a ghost as well
-
because we cannot see a way out. How can this God that love us
-
so much allow us to go through the winds and the waves? How can
-
God loves us so much allow us to go through the winds and the waves.
-
It can be friends, that God will bring us through a place whereby
-
we we it's so tough, but in the moment of the toughest situation.
-
Is what Jesus said to the people, be of good cheer. It is
-
I do not be afraid. Again, be of good cheer. It is
-
I do not be afraid. His reminding is again, friends, in the
-
midst of the storm, be of good cheer. It is I. Because
-
the usual is I because where you are right now is because I let you
-
here. Where you are right now, I let you. God never made
-
the mistake. You are bothered. But in a very challenging family situation,
-
it is I do not be afraid. It is I do not be afraid.
-
You're in the tough company and you felt God I let you there in
-
the first place. It is I do not be afraid. And many times
-
are alive. We are afraid because it cannot be because a good God will
-
never allow me to experience a win and the wave. But God allows to
-
go through because he wants to shake our heart. Because without the shaking there
-
will there will be no humility. You understand. Without the shaking, without
-
the moment of going through that there will be no humility. Friends, God
-
will always bring us to a place whereby we can not control the winds and
-
the waves. Yes, we can control the boat. We can control how
-
we roll, but you cannot control the winds and the wave even as they're
-
going to close right now, Friends, I just want to encourage you.
-
There's some things in life that's beyond your control, really beyond your control.
-
The winds. You've got money, how are you where you're going to chrow
-
money to the us to control the winds and the waves. Just you can't
-
be chewing at wins. I give you fifty thousand. Be still. You
-
can't be grabbed your bosses, they say, God, boss, I give
-
it that thousand. Okay, don't give me work. This is it's those
-
such things like your boss. I think the money actually give you work?
-
Okay. Then it can be friends, it can be that you use your
-
nature to control the supernatural about God would always be at a place whereby where
-
would you have finances? But some of us have health issues. So I
-
do have health issues. But we have finances, finances and help. It's
-
okay, but we do not know how to do with our life. You
-
know what I mean? There will be a moment whereby that thinks beyond our
-
control. That's why we need Jesus in our life. That's why we need
-
God and life because God will come in to us. Do not be afraid.
-
It is I so I want to encourage all of us here. Friends,
-
God was a minister to us. He says, do not doubt,
-
but only believe. Friends only got true with one point on the of my
-
message. I just truly believe that this is sufficient. Do not doubt,
-
but only belief. Do not doubt, but only believe. You know,
-
when you believe, our friends begin to expect. When you believe, you
-
begin to expect. Some of us here have very good friends, very good
-
friends, because you believe. On your birthday, Sorry you use the word
-
birthday, I'm not expecting you okay, but you believe. But you believe
-
on your birthday. Are you expect your good friends to at least remember your
-
birthday? On everybody the multitudes is okay because you're good friends. Because you
-
believe them, they will at least send you a text, Hey, happy
-
birthday. For the moment you don't receive your text, you could disappointed because
-
devis but you believe our friends, you stend to be disappointed on you know,
-
givers believe Jesus can heal what will happened? Yeah? My daughter,
-
my daughter, there's a chance she may be well. There's a chance that
-
she may be well. That comes to the woman with the issue of blood
-
in between, it must be a fault when to the journey. Your daughter
-
now was crying. Just do not what to say. But when you believe
-
this type of may we believe that there was a fifty to fifty that you
-
might be disappointed. That's why you just say that be of good cheer.
-
They decided to not be afraid. How can we overcome the things in our
-
life? Do not doubt, but only believe, don't It doesn't mean that
-
just because we've got the wet tossed around in the winds and the wave,
-
that God has abandonedness. It doesn't mean that just because we made a couple
-
of wrong choices investment that we lost everything. Then it can be that He
-
abandoned us. I know a particular brother who was actually very well to do
-
it, and I was hearing this possible sharing me about his testimony. He
-
said, you know, can you help this guy in my church well to
-
do but ninety nineties something, he lost everything everything men of wealth. Two
-
weeks later was selling rubber band and rough string, petty traders everything. That's
-
why where we counsel couples in our church. When I me and my wife,
-
you'll make marriage counseling. We just asked couples say, really, what
-
happened there? I mean, we don't wish it, but sometimes we make
-
bad choices. What happened? If you lose everything we used to haunt,
-
hold on to each other in your marriage or not we used to hold on
-
to each other, or you stop blaming each other and start killing each other.
-
Because if that's your top process, don't get married. It can be
-
you only rejoice when everything's okay. But when when? When? When?
-
When you don't have the security anymore? Then this marriage hambit. That's it.
-
Then, don't get married. It's marriage for richer for poorer friends.
-
We only remember we prayed for reaching one for poor. The wedding weals in
-
health, in sickness and in health. Someone once I remember when couples it
-
in sickness and in hell. Some of us need to believe again because not
-
believing, I think that we are all right because we don't tend to be
-
disappointed. But the moment we believe her to tend to be disappointed, or
-
whether God will bring us to them, that emotion, but all right.
-
The Bible says, do not be afraid. They desire to be of good
-
cheer. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more information on
