Summary: God is beautiful, mysterious and complicated. We may not always understand how God is working in our lives, but we can trust that He has a big and beautiful plan for us. We should not lose our focus on Him and instead, fix our eyes on Him. Circumstances steal our strength, but when we focus on God, He gives us strength to face what lies ahead. We should take advantage of every opportunity to connect with God, even the simple moments. God wants our cups to overflow and we should trust in Him. We thank God for all that He has done and all that He will do in our lives.
God is so beautiful and he is so beautiful, so mysterious, so complicated that there are times when one does not have words or how to express it. There are times when one has no way of being able to understand everything that God can do in the midst of our lives when we decide to truly trust Him, when we decide to surrender to his plans, to his purposes for us. That there are times when on a human level one says like wow, where is this going to come from, or what is going to happen to that, or what is going to happen with this that they told me, with this news that I received?
But look brothers, God is above all these things. God is above all that. And I tell you, I share this with you brothers who see us on the internet, I don't know how God is going to continue working, intervening in the midst of our lives, but I do dare and I dare to think that what God has It's going to be something big and beautiful. That even through the circumstances of life that we may be going through, no matter how difficult, no matter how confusing they may be, God in one way or another is going to make his way, his way and the way that you also need, there is something that God is going to do.
I believe that what remains for us, my brothers, is that we do not lose our focus, we do not lose our north, which is found in Him. It is very easy for us to focus on the circumstance, but there is something that I have verified and I continue to verify. , that when we take our eyes off the circumstances and fix our eyes on Him, things take a totally different turn.
People that you did not tolerate before, suddenly you begin to feel a special love grace for him or her, or for them. Suddenly a situation that had you totally confused, confused and you didn't know how you were going to proceed, suddenly your mind opens up and you say like wow, this definitely already came from God. A business in which you are involved that seemed somewhat complicated, that seemed like it was not going to have a way out, suddenly God takes charge of putting everything in its place and everything runs.
The loss of a loved one that is something you have been carrying for a long time and that hurts you, and you still feel that emptiness. And when we take our eyes from that situation and put them on the Lord, in a mysterious way that I don't know how to explain, God takes care of filling that space. Because we are finding our strength in Him and not in circumstances. Listen well, circumstances steal your strength, they steal your energy. But when we set our sights on God and we look at ourselves as He looks at us, as his sons, as his daughters, then He gives us strength to be able to grasp what lies ahead.
So I encourage you my brothers, don't give up, don't get tired, I'm telling myself too, I'm preaching to the preacher. Let's not give up, let's not get tired, as the Scripture says, let's not get tired of doing good. Let's not get tired of doing those things that God asks of us. Even the simplest things my brothers, even if it is five minutes in the morning, if we are like this in the midst of the day, even if it is five minutes that we can focus, focus our minds on the Lord and say: Lord, I give you my day, I give you my plans, help me to see You Lord in the midst of this situation.
Look at moments like those can make a difference. Even when you lie down to sleep, lie down as the Psalm says: "In peace I will lie down and likewise I will sleep because You Lord make me live confident." Don't go to bed wondering where the money is going to come from. Don't go to bed wondering when your child is going to do the things you're asking him to do. Do not go to bed thinking about when your husband, your wife is going to understand the secrets of your heart because perhaps he will not understand them, but go to bed thinking that God is with you, and that in Him you can trust, that in Him you can be confident.
Every opportunity, my brothers, every opportunity we have to connect with Him in some way or another, let us not look down on those simple moments. If suddenly a brother or sister calls you, just to know how you are, see God in that call, it's not just so-and-so who called you, see God there in that call. A song that suddenly came on the radio and that song kind of gave you something, go to God there. Moments like these my brothers.
Look, I do because I'm promoting Wednesday services, I'm honest. These moments my brothers make a difference. Every time that we have an opportunity to come together as a body, look, let's take advantage of those opportunities. On Mondays when the Ministry of intercession meets, if you have a gift of intercession look, iron with iron is sharpened. Rub your shoulders, your elbows with other people who have the gift of intercession as well so that those gifts in you keep running.
If you need to renew your drink on Wednesday nights, look, take advantage, we are here, we are here. Spread the word if you know someone else who's out there picking their bones from time to time, tell them hey come with me on a Wednesday night. And look, don't waste moments like these. Whether they lay their hands on you or not, the mere fact that you come here and draw near to the Lord, remember that when we do that we are doing it as a declaration of faith, as a declaration of commitment.
Look at it this way. The chair is your condition, your nature, your reality, the everyday. When you get out of your chair and come forward, see that as a step of faith where you are moving. Look Lord, I am moving in Your dimension, I want to deliver these things into Your hands. Pray for me, don't pray for me, give me lightning, don't give me lightning, put oil on me, don't put oil on me, Lord, I am putting my trust in You.
Look, let's not underestimate that my brothers, God moves in any way. God wants your cup, my cup to overflow. God does not want people with lamps half full or half empty, God wants people, God wants sons, God wants daughters, with full lamps, overflowing. Because He knows your condition very well, He knows very well what you experience day after day, He knows very well those things that want to steal your energy, and because He knows those things well, He knows how to make your cup overflow.
Take advantage of every opportunity you have to connect with Him. Take him out, take the juice out of God. God has juice to give you, get the juice from Him, He wants you to do it.
Aha, do you want to share something? Aha, that juice hit him a lot today here definitely.
Woman: Good evening, this afternoon I spent a day at the mering, at my local 615 where we were renewing the contract, and I had pain in my back, I felt such strong pain, so strong, and that's how I left to the store with my strong pain and I came here and said, well this is from the Lord. When we were now there holding hands, I felt that the blessing of the Lord came to me and the Lord told me: I have to look up and he took me like this, he kept me like this back, and all that was in the name of Jesus.
Pastor: Amen, amen, amen, thank you Lord. Thank you Jesus, thank you God, thank you Lord for those things that You do in our lives my God. Father tonight has been a unique night my God, You make it unique, You make it different. And Father, we are leaving here tonight with Your blessing, we are leaving with Your coverage, we are leaving strengthened, renewed, filled with You, Lord. Father, may this blessing not slip away from us quickly, Lord, but may it last, may Jesus endure, may it remain there deep in our being, in our hearts and continue to give us energy so that we can make the most of life, Lord, for Your Glory and Your honor Lord.
Because we know that when we do it like this for You God, You are in charge of bringing Your blessings to our life Lord. So Father, we are not just here for the benefits of being in touch with you Lord, we are here because we long for You, we want You Lord, we hunger and thirst for You Jesus. And You are our everything, You are our center, You are our reason for being.
So Father, we are trusting in You. And once again we thank you. Thank you again for all you have done and all you will do. Bless each one of my brothers and sisters Jesus, guide them well to their homes Lord and that You grant them a deep, restful rest tonight, and that tomorrow if You allow it so Jesus we can face everything that the day brings Lord and see Your hand working in a mighty way. We thank you Lord and in Your name we pray and close this time, amen Lord Jesus, thank you God, thank you Lord.
