Enduring the Race

11-10-19
Pastor Michael
Heb 12:1 Let us run with endurance.
We go through seasons-serve God through all
seasons.  Have an everyday excitement of what
God is doing. Sometimes we lose sight of what
God is doing.  12:3 May  grow weary. People
having a hard time facing life.  God knows what you
are going through.  No one deserves what God gives
us. Live everyday with anticipation.  IF it concerns
you, it concerns God.  Sometimes we don’t understand
but God can show us something through every situation.
God can change something in an instant.  Some things
drag out.  Building.  Live by faith.  It’s for eternity.
We find God when we look for Him.
God is for us.  He is not against us. He believes in you
in your weaknesses. Rev 3:15  I know your works-lukewarm.
Everyday is a battle.  God shows you how to overcome.
Cure is action-stir up your faith. 2 Tim 1:6  Fan into flame
the gift of God. No matter-don’t give up! If you endure, you
WILL make it through.  Get in the Word of God.  Have to
feed your spirit to stay filled up spiritually.  You affect people
around you every day. Phil 3:14 I press on. Live for Him a
righteous life.  It takes discipline to keep the faith where it
needs to be.  You have courage to face whatever you have to face.
All have struggled 1 Cor 10:13 We are able to endure. 2 Tim 4:1
FIND A WAY. Get in the Word to find answers.  No time to waste.
Phil 1:6 He will bring it to completion. Get back on track-reset.


Moving Into Uncharted Territory

Sunday AM
Pastor Gloria
 
The Steps of the Righteous man are ordered of God;
and He delights in his ways. Psalm 37:23
Who is ready to go deeper with the Lord?
You can’t just do your own thing.
Learn Obedience.  Learn to wait.
God is going to do something in the church.
Quit being critical of everyone.
Do what God tells you to do.
Mark 10:18
We are ambassadors.  He is the leader.
Obey the voice of God.
Josh 3:1-17
Crossing over.  Going through.
Something good is getting ready to happen.
Stay when God tells you to stay.
You are on assignment.
Having done all to stand, stand.
Sometimes there is a waiting period in a
situation that is going to take God.
Sometimes God lets you get desperate.
We are in a period now of mercy in this nation.
Wait til you see God.
At the end of waiting… they turned.
Wait til you see the presence of God.
Make no move til you know that God is in it.
Stick it out..
God is in the uncharted territory.
Joshua had a vision.
Have God’s vision.
Follow the one who has God’s vision.
Isa 61:10
Leave old self behind.  Old things have to be
laid down.  God’s got your back.  He wants to
take you into uncharted territory. God has a plan
for you.
Be faithful.
If God doesn’t correct you, you are not His.
After God’s heart-walk in love.
Be unmovable-one place-abound in the Word of God.
Moving the church into uncharted territory.
 
Sunday PM (continued)
Isa 6:1 You have to have an encounter before you
realize how awesome God is. “He can do that!”  Receive it.
Push into the realm of the supernatural.
Lord is high and lifted up. God is excellent in all His ways.
We are in His keeping. We don’t have tp succomb to a bunch of
junk in our lives. Something has to happen to plug them in.
When you are totally sold out-
Nothing is impossible.
God is above all.  God uses ordinary people.
Righteous are led by God. Must have revelation.- I
can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me.
If you are having a battle, it’s the devil.
Rev 1:12 When yuou realize you are a friend of God,
find out for yourself. When God reveals something to you
it’s for a reason.  You need an encounter to know He’s
extraordinary.  Then God starts revealing. This extraordinary
God wants you to know you are called by Him.

in unity.  Don’t let the world offend you and change you.
You can’t reform yourself.
Romans 12:2
There is help on the way.  Church as to have power.  Church
must recognize the work of the enemy
In the last days ther will be manifestations of God’s power.
God wants hearts on fire. Something for each one to do
personally.
Dangerous hour-on the verge of war.  God is looking for
someone who is ready for change.  Have to be willing to
change.
Renew your mind.  Take what’s not good out and put what’s
good in.  PUt of the Word of God in. Live like Jesus showed us to live.

when everything is great.  Rejoicing takes you to
another level.  In the middle of the storm cry out
to God.
Who is first in your life? There is power in rejoicing.
When you praise Him, He comes down.
Don’t let satan steal your joy.  Recognize the enemy.
He wants to cover himself. Even though there is turmoil
around you, you can have joy.  Stand firm. Don’t be
influenced by things around you.  Having done all
to stand, stand.  At any given moment God can use
you.
God can’t use people He can’t trust. There is power in
rejoicing.
Phil 3:1

If you will not be reformed.
Walk contrary.
You will be punished 7 times for your sins.
If you walk contrary to God, He will walk contrary to you.

There is more than you reforming yourself.
Praise God for grace! We would all be guilty.
Romans 8:3,4 Law-flesh-God sending His own son (Powerful-
read it all)
Law of flesh-requires a penalty.
