Ant-Man

Hey man, come on. Y'all. Let's give God a big hand of praise.

Let me you really chasing out the guy. There is nothing else. more Jesus It's one thing to say, you know what I'm a Christian but it's when it's another thing to be running after God, you know running after the things of God running after trying to live for God. There's a big difference of chasing after God stand on your feet and give God some praise.

I don't know about y'all, but I'm chasing after God Amen. Good morning, everyone. It's good to be in the house of the Lord this morning a man. We going to continue our series entitled won't he do it won't he do it. Have you ever been in a situation where God had to make a way out of no way? Molly doing I want to thank everyone who was part of the committee. We celebrated our 2-year anniversary last week a man. And so God bless you. I want to thank everyone who put time and effort and energy into making it an amazing time a man and then to Elder Howard for coming up and giving us that message on friendship a man. It's really important that you understand that it's Jesus is a friend a man cuz he what he did. He had to look past our faults and see the need amen. And so I I think Elder for that message and God using him in this and that way so today. We want talk about freedom from struggling and suffering a man you ever been in them situations where you just can't shake that thing. You no matter what you do for a minute. It might let you go. And then you seem to be dealing with it again and again amen. So we don't talk about freedom from some from struggling and suffering. Amen. So here's what I need you to do. I need you to stand to your feet. We going to read are foundational scripture, which is going to come from Romans chapter 8 and verse 32 Romans chapter 18 verse 32 And when it comes up if you have it in your Bible find it in your Bible. If not, it should be on the screen. Unless we get together is everyone there? All right. Let's read together since he did not spare even his own son, but gave him up for us all one of y'all. So give us everything else won't he do it? Amen, and I confession of Faith. Let's say that repeat this after me. I am not moved. By what I see. about what I feel I am moved by what I believe. I believe the word of God the victory is mine. I have it now. I can see it through the eyes of my faith. In Jesus name. Let's give God woman one more big hands of praise and you may be seated in the presence of the Lord. The last time we were together dealing with this message we started off by looking at Romans chapter 8 verses 1 through 17 and we talked about, you know, the fact that God could do anything a man only do what he what he can do anything. So I want to continue on moving down that that that chapter and we going to deal with this issue of suffering suffering and struggling a man. I I'm I'm at a point in my life where you know what sometimes you just get tired of struggling right? I mean on a personal level a man you just you know the stuff you keep doing over and over again, you don't want to do right. Anyway, I got any Witnesses here all y'all got it together. Amen. So it's so we want to look at what the Bible says about freedom from struggling and suffering now when we look at this next set of scripture, we going to see, you know, something amazing promises in the Bible a man you going to see how God is going to talk to each of us not only about Friend us from struggling and from suffering but also free in this world a man and all the creatures on this world and even the plants a man and so when God talks about this when Paul talks to the Romans about this he goes deep cuz it ain't just us that's going through a man. It's all the stuff around us this going through. You know, what that we don't we don't really understand that because when you going through you can't really see the fact that something else is going through a man. So so so walk with me through this enrollments in in this life in Romans chapter 8 verse 18, the Bible says in here it is yet what we suffer now hear me. Now what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory. He will reveal to us later interesting thing. We going to go through some stuff for a little while been going through some stuff. We will go through some stuff. But what the Bible says what we go through no matter how hard we think it is is no comparison to the blessing that God is going to give us I need you to get this because when you in the midst of going through and you wondering why you going through what you're going through you got to have a reference you got to be able to go somewhere and say yes. I'm going through this right now, but the end result. I'm going to have the glory in the blessings from God. Are you with me? And sometimes I got a text from a buddy of mine down in Atlanta. Who who we were one of those the State Farm agents was on a flight to a conference that had a heart attack on the plane and they had to take him out. He was one and a half miles away from the conference in the hospital and nobody knew. Right and so he was there in a coma for 2 weeks. And so when he came out and you know, he posted some stuff on Facebook and everybody was like, oh man, you know, we didn't know and this that and then somebody asked me bad things happen to good people. And I have to text him back. I said you don't know what God is doing. I don't understand all this. Is when I don't even try to understand all the things that God is there but one thing I do know that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord sport called according to his purpose. So no matter what you going through that that situation that he went through had to be something that he had to go to be a blessing to somebody else. Are you with me? So sometimes the suffering that we're going through it's not just because we've done something wrong. It's also to be a blessing to someone else are you with me? So when we talk about suffering suffering means struggling. Are spirits Waging War or trying to overcome this crazy situation called life? So so when we when we're struggling with supper supper, this is stuff that either has come at us or Toys R Us. Trying to deal with it because we are we have been left in the middle of this chaotic World a man and sometimes our spirit is fighting and trying to deal with stuff because it's not not necessarily all since the stuff around us. That's trying to impact us. Are you with me? Okay, so you haven't been in the room and and you wonder why you so exhausted and tired not that it was anything physically wrong, but your spirit is battling. It could be some stuff happening with some people in that room and you'll know why but all of a sudden you just tired, you know, you feel like you you in a battle or war and it's nothing you've done. It's just as some spirits around you

I'm trying to impact your spirit. Are you with me those of us who in customer service? We know when one of them customers get on the phone and they want to go with what other side you one side and down the other it's not you a man a man. So is your spirit battling that you don't say something out of character. Do I have any Witnesses amen? So so when you when you stop and think about the struggle that you're going through it's not because not a lot of times what you've done is because of the things that are round you are struggling to argue with me and when people are struggling and you're in the midst, you know, there's the same people hurt other people. Are you with me? And so sometimes you're going through a struggle? That's external because not because of something you did, but because of the things that are round you are hurting are you with me? It's Apollo's talking to the church in Rome and he only talks about your spirits overcoming this struggle this flesh.

And sometimes it what it is is described as a weight. When you're going through it could be a way to fighting the overcome you ever a long time ago when we got the little ones in here. So anyway, long time ago if you've ever been in caught up in something. Right and God delivered you from me a man when when you were in it until I can wait. Especially when you wanted to change what you were doing. Y'all know what I'm talking about, right? It could be you name it, right, but it is as you live life when you go through stuff and you want to change you realize that you Karen Karen with you a weight. It could be an in that way could be a way to depression weight of anxiety, you know weight of frustration mean lot of things can be going on when you're trying to change an especially for those who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lawrence saving they're trying to make a change. They realize the people around sometimes people wrong don't have their best interest at heart a man. Are you with me? Okay, so so then you struggle because sometimes you want to go back and be with the folks that you used to be but God keeps pulling you in a different direction a man. And so that can be a struggle right there. Amen. Just dealing with you know, it's things like abuse right stuff that happened to you when you were little, you know, internalizing that stuff in trying to put it in a place where you can continue to move forward and yet when you think you've got control over it come to Pops right back up a man, you know it and then you wonder why am I feeling like this why it's a struggle a man tells you you have no control over that book. When you when things happen to you when the people who are supposed to be taken care of you don't do what they're supposed to do a man. I'm talking to somebody cuz I'm trying to help somebody put the reality of the situation in place so that they can give it to God when the folks was supposed to take care of you. Don't take care of you and let things happen to you. Amen. Then you have Good deal with it. I'm going to tell you this to forgive. Don't carry that way. Are you with me? I don't know why they want to act like I come culture don't go through stuff. amen So listen to here's a challenge as Believers, we got to take all of this stuff that's coming out us the struggles that we have and we got to put them under Jesus Christ. See my thoughts when people come at me crazy My Flesh wants to rise up amen. But I have to put that under Christ. Amen. I have to put it under the door the word of God. I got to let the word of God have control over everything. Amen. Because if I don't then I'll be out of character and I'll be doing things that God never intended for me to do a man.

So we struggle at times to overcome our flesh. We struggled a overcome this world we struggle man. I'm tell you I'm struggling cuz I'm getting older any Witnesses in the house, you know, just a menu stuff. I'm struggling because I'm like this because I was younger I never thought about it. But now when I wake up, that's a blessing. Seriously, I never ever thought about it when I was younger, but now that I'm the angel that I made I'm still young don't forget way, but when I wake up I'm thinking about the friends that I've lost the family members that I've lost and when I opened up my eyes, that's a blessing. Two struggling with getting older and struggling with the issues of your body deteriorate in and changing and going through the things that you're going through those our struggles. Are you with me? Now for those of us who struggled all of us struggling with some kind of sin. Come on, y'all don't y'all get religious and holy on me now. Amen. It could be anger. It could be you. It don't have to be all the ones that people want to blast on social media could be those those little ones. You know, I'm just I'm just, you know frustrated about stuff. So we're struggling with that. Those are all struggles that God is saying he's already delivered us from but we keep holding on to him. So here's what I want us to see no matter what suffering we go through. We got deal with it to be Overcomers. And what you have to go through may be different than what I have to go through but I'mma go through something you going to go through something, but you have to go through it to be an overcomer because in the at the end the end of it the blessing is more than what you going through. Are you with me and see when you stop and think about it. Going to do some amazing things in your life? Here's what I do know he can take you from over here when you don't know what to do to operating in abundance. Now y'all not hear me. He can take you from over here when you done messed up and don't know what to do to a place where he's blessing you and sealing Lee abundantly won't he do it. Do I have any witnesses that God can take you from a place of nothing to a place of abundance won't he do it? And then here's the problem here. No, not a problem when you're over here you struggling but God is still helping you fight yourself through it. Amen. He still you still struggling but God keep bring you through it and some moment you one day you look up and you like, how did I get here? It was God doing it all alone. Even in the midst of your struggle. So some of those things you just got to turn over to God. Does that make sense? Does that make sense? It's on 1st Peter chapter 1 verses 6 & 7 Bible says, so be truly glad Cuz there is wonderful joy ahead even though you must endure many trials for a little while verse 7 says these trials will show that your face is genuine. It is being tested as fire testing purifies go though. Your faith is more precious than mere go. So when your face remain strong through many trials, it would bring you much praise and glory and honor of the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. Does that make sense? So I'm going through. Yeah, I'm going through I'm struggling. Yes, I'm struggling and and maybe you can't fix my struggle and I can't fix your struggle. But at the end of the day, it's testing my faith in Jesus Christ. And so I'm not going to give up who he is to me. No matter what I have to go through. I'm not going to change. I'm not going to quit. I'm going to quit. I'm going to keep serving him. Imma keep listing them up. I'm going to keep praising him because I know whatever I'm going through is a test of my face. Are you with me when things don't work out the way I want them to work out. That's a testing my face when people don't do what they say. They're going to do in my aunt for me or with me. That's a test of my faith. I still got to keep moving for when they don't show up. I still got to keep moving for when the button to show up. I still got to keep moving no matter what you doing. You still got to keep moving for it cuz it's a test of your face. Do I have any Witnesses hear? You haven't been going through and it seem like you all by yourself. God is testing your face because in your face should never been in that stuff or those people it should always have been and God. Does that make sense? Does that make sense T. I come to realize that suffering prepares us to participate in the glory of God. Yeah, I missed it. Cuz we got to be careful cuz the devil is told us you don't have it. Now. If everything I ain't right. There's something wrong with you know, she got done making me stronger in my his taking my face to the gym and every time I go through I get stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger. I can lift more I can deal with more I can handle more because God is Chester muffin. So when you going through tell somebody I'm just in the gym. Hey, man, I'm in the face Jim. Amen. And I'm getting stronger and stronger and strong enough that will you can't break me? I might been that way might be a little heavy. But if I keep pushing I keep pushing and keep her pretty soon. I'm going to be heading over come that.

So I thought I'd come to realize suffering and struggles are refining process. We got to get through this refining cuz we don't go through something. You won't know who you are. Always chest people. I don't trust people don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about me. This ain't about me but like always test people when they go through you find the real character of a person when they are in a situation where it's challenging see the stuff that comes out of their mouth. That's the real stuff always telling people around me know I said whatever is on the inside of ventrally will come out a man so you can be cute all you want to for a little I'll let you let you get tested and the real you going to show up a man. So so don't know I say that to say this don't be shocked by people. I don't care what title that carry I don't care. If I don't care what position a hoe don't be shocked by them cuz the real person will come out as soon as they get tested. amen

Toy Story man see the future suffering and struggling in this present World concept, but we got to sometimes we can't stay right here. We don't think about what God is going to do. Are you with me now, you know the most amazing thing that happens to me when I go to hospital visitations or I go to prison ministry, right? I'm thinking I'm doing them a favor. Let me tell you it's some strong Warriors laying in the hospital bed. Is some strong Warriors in a prison cell and I got to tell you every time I do that I come out a better person. And I'm going to tell you if you really want to do something go visit a hospital and just be there to pray with people. That's all you got to do. Just say I'm just available. I just want to pray with you. Watch what happens to you. If you think you impacted them. They going to change your life. Amen. They will change your life. Amen. They will tell you maybe you ain't got nothing to worry about you can still get up and walk out of here, but they won't have a joy. That's unspeakable going to a hospital room and be available for someone that you think is going through. And they going to bless you. Amen. Romans chapter 8 verse 18 says for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in Us in Colossians chapter 3 and verse for the Bible says and when Christ hit me out and when Christ who is your life?

And when Christ who is your life is reveal the whole world you will share in the glory. TCC when there's going to be a let me leave that alone cuz he people be like all he's getting into his self and I'll tell you what the Bible said. There's going to be a time when Christ is revealed that we will share and all of that Glory. So whatever you imagine that glory to be that's that should be enough to say, you know what I'm going to get through this struggle right now. Are you with me? Are you with a man? In 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 verse 17 and 18 says for present troubles are small hit me out for a present troubles are small and it won't last very long in trouble. Don't last always that's the truth. That's biblically-based. They won't last that long in the Bible says yet. They produce Glory that actually always them and will last forever Bernstein said so we don't look at the troubles we can see now rather we fix our Gaze on things that cannot be seen for the things we see now will soon be gone.

But the things we cannot see will last forever. See what you whatever you going through right now is going to be gone. Whatever the problem is, whatever the persecution is, whatever the struggle is going to be gone. So you can fix your eyes on the future. What a glorious and I will give you strength to say I can enjoy this everyday I get up. I can enjoy this. I'm going to go through I can enjoy this no matter what they say. I can enjoy this because I know what's going to happen to me in the future. Does that make sense? We need some people to quit breaking and just letting God then the situation been to miss too many of us breaking and God can use us because now there's nothing left we giving up on everything are you with me? Because we forgotten why we're going through the struggle. We're going to the struggle refine us a man to make us better to get us ready for the glory of God. Amen get us ready for Jesus coming back where we can participate in that and be the kings and queens that God originally.

In 1st Peter chapter 5 verse or the Bible says and when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of NeverEnding Glory and Honor. So I got something to work towards a man. I got some to work to her. I got a gift that God has waiting for me if I can overcome when I got to go through here on this side of Heaven. Does that make sense?

So we need to shift gears. That's about us y'all but it ain't just about it. We're not the only ones here. There's a there's a whole creation here. And here's the deal. and the creation is struggling to look look. Look what the Bible in Romans chapter 8. Where's my team and let me tell you this? I really didn't understand this until you know, how you read the Bible you read stuff and you read stuff. And then finally the Holy Spirit open up your understanding to some reason. I mean when I read the scripture many many times and so I'm reading and then finally like a light bulb. It opens up.

It says for all creation is waiting eagerly eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.

Let me tell you they waiting on us. Yeah, I know it blew my mind too. Y'all got that. This is blowing my mind password.

Listen what it says all creation is waiting. The Bible says all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really. TC here's what happened in verse 20 against its will all creation was subjected to God's curse. But even though they were too it was subjected to God's curse and weights with hole.

Where's 21 says the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God's children and glorious freedom from death and decay. First $0.22 for we know that all creation has been groaning as in the Pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Now, here's what I realized the word creation refers to everything on the man animals plant plants minerals soil everything earthquakes and hurricanes and stuff because the creation is groaning and suffering something's happening you like why this is happening over here in this is happening over here in this is happening because of creation is groaning. This stuff ain't just happening in the NFL put under a curse and is waiting for God to reveal his children. So everything could get back to where it's supposed to be.

what it says in first 20 in Romans chapter 8 verse 24, the creation meaning nature was subjected to Frailty to futility Continental frustration not because of some intention. On expired but by the will of him who subjected it with the end with yet with hope and other words when Adam send everything went down.

This is what I know. They waiting for us.

to get ourselves together

and until then creation suffers see you don't have just a small part in this. Everything we do impacts everything around us. Are you with me?

Genesis chapter 3 verse 17 then to Adam he said No pants. Ladies no offense wise.

But you have heated the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree which I commanded you saying you shall not eat of it cursed is the ground for your sink in toil. You shall eat of it all the days of your life. So when that relationship got all crazy. and when we disobey God everything was impact.

see This world was made for a damn or Adam or man to live in the world for us to live in in in the end. Everything. We needed was here and everything was perfect. But he says I'm going to give you everything you need one thing don't do.

The trees all the food back there you can eat off.

one thing just one thing you can have everything else. But one thing and I say this again how many of us focusing on the one thing we don't need when we got everything else? And the one thing we don't need you searched all of our time effort and energy when we have so many other blessings. So he says because of that. the whole ground is Curse

So because of that now I got to tell you this cuz maybe when you walk out of here, you'll look at this whole world a little differently. See see so many so so many of us are concerned only with ourselves.

But it's bigger than that y'all. and maybe when you go out We can appreciate everything that God has done for us the Sun keeps coming up.

It rained a little bit yesterday. So some ground got watered a man, which means some seeds got what it needed which means some plants going to grow right? Amen.

You can hear what I'm saying. This thing is bigger than us that food back there, especially them vegetables and stuff. We require the sun to be shining in the ground to be what it's supposed to be infertile and and and the water to be there and we added some stuff that we probably shouldn't had but God still allows the food to come. amen

But it's even a struggle for that because of scene. Are you with me? I always think about earthquakes and tornadoes and storms and disease and starvation and attacks and struggles man like

and we can trace it back to when Adam. disobey God Amen now

the great thing about it is he doing what are you doing in Revelations chapter 21 verse 1 in the Bible says then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth won't he do it he going to take the battery make it good. Amen. He said what I meant. It's this thing is so bad. I'm going to create a new one won't he do it whenever you're in always go back to whenever you going through something. You ain't going to do it still take the ball and make it good. No matter what you think you're going through God always has a plan for us when we do it. Check this out. Check this out you blew my mind and Isaiah chapter 11 verse 6 7 8 9 mm / 6. It says the wolf and the lamb will live together.

The Left Alive down with the baby go potty do it the top and the yearly will be safe with the lion and a little child will leave them all for $0.07 check this off. The cow will grades near the bear. The Cubs in the calf will lie down together the lion horse eat. Hay like a cow. Booty do it why you don't even see it good up there. But look at what it says the baby will play safely your the whole of a cover Cobra a little China put his hand in the nest of deadly snake without harm. What are you doing? I'm telling you. He going to fix this situation first nine says nothing and nothing hurt or destroy and all my Holy Mountain for us as the water spill the sea. So the Earth will be filled with people who know the Lord. It's all going to be new is all going to be no. It's all going to be knew. He wasn't done looking creature in heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and in the sea and they sang Come on praise team blessings and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the lamb forever and ever. Every Creature will give Every Praise Every Creature. It's all going to be new a man. sodium free from corruption

just Romans chapter 8 verse 20 through y'all stay with me is are you getting anything out of this this make sense? Amen? Looking what the Bible says and we Believers also grown. Even though we had the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory for we long for our bodies to be released from sin in the Bible says that we long for her, but I don't want to have to do the stuff that my body does that so I know it's not right and I still keep doing it. Maybe it's just me. I got any other Witnesses you keep doing stuff. You don't want to do and stuff you want to do you don't do I call that the pulse syndrome? Amen? Paul said it a man with what the Bible says. She says we to wait with finger hole for the day when God will give us full rights as his adopted children including the new body has promised us.

Welcome to keep doing what you doing. I ain't got to worry about no plastic surgeon. Amen. God already got my new body waiting for me a man sees no matter what it looks like right now in the new body. Amen, and it won't have no sickness in it and they won't have no dancing in it and it won't take when I wake up a man and I don't have to worry about my ankle swelling a man and not worry about back problems. And I ain't got to worry about headaches and migraines and all of the won't he do it. Amen cuz I'm looking forward to the new body. Amen. That's what God has promised me in person for the Bible says we were given this whole when we were saying, If we already have something we don't need it need to hope for it. So the Bible says we've given this whole bike at that whole the moment. I accept Jesus Christ first 25 says, but if we look forward to something we don't yet have we must wait patiently and confidently it belongs to me. I just could be patient. Are you with me? Lee verse 26 and the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, here we go this week even on the pastor. Let me tell you. I'm just like everybody else for the Bible says we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words and let me listen. Let's make this plane you get on your knees to pray. A nice thing, you know you waking up.

Oh, sorry. That's just me. And if it or maybe y'all ain't praying.

oops

Listen, listen, listen.

So sometimes you know, you know, you should pray but you don't know what to pray for. Here's what I'm going to tell you. Get on web. Your prayer closet is let me tell you this is so it's easy to pray for things, you know to pray for right somebody sick. They said pastor pray for me. I know what to pray for people. Let me know specifically what you want me to pray for it. So when I go in the water, I know what I'm going to war with right but there are those times that you is you have a burden on your spirit and you don't know what to pray for don't don't think that God don't know this you just do what you can and the Holy Spirit will take over the Bible. The Bible says that the holy spirit will take over and it'll be like groanings a man.

What my text said. Oh, okay. So it says what the holy spirit in verse 26 prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words first 27 and the father who knows all heart knows what the spirit is saying for the spirit please for us Believers in harmony with God's Own will so you ain't got to worry about all you got to do is just do what you can and God knows your heart. Are you with me? God knows your heart. She sometimes you know people tell me why I can't pray cuz so and so pray so eloquently and so give God your heart. Whatever even if nothing comes out. No that isn't it God knows your heart and that the Holy Spirit grabbed it and he sent it up to heaven and God knows cuz it's in line with his will are you with me? Are you with me? Some of us stop our blessings? Because we trying to be inactive praying and praise like everybody else you be you are you with me?

Listen here. First 26 says the spirit helps our weaknesses our infirmities. So whatever our particular weaknesses is that weakness, which of the spiritual help if we truly sincerely and our sincere wrestling with prayer then the spirit helps us to control a couple of things look at here. See the spirit will come in control your concentration.

The sparrow bullet will control distractions in your life. Animal Control wandering thoughts emotional changes and affection to my said how because as we struggle to Pray by controlling our flesh and its weakness the Holy Spirit takes our minds and emotions.

Let me let that sink in. The Holy Spirit when you struggling in the flesh will take over in the spirit.

So sometimes you think man I didn't do what I what I was supposed to if your heart was right, and you said God help me to pray. God help me to control my flesh. See see here's the deal when you when you think you can do it. That's when it all falls apart. But when you say God help me the Holy Spirit kicks in this I got that cuz I know where your heart is coming from. Are you with me? I know that's even though my flesh is weak my hardest and God I want to come I want you to control it. I don't want to do the things. I've always done hurt people. You know, I'm not even going there. Y'all know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah, I love for Sundays cuz I had to edit myself a man. I love those little ones here cuz they do like

and they'll go home in like Mommy Daddy's Pastor said is she going to be like you ain't in church now?

I'm just playing. I'm just playing the Bible talks about the about the Holy Spirit making intercession for us with groanings which cannot be understood and sometimes the struggles in the sufferings of this life. I'm so happy. We can't bear them sometimes matters of such importance group our hearts to such an extent that words are impossible sometimes our emotions become too much for work. Sometimes when you come off in the presence of God, have you ever been lost in the presence of God? Have you ever been like that on this is too much. This is being you too big for me.

sometimes it can be overwhelming. Not even knowing what to say or do. Well lookie what 1st Chronicles 16:11 says search for the lore. and for his strength continually seek him. Don't stop if you don't think you've got any answer don't stop keep searching. Keep seeking for God. Keep searching and keep seeking forgot and Matthew chapter 7 verse 7. I love this. The Bible says keep on asking Lord. I don't understand keep on asking. I just don't make sense. You don't ask you don't stop because your first the first time you asked you don't get an answer. The Bible says keep on asking and you will and you will receive what you ask for. Be careful. What you ask for a man y'all with me. Somebody told me they ask for a husband and they

Be careful what you ask for it man, but the Bible clearly says keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find keep on knocking and the door will be open to you won't he do it.

In verse 28 in Romans chapter 8 verse 28. Here's the thing that does this kind of ties this whole thing together and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are called according to his purpose for us $0.29 for whom he foreknew. He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the firstborn among many Brethren. Here's something I got to tell some folks here. Who might be running from some things? You were predestined. I don't care. How hard you run.

You know how I know I'm a living witness a man. Y'all don't know where I came from. Amen and Under The Rock I crawled out from a man. But let me tell you won't he do it ain't me? Let me tell you God will take nothing and make something out of it. Amen. See God works all things out for those who love him. This is this is how I know I've been delivered cuz I love you know, what there was a time. I didn't even know God there's a time. I didn't want to spend any time with God, but then when he came and saved my life and I accepted him as my personal Lord and Savior, I begin to love him. So it's funny how people be like

Are you with me?

And when you make up your mind, the Bible says all things work together for good to those who love God. To those who are called according to his purpose. All things that's a declaration not some things. All things whether you think it's good or bad it's part of all things and it's all working together for your good are you with me? It's all done with my body aches and I don't understand my finances and don't we just resting and and going through trials and tribulations? I do know all things work together everything that's happening is happening for a reason for me a man. And so I go back to the Bible and I say God your word says all things work together for good to those who love God who are called according to his purpose the God. I love you and he says wait and be patient.

So that's what I'm going to tell y'all wait and be patient because no matter what you going through no matter how challenging it is all things work together for good amen. And so that you may not understand that you may not see it. It may not make sense. But always go back to the scripture and say God your word says all things work together. So this is part of the old things. They meant no matter what you going through. Does that make sense won't he do it?

You know what? I think about all things. Nothing brings me more joy, cuz then I'll have to figure out anything. Cuz I know all things no matter what's going on. God is going to work it out. And here's the interesting thing. This will not be the first time. God is work something out in your life. So don't be like, oh my God. This is the worst thing that has ever have. No. The last thing was the worst thing that happened a man then he work that out. Amen. So it's always the worst thing but God is always working. And also if he worked it out back didn't want to work it out when he doing some running to do it. He'll work it out any man. So I can understand that God is in control over all things all events, you know himself when they ask me. Why do why do bad things happen to good people? All I can do is say all things work together for good.

I don't have to understand it. All I have to do is believe what the word of God says. That's why I'm not confession of faith. We don't what I see and what I hear and I believe the word of God, they could stuff won't make sense to me. When I look at it what people are going through in the challenges they have in the circumstance. It don't make sense. But then I have to go back to the the word of God and I'm saying God these are good people. Why is this happening? And he keeps saying all things work together for good. Amen. And so when you went when it don't make sense to you go back to the word of God where the god declares that all things work together a man. So we're together means all things continually work together. These don't stop the soup is what I see God creates and eliminates.

So some people ain't in your life. All things work together for good. Amen. God places and replaces I'm here in California. I'm from Chicago. All things work together for good I got to tell you. I know all things work together for good because head I'm not been there. I mean had got not placed me here. I would have been my wife and that's the best thing that ever happened to me. Even though she telling me I'm running out of time maybe.
