I wanted to take time this morning to share a little bit about what's going on and also to preach a little bit to you this morning as well. But if you can and will let's stand together for the reading. chapter 10 beginning with verse 12 on our screen this morning. We want to talk a little bit this morning about I just feel like something good is about to happen. That's been a thought that's been up on my mind for a bunch of days about to you know, I think we've seen enough bad. Amen. We've heard enough bad. It's been all around about us wherever we been. It's been a constant updates and different things that we can get away from different things. But I want to reassure everyone today as we look at the scripture in 1st Corinthians 10. God is still in control and God has a plan and God is going to bring us through whatever those difficulties may be 1st Corinthians chapter 10 verse 12. God is good all the time Boy That sounds good First Corinthians 10:12 word of God says, so if you think you are standing firm be careful that you do not fall. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to Mankind and God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it this time like to go to God In Prayer Nick. Would you like to lead us in a prayer please? Lord thank you that we're here today probably know that there are several that that haven't been able to make it Lord. We just pray for them as well. We thank you that they are able to listen in for how you've been with us over the last few weeks. And then Lord we know that it's been a trying time to Father are facing you is kept going and we thank you for that and longer just enjoying our time here at the message that will hear something that would touch each and every heart and lower that it would glorify your Son.

You may be seated and God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. I know there's some powerful passage of scripture from Genesis over to Revelations and a lot of verses that we all try to have in our memory that we can use at different things very powerful passage of scripture. When you look at those words and God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear Boy that's powerful isn't it? To think about what God is saying to the church and Paul was talking to them about the situations that they were going through and the difficulties that they were having and the things that was Going on there inside of the church and a lot of the folks were in despair. A lot of folks were wondering about what their life look like and not only what their life look like the what the church was going to look like and exactly what God expected from them. We know today that we serve an awesome God amen-ra God that supplies all of our needs and a God that even before you get into situations. God knows what that situation is and not only does he know what that situation is going to be God knows that he is going to what he's going to be with you all every step of the way and God also knows what you're going to need to be able to overcome that A year ago. Could you ever think that we would be where we are today? A year ago. Could you ever thought about folks not being able to go to work folks not being able and being asked to stay at home for not being able to leave the state of Kentucky folks dealing with all of these type of things and and updates and news breaks and all of these things that we have went through in this past few months. But I believe today that we all agree that our God is bigger than the problems of the world. Our God is stronger than anything that we can face in our life and our God can bring us through those things in our life when I think about Memorial Day, what a beautiful day for us to be able to come back to the church today. We went through a lot in the past week and we've seen a lot of Warriors and a lot of folks and done a lot of Things for our church and for our community and to think about today, I am glad to be an American today. And not only am I proud to be an American today. I'm proud to say that truly. We still see it ever work in America in what we trust in God we trust and God is with us and all of these things that we are dealing with in our lives today. But think about we wouldn't be able to have today without the men and women that have laid down their life for us to have freedom ones that have given of themselves to help us to be able to have freedom to be able to Worship in God's house and to do those things for us and I'm sure on this Memorial Day as we think about the ones that have left us and the ones that we have lost here in this church this past year. God still has the word for us. What? He will never leave us nor forsake us that God is here with us that God is making us stronger that God is giving us what we need in our life to continue his wheel I believe and I hope everybody here is going to say Amen to this that we're going to come out of this stronger than we've ever been before. Amen. And that God is going to show us how truly that something good is about to happen. Something good is on its way. He has promised that he'll open all of Heaven. Can you picture that in your Brian right now?

I was preaching. My phone rang and Sheila had to take it outside and take a call on the front porch and course. It was a place as asking some questions and I was in here preaching to myself.

And somehow right when Sheila went out that door. It was like that heaven disorder opened up a little bit. And I could feel that presence of God and feel how wonderful he was doing what God wants to do that for you today to he wants you to know that you're not going to please not going to put more on you than you can withstand and bear in your life. But he's also going to open up heaven to you. What does that feel like? Well, I feel like when God opens up all of Heaven to each and everyone of us it's a peace that surpasses all understanding a peace that God gives to you and knowing no matter what you face or how difficult it may be or how strange it may seem to you that God says, I'm going to be open it up. I'm going to give you what you need. I'm going to give you the piece. I'm going to give you the strength. I'm going to give you what you need overcome those things in your life because Somebody that don't want you to be happy. For somebody that didn't want you to have peace that surpasses all understanding. There's somebody that doesn't want you to have reassurance in your life. And there's somebody that wants you to do something he wants you to give up he wants you to say this is more than I can bear. One of the things we all know that the closer we get to God the harder the oh what devil works that relationship 1st Peter 5:8. It says be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking. Whom was that big last word he may devour Seeking whom he may devour when you think about that word. I think that I can say Amen to this as well. And it probably you also the devil try to devour me before amen. You try to destroy all you he's trying to say to you this this is bigger than God that God can't help you through this. This is something that you are not going to be able to overcome out. I remember when the first time she will not sit down and start to hearing all about this virus and all of these things and all this all of these numbers that was being flashed in front of us and all of the things that we seen and I remember two or three days. I don't want I don't want that because every time that I heard more and more and more about it the old devil was saying, What? See your God is not there for you. Your God is not protecting you your God is not giving you what you need. But God says wait a minute. Something good is about to happen. I'm going to show you new ways of doing things. I'm going to show you new ways of having love. I'm going to show you ways of how the heaven is opened up another verse or another few words of that song says and brother it could happen when you need a Hey brother, it could happen any day one of the things that I know for sure and the old devil don't want you to think about this. I know tomorrow is not promised is it? But the devil says don't worry about it do whatever you want to do when whenever you want to. And behave in ways, however, you want to behave and do things just to make you feel good. The guy says everyday have your hard work needs today over in the scriptures Joe went through so much and one of the reasons that Joe had so much as Do you love God and what else God loves him and God gave him things that he needed in JV and possessions that he loved in a family that he loved. He had all these things in the Old Devil says well the only reason

The job has these things is because you protect him. Is Recology you don't allow him to step away from you? God gave the devil the opportunity. And the devil came in and didn't want the Joe. Took everything. Took his family took his possessions not only took his family and his possessions, but also took his what is health. And got to a point where the devil was pulling out every stop now. I believe today that something good is about to Heaven happen. And I believe truly honestly that something good is on its way. But when you're working for it and the closer you get to God, what's the devil going to do? Just give up? Is that all you just go ahead going to be? Okay you go. It's alright. I'm going to give you a pass on this one so I can tell you, you know something when the devil is working on you hard you're doing the will of God rotted aren't you you're doing what God wants you to do and the devil says that's not where I want you to be. I want you to be destroyed. I want to take away everything Jobe lost everything you can imagine but Joe said what? Devil says come and follow me.

You don't need to be happy today. Come and follow me jokes as for me and my house what we will serve the Lord. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. That's when you find out about your Christianity. It's easy to be a Christian when things are good is easy for you to say. Oh brother. I can happen any day when God's people hum of the humble themselves and call on Jesus. It's easy to do that when things are going good and everything's just right. Let's think about this. We've almost had to reinvent our church have we've almost had to change a lot of things that we have had to do. We have had to look at all the things that we do out in Society Hill and I went to Walmart few weeks ago and you know, I did not going to Walmart begin with amen. But I'll get to Walmart and we pull up in the car and I look and I said honey. There's a line to get into Walmart. And she said there's a what I said, there's a line to get into Walmart. And I said I said what I think we should just go home right now and some groceries. So we walk over to Columbia Walmart and we walk in there have an account there. And like I said you going to wait wait got to wait now waiting and I got into Walmart and head arrows point which way I was going and we was walking down certain the house and chill to look at me. Now. They're going the wrong way. I said, what do you want me to give him a ticket? What do you want me to do it? Right? Why why why do you want me to do you want me to say no, you got to turn around, but our whole mind has been what? a little reprogrammed Po Folks, I want you to know something. When God's people humble themselves and call on Jesus and look to Heaven what expecting as they pray God still in control? Even though devil wants you to think that he's not the old Devils want you to think that that's just this is God's fault that all these things has been going on but God is still in control and something good is about to happen something good. It's on its way. And when we as Christians truly believe that's truly believe that I've had days in my office. I've had to go out and different things to see different people and deal with difficult situations, but I've been in my office a few days by myself and your mind can Wonder cane it. And the old devil wants your mind to wonder and he wants you to wonder away from God, but we need to get back to work. God wants us to be not only is something good going to happen when the Devil Comes against you, but something's going to Good is going to happen when you get down in the valley before? In the valley where I live in Pike County. When you think about Pike County? Most people think about what that's up there in the mountains right where I live in a little place called Stone. Kentucky now Stone was in Pike County. We were only about 12 miles away from West Virginia and but Stone was a little different place. It was in the valley. We have mountains all the way around and she had to go over a few years ago. And I thought she said well, let's move to Pike County live here pay here for the remainder of our lives and I was so excited. I thought and I got in there in the first thing. She said was a honey. I can't breathe. We got to go. We got to get out of here. Cuz we when you get down in that Valley, what are you got mountains all around you? And it sort of looks like there's no way out smoke sometimes not only do live in a valley your life becomes a valley didn't it? Sometimes you you think there's no way out. How is this ever going to end? How how am I ever going to overcome this will once again, that's where the devil want you to be. He wants you to stay in the valley. I'm going to be honest with you in my life and probably your life. Also, I think we learned a lot more about ourselves when we're in the valley. Then we're on top of the mountain, right. But when you're down in that Valley the devil still working on you. And the devil still trying to get you to go and be what you shouldn't be. But when one of the things that I loved about when I lived in Pike County and this is what I always wanted to do as a little boy. I will get out on our front porch and there was a big mountain behind us and and I'd always tell my daddy. I said Daddy I'm going to climb to the top of that. And dad would say son you go. Do I have to wait to get a little older. You're not strong enough yet. I just want to see what's up there. See what's up there. And my daddy said Son you going to realize something. When you get to the top of that mountain. You're going to be what another Valley and there's going to be another mountain and you're going to have to continue Crossing those things in life today folks. I don't know where you are in your relationship with God. I had when I first started preaching like this and that the other churches and trying to communicate two different people people. I've heard people say

When you're not at church how could people? Get their needs met when they're not in church WIll folks. I think God today the gods here. Amen. You know what else? I think I thank God for he's where you are today to. If you're at your house or at your in your car if you're at work, wherever that baby, I believe that our God works in that big word. Are you ready for it? Mysterious ways. And God is able to supply those needs of your life. So today there altar call has been a little different in the past few weeks and different things and you're a priestess Sheila for 8 weeks and never did get her to the altar. I tried. So hard to get her there, but if it just didn't work. But our altar I want you to know something the altar still open today. The wherever you are, if you're here at church, I believe God can save you right there in a few. If you're at church, and you have a situation, I believe God can answer that situation right there in your puke if you're at home and listening this morning, no matter where you are. I believe God can save you and I also believe God can hear and answer your prayers the most everybody knows your preacher cell phone number how to get ahold of him and anytime during the week of Salvation is needed to come into your life or this morning. You can call me and I'll be glad to talk to you anytime. One of the things I also want you to know today anybody that's here today. This altar is open. And if God leads you to come and pray. I advise you to do so and if you'd like for me to pray with you, just raise your hand and I'll be more than glad to come and pray for you. But I believe God has a plan for us. And remember this as you leave. David's going to play some music here in a few moments before we as you're just missing. The thing about this week. Thank you yourself when you hear all this stuff and you're all this noise and you're here all these stats and you hear all these other things just think to yourself at church. I heard something good is about to happen. Something good is what on its way? Today folks we can believe in that and have reassurance in that and however God speaks to you today. We invite you to do God's will as we have her clothes and something to me.
