Sunday Service 2-7-10

The invitation is “COME, FOLLOW ME”

The prime reason for knowing God’s Word is to have the ability to follow Him.

The enemy brings stresses, fears. We cower.

We have to be strong. If not, we will cower (coward).

We have been in places that we never thought we would make it. The amazing thing is we made it through.

God goes before us always- He goes ahead, scouts things out, brings the supplies and all we need to face the battles that we have to go through.

BE NOT AFRAID

Consider what it feels like not to be afraid. What does it feel like not to be afraid?

I GO BEFORE YOU ALWAYS. He has done that before you were born and throughout the whole week.

It doesn’t matter where you go, God will meet your needs. If you see the face of God, you will live.

God loves to burn up the dead stuff in our lives.

Prunes, consumes that which is not good

Be in the state of “No Fear”.

What is your monster?

If He goes before you always, He makes your path straight.

Be strong, Of good courage.

FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS WITH THEE

Know that the enemy knows that you know that God has gone before you

We are not meant to crawl on the ground. If we are sucking dust we won’t go anywhere.

What the devil means for evil, God means for good. God chooses what the devil brings before us, for His glory. The devil always makes it look like he is the one who is at fault. God goes before us always.

Elijah was not afraid when the enemies came. He knew God sent His angels ahead of the enemy. He prayed that God would open the eyes of his servant to see the angels.

All things work out for good to those who love God and who are called according to His purpose.

We will have trials throughout our lives. We have an enemy. We don’t have to go hiding in the bushes anymore.

BE NOT AFRAID. YOU ARE THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL. YOU WILL NOT LOSE AS A CHILD OF GOD. YOU WILL PROSPER.

Declare: I will not be afraid this morning. My God is sovereign. He has made provision for me. I may not understand what is going on.

In the end time, satan will be thrown into the bottomless pit and the world will say, “Is that the One?”

Regardless of the circumstances, God causes me to be prosperous. He meets my needs. HE goes before me always.

BE NOT AFRAID. Follow Him. He will give you rest.

In scripture Jesus sent them out by twos,

If you are going to be leaders in the Church, you need to know that God is going before you. It must be 100% following God. Are you following God today with all your heart, mind, and strength?

God is looking for:

“I go before you. Will you follow me?”

He brings you in the strangest allies, the deepest valleys, the pinnacles till your fingers are scratched to the bones.

God goes before you, like it or not. You have no choice about it. If you know it for yourself, you know that God has brought every person in your life.

God is with you even in the barren desert- where nothing lives- don’t be afraid, you won’t die of thirst.

God has gone before you.

I will not be afraid, because God goes before me.

Each one of you will face a day of death, even into death you will not be alone.

Come follow Me and I will give you rest.

God gave us the Sabbath rest right from the beginning, where you don’t have to fight and scramble.

Jos 1:7-9

(7) Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

(8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

(9) Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

God said to Joshua to meditate and do the Word and you will have prosperity.

You have to keep your eyes on God. You have to keep to your eyes on God in the face of all things. We live by faith and not by sight. The one thing about a God that is sovereign, He does it His way. It is not that you aren’t tempted with fears, but don’t be afraid.
