[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today. I hope you are excited today because today is the day the Lord hath made. We'll be glad. We will. Rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful. Be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him.
[00:00:25] Yeah, I'm just really, really blessed this morning, and I was reading and just thinking about how much God has taken care of. And there are days when you're. When you read and you're on and you just. Everything you read, you get information and there's days where you read and you're just kind of, I don't know, you think about a thousand different things. And today, of course, I'm like totally focused.
[00:00:46] And I was running late, so I didn't get a ton in. But needless to say, it was a blessing. I wanted to read Philippians chapter 4 this morning.
[00:00:55] Verse 10, it says, but I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again, wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Verse 11. Not that I speak in respect of want or being in want. For I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content or sufficient in oneself. I know how to be both abased or to bring low, or to be humble, and I know how to abound everywhere or in every place and in all things. I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. Verse 13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth or imparteth strength unto me.
[00:01:44] I love this for two reasons. Number one, be content.
[00:01:49] Do you know how to be humble? And do you know how to be proud? Proud is not the right word. I don't even know what you would. What the word is. But do you know how to be both?
[00:01:57] Do you know how to be in a state where you're going through a trial or a tribulation, and to be patient in spirit, expecting good?
[00:02:06] I mean, that's the end of what you get to a point where you're going through tribulation. The end of that is where you rest in the expectation of future good, knowing that God's going to take care of the situation.
[00:02:17] I also love the fact that I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. That means all things.
[00:02:25] And one day I was sitting down and I read something that talked about staying On a verse. Can you. Can you keep your mind on a verse? Can you think about one verse and sit there for 20 minutes and not think about anything else other than that verse? And I was. This is the verse I was working on. I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me. And I started thinking about all these different paths I'm going down and how God knows every single path that I'm pursuing and he's there for me. And not only that, I have Christ in me.
[00:02:54] I have the power of Christ, the authority of Christ rest in me because of the Acts of Christ.
[00:03:00] I have Holy Spirit as a result of the Acts of Christ.
[00:03:05] It's an amazing position to be in. You're never alone.
[00:03:09] God's always there for you. Christ is with you and in you at all times.
[00:03:14] If you jump over to. I'm going to go to Romans actually. And if you go to Romans, chapter 8, verse 37, it says, Nay, in all things, we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
[00:03:30] You are more than a conqueror through him that loved us, through God in all situations. Do you believe that? For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature or creation shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.
[00:03:57] There is nothing you can do to change the thing that God's given you.
[00:04:02] Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous. Romans 10, 9, 10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, that God raised him for the from the dead, thou shalt be safe. For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation, safety, or preservation.
[00:04:22] He's with you immediately.
[00:04:26] You're not. He's not going anywhere. Nothing can separate you from that love.
[00:04:32] And I wanted to finish up with this. If you jump over to verse 28 of verse 8, this one I go. Or chapter 8, I go over this a lot.
[00:04:40] And we know that all things work or labor or achieve together for good. To them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.
[00:04:51] And you gotta rest in that.
[00:04:53] All things work together for good. No matter what's going on in your life, be patient, knowing that God's gonna take care of it and all these things are gonna work together for good in your life. No matter what trauma or drama or anything you're going through or have gone through, God is there for you, that love that's remaining within Christ will never be separated from you.
[00:05:16] You can do all things because Christ is in you. You're more than a conqueror in this world and therefore you can rest and be thankful. Believe what the Word says about you. Believe the promises that God has for you and remain in that.
[00:05:30] It's having a firm conviction in what God tells you. All things work together for good. So no matter where you go in your mind, you change your mind. Renovate your thoughts and believe what God says.
[00:05:42] Have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, it's always to God, never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ and have a great day and blessed time doing it.
[00:05:55] Have a great day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:07] Yeah, when the f.
[00:06:11] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for everything you do for us, how you take care of us, how you bless us. I'm very, very thankful for the moments of my life, for the people you've brought into my life and how you take care of them, how I've seen you. Just bless them. I pray for today that it's a great day, a blessed day. I ask you for strength back. I want this back so I'm not feeling weak and I can get over this sickness because it's outrageous about had it. I thank you again for always coming through and I pray for the just the right direction in the business. I thank you so much for my brother that you've protected him. I ask that you give him full function and full mobility and full feeling back in his hand and I thank you for that opportunity. I lift up a great day to you and thank you for your son. In the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus,
