WEAKNESS/CIRCUMSTANCES

GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US

GOD NEVER LIES

GOD IS ALWAYS THE SAME

1 John 1:10 (Amplified Bible)
Amplified Bible (AMP)

10If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].

In my weakness He is strong.

I choke in fear when pressure comes.

Part of me still believe the lie of the enemy I can’t do anything for Christ.

I work hard to prove His grace is in me.

I study His word so that I may grow in Him.

To be bold, brave and fearless, to please Him in all I do.

There is a price of faithfulness but no earthly cost can compare to heaven’s glory.

Charm can praise God in the good times but true character praise God in the bad times also.

Our struggles prove Satan has not conquered us, he doesn’t bother those he already controls.

We can either offend the world or please God

Or please God and offend the world.

There is no greater soil than a soil in need.

The circumstances of life are created to help change our hearts

Luke 5:31-32 (Amplified Bible)
Amplified Bible (AMP)

31And Jesus replied to them, It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

32I have not come to arouse and invite and call the righteous, but the erring ones (those not free from sin) to repentance [to change their minds for the better and heartily to amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins].

We must trust in God’s power to remove certain problems and also in His authority and wisdom to help us through some problem that would help us grow in Christ.

You can tell God’s children they imitate their Heavenly Father

They will never abandon you.

Never say I love you than leave you when trouble comes.

They are not one way one day and another the next.

If you say one day God said this and the next day He said something else someone change and it wasn’t God.

Ephesians 5:1 (Amplified Bible)
Amplified Bible (AMP)

Ephesians 5

1THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].

II Corinthians 4:16-18 ¹⁶For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ^{17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.}^{II Corinthians 4:18:}

13-18 The grace of faith is an effectual remedy against fainting in times of trouble. They knew that Christ was raised, and that his resurrection was an earnest and assurance of theirs. The hope of this resurrection will encourage in a suffering day, and set us above the fear of death. Also, their sufferings were for the advantage of the church, and to God's glory. The sufferings of Christ's ministers, as well as their preaching and conversation, are for the good of the church and the glory of God. The prospect of eternal life and happiness was their support and comfort. What sense was ready to pronounce heavy and long, grievous and tedious, faith perceived to be light and short, and but for a moment. The weight of all temporal afflictions was lightness itself, while the glory to come was a substance, weighty, and lasting beyond description. If the apostle could call his heavy and long-continued trials light, and but for a moment, what must our trifling difficulties be! Faith enables to make this right judgment of things. There are unseen things, as well as things that are seen. And there is this vast difference between them; unseen things are eternal, seen things but temporal, or temporary only. Let us then look off from the things which are seen; let us cease to seek for worldly advantages, or to fear present distresses. Let us give diligence to make our future happiness sure.

Psalm 35:27 (Amplified Bible)
Amplified Bible (AMP)

27Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

Psalms 35:27:

17-28 Though the people of God are, and study to be, quiet, yet it has been common for their enemies to devise deceitful matters against them. David prays, My soul is in danger, Lord, rescue it; it belongs to thee the Father of spirits, therefore claim thine own; it is thine, save it! Lord, be not far from me, as if I were a stranger. He who exalted the once suffering Redeemer, will appear for all his people: the roaring lion shall not destroy their souls, any more than he could that of Christ, their Surety. They trust their souls in his hands, they are one with him by faith, are precious in his sight, and shall be rescued from destruction, that they may give thanks in heaven

Revelation of John 2:17:^{17He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it.}

Revelation of John 2:17:

12-17 The word of God is a sword, able to slay both sin and sinners. It turns and cuts every way; but the believer need not fear this sword; yet this confidence cannot be supported without steady obedience. As our Lord notices all the advantages and opportunities we have for duty in the places where we dwell, so he notices our temptations and discouragements from the same causes. In a situation of trials, the church of Pergamos had not denied the faith, either by open apostasy, or by giving way so as to avoid the cross. Christ commends their steadfastness, but reproves their sinful failures. A wrong view of gospel doctrine and Christian liberty, was a root of bitterness from which evil practices grew. Repentance is the duty of churches and bodies of men, as well as of particular persons; those who sin together, should repent together. Here is the promise of favor to those that overcome. The influences and comforts of the Spirit of Christ, come down from heaven into the soul, for its support. This is hidden from the rest of the world. The new name is the name of adoption; when the Holy Spirit shows his own work in the believer's soul, this new name and its real import are understood by him.

True Christian faith, family and friends can sustains us in times of trouble.

CONFESSION

CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR OUR SOULS

Lord it would be a tragedy to see other go on in failures that your love has help me overcome. To see the frustration and devastation of fighting this alone and do nothing, not speaking your words of life. Give me your perfect words, words they will hear. Never let me miss a chance to let others know when I failed miserably, it was only by your grace I came out of it. I commit myself to be open and honest with all. I want them to know my mistakes so they can avoid them. Also because they will make mistakes of their own and that there is none you can’t help with.

I want to share my failures, Not to glorify sin, Not to justify it, Not to say everybody does it so its must be okay. Rather, because I’m not proud of it and because I don’t want anyone to feel that these things only happen to them. Most of all, I want them to know that by the grace of God, he brought me through it and out of it, and he can do the same for them.

We need to purge and cleanse our thoughts, deeds and motives. Repent of selfish ambitions, self-gratification self-justification. Let us pray Lord Your judgments are just and righteous, we pray for your mercy for being rebellious, serving other gods, bitterness, anger, un-forgiveness, sexual sins, treating others unfairly, self-pity, rejection, gossiping, stealing, lying, cheating, our iniquities have piled up beyond measure.

When these walls of sins come down, who shall we fear, if God is for us who will be against us who can take our souls.
Matthew 10:28 (American Standard Version)
American Standard Version (ASV)

28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

If we give up our family may die in sin. We can break these curses of the enemy here and now so I say let them come, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON..
Matthew 16:18 (New Living Translation)
New Living Translation (NLT) 18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’),^[^a^{] and upon this rock I will build my church, and}all the powers of hell^[^b^{] will not conquer it.}

We Confess these sins and any We may not have mention, Lord We plea for your mercy and forgiveness for these sins are against You our Lord.

You gave us your image and this is how we have defiled it. We have misused the authority and power you have given us and we are sorry. We come to the foot of your cross Lord Jesus. We plea your Grace for in our weakness you are strong. We have falling short but our desire is to try and do better and do what please you our Lord. Show the world your strength and glory.

Please Lord have mercy for your sake and your image in us. Don’t let these souls of your be wasted. We thank you for your Glory and Holiness and the precious blood of Jesus Christ who died and rose again for our sins. You have promise we can defeat the enemy. We declare victory right now to live a better life for you. All glory, praise and honor are yours our Mighty God and Savior in Jesus name we pray. Amen!

Isaiah 54:17 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

17No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Psalm 27:1 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Romans 8:33-39 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord..

Numbers 24:4-9 (New Living Translation)
New Living Translation (NLT)

4 the message of one who hears the words of God,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who bows down with eyes wide open:
5 How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob;
how lovely are your homes, O Israel!
6 They spread before me like palm groves,
like gardens by the riverside.
They are like tall trees planted by the Lord,
like cedars beside the waters.
7 Water will flow from their buckets;
their offspring have all they need.
Their king will be greater than Agag;
their kingdom will be exalted.
8 God brought them out of Egypt;
for them he is as strong as a wild ox.
He devours all the nations that oppose him,
breaking their bones in pieces,
shooting them with arrows.
9 Like a lion, Israel crouches and lies down;
like a lioness, who dares to arouse her?
Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel,
and cursed is everyone who curses you.”

Confession is good for our souls = No matter what’s on the line, there can be nothing more precious than the knowledge of God’s powerful presence strengthening you to face life.

SLEEPING THROUGH THE STORMS OF LIFE

You have authority only over the storms you can sleep in.

Jesus walked in peace. His peace stills the storms of life.

With His peace we can:

Break every lie and deception of the enemy.

Break poverty and lack.

Break every power of sin that separate us from God and His family.

Break every interference of the enemy from our recieving supernatural empowerment.

Recieve Now His peace and God's excellent care- put on His name,His authority,His word and His armor and be still in the peace of God in every storm of life.

read Matthew 8:23-27
         Mark 4: 35-41
         Luke 8:22-25
         mark 4:39

I know I'm not the only one who has been through this so please pray with me.

Heavenly Father we pray to you. We thank you for being our God, Creator and Savior.
You are right in everything you do. That is why we pray your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Let your Kingdom come for you have power and authority over all creation and you are worthy of that power and authority for you are holy.

Pleae forgive us for believing the lies of our enemy and surrendering our peace to him.
Forgive us for trying to show you how good we are to gain your love and attention you already have for us.

The enemy seeks to divide us from our God and His Family. He wants to isolate us so he can have his way with us. Because we believed his lies we doubted you failing to see your truth.

The truth is we were not open to what you wanted of us.
Forgive us for not seeing your desire of intimacy with us.
Forgive us for not seeing your desire to remove what was keeping us apart.
Your desire is for us to trust you to change the things in us that are not pleasing.
You desire to hold us and protect us in those time of change.
Forgive us for turning away from you in those times.

We believed the lie that no one cared and lost your precious peace.
But now through your grace we see our wrong and we are taking back in your authority all that is ours in Christ Jesus. For you are Lord of Lords, you do not crush the weak or quench the smallest hope.
You are the defender of the poor and exploited.

In you alone do we have peace. Never again let us fail to trust you.
Never again let us fail to show anyone your compassion and grace.

We thank you Lord Jesus for sheding your blood for our sins.
We thank you for always being there for us.
No matter how many times we fall short you are always ready to show what you can do throught us.
For you gave us your peace, your name, your authority, your word and your armor to bring you glory.
We thank Lord Jesus and give you all the praise, honor and glory for you are worthy in Jesus' name we pray.
Amen!
