Good Morning Beloved!
What a privilege it is to be able to share the Word of God with you today.
Heavenly Father,
I am filled so much with sadness
for this broken and hurting world
Those who, even now, who refuse to turn to you
Lord, how desperately we need Your presence with us
touch their hearts O Lord
so that they can understand the wrong they’ve done
convict them and convert them
that none should perish
As we reach out to help those in need
remind us to also minister to their spiritual needs
Help us Lord, guide us
as we all travel this unfamiliar journey
In Jesus' name
Amen
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!"
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
A thousand may fall at you side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.
You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.
For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
For He will give His angels charge concerning you.
To guard you in all your ways."
Psalm 91:1-12
Today's Message: The Word Of God - Who Is In Control?
I know that many of you are uneasy in this time of "Stay At Home" order
But God wants our hearts to be at rest and established by His grace toward us!
That’s where and when we find inner peace!
It’s not about what you can do, it never has been about what you can do...
It is and always has been about what God can do!
The Word of God assures us, that God is in control!
Sometimes we need to think smart and be rational
The older a person gets, the more he or she can relate to what every generation has thought or said at one time or another."What in the world is this younger generation thinking."
But In every generation, the accuser has re-invented the same old story lines of doom and gloom.
Only his tactics are more overt and have gotten more brash and unbelievable, to the point of far too many have come to believe and except defeat and live in a depressed and fear-based mentality
God knew there would be chaos and times of uncertainty in the world.
That’s why God gave us a relevant Word, for every situation and for every generation!
God’s promises are relevant, and God’s words are timely for every occasion and every generation!
Yet so many people around the world, are worried from one world Catastrophe...
elections, sickening desires, viruses and the consequences of them to the next.
They live their lives in fear and the way they act is ruled by what happens on the news which causes them to believe and act and with extremism.
There is hope, because in difficult times of stress, we have a Savior who has promised His peace.
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."
John 14:27
Life is a gift!
A gift from God. If God gives life, He sustains life. He gives life, He sustains life. As long as He has destined to give it, He will sustain it. We have a loving Father who cares for us and has made provision for us, and has filled the earth with all good things; and they are accessible to those who are diligent.
There's no need to be fearful. Even when there is even the most exiguous threat that something might be lost or you might be deprived, you must keep in mind, that God gave you life and the fullness of that life, He will sustain it...that means He will provide all that you need. So give thanks and praise Him daily.
We need not be worried. Worry says, "I don’t trust God to provide, so I’m going to worry."
Listen, I can assure you. you are not going to worry yourself into a longer life, you're not going to worry yourself shelter, or more food. But you can worry yourself into a shorter life! Worry affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system. So why worry? God has given us life, God will sustain that life, we have need to worry about that life. He will sustain us. What we do need to do, is to be faithful to Him, thank Him, praise Him for all that He does for us.
Let me sum it up: God is your Father, and God takes care of those who are His own! Period.
To doubt that is to give evidence to the sin of unbelief, so why worry?
Once you understand God, understand His love, understand His care, understand His power, understand His abilities, understand His promises. There simply isn't a need to worry. We can be confident, He will sustain our life, the life He gave us!
God instructs us to not worry about what will happen, but to trust His plan for our lives!
Sometimes I think we need to be reminded, as long as God is on my side, there is nothing that come against us, no matter what is reported or how bad things may seem to be. If you watch the news all the time, it’s a minute by minute saga of the relentless attack of the divider on all of humanity!
You have to really use discernment and trust the Lord, that He is in control of every situation.
Nothing surprises God or is outside his ability to control. Not earthquakes,
Not hurricanes,
Not revolts or uprisings in other lands,
Not government controlled programs or whatever the price of oil decides to go to,
or record breaking temperature changes of hot or cold,
Certainly not the Corona Virus or even the next global pandemic!
God has already made provision for every situation that we will ever come up against and nothing can alter Gods plan for His people or His Triumphant Return!
That's why we as believers, put our faith and trust in Him alone, not the media or even the government’s ability to stop a crisis. Believe me, if God wants it stopped, it will stop! And the same is true if He doesn't, no government, scientist, or anything will stop what God has ordained.
If you're a Christian, you're not a outsider, You are a part of God's family, one of His own. Therefore,
it is needless, it is senseless, it is useless to worry and furthermore, it is a sin to worry!
Now, if you're a part of the nations, if your a Pagan, if you're part of the kingdom of darkness..they have reason to worry! They have no hope, no provider, no protector! That's certainly a cause for worry. Because they have rejected God, turned against God and thus, God is their enemy.
That's a reason to worry!
Beloved, as Christians, all we need do, is to grasp hold of the Word, the Grace and Peace God has both already and continually supplied and hang on to His Word at all times.
Our flesh and fear based mentality doesn’t want us to know the promise of the Word, or remember its benefits! Why? Because there is so much peace and comfort to be had from the truth and power revealed by the Word! So much peace.
That's why Satan, the enemy, the adversary, the author of confusion has been fighting it ever since he was expelled from heaven!
And just how long did it take for God to get rid of confusion in Heaven?
The scriptures tells us, I saw Satan fall like Lightning! Lightning travels at a rate of 28,500 miles per second! That's how fast God got rid of confusion based mentality in Heaven.
If you need answers to your questions about what is happening in your world... go to God!
There is no other trusted Authority!
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."
John 14:27
The methods are many for the occupation of our time, to blur and distract the world away from God's amazing message of Grace! Believe me, there are a lot of different ways and things out there and people who will try to tell you how to live and why you should live that way!
The answer, the truth is found in Jesus and the miraculous Grace, life changing message He introduced to the world at the cross.
"Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited."
Hebrews 13:9
" .... I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” so that we confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.
What will man do to me?"
What will man do to me?"
But for the Christ-less world, those who do not acknowledge God, do not know God as
their Father, and have not come to Him to claim His provision and His
promise, have reason to worry about their supply. They’re on their own.
Now there is a providential provision. God, however, allows the sun to rise and
fall on the just and the unjust, and the rain the same, and God has
providentially built into the world common grace by which all people’s lives
can be sustained. And though covered by His common global providence, His common grace...
They have no promise of a protector, no one to care for them. They are outside God’s kingdom, they’re in the kingdom of darkness, they’re in the kingdom of death; they should be afraid. Those who continue to reject the One True God, those who have created gods of their own, false gods, they have very good reason to be afraid! Very afraid.

But how different are we?
We are in God’s family! And as part of God's family, He assures us of a full supply of everything we need. It is absolutely shameful for a child of God to stoop down to the level of the heathen, those who don’t know God, who do not have His provision! You’re in God’s family! Act like it!

The people of the world seek things to survive, and right they should, because they’re on their own! They are their own protectors. They are their own saviors, temporally speaking.. They’re on their own. They have every need to worry about food. They need to worry about what to drink. They need to worry about clothing. They need to worry about shelter. They need to worry about how they will survive this life. But they also have to understand this: In order to do that, you end up serving money.
And Jesus, had something to say about that!
"No one
can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the
other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and wealth."
In Closing....
Those who are of the world have made their choice. They have chose to to serve money. They will not serve God, they will
serve money. Money is the ultimate god; whatever it takes for them to
protect themselves, to provide for themselves, they pursue with all
their might. That’s the real reason people chase money, because they
have no supernatural provision, no supernatural protector. One way to say it would be they have no
invisible means of support. Only what they can see in front of them. While everybody else is looking for a visible means of support because
that’s all they have, we can be content to rest in the protection of our Father, and the invisible means of
our support.
Sons and daughters of the True King do not and will not conduct themselves like the devil’s beggar!!!
That's why we cannot allow ourselves be like the world.
Look, it's one thing to claim that you're a child of God, part of His family, part of His Kingdom.
It's quite another to hold fast to that same claim when things become a little scary, uncertain or terrifying!
When life becomes scary, when things are difficult and life is uncertain, and at some point, it will, how will you react?
By
fear or doubt? Worried what is going to happen next?
Or with joy and in confidence? Trusting it’s all in God’s hands?
It's not what you claim that matters, it's how you respond!
And now may the Lord bless you and keep you
the Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Now and forever, in Jesus' name
Amen
And now may the Lord bless you and keep you

And give you peace.
