Work on What God has Given you.

Romans 5:1-5

We have...

1. Peace with God because of Jesus Christ.

Is God at peace with us?

2. Access to God by faith. Some times we may have a feeling that God doesn’t love us or that we are not saved. But through Faith we know He does and we know we are.

3. Hope that we can boast in. This hope will not lead to disappointment.

4. A master plan where we have tribulations(suffering) which gives us endurance which gives us character that strengthens our confident hope.

5. Confidence that I can live with. It doesn’t put me to shame.

Midnight Theology

The midnight hour can be a crisis.

We don’t know what we believe until the midnight hour when there is a crisis.

The devil comes at the midnight hour.

The devil will make us question God in the midnight hour.

What we believe about God!

Acts 16:25

What do others see when we are going through a crisis!

2 Timothy 4:6-8

1. I gave my all.

2. I kept the faith.

3. Anticipate Heaven. The same thing awaits us all if we live it.

Trust and obedience will tear down walls

Joshua 6:1-7,10

1. We need to realize God has already declared the victory (vs.2) No matter how big our problem is in our eyes, to God it is small!

2. We need to realize we are hopeless without God (vs. 4,5)

They could not have taken the wall down

with a horn if God wasn't involved!

3. We need to show up and face our walls with courage (vs.3).

4. We need to be quiet and let God reap the victory (vs.10)

Be quiet and focus on God.

I am coming out of my cave

The cave knows no age.

1 Samuel 22:1-2

 Psalms 142

It is a sin for us to stay in the cave

How David got into the cave

David was paranoid. He thought no one was with him. But the Bible says 400 men was with him. 

David was Lonely.

David thought no one cared or loved him. 

David felt Hopeless. 

David felt overwhelmed.  

How David got out of the cave

David returned to the right source ——God

David Asked for the right thing—-Be merciful to me

David Exercised his transforming Faith.  He had faith in God!

David waited for God to respond. 

David wanted to be an inspiration to the other cave dwellers. 

Faith Will Find A Way

Luke 5:17-26

1. To overcome obstacles.

   “Your faith can move mountains and your doubt can create them.”

“we tried”

“we gave it our best shot”

“we will come back when its convenient”

They had a faith that was going to overcome the obstacle.

2. To do our part.

Faith can move mountains but don’t be surprised if God hands you the shovel.

James 2:18

God says “I will lead you”

Faith says I will follow”

God says “I will feed you”

Faith says “I will eat”

God says “I will meet your needs”

Faith says “It is done”

Faith doesn’t make things easy, it makes them possible
