As I felt The Holy Spirit deal with my life, I began to realize that I
need to“loosen up” with this writing and begin to communicate some
areas as to how The Lord led me to this in addition to preaching.
First of all, I thank The Lord for what He has done in my life. I know
that nothing is impossible when it comes to what He can do with a
life, for I am a living example of that.
In my sermon titled “Hope In The Midst Of Circumstances”, I felt
the direction of The Holy Spirit taking me in thought about how
The Lord works mightily whenever circumstances seem to press
upon a person to want to just give in to the hurt.
In example, I would like to say that many years ago, when it
seemed that my health was failing me beyond what I thought I
could handle, I questioned God about even staying alive. At that
time my faith was weak, and I didn’t even want to go on with my
life; but, God really worked with me in a miraculous way through
much prayer by others in such a way that I felt my faith to build
that I would trust God through it all to gain strength to keep going.
Thank God, I’m still alive today and though sometimes life gets
tough, I try to remember just how God brought me through all
those times with victory despite setbacks.
So, always remember that God alone has the ultimate say no
matter how discouraged you may be today. No matter what
you have been through, the love of Jesus surpasses all problems
to give hope and victory with an assurance that He cares for you!
In my sermon, “Covered By Healing”, I felt impressed in The
Spirit to make others aware that as one may understand how
physical sickness eats away at the body, so does sin consume
the unrepentant heart of those in rebellion to God.
As I have stated before that not everything one preaches on
means that we are the prime example, but in every area of
our lives, we still have our flaws. In noting such, we still have
need to ask God to show us what areas of our lives that we
need to repent and ask Him to cleanse us of all such faults.
In areas of my life, I too, have strayed away, rationalizing that
God understood. It was only when I humbled myself before Him
that I truly could come to the knowledge to ask for Him to renew
my life and heart to be pleasing in His sight.
In “Peace, Hope, And Security Is Found In Jesus!”, I wanted to
stress the fact of our victory by The Holy Spirit’s presence in
our lives that gives the special rights to us who believe
with a genuine heart to accept all the blessings that God gave
us through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. He not only blessed
us with His Spirit, but He gave us power to live courageously in
boldness to proclaim what He did in His Love for us. He has
given us wonderful gifts in marvellous ways with manifestations
of His Spirit and the work that He does within our hearts and lives.
Having the boldness to stand fast in firmness of His resurrection
and the assurance of His coming brings excitement to the
believer to persevere under trials, knowing someday we
will have a better resurrection and partake of a more joyous
inheritance in the riches that He has prepared for us at that time.
All the pressures of this life is nothing in comparison to the
glorified body we will receive as we will someday stand in His presence.
But with that in mind, we must also be aware of the fact that we
will give an account before Him of all that we have done in this
life whether good or bad. Don’t disgard the precious Name of Jesus,
for in that Name His Word is to be proclaimed and every healing work
given comes by the best and only sacrifice for the secureness of
hope and peace with God that could only come through Him!
