Power
Of Certainty
Look at the birds of the air |
Key
Scripture: “Seek first the kingdom of God, and all else will be added unto you.
Therefore, do not worry….” Matthew 6:33
Power Point:
Uncertain times. We all go through them don’t we? In this world we never know what we will wake
up to in the morning. The economy, wars,
and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Jesus said, “and there will be earthquakes in various places and there will be
famines and troubles. These are the beginnings
of sorrows.” Well, that’s encouraging!
I guess you could say that uncertainty is a certainty today
couldn’t you?
But I’ve got GOOD news for you.
In the real world, in the
kingdom that’s ruled by the King of kings, everything is certain-everyone is
secure. Why? Because Jesus said so. He has taken the time and the trouble to
introduce us to His Father and to the Holy Spirit. They rule in His kingdom. He
has taken the time and the trouble to make sure that we can now live with certainty
in the midst of uncertainty. Why? Because He loves us SO much!
Are there financial issues looming in
your life? Your Father says He will
provide all your needs, AND that He will fulfill all your desires. It’s a
certainty.
Are there health issues beating you
down? You know what? No problem! Jesus says that one of the main things He
loves to do is heal the sick. Why? Because He hates disease and His heart is
pure compassion.
Consider the Lilies |
Are there relationship issues tearing
you apart? Well guess what! The Holy Spirit is all about unity. He’s the
“uniter” not the divider. And if you ask for His help, and do what He tells you
to do, those relationships will be restored.
At any rate, today I want to give you some specific good news that
should touch every part of your life.
They are YOUR promises from YOUR Father.
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts I think toward you…thoughts of peace and not of
evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 33:6 “Behold
I will bring health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them an
abundance of truth.”
Isaiah 45: 2 “I will go before you and make the crooked places straight.”
Proverbs 2:7,8 “I
store up sound wisdom for the upright. I am a shield to those who walk
uprightly. He guards the paths of justice and preserves the way of His saints.”
Psalms 84:11 “No
good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”
Psalms 37:3,4 “Trust
in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight
yourselves in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit
your way to the Lord; trust also in Him, And HE shall bring it to pass….Those
who wait on the Lord will inherit the earth.”
So Beloved-your assignment, should you choose
to accept it, is to:
Trust Him in uncertain times and in
certain times.
Possess
the place where you are and stuff yourself full with the truth of His
faithfulness.
Be
determinedly delighted in Him, in His goodness, and His love.
Give the
reins to Him with perfect trust and confidence that He will do what He has said
He will do.
Jesus said:
Abide. Dwell. Believe. Trust. Receive. That’s your job. He’s already done everything else. That’s what Easter is all about.
Power Thought:
You can be certain in any uncertainty because God never leaves you or abandons you. He is your safe place.
