   IT WILL TAKE YOU!

   It Will Take You! Today’s Scripture: Psalms 1:3 NIV God is not going to do it for us; it will take us to get the blessings and the things God promises. It is very clear in Scripture. Nothing happens in the kingdom or in our lives without us. God says he will favor us, but it still requires us, our participation, our getting up and doing the work. God's promises are not in isolation from our participation. He said: Deuteronomy 28:12 NIV The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. Let's not miss this, he is sending rain, he's opening the heavens, and storehouse of his bounty in season to bless all the WORK of your hands. The work of your hands means it will take your involvement. If there's no work of your hand then there is nothing for God to bless or rain down on because we haven't put the work in yet. Family, Believing is not just saying you trust or agree with something—it’s acting on that belief. Faith and work go hand in hand. Faith is trusting God, and works are the steps you take to show you trust Him. If you trust him you must get involved, and do the things required to get to that next level in your life. Here are a few examples from the Scriptures of Faith in Action: 1. Noah (Genesis 6:9-22) Noah believed God’s warning about the flood, but his faith was shown in action by building the ark according to God’s instructions, even when it didn’t make sense. 2. Abraham (Genesis 12:1-4) Abraham believed God’s promise to make him a great nation. His faith was active when he left his home, stepping into the unknown, and trusting God to guide him. 3. Moses (Exodus 14:15-16) When the Israelites faced the Red Sea, Moses believed God would deliver them, but he had to lift his staff and stretch his hand over the sea for it to part. 4. The Woman with the Issue of Blood (Mark 5:25-34) She believed Jesus could heal her, but her faith moved her to push through the crowd and touch the hem of His garment. 5. Peter Walking on Water (Matthew 14:28-31) Peter believed Jesus could enable him to walk on water, but it wasn’t until he stepped out of the boat that his faith became action. Without a shadow of a doubt, it will take you. Get involved and you will evolve and become that which God promises in your life. God bless you.

   Results PREY

   Today’s Scripture: Psalms 27:4 NIV One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. Focus: I pray for results, and if those results don't show up, I stop praying, instead of praying to God for God meaning that I pray from a place of love for God and to God. I pray for results. I'm a results prey. I've become a prey to results, I'm a victim to results. If the results never show up then I stop praying. My prayers are results based not relationship based. So, God has to perform for me to pray, God has to do a particular thing for me to pray and remain faithful in prayer. So my prayer life becomes conditional instead of a conviction. There's no conviction to pray because it is not relational it is conditional. When this happens we have become results prey, and God doesn't move because God wants to be first in our lives he's not trying to be our genie in a bottle that we rub 3 times and make a wish and results come based on what we asked for. He's too big for that. He wants a relationship, not a "result ship" we've become results prey. The enemy can have his way with us because we are inconsistent in our prayer life because God doesn't respond to results prayers he responds to relationship prayers. Point 1: Relationship vs Result-ship Matthew 6:33 (NIV) "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." This verse emphasizes the priority of seeking God above all else. It reminds us that our focus should be on God’s kingdom and righteousness rather than the results or "things" we desire. The results come as a byproduct of our genuine pursuit of Him. Point 2: Conviction vs Conditional Psalm 27:4 (NIV) "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple." This verse highlights a heart posture of seeking God simply to enjoy His presence and beauty, not for any specific outcomes. It’s a great example of loving God for who He is. Point 3: Consistency vs Inconsistency Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV) "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." A reminder that wholehearted pursuit of God leads to finding Him, not just the results we want. Family, this is consistency. God is telling us that when it comes to seeking him we must remain consistent which is seeking him with all our hearts. This is where our treasure is, he wants to become our treasure. Inconsistency comes when we seek him for results and not for him. The Challenge Today is: We need to evaluate our prayer life—Are they result-focused or God-focused? Here are some questions: “When you pray, is your focus primarily on asking God for things you need or want?” “Do you feel frustrated or disappointed when your prayers don’t seem to ‘work’?” “How often do you pray simply to connect with God without an agenda?” Family, let's shift our prayers from being results-driven to being relationship-driven: Ultimately, the purpose of prayer is to connect with God, know Him more deeply, and align with His will.

   God Sees You

   Text: Genesis 16:13 NIV [13] She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” Points: 1. God sees us even when things are dark When we are dealing with situations that are too hard to bear and just overwhelming And we think that God is not there Today he wants you to know that he sees you. Hagar was going through the wilderness, a storm, a situation that could take her out and would take her out but God saw her and because he saw her she acknowledge him as El Roi, that is " The God Who Sees". Today, I want you to know that God sees you in your wilderness of decisions, pain, suffering, stress, he sees you and he says to you today, I see you and I'm with you. You can trust me. I am God, the God who brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, turned water into wine, healed the blind, raised the dead man Lazarus, there's nothing too hard for me. I See You! It might be very dark right now in your life, but do you know that God see you in the dark? Yes he does. 2. God sees us when we can't see him There are times when our situations clouds our vision to the point where we can't see God. Have you ever experienced a situation where all you're seeing is just dark and cloudy, nothing seems to be clear in your life? In these moments we must trust God and rely on His Grace and Mercy. We must rely on his reputation, the thing she has done before in our lives. Remember when you had that car accident and almost died but the Lord saved you, even the emergency responders clips not believe that you were the one that was in the car! God sees you! You might not be able to see him because you are going through a difficult season of life, but God sees you. 3. God sees us when we feel alone and Afraid Hagar was afraid, and she felt all alone in the wilderness of decisions and darkness. She wondered and wondered does God see e, does he even care. If he does why am I dealing with this divorce, why am I dealing with this miscarriage,.why am I dealing with this cancer, why am I dealing with this sickness and depression.
