 Amen. God is good and all the time. Amen. I just wanted to encourage you with something before we go into testimonies and The story comes to my mind is when King David was bringing the ark, which is called like the God box into this house And he gathered the whole Israel together to to do that to bring this ark now his wife Who was the daughter of Saul the previous king thought that she is too cool To go with everyone to bring the ark. So what she was doing. She was just sitting on the window and watching everything She was the first window watcher And here she sits there and David is carrying the ark and David is the cool guy David is the king David is the royalty David is the Billionaire David is the guy but he acts like a kid when it comes to God He is so hungry passionate and he's not only carrying the ark in a dignified matter He carries the ark in the Bible says he begins to dance with no dignity means he had no most He was just all out worshipping God and praising God and his wife is watching from the window and she is not only passive But she becomes a critic And she says what kind of what kind of madness is this what kind of king you are and when he comes to her is You know give her a hug. He says hey, why didn't you come out? You know we kind of had this whole thing going the whole nation came out It's all about God and you know you're so cool and stuff. So what's going on? Are you on your period? You know why you're not there and She blasts him with all kinds of things. She says, you know, you shouldn't be doing this you you're wrong You shouldn't be worshiping God like that and David says, you know what? He says the God that raised me up and placed me instead of your dad Him I will worship and he says I will not be getting advice from those who don't worship him And this is how the Bible ends her story and she was barren for the rest of her life Everything started with this God is moving, but she is passive It quickly turned to her being passive to being all-knowing critic It's funny how people who usually do nothing know how to do everything They tell you how to run the church how to run a home group how to evangelize how to do is how to do nothing and usually Many times those people are the people who know everything and they sit on the window. They're passive What I want to encourage you with this week. We have prayers at church From 4 30 in the morning 5 30 in the morning 6 30 in the morning doors are open early in the morning till Afternoon and there is music playing here. There's people coming for prayer. I encourage you God is moving at goodness church Don't be souls daughter Don't sit on the sidelines Don't just come to Sundays be involved in your prayer at home If you find it is hard for you to pray at home and you have time and you're not far from the church come out here Bring your Bible bring your latte come and start praying take time get involved Don't be so important that you cannot seek the presence of God if you're passive about God's presence You will quickly find yourself being critical of those who are not passive and then you will always find yourself at this place Baron in finances Baron in your freedom Baron in your health Baron in your relationships God does not want you to be Baron, but if you're passive You choose to be Baron you may say I hate Baroness if you choose passivity toward God's presence You already have chosen what passivity brings a twin sister called Baroness So kick passivity in a curve become passionate not passive and you won't become a critic you will become a Participator you will become a leader and God will use you can somebody say amen So the first thing is the path not to be passive about God's presence Take time to pray every day if you're struggling with something if you have a barrenness in your life The way you overcome that is if you get humble before God and God will raise you up If you're arrogant if you're proud if you say I don't have time to spend time with God I'm a Christian, but I don't need to pray. I'm all-knowing. I got a bachelor's degree. You won't succeed Without God's help you won't succeed. Maybe you're one of those positive people you have positive quotes everywhere Let me remind you like Martin said Goliath was also very positive He died positivity Without Holy Spirit will lend you in the same place head on the ground Only with the Holy Spirit your positivity will have a victory David was a negative But he was with the Holy Spirit spend time with God Take every morning or every evening and spend those 30 minutes that hour with God if you find it hard to do that come to church Let us help you with that the second thing that we don't want to be passive about it this week Is that we have Wednesday night service where we have a miracle catch a miracle catch is where we try to invite during a month one person Who does not go to church and we try to invite them over to come and check out the Wednesday service to hear the message We are really excited for this Wednesday because there will be baptisms. There will be so many new friends so many new faces I'm gonna challenge everyone from the last row to the person who's standing with a microphone invite one person this Wednesday Let's believe that they will come and get saved. Let's believe that God will change their life You may say this is just inviting people to church No, one of the testimonies that you will hear this Wednesday is of a young man who had demons come out of the closets He describes it as a real experience attack him at night and physically he felt physical emotional torture He was invited. He said he actually never really responded to the altar call He gave his life to the Lord, but he didn't respond to the altar call But ever since he came those demons never came out of the closets again It goes they were gone God brought freedom just by coming praying with us hearing the message of God That's what God can do to the people that you invite cuz somebody say amen Are you gonna be passionate? Are you gonna kick passivity to the side? Are you gonna be passionate about God and about his cause? Can somebody say amen? So we bringing one person this Wednesday We're gonna see God's power and God's glory move this week in Jesus name prayer starts. What time of church? Oh That's early So 5 30 for some of us 6 30 for other ones and so whatever God leads you make sure you pray And we will be a church of miracles in Jesus mighty name. Let's put our hands together for Jesus Christ
