 When Jesus Christ is your coach you'll be asked to stand upon God's word in all circumstances The purpose of life is to glorify God and good times and bad times alike God will when Jesus Christ is your coach you begin to ask you that whatever you're feeling on today You may be feel good. You may be felt bad But he'll ask you begin to say what's not been said begin to proclaim God's promises in your life If you're sick in your body begin to proclaim that by his stripes I am healed if your marriage is falling apart that you begin to proclaim that me and my house will serve the Lord not just Just just people apart that God will restore your marriage The God will set your kids free that God will bring him back Begin to say what has not yet been said in your life and you'll see it come to pass a man We we overcome by keeping our vision our mission in the forefronts of our mind We have to understand that mind management is a first priority for an overcomer Mind management is a first priority for a believer We have to be convinced deeply inside not just say with our own mouth But deeply convinced inside that we possess the Christ nature inside of us that Jesus Christ lives us and Jesus Christ Does not lose a battle Jesus Christ is victorious and he said that he is for me. What is sickness that can come against me? What is that addiction that can come against me that you have to be so? Confident in yourself that Jesus Christ is on your side, and he never lost a battle as Christians There's a purpose for everything we face in life when you become a child of God Whatever that you are going through there is a purpose if you're sick in your body There's a greater reason for you not to be troubled Ask the man at the pool of the Bethesda, and he'll tell you that God delayed his miracle in order to strengthen his determination and his desire for him Are you going through through a hard time? Are you going through a difficult time? There's a greater reason for you not to be troubled as Joseph and Joseph will tell you that how sometimes God Delays in answering your prayer so he can prepare you for that next level that is about to come Are you going through disappointment? There's a greater reason for you not to be troubled ask Peter and he will tell you that sometimes God will allow you to go through disappointment in order to reserve you for redemption all These heroes the Bible the characters all these heroes of faith that we read about in the Bible They made God their source they made God their strength and became pearls of usefulness You have to make you have to you have to exchange your own strength for God's strength You have to exchange because on our own strength. We cannot rely but I've to understand that our strength is as perfect weakness Our courage is as perfect tower this all our sufficiency is of God everything that we can do today is by God's grace Tell you neighbor exchange your strength For God's strength Tell you other neighbor exchange your strength For God's strength you may ask how how do we do that is through God's word and by his spirit When you our strength is our feelings are our things that we can go forward or we can accomplish on our own But God's strength is the word of God is when you begin to to dive into the word of God You begin to meditate on a day and night it will give you strength to overcome any unpleasant situation that you're going through Your life depends on knowing the word of God. It is our standard It is our weapon that we fight against an enemy in our daily basis. Amen and When you're sick when you're bound when your circumstances begin to be unpleasant grab onto the whole word of God and Just begin to claim God's promises There's so many stars in the sky and just says that there's so many promises for your life And the word of God that you begin to number them that I am an overcomeer that the spirit that the raised Christ from that lives Inside of me that Jesus Christ has healed me I can do all things the Christ's begin to number all these stars that are in the heaven that shine bright and you will see How God will give you strength to overcome your pleasant situation. Amen No matter the situation they are going through tonight Whatever you might be facing There's a purpose when you're with God and when you're with God you will not lose a battle And and what more shall I say because time does not permit me to go and to talk about getting Barak Samson Jeff that Samuel and all the prophets who through faith conquered kingdoms administered justice and gain what was promised to them Who shut the mouth of lions escape the edge of the sword quench the fiery flames Whose weakness was strength to strength who became mighty in battle and who rotted the foreign armies All these biblical characters that made God's strength their hope They relied upon God with all their lives and became the heroes the champions of faith that we read about tonight Those who bless God in their hardship. They prove their sonship Just like Job when he was going through a hard time Began to say God blessed to be your name when everything was good. There was children. He was the richest man He was begin to say God blessed be your name those who prove Those who bless God in hard times and difficult times prove the sonship that they are the child of God We have to understand that God has not failed one person who relied on him God has a track record of winning and if God says that he's on your side You have to have confidence enough that if I am with God in this situation. I will come through When you have exhausted your your mental your emotional every strength that you have you can no longer rely on yourself You simply need to trust in something in someone who's stronger who's smarter. Who's wiser Jesus Christ who raises the dead is our choice tell your neighbor Jesus Christ Tell your neighbor Jesus Christ Who raises the dead is my choice? He rescued Paul in silence and he will rescue you today He healed with the woman with the issue of blood and he'll heal you today He delivered Daniel from the line speed and he will deliver you today and in the future God is on our side and he does not lose battle a man When you are confident in the promises that God has given you that if God is for you that nothing can be Against you you could will confidently say like David that even though I walked through the valley of the shadow of death that I will fear No evil because God is with me and he's fighting the battle for me When you are with God you're no longer doing things by yourself You're walking with him when you're with God you're no more lifting the load He is there leading lifting the load with you if somebody dares you if somebody tries to fight you He's not fighting you. He's fighting God And God has a trackered of not losing a battle We we talked about how Satan many times brings us discouragement It gives us pain and I want to tell you that that the greatest embarrassment you can give to Satan is to ignore his existence And and how do we do that? simply when Satan Wants you to cry you begin to laugh When Satan begins to say that There that you will always be divorced that you that's how your family be you'll raise children by your own You begin to proclaim that I'll have the greatest marriage. I'll be the happiest When you're feeling the one when Satan begins to send you pain in your body you begin to To say that through his stripes. I am healed. I'm healthy. I am the way God created me When you have luck you begin will be when Satan's saying that you will have not ends me Do you begin to say to him that my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches and to his glory? When you are facing a situation when you don't seem to have an end and the devil seems to say You're not gonna walk out that you begin to proclaim that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength Each time Satan begins to remind you of your weakness begins to remind you of your past failure begin to remind him Of his future failure because the battle has already been won somebody say hallelujah Tell your neighbor that the battle has been won and just want to go back to the counting the stars and The funny part about the interesting part about the stars is that they're always there But we can only see them most clearly at night During the day, they're still there But the most evident the most glorious time we can see the stars is when darkness begins to fill The earth when you're completely surrounded by darkness there you see stars the most clearly And and God knew that you ever he said that look in the tent You cannot see the stars step out of your comfort zone step into faith and begin to number them One by one one by one one by one because that's how many descendants will be God came to Joseph and he said that Look, I've given you a dream and all these things Joseph was going through life his father sent him to to feed the sheep and and he come into to his brothers and he sees that You know, he's given them about to give you guys bread You know, we're gonna reunite it and and Joseph's brothers begin to betray him and they time the bound him And they toss him into the dry pit at that time Joseph was surrounded by complete darkness Separate from his family from his brothers from his friends From fruit from clothes anything that you can think of The only thing he had was to look up in the sky and we be see the stars and be reminded that God said I gave you a dream And he began to number the stars Deep down inside Joseph begin to tell himself that I am a chosen generation. I am a royal priesthood I am a destined king. I know where I belong and it's not here Going from the dry pits things even got worse for for for for Joseph And he begins to be be sold into slavery by his own brothers and I mean his life is just being shattered But he keeps holding on to the dream that God has given him These begin to be sold into Potter's house as a slave and as things are somewhat beginning to pick up begin to To think it's like, okay, you know, it's getting a little bit better. It's better than the dry pit I kind of like it here But when the night comes and he looks out the window He's always reminded of the stars and God begins to tell him remember the dream that I gave you and Joseph begins to tell down to himself that I am a chosen generation. I am a royal priesthood I am a destined king. I know where I belong and it's not here From from there you think things are going good and it's gonna happen, you know, come on They're elevating you he's being gets accused falsely accused begins to be tossed in and this prison cell Away from everybody and you think that this is the part where Joseph will be give up because dreams are shattered Destiny's being ripped apart and in that darkness Only thing that he has is look out the window and see the stars
