Yes, I am back with another message from our Lord Jesus Christ. Rise up this morning and start believing in what God has spoken over your life. Because every word God has spoken, it will come to pass. Because our God is amazing. Our God is true. Our God is for us. And if you have not had that encounter, I urge you this morning to hear this message and to surrender your life into the hands of the God of heaven and earth, who has the ability and the capability of seeing you through any and every difficult season that you may be encountering. So the message of our Lord is found in the book of Acts chapter 2, starting with verse 25. And the word of God says, for David says concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad. Moreover, my flesh also will rest in hope for you will not leave my soul in hate, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption. You have made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of joy in your presence. Oh, I feel from the Holy Spirit right now, deep down in the core of my spirit, that somebody who is listening to this, they are wanting that change. They want to surrender their lives. They just don't know how to. Well, it's this simple. All you have to do is open your heart to the Lord and say, Jesus, I come to you in this moment and I surrender my life. I recognize and I realize that I am a sinner and I need you to come in to my heart to cleanse me and wash me and purify me, because I'm confessing that I need you to be my Lord and Savior, because I believe what you did on the cross for me was for me. And I desperately need you to come in, rule and reign in my heart. When we confess this, Jesus comes into our hearts. And when we believe what he did on the cross was enough for us, we become daughters and sons of the Most High God. And what God does is he writes our names in the Lamb's Book of Life, that when we leave this earth and God checks in that book, our names are found. We are washed in the blood of Jesus and we have access to enter into eternal life, to be with God, to be with Jesus, to be with the Holy Spirit for eternity. But the best news is that we don't have to wait to get to heaven to experience heaven. God says that anyone who has Jesus in their hearts can experience heaven on earth. Yes, right here, right now. Because God has a plan for your life. God doesn't want you to be without salvation. He doesn't want you to be without all of the benefits that he has already predestined for you to inherit. God says now is the time. Now is the season. Now is the moment for you to surrender it all into the hands of the one true living God. Yes, we all go through difficult seasons. Yes, we all go through trials and tribulations. But the difference between a believer and a non-believer is that when a believer is going through it, God gives us a peace that surpasses all understandings. When a non-believer goes through it, they're going through it but they don't have a foundation. And because they don't have a foundation, they will never be able to fully comprehend why they have to go through what they go through. And so being in Jesus Christ, whenever we go through our trials and our tribulations and our hard times and our difficult seasons, the Holy Spirit will always remind us of our goal of where we are going and where we are heading toward. And that is the promised land. And so God doesn't want you to miss out on all of the benefits that he has to offer you while you're on this earth. God doesn't want you to miss out on the glorious moments he has for you because it's in the here and the now, in this moment, that God wants you to seek him with all of your heart. He wants you to know him and continue getting to know him because God is the only one that can really take our souls out of the miry clay. God is the only one who can take our souls out of wherever we find ourselves in that has brought us and led us to a dark place. Only God can do the impossible in our lives. And I believe this morning God wants to show up in your life. God wants to do something marvelous, miraculous in the impossible. God wants to do what no man on this earth can do and that is restore your souls. That is restore your spirit. That is restore your joy because God wants to be the one to bring that true redemption that our soul needs, our spirit craves, and our heart needs rest for our weariness. And the only one who can give us that is Jesus because only Jesus has the power to save like no man on this earth can save. You see it's all about our inner being as opposed to our outer being. When we allow the Holy Spirit to come in and heal us from the inside out, we will begin to live a life full of God's anointing, full of God's blessings, full of God's prosperity, full of God's best days ahead because God doesn't want us to suffer. But unfortunately we have an enemy who will never make it easy for us to just come to Jesus. But with God, listen, but with God all things are possible. And I believe that you are hearing this message this morning because God wants to show up in your life. God wants to do the impossible in your life. The decision is up to you. Will you allow Jesus to do the impossible? Will you allow him to restore, transform your inner being? That's a question that only you can answer. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms. He loves you and he'll never give up on you. But the choice is up to you. I made my choice over 13 years ago and God has never let me down. God has always been there. He's always been by my side through the good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly. God has been there and he is no respecter of one person. What he does for one, he will do for another. Oh, I pray this has blessed your heart and I pray that you in the condition that you are in will make that choice to surrender your life, repent of your sins, come to the knowledge of the cross, surrender your life into the hands of the God of heaven and earth, and watch as God begins to strip away everything that is not of him. And as he gives you a new life, I guarantee you that you will become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Bye-bye for today.
