Can’t You See That God Has His Hand Over You? (Listen To This!)

now there may be someone who has gotten to the point where you are so low that you think God has forgotten you there may be someone who finds themselves today at a point of uncertainty you don't know whether to turn left or right you don't know whether to cry or smile and regarding whatever it is that's making you feel this way if it's sin if it's addiction if it's your marriage or if it's the fact that you can't seem to find someone to marry if it's your job or financial situation I want to encourage you to pray about it pray about it before you give up pray about it before you look anywhere else pray about it before you look to anyone else and the reason I'm telling you to pray about it is because too often when we find ourselves in these certain positions we either drift away and get lost in the sea of our problems but we start paddling trying to find a way out of our problems we start trying to use our own strength to get out of the messes we're in we do our best to use our resources and know-how just to try to save ourselves but I would like to encourage you to pray about it call on the name that is above every other name the name of Jesus pray about it and call on the lion of the tribe of Judah I want to share something with you I have seen many people walk in and out of my life some came and they were a blessing some came and they were a challenge I've met people who I thought would be in my life for many many years but sadly and often unexpectedly they walked away however I have also met a handful of people who to my surprise became my encouragers they were my teammates in the things of God however for one reason or another they came for a season they served their purpose but then life careers Ambitions callings they took us in different directions [Music] however out of all the people we will ever come across in life there is only one who will never disappoint us there is only one who can satisfy our Soul's deepest needs there is only one who has ever uttered the words I will never leave you nor forsake you and was able to keep the promise his name is Jesus Christ there is none like him there is none who can rival him there is none on Earth or any person who has ever lived who can come close to Jesus Christ loves with an unconditional love he speaks speak with unmatchable wisdom he is the Good Shepherd and his presence it casts out all fear all unclean things and anxiety have to leave his presence heals it renews and it restores at the sound of his name demons tremble on this Earth miracles happen Healing The Sick restoring sight to the blind unstopping deaf ears all those are part of his resume he is the way the truth and the life and so dear friend when you open your heart and embrace all that Jesus Christ has to offer this will impact your life this decision is the one that will radically transform your life if you really surrender and embrace the Lord not only does he bring eternal life but in this present day here on this Earth if you truly surrender to Jesus Christ he's able to bring you Joy and how many of us could do with a little more joy in our lives [Music] Psalm 16 verse 11 says you make known to me the path of life in your presence there is fullness of joy at your right hand our Pleasures forevermore when Jesus Christ comes into your heart he brings Joy and you will discover that Joy is ever present in your darkest hour Joy is ever present in the midst of Chaos and that is simply because Jesus Christ is the source of joy so I ask you dear friends have you invited the Lord into your heart have you embraced him have you met the one who can offer Amazing Grace have you met the one who can heal your deepest scars have you met the one who raised Lazarus from the dead if you haven't met him you can you can accept him in your life today and he will come into your heart he is the one who can renew he can restore he can rejuvenate Jesus Christ the son of God he is waiting for you to seek Him the word of God teaches us that faith is the key to everything for the believer in Christ it's by faith that we come to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior it's also by faith that we live our lives with joy and gladness knowing that there is eternity to be spent with the father above and perhaps one of the most prominent verses in the Bible about faith is Hebrews 11 verse 6. but without faith it is impossible to please him for he who comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him this underlines just how much faith is required for the believer and on the topic of Faith there are times you have to encourage yourself there are times that you will have to learn to talk to yourself and tell yourself the promises of God tell yourself who God says you are and when you do this you will find that it will lift you up to walk on top of your situation rather than underneath it it will lift your faith tell yourself the word of God such as Mayhem chapter 1 verse 7. the Lord is good a refuge in times of trouble he cares for those who trust him foreign tell yourself Isaiah 40 verse 29 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak tell yourself Deuteronomy 31 verse 8 the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you he will never leave you nor forsake you do not be afraid do not be discouraged when I read Jeremiah 33 verse 3 which says call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know when I read that scripture I hear the word of God telling me to pray about it whatever situation you face today whatever circumstances or situation God wants you to call on him Psalms 50 verse 15 says call on me in the day of trouble I will deliver you and you will honor me that means pray about it so let your hope be found in God he says trust me in your times of trouble and I will rescue you he says abide in me and I will restore you he says come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest I would like to ask you the question how is your heart today both spiritually and physically what is the condition of your heart are you troubled are you worried or maybe anxious John 14 verse 1 says let not your heart be troubled you believe in God believe also in me these words spoke by Jesus should give you comfort and if you're still needing reasons to be convinced as to why you should not let your heart be troubled the word of God in John 14 27 says peace I leave with you my peace I give to you not as the world gives do I give to you let not your heart be troubled neither Let It Be Afraid and Isaiah 43 2 reads when you pass through the waters I will be with you through the rivers they shall not overflow you when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned nor shall the flame Scorch you finally Psalm 23 verse 4 says yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me God has sai
