What next?


I remember the feeling I felt when I graduated from high school. I felt like I accomplished something I have been working on my whole life prior to that event. Now, am standing at a similar cross road where I am expected to make some of the most important decisions that will defiantly affect my future! No pressure eh! I know that once am sure of what I am going to do the next step would be walking forward with faith.  For I know if I am in the perfect will of He who created me all will be well.

Peter is one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. He has experienced the Lord’s miracles in his own life. The night the disciples saw Jesus walking on water most of them thought it was a ghost and they were terrified. Then Jesus said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14: 27; when you continue to read on what Peter says it’s actually amazing.  “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.  “Come,” Jesus said. Matthew 14:28-29

Do you see the pattern or the steps that unfolded in this story? First disciples were scared thinking it was a ghost. However, once peter knew it was Jesus the atmosphere changed. Peter asked the Lord to tell him the next step and Jesus did!! God taught me a valuable lesson from this passage. In times of anxiety or tough situations we need to look at everything around us and remember that He we serve is a God that isn't limited to material or earthy things, He isn’t governed by rules of gravity, He is everything but ordinary. Once we recognize that our next step should be to prayerfully ask Him to lead us. Though the reply might not be immediate; He will call us to where He wants us to go. The most important thing here after prayer and seeking God’s will is to then take that first step in faith. It was only the faith Peter had that helped Him walk alongside Christ on water, who would think it was possible to walk on water. But when u serve a Living, Loving, Majestic, Incredible, non-Ordinary God all that is impossible becomes possible!!! “I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13

Notes

  • So first seek His face, come in prayer to ask Him what next?
  • Then when He tells us, though the reply might not be immediate, but if we wait on Him He will give us an answer
  • Then comes taking that first step with faith


Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
