Faith Journey Phil 4:6-7 Learn the true meaning of faith. God wants you to learn how faith works. He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Heart gets hardened against authority. Do not be anxious about anything… let your requests be know to God. Pray, Stand, Wait.  Don’t trust the arm of flesh. You have to put in ingredients : The Word, Ask, Believing. Whatever it takes to get faith.  Praise and worship.
Romans 10:17 Mechanism-natural, extablished process by which something comes about. Stand, hearing the Word, Faith is taught.So faith comes from hearing and hearing through the Word of Christ. Stay in faith.Your trial is your testimony. You can’t make it without faith..
Matthew 13:58 (Read this whole chapter, good for you, …and He did not many works there, because of their unbelief.
Hebrews 11:1-Now Faith, Eph 3:16-17 Strengthen you with power., 2 Cor 5:7-We live by faith, not by sight. Heb 11:6-Without faith it is impossible to please God John 11:40- Did I not tell you that if you believe…, James 1:3- testing of your faith produces perservenence,  Matt 21:22-if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer. 
1. Hearing
2. Believing
3. Seeing-eyes of faith
4. Speaking Faithm(Watch your mouth)
May every true believer take a moment to acknowledge that the Bible stands as the greatest book ever written. With a firm Amen. No Doubt. Smith Wigglesworth.

Til the Storm Passes By

Sunday morning
Pastor Gloria
 
Psalm 57:1-2 Our victory is in Him. We will have storms. How do you handle the storm? No matter what, God is there. We are never alone. 
I cried out to God most high.Be merciful to me, O God. David was remembering everything he had done wrong. God surround me.  Give me another chance. Be a peacemaker. You will have storms in your life. No matter what.
We cry out to God who fulfills His purpose in us.  God is in control.  God has a plan.
Eph 1:3-4 He’s got your life. He knows the future. Cry out to Him. Time for us to cry out to God.  God wants you to understand that He’s got you. Where there is fear, there is torment. Wait on God. You will come through- the storm will pass.
Psalm 138:3-7, Eph 1: 11-12, Exodus 9:23-24 the prophet Isaiah knew all about the storms of life.
Isaiah 25:4 You have to go through things. God will take care of you.
Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Daniel all talked about the storms they had to endure. In the new Testament 4 times Jesus and the disciples are mentioned as being in the midst of the storm.
Til the Storm Passes By
In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face
While the storm howls above me
And there’s no hiding place
Mid the crash of the thunder precious Lord hear my cry
Keep me safe til the storm passes by.
Til the storm passes over, til the thunder sounds no more
Til the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast and let me stand in the hollow of thy hand
Keep me safe til the storm passes by.
And all God’s people said AMEN!
 


Stop Blocking Your Miracle

6-30-2024
Sunday Morning
Pastor Gloria
 
John 11:1-44
1. Martha & Mary, sisters of Lazarus. Sometimes your mouth can get you in a lot of trouble.  Martha had a big mouth. Stop blocking your miracle.
He deliberately didn’t go to her because she was telling Him what to do. When you want a miracle you need to walk it out.
2. God’s got it. (Let Him be God. He can delay a miracle, His will can and does enter in our natural world.)
God wants to do things His way. Take your hand off of it. Maybe God wants to humble you. Stand by faith. Trust God. God gets the glory. 
3. Martha- gets frustrated and blamed Jesus for the death of her brother Lazarus.
4. He will come to the place of unbelief (tomb) to see if you are still in faith. 
People don’t want to go through anything. Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.  Don’t tell Him how. Trust Him.
5. Human logic will block a miracle in our life. Faith is built. You have to wait. Sometimes it takes time. Forgive, have joy.
6.  Stay in the Word, and His promises. He wants you to be healed. Everything you go through is your testimony. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  Stand fast therefore.
Mark 5:35-40, Hebrews 4:15-16, Matthew 13:58, Deut 29:29. Hebrews 7:25, ROmans 8:27, 2 Cor. 6:1-2 


It’s TIme for the Cry for Miracles

Pastor Gloria 
Sunday Morning
 
2Kings 4:9 
1) The Holy man passes by regularly
2) Let’s make a room for Elisha
3)Jesus is not just passing by, He is always there
4) Make room for Him.
5) His presence is always with the man or woman of God. Luke 18:37 Mark 6:40 Blind Bartimaus was told by someone, Jesus is passing by now. Faith is a now word. Jesus would have passed by, but Peter said “Is that you?”
2 Kings 4:6 It’s not enough to say Jesus is here (presence) but has it changed you and me.
6) God’s presence is like a river.
7) His power is always moving
2 Kings 4:6 Joshua 10:12-14
Stand Still and see the glory of God. (Let Him be God and your miracle will manifest. (clear or obvious to the eye or mind) (Display- by ones acts or demonstration of faith.) (Truth-proof-the evidence is on the way) 
Wait for it:
Jesus is passing by.
Someone has to say, “Lord, is that you?”
Take time to cry out to God for your own miracle.
Jesus is passing by:
1) Stand still and see the glory of God.
2) Let Him be God (take your hands off your situation)
3) Release your faith and bind your fears in the name of Jesus.
4) God knows every circumstance in our lives.
5) God will hear your cry, and your miracle will manifest itself.
6) When you cry out,


The Lord is My Strength and Shield

5/15/2024
Wednesday evening service
Pastor Gloria
 
Psalm 28:7 God knocks on your heart. The Lord is my strength and shield.  Go in the strength of the Lord. In Him my heart trusts and I am helped!. The Word accomplishes what He wants. How do you act when you go through.  Is your heart trusting?
Study to show yourself approved. Stand when you don’t understand to learn the Lord is your strength. He is protection around you. David realized that he needed help.He trusted that God would protect him from his enemies. Draw close to God. Don’t wait for a disaster.  Let Him be your strength. Get out from behind the wheel. Trust not in yourself.  he is your strength. No matter what. God will take care of you. Stay til you get an answer. He plants you where He wants you. Steadfast. I can’t do this, but You can do it through me.
Get the Word inside you. The Lord is my light and my salvation.  Whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom whall I be afraid? Believe what you read.  Keep the Word in you to have victory. Read the Word over and over! The Word builds you up. If you trust Him with all your heart. GOD FIRST!! 
You can make it. His strength is in you. Don’t fear anything. God is in control. God is trying to strengthen you. Where there is fear, there is torment. Perfect Love casts out fear. Don’t get weak in your mind. Don’t let your circumstances dictate to you. By your actions and your words are the ony way the devil can defeat you. Fear is of the devil. Don’t give into fear.
Hebrews 10:35-36 God is for you. “Therefore do not throw away your confidence which has great reward.”
Don’t lose your confidence.  Don’t forget what God said in His Word. Don’t distrust the experience you have had in Him. Don’t look at what you are going through right now, and say “Where is God when I need Him.” Let God be God. Take your hands off and let God be God. What does God say about not having confidnece in Him? 2 Tim 1:7-9, 1 Thes 4:4-about control of our bodies. We are vessels of a loving God.   2 Tim 2:20-21 No Fear Here! Ps 91:1-2 He is our defender, protection in all things. (Mind,l body, Spirit) by the power of the Holy Spirit. Ps. 121:1-2 Isa 43:3 This word is  GO THROUGH. These things have no power over you. God will take care of you in the midst of trials.
You need MORE WORD in you. Comprehend His greatness. You Have what you say. Don’t go on feelings! Go on what you KNOW! His Word is Your promise. IF you trust Him. Comprehend His greatness and power. He can take care of you.
1 The 4:4, 2 Tim 2:20-21, Ps 91:1-2, Ps 121: 1/2 Isa 43:3 
Our Faith in Him can guard us during trials in the same way a shield would in battle.
Strength is to comprehend His greatness-His power, promises, His Love.
His Shield is our faith in who he is to each one of us. Turst in Him and let him have your battles in life. Let him take control. Amen and Amen.
Our shield is faith and trust in God at all times.
