I'm Lord and Savior Jesus Christ it is again a good day to be alive we thank God for life amen we thank God that he's still on the throne amen I just want to encourage you just for a few minutes I want to call your attention to Romans the eighth chapter beginning at verse number 35 Romans the eighth chapter beginning at verse number 35 and it reads like this who shall separate us from the love of Christ shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or pearl or sward as it is written for your sake we are killed all day long we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us for I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor Angels nor principalities nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord just for few minutes I want to talk about I am persuaded amen I am persuaded as we look at the condition that our world is in and it's definitely in a mess and it just not happened have gotten in the mess it's been in the mess since the fall of man but those of us who have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior we understand that in this life you either gonna be hot or cold or either you're gonna be in it all the way or not amen ninety nine and a half won't do and at this season of my life God has allowed me to go through many things he's allowed me to have many circumstances to come my way I've experienced loss of loved one I've experienced suicidal thoughts I've experienced sickness in my body I've experienced money being funny how the experience when the doctors don't know really what's going on but through at all I had a maid of mind that no matter what happens to me I'm going with God all the way we have to understand that in this life were either in a storm we're coming out of a storm or we're getting ready to go into a storm but what I hold on to is my faith that no matter what happens our God is able to say peace be still for that reason since he's God all by himself I'm persuaded to go with him all the way many of us we talk about this walk how we love God how we worship him how we bow down before him but soon as the first storm come we are ready to throw in the town I want to encourage you today that you need to understand that this is not the time to have a pity party this is not the time to doubt God this is not the time to waver in your faith you have to trust God or either you're not you have to decide I'm going all the way or I'm not and I've made up in my mind that I'm going all of the way only the cross can bring a man to reveal the great love that God has for us the cross tell us of the bread of the Lions the depth amen the height the length of our Lord Jesus Christ Jesus was God's love gift to the world the cross reveals the Heart of Jesus point outs in love for the sinner like you and I amen we love God because He first loved us we understand that in this life as Christians you must understand that when you take on this walk with God a man there's a doctrine that's going on that are naming and claiming and all that kind of stuff but you have to understand when you are sold out for God you're gonna experience some trials and tribulations amen we don't want to give you a hard false or we don't want to make you think the picture that in this life you don't have to suffer the Bible say that in this life we would have trials and tribulations but be of good cheer amen and we have to understand when you really decide to live for Christ you gonna experience some heartaches on this Jurnee amen as we traveled from earth to heaven amen you're gonna experience tribulation amen affliction being under pressure and if you're not careful and know who's able to handle your pressure pressure of life will cause you to lose your mind pressure of life will cause you to commit suicide pressure of life will cause you to throw in the towel when you begin to operate on your own strength and not the Lord shrimp not only that we understand that in this life we are gonna have distress amen we're gonna be hemmed in we're gonna be pressed in sometimes amen it looks like your back is up against the wall amen but you have to be of good courage because there's never been a battle that God could not handle not only that we have to understand our persecution now there is a difference in you talking about somebody named talking about you back that's not persecuted persecution is when you are being targeted because you have chosen to follow Jesus all the way you're gonna be press acuter you're gonna have sufferings amen sometime in this life if it's not one thing it's another amen it's sometimes in this life it looked like before you can get up you all read it down again but you have to understand that your suffering won't last always not only that we experience famine amen because you love God don't mean that you won't lose your job it does not mean that your money won't get funny it does not mean that sometimes you run shorter think of you've lost your job you've lost loved ones amen etc you have to understand even with famine in the land we hold on through a man what the Libyans say and my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory so we understand for the believer no matter what comes up against us amen we got somebody to help us win the war you understand not only that nakedness he says listen or the lack of clothing there are many people don't have what you have many times we take things for granted we take for granted that we have shoes there's someone with no shoes there's someone with no clothing there's someone a man that does not have a bed to sleep on but we have to understand when the believer finds himself in that situation it's not always because he's done something wrong sometimes God has you on display a man how a believer ought to act when they're going through difficult times you have to understand amen not only that God is using you for his glory and not only that we have to understand pearl when it talks about pearl danger amen the old sage used to say Lord keep me through dangers seen and unseen abuse of mistreatment these are things that the believer will go through not only that we understand the sward a man death a murder when Paul wrote this letter to the Christians in Rome he had experienced every one of these except the sward tradition tells us that Paul was initially beheaded for the cause of Christ as not only that I want to encourage ment for the Christian there's encouragement for the Christians Christians go through their trials and their suffering just like the loss a man the Bible say it rains on the just and the unjust the difference is that the believer has the Lord with him in verse 18 Paul wrote of the suffering of a Christian we are encouraged by knowing that nothing can't separate us from the love of God many of us can trust God when we have money in the bank and many of us can trust God when we have a job many of us can trust God when all the bills are paid and all our family is doing fine and we have it going on as the world what said but can you really trust God when your back is up against the wall can't you trust God with your account is in the negative can you trust God when the doctors say I've done all I can do can you trust God when you've been lied on and mistreated by the very ones you've done the most for can't you trust God with your talked about just because you decide to live God you have to understand in this journey we walk by faith and not by sight I cannot understand it with my natural eyes but my spirit man says that God is able to deliver I'm persuaded this morning that I will not turn around I will not bow down to the hands of the enemy too many of us are hot and cold one day we hot one day we call one day we love God one day we're down in God one day we worship God one day we wonder if God is real that's not the real faith my slave says because he lives I can face tomorrow my face says because God is still on the throne that no matter what happens to me I am in good hands my faith says if I live I'm good if I die I'm good that's what my faith says because my faith is total in the hands of God the one that said let that be and that was the one that put green in the grass and made the oceans endlessly the same God that's able to let it rain in fifth Ward and the sunshine in fifth in child Paul that's where my faith is the one just spoke breath into my body he may have made a woman out of the ribs of man who can do what our God can't do why would you doubt him man somebody clap those hands and tell God thank you you have to understand God uses troubles and suffering for the good of them a man who I'll call according to his purpose that's why we can say and we know that all things they didn't say all things felt good but all these work together for the good of them who love the Lord according to his purpose and what we experience is now I believe it's gonna work out for the good because man we see men all over the world of every kind of nation bowing down and calling on that name Jesus you have to understand sometime God will allow us to get in a situation that mama can help us your money can't help you your education can't help you yo good looks can't help you you have to put your back up against a wall and the only way you can come out you have to look to the hills from which cometh your help not only that the conquest of the Christian Amen the believer in Christ is victorious that's why my name is victory I have victory over the pur demic I have victory over cancer victory over HIV I have victory over high blood pressure I have victory over the enemies because of Who I am in Christ Jesus the scriptures say I'm more than a conqueror somebody shout more than a conqueror up which means I'm overwhelmingly a conqueror the root word in the term over the lamb and conquering it's just like Nike the shoe company nice elected this name because of its meaning we are conquerors through Christ and nothing can't separate us from the love of God do you believe that you are conqueror today do you believe that you have victory today do you believe that you are winner today well why are you having a pity party why don't you just give God praise in advance knowing that the battle is already won come on and clap those hands and tell God thank you according to His divine power had given us all these that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him that had called us to glory and virtue a conqueror is a person who defeats the enemy can I extra on the question are there any conquerors in the house are there any winners in the house if you're watching Facebook Amen YouTube you need to decline in your living room I am victorious I am a winner because of what Jesus did on Calvary Paul was convinced in verses 38 and 39 that nothing could separate him from God's children from his love nothing could separate cars children from his love isn't it good to know that nothing can separate me death cannot do in life cannot do it ain't just cannot do it principalities cannot do it powers cannot do it that these present cannot the beasts have come high dead or any other creature can separate me from the love of God I don't know about the almond I got a made up mine that no matter what comes my way I am persuaded that I'm gonna hate loner Jesus and I won't she's gonna hang over me all the way I tell you a winner on that arrow winners come on and shout thank you Jesus you got to be company in this very thing that he that begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ for this he was a bridge over troubled waters he is in his hand he died he died he rose [Applause] he got his head so no matter what you're going through no matter how long this goal and I will bless the Lord at all times and his praise shall continue in my mouth because he got up I am victorious because he got up I am a winner because he got a conqueror because he got up I give him praise and I'll give him glory because he got up because he lives I can face tomorrow I'm persuaded and I won't turn around let us pray God our Father how we thank you for all you've done your goodness and your mercy towards us thank you master thank you for saving power thank you Lord for dying for me in spite of me before I was formed in my mother's womb God you knew that I would need to save you thank you for loving me so thank you that I've accepted you as Lord of my life so god I win no matter what if you allow me to live long I win if you allow me to check out here soon I still win to live as Christ to die escape so I thank you God that death is not all for those who die in Christ Jesus Oh hallelujah bless your name now I have victory over sickness victory over the property thank you Lord God for that that gives me joy that gives me strength that gives me hope that gives me power and lord I pray for those who are lost today wherever you are Jesus say Bible say if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus died rose from the dead then you shall be saying God is able to save you today in your car in your bathroom in your bedroom in your home am it that I am a sinner and I need a Savior that's the first step then it's my prayer you find a Bible believe in teaching church that will help disciple you as you walk this thing out I know many might say well I'm not going to church because it's hypocrites in the church well that's a poor excuse its hypocrites in your home and you're going home tonight hypocrites on your job and you go to work every day this walk ain't about them is about me and God Shuji this day whom you serve tomorrow's not promised only thing we have is right now give your life to Christ then you understand I win no matter what Jesus name we pray a man it's our prayer that you have been helped encouraged on this journey may the grace of God is love is sweet communion men rest rule and abide henceforth and forevermore until we meet again may God bless and keep you is our prayer take care
