Restoration After Suffering (Taglish) - Jeff Eliscupidez

we're ending now the series why me so on first time perfect i'm nothing okay but don't worry next week we're going to start a brand new series as well and finance but we've been we've been talking about the series about suffering puni job and we're asking this question why bad things happen to good people and for the past two weeks we've talked about the reality for the suffering there is such thing as suffering when you're a christian suffering happens i remember one time remember the story accidents true story and then two weeks i see you one week's a rehab and then and the corona final discussion because accidentally the reality of suffering and jesus affirmed it to his disciple in this world you'll have many troubles so in case you're wondering why christians why good people not experience them bad things well guess what we're in a fallen world in fact according to c.s lewis if you find yourself okay a desire which nothing in this world can satisfy come back the only logical explanation is that i was made for another world wow so going become a satisfies that is convinced you're you're longing for the fulfillment in this world maybe just maybe you're made for another world cup because you're not made for this world the bible says we're just merely pastors about we're just merely pilgrims of this world and then we've talked about the reason for suffering last week but i preach about that the reason for something we're longing for reason maybe we carry the idea of fairness if i do good things i don't deserve any bad experiences because again we're longing for reasons and we've talked about last week don't long for reasons long for god's revelation of who he is how powerful and mighty in control he is and miss out on don't worry www.org been preaching last week you can watch you can listen today we're going to talk about restoration everybody say restoration last chapter 42 after job had prayed for his friends the lord restored so he restored the opponent lord so there is such thing as restoration after suffering but then it was secretly job but we want to be restored how we wish because of suffering or just like job the best is passionate bless more than the former situation yeah i love things that have restored i'm in uh uh about five or six years ago i was driving a 1982 mercedes benz and i want things restored in fact one of my favorite uh tv shows is king of restoration but anyway how all things how dilapidated out of fuse things original uh uh um you're feeling so madonna depressed as an african-american because of other people's problems other people seen it don't you just despite the fact that you're giving your tithes and offering niloho kanaluki nigoshio because of that next afrika and don't you just wish you can just go to a shop at madrid historian fortune how we wish but the reality a lot of people lose suffering a lot of people who suffering ended up hurt and pain in pain ended up looking fine but the reality they're depressed they're sad they're hurt they're confused lonely and loved they have this all they have all these things going on to their mind i'm feeling like no i'm fine i'm good who've gone through a lot of suffering the hindi lena overcome they become cynical they're in constant denial i'm happy oh they turn bitter not better they turn bitter full of presentment they become haters i mean these people became haters they become doubters they become distrustful they don't trust anyone and and okay but a lot of people are ending their lives because in dining and handle because this depression this suffering that they're going through they just want to end their lives in fact in japan alone would you believe japan vows to cut suicide rate by 20 over ten years suicide rate in japan per year well guess what if the annual suicide rate of japan is thirty thousand persons thirty thousand people per year so that's an average of two thousand plus per month we can overcome really but according to this news and 2012 world happiness report philippines doppel are sad and depressed now in fact there are 93 suicides per hundred thousand filipinos in 2012 report puerto we are the least happiest southeast asian people in fact we rank 103rd out of the 155 po that's a nerve vanilla and a country's worldwide hundred third times at least happiest people in the world wow because now when we're suffering we're trying to make it like from eight to nine pm and then vice but what's the secret of job we'll find that in james 5 11 this is james the brother of jesus he wrote this hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years after puna and joe because job is considered the book of jobs is considered as one of the oldest books for in the bible so sinapi tony james many many many many many years after as you know we count as bless those who have persevered you have heard of job's perseverance imagine when this was written hundreds of years thousands of years somebody james not only dunamis jobs perseverance right and something you have seen what the lord had finally brought about so james was saying if you persevere enough brought about john no matter what happened to us god will always will bring a good good things from that situation so what brought about the perseverance is a renewed mind a repentant heart and a restored life somalia the key is persevering the key is not giving up the key is not turning your lives to be bitter and full of resentment the key is not giving up so if you're suffering today as we've seen last week remember last week one way or the other it's either papua thai suffering either in the midst of suffering or we just got out of suffering because the reality in this world we are not of this world we are in this world but not of this world so suffering is so common because god uses it for our own advantage so after all the questioning we got remember last week where we left off job see joppa questions and then remember god asked him okay job appraise yourself like a man i'm gonna question you and we know the story from last week's preaching god just asked him questions beyond he can even comprehend so those questions were just those are rhetorical questions s if the milky ways the galaxies i know every stars by name um i run the whole universe i need a problem on is that your problem so that's why it led to a renewed mind after god showed him show job the power of his might after god showed him his infinite wisdom that he commands the universe he contained the wild animals naked puni joke he had a renewed mind and this is my hope for you and me now when we persevere enough and hold on to god we're going to have a renewed mind let's move on to the story job 42 verse 12 then job replied to the lord i know now he knows i know that you can do all things all of us on this job and dominican question okay god why is this happening why good good people experience bad bad after those three chapters i believe the questioning and questioning and questioning god how powerful and mighty he is then job understood i know that you can do all things no no god i know that you can do all things and no plan of yours can be thwarted there's far greater purpose suffering the job remember this happened thousands of years ago and up until now we're in the gig 2014 and millions and millions of people through the years have changed their lives because of the story of job in fact james naginami that was 2000 years ago and here we are 2014. 2014 what's the purpose but then it's it it's enough to understand that his god is in control you see sometimes we want to change we want to change the circumstances but let me tell you something god is more concerned he's more interested in changing you rather than your circumstances for you to have delayed gratification be faithful with the little that you have so sometimes we're so interested in changing the situation okay so but god is more interested in changing you rather than your circumstances in this opinion my ears had heard of you we talked about this last week not really neglected real and personal because he heard about the goodness of god but it's different when you experience him and suffering accomplishes that but never will you believe me nor forsake me every single verse is a bible about healing will be real and lord give me give me that healing so what what what job understood and you might deny indiana remember see marie i mean you know marie gonzalez is a preaching a few months ago maripo and marie gonzalez maryland pushing one year to leave according to her doctor last july or july or september october so marie okay she's she's one of her members she needed eighteen sessions in chemotherapy and around hundred twenty two hundred fifty thousand pesos per session and the position that law because of economic situation but you know what she dress up in the in the morning and then go to work she dress up for sunday service [Music] what she's doing is just keep holding on and hoping that god will heal her in fact the texas again yesterday talking about you remember your story last time i preach about her side effect because she's undergoing three chemotherapies april when i was at the height of suffering from excruciating pain due to the wounds who said uh i will be living for life with the pain reliever like morphine which is patched 24 7. for the rest of your life then i'm going to one year ma pachikan and the morphine something but by the grace of god he healed the wounds in a matter of days and the pain was gone up to this day i got to work daily praise god again let's give god praise [Applause] a palliative care you know but then come to office every day and here you are here's a woman whose life is numbered but then goes to office every day you know what pushed him the hope what what made him her persevere knowing that if you want to walk on water if you want to really experience god's miracle just like peter remember see peter knight see jesus walks of water experience and how many of you here you want to experience those miracles about healing restoration of family you want to do that well if you want to walk on water you have to get out of the boat experience blessing the god you have to live it out by faith because the right you shall live by faith but many times i will not even step out of the boat we want to always in our comfort zone wanna you don't want to go out in faith but if you want to experience god's blessing remember is peter when his eyes is fixed on jesus he was walking on top of the water wave he shifted you icing out to the waves and then suddenly started drowning and that's the case for most of us here when we're suffering our eyes is fixed more on the problem your problem becomes bigger for example this clicker is yeah but if i put this in front of my eyes it's bigger than all of you here and sometimes we treat problems like that but oh my god i know god is bigger than the universe he had this far the universe in the palm of his hands so if you're suffering today god created the trees hello fix our eyes on jesus focus on him go out of your comfort zone faith requires not seeing faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see are you believing for healing well you have to step out of your boat and believe god and claim it lord i am healed in jesus name are you believing let's believe god i'm really strong your family i'm looking for a day i'm looking for a day foreign guy you have to see beyond the shore you have to leave the shore and go out there and then in this yeah when he persevered he also had a repentant heart music god and all he can do is just confess and and humble himself and just repent sabine thought therefore sabine job remember i despise myself and repent in dust and ashes not because he's seen i i just want to make this clear him he push an agreement because no he's sinned you know why he's he's sinned because of his ignorance of who god is uh of saket the boils and all he questioned god god reasoned with me god why do you contend against me he was looking for new information god gave him a new relationship he was looking for a reason god gave him a revelation he's looking for the why of suffering god showed him the rule beyond behind that suffering that's why today if you're here and you're still questioning our lack of understanding is not an excuse for lack of trust we're going to spend the rest of our life trying to look for reasons i'm going to show you the different parts on an iphone on the phone you don't even check the manual now if we are trusting apple company enough now you don't have to fully understand how an iphone works before you use it how come hey god gus come on god reason with me explain it to me the iphone why do we trust steve jobs and the rest of his team that they know their job so well that if i dial a number you should repent before god god before i trust you let me understand first why and most of you here in addressing you're not trusting god because you want to fully understand the situation that's why you need to repent and lastly renewed mind a repentant heart and lastly a restored life and the restoration after the suffering but then again these three will only happen just like job just like what james said if we persevere if we hold on to god if we do not give up if we do not turn away from god who indeed these things will happen because repentance means turning from sin and turning towards god and now eventually everything will be restored and let me know the restore sakaya because in the restoration first of all what was restored to to say to job was its reputation remember let me let me just give you an idea and inside yo agenda satan is not for joke to suffer indian agenda it's just a means to an end an agenda satan is to discredit so you read c.s lewis book you free labor minimum for who you are happiness according to this verse does job fear god for nothing the word fear is in a positive context indeed you feel the negative no people nothing fear it means uh inward awe and wondering i love you so much i fear not indicative [Music] foreign sorry i'm a christian i'm reserving my first kiss during my my wedding and look at what happened in verse 42 he was a film by god his reputation to his friends and family members were all severed the lord had said these things to job he said to elephants i am angry with you and your two friends because you have not spoken about the truth about me as my servant job has listen up side note if you're a friend to someone who's suffering okay remember peanut butter they're moralizing the the situation if you're a friend to someone who's suffering and you cannot relate to this preaching because i think they're gonna manage to suffer well it's an application of the parasite if you have a friend a relative a love but no suffering just keep your mouth shut just sympathize with them the least you can do is just ask for pray can i pray for you and you're trying to find reason if you're a friend to someone who's suffering an application just just you want to console them according to cs lewis when pain is to be born a little courage helps more than much knowledge a little a little human sympathy more than much courage and the least think true i don't even is simply means a slight race stinky means a small solution the least stinky cure of the love of god more than all so if you're a friend to someone who's suffering the least you can do can i pray for you can i can i just know just a tincture i don't know it's going to be thank you you enjoy let me join this washing i believe god wants you here can i just pray for you well according to your dna package so something exactly god my sermon job will pray for you and i will accept his prayer from job the servant now becomes job the intercessor wow suddenly god is hearing job's prayer and i will not deal with you or dear folly remember young reputations all his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him wow suddenly job the nobody becomes job the big time number young health yeah historically they converted and consoled him over the trouble the lord had brought on him and each one gave him a piece of silver and gold ring wow because not only his reputation was restored also his riches was restored dilemma rich is never restored the lord blessed the latter part of joe's life more than the former he had fourteen thousand ships six thousand comments big time parameter big time and he had also seven sons and three daughters wow i'm a blessed man knowing the language there found women as beautiful as job's daughter and their father okay granted them an inheritance along with their brothers before the incident and after the suffering yeah seven thousand fourteen thousand you oxen your 500 to one thousand donkey now five hundred to one thousand you also 3 000 to 6 000 comments imagine wealth yeah because during those times wealth is measured and look at the children he used to have seven sons and three daughters how in the world seven sons and three daughters she misses job remember last week she misses you honey got paramadaga so imagine why in the world let me tell you something because the ten children who died were still alive they're in heaven job actually had not lost them now after all these years okay if you have if you suffer because of the death of a loved one guess what it's irreplaceable they are replaceable hindi candy dinoblade because a dead son is a dead son the memories attached to it hindi papa another son a dead daughter is a dead daughter so if you experience death in the family guess what your hope just like david when his son died i cannot i he cannot go back here but i can go to him when you die and then look at the picture job live a hundred and forty years after all this job live another 140 years if we're doing the equation right now 140 years he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation imagine wow 140 years and still strong and job sabini i cursed the day i was born but ninja died an old man and full of years wow don't you just wish that the restoration party will be twice as uh as the same rather now let me ask you this question would this message of the book of job change if god did not restore the job his former blessing your message about suffering blessing i don't think so he will remain god because one thing that job understood is mawlana as long as i have god nothing else will matter job finally learned that when nothing else was left he had god and that was enough because god plus nothing equals everything so my point is i don't know i don't know i have no idea but one thing i'm sure god is full of mercy and love he wants the best for you just hold on change the perspective about suffering repent if there's sin and god will restore you here or after life i don't know but one thing is for sure you're going to be reunited with god you know not all suffering ends in chapter 42 like chapter 42 and everything will be restored but i like what what zack said if he heals me then god is good god is god if he doesn't heal me he remains god and he remains good because the worst among you is to die physically and be with my makers if you are here today and you're suffering financial difficulty i don't know and then you're turning you're back against god because at the end of your life we're going to die and hopefully hindi kabumi that's why you can persevere but let me give you an idea what you can perceive remember the verse that i showed you i should know sabine james we count as bless those who persevere because you have heard of joe's perseverance and i've seen the lord finally brought about because happened and it brought about the renewed man the repentant or the restored life but animating because there's another sentence in this verse that i want you to focus on and for the rest of your life [Music] i want you to understand the last part because i omitted it intentionally because i reserve it for the last and here's the truth the lord is full of compassion and mercy the lord is full not half but full of compassion and mercy that's why you can hold on to him because alamo he's in control he's in a young he's powerful he's in control he's full of wisdom but then powerful delicate powerful all-knowing omniscient omnipresent a sovereign god and then full of compassion and mercy towards you wow i'm in good hands no matter what happened to us god will always write the last chapter of our lives so as we end this series you're asking god why me why me why me it's okay to question god no question about it somebody questions god an innocent sufferer as well 2000 years ago this guy no sin at all and he questioned the father in heaven while he was at the cross he was questioning the intention of the father in fact why have you forsaken me my god my god why have you forsaken me he was about to die he was about to breathe his last breath and he was questioning the father why have you forsaken me and some of you are in that situation question but my hope in prayer is that you'll have the same response when jesus questioned god here's his last response father yes i'm questioning you father yes i'm asking why you've forsaken me but father i want you to know into your hands i commit my spirit into your hands i commit my cancer into your hands i commit my questions into your hands i commit my doubts into your hands i commit my fears so if you're suffering today your response into your hands god i commit my spirit i don't know what we're going through right now but one thing i do know this god is full of compassion and mercy loves you who knows the number of your hair who wants to spend eternity with you so if you're suffering please persevere hold on never give up don't turn your back against god because ultimately he's wise enough to know you need it he's powerful enough to control the situation god is always in control it's never about satan vs god hello from the beginning from the onset of the discussion it's never about god versus satan no it's only god satan was just asking for permission hello satan has no power he's just asking god for permission so it's never about god versus satan it's god alone god can see you are you willing to commit everything to god today because believe me i've told you something jesus in this world you'll have many troubles and because of what he did on the cross thank god because jesus oh overcome the world if you're here today [Music] if you're here today the key if your suffering is to commit your life to jesus how i wish i can give you another advice or other option but if you don't have a relationship with christ you cannot make it you'll try to rely on your own wisdom and understanding the genuine i'm not talking about you put that in church praise the lord hallelujah i'm talking about genuine no hanky-panky no no playing around just just genuine relationship and lordship of christ in your life i'm not talking about that i'm talking about really jesus i love you and i'm committing myself to you stop playing religion life is short so if you want to commit your life to christ today i'm giving you this option jesus into your hands i commit my spirit so if there's anyone here you want to commit your life to christ and go through this suffering not alone but in the hands of a merciful and loving god you want to receive christ today can you just raise your hand if you're invited for the first time this is your moment this is the purpose why you're here to know christ personally so if you are here you want to receive christ can just raise your hand if you've been coming here for the longest time can you just raise your hand if you want to receive christ at the yes i see those hands say mmr if you're raising your hand just keep it up don't push alike yes you want to receive christ just raise your hands a balcony you want to receive christ so then commit your life to christ just raise your hands it's a public and bold declaration lord i commit my life to you i'm questioning you but i want you to know god starting today i'm committing my life to you come on raise your hands if that's you you're raising your hand can you just pray this simple prayer with me use your own words if you want but we're just going to pray today the bible says if you declare with your mouth and receive in your heart and believe it the christ reigns he died he rose again you will be saved could you just pray this prayer with me lord jesus i have a lot of questions but starting today i'm going to set it aside and just give my whole life to you i admit that i am a sinner and i cannot save myself starting today i believe in all my heart that you are the only way the truth and the life and i can only go through this suffering if i accept you as my lord and savior from this day forward restore me restore me lord god be my lord and my savior in the name of jesus amen
