Summary

PSALM 34:1-7

1 I will always bless the Lord: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Good Morning, good morning, good morning!

I am tired, and I was just about to call it to quit. Yup, I was going to give it all up. Preaching, Studying, Praying, Churching, Pastoring. I am exhausted. It seems like nothing is clicking. Just tired.

Yesterday I was in the yard cleaning some fallen leaves and listing to some music and this scripture was being sung: This poor man cried to the Lord and the Lord heard him and saved him from all his trouble!

That was all it took for me to renege on my quit!

Standing in the yard with that blower going and music in my ear I heard Holy Spirit say, “You have not talked to me about any of this. Sean, the problem is that you are trying to handle all of this on your own. You are not consulting with me about any of the stuff you are dealing with.” I said to Holy Spirit, I am just frustrated, I am just tired. He told me, “The only way that you will find rest is to come to me. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST (renewal, blessed quiet) FOR YOUR SOULS.”

As you go throughout your day today remember these things. Number one, Holy Spirit is here for you. He is here to help you out of all your troubles. Number two, your salvation, your freedom, your deliverance is just one scream away!

Father God, creator of all, and most importantly creator of us we ask that you will show us how to take our burdens, our cares, and our concerns to you and really leave them with you. Thank you in advance for what you are doing in our lives. Thank you for hearing our individual screams! And, Abba, thank you for saving us from ourselves!

1 Peter 5:6-8

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, 7 casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. 8 Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], and be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/support

Summary

One of the misconceptions about Christianity is that you must change who you are to become part of the family of God; after all that is what being a Christian is, being part of God’s family.  More than you changing, God is looking for your belief in him and what he says.  Abram (The Father is Exalted) was a man God called to go. “Go Where,” you ask? Just go.  So what did he do, he went, at 75 years old he went in his old age when we would call our life almost over he listened and believed God, and his belief was counted unto him as righteousness.  God accepted Abram just the way he was.  It was after his encounter with the almighty God that Abram’s name was changed to Abraham (The Father of many nations).  When you have an encounter with God he will step in and change your life.  He will give you purpose, promise, and a plan.  But you must BELIEVE in order to be counted righteous.  No matter how shattered you think your life may be, God loves you and he wants you to be part of his family, just the way you are.  Do not try and change, but allow Holy Spirit to take residence in your life and give you the strength to make the changes he wants to make in you.  You have a purpose brother, and God has a plan for you.  Live your life the full today and believe in God!

Summary

I am a massive fan of Game of Thrones an HBO series about power struggles between kingdoms in a mythical time and realm. In one episode a woman who was evil at her core and would stop at nothing to be the leader of the kingdom was led down a street naked and shamed for her crimes and misdeeds according to the religious sect within the kingdom. As she walked the crowd threw rotten food and cried “SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!” Needless to say, it was a powerful message of how religion can derail from its core values of love, patience, hope, and peace. This was all done to create a feeling of humiliation for this woman, it was to create a loss of respect for someone who at one time was held in high esteem. It was used to reprove her of her behavior.

In the scripture today Paul, an Apostle of the early Church, makes this statement; “I am no longer asked of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it the good news, the Grace of God is the power of salvation to everyone who believes. For me, this indicates that Paul felt shame about preaching the message at one time. Remember, Paul was a convert. He initially preached against the gospel message and persecuted the men and women who believed. It was not until he had an experience with Jesus that he realized that he was on a losing side. The scriptures give us no indication of how long it took for Paul to be able to preach the gospel without being ashamed, however, it happened.

Here is the promise: this Grace that we preach, this Gospel that we teach and live and share is the power of salvation. This salvation is not just for ourselves, it is for the entire world! Forever many, humans will believe.

It is not our promise, nor our POWER to divide God’s salvation to whom we want to. It is HIS to give freely to all who believe. I am reminded of the scripture that says while we were all in our sin God showed us (humans) great mercy and send his Son, Christ to die for us in our place. (Romans 5:8)

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 4:25

He was derived over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.

Romans 8:32

He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will he not also, along with Him, freely give us all things? — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/support

Summary

IT’S IN THE PROMISE

God is Faithful

DEUTERONOMY 7:7-11

“The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but because the Lord loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the Lord brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments; but repays those who hate Him to their faces, to destroy them; He will not delay with him who hates Him, He will repay him to his face. Therefore, you shall keep the commandment and the statutes and judgments I am commanding you today to do them.

You are chosen! In a world of people, in a universe of species God, the everlasting maker of the heavens and the earth chooses you. We often overlook the fact that with the millions of humans on the earth God looked into t sea of us and choose us for his handiwork. The bible says “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them”. You have been chosen and you are special to God!

You are redeemed! Redemption is the process of being vindicated, atoned for, retrieved exchanged. God wants you to know that he is The Faithful God who has redeemed you. The Apostle Paul’s letter to the Roman church reminds us, “God showed his love to us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us” Our God is faithful! He pulled us up out of the quicksand of existence and placed our feed on a solid foundation and gave us power and purpose. The prophet Isaiah reminds us, “God you are my God, I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.”

Ephesians 2:10

Romans 5:8

Isaiah 25:1

Summary

2 Chronicles 7:12-15

12 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, 14 and My people [d]who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the [e]prayer offered in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

It is inevitable that we are going to have issues, concerns, problems, and even confusion on our journey through the earth realm. Let’s keep it 100, the Bible says “Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. He springs up like a flower and withers away; like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.” So you and I dealing with some life issues that we do not care to deal with is par for the course.

Here is where the power and promise of God show up in our trouble. In today’s scripture passage, it says if I shut up the heavens if I command locust If I send pestilence, plagues or pandemics and our response are right. There will be a change. It is the response of the head and heart that God is looking for in this life that we live. He has promised to keep you and sustain you. “Cast your burden to the Lord and he will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken”

God requires Humility, Honest Conversation, and Heartfelt Repentance.

2 Chronicles 7:12-15; Job 14:1-2; Psalms 55:22

Summary

Jeremiah 31:1-3 (NASB)

“At that time,” declares the Lord, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.” Thus says the Lord, “The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness— Israel when it went to find its rest.”The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.

Have you ever been in a place in between? Between here and there, between yea and nay, between the proverbial rock and a hard place? I think we have all found ourselves here at one time or another. Today I want to encourage you that even in this place in the wilderness, God will show up with a word that will restore, rebuild and resurrect life.

On the journey, it is easy to feel like you have been betrayed and belittled by people, and circumstances but you have a refuge and a hope in our God! Brother, you are a champion! You have made it through so much more than you give yourself credit for. You have been lied on, scandalized, forgotten, and looked over to name a few. Today God instructed me to remind you that you SURVIVED the sword. You not only won the battle, but you also won the war. The war over self-doubt, destructive thinking, pornography, poor money management, anger, bitterness, and even unbelief. You have won the war. You say to yourself “No I did not!” The fact that you are standing is enough to know that you have what it takes to win, what it takes to declare victory over your life and the life of everyone in your sphere of influence. Remember the word of God, “No weapon formed against you will prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their right standing is of me, say the Lord. Isaiah 54:17

Brother, because you won the war you have found GRACE to keep you! In the darkest place of your existence, GRACE shows up to inform you that you are a champion and will be restored, rebuilt, and resurrected.

No matter what goes on in your life remember that God has drawn you to him, you have the purpose and power to accomplish everything that God has for you to complete.

Nehemiah saw the broken down walls of Jerusalem and knew within his heart that something had to be done about it. He did not have the authority or the resources to pull off such a big project. Nehemiah prayed and went to the King of the land to ask for what he needed to complete the job. Because of who Nehemiah was and because of his unwavering faith God put the thought into the King’s heart to give him whatever he needed to complete the work. God has given you everything you need to complete the work.

Don’t give up! You survived the wilderness, you found GRACE and you are being rebuilt!

Scriptures:

Jeremiah 31:1-4; Isaiah 54:16-17; Nehemiah 1-2
