Christians who have a bad days who have
bad days that what it says a message for
Christians who have bad days not day but
bad days that’s what it says in my notes
Here Lord you’re going to talk to us
about growing up
tonight you’re going to talk to us about
some adult things as children and I pray
holy spirit that you have your
mind made known to
us Lord I don’t have anything of myself
to bring I bring just your mind I pray
Holy Spirit you touch me and anoint me
oh God prepare our ears to hear open our
eyes and give us Hearts to understand
because without the Holy Spirit we can’t
understand a word that I say and I can’t
understand a word I
preach only dependent upon you
absolutely wholly dependent on you so we
turn it all into your hand
Lord give me the strength give me your
anointing I pray in Jesus name
amen uh normal
Christianity is not a matter of clear
sailing have you heard that have you
learned that yet that no matter how holy
you may be no matter how many how
righteous you may be you’re going to
have some bad days in fact the holy your
you are sometimes the more excruciating
those days are very
painful I want you to know I don’t serve
a good time God that’s only with me when
things are going well and when I’m in a
bad situation he doesn’t sneak off and
say well when you work it out I’ll be
back he never leaves he never
forsakes Paul said we have this treasure
in Earth and
vessels that the Excellency of the power
may be of God and not of us now that
Greek word there for Earth and is frail
clay we have this treasure in frail clay
now frail clay fr the treasure here by
the way is the knowledge and the
presence of Jesus Christ we have this
great knowledge this great presence of
Jesus Christ in a frail vessel and that
means weak easily broken and easily
tempted easily Broken Vessels
now we all suffer what the Bible calls
infirmities in fact Paul mentioned
Timothy’s uh often infirmities Timothy
was often sick he physically sick and
there are many many Christians who whose
bad days have to do with their Frailty
they they have a very frail Constitution
they’re sick some of you listening to me
right now you wake up in the morning and
the pain is there some of you live with
pain some of you have have never known a
day for months maybe years without
pain and there are many many Christians
who who go through terrible days of
suffering it’s a time of
infirmity we’re not speaking about that
there there there are other infirmities
that are just as difficult more
difficult to handle and those are
infirmities of the mind I’m not talking
about mental uh illness I’m talking
about uh those things that grip our mind
you can go to bed at night feeling happy
you can go to bed all is well with you
and wake up in the morning and there’s a
cloud of the blahs hanging over you you
don’t know where they came from you
don’t know what it is but there’s just a
cloud of of Gloom hanging over you you
try to figure it out you don’t know what
it is others of you live with guilt you
can’t shake it it goes back somewhere I
don’t know how long uh it could be a
result of sin that’s still in your life
and if there’s sin God will let the
guilt hang in until you deal with it
through the power of the Holy Ghost it’s
a wonderful gift of God when there is
guilt because of sin some of you have
condemnation others have feelings of
rejection you’ve never been able to live
with you you get up someday and somebody
said something the day before you heard
something or you feel something and
we say we don’t live by feelings but we
live in feelings we have feelings and
they’re going to affect your outlook on
life it’s the way you
respond now I don’t know what you’re bad
I don’t know what causes your bad days
when you wake up and you just have a I’m
not talking about a bad hair
day you said you you you just have to at
the end I have had a bad day this this
has been awful day this has been
terrible some of you have to to to uh
stop maybe and think about you I hope
you’re have this Mother’s Day I hope
you’re having a good day for for many
this is a very difficult day Mother’s
Day is a hard day one of the hardest
days in the year because either your
mother is gone uh maybe she died uh not
being a Christian it could be so many
many things uh some of you that are on
drugs or coming out of drugs drug life
or alcoholism and you don’t remember a
good day with your parents at all or
your mother especially and it’s a hard
day for others it’s Christmas because
they have no family I don’t I Can’t
Describe what it is let me tell you what
a bad day is for me for example I don’t
I’ve often wondered if other ministers
especially have the kind of day that I
have my my bad days happen in my study
alone with my Bible with my God
those those sometimes are I have to tell
you are my most difficult times when I
open this book and I feel so ignorant I
feel so in a incapable of comprehending
and digging out the truth I read the
stories and the messages of men that
lived 300 years ago some of my favorite
authors are the Puritans and John Owens
and sibs and man and all these men and I
read these were men who were not
supposed to been in an enlightened age
and knowledge is supposed to be on the
increase and here I am in in my mid-60s
and and I’m reading men that were in
their 40s and they are speaking things
that I’ve never seen or
heard and my bad day is going into this
and spending three and four days just
reading and say Lord I don’t even
remember half this stuff you teach
me I can’t even remember I’ve got a Sie
for a mind I have to sit sometime and
plead with God and the Holy Ghost for
hours and hours to get a word to bring
to
you and and and I don’t know how many
others of you feel this way or have ever
gone through that it’s a very very
difficult thing to to to spend maybe
four or five hours in this book and I’m
saying Lord I’m not I’m not hearing it I
want to hear it and there’s a sense that
you’re you’re before this great
Reservoir and there’s so much out there
and you can’t reach
it you can’t comprehend it you you you
know that there’s such an ocean of truth
I I have stood uh I looked out my window
and I said Lord I don’t care what
anybody else has they could have they
can have every piece of furniture they
can have my car they can have everything
I possess if you just give me
truth just let me understand let me see
let me know you there’s something so far
out there and we have known and touched
so little of it and you can’t enjoy God
any further than your
faith and you say God I I thought I
believed I’ve tried and I love your word
I’m not living in sin but I’m so blind
I’m so ignorant you said well brother
whats can you stand here and preach
every
Sunday yes and I tell you I go to the
salt mine and I
dig I I I heard a preacher one day he
said he was talking to another preacher
said boy I got three servants today come
so
easy for me it just
flows oh
Lord course I heard him preach
and I wasn’t discourage Ed
anymore you see for me that that that’s
I have to say Lord first I pray Lord
Holy Ghost is there anything standing
between you and me I want it clear I
don’t want anything now I’ll Tell You
Folks that’s way you ought to pray if
there’s anything there take it to the
Holy Ghost and if there he’ll show you
if not just start praising the Lord
don’t try to invent something
but you see the only answer I get from
God is that this treasure is an Anar and
vessel and that the glory may be to God
and He Keeps Us humble this is one of
the ways this is probably my Thorn In
the Flesh one way to keep me
humble folks you may think that as a
pastor of this church that I stand here
and I I I know so much about God and
it’s so easy to stand and give you a
message
no I tell you honestly
I I have a hard time memorizing the
Minor Prophets and where they
are oh come on
now I where’s
haggi I am memorized memorized I can’t
memorize
verses I have a bad
memory and to me that’s a bad day that’s
a difficult difficult day for a young
man who called me last week he he he had
the worst day of his life God the young
man broken tearfully he said I don’t
know what to do a thought hit me today
and I I can’t shake it there’s no
God I don’t know where the thought came
from but I’m shocked and I’m hurt I
don’t want to believe like this I don’t
want to hurt like this I had this fight
this thing in my mind I thought I can’t
say it there’s no
God was
weeping he said where’d it come from I I
I assured him said son just just be
still don’t worry about this because
this is the this is this goes back to
the beginning of time it’s the devil’s
number one trick with young people
especially he’ll come to you my
19-year-old
son he was 18 time Gary came in years
ago when he was just a teenageer I’ll
never forget it i’ seen he was having a
rough time and i’ go into his room and
he’s crying and I said what is it and
he’s laying down he said I want to hurt
you Dad but I don’t believe there’s a
God now this boy was called to preach
and I and and and I tell it broke my
heart at that time I didn’t have the
spiritual uh Insight that I believe God
has given to me of course Gary wrote it
out because I said you’re going to stand
still Gary you’re not going to argue
with the devil you’re not going to try
to reason with them because you can’t
believe that there is a God through
human reasoning it’s a work of Faith
only you can’t reason God into existence
and you can’t persuade your mind that
there’s a God through reason you can’t
get somebody’s book about creation or
anything else that’s not going to
persuade you I said you’re going to ride
out the storm and just trust Jesus the
best you know how you’re going to ride
it out this is a trick this has been
instilled in your mind by the devil in s
don’t argue with the devil don’t try to
do anything but stand still until the
storm passes if you don’t move and you
just stand and say God I’m having a
problem trying to figure this out but
I’m asking you Holy Spirit to come and
hold me still I saw God hold my son
still of course he’s pastoring today on
fire for God and as I just told this
young man to stand still he said pastor
I’m going to do just that I’m going to
stand still I saw him this afternoon and
he’s on fire the the crisis has passed
his bad day is
gone folks these bad days often happen
because the devil implants thoughts in
our minds he he can come and plant a
thought uh uh in your mind that God is
Not faithful that God does not answer
your prayer and he can tell you how many
days and weeks and months and years you
prayed about something and seen nothing
happen
and he’ll come at you and bombard your
mind with lies about God about his
faithfulness about his ability or
willingness to answer
prayer you don’t fight that you don’t
Reason by it you stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord and get into this
book and get your faith out of this book
and look at God’s history of
faithfulness to the children of Israel
and to all of our fathers who gone by as
we heard so ay this morning Hallelujah
I I got a
letter this past week from an assembly
God pastor’s wife her husband died four
years ago she had I think four or five
children they’re all grown now married
well and she said brother Dave my
husband was a powerful
preacher he loved his family he was a he
he he he was is faithful to his
children and he had a heart for people
he had a
problem he said she said he had an
adulterous Spirit he was an
adulter said we had to he had to resign
four
churches one Affair after another with
women in the
churches and she said I can’t tell you
how many times I was advised to leave
him but she said Pastor Dave I have been
in the word and on my face for many many
years I have been a Seeker after God and
I know how God hates divorce and I I
just decided to hold on she said brother
WS I have had bad
years he said I can only remember a few
years in all those years he died at 62
so they were married probably some 40
years and and uh the children are grown
and she said I can’t tell you how many
times I wanted to quit I said there’s no
use to this this man gets up and
preaches like a house on fire this man
moves the hearts of people but he’s an
adulterer she said I hope he died in
Grace she didn’t even know whether the
man died
right but she said I’ve got to testify
brother day
she said all my children because I had a
promise the whole time every time I
thought I should give in every time
people would tell me that that I was
foolish to stay with this man and take
all of this hurt and all this abuse she
said God made me a promise that if I
would just hold on and seek his face he
would honor me in the
end he said she said brother I’ve got to
tell you God has honored me all four of
my children children are married to
Christians all have good jobs I’ve got
grandchildren who love me she said I am
honored and revered in my church I’m
called everywhere to speak to women’s
groups to young wives who are abandoning
their husbands at the slightest
provocation and she said God has honored
[Applause]
me wasn’t a bad day it was a bad life
but God she said I I wanted toward the
end of her fam she said I am so
blessed I’m so blessed I am so fulfilled
and she closes she said Christ is proven
all
sufficient for my
life the saintly Paul had bad
days days of testing and one of them
took place in Macedonia
he said in Macedonia our flesh had no
rest but we were troubled on every side
without were fightings and within were
fears it didn’t say fear fears Mark that
down inside of me Paul said now Paul was
not a
Superman Paul hurt you can’t tell me
this man didn’t hurt when churches he
founded wouldn’t even talk to him and
gossip about him and turned against him
and tell everyone in Asia he said was
against him these are all churches he
founded gave his life blood he said the
more I love the less I beloved this man
hurt this man had awful
days but he said I am filled with
Comfort I’m exceeding joyful in all my
tribulation because God comforteth those
that are cast
down what is God going to do to you when
you have these awful days where doubts
and fears you may even be saying things
that you never thought you could say in
your heart or think things about
God what does God your heavenly father
do does he spank you does he chasen you
does he judge you because you are having
these kind of Trials and you’re going
through these most difficult times Paul
the Apostle said he comforted he
comforteth those that are cast down
Hallelujah
are you sitting in this meeting tonight
really cast down you’re going through
something in your life you’re having a a
bad day or series of days just a bad
season in your life the scripture said
blessed be God even the father of our
Lord Jesus Christ the father of mercies
and the God of All Comfort who
comforteth all who uh Comfort Us in all
our
tribulations now I looked at the the the
Greek word there he Comforts all of his
children in their infirmities and in
their tribulation he Comforts he doesn’t
come to accuse he doesn’t come to whip
you he doesn’t come to abuse you he
comes to comfort you and the word
Comfort used there means to draw close
to call one
close it’s amazing thing about our
heavenly father when you’re going
through this and feeling very
unspiritual and very immature in
Christ thinking to yourself I should
have learned enough I have heard so many
messages I have been so many years
Walking with God I should have passed
this point but when you come to that
point of discouragement and and and
you’re saying to especially if you’ve
been a teacher or a preacher of the
gospel and these times come the Lord
says those are the times I call you
closer to
myself now let me tell you no honesty
I look back over my life and I tell you
from the depths of my heart the only
times I have grown in the Lord have been
in my difficult
times I don’t grow in
times not to my knowledge there’s the
natural growth of those have the
increase of the growth of the holy
spirit that is natural there’s always
that increase but is that which I’m
conscious of only comes when I’ve I’ve
been in some very difficult times and
I’ve had to be totally dependent on the
Lord and I know that there’s no way I
can do it myself I’ve had to learn to
trust him God will put us in situations
where there is nothing else to do but
trust or to throw it all overb overboard
and Harden your
heart glory to
Jesus so
although we have bad
days then they’re going to be inevitable
for especially those who are new in the
Lord listen to me please they should
become less and less frequent as the
knowledge of who you are in Christ
increases there should be fewer of these
days and they should be less intense and
there should come a time when when the
enemy comes in for an hour or two that
you have the resources to deal with it
now I told
you before that when when you’re going
through a hard time God comes in by his
Spirit immediately he rushes in to
comfort if you allow him he’s always
there to comfort you because you’re his
child and he cares about
you now
we you you you it may be because of
frail Health doubt fear despair
depression it keeps coming more
frequently and I’m telling you folks
listen listen closely if if these things
are happening to you more
frequently you’re having more and more
of these days that you can’t seem to
shake it off and the depression keeps
coming on and the guilt and the fear
hangs on you’re in need of some real
spiritual help because this if you allow
it to continue can turn to a Hardness of
Heart and I want to show you some of the
scripture that will help you tonight and
I hope it’ll bring victory To You Paul
makes it very clear that it’s possible
to come out of childish bondage now many
of these bad days that we get result of
our reaction to situations in our life
and reacting
childishly now a child
pouts a child has short interest
spans a child can be laughing one minute
and screaming the
next and this is what we often do when
we’re going through a trial we we are
very childish in our reaction and those
childish reactions result in depression
and guilt and fear and all these other
things in spite of our Tantrums I I’ve
had four children got 11 grandchildren
and I’ve seen enough Tantrums in my life
I’ve seen a lot of childish stuff but
never in any tantum never in any pouting
session no matter what my children went
through I never stopped loving them I
never wrote them off I never disowned
them and sometimes we go through
difficult times and we pout and we put
on a on a on a fleshly
tantrum God that’s where you want to act
why should I
pray I read this Bible and I go through
it and you know we we put on these
little petty Tantrums
God how how long how long do I have to
pray before you I don’t see a sign of
anything God you’re not doing anything
that was the tantum Moses put on I
haven’t seen you called me I haven’t
seen you do
anything God said wait till
tomorrow you’ll see what I’m going to
do now listen even though we know that
our heavenly father loves us through
every childish
response he has something better for
us he has absolutely something better
for us his great de desire for us is
that we lay hold of the knowledge of who
we are in Christ and what he has
provided for us some of you really have
not yet come
in to the place where you will lay hold
of your
inheritance I want you to go with me to
Galatians 4 and nail it down Galatians
the 4th
chapter I want to talk to you about how
to come out of these bad
days Galatians the 4th
chapter when everybody having a bad day
say
Amen oh my
goodness I don’t think you heard I I
think you said amen
automatically cuz you people say amen to
everything I could give my AIDS and
people say amen in this
church verse one Galatians 4th chapter
verse one now I say that the air as long
as he’s a child differs nothing from a
servant though he be Lord of all now
look at me please
under the Roman
tradition a child was placed in the
hands of a tutor up to the years of to
eight years of age the parents paid the
tutor and then from 8 to 25 they’re in
the hands of a governor took care espec
especially the wealthy Paul was talking
about an adopt a a father wealthy man
who’s adopted a child and he’s taken
this adopted child to school and placed
in school under two tutor the this tutor
has one student and he tutors until he’s
8 years of age at 8 years of age he
turns him over to a financial guardian
and that Guardian takes care of until
he’s 25 years of age and all this time
he’s an heir to a
fortune but the Bible said the heir as
long as he’s a child differ nothing from
a servant though he be Lord of
all now let’s talk about this child
becoming 25 years of age coming to
fullfilled age a full age the Apostle
Paul verse
6 let’s go down to verse two and three
but is under tutors and governors until
the time appointed of the father even so
we when we were children were in bondage
under the elements of the world now look
at me please Paul speaking first of all
about the ministry of the law he’s
saying under the Old Testament under the
law we were in school
the the the Believers there were in
school they were being taught but he
said there comes a time when the
schooling
ends and you move in then to taking
place as an air as a son you’re a
servant right now because you are in
school you’re a servant of the tutor
you’re a servant of the governor this
this boy until he’s 25 years old
couldn’t touch his inheritance he he had
no power to uh control his life he was
told when to go and when to come do this
do that he was under the law now that’s
what he’s talking about first but he’s
also talking about Believers today in
this generation
us he said when you’re a
child your childish in your thinking
when you a child and you have not laid
hold of your
inheritance he said you’re under bondage
you’re under bondage by legalism
laws that you establish for
yourself most of us as Christians
believe that if if we could just get the
victory over this one or two things most
of us think we’re about 98%
holy and we got this little 2% thing we
got to deal with and God if I just get
this 2% settled if I can just make you
enough promises or get my teeth F the
bullet if there’s something I can do and
get rid of this 2% I’ll be a saint
I will have made
it he said you’re still under bondage
you still don’t see that’s you’re not a
servant you’re not a slave anymore
you’re Lord of all things you own
everything your father owns your father
adopted you loved you and he put you to
school to prepare you for
something he said no no some people say
well our inheritance is eternal life for
folks goes beyond that God sent the Holy
Ghost to give us the earnest of it the
ability to tap into that
wealth now here on Earth now if you’re
going to tell me that this inheritance
is gold and silver and material
blessings that’s
blasphemy that’s
blasphemy because if God did that he’s
planning covetousness in our heart and
he’s leading us right to hell because
that’s what happened when he did it in
the Old Testament Jes and waxs fat and
forgot God that’s not what it oh God
takes care of his
children yes he
does he’s promised you’ll never have to
beg for
food he’s going to take care of all of
his children but he says if if you’re if
you’re going to stay in this
childishness can you imagine this this
son it’s time the fullness of time came
that’s when Jesus came and died on the
cross the fullness of time then
inheritance was made
known he got to notice his Governor his
tutor every said you’re an air now
please understand that you graduate now
you go now and you don’t need a governor
to tell you how to spend money you don’t
need your Governor to tell you when and
where to go no one else is taking care
of this you’re coming into maturity now
go and claim your inheritance and he
doesn’t believe it
now we’re talking about a God who comes
and Comforts us when we have difficult
times now what what good is it for this
father to go to this 25y old boy
now and say son everything’s going to be
all right and he Comforts him that’s not
what God is all about not just to
comfort
you when you’re still in bondage
the father’s going to say son when are
you going to take your place at my side
when you comeing into my house when are
you going to come and lay hold of the
resources folks 95% of God’s people live
far beneath their
privileges they’re living beneath their
privileges I live beneath mine you live
beneath your privileges I don’t think
any of us have ever really laid hold of
This Promise verse four but when the
fullness of the time was come God said
forth his son made of a woman made under
the law to redeem that which were under
the law that we might receive the
adoption of sons and because we are Sons
God has sent forth the spirit of his son
into your hearts crying Abba Father
verse seven
listen therefore Thou Art no more a
servant but a son and if a son then heir
of God through
Christ would you look at G look at the
Galatians third
chapter verse
26 for ye are all the children of God by
faith in Christ Jesus look at me
now have you had faith in Christ Jesus
come on raise your hand I have faith I
am a I am a child of God if you believe
that Jesus Christ is your lord and
savior let me read it again folks it’s
in your no I don’t have a special
addition verse
26 for ye are all the children of God by
faith in Jesus
Christ I go back down now to chapter
4 chapter verse 7 wherefore Thou Art no
more a servant but a son and if a son
then an heir of God through Christ
you’re his child you are no longer a
servant now you serve as a volunteer but
that is not your position now that may
be an occupation that you choose but you
are a son of the Living God and because
you’re a son you’re an heir of all that
God placed in Jesus Christ God gave all
of his glory all of his power all of his
resources and put them in Jesus Christ
for in him is the fullness of the
godhead
bodily and he he said now you’re an
heir to everything that is in Christ
Jesus it all is
yours folks I’m seeing something clear
and clear every
day that this world that you see around
us is not the real world this is an
apparition the real world is in the
spirit
folks Jesus doesn’t live on this Earth
he’s gone to the father he’s seated at
the right hand he’s a man in glory he’s
God but he’s also a man if he walked
into this building and walked on this
stage you could see him he would have a
face he would have ears and nose mouth
he would look just like
us he’s a man and he’s in glory at the
right hand of the
father and I want to tell you something
the real
inheritance the real don’t think that I
want more than anything else is to be
with him where he is he has seated Us in
Heavenly places in Christ Jesus and our
brother spoke it well this
afternoon about the stuff that that the
things that the only thing that most of
the bad days many of us have have to do
with our stuff we’re afraid of losing
stuff we buy a house so it has a garage
so we can store our stuff
you ever try to move stuff stuff stuff
everywhere is stuff and we’re afraid of
losing
stuff he said set your affection on
things above the Holy Ghost comes down
to draw us out of this world and bring
us into our position the spiritual
position that he’s put us with Christ in
a Heavenly place above the things of
this world folks when you begin to draw
closer to Jesus you’re getting further
and further away from the things of this
world you’re getting away there’s no
such thing in a man who had who is
spiritually minded who’s moving out of
this
world you know I I I hear I’ve heard
preachers use a cliche mockingly oh he’s
so Heavenly minded he’s no spiritual
good I mean he’s so spiritually minded
he’s no earthly good have you ever heard
that he’s so spiritually minded he’s no
earthly good what a foolish statement
what Absolut
foolishness the only way you’re ever
prepared to be living on this Earth
God’s way is to be spiritually minded
there’s no other way you can
survive with the days that are
coming I I was uh yesterday in
the one of the
newspapers it said uh Lifeboat practice
on Wall Street
they’re they’re practicing what they
call
Lifeboat uh training now how to bail out
in the ugly crisis that’s
coming the whole page it’s the most
incredible thing I’ve I’ve seen far
beyond anything I’ve been prophesying
and
preaching and I see all these things
coming but you know something the more
you obey what the Lord say
set your
affection on things above not on the
things of the world the less this news
means to you the less these reports mean
to you they have no meaning whatsoever
after a while they have no meaning folks
I was I was walking down a country road
this past week and just praying and and
uh that scripture came to me life is
just a vapor
just a
vapor and it’s
gone and we’re worrying about our bad
days what God wants you to do if you
have a bad day first of all you’re going
to be convinced that he’s a heavenly
father and you may St sit here today and
say brother I just can’t help it I I am
not spiritually mature enough to deal
with this but my bad day has to do with
the fact that I I I have a bad situation
in my job that causes stress and I get
sick yesterday’s newspaper said 41% of
all Americans now are sick daily because
of stress on their jobs almost 50% are
physically sick because of the stress on
their job I want you to know my God has
all the resources now these are
spiritual resources but he he they all
according to the riches of God in Christ
Jesus there’s the riches of his wisdom
we heard about there’s the rich the
wisdom of his knowledge the wisdom of
his grace and didn’t he say my God shall
supply all your
need according to the riches of God in
Christ
Jesus that tells me that a loving
heavenly father I believe that God works
with his children on the premise of
affection you cannot make it in these
last days unless you know you won’t make
it through your bad days unless you’re
absolutely convinced that he
affectionately loves you there’s an
affection in his heart we’ve been
hearing that all
day this keeps me more than anything
else I know beyond a shadow of a doubt
he loves me I am so convinced of that I
literally he when I’m in prayer and and
he said if you draw near to me I’ll draw
near to you I just keep drawing near in
worship and praise I’ve literally felt
his arms around
me you heard my son stand here he said
you may laugh but he said I had Jesus
kiss me on the
cheek my son just loved Jesus with all
his heart and he said I’ve just I was
loving on Jesus and he he said Jesus PL
kiss he said was a spiritual experience
that it was it was just like embracing
getting so close to his heart folks
that’s what it going to take in these
last days but first of all I’m telling
you be absolutely confident that he’s
affectionately
loving you he has a great affection in
his heart he’s not mad at
you that he is concerned about all of
these
things now in Greek the
word I I I want to show this to you my
God shall supply all your need this is
Philippians
4:19 all your need according to his
riches and Glory by Christ Jesus I’m
going to close in just a minute that
word there need means to have
all business all that is lacking all
that’s
necessary he didn’t promise you to
fulfill all your
dreams he didn’t promise to fulfill all
of your uh
wants you know I want this I want
that best thing God can do is knock all
that out of us and purify our
desires and he said I he didn’t even say
needs he said I’m going to supply all
your need
singular not plural I’m going to all
your need because it’s one it’s single
it’s
Christ it is
Jesus because he alone satisfies Bill
Gates is the richest man in the world so
many billions he can’t count them now
almost almost
literally but every
billionaire if you just hold on long
enough and listen they’ll talk to you
about nothing they have bringing them
any Joy or any satisfaction whatsoever
there’s no joy in it
whatsoever Howard Hughes one of the
billionair who died died with 8 in
fingernails died with not a friend or
eight people at his
funeral in his confession when he died
he said nothing I’ve own nothing I’ve
had nothing I possessed has ever given
me a moment of Joy but made me miserable
it died in misery died in
pain you said brother Wilson what’s that
have to do with me I I I’m stressed
out I have bills that I can’t
pay and I wake up in the morning looking
at the future and I have this Gloom
hanging over me I don’t know what I’m
going to do
others of you say I’m in a living
condition that’s hopeless and it it just
burdened me down I I’m living in a
marriage situation that’s
beyond hope let me read you a letter in
closing may help you this
woman said Pastor David in 1989 my
husband lost a good job that was so
important to him he worked for the the
US Army in Germany he was fired by a
commander who brought in his own people
it was a tragedy for my husband he lost
all selfesteem as well as his good
income he’s never recovered even though
he’s employed his salaries less than one
half of what he’s making now the
responsibility is falling on me to be
the primary bread winner a few weeks ago
I had a meeting one Friday night but I
had 45 minutes after work to lay down
and rest I was looking for something to
read and the Lord led me to a box of
papers that I had kept I pulled out one
of your old sermons a place called witz
end April 24th 1995 as I read it the
Holy Spirit ministered to me that that
is exactly where I am I’m at my Wit’s
End I’m going to be retiring from the
service myself the worries keep piling
on we’re drowning in financial
difficulties I can’t get my husband’s
attention
he’s like an ostrich that put his head
in the sand and you just hoped the
problems will go
away God showed me through your message
that I have turned in Anger against my
husband and I’ve been depending on him
I’ve been depending on the Flesh and I
need to turn to Jesus alone as my only
hope as the only one who can provide for
me and bring me out of these problems I
see now my husband can never bring me
out I read the message with assurance
that God was was with me at my wits end
later that evening I went to the meeting
and one of the speakers of the meeting
who’s a friend of mine shared with her
from her heart how God brought her out
of a financial difficulty that she and
her husband had gone through she’d been
obedient in sharing her embarrassing
experiences God meant it all for me and
afterwards I shared with her about
reading your message on W end not
knowing that she even knew of you and
how God used your message to talk and
minister to me the following week I
received a package from her inside was a
copy of your message right song wrong
side dated May 11
1990 how
awesome I called Karen she told me she
would send other
messages she said Pastor David I’m not
through my trial yet it’s very hard when
I look down the road I see potential
disaster being h in like the children of
Israel that God has shown me that I have
doubted his love for me I’ve doubted his
faithfulness to provide for me I’ve also
realized as you’ve taught that I’ve been
good at suppressing my fear and that
I’ve never dealt a death blow to my
doubts I’ve never dealt a death blow to
my doubts now I want to put an end to my
doubts I’m going to choose to praise God
for loving me for his Provisions though
I don’t see them yet please pray for me
my prayer is that Jesus the author and
perfector of my faith would heal my
doubt give me the gift of faith to trust
him completely I pray that it give me a
song to sing on this side of the victory
I want so to pass this test I want to
sing the right song on the right side a
testimony of God’s grace and to his
faithfulness now we’re getting so many
letters like this from around the
country from people whose faith is
growing they have seen God faithful and
they they believe like I do and many of
us that hard times are coming but the
Lord’s going to see us through and if
this is your if this is what you’re
going through you’re going to have to
come to a place where say Jesus I have
to cast all my care upon you now you
said that I’m an heir to the riches of
God in Christ Jesus and the riches of
God in Christ Jesus include all my
physical needs
I believe God for
that will you
stand
folks one last thing I want to say to
you I don’t know what you’re going
through but I do know what we’re all
going to go through
some very powerful testing
times little simple song we sing Turn
Your Eyes Upon Jesus look full in his
wonderful face and the things of the
world grow strangely dim in the light of
his glory and grace
Hallelujah are you
afraid there’s nothing to
fear nothing to
fear Hallelujah
now if you’re going to take your place
as an heir of
God whenever these things you wake up in
the morning these things come at you the
spirit tries to fall on you and just lay
inside and bring you down in your
emotions tell
yourself Christ my savior is my
inheritance in him is fullness of
joy peace wisdom and Grace and all that
I
need and you just start coing up to
Jesus and start looking to
him I find myself doing that every hour
of the day anymore all the waking
hours saying Lord I don’t want to be
attached to anything on this Earth now
nothing I don’t want anything to take my
attention away from
you folks you know that’s possible on
your job that’s possible on the way to
work on the way back it’s
possible turn off the
television turn everything
off get alone with
him start drawing closer and closer to
the Heart of Jesus and you’ll see the
changes then you’ll have your husband
your wife you’ll have others come up to
you and say what’s happened to
you you have
that look of
peace Brother Carter talked about how
God had brought him into that peace he
has brought me into that peace and God’s
no respect of persons he he wants you to
go through your day with peace no matter
what you’re going through and rest in
the Holy Ghost so that those bad M they
only moments and you’re dealing with
them by the power of the Holy Spirit
you’re dealing with them by saying I am
not a child under bondage anymore I may
not have the victory yet but I hate my
sin and God said the Holy Ghost In Me
will enable me and he’s going to bring
me through the Victory and I’m not going
to pout and put on a child’s tantrum and
I’m not going to accuse God of an UNF
faithfulness Lord Jesus I’m going to
trust you and the more you trust him
folks there’s only one way and it’s by
faith no other way you cannot you cannot
approach anything of God you cannot
receive anything you cannot reach any
point the maturity in him other than
Faith what else do you have to give him
the fruit of your lips and your faith
heavenly father I pray this evening that
you bring encouragement to our hearts
that we’ll not be afraid and that we
will be able we will have the tools
we’ll have the ability to deal with
these moments that come to us of
discouragement and being
downcast and as David we can say I en he
encouraged himself in the L help us Lord
every time we get up in the morning now
to encourage ourselves God you’re going
to see me through this day God you’re
going to see me through my financial
difficulty you’re going to see me
through this because you’re my father
and no loving father would ever let his
child down you will not let me down
because you love me glory be to God now
