0937 While in Quarantine - The Road to Recovery

ROAD TO RECOVERY

Facebook!!!! Recovering what’s been taken and recovering what’s been lost. One is look for the enemy, another is remember where you lost it.

1. RENEW YOUR STRENGTH SO THAT YOU RECOVER WHAT WAS STOLEN “But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God” 1 Samuel 30:6

Encourage yourself, not blame yourself, not pity yourself, accuse yourself, condemn yourself

If you don’t renew your strength, you will blame the struggle.

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. 1 Samuel 30:6

“If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10

If you don’t renew your strength, you will go as far as those around you go.

2. RECEIVE FROM THE LORD AFTER YOU RENEW YOUR STRENGTH

When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets. 1 Samuel 28:5-6,

Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night. 1 Samuel 28:20

Defeated soul can’t heed Spirits direction.

Discouraged soul can’t receive instruction. Elijah got food before an assignment. 3 John 1:2 prosper and be good health as your soul prospers. There can be no fruit from branch that’s down. Jesus was led but first he was filled.

GOD DOESN”T SPEAK UNTIL HE FIRST STRENGHTNS

(HOUSE SALE)

3. As you revival someone, God will bring you to own your restoration.

1 Samuel 30:11-12

David didn’t care for Egyptian because he had time, but because he had heart.

Healthy soul is not destroyed by problems, hears God and helps others.

(DOCTOR)

4. If God is your strength in the trial, he will be your source in the triumph.

In burdens it’s easier to lead on God, but in blessing its easier to leave God.

When you trust in God in your problem, he leads to breakthrough, but when you honor God in your breakthrough, he leads to blessing.

How to strengthen yourself in the Lord?

1. Make God the source of your strength. Others will discourage you, God must encourage you. “The Lord is my strength and my song” Exodus 15:2. God is even called “The Strength of Israel” 1 Samuel 15:29.

My grace is sufficient for you and my strength is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Phil.4:13 Let the weak say I am strong.

2. Wait on the Lord (Isaiah 40:31)

3. Pray in the Holy Spirit (Jude 1:20; 1 Corinthians 14:4)

4. Speak to your soul

Bless the Lord oh my soul (Psalm 103)

“Why are you cast down, O my soul? (Psalm 42-43)

Story:

Chris Trokey was born prematurely and had an extended stay in the hospital. His physician, Dr. Shannon, worked around the clock to make sure Chris survived and had the best start to his life as possible.

35 years later. Chris, who is now a paramedic, was called to a car accident where a man was pinned inside of an SUV that was starting to catch fire.

When Chris and other paramedics arrived, they were able to free the man who was pinned under the truck, but he was sent to the hospital and that was that.

Chris decided to go back to the hospital to see how the man was, knowing that he was badly injured when they arrived at the hospital. After finding out who the victim was, both Chris and Dr. Shannon realized that they had met before, only 30 years previously. Dr. Shannon would end up recovering,

Cody’s Story:

I started this custody battle for my 2 girls 5 years ago. In 2015 we separated and the judge granted her to move to Alaska with the kids giving me very minimal time.

I did get to see them for summers and major holidays but it was a very tough time for me.

In 2018 she had moved back so we could work on our family. This is when I realized she had picked up a drug pro me while in Alaska.

After going through court the second time to modify our parenting plan is when I was able to get custody.

I’ve worked on myself for 5 years after getting a 2nd dui in 2015 and losing my girls. This includes completing a 2 year treatment plan and most importantly rebuilding a relationship with Christ Jesus.
