A Fresh Start with Him (A Fresh Start)

But he's come for pie. Thank you that he's downloaded from having other. I pray you to bless. His family is blessed oil that he doesn't mind. Thank you that he's going to give us time to be with us this morning. Feed us and feed him as weak as we gather around your word today in Jesus name. Amen.

Good morning once again, thank you Pastor Dave for having me here today. I mean that I think the last time I was here must be Go back twenty years or something? Yeah. WowWee. We had an amazing time over. Worship today, go to sleeping for people who would worship Him in spirit and in truth saying hello to everybody at home.

Praise God. Alright, so Today was the title of my messages afresh. I understand that's the thing, right? And I'm just going to

I'm so depressed that it a timeline and, and we're going to be looking at the story of Peter, we will know the story very well happen. To have fished all night. I didn't touch anything until when Jesus showed up on the seat. So I'm going to read Luke chapter 5 verse 12, 11, fairly lengthy. But for context is important that we understand and appreciate well what I'm going to be talking about today so I set out so it was as the multitude pressed about him to hear the word of God that he stood by the lake of janissaries. And saw two both standing by the lake but had gone from them and the washing their Nets bus, 31 of the boots, which was Simon's. And a thing to put out a little from the land. I need sat down and thought the most juice from the boat when he has stopped speaking. He said to Simon launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. But someone answered and said to him Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing. Never less at the word. I will let down the Nets. Wendy had done this, the courts, a great number of fish and their Nets was breaking their Partners in the other boots to come and help them. And they came and food both the boots so that it began to sing

okay, then All right, so when someone pizza so it was nice seeing depart from me. I am a sinful man. Oh Lord, for he and all who are with him, where is tarnished at the catch of fish, which they have taken. And so also with James and John, the sons of Zebedee who were partners with Simon and Judas at the same on, do not be afraid from now on. You will catch men. So when they had, So when they have brought their boats to land before so call and follow Jean, how many of us will agree with the fact that pizza James stats for all of them and mmm. I realize it is life, is, you know, you could have been a Christian for upwards of 35 years originally from Nigeria. But I was born here about 57 years ago. One wife, And in New York it's possible to say I want to have a fresh start, right? I mean and I'm still at the beginning of the yellow baby on the 31st we all said oh I'm going to stop doing this. I'm going to go to ask, what are you up to doing the things you said? They're going to start doing its today, is what? 19th of January some questions, right. God to orchestrate, a fresh start in allies. and I wanted things that we see happen here in Peter's life now, This is one day in the life of pizza. He wasn't his not a rookie fisherman, right? This is not the first day that is coming through the sea to fish. Clearly, he had been fishing for very long time. But these day Didn't understand, I didn't catch anything. I think about it. I think God was one who orchestrated it, that it didn't catch anything that nice.

No, imagine the frustration. At Pizza Hut to fish all night and not catch anything. So he and his Friend we're washing their Nets. You know to call it today go home and then come back maybe at night and see if you could be lucky to catch some fishes. you know, all of the sudden days this person I'm not sure whether that was the first time He came across Jesus what Jesus was speaking and people with Garden around him and then I would say he has Jesus had the phone tree. Juicy. J. 2 Pizza. Could you produce your butt a little bit? Father into the sea. So I could sit there and speak to these people. No, I don't know about you. But if I was pizza,

I'm going to be like, what did you say? Listen, I've walked all night. This is the last thing I want to hear, I don't want anybody. I've had enough stress. I don't want anyone to stress me any further. Okay. What do some reason he does that and Jesus gets into his boat and speaks and we know that I can eat pizza instead of going home. He actually state Because you could have done hope. I mean honestly I would have just said to my colleagues that's what is when he finishes are you? Send me back the boots. I'm going home. What he stated. You stayed. Know, what do we?

See, what will happen. Two words. Jesus know, once Jesus finished preaching, he knows says to him. Cast your nets. Into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. Best prices for Simon answered and said to. He Master we have sold or nice. Let me say something to us. It's okay to express your frustrations to God. It's okay. God can handle it. Yeah, I mean maybe my wife can handle it. Something to my daughter can handle. It is not man. There's a song that was sing worship song that talks about. The God is altogether, lovely, right? And God is all together with it. Do you know that I cannot see that about my wife and say about me? I'm certainly not altogether with it. I'm suddenly not altogether. Lovely cuz sometimes

Jesus is Lord and Master. We have toiled all night and this is what he said, you didn't say gentleman. He said master I believe that you called him Master, because he hung around to hear everything that you just have to say. I came to conclusion, that is something different about this one. Domenico's in master. I need to do, he expressed his frustration and said missing we have toiled all night. he said, nevertheless your word I would lay down the Nets. So you talkin to express your frustrations, it's okay to complain if I read a couple of songs, you see that starts with complaints but it always ends with rays of the sun is why have you forsaken us? O God and I'm like, how can you be so rude? Are you doing? Stop by say, no, but I praise you first line. Why have you forsaken us? Oh, God. Would you read it? It ended with brace. Toy talking to come with your frustrations, as you knew in prayer. What am I supposed to pray that you are. Super God and tell him, I'll hit you up. Maybe a friend hurt you or your boss hurt. You at work.

The child is, we will do something about it. And if you talk to God about it, listen for what God has to say. Genocide because I'm sure you know, that prayer is not just about talking to God, right? I don't know how many of us have had this same and I think it applies to prep. It says, the reason why God gave us two ears and one mouth is sore. That way, it will work twice as much as a mouse. So speak less. Listen more, because God Wants to speak to us. And we must learn to hear God's voice. I think that's one of the greatest game-changers that we have as Christians that God speaks to us. God, yeah, it's good to have a pastor is good to have either one of those people in the offices, in the body of Christ. But God has taken everything that stands in the way and he wants to have a relationship with you. And I directly I has what a simple and profound way to learn to hear God's voice is to read the word of God. Ruben expectation that go to speak to you and which you expect that God is good to you. If you have a pen and paper close by or write down anything and everything that God says, I want go speak to you, you would bring his water pass.

so, Simon Says Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing, but nevertheless at your word, I will let down the Nets. Nevertheless at the word, I will let down the Nets. Majestics is and Wendy had done this. They caught a great number of fish.

Clearly, this is the first time they had a net breaking clutch. I've never seen this kind of thing before.

And what happened? He have to signal to his other partners. Thank God, his Partners in go home. signal to the partners indelible to come and help them and when they came and filled but the boots The boots began to sink. Know what are the most profound things that I see this future is what we find inverse matrices. And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus's knees. Seen depart from me for I Am A Simple Man.

How many times? Will pray. God will give me this. Trusting God for better finances with trusting, God, in Divine health for proficient. I don't know. But, you know, sometimes you can pray for those things and God may be good actually, as those things and if we are not careful woman. Actually thing that is those things came about due to the strength of our arms, in the strength of our hands and refused to bring and give glory to God. But what but did hear what? Jesus Christ eat here.

Imagination. He saw himself as unworthy and seen that is exactly what was she was about. What she is about responding to the voice of God.

Justin, let me use as an example to go suspended. So imagine if I walked into a bank. It's just busy old. I mean, I just walked in like I look like an ordinary person and So what don't you tell her I said hey you know what, I would probably eat with my inside banking up but I just wanted to check what my balance is.

Know the truth. He's as a human being that's how I was going to size me size me up and he's mine is probably going to think how much could you possibly have the right music.

So, and we can check the account. Macy's. My balance is 1000500.

1267 pounds. Do you know that I was going to look at me differently? Yeah, he's going to look at me different. He's going to be like I mean she's going to try as much as possible to contain. He's a surprise.

That is the first time. Going to see Santa now. Do you know something has changed?

She just encountered she just so how much it was worth. That's exactly what we're seeing here. What she is about responding to the voice of God. And that's exactly what Peter so here.

AmazingPhil. He saw his worthiness and he saw his own unworthiness exactly. Residential, what we saw happen in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah had prophesied. Four five chapters from chapter 1 through 5 chapter. He saw the Lord high and lifted up and he said I am a man of unclean. Praise the name of the Lord.

What we see here, when Pizza Hut is in cancer. And I pray that everyone of us, honestly, I pray that everyone of us at one point in our lives, will have an encounter with God. It's important. That God will grant you an encounter with himself? I don't forget it will encounter. Is he having such an encounter? Would make it. Did everything possible but almost impossible for you to ever backslide. Yeah. I remember one day when I was in school and I'm bringing my listen to my message so close. When I was in the University, I mean we shall occur when the same class we study together cuz I went to this for the sheep and I just give him my life to Christ. Friendship ended and there's this lady who just walked up. Walked towards me. She introduced herself. I didn't say my name is Wally the Holy Ghost.

I'm scared of that neighborhood Eagles. This is something I could play with you right now and you get filled with the Holy Ghost.

so, We hold hands.

and all of a sudden, It was like my entire body was on fire from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. I can never forget that. I can never.

I left Fellowship. Nights, my house was like 25 minutes away and I walked home, screaming on the road, just praying in the spirit. I pray that God would Grant you an encounter with himself into difficulties? The Wold. No matter what you say or pray, the ones going to get darker? But it doesn't mean that you like you don't shine. City of the sun. It doesn't mean that kind of thing. So that happened in this world over the last one year. And wigs. Fires Wars. Psalms.

And it's like, all the things are happening, happening with increased gravity this year alone. and today's just, The 19th of January.

We have to ask God to help us to show us a message to lead us in the way that we should go. I want to say to us today. Pizza Hut. Do fresh. Go do castrated. Jesus. Orchestrated a fresh.

Sometimes it maybe if you noticed Pizza, experience. Italy. You realize that he expressed Italy and he was that delay. That he experienced that introduced him into that Forest. I'm not saying that's expensive lie but sometimes we need to just viewed and one of the things that we need to say to God is good.

Have your way in my life, not my will. What do you always be doing? Because this Jesus his holy spirit, he knows more than I know we live in a world where science reads what is so much knowledge and it brings out the most beautiful letter. Right. We all use Google Map. Where? Where? Where? Where? Where was chubby? Let me tell you something about Google. The holy. Spirit's from Google. Yeah, I'll show you. How do you want to leave from here to someone somewhere you do traveling and you say, OK Google. How long is going to take me to Z shoes? And the Holy Spirit, may be telling you. Why don't you take this route to take that route because Google doesn't know that's going to be an accident on the road. And because of that accident, that going to be delays. The Holy Spirit knows what's is about to come. He knows all things. That's why I let us to depend on you to the voice of God. Praise the name of the Lord. So I want to say to you today. The Lord has gone ahead. Has gone ahead of you. Do not be afraid. Maybe you just really think that it is part of town, but you just country, maybe your back getting married.

It's better to just get it done with the little people who are inferences and maybe their marriage isn't working as well.

Even or maybe it's a new job. And you're worried and concerned has is going to turn out or maybe that's in life after the loss of a loved one.

The rest assured. The Lord has gone before you. Do not fear and when God and is the last thing I want to say there are many of us here who God has spoken to to do something. Maybe some Ministry, maybe it's about Listen, I pray that God will grant you the boldness to do the things that you have to do to do. Did you hear what I said? I pray that God will grant you the bonus because the way this thing was is that give me show you the end but most easily show you the steps. So you take one step. Is when you take one step. More lights, be made available to you. Right.

So, take that step. That's what faith is Faith. Doesn't do. We didn't own faith deals video noon. Yeah. So don't be scared because you have the whole of the godhead.

Let us pray.
