Walking Alongside (Love Egham)

Although I thank you for this woman of God. Father, I thank you that she's a blessing to Oslo God and Father, I thank you that she's labored in your wood in Readiness, but did I father, I pray that you didn't either. She speaks. As you anointed having a preparation is we Opening Our Hearts ready to hear something. Life-changing from you in Jesus name,

Good morning. Stay safe. Y'all seen this month is love. I kept and the title that the lord gave me is walking alongside I can't start with a quote from a lovely book that many of you will know the boy the mole, The Fox and the horse by Charlie mackesy. What's the bravest thing you've ever said of the boy? Help set the horse. Asking for help isn't giving up, set the holes, it's refusing to give up. Boston practicing today and I was reaching out to others. I told the Lord wanted me to start with this as a reminder that we will need help at different times. We need all those to walk alongside us as much as we need to be available to walk alongside of us. Empathy can be a connection Point sealed by faith. As the Lord guides us to do is he wants us to walk alongside someone I know is accounts that I'm part of her email address while they're perfectly includes that time will come alongside its not significant aspects of laughing at us. And it's the one that I believe the Lord wants us to focus on today. Jesus, not surprisingly. It's the ultimate example of what it means to walk along side of us because of how he eternally, God. Play the side, his Divine. Privileges to come to us as a baby and live as a man, Jesus, humbled himself. So he could walk in all shades. Hebrews 4:15 specifically says, we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but in all points was tempted or tested as we are yet without sin, Let's stop by the can't Luke 24:13 227. And I'm reading from the NIV that's Luke 24 verses 13 to 27. West, Jesus literally walks alongside the disciples on the road to Emmaus. It was a sad day since Jesus has been crucified and some of the female disciples follow as if Jesus had been to the tune that morning and discovered that Jesus Will. Cenex 24th St. 13. Now that same day, two of them. We're going to finish cool. That mess about 7 miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that's happened. I say talk and discuss these things with each other. Jesus himself, came up and walked along with them, but they were kept from recognizing him. He awesome. What are you discussing together as you walk alone? They Stood Still That faces found cost. One of them names. Clearpass Austin, are you the only one visiting Jerusalem? He does not know the things that just happened that in these days. What things cost? About Jesus of Nazareth by replied. He was a prophet powerful in what? Indeed before. Go to know the people, the chief priests and all the time. Did he move it to be sent? Sentenced to death? And they crucified him? But we had hoped that he was the one who's going to redeem Israel. I mostly small it Saturday since all this took place. in addition, some of our women amazed us, they went to the two early this morning, but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the team and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus. He said to them how foolish you are and how slow to believe over the prophets have spoken, did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then untie his glory. I'm beginning with my sis, I know the profits, he explain to them. What was said, in all the scriptures concerning himself,

So came back to Luke 24 verse 14. They were talking with each other about everything that's happened. It's good that the disciples had each other to Toketee to help them process. What had happened? They weren't going through it alone. But it was a very different conversation when Jesus was invited into it. It will always be a different conversation when Jesus is invited when we invite Jesus into it. The Lord has the opportunity to inject his wisdom and insight through the Holy Spirit living in us, that we wouldn't have not today. Just explaining how you Spirit lives inside of believers who have surrendered their lives to him. That Jesus is the son of God and paid the price for a sin by dying on the cross and then rose again. Jesus is not in heaven at the right hand of the Father Almighty God, and the Holy Spirit came to live inside or believe it's on us and help us to live this life God's way, which is the best way. The role of the Holy Spirit includes to counsel and help and guide us. Salute, 24, verse 15, things with each other. Jesus himself. Came up and walked along with them, but they were kept from recognizing him. Why? Was it to see how they would answer. God knows all things that he knew how they were don't say but still gave them the opportunity to give that perspective on recent traumatic events that address that perspective with Biblical Trace. Could never tell sister shame anyone. But to bring us into a place of Greater Revelation and understanding It seems strange that the disciples were prevented from recognizing Jesus. If you consider us as such as Jeremiah 29:13, What God Says seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all your heart. But God always has a purpose for everything that she does. Tia, in my opinion, it was said that the disciples could make explicit where they were and their understanding of the events. What they was saying about Jesus, who they thought she was in order for Jesus to take them on a journey of Revelation and inherent. In that was an invitation to deepen the relationship. He revealed more about himself to them.

the Lord brought his disciples on a journey of Revelation and understanding rather than an abrupt

There's something about going on a journey going through a process that changes us in a different way to the magic Wonder page. If you'll excuse then. Most of us love the emergence and the dramatic, but a process can bring it down some more profound and long-lasting change. 24 / 17. Jesus wants them together and she woke up alone. He allowed them to talk. Chase's office in. You what they were going to say? He's God, but he still allowed them to talk sometimes. People need that, that space to talk, to knows I've been heard. It's a behavior that expresses. You must have even when we may be able to anticipate, what someone's going to say. I had a friend. Do you have the guy who did interrupt me? If he thought he knew what I was going to say and speak in response to watch, anticipated me saying very often. He was right, occasionally, he wasn't, but I didn't feel good. So, at some point I told him I was told to not just to exchange information, but because I wanted to share, he was a decent guy, a Christian and he took them both what I said and adjusted his behavior accordingly. I mention it because it's something for us to bear in mind the ticket if we think it's obvious, what someone's going to say? I realize that people have different conversational Styles as well and some people are happy to be interrupted but others would find itself. Pushing. I mention it is something that we need to gauge and by remind, so when we walk alongside people know how you spread my prompt has primarily to listen, sometimes people need to be hard to offload. I'm ready to listen to possible solutions, to whatever that face thing. There is a caveat. I remember sitting with someone once. He was very needy and talks without taking breaths a minute. I have something like an hour and a half. I was absolutely drained at the end. At some point in the middle. I said, I needed to lose just to get a break, even though I didn't, but when I went back, she just turned it on when she left off. And that was the second time. I said, happened to me the first time was with someone else. I was so drained, I could barely speak afterwards. It's important that we understand how. And when to set boundaries and the nature of it means there are no fakes rules and as much as we're all different and we have to adjust a food But walking in love mookie alongside someone doesn't mean allowing us to drain, allowing them to drain. Is my back. If you can feel that's happening during just like it's run. Its course like I did because I didn't know what else to do. You can even say something like I need to stop you that. I appreciate your trust but I don't think it's right to continue right now, you can pray silently and then just break and then wait for pools.

the point is when we walk alongside people yes, it's important to allow people to talk, but depending on the situation, we may need to set boundaries I'm going to jump to Luke 24 verses 25 to 27. That's Luke 24. 25 to 27. Jesus said to them how foolish you are and how slow to believe. All the prophets have spoken, did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory, I'm beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explain to them. What was citing, all the scriptures concerning himself? If only. You've been recorded when you just love to have her. That her daddy said, how foolish you are. This is a time to come from people to challenge when you're working alongside them. be wise but say what needs to be said, depending on the situation, you may need to bring someone with you as a witness to, what was being said, particular in a setting such as one of the leaders I remember that happening here a while ago, another church leader asked me to come with them. Whilst I said something that needed to be sad. That person was clear, but not unkind. And changes were made for the better as a result because what was said was taken on board. Galatians 6 1-3, takes it further Reading from the cat and Ivy it says, brothers and sisters. If someone is cool Tennyson you who live by the spirit should restore that person gently but watch yourselves, or you will say, may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens. And in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something, when they are not they deceive themselves, none of us are above. Temptation, is how I read that. Joyce Meyer, the American Christian Author and speaker says this in her notes in the Amplified, Bible about this. Reading. This passage reminds me that while misconduct should be confronted in a loving way. I will also have times and needing to Simply back and enjoy the Troublesome.

Humility allows us to be patient with other people's mistakes as we will can laugh and pray for people, God will intervene and deal with a false, we reap. What we say. If we so messy we will reap messy when we need it. Back to Route, 24 West 28th. Isaiah Purge. The Village to which they were going. Jesus continues on as if he were going father but they asked him strongly stay with us for the evening. The day is almost over. So he went in to stay with them. When Jesus break bread with them. My eyes were open to who he was. They recognized him, then he disappeared. But I saw him again at other times. The point is Jesus only walked alongside the disciples to Emmaus. The time he was with them with significant, I'm brought about real change but it wasn't his role to walk alongside them humanly speaking for weeks or months or years to come. It's really important that we understand from the Lord was her role is when will care long side people, whether it's short or long time The significance of our role is not based on how long we will can I alongside someone? But are we doing or have we done? What the Lord is Austin's today? That's not be able to come. There Nation associated with my question but it's a question that we need to ask because the Lord will anoint has by the Holy Spirit. He will enable us to do today and not Mall. Leaving on to my next Point walking alongside people when you're both going through it. What makes a sour face is in Acts 16 with a proposal Pokemons and evil spirit out of a slave girl with the spirit of divination that broke great profits. I'm also Best Buy fortune telling When the girls are Enos say that that source of income has been removed, they use religious prejudice against the Jews to bring accusations against Paul and Silas in retaliation for the financial loss. Paul and Silas a stripped beaten with rods. Then throwing in stay in a prison. The most poorly ventilated for an S8 put install Acts 16:25. About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them. That's two, such an awesome bus Paul and Silas Weir know down in extreme pain. Due to an unfair situation and they were alongside up another website. What other prison is in the will that we don't know that that comes don't says, Paul and Silas demonstrated a different way of dealing with the situation to the other prisoners in praying and singing at midnight. Learning to sing at midnight to worship God in your darkest hour in pain. It's a sacrifice that will only be able to give God this side of Heaven. It's a choice. It's not dependent upon circumstances but its decision to keep her eyes fixed on the one. True. God, who is Almighty, who is the Creator? God, who is Holi? Who is love? Who is patient, who is kind, who is worthy of worship and praise regardless of all circumstances? and regardless of whether we feel like it or feel his presence, you may not feel like your particular you bringing go tonight since the situation. But God living in you that changes things. It's so important to remember that we're never alone. John 15:4 says live in me and I will live in you. the word translated live is Mercy, translated remain or continue, but in an older, a knife and then the names of God's Bible is translated live in me, and I will live and you In the message. It reads living me. Make your home in me just as I do and you in the same way that a bronze combat grapes by itself. But I need my being joined to the fine. You come past fruit, unless you are joined with me. God never asks us to do anything on our own. I really believe the someone listening online right now and there will be someone listening to the podcast later who's going through a really difficult situation and doesn't believe that you're making a difference. Despite God living in you because of how your situation is affecting you. I believe that the Lord is saying grace to you and peace from God, our Father and our Lord. Jesus Christ. That's 2. Corinthians 1, verse 2, grace to you and peace from God. Our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Or a success in the passion, translation, undeserved favor and endless. Peace be yours continually from our Father, God and Jesus. The anointed one. I believe the Lord is saying rest in the knowledge that my grace is sufficient fear, because my strength is made perfect. In weakness as it says, in 2 Corinthians, 9:12. Reset, in the knowledge that my grace is sufficient for you. When you're weak, you're strong. You don't have to somehow generate the strength to be perfect or do things. Perfectly will say everything perfectly but recognize that I am with you and I can bring good out of anything. Trust me.

working alongside Couple of years ago, one of my sisters went to a week-long festival abroad until 3 ends to run trains inundated the area. Create ankle-deep mud. No one was allowed to leave the part from a foot. That is a driving ban because vehicles are getting stuck. That was rationing of food and water. Thankfully, they didn't run out. However, there was no washing. You couldn't brush your teeth. And let's just say toilet Arrangements were adjusted.

One comment that my sister made struck me. She spoke positively of the unity. Without those going through something together, unity in adversity, this is strength that comes from, that isn't love. That's cool. Can I sign two people when your body is going through it? You may not feel like your particular bringing God's light into a situation, but the prayer of faith does change things. Which brings me to my next point. Walking alongside someone in prayer. It might be appropriate to pray with someone and it might be appropriate to pray later. I was talking to someone recently. Who told me just a snippet of his story starting with the fact that by the time she was 16 years old. She was living in a hostel. She said the police use to drop her off and now it's a lovely Christian manager who done invite her into his office and say, you know, I'm praying for you and she told him what it's not doing any good. And he said to her long after you've left her, I'll still be praying for you. She was not too late to kick sounds about hostile because in her own words, she was so wild. A few years ago in her late thirties, she surrendered her life to the Lord. Okay. Longside someone and pray, it doesn't matter how impossible a situation or person looks nothing. And no one is impossible with God. You may see the fruits of your prize like that hostile manager. You may not, but one thing's for sure. You only have to pray in faith to ensure for a hearing with God. All job is to pray as the Holy Spirit leads and do whatever he calls us to do by faith and trust God with the rest.

Nothing. And no one is impossible. Think About Soul, he persecuted the church imprisoning and beating those who believed in Jesus and standing by. When Steven the first Malta was stoned to death God, in the coats of those who would killing him. As it says a nice 2220. Think about soul. Think about, yay. Think about me. We all have our stories. I need Chaguanas Americo, regardless of our starting point. You can have a nice upbringing privileged, even put good man, has a knot and a nice disposition on to enough to get is born again. To have the Holy Spirit living inside us, like a deposit to guarantee the Fulfillment of his promise of eternal life as it says, in 2 Corinthians 1:22, Most of us need someone to walk alongside us in prayer for salvation. I'm aware that God deals directly with the fee, for whatever reason, but most of us need someone to walk alongside us in prayer. It's a Salvation as well as different points off to as on life's journey. God, chooses to work through Us free prayer, rather than act as a benevolent dictator to help us to fulfill our potential in destiny and become more and more like transformed into his image, from one degree of Glory to another as it says in 2 Corinthians 3:18. We don't need to have been through what someone else is experiencing in order to walk alongside them if that's what the Lord has put on a house today but he claims there's nothing like the empathy of someone who's been through what you've been through experience, fuels empathy, like nothing else. I love what it says in Psalm 84 verse is 6:55. So my T4 vs. 527, the song is puts it this way. Bless each other's strengths to send you in whose hearts a set of whose hearts are set on pilgrimage as they pass through the Valley of Baca or weeping. They may take the place of Springs Buhl, Tim Raines, Ultra, cover it with pools for blessings that go from strength-to-strength, till 8 to Pace before God in Zion. Note to self, go to strength is in God, they're necessarily circumvent the difficult and painful roads. As we know, but make them a place of blessing for those who follow on to them. I took simplest people, can share, what's help them at difficult times, be that Spirits neon do practice a You to go. Remember someone telling me how they went on the divorce recovery work show. That was like play altitude reading through it and how beneficial it was and more recently, I had the same from someone else. It was a positive healing experience. Let my believe is who'd been there so that you don't have to be Christian to go on the coast. It's the principle of Psalm 84 verse 6 in practice as they pass through the Valley of Baca a weeping, they make it a place of Springs. The ultra is also covered with pools or blessings. Such a close working. Alongside someone may involve many things. It may include listening. It may be going through something together. It may be praying for someone, but they've been through a similar situation to those or not. I've got to finish how I started. What's the bravest thing you've ever said that? The boy, Help set the holes. Asking for help isn't giving off its refusing to give up. We remember that as we walk alongside people and also as others walk alongside us, it'll help us to have the right attitude towards others and ourselves.

Thank you so much. Lord, Jesus, that you always walk alongside us. You've promised to never leave us or forsake us. I do love to love others through a few hours and you don't expect us to do it in our own strength. Please give us the wisdom tonight. What is Austin? And what is not? And please give us the grace to walk to Walk alongside of us to love others as you love, as well as to receive your love through others because we all in Jesus name. I thank the Lord because we know that you've had us all men.

Thanks, Jasmine. Coming in.
