Seeing God at work (Making a difference)

But how many people go into the room? When we got this prayer list, we got this great. Be going to try this. Two things that we don't take off. I'm ready. I'm going to bring you all the things that I got to stay with you to die and we saw at least and then we get to the end. Everything. Okay. And I'm sure the father is looking down on us going As he wants to speak back to us. I don't want to encourage you. This is, this is encouragement, this is no lie, Joe family service when I should have service. I want to encourage everyone of us. Do you make time to listen to the father? Do you make time? Do you thing take it? Sometimes. I thought I was so full of stuff that we have to put stuff in your diary and say I'm going to make some time now. For example, when I get a very busy day, I have to put in my diary that I'm going to walk the dog. But don't get smoked every day but ended up Reece he died suddenly. And so when might I start to fill out with appointments? I have to put in my diary a quiet time. I don't know whether you do that. Maybe you just you just have a structure to your tired just like, okay, my quiet time is first thing in the morning, we will happens. If you're going to be, you're going to be busy doing something. Maybe it doesn't work. I want to encourage you make time to spend time with the father, and in that time, deliberately Be quiet. So father, if you got something to say to me, Because I absolutely sure that when God speaks to us, it's creative, it's purposeful. It impacts our seat changes us, his word is living and effective. We know that Plus not just the Bible, it's his voice. Speaking to a light when he speaks, when you've had a prophetic but there are people in this room who whooped with prophetic words. You've worked with the truth that God has given you. And you said, but God said, he has now gone to be with the father part of the net with Paul, so he was on the plane and he had preferred, he had prophetic word. So he was on the plane traveling. I think it was in India. It was traveling India. I'm one of the engine stopped working. And everybody started panicking this playing at 3 in one of the back into on the wings at three engines. One of the engines still working and everybody's kind of King in the applied, it was coming over. It's okay. The plane is being designed to lose an engine. That's fine. We were okay, we will get to our destination case going through his night, but we will get to our destination. And then the second engine stopped working. Now everybody is panicking. Even the pot is going what never flown a plane with one engine to the people around him. He said, he's okay. Well, I have unfulfilled prophecy in my life. Every stop that God promised he's going to, he's being spoken over me. I didn't see this plane is not going to crash. No one is going to die. And he said that out the confidence of the fact that God had spoken to him the plane landed. Eventually he got there and there was lots of rounds of Applause and that one or two people to help him and said thank you cakes for sharing that with me cuz he go to know. It was it was just very small plane. If you've got a spoken to you that job is to be done. That job is to be fulfilled. My job is to be fulfilled.

That's why I said last week, there is nothing. I was trying to see if you were with me. I said the story about the youth group is somebody said they seen me in another country. You are unique just like snowflakes are unique. Just like fingerprints are unique. You are unique. And the plan that God has for you is the plan for you. The plan for you. In Matthew Chapter 5, it says this. You are the salt of the earth and you are the lights of the word, you are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be my soul to see you again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world, a town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people puts on Light lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on the stand and it gives light to every one in the house in the same way. Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in Heaven. Salt is about proximity. You can't have sold separately food because I also sitting here in the food's here, when he's going to make the food, taste better. One of the things you got to do, is you got to put salt in, I understand that I'm not to cook. Please don't ever don't ever ask me to cook anyting. Judy is nothing very specific Lee there. No, but I do know that if you want to sell something, maybe you want to bring the flavor out the meet you, maybe need to rub salt into it, to bring the fly right? You can't leave it on the side. Sometimes people forget to put salt in something and they realized I forgot to put the sultan paste it because the flavor hasn't come out, we need to be closer to one another, to be able to rub up against one another, when you rub up against one of you smell things, you got what you got wolves coming from people if you have a bean in a very, very, very, very crowded train. Maybe the underground in the Windsor. Now you'll stand in that. You can't even put your hands in your pockets. You can put your hand. You somebody else. What you had in your pocket and attending, but you stopped at the smell of it.

And you feel the waltz about the people. You can Jenny have some people to help people. Are you, will you come and stand next to somebody's nose to help us. Now, they'll be some people here who've got two or three. I was on the on the Underground this week Tuesday, it was, and it was, somebody is sitting on the Underground and I had to jump on and a puffer coat on. And I was having a single with my sleeves were rolled up in there that want to see from a different country used to 3540 degrees and quite comfortable at 7:13. Salt salt, brings out flavor. We need to bring out the flavor in the world are all good people in the world who just need to come alongside a Christian and see, go to work and see God's hand at work. I'm going to go times at work, that will be flavored wolf howl like twice lights. What does it take to drive back? The darkness just one lights. I'm waiting for anybody have faithful in the dark.

But you know, if we are, we wonder what's in the dog. Don't lie cuz that's the thing with ferret. Do you know what gets rid of Darkness? Turn the lights on guys. Turn the lights on one of the things that I honestly feel missionaries. Miss being a mystery is all about is taking light into a dark place that place. Wishes. Becomes right. Stop because someone is there holding a torch. Someone is there lighting a candle? You know, I saw a chapter 6, I'm not going to read it today but it in the in the in the year King Uzziah died, I saw the little sitting on a throne high and lifted up. And his robe filled the temple. And he goes on to say it involves three and he cried unto another and said, holy holy holy is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. We just got a glimpse of God's glory. Do you know what? In worship this morning I was in tears. I was just thinking a little loud. I'll see you after we go to choir at the front singing, Harmony's, beautiful harmonies. And I just imagine okay, lights to 100 to 1000 when Angels worship with us. And then you start to hear a Welsh choir, whatever? Nationality are you prefer? The other nationalities are available, whatever, whatever you hear. Just get lost in worship. Now, I have I have sung alone and our son with the choir. I'm saying that I cannot stand alone, but I've done with the car. No one else in the room. But I sensed ominous other singing with me. They went in the room. That's just Angels coming and joining in not saying why was she was any special to anybody else is? And please if you say like some of my friends who said to me that if I can sing, Judy. And I had some very good friends at University that used to sit behind us at church and they like to push it, but they couldn't sing. I meant to say, I couldn't sing. If you went lol, they couldn't tell you. Whether that was awful down, they couldn't tell you, but it said, he won't play Love to Worship and God loved their worship. So they be going for it and if you try to follow them, you get lost because they weren't coming. But you were going. I was thinking the worst of them singing in the right time, but they weren't seeing them in the right tune. But don't lock their worship. And I'd love some time sitting in front of me as long as I managed to tune out to that tune.

All right, I'll need to make a difference. Is that we need to be able. See God and see God, it work. Some people will tell you, I don't know. I don't know if he's got that you're talking about so you can I pry. How can I pray for you? One of the most important things that we can do in this is saltiness at work. Is to say, can I pray for you?

Tune High Street last week was talking to someone. I just I had a bit of time and I sat down on the bench next to somebody and then I realized I needed them in a thottie to a King and then they got off of mine to somebody sat down on the bench next to me, I hadn't realized the person that changed and he's always has nothing to do with me, got into a conversation and that they were talking about how they had a family member who wasn't well and I said, would you mind if I pried On my way, please do absolutely sure that I thought I meant, I was going to go home and pray like I told you that and I said, I hope you don't mind and not right? And I woke up standing at meantime, but happened touches us. When we pry the father responds to the persistent with other father, responds to you. And to me, when we pray, when we get into the throne room, Austin hemenway crying out to him.

And what stuff and I said to her, do you know, don't you said not ready? I said, well, let me pray. I'm not see what gopal do in his hands. One of the reasons why we don't get into a room is Goldie's because we're lazy. I'm lazy sometimes, both of the other father sitting there. Waiting to hear from you and me. One of the other things that stops is getting close to God, he's all see. How do I send this week? Yes. Anybody else? I'm not going to ask you to put your hands up, think about it. And what I mean by cities, not just doing things that God doesn't want us to do. Some of those things can be good things. Good can be the enemy of do things. Sometimes we can do things and we think we're not re anybody in a hurry today. And we're always in a hurry out my yeah, that was too quick to that. I was too quick to it yet. But you know what? Our ability to see Garden to see color. What is a stop in carriages us and I want to encourage you. If you all discouraged right now I'm going to ask you to talk to God. When I finish to him you asked you to talk to garden soil or would you just show me something of yourself? Would you show show me something of your presence because our ability to seek God is impacted by I'll swing by on knowledge of who he is and where we expect to find him. We often don't reach out to God. Because that we feel we're in a place, we shouldn't be in full, get out of that place. Then move take a step and then might be a mindset. Sometimes, we're in a cycle of down. What's a downward spiral, pretty policy?

What is David science 139. If I go to the uttermost parts of the earth, even there, your hand will guide me. How far is East. How far is outer? Most I think that's the least around the globe once twice. I watched a very interesting program of astronauts and they were talking about, it's Stimpy, you said he sold the sunrise eight times in one day when you're in the spice station. Good morning glories about you see God's creation. You see it, what you see the he said you see stars that you don't see from us. He said, I don't know how any astronaut cannot be a Christian. Interesting point that interesting Thor.

I want the kind of pull this all together with the last trip to this in the Micah I want to talk about the feeding of the 5000 just briefly So let me read it. Read it to you. First Matthew chapter 14, verses 13 to 21, when Jesus heard what it happened. He withdrew with buy privately to a solitary place. He went to a quiet place hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the town's annoying. That would be when Jesus landed. He saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and heal the sick. As evening approaches, the disciples came to him and said, this is a remote place and he's guessing the lights and the crowds away so they can get to The Villages and by themselves. Some food, Jesus replied, they do not need to go away, you get you give them something to eat. We only have five loaves of bread. And two fish Leon said bring them to me, he said and he's the right to the people to sit down on the cross, taking the Five Loaves, and two fishes. And looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the laws that he gave it to the disciples. The disciples gave it to the People by All rights and was satisfied. And the disciples picked up 12 bucks before the broken pieces, that were left over the number of those, uh, was about five thousand men women and children. So when we say the feeding of the 5000, It's a lot more than 5,000. I just want you to take three principles from the simple story because I used to have a bracelet is broken and worn out now used to say wwjd what would Jesus do? If you ever find yourself in a place where you're running out, you running out of yourself, you're running out of time. You're running out of food. Let me encourage you to do what Jesus did. Number one sit down. I'm trying to rush around trying to do all the things you need to do. Sit and be still as he says in Psalm 46:10, be still and know that I am, God be still. And that's not just in the hall, at notice with the body sit, see if you need to sit on your hands, be still and know that I am God because that's a moment. Why you saying I can't do anymore? I can't do anymore. So I'm just going to hand this over to you. Behind it over to him. Be still ice number. One number two is give thanks. Give, thanks, give thanks for what you have. Give thanks for what you don't have. Be thankful in all things going on about this before. I give, thanks I old times, even when life is pretty. but, We got to say bad word that once I put life is is no good but give thanks. Get your eyes off the things, get your eyes off, the lack on to the job, who will provide number one piece till number to give. Thanks number 3, then dispersed what you have to distribute, what you have. The fascinating thing you should start with five lesson, two fish, and yet there was many many baskets of leftovers. God is a god of Plenty. God is a god of more than enough unbelieving. Not just in that basket. This morning is going to be more than enough to pay for the wall and the and the offering this going to be given to those who give an alarm to leave in that will billie's covered Juliet stepped out and fight. You said the Moose come downstairs. I need to get it repaired for the safety of everything involved and we don't want anybody nipping in and causing trouble. So she got it sorted now. It's got the bill in my opinion. But we fell asleep out if we felt we should do that, which didn't feel we should wipe so crack up. There are times when God says, you got to go back to you cuz you said, I'm not saying we should be crazy, but if God says, God says And we need to stand on. That would only need to walk in that goodness. We will see need many times in our world. We will see. Men need a many moments practice due to business sometimes 22 selfishness. Sometimes due to Pride. But you know what we can give and God is able to give more than the Oscar imagine

So, let me pray.

Father, God of more than enough. Lord, you own the cattle on a thousand hills. She says, that in your would enslave father, we look to the author and Perfecter of our faith who sent his one and only son, As I told you about last week to pay the price for you and me to pay the price for All wrongdoing. So the price the price for a simpleness, it we might have a unique relationship through Jesus through Christ with the father. It's like father, like cry.

You need to see a change in seconds that one or two of your prank, for your boss. And your boss is giving you a really hard time. You come get your boss dismissed, you can break a limb. Some of them will get promotions because of the prize that happened today, but I won't be able to anymore. So, if you need to see a change in circumstance, I am not talking about something you can do. Until we know something you can do nothing about, I'd ask you to stand up looking like you what it is. You can take that to the father. You can bring it to the car. If you need a change in your circumstances, would you stand? Cuz I'm going to pray that God to change his circumstances.
