Winning the battle from within
Welcome to all service. Welcome to church. Welcome to Lowe's this thing online. If you like titles has the title for the 7 this morning, Winning the battle from within. Winning the battle from within you like Brussels and under. What do you like more films? Often you'll find on online on the TV Black and Whites and you'll see that the stars of the Past come out cuz you know I think I can make these statements I think that you are trying to find a Night them so don't take them literally fine but I think there's always a bad for going on. I tried to see if there was some way of looking back in history to see what was there every year. Since Christ weather wasn't going on somewhere in the world, is another fights going on. And that's between people between Troy between countries between nations. But that's also true about our lives as if I'm going on as if I please.
Think about it. You had a lovely weekend by the Glorious peaceful time with friends and family. Everything's going really well and suddenly something comes to rob you of your pace. Telephone calls someone who cuts you up with a way. Something that just got somebody to cut you up on the way you on your journey somewhere and suddenly your priest, he's getting stolen.
Yeah, he's not just wolves. And buckles is also rumors about muscles and we love to kind of keep on talkin about the Box stuff. Your newspapers do not sell because they have nice headlines. Dogs, lost dog found. Grandma has fantastic coffee. With five generations of children. Great-grandchildren these things. Do not make the front page that lucky to make a decent paper. If I'm honest, what makes the front page? He's bad news. That seems to be what sells newspapers. So let me start with some scripture and lay down some rusty 629. If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ. Nearest in the word of advice, and of the good doctrine that you have carefully, followed, but reject for frying, an old wife's labels. An exercise yourself to Ward's, governess for bodily exercise profits, little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the lights that now is and of that, which is to come. This is a frightful saying and worthy of acceptance,
We can find spiritual Mary's in the physical in the physical of the mare is in the spiritual. She is, my height is a mess. Probably my life's, a bit of a mess, too. And if, if, if if I'm struggling and praying and reading the Bible of them things, just kind of start to fall apart in the physical, stop your sniveling in Gasol.
Pull yourself together. We we often use it. Maybe you sites yourself.
Sometimes it's about Focus. Sometimes he's just about taking all the things and taking some steps to making some decisions but you know what? Procrastination is a great thing to stuff is doing. I wonder whether I should do a or b or c o j. I wonder whether I should do but he or she or they should. I do see all day thinking about the album, nothing? And sometimes the best thing that we could do is just get moving. If you want to steer a ship, the best way to stay out of shape is to get it moving. If you say that you like you said a big boat. If you sign a great big thank you to stare at you. If you turn the wheel and you're not moving nothing happens, you don't change directions because I see the run. The other little brother on the back of the ship. Actually only works when you're moving. Find me the car if you turn your steering wheel, if you're not moving. You haven't changed direction that you need the needs to be momentum and the change of Direction. I don't want to encourage us in our line if we're not moving, then change your direction has minimal effect. I want to be a picture and healthier. Well, we need to we need to get going. We need to get doing things relations for my first Seven Sisters.
You ran well, who hindered you from obeying, the truth. You ran well. So you did a good race, but what cussing on you walked off in your wife, what stopped you doing? What you should have been doing it. So it's about so many times you to think about this. Think about you all week last week, whatever. That was supposed to be listing on my but those people listening lights up. Think about lost. Think about the good intentions you had to do. One, two, three. And then you got to the end of that time. You think about the one thing you really want you to do and you didn't do it. It's a bottle. Sometimes we have to battle with the difference between what's important and then not the same thing. Urgent Clinic goes now. Now, now, now now Important. If we don't do some of the important things, everything becomes a legend.
Happy. If we don't plan some things and prepare some things and suddenly we're rushing around, trying to do the things. I'm giving a spice to plan and prepare that again becomes a place to buy Apple all rice, get spoiled by the urgent things overwhelming, the important things go last night, since it's a little leaven leavens, the whole up just a little bit, makes a big difference. It multiple times just a little bit of truth. Will multiply just a little bit of Hope. Will multiply if you find yourself with what with friends in a group of people and everybody's having a bit of a pity party miserable today, you can choose to join the principal see if you want to you know that miserable or you could say I enjoyed the winds. I used to fly a kite when I was a child and we can change the conversation. Just by taking off her clothes off the pity party, whatever that might be something that's good and wholesome and healthy. In my opinion when Humanity gets together, if we're not careful with your waist, dropped to the lowest common denominator and the lowest common denominator is not necessarily where we want to be. So we can choose to be a little leaven in the life. We can choose to be the liquid line. Hose is too bright to ride, the causes of the circumstances, the conversation to try because the flight to change my tweenie bulbs in meetings, where the voice is it going up? And now people instead of sitting down and talking, honestly, I standing up and now they're going to get one another and you can just see how it escalates, see how it goes from a civil conversation to an argument and I'm sure you can all think of examples that, but you got to Pink singing, fingernails people start saying things that I don't want to say because you're that they lost control of their tongue. Sometimes all we need to go get something like that. We just type the conversation, we just drop off a piece problem, is that could be such a thing as a droplet of God's presence in a word of wisdom. We just say something into the moment and something everybody goes. End the conversation moves up into different directions. The battle changes, the Bible is no longer about these two people who were disagreeing the proposed move to it's going to a piece mode.
I thought you might stay with IVF. What about if we throw some rubbish ingredients? What about if things? Just aren't quite that good? When some 100 and 39th AV drugs, and she said, for you. In Wood Park, you covered me in my mother's day, I will praise you for. I am fearfully and wonderfully. Might if so many people wrestle with who they are and whether they're any good
That might be true but they were unintended in terms of Family Planning with the the mom and the dad doesn't like dogs. The label yourself a mistake is not a battle to take on it, lives with you for the rest of your life. You're always did.
Win that battle type custom shoes to say hi. I'm a Child of God. Yes, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Let me say that to you until those people you are fearfully and wonderfully. Mike And just three days they having some hundred thirty-nine Psalm 139 foundational, a sense of identity. Where can I flee from your presence? If I go to The Optimist call sadiya even there. Your hand will guide me. He was speaking out of experience, David reminder, real big mess, the number of times. So much, a big messy running, and hiding from God. But he came back to the place and I'm sorry. Father God, I am. Sorry, forgive me of my sins, he repented Nissan back to go, but he remembered from The Rock from which he received from the place that he was created. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Applewhite very eloquently in in the number of Different license in Philippians 1:6, it says this very thing that he who has begun a good work in. You will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ, okay? So if we made from good ingredients and gods created us, he's gone to complete his work. So we start from a good source, we start from a good moment to creation of these all battles people back over there. I think the people by their self We wrestle with, who we are, where we seen, what we've done and we end up leaving ourselves to be painted or messed up because of circumstances or situations, another Bible, your we are fearfully and wonderfully made that God is going to complete the work that he begun. He who began a good work in. You is going to complete it. Yes. Lord you are still at work in my life and I want to trust you but you will turn these things when all things work together for good. Another quote, from scripture in 1, Timothy 1. And this is what I want to really encourage you. One Timothy 1, verse 18, its title in my Bible fights, the good fight. Buenos Aires. Run away from flights. They're all that route. There are flights. Will you need to take a stump? And sometimes I think does not mean to punch needs to be thrown sometimes quite thing does not need mean that needs to be set when I was at University, many, many years ago. And I remember coming out in the student block and that was a crowd of people and in the Middle East Gaza paper with the guy and fixed. We're off of words of being sad and everybody's trying to run in the middle. I might just tell him that I just look to everybody on my way up to me. And I didn't say a word. I just some of these guys will be getting me some of these rough days, but I just stood there and didn't say a word and I just stopped in the middle. I don't know why people stood that I didn't say a thing. and then they will come to my house is not going to be the guys weren't being a
I might go, everybody just warmed it up and stood in the middle.
So sometimes we don't need to do anything else. Apart from just breathe you got school dissipate. Sometimes we just need to sleep. Sometimes we don't know what we need. We need to say, and we need to step into the circumstances. I do what I got to trust you. Right now, scripture says, open your mouth and I will fill it. There are many times when I have not known the private I should pray but I know that I should pray us. Another bottle bottles, if you read books about the first world war in the second world war and go right back into history and somebody got to the top of the hill raise the flight list is a voice and again the spirit of the men and women with listed on the bathroom window,
When the battle was won. But sometimes it needs to be a rallying cry. And sometimes the rallying cries, you today's a good night. Let me get us off to a great start as We Gather, he's a good night tonight and incredible devices, I have opportunity and sometimes braving things is the battle. If I give you and I should put some sheets of paper on the table, cuz I thought. Okay, if I just gave you a message. Drawing, who knows what we'd end up. If I said, okay, stop, stop writing some good things down. Now, I stopped to frame something.
If I don't say rights in the paper than some of you might rights on the wall, the right price of each other and sometimes we need to frame things. And when when scripture says, keep on the encouraging, one of the people, spurring one, another also love and good things, as nothing back, so that we can do it any courage. One, another encouragement is a wonderful thing I've lost in our world. The world is so silent. There are so many rules and regulations and guidelines to say, you can't do this. When you called me that, I keep on doing what you do something because momentum momentum means we can be stared. Momentum means things can be shaped. So in one Timothy 1:18 it says this this charge I commit to you some Timothy. According to the prophecy has previously, might concern you that poison. You my wife a good wolf. I know, I know a number of people in the room and probably a few people online and a few people. This thing like her have had a prophetic words spoken through someone to I'm way too good Warfare with that prophetic. What do something with it? It's a Papal. If you don't say something to you, the first thing I would suggest often happens. He's bounced. Creeps in. Hear it, right? You don't remember the words correctly? How many stop twisting things in adapting things, and Wade's, a good wolf as one of the reasons why I encourage people. Write down what go to sets, you share it with some. Why do we need to write it down right now? That's why I need to write things down that I can come back to it again and again because you don't said I want to remind myself. I declare the works of God has spoken to me, and I want to declare it cuz I want to speak it. And I'm doing something with it too. When I declare, it might be speaking to the people around me. Some of you remember, their friends is now in Germany or so, I can't remember where he should. I shut it off. One of the prophetic, was he how to learn to play golf? Let me satisfy some Miguel. Remember he went from being a complete beginner a ghost to bring very good at it but he said that prophetic words with a few other men and the number of us committed together.
I'm so actually one of the reasons why I think it's good to share this stuff is because others could join us in time with you. And I mean, I'm Judy. I did not just stopped at my father's house because she had to plan go to spoke to her many times in the, this Destiny around this house. Unless somebody has to be one that your dad gave you a bit of a headache but now there's some Ugandan government changing their mind set on some things about the way things need to be done and that's going to mean some adjustment for some of that just needs to be. Maybe it was just a whole family just sitting out.
What is a good walking out? Not only is not for us and for those around us. Need to be reminded about what he said to us. God jul. God remembers. What he likes us. He likes to be reminded that we remember. I am trusting you for this, you promise, and I'm trusting you for this, you say
It says, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray then I will hear from heaven and Hillel a scripture so we can look at what daughter said to do something with it. But that's another reason why we need to declare it because there are people who were the enemy wants to stop us. We need to stand on the promises that God has given us. I'm sorry way, I could, whoop, we wage a good wolf are. So there is a baffle and we need to get a perspective who we all we are children of God. This is where it starts. It starts from within a child of God. Stop it. He continues to speak into yours in my life, through his words. The Bible free prophetic words, words of knowledge words of wisdom and I'm believing that he will. Fulfill his purpose in me and through me.
Play my final scripture. This morning is 2, Timothy 1, verse 7. And it's the one that's the memory of us. But this week, I think it's good to have loved and the power and the sound mind. Did you know you and I have sound months, God did not create a fool People Raymond. Brighten screen computers. Anybody have a computer stopped working in the room. Okay, now what it was first.
What type of program Zoo come along software updates of wear and tear his clothes? Things to not quite well cuz I should do the flop from those kind of things. You know, if anybody wants to know, where the computer is overheating is probably full of fluff and Dustin needs a bit of a clean. Satan is true about our bodies and our lives. Sometimes I hate to put his stuff and we need to cleanse. We need to clean cleansing, maybe about mind, maybe about Spirit sometimes. Not if we, if we like the Flop on the stuff we will overheat from time to time. But I think sometimes we just need the fresh wind of the. Holy spirit is the Blower's through and clears out the ghost not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, and the power. And the party starts with the right mindset, you and I are fearfully and wonderfully mind. We created in God's image. He's going to complete that work. He's going to complete that work to completion. Somebody to listen but if I'm in school, I would often talk about. I'm just going to read something from my handbook for my sins. Okay, if anybody has ever had a Haynes manual for car. But it tells you how to run your car. I'm going to not talk about my disabled. I'm like like, we'll just have to mention it but if I, if I get lost in my sinking, Turn my turn to my like, my map. Want my guidebook for life? I turned right now, I'm a bit lost. Can you help me find myself to scriptures to remind me that? I am precious. I'm glad you boo. I need goat slice you and I are precious.
and then finally, I referenced as a book of wisdom, A reference is a book of wisdom because it's a book so you could always stands and you can listen, you can grab her insights well, I see I believe the principles in here if we believe that for God's creation and come created, you and me, then that Bonnie today is not just a worried about it a hundred years ago or even a thousand years ago or even two thousand years ago today. We may change the, the, the the language to understand the ballast and things like that. So anymore, but actually, the principles behind a painting job and if we get a hold of those principles,
If we get a hold of principles, the battle is already won. So winning the battle for women starts with us, understanding, who we are. If we understand who we are, we understand that with faithfully and wonderfully made and sometimes the battle is already done.
Sometimes the battle is won, without a bullet. Being shot without a word being said, I need becomes the room of the war rather than the war itself against dealt with. For those not given us a spirit of fear, but of love and the power. And the sound mind, I mean
Father God, thank you but we are created by you for your pleasure. Call the thank you that you loved us so much that even when we go off course, you made a way, there is a place of redemption about his through Jesus, you'll son me who you sent to this earth to die and pay the price. And I'll place you went to the Cross was crucified died and rose again, and the fairest ending that has gone. 11:30 the reality show with cheese one, if it Be Your Will, Take this cup from me. Jesus set.
But he's submitting himself to his father's will.
Jesus, not only died as the Son of God and son of man, but he rose again. The tomb is empty. So, we live in the reality of the Bible is wrong. Or we can choose to sell it to draw cells to another bottle and another bottle and another Bible. But I see the Crux of it is the back of those already one in eternity. The work is being done. The price is being piped. And I just want to share a picture of units on praying right now, I think that some people maybe some people to listen online right now who just sent stuff, I realize that the price has been tight effectively you could walk into a shop and there's something with the price on it and it's a label next to that price that says but if he's free to you right now and you can't believe it, you're still trying to find the money to pay for this thing is eternal life and you made in the Father's Day. I'm actually we don't realize it. So we kind of still rushing around trying to work and how we're going to run in the money to pay for this.
God's already provided that. Why? It's free for that for us, the tight. But I still receive for us tonight but I'm still live in the reality.
I miss three things. I felt. I wanted to pray for this morning. Number one is, I wanted to pray for peace to pray for people who are battling with face,
I see you. If I asked you, you would say to me. Even though I don't have a big school like my life is not full of place. I don't know. It's promising that All lives are completely without trouble and strife. but if we start from a default setting of peace, let me come back to basic time rather than stopping for her books before setting of world.
If I default settings War then we enjoy the peace once in awhile. But respected opossum go back to work. If all default settings, please The Bible says peace but not as the world sees it.
I want to encourage for those people who are battling with finding peace.
Received piece that I receive a gift of peace.
No peace in your spare, nose piece from the inside. Notice the whole cycle. Here was winning the battle from within
If you are peaceful inside and you choose to protect yourself.
When is very difficult for people to typed your pizza. While you, if you choose to not, listen to things, you choose to walk away from certain conversation, you choose to say I'm going to stop this conversation right now. We'll come back to it in the future. But right now we need to stop because you just sent your PC thing, stolen and the battle is beginning to write someone who has pizza that sent to someone who's a peacemaker. Someone who's a piece Holder will know the induna.
So I just try the gulf would impart peace to you right now. To that was the same. So I wanted to pray for people who struggle with, who they are. Maybe they come from that maybe they went back in the history and looks at the Heritage, they find that they've got 67 different nationalities and maybe they don't know certain people in that house, but I want to say to you. Nice. And I want to slice you the scripture that David wrote, you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
I'm not smoke just about biology. It's not just about DNA in mankind, you still uncovering, the mysteries of what God has created.
at least he's busy this is not a place where song She's inventing song She's uncovering what God has created
But if you're questioning because you just, maybe you're, you think I'm? Well, I'm a man. I'm a man, I'm a man. Sometimes people want. I'm a mess. I'm a mess for me and my family. Okay. Please, we do not have to be, we do not have to be the result of our history.
history can be Rewritten, God, can change our power, we can be reborn
That's what becoming a Christian is to be born again.
To be born again, by the spirit of The Flash and the spiritual man rises up and suck me. Some of the flash stuff disappears into the past and we become a new creation in God in his hands, in his eyes. I do not be confused about your past, just know that you are a child of God and him being a child of God. You have a plea, has a plan and a Destiny for your life and having a plan and a Destiny for your life. Like that is great purpose.
Read. Jeremiah 29 verse 11.
I'm finally I'm finally I want to pray about this Sunday, this area, I'm always in the bathroom, maybe you feel like you don't seem to be groomed.
So, encouraged you to think about the lightning rod, not the Christ. He's all lightning rules, allow him to draw the back. Him cuz he's already paid the price. We don't have to be the Forerunner. We don't have to be the advance guard. Jesus doesn't need protecting. We don't have to fight the battle and then come back to Jesus Will weary and wounded.
We need to understand the Tri-Cities all captured. Frosty's Auto.
I'm listening to the captain's command. Listen to his words and his wife and let his will be done in your life. Avoiding the baffle from within.
