intro

I took my truck to the shop on yesterday and while i was waiting in the waiting area, the service woman came over and cut the television on.

.. when the tv came on there was a preacher preaching about salomons temple and having wholes in your pockets… wholes in your pockets because your focus had shifted… no longer doing what you knew to do.. paying your tithes .. sowing.. giving offerings to the church, temple.. ministry that you are attending...

spending time in worship.. serving… or just making sure the house of God was being keep up.... he said that salomans temple was a magnificent place…everyone who came was in awe....he said the temple was destroyed and basically just laid dorment… the need to make sure the temple was keep up.. had vanished… because the peoples focused had .. switched from doing the will of God… making sure his house was full.. and taking care of… to me myself and I…

o .. i need to make sure i have the nicest house.. all my stuff is keep up… he then took a pusre that he had cut holes in.. and begin to give an example oh how.. when we get paid paid.. or hav money in our .. purses.. wallets.. bank accounts.. how we may put money in… and then all of a sudden .. the money begins to fall out.. becasue of the holes.. and .. then he took a needle and thread and begin to stich up the holes..

and while he begin to stitch up the holes .. he began to say.. God said when your focus returns back to your supposed to be focused on.. when you begin to belive the word of God for your life again… thats right… when you begin to focus and beleive again.. because thats how to got to where you are now…

God brought your from being in lack.. to abundance… but your didnt reach overflow… because your focus shifted… because you stopped doing what you knew to do… you started saying.. thats to much… the church dont need all that..

I dont have time to.... i.. i … i.. .. instead of yes Lord...

and the preacher began to sow and stitch.. the purse and reminded the people that when you do what God has called you to do… God will restore.. .. dont worry about what you have lost.. because God can send you a retroactive blessing.. that will be more than enough.. to make up for everything you lost… plus put you ahead.....

but the one thing you must do.... in order to receive.... the one thing you must do.. is believe… not just believe in God… but Believe the word of God concerning you....

then suddenly I lost focus and began to focus on the type of audience he was preaching to… then i got anxious because about how long the wait and begin to walk around..

but why dont you tell your neighbor … BELIEVE GODS WORD.. tell them.. DONT JUST BELIEVE GODS WORD FOR SOMEONE ELSE… BUT BELIEVE IT FOR YOUR LIFE..

Scripture

We are reading the book of Luke this Month, and when I started reading i came to to a passage of scriptures that … simply said - are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.

This was not

this was not even

but this was.. more of a

1 thessalonians

situation.. this young lady was going throu out her day.. excited about being engaged and preparing for her wedding day.. when the angel visited with her and told her God has found favor with you… and spoke a word into her life from the Lord..

as she stood there after the Angel .. Gabriel told her not to be afraid.. she listen to what he had to say… as she stood there with mixed emotions .. i imagine she felt like the father in

mark

and she asked the question… well how is all this supposed to happen.. since i know not a man.... since i am a virgin?

Is there anyone here who has heard the word of the Lord concerning them… and just wanted to laugh.... is there anyone here who has had someone prophesy to you.. and you really wanted to say get out my face .. who do a look like booboo the foul.... but there was really some part of you that .. really wanted to believe… Mary asked a question and the angel of the lord answered it...

and verse 38 was her sink or swim moment.... many of us have had our sink or swim moment… that moment when we either believe the word of the Lord or say ill wait.. you see because of the actions of wolves dressed up in sheeps clothes… because of the pediphl and fake prophets.... witches and warlocks .. people trying to operate in a calling that they dont have.. we have created a society in which people find it hard to believe the word of God when its not lined up with what they see … or what they want for there life...

i am reminded of brother nieman in

because of nemans status and the word of the Lord didnt come the way he wanted it too… it didnt come the way he expected it too… he almost missed his deliverance...

i have to ask the question.... is there anyone here .. who has missed there blessing simply because .. it didnt come the way they wanted it too… is there anyone here thats has missed there blessing becasue it didnt look like what they expected...

i must say .. first lady almost missed her blessing becasue i didnt dress like the brothers… i didnt act stuck up like the other brothers.... she almost missed her blessing because folk was in here ear.... telling her all about who i use to be…

tell somebody… dont you miss you blessing becasue of status the quo… ..

tell them .. dont you be like the jews and miss God because .. it didnt happen the way you wanted and expected to happen....

Vi. yes lord

.. Mary answer and said… i am the Lords.... in order words .. mary said yes lord..... be it unto me accoding to thy word.... and it wa sat that moment she fully recieved what the angel of the lord has spoken..... as men and women of God.. we have to understand that the preacher… the mother.. the misiionaries.. .

the prophets .. prayer… word from God… want mean anything.. until you....

somebody say YOU!!!

BELIEVE it for yourself...

when brother neaman got over himself.. and went to dip in the jordan like the man of God said… he received his healing....

you see when we received the word.

ackowledge the word of God for our life.. we may begin to have that moment of anxiety .. like we may experience when we walk up to a enclosed roller coaster for the first time...

we see the entrance… and we see the exit.. we see the results becaue we see people coming out.. laughing .. happy and excited....but since we have never rode this particular ride before we have no idea what to expect...

V.. close

the word of the Lord says… i want you to prosper and be in good health even as your soul propers… the bible says..

jeremiah

God has an expect end for us… like the book by Scott Peck… our joruney may seem like the Road less traveled… but yuo have to choose to believe Gods word for your life.... nobody can do it for you..

an if you choose to believe God… you will be blessed..

in luke 1:45 Elizabeth told… Mary your blessed becasue you chose to blelieve that God will do.. what he said he would...

.. as I close.... i plead with you.... to believe God … believe God for your healing.... for your open door… for restoration.. what ever it maybe.. believe God can do it.. believe he will do it… but most of all believe Gods word… for your life...
