I Believe (3)

I Believe

Psalm 40:1–4 KJV 1900

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

In God

Psalm 40:4–5 KJV 1900

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward: They cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.

Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works...

Yesterday, Bro. Franklin and I were out - what a great time of fellowship - knocking doors - promoting the bus ministry, witnessing...

We had the opportunity to go through the plan of salvation with a man - he did not get saved, but we were able to share the whole gospel and we prayed with him - I’m hoping to be able to connect again with Jeremy - He needs the Lord...

He did not know that anyone could know we are saved and as I spoke to him - He was convinced that I was convinced that I am saved - He said - I can see it in your eyes that you know you are going to heaven… and I DO!!!

Many wonderful works

Many steps of faith

Many times seeing God and His word proved true and trustworthy!!! 38 years of being a Christian -

I believe God...

I believe God is real!!!

I believe Jesus Christ His Son - was manifest in the flesh - crucified, and risen again for our justification - I BELIEVE THAT

I believe that when a person puts their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior - they become a child of God

I believe God loves me

I believe God loves you

I believe God loves the world - If I didn’t I would go get a different occupation -

I believe God answers prayer

I believe God blesses obedience

I believe the christian life is the greatest life to live -

Philippians 1:3–6 KJV 1900

3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

The Apostle Paul had great confidence in the people of God

Some were babes in Christ

Some were mature believers

Some had forsaken him

Some remained faithful

But Paul’s over reaching attitude was one of faith...

We can get negative

I have had my times of negative views

We can get cynical

I have had my times of being cynical

But the truth is… we all need to have someone believe in us...

Believe you can do it

Believe you are worthy - and you are!!!

You are so valuable that God sent his son into this world - not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved...

You are somebody

You are special

You are desired

You are needed

You are a blessing

I believe in YOU...

You are the church

You are the body

You are the people that God has chosen to live and lead in these dark days

YOU… Have the

Ability

Opportunity to:

carry the truth of the Gospel

carry the weight of the mission

I believe in YOU...
