Cuz I bet you that's your rage. You had a few storms, come your way.
Coming from 1st Peter, 4:12 and 13. Beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery trial, the fiery trial, which is to try you. As though, some strange thing happened on to you, but rejoicing, as much as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings that when his glory shall be revealed, you shall be glad also with exceeding Joy.
What I want you to know today. Is that It Ain't Over Til It's Over. God has the last advance in your situation. This morning I'm I'm asking you. I said I'm asking, you don't look at the scoreboard. Don't look at your situation. How rough things are the moment? The mountain, how far behind you are? I'm telling you to look at those things. If you got a problem, I got a gun for you. If you got a problem and I sent him to you today,

To be told something. It's another thing to be prepared for what you're being told. I know this, you will face storms in your life. The Bible says in this life, we shall have tribulation
It also be of good cheer for I have overcome the world come on. Now he has overcome the world. He's not in that cave anymore anymore.
The Bible says that the rain falls on the just and the unjust, the Bible and full of trouble going to run into the storm notebook, is telling you you're going to run into some trial called you think you're just going to go like he's a crazy crazy train down this road of life.
We will have troubles, we will have trials. We will have difficulties. We will have hard times. We will have problems in our life. I'm preaching to you today. Are you ready for your storm?

You're going to have problems in your life but I'm here to tell you that in your life, I listen some things may never come easy for you and others may be blessed and say man, I am done a nice Road here today. It may be a struggle. It may be a struggle is for you to do 5. Everyday, if you're going to have to walk with God, you're going to have to work at it. If you're going to have a good marriage, you're going to have to work.
You got to put some effort into it. I tell you. This is enough kind of Life. Participate. Prove yourself. Got to work hard. You know, you may just have to fight every day in your life.
But there is a God, man. If you wants to walk by your side, he wants to be there through your difficulties in life.
Finally Brethren whatsoever, things are true whatsoever. Things are honest whatsoever, things are just, whatsoever, things are pure whatsoever, things are lovely whatsoever, things are of good report. There shall be any praise, think on these things.
In your life. You may have to fight to the end. It's your life. It's what you were given.
Push through persevere through.
And if you make it into heaven, It will be because you refuse to give up, if you're making it into heaven, it's because you fought the good fight. If you're make it into heaven, it will be because you were ready to face the storms in your life. I'm telling you, I'm asking you to prepare yourself cuz they're coming.
You see there's an enemy who wants to destroy you. There's an enemy that wants to throw you a curve ball. He is a guest. You listen to me. He doesn't want you to live for God. He doesn't want you to have a relationship with God. He's happiness. And let's just let yourself in the church pew, and do nothing. He was happy that you'll come here and sit for 90 minute. And you never see us again for the rest of the week. You don't call us for the rest of the week. Let me remind you that this Saturday is our back to school giveaway, where we get backpacks, and supplies to the kids. 10:30 to 12:30.
Do we work for God? Or do we just sit on a few? You asked yourself that question? And I'll be here at 10:30 at Saturday morning. Superintendent will be first. Lady will be ready for the storm. I said, are you ready for the store before we make it into heaven? We're going to have to endure some storm 1st Peter, 1:6 through 7th wherein, he greatly Rejoice for a season. If need be we are in heaven is through manifold temptations. That the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perish through would be tried with fire might be found unto praise and honour and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
God. Has to give us the bread of Affliction and the water of adversity, busy for a little while.
It says he's trying to show us the right way. The voice is telling us, this is the Right Way. Pastor first, this is the right way. Lady lady had a right straight is the way
Listen to have you ever read about the disciples? Have you ever open the book?
Your life was progressing nicely. Peacefully. The Sun was shining. The winds were calm, the waters were smooth, then all of a sudden the wind gets knocked out of you knocked off your feet. You saved. All the Lord. Is that the right way? The waves break over. You don't know what hit you. It takes you by surprise. You look up to heaven and he said, don't you see what's going on here?
Would you care to have them in trouble? Are you listening? Matthew 8:24 says that the ship was covered with the waves. Mark 4:37 says the waves, beautiful the ship. Luke 823 says and they were filled with water and they were in Jeopardy. Are you hearing what I'm saying? That work problems, are you going through social problems? All that social media. We just got to get rid of it and spend time with family. A man. Storms, difficulties sickness trials. Today people the waves are the waves beating on your boat. Are the waves beating on your life. Nothing is stable.
Nothing is grounded. Everything is shaking. Oh, don't forget about Joven the trials that he went through. Remember Behold I go forward but he is not there and I cannot receive on him on the left hand right hand, but he knows the way and I take it. and when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Always shaping you people. He's molding your people. He's letting your work, but you got to do with yourself as dad's in the moms. Oh, son and daughter, if you got to go through it yourself. You got to feel a little pain. Get the trophy for winning, you get the trophy for coming to the second-place, get the trophy for third place. Other than that, you gave it your best effort. You have to work at it. You have to develop your skills. You got to learn like you got to learn your God. Who remember the trial of Abraham? My whole life was a trial. And David went through trials and Moses had storm and Elijah had a difficult time. Joseph. Sure had a hard time. Come on. You know. He's names in the Bible. What makes you think you're any different?
Daniel had the lions den.
The three Hebrew boys, praise the Lord, had their fiery furnace. Jesus had a cross. And I lost world. You think you got troubles? What I'm trying to say to this morning when I'm trying to let you know today is that storms will rock. You stormed will shake you storms. Will test your faith. Storms will bring adversity in your way. He's asking you to make the right decision to come out.
Oh yeah, the storms will know.
But when I really want you to know this morning is, listen closely please, the storm will not last forever. I said the storms will not last forever as realize. Your pain is right now. Has realize the trouble is right now. One day, it'll all be gone. One day it will be taken care of for quick questions for you if God be for us, who can be against us, and the answer is no one to whom. Shall I say anything to the charge of God's elect? No one. Who is he? That condemns no one. It is Jesus that intercedes on our behalf who sells separate us from the love of God, no worth nothing.
How old is Isaiah? 43:19, says behold. I will do a new thing now. It shall spring forth, shall ye not know it. I will even make a way in the wilderness and the rivers in the desert.
Praise the Lord, the storms are coming. They were sung about it today.
