This sermon emphasizes the importance of trusting God with all your tomorrows, encouraging listeners to surrender their worries and fears about the future to God. It highlights the need to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, believing that God will provide for all our needs. The message draws from the example of Abraham's total dependence on God's promises and challenges believers to react to suffering in a way that preaches Christ's faithfulness.

Trusting God with all your tomorrows. You heard me? Trusting God with all your tomorrows. Would you go to Matthew the sixth chapter starting at verse 25, a very familiar portion of scripture. I want God to change our thinking this morning and do something that can really impact our lives in the future. Trusting God with all your tomorrows. Matthew six beginning, read verse 25. Jesus speaking, therefore I say unto you, take what no thought for your life, what you shall eat, what you shall drink, or yet for your body, what you shall put on. It's not life more than meat, the body more than raiment. 28, behold the fowls of the air, they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are you not much better than they? Skip down to 28. Why take thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin. Yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you? O you of little faith, take no thought, saying, what shall we do? What shall we drink? Wherewith shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly father knoweth that you have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Here's my message, take therefore no thought of for the morrow or tomorrow. For the morrow shall take thought of the things of itself, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Putting all, trusting God with all your tomorrows. Heavenly father, this is a message I want you to make real to my own heart. We have such a tendency to worry about tomorrow. We have such a tendency to worry about things that have not yet come, but we anticipate or fear. And I pray, Lord, that you take all that fear out of us this morning. We're here, O Lord, to hear and understand and hear what the spirit has to say. Lord, it's not right that your people be anxious, that your people be in despair about the future. We are, Lord, to turn all our tomorrows over to you. Speak it to us, may we take it to heart, and may this be a challenge to us. We pray in Christ's name, amen. By the way, Israel, we are going to Israel. We're going the first week of June. Those who have signed up to go, and I think there are still some spaces. You can contact the literature table back there and find out. But what you hear in the news and all about Gaza and some of the turmoil in the streets of Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv, there is peace and calm, and there is not going to be any danger. We're believing the Lord. We're going up to Jerusalem. People are coming from all over the world for these meetings. We have delegations coming, pastors and prisoners from many parts of the world. We're going to have a wonderful time. In Jerusalem for a week, so if you have not yet signed up, you still have some time, I believe, so you can check that in the back. We're talking now about trusting God with all your tomorrows. If you remember the story, God appeared to Abraham one day. He made an incredible declaration, an incredible command. It's simply this. Get out of your country and from all your kindred and from all your father's house to land that I will show you. He just suddenly comes and picks a man, and he says, I want you to get up, and I want you to leave your family, leave your country to a place that I'm going to tell you to go. And scripture says in Hebrews 11, 8, by faith Abraham, when he had been called to go out into a place which he should have to receive for an inheritance, he obeyed. And he went out not knowing where he was going, not knowing where he was to go. Now, what is God up to? Why would he search all the nations of the world until he found a man that he believed he can trust? And he calls him to pick up everything and go. He has no map. He has no idea or concept of where he's going, when he's going to arrive, how he's going to get there, who's going to finance it. He's just told, I want you from this day on to give me all your tomorrows. I want you to throw yourself at my mercy. I want you to believe what I'm telling you. And I want you to simply walk on my word. I want you to commit your life to a promise I'm going to make you. If you will get up, if you will go, I'm going to take you to a place you've never been. And folks, it's a place I want you to see that God wants to take all of us as the body of Jesus Christ. And that is total dependence on the promises of God, total dependence for every tomorrow from today on the rest of your life. That you will make a commitment. This was a call that received not only by Abraham, Paul the Apostle calls those who are in Christ the children of Abraham. Abraham was a pattern man. God says, I'm going to take a man and I'm going to show all the nations of the world. I'm going to show all the peoples to come what it means to please me and how a man should live and walk before God. I'm going to make him an example. I'm going to thrust him into my care. Now, he's up in age now. He's up in life in a number of years when he got this call. He was not just a young man. Now, he had surely had many plans for his family and his wife and for Lot, his nephew, and those who were with him in his immediate family. Surely they had made plans for the future, for the children to come. And for Lot, there had be surely plans made. You make a lot of friends. There are so many things involved in this. Any of you know what I mean? If you've got a command to pick up and just go and not told where to go. And Lord says, if you would just trust, I'll guide you. I'll tell you if you take the first step, what the next step is going to be. And I'll take you one day at a time. That's all. And you will trust me for your food. You will trust me for everything. Now, that's an incredible demand that is made on this man. And the Bible says, and Abraham believed in the Lord, and God counted it to him for righteousness. And Jesus picks up the theme here now. And he said, don't take any thought for your life, what you should eat or what you should drink. Take therefore no thought of tomorrow. For tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient of the day is the evil thereof. This does not mean that you cast aside all your plans and you don't make plans. Lord is talking about, don't be anxious. I will show you the way, but don't be anxious about it. Don't get in despair about it. And don't preconceive what might happen. You see, there are two little words that the enemy uses to disturb our spirit. Mentally, spiritually, and physically, and every other way. Two little words. What if? What if the economy fails? What if I can't pay my mortgage? What if I don't have a job? How am I going to live? What's going to happen to my family? What's going to happen to my children? What if I get sick? And what if I'm in the hospital? What if my insurance runs out? And we have a thousand different what ifs. And these cause anxiety and can lead to depression. And the Lord comes along in the midst of this and he provides a call. And he makes a call to his church and to his people. He comes in the middle of one of all of these what ifs. And he says, your father knows what you have need of. Your father's going to take care of you. He said, look at the lilies. Look at all of these things that I'm showing you. And I'm trying to prove to you that you have nothing to worry about. You don't need to say what if. You often say, God is. God will supply. The heavenly father will feed you. He will clothe you. He will care for you. Oh ye of little faith. Now, we gladly turn all of our past over to the Lord. All of our past sins and all of our past failures. And we take it to the victory of the cross. And we say, thank you, Lord. My past is under the blood. I'm clean. And we are so ready and so glad to give him everything in the past. We love that scripture for getting all things that are behind. And we give him the past. But we want to hold the right to the future. In fact, we make our plans. And then we go to God and pray, Lord, bless my plans. Bless my dream. Now, we live in an incredible age, unlike anything in history. We have a doctrinal disarray in the world today. Doctrinal disillusions. Because the pressure now, you hear it from pulpits all over America. You have to be great. You have to ask. You have to do big things. You have to be a success. And we have a driving now. There's a spirit in America, especially, of driven. And our kids are driven. They are driven to be successful so that they're just ordinary kids. They feel that they're nothing. They are under stress. They are stressed out. Now, they tell us that the great numbers of high school students are taking all kinds of amphetamines and all kinds of drugs trying to calm their spirit. And there is stress like we have never seen before. And parents are trying to plan their children's lives all the way out into the future. And this cry for bigness and success and drive. In the middle of it all, you hear this cry that God gave to mankind through Abraham and all the children of Abraham. That's not what I've called you to. And I don't think that's a testimony to the world that God's people should be as stressed as the ungodly. That we should be stressed out. That we should be in despair. That we should be walking in depression because we fear tomorrow. And most of you that are sitting here now, what I'm talking about, the fear that comes upon us, the anticipation of the future. We know that God has taken care of us up to this point. You can't tell me that God hasn't been faithful to you. I don't care how old you are. God has been faithful and he supplied. Some of you have faced death and the Lord has given you grace. Some of you faced divorce and God gave you grace. Some of you faced poverty and God brought you through. And you know that. And we all know that. And we say, I will trust God with my future. I'll give him tomorrow. But then about midnight, it comes creeping back in. What about tomorrow? Paul the apostle wrote an epistle to the Philippians and he was in prison in Rome at the time. And Paul is chained between two guards, the praetorian guard. At that time if you read Josephus, if you read biblical history or secular history also, you find that the custom at the time was the two praetorian guards were chained, one to each foot. And they were 24 hours working in various shifts. And Paul is chained between two ungodly guards day and night. And these men, I'm sure, are hardened. You see, they look at everyone. Everybody says they're innocent. But these men are hardened. They've seen it all. And to them, Paul is a criminal. He's guilty. He's not innocent because when you are in this kind of work and a police officer can tell you, you have the tendency to think that everybody's guilty. Everybody's got an alibi. This man must have lived in such horrible condition that the tearing down of a man's dignity is so easy at this kind of treatment. He has to have his food brought to him. And he's in it. His ministry is stopped as far as the church is concerned. The Philippians, there were some in Philippi, as I preached last Sunday, some in Philippi that were saying that Paul was bringing disgrace on the body of Christ because of this kind of treatment. If he were really holy, if he were really a man of God, nobody could put him in jail. Or an angel would come and release him. Where is his power in prayer? All kinds of things coming down on this man while he's imprisoned. You see, he's an active man. He loves to travel. Paul loved just going from house to house to meet God's people and to establish churches. He was always going. He loved the open road and the open sea. And here he is chained and he is down. Here's reports of his young preacher boys that he's raised in the spirit. They are having great results and God is blessing Apollos. Apollos is not in jail. He's not suffering. Timothy and Titus are having results. Epaphroditus is moving in the spirit and so many things are being done. And here's Paul sitting chained to a circumstance beyond his control. Now, how is Paul going to react? When he's changed, chained by circumstances. I want you to keep that phrase in mind, changed by circumstances. Because you see, your circumstances can change overnight. You've heard it said bad things happen to good people. And that's true. There are many bad things that happen to good people. I remember one time when Gwen was going through a very, very difficult time. And I overheard her. I heard her quietly weeping and I overheard her cry. And she said, oh God, did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you? Because she couldn't understand and it broke my heart. So I ran into the room and said, oh honey, please. The Bible says many of the afflictions of the righteous. Many of the afflictions of the righteous. You haven't hurt God. You haven't hurt him. And it was an encouragement to her. But you see, overnight you can lose control of the future. You can lose control because everything changes. And we don't like to hear that. But that's the reality. And I doubt there's a person hearing me right now that couldn't say amen to that. Something that happened in your life. A death of a husband or wife. Some tragedy or some circumstance came into your life that you did not anticipate. And it changed everything. You were chained by your circumstances. I was in a doctor's office recently when Gwen had an appointment with a doctor. And I was sitting out in the doctor's outer office. And an elderly woman, someone had come up to me and said, are you Pastor Wilkinson? I said, yes. She had found or overheard that I was a pastor. And she said, can I talk to you a moment? And I was waiting. This elderly woman said, you know, my husband, we had such a wonderful life. We had such fun together. And in his early 70s, he was afflicted with a stroke. And she said, I've been, I was his caretaker for five, almost six years. And he was crippled. I had to take care of him 24, I mean, it was 24 hours a day I was on call. And there was no other caretaker. And I was the only one. And she said, he became very depressed. And he died last year. But she said, just before he died, he called me into the room and he was so depressed. He said, wife, I want to tell you, you don't know what it's like to lose the ability to walk. And there's no more joy. There's nothing you can do. You can't drive. You can't go out. And I've been robbed of my future. I've been robbed of my tomorrows. And there's been no happiness. There's been nothing but sorrow. And I can't tell you the pain that is in my heart for having lost everything of my future. And to sit here suffering in this bed. And the lady turned to me. She said, sir, you know what I told him? I said, look, you're forgetting something. I was here too. I went through it too. My future was robbed from me. My tomorrows were taken away from me. I've spent all these years just waiting on you. And I did it with love. And I love you. But you do not think of my pain. You see, it comes on. And there was just a little bit of bitterness in her heart. She said, I miss him. But you know, I feel that through his condition, I too was robbed of my future. I was robbed of my tomorrows. You see, with Paul the Apostle, I'm going to say it again. Suffering comes to all of us. And many of you here now, and I've got to get this through to you. I'm not trying to preach a good sermon. I'm going to talk to you as a father. And there are some of you now that are chained right now to a circumstance. It may be in a marriage that seems to be out of control. It can be a financial situation. I know what it is. There's so many ways that people suffer. So many incredible things that happen. Our mailing list, by the boxes of letters that come in, of elderly people losing their sight. And suddenly, it's gone. It's slowly, but then one day they wake up and it's gone. And all of the horrible, incredible sufferings we read about and hear about. Now see, with Paul the Apostle, there are two options. And the same two options we all have. One, you can spin out of control in despair. You can just spend the rest of your life in a morbid investigation or contemplation of, why am I here? Why does God allow this in my life? And folks, if you're not careful, you can spin out until you become so depressed. You become so down. You forget those around you that suffer. You forget those all around because you become so centered on your own pain. And centered on that suffering. Because you've taken this option. You say, I didn't deserve this. I don't know why it's happened. And you spend the rest of your time saying, why? Why me here, Lord? What did I do? Why are you mad at me? Why don't you answer my prayer? And you can get so involved in your mind and so confused. That you become a burden to yourself and a burden to all around. And there's no joy. There's nothing but depression. And if you don't get a hold of this truth today, some of you could spin out. Into depression that cannot be cured outside of a miracle. Paul took the other option. And that is to say, it's not a matter of, the question is not why, but how I'm going to react to it. How I'm going to react to this circumstance that has come into my life. God has allowed this. But the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. I'm in God's will. I'm going to make this count. I'm going to let this preach to others. By the way I react, I'm going to become a testimony. And Paul writing to the Philippian church, he says, don't worry about me. He said, I want you to know, yes, I'm in chains. I want you to know, yes, I'm suffering. But I want you to know something. The gospel is being preached through my suffering. That with all boldness as always, so now also. So now while I'm in chains, now while I'm in circumstances above my control. You may think I've lost my ministry, Paul is saying. You may think that I don't have anything to do for Christ anymore. You may think that my hands are tied, that I'm a hopeless case. He said, no. Just as sure as I've been preaching to churches and raising and building up churches. So even now also, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be life or by death. He said, I'm going to take advantage of my present situation. Now when I talk about turning your tomorrows over to the Lord. And taking this option of saying, I want this to be a testimony. I want this to be a ministry. Paul said, this has become a matter of rejoicing to me. My afflictions have become a cause of rejoicing. He's not going around saying, whoa, thank you Jesus for these chains. He's not going around saying, I'm so happy I'm eating rice three times a day. He's not doing that. No, no, I believe that he's human. And I think many times during the days that, oh God, deliver me from this bondage. I believe if he's not thinking like I'm thinking, then he can't help me. Because he's human. And many times he had to pray through the day, oh God, give me grace to get through this next day. Because every visitor is being monitored. Everything he says is being monitored. And those men are within your shot, they hear it. And someone was snickering, no doubt. Crazy preacher. But Paul writes and he says, don't, what he's saying is, don't, you don't have to pity me. You don't have to say poor Paul. Because he said, I want to tell you something. These guards that are guarding me, these very chains. He said, they're going back, they go back to their barracks. What he said, everybody's talking about my gospel that I preach. And he's inferring, well, they go to the barracks and they talk about this man that they're chained to. And they're repeating, Paul said, some of them repeating it just to mock him, so to speak. They're not preaching it honestly, but they're repeating what Paul said. And then they're going home to their families and they're telling their families and their friends. And Paul said, I'm just sitting here praising God. I'm in affliction. But as always, I would that you should know and understand, brethren, Philippians 1, 12, that the things which have happened to me have turned out rather to further the gospel. Now think of it, these things that are happening to me. This, it looks like such a tragedy. This that I'm going through in my life. I could think about it and be depressed. But he said, it's turning out. God's turning it around and it's furthering the gospel. Because people know what I'm going through. They know what they would do in that case. They know that most of them would cave in and they'd complain and they would murmur and they would cry and everybody would be trying to pity them. But Paul said, no, I'm not reacting that way. My countenance, he's not going around just putting on a false smile. Paul is not murmuring. He's not complaining. Folks, let me tell you something about when we ask why. When it's tragic, God understands. He's not a meanie. Jesus even said, Father, why? The first impulse is yes. And the Lord is patient with that. What I'm talking about, he's made provision so that those what is and those why's can be answered and solved by his word. So we have to go around always asking why. You have to bypass that. You have to get past that where you say, I want not a false smile, but I want a genuine word from the Lord that I don't have to question why this has happened to me. You see, two weeks before my 12-year-old granddaughter, our 12-year-old granddaughter Tiffany died of cancer, the Lord came to me. I stood in his pulpit once and even tried to warn family and others that she was going home because I'd had a moment with Tiffany and she said, Grandpa, Jesus told me I'm coming home. And I don't want to suffer like this. I want to be with Jesus. And the Holy Spirit told me, you put her in my hands and you trust me with her, that I will never do anything that's contrary to my will. And if I take her, and I'm going to take her because there's something you don't know about the future and I have to do it this way. Will you trust me as a tender, loving, heavenly father that if I take, I'm going to give you the grace to go through it. I'm going to give you peace and I'll give it for your whole family. And my wife and two daughters have a little chain around the neck with a picture of Tiffany. And it's furthering the gospel everywhere they go in every store. Who's that? And then Gwen tells a story. Debbie tells a story. Bonnie tells a story. And there's one testimony after another. Folks, I'm trying to say something maybe very weakly, may not be coming across like I want it to, but God is faithful. In our time of suffering, in time of a pain, and God is looking at us, how we react to that. What is going to be our relaxation? How long do we go sulking? How long do we keep on pouting? How long do we keep questioning the faithfulness of God? Oh, but if you were in my shoes, Pastor Dave, if you only knew what I'm going through. Well, everybody can say that. I can say that. That doesn't answer anything. And Paul the apostle says, no, the issue now is how I react. Paul wrote another word to the Philippians in 4.4. Rejoice in the Lord always. And again, I say rejoice. He had not resigned just to the will of God and said, well, this is what has been served out to me. I was in the hospital visiting a rather wealthy man from the city, and he was dying of cancer in a hospital here, and he was Jewish. And a friend of mine, I went in to just to console him, and I said, may I pray for you? I said a few things to him, and he said, look, Pastor, these are the cards that have been dealt to me. I just have to take it. These are the cards that have been dealt to me. No, folks, Paul the apostle didn't resign to this. Well, this is the card. This is the life that God has handed to me. He didn't resign. He was not ignorant of the future. He was not just giving in. No, he said this. This has to be not only give us tomorrow, but believe that you can rejoice. He's saying to the church, rejoice now. And again, I say, he so infers it and so wants it. He says, again and again, I ask you to rejoice. The testimony, it doesn't mean that you don't have times that you cry, it doesn't mean that there are times that you just wonder if you can make it another day, but it's something that says, Lord, my life is in your hands. I don't have to do something great for you. I just have to trust you. I just have to give my life over to you in my future and believe that you will do what is best for me. Paul the apostle says, I am set for the defense of the gospel. Christ is being preached through my affliction. Therefore, I rejoice, yay, and I will rejoice. I'm going to read it to you again. I am set for the defense of the gospel. Christ is being preached through my affliction. In other words, he says, I'm going to make sure that the gospel is validated. I want to make sure that I don't despise or disgrace the word of God, preaching to others that God can give me grace through any situation, preaching and telling others about the glory of Jesus Christ and how he can take you through storms and floods and fiery furnaces and lion's dens, the message that we preach to the world. And Paul said, I am set. This is going to be my defense of the faithfulness of my Christ. The whole world is going to know, and everybody that knows me, that the gospel I preach takes me through my hard times. I'm set for the defense of the gospel. Christ is being preached. I'm going to ask you the question, is Christ being preached through your reaction now to what you're going through? What do your relatives and what do your friends see and what do they hear? Is it panic? Is it questioning of the faithfulness of God? Is it the why me, what if? You've said it, pass on. Is Christ being preached to people who know you, that you're a Christian, and they know you're going through something that is serious. They know that you're going through a deep trial, and they're looking for the reaction. The whole world is looking. Brother Sam, one of our elders sitting on the platform here, told me one day, he said, Pastor, I watch your life, how you respond, how you react to your hard times. But you see, I watch Sam. Sam has been a testimony to me. Sam, he's never been in this pulpit. He has no license to preach. He's one of our dear elders. But he's had years of pain. Doctors can't help him. He gets most times two hours sleep at night. And he is in pain now. He's in constant raging pain. But he spent, he's the first Sunday, I've seen him up here in a long time. He's sitting here on the end. He's downstairs underneath leading prayer services, praying for the pastors while they preach. And he's a testimony to everybody who knows his life. He's not up quoting scriptures. He's not giving sermons. But his life is preaching Christ. I ask you again, I don't know what you're going through. I don't know what you brought into the service this morning. But is your reaction preaching Christ and who he is? Otherwise, all that you say, all that you preach, all your testimonies, all of your teaching, everything, all of our preaching, it's in vain. Because I am not validating it by my reaction to my suffering. I'm going to wrap this up. Paul speaks of the day when he's going to stand before the Lord. Philippians 2.10, holding forth the word of the life, word of life, holding forth the word of life. That I may rejoice in the day of Christ. That I've not run in vain, neither labored in vain. He said, let me tell you why I'm reacting like I do. Because Paul is picturing the day when he stands before Christ. And Paul taught that we're going to have our eyes open. We're going to have a revelation. We're going to know who Christ is. And Paul is picturing himself before the presence of the Lord on that day. Paul said on that day of Christ. He said, let me tell you why I'm holding forth the word. Let me tell you why I'm making my reaction something that preaches Christ. Because he said, one day I'm going to stand before him and he's going to open our eyes and I'm going to be there. He's going to show us his glory. He's going to show all the guardian angels, the warrior angels that encamp around about them. That from the very beginning, those angels have been there, always available. We're going to have a revelation. We're going to see them face to face. He's going to show there's going to be a revelation. We're going to see what they did and how available they were and the work that they did in camping around God's people. And then he's going to reveal the Holy Spirit's ministry to us. How he was always there and his power and his majesty. And then he's going to show us the Father. And we're going to see the majesty of Almighty God, creator of all things, the great I am, the majesty of God. And Paul said, when I stand before Christ, I don't want to be standing there saying this was all available. I was blind and I missed it. Paul said, no, I want to stand there rejoicing, knowing that I didn't waste my time in vain worry. He said, I'm holding forth. I'm holding the gospel. I'm letting Jesus being preached to by my countenance, by my not murmuring, by not complaining. He covers it all in Philippians. He said, don't murmur, don't complain. Let your affliction be the message of Christ faithfulness. I'm preaching to myself this morning. I have never needed a message like this more than I do now. And I thank God I'm getting it. I'm hearing it because I've spent enough time worrying about the future by God's grace. And I'm going to need a lot of grace to keep this. Paul said, I've not yet apprehended, but I know where I'm headed and I know the answer now. Glory be to God. I wrote something down here before I close. Will you stand for just a moment? You want to know what your future is going to hold you, bring to you? Paul the apostle says, one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, I'm reaching forth now to those things which are before. He said, I know all about tomorrow. I don't have any details, but I know God. I know I have a heavenly father and I'm going to rejoice because he cares. I rejoice because he keeps his word, because all things are going to work together for my good, according to his purpose, because he's with me, because he said he'd never forsake me. His eyes are on me because his thoughts toward me are good. Because he said his promises never failed. He's made me a promise. He's going to keep his promise. I'm not afraid. Raise your hands and give him praise. Hallelujah. God, you're so good. You said my thoughts for your future are nothing but good. I have good thoughts concerning you. He said, if I could just open up the veil and show you what is coming, the glory that awaits you, the beauty of Christ set before you, and eternity in the arms of Jesus, grace sufficient for the evil of the day. He said, if you could just believe that, that's righteousness. That's how to live. That's how you please me, by just trusting my promises. And I'll see you through. I'll guide you. So just come into my rest now. I'm speaking to some within the sound of my voice. You need this so badly. You need it so much today. There's somebody coming, you're visiting today, and you just walked in here and God knew what was in your heart. He knew the pain. And he just trying to get through to you and say, look, lay down your worry, lay down your fear, and your anticipation. And 99% of what we fear about the future never happens anyhow. And it's all wasted, wasted worry, wasted fears. So just lay it on Jesus. If you don't know Christ as Lord in your life, in the annex overflow rooms in here, in the main auditorium and balcony, or if you have drifted away from that first love you had for Christ, I invite you to get out of your seat, walk down this aisle and stand here and make a commitment. Holy Spirit is faithful. He knows when to speak to you and how to speak lovingly. And this is a loving invitation from Jesus. Also, for those who have been almost in a state of panic, you have been so afraid. There's a spirit of fear that has come upon you because of circumstances that you're in right now. I invite you to come and bring that to Christ. Bring that to the foot of the cross and we'll believe. I'm going to pray for you and believe God for a miracle. Up on the balcony, go to the stairs on either side and come down and down the aisle. And here on the main floor, just step out and come forward and we'll pray for you. Don't sign anything. We're not going to say anything foolish or put you to shame. We're here to pray for you, minister to your need. Up in the balcony, go to the other side. And in the annex, please just go and stand between the screens. So you won't block the screen. And I'll pray for you. Our prayers will certainly reach into the annex. God bless you. Come as you're listening. You can still come while I'm speaking. Holy Spirit's laid something in my heart. I want you to listen very closely, not just for those who came forward, but those in the annex, every one of the sound of my voice. There are some of you may have to take your plans that you've made back to the Lord or to the Lord. You have made your plans without acknowledging Him. And I'm going to say it just as I hear from the Lord, it could be very disappointing and even dangerous. If you make those moves that you planned just because you think it's the way and you've not talked to the Lord about it, tomorrow could be trouble. The next day, next week, whatever. The Lord's faithful when you honestly said, in all your ways, acknowledge the Lord and He will direct your path. And never take anything away from you that is good for you or that's necessary for you. He knows what you need. But some of you need to just halt your plans and just say, God, I'm willing to cancel my plans if you raise a red flag. I'm ready to cancel. I'm ready to obey you. I'm speaking to somebody. I'm speaking to more than one I know. I'm sure of it. God is saying, wait a minute. That's your plan. That's your plan. And if you want my blessing, you have to sit and listen to me. I'll give you my heart, but take quality time. Come into the secret place and just lay all your plans and say, well, I'm willing. I'm willing to just obey any. When you hear the word of the Lord and He speaks a plan or a step, the secret to it of it, it grows on you. It'll grow. That which is of God will grow. The Holy Spirit will reinforce it, completely reinforce it. He'll just keep reinforcing it, reinforcing it. If it's not God's plan, He's gonna put an uneasiness in you. That disturbance, it's God just shaking things up. I just had to add that. Now, all of the rest of you, all of you that have come forward now, some of you are coming back to your first love. And some of you may be here for the first time. I would like everyone that came forward to pray this with me, please. Lord Jesus, I have heard your call this morning. And I believe that the Spirit of the Lord is working in my heart. Forgive me and cleanse me. Have all that is unlike you, Jesus. I give you my confidence that you hear my cry and you hear my prayer. And I do repent of doing things my way. I want to do things your way. Now, let me pray. Heavenly Father, only the Holy Spirit can cause us to remember what we heard today. It's the same for me, Lord. Unless you imprint this truth in my heart, I can't retain it. I won't remember it tomorrow in its power and its authority. So you come right now and you stamp it on our minds and on our hearts and say, trust God. Believe now in that this crisis, let this time of suffering, this time of pain be turned around now as I just give all my tomorrows into your trust. Lord, I'm going to trust you with the future. And I know whatever comes, you'll give me the strength and the grace to endure it. You said you'd give us the endurance to endure it and come through victorious. And so we'll be able to say one day, God was faithful. God did what was right. God did not fail me. Hallelujah. Now, come Holy Spirit to the whole people, to the whole audience, to everyone that's hearing me, come now with a spirit of faith and joy that God has everything under control. God has everything under control. Beloved, nothing is out of control. Your life is not out of control if you love Jesus. I want you to repeat it with me. God has everything under control. Louder. God has everything under control. Do you believe that? That's what we're preaching about. Glory to God.
