When Life Disappoints You.

Have you ever found yourself in a position where everything you planned fell apart? You had everything in order and organized accordingly, but one bad report or one bad phone call threw everything out of place. Unforeseen and unexpected, but it happened. Have you ever planned for the future but something so tragic occurred that threatened your previous plans? What you prepared for and what actually happened were two different scenarios. Have you ever shared beautiful wedding vows with the person of your dreams only to later find yourself at the point of divorce because the vows have not been upheld? The words sounded so good to your ears but the actions and promises never followed. Have you ever wondered if things would get better?

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, what do you do When Life Disappoints You? How do you handle the hurdles and obstacles, which come with life? Do you give up and surrender or do you stand still and declare the Word of God? Do you run and hide or do you rebuke and denounce every demonic assault? What do you do? The Bible declares in Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. You must understand just because life disappoints you does not mean the plan God has for your life now ends. Sometimes disappointments push you further into your destiny and purpose. If you never taste pain, hurt, betrayal or disappointment by man, you will never truly appreciate the love of God.

My brother, my sister, what do you do When Life Disappoints You? It is at that point you should seek the Lord for His instructions. Sometimes life disappoints us because we place our trust in things we thought we had under control. Beloved, God will never allow any person, any place or any thing to provide for you the way He desires to do so. The Bible declares in Proverbs 16:9 - A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Disappointment will always follow when we attempt to do things our own way and not surrender to the way of God. Disappointment is a feeling of dissatisfaction that results when your expectations are not realized. Do not allow disappointment to rob you of the purpose God has for you. Prayer for Today: Father, help me to overcome all disappointments I experience in life. No matter what happens, Your plan for my life is perfect. In the name of Jesus … Amen!

Scripture Reading for Today: Isaiah 55:8-11.

What God Can Do in Five Seconds

God can do more in five seconds than we can do in five hours or months or years. This is one reason the habit of prayer is wise. Sometimes we do not get the five second breakthrough because we do not ask. To be sure, God ordains to do many good things through hours or months or years of labor. Prayer is not meant to replace toil. For example, God wills that a chapter be read, or a meal prepared, or a friend visited in the space of hours not seconds. He wills that a house be built in months not hours. He wills that a child be reared in years not months. But there are breakthroughs which could come in seconds. They often take us hours or days or months if they come at all. I have in mind especially the breakthroughs of insight that open a world of life changing truth and practical wisdom. All of Us Have Blind Spots and Blind Moments Many obstacles to joy and fruitfulness are owing to the fact that we cannot see reality the way it is. We cannot see the meaning of a biblical

Is premarital sex wrong?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY S ome cultures tolerate sexual activity between consenting unmarried adult individuals. In some areas it is viewed as acceptable for unmarried adolescents to engage in some forms of sexual intimacy. WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS The Bible uses the word “fornication” for some forms of sexual activity outside marriage. God expects his worshippers to “abstain from fornication.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3) Fornication is listed as a serious sin, as are adultery, spiritism, drunkenness, idolatry, murder, and thievery. —1 Corinthians 6:9, 10;Revelation 21:8. WHY IT MATTERS For one thing, the Bible warns that “God will judge fornicators.” (Hebrews 13:4) More important, by obeying God’s laws about sexual morality, we prove our love for Jehovah God. (1 John 5:3) He in turn blesses those who observe his commandments. —Isaiah 48:18. Is it immoral for unmarried people to engage in any form of sexual intimacy? “Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greedines

The Power of Spiritual Agreement or Oneness

Spiritual agreement is powerful because it combines the prayer power of individuals into a new spiritual entity that is "greater than the sum of the parts". This is first encountered (in a negative way) at the building of the Tower of Babel: Genesis 11:6 And Jehovah said, Behold! The people is one and they all have one language. And this they begin to do. And now nothing which they have imagined to do will be restrained from them. The "group mind" focuses the energy of the individuals onto a purpose, just like sunlight is focused by a magnifying glass and can burn paper or wood. These highly focused prayers and spiritual intents can bring about major spiritual transformations. Thus Jesus wants His Church to be united and powerful. Unity Is A Sign Of Maturity And Leads To Great Spiritual Power Ephesians 4:3-13 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ….(11) And truly He gave some to be apostles, and some to be prophets, and some to
