00:01 Welcome back.
00:02 I don't know what pain, 00:04 what sorrow you have experienced in your life. 00:06 It might be totally different 00:08 than we Greg and I dealt with those years ago 00:11 with our infertility. 00:12 It might be death or divorce sort of pain 00:16 or betrayal or whatever it is. 00:20 The Lord Jesus says, "I want to bring you healing. 00:23 I want to pour my healing grace 00:26 into your heart and into your life. 00:28 I want to make you whole again, 00:30 to bring you peace and even joy." 00:33 This week, our application for this week, 00:36 first of all is to go God and ask him to search you. 00:40 Psalm 139, it's one of my favorite scriptures 00:43 and I claim it over my life, almost every day. 00:47 Psalm 139:24 and 24, it says, 00:50 "Search me, O God, and know my heart: 00:54 try me, and know my thoughts: 00:56 And see if there is any wickedness inside, 00:59 and lead me in the way everlasting." 01:03 Ask God is there is any sorrow in my life, 01:06 is there sorrow from choice. 01:08 Am I not responding to the sorrow 01:11 in my life in your way? 01:13 Am I allowing Satan to take that sorrow 01:18 and to push me from Jesus? 01:21 If that's the case, do you want to be changed? 01:24 Do you want to be made different? 01:27 Do you want to have a close walk with Jesus yet again? 01:31 If so, He can do that. 01:33 He wants it even more than we could ever desire it. 01:39 Next week, the next two programs actually, 01:41 we're gonna specifically talk about 01:44 the keys and the steps 01:45 that God led me on in my own journey to experiencing peace 01:51 and even joy again after that loss. 01:53 And I know that the steps are biblical, 01:56 they're going to work for you too. 01:58 And whatever your situation is and whatever your case is. 02:02 So in addition to this week going before God 02:05 and asking Him to search you 02:06 and show you what sorrow is in your life 02:09 and where maybe you're letting that sorrow push you from God. 02:12 In addition to that, encourage somebody else this week. 02:17 We don't feel like doing that 02:18 when we're in a depressed and sad state, 02:20 but that can be key to recovery. 02:23 Maybe you have a sick friend and you can pick wild flowers 02:27 and bring them to your friend. 02:29 Maybe you could offer a baby sit for a busy mom. 02:32 Maybe you can visit a shounen and just sit and listen 02:36 as they tell you stories about their past. 02:39 Whatever it is, pick three specific things this week 02:43 that you can do to encourage someone out. 02:47 Our closing scripture is Romans 15:13. 02:51 "Now may the God of hope 02:53 fill you with all joy and peace in believing, 02:56 that you may abound in hope 02:58 by the power of the Holy Spirit." |
