#CatchDivineMoments
“You know, blindness is a terrible thing. I can only imagine how difficult it has to be to be able matriculate through life without physical sight. But how many of us know that one of life's greatest tragedies is not physical blindness, but it is rather missing the moment when God is moving. Every day, opportunities come and go. Doors open and close. Divine appointments pass by unnoticed. Why? Because people are distracted, discouraged, or have accepted their condition as their permanent reality.”

#DesperatePersistentFaith
“The truth is is that not everyone around Jesus wants you to touch Jesus. Not everyone who comes to church is coming to church to have an experience with Jesus. You some people just want and are just comfortable being spectators, just being in the crowd. But when you're broken, hallelujah to glory. When you're blind, when you're burdened, you gotta approach Jesus with desperate and persistent faith, hallelujah to glory. You see, desperate faith does not whisper for mercy. Desperate faith is is loud. Hallelujah. It's uncompromising. It takes a backseat to no one. Right. it doesn't you know, it doesn't let anything stop them.”

#HealingToDiscipleship
“``Hallelujah to glory. And see, Jesus says that Jesus had compassion on them, and he touched their eyes, and they immediately received their sight, and they followed him. I want you to notice that sequence because it's very important. They cried out. Jesus touched them and healed them, and then they immediately followed him. You see, healing didn't end in comfort. It led to commitment. Real miracles produce real disciples.”
53s
#PresenceOverPerfection
“The bible says that they were sitting by the roadside. They weren't in the temple. They weren't in the crowd. The bible tells us that they were on the margins. But in spite that, they were intentional about placing themselves where Jesus was traveling. You see, the truth is is you don't have to be perfect to be positioned. You just have to be present. Some blessings come simply because you showed up. Some miracles happen because you stay close to the road Jesus walks.”
51s
#GodsDelightInRighteous
“And it's really if you look at what is happening here, this drama unfolding, it's really God's belief in man that God God thinks man can love him just because man understands who God is and wants to spend eternity with God enough that they don't care about the things of this world. Even if all of us are not like that, God happens to think there are few of us like that. In fact, he said Job is my best man in the earth. Try him. My god in heaven. And Job's life was turned upside down all because God took such pleasure in the man's righteousness. Let that sit with you for a moment. Job's life was turned upside down because god took such pleasure in the man's life.”
59s
#SufferingNotPunishment
“Another lesson I learned from Job is that sometimes our sufferings are not because of our own choices. If you read the book of Job, and I'm just giving you a quick summary here, what happened behind the scenes between God and Job, amen, is very telling. What happens between this behind the scenes between God and your accuser is very telling. And if he could peel back the curtains for us once or twice and let us see, our lives would change forever. Some people's suffering can be the result of God's belief in them rather than God's displeasure in them. Jesus. Jesus. Two people catches that in this whole building. I said some people's suffering can be the result of God's belief in them rather than his displeasure with them.”
37s
#FaithThroughTrials
“Where are my suffering people at who've been through one thing after the other and after the other and sometimes ask god, why? Could it be that god has just taken such pleasure in you that he has said, Satan, you can throw your best. Come on. But I know they're gonna still pray. They're gonna still show up and worship me. They're gonna still pick up the phone and encourage other people because they know something deeper than just the goodness and the sweet times in life. They know the eternal God is their source.”
33s
#WorshipBeyondBlessings
“Here's what Satan is saying. You Job only loves you because you've been good to him. Take away all that you've given him, and he won't love you because the only reason why humans worship you is not because of who you are. It's not because they just love the idea of being connected to the eternal God who created them. They love you because you keep giving them stuff. But stop giving them stuff. In fact, take away what you've given them, and they'll curse you to your face. Can Satan say that about you and have it be true?”
58s
“But according to this text, if God has not given us a spirit of fear but gives us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, The more that we walk in love, the less fearful we are. The more that we are open to accessing the power of God, the less influence that fear has over our lives. More that we are self disciplined operating in that sound mind, we reduce the effects of fear. So I encourage you this morning to walk in love, access the power of God. The fact that you are saved, born again, means that the power is available to you.”
52s
“Too often, we're focusing on facts, and we're ignoring truth. It is the fact that you got the diagnosis, but the truth is that Jesus was wounded for your transgressions, and he was bruised for your iniquities, and the chastisement of his peace was upon you, and by his stripes, you are healed. fact is that you lost the job, but the truth is that my god shall supply all of my needs according to his riches and glory that are by Christ Jesus. Hallelujah. Glory to god. Stand on the word. Speak the word.”
