You Are Chosen: Positioned For Such A Time

But what about when the doctor gives you a diagnosis? Is he still your foundation? What happens when that relationship isn't working the way you purposed it? Is he still your foundation? It's a big question. Is is he your foundation? But the answer is, who knows? He knows. He's got it. Gonna take care of that circumstance. He's got your kids. The finances are gonna be okay. He's been here since the beginning of time. He's gonna take care of it. [01:33:00] (41 seconds)  #HesGotYou

Oh, we should pray and fast, but sometimes, let's face it, we get focused on God, we need an answer. God, we need help. And sometimes, even in the way we go about things, our delays are really our fears. But what I love about God, because he positioned you and because he is the premise of all our faith, then the the truth is that God is not surprised by our fear. And he's not surprised when it doesn't go according to our time because his time is perfect. [01:22:34] (34 seconds)  #GodsTiming

Right. So even when we're full of fear and we delay, that doesn't mean it's denial. It just means it's delay. God is up to something. God is making something happen in your situation. God is working, and it feels like it's getting further away. But, actually, you're getting close to the breakthrough that God always purposed for your life. So don't allow fear to fashion you and take you away from what God has for you. [01:23:07] (23 seconds)  #FearWontDefineMe

See, the question of position being positioned, timing. You say, but I miss the timing and you have been so consumed with who I am rather than whose I am that I'm worried about my title and my position that I've missed it. No. No. No. Esther kept delaying because of fear, but she didn't miss it. God still used her. We must remind ourself. Who knew where you'd be at right now? The answer is, he knew. He's got this.

Church, we are in the world, not of the world, so we've got to start to talk differently. Our God is in control. And whether you feel that for the next ten years, your kids are at school that you're supposed to be a parent and that's your primary objective, that's good if that's what God's positioned you to be. We're all parents. Don't hear me wrong. But if that means you're not gonna take on the employment to the same degree, that's okay. Stop living according to the pattern of this world. Live according to the foundation of who we are. The big question is he's in control. He purposed us, so let's live according to his purpose, not what everybody else tells us to do.

Because the simple answer is at every challenge that you have is, who knows? He does. He's got you. So you're not right with Jesus today. You're not right. And in a right relationship with him, the bridge between knowing and not knowing our God. He sent his son Jesus to die upon a cross and whoever would believe in him, the bible says will not perish but have everlasting life. Not just talking about in this modern age, but in the in the one to come. He's got a plan, a purpose for your life, but you can't know it till you know him.

So the premise of our faith, so you are chosen. You are chosen. That each one of us has a unique purpose. But how can you discover that purpose unless you make a decision to choose? Who knew you? He knows you. You. Who knew your circumstances? He knows. But if you don't know him, you can't know the outcome of your circumstance. We are designed to have a loving living relationship with Jesus.

This timing when you're on this side is Mordecai sackcloth and asses weeping and mourning is hard. You're thinking, god, what are you doing? But make no mistake. God is making a way where there is no way over your circumstance. God is up to something. You might not feel it. You might not see it, but he is faithful. I've seen him throughout the ages come over come through over and over again, so stick with him. He's the foundation of your faith. He knew you before the beginning of time. He's gonna come through in your circumstance. [01:29:02] (30 seconds)  #GodMakesAWay
