Breakthrough - Week 2 | Coastal Church

``the good news is God loves you so much that no matter where you've come from or what you've done, he loves you so much that he sent his son to die for your sins so that you could have peace. He's not like, hey, would you get your crap together and then we can hang out. No. He actually we like to say, Jesus doesn't just love us out of hell. He loves the hell out of us. And that's that's the blessing of walking with him. And so for that reason, we live surrendered to him, the way, the truth, and the life. [00:34:24] (37 seconds)  #JesusLovesYouAlways

Before we can possibly interact with the details. God needs you to know that you are precious, that you are valuable before before you can perform well. You are valuable as you are. Here's Daniel shaking, tired, and God said God sends the angel to tell him he is God calls you precious, and you are so precious. God sent his son to die for you.

So Daniel's praying and fasting. He's grieving. Heaven is quiet. No breakthrough. He's praying, fasting, doing all the things and he doesn't see God move. Don't let this be the stopping point of your faith. I remember that feeling when I went back to check the tracking history, and I saw that my complaint had been lodged. I have been heard. You can be certain when you pray to God. Even if you're complaining, he hears you. [00:53:41] (49 seconds)  #GodHearsYouAlways

He can he's happy for you to come to church every week and not do anything to transform the world with the power of Jesus. But the second you start saying, I'm gonna believe God for something, hell will fight you. Because when you see him come through, even with some of these little things, and they're never little. But even with some of these things that are littler, when you see God come through, you're gonna believe for bigger, and you will become a threat to the devil.

In other words, and I believe that it's not just the children that get angels, it's all of us. That there are angels fighting on your behalf just as we see here as this angel pulls back the veil to say, Daniel, when you thought God wasn't doing anything, here's what was happening in the spiritual realm. I want you to know, keep persistent faith because hell's fighting you. [01:03:16] (26 seconds)  #AngelsFightForYou

I love that God doesn't say, why don't you complete the twenty one days of fast and then I'll then I'll listen. I love that he also, through this angel, because angels are messengers. That's what the word actually means, messengers from God. They can only speak what God's told them to speak. That he goes straight to making sure Daniel knows his value before giving an explanation of what's going on. [01:04:49] (28 seconds)  #GodValuesYouFirst

And so starting a relationship with God is super simple. I'm gonna explain that to ZZ as the ABCs. We a admit that we've sinned. We can't keep up with God's standard. We b, we believe that Jesus is our solution. There's no one else that can fix us. And we see we commit to following Jesus and making God our boss. [01:11:48] (31 seconds)  #FaithABCs

So last week, we talked about this consistent faith. Consistent faith is not we're getting to persistent. But last week, consistent faith isn't something that can be built when the crisis comes. You build it daily by being consistent in your faith even when there isn't a crisis. You can't a nine one one Christ follower and have consistent faith. Now when the struggles come, we move from consistent faith to persistent faith. Because persistent faith is when resistance happens and challenges happen and you keep on believing. That's persistent faith. How do you get it? Through difficult scenarios, not giving up. [00:43:41] (51 seconds)  #ConsistentFaithDaily
