Living Faithfully in the Space Between | Part 2

``And at times what seems sudden to us is often scheduled in heaven for your life. Amen? Let me just give you a perspective of this on Ecclesiastes three. Once again, that word season speaks to a window of opportunity, not necessarily a rigid script. It means there are moments in life where God says, this is the kind of work I'm ready to do here. Will you walk with me? And you can see a miracle if you do. [00:28:24] (31 seconds)  #HeavenScheduledSeasons

and a miracle happened. A miracle happened. And what really? What changed? What was different? The season changed, that divine moment changed. Where at the time for seven months was thinking this is it. We're never gonna be able to build. But that season change in the natural and we responded to it in faith. That's what we did. And that means we have a choice. I'll get to that a moment. To everything there is a season. In other words, God is saying in your life, I will bring you into a season, a divine moment where if you step out in faith, a miracle will happen. [00:27:13] (37 seconds)  #StepOutForMiracles

The word season is the Hebrew word zema and it means, watch this, a fixed designated moment on God's calendar. A fixed designated moment on God's calendar. It means an appointed time. It's not something that's random. It's not chaotic. It it's not accidental. Let me just say it this way to personalize it. It means your life [00:21:46] (29 seconds)  #AppointedSeason

The anchor of our hope is this, that the same Jesus who walked out of the grave is still alive and he is reigning today. God is not finished with your story. He's not finished with the story of church for the harvest. No. I believe it's beginning, A whole new season entering in. And when the season changes, and it will, the question is, may he find us standing, trusting, believing, and ready in that holy moment? [00:35:36] (31 seconds)  #JesusOurAnchor

So this season may not make sense to you, but the savior, king Jesus is still on the throne and he's still ruling and reigning. And so in other words, what do we do in this season? He's asking us to remain faithful. What does that mean? That means we are continuing to stand when it's unpopular. To love people when it's difficult. To pray and continue to pray when it feels unseen. To live holy when compromise is celebrated. To speak truth, but to speak it in love. [00:34:58] (38 seconds)  #FaithfulInTheSeason

And that's why, I believe so much of the pressure right now, it's not just external what's happening but it's spiritual. There's something spiritually going on and I believe once again we're living a time this time of what I call the space between between promise and fulfillment. Be be between pain and restoration, between what is broken and what God is making new. That may be something new for you but God is making something new. We'll get into that more next week.

But let me just say this, the foundation of any health and healthy nation is not politics, it's righteousness. You know, politics are important. They matter. And I know people have very I mean, if you ask for opinions, you're gonna get 150 opinions or, you know, the the people have opinions on things and and that, you know, that's fine. But but but the foundation really for any healthy nation is not the politics but it's righteousness. [00:06:51] (31 seconds)  #RighteousnessNotPolitics

And so let me just say this, those pressures they don't disappear, they pile up, they accumulate, they amass. But this verse says in the end it is a righteousness. Can we shout righteousness? We love righteousness. Not politics, not force, not fear. That's what exalts a nation. Amen. That means right standing with God. [00:10:04] (27 seconds)  #RighteousnessEndures
