Mercy Kept Me | We Interrupt The Regularly Scheduled Program

Jeremiah acknowledges or he's acknowledging that the judgment was real. Yep. The consequences, real. But total destruction didn't happen. Why didn't total destruction happen? Because the covenant love restrained the wrath. See, that's some folk that was listening last sermon series. The covenant love of God restrained wrath. See, mercy doesn't deny consequences. It limits the destruction. [00:14:30] (50 seconds)  #MercyLimitsDestruction

I like what what Spurgeon said. He says, God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water or deprive the sun of its light or make space too narrow than diminish the great mercy of God. May I tell you something today? If you woke up this morning, mercy met you at the door. Lord, I feel like preaching. I feel my help coming on, Jennifer. If you woke up this morning, mercy met you at the door. [00:07:52] (31 seconds)  #MercyMetYou

God's compassion is instinctive. His compassion is protective. His compassion is sustaining like a mother's womb. It's how God built the womb. And guess what? It it isn't even dependent on the mother. You don't believe me? Okay. That's the reason why even before a mother knows that she's pregnant, the baby stays protected. That's mercy. Y'all ain't saying nothing to me in this place. That's Rahim. [00:20:51] (41 seconds)  #CompassionLikeAWomb

Now let's not get it twisted. He may discipline his children, but he never disowns his children. What you talking about, Willis? Look back down at your bible. Second Timothy two thirteen. Look at what it says. If we are faithless, he remains faithful for he cannot disown himself. You belong to him, and he belongs to you. I said you belong to him, and he belongs to you. God cannot disown himself. [00:29:51] (44 seconds)  #GodNeverDisowns

You got breath in your body. Can I remind you? He woke you up this morning. Can I tell you? He started you on your way. Can I tell you? He gave you the activities of your limbs, and the blood is still running warm to your veins. You got a reason. You got a responsibility to give God praise because it was his great mercy that kept you here, and you're still here. I know it's been bad. [00:12:02] (29 seconds)  #BreathIsMercy

God's mercy flows from his character. Mercy flows from him because of who he is. See, god don't wake up moody. There's no such thing as god waking up on the wrong side of the bed. God got God's attitude is not shifted by culture. God ain't mad because he went to bed watching CNN or Fox News and woke up with an attitude. God don't ghost his people. He's faithful.

Yeah. That's not luck. That was lamentations three in real time. That was the word of God in real time. I should have been consumed. Y'all ain't saying nothing. But the mercy of God interrupted things. And when you think about your own life, you should have been consumed too, but mercy Somebody shout mercy. Interrupted it. Point number two is listen to this. Mercy is not a one day event. It's a daily delivery. It's a daily delivery. [00:18:23] (43 seconds)  #MercyIsDaily

And god interrupted this regularly scheduled program. To bring us this message. It's a perspective shifting message. Here's the perspective. God didn't fail you. Mercy kept you. That if it had not been for the Lord on your side, it should have been worse. But god. [00:42:21] (47 seconds)  #GodDidntFailYou
