But hear me out. Some of you have walked into this room and you cannot see the summit of the next season of your life. You don't know how everything's gonna work out? You know how God's gonna restore what feels broken? Or maybe even this, you don't know how the next chapter will unfold, but the good news of this is you're not climbing alone. You have a God that's guiding you got God who's guiding you through the last season, who's gonna guide you to the next one. And if I could just be totally transparent, this is the message today. The God who brought you here will still carry you there. [00:34:15] (37 seconds)  #GodWillCarryYou Download clip

Physically, we run to the one that can help us, but, spiritually, we run away from the one that can heal us. Yeah. Right. You guys catching this? He says, return to me. Look what he says. Return to the Lord, and he will bandage your wounds. Good. The safest place, hear me out, the safest place for a wounded heart is still in the hands of the healer.

his father helped him. Step by step, holding the weight, carrying his strength to finish the race. The stadium erupted. You gotta watch the video. It erupted not because he won the race, because his father refused to leave his son alone on the track. Church, this picture is a not a picture of defeat. A father stepping on a track to carry something he cannot carry himself. You don't have to finish this race alone because I know this. The god that we're talking about that's here, who is still there through the hurt, is the same god that wants to have you come back to heal you so you can, what, press in what he has for you.

Derek has trained his whole life for this race, the 400 meter race. Years of discipline, years of early mornings, years of sacrifice, years of pushing his body beyond limits most people cannot understand. Everything in his life has been leading up to this moment on the Olympic Track. The gun fires. The race starts. The runners explode off the blocks, and Derek was running strong. But halfway through his race, something terrible happened. His hamstrings snapped. And in the video, you can actually see something in his leg, but it says this, the muscle tear. He collapsed on the track in pain. The stadium went silent. Years of preparation gone in one moment. Medical staff started running towards him. The race was over, but Derek did something no one expected. He got up on a broken hamstring, started to still run the race, not to win, not to place, but to finish.

There's a case of your life that God has been faithful to provide the evidence of his faithfulness in your life. Let me just say it this way. I I hope this makes sense. This is my faith file. Don't ever forget what the Lord has done. In this box, there's receipts. How many you guys have boxes of receipts at home? In this box, there's reports, stories, testimonies, moments that you have witnessed the hand of God in your life. [00:37:58] (42 seconds)  #MyFaithFile Download clip

As a matter of fact, the Bible says in James chapter four verse eight, if you, what, come close to God Yeah. He will come what? Close to you. That's his promise. Right? Healing happens when we return to him. Yeah. Yeah. That's why it says in Hosea, come. Let us return to the Lord. He has tore us to pieces so he could heal us. Notice the order first. Return first, healing follows. Oh, come on. Hear me out. We want healing first, and maybe I'll return back to God. And God's gracious. He could do that too. But the order normally follows, return to me, your father. [00:50:59] (38 seconds)  #ReturnThenHeal Download clip

You cannot be healed walking in the same direction that broke you. It means if the wound happened in distance, the healing happens in closeness. Amen? If the wound happen in in isolation, listen, it happens back in connection. If the wound happened by running away, it happens when you turn back away, come back to him and turn around. God heals you. You know, it's like a kid. You ever seen any parents in the house? Amen. You know, a kid falls down and gets hurt. Right? And, you know, when when they get hurt, they first run away and they just just crying because the pain scared them. Right? [00:51:47] (38 seconds)  #HealingInCloseness Download clip

The provision, the doors he'd done to open for you. Every time he showed up, when he you were not even faithful to him, but he was faithful to you. Right. Pull out the evidence every so often. Remind the devil of God's faithfulness in your life. Amen. If he did it before, he'd do it again. But here's the thing about faith. Faith is not blind. Faith is not imagination. Faith is the documentation of God's faithfulness. You have the evidence, hasn't come yet, but God's still doing it, and he's faithful to perform what his word says. That's faith.
