Do you see that God himself is more than enough for you? He's not just enough. God is more than enough for you. You got a problem in your home? He is more than enough for you. You got a sickness? He's more than enough for you. Having trouble paying the bills, he is more than enough for you. You you can't find a wife, you want a girlfriend, you're looking for somebody to share your life with, can I tell you something? He is more than enough for you. Don't take it into your hands. Don't despise him. Don't you fail the grace of God. Oh my. If you have, please repent. Please come back to him. Oh, you're it's not gonna turn out well. You will destroy yourself. But the Lord wants to bring you to an expected end. He is so good. Will you make that decision tonight? [01:11:41] (57 seconds)  #GodIsMoreThanEnough Download clip

Have you ever thought about that before? You know, we talked about give glory to God, give glory to God, but folks, we're not surrendered. We got noise in our soul. We're bitter. We're angry. We're anxious. We're fearful. And then with our mouth, we say, oh, glory to God. Are you giving him glory? The only way to give him glory is to have Christ work in you, in your heart, and through you. The way you glorify God is by manifesting the life of Christ through your life. And you don't do that by murmuring, complaining, bitter, angry, all those things that's causing you those contentions in your heart, and then you talk, oh, give glory to God. Just lip service.

In the saved state with noise in your soul, it's because you're not repenting. Amen? You got anger in your heart. You're bitter at what people have done to you. People are talking behind your back. You're not getting what you want. You're having a fit like a like a kid in a supermarket wanting to buy that new toy and dad won't get it for him, stomping your feet. Amen. I want everybody to know how displeased I am that you don't give me what I want. Well, there is your problem. Your life isn't about what you want. Your life is about what he wants through you. And if you we can get that through our minds and our hearts, if we can get that through our thinking, I'm gonna tell you something, your life will change.

See, if you give up your birthright, you give up your blessing. That's all there's to it. You give up the grace to do the right thing. You give up the blessing for everything that's gonna happen after that. So he goes to his dad and his dad is gonna bless him and instead he blesses Jacob and then he comes in, oh, I'm ready for my blessing. Oh, I just gave you your blessing. That wasn't me. Oh, what can I do now? What can I So Isaac is saying, Esau, I can't change my mind? You know what you think? You think somehow God's gonna change his mind about blessing you with that bitterness in your heart. You think when you have anger and the noise going on in your soul, some of, oh God would just bless me. No, he won't. He can't. [00:33:58] (65 seconds)  #BitternessCostsBlessing Download clip

And so you cannot glorify God in your unbelief. They knew God but I'm not glorifying God by believing him and following him. And you know you believe him by following him. If you're not following him, you don't believe him. If you're not acting on it, you don't believe it. You say you believe it, but you don't. Amen. And that's the deceptive part here when you say that you're doing it, but you don't. And that's why the Bible says in first John chapter one, if we say we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth.

Folks, you you cannot function with a soul with lies in it. You cannot hold on to lies and be happy and have peace and and and and, you know, contentment. You're not gonna have it. So you need to renounce. What is renouncing? What's announcing? Announcing is making a proclamation towards. What's renouncing? Taking it back. Yeah. Amen. Taking it back. Say, Lord, I take back all the garbage I've said. I take back all the thoughts that I've been thinking. I take it back and I put it under your blood. Yeah. Amen. That's the only way you're gonna get clear. [00:12:40] (40 seconds)  #RenounceAndRepent Download clip

Do you think about who he is and what he is and what he's doing? Are you meditating on those truths and saying, wow. My God is so awesome and great. My God is so holy. Does it not make you feel so small in his presence? Hey, folks. When's the last time you got a real view of God? AW Tozer says the biggest problem within our churches today is the fact that they have a very small view of God and therefore their religion has very small impact. The bible says in first Timothy four fifteen, meditate upon these sayings. Give thyself wholly to them that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine. Continue in them for in doing this, thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. Wow. [00:43:45] (56 seconds)  #ExpandYourViewOfGod Download clip

let's see here. The glory of God. I wanna talk about the glory of God. Letter a under this. Unbelief robs God of his glory. And this is what you have to think. See see, our thing is, well, why doesn't God help me? No. No. Don't think about you because, well, this isn't about you. This is about him. When you got problems in your life, it's not about you. It's about what you're stealing from him. Amen? And when you put it in that respect, it's a whole lot less where you think about yourself all the time. Amen?
