Trusting God's Power and Provision in Every Challenge

1) "And so we need to be people, Christians, who pray. What kind of prayer? When problems and pressure comes into our lives, we should pray, God, open our eyes to see that you are greater than our problems. And then from that point, we can pray into our problems and they will be broken. There's more for us than against us. God is bigger than the enemy. When we bring our problems to God in prayer, he answers. He deals with our problems in better ways than we can imagine." [01:29] (40 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2) "And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, somebody greater than the soldiers, somebody greater than the prison, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him saying, get up quickly. And the chains fell off his head. So in this story, the church is praying for Peter and he's in prison, he's in trouble, and yet they're praying and suddenly an angel, the power of God, the power of God, the power of God, the power of God, the power of God, the power of God comes to rescue him. And this angel, all he does is breaks the chains, opens the doors, and Peter walks out freely." [04:49] (40 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3) "And when Peter obeys him, he goes out. And then suddenly by the miracle of God, he catches a lot of fish. A lot of fish that the nets, it says, they were breaking. They were breaking. And right after this story, there's a continuation where it says that Peter, after seeing this miracle, he repented. He repented and said, God, I want to follow you. Forgive my sins. I will follow after you. But it is because of a miracle that he experienced firsthand. He believed in Jesus." [07:01] (43 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4) "And when Jesus walks on water, he sees the boat. And the disciples, they're afraid. They think, oh, it's a ghost. It's a ghost that's coming towards us. And yet, when Jesus started speaking to them, Peter said, Lord, Jesus, if it's you, really you, tell me to come out on water towards you. That takes a lot of faith to say, hey, can I walk on water with you? And yet, Jesus says. Come, come. And what does it say? Peter got down out of the boat. He actually starts walking on water. So imagine that you experience the God of the universe who's controlling walking on water. You are greater than science, scientific things, power of science, right? Gravity. You're greater than that, and you can walk on water." [09:02] (59 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5) "And in the Bible, later on, it says that after they received the Holy Spirit, Peter, the same Peter, he would walk, and his shadow would touch sick people, and the shadow would heal people just by touching people. Isn't that amazing? Peter himself would pray for people, and they would be resurrected from death. You can read about that in the book of Acts."

6) "And a lot of times in our lives, before we even speak a word of prayer, Jesus already knows you inside and out. He knows every issue, every problem that you have. He knows he is God. Jesus knows every struggle you've had in the past as a child, as a baby, with your parents, with your families. He knows every trouble you went through. He knows them deep inside of you. And he knows, and yet, we need to believe he can heal all our problems." [13:51] (37 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


7) "All your anxieties. All your worries and all your concerns once and for all on Jesus. How many of you here have worries? How many of you here have anxieties, concerns? Once and for all, cast it all on Jesus Christ. Give it into the hands of God. Stop worrying. Stop being anxious. Stop being concerned about these things. Give it all into the hands of Jesus. The almighty God who holds the whole. The whole universe together. He will take care of you. Why? Because you are his son. You are his daughter. He loves you. He cares for you. That is why we can do this. Not because of something we've done. No. Because you belong to him." [16:25] (47 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


8) "And today. My encouragement to us. To the church is this. Let us be like Peter. Let us leave ourselves. Our own things. Desires. Comfort. For the sake of the kingdom of God. To follow Jesus. And when we do that. That we have. Amen. He will take care of us. Because he is our Lord. So today we want to pray. We want to pray that we will trust God. In every situation. Just like Peter. Even if you are in prison. Even if you didn't catch fish all night. You have no money to pay taxes. Whatever that might mean. Metaphorically. In your lives. That we will still trust God. And pray for revival." [20:23] (54 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
