YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE

Team:

Do you ever feel Uncertain about the Future?

How would you feel if you knew for sure everything was going to turn out the way it is supposed to?

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE!

All of us have Feelings of Uncertainty. How do we Manage our Uncertainty?

"To take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr 

Dr. King says, Just Go! One step at a time!

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! KEEP MOVING!

Friends, what are the things that can trip us up and cause us to STOP? Fear, Guilt, Resentment, Anger, Bitterness ect.
YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! KEEP MOVING!

The enemy likes to whisper in your ear and turn your Negative Uncertain Motor of Uncertainty into Overdrive.

"You don't deserve to be positive! You don't deserve to have a Bright Future?"

"If God loved you He wouldn't let this happen to you!"

"Here, take a Drink! Here, take a Hit! Here's a woman or man that respects you! It's only this one time! No one will Find Out!"

"Hang out and sit here with me!"

The Enemy is out to destroy you with Anxiety and Uncertainty! The enemy is out to give you a false since of Certainty in a Bottle, Weed, Affair. Ect..

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! KEEP MOVING!

Does the above describe you? Maybe not but maybe you feel Angry and Bitter because life has dealt you a bad hand?

All of this Strife day after day and year after year will take its toll on you and your family.

All of this leads to Worry, Anger Resentment, Bitterness ect.. When this happens we get Stagnant and Anxious. We get Uncertain about the Future and Do Nothing. WE GET STAGNANT!

This is where the enemy has a lot of Christians. What happens to water that doesn't move? It gets algae and polluted and eventually carries diseases.

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! KEEP MOVING!

When we are not Moving and Uncertain we are no different. When we say we are "deciding" what to do our mind gets Polluted with Diseases of all the above. Then we try to "Fix It" with False Hope that will destroy us in the end. This false hope will eventually lead to Destruction.

So what is the Answer? How do we move Forward and Accomplish our Dreams and Goals? How can we be Certain?

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE? KEEP MOVING!

When Paul talked to a group of people that had a society much like ours he showed them,

"We Live and Walk by Faith, not by Sight." 2 Cor 5:7

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! KEEP MOVING!

What did Paul show them? His own life. Paul was beaten, stoned (Not Pot LOL), whipped, ridiculed, made fun because of his short stature and ugly. Paul was thrown in jail for "hate speech." (Even though it was love speech)

Life wasn't fair for Paul. Remember he was the leader of the of the "Religious" people at one time. Now those same people are out to destroy him.

Have you ever had anyone turn on you and try to destroy you?

Paul had no Future! So what was Paul's Secret?

PAUL KEPT MOVING AND DIDN'T STOP!

Romans 8:24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! KEEP MOVING!

The Hope of God is unseen. Can you see wind? No but you can feel it and see the affects of it in the Trees.

If you are open to it you can see God's Work everyday in your Journey as you are MOVING toward your goals.

It may be tough but as long as you keep moving you won't get Polluted with the Disease of Negativity and Bitterness.

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE! KEEP MOVING!

2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

YOU CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE!

Just Go! Keep Moving! Win the Day!

Rick
