Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Are you living for Jesus or are you living for yourself?
Thank you for joining us as Pastor Bobby unloads the burden that God placed upon his heart to bring us this timely message about understanding the full impact and meaning of God's grace in the life of a Believer

ISAIAH 57: 15 For thus said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

God is in two places, the high place and the place of humility, God is not in the middle place of self sufficiency. Our hearts should be turned toward him in the high and holy place through praise and worship. When we're in a place of humility before him, in a contrite and humble spirit, He's there in that place to revive us

JEREMIAH 17
7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him
8 They are like treesplanted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.

In our previous message I shared with you that the Lord had been  prompting me to look at the life of a believer as He compares us to trees and He  began pointing out to me the numerous scriptural references that describes godly people as trees.

Each of us as believers should be looking at our lives, as the scripture says, examining ourselves to see whether we are in the faith; 

In looking at the way God speaks of trees throughout the bible, we can enhance our relationship with God  and deepen our understanding of how our faith can grow, as we learn to walk out and reflect His image in our lives

JEREMIAH 17:
7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him
8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.

Famine is a climatic condition of no food & therefore no nourishment 
Drought is a climatic condition where there is no water or nourishment

Spiritual dryness produces spiritual famine, a condition where people lack the bread of heaven and the water of life, the nourishment that only comes from Jesus
We ourselves appear to be living in such a time and there are times when it appears to be hopeless but that's according to the wisdom of men and human reasoning but in God's way of seeing things, this is the best time, because the glory of God shines brightest in the darkness.

It is in time's like these where God's grace, His love and glory shines the brightest and these are the times when Jesus does His best work & makes the impossible possible. It is in times like these where the bible tells believers, we are like trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, in other words what began as a seed of faith sown in adverse conditions has now blossomed into a beautiful tree...that's you and me.
God's word from the beginning to the end speaks of how we as believers are comparable to trees, 

Lets see what the word of God has to say

ISAIAH 53:2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground

Israel at the time of Jesus coming, was in spiritual famine and living under the oppressive occupation of the Romans. In man’s wisdom and human reasoning this was the worst time for Jesus to come. In God's way of seeing things, this was the best time. It is in time's like these where God's grace, His love and glory shines the brightest and these are the times when Jesus does his best work & makes the impossible possible

Clarification from Pastor Art: In this message, I 'm suggesting according to scripture that God isn't the author of the chaos and confusion that Jesus preached about in Matthew 24:4-14, which He described as "the signs of the coming of the end" which we as believers are now experiencing  and will experience more of before The End. 
However, I am not suggesting that God is not going to pour out His wrath against all ungodliness in the end.

MATTHEW 6
9In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10Your kingdom come. Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
