The MIRACLE of TRUSTING GOD: Overcome Worries Through Powerful PRAYER | [C.S. Lewis]

[Music] you can overcome your worries with this prayer have you ever wondered why faith is considered a virtue in our Christian walk many are puzzled by this concept questioning how belief or disbelief can have moral implications but oh dear ones let me share with you a profound truth that will illuminate your understanding and set your hearts are blazed with curiosity our faith is not merely an intellectual exercise or a simple acceptance of rational ideas no it is far more powerful and transformative than that picture if you will an anchor strong steadfast and immovable this is

what our faith becomes in the storms of life holding us firm when emotions and circumstances threaten to shake the very foundations of what we once held true consider this when we're about to undergo surgery we trust that the anesthesia won't harm us and that the skilled surgeons will operate only when we're fully unconscious yet lying on that operating table Panic can set in making us doubt what we know to be true our faith in God operates in a similar yet far more profound way now lean in close for I'm about to reveal reveal a secret

that will revolutionize your understanding of Faith are you ready to discover the art of holding on to truth when your emotions Rebel to uncover the power that can keep you anchored when the storms of life threaten to sweep you away CS Lewis that great Christian thinker defined Faith as the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods this my friends is the essence of our journey with Christ Our moods are unstable shifting like sand beneath our feet but our faith it must be as solid as The

Rock upon which we stand this is why dear ones we must cultivate the practice of Faith it's not enough to Simply believe we must actively nurture our faith through daily prayers immersion in God's word and fellowship with other believers these practices aren't mere rituals they're life lines that keep us connected to the truth when our feelings would lead us astray but here's a profound truth that I want you to grasp today Faith brings us to a crucial point of recognition our own inadequacy after striving to live out Christian virtues and falling short time and again

we come to a humbling realization even if we could perfectly embody every virtue we would only be returning to God what is already his it's at this moment of recognition that we're led to turn to God and say Lord I cannot do this you must do it for me this beloved is where the Christian Life truly begins to flourish we place our entire trust in Christ believing that he will share his perfect obedience with us and transform us into his likeness as it's written in Philippians 2 verse3 for it is God who works in you

to Will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose the beauty of our faith lies in this dependence on God we recognize that all we do and can do is insufficient but Christ's work is all sufficient we trust that somehow in ways we may not fully understand Christ will share with us the perfect human obedience he fulfilled from his birth to his crucifixion now you might wonder does this mean we do nothing far from it the Bible beautifully resolves this seeming Paradox in Philippians 2:12-13 therefore my dear friends as you have always obeyed

not only in my presence but now much more in my absence continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to Will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose mom do you see the beautiful balance here we are called to work diligently yet we acknowledge that it is God who works in us this is the essence of faith we act but we trust God to empower and transform us my dear brothers and sisters I want you to know that if you've made it this

far in our message today it's not by chance God has a special purpose for your life and I believe with all my heart that he has guided you to this moment to receive a message of transformation let me share with you a profound truth that has shaped my life when you leave everything in God's hands in time you will see his hand in everything I've witnessed this truth unfold in my own life in my marriage in raising my children in career changes in health struggles and in financial challenges my grandmother a woman of great faith

used to say something that deeply impacted me your you'll never regret giving something to the Lord but you'll often regret taking it back time and again I found this to be true as I continue to learn to trust in the hands of the one whose Works reflect his glory the prophet Isaiah beautifully describes the position of God's servants who are chosen and loved by him listen to these words of comfort from Isaiah 41:10 so do not fear for I Am With You you do not be dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you

and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand there is no reason to fear or worry for God's presence is real near and constant he strengthens us and upholds us with his powerful hand taking care of every detail of Our Lives the death of Jesus and his surrender to the father sealed the promise of salvation for all who believe and ensured that his grace would be sufficient in every circumstance true faith my friends is born when we fully trust in God allowing him to take control of everything and recognizing his hand in

every situation the Bible teaches us in 1 John 1:9 if we confess our sins he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness we must start by acknowledging our mistakes hiding nothing from God or others no excuses no justifications by doing this we will experience a new freedom and see improvements in our relationships with Jesus and others I've learned that when I'm transparent about my flaws before others notice them the situation becomes much lighter and easier to handle honesty earns respect and what we try to hide often

comes back to haunt us I urge you beloved to surrender every area of your life to Jesus don't hide your weaknesses from him he already knows them deeply give everything to God knowing that he is greater than any problem or challenge we may face this understanding brings us a peace that transcends human logic Romans 8:28 reminds us and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose purp this verse assures us that no matter how things seem at the moment God

is working for us always bringing forth good according to his Sovereign plan today I want you to believe that your moment of transformation has finally arrived God is doing something new in your life right now Isaiah 43:9 declares see I am doing a new thing now it Springs up do you do not perceive it I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland no matter what obstacles setbacks or difficulties you have faced God is shaping everything for your benefit Philippians 1:6 assures us being confident of this that he who began a

good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus this means that God is faithful to complete what he has started in in your life trust the process knowing that he is working for you even when it's not visible I encourage you to engage with a community that offers support and share your journey testify to the changes God is making in your life your story may be the inspiration others need those who are still waiting for their own transformation remember this is a time of renewal and growth cultivate a

spirit of GR attitude spending more time in worship thanking God for the blessings and the changes he has already begun to make in your life have you ever felt stuck as if your prayers weren't being heard or as if your situation would never change if so know that this message is for you the Bible is full of examples of God's miraculous interventions and today he is declaring that your season of victory has come let let's look at some scriptures that reaffirm God's promises of transformation Psalm 37:5 says commit your way to the Lord trust in

him and he will do this this reminds us of the importance of fully trusting God knowing that he is faithful to act on our behalf Isaiah 41:10 also reassures us so do not fear for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand even in the midst of difficulties God is present sustaining us with his strength and empowering us to move forward and in 1 Corinthians 2 verse 9 we read however as it is written what

no eye has seen what no e has heard and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him this reminds us that God is always working in our favor even beyond our comprehension God's declaration that your breakthrough has come is a call to believe to hold on to faith and to await his divine intervention we must understand that God's timing is always perfect Ecclesiastes 3:1 teaches us there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens your transformation is part of God's divine plan

and often the delays we Face are not setbacks but God's adjustments for something greater and better trust his timing additionally Embrace faith not fear fear paralyzes us but Faith propels us forward Hebrews 11:1 says now Faith is confidence in what we hope for and Assurance about what we do not see even when circumstances don't change believe that God is working behind the scenes speak words of Faith over your life and your situation James 5:16 also reminds us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective pray with expectation knowing that God hears and

is faithful to answer your prayers move the spiritual realm and bring tangible changes to your life align your actions with God's word as James 2:2 6 teaches us as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without Deeds is dead if you believe in God's promises your actions should reflect that trust if you're expecting a financial breakthrough manage your resources wisely if you're praying for healing take care of your health diligently your actions should mirror the faith you profess maintain a posture of gratitude and a positive mindset Philippians 4: 6 to7 advises us do

not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus gratitude attracts God's blessings and keeps us focused on his goodness and faithfulness surround yourself with people who encourage and strengthen you Proverbs 27:17 says as iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another connect with individuals who share your faith and can walk alongside you in prayer and support and above all immerse yourself in God's word as Psalm 119:
