  • When all you’ve heard is “no,” it’s still not over.
    Jump ahead:
    7:44 - Learn how to be released in reverse.
    13:49 - Who dictates your level of faith?
    28:05 - Your “no” won’t always come from the enemy.
    35:40 - Sometimes, when God says no, there’s a greater opportunity.
    37:21 - Sometimes you have to pass by your plans to get to God’s purpose.

      I have not heard this before and it makes so much sense to me today u blow my mind CONSTANTLY because I REALLY am free of my anxiety and fear and sadness and the future of my DAUGHTER Jessica and my grandchildren but not my addiction or the man who Got put in my life for the season of the loss of my DAUGHTER STEPHANIE Lynn Murphy. ITS NOT OVER.!!!! BUT I AM GOING TO WAIT FOR HIM AS LONG AS I HAVE TO. I HAVE BUILT TRUST THROUGH HIM AS HE WALKED THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH. HE PROTECTED ME EVEN WHEN I WAS DOING WRONG.

      I myself was in a drug and alcohol rehab, less than a month ago and God told me No that he wouldn't take my addiction from me but I could give it to him so yes God did allow me to give him my addiction I prayed to be more like him and to free me from myself God decreased my situations and gave me the courage to totally commit my life and will to him and when I totally submitted to God he freed me from myself and all this is because God told me no he wouldn't take my addiction but he did free me from my prison to myself and I truly believe that God will use the addiction I went through to his glory he a has left this thorn in me to remember where he's brought me from

    One of my favorite Steven Furtick quotes is, “99.9999973% of the things you are worrying about do not matter!” Worry is useless. God’s got it and you are not a slave to fear.

    This message so impacted me today. I was the sole caregiver for my husband of 20-1/2 years who battled metastatic prostate cancer from 4/28/12 until he died in my arms on 4/29/16. I was so angry with God for not healing my husband of the cancer, however today it was revealed to me through this message that God healed me spiritually from my insecurity, fear and doubts about being able to fulfill God’s call on my life. Today I walk in the newness of God’s light, strength and power to go forward and be all He has planned for me in this earthly lifetime, praising his Holy name all the way.

  • @mongeyaz
    @mongeyaz Před 6 lety +76

    This sermon hit me deeply. I have been praying, and I received a harsh no from God. Today, I started rebeling against God. After praying with more confusion and anger, I saw this sermon on my "watch later" playlist. Now, I know why God has said no. It's because He has a much different purpose for me. The details will unfold as my obedience does. I will praise the Lord right now with my "no" just as I have in the past with my "yes".

    • @nfgatorgal
      @nfgatorgal Před 6 lety +2

      Yazmin M. Amen! I have had the same situation. I used to have such a hard time fully trusting in His plan, especially when it didn't match my own and I was going through hell. But once I learned to trust Him, through praying about exactly that, my prayers changed to asking Him for His will instead of mine. For asking for Him to illuminate my next steps when I'm lost instead of whatever specific thing I THINK will make me happy. And He has come through EVERY TIME. Try it! God bless you and good luck!

    @williamcramer3596 Před 6 lety +1

    "God is more concerned about your Spirit than your scenery." Paul was free even when he was shackled. Get yourself better because "it" may not get better in your life. God will set you free from you. Release from yourself the prison of resentment, blame, etc. God started and will finish a good work in you. "Divine empowerment often leads to human initiative." "God will put the right people in your life for the season you are in." "Sometimes, when God says no, it's because there is a greater opportunity that I don't know about yet." "God is with you in the no just like He is with you in the yes. He is a good Father." "Sometimes you have to bypass your plans to get to God's purpose." "If God will not remove the obstacle, then He will give you the grace to overcome it." Don't quit trying to be better. Don't go back to your old ways. God will never quit on you if you don't quit on him first. What will you miss out on if you are disappointed in God's no and quit and go home? "If you receive God's yes with praise, then why not receive God's no with trust?"

    And when God says not to go to that place, not to do that thing that you want to do; He knows your good intentions, He knows you really want to do it all in the goodness of your heart. But He will give you a greater opportunity to reach for; he knows what's ahead in the opportunity that you want to do, so He gives you something greater that will cause you to make a greater difference, a greater impact in the lives of people and communities He needs you (only you) to reach. So, in the end when you look back on that greater opportunity, you'll know that no other opportunity greater than God's opportunity could've come your way. No other!

I knew it, but tried to, what is expected of me I want to do, what AAbba Father is working in my life for me. Jeremiah 29:11. I can only say:"Precious Holy Spirit lead me, make me willing to be willing to be who You want me to be" I love Abba Father, our Precious Holy Spirit, who always shows me our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!!!!!

    I made a huge decision after 19 years and I need to set free because i have gone over and over in my head if I made the right decision. I am not sure what's next in my life--but I need God to guide my steps. I have a lot of faith--sometimes bigger than others can handle--so this is a message I needed to listen to. Sometimes we don't understand God's purpose--but I be live he has a plan

    I've had a job change due to a brain tumor I had. It was removed in surgery then I was back to work as normal a year later only to lose it for good 8 years later. Was put in a different position at same company making less money but much more time with my kids. It was truly a blessing in disguise because God knows I love my family and really appreciate being able to spend time with them. Before I felt like I lived at work so it was a testimony to how God gives you the desires of your heart when seeking Him. Sometimes they come in unusual ways obviously. Praise God for His faithfulness to me in my life and I'm thankful to be here robed in His righteousness. It's been 12 years now since the surgery. I could have been gone and never seen my 4 year old or my 4 month old girls grow up as now one is 14 and other 18. Wow time flies! Praise Him for His mercies are new everyday!!🙇‍♂️

    God always says No to me, I relate most to Paul in the Bible because of his wishes and struggles. I acknowledge God all the time, it's not easy at all but I know he loves me and wants what is best for me.

    This was so on time. All year long I've been seeking a new job. Been on countless interviews, second interviews, taken assessments, etc. only to be told "no" over and over again. I couldn't understand it and gave up by summer. This job was my main goal for the year. Earlier this month though, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "there's still time; don't you give up!" I've been intentional on stepping out on faith and applying for everything I'm interested in this month despite if I feel I'm qualified or not. "God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the called!" God, I trust you! Thank you for this message! Blessings!

This message reminds me that I am placed where he wants me to be and I must continue to stand be strong and watch for God's instructions, not quit 'cause it gets hard or strange. The Lord's Power is my strength. I just prayed for the Lord to send me a message. I just happened to turn on my you tube and this message was right here. Right on time! Bless you Pastor.

    I felt God speaking to me past week , i should tell a person who lost a legal case to encourage them , That sometimes we have to accept a No from God , which is the Better for us, and now hearing this same message , confirms me that It is GOD speaking to me also , to accept the No, but know --that its not OVER!
