We are walking in today: The Reason For The Season.
Isaiah 1: 18-19 18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19) If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. Now that you have given up, let God wash you in this season. Through the word this morning He said come let us reason together. He understands the place of giving up is not easy. Jesus is the reason for the season. Jonah 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. When you cry and reason to the Lord, He hears you. He heard your cry the very first time. He will answer you in this season. There is a reason for your affliction. Just know without a doubt I've never seen the righteous forsaken. In verse 19, it said If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. The reason for some of our test, trails, and tribulations is due to our disobedience. Remember about a year ago, God had us walking in, You will learn obedience through the things you suffer. Don't let the Christmas season of spending what you don't have-- be the reason you suffer financially. Jesus is the reason for the season. God has given us a reason to stand in this season. Reason is defined as a basis or cause, as for some belief, action, fact, event, etc. God is giving you a reason to live, because of His beloved Son. We have a reason to rejoice. God showed up with His presence on Monday. On yesterday He was our reason for giving somethings up in our lives. God will show you the reason for every step you take. The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. The reason why we are still here is because of His grace. 1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. If it wasn't for His grace where would we be?! 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. His favor in 2010 is reason enough, for Jesus to be the reason for our season!!!! 1 Peter 13:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. This is the season that we celebrate the hope of Glory, Jesus--our reason for the season. Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Thank You Emmanuel,--You are the reason for the season. Praise Your holy name!!
You gotta think about it--the reason for the season is Jesus! Think about all the things God has done for us. If it wasn't for Christ, there would be no Christmas. He is the reason why we breathe, walk, and talk. The favor of God is on our lives. The scripture this morning said it is by His grace. We come to give You thanks for who You are. We thank You for being the reason for the season. Sometimes it gets hard, God never leaves the righteous forsaken. You are our reason--You keep making a way out of no way. Thank You for being the reason to walk in obedience--to eat the good of the land. Thank You for giving us the activity of our limbs, waking us up every morning. Call on the name of Jesus--He will give You strength for what ever you are facing. If it had not been for God-- where would we be?! He is our Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Rapha, I AM--this is our time and season. God has kept us in perfect peace, with our minds stayed on Him. He has sent His Son, into a dying world--call on the name of Jesus and our enemies shall be scattered. Sometimes you need a reason to press through--He will deliver you. We win every time--when the enemy thinks he has us wrapped up, start praising the Lord. Praise Him like never before. God says it's harvest time. Are you still trusting Him? Are you still believing Him? Are you being obedient? Thank You for being, el Shaddai, Emmanuel--You are all that we need. Thank You Lord for Your continued blessings. Miracles and breakthroughs are happening on fiveamprayer--such a mighty move of God! Can't nobody can do this, but Jesus! We are connected on this conference call with one thing in common, Jesus. He is our source--sufficiency does not lie in us. Turn somethings over, to Him, trust Him. What season are you in? Is it summer, spring, fall or winter--there is a reason for each season. If things in your life are out of control, you are probably in a winter season--He is teaching you to trust Him. We have to give up our will and say Thy will be done. When we are being pressed over and over again, it is because of disobedience, we will remain until we learn. Like God told us this time last year, that we learn obedience in our sufferings. God said it is harvest time--walk in obedience, don't block your blessings. Are you walking in faith? Have you turned it over to Him? It is time for a self evaluation of your circumstances. Are you seeking God or escape only from your situation. Don't ask God why? Seek Him in that situation. Ask Him what season you are in. He is seeking our obedience. Thank You Lord for showing us that we have different seasons. Have us to see You in every season. Have us to put You first. Lord, we ask You to cover fiveamprayer in this season. We lift up fiveamprayer for what they are standing in the need of. This is our season of grace. We need to understand the reason for the season. We will let things go and walk by faith, not by sight. Believe like never before--You are the One who brought us out. Thank You Lord for every test, trial, and tribulation, in this season. Do you know the reason for your season? Thank You for this faith walk--You had us to sacrifice in this season, keeping us the whole time, Lord. This season of 2010 has been a season of favor. We ask for forgiveness, cast it into the sea. Help us to be obedient in forgiving others like You have forgiven us. The reason for the season--we shall be seeking You more, Lord. Thank You Lord.
We write in the precious blood: Do you know what season you are in?
Welcome to the overflow...
Some of us are asking, when, why and how? This is a season of grace--no matter what it looks like or what you are going through. Thank You for being the reason for our season. Who the Son sets free, is free indeed. The devil tried to disguise our season. God came to shine the light of truth to reveal, our season of grace. Thank You Lord, for revelation. Find out what your season is. If you are in winter, you will learn to trust God. You will come out. You will come out stronger, and wiser. Walk in your season--whatever season you are in--Jesus is the reason for the season. Jesus is the reason for every season. Without Him there is no season, redemption, or relationship. Thank You Lord for making a way to bring us back to You. Have a blessed day.
