Shabbat Shalom Fiveamprayer Family! I’m so glad to be here with you on this Shabbat! I don’t know how you came into this teaching maybe full of hope maybe full of questions or maybe you’ll here clinging to the last thread of faith but wherever you are in your journey, I want you to take a deep breath, exhale, and hear this truth with your whole heart! Act as if everything always works out not because we are pretending problems don’t exist, but because we serve a Yah who never fails several years ago, I hit a wall. I was in a season where nothing made sense bills piling up opportunities, slipping away. Prayers met with silence and I remember one morning Sitting in my car after I got another rejection call just staring at the steering wheel. I whispered Yah are you still writing the story because the pages feel blank right now and in that quiet, I sensed a whisper back not a booming voice, but a nudge in my heart skip! I had to align my perspective and get in line for destination. That’s why you go with her it changed me from that point! I chose to show up differently, I began to act as if the breakthrough was already on its way. I applied for jobs like I was already qualified. I woke up each morning and dressed like I had somewhere important to be. I prayed like the answer was already yes and overtime doors began to open, but more than that my faith grew roots. Interestingly, this isn’t just motivational talk. It’s biblical in Hebrews 11:1 scripture tells us now faith is the substance of things. Hope for the evidence of things not seen. Think about that. Faith is the substance. It’s the real stuff of the things we haven’t touched yet!its the evidence of what? still still invisible that means when you act as if you’re not living in denial You’re living in the truth of what Yah has already spoken, even if it hasn’t manifested it yet the heroes of faith didn’t wait for visible proof before they moved. Noah built the ark before the first drop of rain. Abraham packed up and left without knowing where he was going. David ran toward Goliath, not away. They lived like Yah’s promises were fulfilled because in Yah’s timeline! I wanna ask you? what would change in your life if you truly believe that everything would work out perfectly! but for your good and his glory! if you stop rehearsing defeat and started rehearsing deliverance because when you walk in that kind of faith, not fear, not fantasy but faith you don’t just wait for the promise you prepare for it and that kind of preparation moves heaven! let’s go deeper now let me explain how mindset affects behavior and the outcomes one of the most powerful things Yah has ever given us. Besides, a spirit is perspective the way you see something determines the way you respond to it and your response shapes your result. It’s not just what you’re facing that matters. It’s how you perceive what you’re facing that’s why I wanna talk about shifting your mindset act, as if everything always works out not from logic to fantasy, but from fear to faith is a world of difference between wishful thinking and acting in faith. Now let’s be real wishful thinking is passive it hopes for the best without preparing for it! it says maybe one day, but takes no steps to walk in that day. Faith on the other hand acts as if the promise is already in motion. It doesn’t wait for circumstances to change it changes its posture before anything externally! that kind of mindset move mountains not just metaphorically, but literally because Yah doesn’t just respond to needs he responds to faith. Let me tell you a story about a young woman. I know we call her Mariah. She had a dream of becoming a fashion designer, but life wasn’t exactly giving her runway lights and sewing machines. She was working a retail job, taking care of her siblings and didn’t even own a decent laptop. Everything around her said Not now maybe not ever but something inside her flipped one day she stopped waiting for the right conditions and started sketching during her lunch breaks to watch YouTube videos on design instead of binging shows she acted as if doors were about to open even when her reality said otherwise fast forward two years Mariah now runs her own small business with a thriving clothing brand. She didn’t wait until she had a studio to start she started in faith right in the middle of lack. She told me once I had to see it in my mind before I ever saw it in my life and that right there is the power of perspective! now if you think that’s impressive. Let me take you back to one of the most iconic moments in scripture one Samuel 17 when a teenage Shepherd name David stood in front of a seasoned warrior giant named Goliath. Everyone around. David saw an impossible battle. They saw he armor intimidation, and defeat, but David saw something else. He saw an opportunity for Yah to be glorified. His perspective was radically different from all those around him and the armies of danger. Listen to words in verse 45 you come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty. He didn’t just believe Yah could win. He acted like it was already done. He ran toward the giant instead of away from him. Imagine with no sword no shield just a slingshot based on what His Faith in Yah! it was the kind of perspective that changes the game! It isn’t that life don’t always come 9 feet tall sometimes they come dressed as deadlines bad diagnoses, failing marriages, lost dreams or the voice in your head, saying you’re not enough, but how you see your giant will determine whether you hide in fear or rise in faith. The enemy wants you to magnify the problem. Yah wants you to magnify him. Furthermore, your perspective doesn’t just affect you! it impacts everyone connected to you when David stepped up the entire Israelite army gained courage his perspective set a new tone for his generation. You might be the David in your family. You might be the one who decides to act as if Yah is who he says he is and when you do, others will start to believe too, but let me make this personal. What if you stopped measuring your future future based on your present, what have you started viewing your challenges as invitations to trust Yah more deeply! Faith doesn’t ignore the fact it just sees them through a different filter. It says yes this is hard, but Yah is still able. Yes this looks impossible, but nothing is impossible with him. You might be looking at your bank account account and thinking there’s no way I’ll ever be free from this or staring a business. It’s barely breathing and wondering if you should just just give up But can I challenge you on today!!to shift your perspective? Ask yourself how would I act if I knew Yah was already working behind the scenes how would I plan give or if I believe that everything even this was gonna work out for good! the truth is Yah never promised we wouldn’t face battles but he did promise he never leave us in them! That changes everything and when your mind shifts from fear to faith your whole life start to move in that direction so today if you remember, nothing else, remember this Giants are only your perspective in life, not because of perfect strategy, but because of fearless, faith and fearless faith begins with a perspective that refuses to magnify the problem chooses instead to magnify the Yah who’s never lost a battle keep going that’s explore faith in action. It’s easy to say we have faith when everything‘s going well. It’s easy to raise our hands in worship when doors are opening and prayers are being answered in real time! what about the moments when nothing is happening when the job isn’t coming through the relationship is falling apart. The breakthrough feels like a myth. What does faith look like then! because real biblical faith isn’t just what you feel. It’s what you do faith isn’t passive. It’s incredibly proactive. It’s not about waiting around for a sign in the sky. It’s about taking steps even when you don’t see the path take Noah for instance Genesis chapter 6 through nine!!paints a vivid picture of a man who didn’t just believe Yah he obey him. Yah told Noah to build an ark because rain was coming now that might not sound too wild until you realize it had never rained before Not like that. Noah didn’t have evidence. He had a word and what did he do? We picked up tools he chopped wood he measured cubits he followed Yah’s instructions down to the nail! can you imagine the stares he must’ve gotten the conversations people probably thought he lost his mind. You’re building a what Noah for a what kind of storm, but Noah didn’t build the ark because the storm had started. He built the ark before the storm ever came. That’s what faith in action looks like it doesn’t wait for proof it prepares based on a promise likewise, James 2:17brings this truth home with piercing clarity. Faith without works is dead, not weak, but dead. In other words faith that doesn’t move is not faith at all. You can declare all the right things pray all the right prayers, but if there’s no movement, no obedience It’s empty because real faith doesn’t just believe Yah will do it. It behaves like Yah’s already doing, let me share a real story with you this one close to home a single mother, I know raising three children on her own, had a dream of launching a small catering business business no investors, no savings just her talent hustle, and her faith she could’ve waited until someone handed her a check or a perfect kitchen But instead she started cooking meals from a tiny apartment. She posted photos on social media walked flyers around her neighborhood and delivered food in her beat up car with her kids in the backseat. She didn’t wait until things made sense. She moved while it was messy and do you know what happened? People started ordering Then those orders turned into repeat clients then someone who tasted her food offered to sponsor her first small storefront kitchen it didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen through faith in motion. This woman didn’t hope for favor she walked toward it. She lived as if Yah was backing her because he was and he still is!!In fact, I wonder what is Yah is calling you to build? What business idea what ministry what book what step of obedience is sitting in your spirit right now waiting for action because let me tell you something powerful Yah often waits to release the provision after we take the step! we want the red seat to part before we move but sometimes you have to step into the water, just like the priest did in Joshua 3:10!and only then did the water begin to roll back and yes, it’s scary. Yes, it takes risk. Yes, people might not understand But your responsibility is not to make people understand your responsibility is to obey what Yah place in your spirit because when you move in faith, you’re not moving alone you are moving with the authority and backing of the king of Kings. Let me ask you today if you really believe that Yah was with you. What would you do differently? What emails would you send? What would you write down? Who would you forgive? What risk would you finally take because acting as if everything works out isn’t just hopeful thinking it’s a posture of obedience it says Yah I trust you so much. I’m gonna move before I see a sign. I’m gonna step even when I don’t see the staircase. I’m gonna build like the rain is coming I’m gonna sow like the harvest is already on its way and here’s the beautiful part when we move with that kind of faith we start to see Yah moving in ways we never imagined Not because we earned it, but because we trusted him enough to act before it made sense to get ready to discover faith in action regardless of circumstances, let’s get something straight today . Faith is not a feeling it’s not a moment It’s not just a few uplifting words during a Shabbat message. Faith is a force. Faith is movement faith is stepping into what Yah has said even when nothing around, you confirms it and more than that faith is active. It’s not sitting in a chair, waiting for the phone to ring or the opportunity to knock. It’s putting your hand to the plow because real faith doesn’t sit it builds take Noah for example, you can find his story between Genesis chapter 6 and verse nine Yah came to him with an assignment that made absolutely no sense in human terms build a giant boat in the middle of dryland for a flood no one had ever seen rain, what rain people probably thought he was delusional, but Yah didn’t give Noah a weather forecast. He gave him instructions, and Noah didn’t argue. He didn’t negotiate. He built day after day year after year with no proof, except a word from Yah now imagine the ridicule the whispers there goes crazy Noah again, working on that big boat for a storm that doesn’t exist, but Noah kept swinging the hammer he kept showing up not because he saw results because he trusted the one who gave the blueprint his faith didn’t believe it moved. That’s what set him apart and it’s the same for us. Faith without action is just noise James chapter 2 verse 17 says it plainly faith without works is dead, not effective dead. That means you can say all the right things post all the scriptures and still miss it if you’re not putting your belief into motion because talk is cheap obedience cost something I remember meeting a single mother a woman who had every reason to play it safe three kids, no spouse no financial backing just a dream burning in her belly and a conviction that Yah had more for her. She wanted to start a business catering, but she had no commercial kitchen no team no big break just pots pans and a vision rather than wait for the ideal moment she got to work she cooked meals out of a tiny apartment kitchen. She walked flyers daughter door. She offered samples at local events. She sold plates from her car. I watched her grind through exhaustion throughout through. She had to stretch every dollar, but she kept moving she kept believing, and she kept acting as if Yahvwas going to meet her on the other side of her effort and wouldn’t you know it he did! Someone invested in her dream and helped her secure a small storefront today she’s not just running a successful catering business she’s mentoring other women who are where she used to be. That’s what faith in action produces not just results but legacy so often we say we’re waiting on Yah but what if he’s waiting on us Waiting for us to pick up the hammer waiting for us to type the first page of the book waiting for us to apply for that grant make that call go to that meeting. See the arc didn’t build itself. You have to start before it rains. What’s powerful is that when we move we partner with heaven! Yah doesn’t just bless intentions. He bless his steps, think about Peter when he walked on water. He didn’t wait for the storm to come. He stepped out while the waves were still crashing. He walked not on water, but on a word and the moment he acted in faith, the impossible became possible likewise, you’ve got to act like Yah is backing you because he is you don’t have to wait for the crowd to believe in you. You don’t need the applause of people to start doing what Yah has called you to do The moment you align your faith with obedience things begin to shift, not always immediately, but certainly eventually and don’t be discouraged by slow progress noah build for over 100 years before the rain came that means faith doesn’t always work fast, but it always works faithfully you’re not building for applause You’re building for obedience your building because you trust that what Yah said is more real than what your situation looks like the question is simple what would you be doing? If you were sure Yah was with you would you start writing that business plan? Would you forgive someone? Would you so into someone else’s vision would you step away from what’s comfortable to pursue what kingdom has instructed you to do! let me tell you the world doesn’t need more talkers. It needs more builders more people who don’t just believe Yah!!in theory, but walk it out daily people who act as if everything always works out not because they’ve seen it yet, but because they know the one who holds the outcome And when you act like Yah is backing you! you start to see doors open not because of your power, but because of your posture, so move build because your faith doesn’t become real, when you say it, it becomes real when you live it! let’s talk about embracing delays without defeat. Sometimes the hardest part of faith isn’t starting, but waiting! not because we don’t believe Yah can do it, but because we thought it would’ve happened by now, you see it’s easy to be bold in the beginning. It’s easy to move with confidence when the ideas are fresh and hope is high But what are you doing when days turn into weeks! weeks into months and you’re still in the same place, praying the same prayer Yah did you forget me! this is where real faith gets tested not in the go! but in the wait!! Let’s talk about Joseph for a moment his history spans across Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50 and if you read it before you know, it’s not a straight line from dream to destiny. Yah gave Joseph a vision, a clear one he saw himself rising to leadership! others, bowing before him! This was so significance, but instead of promotion, he got betrayal! instead of elevation he got thrown into a pit by his own brothers, and if that wasn’t enough, he was sold into slave slavery, falsely accused, and tossed into prison. Nowhere in the dream did prison show up, but he was!!nevertheless he didn’t let the delay destroy his discipline. He didn’t quit. He didn’t lose his excellent he didn’t say well since this isn’t what I expected. I’ll just sit back and do the bare minimum. No, he served. He interpreted dreams for others while his own dreams were still on hold. He managed the prison with integrity and when the time came when pharaoh needed someone trustworthy someone gifted someone prepared Joseph was ready because he acted as if Yah was still working, even when nothing looked like it! that kind of faith waiting without weathering is what opens the door for miracles so many of us miss what Yah wants to do because we mistake delay for denial, but delay is not Yah saying no it’s Yah saying not yet!!And let’s be honest not yet can feel like a gut punch when you’re giving your all when you’re praying with everything in you when you’re watching others get what you’re still believing for but hear me today! Yah does some of his greatest work behind the curtain! we see this echoed in Romans chapter 8 verse 28 and we know that in all things, Yah works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose notice it doesn’t say some things it says all things That includes everything that includes confusion that includes being overlooked misunderstood passed over Joseph couldn’t see it when he was in the pit, but the pit was part of the plan!!betray all the injustice the prison! all of it was positioning him for the palace. At this point you might be thinking well what do I do while I wait And that’s the right question cause the waiting season isn’t a wasted season unless you wasted! this is the time to sharpen your gifts. This is the time to cultivate discipline. This is the time to serve faithfully even if no one sees Joseph didn’t wait for a promotion to start acting like a leader. He lead in the prison first let me bring this home a friend of mine applied for a high-level job. She felt called too. She had the experience the education, the passion everything aligned, but the door didn’t open not once not twice but three times each time she felt that sting but instead of shrinking, she poured herself into a current role. She started mentoring other. She took extra certification. She showed up early and stayed late years later yes yes the company called her not only for the job she originally applied for, but for something even bigger than she had imagined, she told me had I gotten it earlier. I wouldn’t have been ready. Yah knew the pace I needed! not just the place I want it. That’s it right there. Yah is not preparing a place for you. He’s preparing you for the place and sometimes that takes time! but confuse divine timing with divine absence!!just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it’s not in motion so keep doing what Joseph did show up. Stay excellent stay humble. Keep giving your best when no one is watching. Keep sewing seats even if you don’t see fruit yet your palace moment is coming, but the question is will you be ready when it knocks? Stay with me as we unpack self discipline the faith muscle discipline now there’s a word most of us don’t shout. Amen over. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t trend. It doesn’t get instant applause, but if you’re serious about living out your purpose, if you truly want to act as if everything always works out then discipline cannot be optional. It must become your default because what we call discipline heaven often calls faith and motion too often we separate the spiritual from the practical we say we trust Yah , but our schedule is chaotic. We say we believe in our calling, but we can’t wake up consistently to prepare for it. That’s why many miss it not in their belief, but in their habits and here’s the truth self discipline is not just a personal preference. It is a spiritual Hebrews chapter 12 verse 11 says it’s straight. No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful later on however it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!!did you catch that discipline produces a harvest in other words it’s not punishment it’s preparation now let’s be real Discipline doesn’t feel spiritual at first waking up early to read your Bible setting boundaries with your time choosing character when no one‘s watching these don’t always come with goosebumps, but that’s the very point. Yah is looking for people who won’t just feel inspired, but who will train themselves to carry what he’s about to release an athlete in the off-season no cameras no fans just early mornings, sore muscles, and repetition While others are sleeping. This athlete is grinding not because there’s a guaranteed win but because there’s a commitment to be ready when the whistle blows the acts of the championship is coming even when there’s no crowd in sight and it’s the quiet training that separates them when the lights turn off!!the assignment is real and I’m going to be ready before it shows up. That’s what walking by faith looks like you’re not waiting for the platform to start preparing the message you’re not waiting for the job to start building the skill you’re not waiting for applause to start showing up like a professional! Yahusha before his public ministry spent 30 years in the quiet 30 years of obedience 30 years of learning carpentry, honoring his parents studying scripture building character only three years of ministry decades of preparation because discipline sets the foundation for what destiny will demand and let me challenge you with something practical look at your routines. Look at how you manage your mornings look at how how you handle your gifts your body your mind are you stewarding them in a way that reflects where you’re going or where you’ve been Because if you act as if everything always works out, you won’t waste time you got it. You won’t scroll endlessly you’ll study you won’t just wish for change your train for discipline is not about perfection. It’s about posture. It’s about saying I trust Yah so much. I’m not going to wait until I see it. I’m going to live like it’s already mine and when you do that people may not understand your level of commitment they may say why are you trying so hard when nothing‘s happening yet but what they don’t see is what you believe you believe there’s more you believe something‘s coming you believe the harvest is on the other side of consistency and here’s the beauty of discipline it doesn’t just prepare you for success it protect you when you get there because open doors without strong discipline can crush a weak character, but when you’ve been trained by sacrifice by consistency by humility! so I’ll ask you again if you truly believe things will work out. What kind of discipline would you walk in today? What would you start doing now? Because faith without action is dead and action without discipline is aimless keep sharpening. Keep showing up. Keep living as if Yah’s promise is closer than it feels because it is and you discipline your declaration that you’re ready to carry it well together let’s uncover overcoming fear and doubt fear that invisible wall standing between where you are and where you call to be The tricky part disguises itself as logic whispers. What if you fail if you’re not enough what if this isn’t the right time let me flip that for a moment. What if everything does work out instead of fear being your forecast faith was your fuel fear is not just an emotion. It’s a spiritual thief. It robs clarity, paralyzes action and disguise his doubt as wisdom, but scripture couldn’t be clear and Timothy chapter 1 verse seven says for Yah is not given us a spirit of fear, but the power of love of a sound mind that means if fear is driving your decisions, Yah is not in the driver seat faith is not the absence of fear is the choice to trust Yah anyway!!think about Peter in Matthew chapter 14 verse 22 to 33. Yahusha is walking on the water and Peter sees him and says Lord if it’s really you tell me to come Yahusha says come that was all Peter needed he steps out of the boat and for a moment he walks on water think about a human being, defying the laws of physics. Fear only wins when you feed it and you feed it with overthinking with comparison with isolation but when you start feeding your faith with prayer with worship with the word, stave fear as influence, that’s why it’s so crucial to speak life over yourself sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say I was not created for fear I was made for purpose. You got a declare scripture until your soul starts believing it and you’ve got to surround yourself yourself with people who push you towards faith not panic. fear there will always offer a counterfeit future one that says you’re abandoned and protected destined to fall but faith reminds you that you are covered, equipped and chosen the key is deciding who you’re going to believe because fear is just faith in the wrong outcome when you believe that Yah is who he says he is fear has no authority over your life When you believe that Yah is working all things for your good fear. so let me ask you again what if everything does work out what if the very thing you’re afraid to start becomes the breakthrough someone else is praying for what if your obedience unlocks not only your purpose but a chain reaction of miracles in the lives of others now is not the time to hesitate. Now is the time to silence. Fear with faith you have a sound mind you have power you have love, and above all you have a Yah who walks on water and calls you to do the same Step out the boat was never your destiny! Let Him open your eyes to productivity! aligned with purpose when we talk about productivity, many people people think of hustle long to do list and staying busy but productivity in the kingdom of Yah is not just about being busy it’s about being aligned Because you can be exhausted and still not be effective. You can be moving fast and still be headed in the wrong direction true fruitfulness comes when you’re doing lines up with why Yah created you in the first place now consider the parable of the talents in Matthew chapter 25 verse 14 to 30 Yahusha tells the story of a master who gives his servant different amounts of money, five talents, two talents, and one talent each according to their ability, the first two servants immediately go to work and invest what they’ve been given they doubled their portion, but the third servant is his talent in the ground. He doesn’t lose it, but he also doesn’t grow and when the master returns, the two who took action are appraised but the one who played it safe, he’s called wicked and lazy because doing nothing with what Yah gave. You is not safe. It’s wasteful similarly many people are waiting for a perfect plan or ideal conditions before they act, but what if acting in faith men simply using what’s already in your hands, what if alignment isn’t about having all the answers, but having the courage to start moving in the direction of Yah’s voice!productivity with purpose productivity doesn’t begin with action. It begins with clarity. You must first know your way before you chase your what when you’re not sure of your purpose. It’s easy to say yes to everything and produce very little but once your purpose is clear your priorities become sharper and your energy becomes focused. That’s when fruit starts showing up not just effort but results furthermore productivity is not something you chase alone. It’s a partnership with the Holy Spirit. That means you can ask Yah what would you help me focus on today? Where should I invest my time, my energy, my gifts because when you’re aligned with his plan, even your small steps carries supernatural impact you may feel like what you have is too small to matter, but remember Yah doesn’t ask you to multiply the talent on your own. He simply asks you to invest it. Take the step. Make the call. Write the plan. Send the email whatever your version of movement looks like like do it as if it’s going to work out because if Yah gave it to you, it already has purpose inside of it. The bottom line fruitfulness follows faithfulness when you’re faithful with what Yah has placed in your hand, he will multiply in ways you never imagined just like in Matthew chapter 25 versus 14 to 30 the reward wasn’t just more money. It was more responsibility and responsibility in the kingdom is a sign of Trust. Yah says you were faithful over a little I’ll make you ruler over much therefore don’t confuse movement with purpose, let your productivity be born out of obedience, not anxiety clarify your purpose. Make a plan take bold action, and trust Yah with the results when your work is align with your way, your impact becomes inevitable. Let’s move forward not with hustle with holy focus, and with that holy focus, something begins to shift Not just in what you do but how you do it you’re no longer working to prove your you’re working from a place of knowing your worth you’re not running around trying to make everything happen. You’re walking in step with the god who already wrote your story. Let me tell you one of the biggest misconceptions is that Yah’s calling should feel easy that if it’s really him doors will fly fly open clients will pour in. The ideas will be seamless, but that’s not alignment. That’s convenience. Alignment means that even in resistance you remain consistent even in delay. You remain obedient because you’re not working for results you’re working from revelation you’re moving because you know Yah told you to and that’s enough. Don’t get me wrong strategy matters systems matter. Yah is not glorified in chaos but strategy without submission is just noise Before you ask Yah to bless your efforts. Ask him if those efforts are even assigned to you productivity without purpose will leave you drained, but when you move in alignment, even your smallest actions carry eternal weight it might look like waking up early to write the book. No one‘s asked for yet it might look like serving faithfully in a job that doesn’t fully reflect your dream. It might look like launching the business, not knowing where the first sale will come from But every act of obedience plant succeed, and as it says in Galatians chapter 6 verse nine, let us not grow weary in well doing for induce season we shall reap if we say in other words if you just keep showing up in alignment with Yah’s purpose, the harvest has to come let me say this plainly Yah is not asking you to be perfect he’s asking you to be productive, not by the world of grind and exhaustion, but by the kingdom, standard of obedience, focus and faith It’s not about how much you do it’s about whether what you do reflects what he’s called you to build so what does it look like practically start by clarifying your purpose see him in prayer reflect on what stirs your heart pay attention to the doors. He keeps opening in plan set goals to define actions. Be intentional and act. Here’s a visual to show how you can help build generational wealth don’t bury you because you’re afraid it’s not enough the servant in Matthew chapter 25 verse 25 said I was afraid so I hid your talent and the master didn’t praise his caution. He rebuked it playing it. Safe is not the same as being faithful brand you were never created just to exist You were created to bare fruit. Yahusha said and John chapter 15 verse 16 you did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bare fruit fruit that will last that’s your assignment to be fruitful in your lane in your purpose in your calling to here’s your reminder today. Don’t just work hard work in alignment. Clarify your purpose. Make a plan and take bold. Obedient action act as if everything works out not because you’re delusional but because you’re walking with Yah who works all things together for you, let’s build let’s plant. Let’s Stewart what we’ve been given and let’s do it all knowing He’s with us his for us, and when we align our productivity with his purpose, the results are guarantee now this is how to finish strong you know it’s one thing to start something with excitement. It’s another thing entirely to finish strong. Anybody can start a race when the energy is high in the path looks clear, but it’s what you do in the middle and how you finish that determines the legacy you leave and that’s what I want to talk to you about right now living not just for victory but from it walking like it’s already done because the one who promised it is faithful as we begin to wrap up, let me remind you what Philippians chapter 1 verse six success, being confident of this that he began a good work, and you will carry it on completion until the day of Christ Jesus, that means you didn’t start the good work you responded to it. You didn’t manufacture the call. You answered it, and because Yah started that he is responsible for seeing it through nevertheless, we’ve all been tempted to quit. Maybe you’ve prayed and it feels like Yah is silent. You’ve given your best and nothing‘s moving. You’ve acted in faith aligned your productivity with purpose spoken life over your fears and yet the breakthrough seems miles away, but hear me just because you don’t see it yet. Doesn’t mean it’s not working. Yah does his deepest work in the unseen seeds sprout in darkness before they ever break through the soil in fact, i want you to understand that living from victory doesn’t mean ignoring pain.It means you face it with. Hope you move forward even with tears in your eyes you choose faith when fear feels more convenient. That’s what walking by faith looks like not always feeling brave, but refusing to be defined by fear. let’s be honest quitting is easy but finishing strong that’s where the power is that’s where the reward is because every act of endurance is a declaration Yah I trust you more than I trust what I see additionally, remember what we’ve covered together. We talked about the mindset shift from fear to faith The power of taking action like Noah in Genesis chapter 6 to 9 the discipline that shakes character in Hebrews chapter 12 verse 11 the strength to embrace delay without despair like Joseph and Genesis chapter 37 to 50 the productivity that flows from purpose and the courage to reject fear like Peter learned in Matthew chapter 14 versus 22 to 33 and now we land here homeowner Hold onto Philippians chapter 1 verse six and let it become your battle cry. He began a good work and me will finish it not might not maybe but will as we close. I wanna leave you with a challenge live this week as if the promise is already fulfilled. Speak as if the answer is already his plan is if the opportunity is already on its way worship like the victory has already been one because in Christ it has where you are in your journey at the start in the middle or near the end. Decide today that you will finish strong refuse to let delay become defeat refuse to let fear make decisions for you refuse to shrink just because the road is hard. It’s take a moment now not just to close this message, but to declare a truth over our lives, our families, our futures by the way, thank you that what you start you finish we declare that we are not people who quit we are people who endure we speak life over every dream every gift every purpose you placed within us we choose to live from victory not just for it and we trust that even when we can’t see the way you are making one give us a strength to finish strong Not in our own power but in yours in Jesus name amen like it’s already worked out like promise is on the way strong because the best is not behind you.Its just ahead!!!!!
