God Is For Us. 08/01/2020

Greetings my friends, grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and the lord Jesus Christ. I thank God for enabling me to share with you His word of hope, love and security. Lord I ask that you be with me as I share your word with your people. In  days like these it certainly does the hearts of your people good to know that you are on our side. There is no better  security than what you provide, the creator of the universe and the giver and the sustainer of life protecting us and showing us the way. Lord fill me with your spirit, lead and guide me help me to  say those things that you would have me to say, to edify your people. I thank you Lord and I will always remember to give you the glory in Jesus name. Amen.

Brothers and sisters we are in a time of  political chaos. We are approaching election time. As you know there are several elections that will be taking place in our country. Presidential, congressional, senatorial, governor, etc. Everyone is competing for your vote. Right or wrong everyone in this country who is a citizen has the right to vote. Not everyone will vote because  the enemy is always devising a plan to deny people their right to vote. You are casting your vote to choose a representative who will protect your interests and protect your human rights as a citizen in this country. The constitution states that all men are born with inalienable rights and that all men are created equal. Thats true. All of these candidates slug it out, and in the end one of them win. Many votes, many fights, much deception and one win.

Romans 8:28-39

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. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
More Than Conquerors
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died —more than that, who was raised to life —is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

There is another election I want to tell you about. In this election everyone on earth is a nominee. Everyone that excepts the vote that counts is elected. God cast a vote for each of us. Jesus His Son is the form of the vote. We place our trust in Him, If we honor his loving lordship we are promised the victory. We are called, and elected.

How safe do you feel in Christ? I don’t want to give comfort to anyone who is living outside of Christ. Listen my friends God’s promises doesn’t cover unbelievers. What we need to do is let God’s word change us, we need to let God’s word give a different prospective prospective to worried Christians and worried churches.

I. First Reminder (8:33-34)

B. He has been raised,   overwhelming death with great power.

III.  Our Equipment 

A. We have puny pressures against us ( trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, sword). This is puny compared to our equipper and the equipment.

B. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, Not deaths crush and not life’s pressures, nothing from the world of spirits, neither present difficulties, nor anything that come along later, No created thing, can interfere with our rescue by God, The uncreated

Worry don’t have any place in the life of a Christian. I’m sick from worry, worrying will make you sick. It is the  most disintegrating enemy of human personality,” Worry is wicked.

Someone may ask, Is apprehension the same? well apprehension means fear, dread, the expectation of evil. it is every bit as bad.

Worries fall into three categories

Past  Paul Said ”  forgetting what is behind  (Phil 3:13)

future.  90% of your worries for the future will not happen

present  ” God is For Us”

IF you are a unbeliever God wants to be for you. He love you so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ, who has never sinned to take the sins of the entire world and die on the cross as payment for our sins. God said if you believe in Him and the work He did dying on the cross you will receive eternal life,  Can you trust God? will you trust God. believe right now. Don’t put it off until tomorrow, because tomorrow is not promise, the only time you can count on is right now.

Great God and Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ father we ask that you open our hearts and minds so that when we meditate on this message we can apply it to our lives and to our understanding.
