Your Lord of lifting, your word of blessings, your word of chastisements. Lord speak your word to us. Bless us through your word. Let and live be blessed.
Thank you faithful Father. In Jesus' mighty name we operate. Amen. Our topic or the theme for today is the season of passing and walking through.
The season of passing and walking through Isaiah chapter 43 from verse 2 to 6. That is our test for today. The season of passing and walking through. Let's see what Isaiah's verse 3 verse 2 says.
The Bible says when the pass through the waters I will be with you. And through the rivers they shall not overflow thee. When walking through the fire that shall not be borned. Neda shad the flame kindle upon thee.
The season of passing and walking through. Everyone upon the surface of the heart has the season of its life. The season which we pass through and also we walk through. So your attitude towards passing and walking through.
That's what matters in this period. This season is a trying period. It's a period when your faith is tested. It's a period when your faith will be tested.
What do you pass through or what do you walk through at this point in time? You walk through what us. It's coming from a river. It's also coming from a fire.
There is none of these seasons that are more preferable than the hoda. All of them they have their home uniqueness. At the same time none of them is preferable. They are trying periods.
The period is easy for one to pass through waters. It's easy for you to pass through rivers. It's easy for one to walk through fire. The trying times are none of them is more preferable than the hoda.
Water, river and the fire. They are very good when they take their natural cause in your life. When you use them for your advantage. But when it goes through other way around, they are tough experiences.
They are very tough experiences. So this season of passing and walking through, there is no one that will not go through it. But your attitude towards this, your mindset towards this period is very very important. Now what should you do during this season?
What should you do this is this three season during this season? Number one, save the world you're listening to. The one that you're listening to this period matters a lot in your life. Different people, we come with different opinions.
Some we come with good intention. But in the midst of the intention, you need to see what they are telling you, whether it's from God or it's from hoda souls. Some we come with good intention as I told you, some with bad intention. But in the midst of all these, scan the world you listen through during this period.
Scan it and put it subside by side with the word of God. Whether it's related or is aligned or is aligned with the word of God. Because this period, a lot of people we come with different opinions. We did good of bad reason for brain search.
Once you need to see the world, you're listening to, you need to scan the world and place it side by side with the word of God. The second thing you need to do is the assurance of God's presence. During this period, assurance of the presence of God in your life is very, very important. In Isaiah 4, 4, 3, 2, the sleeplessness went up past through the waters.
I will be with you. That's God speaking day. God said, I will be with you. So you need to be so sure that God is with you.
Because this period is a tough time. You need to be very sure that God's presence is with you. In this period, when this presence is with you, I'm telling you, this passing and walking through will lead to your greatness, your lifting. It will lead to your promotion.
But if the presence of God is known with you at this point in time, it is mere suffering period. Because it will be, but that's always so tight. And meanwhile, nothing good will come out of it in the midst of this suffering. The third one I want to say today is assurance of God's word for you.
You need assurance of God's word in this period of passing through and walking through. In every trying time, there is a word from God. You cannot just be going through or you're walking through or you're passing through without God speaking to you. Every person and walking through without the word from God is like a mere waste of time.
When God was passing through and walking through, when God was passing through and walking through, he got to be post-op in his life when his faith wanted to fill him until God spoke to him. So knowing what God is saying on every of your passing and walking through is very, very important and goes against you. What did God say, Kossani Waters? What did God say, Kossani Rivers?
What did God say, Kossani Fire that you are going through? What it says at that time, it is very, very important. In other chapters, chapter 43, verse 2, God says, in what has he said, I will be with you. So after assurance, I said, when you go through or pass through fire, I will be with you.
That is what God is saying Kossani life. When God said, when God said, when you pass through rivers, what did God say, when you get to another stage of river? He said, when you get to another stage of passing through, what did God say again? God said, they shall not overflow it.
When you are now walking through through the fire, what did God say again? He said, he shall not bond you. Neither shall the flame can do upon thee. That is the word from the truth of grace.
So when God then you are passing through and you are walking through, yeah what God says? Don't just be passing through without any what is saying, but I wanted God say in every stage of your passing and you are walking through. And then one last one here is, do not compromise. This period of the trying time of passing through and walking through, do not compromise your faith.
People become with different opinions as I said. But what do you believe in God? What do you believe? What our loving is this to God?
What just operates me from the word from the love of God? Do not allow anything to separate you. Immediately you allow anything to separate you from the love of God you are pro-converized. Job's wife came to Job, doing this period of passing and walking through.
He said, Koss, God and God, that is the wife. Someone that is very close to him. Friends, in this period of passing through and walking through. The people that sit and want to use it for you, they will be very very very close to you.
They will continue to give you advice that can make you to compromise. They will compromise your faith. They will come, they might even come with a good intention, but see, feel and check whether it is from God. Do not compromise your faith.
Immediately you compromise your faith. There is no winning race of such a game. Immediately you compromise your faith. Then in this period, you can not get to crown again.
I pray that that we strengthen you no matter what we are going to at this point in time. The Lord will come to your head. The Lord will make it wait for you. There is no temptation that is not coming to a man.
He said, in the midst of this contemptation, it will make you wait for escape. I pray for you, consign your passing through and walking through. The Lord will make it wait for escape. You will rejoice in the name of Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' mighty name, we are prayed. Amen. By the grace of God, if Jesus is the least, we listen to what he has for us next Saturday. Your day is blessed.
Amen.
