Divine Reset [Sermon Note]
Pastor Lian
The Lord has something powerful for all of us today.
Philippians 3:12-13
Pressing Toward the Goal
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
There is more. Pressed on and lay hold of the much more.
During these 2 years, perhaps some of us experienced lost. Maybe you lost your job or your sense of intimacy with Christ.
Today there will be a divine reset!
All the lost will come to an end even today!
There shall be a divine reset!
In order to lay hold, you got to let go and let God.
There is new beginnings for us.
Reach forward to those things which are ahead .There is more!
Day of divine reset.
All lost will come to an end.
Press on and press in and lay hold of more
Celebrate a new beginning
Let go of everything that was not good in the past.
Isaiah 43:18-19
“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
There will be refreshing. There will be rivers in the desert.
Be favor minded.
I am the apple of God’s eyes.
I am His beloved. In whom He is well pleased.
Believed that you are favored.
You don’t have to be good enough of smart enough.
You don’t have to be talented enough.
One drop of God’s favour.
The dew of heaven falling down in this place.
Supplies coming to u. God-inspired ideas coming to you!
My favour is sufficient! Is more than enough! My strength is made perfect in your weakness.
We are going to press on and hold on to Him.
Is a new season.
Philippians 4:8 AMP
Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right andconfirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].
Speak into your new season.
Isaiah 43:18-19
“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
Sometimes we don’t have the answer to this side of heaven.
The couple who lost their one month old baby in Jan 2019, they let go of the “why” and laid hold on the restoration
In March 2019, she supernaturally conceived. And she received her restoration.
Today they received double restoration
God’s goodness is real!
God’s goodness is real even if there are things you can’t explain or understand
Consider not. You don’t understand, let go.
Do not remember.
Press on.
Laid hold
Today we will come forward and laid hold on God’s purpose.
There is a divine reset taking place.
Don’t let the devil rob you of God’s purpose for you to serve in the house of God
We cannot all be famous and don’t want to be famous. But we can have greatness. There is great reward in heaven.
Don’t be robbed of God’s given purpose
2 important days in our lives
The day you are born
The day you find out why you are born
John 17:3
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
It is not possible to know Him and not be blessed.
You will be blessed when you know Him
You will want to be a blessing
Know your God’s purpose and press on and press towards it and laid hold of it
He is no fool to give up what he cannot keep and lay hold on God’s purpose
Joshua 6:1-5
The Destruction of Jericho
Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”
Jericho was securely shut up
God has said I have given.
The most critical thing about laying hold
The ark is going before us.
What is the ark?
The ark is Jesus.
The very and power of the ark.
The blood on the ark
Revelation 1:5
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
He is the ark! He shed His blood to pay for everything that we need and we want to lay hold on.
It is finished! Every blessings, finished paid for!
Everything we need, done!
Finished! He did it all!
Look up. Worship Jesus and see everything paid for! That is why we can lay hold.
