    FAITH is facing the future without knowing WHAT.
    FAITH is following God’s leading without knowing WHERE.
    FAITH is waiting on God’s timing without knowing WHEN.
    FAITH is expecting a miracle without knowing HOW.
    FAITH is trusting God’s purpose without knowing WHY.
    FAITH is continuing to persist without knowing HOW LONG.

    "Do you love your dream more than God? Do you love the promise more than the promise giver? Then you are making an idol" 😭

      No, because I have been waiting and getting pruned a long time . My dream still sits on GOD'S back burner as He grows me up. My dream doesn't save my soul.

    In Matthew 5 6 7.. Jesus Said.."Obey My Sayings and Seek Me and My Righteousness EveryDay..and I will Give you Everything you Need..and I will Deliver you from evil.". This is Jesus Gospel and this is Jesus Promise. If you Let Jesus Teach you and Do as He Said..your Faith in Him Will Be Tested.

    5 years of chronic illness, housebound, lost my job, fiancé, and savings.
    BUT I have well and truly now seen the mercy and kindness of God I have all of this. And the inner joy and peace and intimacy with Him is better than all that I "lost" 😊🙏
    And now I can't help but share the message 😁😁

      Me too, all 6 in less than a year but see I barely knew God prior to last September. The things that have happened to me are almost unexplainable. How is my life in the Bible? How does someone like me read & understand the Bible, talk to God & experience this? My friends & family think I’m crazy. My psychiatrist thinks I’m nuts and I don’t blame her. have u always been a Christian? How ru handling this?

    I believe that God knows our hearts and he wants to give what he promise but it’s going to be very challenging, a lot of faith and trusting God word, he will not give us something that we are not ready for because he knows exactly what he’s doing, It’s going to take pain and character development but that’s what our faith is going to be exposed if our heart is in the promise or is in God, God won’t gives us a idol until we learn how to love first God before anything then anybody.

    I love your sermons Pastor Warren. You are on point!
    When you feel that God is asking you to do something it's usually something you don't really want to do but you do it anyway and you let God handle all the consequences and have faith that he will do just that.

    I think when you go through the grief cycle, it is difficult to experience god's presence. Perhaps, after passage of the depression phase, one can feel less sorrow, and experience the presence of the lord.

    Great teaching I really love your teaching. I started listening to you when I was out on 4 months hip surgeries/ in 2017and have been watching you ever since. God uses you in my life and I refer people to listen to you. I work Sundays but this is a way to have Sunday every day of the week, thanks pastor rick. what's amazing is my company has us donate to a charity each year some of it for different non God focused charities so I always didn't look forward to it. This past year I looked for saddleback and there you were. I was so pleased to find a way to give to saddleback instead of just any charity, thankyou for listening to God.

  • @Dadaistish
    @Dadaistish 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    1st Test
    New task/dream (that seems impossible to you)
    2nd Test
    Major change (without knowing where God will lead you)
    3rd Test
    Delayed promise (Not knowing when or how the promise will be fulfilled)
    4th Test
    Unsolvable problem (without knowing how. It seems impossible)
    5th Test
    Senseless loss (seems totally irrational but you need to trust)
    6th Test
    Prolonged pain (the how long test: will you be faithful despite great pain)
    Never lose faith. God bless.
