It's Still All Good.

Romans 8:28 - 31


 28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
 29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
 31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

You may not understand why you have trouble but it works toether for the good. You will understand later on why trouble came. Think about Job. God gave the devil permission to the devil. The devil has to approach God to touch you.

Job 1: 6 - 12

 6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
 7And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
 8And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
 9Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
 10Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
 11But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
 12And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

Also refer to 1 Peter 4:12:

12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Stop asking God why. It is working for your good. God will only allow trouble for so long. God will then let you dance in the devils face after the trouble is gone. Also refer to these verses.

Psalm 34:19

19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Psalm 119:71

 71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

God will keep you in class until He sees a reflection of Him.

1. He has predestined you.

Jeremiah 1:5

5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations

Don't think you are insignificant. It does not matter whether or not you were born out of wedlock, God knows the numbers of hair on your head.

Predestined - God has a specific plan for you.

Jeremiah 29:11

 11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Your map is already made. Just find it.

Jeremiah 6:16

16Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Ask God to help you to get on the path.

Numbers 23:19

19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

You can't worry about gossipping, back-biting, murmuring and complaining. The children of Israel were trapped because of their complaining. Instead of complaining praise Him! God will get the last word. You can'tworry about others and what they are doing. Birds of a feather flock together.

Pastor Brown wants to get you on a path with God, to get you from one level to the next. From sick to healed, from poverty to prosperity. If you hae had a set back it is all good.

Complaints will get you no where but confusion. When you praise Him God has to move.

2. Those He has predestined He has called

If we are calledby Him we need to act like it. You can't come to God any way & expect God to move for you. You have to be different. You have to do it even if you have to be the only one.

3. Those He calls He justifies

You are graced for this. Stop picking others' sin. Sweep around your own front door. Any given moment the grace of God can be lifted off of you. You are not better than anyone. Every man should examine himself. Whatever you did to get the blessing you have to continue to do it. God may strip it to show you it was Him who gave it to you and you had nothing to do with it.

4. He glorified you

He will light you up like a christmas tree. He will fix your family, money, ect.

Do not lose your praise. We are all coming out!
