LET IT RAIN
Joel 2:23 The rains God sends are tokens of forgiveness.
This beautiful sentence in the bible gives a tangible experience to forgiveness. Rain becomes very real in our lives. It is cooling, soothing, and life giving.
Imagine the number of times you had been in rain. Remember the times you ran away from it, hid from it, trapped in a car, or any such occasion when you thought it would be safe if not in rain. Rain sometimes is scary and sure it gets us wet. Rain as much as is life giving, it can take our life away as well. So, rain is a beautiful thing when we don’t have to be in it.
Now let us replace the word rain to read forgiveness. Forgiveness is cooling, soothing and life giving. It is scary at times to experience forgiveness and be forgiving. But many times we hide from forgiving and being forgiven. Hidden in our own safe places, we sometimes don’t experience the power and healing forgiveness offers. God sends us forgiveness over and over and we run away from it and hide under the roof of our metal cars and thick walls. Let us come out of our hiding and experience the forgiveness God sends us in our lives. Everytime it rains, let us be reminded that God is sending us his loving forgiveness and let us take it all into ourselves.
God’s rain is God’s love and every rainfall is only a fraction of the forgiving love that falls into our lives without cost.

I Will Never Be The Same Again Written by, Geoffrey William Bullock in 1997. His Praise and Worship music inspired me throughout my youth years and in my own way, has made me feel spiritually electrified to Jesus every time I sing this song. Once you hear the words a few times, find your quite space, close your eyes and tell the Holy Spirit to let the words flow out into worship. ..::Lyrics::.. I will never be the same again. I can never return I've closed the door. I will walk the path I'll run the race. And I will never be the same again. Fall like fire soak like rain. Flow like mighty water again and again. Sweep away the darkness burn away the chaff. And let the flame burn to glorify your name. There are higher heights there are deeper seas. Whatever you need to do Lord do in me. The glory of God fills my life. And I will never be the same again. ..::Chorus::.. Fall like fire soak like rain. Flow like mighty water again and again. Sweep away the darkness burn away the chaff. And let the flame burn to glorify your name. I will never be the same again. I can never return I've closed the door. I will walk the path I'll run the race. And I will never be the same again.

A Savior Is Born New Living Bible Welcome to VenuLife Church! God bless you and thank you for coming to our page, if your ever in our area we invite you to come join us here for our online messages or events that we hold every other Saturday evening. I assure you that we will make you feel right at home. This evenings Christmas message is a about, A Savior Is Born. But, before we dive into the word of God please, join me by holding up your Bible and repeating after me. This is your word. We are what it says we are. We have what It says we have. We can do what it says we can do. Today we will learn the word of God. We boldly confess that our minds are alert, our hearts are receptive and, we will never be the same, In Jesus name. Amen. Luke 2:1–20. Verse 1, At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. Verse 2, (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) Verse 3, All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. Verse 4, And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. Verse 5, He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child. Verse 6, And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. Verse 7, She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them. Verse 8, That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Verse 9, Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, Verse 10, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. Verse 11, The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! Verse 12, And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” Verse 13, Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, Verse 14, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” Verse 15, When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” Verse 16, They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. Verse 17, After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. Verse 18, All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, Verse 19, but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. Verse 20, The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them. Some of the most familiar and happy words of Christmas are these from Luke 2: Luke 2:11-14. Verse 11, The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! Verse 12, And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” Verse 13, Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, Verse 14, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” I want to exult with you this Christmas over the wonders in this text, with our focus mainly on verse 14, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”It Was a Real Day the Lord—has been born . . .” It happened on a day. A day in history. Not a day in some mythological, imaginary story, but a day when “Caesar Augustus was the emperor of Rome and Quirinius was governor of Syria.” It was a day planned in eternity before the creation of the world. Indeed the whole universe — with untold light-years of space and billions of galaxies — was created and made glorious for this day and what it means for human history. Colossians 1:16, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. Galatians 4:4, But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. It happened on a day. The perfect day. In the fullness of time. The perfect time appointed by God before the foundation of the world. “For unto you is born this day!” It Was a Real City “. . . in the city of David.” It happened in a city. Not in Narnia. Not in Middle Earth. Not in a galaxy far far away. It happened in a city about 7,000 miles from Minneapolis. The city still exists today. The city’s name is Bethlehem Luke 2:4, And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. Bethlehem, six miles from Jerusalem. Bethlehem, the city where Jesse lived, the father of David, the great king of Israel. Bethlehem, the city that Micah prophesied over: Micah 5:2, But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf. It happened in a city. A real city, just like Minneapolis, or Burnsville, or Mounds View. Savior, Messiah, Lord “. . . a Savior . . .” “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior.” A Savior. If you have ever sinned against God you need a Savior. The angel said to Joseph, Matthew 1:21, And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Only God can forgive sins against God. That is why God sent the eternal Son of God into the world, because he is God. That’s why Jesus said, “The Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” Therefore, a Savior was born. “. . . who is Christ . . .” “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ.” John 1:41, Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”.) John 4:25, The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Psalm 45:7, You love justice and hate evil. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than anyone else. 2 Corinthians 1:20, For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. “. . . the Lord.” “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” The ruler, the sovereign, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father. The Lord of the universe. Isaiah 9:6-7. Verse 6, For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Verse 7, His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! Christmas in Sum The Lord of never-ending, universal, sovereign governance. The Lord of all lords. • On a day — in real history. • In a city — in a real world. • The Savior — to take away all our guilt. • The Christ — to fulfill all our hopes. • The Lord — to defeat all our enemies, and make us safe and satisfied for ever. So I exult with you this Christmas that we have a great Savior, Jesus, the Christ, the Lord, born on a day in a city to save us from our sins — our many sins. Two Great Purposes for This Great News Verse 11, The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! and pointed them to the very animal shed where the baby lay, suddenly an army of angels appeared in the sky. Evidently, one angel can bring the news, but it does not suffice for one angel to respond to the news. The meaning of this news, the ultimate outcome of this news... Verse 13, Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying Verse 14, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” The joyful news that on a day, at the perfect fullness of time, in the perfect prophesied city, a Savior was born, who was Christ, the Lord — that news has two great outcomes. Two great purposes. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” God’s Glory and Our Peace The coming of this child will be the greatest revelation of the glory of God even among the heights of heaven, and the coming of this child will bring peace to God’s people — who will one day fill the whole earth with righteousness and peace. Isaiah 9: 7, His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! First and foremost, God is glorified because this child is born. And second, peace is to spread everywhere this child is received. These are the great purposes for the coming of Jesus: Glory ever-ascending from man to God. Peace ever-descending from God to man. God’s glory sung out among men for the sake of his name. God’s peace lived out among men for the sake of his name. There is hardly a better way to sum up what God was about when he created the world, or when he came to reclaim the world in Jesus Christ — his glory, our peace. His greatness, our joy. His beauty, our pleasure. The point of creation and redemption is that God is glorious and means to be known and praised for his glory by a peace-filled new humanity. To Experience the Peace He Brings Verse 14, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” The old King James Version translated verse 14b, “and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Virtually all the modern translations agree that this was not an accurate translation. The NIV says, “ . . . and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” The NASB says, “. . . and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased.” And the ESV says, “. . . and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” The point is that, even though God’s offer of peace goes out to all, only his chosen people — the people who receive Christ and trust him as Savior and Messiah and Lord, will experience the peace he brings. You get a glimpse of this meaning in... Luke 10:5–6. Verse 5, “Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say, ‘May God’s peace be on this house.’ Verse 6, If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you. God’s peace in Christ is offered to the world. But only the “sons of peace” receive it. How do you know if you are a “son of peace”? How do you know if you are part of the angels’ promise, “Peace among those with whom he is pleased!”? Answer: you welcome the Peacemaker, you receive Jesus. Three Relationships of Peace My great desire for you this Christmas is that you enjoy this peace. We know that there are global aspects to this peace that lie in the future when... Habakkuk 2:14, For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord. Isaiah 9:7, His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! But Jesus has come to inaugurate that peace among God’s people. And there are three relationships in which he wants you to pursue this peace and enjoy this peace. Peace with God. Peace with your own soul. And peace with other people, as much as it lies in you. And by peace I mean not only the absence of conflict and animosity, but also the presence of joyful tranquility, and as much richness of interpersonal communication as you are capable of. So let’s look at each of these three peaceful relationships briefly and make sure that you are enjoying as much as you can. The key to each of them is not to separate what the angels kept together: the glory of God and the peace you long for. “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace.” The Main Point of Peace God’s purpose is to give you peace by being the most glorious Person in your life. Five times in the New Testament he is called “the God of peace” Romans 15:13, I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 16:20, The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Philippians 4:9, Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. Hebrews 13:20, Now may the God of peace—who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood— And Jesus said, “My peace I give to you” John 14:27, “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. And Paul said “Jesus himself is our peace” Ephesians 2:14, For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. What this means is that the peace of God, or the peace of Christ, can never be separated from God himself and Christ himself. If we want peace to rule in our lives, God must rule in our lives. Christ must rule in our lives. God’s purpose is not to give you peace separate from himself. His purpose is to give you peace by being the most glorious Person in your life. So the key to peace is keeping together what the angels keep together: Glory to God, and peace to man. A heart bent on showing the glory of God, will know the peace of God. And what holds these two together — God getting glory and us getting peace — is believing or trusting the promises of God obtained by Jesus. Romans 15:13, is one of those fundamental texts pointing to this crucial role of faith. Romans 15:13, I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. In other words, the way God’s promises become real for us and produce peace in us and through us is “in believing.” When we believe them. That’s true whether we are talking about peace with God, peace with ourselves, or peace with others. Peace with God The most basic need we have is peace with God. This is foundational to all our pursuits of peace. If we don’t go here first, all other experiences of peace will be superficial and temporary. The key passage here is in... Romans 5:1, Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Justified means that God declares you to be just in his sight by imputing to you the righteousness of Jesus. And he does that by faith alone: “Since we have been justified by faith.” Not by works. Not by tradition. Not by baptism. Not by church membership. Not by piety. Not by parentage. But by faith alone. When we believe in Jesus as the Savior and the Lord and the supreme Treasure of our lives, we are united to him and his righteousness is counted by God as ours. We justified by faith. And the result is peace with God. God’s anger at us because of our sin is put away. Our rebellion against him is overcome. God adopts us into his family. And from now on all his dealings with us are for our good. He will never be against us. He is our Father, and our Friend. We have peace. We don’t need to be afraid any more. This is foundational to all other people. Peace with Ourselves And because we have peace with God because of being justified by faith, we can begin to grow in the enjoyment of peace with ourselves — and here I include any sense of guilt or anxiety that tends to paralyze us or make us hopeless. Here again believing the promises of God with a view to glorifying God in our lives is key. Philippians 4:6–7 is one of the most precious passages in this regard: Verse 6, Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Verse 7, Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. “Do not be anxious about anything [the opposite of anxiety is peace], but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God (in other words, roll your anxieties onto God). And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” The picture here is that our hearts and our minds are under assault. Guilt, worries, threats, confusions, uncertainties — they all threaten our peace. And Paul says that God wants to “guard” your hearts and minds. He guards them with his peace. He guards them in a way that goes beyond what human understanding can fathom. Don’t limit the peace of God by what your understanding can see. He gives us inexplicable peace, supra-rational peace. And he does it when we take our anxieties to him in prayer and trust him, that he will carry them for us and protect us. 1 Peter 5:7, Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. When we do this, when we come to him — and remember we already have peace with him! — and trust him as our loving and almighty heavenly Father to help us, his peace comes to us and steadies us, and protects us from the disabling effects of fear and anxiety and guilt. And then we are able to carry on and our God gets the glory for what we do, because we trusted him. Do that this Christmas. Take your anxieties to God. Tell him about them. Ask him to help you. To protect you. To restore your peace. And then to use you to make peace. Peace with Others The third relationship where God wants us to enjoy his peace is in our relationships with other people. This is the one we have least control over. So we need to say it carefully the way Paul does in... Romans 12:18, Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. For many of you when you get together with family for Christmas, there will be some awkward and painful relationships. Some of the pain is very old. And some of it is new. In some relationships you know what you have to do, no matter how hard it is. And in some of them you are baffled and don’t know what the path of peace calls for. In both cases the key is trusting the promises of God with heartfelt awareness of how he forgave you through Christ. I think the text that puts this together most powerfully for me again and again is... Ephesians 4:31–32. Verse 31, Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Verse 32, Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Continually cultivate a sense of amazement that in spite of all your sins God has forgiven you through Christ. Be amazed that you have peace with God. It’s this sense of amazement, that I, a sinner, have peace with God, that makes the heart tender, kind and forgiving. Extend this to others seventy times seven. It may be thrown back in your face. It certainly was thrown back in Jesus’ face on the cross. That hurts and it can make you bitter if you are not careful. Don’t let it. Keep being more amazed that your wrongs are forgiven than that you are wronged. Be amazed that you have peace with God. You have peace with your soul. Your guilt is taken away. Keep trusting God. He knows what he is doing. Keep his glory, not your success or your effectiveness in peacemaking or your relationships, supreme in the treasure chest of your heart. And then you will be like the angels: Glory to God in the highest is the first thing. Peace among his people is the second thing. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” This is why he came — on a day, to a city, as the Savior, Messiah, and Sovereign. That God would get glory, and that you would know peace. May the God of peace give you peace, and get his glory. Thank you for visiting VenuLife Church! We invite you to come visit us. Wherever you are you can join us on Saturday evenings at 7P for Online Messages and church events. God bless you! Senior Pastor, Leonard Beene "Leo" VenuLifeChurch.org

Welcome friend, VenuLife is looking for talented believers of Jesus Christ to come to the frontlines. Have you been called to serve in ministry, but the church tells you that there's no room or that you need to "prove" yourself before you can join or start a church ministry? Mark 1:17 Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!" Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Jeremiah 1:5 "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." For years I have always known that I had a calling to serve in ministry. In a few cases I was held back from serving and in others I was given opportunities to serve. There's nothing worse than being told that you need to prove yourself in church before your given a position in ministry, especially when you know you’ve been called. Although, your calling into ministry has been ignored or simply put on hold, Jesus tells us to keep going forward and to use your God given talents. Philippians 3:12-14 I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Don't let anyone hold you back from serving Jesus. About Venulife Q: What is Venulife's Church Denomination? A: Non-denominational Evangelical Q: What is VenuLife's Mission, Vision and Values? Mission: Inspire people to fearlessly change our community and the world. Vision: Be a movement that encourages all people to change our country with love, peace and inclusiveness. Values: Exhibit peace in our lives. Love ourselves and all family, friends and, neighbors. Recognize that ever person is a leader in their own unique way. Be innovative and relevant in our community. Be contagious by living in joy. Remembering that there's always opportunities to grow. Venulife's Statement Of Faith can be read by clicking https://www.VenuLifeChurch.org/statement-of-faith Remember that calling I said I had? It took me 27 years after my calling to really do something big for Jesus. Sure, I served in ministry for many years, but not at my full potential. It wasn't until August 2017 that I took a leap of big faith to start a online church from scratch. The one thing that stuck in my mind after years of serving in ministry is that the biggest and boldest ideas usually begin small.’ _______________________ Starting in 2018, Bible based messages from the New Living Bible will be posted online every Saturday evening at 6:30pm. And, also starting every Wednesday evening at 6:30pm there will be church activities/events at various VENUES, throughout Orange and Osceola County, such as: • Bowling Night • Movie Night • Prayer Night • Church Excursions • And much more _______________________ As Senior Pastor, I welcome you to share your innovative ministry ideas and take a step forward at fulfilling Christ's plan to give and receive many blessings. Proverbs 11:25 The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. What has God planted in your heart? Is it youth ministry? Is it kids ministry? Maybe it's community outreach ministry? Perhaps it's to start a small groups ministry? Or maybe it's something else? Let's do this! https://www.VenuLifeChurch.org

I assure you that we will make you feel right at home. This evenings message is a about you, Fear Not. But, before we dive into the word of God please, join me by holding up your Bible and repeating after me. This is your word. We are what it says we are. We have what It says we have. We can do what it says we can do. Today we will learn the word of God. We boldly confess that our minds are alert, our hearts are receptive and, we will never be the same in Jesus name, Amen. What are you afraid of? These are the top fears shared by people everywhere. The list in many ways is self-explanatory. 10. Losing Your Freedom 9. The Unknown 8. Pain 7. Disappointment 6. Misery 5. Loneliness 4. Ridicule 3. Rejection 2. Death 1. Failure Many of these fears are tied together, such as death and the unknown, rejection and ridicule, pain and misery, and failure and loneliness. We can also observe that these are mostly existential fears that describe an inner condition of the heart. That is, these are not fears of specific things. In the latter category, I ran across a Gallup Poll answering the question, what scares Americans most? In order the answers are: 1. Snakes 2. Public Speaking 3. Heights 4. Being closed in a small space 5. Spiders 6. Needles and getting shots 7. Mice 8. Flying on an airplane 9. Dogs 10. Thunder and lightning 11. Going to the doctor 12. The dark This is obviously a much more concrete list. I can identify with the part about snakes and heights. I speak so much that while I do get nervous sometimes, I don’t “fear” public speaking. And while I may not fear the dark, I sometimes find myself looking around corners after watching Michael Myers on Halloween. We all have our fears, don’t we? Fear is a basic human emotion: Your list won’t be same as mine, but we can all identify with some things on the second list and most of the first list. If we aren’t worried about mice, we certainly fear rejection by those we love. And we all think about our own death from time to time. When will it happen and under what circumstances? If we are wise, we also wonder, what then? I’m not surprised that fear of failure comes at the top for many people. How frustrating to feel like you’ve wasted your short sojourn on planet earth. It’s a terrible thing to conclude that your life was a bust because it didn’t turn out the way you hoped it would. Somewhere in all our thinking God has to figure into the equation. There must be a reason that the Bible tells us (in various ways and in various places) to “fear not” hundreds of times. Fear is such a basic human emotion that many of us constantly live in the grip of fear, worry and anxiety. God told us to “fear not” because he knew that we would all wrestle with fear sooner or later. God says hundreds of times in hundreds of ways "Fear not." What do you do when your fears seem to be winning the day? What if you pray and God still hasn’t come through for you? If you are like most people, you begin to lose hope, and you wonder why you bothered to pray in the first place. Deep in the soil of your heart, little seeds of doubt take root, growing up into a harvest of frustration and anger. It happens to most of us eventually. Some of the best men and women of the Bible struggled with their inner doubts when their dreams didn’t come true. Waiting for a Baby Abraham’s story illustrates that truth. In order to get the context, we have to go back forty centuries, back to a time long ago and far away, to a place called Ur of the Chaldees, a large city on the banks of the Euphrates River. That river still exists. It flows through Iraq and empties into the Persian Gulf not far from Kuwait. Historians tell us that Ur was one of the most important cities of the ancient world. In Abraham’s day perhaps 250,000 people lived there. There was an ancient university in Ur and a large library. Ur was known as a center for mathematics, astronomy, and international commerce. It was like Chicago or New York or London or Singapore. What else do we know about Abraham (he is first called Abram, and later Abraham) as the story begins? He’s about seventy-five years old when we meet him, which in those days would be considered middle-aged. He’s a prosperous businessman who is no doubt well-known to many people. He and his wife Sarah (first called Sarai), and they have no children. It is against that backdrop that God speaks to Abram for the first time. Genesis 12:1, Now the Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your family and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Later God promised to give him descendants. Genesis 13:16, I will make your family after you like the dust of the earth. So if anyone could number the dust of the earth, then he could number your children’s children. Ten years quickly pass without any sign of children. Abraham is almost eighty-five and not getting any younger. Sarah is far past child-bearing age. Even though he has just won a great victory (see Genesis 14), nothing can satisfy his deep desire for a son. Genesis 14:1-24. Verse 1, It was in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, Verse 2, that they made war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). Verse 3, All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea). Verse 4, They had been ruled by Chedorlaomer for twelve years. But in the thirteenth year they went against him. Verse 5, Then in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and won a war against the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shavehkiriathaim, Verse 6, and the Horites in their Mount Seir as far as El-paran near the desert. Verse 7, Then they turned around and came to Enmishpat (that is, Kadesh). There they won a war against all the country of the Amalekites and the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar. Verse 8, Then the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela (that is, Zoar) went out and joined in war against them in the valley of Siddim. Verse 9, They fought against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five. Verse 10, Now the Siddim valley was full of deep holes with tar. The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah turned and ran, and some fell there. But the others ran away into the hill country. Verse 11, Then those who won the war took all that belonged to Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left. Verse 12, They also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and all that belonged to him, and left. Verse 13, Then one who had run for his life came and told Abram the Hebrew. Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of Abram. Verse 14, When Abram heard that one of his family had been taken away, he led 318 men who had been born in his house and whom he had taught to fight. They went after them as far as Dan. Verse 15, Abram divided his army against them by night, he and his servants. They won the war against them, and followed them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. Verse 16, Then Abram returned with all the things they had taken. He also returned with his brother’s son Lot and all that belonged to him, and the women and the people. Verse 17, After Abram returned from destroying Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s valley). Verse 18, Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was a religious leader of God Most High. Verse 19, And Melchizedek honored Abram and said, “May good come to Abram from God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth. Verse 20, Honor and thanks be to God Most High, Who has given into your hand those who fought against you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all he had taken. Verse 21, And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the riches and food for yourself.” Verse 22, But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have promised the Lord God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth, Verse 23, that I will not take a piece of string or piece of leather or anything that is yours. Or else you might say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ Verse 24, I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol and Mamre take their share.” Only those who have gone through this experience can fully empathize with Abraham and Sarah. There is no sadness like the sadness of wanting children of your own but being unable to have them. Even in this day of modern medicine and advanced technology, many couples wait for years and some couples wait forever. God didn't seem in a hurry to give them a son I think Abraham’s greatest fear stemmed from the fact that God did not seem in a hurry to give them a child. How much longer would he wait? Why had he delayed? Had God changed his mind? Was there some problem he didn’t know about? Had they sinned? Were they doing something displeasing to God? Why was Sarah’s womb still closed? If God had promised, why was it taking so long to be fulfilled? Should they go to Plan B? All those questions were running through Abram’s mind. God knew exactly what his servant was thinking. He saw the doubt. He understood the fear. Now he moves to reassure Abram that all will be well. The time has not yet come for the child to be born, but it isn’t far off either. "I Am Your Shield" Genesis 15:1, After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a special dream, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your safe place. Your reward will be very great.” There are at least four reasons Abram could have doubted God’s promise of a son: 1. He was too old. 2. Many years had passed since the promise had been given. 3. Nothing like this had ever happened before. 4. Sarah also doubted God’s promise. When you think about it, there was no reason to believe--no reason except that God had promised to do it. The question now is simple: Will God’s promise be enough for Abraham? To all our fears, God says, "I am your shield." In answer to that question, God declares, “I am your shield.” We should not think of a small shield that covers only the chest area, but rather of a shield that stretches from head to toe and completely protects every part of the soldier’s body. Such a shield offers complete protection from every attack of the enemy. To call God our shield means two specific things: 1. He protects us in times of doubt. 2. He rescues us in times of danger. Note that God does not say, “I will give you a shield,” but “I am your shield.” The very God of heaven says that he will be our shield, which means we have a shield that is omnipotent, universal, eternal. That shield cannot be defeated. It is as strong as God himself. We could not be in a better position. Who can defeat us when God himself is our shield? The great message is certainly clear. If God is your shield, fear not! Immortal Until It has been said that “a Christian is immortal until his work on earth is done." That statement means that nothing can harm you without God’s permission. Not cancer, not AIDS, not bankruptcy, not theft, not physical disability, not the loss of your job, not a terrible accident, not the death of a child, not any of a thousand other sorrows that afflict the children of God. Christians aren’t immune to sadness. What happens to others also happens to us. The difference is this. We know that God protects us from harm so that nothing can touch us that doesn’t first pass through his hands of love. That knowledge doesn’t mean that we don’t weep or we don’t suffer. Far from it. But it is the basis for the statement that “we sorrow but not as those who have no hope” 1 Peter 5:8-9. Verse 8, Keep awake! Watch at all times. The devil is working against you. He is walking around like a hungry lion with his mouth open. He is looking for someone to eat. Verse 9, Stand against him and be strong in your faith. Remember, other Christians over all the world are suffering the same as you are. "You can do nothing to me" A missionary told me how she had nearly been put in jail when a hostile lawyer began harassing her and the local Christian hospital. He objected to the fact that the hospital openly did evangelism along with its compassionate medical care. Seeking a pretext for legal action, the lawyer accused the hospital of illegally selling intravenous fluid to its patients. It wasn’t true, but that didn’t matter. For nearly ten years the case bumped up and down the court system of that country. At one point several years ago it appeared likely that the missionary might either be thrown in jail or forced to leave the country. “I’m going to shut down this hospital,” the lawyer chortled, “And you’re going to jail or I’ll have you deported.” Who can defeat us when God is our shield? To which the missionary replied, “You can do nothing to me except what my God permits you to do.” That’s a perfectly biblical answer. Our God is a shield around his people. Nothing can touch us except that which God permits. Why God Delays His Answers That brings us back to the central issue. Why did God wait so long to give Abraham a son? Abraham was seventy-five when God first spoke to him and one hundred when Isaac was finally born. He was almost eighty-five when God came to him and said, “Fear not.” After all these years God still wasn’t ready to answer Abraham’s prayers. Abraham was old, but he would be older yet before Isaac was finally born. Of all the questions that plague the people of God, none is so vexing as the question of unanswered prayer. We know God loves us and has a good plan for our lives. Why then does God take so long to answer our deepest, most heartfelt prayers? From Abraham’s experience we may suggest three answers: 1. To develop perseverance in us. To put it very simply, it would be too easy if God answered all our prayers the first time we prayed them.Not only would we take God for granted, we would also develop a shallow faith. I have a good friend who is stuck in a difficult job situation. She works with a colleague who has a reputation for being an easygoing nice guy. “But he’s not like that behind the scenes,” she says. Every time she has a good idea, he either steals it or complains to the boss. And since his job is more important than hers, he always wins. He also uses threats and intimidation to get his way. He thinks only of himself and how he can get ahead, and he doesn’t mind being ruthless if that’s what it takes to get what he wants. Sound familiar? Every office probably has a person who answers to that description. When I asked my friend if she was planning on leaving her job, she gave a very wise answer: “I know that God put me here and gave me the talent to do my job. If he wants to move me, that’s fine, but I’m not going to try to do it myself. I’m sure God can use me in this position and I want to learn everything he is trying to teach me.” Here is a woman whose faith is growing stronger through a difficult situation. Every day she is being given new opportunities to trust God and to respond graciously to an unkind coworker. Meanwhile, she prays for God to work in her and through her and, if necessary, to change her situation. My own feeling is that God will eventually answer her prayers by either moving her on to a new job or by removing the other person. But that may not happen for months or years, and until then, my friend is developing many godly qualities as she patiently waits on the Lord. 2. To ensure that God alone gets the glory. When Paul wrote about Abraham’s story, he mentioned this point prominently. Romans 4:19-21. Verse 19, Abraham was about one hundred years old. His body was about dead, but his faith in God was not weak when he thought of his body. His faith was not weak when he thought of his wife Sarah being past the age of having children. Verse 20, Abraham did not doubt God’s promise. His faith in God was strong, and he gave thanks to God. Verse 21, He was sure God was able to do what He had promised. Not only did Abraham have to wait twenty-five years for an answer to his prayers, he also had to suffer the humiliation of his own failed schemes. Immediately after God spoke to him in Genesis 15, he agreed with Sarah to sleep with their maidservant Hagar in hope of conceiving a child through her. It worked, and Ishmael was born. But this shortsighted attempt to “help God out” backfired and brought sadness and heartache to everyone involved. Genesis 15:1-21. Verse 1, After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a special dream, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your safe place. Your reward will be very great.” Verse 2, Then Abram said, “O Lord God, what will You give me? For I have no child. And the one who is to receive what belongs to me is Eliezer of Damascus.” Verse 3, Abram said, “Because You have not given me a child, one born in my house will be given all I have.” Verse 4, Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This man will not be given what is yours. But he who will come from your own body will be given what is yours.” Verse 5, He took him outside and said, “Now look up into the heavens and add up the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then He said to him, “Your children and your children’s children will be as many as the stars.” Verse 6, Then Abram believed in the Lord, and that made him right with God. Verse 7, God said to him, “I am the Lord Who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land for your own.” Verse 8, And Abram said, “O Lord God, how may I know that it will be mine?” Verse 9, So the Lord said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove and a young pigeon.” Verse 10, Then Abram brought all these to Him, and cut them in two. And he laid each half beside the other. But he did not cut the birds. Verse 11, When the meat-eating birds came down upon the dead animals, Abram made them go away. Verse 12, When the sun was going down, Abram went into a sleep as if he were dead. And much fear and darkness came upon him. Verse 13, God said to Abram, “Know for sure that your children and those born after them will be strangers in a land that is not theirs. There they will be servants and suffer for 400 years. Verse 14, But I will punish the nation they will serve. And later they will come out with many riches. Verse 15, You will live many years, die in peace and be buried. Verse 16, Then your great great-grandchildren will return here. For the sins of the Amorite are not yet finished.” Verse 17, When the sun had gone down and it was very dark, a fire pot of smoke and a burning fire passed between these parts of animals. Verse 18, The Lord made an agreement with Abram on that day. He said, “I have given this land to your children and to their children’s children, from the river of Egypt as far as the big Euphrates River, Verse 19, the land of the Kenite, the Kenizzite, the Kadmonite, Verse 20, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Rephaim, Verse 21, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Girgashite and the Jebusite.” God often delays His answers. God often delays his answers so that we will have plenty of opportunity to fail using our own resources. Only then does God act, but when he does, it demonstrates that he alone is responsible for answering our prayers and that he alone must get the glory. 3. To deepen our trust in God. I think that’s why Hebrews Chapter 11 gives more space to Abraham’s story than to any other Old Testament hero. He is the preeminent man of faith in the Bible. When we read his story and see how long he waited (twenty-five years), we gain a new perspective on our own situation. If Abraham had to wait, it should not surprise us that we will often have to wait a long time for the fulfillment of our dreams and the answers to our prayers. And as with Abraham, waiting is not bad if it causes us to deepen our trust in God and to learn more about his character. The answer is a person God’s answer to fear is not an argument or a formula. It’s a Person. That’s why he said to Abraham, “Fear not. I am your shield.” God himself is the final answer to every fear of the human heart. Have you ever wondered why God called himself by the name? Palms 2:7, I will make known the words of the Lord. He said to Me, “You are My Son. Today I have become Your Father. Above all else, it means that God is eternally existent and therefore all creation depends on him. God stands alone. No one can be compared to him. He is complete in himself. God doesn’t need us but we desperately need him. God doesn't need us, but we desperately need Him. Think of it this way. To say that God is the great “I AM” means that when we come to him, he is everything we need at exactly that moment. It’s as if God is saying . . . I am your strength. I am your courage. I am your health. I am your hope. I am your supply. I am your defender. I am your deliverer. I am your forgiveness. I am your joy. I am your future. God is saying to you and me, “I am whatever you need whenever you need it." He is the all-sufficient God for every crisis. From fear to faith Let’s wrap up this message by looking at four principles that will move us from fear to faith. 1. Faith focuses on God, not on your problems. A woman told me that she had changed her phone number and left it unlisted because she is gripped with fear as she thinks about certain people and what they might do to her. As we talked together, I finally said, “It’s time to move from fear to faith. Are you ready to move with me?” She smiled hesitantly and then said yes. We prayed, claiming God’s promises of protection. When I saw her the next day she said that she had slept much better that night because she wasn’t focusing on her fears. Think of Abraham. The past argued against his ever having a child. So did the present. His only hope lay in the promises of God for the future. As long as he looked back, he would never have faith to believe God. His only hope was to step out into the future, trusting that somehow, someway God would keep his promises. 2. Faith trusts in God’s timing, not your own. So many of our struggles with fear start right here. Deep down, we fear that God has somehow made a mistake in his dealings with us. Like Abraham, we have waited and waited-sometimes for years on end. Even though we may have seen many remarkable answers to prayer, the one thing that means the most to us has not been granted. As I write these words I am thinking of certain people I know who pray faithfully week after week for their loved ones to be saved. Some of them write notes each week asking prayer for an unsaved husband or wife. Week in and week out the requests come in and the staff prays for them faithfully. One husband has been praying for his wife for many years with no real change in sight. Another wife faithfully requests prayer for her husband. Sometimes he seems interested in spiritual things, and then his interest suddenly seems to disappear. Where is God? Why doesn’t he answer the fervent, heartfelt prayers of his people? Of the many answers that might be given to that question, one answer must be that God’s timing and ours are often quite different. Sometimes it seems like we live in one time zone and God lives in another. 3. Faith grows by believing God in spite of your circumstances. Sometimes our circumstances make it easy to believe in God; other times we have to struggle. As I write these words I have a friend who is entering the final stages of his battle with brain tumor. After long and difficult treatments, there is nothing else the doctors can do. He is one of the finest men I know; a man whose gentle spirit endears him to others. No one knows how much time he has left, but it seems to be a matter of time. The last time I talked with him, he spoke about the goodness of God. He added that he and his wife had a long and happy life together and they knew that God would take care of them. His wife said simply, “No matter what happens we are trusting in the Lord.” That’s biblical faith rising above circumstances to lay hold of the eternal promises of God. 4. Faith obeys God one step at a time. This principle is often overlooked by those seeking to do God’s will. God promised a child and Abraham desperately wanted to see the fulfillment of that promise. So what does God tell him to do? Round up the animals for a sacrifice Genesis 15:9-11. Verse 9, So the Lord said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove and a young pigeon.” Verse 10, Then Abram brought all these to Him, and cut them in two. And he laid each half beside the other. But he did not cut the birds. Verse 11, When the meat-eating birds came down upon the dead animals, Abram made them go away. How do you get from there to the nursery? Abraham doesn’t have a clue and God doesn’t tell him a thing. But Abraham now has a choice. He can choose to obey God, round up the animals, and get ready for a sacrifice, even though it doesn’t seem to connect with the son of his dreams. Or he can argue with God or decide to take matters in his own hands. God weaves an unseen pattern that one day will lead us in a new direction. How often we stumble over this. We slight the near in favor of the far, shirking the duties of today because we are dreaming about some distant tomorrow. But until we have done what God has called us to do today, we will never be prepared for what he wants us to do tomorrow. In the end 99 percent of life turns out to be humdrum, ordinary routine. It’s the same old thing day after day.Yet out of the humdrum God is weaving an unseen pattern that will one day lead us in a new direction. Faith take the next step- whatever it is-and walking with God wherever he leads us. Sometimes it will make sense, other times it won’t. But we still have to take that step if we are going to do God’s will. Can God be trusted? Everything I’ve been trying to say comes down to one simple question: Can God be trusted to do what is right? If the answer is yes, then we can face the worst that life has to offer. If the answer is no, then we’re no better off than the people who have no faith at all. In fact, if the answer is no or if we’re not sure, then we really don’t have any faith anyway. I have chosen to believe because I must believe. When my grandpa died 44 years ago, I came face to face with the ultimate unanswerable question of life. I didn’t know then why such a good man would have to die at his age. I had no clue about what God was doing. In the years since then I have learned many things about life, but I confess that I still don’t understand why my grandpa died. It doesn’t make any more sense to me now than it did then. I am older and wiser, but in the one question that really matters I have no answers. But I have learned since then that faith is a choice you make. Sometimes you choose to believe because of what you see; often you believe in spite of what you can see. As I look to the world around me, many things remain mysterious and unanswerable. But if there is no God, and if he is not good, then nothing at all makes sense. I have chosen to believe because I must believe. I truly have no other choice. There will be times when we can’t read the Bible. Sometimes we won’t be able to focus our thoughts on God at all. Often we will not even be able to pray. But in those moments when we can’t do anything else, we can still trust in the loving purposes of our heavenly Father. Fear not, child of God. No one knows what a day may bring. Who knows if we will all make it through this week? But our God is faithful to keep every one of his promises. Nothing can happen to us except it first passes through the hands of God. If your way is dark, keep on believing. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he cares for you.
