We need to have faith and expectations

Things happen in seasons
   Seasons come and go

hear 

Proverbs 4 10
Listen my son... There is a relationship
   A father holds the child close and speak into his heart
     Accept what the Father says

God is not far away.. in Him we live.. everything in created by Christ, hold tgt in Christ
   We are in God!

Psalm 


We need to be able to hear the voice of God
John 10
Jesus have His eyes on us all days of our life cos we are His sheep whom He paid with His life
If we are a sheep, we are not tt smart
   A sheep cannot survive without a shepard
      Jesus is our shepard
   Sheeps goes in flock.. shoulder to shoulder, nose to butt
      If we don't smell the stinking of ppl in the church, we are not in the flock
   In a flock, we will be moving in the correct direction

1 Peter 10

Hear the truth from the spirit
We need to be able to hear from the holy Spirit
The truth will set us free

1 Cor 2
We need to learn to be aware that God is with us and around us.. this give us so much peace and joy in the middle of the storm

Difference between faith and facts
   Facts don't need faith.. 
   Faith: believe that God will heal.. fact: God can heal
Keep presenting the fact to the devil, and the only thing he can do is to run away

Say amen

2 cor 1
We must know the facts and say amen for the glory of God

We need to be strong in what we believe, our identity in God
