GAIN IN A TIME OF LOSS



we always ask why like this
we are our own worse counselling in times like this

social distancing is only physical... but not emotional and mentally
*learn to look at things from the view of God
   -look at the book of revelation
things that we are worked over the years could be gone in weeks
what if crisis is for us to grow to another stage in life?
God is not burrying us like the seed, but sowing the seed.. and cultivating takes time!!
quality takes time!
the master doesnt need us to see His blueprint.. He just need us to trust in Him
   -though He may be quiet that we think tt He is not ard.. but God is still working in us

God will harden us against the agony and anxiety we have in our suffering

-Godliness = to have a lot of God! - God-centered, God-focused, God-filled
   -make ourself aware tt God is always around... God's love, God's truth, God's holiness
   -be in awe of God


-Godliness is not the clothes we wear, the food we eat or the words we say
   -but living in the constant awareness of God
this believe will result in confidence in us
-Godliness with contentment
   -contentment = state of happiness and satisfaction
-its a challenge to gain contentment
   -contentment is to be Godliness and have perfect peace
   -perfect peace also require us to have trust in God
   -have an assurance from God...
trust is the key to contentment

*trust is surrendering what I cant control, self control is doing what I can control
   -learn to trust on things we cant control
   -control our attitude,  the things we can control

-we cant be 100% happy in this world
-only in heaven we will be supremely happy
*we could be worse than this current pandemic is when we walk out of this, we are trying to just recover whatever we have lost... life is not just abt the job, the business, the rank

JESUS OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST


-God is greater and giver of life
   -with God all things are possible!




almighty God came and shared our humanity
only Jesus can satisfy the judgement of penal substitution

1. Jesus is merciful
-Jesus understands and empathizes..
   -He went through what we go through... temptation, pain, disappointment
-help = run on hearing a cry to give assistance


when we are caught in the storms of life, Jesus will run to you and bind you with "helps"

boldly declare "I will not fear"!

-compassion can only be learned in the school of suffering
   -if we want to be like Jesus, we need to go through temptations and sufferings... go through hardship, be tested again and again in order to have compassion for others
      -in hardship, we don't turn bitter, but cry out to God!
2. Jesus is faithful
-Jesus is true
-as such, Jesus is our dependable high prist
-Jesus and all His disciples is going through darken days of their life
-Jesus is praying for His ppl!
-Jesus prayed for us individually by our name!






intercession is powerful!
-pray for others
Arron took the incense and intercede for the ppl





pray and intercede for ppl
   -intercession is powerful!
-Jesus is raying for us always!
-pray for ppl name by name
