Hello everyone. Welcome to the glory room. I'm prophetess Lilo. Hope you all are having a blessed day before we get started. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you. Thank you for life, health and strength. Thank you for loving us and taking care of us. Most of all we thank you for saving our soul. Father God, we ask you today to give us understanding. Give us wisdom as we read your word. Father God, we ask you right now to help us be doers and hearers as well. Father God, bless the ones who are reading it and bless the ones who are hearing in Jesus name. Amen. So remember the verse of the week is Habakkah 3 19. This is our last day on it. The servant Lord is my strength. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer. He enables me to tread on the heights. The verse of the day is 1 Kings 19 18. Yeah, I reserve 7,000 in Israel. All whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouth have not kissed him. Subject is not permanent. It's seasonal. Christian truth, I'm going to say it and pause behind each one to give you the opportunity to say it if you like. I'm not broken. I'm healed. I am full. I am pure. I'm grateful. I can say that I used to do everything because I was supposed to do it. Like reading my word. I did it because I needed to pray. I worship because I needed to. Some will say this is legalistic and some will say this is doing something because it is what I'm supposed to do. We all do things because we are supposed to do it. Pay our bills on time. Go to work on time. Things of this nature were done because we need to. Still, some of us won't do it at all. We won't try or even figure out ways to improve ourselves because we love the way we are. And sometimes loving the way we are and doing the right thing because we need it is two different things. As I grew with God, I realized I needed him. I needed to pray. I needed to worship and I need to read my word because by doing this, I depended on God. And that's not to say that I had days. I didn't do those things. But I began to see why I needed those things because the more we pray, the more we transform our mind and the more we read the word, the more it renews our soul. We start to change because we are waiting for his will to be fulfilled. And sometimes it's hard to change. We talked about this last week or this week. It is hard to change because we are letting go of ourselves and saying I see what's wrong and I can't change it without him. I can't be better without him. Growing is not hard since growing is not hard. Saying God, I need you because saying we need him. We must be vulnerable. I mean, if us are taught not to be vulnerable, it's weak. To others, it really is. And it's not. It's us being intimate with our Creator. For everyone who has been born and this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith. See, this verse says everyone who has been born again will overcome the world. And when we are born again, we are given the victory to overcome our sins. Our addictions are bad habits. But we must do it in his strength. We must do it. We don't overcome a lot in this world because we aren't willing to try or we are too scared to say, hey, I need to change what I'm doing to reach the level he wants me on. But the level God wants us on isn't hard to reach. The new person he wants us to become isn't. We must want it bad enough to let go of the person we are now to become what he truly wants of us. And sometimes situations will make us realize we can't do this or figure this out. I need God. He places those situations so there so we can seek and pray to him. Some of us will fuss and complain and grumble about everything. And God is sitting there saying, why won't he just come to me? Why won't she just speak to me? Our situation is not permanent. It's seasonal. First Kings 1918. Yeah, I reserved 7,000 years ago. All those who all whose needs have not bowed down to bail and whose mouth have not kissed him. See, Eliza assumed that what was happening was only to him. He was only profiting. God let him know. In this chapter, no, you are not the only one. It's others like you. The thing is we look at our situation as we are the only ones going through, but we're not. Sometimes what's happening will go away when our season is done. But sometimes I have bad allergies and that happens in the winter. And once winter is over, I have no more snipples, no worse headaches, no bad headaches. My eyes are hurting all those symptoms but are gone. But the moment the season is over, all these things leave me. I feel like a new person, but I must go through the season. I'm taking medicine and staying away from outdoor activities and because those things make my symptoms worse. Sometimes in our season, the Holy Spirit is trying to let us know, draw to me, read your word, pray to me, draw to me, dwell with me. But some of us don't want to dwell and don't want to read our word and we don't want to do anything that would draw us closer to him. Excuse me, but you are dealing with, it's not permanent, it's seasonal. Today we weren't that seasons don't always last. It takes us to want to change and listen to God about our seasonal situation. But we must pray to God. Sometimes we go through with some situation that will make us feel that we are drowning in life, but God is the life jacket that we can save us. He will keep us afloat when all else fails. But sometimes God is waiting for us to step aside, step away from our impurities. Well, all the time he's waiting for us to step away from our impurities. And he wants us to realize that things here won't hold us. It won't keep us calm. It won't pay our bills. Some of us look at things here as a way to escape. But we can't escape the plans God has for us during the season he planned us in. We also talked about being rooted in God. This is nothing but the tack of the hand me. We also talked about being rooted in God this week. The things we think roots us in life. They aren't. But what truly root us is believing in standing on a foundation that is real and true in this God. Are you willing to allow him to remove the hard callus from you? Are you willing to allow the mighty God you serve to be the only God you serve? You can see the things we are rooted in as something small or the sins we commit as something small, but we must depend on God. And some people wonder how we can hold on to God when everything is crumbling and everything isn't aligning up, but that's when we have to walk in faith and not by sight. That's why we must hold his hand and let him lead sometime. It's not meant for us to know the path, but just to walk in it. Today, remember the season, the situation. You're in. It's just season, not permanent. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for helping us through our season, loving us through our hard times. Help. Lord, help us seek you more and give you everything. Lord, our situation are so much, but the burden we care, we can't. We give you all our insecurities. We give you our pain, Lord. We are sorry if we do anything to disappoint you. Help us to walk by faith and not by sight. In Jesus name, amen. So our reference today is 2 Corinthians 5 and 7 for we walk by faith and not by sight. Hebrews 11 and 1, faith is assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11 and 1, Romans 10, 17, so faith comes from hearing. Hearing comes from the word of Christ, Romans 10, 17. For the reading, Proverbs 13, Numbers 5, Genesis 11 and Joshua 9. This ends, it's not permanent, it's seasonal. I pray you all have a blessed day. Remember Jesus loves you. I love you too. Remember to like, subscribe on any platform. Remember to share with family member or friend.
