When it looks like the end -- Heaven is just getting started. The cross was a place that crushed the disciples hopes and dreams. And as 2 of them were leaving to go back home, Jesus walked with them for 11 kilometers. They thought He was dead, but He was explaining all that God had planned was now fulfilled, and telling them the next steps. And He is walking with you today, even if you don't recognize Him.

It looks like Jesus doesn't care - But Jesus is in your boat. In the times the storm looks bigger than you can handle, Know Jesus is there to get you through. Having a storm does not mean you are out of God's will, or that God doesn't care. There are sometimes God allows the storms to reveal Himself in a powerful way in your life.

When it looks like you are alone - the Lord stands with you. You will find that human support is limited, but God's presence is not. If you belong to Jesus, you are never by yourself, He is always with you. Let your praise start in the middle of your difficulties, when you feel the worst. Because you trust God to be with you and deliver you.

What looks like not enough, God calls more than enough. What looks like something small God can turn it into something great. Take the lack that you have in your hands and put it into God's hands. God multiplies everything we surrender to Him.

!! Sorry about sound issues with our podcast today !! -- There are many times that timing is important to God. And God's timing is not always the same as we think it should be. But in the end, the Lord is always on time and He can do greater miracles for us. When Jesus seemed to be late for Lazarus, He knew God was going to do something greater than anyone thought. Faith is not knowing the outcome, but trusting the one who does know. You will see your miracle, if you believe.

!! Sorry about sound issues with our podcast today !! -- Many situations in life, what you see and what God sees are not the same. Many times God is doing the work in areas you can't see, and the end it is better than we dreamed. It is not what it looks like to us. What looks like sickness, isolation, defeat, weakness, punishment. Heaven says health, redemption, victory, strength, life.

We are equipped as individuals, but we are also equipped as a church when we all come together. Jesus has give the church gifts, the Spirit has given the church gifts, but we all fit together as a church family when we each do our part. The Lord equips His church.

When God calls you He equips you. But God will rarely equip you with all you need at the beginning. When God supplies He is usually not early, but He is never too late. In the story of Abraham and Isaac we see how Abraham's obedience and faith released great blessing. And we also see the a beautiful picture of God offering His own Son on the cross.
