Subject: ENDURE THE PROCESS
Scripture Focus: Jeremiah 32: 1 - 17 and vs 27
Introduction:
There are many times we fall into problems in life and FORGET that God is still ALL POWERFUL! Still ALL MIGHTY! Still ALL TRUE! This happens ever so often in many of our lives, but we want to shift the gear today - change our focus today.
We're shifting from a forgetful and depressed mindset to an ENDURANCE MINDSET - to an I'LL MAKE IT MIND SET - to a NOTHING CAN STOP ME MINDSET!
You have JESUS on your side!
When Daniel was in the lion's den, he didn't give up. HE ENDURED THE PROCESS!
When Paul and Silas were thrown into prison and bound by chains - they didn't give up. THEY ENDURED THE PROCESS!
When Moses was leading his people out, despite their negative words and ungrateful spirit, he NEVER gave up. HE ENDURED THE PROCESS!
When Joshua and Caleb went to have a look over at The Promised Land, despite all others said they were not able to possess it, the two young men came back with a POSITIVE word, they knew they could HE ENDURED THE PROCESS and they exclaimed in Numbers 32:11-12 - WE ARE WELL ABLE!
Because these two ENDURED THE PROCESS - THEY WERE VICTORIOUS
PROCESS LEADS TO PURPOSE!
Let's look at a few stories of modern day individuals
1. HENRY FORD: While Ford is today known for his innovative assembly line and American-made cars, he wasn't an instant success. In fact, his early businesses FAILED and left him broke FIVE TIMES before he founded the successful FORD MOTOR COMPANY
2. R. H. Macy: Most people are familiar with this large department store chain, but Macy didn't always have it easy. Macy started SEVEN FAILED BUSINESSES before finally hitting big with his store in New York City
3. Bill Gates: Gates didn't seem like a shoe-in-for success after dropping out of HARVARD and starting a failed first business with Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen called Traf-O-Data. While this early idea didn't work, Gates' later work did, creating the global empire that is MICROSOFT.
4. Walt Disney: Today, Disney rakes in billions from merchandise, movies, theme parks around the world, but Walt Disney himself had a bit of a rough start. He was fired by a newspaper editor because, "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." After that, Disney started a number of businesses that didn't last too long and ended with bankruptcy and failure. He kept PLUGGING along, however, and eventually found a recipe for success that worked.
5. Thomas Edison: In his early years, teachers told Edison he was "too stupid to learn anything." Work was no better, as he was fired from his first two jobs for not being productive enough. Even as an inventor, Edison made 1000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Of course, all those unsuccessful attempts finally resulted in the design that worked.
Most importantly though, JESUS ENDURED THE PROCESS AND CAME OUT VICTORIOUS GIVING US A REASON TO LIVE ON AND HOPE ON TODAY!
Let's make this morning a morning where we shift our MINDSET and ENDURE!
POINT 1: FEEL THE POWER OF GOD
Jeremiah 32: 17: Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is NOTHING too hard for thee:
Jeremiah 32: 27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
Jeremiah extols God's Creative Power
He gives GOD all the praise and glory that is due to him.
I'm positive that Jeremiah was indeed admiring God's handiwork when he created this world.
The birds of the air
The fish of the sea
The heavens
The earth
And all mankind
The Prophet Jeremiah recognized that he was unworthy when compared to GOD, therefore he humbled himself on his part as a man.
God answers Jeremiah in the book of Jeremiah 32: 27 - he asks the prophet - TOO HARD? TOO HARD?
FEEL THE POWER OF GOD
God's response is direct to Jeremiah and his prayer
His reply exactly accords with Jeremiah's Prayer: Is there anything too hard for me?
God does not say that there is nothing too hard for him the book of JEREMIAH ONLY.
He previously says so in Genesis 18: 14 and later in the Bible in Zechariah 8:6 and Luke 1:37
In Genesis 18: 14 - Sarah laughed and refused to believe that she would have a son but GOD SAYS AGAIN: Is there any thing too hard for the LORD?
In Zechariah 8: 6 - He shows in what our faith consists, that is, to believe that GOD CAN perform that which he has promised, though it seem ever so impossible to man.
In Luke 1: 377 - For with God NOTHING shall be impossible (I do believe that passage of scripture speaks for itself and need not be explained - THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD!
What an encouraging question: IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?" Our family troubles, cares and needs are not beyond the power and wisdom of our heavenly father. Let us not despair, but in faith, cast our burdens upon him.
Young people, we have too many things weighing us down - GOD SPOKE THOUGH THE APOSTLE PETER IN
1st Peter 5: 7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Don't give up now - ENDURE THE PROCESS - VICTORY IS AHEAD
