Take Me There
 
Philippians 4:7 KJV:
Verse 7: And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 
Philippians 4:6-7 MSG Bible:
Verse 6-7: Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. (*He already knows your heart, but he wants to hear it from your mouth for you to speak to him, have a conversation with him). Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces (*takes over or the position of worry) worry at the center of your life. (*He cares for our burdens and what is on our hearts. He wants “Jesus” to be the only one sitting on our hearts, not worry, so he displaces that worry).
 
*Peace that passes all understanding/ Only God can give you that type of peace/ Mind-blowing peace that the world cannot give you.
 
*Instead of worrying about the situation, pray/praise your way out of it/ read your Bible out of it/ sing out of it. 
 
Don’t be in that spiritual coma (Take action and get worry out of your mind).
 
*God’s wholeness comes in (God’s fulfillment comes in) Scripture says *Before we know it- That phrase Places a God’s timing on that situation not ours on the situation/ which means he will be there right on time for our circumstance.
 
John 11:39-40
 
Summary: Jesus was four days late in reaching Lazarus’s tomb in order to prevent death but he was on time to bring his resurrection power and answer the prayer of Mary and Martha.
*vs 40 MSG Bible
 
Jesus looked her in the eye. “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
 
*Church we only have to believe and we will see God’s glory on our situation!
 
*What you are going through right now is only temporary so embrace the season and know you can handle it.
 
*God never lets us go through things to destroy us but to make us stronger and to build in him.
 
Take Me There!
 
Lord take me there, where your peace and your love is overflowing.
 
*We can’t feel shame there
 
*We can’t feel disappointment there
 
*We don’t have chains of bondage there
 
*Let the glory of the Lord fall on me, take me there!
(Church all we have to do is believe and we will be there where the Glory of the Lord is)
Rain your glory upon us!! Take me there!!
 
*I want to know what it feels like when the Glory of the Lord falls on me completely, Lord take me there, take us there!
 
*We go through so much with life work and family, but God can take us there, where the peace passeth all understanding.
 
When You’re Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Isaiah43 MSG Bible
 
43 1-4 But now, God’s Message,
    the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,
    the One who got you started, Israel:
 
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.
    I’ve called your name. You’re mine. (You’re his Child)
 
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
    When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
 
When you’re between a rock and a hard place,
    it won’t be a dead end— (Church he will bring You OUT)
 
Because I am God, your personal God,
    The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
 
I paid a huge price for you: (He gave us Jesus his only son that died on the Cross for you and I so that you and 
 
I could be saved and live be with him forever)
    all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
 
That’s how much you mean to me!
    That’s how much I love you!
 
I’d sell off the whole world to get you back,
    trade the creation just for you. (He loves you that much)
 
5-7 “So don’t be afraid: I’m with you.
    I’ll round up all your scattered children, (He has got your lost children/ He’s got this/ your burden/ He’s got that situation)
    pull them in from east and west.
 
I’ll send orders north and south:
    ‘Send them back.
 
Return my sons from distant lands,
    my daughters from faraway places. (There is nobody not one person to far in sin that he can’t reach)
 
I want them back, every last one who bears my name,
    every man, woman, and child
 
Whom I created for my glory,
    yes, personally formed and made each one.’” (His desire is deep speaking of him wanting his children to be with him)
* * *
 
8-13 Get the blind and deaf out here and ready—
    the blind (though there’s nothing wrong with their eyes)
    and the deaf (though there’s nothing wrong with their ears).
 
Then get the other nations out here and ready.
    Let’s see what they have to say about this,
    how they account for what’s happened.
 
Let them present their expert witnesses
    and make their case;
    let them try to convince us what they say is true.
 
“But you are my witnesses.” God’s Decree.
    “You’re my handpicked servant (He handpicked you! He has chosen you. You’re the apple of his eye. He wants you)
 
So that you’ll come to know and trust me,
    understand both that I am and who I am.
 
Previous to me there was no such thing as a god,
    nor will there be after me. (He is the only True God! Only God that can give you the peace, love, and acceptance you are looking for)
 
I, yes I, am God.
    I’m the only Savior there is.
 
I spoke, I saved, I told you what existed
    long before these upstart gods appeared on the scene. (the little gods of this world tried to put their heads in on the situation but God was already working on the scene)
 
And you know it, you’re my witnesses,
    you’re the evidence.” God’s Decree.
 
“Yes, I am God.
    I’ve always been God
    and I always will be God.
 
No one can take anything from me.
 
   I make; who can unmake it?” (Nobody, not even Satan himself could not ever undo what God has done and spoke out of his mouth)
 
*It’s time to have that relationship with the only God that will always be!
 
*He’s got us Church! All of our situations, he’s got it all in his hands!
 
*We only have to believe to see the Glory on our situation.
 
Take Me There!!!
