Guest speaker Pastor Tim Dilena from Brooklyn Tabernacle continues our Life Workshop "The Empowered People of God" looking at the life of Abram. In his life, we see that it is faithfulness in the small things that often leads to the release of God's full calling on your life.

 God is big enough to handle all of our problems. There is nothing too difficult for Him. God spoke the universe into existence and He is still speaking today. The God of creation is available to meet every one of our needs, from the biggest to the smallest. GOD IS THE ANSWER!!
 

When we experience deep troubles, the enemy will tempt us to focus on our problems until our situation looks so big and God becomes so small. When we go through these times we must get into the word of God and meditate on all the benefits that we have in Jesus Christ. As we consider all that He has done for us we will quickly be reminded of His miraculous provision and faithfulness.
 

There are forces of Satan, the world, and our flesh that cry out to us and tempt us to make choices against God. Satan has a plan for our lives and he is out to destroy us. There is another voice that cries out to us. This is the voice of the Holy Spirit sent by God to teach us His will and His ways. God has a plan for our lives and every choice we make can lead us closer to Him or draw us away from Him. Basically every decision we make is either for God or against God. What will you choose?

If God can have all of you to Himself then God can use you to be spent for His kingdom. God bought us with His own blood and He stamped His image on us so we can show others who He is. He is calling us to yield all of our talents and gifts for His glory. The great struggle is with the heart that is not willing to surrender to His purposes and plans. If you are in a struggle God will wait until you come to the end of yourself and then be there to pick you up and empower you to do His will.

Jesus is the answer to every problem and every situation. We don’t have to look anywhere else. He has everything under control. The answer is not in relationships, it is not in success, it is not in riches and whatever else we try to find fulfillment in. After you have tried everything and realize nothing can satisfy, turn to Jesus because He is ALL WE WILL EVER NEED.

This message is a call to break through the darkness through the POWER of PRAYER. In turbulent times like these, God does not want us to be shaken with fear and discouragement. Hard times will not take us under when we put our trust in Jesus. It's time to seek the Lord with all our heart and lay aside every weight so we can combat the darkness. Our source is God and He will reveal His greatness and pour out His Spirit on all flesh.

We have an incredible relationship with God our Father. Our Father is powerful beyond description. There is a deep desire in the heart of God for us to be intimate with Him. He is a Father of forgiveness and peace. There was never a time that we were not in the heart of God. His love for us is an ever lasting love.

God wants to take from you the spirit of heaviness and give you the garment of praise. This is the ministry of Jesus Christ. Praise is important and vital because it places God in the right perspective. Heaviness comes when we put our problems in the place of God. God deserves all of our praise! On a good day or bad day He still deserves the praise. He earned it and died for it. Praise lifts us up into the supernatural and gives us the victory over all the powers of darkness.
