these Danish people are new friends of ours here and yeah they represent Denmark Norway and the Pharaoh Islands maybe even more I don't know and you are they coming every morning my goodness okay so um yesterday I spoke a little bit about I I hope I was not too rude with you yesterday I'm not a rude person okay you like it right yeah I you that's why you here you love it yes okay you will have more just be yourself exactly and everything God has made me to be asked me to be so I went a little bit into that I spoke about realities I will drop that and we don't I don't have time to that I have to stick to the plan for this year and keep the rest for next year 2025 but what I want to do this morning is to walk with God and I know people who have walked with me for some years they have heard me speak about that millions of times but I think that we have to come back to that all the time I think we have preached too many sermons and have not preached the same one long enough or many times enough because we think we got it and we maybe maybe we did maybe we didn't get it and um but I I want to focus on four issues regarding Walking with God so I will stick to that I will not go through the whole thing about walking with God if you are not if you don't know him or you don't walk with him please have a beginning and have a good beginning strong beginning okay so the four things I want to address today number one is the difference between life and journey okay the difference between life and journey we have a life right that's what you hear but there is something called The Journey Journey with God walking with him and you can have a nice cute and lame Christian Life boring useless Christian Life and having no Journey at all just looking forward to get out of here and join the angels in heaven if that's your dream good luck with that second issue will be the issue of continuation I spoke a little bit about that in Romania recently and I call it continuation without deviation I like that the issue of continuation the third issue will be the dangerousness of the journey okay I hope I can do it uh and the fourth one will be four dimensions of the journey the walk with God your walk with God my walk with God so that's that's the agenda for if not only this morning then tonight as well all right so life and journey I have come to realize that our human existence is made of yes have a seat okay good our human existence have these has these two Dimensions our life our human life everybody has a life if you are born even you didn't want to be born you didn't have the choice suddenly you were there alive and um so we all have a life being a Christian or Hindu or an atheist or whatever you are uh if you have a life you have a life you didn't ask for it you got it it's a gift from God and it has to be meaningful and the meaningfulness of Life sometime people say yeah we have to have a meaningful life thought about what is the meaning of life I believe the meaning of life is to be responsible I thought I believe so so anybody who has a life is expected to be responsible for that because it's a gift of God a precious gift of of God life can turn sour people can have a horrible painful childhood grow up in a dysfunctional family and all kinds of things things can happen these are the realities of life right later through the educational process can be tough times and I talk with some of you who are in that and there are Wars there are battles that struggles and and exams and expectations to you from the features and from uh friends and all that can be very tough and later in like later in life then as you get to work there will be expectations there will be also difficult passages Wars but God is in charge okay I said God is in charge and there is a journey so it's not just about life so life is made of time and locations and people and circumstances and coincidences and consequences of our decisions or lack of decision by the way achievements our professional achievements and um work mindsets activities all that is our lives everybody has one okay but there is another dimension which is very very important and that's the dimension of the journey with God Walking with God so through birth you get alive you didn't ask for it is there and you have to be responsible because God will keep you responsible but when it comes to the journey is different the journey is intentional you're going to have a nice life Christian Life you can pray you can worship you can go to church 25 times a week if you want so probably only for a while so you can have all that and you can be your future in heaven can be safe because because heaven is a gift too and you have re if you have received it when you die I decided to stop saying go to heaven recently because who knows what heaven is I have no idea what heaven is the important thing is that God has decided to bring Heaven to Earth yes the rest up to him and I don't think Heaven is a geographical place somewhere in the Milky Way or beyond the Milky Way I don't care about that I'm 75 so but the Jour is important and the joury is intentional I heard this morning I saw a statement from A lady called Ayan H Ali I think the you know her from she has been a member of the Dutch Parliament she was raised a Muslim and then she became an atheist she turned away from Islam she became an atheist and recently she became a Christian and she had a statement this morning I don't know why it's saw that and she said convictions drives effort so when I said that the journey with God is intentional is something you have to decide you have to choose it and you have to make up your mind have a conviction and then you can put effort in it because it's a conviction from the inside you don't do it because the pastor told you you don't do it because you have been at the school of apostolic Reformation you do it because you want to do it I want to walk with him are you with me that's intentional and progress in your journey is based on your decisions because God has made made everything available and accessible for you all right so life is received and has to be managed in a responsible way a meaningful way but the journey you have have to intentionally join it and patiently establish it so it takes some efforts takes some work on your side but Pastor Philip I thought Jesus had done everything for me he had done everything which was necessary for you to do the rest all right everything has been made available there are unlimited sources of strength courage uh Integrity wisdom if you need wisdom please let me know because I'm generous and I will give it to you without reproach uh L of James okay so all that all what is necessary for a Godly life and progress is made accessible to us but we have to join it we have to step into it all right so that's a difference between the life and the journey life is a gift journey is God's call to know him to walk with him to work with him and to work with others who are working with him as well okay and if you read through the the the the people through the Old Testament you know I I love the Old Testament I don't know why people don't are scared by it but you know God in the Old Testament is angry all the time and God in the New Testament he's he's nice gracious and forgiving there is only one God you have two Gods you have a problem only one God the same from eternity to Eternity he is both both just and compassionate I will come back to that later in the next things so if you go if you look at the lives of these people in the old Covenant even it was a limited Covenant we have a better Covenant through Christ you will see that they all had a life because they were born the parents decided to produce a child and which they did and then they had a life but at One Moment In Their human life in their course of Life something happened something thing kicked in God kicked in God showed up in their human life which was made of circumstances and people and wars and struggles and education and mistakes small ones big ones terrible ones from time to time God showed up because God loves mankind amen he's a loving father so he's interesting in our lives so God showed up in their lives and suddenly a journey with him began are you with me so you can have your life your human life Christian or non-Christian or half Christian or whatever on the way to heaven and it can be absolute he can be blessed and useless at the same time with no destination Just You Waiting for God to take you home to Heaven he might he will if you promise it he will but maybe you will sit on the very back row in heaven and you will see nothing you will hear the voices of the angels and so on be why why me you want to go to heaven here you are okay so I will show you a couple of examples where God really kicked in in their lives and this is what happens even today that people have a life they can have a blessed life they can had difficult life and suddenly one day God kicks in when he wants the way he wants and suddenly people sense something they catch something they can words are coming to them thoughts they had never thought be thought of before maybe dreams at night they have never dreamed maybe Reflections and considerations about the meaning of life or the purpose of life they have never been interested in that but suddenly something happens it's God working on that person in a wonderful way and then the journey can begin if the person steps in and say yeah I will seek that I will pursue that I have to know what is this my parents were not Christian my grandparents were not Christians but I can hear something thoughts are coming to me I will search that out are you with me okay so life is predict is unpredictable right life is unpredictable things happen good things happen bad things happen and the last years I think maybe seven eight nine I don't remember some years I sense the necessity to talk about the reality the reality of life because sometime as I said yesterday night very quickly that sometime we are especially Christians they are living in an unreal world it's not even virtual is beyond that and um but life is real and when life hits then we in pain can be education can be relationships can be profession can be work can be can be Health sometime sickness hit us or an accident or something happens and then but that's life life is unpredictable but we have to address it otherwise we live in a non-real world a Spooky World and nobody wants to join that world so don't try to evangelize anybody because they don't want that world keep it for yourself because there is another world and that's the the journey with God the walk with God which is Meaningful and purposeful amen because he's a good father he's a wonderful father so life is unpredictable what about the journey then the journey is carefully and purposefully designed by a loving father in Heaven let me repeat that that's a good one I have good ones from time to time life is unpredictable but the journey with God is carefully and purposefully designed by a loving and just Heavenly Father it removes the fear of death because even when human life comes to an end the journey continues yeah because God is eternal and something else is waiting for us after that don't dig into that let God handle that he's a perfect God okay so there are some differences between life and the journey and I think God really calls people both non-believers but also Christians to be part of his journey and walk with him and I think there are too few when I talk with Christians sometime I'm thinking I've been there and thank God I'm not there anymore just having a blessed life a happy life and calling Heavenly 911 when I'm in trouble and after he helped me I drop him again until next time I need him then I call him again and he's so wonderful so he comes forgives me and and sings worship songs for me and sends a couple of angels to help me get out of my misery and after I'm out of misery then I leave him again that's on of is not okay that's not a walk all right that's not a walk this is not God's purpose for our lives God has a purpose of walking with him walking seriously with him in Matthew chapter 6 Matthew chapter 6 and if you read the book of Psalms written by David and David had a life and it it from time to it was a good love then it was a terrible love then it was good again and it was terrible again he was was in pain then he was in Joy he was dancing then he was devastated but through all that the joury continued so well that in Matthew 1:1 which is the chapter of genealogy of Jesus the Bible says Jesus is a son of David what about that and Son of Abraham what about that lineage so even they had normal lives normal human lives the journey went on and on and on even there were also times and centuries and decades where God was silence When Heaven was closed but then God kicked in again because God will not let go I said God will not let go of the earth of the nations of your nation of your life of your church of your children or your children's children God will not let go God will kick in again and again and give us a new chance to to redefine ourselves and rejoin the walk in Matthew 6 chapter 6 seven Matthew 7 I will write the manual about Matthew 56 and 7 because I think we have missed it we have missed the point I will at least contribute to a better understanding of that not everyone verse 21 not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven but the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven and the doing is a continuous doing is not woo I did my job today I had that old lady cross the road or um I feed the birds I feed the birds but doing the will of my father who is in heaven on that day many will say to me Lord Lord that's Christians that people who love him and and and so on did we not prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name and do many mighty works in your name then I will then will I declared to them I never knew you interesting statement because God knows all the sparrows of the world and all the lies of the valley why does he say I don't know you because knowing has to do with walking so these people believe in him these people in a certain way on a certain level also represented him with spiritual giftings with superatural happenings God used them but even they were blessed and they were were productive in the Supernatural God did not know them because they did not walk with him and the next thing he says depart from me which is quite rude in a way so don't think Jesus was just you know sweet and nice and so on and depart from me you workers of lawlessness interesting word because we think woo lowless what is Works workers of lawlessness is people who have not walked with him in such a way that certain laws and structures have been built in their lives they're just on off if you are on off nothing is built if you go to high school or university and you are on off every second week you're there every second week you're not there just forget your diploma and if you don't pass don't say why me God because you're an idiot as simple as that so so here workers of lawlessness so there was a there was a lawlessness they didn't know but I'm not I'm not under the law I am under the Christ yeah but there is a law of the Kingdom there is a law of Christ yeah that's why that's why this is what I pursue with everything inside of me to educate a distinctive generation build something in them which will sustain them without 911 neither from Heaven Nor from the church they can sustain themselves in God because God sustains them they walk with him in such a way truth comes into their lives wisdom comes and then they work on that establish it build it well not on hay and straw but on gold and silver everyone must look after how he builds that's the words of Paul are you listening to me so here these workers OFW lawlessness is people who are is Christians who are Lawless and they are Lawless because they don't walk with him in a consistent way through Good Seasons and Bad season they go through storms they are all we and they are they feel hopeless sometime they call me in the middle of the night and that's okay welcome to life but after that go back to your horse on the horse again let the Jo Life Is Life but life should not affect your journey your journey with him should affect your life because the journey is powerful because he is in charge of the journey you partner with him you walk with him all right yeah so don't be Lawless believer walk with him in a consistent way that's why we talk about about the issue of continuation because I think is very is in due time we address that seriously all right uh let me see Deborah the lady who was a judge and receiving receiving the people and try to settle issues of life for people she was at work she went to work every morning work hard helping people overcome crisis and and clashes and difficulties maybe family maybe the children maybe finances maybe divorce whatever noral issues of Life sickness or bankruptcy but one day something happened to her something kicked in she realized let's go to the Book of Judges I am in love with these people it's okay to say I'm in love with Deborah is that okay it's not inappropriate yes so in ch in Judes chapter 4:4 now Deborah prophetes the wife of lapidos was judging Israel at that time she was busy she was a lawyer she was at work all right go to work Deborah and people came to her for judgment but one day verse six she sent and summon Barack the son of abin Noam from Kadesh Na and said to name has not the Lord the god of Israel commanded you go gather your men at Mount Tabor taking 10,000 from the people of nathali and the people of Zebulon and I will draw out cisar the general of jabin's army to meet you by the revocation with his chariots and his truth and I will give him into your hand something happened to her she was there judging under that tree people came to her family after family hour after hour week after week after week after week but suddenly one day she remembered God has said something so she addressed the king and she said to me said to him what is going on or maybe better what is what should go on not going on so she summoned him because she understand it's not about only me going to work it's not only about the king going to to work every morning and meeting officials and and Architects and and University professors and nurses and all that there is a journey going on and he started with Abraham and he's going on and going on and going and now we're here Barak Barak wake up we here and God has said you should do something about it why are you not doing anything about it are you with me that's how how serious it becomes when you understand that God has a journey for you not only a blessed life with you know financial prosperity and professional promotion and all that is nice actually it's very nice good salary raise from time to time nice family Good Children Well educated doing well and you kiss them good night and you go on a holiday with them and or that's normal life but there is a journey going on which has started before you were born because before you were born God had thoughts for you he had a journey for you he had a walk accurately designed for you all right so here something happened and this lady really goes for the king I like that I will come back to that okay so that's the Bor Gideon in Judges chapter 6 I think um the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord so that's life bad life rebellious turn their back to God and so on and then they had to to be they came under pressure for seven years seven bad years difficult years stretching high pressure there were thieves the midianites were thieves whenever the Israelite planted crops the midianites and the amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them that's verse three verse4 the would encamp against them and Devo the produce of the land as far as Gaza and leave no sustenance in Israel or no sheep or ox or donkey for they would come up with the in verse six and Israel was brought very low because of median that's the situation that's the reality of the national situation all right then the people of Israel cried out for help to the Lord as we do when we are in deep deep yogurt then God is there for us when the people cried that then God sent a prophet and the prophet spoke to them but it did not change anything so yeah we need prophetic words we need prophetic help but it takes more than that it takes a walk because you can gather 252 prophetic words in your Bible so your Bible is three times the normal size but if you don't walk with him you are still a lawless believer so Prophet came the prophet went they didn't do anything but in the what is called The Wine Press there was a highly frustrated young man because he had listened to the words he had listened to the words of the Prophet so he knew we have a difficult situation we under high pressure they steal everything from us our they seal the harest first and they leave us on a very low place but he knew because God has spoken there is a journey somewhere and we should come back to that Journey we should reconnect with that journey of God for us so he was frustrated all right verse 12 the angel of God appeared to him and said to him the Lord is with you you know sometime God is very happy with our frustrations because sometime we should be frustrated instead of just being useless and going nowhere with our lives maybe sometime we should be extremely frustrated and God will read that God will see that in our heart that there is a there is a longing there is a desire God it cannot be the end it cannot be all you must talk to me and the Lord said the Lord is with you my man of God said to him please sir if the Lord was with us why then all this has happened to us he spoke about life but he knew because he heard the prophet that there was more than life that even all that happens God is in charge God is bigger than the biggest yeah yeah God is higher the med than the median as he can fix the milonair anytime if he can walk if he can find somebody who wants to walk with him and here there was somebody there the Lord turned to him and you know the rest of the story I'm sure and he did it my goodness I say he did it you yeah later in the same Book of Judges not in the Book of Judges the whole book of Jud come to an end and and the situation of is at the end of the Book of Judges is exactly the same as at the beginning so even they had all the prophets they had all the all the Giants all the heroes all the muscles Samson and all these aome people Personalities in the Kingdom the nation as a whole had not moved one millimeter not one nothing at all they were in the same place as in Judges chapter 1 verse one so God had to do something because God will not let go God loves the Earth God loved the nation God loves you he will not let you go you will continue to hear his voice calling you join me I have a journey for you you you you have there is more than just a life there is more than just marriage and have children I mean it's wonderful to be to get married yeah no you don't agree okay am I talking with the right people yeah I mean the the the the dating the process of dating and the wedding ceremony and the wedding night and the honeymoon all that Mia is really God you are you are so good to me please continue to bless me yeah yeah yeah let's talk about the the journey now this's be raise children the first child oh awesome then the first night kick in and who made this [Laughter] child where did he come from look at you honey it's you and she and she and you he and she I have to be careful with that today he and she you know men can become pregnant in nowaday I don't know what how that happens may be some something for the doctors all right so it comes to the book of Samuel C the nation has not changed God is still in charge God Is Bigger what did he do he found listen to me he found one couple barent couple and he decided I will go with them God is awesome you think he could find a new Samson you know with going to the gym you know 10 times a week and so on or debor new debor or Gideon you know version 2.0 no drop all that he knew personalities will not do it I have to find somebody with the right mindsets and Hannah had it because she went to the temple year after year after year after year and she did not let go and if you read chapter 2 in 1 Samuel you will know that she was fully aware that God had a journey for the nation because she didn't say thank you God for Samuel you're awesome let's raise him and bless him and he will serve you and whatever maybe he'll be a song leader in the church or a deacon or whatever none of it her worship her talk with God Is So loaded with a journey understanding you can have a go and read it I don't even call the prayer of Hannah is more than the prayer that woman touched Heaven just without knowing just touched heaven and God was there and her son was Samuel and Samuel turned the whole nation back to the journey can you believe it God can do anything any anytime with whoever he wants and whoever who whoever intentionally and purposefully pursue the journey God has designed for them whoa okay so are you catching this so there is a life and there is a journey when I speak spoke this message in Mongolia I think it was in 2021 and um I spoke about that and what triggered it was a specific situation in the life of Samuel which is I think it's in 1 Samuel it's in 1st Samuel 12 and the situation goes like this God did not want them to have a king God had another plan for them that's why I said the journey is already designed it's not you you you you shape your life that's your responsibility the journey is his everything is welld designed for you you cannot even think of it is so much better than your wildest dreams so have a walk with him all right so God didn't want didn't want them to have a king but they wanted a king so God said okay okay okay you will have a king and I will show you a little bit What will what will be the consequences of your choice of your wrong choice you will like it but you will suffer because of that so they went for that and soul became king and um and then they realized their mistakes all right so they came back to Samuel who was still alive he was an old man and they have rejected him and they said to him you know you are old you know what wrong with that basically you know so you are old and your children your sons don't walk after you so you know what about doing having the journey other nations have you know seems to be good to us God has something special for us so so God said to Samuel Samuel don't be depressed they don't reject you they reject me I will I will I will find out what I will do about that so Samuel then they came and asked forgiveness and talk with them then he said some very interesting things to them he said to them in 1st Samuel 12 say with me no Samuel said to the people verse 20 so they had repented they recognized we left the journey we have a life and God must help us and we are sorry we are so so so sorry stop being sorry do something about it that's my words verse 20 and S said to the people do not be afraid you have done all this evil that's what I would call constructive confrontation and we need that from time to time we need God to speak out and say honey sweet nice all that this was not okay all right so you have done all this yet do not turn aside from following the Lord why because there is a journey going on which has been going on for years you are just now in this passage of that Journey Kingdom Journey do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver for they are empty for the Lord will not forsake his people yeah God's compassion he just he said evil is evil period at the same time I will help you watch me for his great name's sake because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself so God has been working on that since the days of Abraham moreover then he comes moreover as for me Samuel far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you why did he say that because Samuel knew even they are in a mess and they did evil stuff I will continue to pray for them because God has a journey who am I to stop supporting them when there is a journey going the journey is in deep crisis right now but God is in charge he will be compassionate he will bring them back and I will continue to pray for you and I will instruct you in the good and the right way education must go on because education is is the base for consistency I will come back to that later only fear the lord and and serve him Faithfully with all your heart for consider what great thing he has done for you but if you still do wickedly you will be swept away both you and your king woo I like that I like that cocktail of righteousness and compassion that's one God there are not two Gods there one God so he make things he made things very serious for them if you blew it again you will see you will have the consequences of your choices because not taking a choice is making a choice okay when I saw that I said to myself and I was in Mongolia that time I said to myself whoa I want to be like Samuel I want that Clarity I mean the men could have depressed the rest of his life disappointed deep disappointments he worked so hard saved them rescued them did everything for them there were days where his words went all the way to the borders of the nation none of his word fell to the ground what a life what a privilege to be a nation led by such a man of integrity and dignity and Stat but here not a nanogram of disappointment or bitterness or or anger because Samuel could Samuel could be dangerous yeah you remember what he did to King AAG you don't no you didn't watch that movie okay is in the Bible Ned Bible flicks God asked soul to terminate AAG so did not so Samuel corrected Saul and then he said bring aak to me you know what happened you know what happened he cut him in pieces welcome to samul life I will come back to that issue of dangerousness a little bit later 10 minutes pH it keep moving so are you still with me so that's the difference between life and journey there is a calling nowadays to all of us you need more than a blessed life in a successful life in a prosperous life sometime I even said to some young people who are doing very well don't shine stay under the rder keep working work hard stay under the rder let God Elevate you yeah then everybody will rein your life okay so just stay calm do well work well with him build structure spiritual structure in your life be spiritually educated so there is a consistency going on continuation going on all right what was the next one I don't remember it was the issue of continuation all right are you ready for that let's get started has been something which has run through my mind the last year actually you know um we used to ask God for the word of the year and we stopped that now we have a word for the next 25 years so I don't have to seek God for a word for every year there is one word and the word is out there in the lobby and it says continue then period yeah continue every first January the word for this war is continue yeah continue keep going keep walking keep navigating keep going through the storms maybe you go into a harbor then back to the high waters and continue your journey with him so continuation is will be a key word so sometime I talk with some people some of sons and daughters or others are mentoring and one of my role is to tell them just keep walking I remember that song at fgc with Toby Mack keep walking Soldier keep moving on that's that's the word for the next years I believe so there must be a continuation and when Jesus had these clashes with the Pharisees in John John between John 5 and and then John 8 all the way to John 10 there is these clashes with the Pharisees why the clashes because they had not continued they were good people they believed the Torah they knew about Abraham they said we are the children of abrah what is wrong with us nothing is wrong with you but where did I where did I miss you where did I lose you in this journey and there so there was this clashes a tree is called to grow Psalm number one grass has to grow up amen the seed has to develop your life has to grow you have to grow so there is a continuation God loves continuation so I will call you this week God will call you to continue if you've left the walk then run back to him yeah okay what is the purpose of continuation let me give you some of the things I have thought of continuation will take you from childishness to adulthood children give up adults don't right yeah so it will help you to upgrade your life and move from childhood to adulthood there is nothing more embarrassing that than childish adults the wives are embarrassed the husbands embarrassed their children are embarrassed they don't know them they don't they don't dare to invite their friends home because oh my what will happen so it's embarrassing and I believe God is also embarrassed by our lives from time he has been embarrassed by my life for decades but he was compassionate and helped me [Music] to to be confronted in a constructive way and God didn't give up on me which saved me brought me back back to the journey save our family as well and um so one of the purpose of continuation is he takes you from childhood to adulthood so you have to welcome you have to continue yeah but Pastor Philip is difficult if you knew my life I don't care about your life I have my own life that's enough for me you are responsible for yours make sure you continue God is there God is accessible you have the Bible he's your father Jesus is there the Holy Spirit have Supernatural resources of insight and wisdom and discernment and faith and all your Miracles and all that you need you are respons you make sure you walk with him if you don't walk with him it is your decision and I can promise you one thing is you will stay a child and if you stay a child you are useless in the Kingdom can I repeat that if you stay child you are useless less you are blessed a blessed child God will kiss you good night give you sweet dreams about angels you will hear the hearts of the angels and and that's it basically so have a life with that but some of us we cannot live with that so welcome adulthood that will stretch you that will put demands on you that's why some people leave church don't put any demands who are you to put demands on me okay good luck then but adulthood responsibility and and and purpose in life puts demands on you if you don't want that don't marry leave woman alone leave young men alone leave them alone don't just have your life and move to an island and and entertain yourself and wash the whales and whatever take pictures selfies there because if you if you want maturity that cost something it put demands on you you better grow up if you want an education you better grow up otherwise you will no I will not say that okay so that's one purpose I have to move on I have a lot here it will take you it will bring Clarity and definition in your life it will bring more clarity and definition in your life because when we start the work we are happy and we're excited and we we are all over the place and we are on God's dancing FL and we are and and all that but then the demands come then God's requirements come because God has requirements why should he entrust you with important assignments affecting lives human lives precious lives community family Nation a job an important job why should you he UST you with that if you still are a child and unclear and all over the place okay so continuation will bring will minister to you bring more clarity more definition are you with me we need that I say we need that Jesus was always clear even he went through terrible times I saw yesterday that there was a place where they were really they had murder in the eyes and the Bible says he HD himself can you believe it like this storm is too heavy for me even he HD himself but you know what he continued the journey and finished the journey for you and I he he's somebody to put it that way so we need Clarity we need definition otherwise we will mess up up and um yeah got a thought I believe continuation will if you continue well consistently you will qualify for a Next Generation in life in human life there is no qualifications to have baby you just have to do what you have to do I will not go into that but when it comes to the journey and reproducing because you can only reproduce a walk all right you can reproduce what you have learned you can reproduce the mindset you can you can develop a legacy for your spiritual Sons and Daughters if you don't have that God will not let you reproduce because he does not need another one like you I'm a I'm a too root for you no there are qualifications for Spiritual repr reproduction if you think if you try to gather sons and daughters and your life is a mess God will stop it down the line said please please please don't just breathe in breathe out stay on go on H holiday with your life hold her hand but don't don't have children okay so I think continuation brings also brings us to a place where God vindicates our walk and say whoa I want more of these type of lives I want more people we having that Kingdom mindset and that structure solid structure and coherence in the walk with me consistency big mistakes yeah we do mistakes my goodness but then we repent and say God I'm I'm so sorry help me to not do that again all right let me give another one what do I have three minutes okay continuation will help you to handle setbacks from which from which you will recover as we continue to work with him certain things will develop in our lives certain things will become become stronger certain things will will decline maybe they have to decline because we have to get rid of certain things somebody has said that it's easy to do something it's difficult to undo something so in that walk with him as we get stronger more defined well defined after the laws of the kingdom and so on learning from him hearing his voice and all that then when we when we have I don't say if we have said we will have said back we have Bad season where we think oh my God how how could I do that but then because you work well with him and you have let him build that inside of you said to recover the recovery from such setbacks is doable it's doable you can recover yeah oh if you knew my I don't need to know your life but I know God is God will not let you go he has a journey for you and if you let him if you walk with him in such a way that you let him build some structure and some values into your life and some Spirit um whatever it is into your life even when you have a setback even serious setbacks he will give you the grace to recover from that I mean you canot read the old Covenant without finding out that these people had really really nasty times where they really really blew it some of them were murderers I mean Moses was a murderer David was a first deegree murderer and but they they recovered amen amen are you are you with me so such that's the purpose of continuation it educates us and strengthens us and teaches us how to recover yeah next one and then we'll have a break the continuation of our work will help us to handle the past help us to handle the past some of us we have a bad past complicated or harmful and uh some of us have a good P who have been privileged and protected by God's grace and by righteous parents Godly Parents but we have to learn how to handle the past because the past can follow us and affect and cast Long Dark Shadows on our journey and we have to bring it to an end I said we have to yeah because it will be something we carry with us and we should not carry the part we should carry the assignment you are you with me let me add one footnote to this sometime we think sometime we say like this because it's in the Bible we have to remember all the great works God has done for us okay then I had a problem with that because we cannot remember everything the Bible says that if if the Bible had to contain everything God has done there will not be books enough in the whole world to tell us about it but how can we remember it's not it's not a memory issue has not what about getting old and your memory goes down and you remember less and less and who are you and who am I it's not about memory what it means is that you have to extract things from your from your walk with him and his walk with you extract that out of your past and use it for the present and the future it's not remembering every detail yeah oh yeah I had that and as St on a banana skin and I fa to hurt myself and God pro provided for me all that is details in life is not interesting but if you can extract some some some learning from that some patterns from that and use that for your progress in the present and the future then you remember his goodness towards you are you with me so so what did I say I say bring brings clarity uh takes you from childhood to adulthood if you work well of course you can recover God will help you to recover from setbacks in your life and also handle the past we take a break listen
