Final Recap

That's it! This will be the last message in the series. We have covered so many golden nuggets in this series that we could actually continue 'recapping' for at least another week, but I am led to get us back to the Proverbs series. I pray this series has been a blessing to you.

Final review:

1. Surround yourself with the right people. Surrounding yourself with the right people can fuel your faith, because they will speak the language of faith around and agree with you in-faith when you need it. Surrounding yourself with the wrong people is dangerous, because many people are dream-killers; they are frustrated with their lives, so they will attempt to frustrate yours. So picking the right people to be with you, especially when the pressure is on, just might make the difference between overcoming and succumbing (see Mark 5:36,37).

2. The Father will meet you at your level of faith. Wherever level you are at today, weak or strong faith, He can meet you where you are. Ask Him to! (see Mark 5:41,42).

3. There is nothing too hard for God. Our heavenly Father is absolutely limitless and expanding our capacity to believe Him is the key to releasing Him to move I our lives. So remove whatever artificial limits you have placed on your limitless God and watch Him show up in your mightily! (see Mark 5:41,42).

4. Spend time at Jesus' feet. What's your issue? What you are dealing with? What is causing you stress, struggle, strain and strife? What is the thing that is keeping you up at night? This series is all about learning how to experience divine victory over negative stress and best place to start your journey towards victory is at the feet of Jesus! Powerful things happen at the Jesus' feet. Humble yourself, worship your Lord, fall at His feet, call on His name, acknowledge His power, reverence His throne, and you will find that He will meet you where you are. Whether you are up or down, at the end or your rope or on the top of the world, struggling or sailing, in faith or afraid, in hope or in despair, Jesus is available to you today and there is a great exchange that takes place at His feet. Spend some time at His feet today and He will impart into you all that you need to start experience His best life NOW! (see Mark 5:22 and 5:33).

5. God trusts you with it #1. Every human is tempted/tested so don't feel like you've been singled out. Everyone deals with internal temptations and external opposition (tests). But the key is realizing that the Father will not allow us to be overwhelmed. In other words, IF YOU ARE FACING IT, then GOD TRUSTS YOU WITH IT! Furthermore, the Word teaches us that resistance is possible and that there is always a way out. If you look for the way out you will find it and when you do you must have the fortitude to take the way out and choose not to continue in the path that leads to more bad harvests (see 1 Cor 10:13).

6. God trusts you with it #2. If we all have a breaking point (and I believe that we do) and the Father will ensure that we are not pushed beyond it (and I believe that He won't), then we must find comfort in knowing that if we are facing a challenge then it is evidence that we can handle it! In other words, if you are facing it, then the Father trusts you to be able to overcome it. If you couldn't take it, you would not be facing it, so if you are, then you can! So face it head-on, in faith, with full confidence in God and His Word, with an overcoming mentality, knowing that the Father trusts with it! (see 1 Cor 10:13).

Father, I acknowledge no other deity. I call on no other name. You alone sit on the circle of the earth. You alone have all things in and under control. You alone are the King of kings. You alone are the Lord of lords. I have only one Lord and His name is Jesus the Christ. Father, I have accepted Your Son as my Savior and Lord and I declare that I will spend time at His feet daily. At Jesus' feet I find peace. At Jesus' feet I experience Your power. At Jesus' feet I receive Your direction. At Jesus' feet I enjoy Your protection. At Jesus' feet I exchange my worries, cares and concerns for Your joy, love, and wisdom. I find victory over stress at Jesus' feet! I declare this by faith. In Jesus' name. Amen!
