Jun 16 – A Journey Through Acts, Pt 11 – Be Confident and Don’t Give in When the Hard Times Come
The main idea we’re going to explore today is this: Be confident and don’t give in when hard times come. That sounds all well and good...but how do we avoid giving in to the hard times? We need to be proactive, prayerful and prepared. First we’ll look at three ways to be proactive. Then we’ll talk about three requests we should make of God. And lastly we’ll discover three ways to prepare for what God will in our lives. Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

The Fellowship of the Unashamed
“I’m a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I’m a disciple of His and I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I’m done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity.
I don’t have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer and labor by Holy Spirit power. My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear. I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won’t give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He’ll have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear!”
