Crisis

03/21/20 • 18 min

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad speaks about "Crisis." This message speaks to the Coronavirus Crisis. A crisis is an opportunity to see who Christ is, and is also a hidden opportunity. Nothing catches God by surprise. The story of Joseph examples this. Nothing causes us from what we are to do and be here on the earth. Joseph was attacked, but he had a dream -- and God sustained him through His plan. Fear is false evidence that appears real. Psalms 46 says, "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear ..." Nothing catches God by surprise. This is a time when God will visit His people afresh and anew. This is a time when we need to love and reach out to others. God wants to release joy into people during this time. God wants to speak to you during this time. The Holy Spirit is an available counselor. God will provide a way of escape so that you will be able to endure. Psalms 121 says, "I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth." Remember in this season how big God is. Your help comes from the Lord who made the earth. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Look to God and trust God and you will become stronger than you have ever been. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Unusual Provision From Unlikely Sources - Part 3

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor continues a teaching entitled "Unusual Provision From Unlikely Sources." One of the ways that God is going to provide unusual provision is through people speaking the word of the Lord to you. In the wilderness the Israelites learned that "man will not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God." Go back to the words that God has spoken to you in the past. 1 Thessalonians 5:18-20 says, "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies." Don't despise someone that begins to declare to you the word of the Lord. Test the word and hold fast to the word of the Lord. Timothy received prophesies and was instructed to listen to them in 1 Timothy 1:8. In terms of provision sent, we should not get used to usual ways that we receive it -- relying on men -- because God is the one who sends the provision. Pastor Brad teaches from 2 Kings 4, where Elisha helped a woman who had lost her husband by instructing her to collect empty vessels to fill with oil. This story shows an example of how God provides provision - miraculously. She received more than enough, a generational blessing - unusual provision. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Discovering Christ in a Crisis - Part 2

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues a message about "Discovering Christ in Crisis." A crisis is an opportunity to discover who Christ is - - Nothing catches God by surprise. Don't allow this crisis to make you not believe in the supernatural power of God. We can expect the ministries of angels in this time. There is a distraction at this time. Do not be distracted. Remember the words that God has spoken to you, "he who has ears will hear." Deuteronomy 8:1-4 says, “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply,and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers. And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord." Be aware of God and His voice. He is going to send provision that you would not expect (2 Timothy 1:3-7 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Timothy+1%3A3-7&version=NKJV). Get comfortable with faith, hope and the love of God. "stir up the gift of God that is within you." Fight this battle with the gifts of God that He has given you. Stir up your gift in this time. Discover Christ in this crisis. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com
