In Kingdom Living Tomorrow Never Dies

The Kingdom always gives you a FUTURE

Mistakes cannot remove your future—

The Kingdom of God will rectify your mistakes

The Kingdom will show you who you are and

It will not allow you to be religious

Jesus knew moments of darkness in his life

We will have moment of darkness in our life

Darkness means ‘growth’—

In Garden of Gethsemane Jesus realized

The awful type of death that he would suffer—

He knew that the physical pain would be terrible

He would carry our ‘sins while he was on that cross’

In the Garden, he prayed to his Father. He said, ‘If it is possible, do not let me suffer this death.’ (Luke 22:41-46.)

Believers today, at some time will have periods of spiritual darkness

They will display clouds of doubt—

Sometime they will experience an eclipse

The Bible states, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day’ for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:11-12

Many saints never doubt that God is real

However many saints at times doubt HIS SOVEREIGNTY

Many at times feel that God is unfair—

They feel that God has not worked in

The way that they hoped or planned

Jeremiah in the Bible was concentrating on the people’s ‘return’ to God

However, God said to him, ‘If you return, then you can serve me’ (15:4)—

Jeremiah was full of pain and despair—

Our Heavenly FATHER reminded Jeremiah about his job

Jeremiah must help people to change—

He must not change and become like the people (15:19b)

Jeremiah’s job was going to be very hard

But God encouraged him—

Jeremiah had doubts— He was suffering very much

Sometimes we forget what God has said to us—

We then need to read it again—and believe

Our lives may be hard

But we must trust in his promises—

They do not change (Read 1 Peter 1:4; Joshua 21:45; 23:14; 1 Kings 8:56 and Numbers 23:19.)

AT times you may not be sure that prayer is worthwhile—

But you must still pray and lay it before him—[even in anger]

Even at his worst times, Jeremiah continued to pray—

Sometimes it seemed that he only complained to God

But he continued to pray—nothing stopped him

(Jeremiah 12:1-3; 15:15; 17:14 and 20:7-12)

Jeremiah prayed clearly and in an honest way
