"There's No Hope, I don't want this anymore, I don't want you anymore, I just want a new life and this marriage isn't what I signed up for"
"JESUS" a man cries as the words of his wife strike a crushing blow
"It's inoperable and it's aggressive and we are at a loss of how to proceed" "Do you have things in order, do you have a will?"
"JESUS" "HELP" Troy, a husband and father of two cries out, Stage IV cancer is screaming his doom
Police lights fill the night air, Two officers walk somberly to the door...the door bell rings..a mom opens the blinds and terror fills her heart "Mam, we are so sorry" "NO JESUS NO" "not my mikey"
The telephone rings for what seems like the thousanth time, voice mail....."this is ABC Debt collector...we are needing status on the delinquent status of your mortgage payments. You are now 5 months behinds and have 30 days to pay or vacate the residence" "JESUS" cries out the desperate house wife, her husband drowning under the weight and pressure, she knows he can't bear up much longer to the strain of trying to provide...falling on her face she cries and cries "JESUS" "HELP"
Life's Storms are currently screaming all around us...SHOUTING our doom, they taunt ahead.
But our God is an awesome God and He has promised to be a very present Help in times of "trouble"
Hero's of our Faith, have experienced such times. My Spiritual Mother, use to say "Timmy, if you want the faith of Moses, you gotta be willing to experience what Moses experienced" He stood at an impossible situation that screamed hopelessness and death and defeat. He stood at a dead end staring at a sea of water that said you can go no further in your own strength and yet to turn around and go another direction meant he would be running right into a hate filled army that had no other intention than to destroy all those Moses had been put charge over. God Moved on Moses behalf and took him from impossible to salvation.
The Disciples found themselves in situation that to them was just as desperate. They were in a boat in a very stormy sea, a storm so big that they were sure they were going to die, while Jesus slept. In their desperate need they did a very smart thing...they "cried out" "JESUS"
We as God's children were never promised that we wouldn't encounter trials and tribulations way bigger than us, actually we told they would come but we were promised that Our God would Hear our Cry!!! In fact He said "be of good cheer for He has overcome this wicked world" He is our Victory and when we cry out to Him He meets us right where we are at and leads us through each storm ...even through the valley of the shadow of death.
Many today cry out, but when they do, their cry takes them to black market pharmacy or the liquor store or Oprah or Dr Phil. To a strange relationship outside a marriage, to this friend or that psychic or their favorite bar
But, if there was ever a time to come to this truth, it's now. There is no other name under heaven given unto us that by which we can be saved than JESUS. For whoever calls upon the Name of Jesus shall be saved!
If your that spouse who's heard those destructive words of "I want a divorce" and felt so rejected and scarred. I have great news, when you cry out to JESUS, He will not reject You. He will come alongside and work with you and heal you and set you free from all that hurt and rejection. He will arise within you to bring forgiveness in place of bitterness.
If you've been a parent that has suffered such a terrible tragedy as to lose a child, when You cry out to JESUS, He was a son that willfully gave His life so that when a time comes that a parent loses a child, that it's not an eternal loss but because of Jesus sacrifice we can have a blessed of hope of the greatest reunion of all time
If your one who has had a Dr come into a room with a grim face and terminable prognosis, you've stared death's taunt right in the face and now your crying out to JESUS and the Great Physician is on the scene. He's asking You, do you realize You've had a terminable prognosis before? Sin was screaming your demise from the moment you were conceived. You were born to die! But because of Your cry out to Me, You will not Perish but have everlasting Life. I am upholding you even now with my righteous right hand and You are going No where until I say so, and when you do go, it's only into My Loving Arms and Your Eternal Home.
If your that family that is being crushed with the weight of financial debt and bill collectors are calling non stop and you feel as though you are going to drown in debt and despair. In Your Cry out to Jesus, You are calling upon the one of who owns it all! He has a financial plan that all the Wall Street big shots know nothing about and is willing to share His wisdom and guide your steps right out of that time by asking You to begin to "give all of yourself" to Him, even trusting to obediently give at a time the world says to hoard ...Jesus has a system that says when we begin to give ...He will make sure it's multiplied in some form or fashion and He will meet our every need as OUR PROVIDER!!
When we call upon Jesus, when we cry out ...He hears and He rescues and restores and renews and heals and redeems. I can testify to have been in many gut wrenching moments in my life, I'm going through one right now, but like so many of you, I'm here "crying out to Jesus" ....why? There is no where else to go, He alone has the words of Eternal Life, He alone is My Savior!! He's in the boat with us and He's about to speak into many life's stormy situations..."oh ye of little faith" "Peace Be Still"
This message is not to belittle our storms. No way, they are big and scary and way too big for all of us. But in reality, that is the safest of all places. A place of NO self reliance but total dependence upon THE ONLY ONE who upholds you even now!! He is the One who promised to Never leave us and Never forsake us.
"JESUS" I cry even now on behalf of all those who are in a stormy life situation and I ask that You be that Very Present Help in times of trouble to all who realize they NEED saving! Not just to heaven but to You every hour of every day!!
"I need thee oh I need thee, every hour I need thee, bless us now our Savior as we cry out to thee"
