Know that I am God
Psalm 46:1-11
The title of today's message is, "Know that I am God."
We are living a life of faith.
A life of faith is not a religious life.
Going to church is not a life of faith.
Putting Christianity as your religion on your resume does not mean that it is Christianity out of all religions.
The most important thing is to see the salvation that God has done.
As we go through life, we experience many different things.
They study, get married, have children and raise them, and engage in economic activities.
There are things that happen the way I want and wish, but as I live, there are many things that don't happen the way I want.
The common wish of all parents is for their children to live happily and successfully on this earth.
Parents' expectations can be anything when it comes to their children's success.
This morning, Deaconess Park Shin-ae said that Jun-sang will be enlisting in the military in March.
How heartbreaking it must be, Ji Sang.
Parents are the ones who can do anything for their children.
The heart of a parent is to want to give all good things to their children without holding back.
However, parents cannot be responsible for their children forever.
It is something that cannot make you happy.
You can give money, but you can't give life.
Wealth can be passed down through inheritance, but it cannot grant eternal life.
It cannot even stop Satan's attacks.
We cannot prevent disaster.
It can't even prevent disease.
As I have already said, faith is not an idea.
We can understand with our heads that God is alive and that God is omnipotent.
But faith is about entrusting.
Who will you entrust your life to?
Who can you entrust your beloved children to?
Wouldn't you rather leave it to someone you trust?
Aren't the easiest ones your parents?
Faith is about entrusting.
Why do you leave it to me?
Does the Lord claim all of our lives because He claims all of them?
Because he is our father.
Because they are his people and his sheep.
The reason we can leave everything to God is because He is responsible for our lives.
Why is raising children so hard? Why are our daily lives so difficult?
That's because I do it.
Yes, because I am the owner.
Yes, because I want to take responsibility.
But the Bible clearly says that my body is not mine, but the Lord's.
Our body is a temple.
Your children are not yours.
If it's yours, shouldn't you be responsible for it?
Children are a heritage from Jehovah.
God has entrusted your children to you.
What I own is not mine.
Please don't come looking for us. We are a calling.
It looks like it's blocking it.
I'm carrying it and I'm running around impatiently.
My children and my property are not mine. They belong to the Lord.
The Lord has entrusted us with this for a while, but we are merely managers, and when God calls, we have no choice but to leave empty-handed.
Faith is entrusting.
If you had 10 billion won, would you hide it at home? You'd be afraid of thieves coming and wouldn't be able to sleep. You might even get scammed.
However, saving in a bank gives you peace of mind.
So in the old days, they said that if you went to a bathhouse, they wouldn't be responsible for anything you didn't leave behind.
Because it is my child, I feel safe holding it.
Please give it a try
I told him not to tell this story, but Pastor Sunghoon was very sick when he was young. He said there was no hope.
God told me to leave it to him, but every time I saw him, I was afraid.
But then one day, something happened in our house. It was a cockroach incident.
At this time, there were a lot of cockroaches swarming around in the house, and they did not die even after spraying pesticide.
I asked God to save me if he really exists.
The next day there was not a single cockroach left, and even the babies were all gone.
At this time, I developed a little faith in God.
I gradually recovered. When I left everything to God, everything became easier.
Leave it to God. Leave all your worries to the Lord.
God is Almighty.
It is safest to leave it to God.
It is safest to entrust our entire life and existence completely to the Lord.
A life of faith is not a religious life.
Faith is not an idea.
What is the most foolish thing in life?
A foolish life is a life that says in its heart that there is no God, a life that asks to see God, a life that believes that there is no God, is the most foolish life.
How can we trust our fists? Can we take responsibility for our lives?
As I said before, can you take responsibility for your children?
If there is no God, you and I are very foolish people, and we are the most foolish of all people.
Why are you here at this busy time?
Why do you dedicate your lives to the church? Why do you give so much material? Why is your life so difficult?
If God truly exists, if He is the master of history, if He governs life, death, and blessing, then today's worship will be the most precious worship of your life.
Look at history and the Bible. There have been many powerful nations and successful people on this land. This isn't my story, but a true story from history, and it's God's story.
Look at the endings of countless heroes and nations who claimed there was no God.
Why do we study history? Why do we read the Bible?
All unbelievers who say there is no God are lost.
This is history and the Bible. So, when you worship God today, I hope you will offer complete worship.
Love the Lord Jehovah with all your heart and soul.
Everyone, I hope you will truly believe in God and entrust yourself to Him.
I hope you will truly worship before God.
I really hope you will pray in Jesus' name.
Then all the treasures and graces of the throne will come down from heaven.
Please remember that this is an eternal blessing.
So what happens if you worry 24 hours a day, 24 hours a day? If you're anxious and restless 24 hours a day, it becomes the root of all evil.
Why are you anxious?
Why are your hearts anxious?
Because I can't believe that God is with me.
If you are sick, you will be worried.
But the Bible says not to worry.
Don't worry about anything, just ask and believe in God.
God is our Father, the Almighty, the Creator, and the God who cares for us.
So, to you who have become children of God by believing in Jesus Christ, God has given you the status and authority to become children of God.
He gave us the status and authority of God's children, and all authority in heaven and on earth.
You all, God gave Abraham all authority in heaven and on earth, and He also gave all of God's authority and grace to the seven remnants.
You have all the power, so you can go to places like Singapore.
We look forward to seeing what kind of grace God will bestow on that site.
All we're going to do is just do 24 hour Emmanuel.
If the Lord is with us, we have nothing to worry about.
There is no fear.
You can rest assured that you are with us.
What is the greatest blessing? It is peace of mind.
What is the best curse?
It's unsettling.
Not having peace of mind is the greatest curse.
If you don't feel safe, you'll become restless. You won't be able to calm down. This won't do.
Don't be anxious. Don't worry. What happens when you worry? Satan attacks. Just cast all your worries on the Lord.
Don't worry. Satan attacks when there's something to worry about.
Don't you worry when your children are causing you so much anxiety? Just cast all your worries on the Lord. Once you do, God takes care of everything from then on.
Then, no matter what happens, you'll feel peaceful and secure. Then, you'll feel secure 24 hours a day. If you're happy and comfortable 24 hours a day, the 25th hour will happen.
The 25th hour signifies the coming of the kingdom of God and the work of God.
Only when God works can the darkness be broken.
This is what God does.
How cool is that?
How wonderful is the life of faith?
So what is most precious to us? The most important thing to us is life. Our life is in God's hands.
So we entrust our lives to God.
It is giving life.
Who do you love most? Isn't it your children?
The Lord will take care of it.
Our religious life is neither a religion nor a hobby. It is not just one aspect of our lives. It is not a piece of jewelry or an accessory.
Our religious life is the core, the 'core' of our lives.
God has solved three things that we humans could never solve.
First, there is the curse of sin. The wages of sin is death.
Not believing in the God of whom the Bible speaks is a sin and a curse.
Theft, murder, and adultery are sins, but the greatest sin is not believing in God.
God gave us life through Jesus Christ, but not believing in Jesus is sin.
We have a body that cannot help but be cursed, separated from God.
A life that leaves God is ultimately a life of the devil.
No matter how great you are, you are still a servant of the devil.
So, it's living in a hellish setting. It's living a hellish life.
So, you will end up going to hell following the devil.
In the past, we were dead in sin and trespasses.
They were essentially children of wrath.
However, through Jesus Christ we have been saved.
We have become children of God.
The Spirit of Jesus is within us. We are children of God.
God answers prayers and through worship, He bestows upon us all the blessings of the spirits from heaven.
He who has Jesus Christ has everything.
Worship is where all knowledge, wisdom, and treasures are hidden.
So, he who has Jesus Christ has everything.
He who has Christ has the world, yet he has little.
Many things will happen in this life. You may face tribulation or persecution.
But if God is with me, he works all things together for good.
It is written in Romans.
God said that he will bless those who love him, and he will do good to them. Romans 8:28.
So, please keep in mind what the saved children of God must do.
The most important thing our body needs is oxygen. The most important thing our internal organs need is oxygen.
So, if you are going to do it, please do it, but please breathe deeply through your nose and practice breathing that supplies oxygen to your brain and internal organs.
If these remnants could take a deep breath through their noses, they could receive tremendous wisdom.
Don't many diseases come from lack of oxygen? Most of them are due to lack of oxygen.
Please practice breathing that supplies oxygen to the five internal organs and six bowels.
However, the air contains not only oxygen but also bad things.
There is the work of the Holy Spirit, but there are also evil spirits.
Many people have spiritual problems because they breathe in and out of another spirit.
If you pray spiritually through this breathing, the Holy Spirit will come into your spirit.
Then everything comes to life.
Your spirit will be able to communicate with the throne of God.
Just as the five internal organs communicate with each other through oxygen, the work of the Holy Spirit will be felt in the five internal organs.
Please try it out.
There are several things we should consider in today's text. There are things we must acknowledge.
What do you admit? It's not that I'm strong and can do anything. We're NoBody.
But the world teaches us that we can do it.
But the Bible tells us to be strong in our lives in Christ Jesus,
We must be strengthened in the grace that is in Jesus Christ.
Folks, what we must acknowledge is the absolute sovereignty of God.
It is God's guidance.
Psalm 121 says that the One who protects us neither sleeps nor slumbers. He says that He watches over us with eyes as blazing as a flame.
Can a loving mother protect her child like the apple of her eye? Can she protect her child without dozing off or sleeping?
But God neither slumbers nor sleeps; He protects us.
He protects us. Can we not believe this? This is faith.
He said, "Be still and know that I am God." What is faith? It is knowing that Jehovah is God.
Why do you keep it that way? It's a huge problem to push God aside, keep him, and then become your own master.
What is life without God?
In Luke 12, the fool asked, “Who will be yours?”
No matter how much wealth you accumulate, it is nothing if God calls you away.
In Isaiah 53, it says that they went their separate ways.
When God tells us to be silent, we become silent.
Only God can end that war.
Folks, only God can make everything calm.
So God alone is our eternal hope and the only way.
So, in the text, it says that God alone is our refuge.
Amen?
It is in today's text.
He said, "You are my God."
Those who trust will take refuge in God because He is our refuge and rock of refuge.
Those who entrust themselves to God have no worries. They feel secure. That's why they are happy.
Here's the conclusion.
Look at what God is doing.
What did Moses say when he died at the Red Sea?
You said, "Be still and do not do what the Lord says."
Please look at Jeremiah 33:2.
In John 5:17, it says that God is working and I am working.
God is in charge of our lives. I want you to focus solely on your ambitions, the gospel, and prayer.
Thank you, God. May salvation come to your mission field and allow us to entrust our lives to God.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
