Today's Word 10-02-26 The Roar is Loud, But God Has the Final Word · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherri Mackey,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. The roar
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: is loud, but God has the final word. Jeremiah 5.22 says,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It is I who have drawn for all times the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: boundaries of the sea. The waves may crash and the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: roar against the sand, but the waters do not cross
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the lines I have drawn. Have you ever had negative
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: thoughts roaring in your mind, thoughts telling you you'll never
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: get well, you'll never get out of debt, you'll never
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: break free from that addiction, you'll never recover from what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: happened to you? The enemy wants you to believe that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you're facing something that's bigger than your God. He wants
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the noise of your circumstances to drown out the truth
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of God's word. But today I came to remind you,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: just because it's making noise doesn't mean it has the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: authority to determine your outcome. Look at the waves of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the ocean. They crash against the shore and they roar
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: with tremendous force. But God established boundaries here. that the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: waters can't cross. The waves can make all the noise
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: they want, but they still have to respect the limits
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: God has set. The same God who established boundaries for
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the sea is still the God over your life. The
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5 and 8 that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: someone to devour. Notice he roars. He wants to intimidate you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: He wants to frighten you. He wants to make you
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: believe defeat is inevitable. But don't confuse a loud threat
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: with a final outcome. Come on, Jesus. When fear starts talking,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: answer it with faith. When doubt says you won't make it,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: remind yourself that God has promised never to leave you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: nor forsake you. When discouragement tells you to give up,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: remember that you can do all things through Christ who
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: strengthens you. And listen, roaring back doesn't mean pretending your
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: problem doesn't exist. It means refusing to let your problems
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: have the final word. You can acknowledge the storm and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: still trust the one who walks with you through the storm.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So guard your mind. Speak life over yourself. Declare God's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: truth over your family, your future, your circumstances. Pray when
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: fear rises. Seek help when you need it. Keep taking
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the next faithful step. Even when the waves are crashing
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: around you, the roar may be real, but it does
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: not have the rule over you. The enemy can make threats.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Circumstances can create uncertainty and negative thoughts can try to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: overwhelm you, but you don't have to surrender your peace
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to the noise. Today, I'm encouraging you to stand on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the word of God. Let your faith speak louder than
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: your fear because the roar is loud, but God has
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the final say. Father, thank you for your word is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: greater than every fear, every negative thought, and every storm
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we face. Help us to recognize the enemy's attempts to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: discourage us and give us the strength to stand firm
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in faith. God, guard our minds against thoughts of defeat, insecurity,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: or hopelessness. Teach us, God, to speak life, trust your promises,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and walk in the authority that you've given us through Christ.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: When the waves rise and the noise gets loud, remind
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: us that you are still God and we're not facing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this battle alone. In Jesus' name. Now that's your word
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: for today. Take it, apply it to your everyday life,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: your early morning praise party. I am Sherri Mackey.
