- 0:25Constance Lavonice: Now it shall spring forth.
- 0:28Constance Lavonice: Shall you not know it?
- 0:30Constance Lavonice: I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
- 0:36Constance Lavonice: I have been enjoying a Rocky Mountains vacation in Western United States.
- 0:45Constance Lavonice: And the Lord spoke a message to me.
- 0:48Constance Lavonice: He said, Constance Lavonice, go all in.
- 0:55Constance Lavonice: And that's the message I want to share with you.
- 1:00Constance Lavonice: God wants you to go all in.
- 1:03Constance Lavonice: As I meditate on the miracle of salvation, God's salvation through Jesus Christ and the miracle of being saved by grace through our faith, God wants to use you.
- 1:21Constance Lavonice: At that moment, you became transformed.
- 1:25Constance Lavonice: You are now the righteousness of God.
- 1:30Constance Lavonice: Everything that God has, you have through Jesus Christ that lives in you.
- 1:38Constance Lavonice: God was speaking to me.
- 1:40Constance Lavonice: Go all in.
- 1:42Constance Lavonice: Stop worrying about what other people may be thinking or what other people may be feeling or speaking.
- 1:54Constance Lavonice: Keep your focus on God.
- 1:58Constance Lavonice: What is God saying?
- 2:01Constance Lavonice: What is God thinking?
- 2:03Constance Lavonice: What are his thoughts toward you and the situations that you're facing?
- 2:10Constance Lavonice: What has God told you to do?
- 2:12Constance Lavonice: And you've been hesitating because you're consumed with what other people are saying, are saying, or you're confused by all of the different voices in your head, whether that's media or someone in person.
- 2:33Constance Lavonice: Are you listening to God?
- 2:36Constance Lavonice: God wants to do the same work in your life that he did when he saved you from all of the destruction, from all of the sins of your previous life.
- 2:54Constance Lavonice: You're a new person in Christ.
- 2:57Constance Lavonice: You have been transformed.
- 2:59Constance Lavonice: God is telling you, go all in.
- 3:03Constance Lavonice: Stop questioning God.
- 3:06Constance Lavonice: If you hear God's voice, and if God is speaking to you to do something, do it.
- 3:13Constance Lavonice: Demonstrate your faith.
- 3:15Constance Lavonice: God wants to use you.
- 3:18Constance Lavonice: God wants you to not only have faith, but believe in what he says.
- 3:25Constance Lavonice: Believe his word.
- 3:26Constance Lavonice: He has been speaking to me recently about me thinking about what others might think or what others might say, not being too transparent because of what this person might think of me.
- 3:46Constance Lavonice: Go all in for God.
- 3:48Constance Lavonice: Believe God.
- 3:50Constance Lavonice: How do we believe God?
- 3:52Constance Lavonice: The only way that we can believe God is through his word.
- 3:58Constance Lavonice: And I've been questioning that lately, wondering, does it take that?
- 4:04Constance Lavonice: Does it take me being in his word for three hours?
- 4:07Constance Lavonice: Why can't I just meditate for 10 minutes?
- 4:12Constance Lavonice: Why 30 minutes?
- 4:14Constance Lavonice: Why an hour?
- 4:16Constance Lavonice: Why three hours?
- 4:18Constance Lavonice: God says, go all in.
- 4:22Constance Lavonice: I take 10 minutes to read the Bible, but I would take two hours on social media.
- 4:32Constance Lavonice: So God brought that to my attention.
- 4:35Constance Lavonice: Do you know that you are or have read the word for just 10 minutes today?
- 4:43Constance Lavonice: But you spent two hours on social media or looking at news, checking out world events, what's going on now in the United States, what's going on now in the world?
- 5:00Constance Lavonice: God told me to redirect that focus, redirect the focus because He has a good work for me to do.
- 5:11Constance Lavonice: He has good works for you to do.
- 5:14Constance Lavonice: God has a good plan for your life.
- 5:17Constance Lavonice: Jeremiah 29, 11.
- 5:19Constance Lavonice: He has a good plan for your life.
- 5:22Constance Lavonice: And the only way for you to fulfill what God has for you to fulfill is to go all in with God.
- 5:32Constance Lavonice: And the way that we go all in with God is by meditating on his word.
- 5:38Constance Lavonice: There's no other way.
- 5:40Constance Lavonice: I am 61 years old and I've tried.
- 5:43Constance Lavonice: I've tried to get the things that I believe that God was speaking to me without meditating in his word.
- 5:50Constance Lavonice: And I can't do it.
- 5:52Constance Lavonice: What happens when you try to do that and live your life in a way that you're just kind of dependent on God?
- 6:01Constance Lavonice: You become frustrated, fearful, doubtful, and you start to listen to everything around you except God.
- 6:13Constance Lavonice: God wants your attention.
- 6:16Constance Lavonice: God wants to use you for great and mighty things.
- 6:22Constance Lavonice: God has a good plan for you.
- 6:26Constance Lavonice: Someone needs to hear this.
- 6:29Constance Lavonice: God has a good plan for you, but He wants to draw you near to Him.
- 6:37Constance Lavonice: Draw near to God, and God will draw near to you.
- 6:43Constance Lavonice: That's His message.
- 6:44Constance Lavonice: Go all in.
- 6:46Constance Lavonice: That's my message that God is speaking to me.
- 6:50Constance Lavonice: And God wants me to speak that to someone listening today.
- 6:56Constance Lavonice: Go all in with God.
- 6:59Constance Lavonice: Go all in for God through the Holy Spirit that is within you.
- 7:06Constance Lavonice: The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead resides in you.
- 7:12Constance Lavonice: And God wants to use you.
- 7:16Constance Lavonice: So if God has given you something that He wants you to do, and only you know what you sense God wants you to do.
- 7:28Constance Lavonice: If God has given it to you, He's spoken that to you, then follow His voice.
- 7:35Constance Lavonice: Obey the voice of God.
- 7:38Constance Lavonice: God's will is always good for your life.
- 7:43Constance Lavonice: Believe Him.
- 7:44Constance Lavonice: He loves you.
- 7:46Constance Lavonice: Open up the Word of God and read His Word so you can learn about God and know the character of God and know the plans that He has for your life.
- 8:01Constance Lavonice: So today's message is short and simple.
- 8:06Constance Lavonice: And the message is go all in for God.
- 8:12Constance Lavonice: God loves you.
- 8:15Constance Lavonice: God sees you.
- 8:16Constance Lavonice: You don't have to be anything that you're not.
- 8:21Constance Lavonice: Just you.
- 8:22Constance Lavonice: God loves you.
- 8:24Constance Lavonice: He saved you as you were.
- 8:28Constance Lavonice: His Holy Spirit is in you.
- 8:31Constance Lavonice: You don't have to question if you're good enough.
- 8:35Constance Lavonice: You don't have to compare yourself with anyone else.
- 8:40Constance Lavonice: God saved you.
- 8:42Constance Lavonice: You are His righteousness.
- 8:46Constance Lavonice: You are righteousness.
- 8:48Constance Lavonice: He has a good plan for your life.
- 8:52Constance Lavonice: Go all in for God and watch miracles happen.
- 8:59Constance Lavonice: And Father God, I pray for every woman listening today that you will allow this message to prick their hearts so that they will know that you love them.
- 9:13Constance Lavonice: That they are the righteousness of God.
- 9:22Constance Lavonice: That they are themselves righteous because of what Christ did for us at the cross.
- 9:31Constance Lavonice: Be with them, Father God.
- 9:33Constance Lavonice: See them.
- 9:35Constance Lavonice: Give them the courage to go all in for you.
- 9:42Constance Lavonice: In Jesus' name.
- 9:44Constance Lavonice: Amen.
