Pastor Joseph Davis delivers a direct and stirring message to sinners, students, saints, and seekers, focusing on the two crucial steps to freedom: getting up and not going back. Using powerful biblical narratives, he explains that God's deliverance often comes in ways that challenge our excuses and our comfort zones.
In this teaching, you will learn:
-- That divine breakthrough often comes in a way that frustrates you, rather than comforts you. God's questions, like "Do you want to get well?" are meant to challenge our passive acceptance of our situation.
-- We must obey God's command to "get up," even when we have factual reasons or excuses for being stuck. Our past and our circumstances do not define our future.
-- God's deliverance gives us a new testimony. The very thing that once held us down—our mat—becomes something we carry as a sign of our freedom.
-- Staying free requires changing your company. You cannot talk to bound people about a better life or expect those who benefit from your "poverty" to celebrate your freedom.
-- As students of Christ, we must learn to navigate storms of life with faith. Jesus's sleeping in the boat isn't abandonment; it's an opportunity for us to prove our faith and develop a deeper reliance on Him.
-- We must not throw temper tantrums with God or attempt to manipulate Him with our emotions. True spiritual growth happens when we endure hardship and maintain our faith and joy amid chaos.
