Sunday Night 11/09/14: Prayer Requests: Stacy Wolfe for healing. Message: Bro. Randy Underwood - Hebrews 12:1-3. Its amazing how encouragement can have an effect of performance. The enemy knows that he can convince us we are isolated then we will underperform. It is by our faith, like those depicted in Hebrews, that we overcome this and cross the finish line. It wasnt their occupation or who they were but it was by there faith. So do you have any faith? Without it it is impossible to please God. Sure you come to church and sing songs and praise God but do you have faith? By chapter 12, weve seen that many different people from all walks of life had faith and made it to the end of their race. Now, they are spiritually compassed around us cheering us on in our race. We too can be like these and cheer our brothers and sisters on who are going through something weve been through. If we are really serious about running this race, we have to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us. We all have things that hold us back and drag us down. And, we all have that one sin that so easily besets us. The weights and sins are not always one and the same. There are some weights that hold is back that are not sins. Weariness is also something we have to get rid of. We can shed the weights and repent of our sins and still have weariness slow us down. Weariness can defeate us and make us want to quit. This temporary feeling can put us out of the race. The way to defeat weariness is to wait upon the Lord. When we do, he will renew our strength. When we pray for strength we let God know we dont want to quit but we still want to win the race. The scripture also says to run the race with patience. This patience is a calm inside of us that keeps us from losing control and gives us power over the pain inside.
