Let's read this morning Luke's Gospel 8 chapters look at verse 40
And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned the people gladly received him for they were all waiting for him
Now that right there in itself would would probably be suffice if we were to just
Talk about they were all waiting for him. Amen and behold there came a man named J iris and
He was a ruler of the synagogue and he fell down at Jesus feet and besought him that he would come into his house
For he had one only daughter about 12 years of age and she lay dying
But as he went the people thronged him
and
A woman having an issue of blood 12 years which had spent all her living upon physicians
And neither could be healed of any came behind him and touched the border of his garment and immediately her issue of blood
staunched or stopped
Jesus said who touched me when all denied Peter and they that were with him said
Master the multitude thronged thee and pressed thee and sayest thou who touched me
And Jesus said somebody had touched me for I
perceived that virtue is going out of me and
When the woman saw that she was not hid she came trembling and fell down before him
She declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she had
How she was healed immediately and he said unto her daughter be of good comfort thy faith hath made thee whole go in peace
And while he yet spake there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying to him
Thy daughter is dead
Trouble not the master
But when Jesus heard it he answered him saying
fear not
believe only
She shall be made whole
Just a simple thought this morning I'll speak to us on the on the thought of living in the holding pattern
Living in the holding pattern. I don't know what the times over the years
I have preached from this particular passage. It's just so rich just like so many of the others
I think we never exhaust the scripture
I think we could read this again next week and the Lord enlighten us on something else and and we preach totally something different
I know it's multiple times and every time I read it. I think about
J-Iris been in a condition of double jeopardy
With this issue that he's having with his daughter and now the help that was on its way has been delayed has been stopped
And then from that he receives the worst news possible
Your daughter is dead trouble not the master, but I I'm so grateful that the master was already troubled and
He was already in in route if you will
He was already in progress going to meet his need and I'm so grateful that he continued on his way
Amen, but this thought living in the holding pattern father. I love you today. I thank you for your goodness and your mercy
I thank you for your word because it is life to us. It's enrichment to our souls Lord
It's it's the enablement of the tomorrows that we have in our life that we can walk in your word
Or your word is hope help and your word is life
Lord may we that have ears to hear Lord may it penetrate into our?
Situations of life Lord. I know that you've you put this on me. I know you've burdened my heart with it
I know you've stirred me and the unction is here to preach it
And so father I ask that you would touch us today each of us as I am included
Lord touch us today that we may hear and receive of your heart and what the spirit's saying to the church in Christ's name the
church said
Amen, I don't know if you've been aware. There's there's
Seems like sister Kathy and I as we try to watch television
We have we have noticed that I don't know how much dumber commercials can get if that's a
If you're an English teacher, and I just butchered the Kings again. Just forgive me
But I don't know how much dumber
commercials can get
It just baffles my mind. I thought really I mean was that all about you know
But there's one about this new car deal carvana
And
During the commercial they're they're trying to the whole point is she's they're gonna sell their van this man and his wife
They're gonna sell their silver minivan and so she's gonna sell it on carvana
And so they're watching carvana for the best rate and every time he thinks the money's right. She says hold
Huh? Now how many have seen that one?
Then about six different times. He's he's at the grill honey. It's up to boy. Hold
You know and he keeps going and she gets more boisterous with her. Oh
Right, and then in the middle of the night she hits the button and
Shouts she sold it and he jumps up in the bed. What what what she said? I just sold it
The whole point of the matter is to hold
When we stop and think about life sometimes we we are placed in what's known as a holding pattern
Think about this by definition. It's the state or period of no progress or
Change have you ever witnessed things in your life situations in your life where you've been put on hold
And you're ready to move forward and you keep hearing the Spirit of the Lord say hold
Not yet. It's not time to move. It's not time to proceed forward
It's it's time to hold when I think about different times and periods over our history
during the 1933 inaugural address from President Franklin Roosevelt that that
Kindly brought about an acclaim of one famous sentence and statement come out of that where he declared
There's nothing to fear but fear itself as he's trying to
Calm a nation in the throes or in the clutches of a great depression
and he's trying to stimulate them to have some hope and trying to
Instill in them that there is a future a brighter future
It's hard to get a hold of that when you see a nation in a holding pattern of that nature
You have the dust bowls in Texas and people are starving and it's a very hard and difficult time in a
Nation and we don't understand how that we can be
But put in these holding patterns and and fear is a factor
Concerning a holding pattern sometimes fear will put a hold and put its own lock on us and and bring about a sense
of paralysis and we're unable to move and unable to progress and and to go any further and
When we stop and think about what?
Roosevelt would say in that statement and the power
It really did stabilize a nation. There's nothing to fear but fear itself
It brought about a calming because the reality when you face the situation and you face the issue
Yes, you may be at a point of no progress. Yes. You may be in a period of no change
But that means it's not any worse. It may not have gotten any better. But hallelujah
It hasn't gotten any worse. Amen. No progress no change and things are going to be better
No change and things are staying the way they are
it brought about something that that brought hope into a people and and the plan that he would bring in and begin to see
America rise again out of the despair of that Great Depression fear ranges
It brings a sense of dread and of hopelessness in it and it ranges from a mild anxiety
Anxiety to crippling panic attacks where you are unable to move frozen because of fear
the Psychiatric Association have listed over
500 different phobias, you know acrophobia and I'm not even going to mention the snake of phobia
It's a word. I can't even hardly get out but you understand what I'm saying
It's the fear of natural things that cause us to be gripped in a state of
Immovability we are just immobile. You cannot move your grip to the point where you are frozen. Can I
Illustrate today that can happen in our spiritual lives as well that we can be so gripped with fear that we become
Immobile we're in a holding pattern fear brings on us
Sometimes God will place us in a holding pattern and and it's not because of fear. It's not because of doubt
It's not because of sin not because of unbelief, but there are times that God himself may place us and a holding pattern
Where there seems to be no progress there seems to be no change with our situation and when the enemy tries to come in at
Those times remember that phrase of Roosevelt's there's nothing to fear but fear itself
But also remember what the Word of God proclaims over your and my life
We've not been given the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind and if I'm in a holding pattern
There's a reason and a purpose for that in my life research indicates that there are only two natural fears
We're only born with two natural fears
One of those is falling and the other is of loud noise and loud
Sounds and it never ceases to amaze me how these mamas bring these brand new babies in here
And they're gonna sleep all the way through this noise that I rattle on with to the top of my lungs when you get happy
And you praise it
Isn't it wonderful that there is a peace that comes up when you're in the presence of God and babies can sleep and not just babies
I've seen some of you snore just a little amen
You're you're unmoved by the loud noise of my voice
You can get so rock but I guess a restful peace and the anointed presence of the Lord is better than anywhere else
So if I nudge you I just want you to come to a man
But let the baby sleep on but it never ceases to amaze me how that even in the noise of a Pentecostal
Worship service that little babies can just sleep on a man because they're knowing that there's nothing to fear and what they hear
Especially if that little baby has been formed in the sanctuary
Amen, that's the reason I think a lot of times
They're not so stressed out when I reach for them to hold them at baby dedication. They're familiar with the preacher's voice
They've heard the pastor's voice for at least nine months
Hello, and so they're unshaken and they know that that loud noise is not gonna hurt them nor harm them
Can I tell you this morning that the voice of God speaking into your life will not hurt you?
Neither will it harm you but he will speak into your situation
He will speak into your crisis moment and he will bring a peace that will pass all understanding
Every other fear that we have in life is learned and we train ourselves to be aware of them
Oh as it takes the form of the fear has the form of success you realize there are people who are afraid to succeed
Because they don't know what doors that may open and they feel overwhelmed with success
There are others who have the fear of failure so they won't do anything and they remain paralyzed
There's the fear of rejection. How many of us enjoy being accepted?
We enjoy being loved a man and when we don't want rejection so many times we won't put ourselves out there
We won't expose our feelings
We won't expose ourself because of the fear that people will not accept us for who we are
Oh, there's the fear of disease and the fear of the future. I'm telling you
I believe that in our nation right now many are gripped with a fear of the future because of its uncertainty
But know this today child of God. You don't have to be afraid of the future. It's already pinned out
It's already written down. It's gonna get worse. Oh preacher. You're a big bundle of help this morning pastor
You're a big boost to my faith today
Well, it ought to be because it's fallen right in line with the word of the living God
But he said even though it gets worse
He said be of good cheer why because he knows that this world will bring about tribulation in our lives
But he also know what he afforded to the believer while these tribulations coming into their life be of good cheer because I have
Overcome the world a man knowing that we're just pilgrims here
We're just on a journey through life and this journey's taking us to the hope that we have the eternal hope that we have in Christ
And Christ alone. Oh my home is not here. Amen
My residing place is in eternity
Oh a man and him and with him forever to be and so when you look at the grander scheme of life
Why do you have to be afraid? Amen
Why does fear have to well over your soul be of good courage this morning? The Lord is on your side
He will watch over you. He will protect you and he will keep you even in your holding pattern
The Lord said in Luke 21 26 men's hearts
Will be felling them for fear
And for taking and looking after the things which are coming to the earth
Fear produces
negative effects on our life
It paralyzes to the point where we can't make rational decision
It paralyzes to the point where we cannot make a rational
logical
Decision on things that are facing us in life
I've already told you to mobilize this it causes you to be frozen in your position. It causes you to be
Stunned it just hinders action hinders prayer
Fear limits our faith eight man when we are believing more in the negative report of the enemy than the positive
Word of God it causes the limits on our faith. It restricts our hope it restricts relationships
It lowers your spiritual productivity and fear will even lower your physical productivity
Amen, it jeopardizes the good health that God has given us it and I'll tell you another thing fear will do
Fear is the king of robbing you of your joy, but I'm here to tell you today your joy does not
Determine is not determined by what goes on in this world now
It affects our happiness to a great level and to a great degree
But the sooner you realize that it is joy a man that is a hope of glory
It's the joy of the Lord that feels your life. It's drawing from the joy of the well of salvation that
Stabilizes your hope even though you're in a world it affects your happiness
But the joy of the Lord is will and always become the strength of the believer
Because I have a joy in knowing that this is not all there is the
Circumstances of life at the very moment is not the end of it all hallelujah
Hallelujah, the way that it works for J iris is exactly this J iris comes
He has a great problem. First of all, he is a devout man. He's a pastor if you will
He's over the synagogue of his area and his town and over his community
So he is a very devout man and somewhere in this
Devotedness to God he's come to an understanding that this man called Jesus is who he claims himself to be
Somewhere in his study of scripture somewhere there's been this stirring in this depth of his heart that he knows that the answer that he needs
And requires for his life the fear that is overwhelming him for losing his daughter's life and losing her
It can only be answered by approaching Jesus Christ and look what he does. He renounces his own faith
He steps against his own religious tradition of the day, but yet he steps out in faith
Can I tell somebody this morning if you'll just deny all of the garbage that's going on around you all the tradition?
That's going on around you and all of what everybody else has to say about your situation
And let a step of faith be extended by your feet and by your heart and by your uplifted hands if you can just let
Faith reach out hallelujah. It'll be a difference maker
It'll be what breaks the yoke and the bondage of fear off your life
If you just have enough faith and what you've heard somehow another J Iris had heard that Jesus was the real deal
And he's about to let go he's about to get out of a holding pattern
He's about to be released because there's faith coming his way and his faith's going to hoard the faith of all men
Which is Jesus Christ the righteous and at his feet he falls
Devout upstanding desperate can I tell you desperate folk or dangerous folk?
That when you become desperate
To get into Jesus's presence you become very dangerous
Because you don't worry about it all of a sudden. It doesn't matter what everybody else says or things
Amen
So what happened when two dead men were killed?
Amen, so what happened when two desperate people collide?
In our story you have two desperate people
colliding for the same answer
You have a desperate man whose daughter is sick
He's about to it be introduced to a desperate woman who is about to die herself. I
Think it's noteworthy to know she'd been sick for 12 years and his daughter was 12 years old
You've got two very desperate people who are colliding at a point of faith and the point of that faith is Jesus Christ
Both had been in a holding pattern. I don't know how long the daughter had been sick
We do know how long this woman had been sick. She had been sick for 12 long years
She had spent all that she had she had sought out every physician
Every new doctor every new quack and if you study ancient
Medicine you're gonna find out they were some real
Quacks in their day and the cure would be the thing would probably kill most of them other than the condition that they had
Some of the desperate measures they went to trying to save people's lives
There is no telling that the torture under the guise of medicine
Some of you probably know what I'm talking about this morning
Some of you probably tortured under the banner of medicine and and you just thank in God
You survived what they did to you let alone what you had and that's where this woman finds herself as this desperation in her life
She'd spent all she had there was no other answer. There was no other help. There was no other hope
We've got a man who's devout in his religious practice who has no other help and no other hope
Don't you know every doctor had been through his house as well?
Every physician had to come and see his daughter as well and he had lost hope and desperation
Collides at the feet of Jesus my God and as J iris makes his way and falls at his feet
He'd be sought that word be sought is literally begged. You've got a righteous man
You've got a man noted in the community
You've got a man that everybody knows and recognizes and now here
He is in the middle of the street on his face begging him back to help him
He's on the street on his face begging a man called Jesus to come to his house my my my my my
He's about to break a holding pattern because of faith is about to be released out of his heart because faith has now found its way
To the only help and the only hope that had any help and doing something for him and J iris is finding himself now
Begging for the only hope that my god wouldn't it be wonderful if we found ourselves at the feet begging
For more of what we need and more if we get desperate enough
We'll find ourselves again falling at the feet of Jesus and be seeking him and begging him to come and move
on our situation
He knew that Jesus was his only help hope and it seems as though his prayer had been answered
They're moving toward his house
And the collision of this second point of desperation
This woman with this issue
Interrupts his answer
Have you ever felt like your answer had been interrupted?
Have you ever felt like your answer had been interrupted? Have you ever felt like Jesus was doing something? I mean you you were feeling better about it and then wham
All progress is stopped and you're back in the holding pattern
I don't like holding patterns in airplanes. I don't know how they work it. I don't know how they figure it
Getting enough gas on that thing to circle around Miami
I mean, you know, evidently they don't gas and go like I do I get enough to get to where i'm going
Not right around town
Hello
I'm not going to circle the city when I get there. I get just enough to get to where i'm going
Save every gallon I can to help me get back
Pilot comes on since we're in holding pattern waiting on the thunderstorm. I thought well how much cash we got
I have tank quarter tank what we're looking at here. It'll help me in my desperation
I'm thinking this thing goes down. I hope it goes down on that swing out over the water so I can use my seat as a flotation device
My luck should go down right over the middle of florida
I'm thinking it's going to go down on that swing out over the water so I can use my seat as a flotation device
My luck should go down right over the middle of florida
I get just enough to get to where i'm going
How long lord do we have to wait how long do I have to how long am I going to have to be here
12 years
How long am I going to be in this holding pattern fear then begins to take hold doesn't it?
When you think about holding patterns when fear takes its grip adam and eve they hid from god in the garden because
Of fear
We know the direct result of that was sin
They were hiding from god because of fear of god
israel a nation of people
Gave up on the promised land because they were afraid
Of the giants that were in the land
According to psalm 789 ifrim turned back in the day of battle
Because of fear
Saul's army fled before goliath in first samuel 17 because they were afraid an army afraid of one man
Gideon have you ever heard of a gideon revival pastors don't like to hear about gideon revivals
That's revival by subtraction
Gideon started out with 32 000 men which was already a very small army at the force he was going out to face
And then god's going to whittle that down. He said gideon you tell everybody that scared half to death
Just go back to the house 22 000 of his 32 000 left that day
By the time he gets down to him drinking at the pool
He's left with 300 come on
But that's enough
That's enough if god's in it you're talking about a holding pattern i'm thinking gideon saying you want to do what?
A pitcher put a candle in it a trumpet in other hand where am I going to carry my sword?
This is a fight
Well, if god's in my I ain't got time for that. Let's move on
Elijah's gripped by fear and depression sets in his life
In first kings 19 Jonah runs from the call of god because of fear
All right
The disciples cried out master carest not thou that we perish because they were afraid of a storm
Fear gripping their lives
They leave him at calvary because they were afraid for their own lives
And we live in a world that's gripped with the chaos of fear
And in this world god speaks like he did here to jay iris
fear not
The worst news possible happened to jay iris as after the delay
With a woman with the issue of blood now she's healed and now she owns up to it
And now he's blessing her and now we can come out of the holding pattern and move toward
Move toward my miracle then the worst thing possible happens
Trouble not the master your daughter's dead
But I love it as luke records he said and jesus heard it
And he heard what was said to jay iris
He heard it he knows your situation he knows how desperate it may seem he knows how desperate it may appear
He knows
And one thing I love about the lord once he starts on a journey. He doesn't stop till he completes it
He knows
And one thing I love about the lord once he starts on a journey. He doesn't stop till he completes it
No matter the interruptions of the faith of others
Hello
He told jay iris i'm coming. Let's go
And nothing would suffice him until he got there. Amen
Fear not
Believe only
Let's go
How do you how do you do that? How do you get up out of the dirt?
He had to have been back down in the dirt. I would have been in the dirt
You tell me my daughter's dead i'm in the dirt
You tell me my 12 year old baby has just passed i'm in the dirt
I don't know in a crowd this size. Some of you may have already had the deal with that and you've been in the dirt
But then you hear the lord declare fear not
Believe only
Believe only for your situation knowing that he is able believe only
Knowing that god himself is able to take care of the situation that you're dealing with and the issue and the circumstance
That has driven you to a point of desperation. He is
able
He's able to move in every situation, right?
Read a little story. I thought was funny
But it got to the point a little girl five six seven years old in the middle of the night storm comes up
She's asleep in her room and comes running to her mom and dad's room
She bursts through the door and moms they always go to mom's side. Hello
She goes to her mother said mom I want to sleep with you and daddy and you know how it is
Honey, you're gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay
Nothing to be afraid of it's just a storm. You can go back in there and go to sleep
No, I won't sleep with you and daddy said well, honey, it's gonna be fine
You're going to be okay. And besides that Jesus is in the room with you
The little girl looks at mom says that's okay mom. You go in there and sleep with Jesus. I'm getting in the bed with dad
You know sometimes seeing is believing
You go in there and sleep with jeez i'm staying right here with dad
And that's the way it works sometimes with our life
We hear the lord say some things like that to us. It's going to be okay
It's going to be all right. He's going to take care of he's going to answer. It's a storm
You're in a holding pattern. It will pass over it will pass by
It will be done with and we have to have hope and trust god knowing
That it's going to be over when we're in that holding pattern
And the only way you can do that is that you accept the assurance of god's promises
That's the only way you can do that
That's the only way you can go back in a storm and go to sleep
That's the only way you can get up out of the dirt
Because you are assured of the one who has made you the promise
And that he is full well and able to supply everything that he has promised to you in your life
If we just continue focusing to look at the circumstance
I assure you fear will grip you
I assure you that the devil will bind you up with it if that's all you can see
But you have to do as the psalmist we we have to condition our faith to do as the psalmist in that psalm of the assentin 121
Where does my help come from?
I'll lift up my eyes into the hills
Where does my help come from? Where am I assisted? Where do I receive my aid?
It's not the hills, but it's above the hills
I lift up my eyes into the hills from which cometh my help my help comes from the lord
When you get desperate in desperate moments know this your help comes from the lord
Sometimes you don't get assurance from the doctor. Sometimes you don't get peace from the diagnosis
Sometimes you you you leave in worse shape than you went in there
Yeah, but when you hear the word of god, it's going to be all right when god has made a promise to you
Amen, then you can be assured of every promise that he's made in your life and know that that assurance is
accompanied with his peace
You have to be assured that god is big enough
You have to assure yourself
You know, there are times you can't assure others until you have assured yourself
That god is able
And to know according what he said to isaiah
That he will keep him
in perfect peace
Whose mind is stayed upon the lord?
Trust me. I know how it is and how easy it becomes when you look at the circumstance and you you can't keep your mind
fixated on the promises of god because of the reality of the moment of what you are seeing
And the report like a j-iris that you just heard it's real. It's the real deal. It's the reality
It's the reality of life. Don't bother the master anymore
He is gone
But then the master interjects because he hears the negativity of the voice of fear and then he speaks in and says fear not
believe only
A lot of times we we invert that we say only believe but I think there's a reason it's believe only
Because if you begin with the believe and the singularity of it only
Leaves no other option for us
But if we invert it only
Believe it gives me other options before I have to believe
For me myself, it gives me other options
for me myself it gives fear an opportunity to interject its ugly head into my situation, but if I
believe only
It brings a new reality in a sense to me that it tells myself trust in the lord
Trust god believe
believe
Believe that's the simplicity of our life with christ
That's the simplicity of our life in this world believe only you know when I was a sinner, I only believed I knew there was a god
Hello, and I scared of him to a degree more afraid of mother than god
It's that immediate reality that she struck into my life and my belief system
I brought you in i'll take you out you do this this and this
Hello, am I the only one in here that heard that speech?
And even worse than that was if you don't listen to me i'm gonna tell your daddy
That's not a place I ever wanted to end up
It's where we are in our life that matters with your faith and believing god and god alone
I know we're slowing down this morning, but i'm trying to help somebody today
Fear will announce itself into your circumstance
Be assured of that the enemy will see fit to that
That fear will interject into your situation
And if we're doing anything but believing god it will cause a paralysis in our faith
My lord, I know
Paralysis in our faith my lord, I know
But rest assure the promises of god are ye and amen in christ
Jesus assure yourselves of that
His promises are unfailing first kings 8 56 says there's not one word not one word of any promise that god made to israel
That he did not fulfill
Romans 421 they are assured being fully persuaded paul said that
What the lord and what he had and what he had presented
Knowing that he was able to perform it
Whatever god had spoken
He was convinced
That god was able to perform it
Are you convinced?
Are you convinced of the promise that god has made you in your circumstance?
And the holding pattern that you're finding yourself in this this period of unchanged this
State of being spiritually that you feel like you've been stuck in for a while
Do you trust god? Is your faith in god maintaining and staying whole and complete?
Knowing that god is able
And then if you are then it's not hard to commit
The results to god
Of whatever it is
And to trust god that the outcome is his will
Emphasized over our own
That was that's a hard one to that's a hard one to ingest right there
Because god doesn't always do it the way we want it done
But he knows you and I better than we know ourselves and he performs
According to his will for our life
And if our lives are subjected to him
He's faithful
Stand with me. I'm gonna wind this down. I got a long way to go, but I'm gonna wind it down
You cannot be in doubt
That god is on your side
God is on your side
Cory 10 booms definition of faith
Don't doubt the dark what god has shown you in the light that's that's pretty powerful
God has revealed himself
Don't doubt it when the midnight hour comes
But randy's been doing a wonderful job walking us through the book of acts
As we finished up last week after the shipwreck on the isle of malta
Paul and all the others
God told paul you're going to rome
And rome he would show up
No matter what tried to stop him
Tried to stop him hurricane-tight storm shipwrecked on an island bit by poisonous snake
And many other peril and danger along the way
God said paul you're going to rome. I need you there
There was only one final destination for paul that was rome
No matter how rough the journey
His life may have only been spared by
A plank off a ship that he rode to shore doesn't matter
His life was spared somebody you need to hear this this morning
You may be like a jacob you may come out of your holding pattern with a limp
But when you come out of it, you're going to be blessed
If god has spoken something over your life to your life
And in your life
I don't know what condition you'll be in by the time you get to it, but you will get to it
Desperation drives us to many different measures
And don't for a moment think you're the only one that's in a holding pattern
Sometimes we live in the holding pattern
Abraham waited
For isaac to be born
Joseph waited through the pit
Through the prison
To get to the palace
He'd already had a dream
The moon the stars were going to bow before him that's what got him in the pit
Joshua and kala had to wait for the moon to come
Joshua and kala had to wait 40 years
For the reality of something that they had already once partook of
To the fulfillment of it
You don't about a holding pattern
One of my favorite favorite scripture is that about concerning the ending of that 40 year holding pattern when the lord said
You've can pass this mountain long enough
to turn
My god, I wait for that don't you
That's what i'm waiting for by holding pattern to be broke
You've been here long enough you've walked in circles long enough it's been 40 years
And I want you to turn
My David waited
Go tear you in Jerusalem till you be endued with power jesus said
The disciples waited
And so here you and I are here we are
In a holding pattern
I don't know what your wilderness looks like. I don't know what the storm of sea of life is doing to you
I don't know how you're being affected by the grip of fear as it comes into your situation and individual circumstances
And you're in this holding pattern no progress no change
Could be just a few days weeks months some of you could be in the circling pattern for years it seems
And you're living in the holding pattern, but i'm here to tell you child of god
There's an appointed moment when the lord says you've compassed it long enough
Turn father. I love you this morning. What I've preached what you've laid on my heart
Lord I felt the shift
I felt it in here a few moments ago
That's why we're winding this to this point
To the point of desperation
Mercy never fails me
All my life
In your hands listen
Moment that I wake up
Till I lay my head
I will sing
Of the goodness
Of god
You said pastor i'm in a holding pattern
Life you have been
I'm in a holding pattern
And I needed that word today. I hear the voice of the lord
I know what he's saying to me in my circumstance in my situation
And I just need strength
I need his added grace
I need a touch this morning
Are you desperate enough to make your way to this altar?
If you are come right on
Stand right here in the front just line up here in the front
Just come on in I'm in a holding pattern
I'm ready
I wish today was the day I heard turn
You've been in here long enough
Oh my god I see the lord working his people are moving this away
He's heard everything he's heard it all folks
Thank you jesus
