"It's Your Time"

September 24, 2023 | Pastor Charles P. Akins, Sr.

Passage: Isaiah 54:1-9

Intro:

I know that you may have been going through something lately! Satan has been on your track, in your home, messing around on your job! Sit tight and trust in God! Satan is doing his job!

Prop:

It doesn’t matter what you are facing, once God decides to bless or deliver, heal, or provide nothing can stop Him! Again, just trust God!

Body:

The text today speaks of the time after God’s People had been led away into captivity and the Kingdom destroyed for the final time.

His prophecy reminds them that God would, once again, rescue and redeem his own.

A time when the world over would come to know that the People of God do in fact matter!

God told me to tell you “It’s Your Time!”

If you have been obedient. If you have been seeking God. If you have been waiting for changes to come, deliverance, or healing and you trust in Yah!

“It’s Your Time!”

God said, “I require 6 things from you”: (See Joel 2)

  1. Obedience
  2. Repentance
  3. Humility
  4. Consecration
  5. Dedication
  6. Faith

God warned, “Don’t try to make it happen let it happen!”:

  • Don’t jump ahead of God to do what he has promised to be done.
    • If you move ahead, you will mess up the plan that is in motion.
      • It’s like baking a cake, putting the wrong ingredient in and the cake tastes off, or just plain wrong.
    • You don’t know the direction that God is traveling in.
    • What appears to be a delay may be protecting you from danger.
  • Don’t get caught off guard by the enemy moving too fast.
    • Satan will present a false blessing to trick you.
    • The false blessing will bring you pain and alter your outcome.
    • Sin entered the world through a false blessing.
  • Don’t let people who mean well convince you of what it is.
  • Let God direct you into it as you stay consecrated and focused.

You were never alone:

  • God has seen your struggles.
    • He wasn’t silent, but instead was working.
  • God said that “Time is drawing near so I am going to move faster”.
    • Be ready.
    • Trust in God only.
    • Take a serious stand for the Lord.

God is about to start showing out again. The world is increasingly evil, and people have walked away from the faith.

Miracles, signs, and wonders are coming sooner than you think!

All those who are willing prepare to walk in your calling.

God prefers that we simply trust and believe, but he sees the condition of the world.

  • Clergy and Saints have failed him.
  • Believers are fearful and quiet.
  • People lack power because they are chasing:
    • Money
    • Sex
    • Popularity
    • Power
    • Influence

God doesn’t want you applying band-aides, but solutions.

  • Band-Aides get wet.
  • Band-Aides get old.
  • Band-Aides only cover so much area.

Stitches:

  • Close wound.
  • Protects from infection.
  • Protects reinjury.

God said, “It’s Your Time!”

  • For healing
  • For Salvation
  • For deliverance
  • For blessings
  • For miracles

What will you believe God for!

Heb 11:6, Mark 11:24

God wants to:

  • Restore that which was taken from you!
  • Give that which you never had.
  • Heal the damage.
  • Destroy the pain.
  • Comfort the sadness.

Conclusion:

God is calling you to receive what he has planned for you.

You need only place yourself in the position of obedience and consecration, and you can receive whatever your destiny and purpose in God has instore!
