Hey Mergers,


Here are the notes from Sunday's service. Elder Stacy English brought the word.

It seems like it's the church that always has to be quiet. The believers are afraid to declare what God has already set forth in his word.

You're in a state of fear when you're in a situation and don't speak the things that God has declared in his word.  You can't be in fear to continue to declare that God is going to work things out.  Many have prayed about things and it looks like nothing is happening. Because you don't really believe that God heard you, you begin to forget.

You have to know who you are so you don't lose yourself in a situation. God has given you power, love, and a sound mind.  When you realize who God has said that you are and that you have the power within you. Whatever God has declared that he is you have inside of you!

With declaration come challenges. With challenges comes the confirmation of your declaration!

What qualifies you to overcome your situations is the fact that you are of God.

Many are embarrassed to boast their beliefs for fear that they won't fit in, that they will stand out or be ostracized. But you ARE a peculiar people!  You don't have to fear the things of the world. We have a God who we can declare that he is the mighty one. Even in the midst of everything you're going through, God is saying I was there. And I'm still there!

All we need to do is trust God. It sounds so simple, but that's all that's required
