Had to share my church notes for alot of folks forget these key factors of his word.
”About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”“
Acts 16:25-30 NIV
From a Prison to Party
As an adult you gotta take the good things from he bad things you dont like
You gotta find the good even in bad situations
Joy is not a suggestion for a believe you gotta find it in the food and bad if you want to be at peace and happy in life
Joy is you own responsibility
You drive what brings you joy even when it hurts find the joy
If you are living a life without joy, you are living a life without the will of God
Here is the secret to getting more joy out of life. Here is the cheat code
More joy is found in community
When you do life with people who support you prays for you and build the joy in community around you
Dont go through storms by yourself
Talk about it get help get advise use your community resources be a resource for someone else
We always will need someone so stop shutting people out in your insecurities thinking your community wont support you.
If you scared of your community get a new one
We cant always be down and in a bad move because you chose to be isolated you can get those feelings out and get better
Stop saying you don't do people baby that isolation is keeping you locked up in bo***ge and depressed
Get out of isolation
It is lonely there
God put people in your life to help you not to embarrass you and pull you down
Matthew 26: 34-36
Stop being scared to be weak and vulnerable God help those who surrenders to him
Don't put your life on mute because you are ashamed of your storms
God wants you to use your community
so stop isolating yourselves
One cannot keep warm without someone
The enemy can attack you more when you are alone but when two comes together and touch and agree it makes it more difficult for the enemy to attack
You gotta find people who wont throw you a pitty party
surround yourself People who wont let you stay down for long
Find people who will stand with you and help you pray and find resolutions
We dont want to keep stuck at the storm you gotta surround yourself with a community that will help you find joy
Make those tears into process and turn that into progress
It is not given stuck in your pitty.
We want change we want resolutions we want God to step in and move mountains so feeling bad.
You will outgrown that season and that pitty party
Its okay to cry and be down but baby don't stay thee
God cant intercept to the plans if you stuck in a dark lonely place
When people betray you dont have pitty on yourself move on
When a job a man a person a friend make you feel bad and betrayed know God is making you grow into a new chapter and phase
When people see real joy in you, they will want what you have
There is joy connected to us all and when God puts us in storms he strengthens you need you to show
how real he is
Let your joy shine bright so others can know God is real
He works
He works over time
He heals
He Restores
He brings peace
He brings Joy
