In the hour that our world is currently in there is more opposition and tribulation than there ever has been before, but there is hope in the midst of trials and there is peace in the midst of opposition!

This is ＴＨＥ ＹＥＡＲ ＯＦ ＰＲＯＧＲＥＳＳ, of advancing forward and taking the hill of opposition. This year will require you to trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul, and strength as you continue to advance towards the promises that He has given you in His Word. This year will be a year of losses and victories as you press towards the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Are you in search of the truth? These times are not for the faint of heart but for those who are determined to see God’s Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. The valiant will fall in battle but the battle will not be for naught. The battle, what we are facing in today’s world, is more important than us. The victory is sure for those who refuse to quit and continue to advance towards God’s Kingdom. Stay the course and advance! This is the year of progress against seemingly unsurmountable odds so keep your eyes on Him and do not be overcome by the enemy. He has already won the victory for you!

Biblical fasting is abstaining from food for a spiritual purpose. We are going after Him when we fast. It’s not about what we are depriving ourselves of but rather what we are prioritizing. Prayer and fasting do not move and manipulate God to do something that He wasn’t planning on doing, it moves our hearts into alignment with Him. We fast to become better people because we get more of Him!

Who do you answer to? Prayer and fasting is one way of humbling ourselves before God. When we humble ourselves, we are bowing down to something that is greater than us. God doesn’t humble us we have to do it ourselves. Humbling and submitting ourselves to the Lord not only benefits us but it benefits our little ones or the people we have an impact on. We should be seeking the right way. He is the right way!

Does good news mean the absence of bad news? Receiving good news does not always come without opposition. When Jesus was born it was good news for the whole world but from a human standpoint was bad news for Joseph. After Joseph had already made a promise and commitment to Mary he found out that she was pregnant. She was pregnant by the Holy Spirit, and He had to reveal that to Joseph Himself. Joseph had to trust the Holy Spirit in the process when he wasn’t sure what and how things were happening. The Holy Spirit brings good news but sometimes it comes with opposition!

Is the Bible accurate? In the book of Daniel God speaks through a dream and predicts the rise and fall of world leaders for the next 2,000 years after the dream was given. All of it came to pass just as He spoke it. He also spoke clearly about the days the antichrist would be active on the Earth. Just like the Empires and leaders that fell before him, he will also fall. Jesus is returning and His team is the winning team!

Are you ready for that day? The bible says that on the day of the Lord, Jesus will gather His people to Himself. For people who are not ready His return will be like a thief in the night. It should be different for Christians. He gave us the information we need to not be deceived, it's right in our bibles. We should be watching and ready for His return.

Are you enduring until the end? Many will be deceived because they won’t look for the truth. Be ready to be the few because the timid - the many - won’t want to pay the cost of enduring. The end hasn’t come yet, but we will be hated for His name's sake. We will have to endure the hatred not ignore it. It’s not about those who start but those who endure. If we endure until the end we will be saved!

Judas, one of the twelve disciples, betrayed Jesus and the eleven others were deceived. Judas had spent every day traveling and living with them yet they did not see his true intentions and deception. When we get away from the truth of God we open ourselves up to the lies of the devil. Neglecting the Word of God makes it hard to see the lies and deception that we come in contact with. We have a choice to be on the losing team, the devil, or the winning team, Jesus. What team are you on?

Are you ready for THAT Day? We have to live our lives in preparation for the day that Jesus comes back. If we get our cares too much on this life and we forget about eternity, that is when the return of Jesus comes on us unexpectedly. We have to be prepared for battle, to stand for our faith, and be ready to stand against persecution.

Where are you getting your truth? The word of God is the truth we should have in our hearts and the truth we live by. In today’s world, we are afraid of offending others and not being liked. When we speak the truth of God we will have opposition and some people won’t like it. The truth of God’s word should be more important than the world's opinions of us!

"I'm not preparing you for a debate about Coronavirus, I'm preparing you for the Antichrist." It's easier to be deceived right now more than ever in history. There's so much deception going on, and understanding what is right and what is wrong has never been more difficult for people. We get into trouble and become deceived when we believe what is false - to be true, or to believe what is true - to be false. There are two voices vying for our loyalty - The Kingdom of God and The Kingdom of Darkness. Both of them want the same thing. They want our "believer." If they get your "believer," they will get your "behavior." Once you choose to believe something, it affects how you act, think & talk. The ONLY way we can prevent being deceived is by knowing THE TRUTH. The Bible is the truth. When we make decisions - we open up the Bible. EVERYTHING has to be run through the filter of God's Word.

In today’s world, it is easier to be deceived more than ever before. When there is so much information available to us it’s easy to be shaken in mind or troubled. When this happens, we can weigh what we hear, read, and listen to against what God is telling us. He will help us to be settled in our minds and beliefs.

What if your life was more about moving into the “who” with Jesus than it is about moving into the “what”? When we move into Jesus we are being called into a new balance, a new way of looking at things, and a new way of doing things. God uses our movement into Him to reset or rebalance our lives and point us back to our first love, Jesus. He is the who we should be pursuing the most. When we don’t pursue Jesus as our first love consistently the rest of our lives are off-balance. A balanced heart in God creates a balanced life!

What does it mean to unconditionally surrender to the Lord? When we are completely surrendered to the Lord we are yielding and relinquishing ourselves wholly to Him. We surrender our way of living and thinking so we can live in His. Unconditional surrender- sanctification- is a process of perpetual and continual surrender. He calls us into surrender to give us hope!

We are never going to feel our way into a new life. You have to make a decision, get new information from God, and start applying it and don't compromise. And when the enemy comes - say "I'm coming." You make the hit - don't take the hits. The enemy wants to shut us down so we don't release what God's put on the inside of us to impact the world around us. Transformation is about what you are moving towards not just what you are moving away from! Are you available for your mission? Wherever, Whenever and However? 1) Recruit - Pursue something new 2) Train - Receive new information 3) Equip - Apply new information 4) Send - Infiltrate with new information 5) Conquer - Enforce by influence 6) Occupy - Guard 7) Transformation SERMON NOTES: www.theroads.church/sermon-notes We invite you to explore our Podcast channel and the teachings of Chad Everett - Lead Pastor, visit our website and come join us for one of our services.

How do we disciple nations? It's about connecting to Jesus! Too often we think about changing culture by focusing on what we need to prevent from happening, instead of what we need to start happening. We have a laundry list of morality things we think if we stop all these bad things then we will become something. That's called "Religion." We will not become something by what we stop; we have to be born again! It's not about what we prevent, but rather what we initiate - be immersed INTO WHO HE IS! We can't make it without Jesus! God's making soldiers NOT attenders! Hear the truth! What are you immersing yourself into? Are you all in? Are you continually immersing yourself in the "name" of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Are you more focused on what you are overwhelmed BY than you are Who you are immersed IN? Immerse Yourself in HIM! Names of the Father: Lack - Jehovah-Jireh - The LORD who provides Sickness - Jehovah-Rapha - The LORD who heals Fear and anxiety - Jehovah-Shalom - The LORD is PEACE Names
