Todd White - Watch Sermon: More than Conquerors

Todd White - Watch Sermon: More than Conquerors: Todd White - Watch Sermon: More than ConquerorsScripture Reference: Acts 20: 22-24 - And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Have you ever been at the Castle in Oslo and seen the Guards? It is the same at the Tomb of the unknown soldier in USA. The Guards are marching back and forth, and standing unmoved, and unaffected. They stand in rain, and they stand in cold weather. Sometimes down to -20 C in the winter, and up to +30 C in the summer. They are not affected by anyone trying to talk to them, or disturb them. They will not receive anything from you, whether it be money or food. If you offer them drink at a hot summer day, they will refuse. That is to say: They will most likely not even respond. To them you are air. They are unaffected by you.

Paul knew he was on his way to afflictions in Jerusalem, maybe even death. But he said: None of these things move me. They will not change my mind. Come whatever comes, I have a job to do. I have a ministry to fulfill. I am unmovable. I am unchangeable.

When Peter walked on water, the storms and the waves tried to take his eyes away from Jesus. When he moved his eyes from Jesus to the storm, he sank. We need to make up our minds like Paul. Nothing shall move me. Not any storm, Not any waves. Not any trials, or temptations. My eyes are on Jesus. My mission is to guard the truth. My goal is to reach the lost. To this I am committed. Just like the tree standing by the waters: I SHALL NOT BE MOVED

Day 95: No Blessing Goes Uncontested (Psalm 41:1–6, Luke 9:57–10:24, Deuteronomy 1:1–2:23 Psalm 41:1–6 For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around. Commentary Blessings contested by trouble, sickness and slander 1. Blessings on those who care for the poor B...
