Don’t put your hope in your circumstances or in people; they may let you down. Put your hope in the Lord.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."Deut.31:6
...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Heb 13:5) Be mindful of the presence of God with you today, He is in you, He is for you & He loves you!
Love in His Grace, Pastor Joe-
He IS Your Purpose-
Do you realize you ARE IN HIM-
What does that mean-
It's been my desire as Your Pastor to get you to know WHO YOU ARE-
God not only forgives,
He restores.
He makes you whole.
He puts you back on the path toward your purpose.
God knows what He’s doing.
He has your best interest at heart.
It’s not random. It’s part of His plan.
Dare to trust Him.
Col. 2:10
You are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Many of the Questions Jesus asked ALL had to do with YOU-
Where are YOU-
What do you want me to do for you? (Mark 10:51)
Why are you trying to trap me? (Mark 12:15)
Could you not keep watch for one hour? (Mark 14:37)
When Jesus was 12
Why were you searching for me?
Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house? (Luke 2:49)
Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? (Luke 5:22)
Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? (Luke 5:23)
Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46)
Where is your faith? (Luke 8:25)
What is your name? (Luke 8:30)
YOU ARE IN HIM NOW-
When God gave us Jesus,
He gave us His best!
We are truly rich because we have Christ, our all in all.
When we have Jesus, we truly have everything.
Jesus is our wisdom,
our righteousness,
our sanctification,
our redemption and
our success.
In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge of God-
When you need wisdom, Christ is your wisdom.
Wisdom is the intuitive knowledge of insight-
Not in your old nature or your senses-
But in the Born again Spirit!
1 Corinthians 1:30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
When you need righteousness, Christ is your righteousness.
God made Him to be Sin- that you would BE
When you need sanctification & redemption-
Christ is both to you.
When you need faith, He is your faith.
It's becoming who you are-
LEMON TREE- SEED- DNA
When you are fearful of the odds against you, He is your favor.
When you are weak, He is your strength.
When you are troubled ,
He is your peace.
When you feel vulnerable,
He is your shield.
When you are lonely, He is your faithful companion.
And when you are sick,
He is your healing and health.
Jesus, the great I AM says to whatever you need is found in Me-
You Are Rich!!
Because you have Christ.
And in Christ you are complete.
Don’t wait to have this or that before you feel complete.
You are already complete in Christ-
The purpose of every Believer's life is to be a blessing.
God has things for you to do—wherever you are.

You may be up against some big enemies. Refuse to worry; quit letting it upset you. The battle is not yours; the battle is the Lord's.
When you refuse to worry, you are putting your faith in God. You have more confidence in His love and power working for you than in the enemy's ability to harm you! When you refuse to worry, but choose to rest in the finished work of Christ, you will see the manifestation of your blessing. You will see your miracle!

love in His Grace, Pastor Joe-
He has mercy for every mistake, grace for every weakness, faith for every fear & Peace for every storm-
Jesus was and is always in perfect control. And one of the reasons He was so powerful was that He walked in the shalom (peace) of God.
Jesus said; "My Peace I give to You..."
The word “peace” in John 14:27 is the word “shalom” in Hebrew. It means wellness, wholeness, completeness, as well as peace of heart and mind.
Having shalom means having every part of your spirit, soul and body well.
So what did Jesus mean when He said, “Shalom I leave with you. Not the world’s shalom, but My shalom”?
This is what He meant~ “The shalom you saw Me living in; the shalom you saw Me sleep in, in that boat; the shalom you saw Me walk in, in the midst of the people who wanted to stone Me; the shalom that renders the devil powerless to touch Me; this shalom, My shalom, I give to you.”
This is the peace that Jesus has given to us. It is not a worldly peace that comes through soothing music, meditation or deep breathing. It is more effective than that! It is not dependent on circumstances and it works in the midst of the storms of life.
Let the Peace of God flow in and through you- Col.3:15
Love in His Grace;
Pastor Joe Sabolick
Your answers indicates what You Believe-
Take some Time With Jesus, Read & Answer Them- Be Blessed-
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Cor. 1:20
Christians for the most part believe God can do anything, and many believe that He has made promises to heal, deliver, bless, and prosper His children. But some of these same believers find themselves unable to believe the Word with what they experience. As a result live in frustration wondering why God's promises don't seem to be working for them. But you know what? Healing, deliverance, prosperity and blessings are already ours!
Tap into your inheritance- Believe & Receive as you confess His Promise over your Life-
Love in Christ, Pastor Joe Sabolick
It's Time To See God's Mighty Hand in Your Life- read below-
Time to get rid of any thoughts that are holding you back.
You may not see how you can do it in your own ability, but you're not on your own. You have the most powerful force in the universe breathing in and through you. God created you to rise higher, to break barriers of the past, to overcome bad habits, and to be free from the curse. People may have labeled you at risk, average and less than, but God labels you well able, equipped, anointed, creative, a masterpiece. The good news is that people don't determine your destiny, God does. What they said about you, the environment you're in now, or how you were raised cannot keep you from your purpose.
God has already taken into account every detail of your life, every bad break, every negative comment, how you were raised or what somebody did.
He's factored that all into His plan.
Time to stay in faith, instead of holding you back, it will propel you forward. Instead of defeating you, it'll make you stronger. God knows how to take what was meant for your harm and use it to your advantage!
Love in His Grace,
Pastor Joe Sabolick
"The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom." Deuteronomy 28:13
Gen. 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
God will turn that battlefield into a blessing field-
If you’re fighting fear, negativity, or worries about the future because of something in your past or present- No matter what the situation; Understand God is with you, He is for you, and He wants you to live free — free from worry, free from lack, and free from discouragement.
The enemy may have meant it for your harm, but he doesn’t have the last say.
God will turn that battlefield into a blessing field.
love in His Grace, Pastor Joe Sabolick-
✝️Speak to the guilt, the depression, fear & addiction “It Is Finished!" You Possess What You Confess-📖
Jesus Said-
MARK 11:23
23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart, but believes that those things they say will come to pass, they will have whatever they say.
Jesus said that you will have whatever you say -- dependent on believing and not doubting. Think of that. What you say determines what you get in life.
Faith Must Speak
MATTHEW 17:20
20 So Jesus said to them, "for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
LUKE 17:6
6 So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, `Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
Faith must be released through words. All we receive from God must be received by faith (Romans 5:2; Galatians 3:14; Hebrews 6:12; Matthew 9:29). So, you will receive God's blessing in line with the words you speak.
Hold Fast Your Confession
HEBREWS 3:1; 4:14
1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
HEBREWS 10:23
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Your confession is what you say. You should persistently continue speaking in faith, agreeing with what God has said, regardless of circumstances. If it never seemed like it was not working, there would be no need to hold fast, or hang on, to a confession of faith.
love in Christ, Pastor Joe-
Be strong and of good courage. God has already armed you with strength for every battle-
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, Eph.1:3
You Are Blessed Today- line your thoughts up with your position-
Prepare what you are praying for-
Believe God's promise with whatever you are facing- BECAUSE HE IS WITH YOU AS A CHILD OF HIS-
He has not left you or abandoned you- Go forward in FAITH & BELIEVE-
Isaiah 43:2 says, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Love in His Grace, Pastor Joe-
Read on...
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
To make one complete rotation in 24 hours, the Earth 🌏 rotates 1000 MPH. Gravity holds us tight to the surface of our planet-
In addition to spinning on its axis, the Earth also revolves around the Sun. We are approximately 93 million miles from the Sun, and at that distance, it takes us one year (365 days) to go around once.
The full path of the Earth's orbit is close to 600 million miles. To go around this immense circle in one year takes a speed of 66,000 MPH.
Our Sun and the Earth are moving through our universe about 43,000 MPH (miles per hour)-
So, what's your hurry today?
Take a moment and Praise Our Living & Loving God!
He Has YOU In The Palm Of His Hand-
Love in His Grace, Pastor Joe-
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you- Eph.4:32
God only tells us to forgive because God in Christ has forgiven us a debt we cannot pay. When we do this, we do ourselves a favor because harboring bitterness and unforgiveness can sometimes destroy our health!
Once you forgive by faith, you will see the sting of bitterness removed from your heart. You will experience the peace and joy of God filling your mind, and see a greater measure of wholeness in your body!
Love in His Grace- Pastor Joe ✝️💜🙏
Jesus promises us peace that passes understanding. That’s peace when it doesn’t make sense.
See You Sunday at 10AM- You Are No longer a slave but A Son & Daughter of The Most High God!
My message tomorrow will be on getting out of the slave mentality and start being in The Son Mentality!
See you there! YAY!!
People may have rejected you, but God has accepted you.
Eph. 1:6 So we praise God for the glorious grace He has poured out on us who belong to His dear Son.
7. He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
8. He has showered His kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
May you walk in The Revelation Of His Amazing Grace, Love & Power He Has imparted to You!
It's Yours, You Have it! Lift your hands & Praise Him-
Love in His Grace, Pastor Joe.
No matter what you face, stay anchored to hope.
No reason to fear- God IS with you today-
When you fear & doubt, you are actually believing that the devil has the power to make inroads into your life that God cannot protect you from. But when you refuse to fear & doubt, you are putting your faith in God. You have more confidence in His love and power working for you than in the devil’s ability to harm you! When you refuse to fear, but choose to rest in the finished work of Christ, you will see the manifestation of your blessing. You will see your miracle!
love in His Grace, Joe
Don’t judge their whole life on one season, one mistake-
Give people the grace to change. Don’t judge their whole life on one season, one mistake.
How you respond to a situation will influence those around you.
When you receive grace, mercy & peace from God on the inside, you’ll bring Grace, Mercy & Peace on the outside to those around you-
In John 8 Jesus forgave a woman who was caught in an immoral act- The Law Brought Death- But Jesus brought Grace, Truth, Love & Forgiveness-
Jesus brought the question; "let the person without sin cast the first stone-"
People make mistakes and do things of regret- But God IS Rich in Mercy-
Jesus said; Matt. 6:14 "If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
Let His Grace, Mercy & Peace shine through you today-
Love in His Grace, Pastor Joe-
Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Praise Him Him Now & Get ready- Your season is here. You’re about to see unexpected favor!
Luke 1: 46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Mary makes a very clear distinction between her soul magnifying the Lord and her spirit rejoicing.
Our soul is the part of us that is considered to be our personality. It is our intellect, emotions and will. Our spirit is the part that gets changed at salvation and it is always operating in "love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance" (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 5:22-23). That's true whether our souls (feelings and emotions) "feel" it or not.
Many believers wait until their emotions feel like praising the Lord before they enter in to worship. They think it's hypocritical to act like they are rejoicing in the Lord if they don't "feel" it. But our spirits are always rejoicing in the Lord. It's actually hypocritical to go by our feelings and not magnify the Lord with our souls when our born again spirits are already rejoicing.
Our born again spirits are always in tune with the Lord and walking in the joy of the Lord. Our flesh is often dominated by what it sees and feels.
Sometimes it doesn't feel like praising the Lord, but the choice rests with our souls. If we choose to praise the Lord, our emotions will follow.
The decision is yours (Dt. 30:19).
Today, choose to walk in the Joy of the Lord.
See You Sunday at New Creation Church-
