If I had the opportunity to go back and tell past me any piece of advice, what would that advice be? And I concluded the advice would simply be this. It's never too early nor too late to listen, follow, and build your life upon Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 0:25

Put Jesus first. When you wake up in the morning, put him first. When you're tired, put him first. You've got to put Jesus first. Before your job, before your desires, before your dreams, put him first. Put him first in your schedule. Then put him first in your finances. Put him first.

SPEAKER_06 0:50

Put Jesus first. Because I I've come to tell you that when you put Jesus first, he's able to do a sudden and he is able to do a radical and a complete change. When you put Jesus first, he's able to effect a fundamental change in your life. He's able to overthrow certain powers that rule the decisions in our in our in our ways of thinking and our direction. When we put Jesus first.

SPEAKER_05 1:21

That means that when you and I get depressed and hurting and broken and lost, Jesus came to rescue us. Jesus says it this way for the Son of Man, that's what he called himself, came to seek and to save what was lost. And if you follow Jesus, you'll find healing. If you follow Jesus, he will lead you to hope. If you follow Jesus, he will lead you to experience everlasting joy. That is on the horizon. But we get so consumed with our own circumstances, get this, that we never look up. I'm here to tell you, got some good news for you today. I've read the end of the story. It's a spoiler alert. We win. Now I know that there's pain to be pain and it's difficulty now, and I know that you and I will both have life-wrecking days in our life, but we just need to keep our eyes up because in the end we win. That God has promised to set everything right in the end, and if it's not right, it's not the end. If it's not good, he's not done.

SPEAKER_04 2:21

And one of the things that Jesus teaches you and I to do is make sure that we build our lives upon him to where he becomes our secure foundation. And this is what people have unfortunately done. Instead of making him our secure foundation, some of us, for one reason or another, have decided to substitute Jesus for other things in this life. We've made our careers our secure foundation. We've made our finances our secure foundation. We've made our relationships a secure foundation. We've made our status in life a secure foundation. And let me tell you, if you're here today and you have not made Jesus your secure foundation, you are playing a very dangerous game. Here's the one thing that I can tell you about life: life can get difficult. As a matter of fact, Jesus made us a promise. He said, In this life, you will have trouble. But there's something amazing when you look at the difference between the person whose life is going through trouble and they have built their life on career and finances and uh relationships and all that stuff, versus the person who has built their life on Christ, the solid rock. It is a game changer. And I want you to see what Jesus says in the next verse. He says in the next verse, verse number 25, he says, Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. From this day forward, I'm going to listen, follow, and build my life on Jesus. Don't make the mistake of being so comfortable that you fail to make Jesus a priority in your life. You know how we know what our priorities are?

SPEAKER_01 4:28

What do you put your time into? If you don't have time to spend with Jesus, I'm talking regularly. I'm not talking occasionally. I'm talking regularly. And you don't give him leftovers, you give him the best. Put him first in everything that you do, and you know what? Some of the upside down things in your life will turn right side up. A lot quicker than you think they will. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Jesus taught us to pray, give me today my daily bread. It's like the manna in the wilderness that was provided for the Israelites every day. It is a daily provision. It is not a lifetime supply. Pray about everything. So if you're a novice of prayer, let me suggest you begin by carving out 15 minutes at the beginning of every day. You get in a secluded spot where you're not going to be interrupted. You go down to your knees and you pray out loud and you review everything that happened yesterday that you can remember. Pray about everything and thank God that He got you through. Then you go to the day and you list what's on your calendar and your thoughts and say, Lord, anoint me and prepare me for the things that I have today. And when you pray about everything, you come, your thinking changes. God's taking care of me yesterday. I believe he'll take care of me today.

SPEAKER_02 5:54

So you've got to carve out time. You've got to make a moment in your day, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes, whatever it is for you, to say, I'm gonna put everything to the side phones, family, job, all that stuff, and say, I'm gonna sit and meet with the Lord. I'm gonna retreat to Jesus.

SPEAKER_06 6:14

You have to open up your heart and ask Jesus to be your Lord and your Savior. Romans chapter 10, verse 9 says that if you confess with your mouth that the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Revelation chapter 3, verse 20 says, Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in.

SPEAKER_03 6:43

To put him first, we need to follow him, to follow him, to have friendship and fellowship with him, and ultimately to put your faith in him.

SPEAKER_06 7:02

You've got to seek him. Matthew chapter 6, verse 33. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Proverbs 8, 17. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me. Isaiah 55, verse 6 says, Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near. Hebrews 11 6 says, He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. What does this mean? This means that we've got to make every opportunity possible to seek the Lord.

SPEAKER_03 7:49

See, here's the thing: don't grow distant from Jesus. All of us have friends, all of us have people that that time and life has kind of gotten in the way and things have grown distant, maybe literally distant, or maybe just emotionally, or or but don't grow distant from Jesus.

SPEAKER_04 8:08

Don't grow distant from Jesus. I don't care how young you are, I don't care how old you are, it is never too early nor too late to start listening, following, and building your life on Jesus.
