Speaker: Pastor Diego Rodriguez
Message Title: Preparing for the Storm
Scripture: Matt.26:41;  Psalms 1:1-3.

Any given week I speak to a multiple people who are dealing with some type of struggle. Whatever it be fighting with a loved one, drug addiction, not knowing what to do about a certain situation. A lot of the people questions and decision would be made clear to them before getting to me if they would be on prayer prior to speaking with me.

I’m not talking about a five minute prayer after the fact. I’m talking about a prayer life before any decisions even after to be made. Before any temptations creep up.

Matt 26:41

⁴¹ “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

 

Jesus said this to his disciple’s right before being betrayed. Jesus went off to pray when he returned they were asleep. When the guards came they ran Jesus stood there and allowed God’s will to be done.

When trouble hits our house we don’t always have time to stop and pray. It’s too late. If, we can get ourselves to pray beforehand we would have the wisdom, knowledge and strength to handle it.

Psalm 1

¹ Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
² but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
³ That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers

Prepare for the storm before you enter one. Meditate (pray) night and day over the things in your life. Decision’s you might have to make and all other things in your life. Pray.

Be Blessed in Jesus name.
