Walking into your Future

 Telugu Worship Service Message


Introduction:

Welcome!  Prabhuvayina Yesu Kreestu Naamamuna Mee andarini aahavanistunnanu.

My pastor is not a telugu speaking person. But he has burden for the telugu community.

That is the Fathers heart.


We have children’s Church from next service. Where Children will be taught Telugu Songs.


Lets get into the Word of God.

Amen Hallelujah


Walking into your future:


Many years, our Pastor wants to get into the future.  But I am kind of giving excuses.


Gods Plan

We are living in a time where people are confused about their future.


Jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


11 ​నేను మిమ్మునుగూర్చి ఉద్దేశించిన సంగతులను నేనెరుగుదును, రాబోవు కాల మందు మీకు నిరీక్షణకలుగునట్లుగా అవి సమాధానకర మైన ఉద్దేశములేగాని హానికరమైనవి కావు; ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.


Lord Jesus has a plan for you.


To see this plan fulfilling, 


you don’t have to perform, 

You have to believe.



Religion will make you perform.

But God hates performance, God loves Faith.


Many people don’t understand what God has set before you for your future.


Walking into Blessed Future

Hebrews 11:8

8 అబ్రాహాము పిలువ బడినప్పుడు విశ్వాసమునుబట్టి ఆ పిలుపునకు లోబడి, తాను స్వాస్థ్యముగా పొందనైయున్న ప్రదేశమునకు బయలువెళ్లెను. మరియు ఎక్కడికి వెళ్లవలెనో అది ఎరుగక బయలువెళ్లెను.



Abraham heard and left

We are people who dwell in comfort zones.

Manaki anni set avvalu. 

Manaki weekend kavali.

Manaki anni set ayitene gaani mana vellamu.

Piluva badina meeraanduru vaccharu.

Praise God.



After work from home started, now if companies are calling to come to office, now it is very hard to get up and go.


“When you sit , You can sit in your present, but when you walk, you walk into your future.”


Whenever you are taking a decision or making a choice. You are moving into your future.


Life always throws options at us. And you got to make a choice


Why do many people get stuck in their current state?


So many people get stuck in their routine not progressing in their life.

See when a child is not changing his grade year after year, then parents get worried.


But the grownups think there is nothing to grow.

Recreation parks, horse rides..


How do people get adjusted in their current state?

Adjusting to sin.

Adjusting to sickness.

Adjusting to relationship issues.



**If you get used to the places that are not in God's purposes and are roaming there, then there is a danger of perishing there.**



Numbers 13:


31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the [h]giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like[i] grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”


There is a future before them, but they were not ready to go.


Israelites said We are not able to go up  - Fear 

** Information Age - Too much of Information brings fear **

** googled about this disease. This exam too much of information **


** Fear stops people to step into their future**

Because too much Meditation on the problem increases more fear.

If your heart is full of fear...where is the place for faith?


సమస్య

Problem says you cannot win

Problem says this is too difficult

Diseases says this can never get better

Reports says you have to live with this condition forever


**What God says about you is more important than what the problem says about you.**


Numbers 14 : 1That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! 


One of things that stops Gods people to enter into their future is their sanugudu, grumbling.

Israelites are same like telugu people.


Aa grumbling attitude vunte, Israel people ela stuck ayipoyaaro ala stuck ayipotara.



SO HOW do we walk into a God ordained future?

Devuni yokka vuddesalu loki ela nadavagalamu



**** To walk into blessed future*****

Hatred.

First thing is  believers have to ‘Hate Sin”, “Hate sickness”

“Hate impurity”, “Hate lies” , 

Hate what God hates

Devudu ashyinchukune vaatini ashinchyukovali.


Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [a]mammon.


Hatred - Dvenshinchali.

You have to hate these things that are making you adjusted to current life and becoming an hindrance to walk into your God ordained future.

Proverbs 8 : 13  The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;


Children of Israel were walking in the wilderness.

**They got so used to the wilderness, that they perished in the wilderness.**


** Nee WIlderness ni Dveshinchi,,, Nee Devunni Premiste,  Nee Bhavishyattuloki Adugupedatavu**


We are talking about Blessed Future.


First you should know what is blessed.

How can a person be blessed in this world?


For any man to be blessed, God has put one condition? 

Whether you are a Indian, CHinese, African, Antarcitican, arctican, 

That is, you should be

Son of Abraham.


There is no blessing for anybody in the world outside of Abraham.

Actually, what is this blessing Abraham has?


Son of Abraham


Genesis 22:18

18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” 


Genesis 12:3  And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”


God already said to Abraham In you,  that means only in Abraham all nations are blessed.


Galatians 3:6-9

 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing in Abraham.


Those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

Which faith - Faith in Lord Jesus Christ.


Identity is important -  

Today if we ask what is your identity. I am  so and so, i belong to this. 

But First thing is you are Abraham son. Then you are heir of the promise


Sonship

**Older son - did not ***

Podupu katha:   Intlo anni vuntayi kaani tinaledu.



Luke 15:28-32

28 “But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. 29 So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’

31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”



Abraham’s promise is fulfilled when Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross and rose again on the third day and victorious over death.

So when you believe in Christ, You are blessed with a Glorious future.

Eternal Life.




****** now we know what is Blessed******


Now let us go back to the first verse we saw. Abraham walked into his future, obeyed. Gods Word.

Heard Gods Word.



Hebrews 11:8

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going



***God’s calling place is better than your comfort zone.***


Manavallu okkosari problems vunna kaani adjustment zone chesukuntaru.

For example, leg nerve pain vundanukondi, first lo konchem pain vuntadi, different things try chestamu.  Tarvata idi intile, deenithone jeevinchalani ane adjustment zone loki velipotamu.


But God’s Word says By His Stripes we are healed.

Manaki telusu,  we know that Word, we by hearted that Word, we prayed that Word. but we don’t see results.


But there is power in agreement, 

You got to agree with the Word of God. we will see great things.

Because God is not partial. 


One more example:

Kontamandi konni addictions lo vuntaaru.

News addictions.


They know that something is wrong to , but they get adjusted to that lifestyle.

Kontamandi raka rakala vysanalu.

And they come to the fact that cannot win those battles and lives a defeated life.


Kaani vaakyamu emani selvistundi

You got to break those addiction life styles , sinful life styles and walk into the Holy Future.


Mana mind ni pattesi bandinchina vaatinunchi separate avvakapote, jeevitamulo eppudu Devuni pratyakshta choddalevu



How can a man life without sin, a victorious life.


Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.


**You need to walk out of God rejected things and walk into Gods purposed future.**


Faith is


So By Faith Abraham walked into his future

So how can you walk into your future is by Faith.


How do we walk into your future?


a) Become One with Promise:


You got to know the promises of God.


Exodus 23:25

25 “So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.


In Conclusion,

Where did you get stuck? What is the problem you are facing?


Who can help me? God’s HolySpirit is the One who can help us to walk into our blessed future.

God has the best plan for you. God has the best future for you.

Wisdom - Doubt - Promise

 James 1

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.



God is Wonderful

He is liberal in giving.

Especially when we ask for wisdom He is very liberal.

He does not look at our qualifications,  He does not see our status, but He gives.


When God gives, what should man do?

Receive


Many people don't ask, so they don't receive.

Some people ask , but don't receive.

Few ask and receive


Doubt is the biggest hindrance for receiving from God.

Double minded/ Unstable mind


He believes in God, but again a doubt comes, then he becomes double minded.


Many people rebuke devil for their not receving.

But you should rebuke your mind first.


this double minded person will not receive anything from the Lord.

Stable ,fixed .


A mind planted in the Word of God.


Psalm 1



Fixed mind



Paul fixed his eyes


Acts 14:8-11

8 And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. 9 This man heard Paul speaking. [c]Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked. 11 



James 1:5

 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him


God is a giver.


Doubt - weakens faith


James 1: 6 for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 


Double minded:

A mind that is divided


Faith and Fear cannot dwell together.


Being one with the promise


Word of God is established forever


I am not moved by what I see and hear. Am moved by what I believe


Dealing with Mind


1 Peter 1:13

13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 



Before Mary received Jesus in her womb, She received the word in her mind.


Luke 1:38

38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.”


Believer in heart.


Doubter in mind.



What word is taking flesh?

A believer's word in the spirit,  an unbeliever's word in the mind.


Punish disobedience

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.


Be very hard on the unrenewed self


Smith Wigglesworth  -  Lester Sumrall 


Be one mind with Word of God


Elijah 

Widows offering



Elijah and the Widow

Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.” 11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”

12 So she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a [a]jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”

13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’ ”

15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah.



this widow is no Shunammite woman to provide for Elijah.

Elijah knows God commanded this woman, but she is a widow and had nothing.

But Elijah did not doubt


Widow didnot doubt



Becoming One with the Promise of God.
