God Demonstrates Love For You In Everything He Does

We are talking about how God demonstrates love. Now, in your life, there are many things that go on, and sometimes, it might feel like you’re not loved, or that things just aren’t going your way. But you know what? You’re not alone.

Read Psalms. King David had a lot of times where he was questioning and calling out to God. “Why are you not here? Where are you? Why aren’t you with me?” All of those kinds of things.

So when you go through that in your life, it’s okay. But just try to limit those thoughts, because you want to be taking every thought captive, making it obedient to the Lord.

And obedience to the Lord is trusting in Him, and having faith in Him, and knowing in your heart and soul that He will guide you through.

And keep in mind that you want to be looking for the different ways that God demonstrates love in your life. So, hopefully, this sermon will help you learn to recognize those things, or appreciate those little things in your life.

We have a sermon on that, “Appreciate The Little Things,” you can check it out in a card up here. Go to our website, type in “Appreciate,” or “Little Things,” and it will come up in the search bar. So that is something that you need to start recognizing how God is demonstrating love in your life.

No. But, when you watch one or listen to one that you really like, share it. And same with a verse, with any other content that’s godly content, because that’s what we need to be doing. Sharing godly content on social media because there’s so much negative stuff on social media.

There’s so much harm on social media, and if we can be the light on social media, we are going to be the light, and we need you to help with that. So, think about how God demonstrates love in your life, and you could just share that on social media.

Think about this world, and how God is in control of everything in your life, and you say, “Ah, is He really in control of everything in your life?” Well, He should be.

If He’s not, it’s because you’re not allowing God to have the control of everything in your life. What thing are you holding on to, and you’re not giving to God? Let go of it right now in Jesus’ name.

If there were one thing, though, in this world that God didn’t control, then He wouldn’t be God. Think about that for a second. God is in control of everything in this world and in the universe, everywhere!

God is in control. Heavens, Earth, everything! God is in control, and if there were one thing He didn’t control, or He wasn’t in control of, He wouldn’t be God. That’s pretty significant.

That means that God is always in control. “I am the Lord. I am Yahweh, the God of all mankind, isn’t anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27. Nothing is too hard for God. Let’s go to Numbers 11:23 for a little bit more.

Numbers 11:23. “The Lord answered Moses, ‘Is the Lord’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true.’” Is the Lord’s arm too short? Nothing is too hard.

He can do anything, and everything He does in your life, He does because He loves you. God demonstrates love in your life, you just need to see it. Let’s go to Romans 5:8. “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

God didn’t wait for us to stop sinning and then send Jesus to die, because then you’re finally worthy. No! While you were still a sinner, while I was still a sinner, Christ died for us.

What does that mean? He died? He died, He took the punishment for our sins, He went to Hell, took all of that, took the punishment that was rightfully ours, so we don’t have to.

Why did Christ do that? Because He loves us. He loves us! Now, you, like anyone, would love to have a million dollars. I would love to have a million dollars. Think of what I could do with a million dollars.

Ha, in fact, what we want to do at Social Media Ministries, a million dollars wouldn’t even be enough to change the world. We would need a billion dollars. And we could spend it! We could build houses, we could build centers, we could buy equipment.

And what would we be doing? We could rescue people. We could house orphans. We could save people from victims of crime, of sex trafficking, and human trafficking. We would obviously, that would be a lot of money! Safe houses that are truly safe and protected from dangerous people.

Reaching the world on social media. That would take a lot of money. Paying for advertisements in every country, in every town, in every city. Trying to get into places where it might be banned.

Take a lot of money! We would love to have a million dollars – you would love to have a million dollars! So, you might go to the casino.

Okay, you might buy a lottery ticket, or play poker, or even pray asking God for a win, for a million dollars. But you know what? That’s the wrong prayer. We have a card right here. We have a sermon called, “Ask God For The Right Things.”

You need to be asking God for the right things. Because why? It may not be in God’s plan to give you a million dollars, because what would you truly do with it?

If you got a bonus, even $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, whatever, pick a number. If you’re asking God for it, He might not give it to you because it might not be in God’s plan for you to have that money.

Because He knows your heart. We have a sermon, “God Plans In Detail.” Check that one out. If you are asking for money, what are you going to do with it?

“Well, I’m going to top up my Roth IRA, max out the contribution there. I’m going to do the same for my spouse. Top up that IRA. Then we’re going to fully fund all of our children’s college accounts.”

Wait a minute. Sounds like you’re asking for money for yourself! Kind of selfish, wrong motives. If you’re asking for money for the wrong reasons, maybe you’re not going to get it.

If you’re asking for money for the right reasons, like what? Building the Kingdom, obviously you need money too, but if you wanted more money just to stockpile wealth, that doesn’t seem like God’s going to be giving you that.

He’ll probably give you more money if you’re using the money to build His Kingdom. So, it might not be in His plan for you to receive large sums of money. He’s demonstrating love by keeping that from you, because maybe that would ruin your life. Think about how it would change your life.

You know what God does, though? God demonstrates love for you by giving you the ability to earn more money. So you might not win the lottery, or you might not have an inheritance come your way, whenever you think you might need it, and you might see other people getting all kinds of money and wondering, “Why do they have it, and they just blow it!”

They’re not wise with their money. It might not be God giving them that money. It might be the powers of this world, the evil, and darkness, giving them that money as a distraction to keep them from God, to keep them from building the Kingdom, to keep them living in their frivolousness and foolishness.

Maybe you need to go into their life, and help them realize they need to be living for God, and how powerful it could be if they started living for God and used that money for God. And yeah, they might shun you, they might hate you, but, you can try.

Now, God gives you the ability to earn wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18. Deuteronomy 8:18 says, “But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant which He swore to your ancestors as it is today.”

God gives you the ability to build wealth, use that ability. He is demonstrating His love for you by giving you the ability to earn income, to make money, to grow your food, to do these things on Earth that bring a reward, an earthly reward, but also a heavenly reward.

Then, He is giving you the ability, the privilege, to manage all of these things that He gives you, and to use it, and manage it to build His Kingdom. Now, God isn’t always going to give you what you want because He loves you too much for that.

Now, remember that it’s okay to be rich. You can be very wealthy and use that wealth to build His Kingdom. We have a sermon, “Okay To Be Rich,” please check it out, because riches and wealth are a tool. It’s exactly like if you are someone who hangs drywall for a living, and how do you put the drywall in? With a screw gun. You screw the drywall to the studs, and hang it up.

Now, you can use the tool, and, by hand, try to screw those things in either with your fingers, maybe you upgrade to a screwdriver, maybe you have a drill, but now what if you have an automatic belt fed screw gun, where it’s like zh-zh-zh, wow!

Or maybe you’re trying to cut down a tree, and you’ve got an axe, and you’re working hard. Well, maybe now you’ve got a saw. Well, maybe now you’ve got a chainsaw. Alright.

You’re trying to build the Kingdom here on Earth, and you might have a little bit of money, your own income. Now, you add your spouse’s income. Now you’ve got two incomes. Now, you add more income, like donations from other people toward whatever charity or cause you’re trying to support, whether it’s your own or whether it’s another.

Social Media Ministries is being funded by how? Well, my income. Maybe some donations, but eventually, it can be funded by a lot more. And it’s not wealth for a person – it’s wealth for a Kingdom, and so it takes a lot to continue to build that Kingdom.

It’s a tool, and as long as we continue to use it as a tool, God will continue to pour it in. It needs to flow through. God will funnel billions of dollars through the hands of Christians if they are using it properly.

It can’t stop with you. Yes, you need to have a nest egg, you need to leave an inheritance for your children, and your children’s children. We have sermons on that, “Leave An Inheritance,” check it out, it’s a series.

You need to build wealth. You need to have an inheritance for your children’s children; it’s biblical, but you also need to be using that money to build the Kingdom – that’s biblical, too. It’s a full circle, you’ve got to do it all, and you’ll be blessed with more.

Think about how you’re not going to allow your child to only eat pop and candy. You wouldn’t just want them eating pop and candy all the time, because you love them too much to be that careless. God’s not simply going to say, “Here you go, have $10 million,” or, “Here you go, have all of this,” because He loves you too much for that.

He wants you to have the satisfaction in your work. He gives you the ability to earn wealth, and then to be satisfied in the work that you do, so that you’re seeing the results, and then He’s going to give you even more satisfaction of, “Hey, look, our bank accounts are full, our treasuries are full.”

“Hey, look, we are wise people, we have stores of choice, food, and oil. Hey, look, we are never lacking any good thing. Hey, look, when I’m generous with my money, I’m being blessed, because I see the impact that it’s doing. I see how it’s building God’s Kingdom, and I see people coming to the Lord.”

And you are blessed time and time again. You’re blessed from the hard work. You’re blessed by being rewarded. You’re blessed with all of the things God’s giving you. You’re being blessed in every aspect where you use the wealth that God has given you, so it’s okay to be rich!

God demonstrates His love by giving you that and by teaching you how to use it and properly steward everything, so that you can continue to be blessed. It’s a never-ending fountain. Your cup runneth over. All of these – it’s in the Bible.

God is telling you time and time again that He loves you and that He wants to bless you. If you listen to Him, you will be blessed. It’s like He’s always got this faucet on, and it’s running full blast, like a fire hose. And you’re over here, and you are over here on your own.

You’re like, “Yep, trying to build wealth, trying to build possessions, trying to do all this stuff” for you, or for your family, or you say you’re doing it for others, but in your heart it’s you, and when you realize,

“Hey, it’s never-ending over here. Is anything too hard for God? Is my arm too short? He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He has everything. All the world’s wealth are in His hands. I’m going to move over here.”

And when you move over here, you’re doing what God wants you to do. You’re under that never-ending blessing, and it just keeps coming, and coming, and coming, in all these aspects that you can watch and you can see how God is demonstrating His love for you.

But if you decide, “No, I want to do it myself,” or “I want to build my own well,” you’re pulling away from that faucet. God’s not cursing you, God’s not withholding blessing from you. The blessings are still going, they’re flowing.

Whether you’re under them or not is up to you. Listen to God. He loves you and will do what’s best for you. All the time. God will do what’s best for you. Let’s go to Romans 8:28.

Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

God works for you. Are you working for God? Remember in everything, we’re supposed to work as if we’re working for the Lord. So if you’re working for God, God’s working for you. Boy, I can’t think of a better person to have working for me than God.

I want to hire an influencer to get Social Media Ministries out there a little bit more. They can do nothing compared to what God could do as an influencer. So, if I’m working for God, He can be working for me, and what’s He working for?

Well, He’s not working for me for my agenda, because I’ve taken His agenda, and we are now working together. How can I work for Him, and He work for me? It can’t!

The only solution is that you work together. So, now you’re working together with God! Think of how powerful that is, think about a pet.

You’ve got a dog, or something, and you’ve got them on a leash, and they’re walking around, and they’re out in the yard, and all of a sudden now they’re stuck around a tree, or something. And so you’re like, “Oh man, I know what’s best for that dog. I can bring them around and get them unstuck.”

But the dog wants to go in the house, and the house is this way, and they’re stuck around the tree right here, and you are bringing them from this way, away from the house, you’re like, “Come on, come on!”

And they’re resisting with everything they have! They say, “No, I want to go this way, but I can’t, I’m stuck, I’m stuck, I’m stuck!” And you’re like, “Come on, this way!” And they don’t want to go that way, but eventually they do, and they get around the tree, and all of sudden they realize they’re not stuck, and boom, they take off.

And there they go, they’re free. That’s like us. God knows what’s best for us, and He’s trying to pull you around. “Come on, come over here! Get under my blessing! If you just listen to me for a little bit, yes, I know it seems like it might be the wrong way, I know!”

On Earth you want to go like this, but no, come on, come on! Let me get you around this tree, so that you can be free and unstuck and in the flow of the blessing, like the super current!”

Trust God, He knows what’s best for you. Exactly like you know what’s best for your child, or your animal. You do what you can do to help them, and they trust you. You have to trust God, because He knows what’s best for you.

Now, sometimes, you may not know what’s best for your child, or you may do something that you think is best, but it’s not, and it might end up maybe hurting them, or causing a problem. That’s because we’re human. The difference is, God always knows what’s best. He always knows what’s best for us, so trust Him in everything.

Let’s go to Psalms 139:1-6, “You have searched me, oh Lord, and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down.

You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, You, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind, and before, and You lay Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.”

God knows what’s best for you. He knows everything about you. That level of knowledge is too much for us to handle, too much for us to attain, so trust that God knows what’s best and rely on Him, and look for the different ways in your life that God demonstrates love, and believe it, because He loves you.

So get out there and do everything you can to live in that love, and remember that God is always in control. Follow Him, trust Him, and rely on Him.

Let’s pray.

Father, thank You so much that You are in control, that we have a God—Yahweh, You, that is in control of everything, that we can just fully rely on and trust You, that we really don’t have a care in the world, that we can live in bliss through You. Now, of course, this life isn’t going to be easy, and we know that, you’ve told us that.

And we accept that, as believers, that we have a purpose, and a calling here on Earth to do the hard things, to bring more people into the faith, to grow our family, to be fruitful and multiply, making more brothers and sisters in Christ – in the faith, to share our faith and bring more people in, adopting more, and more, and more.

And help everyone, Lord, to see how You demonstrate love in their life. That they would live in Your blessing, that they would trust You with everything, that they would fully rely on You, that they would live by faith and generosity in all aspects of their life.

That they would really, truly understand that living a life building the Kingdom is much better than living a life building themselves.

In Jesus’ Amen.
