“”Fight for Joy” pastor Loran Livingston, May 26, 2019 Central Chuch, Charlotte, NC

“Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS!” this is the Lord’s commandment to His children, as it’s written in Philippians 4:4. Remember that devil wants to steal your joy and substitute your joy for anything but Jesus. Faith & Joy always go together. Know that God in engaged in His creation and He is involved in everything in and around our lives. Jesus tell you today DO NOT WORRY! Jesus explained why in Matthews 28: 25-34. So your fight must be to stay safe and free from worries but ” Cast ALL your cares on Jesus because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7. When we cast our cares on Him – it shows that we trust God and believe Him that He is able to take care of us and able to handle ALL of our problems. “And without faith it is impossible to please God.” Hebrews 11:6 So trust the Lord and TODAY give away your burdens to JESUS. Jesus loves you and He is right there standing beside you, waiting for you to let Him to take care of you and take away ALL your burdens and give you HIS freedom and peace and JOY! Trust the Lord- HE is ABLE & HE is FAITHFUL!
