We'll go bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area,

please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make it feel

right at home. I like to start with something funny and I heard about this young man. He

was a huge football fan. He bought two tickets to the Super Bowl months ahead of time, not realizing

it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. He paid $2,000 each for the tickets. So he put

an ad on Facebook asking if anyone would like to go in his place. He said it will be at three o'clock

at first Baptist church and her name is Tiffany. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I

am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the word of

God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus

name. God bless you. I want to talk to you today about the God who goes before you. We all face

situations where we don't see a way out. The obstacles look too big. We've had the problem so long.

Our dream seems impossible. This is the way the Israelites fell. They were headed toward the

promised land. They had all kinds of people coming against them opposition from every direction.

They felt overwhelmed, outnumbered, inadequate. In the natural they didn't have a chance. But God

said to them in Isaiah I will go before you and level the mountains. I will break down gates of

bronze and cut through bars of iron so that you will know I am the Lord your God the one who

summons you by name. You may have big obstacles in your path. Situations in your health,

your finances, or relationship. You don't see how it could work out. The odds are against you.

But God is saying to you what he said to them I'm going to go before you and level those mountains.

Whatever is trying to stop you. A mountain of sickness, a mountain of addictions, a mountain of

depression. It may look insurmountable to you but it is no match for our God. One touch of his

favor he'll turn that mountain into level ground. That means you won't even have to climb over it.
