Well, God 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 it will make you feel right at home. Thanks so much for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out today.

I like to start with something funny. I heard about this minister. He was finishing up a fiery sermon on self-control.

He said with great passion, if I had all the beer in the world, I would throw it into the river. With a greater fervor, he said, if I had all the wine in the world, I would throw it into the river.

I would throw it into the river, sat down. The song lead her stepped up. Said for our closing song, let's sing him 365, Shall we gather at the river?

Hold up your Bible, 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 your coming out. We all face situations that look permanent in our health, our relationships, our career. It's easy to think that that's the way it's always going to be.

I will always struggle with this addiction. I will always have to deal with this depression. I will always be at this same level. I will never break out of the rut, do something great.

Just because it seems permanent to us doesn't mean that it's permanent to God. God doesn't allow you to get into anything that he can't bring you out of.

Even if it was your own fault, you brought the trouble on yourself. God wouldn't have allowed it if he didn't have a way out. He knew how to get you out of the trouble before you got in the trouble.

He knows the end from the beginning. He had the solution even before you had the problem. It may look to you like it's never going to change. But God is saying it's temporary.

You're coming out of that sickness. You're coming out of chronic pain. You're coming out of loneliness. That debt, that addiction, that legal trouble is not going to last forever.

It didn't come to stay. It came to pass. God has already made a way of escape. He's already planned your coming out party. It's just a matter of time before you see the breakthrough, the healing, the abundance, the restoration, the new level.

The Scripture says in Job that God has set an end to the difficulty. He has set an end to that trouble. God is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. He's already set an end to the sickness and end to the addiction and end to that injustice at work.

You're coming out date has already been established. Now when thoughts tell you, it's never going to change. You might as well accept that this is as good as it gets. You have to remind yourself, I will not always be lonely. God has set an end to this loneliness. He's bringing somebody great into my life.

I will not always struggle in my finances. God has set an end to this lack. He has promotion, increase, abundance coming my way.

Or this child that's off course is not always going to cause me heartache. The creator of the universe, the one who spoke worlds into existence has already decided the final date.
