Opening
From the start of this Series: The “Four Seasons of Life” we learned that:
Seasons of Life are Beyond our control
Seasons of Life are Often Confusing
God has a purpose for every season of life
Seasons of Life Includes both good & bad times
And that You will reap in season, what you sow in another
We learned how to biblically deal with our loneliness
We learned how to biblically deal with our insecurities
We learned how to biblically deal with our financial stress
The past 3 seasons of life that we discussed previously are of “discouraging nature”
But today, I have good news for everybody.
Jesus is alive!
and, He is there in every season of our lives
He is there in every season
Jesus is “Encouraging” you, me, and all of us here today!
I know surely by heart that the words that we are about to hear today are from the Lord
This very noisy world, tends to suppress the small, but very powerful voice of God
And unless we give God our attention, we will miss very important and life changing messages that He has for you, for me, and for all of us here
The other Friday (September the 15th), I had another encounter with the Spirit of God
Today’s original topic is supposed to be about “enjoyment”
However, as we grow, we become more and more sensitive to hearing the Spirit of God
I continue to yield to the Spirit as I grow in my faith with Jesus
The story of my recent encounter with the Lord goes like this....
Story about Pastor Matt Fogle (wife Jen)
Very early on that faithful Friday morning
This fellah was my second call and I picked him up from Coronado and brought him to his destination in PB
It was a good 15 minutes-ish ride
The Lord spoke five words to me through him, and he goes...
“Moments of Clarity and Encouragement”
He was on the phone, so I waited for him to finish before I could thank him for those words
His name is Matt
He is from Illinois
and I was his very first “uber” ride
He is from Illinois
Matt was my second call and I picked him up from Coronado and brought him to his destination in PB
It was a good 15 minutes-ish ride
The Lord spoke five words to me through Matt
Moments of Clarity and Encouragement
He was on the phone, so I waited for him to finish before I could thank him for those words
They’re here in San Diego for a retreat, and with him was 20 young men
The purpose of the retreat is to help boys to grow as young men
Help them get their rhythm in life
In the course of our conversation, I asked.. is this some sort of a ministry?
And boom!
It was a christian ministry based in Nebraska, and Matt is a Pastor
God talk to us through the Bible, the people around us, the circumstances that we’re into at that time
Hearing God is just like tuning into a radio station
If you miss the frequency even just by a fraction of a digit, or a hairline twist on your dial knob, you’ll miss it
Distractions in life are like “magnetic fields” that distorts the the clarity of its sound
It takes focus, practice, and consistency until you can truly hear the Lord speaking to you clearly
I said this before, and I’ll say it again.. It’s like those constellations in the universe, so vast that we can hardly comprehend
Connecting those stars in a constellation are unfathomable, we could hardly understand
To hear what the Lord is telling you..
you gotta connect the dots, like the way how those stars are aligned in those constellations
You gotta:
Surrender your life to God
Read the Bible
Spend time in His quiet presence
Seek good counsel
Know your gifts (your abilities)
Know your passion (listen to your heart)
See the opportunities around you
Know your circumstances
Feel God’s timing
When all, or most of these, landed in the right place… Take the initiative
Otherwise, you will be paralyzed
Or on the other hand, you will always end up trying and failing (trial & error, hit and miss)
When I wrote the words on the invitations that we sent out for today’s celebration, what I said was...
“Wherever you are in your journey through life.
Wether you’re sailing smooth, or going through the rough seas, God has a Word for you”.
And we invited you to find out what the Lord has to say
For yourself to discover “New Horizons” and meet great & God-fearing friends
I don’t know your situations, I don’t know your circumstances, I don’t know what you’re going through, I don’t really know why you are here... I don’t know!
But, three things I surely know..
God loves you
and He has a great purpose for your life
and He has a great purpose for your life
And today starts the Season of Clarity and Encouragement for you
And today starts the Season of Clarity and Encouragement for you
Turn to your neighbor and say… God loves you… He has a great purpose for your life...

Is where we can find the accurate accounts of incidents when…
Jesus Calms the Storm
This happened in Galilee
After teaching many parables
Before healing the demon-possessed man (when demons was sent to the pigs and drowned)
By the way, Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meanings
Mark 4:35-41
The Disciples were:
Worried
Scared
Fearful
Doubtful
Afraid
Terrified
Frightened
Panicking
But Jesus was at peace
He was sleeping like a baby
