Put your eyes on Christ,

not on the newspapers, not on the television screens for your hope.

Your hope is in Christ.

He's the one that has made the promise that his kingdom is going to ultimately prevail.

And Jesus is in heaven now where?

He's preparing a place for us, the scripture says.

And Christ is going to come like a flash of lightning.

And for you that know him, it's something to anticipate.

Many of us are so taken up with this world and the pleasures and the sensualities of this world.

That's right.

The money that we make and the lifestyle that we live,

that we don't want to leave this earth.

We hold on as long as we can.

But for all of you,

the world and the lust thereof is going to pass away.

But he that does the will of God shall abide forever.

All right, y'all.

All right, y'all, we're going to get straight into it.

Obviously, you've seen the title.

Today, we're going to focus on keeping our eyes on the Lord.

And I hope you're all doing well and having a blessed week.

And I'm thankful for all of you guys that are praying for me.

I'm praying for you guys as well.

We are always growing and stronger together.

And another thing I wanted to emphasize is that,

like, whenever you watch these videos,

I don't just want you to,

like, think that, oh, I'm getting a word.

I'm just here to check out this video.

But I want you to make a conscious decision to seek Jesus,

to seek Christ above all else.

I want you to watch these videos leaving with a burning desire and a passion for Christ.

At the end of the day,

I'm just a person that God is using to spread his word.

I'm nothing but a tool and an instrument for the kingdom of God.

But you have to make a conscious decision for yourself to be like,

man, I got to seek for God for myself.

I got to have this passion,

this desire to read my word,

to pray, to seek the Lord.

The number one goal is for us to grow beyond the basic,

to grow in our passion,

in our relationship with the Lord.

I'm just here to share what the Lord has taught me and what the Lord has brought me through.

This brings us to what I wanted to talk about today,

which is keeping your eyes on the Lord.

Nowadays, I feel like there is so much distraction in this world

and we get easily influenced and easily distracted by certain things that do not matter.

We are turning our heads,

looking at other things, then focusing on Christ.

So much of life's worries keeps us from getting in the presence of God.

So much of life's struggles keeps us from getting in the presence of God.

And we don't realize that it's so dangerous,

especially in the times that we're living in now.

We are living in times where it is crucial for us to keep our lamps burning.

But a lot of us have been sleeping.

A lot of us have been drifting away.

A lot of us have been distracted by other things that are going on in the world,

that are going on in your life.

Not realizing that Jesus is coming back soon.

Not realizing that the Lord is not coming back for a fake bride.

That the Lord is not coming back for a weak bride.

He's coming back for a bride that is burning with passion for him.

A bride that is burning with zeal for him.

A bride that is burning with holiness for him.

We got to get out of our heads thinking everything revolves around us.

Thinking our problems are too big for God.

Thinking our problems are the end-all be-all of everything that is going on.

We are too distracted by the things of the world.

We are too distracted by the things that are outside.

Things that don't matter.

I've realized whenever my eyes are away from God, my thoughts become unhealthy.

My mind becomes unhealthy.

My perception becomes unhealthy.

First we're going to talk about keeping our eyes on the Lord pertaining to trials

and the struggles and things that we go through in life.

Early on it was very hard for me to keep my eyes on the Lord

because I felt like I always needed to be kind of in control somehow.

So even when trials would come,

I would struggle with letting God fix my problems and trying to figure it out on my own.

I'm a big overthinker and I question a lot.

I question a lot of things in my mind.

So when things would come up,

trials would hit, I would question whether God is there with me.

I would question my circumstance.

I would question my situation because I wasn't really focused on the Lord.

I was focused on my circumstance.

I was focused on the problem by hand instead of focusing on Jesus.

And when stuff like that happens,

you start to see things falling apart,

breaking down, getting worse, and becoming a mess.

And you tend to want to control the outcome.

And this was the problem for me was because I was picking and choosing what things to trust God in.

I was picking and choosing when I would look to God and when I would not look to God.

When in reality, the Lord calls us to look to him in all of our ways.

The Bible says, in all of your ways, acknowledge him.

But I wasn't doing that.

And this could be for you too.

There are things in your life that God is asking full control of.

100

And he needs you to be able to look to him at all times.

101

He needs you to be able to trust him at all times.

102

But that starts with you making a conscious decision that God will be the one you lean on.

103

That the Lord will be the one that you place your head on.

104

A perfect example of taking your eyes off of Jesus is in Matthew 14,

105

where Jesus is walking on water and Peter calls out to him.

106

And the reason I love this example so much is not just because of what happened to Peter,

107

but it's the interaction that happened between Peter and Jesus.

108

Matthew 14, 22, immediately Jesus made the disciples get onto the boat

109

and go on ahead of him to the other side while he dismissed the crowd.

110

After he dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.

111

Later that night he was there alone and the boat was already a considerable distance from the land,

112

but fed it by the waves because the wind was against it.

113

Shortly before dawn, Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

114

When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified.

115

It's a ghost, they said,

116

and cried out in fear.

117

But Jesus immediately said to them,

118

Take courage, it is I, don't be afraid.

119

Lord, if it's you, Peter replied,

120

tell me to come onto the water.

121

Come, he said.

122

Then Peter got down out of the boat,

123

walked on water, and came towards Jesus.

124

But when he saw the wind,

125

he was afraid, and beginning to sink,

126

cried out, Lord, save me.

127

Immediately, Jesus reached out his hand, caught him.

128

You of little faith, he said.

129

Why did you doubt?

130

When they were in fear,

131

not knowing who it was,

132

Jesus stepped in to reassure them

133

that it was him telling them to take courage Peter in faith says Lord

134

if it's you ask me to come on the water

135

and Peter in faith got down walking towards Jesus it never said he walked

136

and started to walk around no no it says walking towards Jesus verse 30

137

but when he saw the wind he was afraid

138

when he saw the wind when he saw the storm

139

when he saw the trials when he saw the circumstance he was afraid

140

and he began to sink

141

and cried out lord save me lord save me a lot of people take this verse

142

and just look at it as peter

143

being distracted of the wind obviously we could see that right he took his eyes off of the lord

144

and he was distracted by the wind,

145

by the circumstance, and he began to sink.

146

But I wanna elaborate on something too as well,

147

because when he sank, who did he cry out to?

148

He cried out to the Lord.

149

Yes, the main part is he took his eyes off the Lord and he began to sing But as he fell,

150

as he sunk, he also looked at the Lord for help.

151

He didn't look at money He didn't look at nobody else on the boat.

152

He didn't look at anything else But he looked at Jesus to save him.

153

It is important for us to keep our eyes on the Lord Regardless,

154

no matter if you fall,

155

no matter if you sinned,

156

regardless of if you fall Ask the Lord to save you.

157

Ask the Lord for his hand.

158

Work is not gonna see you money is not gonna save

159

your mom is not gonna save your friends are not gonna save you

160

when you're in a dire need

161

when you have sunk in deep waters who are you going to call who are you going to look to

162

if we can't even look to God when we're good

163

when we're in a good situation

164

when everything is going to what everything's going well we can't even look at God what

165

if what happens when we're sinking now you want to call the Lord

166

when you're sinking when you're falling now you want to look at God

167

and all times let's keep our eyes and focus on the Lord

168

and the crazy thing is a lot of people are not gonna want to hear this part

169

because they love the world they love to gain for the

170

world you would rather me talk about how you can gain

171

in this world than an eternal life how you can prosper

172

in this world rather than keeping your lips burning for the

173

return of Christ Hebrews 12 2 says therefore since we are

174

surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses let us store off everything

175

that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out before us.

176

Fixing our eyes on Jesus,

177

fixing our eyes on Jesus,

178

the pioneer, the perfecter of faith for the joy set before him,

179

he endured the cross.

180

He endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

181

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

182

First thing to mention is that Christ died for us to save us,

183

to redeem us, to make us blameless in the sight of the Lord.

184

That is something we always have to remember.

185

That Christ suffered shame.

186

Christ endured suffering for us sinners.

187

That is one way to keep your eyes on God.

188

Always remember what the Lord has done for you.

189

Always remembering that God saved you.

190

God saved you.

191

He saved you.

192

Is that a daily reminder for us every single day?

193

Is that a daily reminder that,

194

man, the Lord has actually saved me.

195

I am good now.

196

I am sealed with the Holy Spirit.

197

Is that a daily reminder for you?

198

Because that is one way of remembering and keeping your eyes on Christ.

199

But are we constantly reminding ourselves that God has done that for us or not?

200

We wake up daily every single day with other things,

201

distractions, other things in our minds,

202

not even remembering what Christ has done for us.

203

And then you grow selfish when God doesn't do anything for you.

204

You grow selfish when things don't go your way.

205

Forgetting that it is only by grace that we are here.

206

It is only by grace that we have the breath of life.

207

And I want to read this in Luke 12,

208

which is a perfect representation of the watchfulness that God is urging us to have.

209

Verse 35, be dressed, ready for service,

210

and keep your lamps burning like a servant waiting for their master to return from their wedding banquet,

211

so that when he comes and knocks,

212

they can immediately open the door for him.

213

It will be good for those servants whose master finds him watching when he comes.

214

Truly I tell you he would dress himself to serve

215

Will have will have them recline at the table and will come

216

and wait on them It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready Even

217

if he comes in the middle of the night towards daybreak

218

But understand this

219

if the owner of the house had known at what hour

220

the thief was coming He would not have let let his house be broken into.

221

You must also be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you don't expect him.

222

The Word of God says,

223

be dressed and ready for service

224

and keep your lamps burning like a servant waiting for the master to return from a wedding banquet.

225

Are we dressed and ready,

226

waiting on the Lord's return?

227

Are we getting in prayer?

228

Are we seeking the Lord?

229

Are we serving others?

230

Are we loving others?

231

We love to cry out to God,

232

Lord save us, Lord do this for us,

233

Lord do this for us.

234

But we're not even prioritizing his presence at this moment.

235

The Lord is not coming back for a weak bride.

236

The Lord is not coming back for a mediocre bride.

237

He's coming back for those that will worship him in spirit as the Bible says.

238

Those that will be on fire,

239

burning for him, a zeal for him.

240

Where's that passion that we have for other things?

241

Where's that passion?

242

Why can't we have that passion for Christ, for the Lord?

243

Being watchful in service, burning with the passion and the fire of the Holy Spirit.

244

Keeping your eyes on the Lord,

245

keeping your eyes on the Lord's return.

246

Like I said before, there's so much distraction that it's keeping us away from the things that God needs us to do.

247

And we don't realize just how much focusing on our worries

248

and on our problems takes us away from the thing that God needs us to focus on.

249

1 Peter 5a says, be alert and of sober mind.

250

Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

251

Resist them, standing firm in faith.

252

Distraction is going to be a downfall for a lot of people.

253

Not being sober minded, not being attentive,

254

not being watchful of the things that are going on.

255

Not getting in prayer, not truly seeking God with all of your hearts.

256

This should encourage you.

257

This should fill you with joy that I get to participate and be ready for the Lord to come back.

258

This should encourage, this should invoke such a rejoicing spirit within you.

259

That man, the Lord is coming back.

260

That I got to be ready.

261

I got to be prepared.

262

But a lot of us are so indoctrinated with the things of the world.

263

We're so captivated by the distractions of the world.

264

We're not even realizing what the word of God is saying.

265

We're not getting an impressive God.

266

We're not getting in our prayer closet and we're realizing,

267

man, I don't have the fire for God.

268

I don't have that zeal.

269

Because you're not submitting yourself in the presence of God.

270

Keep your eyes on Christ.

271

Keep your eyes watchful.

272

Away from Christ is death.

273

Away from Christ is death.

274

No matter how hard it might be,

275

yes, the Lord understands that.

276

But he has called us to this.

277

He has called us to this.

278

So you can't sit there and just whine and just want to be weak.

279

No. Give your burdens to Christ.

280

The Bible says, come to me,

281

all who are weary and broken, heavy-hearted.

282

Seek the Lord.

283

Look to Christ.

284

Don't look anywhere else.

285

Look to God.

286

295

no matter the trials that we're going through.

296

Keep your focus and your eyes on the Lord.

297

Don't be distracted by the things of the world.

298
