Silence the Noise: Part I (Sunday Sermon Notes)

The Chosen Church
Speaker: Pastor Craig Walder Jr.
Title: Silence The Noise
Scripture: Numbers 13 (ESV)

BE who GOD created YOU to BE!! EXSIST in that. Silence anything other than what and who God called you to BE! Anything your mind is telling you outside of God...Silence it!

NEVER FORGET: We are NOT the world’s…we are HIS!!

In your NEXT, silence the noise!
EVERYTHING that’s FREE doesn’t mean its God.
Progress doesn’t mean preparedness.
Sometimes you want to walk in your patented stature but…
The crisis is OVER...you can ONLY be who God created you to be. You are NOT the world’s… you ARE HIS!

You are gifted!
You are anointed!

We are walking into a new promise that God has for His house.
The loudest voice in your life WILL determine your faith!! Meaning you CANNOT be walking in your next worrying about your next.

Sometimes God will tell you to you go and NOT show you the next steps or give you the outcome.

According to scripture, God said the STEPS of a GOOD man are ordered by the Lord.
 Psalm 37:23

• In this season of our journey, we will make NO more agreements with fear.
• We will not have no moral consultations with negative thoughts.
• We will not let our insecurities become our wisdom.

Note: When God is about to do something BIG in your life, everything else starts to get louder. I have lived this. You start noticing things you’ve never noticed before. Like the sneak disses from your friends…the shady remarks, children start blaming you for their issues, spouses start acting up, doubts get louder, people’s opinions get louder…fear gets louder, anxiousness gets louder, reminders of your past get louder!

Noise makes you to forget what God said, because you get focused on the noise. We allow noise to dominate and overwhelm us. Faith becomes difficult when fear gets the microphone.

Note to Self: Who’s report shall be believed??? Noise? Fear or God’s???

The enemy knows he cannot stop the promises of God BUT he can distract you from going to get the promises of God.

KNOW THIS: God’s promises are certain...Yet, we have to play our role so they can become full in our lives.

Chosen turning 4 is a GOD moment. What worked last year may NOT work this year!!!

Listen Up: Stop reworking stuff that God NEVER meant to work for you!

Some put God in a box that He’s BIGGER than!! We put Him in a box assuming what worked should still work! It’s a new season!

Married Folk: What worked to get your spouse may NOT work to keep them.

What worked in one season may not work in the next season…

In Philippians 3:13-14,  Apostle Paul said it best, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

In order to REACH (grow through) sometimes, you have to just go somewhere. In order to get something, you must go (GROW) through something. Some don’t want to go (grow) through NO-THING!!

Question: Why do we celebrate Easter?
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Some have lost the TRUE meaning of Easter. Some would rather dress up on Easter instead of living like what HE did for us on Easter. Jesus died for you and me BUT YET, some won’t die. We celebrate Eater because of the RESURRECTION. We should live like what Jesus went through!! He died for us so we should live for Him!! We must spiritually die!! Easter is the prelude to our death.

Prelude to our death scripture
⬇️⬇️

Philippians 3:10 “that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,”
⬇️⬇️

REMINDER: Deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Him!!

It’s our PURPOSE to BE like JESUS!! Meaning we must go (GROW) through somethings and you won’t know how to breathe on the mountain top if y
ou don’t learn how to adjust your breathing in the wilderness. You can’t go to the mountaintop without going through the valley.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Psalm 23:4(ESV)
4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

➡️➡️➡️➡️ MEANING ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️

Every problem has a provision attached to it. You cannot grow in faith unless you have something to overcome.

FAITH doesn’t mean DON’T do NO-THING! Waiting means intertwine with the one you are waiting on.
⬇️⬇️

Some claim they are “waiting on the Lord.” to do something.

James 2:14-26 (ESV) (((READ)))
Faith Without Works Is Dead

Sometimes we need a slight PUSH!! Sometimes we need one MORE PUSH!!!
We think the PUSH is for us to keep going BUT it’s meant to correct your vision. I press towards the mark. Some just want to PUSH to get out of the pain BUT pain is JUST provision to your next. The PUSH is for you to see the GOAL. Sometimes in/under pressure, our vision becomes blurred. The PUSH may sometimes cause you to suffer. The PUSH is not just for deliverance. You can be delivered and still have a slave mentality.
