So today's title is We Open For God That God Is Great That Our Problem.

So empower and then, you know, we go for the next year. We want to the leaders, but there is all the way performance gaps. So how we can overcome those gaps? So the only thing we can overcome that gap is through trust in God and believe God, empowered God. Because humanity is limited, our life to boundary has so many circumstances. We cannot do everything like God in Bible said to Philip 4 and 13 said, I can do things through the Him who empower me. And then Ephesians 6.10 said, finally you will strengthen the Lord by power of his power. Every day we have problems in our life we should overcome daily. If we are not overcome those tasks every day, what happens? You know we are fail. We are fail.

There is two kind of people. One always success always success one always baby maybe they are too afraid that they never never try it again so so many people even have jobs they don't want to go to the jobs because they afraid for the kobe 19. so that's the is gaps there to you know government was that political leaders was that you know the the political but you know they they doing so many ways but they always the follow over people is they did they problem not only himself but also need a team work need other people so and not only himself but also need a teamwork need other people so and not only that the most important the success of fail is depend on God I think I'm a Christian I'm a pastor I always living depend on God and I always

think about God that the middle of any decision maker give to God. So I don't decision my life. So many people struggle with those problems, you know, economic problems like entrepreneur. As business person, business owner, what problem I now? You know they open the business but people does not come to the location. That's why they needed to something system develop, make everything virtual, make everything technique technology have to be updated. So there is more expense than other time even they don't have enough incomes. That's why they don't have a skillful people in their working place.

So there is an entrepreneur's struggle. So how they can solve those problems? That empower in God in praise. Don't forget that God created our problem. Number one, I wanted to talk that. Second, Ephesians 6.10 talked that finally you will be strengthened in Lord by the power of God. So, you know, people who have always a problem, that we have the external strength needed at that time. So like leadership, you know, we have the real leadership, you know, come appear us when the people struggle, when people have a problem.

Every day is so happy, so comfortable, you know, so in a prosperity, there is no need to externally strengths but when we have a problem we are really needed to strength so who gave it to strength maybe you your parents yourself and your coworker your boss or your friend can be strength to you, maybe 30 minutes, one hour, yeah, whenever you feel you comfort. But they don't point to, even they don't really understand what problem you have it. So don't bring to your problem to family friend co-worker first you need to bring your problem to understand your strengths from God and you need to you know pray God and call God's name because your strengths from God not for other people

so you know you have maybe you have. So you know, you have maybe you have every, you know what, you know what, you have it. You have experienced everyone, you understand what I'm saying. So don't asking people just the problem you, he doesn't want to just quick fix like a hamburger. So we eat hamburger, we go to the buffet, so different way we can eat dinner or breakfast. We can cook to the home.

So the way is life same thing. The way is life same thing that the way we choose. You can go quick fix. You will see that your problem will temporarily to solve it and you will you will go to the buffet now you know at least 30 different kind you can quick eat you will feel one day happy and you will think that your problem is solved because you have so many reasons,

so many support people just one day, and then you think you might solve those problems. And other things, you will take hard, cooked 30 minutes, one hour, bring that to your family. It takes time, but those love and nutrients, all those are the way of God, take time, slow cooking, but you know what? It will be finally good result. Good is my right, my salvation. The Lord is the power of my life. who said I afraid so that's the wonderful word that you know either you know a parade but you are fearful that is a you know demo I the God that is problem in your life you cannot solve problem neither those afraid or fear that you have to fear you you have to afraid God.

Now, COVID-19 all afraid struggle. You know, I met people, 20 people say, most, you know, say, Oh my God, I lost jobs. I closed my business among like, you know, million 200, maybe ten percent, unless they are struggling, need a problem, they fail already. So, but there is good news that today Psalm 27 once said that, who said I afraid that Lord is my right, my salvation. The Lord is the power of my life, whom I am afraid of. So this is a good message. If you fail, don't worry about it.

You make that you are afraid of things more than God. That's why the flower is no solution, need you. But today, God gives you's promise that in psalm 27 if you are prayed god god will give you strength god will be your light god will be power of your life and then you will be afraid god only you have been you receive a promise from God? Have you experienced the salvation of God? Have you experienced that God is your light? Spread those messages. That is good news. That is gospel, what you have spread to the people. Our life has stayed there all the way stay there even thousand years ago because jesus christ coming to this world to save our life as a peacemaker of god between us so jesus coming this world that 2000 years ago

that time is same problem social problem politic problem this, this problem, that problem, so problem. So, you know, because of, you know, we, there is gaps, performance gaps, which is God wants to us and we are, you know, and then we want to the leaders, but there is just all the way performance gaps. So how we can overcome those gaps so the only things we we can overcome that gaps through trust in god and believe god empowered god because human is limited uh our life to a boundary has so many circumstances. We cannot do everything like a God.

In Bible said to Philip 4 and 13 said, I can do things through the him who empower me. And then Ephesians 6.10 said, Finally you will strengthen the Lord by power of his power. So you know why the the things every days we have problems in our life I doubt the person is fail or failure always success because those who are looking for the problem they are not afraid those problem they got right away solution. Those problems make them

to more develop their life. Those problems make them to blessing. That's why all successors is not extant. The all successors, someone who need pay those hours, effort, or study and experience. All those, the life is nothing, just need a problem, nothing say okay. Every day, what problem you have today, come to God. What problem you have? You have, I think, COVID-19 in this world had a labor problem. So, you know, so many people even have jobs. They don't want to go to the jobs because they are afraid for the COVID-19.

So that's the gifts there to, you know, government wants that, political leaders wants that, you know, the political, political leaders wants that you know the the political but you know they there's the real leaders have to do just so solve a problem not only himself but also need a teamwork need other people so and not only that the most important to the success of fail is depend on God I I think. I'm a Christian. I'm a pastor. I always live depending on God, empowering God. That's the only guarantee we have victory to be success, even empower God. So everything has to be empowered with God.

All those, you know, our problem will be solved correctly and directly because so many people struggle with those problems you know economic problems like entrepreneur as a business person business owner what problem right now you know they open open the business but people does not come in to the location that's why they need to develop something, make everything virtual, make everything technology have to be updated. So there is more expense than other time even they don't have enough income. That's why they don't have skill for people in their working place. So there is no limitation to stay there because God is spiritual.

We are spiritual. So thankful that we stay step by step anywhere we go. God says that here. Whenever you go, we have even more problem stay with us that's the one god promised today is through our with isaiah 41 13 said that because because the road the road you got so you know take up your right hands say to you don't be afraid i will help you so the the bible exactly say that we have a problem who gonna help god himself said in the bible exactly say don't be afraid i will be be with you. I will solve those problems. So here it is.

So we have so many problems in our America right now, especially, you know, school. People does not go to the school regularly. They are far, you know, behind maybe five months or ten months behind their, you know behind their school study. So that's the one problem, too. How many people, thousands of people, in fact. And another problem is the workforce.

People, they want to work, but because we have the safety guarantee to client, to customer, to also employees. So employee fear is not safety. They are afraid to work. So we have to, we need to find out the way solution, the technically correctness, politically feasible, politically supportable, and the organization in parliament. That is so important. So when we make policy, there is three policy player. One is government body, one is civil society society like non-profit and market like we are

doing a lot of business or anything implied towards policy so i started at the harvard kennedy school of government policy those three policy player only government, political leaders, or the non-profit, and also market. We are not only just the palace players, problem solver. So, you know, this year is already gone. What problem you already solved, what problem you have? You cannot control those problems like COVID. But you can have participation, the rule of the government say that mask, you know, put on a mask. You know, there is so many problem in mask mandate too. So many employees is lay off because they don't want to take the mask on. So, too force, you know, put a mask, you know, no mask,

and then they want to depend on the person who are employees. They can choose mask or no mask. So there is so many issues every day, even politics leaders dealing all the problem. That's why the most important thing is the politics leaders. Politics need to know this, that strength in God. And then also, you know, know that God, pray to God, and then know that God will give those all the solution. Whenever they go, God will encourage you. God will give you strength. God will be your right hand. So you have to know that who made policy. And also non-profits, those

civil society, they need to know that God is help for their organization. There are so many homeless problem. There is so many employer problems, so many economic problems, you know, like climate change, so much socialism, you know. So many things we have now is even, you know, inflation problem. So how we deal that? How we can deal with this? So God give the authority to police maker, that is

government party, gotta give authority that is market, dealing together, gotta authority to the civil society who are non-profit, advocate that those make able to politics to

emotionally, mentally, and everything's fear that is emergency. So that's the civil society needed to do strongly, believe God. Who believe God, you know, who are afraid of God, not politics, not market, not civil society. We have to afraid of God. That is the most important things we needed to go over that so today i want to just conclusion that don't forget that god is great in your problems

you know don't forget that you know even you have so many problems solo like a polish politic leaders church leaders community leaders you know they can solve your problem but you should empower need god you should yourself needed to afraid god yourself need to have the strength to solve those motivation to they can help you better you know too because you're not motivation yourself you just say they will have they will you know i'm not both you know too because you're not motivating yourself you just say they will have they will you know i'm not bored you know i don't do any politic action i don't do anything because i'm okay i've been living 20 years like that don't do that you have the participation and your voice your message to the community meeting the government, party if you need,

meet the political meetings, meet the non-profits. If they need your help, they are doing a lot of things. You need to go to the market, not only just spending your money. You have to go to the understand economic America, Read the books. Look at the youth. You know, what you can do in your situation. God always had an answer that, you know, your problem, solution is from God. God will be your right hand. Conclusion.

God give us all those key of solution. Because, you know why? In 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and 4 said, I always thank you, my God, for you because of His grace given you in Christ Jesus. We are Christians, believers.

Believer is always thank you God to because God certain victory guarantees. Because we feel so comfortable when we read books in Bible, when we hear the sermon, because there is always a powerful, powerful word of God always guarantee our comfort, our safety.

We enrich us in, you know, generous, we can curse, but we we can very generous to our neighborhood and we can you know we can test God everything our circles rejoice continuously even this you know failure the Covid-19 Zelda God is we can trust God exactly our you know song to praise God is exactly our song to praise. God is our solution. God will always right us. God will always grace.

God will always call us peace. God always remembers us what we need. So that's why even my conclusion today, don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about 2022. Don't worry about 2021. What happened to you now is fresh. You know, like when you have a room, if you don't open the room like one month, what happens? You will die.

You don't open the room like one month. What happened? You will die. You know, you are all the dirty things in your rooms. Those around you kill you. You cannot breathe well. That's like even we are living like that, COVID-19. Tomorrow is hope. Tomorrow is another day. You need to open your window. You need to open your window to God and then get some new air in 2022. You know, plan new things.

And then remove all the unnecessary stuff you have. Like you don't use books, clothing, anything. Just donation to non-profit nearby you. Then God will put in new one. You know, the space is limited in your life and heart split. Every condition is limited.

You take one thing there, you cannot take another. You know, you have to focus on one thing. You love one person, you cannot love another. You love God thing you love one person you cannot love others you love god you love family you love country you love america you know that's the one you need to get air fresh to use in your window this is god's word just obtain god's things in your heart clean your heart first clean your spirit first clean your body first, clean your spirit first, clean your body first.

You need to have a connection with God because thank you to God. Always God's grace gives you another opportunity. God will protect you whatever situation, whatever you do. Thank you God because His love is endorsed. So we can go to the first Corinthians 16.30, give thanks to the Lord for He is

good. His love is endorsed forever. So you know why? Problem is nothing. Problem is not problem. The problem makes you more strength. The biggest problem is not problem. The problem makes you more strong. The next problem is not you are holding God. So remember that.

Thank you, God. You know, because God, He is good. Remember that. He is good. Only in the world, 100% good is God is good. And then never change his love. In Bible, 1 Corinthians 16 30 said that his love endures forever. So his love endures you. Who will endorse you? God will endorse you whatever you do, what you do, God will endorse you. That's the thing that's so important to take sermon today.

God will endorse you. He needs forever love through this pandemic. You know, we have to thank the government. We get all those grants, all those things helping, you know,

subsidized from the government helping. So we have thank you to our parents, our neighborhood. You know, they don't really afraid to fight together. So we have a team that thank you. The most important, we are God's watching, God watching us. You know, God devote his power, his love to in our life. That's so thankful. Thank you.

So just God will initiate your life to next year, 2020. Even don't operate your problem. God make rejoice need problem because our life is always problem if example if we pass the covid you think so we will no more problem no that problem is a 2000 years ago now is the problems. So because we always needed to feel grateful, just we can overcome those problems. Not fails, overcome, need God. So why God give those challenges? Because God wants to make us strength, overcome those challenges,

and then we can do more strength, we can do more better things to do. those challenges and then we can do more strengths we can do more better things to do i think covid 19 is give us so many challenges and so many opportunities now business more like virtually zooms and then you know the the style of the business learning you know technology robotic advisor so many you know we we find out so many technologies through this COVID-19 without people, how we can learning business more like rapidly give a response, you know, clients need it. So many bankers, many are, you know, the industry, law firm and real estate, we are using robotic and Google chat for many, many things.

Amazon, everywhere we see they developed their technology to solve our problems. That's the key of the problem. Without problems, sometimes we really not seriously

take those steps. But when we have a serious problem, we really not seriously take those step but when we have a serious problem we take a step and then you know we have a solution that that time is make strength times so in my life i am so thank you for through this covid i started uh about three years now to har University all together.
