Every time we get into a new year, we say, “What will this year be like?”
You will have a look. In particular, our nation has experienced a very turbulent past year.
I've been nervous in shock, so the outlook for the new year is higher than ever.
also got serious.
Politics ahead of the opening of a license, the oil group that is being used as a new weapon by oil-producing countries
An economy of inflation that can't be stopped because of dong, illegality grows and love
A society of the end-time phenomenon that has become hardened and is only cooling down, a leafless civilization
and culture, and education that is fundamentally shaken and wrong.
A nuanced US derived from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
The world situation concerned about the third round of relations between the Soviet Union
Even as we greet the new year with the escalating confrontation between the two Koreas, our hearts are still in our hearts.
There is still the anxiety, the fear and the nervousness.
Here we, believers, naturally came to live in this environment
is. However, our saints have given us the words of the text today
We must turn our eyes to writing and listen.
Originally, today's words were about whether the chosen people of Israel became the captives of Babylon.
It has been over 70 years, but there is no hope of liberation and only difficult trials
Repeatedly among them the disappointed, the despondent and the critic
Is this the word you gave through the prophet Isaiah when the number of people increased?
All.
“Israel, why are you grieving and hiding my case from the LORD?
Do you say that things are not repaired by my God? You do not know.
did you not hear?
Eternal God, Creator of the ends of the earth, tireless and understanding
He is limitless; he gives strength to the weary and strength to the incompetent.
I, even the boys are weary, and the young men stumble and fall, but the LORD
Those who wait for it will find new strength, and they will soar on the wings of an eagle.
I will run and I will not get weary, I will walk and not get weary.
It is guaranteed."
Everyone! What we need most of all in today's difficult days
It is a new force. I had a conversation with an elder in our church a few days ago
In the midst of this, the elder said, "Pastor! In the new year, we will confirm our business.
It seems that it is not a time to grow, but a time to expand our faith.”
was that.
That's right. We only need to expand our faith and receive refreshment from above.
If it is, the business will naturally expand, and the business will surely result in success and blessing.
It will have to bear a thread. Hallelujah! Now we are those who long for the Lord
May you receive grace together as you ponder the strength of the year you promised.
I want
1. It is said that new strength comes from those who wait for the Lord.
New power literally means new power. so far
It's not the strength I had, but the gift God gave me as a gift of blessing.
It is strength, and not the strength that he obtained from below, but God provided from above.
It is a given power, not a limited amount of power, but an unlimited amount of power that springs up like a spring.
that's power.
But this kind of strength can only be received by those who look up and long for the Lord.
that you can. If you walk towards the light, you will not see the light pouring down continuously.
You will be able to continue to receive running water if you put a pot on it.
It is the same as the principle.
If you look up, the above will come; if you face down, only the below will come.
It's bound to come. When I look at the world, the wind of fear, the shadow of anxiety, the disappointment
Only waves are coming.
So God said that you have been raised up with Christ.
Seek the things above the cotton, think above the things, not the earthly things.
It is sour (Colossians 3:1-2).
Relying on money that may come and go, or an environment that may change
If you believe in the conditions or live proudly of youth that will grow old in the future, you will receive new strength.
You will not lose your strength, but sooner or later you will lose the strength you have.
Peter looked to Jesus, the author and perfecter of his faith (Hebrews 12:2).
At that time, I was able to acquire the strength to walk on the sea like land, but
Looking at the waves and the waves, at the moment of doubt, you will fall into the water and stumble.
It had no choice but to do so (Matthew 14:30).
In the new year, we will also look at the rising winds and the harsh environment.
No, the master of the universe who can calm the wind and remove storms
Yo, look to the living Lord behind the storm who is the ruler of history
When you can, you will always be supplied with new energy.
It's not about the sea we have to walk on, it's about the people who walk there.
Faith is always a problem. A life of self-sufficiency that believes in oneself
It may fail, but the faith life of a self-sufficient who looks to God is always
It is victory (Philippians 4:13).
2. If you gain new strength, you will be able to live a life of climbing like an eagle.
A life of ascension is impossible without the backing of power.
All. The saying that it will be like an eagle soaring on its wings is among the flying beasts.
I know you said this because the most powerful animal is the eagle.
You might have said that these days, it would go up like a rocket or a jet.
Pick up. A rocket lands on a space trip from the branch office to the moon
Until then, it usually does not have power, and when a jumbo jet takes off,
Do you know how much power it takes to fly high in the sky?
All.
"Bang" all around us like poultry shells falling
The jet flies at high altitude with great power and can break through at supersonic speed.
It's called a sound.
Today, our souls cannot leave the world and live on the earth.
It's because Yin didn't get new strength. This year, you saints
The spirit that is refreshed by longing for the truth and soars high in the expanse of truth.
I wish you the best of luck with your enemy high-flying.
If you go by flying high in an airplane, you can see it looking up from the ground.
You can see the clouds are underneath the plane. we are young
If I could climb high above the enemy, I would cover the ground in darkness
the earthly, lustful, demonic, and human black clouds
Can't you look down and live with praise, thanks, and joy?
Even things that look great on earth can be looked down on with a higher spiritual dimension.
If there is, it can be seen as nothing or nothing.
that there is After the Apostle Paul came to know Christ, he
It could be regarded as excrement (Philippians 3:8).
It is a person who has made an impossible spiritual high-flying flight.
Weekly prayer center that founded 80 years of ministry and started it with prayer
went in and stayed. In the early evening, I took a cushion and went out on a rock by the creek.
How did you feel when you fell down to pray, got up and came home in the middle of the night?
All.
I didn't know it when I was praying, but when I got up after it was over, I heard the sound of water and walked
When I came and stepped on the ground, it was frozen solid. while praying
It is said that they did not hear the sound of water and did not feel the cold.
If only my spiritual condition could be changed, the environment in which I live would not be much of a problem.
I believe it is not of character.
3. When you have new strength, you will run and not be weary, and you will not be weary when you walk.
No.
What does running mean? The Bible speaks of life in this life as a sprint
I likened it (1 Corinthians 9:24, Hebrews 12:1). Indeed, our life is like a race
Therefore, the competition for survival is fierce. This race is an unstoppable race at the same time
There are many obstacles that cause you to stumble and fall, so do not fall when you are tired.
To do this, you need the strength to be able to handle it.
This kind of strength is the new strength that comes when we long for the Lord. theologian
Reinhold Nieber (R.Nieber) has the power to give birth to pregnant women who need to give birth.
It is pointed out that modern people are the same as suffering from lack of
I did.
That's right.
Today we have lost the strength to race. strength to live
There is not. You have lost the power to end injustice. don't love your neighbor
I don't even have the strength to. There is no power to fight sin. beat the world
You don't have one power.
So the LORD said, "My love, my pretty girl, get up and
Let's go together, in the clefts of the rocks, in the secret places of the cliffs, my dove, I am yes
Let me see your face, let me hear you.” (Song of Songs)
2;14).
As you lift up your face and look to the Lord at this hour today! cry out to the Lord
to the sound! May you gain new strength and live a life where you will not get tired even if you run or walk.
Congratulations on the flag. We raced and competed, and disease, accident, famine,
We meet obstacles such as failure, trial, and death, and we fall down, and every day
Even those who are tired of walking in a monotonous and dull life every day
You will see a lot.
The work done at work is usually repetitive, and the person operating the machine
It's something that I repeat every day, so I wonder if Ki-ki is doing me?
There are times when I mistakenly think that I am running a machine.
Even merchants open their stores in the morning and collect and close their stores in the evening.
It is the same thing, and so is what housewives do. Ah
Wake up to see the briquette fire, wash rice, cook rice, make side dishes and set a table
Bring it in, wash the dishes after dinner, clean, do laundry, and in the evening, cook again.
Building, eating, sleeping, waking, and working, the boring work continues.
All.
That is why it is said that life becomes inflamed and tired. But the Lord
Those who wait for it can find new strength every day even in this kind of life.
Because of this, he can carry out his duties well, and he is always happy and grateful.
You can live a life of climbing like an eagle, ignoring fatigue

He made me play, and I am refreshed by living always looking to the Lord.
The Apostle Paul, who was living, suffered many hardships, was imprisoned several times, and was in his 40s.
I was beaten 5 times minus me, I was beaten with a hammer 3 times, I was stoned once,
The risk of shipwreck in multiple is three times, the risk of multiple rivers, the risk of robbery, and the
The danger of a stranger, I couldn't sleep, I was hungry and thirsty, I was cold and naked, but my aunt
I was able to handle it well without both fatigue.
Today, at the beginning of this new year, dear saints, have great faith in the Lord.
May you receive refreshment as a gift and become only the faith that ascends like an eagle.
Hope you run and you are not weary, you walk and you are not weary
