Living Above the Circumstances
June 1, 2018
Does anyone ever ask, "How are you?" and you reply, "Well, under the circumstances...." The problem is that's exactly where we are living—under the circumstances! How do we rise above the adversity and sing a song of praise? From the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel, Jill Briscoe shows us how Hannah, under very difficult circumstances, found the secret.

Is your heart asking, "How long, O Lord"? Who or what are you waiting for? A job? A friend to be a friend? Someone to love you or for you to love back? Are you waiting for a break—or a baby? A child to say they're sorry, reconciliation, or an important prayer to be answered? Maybe you're waiting for the bullying or betrayal to stop—or lying, hating, injustice, corruption, or hurt. Or perhaps you are in a crisis of faith that needs to be resolved.
In this message from Habakkuk, Jill Briscoe offers encouragement for the tough times in life.

I believe in Jesus, but for so long I've been spiritually dry. I made a mistake. A bad mistake! And since then, I've been living in a desert of regrets in a dry and barren land… thirsty, thirsty, thirsty. It's been a long time since I've experienced a sense of the supernatural. I feel isolated, marginalized, full of self-doubt—a failure!
If this sounds like you, Jill Briscoe offers help in her message based on the life of Moses.

We often ask, "Where is God? I look for Him, but I do not see Him. I listen for Him, but I do not hear Him. It is dark—so very dark. Not pitch black perhaps, but my life is lived in shadows. How can I find God in the shadows?"
In this message, Jill Briscoe looks at the life of Esther to uncover answers to those questions.

Gale force winds can come at any time and in any season. Sometimes storm clouds warn of their imminent arrival, but other times you wake up surprised by the strong gusts that have pushed in under the cover of darkness.
But what about when the storms aren't outside your window, but inside your life? Where should you turn?
One place to find the answer is in the book of Isaiah, one of Jill's favorite books in the Bible. Jill teaches about the character of God by sharing how He cared for the Israelites and Isaiah, but she also shares practical stories from her many years of ministry to illustrate God's promise to shelter us when things get difficult.

If you have little children in your life, you may have heard of "teachable moments." That's when you take an ordinary occurrence and tie it to a bigger, more important lesson. In this message, Jill shares how Jesus never missed a teachable moment, and we have the opportunity to use them to share Christ.

Have you lost your joy? It can be hard when life is swirling around you and beating you down, but true joy is found in praising God for who He is and what He's doing, even when you can't see it.

In many of the remaining monarchies, the kings and queens are much beloved by their people, but they have very little real power. Sadly, many believers relate to Jesus the same way. They proclaim Jesus to be King of Kings and the Lord of their lives, but they make all the decisions! When we let Christ truly reign, amazing things happen.

Some of the most well-known Bible characters had bad days—just as we do. No matter what your struggle may be today—depression, low self-esteem, bitterness, disappointment, anger, jealousy, weariness, even a lost will to live—there is a person in the Bible who felt those exact same feelings. Jill takes us through this familiar story to reveal the Father's heart.

One of the hardest things in life is facing rejection, especially when it comes from someone we love. We, like Leah, might keep striving, struggling, and manipulating to earn acceptance from our loved one. We may feel alone, but God sees and hears what we endure.
