Get your foundation correct

Hey everyone I want to talk about getting your foundation correct, you see the tree behind me as you can see from there you see how big it’s gotten (in video), you know God created all the trees, so as seeds they will grow up, they will produce fruits and they will sit in soil and then they will spring up to be a mighty tree. Our walk with Jesus Christ is very similar, first the seed is sown, so you have someone preach the gospel to you and even before that you have someone that prepares the soil which are people in prayer, and basically when the seed is sown its starts to grow and grow and it starts to sprout when they accept Jesus Christ, that’s the beginning of the growth in Jesus Christ and it says in scripture in Mark 4:17, it says basically, when trials and persecution come they fell away because they had no root. 

Basically you need to have your root correct, you need to have your foundation correct because you see this big tree behind me (in video), it wouldn't of got that big without good roots so I want to say to you my friends that you need to get your roots correct, you know how a house is built, do you think somebody just built a house on just any old ground, well these days they actually get the foundation correct before they start building the house so what happens is they get the diggers, they get the bobcat, they get all the machinery and they get the foundation absolutely correct, they get it on solid ground and then what happens is they lay the concrete and they let the concrete set and then they start building, well basically we need to get the foundation correct and I want to tell you what our foundation is, basically our foundation is in Jesus Christ, our growth is in Jesus Christ, it’s all to do with Jesus Christ but here’s some of the things that you will need to get your foundation correct, your first one is your relationship with God through prayer, if you keep in prayer your foundation will become stronger, secondly is love, third faith, fourth hope, fifth repentance and also there are many others to get your foundation correct and basically and trust and all these other things that will help you get your foundation correct.

 

And once you’re strong in all these things then you can start building. So if you got concrete surface, you need to get it correct first of all because you can mess it up you need to get your concrete, concrete floor and your concrete foundation and then you got to start building your house, so basically we got to do likewise and once were strong in all these things, although we will still grow in the things I mentioned before we can start building and growing in Jesus Christ and you see how buildings how they take a while to build that is likewise with our walk with Jesus Christ and we can go onto maturity if we just get the foundation correct we can move onto perfection if we get the foundation correct.

You see how it talks in scripture, how it talks about the building and the one who put their building upon the sand it washed away and the one who build their house upon the rock it stood sturdy, you know if we get our foundation correct and we build upon that foundation, we build God's kingdom, you know when persecution, trials and temptations come up a mighty wind like a hurricane force comes on a house that was built to code will last that is likewise with our walk with Jesus, if our foundation and our house is built to code, to last what’s to come, then we will stand strong in the Lord and we will not fall over because there is many people today that don't have their foundation correct they don’t have the basics and they skip all those things so when a mighty wind comes they just keep crashing. 

That’s how you can get inconsistent with the Lord Jesus Christ, you keep falling, getting up, falling, keep getting up, but I say to you get your foundation correct and when you get back up and something hard comes along, you will not be moved, you will stand their strong, basically were going to keep on building, were going to keep on building until we enter the kingdom of heaven it’s as long as we keep on building, we keep on growing in Jesus Christ, keep on growing in all these things, but I say get your foundation correct without having your foundation correct you will perish another way to get your foundation correct is through understanding and knowledge, it says in the bible, my people perish because of a lack of knowledge, so that’s another thing you need to grow in and all these things will stop you being ineffective in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

For if you possess all these qualities of Love, Hope Faith, perseverance trusting in the Lord, having a relationship with the Lord you will not fall, but you will be strong, you will be upon a rock if you’re in Jesus Christ and not in your own strength, if you’re not in the world, if you’re not in sin but in Jesus Christ, you will stand at the day of persecution and trial.

So ill remind you again get your foundation correct and make sure it's concrete, hard set and then start building and going onto maturity. For if you don’t get the basics right you will perish basically, it says in Hebrews six let’s stop going over the basics, basic teachings of faith in God, repentance from evil deeds, from baptisms, the resurrection from the dead and the eternal judgement and laying of hands, you need to be strong in all these things. For if you don’t possess any of these qualities you’re going to perish, you’re not going to make it to the kingdom of heaven, so I say to you get your foundation correct, get your strength from the Lord Jesus Christ, grow in the Lord Jesus Christ, your relationship with God is very special, so grow in it. Keep praying, even though you don’t feel like it, prayer is good, even though you don’t feel like reading the bible, read the bible it’s very important for if you want to grow, you have to have self-discipline and you have to trust in the Lord so go with the Lord's spirit and go in his pace. Don’t skip any of the teachings he wants to teach you but go with his spirit for he has many things to teach you, so grow in faith, love, hope, understanding, grow in your knowledge of the Lord, grow in your, grow in your relationship and you will make it to the kingdom of heaven, may God bless you and may he impart peace to you in the name of Jesus, Amen.
