Are you tired? Do you need help?

Hello Victorious Living family, I am Christy Overton Johnson, your host of More Victorious Living and today I'm coming to you from the beach. It's getting to be beach time and I love being able to take you guys places that maybe you've been dreaming about or wanting to go and today I actually can't get down onto the beach for a couple of reasons. Number one, it's so eroded, I don't know if you saw my video with the sandbags, well it is even worse and I cannot get down from the property, it is such a far drop. I could probably get down but I wouldn't get back up and that wouldn't be a problem other than I can't walk to where there's an entrance because I dropped a table on my foot. So yeah, our ministry got a new office and Christy likes to do way too much, that would be me, and I was trying to move all sorts of furniture by myself when the team wasn't there and as I was pulling a table, the big metal base that my husband had just attached, I guess I drug it a little too hard and it stripped and he says I can't blame him, it was my own fault. So anyway, that thing came down like a guillotine on my toe and I didn't know if I was going to have toes left, but I do, but they're very sore, especially my big toe and so I cannot go out there and walk, but we can hear the waves and we can hear the birds and we can see the palm trees and there's some clouds coming in, so I just wanted to, I come today because it is so peaceful, I'm going to be quiet for a second and let you just hear the waves and the birds and then I want to bring a word to you that it will encourage you and I just looked at myself in the camera and I do want to apologize for the wet hair. So yeah, you could tell I'm over my vanity with you guys. Years ago I'd make sure all the makeup was right and my hair was done and now I just, I guess I'm just getting older. I was thinking, you know, when we started these, I was 50 years old and now I'm 56 and I'm starting to care a little bit less and I don't know that that's, that's good. So anyway, we'll just keep going, but I just look over here at this dot on the camera. So I'm looking at you because if I go like that, I'm looking at me and then I freak myself out and I'm like, Lord, how mercy, you should have done something, Christy. Well, I want to bring you guys a word of encouragement today.

I have been a little flat. Let's see, how can I explain that? Or off and I was talking with the guys at the local jail here and we were all talking about those moments and those seasons sometimes where you just don't feel a lot of energy and you just don't feel right and that's what one of the guys looked at me, he goes, I thought I was the only one that was like that, that just didn't feel right. And no, it's not. It's every member of our team. It's every single person. I'm reading the, you know, Psalms this morning and David's crying out to God to, Lord, would you have my joy restored? Would you give me peace? Would you help me give me strength? And, you know, I think that's one of the reasons God included the book of Psalms is so that we can know that we're not alone. You know, you read the Bible and you see where people were exhausted. You see where, I think it was Elijah that's like, Lord, just go ahead and kill me. Take me now. And he had just come off a victory. And that happens a lot of times when we come off a victory. It's like the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. But, you know, sometimes like myself, we exhaust ourselves in the journey. Maybe you know what that's like, like we run too hard, too fast. We do things as my friend Julie last week said, she goes, I crossed the line as stupid. And yeah, I do that a lot because my strength is perseverance. My strength is not quitting. I love people. I love helping. And sometimes you can cross the line of stupid and exhaust yourself and you can be pulling tables trying to do things and smash your own toe.

And maybe That's where you are today. You have acted in a way or done something. You crossed the line of stupid and you found yourself wounded. You found yourself locked up. You found yourself in a place where you're exhausted and that's where I am. I feel locked up in my body and my mind. I feel like I said flat. There's a lot of things going on and you know getting ready to move. I'm excited. My daughter told me that she's getting married so we're you know starting to plan those things. The ministry office has moved also and everything's growing. Everything's moving and changing and maybe that's how you feel right now. Everything's moving and changing or maybe it's very stagnant and you're not moving and changing and you're just you're tired of the same thing every day every day every day and so today I'm gonna bring you a verse that came to me by way of a devotion last week. You know I was crying out to God. I was writing Lord help me. Your daughter is exhausted. Your daughter feels nothing. Your daughter is faking it till she makes it right now. Like I am putting a smile on my face walking in the jails literally limping and saying Lord help me. Give me a word. Give me something and this week he gave me something. I looked down and there was an envelope and it was by another ministry and that ministry sends out devotions and been so busy I hadn't had time to read it and I just felt like the Lord said pick it up and it was a it was a study on the chapter Hebrews 4 and the verse Hebrews 4 16 in particular and it says so let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There at the throne of our gracious God we will receive his mercy. Now I'm reading the New Living Translation so again this is Hebrews 4 16 so God is saying you can come boldly to the throne of grace and it's it's the throne of our gracious God who is our Heavenly Father. There at that throne we will receive his mercy. Now what is mercy? Mercy if you were standing before a judge, mercy is going to be not receiving what you deserve. So let's say you killed somebody and you deserve the death penalty and the judge says I'm not gonna give it to you. In fact I'm gonna let you go free. I'm gonna give you a second chance. That's mercy. Do you remember like

playing a game that's called mercy I think and you would grab hands and you would turn hands with someone else and try to get them to say mercy like stop you've got me. You deserve to take me down but you're gonna stop. That's mercy and God is a God of mercy like you and I it says that we deserve death because of our sin because of and what is sin? Sin I am you know we think oh you're a sinner yeah it simply means we have missed the perfect standard of a holy God. I've already sinned today. I have sinned probably in my thoughts. I have sinned in maybe a judgmental thought. We sin. We are sinners but God so loved us that while in our sin while we were sinners he died for us. Didn't wait for us to get it right. He died for us. He gave us mercy for the wages of sin the payment for sin the Bible says is death but the gift of God the mercy of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ his Son. That's the Word of God. That is the promise of mercy and that's what Hebrews 4 is saying here. If you need help if you need strength if you need peace if you need wisdom if you need a word if you need forgiveness whatever it is come boldly not with your head held high held low not in a being ashamed what that is behind me people walking it's not being ashamed it's not you come to God like I just read with David and David said Lord forgive me forgive me for shedding blood I killed a man I killed Uriah this was back in Psalms where I don't know if I can find it this fast here but yeah Psalms 50 turned right to it and he's saying forgive me God he wrote this actually Psalms 51 he wrote this when he had come back to God he He comes boldly to the throne of grace and says, God, forgive me, forgive me because I killed a man. He had killed Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba because he had had an affair with Bathsheba while his servant Uriah was on the battlefield. And he's like, forgive me because I have sinned. And this can all be found in 2 Samuel where he goes and he kills Uriah because he wants Bathsheba.

And not really that, he wanted to cover up his sin. So he kills Uriah. So everybody thinks he came home, slept with his wife and went back on the battlefield and got killed. Well, actually it was David who had slept with Uriah's wife while Uriah was on the battlefield and David had to have him killed. But David knew the character of God was he was a forgiving God and merciful God and a God full of grace. And so he said, God, forgive me. So read Psalms 51, I think that'll encourage you. And God does forgive him. And God actually calls David a man after his own heart. So we are to come boldly. Like we don't come, God, forgive me. It would come, God, forgive me. But we come, not like staying away. God is saying, come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Come to me and I will give you forgiveness. Come to me and I'll give you a family. Come boldly to my throne of grace, not of judgment, of grace. God has already cast the judgment. He cast it at Calvary on his son. Like Jesus took your judgment and my judgment and now God is saying, come to me where you're gonna find the grace. You're gonna find mercy.

And then it says, so there we will receive his mercy, God's mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Now what is grace? Grace is God giving us to something we don't deserve. So mercy is God not giving us what we do deserve. We deserve death, we didn't get it, he gave Jesus death. Now he's gonna give us grace and that is giving us things we don't deserve like another chance, like freedom in our minds, a sound mind, maybe healing, wisdom, creativity, joy, peace, right relationship with God, eternal life with him. And then there's so many other blessings that I don't receive that I get. That's God's grace, his help in our time of need. We don't deserve it, but he gives it to us and answer in our time of need. We don't deserve it, but he gives it to us. So we can be, we can come, this is what God showed me last week. Daughter, you just come to my throne, just keep coming. And there you're gonna find grace and mercy. And you're also, it says, he'll find, we'll find grace to help us when we need it most. Now what I saw in that devotion, Rick Renner gives a wonderful study. He dives into the Greek and I wish I had, I might have the word here, I don't know. I've got some of my notes, but Lord help, Lord help.

Oh, I got it right here. And I'm gonna butcher the saying of it, but help in time of need is a military word. And in the Greek it's B-O-E-T-H-E-I-A. So B-O-E-T-H-E-I-A. And it's, that sounds like I'm saying E-I-A. Boethia, Boethia, I don't know. I'm Southern, I can barely speak English. So it's an urgent cry, listen to this, I wrote it down. It's an urgent cry from a soldier who has fallen in battle, that's us. So like, soldier is someone who's going, you know, we're at war. And you think about this life we're in, we're at war. We're at war against an enemy and a system and environments and everything and people who wanna take us down, that wanna kill still and destroy us, that wanna hurt us and destroy us and make us come in line with their way of thinking. And we get in these battles and sometimes we get hurt. We fall, we make mistakes. Other people hurt us, they cheat, they rob us, they steal from us. They, you get locked in a system that's unfair a lot of times and you're not getting grace and mercy and you're not getting corrections. You're, you're, and it's just,

just a beast. But God says, despite all that, you can come and I see you in your time of need. So this is saying it's a military term that it's an urgent cry from a soldier who has fallen in battle. They've been besieged, ensnared, and wounded. And our cry, when you cry out to God, listen to this, it puts in motion a rescue operation. It's swift. God is moving to bring us back to a place of safety, security, and protection. It's divine intervention. So when you cry, God starts to move. I love Psalms 18. It says, I hear your cry and God thunders down from heaven and he's shrouded in the clouds. You see those clouds right now? We can't see it, but the sun is there. And you can't see for the clouds of your situation right now, but God is coming and he's riding in on the clouds. And he's gonna come and he's gonna help you. It's coming. Sometimes that help, it comes so suddenly. Sometimes that help is a process, but it's put in motion. And that's what I need you to know. God is at work. It doesn't look like it sometimes. You may not feel it. I haven't been feeling it. And what God showed me, he's like, daughter, you're gonna finish this race. I've got you. And listen, I heard this week, you know, you know the verse, maybe you do, maybe you don't. It's faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. And this week, I got a word from God. I heard it. He said, daughter, you're gonna finish. I heard it through this word of Hebrews 4 16. And I'm hoping that you hear it right now that God is saying, you keep coming. You keep asking. You come boldly through the throne of grace where you're gonna find mercy and you're gonna find help from the gracious God in your time of need. He hears your cry. He sees your situation. He knows you by name and he is putting in action a rescue mission. A suddenly that's coming that you won't even know how it happened, where you're extracted, where you are given a word, where you are, your family's all of a sudden restored. I think of a lady that's on our ministry team and she is so amazing. But she was estranged. Miss Margaret was estranged from her father for 25 years. He wouldn't speak to her and she kept praying and God heard her cries and all of a sudden, 25 years later, because of his sickness, she's been able to be by his side and he's calling her daughter and she's seeing a

family restored took 25 years. Doesn't feel like a suddenly, but we got to remember God's time is not our time. This world right here that we're in, it seems like forever, but it is a dot on a spectrum of eternity. A lady in our jail ministry, we were in jail this week and she put this big black dot, let me see if I can do this, a big black dot and she put it on the prison wall and so you had this big black dot and she put it on the jail wall. The wall, the concrete jail is barely sticking up there and she had this dot, my pens given out, but y'all get this idea, this dot, this represents our life right now. Everything that we're seeing and experiencing and feeling, it's right here and then she said, if you could extend a line or a piece of yarn from here and you just go around these jail walls, these prison walls or these prison yard or whatever, your city, whatever you want to think and you just keep going and you just keep going and you just keep going and you just keep going and you just keep going. That yarn, that line represents eternity, that dot represents us right now and it feels very painful right now. This toe hurts, your situation with my toe is nothing compared to your situation, but it hurts when you're watching your children go through certain things, it hurts, but here's the thing, this represents the hurts we have now, this represents eternity. What we have to look forward to if you're a believer in Jesus Christ. The Bible is so clear. And think about it God being a gracious God. He's not asking you to work for it because he knows He created us and think about your day how hard it is for us to do the right thing and God He knew that and he knows that That's why he says come to the throne of grace where I'm gonna help you get through this life And that's what he showed me and I don't know we don't have rights to it I wish I could show you but there is this On YouTube. I've watched it. I don't know if it was YouTube or where I saw it, but it was this Clip from an Olympics from many many years ago, and there was a runner and I don't know where he was from but he fell towards the end of the race and he was running a good race and he fell and His father and he was hurt. I

Don't know if it was a hamstring or what but he was down he was hurt and he couldn't get up And his father jumps I don't know if it was from the stands or the sidelines and he runs out on the Olympic field Because everybody else has left him. Everybody else has passed him And I'm sure this wasn't legal and I'm sure it didn't count but you know what that father went and helped his son up and they were weeping and His son was weeping and his father says get up. I got you And that's what God showed me this week Listen I was crying and I said Lord I'm wounded Your daughter has been fighting hard my whole life And I'm tired. I'm hurting and I know I have a long way to go because God has shown me with this prison ministry He's just getting started and I said Lord help me Please spring into action If that's your prayer today ask God to spring into action. I said, I know I've self-inflicted so many of my wounds By overdoing by pushing by not resting by multitasking I've split my brain God has shown me I've split my brain cells like I Start something I go to something else and then I go to something else and then I commit to do this and I commit to do this and I say yes to that and I and it's because my heart wants to help people and my heart wants to do and And I like to achieve and you know that made me a world champion that persevering spirit is persevering spirit, but Sometimes I go too far and across a lot of stupid Maybe you know what that's like And I said, I'm sorry For not caring for your temple the way I should For not caring for me for not always doing the right thing and maybe that's where you are today. You could say God. I'm I'm sorry For the decisions I've made I'm sorry for the blood I've taken like David and Psalms 51. I'm sorry for the words I've said For the thoughts I've had for the revenge of salt, I'm sorry

I have exposed myself to so many sinful things Some just by living in this polluted world and environment others. I walked into this is what I said to God But there is mercy and there is grace at your throne And here's what I've heard all of a sudden I saw that picture of that father coming down helping up his child cross the finish line and God showed me that that's what he's doing for me. And that's what he's doing for you And I heard I hear you my daughter I hear your cries for help and I'm here You will finish the race and that hearing of that word built my faith and It returned to me a little bit of joy a little bit of strength a little bit of excitement I was able to go march into the jail on Thursday and sit with those guys and share this word Just like I'm sharing it with you and I was able to say guys And I was able to say to some of the leaders that were sitting in there This one leader that was sitting in there with me and a lady that goes in with me also to be able to say You know what ladies? God is coming up under you too, and he's helping you And so God this whole Hebrews 4 is a promise for rest that God promises his people For the Word of God it says in Hebrews 4 12 is alive and powerful It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword it can expose us from the inside out and You know this word it doesn't just expose us. It doesn't just come against us. It wants to lift us up It wants to direct our footsteps It wants to renew our spirit within us and renew our minds and renew our lives and restore them. That's what the Word does and I was able to get in this Word this week and and realize and remember in Hebrews 4 14 it says I have a high priest his name is Jesus who's entered heaven and he's interceding for me and he understands my weaknesses because he faced everything that you and I are facing yet he did not sin and he went to the cross for us to make a way for us to go to heaven you don't have to

work your way there God has already made a way through his son and now he just says come to me come to me and I'll forgive you come to me I'll make you right with me come to me and I'll give you peace come to me and I'll help you in your time of need and I will spring into action my daughter my son and I'm gonna come out on that battlefield with you into that prison cell that solitary confinement cell that that prison yard where it's frightening I'm gonna come and I got your back I've come to come and we'll walk with you that yard as JC says I will walk the yard with you and I'm gonna lift you up I'm gonna hold you close because you're my child and I know it's hard he says and I know you're weak but when you're weak I'm strong when you're weak you're strong God is strong he is says in Psalms I believe it's 190 139 he'll give you his strength he'll keep you good Lord Almighty come on it's not but it says that he is weak he is strong when you are weak that we grow faint oh come on Christie where is it we grow faint we grow weak and we're exhausted I don't know where it is I don't know I cannot believe I can't find it but it says that God gives us his strength and even though we're weary and we grow faint those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength why because he gives us his strength it also says in Romans 8 and I'm gonna close with this listen if you're weak you're tired and you don't even know what to pray for I was talking about that the other day Romans 8 we talked about this at the Pitt County Detention Center and they said you know we just thought that we don't even know what to pray for well Paul didn't either at times and it says in Romans 8 26 and the Holy Spirit will help us in our weakness y'all have shared this that word help again means he partners he falls in he runs to a rescue mission helps us that's that's his children if you're a believer in Jesus Christ that's us in our weaknesses and listen I have here that word weakness means you're sick you're weak you're broken you're down in your mind your body your emotions are you weak today in one of those places I'm weak in my body my mind's tired it's hard to concentrate I can't remember a lot of things and since we don't even know what God wants us to pray for I've been there of you but the Holy Spirit prays

with us you have a Holy Spirit in you that is interceding for you and he can pray in the spirit that's why you have to get in the spirit you have to be praying with God and I've had a moment where I I started praying I said God I don't even know what to pray for and all of a sudden the Holy Spirit started praying through me with words I didn't understand he's pleading for us in harmony with God's will and we know that God will cause everything to work out together for the good of those who love it doesn't say it feels good doesn't promise that but it says he will work it together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose and so it says you're chosen and you're to come to him and he calls you and he gives you the right to stand with himself just like it says in Hebrews 4 he gives you the right to come boldly to his throne of grace where you're going to find help tells you here that you have a high priest Jesus who understands your weaknesses he has been through it all he's been rejected He's been arrested. He's been falsely accused. He's been sentenced to death, and he died a criminal's death. This was a perfect man. Listen, he gets it. He was rejected by his family. They didn't even believe in him until he, James, the book of James, that's his brother who came to know him as Messiah, as a Savior, after Jesus was crucified. His brothers mocked him. His own people betrayed him. Jesus betrayed him, and Jesus kept calling him friend right to the end, knowing what Jesus was going to do. He's had people betray him, people that, when he was in trouble, left him. He was on that cross, hanging there. He's being flogged and beaten and at trial, and nobody was there with him. They're looking from the gate, and Peter, John was there, but Peter and the rest of them, they scattered. They were worried about themselves. He's been there. He gets it, and God says, You need help? We're coming to help you. We're going to undergird you. We're going to give you the strength. The Spirit of God's going to infuse you with his own spirit. It's the Spirit of God. He's going to infuse you with his strength, and when you're weak, he's going to make you strong because he's going to give you his strength, and you're going to look back, and you're going to say, How in the world did I get through this? And listen to this. What can we say about all these wonderful things? Romans 8, this is my favorite chapter, Romans 8.

If God is for you, who can be against you? If God is for you, who can ever separate you from his love? Nobody. Read this. I want to close with this. If God is for you, who can be against you? Since he did not spare his own son, Jesus Christ, will he not give you everything else you need? Yes, he will. Who can accuse you? Nobody. God has chosen you as his own, and he gives you right standing. Listen, God forgives. The world doesn't, and whether the world ever forgives you, whether the person you offended or hurt or harmed ever forgives you, they should forgive you because God says forward to forgive one another. But even if they don't, who can accuse you? Even if the judge doesn't acquit you, who can accuse you? Because God has already said you're right in his eyes. Who can condemn you? Nobody. For Christ Jesus died for you, and he was raised to life for you. He's sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand pleading for you, for us, for me and you. So let no one accuse you. Can anything ever separate you from God's love? No. Does it mean he no longer loves you if you have trouble? No. If you're being persecuted, if you're hungry, if you're destitute, I'm going to add something. If you're locked up, if your family's turned their back, if you've gotten a bad diagnosis, does that mean that God doesn't love you? No. If you're being threatened with death, does that mean God doesn't love you? No. Despite all the things, it says, Romans 8, 37, an overwhelming victory is yours through Christ Jesus. Doesn't mean he's turned his back on you. Doesn't mean that he's not seeing. It doesn't mean that he doesn't care. Doesn't mean that he has forgotten you. Doesn't mean that he's judging you. God is a God of grace and mercy and you can come boldly to his throne and it doesn't say he's going to think about it. It says you will find it. You will find the help. He says, Paul says, I'm convinced. This is a man who was imprisoned. It's a man who followed God, um, not at first when he was trying to follow him, but he was off and he was killing Christians. And then he has this Damascus road experience. He was on the road to Damascus going to kill Christians and he has this experience and then he gives his life to the Lord and he puts all of that fervor, all of that passion into God and Jesus Christ and preaching Jesus Christ was crucified. And you know what? It led him to some tough places. He was shipwrecked. He was bit by a snake. He was rejected. He was, um, locked up. He was flogged. He was hungry. He was, uh, laughed at, chased down, hunted down like an animal. And he says, no, despite all of that, I have an overwhelming victoriness

in Jesus Christ because he wasn't remembering this dot. He's remembering all of this, that he's got eternity. He's already won. I've already won. You've already won. We have right standing with God. That means when we die from this place, we will stand in his presence for all of eternity, not being. of you to being welcomed. This is neither death nor life, angels or demons, our fears for today or our worries about tomorrow, nothing, the powers of hell cannot separate us from God's love. God loves you, my friend, and if there's anything that I hope that you hear from the teachings that I bring, it's that He sees you. He sent me to prison years ago in 2013 to visit my friend Bill, and there he put his love in my heart for you while I was sitting in a reception room in a Miami federal prison, and he said, he said to me, now this man is long gone, he's, he's, he's out of prison, but he said, God said to me while I was there, this, these are my people, and they're not a number to me. I saw those tags, I saw those brown jumpsuits, he goes, and they're not, they're more than what they're wearing, they're not a number to me. I know them by name, I know how many hairs are on their heads, I see them, I love them, and I'm not done with their lives, and if they would just turn to me and come to me boldly to where their throne of grace is, they're going to find the help they need, they're going to find a family. You've been looking for a family, you've been looking for a home, it's in Christ, in Christ you will find everything. I hope this has encouraged you today. Father, I pray for my brother and my sister today. We are wounded, Lord, we're tired, but I thank you that you, Father, are coming, you're, you're swimming out to us in our waters of defeat, you're running out on the track on us when we've been knocked down, you're coming out on the military field with us to pick us up when we've been harmed in battle, maybe because we exposed ourselves, maybe because we ran ahead of you, Lord, but it doesn't matter why. If we're down, Lord, you're coming to help us up. If we will just cry out to you, help God, help us, you know our hearts, you know a repentant heart when you see it. It's not about us coming and going through emotions, it's, it's not about what we do, it's about our heart. And then our heart for you will lead us to follow after you. It'll lead us and want to do good things, because that's what we were created for. It'll cause us to chase after you, Lord, and want to walk in obedience out of our love and gratitude for you. You said, I read in Psalms 50 this

morning, God, that you're not wanting sacrifices. What could we bring you? It says nothing because you already own it. It says every bird, every cattle, everything in this world is yours. So us bringing sacrifices to you, that's, it's great, but that's not what you need. What you need and what you're wanting is a contrite, broken and contrite spirit. A person that comes to you, Lord, and says, God, I realize I've messed up. It's what David said in Psalms 51. I realized I killed a man, forgive me for shedding blood. Lord, I'm sorry. I see the error of my ways. And I agree with you that I was wrong. And I'm asking you to restore to me, to take your Holy Spirit from me and God restore David and use David. And that's what you're going to do for us. And you're going to help us. You're lifting up your daughters and sons, just like that father did in the Olympics. And you're helping us get across the finish line so that you can tend to our wounds. God, you don't want us limping through life. Lord, you want to tend to our wounds. And I thank you God that you're doing that today. If we'll just come to you boldly to the throne of grace, we will find the grace and the mercy and the help that we need right now in Jesus name. Amen. God bless you, my friend. I'll try to do my hair sometime for y'all. It was a beautiful day. There's no wind today. Now I'm going to be quiet.
