Stop Crying and Go Forward | The Fearless Kingdom | P. Jason Lozano

<p>Pastor Jason Lozano of Freedom Christian Center explains that when we complain we limit the Power of God and block the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit. Complaining hinders our focus, kills our faith, attracts negative people, and causes us to forget His faithfulness. When we stop complaining, we are able to see from God&apos;s perspective and Go Forward, knowing that God has already given us the victory. <br/><br/>1. Stop Crying – Complaining Will Never Bring Breakthrough</p><p>Ex 14:15 Why do you cry to me? Tell my people to go forward</p><ul><li>Complaining leads to more complaining, becomes a habit, hinders our focus, kills faith, attracts negative people, kills creativity etc.</li></ul><p>Ps 106:25 They grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to God’s voice </p><ul><li>It blocks the voice and direction of the Holy spirit etc.</li></ul><p>Ps 78:40-42 How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! 41  Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. 42  They did not remember His power </p><ul><li>It limits God&apos;s power, and causes us to forget His faithfulness</li></ul><p>Phil 4:4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!</p><ul><li>It brings hopelessness and depression and robs joy</li></ul><p>Phil 2:14 Do everything without complaining and arguing</p><ul><li>It makes us unthankful and ungrateful – we can’t praise God and complain simultaneously </li></ul><p>2. Complaining is a Sin that Callouses the Heart and Removes Faith</p><p>Js 4:7 (nlt) It is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it</p><ul><li>Sin says you will be satisfied, but the sin only satisfies temporarily </li><li>Sin hardens the heart from trusting God wholeheartedly</li><li>Sin separates us from the presence of God </li><li>Sin keeps us in the past and locks future blessings up</li><li>Sin must be repented of and renounced – go forward</li></ul><p> Heb 12:1-2 (MSG) We’d better get on with it.
