Why do people get stuck in their problems? Why do people get stuck in bad relationships?
I mean, they know the guy is a jerk. They know the guy is unfaithful.
And he's cheated several times, but they stay in that very painful relationship.
Or they jumped from one jerk to another jerk to another jerk.
And you ask the question, you know? You scratch your head and did you say,
"Why they stuck? In as vicious cycle of one pain after another pain, after another pain?"
Why do people get stuck in their past? They never move on. I remember,
I'm not only talking about relationships, I'm talking about all sorts of problems.
Someone came up to me, and said, "Brother Bo, you know? I've heard your talk, and
it's amazing talk. And Brother Bo, this is it! Because of your talk,
I'm moving out of my job. My job is horrible; you know?"
And he starts talking about how horrible his job is, you know?
"That the pay was horrible. It was just so tiny. And the workload is so immense and distress.
And the boss was somebody, humiliates people in public."
Etc. And then, I said, "Wait a minute."
"How long have you been in that job?" And he said, "14 years." And then,
I said, "Wait a minute."
"Why only now have you decided to move out? You mean, to tell me
for the past 14 years, they've paid you that amount, and no promotion?
No salary increase? In spite of all the stress, and all? And the guy says,
"Yeah!" Wow! Why? It's my question again,
"Why do people get stuck in their problems?" I'm gonna share to you why.
And by the way, thank you so much for your concern. When every time I do my
Fulltank in the car, people ask me, "Brother Bo, you know?
Wear your seatbelt." Yep! There's a seatbelt right there. But it's just a waste.
Like tied around my waist. There's no shoulder straps. Sorry for that, but I am wearing a seatbelt.
Okay, here we go. By the way,
my name is Bo Sanchez, and welcome to Fulltank, your place of inspiration.
I pray that you will be inspired, as I read the Gospel for the day. Our Gospel is Mark 5:1-22 -
It's the story of Jesus delivering someone from demons.
He's a demon-possessed person. Really a madman. And Jesus drives out the
devil, and people were so shocked. But here's what I don't understand in the story.
You know? People after they saw the miracle, after they saw how wonderful and
how powerful the authority of Jesus was, to drive out the demons, and how the
person became normal. Can you just imagine? This man was really like wild
living there in the, you know? My gosh! He was suddenly he became
normal, and you know what they did? The Bible says, "They begged Jesus to leave them."
Now, that's shocking. You know?
I was just thinking, "Hey! They saw Jesus, the miracle worker.
You know? The mayor of the town would have given Him the key
of the city." If it was here in modern times.
Or at least, you know? They would say, "Hey Jesus! Can You live here?
Woah! We've got other wild people, that you need to drive out Evil spirits from. And there
are a lot of sick people here." But no! They begged Jesus to leave.
Why? Let me tell you why.
It is also the reason why people get stuck in their problem?
It's because of fear. We fear what we do not understand, and especially
we fear, by the way, do you know what the number one fear? It's the fear of dying.
Yes. The fear of public speaking is pretty high up there. Let me tell you why?
It's not really people fear death. They fear what will happen after death.
Bottom line: People fear uncertainty.
And that's the reason why people get stuck in their problems, because at least
they know that, if they are in their problem, they know what's gonna happen.
Everything is predictable. That this relationship will not work.
That they will be hurt again. That this jerk will keep on you know?
Being a bad person. And this person will remain unfaithful. And at least,
there is some predictability, even if it is very painful. They do not want to
move on, because it is so uncertain, and uncertainty is very scary, for many people.
Today, my message to you is simple. Jesus, He is your miracle worker.
And I have one thing that is very certain, that you can hold on to for the rest of your life.
Are you ready? God will be in your future.
That is something that you know is very certain. God will be there beside you, in your
future, no matter what will happen. That's why you can move on! That's why you can say,
"This is it!" "I've had it, with this bad relationship."
"I'm moving out!" "This is it!"
"I've had it with this horrible situation, for years!" "I've been tolerating."
"It's so painful and I want to move on!"
God is in your future. God is right there,
and He's gonna bless your life. And I pray that you're gonna have a fantastic week.
In the Mighty name of Jesus,
receive the blessing of the Lord. Receive the power of God. Receive the joy of the Lord.
Receive the love of God, right now! Receive His blessings. In Jesus' name.
The courage to move on, because God is in your future! In the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. God bless you! Have a fantastic week everybody.
See you tomorrow!
