The God Of After

Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast.

Be sure to.

Subscribe so we can get you these new sermons every week.

I hope you're blessed today right now online.

If you're joining us as a part of our efam, put in the chat where you're joining us from. We have been in a flow in the church and God has been speaking to us the last few weeks.

Well, he's been speaking to me.

And I learned a long time ago just to stay in the flow with the Holy Spirit and as long as he would. And so I'm going to stay in the same flow that I've been in the last few weeks and continue with the scripture that I love in one Peter, first Peter, chapter five, and I'm going to pick up in verse eight. I want you to go back and read the whole chapter when you get home, but I'm going to pick up in verse eight today

This is the verse that I want us to really think about today.

And the God of all Grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

And that good.

Let's read it again, that verse and the God of all Grace. The first week we talked about the God of also, and then we talked about the God of again, and we talked about last week the God of Already I'm still not over that message. I'm still not over

Would you join me in praying again?

Father, I thank you for each precious person that you brought under the covering of your word. Today, in your shadow most high, we find refuge and strength and safety. I prayed that this could be a place of safety, a place of strength for everybody who needs your voice today in a specific way in their life.

Hit the target. Holy Spirit, I offer you.

All of me, and I asked that you would make up the difference what they need and what I know. There's a really really wide chasm between the two, but not for you. You can speak to the exact thing that they need. And I trust that you will, and that you already are. In Jesus' name, Amen, you may be seated the God of After. You ever had a delayed reaction where you got the joke but it was like too late to laugh without kind of looking kind

You can't exactly meet up with them and do it again.

I think sometimes the delayed reaction would be a good thing in my life. A little space between what happens and how I act wouldn't hurt that bad, you know, sometimes because I'm quick on my feet. But that works against me, because sometimes I'm quick on my feet, and so I get myself into situations before I've had the chance to think about them. And that's probably why I love this scripture where Peter is saying, be alert and sober minded and get ready for the devil, because he's coming for you.

That's just the fact of it, you know.

And there is no amount of preaching in the world that can prevent the enemy's attack. In your life specifically, there is a suffering that we all must endure. But two things I want you to know about this suffering before we get really into this message today, is that Number one, this scripture suggests that whatever suffering you're going through, it's only for now. It's only for now. Say that out loud, it's only for now. Put it in the chat, please,

But this is a.

Type of suffering that he's talking about that is common, and that it's.

Actually come for a reason. Now.

One of the things that I was talking about last Wednesday. I spoke to my staff Wednesday, and after I spoke to the staff, I spoke to a smaller group of like twenty of the top staff new staff, and I had a conversation with a young lady because in the staff teaching, I was talking about how you deal with correction or specifically not fighting against things that God is trying to sin to help you in your life, which

And I said, I don't.

I never process positively in the moment, almost never.

You don't either, But after.

After, you know, then that's usually where a lot of my spiritual growth happens is after I screw it up and the Holy Spirit shows me how you screwed that up?

Would you like to keep screwing that up?

Would you like to have me show you how to stop screwing stuff up in your life? And I'm like, well, lord, it just depends, like what am I gonna have to do to stop screwing it up?

And I gonna have to go back and apologize.

And I want you to realize that spiritual growth is not measured by perfection in the moment, but really on your ability to go back after the fact and be correctible by Christ so you don't get frustrated with yourself. I told the staff member who asked me that, I said, just yesterday, just yesterday, this guy honked at me, you know where this is going, and with my elevation sticker on my car, he hanked at me and he pulled out in front of me. Let me set this up for you, this fool.

This brother.

Figuring out who I'm talking to today when he pulls out in front of me, I'm going to speed limit.

I'm doing nothing wrong. I mean nothing wrong.

I can't always say that on the road, but in this particular instance.

He hanks it me and he pulled out in front of me.

So yes, I stopped the car, and yes.

I backed up, and yes, I said are you good?

But I smiled when I said it, and I kept my voice really low, and he said are you good? And I said, I don't know. That depends are you good? Because if you're good, I'm good. But if you're not good, you know.

Now you know.

I had to get all the way back to my house and try to think what made me back up and talk to this guy on the road like that.

I mean, this guy might be getting.

Baptized someday in my church.

I don't know this guy. He might be some special Forces.

He might have something in the glove box that will make my last Sunday, my last Sunday preaching.

I don't know any of it. I don't even think about it in the moment.

I think about all that after And then I tracked back and I was like, why was I so tight?

Why couldn't I just laugh at this.

Blessed tool of the Lord for my sanctification and drive on. I realized what we did right before that was take family Christmas pictures. My wife has me taken the family Christmas pictures now in August.

Of course I'm edgy.

Who wants to take family Christmas pictures even in December, let alone in August.

Do you know all the fights.

That we have been through in family Christmas pictures through the years.

Of course I'm a little edgy.

So I'm bringing this up as a humorous example and my own expense to show you how imature I can be. But that I realized that something happened and before he pulled out in front of me and hanked at me. That made me back up in middle of the road and act like I'm thirteen. And then sometimes in our own lives, we never take the time after we act a certain.

Way to back up and ask the question, what was.

It that put me in that frame of mind to act that way. So then we just repeat the behavior over and over again, and the devil just picks our lives apart because we never stopped to ask the question after we.

Act away we don't want to act. I mean, that could have gone much worse.

It was ended up being a pretty mild story in my estimation of how it could have gone. But you know, there are other things in my life that I look at, like times when I am completely unreasonable, and I have to go back.

Sometimes and say what was it before?

I think that's what Peter means when he says in verse eight, put it back up, be alert, sober minded, to recognize when the enemy attacks you where you are most vulnerable to his attacks, because without asking that question, you just kind of repeat the same stuff over and over again. Some of my best growth moments in God have been after my worst performance moments outside of God.

Where I go back and say, what was it?

You ever had something you did where you're like, well, I know, it wasn't that that made me act like that, So what was it that made me act like that? What was it that made me so irritated about something that was so insignificant? Why did something so small, like a pebble in my shoe cause me to walk so crooked? And sometimes when you go back and you look at it,

Can I teach this message today?

Sometimes when the enemy attacks you, you act like it was a surprise attack. But if you would pay attention to your own life, you could be ready for some of the stuff that comes at you regularly. You can't resist the devil that you're not ready for.

I'm just getting warmed up. I hadn't even got to my good verse yet.

But he said be alert and sober minded or clear headed. One translation would say, because the devil, the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. So if he can eat you alive with anxiety, he will because he's looking for his lunch. If he can eat you alive with the fence, he will because he's looking for his lunch. If he can eat you alive with the memory of something that you did that God has already forgiven, he will because he's looking for his lunch.

There is no readiness where there is no reflection.

I want to get better and better and better in my life, not at blaming stuff that happened, but going like, hey, what was it that put me in that state that.

I wasn't ready for that?

And how next time when I'm going into that situation, can I be a little more ready for it. Sometimes God will uncover really weird stuff for you like this.

I'll give you an example. When I get really hyped.

Up before I preach, it's a setup for me to be disappointed if you're not hyped up when I start preaching.

But Here's what happened. I pulled into a private space today.

You had to drive through some traffic and people and stuff like that. I didn't have to bring any kids to church today. Holly did all that, So of course I'm ready. I have to get anybody dressed, anybody in the car on time. I didn't have anybody count for but myself. The only person I had to make sure had his clothes on and shoes on and showered.

Up was me. Oh, I'm in a good mood, but what if you're not. So I realized that, like.

I gotta be ready when I come out here to preach, that you might not be ready to listen yet. Because if I'm not, then when the discouragement comes, when I'm like, oh no, they don't look like they're really into this. Well they're into it, but it's just like a cold plunge for them, like they just got to get settled into it. Let him sit there a minute, you know, I asked Scott one time, because when people yawn when I'm preaching, that really sets me.

Off, like really sets me off.

If you ever notice in my sermon where I take a sharp turn and it gets really really rough, all of a sudden like really mean or like condemnation. I start talk about hell and judgment and stuff like that, I probably saw somebody yawn. That's probably what just happened. And I remember something. Even this week, I was thinking about this because in psychology they call it triggers, and you know different things that it could be a smell, it could be a sight, it could be a sound,

It, but he would full on, stretch back yawn. His shirt would stretch up over his belly.

I had to look at his belly, his open mouth is opened abdomen and all this stuff.

And that was when I was first learning to preach.

And I realized that that kid was right in front of me when I was first learning to teach the Bible. I'm not going to say his name, but he would yawn while I was preaching the Bible. And so to this day, if I see somebody y it actually sets me in a place where I feel like a beginning preacher isn't that weird? Or maybe I just need more therapy.

I wish it did.

I wish that by faith we could rebuke every panic attack in the room, every financial attack in the room, every attack on your physical body in the room.

If I had the power to do it, I would do it. I would love to do it for you.

But there is nothing in fir Peter five eight, or any of the rest of the Bible that suggests that at will we can just rebuke the devil's attack and prevent.

The devil's attack.

But we can plan for what you're going to do the next time he does attack.

That's why Peter called him a roaring lion.

Before he ever comes to devour you, there's always a roar. Do you recognize him when he roars?

Or do we live lives that never reflect?

And say? Why do I keep ending up in this situation? Why is the devil always picking on me? Why am I always in this bad relational pattern? Why are people always and here coming to my eight? Then? Why am I never you know, it's always this thing of blaming it or do we want to beat it and resist it and get stronger from it. I think it would be easier to resist temptation if the consequences were immediate of the sin. I think that would be really easy

You are noticed.

How the benefits of discipline are delayed and the payoffs of donuts are immediate. I mean a quick, sweet relief, a glazed relief. And I'm getting hungry, y'all.

I fast before I preach.

But but there's there's there's there is a hidden expense to sin and a quick hit for sin, and there is a hidden benefit of discipline that doesn't.

Kick in quick. But you'll be glad you did it after.

I used to always say I could do is if my abs would pop pop pop pop while I crunched when I crunch on a fredo. If I could crunch on a fredo and the fat would pop, I could stop with the fridos. But it is the delay that gets me trapped. The consequence comes.

After after somebody shout.

After It's the most amazing thing. What the devil will hide from you when he tempts you. It's an amazing thing. What he'll bait that hook with that you don't see when you bite. It is not until after you are hooked that this isn't so fun anymore. It's not until after you can't get rid of the habit that you wish you had found in a healthier way to deal with

I want you to pray to God after you fail.

But I also want you to pray to God before you fail, so that maybe he can spare you some of the pain. That you could put something in his hands before you get caught in it, so that God could spare you from some of the wasted years. And this is not even in my notes, but I just feel like I need to go off for a minute and say, sometimes we create our own suffering because of shortcuts that we take because of how we want to

Now, because there are some things you.

Want to be in the future that are going to require some adjustments to what you need to do right now. Even some of the scriptures that you hear in some of the messages you hear that will challenge you the most, will help you the most after now. I want in my life not only to get better at tracking back and noticing what happens in those moments where I feel

Because it really went good. Everybody was good. I don't even know why I was in a bad mode. It went great, the photographers were great, it was happy. It's just something about it. And then I look at it and I'm like, okay, okay, okay.

Next year when we take family pictures, I am not going to back up my car and almost fight any rednecks.

Okay next year, No, no, no, next time.

Next time I find myself susceptible, I am going to feed my spirit and talk to myself and be a little bit more ready for that.

And all of that.

You can do so if you will just take some time in your life and especially do it after your only two times. You need to do this after you win and after you lose. When you win over a victory, say what was it that got me ready for that?

Y'all?

I got certain friends that I found out when I talked to them, I win more.

You got anybody like that in your life? Now, let me turn around so you can have a private moment. I have other friends.

Who when I talk to them and spend time with them, it puts me in this spend cycle and I don't know why, but I've end up more cynical on the other side.

Pay attention to all of that, because sometimes in your.

Life you'll notice, oh, when this happens, it is the consequence of something that came before it, And a lot of times that is a relational consequence of who you are spending the most time around. Here's another thing about since you asked me about Instagram. Sometimes you feel to your stomach, but it's not your stomach. It's what you scrolled through fifteen minutes ago that made you judge something, feel something, see something that triggered a response in you.

After.

If the moment you were looking at this stuff, you were like, this is making me more judgmental and less content, and this is causing me to kill my own appreciation for my own life and only as.

Fire to things that aren't even a part of my calling.

If you thought that while you were looking at it, you would stop looking at it.

But the devil hides the hook. The devil hides the hook. The devil hides the hook. Somebody say, the devil hides the hook. Now touch somebody and say stop biting. How many times is he going to have to reel you in before.

You resist him, before you can see it coming, and say no, I'm not even gonna take the bait.

I don't even get paid to argue with you.

I don't even nobody is worth that in my life.

I'm not coming down.

There for this anymore, because if you don't see it, he will eat you alive. He's looking for someone to devour, and the one he can devour the most is the one who is vulnerable and doesn't know it. When you know you're vulnerable. It gives you an opportunity to be

To devour. Is it you? Is it you?

Have you trained him that anytime he tries that you'll lie down and go with it. That anytime he takes you down that dark path, all he has.

To do is lure you out there? Is it you?

Is it you that every time he can even suggest an anxious thought to you, the enemy can get you to go down so deep in it that it's going to take you three days to recover.

Is it you that if he.

Can make you a little uncomfortable about something, you will reach for something to feel instant relief that is going to bring you an after effect that's going to cause you to be in captivity?

Is it you? Is it you?

If you're not paying attention to the patterns in your life. You are easy pray for the enemy. You gotta get into spirit lad reflection, where the Holy Spirit takes you back through your day and shows you ways that you can handle things next time. Not so you can blame what happened in your day or in your life, but so that you can beat it next time, because there will be a next time. There will be a next time. If the devil hadn't messed with you, good news. You

He'll mess with you again. You're like, I don't I know that he's just been leaving me alone. I don't really need this message.

Keep this message right there, like, don't put it in the fridge, because it's just you gonna need it. You could leave it right there. It's gonna be right there soon. He's looking for someone to devour. He's looking for somebody, somebody who's vulnerable. You got to ask the question, don't you what came before this attack that caused me to be in a vulnerable position. That's a great question to ask. And the more you ask it, I believe, the more that God will show you and give you an awareness

And that's how I grow.

It's not fancy, I know, it's not amazing, it's not sexy, but it's what Peter said.

He said, be alert and a sober mind. Your enemy. The devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking.

For someone. Who's he looking for someone? Someone he can devour? And you got to ask the question, don't you If the enemy is attacking me right now? How is he attacking me? When does he tend to attack me? I want to be alert to this. I don't want to be ignorant of his schemes. When does he attack me? How does he attack me? What are those access points where I let him get to me? What are the things? And that is a valid question, and we have to ask it or we'll keep repeating.

The same patterns.

But there's another question I want you to start asking, and I want you to ask this question right after you ask where is the enemy attacking me? Because you can mention a few areas today I know you could if we passed the mic around and you were honest and weren't scared to be in judge, you could name a few.

Places he attacks you. They might be some.

Areas that are more socially acceptable, or they might be some areas that cost shame. But you could answer the question. And if I asked it, where is it that the enemy attacks you? And what usually comes before it that causes you to give into it, that makes you weak for it?

What is that? But there's another question that I want you to learn to ask, and I think this is also very powerful.

If the enemy is attacking you as much as he's attacking you in your life, I want to ask the.

Question, what is it about you that he knows that is causing him to attack you like that?

If he's looking for someone to devour and he's picking on you, then what is it about you that causes you to be a target? In other words, how many of you feel like the devil has just really been after you or someone that you love in this last season? And this is not a trick question. I really want to see who to aim this spit at when I appreciate it. I want to know if the enemy is

To fight you so hard like that?

What is this spirit of heaviness that's been on you lately?

Really about? See? Because I know on the surface we.

Tell ourselves, well, the reason I'm depressed is because I just suck, because I'm not much, because I don't have the resilience, I don't have the fortitude, I don't have.

The moral character. That's why I'm dealing with this insecurity? Is it?

Is that why you're dealing with the insecurity because you're really a nobody?

Or is the devil looking for someone.

Someone who has something, something that they don't see the true value of yet, so that he can catch you in your vulnerability, so that you never see your true value, so that you never.

Do what God gave you to do in the earth? What's the after? What's the after? If you've been.

Discouraged, really discouraged and down in your soul lately and you've been thinking that must mean that my bestness behind me? Is that really true? Or is there something I'm just curious. Is there something so significant in the next stage of your life and you can't see it? But maybe the enemy has more vision for your life than you do, because he sees something that's in you.

In the scene form. And if it ever comes forward, if it ever gets watered.

If it ever gets l liked, if it ever gets full grown, it's gonna spread out and bear fruit and touch lines and change the world.

What's he after?

Get real good at answering how the enemy's attacking. Well, you give me these headaches, Well, he's give me these problems on my job. Well he's surrounding me with these people. Well, nobody gives me credit. Okay, we can focus on how he's attacking you, or we can spend a minute and think about why.

What is he after? In my life?

The greatest seasons of temptation to quit, just before the most significant moments of breakthrough, I came to prop.

Aside of somebody today.

I don't care what has been before.

I didn't come to preach about the God that you knew before. I didn't come to preach about the time you wasted last year. I didn't come to preach about how your week went last week is.

Sunday morning, and I came with a message about the god of after.

It's just a question, ask your neighbor, what's he after? What's he after?

Because the enemy doesn't have unlimited artillery, So if he's coming at you and he shouldn't at you, that must mean you have something that he wants. That must mean that you have something of value. I've been to about ten Carolina Panthers game since I lived in Charlotte.

Nobody ever tackled me.

I guess I didn't have anything they wanted.

I bet if I had that ball and I was on that field and I was headed towards something that could.

Actually inflict damage on the opponent, I get tackled.

I get hit. Some of us aren't getting hit because.

We're not headed toward anything. But if you're headed towards something, I need three people in a Vand if you're handed towards something, if you're handed towards something, maybe.

That's why he's been on your heels. Maybe that's why spit kind of rough. Maybe that's why is Ben kind of rocky. Maybe that's why that storm has been blowing.

Because when I get to that stong knock out somebody who's like needs my life.

I wonder what he's after. I wonder what your.

Carrier that you're not even aware of yet. I wonder what you're gonna be talking about a year from now that you don't even not asking for yet. Woo. It's powerful, y'all, it's powerful. Has that devil been after you? We'll get happy because that means you have something worth attacking.

That means it's not over for you. That means it's something.

Oh oh oh, I'm gonna sup this.

The devil sort of took you out before you heard this sermon, because after this, look.

You're tack on track, backing up, fight, you're backing up.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

No, we should have took a selfie before I started appreciating, so you could have a before picture.

Because when you leave this church.

Today, No, no, I gotta appreciate it like God gave it to me.

I can't mess it up. I can't mess it up.

And the God of all grace who called you to eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, set your timer for a minute flat. I set your timer for a minute, one minute, one minute on the timer, one minute on your phone.

One minute on the.

Timer, somebody say, after, after, after, tell me.

What you got it set for one minute? For one minute. I want one minute. I want one minute. Peter uses a very very significant phrase.

He says, after you have suffered a little while, somebody say, a little while, a little while? How many have you been suffering for a little while? Oh, it's been a while. It's been a while I've been dealing with this. It's been a while i've been dealing with this.

It's been a while that I felt like this. He still hadn't started his timer yet. He's about to start it in a minute.

Sometimes it's prolonged suffering, right. Sometimes you ask the question like I asked the Lord one time.

I read that scripture. It said in a little while, after.

You've suffered a little while, I asked God.

How long is a little while? So I want one minute on the timer. That's an hour.

I need a minute. We have a different definition of a little while.

I need the countdown timer, not the count up timer. I need the alarm where it's going to go off in a minute. Because God gave me something to say to somebody, and I don't know who it is. We got fifty seconds left now.

Not all suffering ends in a short time, but there is a decision that you can make in a moment where you can say, you know what, I have stayed stuck in this season long enough.

I have replayed this memory long enough, I have laid down and died twenty eight long enough. And Peter says that after you have suffered a little while, just a little while, it's just a little while. It's only for now. I know it seems like forever when you're going through it. But ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds, seven.

Seconds, six y five. Hold be real quiet, be real quiet.

Oh, his ringer is off.

You are the worst illustration and partners, all right.

So since his alarm filled, I need you to help me. I'm gonna need you to help me.

Since his ringer was on silent, I'm gonna need you to be the alarm for your neighbor. I'm gonna need you to be the alarm for your neighbor.

Stand out, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up. We're getting ready now. We're getting ready.

Now because it's been a minute for some of you, it's been a minute since you felt the joy of the Lord it's been a minute since you've seen yourself in the future. It's been a minute since you've opened yourself up to a new possibility. But I want you to look at your neighbor when I say three, I want you to look at your neighbor and say, it's been a minute. One, two, three, it's been a minute.

But guess what.

Look back at them and say it has been a minute. Tell him it's been kind of hard. I've been crying about it. I've been stressing about it. I got a lot of questions about it, and I'm not exp in a quick fix. But tell him it's been a minute. And this is my after. This is oh God, my after. This is my after.

Watch. No, the problem's not over yet.

But my.

It's our set. My that's a sets, our set.

This is my after not when I'm perfect. But I've suffered enough to know now that he's the god.

Of Who better to teach us this than Peter Peter?

Why would the enemy pick on Peter? He wasn't anything but a fisherman. The devil never attacks what you are right now, He attacks what you're gonna be.

That's what he's after.

Because wait till you see what your kids are gonna be, that's what he's after. Wait till you see what they're gonna do, that's what he's after. Wait till you see how the grace of God flows through you generationally.

That's what he's after. The Bible says that.

A righteous man walks in his integrity.

You gotta see this from Proverbs twenty seven. I saw this, and.

His children are list after him.

You didn't get it.

Some of the stuff you're fighting right now is not about what you are right now.

It's about what's coming after you. Shout after.

So even as Peter was warming himself by the fire, denying Christ, even as Peter was denying that he even knew Jesus, even as Peter was doubting that he wanted to be a disciple, the enemy was after him because if he can kill Peter and take his faith by the fire.

Peter never preaches.

On the day of Pentecost, three thousand were saved that day. After the suffer a little while, after you suffer a little while. That's what the attack is about. Stop thinking that the things that you struggle with prove your insignificance. They actually point to your value.

So we're going to change the trigger response.

This week, something bad starts coming to you as a feeling or a temptation. Oh, there must be something that the enemy is after that I'm meant to do this week.

A lot of it. You will never know it while you're in it. That's what your faith is for. That's what your faith is for. We never know how God is using us or what He's doing in the moment.

Most specifically, there are some of the things that you will not feel in the moment that you will, by faith, experience in the future if you resist the enemy. Because I'm telling you I have stood many times to pray with people and preach to people who had little faith, and it had been worn down to a nub, and in the moment that we prayed, we experienced nothing resembling the feeling of a breakthrough.

We only knew after.

A little while what God would do, And sometimes trusting Him with that timeline called a little while is the hardest part of all.

I was.

I was back after preaching different song I don't want that one. It was I don't remember what city, maybe in Denver, that they brought back a guy to pray with me, and they said his seven year old has a They explained the condition to me at the time. I didn't really even understand everything they were saying, and I'm not really good at explaining medical things, but they

Was a little bit older.

So now they had just taken them in for a scan and they were going back in two days to get the meeting with the specialist and maybe schedule the surgery. So in the meantime, they came to Elevation Nights and someone brought them over and said pray for them, would you? Their son is having surgery, and I said I will, and I learned as much as I could learn in that short time and pray.

I don't even really remember praying the prayer.
