This, I'm going to be honest 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,400 with you. This is out of my comfort zone. 69 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,200 You guys know me. You guys know I like to talk but 70 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,800 when it when everyone's just staring at me and I have to do 71 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600 all the talking and we don't get to conversate back and forth. 72 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,700 It's a little bit different, it's a little bit like out of my 73 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,800 comfort zone. And not only that, it's just 74 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,300 ministering the word which takes on a whole new like fear for me. 75 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,400 But, but I appreciate past, or not. 76 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:44,500 And I've always said, and, I've told Brother Zach this, the 77 00:03:44,508 --> 00:03:47,000 other night that anytime Pastor asked me to do it. 78 00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:51,000 I'm gonna say yes. I don't know, it's because I 79 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,200 know that there's a reason that he's asking me, especially even 80 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,700 if he's here, that there's a reason that he's asking me, 81 00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:59,600 whether it's God speaking to him telling me to do it or just 82 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,900 something that he feels that. All right, James, you have been 83 00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:03,500 a little bit of lakhs and I need you to do a little bit more, 84 00:04:03,508 --> 00:04:07,200 whatever he feels in his Spirit, but I appreciate him. 85 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,800 I appreciate what he's doing? Of course, we talked about it, 86 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,600 he does iron sharpens iron, and we just had it just this last 87 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,300 Thursday and, and we don't get to have it every every month 88 00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:19,300 like we planned. But, but when we do get to, It 89 00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:25,200 is a vital intricate thing for me because just this last time, 90 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,400 I was like, Pastor, why can't we have this couple weeks ago 91 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,400 because it would have been a little bit more because just the 92 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,900 information that he gave me kind of was very important for what I 93 00:04:32,907 --> 00:04:35,700 was getting ready to do today. Of course, I want to give 94 00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:37,500 honored of course, the rest of our ministry. 95 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,700 Bishop is here tonight, sister. Maggie is here tonight, love and 96 00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:43,200 appreciate them. I love seeing them here. 97 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,400 I know they hate missing here. I know we said last time that 98 00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:50,600 the, when they've been gone due to the Pain and not being able 99 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,600 to be here and waiting on the surgery is the longest they've 100 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000 ever been out of church. And I know that they hate not 101 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,600 being here and I appreciate them, and the Masons and, and 102 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,400 what they do.

Nathan, I love, you know, this. 104 00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:04,200 I know you've left kind of, like, gotten back a little bit 105 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,200 more on the singing, But when you sing it just does something 106 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,800 for my spirit. You just got a voice that just, 107 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,800 I don't know. Just brings back those old 108 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400 memories because when I first came here, you were the only one 109 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,500 singing with a little bit of help, but it just brings back 110 00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:18,700 and I just love to hear you sing. 111 00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:22,200 I appreciate you for like and I know you told us your vocal 112 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800 cords are stripped, but he's still getting up here singing 113 00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,100 and and I appreciate him for what he does. 114 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:33,000 That is a sacrifice Sometimes sometimes we Overlook it because 115 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,000 it is a talent that some of us lack and and it may come easier 116 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000 for others, but it is a sacrifice to do. 117 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,400 What he does day in and day out, but I appreciate the ministry. 118 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,100 I appreciate what they're doing for me and in my life. 119 00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,000 But while I have, you standing will go ahead and go to the 120 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,600 reading of the word and I'll let you sit and we'll see where we 121 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,000 go tonight.

It was making a sound. 181 00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:03,400 I tell you and it did not sound good, I was in the parking lot 182 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,600 and I was, I thought I knew what it was. 183 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,900 So I was looking up a video right before service of how to 184 00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:12,400 fix it and brother, Mike was standing outside and and he 185 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,000 heard my car and I come walking in. 186 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,900 He goes, what are you trying to do? 187 00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:17,800 Start that thing? No, it was just running, it was, 188 00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:23,300 it was having issues. And I had Monday off of work, so 189 00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:24,700 I had Sunday, it was making noise. 190 00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,400 I had Monday off of work. I was like, all right, we're 191 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,600 going to see what this problem is. 192 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,900 I thought it may have been an idler pulley for anyone, that 193 00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:31,900 knows what that is. It's just, it's just something 194 00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:35,200 on the engine, okay? And I looked up a video, it 195 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,100 didn't look that hard to change. It was fine. 196 00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:41,100 Well, okay, I had the day off and I'm like, all right, we're 197 00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:43,700 going to work on this, come to find out, it end up being like a 198 00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:47,400 water pump and so I get to looking at it and I've got that 199 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400 change the water pump while I'm in there. 200 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,400 I change the idler pulley. Cuz it was bad to and you know 201 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,900 when a car gets a lot of miles, there's stuff that's gonna go 202 00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:55,800 bad on it. Right? 203 00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,300 And so I changed the water pump. It was leaking, everything that 204 00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:00,000 was bad, change, the idler pulley. 205 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,700 And then while we're in there, messing around. 206 00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:04,200 We look at the belt, the serpentine belt, which makes all 207 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,600 those things go. It was dry rotted. 208 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,600 It was cracked. It would had all kinds of 209 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,300 issues, and I'm like, all right, all right. 210 00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:12,700 What, what else? You know? 211 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,900 That's, that's the question we're not supposed to ask, 212 00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:17,600 right? But I get to looking at that and 213 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,600 I'm thinking, man, that's, that's that that Bell was bad. 214 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,100 For many of you know, like passages said, I had just gotten 215 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,700 back over. Thanksgiving from a trip to 216 00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:26,900 Texas. That's a 14-hour drive there in 217 00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:29,900 a 14-hour drive back. So that's, that's a long haul, 218 00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:31,600 right? And as I look at the issues that 219 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,100 my car was having like, okay, that was just a blessing in 220 00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,600 itself. All right, that God made God, I 221 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,700 was able to get there, get back, nothing broke, that, that belt 222 00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:43,600 was just in bad shape and I didn't have any issues with it, 223 00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:45,900 but given what was wrong with it? 224 00:10:45,908 --> 00:10:48,400 I'm surprised I didn't have any issues with it, right? 225 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,900 And so we get those things changed on money, I have The day 226 00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,000 off work. It was great. 227 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,800 I was able to do that stuff, get it changed. 228 00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:57,800 And then when you know Wednesday my car just has a bad vibration 229 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,400 in it. I'm like what in the world is 230 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,800 this? So it gets and it kind of goes 231 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,100 away. You go certain miles per hour 232 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,800 and then it like it started to go a second. 233 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,300 All right, well maybe it's fine. Well Thursday, it had the same 234 00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:12,400 problem and I was like, all right, I've had this vibration 235 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,100 before when I when I've had the car before and and it end up 236 00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:18,700 being a caliper locked up on the left hand side. 237 00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:20,800 Well, I'm like all right I think I know what it is. 238 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,000 It is, I get to work it, you know, it was vibrating and it 239 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,800 was having issues. I get to work and I'm like, all 240 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,200 right, I need to see because, you know, if it's a caliper 241 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,800 locking up your wheels going to be hot. 242 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,400 And there's a lot of heat that's there. 243 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,400 And there's been many a cars that have caught on fire because 244 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,000 the break is locked up. So, so I get down there. 245 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,400 I start feeling around. I feel the left hand side, and 246 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,000 I'm like, that's the one I'd change before. 247 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,800 It's cold, it's good, nothing wrong. 248 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400 I go with the right hand side, I reach through the wheel, to feel 249 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,700 the heat and I touched that rotor and I burned my finger. 250 00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:53,100 That that was. I had a locked up caliper so 251 00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:55,400 when you know Thursday, I get off work, I get to go to the 252 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,700 auto parts store, get some more stuff and, and I get to change 253 00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:02,000 out account, a brake caliper. Get done with us. 254 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000 It's fine. I've done this before, it's no 255 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,100 problem. But we can get in the mindset 256 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,900 that it's really easy to get frustrated and get upset about 257 00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:16,000 when it rains it pours, right? Because that's what I do. 258 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,100 That's what was happening to me. Write my car started having 259 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,900 issues man I thought it was one thing then it was something else 260 00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:23,300 and in the first thing that was going to be a cheap fix. 261 00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:25,500 Well then the next thing is a little more expensive and you 262 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:27,400 know, and then it just kind of snowballs from there and then 263 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,300 the break locks up and I'm like, man, you know, it's just it can 264 00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:33,400 be easy but but I think it's all about perspective. 265 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,300 Right. It's all about your perspective, 266 00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,100 I could get upset and I could get frustrated about my car 267 00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:42,200 having all these issues or I can look at it from a different 268 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,100 direction. I you know like I said I just 269 00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:48,400 got back from Texas or was no issues and then they all get 270 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,600 that they all issues snow pile. But I happen to have Monday off. 271 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,300 Why did I have Monday off? Well, it was just a random day 272 00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:57,900 that I don't. If I don't use these days before 273 00:12:57,900 --> 00:12:59,800 the end of the year, I'm gonna lose them. 274 00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:01,600 So I was like, all right, I'll just take this Monday off. 275 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,100 Well, it just so happened. I had taken this day off. 276 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,100 And I had this time to change the parts because once I get off 277 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,800 work, then I wouldn't have time because it wasn't a quick like 278 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,100 five minute job. It was a pretty intense job and 279 00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,800 so I have the day off to make repairs and then you know 280 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,600 Thursday I was able to make that repair. 281 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,700 I was able to get the part that the auto store the auto parts 282 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,600 stores had my parts. They had what I needed and it 283 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,200 was fine and I think so long, right? 284 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:31,300 So okay, but it had what I needed and so I was able to make 285 00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:34,100 the repairs myself and I was able to do it myself. 286 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,100 And if I look at it from that direction, that that's just the 287 00:13:37,108 --> 00:13:41,000 financial blessing because it had any of this went out while I 288 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,300 was driving to Texas, I would have had a tow bill, right? 289 00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:46,200 I would had to have be towed wherever I was. 290 00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:48,900 And if I was halfway between that six hours, one way, six 291 00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:51,700 hours, another way it just, it could have been a whole lot 292 00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:54,700 worse or and then I would have had to pay a mechanic to fix it 293 00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:56,000 because I wouldn't had any tools. 294 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,200 I would have had any way of doing it myself, right? 295 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,800 So if I look at it that way, then it was a financial blessing 296 00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,500 because I didn't have to Pay somebody else to do it so I can 297 00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,400 look at it is, oh man, when it rains it, pours all this man, 298 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,500 it's costing me money. But if I look at it the other 299 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:14,800 way man, it could cost me so much more I could have had to 300 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,800 have somebody else do this, right? 301 00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:21,200 But I'm thankful that I can have that mindset but it's not always 302 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,100 that easy. Because I can look at it now, I 303 00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:24,700 can think. Oh yeah. 304 00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:28,700 Well that's the mindset to have and I can I can do that but but 305 00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:31,000 it's not always that easy. Probably the worst thing that 306 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000 you can say to someone that is going through something or in 307 00:14:34,008 --> 00:14:37,100 the middle of a storm and the middle of a trial is just a 308 00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:40,400 little longer, who wants to hear that? 309 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600 I mean, seriously. Nobody wants to hear that when 310 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,200 you're in the middle of a storm in the middle of a try. 311 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,600 Hey, just a little bit longer. I know that it's real dark. 312 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,900 It's been raining for a long time. 313 00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:50,100 I know that you have all these issues in your life. 314 00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,700 I know that you're battling migraines but just a little bit. 315 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,300 Longer. I know, I know that you've been 316 00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:56,800 throwing up and now you're just dry heaving because you got 317 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,600 nothing left to throw up, but just a little bit longer, you 318 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,300 know, if I know you're in so much pain and you can barely 319 00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:06,800 even stand a walk or move but just a little longer, okay? 320 00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:09,300 That's the worst thing that you can say to someone, because they 321 00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,800 don't want to hear it right then because you're not going through 322 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,900 what they're going through. It's easy to say just a little 323 00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,100 longer when you're on the other side and everything is fine. 324 00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:21,700 We want the storm to end. We want everything to be good. 325 00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:24,400 We don't want to know, Just a little bit longer, we want to 326 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,500 know exactly when it will end. So we have something to look 327 00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,500 forward to. All right, we're looking at the 328 00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:31,300 10-day forecast. All right, it's raining for the 329 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:33,500 next three days, but in four days, we're going to have 330 00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,100 Sunshine. We're going to have a, we're 331 00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,700 going to have 80 degree weather. We want to look forward to 332 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:40,600 something and just sleep through our pain, sleep through our 333 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,400 trial, right? We don't know what, we don't 334 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,300 want to know, what else can go wrong, right? 335 00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,300 Because in the midst of a trial and storm, in the midst of 336 00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:52,600 whatever it is, you have going on. 337 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,400 On everything is going to go wrong. 338 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,500 Nothing's going to go right? And and we know that that's the 339 00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:00,200 one question that you never asked in the middle of a storm 340 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,100 in the middle of something.

Yeah, just ask that in front of 342 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,400 someone and they will let you know. 343 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,300 It, don't ask that question because you will find out. 344 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,000 Yeah, it's like praying for patients. 345 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,800 You just it's something you don't do. 346 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:16,000 That's that's one of the things you learn real quick. 347 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,700 When you come around people that pray is like, don't pray for 348 00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:21,300 patience like what that sounds use. 349 00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:23,000 They said pray for everything. No, no. 350 00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:25,100 You don't want to pray for patience because God is just 351 00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:28,900 going to give you an opportunity to work that patients to try 352 00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:31,600 that place to get better and to have patience. 353 00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,800 That's so that's something you don't, you don't want to do. 354 00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:37,300 If it can become very easy to have a woe is me attitude? 355 00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:41,600 And feel like you're the only one going through, whatever it 356 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,500 is, that you're going through, it's very easy, it's very easy 357 00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:48,400 to feel like nobody else knows because because you don't feel 358 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,700 like anyone else can relate, right? 359 00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:53,500 Because a lot of times, you'll get some people that are really 360 00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,200 open about their problems. And they will share everything, 361 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,000 but then, but the most of us, we don't want to share our 362 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,100 problems. We don't want to share what's 363 00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:05,099 going on with us because we You know, that's just the way we 364 00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:06,200 are. We don't want people to know 365 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,900 that we're hurting that, we're going through something that, 366 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,099 you know, that we try when we're by ourselves at night, or we 367 00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,599 don't want them to know that that we're vulnerable. 368 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:20,400 We want people to think that we're strong, but I'm here to 369 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,300 tell you that you're not alone, no matter what the adversary is 370 00:17:24,300 --> 00:17:26,900 going to tell you, no matter what you're facing right now. 371 00:17:27,099 --> 00:17:29,600 You are not alone. You are in this with other 372 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:36,000 people. And just like, not everyone 373 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,200 knows what's going on in your life because you're not an 374 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,200 oversharer, you don't know what everyone else is going through 375 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,100 either. Because I think the majority of 376 00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,500 us don't want to burden somebody else with our problems. 377 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,800 We think that our problems are just not that significant and 378 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,500 that there are others that have it worse than you do, right? 379 00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:58,200 I mean I probably said that, right? 380 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,700 That I might be in the midst of something, but that other 381 00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:03,000 there's people there's people that's worse off than me. 382 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:04,900 You know? I just have car problems. 383 00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:06,700 There's somebody else battling cancer. 384 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,900 There's somebody else that's dealing with homelessness. 385 00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,000 There's somebody else that doesn't know where they're going 386 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,700 to get their food from tonight. There's somebody else that Is 387 00:18:13,708 --> 00:18:15,600 still looking for a job. There's somebody else. 388 00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,000 So my problems are not that small. 389 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,400 We put a value on our problems because we think that somebody 390 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,100 else has it so much worse, but that's how we think not God. 391 00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,200 His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. 392 00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:36,200 Isaiah 55 89, says, from for. My thoughts are not your 393 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,000 thoughts. Neither are your ways. 394 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,200 My ways saith the Lord for, as the heavens are higher than the 395 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,600 earth. So are my ways higher than your 396 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,100 ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 397 00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:52,200 So we should never never put limits on God, based on our 398 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,300 thoughts. Hey man. 399 00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,300 We should never put limits on God based on our thoughts 400 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,100 because his thoughts are higher than ours. 401 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,000 Well we're going to do is we're going to make our God look like 402 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,700 a human to us and we're going to bring him down to humanity 403 00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:08,800 standards and think that he doesn't have all the power that 404 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,500 he has. That he can't do what he can do 405 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,300 that. He can't heal Us in the middle 406 00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:16,600 of Arkham, and he can't take away the sickness in our life 407 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,000 that he can't heal a joint that he can't do, what it is that he 408 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,900 can do that. We know that he can do So, so 409 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,900 God cares about you specifically, right, we can't 410 00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:31,900 put limits on God. God cares about you. 411 00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:33,700 Specifically, how do I know this? 412 00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:36,800 How do I know that out of all these people in all the world? 413 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,600 God cares about me specifically. Well, Matthew 10 and 30 tells me 414 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,000 says, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered my hairs. 415 00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:50,700 Are numbered mine, not yours. You don't know the number of 416 00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:53,900 hairs on my head, but God does he knows all that? 417 00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:56,800 Now, I know we joke about this all Time that some people are 418 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,100 easier to count than others, right, I know we joke about that 419 00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:03,200 but in all seriousness in everybody over all the world, 420 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,000 not just not caramel, not just L annoyed, not just the United 421 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,400 States but the entire world that's billions of people that 422 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,800 God knows every hair that is on their head. 423 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,900 You specifically, God knows the hairs that are on your head, he 424 00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:21,000 cares about you, no matter what, no matter what the adversary is 425 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,500 telling you, God cares about you. 426 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,600 He knows you individually now are open in. 427 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,500 Scripture says that there is a season for everything. 428 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:36,300 And we know that no season lasts forever, but some Seasons last 429 00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:38,100 longer than others. Amen. 430 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,300 Amen. Some Seasons. 431 00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:43,000 Last longer than others. And I think here in a little bit 432 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,500 we'll find out why When we were in Good Seasons, we are not 433 00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:50,400 worried about how long they last amen. 434 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,200 How many, how many really enjoy the winter that these ice cold 435 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,600 temperatures that we have out here? 436 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,200 When your hands are freezing? Your feet are freezing nobody. 437 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,500 Nobody loves that go to. Okay. 438 00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:06,800 You know I'm just kidding, I do not love it, I do not love 439 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,000 freezing cold hands. I like to be able to feel my 440 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,300 hands and and I've said it often times, I'd rather be sweating 441 00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:15,200 then cold. So when Summer's here, that's a 442 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,200 Season for me, when Summer's here, I'm not worried about how 443 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,200 long it's going to last. I'm not worried about when it's 444 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,900 going to end. I'm just enjoying the day. 445 00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:25,000 It might be 100 degrees outside but I'll say, you know what, I'm 446 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,400 going to enjoy it anyway because I don't like the cold, we're 447 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,300 going to continue, right? So some Seasons last forever, 448 00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:33,000 some are better than others and we're not worried about how long 449 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,300 the Good Seasons last but I tell you when the difficult Seasons 450 00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:41,100 come along we get a little bit more I guess scrutiny on it a 451 00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,400 little more worried about how long it's going to last. 452 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,600 All right. How many more days? 453 00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:46,200 How long is Is this going to last? 454 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,500 But and it feels like it lasts forever, right? 455 00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:52,300 The summer the summer time. Feels like it goes by Toto too 456 00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,400 fast. All of our seasons are 457 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,000 relatively the same three months apart. 458 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,300 Right. You know, and I tell you what 459 00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:01,800 some are feels like it just goes so fast and then winter just 460 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,000 feels like it drags on its. That's our good season and 461 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,100 that's our bad. That's my good season of my bad 462 00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:12,800 season, but I'm going to let you in on a little secret that God's 463 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,800 timing is not our timing. We want it. 464 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,100 We want everything on our time, right? 465 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,700 We want the seasons to last as long as we want them to last. 466 00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,300 We want them to go when they when we're tired of them. 467 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,200 But God's timing is not our timing and he knows what is best 468 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,700 for us. Whether we know it or not in 469 00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:34,200 that what Isaiah just told us that his thoughts are higher 470 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,700 than our thoughts. He knows what's best for us, 471 00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:40,700 even though we don't because we are gonna, you know, we will 472 00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:44,000 think with our heart, we will think with our mind and we won't 473 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,400 think with the Holy Ghost, which God has granted us and that is 474 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,100 the thing that we need to lead us. 475 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,200 He knows what's best for us. But when I am going through a 476 00:22:53,208 --> 00:22:57,200 difficult season and nothing seems to work from work in my 477 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,800 favor, I'm always drawn to my man. 478 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,700 Joe Nah. Now I don't know, I probably 479 00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:06,300 talked about Jobe a lot. I don't really know if I do or 480 00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:08,300 not because I don't go back and really listen to my messages, 481 00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:11,300 but I do know I do. I will say because I was looking 482 00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:13,800 through my notes. Last week, I'd are not last week 483 00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:16,700 last month because I did this last month last month. 484 00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:19,200 I didn't mention Joe and I didn't go into depth, okay? 485 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,600 So you guys get to hear more about on tonight. 486 00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:23,600 But when I'm going through a trial, when I'm going through 487 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,000 show, I like to go to job. Job is just somebody I like to 488 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,100 turn to just because if you if you have not heard of Joe. 489 00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:32,800 Which I'm sure many of you has specially. 490 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,200 If you heard me, like I said, but if you have not heard Joe, I 491 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,100 encourage you to go and read the book of Job. 492 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,100 I encourage you to read the whole Bible but but I do 493 00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:45,000 encourage you to read the book of Joe because I think when 494 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,100 we're in the middle of a storm, when I remember in the middle of 495 00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:50,000 a trial, I think every one of us can relate to job. 496 00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:55,500 Now we do not have it near as bad as job if you have it as bad 497 00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:59,200 as job I am so sorry. I am sorry for everything that 498 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,700 you are going through and and I will pray with you and I will 499 00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:04,500 try to be a better friend than his friends. 500 00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:06,600 Were you just? You just let me know. 501 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,600 And I will, I will pray for you but Joe It was just a man living 502 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,900 for God. We read we read about Joe. 503 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,600 He was a man living for God. The scripture says that he was 504 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,300 in fear of God, he loved him. You know, and women who speaks 505 00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:23,300 and fear it that's not and he was afraid of them, but it was 506 00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:27,500 in the respect, you know? And he had a, he had an active 507 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:31,700 prayer life, he did everything right and he had a relationship 508 00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:34,500 with God. When you come to read Jobe you 509 00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:36,400 you will know that you'll find out. 510 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,900 Job was wealthy. He had a good family. 511 00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:41,900 When he had farmland, menservants and maidservants 512 00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:44,200 job. If you think about a job, had 513 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,800 everything going for him. I mean, how could you not like 514 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,400 have a relationship with the Lord, right? 515 00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:52,600 I mean, he's wealthy, he's got Sons, he's got daughters. 516 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,500 He's you know, when we read about Joe, he's been praying for 517 00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:58,100 his sons and daughters. This is how active of a prayer 518 00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:01,100 life he is. Because, in case his sons and 519 00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:04,400 daughters made a mistake, he's offering a sacrifice for his 520 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,000 sons and daughters, not just him because he knows it, he's 521 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,700 living, right? He's knows that he's done and he 522 00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:12,000 wants, That relationship with God, he has everything going for 523 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,200 him, he has that camels. I mean, everyone's looking up 524 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,600 them, he's got the family, you know, whatever it is. 525 00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,700 But even though job was faithful to God and he did everything 526 00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:27,200 right, he still experienced every kind of loss there is man 527 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,500 if you read. Like I said, you read through a 528 00:25:28,508 --> 00:25:32,000 job, then, first two chapters is man, it's full of stuff. 529 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,800 And I mean it starts to get into his friends and going back and 530 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,100 forth with his friends and how they're just not so good but 531 00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:40,800 that's something else. But the first two chapters of 532 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,500 job, you really hear about his life. 533 00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,400 And you really hear about him and you find out that he was 534 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,500 good. He was faithful. 535 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,000 He was just he did everything right, he did nothing wrong and 536 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000 really, and read the reason he went through a lot of this stuff 537 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,900 is because God trusted and believed in him. 538 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,400 Amen. So you might be going through a 539 00:25:59,408 --> 00:26:02,300 trial in your life, but don't think it's because you're doing 540 00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:05,600 something bad, or you got some sin against your life, God may 541 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,700 be trusting you. The we often say that he will 542 00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:10,000 never. I give you more that you can 543 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,200 handle, he knows what you can handle and he's the working on 544 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,800 you. Hallelujah. 545 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,800 So he experienced every kind of lost their was what a job lose. 546 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,400 Let's just kind of give a little bit of a rundown, one, Joe blow. 547 00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:26,800 This is how it all started. He's, you know what first? 548 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,200 He's living a great life, one day comes, and it's first, he 549 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,800 loses his oxen, and his donkeys. And all the servants that were 550 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:39,400 tending to them were all killed, but one all of his sheep had 551 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,300 burned up when they said fire fell from heaven, all of his 552 00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:45,500 sheep and the servants that were tending to the Sheep all burned 553 00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:50,400 up. But one Camels his camel, I'm 554 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,300 not laughing because this is terrible. 555 00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:57,200 But his camels were taking taken and all the servants that took 556 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,700 care of the camels were killed, but one, then his seven sons and 557 00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:05,800 three daughters died and all, and they were having a big old 558 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,400 party and like they had friends and people and everything there 559 00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:14,200 and everyone died there when the house collapsed, but one and why 560 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,900 was it just but one and all this it was so that that one Could go 561 00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:21,100 and tell Joe about the tragedy that had just happened and the 562 00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:25,900 scripture tells us that while one was speaking while they were 563 00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:29,100 in yet speaking. The next one came with the next 564 00:27:29,100 --> 00:27:31,100 sad story. And then, while that one was 565 00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,800 speaking, the next one came with the next session with the next 566 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,100 tragedy and then with the sons and daughters, I can't imagine. 567 00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:42,000 I like, what would he doesn't even have time to mourn or 568 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,200 comprehend. The loss that has just taken 569 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,300 place because he's being told about some other law said he is 570 00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:48,400 it. Experiencing. 571 00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:51,700 But what is Job's response to all of this? 572 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,800 The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. 573 00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:59,400 Now, it's not now it's not necessarily that simple because 574 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,200 Job 1 20 through 22. It doesn't just say, well, you 575 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,500 know, the Lord gives the Lord takes away. 576 00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:09,900 No job one and twenty and through 22 says then job arose. 577 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,900 Rent his mantle and shaved his head. 578 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,500 We know that when people do that, they are in serious 579 00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:18,000 morning, it is not something that they're just like wake up 580 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,800 one day. And you know what? 581 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,900 I need a new hairstyle on a new wardrobe. 582 00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:22,400 This is something that they did there. 583 00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:25,700 Culture was serious morning that went on. 584 00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,000 He shaved his head. He fell down to the ground, but 585 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,700 what did he do? He worshipped. 586 00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:34,400 That's amazing. That is something to be said 587 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,300 about that. He continues in and it says, and 588 00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:41,000 said naked. I came out of my mother's womb 589 00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:44,900 and naked shall I return? Thither the lord gave and the 590 00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:49,200 Lord hath taken away blessed, be the name of the Lord. 591 00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:55,900 And then verse 22 says in all this job sinned not nor charged 592 00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,700 God foolishly boy. Oh boy. 593 00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:03,700 How hard would that be? To experience the amount of loss 594 00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:06,800 that he went through, I know that I've heard stories of 595 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,100 people that lose a child or lose a loved one and they completely 596 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:14,800 turn away from God because they blame God, for letting 597 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,800 something. So tragic happened in their 598 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,800 lives. Why could why could a god of 599 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,600 Grace and a god of Mercy in a God, that loves me. 600 00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:25,700 Let this thing happen. They don't understand. 601 00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:30,600 And they turn from God, but job tells us that the Lord gives and 602 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,200 the Lord takes away. We will never understand it as 603 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,500 we said, and in Isaiah, will never understand it because his 604 00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:38,000 thoughts are higher than his, our thoughts. 605 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,800 His ways are higher than our ways. 606 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,100 We will never understand it. So, don't ever think that you 607 00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:46,000 can think with your human mind that you will understand God and 608 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,700 why things are happening. So, when somebody asks you, why 609 00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:50,600 is this bad thing happen in the world? 610 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,400 I don't know, but God does and I choose to believe in him because 611 00:29:53,408 --> 00:29:56,900 he has a plan and a purpose. And, and it's not for me to 612 00:29:56,900 --> 00:29:59,900 decide because I will not make the right decision. 613 00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:01,400 I will not know what What's right? 614 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,300 But God knows what's right. And I choose to believe that he 615 00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:09,500 has got a plan and a purpose. Hallelujah. 616 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,700 But he didn't stop there. He lost everything. 617 00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:13,800 And then his said and everything and he said, not. 618 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,500 So that's everything that everything, that's everything he 619 00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:19,200 has, but we know that then Satan goes back and talks to God and, 620 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,600 you know, again as like, you know what, he lost everything, 621 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,200 but, you know, okay, that's fine. 622 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,200 That's just her worldly possessions, you take away his 623 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,800 health and he's going to curse you in an instant, right? 624 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,900 We know this, if you've read the, if you read the story, you 625 00:30:30,908 --> 00:30:33,100 know this. So then he lost his health. 626 00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:36,200 He had sore boils from the soles of his feet to the top. 627 00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:37,900 Top of his head, it didn't matter. 628 00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:40,300 If it was on the bottom of his foot, the back of his calf is 629 00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:42,300 bottom side. His back, his head, his ears, 630 00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:45,500 whatever it was, he had sore boils all over so bad that he 631 00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:48,700 was taken a tool that you would use for. 632 00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:51,400 I don't know what, but it's not for what he's using it for 633 00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:54,600 trying to scrape them boils off. Could you imagine the pain that 634 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,900 he is in that he's able to endure the scraping of the 635 00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:00,100 boils? This great this pain that he's 636 00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:02,500 having to endure just because he thinks it is going to get some 637 00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:07,300 relief from scraping with this. That is pain that is hurting, 638 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,200 but on top of that to top it all off, then his wife comes along. 639 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,000 He's going through the hardest thing, that probably anybody in 640 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,800 their life ever has to go through and the one person that 641 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,700 is supposed to comfort him that's supposed to love him. 642 00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,600 That's supposed to speak a word of encouragement into his life. 643 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,400 When he is down, that is supposed to lift him up, when he 644 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,100 can't do it anymore, his wife, his spouse. 645 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:37,000 Tell him to curse God and die. But still, Joe did not said he 646 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,300 wasn't gonna listen to her, he wasn't going to trust in her. 647 00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:41,900 He says that she's as, as the other women that don't 648 00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,200 understand that don't, they're just lacking Faith. 649 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,900 They don't believe. This is truly amazing. 650 00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:51,600 And there's something to be said about that, that woman, that 651 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,700 Satan left alone, because he thought Satan thought that he 652 00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:57,800 was doing a work by leaving this woman and often in the end. 653 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,800 I think the last time I talked about, I said, you know, Satan 654 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,700 got it right by leaving her because he she spoke doubt into 655 00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,600 his life, told him to just Curse God, but we'll find out that in 656 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,900 the end. That very that same woman that 657 00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:14,100 Satan Left Alive. Birth seven Moore's, attend more 658 00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:17,600 children, seven more sons and three more daughters and Joe was 659 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,800 able to have a blessed life because Satan didn't take that. 660 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,100 One thing, he thought he was causing a curse to Joe by by 661 00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:29,200 leaving her alive and ends up. God, will God will use it for a 662 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,900 blessing. So, so, just a spoiler alert 663 00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:34,500 here. If you have not read job in the 664 00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:37,600 end, the Lord gives job twice as much as he had before. 665 00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:41,500 Now, if you re job, you know, that he had a lot to begin with. 666 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,600 And so when it when he gets double the portion he's got 667 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,400 thousands upon thousands of The Oxen of the donkey's of the 668 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,900 camels of the sheep of the you know, and then he's got more 669 00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:54,800 servants and then he gets the seven sons and three daughters 670 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,800 fact that he lost. And in the scripture tells us 671 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,900 that he dies being old and full of days. 672 00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,600 It said that he got to, he got to watch his son, I think it's 673 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,700 140 more years after after he goes through this trial. 674 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,200 After he goes through the storm, he lives another 140 years and 675 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,200 gets to see his sons. His son Sons, and his sons, Sons 676 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,800 his grandchildren. He gets to see them be born and 677 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,700 be raised and and have a great life all because he continued to 678 00:33:24,708 --> 00:33:27,100 trust in the Lord. He continued to send them no 679 00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:30,100 matter my circumstance, no matter what I'm going through. 680 00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:33,500 Yes, I experienced loss but God, you are still great. 681 00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:36,200 You are still Mighty, you are still the provider, and I still 682 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,800 worship you and praise you. Hallelujah! 683 00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:45,600 We can look at the life after joke, storm and think, yes, that 684 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,500 would be nice. I would love to be blessed by 685 00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:50,500 God just like Joe. I would love to have my my 686 00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:53,100 resources doubled.

Hallelujah. 695 00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,100 Praise God. I thank you. 696 00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:21,800 Jesus. But we have to look at what job 697 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,800 endured to get there. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't 698 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,300 want to go through everything job went through it. 699 00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:31,699 There's no way in my life that I would want to go through that 700 00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:34,900 just to experience the blessings that job had. 701 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,900 But it does help me to understand that, I too can get 702 00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:41,000 through whatever storm that I am in. 703 00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:45,000 If job can get through losing everything that he had. 704 00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,000 Because we come to find out that his friends weren't even really 705 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,600 friends in the moment either because they tell them. 706 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,400 Well, you know what, you actually must have sent. 707 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,600 You must have done something wrong. 708 00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:56,699 There is no way that all of this is going to befall you without 709 00:34:56,699 --> 00:34:58,600 you doing something, so they didn't believe him. 710 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,700 So it just ended up being more negativity into his life than 711 00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:06,300 what he really, so he end up being by himself for the the for 712 00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:13,200 the good portion of his storm. He had nobody else to rely on so 713 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,900 it helps me to understand that. I too can make it make it 714 00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:19,800 through a storm. Joe could have easily said you 715 00:35:19,808 --> 00:35:23,600 know what, I can't take it anymore but he didn't, he 716 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,000 continued to praise the Lord and after even lost everything he 717 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,600 worships he worshiped the Lord because he held on just a little 718 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,000 longer right because he didn't give up, he had to continue to 719 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,700 hold on because he hold on just a little longer. 720 00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:42,000 He was able to see the blessing. I'm here to tell someone tonight 721 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,500 just a little longer that thing that you don't want to hear in 722 00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:48,100 the middle of your storm that little phrase. 723 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,300 That just might send a little nerve in your mind and your body 724 00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:54,200 that says don't talk to me like that. 725 00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:56,100 I don't, I don't want to hear that. 726 00:35:56,500 --> 00:36:00,500 Just a little longer. If you give up now, you may 727 00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:02,600 never see the blessing. That is waiting for you. 728 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,500 If Joe gave up in the middle of storm, he never would. 729 00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:06,800 If he would have went ahead and curse. 730 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,000 God, like, his wife had told him to, he would have, never have 731 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,200 gotten to experience his grandchildren experience. 732 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,400 His children being raised again experience, you know, everything 733 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,600 and being dying of old age. He would have never got to 734 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,600 experience that again if he had just given up, so don't give up. 735 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,000 I know that's easier said than done right words. 736 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,300 Talk is cheap as they say actions speak louder than words. 737 00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:35,500 We can go with all the phrases, right? 738 00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:40,000 But James, of course, we know the Book of James and I like 739 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,900 James, he's got a good name, you know? 740 00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:46,700 But but but there's just something to be said but I don't 741 00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:48,500 know. He's kind of he's a he's a cool 742 00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:51,900 dude, I guess but James one makes it sound really easy. 743 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,600 Because if we read James 1 2 through 4, it says my brethren 744 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,800 count, it all joy boy. Oh boy, when you fall into 745 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,200 divers Temptations. Knowing this that the trying of 746 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,200 your faith worketh patience, but let patience have her perfect 747 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,700 work that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing. 748 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,000 Right. So he doesn't say, he doesn't 749 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000 just stop at count. It all joy, when you fall into 750 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,700 divers Temptations. He doesn't stop there. 751 00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:27,300 Although, you know, if we, I think we quote that often times 752 00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:29,800 and you know someone's going in going through something and 753 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,900 you're like, count it all joy. You counted all the, you know 754 00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:36,000 what? You just just smile just smile. 755 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,800 That's all you have to do. It's really simple. 756 00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:39,100 Okay? It because it doesn't matter 757 00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:41,800 what's going on man. It's so easy to tell somebody 758 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,500 that like I said earlier, when you're on this side of it, when 759 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,200 Not in the middle of a storm because, you know, you've been 760 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,500 through your own battles, you've been through your own trials. 761 00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:52,800 That is something you don't want to hear, because it does not 762 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,100 sound very easy at all. That's the last thing you want 763 00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:57,900 to do. But I tell you what, I like the 764 00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:03,300 way the message version words, this James James 1 2 and 4 in 765 00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:06,400 the message, sir. And the message version says 766 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,000 consider it a sheer gift. Aw, it's Christmas time, we like 767 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,100 gifts, consider it a sheer gift friends, when tests and 768 00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:17,300 challenges come at you from all sides. 769 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,100 And boy, does it feel like they do? 770 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,900 You know that Under Pressure? Your faith life is forced into 771 00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:26,700 the open and shows its true colors. 772 00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:32,800 So don't try to get out of anything, prematurely let it do 773 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:38,700 its work so you become mature and well-developed not deficient 774 00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:44,800 in any way man. the message version has a way of putting it 775 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,700 in layman's terms for us to understand, because the thing 776 00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:54,000 that sticks out to me, Is don't try to get out of anything 777 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,100 prematurely. Amen. 778 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,800 You guys can go ahead and stand with me for musicians. 779 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,900 Can come says, don't try to get out of anything prematurely 780 00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:11,000 Because like I said earlier, when we are in a difficult 781 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,500 season we just want it to be done and over with, we're not 782 00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:18,200 worried about a lesson that we're going to learn. 783 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,700 We're not worried about how much stronger it's going to make us. 784 00:39:23,100 --> 00:39:26,600 We're not worried about what's going to come next after that. 785 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,200 That I need to be ready for. We just want this storm because 786 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,800 I don't like being uncomfortable. 787 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,800 I don't like the pain that I feel. 788 00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,200 I don't like the sorrow in my My soul. 789 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,800 I don't like the battle that I'm facing, whatever it maybe, I 790 00:39:41,808 --> 00:39:44,300 don't like it. I just want it to be over. 791 00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:49,500 But if we rush through that season just as the James said, 792 00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:53,300 if we rush through that season, we may not be a stronger 793 00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:56,800 prepared for the next difficult season that is inevitably going 794 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,900 to come because we know that no season lasts forever. 795 00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:02,800 We done talked about that and that every season it's going to 796 00:40:02,808 --> 00:40:05,700 come to week. We have four seasons, right? 797 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,400 You're going to experience every season, sometimes we experience 798 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,300 all four seasons in a day here in Southern Illinois. 799 00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:14,700 And and I mean, sometimes in our walk with God, we may experience 800 00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:17,300 that too. Amen. 801 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,500 But if we rush through that season, we're not going to be 802 00:40:21,500 --> 00:40:23,900 ready for that next season to come along. 803 00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:26,500 We may not be mentally strong for the battle. 804 00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:30,100 We're getting ready to face we. Now we may not be physically 805 00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:32,700 strong for what's getting ready to come at us. 806 00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:40,300 So wait, just a little longer, God has a plan and purpose for 807 00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:44,800 each and every one of us know, all of our plans and all of our 808 00:40:44,808 --> 00:40:48,200 purposes are not the same. You are not meant to do what I'm 809 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,700 meant to do, and I'm not meant to do what you're meant to do, 810 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,200 but we are all one body. We just as the body has many 811 00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,600 members, we are all one body, you can be a toll. 812 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,700 I can be a the small toe that just seems to be little to 813 00:41:03,700 --> 00:41:08,000 nothing but we all want part and we don't want to be lacking any 814 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,000 part of the body. We are all in some season of 815 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,300 life right now because the Bible says to everything there is a 816 00:41:16,308 --> 00:41:18,500 season, we are all in some season right now. 817 00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:21,100 Some of us may be in the same season. 818 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,800 Some of us may be going through the same thing right now. 819 00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:27,800 Some of us may be experiencing a loss at the exact same time. 820 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,600 Some of us may be facing some mental battle you know 821 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,300 depression whatever it may be. We may be facing that but of 822 00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:38,200 course we don't share those things. 823 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,600 Or you may have gone through a battle that somebody else is 824 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,800 going through right now. And that you are there to get 825 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,400 them through that battle. Amen. 826 00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:56,000 This altar is open tonight. For any who will? 827 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,200 I just want to encourage someone not to give up the adversary is 828 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,800 going to. He's going to try and discourage 829 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,500 you any way that he can to just give up that. 830 00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:08,600 No matter what you do. You have gone too far, you have 831 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,100 done too much sin in your life. There is no sense in even 832 00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:14,700 repenting because it's not going to make any bit of difference. 833 00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:17,400 It doesn't matter what God did on Calvary. 834 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,300 It doesn't matter for the blood that was shed because you are 835 00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:23,800 not worthy of the Salvation that he is trying to give you. 836 00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:28,200 But just a little longer, You Are Not Alone. 837 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,700 No matter what the adversary tries to tell you, you are not 838 00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:36,100 alone. Your blessing is on its way. 839 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,500 If you hold on just a little longer like Jobe. 840 00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:42,000 Your blessing is on its way. It may not be financially. 841 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,100 It may not be what ever, you know? 842 00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:47,900 However, it is, it may be just a mental blessing, that's coming 843 00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:50,000 your way. It may be some relief in your 844 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,200 spirit. It may be a renewal of the Holy 845 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,500 Ghost and maybe just just something that nobody else is 846 00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:58,200 privy to. But your blessing is on its way 847 00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:02,300 Trust and Believe. Even the Lord that he has what 848 00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:04,800 you need.
