I'm going to tell you today. 20 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,200 I believe that while I'm sharing this word, God's going to 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,920 people's sins are going to be forgiven. 22 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,160 And while I'm sharing the Word, people's bodies going to be 23 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,600 healed. While I'm sharing the Word, 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,280 people's depression is going to be lifted. 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,800 While I'm sharing the Word, transformation is happening. 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,600 While I'm sharing the Word, deliverance is occurring while 27 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,720 I'm sharing the Word. Lives are shifting while I'm 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,840 sharing the Word. Bloodlines are being made new 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,400 while I'm sharing the Word today. 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,200 I believe while I'm sharing the Word, God's Kingdom will be in 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,440 manifest and be on the move. While I'm sharing the Word 32 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,880 today, addiction will be broken. While I'm sharing the Word 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,440 today, call will be realized and activated while I'm sharing 34 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,360 today. Closure will happen without 35 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,840 having to talk to nobody while I'm sharing the Word today. 36 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,720 While I'm sharing the Word today, pride will be lifted and 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,120 pride will be broken. While I'm sharing the Word 38 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,400 today, the glory of God shall be revealed. 39 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,040 While I'm sharing the Word today, I really believe that. 40 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,440 I really do. The Kingdom will be advanced 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,520 while I'm sharing the word today. 42 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:29,000 I want to talk about peace specifically before I get there. 43 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,440 Yeah, I was talking about peace. I'm just going to go there, talk 44 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,440 about peace. Hey, man, everyone say peace. 45 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,760 Now, now, now, now we've talking about the Lord of Hosts. 46 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,920 Everyone say Lord of Hosts, that's the year of the, this is 47 00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:49,320 the year of the host, OK. And it's specifically connecting 48 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,280 to the Lord of hosts. And I was impressed in my heart 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,440 and my spirit to talk about peace in connection with the 50 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,360 Lord of hosts. And so the title of my, of my 51 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240 sharing today of the word of God today that I'm sharing or the 52 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,680 message that I'm sharing is peace a key to stand in the year 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,760 of the host. Peace, a key to stand in the 54 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,240 year of the host. It is really important to 55 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,440 understand that what has gone before us is to equip us for 56 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,040 where we're in. OK. 57 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,840 Why is that important? Because if you don't know that, 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,880 you'll leave what has gone before behind and you'll miss 59 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,360 its importance for you. Where you are and how it's 60 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,840 supposed to move you forward makes sense. 61 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,160 The other thing about connecting what has been to what is 62 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,800 currently is to help you understand the process and the 63 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,080 way of God. Because things move in in cycles 64 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,080 or in rhythms of sorts, right? So when you see God begin to 65 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,520 talk about peace again, then maybe you can perceive, well, 66 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,880 then the Lord of hosts is going to demonstrate in a different 67 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,200 way after that, because peace is the key for walking in or for 68 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,120 letting the Lord of hosts demonstrate, manifest who He is. 69 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,000 Amen. Amen. 70 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,040 So I want to talk about the Lord of hosts. 71 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,920 The Lord of hosts is the God of the Angel armies, the Lord. 72 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,960 Of hosts is the God of Angel. Armies. 73 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640 The Lord of hosts is the God of Angel Armies, the Lord of hosts 74 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,120 is the King of glory. That's the Lord of hosts, the 75 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,480 Lord Sabbath, the Lord of hosts, and it's important to know who 76 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,240 he is. He is the What would that mean? 77 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,760 The Lord of Hosts is in this specific direction. 78 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,320 It means. I am the. 79 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,880 Lord, that's leading all of the hosts of heaven. 80 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Come on. All of the angels of heaven, all 81 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,440 of the Angel armies of heaven, all of the resources of heaven, 82 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,600 I am the Lord that's leading all of those. 83 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,640 I lead them into battle. I lead them into their work. 84 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:46,080 I lead them into exactly where they need to be doing and where 85 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520 they need to go. The Lord of hosts. 86 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,040 OK, but he's also the King of glory. 87 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,680 So when he's going into battle, there's a glory that comes. 88 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,480 What? What would be a picture of that 89 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,360 if you saw, for example, this, this horde of 10s of thousands 90 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,200 of, of, of soldiers coming descending upon an area and the 91 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,200 dust that kicked up as they would come say they are all 92 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,720 riding horses, OK. And the dust that kicks up as 93 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,760 they all ride horses into battle. 94 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,960 That's kind of the glory that accompanies the Lord of hosts. 95 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,680 He's the king of glory as well as the Lord of hosts. 96 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,880 What does that mean? It means that he's the Lord that 97 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,000 fights. He's the Lord that delivers. 98 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,080 He's the Lord that gathers. That's from Malachi. 99 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,400 You know when Malachi 3 we're talking about in the back, 100 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,040 Malachi 3, he says, prove me in this, says the Lord of hosts. 101 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,360 Prove me that if you tithe and give that I won't open the 102 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,160 windows of heaven, that there will be a blessing so large you 103 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,720 won't be able to contain it. Prove me, says the Lord of 104 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,720 hosts. He's the Lord that gathers and 105 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,880 the Lord that supervises. He's the Lord that enforces. 106 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,000 He shows up to make sure everything is in order, the way 107 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,320 it needs to be. The Lord of hosts, you know, and 108 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,040 policing that what they have, what they call force more 109 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,120 multipliers. Everyone that heard of that term 110 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,560 force multipliers, What does that mean? 111 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,840 I can have one thing that represents more than just that 112 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,320 thing. So for example, a police officer 113 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,120 on a horse represents, I don't remember the number, but 114 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,240 represents like 25 police officers on the ground. 115 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,120 There's something about a mounted officer, something about 116 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:35,280 an officer seated in a high and lifted up place that multiplies 117 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,360 their impact, in part because everyone can see and they can 118 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,800 see everyone. OK, force multiplier. 119 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,000 So the Lord of Hosts shows up and just comes in on the horse 120 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,600 and sometimes just stands there making sure things are stayed in 121 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,200 an order. It's the Lord enthroned on the 122 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,040 ark Elder Brett set me up. He sets me up a lot. 123 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,840 The elder Brett set me up from this morning is the Lord that 124 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,880 has enthroned on the ark. He was talking about the glory 125 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,360 and cherubim and those kind of things. 126 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800 The Ark of the Covenant, right? So the Lord of. 127 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,320 Hosts is the name. For the God or the character of 128 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,320 God, that's. On that, on that seat in the. 129 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,600 Ark OK, so you got the cherubim that's there. 130 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,680 OK, stop. Got the cherubim that's there. 131 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,560 The Lord of Hosts is the name for the God that's present 132 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,520 there. OK, He's the Lord enthroned on 133 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600 the Ark. This is who he is. 134 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,120 It's the ark that led people in the battle. 135 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,160 It's the ark that led them across stormy waters and stormy 136 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,600 rivers. It's the ark that went before 137 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960 them wherever they went. And armies 5th. 138 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,720 Just think about Raiders of the Lost Ark when they're talking 139 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,520 about the Lord, the Ark of the Covenant, right? 140 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,120 When the character says this, in the Raiders of the Lost Ark, 141 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,120 whoever possessed the Ark were invincible, for every army would 142 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,280 fall before them, right? That's what the Ark represented, 143 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000 that divine glory, the Lord of hosts. 144 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,560 And it's interesting that even in the imagery. 145 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,920 Of the Ark. And and the Lord of hosts being 146 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,560 present there, you see these angels, these cherubim. 147 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,120 Cherubim may not technically be angels, but you see these 148 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,760 angelic beings represent represented there. 149 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,000 So if the Lord of. Hosts. 150 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,160 Is the God of the Angel armies and the King of glory if the 151 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,360 Lord of hosts is the Lord that fights, the Lord that delivers, 152 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,120 the Lord that gathers, the Lord that enforces, and it's the Lord 153 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,840 enthroned on the ark if that is the Lord of hosts? 154 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,560 You have to ask yourself this. Or you maybe don't. 155 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:47,360 I would. Why does? 156 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,000 He. Come. 157 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,520 If that's who he is, why does he come? 158 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,480 Ask yourself that. Why does he come? 159 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,320 It's very important to understand. 160 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,920 You can be in church and we talk about the Word and the things of 161 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,800 God and it can seem like fairy tales to you and to me it can 162 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,000 seem like imaginations that surely, well we believe they 163 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,040 happened, but you know, it really is still more of a story 164 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:22,320 than it was a reality. You have to ask yourself what is 165 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,160 happening before, during and after the Lord of Hosts shows 166 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,280 up? Why do you need a warrior God to 167 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:38,160 be present? Why The reason a warrior shows 168 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,440 up? Because war has already broken 169 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,760 out. So when the Lord of Hosts shows 170 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,040 up, the environment is warfare. The environment can be chaos. 171 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,880 There's already an enemy who has demonstrated superiority. 172 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,960 The battle's already been raging. 173 00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,320 I would even go as far as to say this. 174 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,920 There is a question as to whether the battle will turn for 175 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:10,480 evil forever. The Lord of Hosts show comes 176 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,360 because of the evil, because of the battle, because of the 177 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,120 display of, of, of of just oppression that has occurred 178 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,640 before they come. What happens while the Lord of 179 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,120 Hosts is present? What do you think is happening? 180 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,520 There's fighting going on. There's battling happening. 181 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,960 Real battle. Not fake battle. 182 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,000 Real battle happening. And then what happens after the 183 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:52,280 Lord of hosts shows up? You have to ask yourself that. 184 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,920 At least I do, OK? You don't want to be pushy, 185 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,800 Church. You have to ask yourself that. 186 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:03,920 OK, so here's the picture. A battle has occurred before the 187 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,400 Lord of Hosts shows up. So what happens if someone was 188 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,160 to come and break out and attack a country? 189 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,920 What happens? Power grids go down, Water 190 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,040 becomes polluted, People become fearful. 191 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,920 Food becomes scarce. There could be fights over 192 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,000 resources and supplies. People begin to turn on each 193 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,440 other. Violence in the streets. 194 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Criminality begins to rise. That's all that's happening. 195 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,400 Before it comes fear. It's filling people's hearts, 196 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,040 and so refugees are trying to find a place to go, not knowing 197 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,880 where to go. People are defending their 198 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120 borders. You can't come in here because 199 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,680 we can't keep you and can't help you, and we don't want your war 200 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,360 spilling over into our territory. 201 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,000 There's anxiety and there's angst. 202 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,840 There's potentially hopelessness coming up. 203 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,960 That's what's happening before the Lord of hosts shows up. 204 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,120 So then the Lord of hosts shows up and then what happens? 205 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,400 The God of the Angel armies happens. 206 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,360 Then there's a battle that breaks out. 207 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,600 So you have conflict between two forces, you have warfare, 208 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,840 conflict between two forces. OK, you have the sound of 209 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:19,600 conflict, you have the cost of conflict, and you have the smell 210 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,200 of conflict. You know, a lot of soldiers will 211 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,920 tell you this. People come back from war. 212 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,640 I have not been in the war physically, but I I've heard 213 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:35,960 this said in different times. Coming back from war, you can 214 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:42,360 forget what you saw many times you can forget what you heard. 215 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:50,120 But it's almost impossible to forget the smell, the smell of 216 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:58,600 death. It's hard to forget that, well, 217 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,760 that's happening when the Lord of Hosts shows up. 218 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,840 Like for real? For real, though, there's a 219 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,760 smell that's present. Amen. 220 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,240 And then what happens after the Lord of Hosts shows up? 221 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,200 So here's an example of the Lord of Hosts showing up right in the 222 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,920 Old Testament. I says that God told the people, 223 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,360 y'all hang back here, I'm going to go out in front of you. 224 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,680 And after I go out in front of you, then y'all come. 225 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,360 People said OK, so God went out front. 226 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,400 People said OK. And then when they showed up, 227 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,120 the enemy had had self slaughter that killed themselves. 228 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,200 So what happens after the Lord of hosts shows up? 229 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,600 Anyone. They're dead bodies every place. 230 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,680 Now you got to deal with burying the dead. 231 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,120 You got to deal with sanitation. You got to deal with potential 232 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,920 retaliation from the folks that have died, from people who know 233 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,560 those people that have died. There's a lot of clean up that 234 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:01,720 has to happen. Infrastructure has been 235 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,440 destroyed in the battle, right? There's trash, there's garbage, 236 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,280 all of that. That's after the Lord of hosts 237 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,120 shows up. So it's great we want the Lord 238 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,960 of hosts showing up. But I understand the context of 239 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,840 what that means. Now I know we may say this, and 240 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,000 I do believe this with with with all my heart. 241 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,680 Well, well, EJ, the Lord of hosts showed up in the Old 242 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Testament. That was literal battle. 243 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,480 We are in the Kingdom of God. We're under grace. 244 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,320 We're with Jesus now, and it doesn't mean literal battle, OK? 245 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,800 There is a space where, yes, it applies spiritually more than 246 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,240 naturally because our enemies are not flesh and blood. 247 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:50,400 We understand that OK, But also do understand though that we may 248 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:57,720 see more of it be literal than you think and God is trying to 249 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,040 prepare his people for a literal showing up. 250 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,440 Is Jesus going to literally show up? 251 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,440 If you read the Book of Revelation, which you should, 252 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,440 Why not because you need to understand it. 253 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,720 Hopefully you do. But one of the first chapters 254 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,160 that says this, blessed are they that read the book, get a 255 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,800 blessing, read the book. Easiest blessing you ever got. 256 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,000 I used to teach at Douglas College and I tell students to 257 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,240 bring a name tag. I said I would give you points 258 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,600 for your name tag on the desk all the time. 259 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,320 OK. And he said, man, why I got to 260 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480 bring a name tag? I said what you mean That's the 261 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,240 easiest point you'll get in my class. 262 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,360 Bring the name tag, get the points. 263 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:39,520 It ain't got to be that deep. OK, Read Revelation. 264 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,680 You get a blessing for reading it, not for understanding. 265 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,200 Blessed are they to read this book. 266 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,120 Not that they understand the book, right? 267 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,480 Anyway, in Revelation talks about battles and fights and 268 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,560 Armageddon and enemies coming down. 269 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,840 You think that's just spiritual? You think that's going to 270 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,920 actually happen? Spoiler alert, it's going to 271 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,880 actually happen, right? God is preparing His people. 272 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,960 We have lived in a very merciful time in which many times we have 273 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,960 not experienced those things. Canada, and North America in 274 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,840 particular, has not experienced land on its soil since the 275 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:27,640 1800s. Other nations may have, but 276 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,520 Canada hasn't. So for us, it's almost like, 277 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,240 yeah, I know that's war, but it almost becomes like something 278 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,240 you watch on TV kind of, you know what I'm saying? 279 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,520 It's kind of like a story. It's not like I got to go 280 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,160 outside today and wonder where the bomb going to drop and 281 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,080 explode in front of me, right when I hear the bomb sirens, I'm 282 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,960 looking for Is it in the area of the school where my kids go? 283 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,960 Does that make sense? And please, Canada, do not 284 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,760 believe that because you're Canada that and because we're 285 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,400 Canada that we're going to be kept from some of the struggles 286 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,680 and challenges that the world is facing. 287 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:08,880 God cannot be God of the earth. If Canada was exempt because 288 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,319 then Canada would think it's because of our own might and our 289 00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:17,200 own systems and our own abouts and our own, you know, that, 290 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,160 that, that we did all of this right? 291 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,599 The, the, the Bible says that the government should be on 292 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,880 Jesus shoulders, correct? That means every government has 293 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,320 to be shown to fail. Every government has to be shown 294 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,240 to be inferior to the government of Jesus. 295 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,240 Everyone you ask Canada, everybody there has to be a 296 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,320 demonstrated failing of every government. 297 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,800 So some of the things people are talking about people will be 298 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,200 experiencing here in Canada too. So God is preparing. 299 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,640 The Lord of hosts comes because yes, there are spiritual battles 300 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,960 to be had, but he also comes, yes, because there are physical 301 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,440 battles to be had as well. So the question is this, are you 302 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:07,480 in or are you out? That's the question we talked 303 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,480 about last time, peace being a government. 304 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,400 So peace is not a feeling. It's really kind of a it's it's 305 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,840 a government, It's a reality. OK, So if peace is a government, 306 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,280 that means you can enter into it. 307 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,160 Like I cross the border from the US into BC, I enter into the 308 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,200 government of BC. But I enter. 309 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,760 Into the government, right? When you go from here into 310 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,280 Vancouver, you enter in. Welcome to Vancouver, Vancouver, 311 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,480 anyway. Vancouver, Vancouver. 312 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,960 Welcome to Vancouver. One more to get out of my 313 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,240 system. Welcome to Vancouver anyway. 314 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,800 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, when you enter into 315 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,840 Vancouver. You're into a different 316 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,120 government, right? So when you say change of gut, 317 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:54,720 you entered into a reality, a space and a place, right? 318 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,560 So if peace is a government, then peace is a, is a, is a, 319 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,400 it's a person in Jesus, of course, but it's also like a 320 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,640 space, a place. So the question is this, when 321 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,360 the circumstances that call for the Lord of hosts show up, are 322 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,000 you going to be in him? Are you going to be out of him? 323 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,720 Are you in or are you out? Are you in peace or you're out 324 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,840 of peace? Noah had to make that decision 325 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,440 in the ark or out the ark. Rahab had to make that decision. 326 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,120 That's the prostitute that was on the wall. 327 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,800 And he said, listen, we know you. 328 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,680 We know God has given our city into your hands. 329 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,720 People of God, all I'm asking you, spare me and my family. 330 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,520 And he said, listen, here's a red string. 331 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280 Put it on your window so we know what you want to to spare. 332 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,720 Whoever in your house gets saved. 333 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,720 If they're not, it ain't on us. So if they want them to protect 334 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,000 it, it's on you to make sure that they're in because either 335 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,280 in or they're out. The virgins from the New 336 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,800 Testament right with the with the oil. 337 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,680 While the master came, some were going away to get more oil. 338 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,080 The ones that had the oil went in. 339 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,840 They were in either in or you're out. 340 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,640 The bridegrooms invitation. He invited them to come and some 341 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,400 folk didn't. Apart from the virgins, the all 342 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,280 these stories in the Bible or parables in the Bible, are you 343 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,720 going to be in or you're out? Where are you? 344 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,240 Are you in or you're out? There's no middle ground. 345 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,720 You're the in or you're out. OK, Are you looking up or 346 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,880 looking back? Because you can be in but still 347 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,760 be out. Quick story. 348 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,320 This young man throwing a tantrum. 349 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,520 Mama said sit down. After the Mama told him several 350 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,680 times, the young man finally sat down. 351 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,920 But he looked at his mom and said mom may be sitting down. 352 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,640 But on the. Inside I'm still standing up, 353 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,400 Mama, So you can be in and still be out. 354 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,440 You can be in the house but not rooted in the house. 355 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,160 You can be in a marriage but still be. 356 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,080 After marriage you can be in a. Relationship and still be out. 357 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,080 The question is, so are you looking up or looking back? 358 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,040 If you're inside physically but your mind is on the other side 359 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,600 of town, your mind is looking backwards, then you are not 360 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,600 effectively availing yourself of all that's provided by being in. 361 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,800 Adam look back at Eve, forgot God. 362 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,680 Eve look back at the fruit, forgot God. 363 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,600 Moses look back. God said I destroy all the 364 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,320 people, start over again with you. 365 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:38,440 Moses looked back and said God, but the folks in Egypt not going 366 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,960 to. What's that going to look like 367 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,800 to them? You don't look like a fool in 368 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,360 Egypt. Moses looking back, not looking 369 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:48,160 up towards God. Lot's wife look back, pillar 370 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,760 salt, the plowman. Jesus says the plowman that 371 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,760 starts to plow and looks back ain't worthy of me, the 372 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,720 businessman, The parable says, I want to follow you, but let me 373 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,440 try my real estate. Let me try my business. 374 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,920 Let me try my oxen first. Go ahead. 375 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,720 But you ain't fit if you're going to be looking back. 376 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,600 The newly married, I just got married. 377 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,840 Jesus cannot deal with my my honeymoon my my honeymoon. 378 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,400 What's up? What's up? 379 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,400 Moon, Moon, Moon work. Lips work. 380 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,880 Anyway, my honeymoon, right? The Ephesians church in 381 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:25,160 Revelation, right? You've forgotten your first 382 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:25,800 love. You're looking. 383 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,920 You're looking to other things. You're not looking up at your 384 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,080 first love. Are you in or you're out? 385 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,760 Everyone say peace. This is about peace. 386 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,640 Your peace follows your vision and your confession. 387 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,200 Your peace follows your vision and your confession. 388 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,400 The Bible says this, that if you keep your eyes focused on Jesus, 389 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,720 He'll keep you in perfect peace. If your eyes and your mind has 390 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,000 stayed on him. Shout out Sonia Blakey, trust in 391 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,080 the Lord Jehovah. Anyway, that's another one. 392 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,120 Your peace follows your vision and your confession. 393 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,880 What you see and what you say, OK, your confession doesn't 394 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,560 follow your peace. Why do I say confession rather 395 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,920 than statement? Confession is something that we 396 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,800 are saying consistently. The King James, everyone say 397 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,800 King James say sometimes they really get it right. 398 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,880 And the King James, it doesn't talk about a confession of 399 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,200 faith, it talks about a professional faith, Say 400 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,720 profession. Now profession means what, what, 401 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,840 what's profession Suggest I do this. 402 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,760 That means that mean I go 8 hours a day. 403 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,920 If I'm a professional basketball player, that means I'm doing 404 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,600 this. All the time, in season out of 405 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,480 season, I'm doing this. All the time, 12 months a year, 406 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,840 constantly, consistently. When they say my name, they say 407 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,320 professional player John. Like a Hall of Famer. 408 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,320 Hall of Famer John I. Like that, OK. 409 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,520 The idea of profession means I'm doing it consistently. 410 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,960 Your piece follows your vision and your confession. 411 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,520 What you consistently say regularly. 412 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080 Now you the great thing about a confession, you don't need a 413 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,440 priest and you don't need like a little, a little shade to have 414 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,800 confession all the time. You can just say what God says 415 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,560 about you wherever you go, wherever you are, you can do 416 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,600 that period. That's what it means to the 417 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,320 confession I'm talking about. I am the righteousness of God in 418 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,720 Christ Jesus. I can say to any place, 419 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,400 anywhere, anytime. And how regularly I say that 420 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,080 impacts how much that comes. So your peace will follow your 421 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,560 vision and your confession. OK everyone say Amen. 422 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,640 Now to the meat. Now I want to talk about a verse 423 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,240 of scripture that helps you understand this. 424 00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:00,840 Why is your peace so important? Because your peace is what's 425 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,880 going to keep you when the Lord of hosts is present. 426 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,320 Noah had to go into an ark knowing all of his family and 427 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,360 friends were going to be destroyed. 428 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,280 The God did him a favor. It says God closed the door. 429 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,840 I can only imagine if Noah had to close that door himself. 430 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,000 I got him closing the door. And all the people that I know 431 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,760 and my cousins and my relatives, my aunts, my nephews, the kids. 432 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,320 I've said this and I've thought about this sometimes. 433 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,240 What was the sound when Noah, when the rains came, the 434 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:41,480 screaming, the wailing, the drowning, the animals being 435 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,080 swallowed up whole, the noise of all of that, right? 436 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,480 Noah had to have peace to be able to let that door close and 437 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080 know that God got it and move forward. 438 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,000 Because if Noah moves forward thinking about that what 439 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000 happened, he's not going to be able to do what God needs him to 440 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,640 do when the when the Lord of hosts shows up. 441 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,680 You need a peace that allows you to deal with the fact dead 442 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,960 bodies every place and not be overly traumatized. 443 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,680 You need a peace that deals with the fact you hear war raging all 444 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,600 around you and not be scared or be afraid. 445 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,760 You need, you need peace to be able to be so anchored and what 446 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,040 God's telling you that you're not at the window looking out at 447 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,040 what's happening. Look it out at the fighting and 448 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,800 the battle and the things. OK? 449 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,680 You need a peace. Now, some people think this kind 450 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,160 of peace is I, I don't care. No, it doesn't mean I don't 451 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,320 care. It means I just decided to cast 452 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,040 my cares and be anchored in the Lord. 453 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,800 See, this is the peace Jesus had when he walked past the man at 454 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,840 the beautiful gate. He was there 38 years, just 455 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,800 walked past them all the time. This is the peace that Jesus had 456 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,160 when he said to the woman, it's not good for me to give the 457 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,720 children's bread to the dogs. This is the peace that Jesus had 458 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,680 when he was in the boat and the storms were raging. 459 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,960 You need a peace that surpasses all understanding. 460 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,280 When the Lord of hosts shows up. You know what survivor's guilt 461 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,000 is in war. Have you heard about survivor's 462 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,840 guilt? People in battle, This guy's 463 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,040 head gets blown up. His brains get splattered on to 464 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,080 the person that's here. This person makes it out. 465 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,640 They're like, why me? Not Even so much? 466 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,760 Thank God me. You almost feel guilty saying, 467 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,600 God, thank you for getting me out when you people that you 468 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,600 knew, and some people will say this, people that were even 469 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,720 better people than me, why me? You need peace not to be given 470 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,400 over to survivor's guilt. You know God is going to have to 471 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,640 have a peace when judgment comes and those who've aligned 472 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,720 themselves with with Satan find themselves in eternal torment in 473 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,640 hell. There's a real heaven and 474 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,080 there's a real hell. It's not meant to scare. 475 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,880 It's just the truth. But I'm going to tell you this 476 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,880 also. Hell is never meant for people, 477 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,280 ever. Hell's never ever meant for 478 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,360 people. It was only meant for rebellious 479 00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,720 angels. Well then why do people go 480 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,000 there? Not because God sends them, but 481 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,120 because they choose to follow the rebellious Angel more than 482 00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:20,920 they choose to follow God. And the and the and this, this 483 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,640 is the gospel of the rebellious Angel. 484 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,040 Ready. Yolo. 485 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,320 You only live once, man. Make it. 486 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,520 Do what it do. Eat, drink and be merry. 487 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,120 Live it up. Whatever your eyes see to do, 488 00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:33,680 grab it. Whatever you feel, feels the 489 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,760 Duke, do it. Forget about tomorrow. 490 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,800 It's only about today. That's the gospel of them 491 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,760 angels, man. Get that money. 492 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,000 Grind, grind, grind. You run You. 493 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,120 Ain't nobody. The boss of you. 494 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,240 Can't nobody judge you. You run you. 495 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,400 That's the gospel of those fallen angels. 496 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,240 People choose to believe that gospel versus the one that Jesus 497 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,640 says. All of that sin, I've paid the 498 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,440 price for it. I've given my life for it. 499 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,480 Sin is no longer a problem in the earth. 500 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,920 Technically, sin really never was a problem before sin entered 501 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,560 the earth. No one knew sin. 502 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,080 When sin into the earth, God had already provided A sacrifice for 503 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,800 it. The Bible says that Jesus was 504 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,080 the Lamb of God, slain before the foundations of the world. 505 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,480 Sin was never going to be a real problem. 506 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,160 God had already had plans to deal with it. 507 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,400 The issue is whether you choose his solution or not. 508 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,360 It's like the highway officer saying, listen, a bridge is 509 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,880 washed out a little bit ahead, but there's another Rd. you can 510 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,840 take. We got officers along the way. 511 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,240 It'll get you to safety. Listen, I want to take the road 512 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,360 where the bridge is. It was your unwillingness to 513 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,880 take the provision that was provided that causes the issue. 514 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,920 That's what hell is for, those angels and those that choose to 515 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,040 follow their gospel more than the sacrifice and the free 516 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,680 provision of God. I'd rather pay for it myself 517 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,760 than just ride in on the grace of God that's provided for me. 518 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,120 It's going to take peace for God to see those people that He made 519 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,800 that He loves. It's been a life eternally in 520 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,760 torment. It's going to take peace to be 521 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,120 in heaven and with you and not the whole time thinking about 522 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,320 those that didn't make it. It's going to take peace for you 523 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920 to be in heaven, not thinking about those that didn't make it 524 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,720 when the Lord of hosts shows up because of what he's showing up 525 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,080 to do, to fight, to battle, to destroy the set right you. 526 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,600 Got to have. Peace. 527 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,640 Otherwise you may be tempted to begin to enter in emotionally on 528 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,760 other ways, into trauma and things that are not for you. 529 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,440 You get into guilt and other things so that peace is 530 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,200 important. That's why God gives us Psalm 531 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,000 91. It says He who dwells in the 532 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,880 secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of 533 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,240 the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my 534 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,960 refuge and my fortress. My God and Him all I trust. 535 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,920 Remember your peace follows your confession. 536 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:34,560 He is my refuge and my fortress. My God and whom I trust. 537 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,720 How do I enter into the peace of God that's needed when the Lord 538 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,640 of hosts is doing Lord of hosts things? 539 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,480 You are my refuge. You are my fortress. 540 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,160 You my God and I trust in you. I dwell in the secret place of 541 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,040 the Most High. I abide under the shadow of the 542 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,600 Almighty. I say continually, Lord, you are 543 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,920 my refuge and you are my fortress. 544 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,440 You are my God and I will find trust and lean in you. 545 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,440 Your peace follows your confession. 546 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,280 Psalm 9134 says this. Surely He shall deliver you from 547 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,920 the snare of the Fowler. So have peace. 548 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,040 Stop worrying about Fowler things. 549 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,920 Stop following the Fowler IG page trying to figure out what 550 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:26,240 the Fowler's doing. He would keep you from 551 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,600 delivering you from the perilous pestilence. 552 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,040 I know this disease running through the streets. 553 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,080 But don't be so focused on that. Focus on the fact that you are 554 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,000 my refuge. You are my fortress. 555 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,520 You are my God, and I will trust in you. 556 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,800 He shall cover you with his feathers, that's his flame of 557 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,040 fire. He shall hover over you with his 558 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,120 glory, and under his wings He shall take refuge. 559 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,600 For you are my refuge, and you are my fortress, and you are my 560 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,560 God. And in you all I trust his truth 561 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,640 shall be your shield and shall be your buckler. 562 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,560 Shall be that what you fight with and that which guards you. 563 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,360 And to gird you. How are you? 564 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,160 Let me ask you this. How will that happen? 565 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,320 You are my refuge. You are my fortress. 566 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,440 You are my God, and I trust in you. 567 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,360 I'm hidden in Him. You know, this is where the 568 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,440 three Hebrew boys were in the Old Testament. 569 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,040 Somehow when they when they put them in the fire, they went to a 570 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,600 new dimension. They went from the fire in the 571 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,440 world to the peace in God. That's why they could be 572 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,680 surrounded and not smell and not smoke and not be destroyed 573 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,960 because they were literally hidden in a whole nother place. 574 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,960 Verse 5 says this. You shall not be afraid of the 575 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,960 terror by night. Have peace. 576 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:58,160 For you and the refuge of the Most High God, He's your 577 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,840 fortress. Maintaining that peace means the 578 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,400 terror at night. You don't have to be concerned 579 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,480 about it. This is key. 580 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,480 You can be there, but if your mind is. 581 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,679 But what about all of those out there? 582 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,800 Then you are effectively drawing yourself out there outside of 583 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,000 the protection of this very refuge that God has given you. 584 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,480 And eventually either you will look back or go back or turn 585 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,080 back. Why? 586 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,960 Because your vision, a piece follows your vision. 587 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,679 And if your vision is back, that's where you going to go. 588 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,440 Ask anybody that drives, what did he tell you? 589 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,239 Don't look at the car, look at the road. 590 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,920 Look at where you're going. Where you're going. 591 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,520 Where you look is where you're going to drive. 592 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,920 That's why new drivers like this, they're like, OK, I'm just 593 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,239 learning how to drive. They're talking and they're 594 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,159 trying to be like like mature drivers, right? 595 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,360 They're trying to talk, you know, they they barely got like 596 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,120 a what? What's before What's what's L 597 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,239 What's before the letter L? No, what? 598 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:57,320 The letter L, the alphabet. MHIKK right. 599 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,560 They ain't got AK, they ain't got the L yet. 600 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,240 They own K, OK, but they trying to, but they're trying to like 601 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,040 drive and talk at the same time. And they start talking to their 602 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,400 friend and they go like, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all. 603 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,280 And the car starts turning wide because their vision turns. 604 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,560 Eventually what you're looking at, you'll be drawn to. 605 00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:18,040 That's the way he says. Don't be afraid to tear by 606 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,240 night, nor the air of the flies by day, nor the pestilence that 607 00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:25,200 walks in the darkness, nor the destruction that lays wasted 608 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,680 noonday. You're in the refuge. 609 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:32,280 We think about the Passover and we talk about the blood, those 610 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,360 people in those houses when people were dying. 611 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,440 And the screams and the agony and the anguish. 612 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,400 But I have peace. I'm not ignoring that. 613 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,760 But His peace is keeping me. I need his peace. 614 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,840 So when the Lord of Hosts does Lord of Hosts things, I can let 615 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,400 him do the Lord of Hosts things. I can let him bring separation 616 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,840 between me and the family member that's trying to bring me down. 617 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,320 Between me and the dream I had for my life before I ever got to 618 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,640 know him. And it's something different 619 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:12,880 now. 1000 may fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand. 620 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,200 But it shall not come near you. And only with your eyes shall 621 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,120 you look and see the reward of the wicked. 622 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,840 I'll say it's only with your eyes shall you glance. 623 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,360 Oh man, a shame 1000 may fall at your side. 624 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:31,200 You know what kind of piece it takes to have 1000 people dying 625 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,120 at your side and they have 10,000 folks falling at your 626 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,880 right hand. You know the peace it takes. 627 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,000 Now that's what I'm talking about. 628 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,520 They either this is true or it's not. 629 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,000 Now we can talk about hyperbole and allegory. 630 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,680 At that time they didn't have nothing. 631 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,520 They can drop 10,000 folk at one time except the Lord of Hosts. 632 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,680 Lord of hosts could drop a drop a nation at once. 633 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,560 Now that's only half a bomb dropped 10,000 people at one 634 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,680 time. What? 635 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,640 Peace do you have? Are you anchored? 636 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,080 You are my refuge. You are my fortress. 637 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:09,640 You are my God, and I'll trust in you because you have made the 638 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,120 Lord who is my refuge. Even the Most High, your 639 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,840 dwelling place, No evil shall befall. 640 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,840 You know any plague shall come near your tent or your dwelling. 641 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,840 That means your physical dwelling as well as where you 642 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,240 dwell. Why? 643 00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,440 Because you can't dwell in two places at one time. 644 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,960 What did verse one talk about? He who? 645 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,800 What dwells in the secret place? That means you go in there and 646 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,880 don't come. That's where you live. 647 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,160 That's where you buy, you dwell, you live there. 648 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,520 No plague. Come near your dweller, if he 649 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,360 shall give his angels, here's the God of the Angel army 650 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,720 showing up. He shall give his angels charge 651 00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:52,760 over you to keep you in all your ways in their hands. 652 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,200 So they in their hands, they should bury you up so you don't 653 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,480 dash your foot. You should tread upon the lion 654 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,360 and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent. 655 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,160 You should trample under foot. That has representations of 656 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,880 Satan in the Bible. 1 He goes about as a roaring lion and we 657 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,320 already know the serpent reference. 658 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:17,040 You're going to tread, you're going to walk on those things if 659 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,280 you have this peace, see, this is the peace that's needed for 660 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,640 when the Lord of hosts come to the Lord of hosts things. 661 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,320 Lord of Hosts is not Santa Claus. 662 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,200 Lord of Hosts is coming to fight real battles, coming to wage 663 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,240 real war in the spirit realm and as need be in the natural realm. 664 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:40,600 The Lord of Hosts is showing up because he has said it's ready, 665 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,800 because he has said it's love upon me. 666 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,480 What you see where your vision is, my vision is on the love of 667 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,120 God because he's, he's looking to me because he's putting his 668 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,480 love upon me. Therefore I might deliver him. 669 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,080 No, Therefore I will deliver him. 670 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,120 I will set him on high. Don't move. 671 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,680 Stay in peace. Because he has known my name. 672 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,160 He shall call upon me and I will answer him. 673 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,400 I will be with him in trouble. It doesn't say I will make 674 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,440 trouble disappear, but I will be with him in trouble. 675 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,920 This peace is for you. So as trouble is stirred because 676 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,000 the Lord of Hosts is showing up, you don't have to be concerned 677 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,480 about being free from trouble. You want trouble to be in your 678 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,600 atmosphere. Why? 679 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,800 Because when he's on the side of the Lord of Hosts, he's coming 680 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,680 to trouble that was trying to trouble you. 681 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,000 Because he says love upon me. Therefore I will deliver him. 682 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,720 I will set him on high because he has known my name. 683 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,600 He should call upon me and I will answer, and I will be with 684 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,520 him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor 685 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,960 Him, and with long life I will satisfy him. 686 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:10,600 Long life is not this. To your 100 now, if that's all 687 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,960 you got, bless God, keep going and every step you take, expect 688 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,600 more of God's strength to come into you. 689 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,120 But the long life he's talking about is the life like Moses. 690 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,240 He's 120 years old. The Bible says his eyes did not 691 00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,400 grow dim and his strength did not fail. 692 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,720 When it was time for him to depart, he climbed one of the 693 00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:29,800 highest mountains in all of Jerusalem and God gave him a 694 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,640 view of the promised land from there. 695 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:37,720 That is long life. And show him my salvation. 696 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,920 Wholeness in every area and every way. 697 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:46,920 So the AMPC says it this way, verse 14, because He has set His 698 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,040 love upon me, therefore I will deliver Him. 699 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:57,240 I will set Him on high, because He knows and understands My 700 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,040 name. That's why it's important to 701 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,840 know who the Lord of hosts is. It's one of the names. 702 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:10,200 He has a personal knowledge of My mercy and of my love and 703 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,960 kindness. He trusts and relies on me 704 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,720 knowing I will never. Forsake him? 705 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,360 No. And if you didn't hear it? 706 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:29,480 Never. I will never forsake him. 707 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,360 This is the place of peace. God is saying need for when the 708 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,280 Lord of hosts is showing up. Why? 709 00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:39,680 Because when he's showing up, it's because the context needs 710 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,960 him to show up and there's anxiety all around. 711 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,000 But when you are this place in this atmosphere that you're 712 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,080 ready for the Lord of hosts to show up and do Lord of hosts 713 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,760 things, and then after he finishes you ready to end peace, 714 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,160 move forward. Whatever God's called you to do 715 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,720 without remorse and without regret, without looking back, 716 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,240 That's what God's preparing us for. 717 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,960 So peace is the key to the Lord of Hosts showing up so you can 718 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,920 be able to withstand what He's come to do. 719 00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:17,000 Now that's good news because Psalm 91 isn't a warfare Psalm, 720 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,720 it's a peace Psalm. Just stand here. 721 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:20,440 I'm going to tell you everything you're going to miss out on. 722 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,400 Why? Because you're going to be in 723 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,640 such peace. You're not going to really know 724 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,000 it anyway. Something's going to tell you 725 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,280 right now. So that way you don't have to 726 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,520 pay attention to it, OK? Just stay in peace. 727 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,120 And so so at this point, I want us to respond to the word of 728 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,600 God, and I want us to respond with prayer. 729 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,680 OK, now you can, you can stand. You can say this up to you. 730 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,560 I want us to pray.
