1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,280
All right, my Bible in 365, 
brothers and sisters, we have 

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,200
arrived at one of the most 
incredible letters that the 

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,800
apostle Paul ever wrote, and 
that is the book of Philippians.

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,280
Now, I can get into the history 
of it. 

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,720
I do that sometimes. 
I can get into everything that 

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,360
was going on in Philippi. 
I can talk about the characters 

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,120
involved. 
I can talk about some of the 

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,120
people, including some 
remarkable women, but here's the

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,640
deal. 
I'm just going to jump into what

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,360
I think is profoundly critical 
that we can gain from the book 

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120
of Philippians, and I'm going to
show you why it happens to be 

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,760
one of my favorite books in the 
Bible. 

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Let me just simply start by 
saying this has been a couple of

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,840
years of insanity. 
The Bible actually tells us that

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,440
in the last days, perilous times
will come. 

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800
And boy, are we in the midst of 
perilous times. 

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,920
Things seem to be overwhelming. 
Goodness seems to be on the 

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,040
rise. 
Evil is something that we see 

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,560
day in and day out. 
It's manifesting in ways we 

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,200
never thought possible. 
Look at some of the things that 

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,160
these people on podcasts are 
saying. 

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,320
Look at the insanity of of the 
communication that's being given

23
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:14,200
out. 
It's marked with evil, it's 

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,360
marked with wickedness, it's 
marked with satanic inspiration.

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:25,000
And there is lots of room for 
the average person to just get 

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,000
anxious. 
The Bible gives us a command 

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,160
here in Philippians. 
It's so much more critical. 

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800
It says this, be careful for 
nothing. 

29
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,560
In other words, what he says is 
don't let anything make you. 

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,680
Anxious. 
But in everything by prayer and 

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920
supplication. 
Notice this with Thanksgiving. 

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Let your requests be made known 
unto God. 

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,320
So this is what he says don't 
allow yourself to be anxious by 

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400
anything. 
Do not allow anxiety to creep in

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,600
on any circumstance. 
Well, that's much easier said 

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,480
than done. 
Well, you're right, but he tells

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,240
us how to do it. 
He says everything that happens 

38
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,600
you give to the Lord you ever 
thought of taking like you're 

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,160
just internal thought life you. 
Know you drive down the street. 

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,360
Oh. 
Man, that guy was crazy. 

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,280
Like what happens if you were to
say, Lord, that guy was crazy? 

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,200
I bet you change the way you 
thought about things. 

43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,800
But. 
What the Bible says is this. 

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
The Bible says it when you go 
and you begin to. 

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Feel the anxiety coming on you. 
Just pray you start. 

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,560
Praying and you. 
Start giving to the. 

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,200
Lord everything. 
That is making you. 

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,680
Anxious Lord. 
I'm struggling with this. 

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Lord, this is bothering me. 
Lord, this is this is so heavy, 

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,360
but here's what you do. 
Here's the key. 

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,680
While you're praying those 
things you go back to. 

52
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,560
The Lord and you say this, but 
God? 

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,480
Knowing that these things are 
so, I'm here to tell you, I'm 

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,920
thankful. 
I'm thankful for what you've 

55
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:55,120
done for me. 
I'm thankful for the fact that I

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,000
can be anywhere. 
I can be in the bathroom, I can 

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,560
be in my car, I can be anywhere.
And you are giving me your 

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,480
precious ears. 
You are listening to me, God. 

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,160
I'm thankful that you are the 
God of heaven. 

60
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,160
I'm thankful for the fact that 
you love me with an everlasting 

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,680
love and that will never change.
And. 

62
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,840
Look what it says when you do 
that, when you pray, when you 

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,720
make. 
Your supplications known to God 

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,520
and you're thankful about it. 
Look what it says and the peace.

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,680
Of God. 
Which passeth all understanding 

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,120
shall keep your hearts and 
minds. 

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Through Christ. 
Jesus, I love that. 

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,000
What it means is that the peace 
that God gives you will 

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,520
overwhelm. 
It will go past your critical 

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,680
thinking. 
It will go past your, your, and 

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,040
by the way, that's not a bad 
thing. 

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,000
It's it's not saying that God is
going to make you dumb and take 

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,640
away your ability to think 
critically. 

74
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,320
What it's saying is God's peace 
is going to, in a very 

75
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,320
supernatural way, allow you to 
not be affected by the critical 

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,400
thinking that happens, that 
causes you to analyze every 

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,600
terrible thing that could 
possibly take place. 

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,440
I'm that way. 
I look at things that happen all

79
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,320
the time. 
I'm like, well, what if this 

80
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,160
happened? 
What if that happened? 

81
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,400
I start beginning to analyze it 
and it just overwhelms me. 

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,360
And God says, don't do it. 
I'm going to give you my peace. 

83
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,480
You're not going to be 
overwhelmed by this at all. 

84
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Why? 
Because I'm going to hold you 

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,120
fast, near and dear to my heart.
It's going to keep your hearts 

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,640
and minds through Christ Jesus. 
Why? 

87
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,360
Because that's what Christ did. 
Look what he says here. 

88
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,160
Finally, my brethren, 
whatsoever. 

89
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,240
Things are. 
True whatsoever. 

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,760
Things are honest, but you 
should remember. 

91
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,720
Look, I. 
Have this. 

92
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,040
I know what's in the Greek. 
Is that important to me? 

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,800
Finally, brother, what does he 
say? 

94
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,400
Whatsoever things are true, 
whatsoever things are honest, 

95
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,080
whatsoever things are just, 
whatsoever things are pure, 

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,640
whatsoever things are lovely, 
whatsoever things are of good 

97
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,600
report. 
If there be any virtue, and if 

98
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,960
there be any praise, think on. 
These things think on the things

99
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,520
that are godly, think on the 
things that are good. 

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Look what he says in verse 9. 
And this is where I love. 

101
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:01,760
I love the. 
Ministry of Bible in 365. 

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,920
Look what it says. 
Those things which you have both

103
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,480
learned and received and heard 
and seen in me do, and the God 

104
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,440
of peace shall be with you. 
Do what the word of God says. 

105
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,680
You can't do what the word of 
God says if you don't know the 

106
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,200
word of God. 
And that is something that I 

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,200
love. 
You know the Word of God, you do

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,120
the word of God. 
And the Word of God will prove 

109
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,600
itself to be true because the 
God whose word you are learning,

110
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,880
the God of peace will be with 
you. 

111
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,280
The message is short and it's 
sweet. 

112
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,680
And Philippians does all kinds 
of other amazing things to teach

113
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,480
you not only the mind of Christ,
but the heart of God and where 

114
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,920
God goes when He. 
Chooses to bring. 

115
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,880
Us into the fold there's. 
So. 

116
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,880
Many things that we can learn 
from this book, it's precious, 

117
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,520
but let it be a reminder to you 
to serve the Lord, to seek him, 

118
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,880
to put Him first, and in all 
things give thanks and may God's

119
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,360
peace be upon you. 
God bless you guys.
