00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,400
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith. 

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,800
Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:23,700
Now enjoyed this message. 
We're talking out of Jude 

4
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:28,400
correct. 
And in Jude, he began to talk 

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,200
about what things were going to 
begin to look like in the last 

6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,900
days, right? 
and in that, we recognize that 

7
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:42,700
Jude told us here in verse 20, 
I'm just going to jump right on 

8
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:47,100
into the word it says here in 
verse 20, but you beloved 

9
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:51,900
building yourselves up on your 
Most Holy Faith, praying in the 

10
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:58,700
Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in 
the love of God, looking for the

11
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:04,500
mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ 
until eternal life and some Have

12
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:09,200
compassion making a difference 
and others save with fear. 

13
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,700
Pulling them out of the fire 
hating, even the Garment spotted

14
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:18,500
with flesh or spotted by the 
flesh. 

15
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:25,700
Now unto him who is able to keep
you from falling and to present 

16
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:29,600
you faultless before the 
presence of his glory, with 

17
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,200
exceeding Joy to the Y to the 
only wise God, our savior 

18
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:39,600
Saviour be glory and Majesty 
dominion and power both now and 

19
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,800
forever. 
So it's him. 

20
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,900
Who is able to keep us from 
falling? 

21
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:49,800
Why is this important? 
Because we know in Jude, we 

22
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,600
talked about last week that what
triggered this whole thought 

23
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,100
process of ministering out of 
this scripture was when Pastor 

24
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:05,100
was ministering a few weeks ago 
and he said that the Will says 

25
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:10,500
that in the last days, it will 
be like the days of what Noah. 

26
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:16,900
The days of Noah and why is this
important that we recognize, 

27
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:20,800
what was going on in the days of
Noah? 

28
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,500
Because that's the signs of the 
times. 

29
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,900
You see that, okay? 
In, this was founded Matthew, 

30
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:33,400
right? 
And not only in Matthew, we 

31
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,400
looked at and talked about and 
speaking of the last days that 

32
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,500
in second, Timothy, he begins to
talk to us. 

33
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,200
About what it's going to look 
like what people are going to be

34
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,300
like right haters of God, 
selfish selfish ambition, you 

35
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:55,300
know all kinds of lists of 
things. 

36
00:02:55,300 --> 00:03:01,500
So that when we are walking 
around in our daily lives among 

37
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:08,100
people, we recognize that people
are going to look like this. 

38
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:13,700
They're going to act like this 
Jude talks about, they will mock

39
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:18,400
you and scoff. 
You, you know, he lets us know 

40
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:22,400
what we can expect. 
And I love that about God is 

41
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,100
that he never would have left us
here. 

42
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:30,800
Unaware of what was going to be 
happening, what was going to be 

43
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,500
taking place in the times 
towards the last days? 

44
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,500
Why does he not want us unaware?
Because he doesn't Let us to 

45
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:44,100
fall into because we know we've 
talked about other scriptures 

46
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,500
that talk about in the last days
that many are going to fall away

47
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:53,800
from the faith, this is talking 
about Believers and I'm going to

48
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,900
tell you now, being in the 
church for 31 years and I know 

49
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:02,600
there's been other people here 
longer that's probably been in 

50
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,200
the church but I've been in the 
church. 31 years now serving 

51
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,700
him. nine years in the church 
and I'm going to tell you, I am 

52
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:18,000
seeing on a rampid level 
especially because now we are 

53
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,200
involved with other pastors 
Across the Nation and around the

54
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,800
world on an epidemic level of 
Christians that were once in the

55
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,800
church for 30 years, falling 
away and saying they don't even 

56
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,200
believe God anymore and are 
living completely opposite 

57
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:44,200
lifestyles on Epidemic level. 
This is happening today. 

58
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,100
And I could name them one after 
one after one, we see in our 

59
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:56,000
society, the culture and what it
looks like. 

60
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,500
And what's happening, even just 
this past few weeks, right? 

61
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,900
With what was going on with Roe 
versus Wade, you know, you can 

62
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,200
drive down A1A now and see a 
beautiful painting of do 

63
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,400
graffiti about, you know, we 
don't want laws that have 

64
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400
anything to do with. 
Body, our choice, all these 

65
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,400
things, you know. 
So all these things are 

66
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,300
clashing, we are having culture 
clashes, right? 

67
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:30,100
We see people straight up 
hating. 

68
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:34,500
God hating law. 
He says, in the last day that we

69
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,700
there's going to be lawlessness.
Nobody wants laws and less. 

70
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:43,000
It can help them because the 
same people that are talking and

71
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,600
screaming about my body, my 
choice. 

72
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,500
Are the very ones that would 
want law against someone that 

73
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:53,800
would rape them? 
Right. 

74
00:05:56,300 --> 00:06:02,200
Come on. 
So we see the insanity happening

75
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,800
on an epidemic level right now 
before our eyes. 

76
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:12,600
He lets us know that they're 
going to be haters of God, 

77
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,200
haters of God, you have people 
that will walk up into the 

78
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:25,400
houses of worship with a firearm
and have no fear of God. 

79
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,600
Have no moral compass. 
To walk in and shoot up people. 

80
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,200
You see people walk in churches 
today, as I said, a huge church 

81
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,900
just happened. 
Last couple of maybe last month,

82
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,700
took off their clothes started 
screaming as the, pastor is 

83
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,600
preaching, with red marks on 
there. 

84
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,900
You know, you've seen it guys, 
no, fear of God. 

85
00:06:55,300 --> 00:07:03,600
Mocking God, mocking the church 
and we kind of think that this 

86
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,900
is just really just a political 
it has nothing to do with the 

87
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:14,400
political agendas. 
It has to do with an antichrist 

88
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:23,000
spirit. 
An antichrist Spirit, period, 

89
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,700
they are completely turning, you
know, what is evil thinking, 

90
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,800
that it could be good and what 
is good now is evil, you see 

91
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,400
it's completely opposite and so 
he lets us know that in this day

92
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,500
in this hour, that this is what 
things will look like. 

93
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:48,100
We don't have to be unaware. 
We should be able to discern. 

94
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:52,500
He actually says the Signs of 
the time he says you should 

95
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:58,000
discern the signs of the time 
and if you as a Christian can't 

96
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,900
discern, what is really going 
on? 

97
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:05,000
Because we've already said our 
battle is not against flesh and 

98
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,000
blood but it's against what 
principalities right, demonic 

99
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,800
forces. 
And agendas and And so, if 

100
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,700
you're here just to play Church,
you know, you're not going to 

101
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:23,900
make it, you're going to be one 
of those that fall away. 

102
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,100
You're going to be. 
Because you're not going to be 

103
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:34,200
rooted in faith in actual your 
belief system. 

104
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,799
And what you believe, all right,
you're going to get caught up in

105
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:44,800
all of the world's voices but he
lets us know that in Jude. 

106
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,200
One thing that we must be 
responsible for is to keep 

107
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,400
ourselves in the love of God. 
We are responsible to keep 

108
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,400
ourselves in the love of God. 
And this is not what the world 

109
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,800
says. 
Love Is Right Now. 

110
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,300
Love Is Love Is Love Is Love. 
This is not that type of love. 

111
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:15,100
God is love and he is agape. 
And that is what love is agape. 

112
00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:21,900
Love is who God is and his 
nature K, it's who he is and so 

113
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,500
he lets us know that we must be 
the ones that are going to keep 

114
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:30,800
ourselves in this life. 
Love because listen it can be 

115
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,300
really easy to start coming 
against things that you're 

116
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:40,500
seeing on a daily basis and 
begin to start coming with a 

117
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:45,400
wrong motive and a wrong 
attitude towards people to wear 

118
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,400
your you get disgusted with 
people you start you can even 

119
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,800
start hating people what are you
going to do when they come front

120
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,500
you and and want to say whatever
they want to say? 

121
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:01,200
Are you going to be like those 
that want to scream in your face

122
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,200
and you've seen them on the 
news? 

123
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,300
Come on. 
So he lets us know this, this is

124
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:13,000
the types of things that are 
going to be happening with 

125
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,200
people in this day. 
And but we're going to have to 

126
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,900
be responsible to keep ourselves
in love because if we don't have

127
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:25,600
love, the scripture says faith 
worketh by love. 

128
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,000
We will not be operating in 
faith at all in our lives. 

129
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,200
If we are not people that are 
going to keep our hearts pure, 

130
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,700
in a place of Love towards 
Another we were driving here 

131
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:47,000
today and in front of us was a 
car with all of these new mantra

132
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,900
stickers on it, right? 
Black lives matter, you know, my

133
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:59,800
body my choice, you know, love 
is love, you know, all the 

134
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,900
Mantra stickers on. 
Oh, and guess what was their tag

135
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,700
save the turtles. 
But they want to murder the 

136
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:15,500
babies. 
See, the insanity. 

137
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:21,400
And so these are the types and 
we just began to pray for that 

138
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,200
person in the car that hit the 
eyes of their understanding 

139
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,100
would be enlightened and that 
the veil of Darkness would be 

140
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:32,500
removed from their eyes so that 
they could see the light of the 

141
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,400
gospel because they're blinded 
and they're groping around in 

142
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,900
darkness with the things of this
world. 

143
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,700
And so he lets us know that 
that's the kind of heart you 

144
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:48,000
have to have when you see this 
when you When you see these 

145
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,400
attitudes, when you see the 
evil, the wickedness happening, 

146
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,100
our first response ought to be 
prayer. 

147
00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:01,100
It ought to be, we need to pray 
for these individuals because 

148
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:06,700
that's going to keep us in a 
place that our heart is in love 

149
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:11,200
with God, and keep ourselves 
protected, and guarded from 

150
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,500
allowing us to take offense at 
it. 

151
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:19,800
Because we can't take offense at
it. 

152
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:24,000
We cannot be people that take 
offense at anything because 

153
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,300
offenses will kill us. 
Amen. 

154
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:34,100
So, you know, we can have a 
righteous indignation, but 

155
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:41,200
that's always motivated by love,
not hate, not vindictiveness, 

156
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,700
right? 
So, we have to make sure that in

157
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:50,300
this last day, that we Nice, 
these things are happening and 

158
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:54,500
we have the responsibility to 
keep ourselves in the love of 

159
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:58,700
God, we talked about this last 
week that iniquity was going to 

160
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:03,900
abound and that the love of many
could wax cold in this day and 

161
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:07,000
that that love their that is 
waxing. 

162
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,600
Cold has to do with Believers, 
not ungodly people. 

163
00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:19,200
Our love can wax cold our love 
can wax cold and so we want to 

164
00:13:19,208 --> 00:13:24,200
make sure that we are not these 
people and and that verse 13 out

165
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,000
of Matthew 24, he says but he 
that will endure to the end. 

166
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:33,100
So this is what we're talking 
about if we're going to endure 

167
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:37,100
until the end, if we're going to
be able to endure and stay 

168
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:41,500
strong in our faith and keep 
ourselves in a place. 

169
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:44,600
That we are ready for him when 
he returns. 

170
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,000
Then we are going to have to 
keep ourselves in the love of 

171
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,800
God. 
We are going to have to guard 

172
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:59,100
our hearts, with all diligence 
guarding it and keep it, he 

173
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:02,700
says, right. 
And we talked about what that 

174
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:07,600
meant to keep means to guard. 
It means to attend to, to take 

175
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,300
care of. 
This is the real self care. 

176
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,500
We need to be talking about as 
Believers. 

177
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,700
The taking care of our 
individual hearts. 

178
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,800
Because if our hearts have 
anything in it, that is against 

179
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,300
anyone. 
Come on. 

180
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,600
Period. 
So the self-care hashtag 

181
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,900
self-care. 
Needs to start right here in our

182
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:47,100
hearts caring and tending for 
our hearts to make sure that we 

183
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:51,700
have nothing in it. 
That is not God has not already 

184
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:58,400
been able to be allowed to have 
full access in every area of our

185
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,200
heart to bring healing. 
So that when We are in a 

186
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,100
position of wherever we're at in
life. 

187
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:11,200
There's not going to be anything
that would come out of a heart 

188
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,600
of a victim, a heart of 
unforgiveness, a heart of, oh, 

189
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,300
I've seen those people at like 
that so long, and they're Never 

190
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:22,600
Gonna Change. 
That's a wrong heart. 

191
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,900
So wrong heart. 
And so this is what we're 

192
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:35,000
talking about this taking care, 
the self care of our hearts is 

193
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,100
very vitally important, And that
should be the number one thing 

194
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:45,900
we're caring for. 
He lets us know that out of our 

195
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:52,300
heart flows, the issues of life.
If we are not to, he says to 

196
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:56,600
guard your hearts because out of
it flows, the issues of life. 

197
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,300
And so if we want to make sure 
that we are not people that are 

198
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:07,700
having issues with ourselves and
with others, than we're going to

199
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:12,800
have to be those that guard and 
take care of our hearts. 

200
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,400
It also means to hold fast to, 
and to watch unto. 

201
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:23,400
So again, you watch your own 
heart, you guard your own heart,

202
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:29,000
you take care of your own heart,
Amen. 

203
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,200
So that we make sure that we are
not going to wax cold. 

204
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,900
We're not going to have any 
offense in it towards anyone or 

205
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:41,400
anything going on. 
You know, there are good 

206
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:47,500
Christians that you know, spew 
hatred about political people. 

207
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:55,800
That's wrong. 
He tells us to pray for those. 

208
00:16:56,900 --> 00:17:02,500
Pray for those it's wrong that 
we think we can talk about 

209
00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:07,700
people and slander people. 
I don't care what all there on. 

210
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,000
We don't have that right as a 
believer. 

211
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,000
Because it will affect our 
heart, it will affect it. 

212
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:24,599
So he goes on to say, we talked 
about this that in Revelations. 

213
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:32,500
He told us again in Chapter 2 
and verse 4 that you know, they 

214
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:35,100
had lost their. 
What First Love? 

215
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,200
They lost their first love. 
He talked about the Church of 

216
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,500
Ephesians or Ephesus Talking 
about the Church of Ephesus and 

217
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:47,800
he said that they had been doing
good. 

218
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,900
They had been advancing, they 
were strong, they were doing 

219
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:55,200
great but they got caught up in 
what they were doing that they 

220
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:01,000
what forgot their first love and
he had that against them. 

221
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,700
So we talked about the fact that
we are going to have to keep 

222
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:08,200
ourselves in a place. 
In this last day that we stay 

223
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,200
focused on guarding our hearts 
and making sure that our passion

224
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,800
for him. 
Is the very first thing. 

225
00:18:14,900 --> 00:18:18,900
That's the most important thing 
in our lives is that we are 

226
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,300
loving God first more than 
anything else, more than our 

227
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:28,200
jobs, more than our families 
more than our kids, right? 

228
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:32,900
More than our vacations more 
than our money, we are to love 

229
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:37,000
him more. 
He tells us we are to love him 

230
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:42,000
with all of our heart, all of 
our strength, all of our might. 

231
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:47,700
And that that Should be a 
passion, a passionate love a 

232
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:53,900
passionate love for him. 
And so he we talked about that. 

233
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:58,000
If we were going to keep 
ourselves in the love of God in 

234
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,100
the last days than we were going
to have to what make sure that 

235
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:08,400
we are not caught up in the 
cares of this life. 

236
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:13,300
The distractions, all these 
voices are distractions Ins to 

237
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:18,400
get you caught up in them and 
caught up in things so that it 

238
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:25,100
pulls you away from your love. 
It pulls you away from you and 

239
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:30,400
your relationship with the Lord.
And so he let us know that that 

240
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,700
he told us here, let me read 
this Mark for 19, he says, the 

241
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:40,200
cares of this world and the 
deceitfulness of riches and the 

242
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,300
lust. 
For other things entering in 

243
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:49,300
will choke the word out and it 
will become unfruitful. 

244
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,800
So he, we talked about last 
week, that cares of this, life 

245
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,300
is the number one thing that we 
have to make sure that we are 

246
00:19:59,308 --> 00:20:04,000
guarding against and not 
allowing all of these things 

247
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800
going on in our lives. 
Because that was what was 

248
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,400
happening in the day of Noah, 
they were given unto marriage. 

249
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200
They were, you know, doing all 
these things. 

250
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:17,500
You know, I've got this to do 
this, to do. 

251
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,100
It said they were, they were so 
distracted. 

252
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,800
With all of these things. 
Right? 

253
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,500
And that's how it was and the 
day of Noah. 

254
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:32,000
And so let us know that if we 
are going to keep ourselves in a

255
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,500
place on fire for God and in 
love with him, then we're going 

256
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:39,500
to have to make sure that we 
don't get caught up in the 

257
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:43,800
distractions of this world, 
because what happens, it begins 

258
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,200
to choke you out. 
It begins to choke the word of 

259
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,600
God out of you because you slip 
on reading your Bible, you slip 

260
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,400
on your prayer time. 
You slip on taking time to be in

261
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,800
the house of the Lord, because 
you're busy, you know, working 

262
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,800
and, and doing trips and go in 
here and going there. 

263
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,300
And you're so distracted that 
all of a sudden, you realize, 

264
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:09,900
man, I haven't read my Bible in 
three weeks. 

265
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:17,600
What's happened at slowly? 
Just choking the word out of 

266
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,000
you, right? 
That's what it talked about. 

267
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:24,600
Remember I mentioned Martha, oh,
Martha Martha. 

268
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:30,200
She was so anxious and worried 
about and concerned about all 

269
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,900
the things going on that day. 
That Jesus was in her house. 

270
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:37,400
She was caught up in all the 
distractions that the very 

271
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,200
things she needed to be doing 
was what spending time. 

272
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:46,500
In his presence spending time 
with him because he was there 

273
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:50,700
among them, right? 
And so, it's important that we 

274
00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:56,600
recognize, but I want to look at
we also read the scripture out 

275
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,500
of Luke and this is really where
I want to start tonight. 

276
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:05,200
Luke 21 34. 
So in Jude, he tells us that we 

277
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,800
are going to have to write keep 
ourselves in the love of God, 

278
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,200
and And in Luke, I read this and
it said this, take heed to 

279
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,500
yourselves the word, take heed 
to yourselves. 

280
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:27,900
This is that self-care Take heed
to yourself care for yourself, 

281
00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:31,900
take key to it, right? 
I could have just titled this 

282
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:33,200
self-care. 
I guess. 

283
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,500
I don't know why I'm camping on 
that because I'm just really 

284
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:40,600
tired of seeing all the hashtags
about it because this is 

285
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,300
self-care right here. 
This is self-care and so he says

286
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:51,400
this, he says take heed to 
yourselves and that same word 

287
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,100
take heed means also to keep and
Guard. 

288
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,600
So you take heat heed to 
yourselves. 

289
00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:05,100
You keep you guard, yourselves, 
lest any at any time, your 

290
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:10,600
hearts be overcharged with 
surfeiting and drunkenness and 

291
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,700
what the cares of this life. 
And so that the day comes upon, 

292
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:19,300
you unaware. 
Now, that was in the King James 

293
00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:23,100
version. 
Reading that I want to read it 

294
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:25,300
out of The New American Standard
Version. 

295
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:31,300
And I want to go to verse 36 be 
on guard so that your hearts 

296
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:37,000
will not be weighted down with 
dissipation and drunkenness and 

297
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,500
the worries of life and that day
will come on, you suddenly like 

298
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:48,500
a trap for it will come upon all
of those that dwell on the face 

299
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:53,800
of the Earth, all the Earth. 
Keep on alert at all times 

300
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,500
praying that you may have 
strength to escape all these 

301
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:04,900
things that are about to take 
place and to stand before the 

302
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:12,700
son of man. 
So he says, listen you best be 

303
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:16,100
on guard? 
Which is the same word that he 

304
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:19,700
said in Jude, he must take heed 
to yourselves. 

305
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,100
Keep and attend to one's self is
what it means. 

306
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:30,600
All right, I say this is God's 
self care and help plan care for

307
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,500
and attend be attentive to 
yourself is what it means. 

308
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:41,500
Hold to your mind, pay 
attention, pay attention, please

309
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:45,800
to what is happening in this, 
This world. 

310
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,400
Pay attention. 
But he goes on to say, pay 

311
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:58,300
attention be cautious about and 
apply oneself to, to be given 

312
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:01,500
to. 
So that's what he means, by be 

313
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:06,900
on guard, keep yourselves it. 
All means that and it has to do 

314
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:12,900
with, not only you and being in 
a position to take care of your 

315
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:19,300
heart and yourself. 
But also it deals with you and 

316
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:25,200
Mind. 
Because we know this is where 

317
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:31,700
the devils. 
Playing field is his playing 

318
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:36,000
field is to get in your mind and
get your mind. 

319
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,400
So, distracted, with the cares 
of this life, the busyness, 

320
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,500
everything that you are doing, 
and you have to do that, you 

321
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:49,200
get. 
So and actually when you break 

322
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,600
and we're going to break it 
down. 

323
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,500
So go down. 
It says so that you get so 

324
00:25:53,500 --> 00:26:00,400
distracted, you get weighted 
down You get so weighted down 

325
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,900
with all that you're doing, you 
get so distracted with 

326
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:07,600
everything that's going on from 
having to work, take care of 

327
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:13,300
your children, cook clean, you 
know, whatever it is, whatever 

328
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:17,400
it is, that everybody does on a 
daily basis. 

329
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:20,900
And everybody. 
Some people are working two and 

330
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:25,000
three jobs, but we get so 
weighted down, we get so 

331
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,600
distracted with everything that 
we're doing and get get to a 

332
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,900
place where we just feel burnt 
out or drained or weighted down,

333
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:37,400
right? 
That we don't want to do 

334
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,100
anything. 
We don't even have time to read 

335
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:42,700
our Bible. 
Listen, we've been there. 

336
00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:47,000
Been there. 
It's, you got to get yourself 

337
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,400
out of that cycle and get 
yourself in being a diss self 

338
00:26:52,400 --> 00:27:00,500
disciplined person. 
A self disciplined person to say

339
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:05,100
that I am going to do these 
things before I get distracted 

340
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:10,100
with anything else before. 
Anything else. 

341
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:15,000
I've got to do these things. 
All right, because if not, we're

342
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,400
going to get weighted down. 
Alright, let me tell you what 

343
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,700
weighted down means. 
It means burdened. 

344
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:23,900
And I see people coming in. 
Weighted down there, just burden

345
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:25,800
with everything they got going 
on. 

346
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,000
Right. 
Hallelujah. 

347
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,600
And then he goes on to say with 
this dissipation. 

348
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:41,300
Now dissipation has to do with 
really carousing and drunkenness

349
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:47,800
and almost like a stupor. 
And he goes on and says 

350
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,300
drunkenness. 
And when you look up 

351
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:52,600
drunkenness, it literally is 
talking about drunk with wine, 

352
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:54,800
so I don't even know why in the 
world. 

353
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,800
There's so many pastors that 
think it's okay to be drinking. 

354
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,800
I still just don't even 
understand it. 

355
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,500
When it clearly clearly when you
look it up in the Greek tells 

356
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:10,000
you exactly what that means. 
Right. 

357
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:16,900
So he goes on to say that word. 
Dispensation is light is a 

358
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:27,500
Lorene intoxication. 
You get so intoxicated in your 

359
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:31,700
mind with all the cares, you 
understand what I'm saying? 

360
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:37,600
All the cares, all the things 
going on in in your life. 

361
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:45,300
You get so consumed with it, you
get so intoxicated with it that 

362
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:53,200
it learns you away from the word
from him, from your relationship

363
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,400
with the world. 
That were with the Lord. 

364
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:02,600
It lures you a way that you 
become intoxicated with all 

365
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,700
these cares. 
How many of you been there? 

366
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:09,100
You let your mind go ramp it on 
the million things you got to 

367
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:11,500
do? 
I mean, you can get into your 

368
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:14,100
mind. 
Can be like, whoa, swimming. 

369
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:20,800
That's what it's talking about. 
and then when he talks about 

370
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:27,200
that, it also means as if you've
got a headache, I want to say 

371
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:33,300
like a hangover A headache. 
It literally says it when you 

372
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:36,300
look it up. 
Like a headache. 

373
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,700
Your head is a key with all the 
things swarming around in your 

374
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:46,500
mind, all the cares, all the 
things you've got going on, all 

375
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:51,100
the busyness, all these things 
that's happening, you get a 

376
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:53,800
headache from it. 
Your head is swarming, you get 

377
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,100
intoxicated with it. 
You are like you have a hangover

378
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:06,000
the next day and you can't even 
function Which also entails you 

379
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:12,300
can no longer be sober-minded. 
You're not sober minded. 

380
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:17,500
This is one meaning of when he 
says to keep your mind sober. 

381
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:22,400
So I know many people that may 
not drink but their mind is not 

382
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,100
sober because they're drowning 
in done. 

383
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:35,100
Bridled Mind games. 
Right? 

384
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,800
The mind playing games on them, 
you know, all the things going 

385
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,900
on, in their mind, the worries, 
the cares, the anxiety, the 

386
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,600
anxiousness? 
I mean, have we not heard that 

387
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,100
term? 
Like never before anxiety, 

388
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:54,600
anxiety, anxiety, anxiety. 
This is the cure for your 

389
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,800
anxiety. 
This is the cure actually, when 

390
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,100
you look up in my Bible, it says
in Matthew 6, the Don't love it.

391
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:15,400
The cure for anxiety and worry. 
Yet we have so many people so 

392
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:21,100
anxious right now in our world. 
So worried so weighted down, 

393
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:24,300
right? 
Listen and we can't get caught 

394
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:28,500
up in it. 
So drunkenness, it literally is 

395
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,800
talking about being drunk, 
right? 

396
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,400
So you're getting, you know, 
drunk on the cares of this life 

397
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,800
and on the worries and on all 
the things you're getting drunk 

398
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,500
on wine. 
No wonder. 

399
00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:47,300
We've got all kinds of things 
happening in the churches today.

400
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,600
Right. 
Come on, I'm being real. 

401
00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:58,300
I'm being really real because I 
really don't want to lose 

402
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:12,900
anyone. 
You know, I was thinking about 

403
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:15,600
this and I didn't know if I, the
Lord, would let me say it. 

404
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,900
But I guess he will. 
I was, you know, doing my walk 

405
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:25,100
and my wonderful preserve today 
in my prayer time. 

406
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,200
Because it wasn't in the middle 
of the day. 

407
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,200
For those of you that may not 
know, I did share a little bit 

408
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,700
about that preserve on Sunday 
morning prayer. 

409
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,800
But anyway, I was walking today 
and and thinking about how bold 

410
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,600
we need to be in this day and in
this hour that we're living 

411
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,600
because of the boldness, that is
being spewed. 

412
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,300
And people's faces today and the
Lord spoke to me and said and 

413
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:02,000
you need to be, I said, Lord, 
how are we going to get to this 

414
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,900
generation? 
I'm tired of seeing, I just got 

415
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,100
another phone called this very 
week of a you know, good 

416
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:11,500
Christian kid, getting sent 
naked, pictures of another girl.

417
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,700
I and I was disgusted thinking. 
I am, what is it going to take 

418
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:26,100
for us to deal with this 
happening in this generation? 

419
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,000
I was getting indignant and he 
said, the righteous are as bold 

420
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,500
as a lion. 
He said, but you're not a lion, 

421
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:36,600
you're a lioness and you go for 
the jugular. 

422
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:45,700
Lioness kill the prey and they 
bring the meat to the lion. 

423
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:56,100
That's what he said to me. 
You're a lioness. 

424
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,700
You go for the jugular, you go 
for the prey and that's the only

425
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:06,300
thing that's going to push back.
That darkness is if you rise up 

426
00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:12,900
and starts laying that in the 
spirit, And that's what it's 

427
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:17,699
going to take because I'm tired 
of seeing this generation being 

428
00:34:17,699 --> 00:34:21,900
intoxicated and actually when 
you look up that word 

429
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:27,199
dispensation at has to do with a
sexual allurement as well, and 

430
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:31,600
I'm tired of seeing them. 
Get intoxicated with this sexual

431
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,600
perversion, that was Unleashed 
on our nation on our Capital. 

432
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:39,699
The day, the rainbow was lit up 
on it. 

433
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:44,500
There was a spirit release 
stronger than ever in our nation

434
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,100
and it is taking out good, good 
kids. 

435
00:34:54,199 --> 00:35:00,000
He said you go for the jugular. 
Because you slay, the pray. 

436
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,300
You are the one. 
Amen. 

437
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:08,000
So I'm going to do it. 
I'm going to do it in the 

438
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,600
spirit. 
I'm going to push back that 

439
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,200
Spirit of Darkness over this 
generation. 

440
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,600
And how many women are going to 
do it with me, I want you to 

441
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,300
just stand up, stand up because 
I'm going to hold you to it, 

442
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:26,900
we're going to push back that 
Spirit that's trying to take our

443
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:28,900
children. 
This generation. 

444
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,400
We're going to push it back. 
Amen. 

445
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:37,300
Hallelujah. 
Thank you, Father, lift your 

446
00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:40,200
hands, father. 
You see these that are here that

447
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,800
are going to be in agreement 
with us that we're going to push

448
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,400
back that demonic Spirit. 
That's trying to come in into 

449
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,700
our children's lives. 
We're going to push it back. 

450
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,400
We're going to be in agreement 
that it has to go and it's not 

451
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,400
going to happen in this house. 
Hallelujah. 

452
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,700
Hallelujah. 
We need to get bold, guys. 

453
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:08,500
Because I'm tired of seeing it 
happen every single day. 

454
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,400
Every single day. 
Amen. 

455
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:20,500
So this sexual intoxication as 
well. 

456
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,700
That's what it means. 
When you look it up. 

457
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,000
So, we have to be people that 
recognize, what is the reality 

458
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,500
of what is happening in the hour
that we're living and God, we 

459
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:39,000
are the only ones that God can 
use to deal with it. 

460
00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:44,600
We're the only ones, no, one 
else, no government official can

461
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,800
deal with the wickedness that is
going on in our nation. 

462
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,600
We are the only ones that can 
deal with it. 

463
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,700
We have a responsibility. 
Need to deal with it. 

464
00:36:55,700 --> 00:36:58,200
This is off the message but I'm 
telling you, we have a 

465
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,900
responsibility and we're going 
to be held accountable. 

466
00:37:02,300 --> 00:37:07,000
We're going to be held 
accountable. if we just let this

467
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,700
thing have this generation, Not 
on my watch. 

468
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,500
Hallelujah. 
Not when he let me know who I 

469
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:19,000
was. 
I'm going for the jugular, we're

470
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,800
taking them out. 
Amen. 

471
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:28,200
Hallelujah, anyway, let's try to
get back on my notes so we'll be

472
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:33,900
all good. 
Hallelujah. 

473
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:42,900
So that's what it means, Kerry's
worries and anxieties and life. 

474
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:45,000
The distractions of life is 
there. 

475
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,700
For one purpose, to choke the 
word of God, out of your life to

476
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:51,400
get you. 
So caught up, what did he say? 

477
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,700
It was like he said, it will 
come on you like a trap. 

478
00:37:55,700 --> 00:38:03,800
The one translation said in 
verse 34 again and The New 

479
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,200
American Standard, he said and 
that day will not come on. 

480
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,600
You suddenly like a trap. 
If you don't let these things 

481
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,500
get get you off, right. 
So what is he talking about here

482
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,700
suddenly like a trap. 
What happens is when we get 

483
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:23,500
caught up into these things, we 
get so distracted, it's like 

484
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:26,000
this trap. 
It's actually like an animal 

485
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,400
trap, a trap that's at and the 
animal obviously gets trapped in

486
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,900
it, right? 
There's a trap that the enemy is

487
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:40,600
trying to lure you away with the
cares and the things of this 

488
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:45,700
life drunkenness, dispensation 
carousing around. 

489
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:49,900
He's trying to get us caught up 
into all of these things so that

490
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:56,800
he can actually it is a trap. 
It is a trap, this is his trap 

491
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:04,100
when you read it, it says an 
alluring sensual drawing to sin.

492
00:39:05,700 --> 00:39:10,200
And that's how he Alors you in 
and you're in it. 

493
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,000
And then all of a sudden you 
realize I'm in a trap and I 

494
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,500
can't get out. 
I'm stuck. 

495
00:39:18,900 --> 00:39:22,000
How many I know that got stuck 
in a sin. 

496
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,900
Because they got lured away 
again by it and then all of a 

497
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:31,800
sudden now they're trapped is 
too strong, hold come on and 

498
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:38,300
they feel there's no way out. 
They've been trapped by him by 

499
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:44,000
the Devil, by allowing those 
things to come into their life 

500
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,400
and not keeping their hearts 
guarding. 

501
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,200
Their hearts not allowing 
themselves to be entangled, or 

502
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:54,100
it also means a noose around 
your neck. 

503
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,900
You're going to be choked out in
that. 

504
00:39:57,900 --> 00:40:01,900
What he said with the cares of 
this life, deceitfulness of 

505
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:06,300
riches, it will choke you out. 
And actually, I saw a picture of

506
00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:10,000
a python, you know? 
I think it's really creepy when 

507
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,900
people carry around pythons and 
snakes because the only thing 

508
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:16,500
good for a snake is for its head
to come off. 

509
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:22,000
So it really freaks me out. 
When people are walking around 

510
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,600
with these things wrapped 
around, and letting them lay in 

511
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,900
the beds with their Ed's and all
kinds of stupid stuff. 

512
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:32,100
Anyway, a snake is a snake as a 
snake and it was cursed in 

513
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:35,400
anything that was cursed. 
I don't want on me around me. 

514
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:40,200
Near me. 
It was cursed by God. 

515
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,700
That's why nobody ought to be 
being friends with it. 

516
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:55,300
Anyway, he gave me a picture of 
this snake. 

517
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:59,600
This python, you know, all there
at all friendly and wrapped 

518
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,800
around your body until all of a 
sudden, they start squeezing and

519
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,800
squeezing a little bit more and 
squeeze in a little bit more and

520
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:13,400
then you are trapped in choked 
out and you Can't breathe and 

521
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,300
how many people get so caught up
in things? 

522
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:23,000
So trapped in things, caught up,
slowly a luring them into 

523
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,800
things, they can do, it won't 
matter this time. 

524
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,000
Oh, nobody knows this time. 
Oh, I won't get caught this time

525
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,600
and they get trapped in and 
choked out. 

526
00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:39,600
It's a noose around their own 
neck, right? 

527
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,900
And so he lets us know that the 
only thing this trap is there 

528
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:49,100
for is to kill. 
It's for loss, it's for 

529
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:52,100
Destruction. 
Amen. 

530
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,500
And that's what we know. 
His only agenda is to come, the 

531
00:41:57,500 --> 00:42:03,100
devil came to what kill steal 
and destroy, and that's what 

532
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:07,600
happens if we don't take heed 
self-care. 

533
00:42:07,700 --> 00:42:12,000
Come on, take care of our 
hearts, keep our play rpr, 

534
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,800
ourself in a position that we 
are guarding this heart with 

535
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,100
everything because we're not 
going to allow anything to 

536
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:24,000
distract us or keep us away. 
From our relationship with the 

537
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,400
Lord. 
Amen. 

538
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:32,300
So he also says this, that we 
must be what sober-minded, look 

539
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:35,300
at 1st Thessalonians. 
This is a new scripture first 

540
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:40,000
Thessalonians everybody doing 
all right 5 first Thessalonians 

541
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,200
chapter 5 6 through 8 says this.
So then let us not sleep as 

542
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,900
others do, but let us be on 
alert. 

543
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:55,200
Out, and sober for those who 
sleep do, they're sleeping at 

544
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,400
night and those who get drunk 
get drunk at night. 

545
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:03,200
But since we are of the day, let
us be sober having put on the 

546
00:43:03,208 --> 00:43:10,400
breastplate of faith and love as
a helmet and the hope of our 

547
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,900
Salvation. 
So he lets us know that. 

548
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:20,000
In this day, we must be people 
that are sober, minded, I think 

549
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,400
I skipped ahead. 
But anyway, we ought to be 

550
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,500
people that are sober minded 1st
Corinthians 15. 

551
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:33,400
He says, listen become sober 
minded as you ought and stop 

552
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,600
sinning for some have no 
knowledge of God. 

553
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:42,300
But I speak this to your shame. 
So he lets us know. 

554
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,400
Some people don't have any 
knowledge of God but he speaks 

555
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,200
it to your shame. 
We ought to be people that are 

556
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:58,000
sober minded because we know 
God, We know God, we ought to be

557
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,800
sober-minded, we ought to be 
alert. 

558
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,700
We ought to be awakened. 
We ought to know and discern the

559
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:09,600
signs of the times and what's 
going on and and ask the Lord 

560
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,300
for wisdom and knowledge in how 
to navigate with our family, 

561
00:44:14,300 --> 00:44:19,800
with our work with people, how 
to navigate our everyday so that

562
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:25,400
we don't get caught up into 
distractions that are going on. 

563
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,300
Man, we are responsible. 
He lets us know to be 

564
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:32,000
sober-minded. 
Not only sober-minded, first 

565
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,200
Peter 5:8 says that we must be 
sober of spirit. 

566
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:40,200
So what does this mean? 
We must keep ourselves 

567
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,700
spiritually into. 
Spiritually alert, right? 

568
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:47,400
He says be on alert, your 
adversary. 

569
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:52,000
The devil is prowling around 
like a roaring lion seeking 

570
00:44:52,000 --> 00:45:00,300
someone to devour. 
He's prowling around looking for

571
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:03,600
an opportunity for you to let 
him in. 

572
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:10,600
To lower you in so that he can 
get you off, get you trapped and

573
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,900
take you out. 
And we have to be spiritually 

574
00:45:14,900 --> 00:45:18,900
alert enough to know what is 
happening and what is going on 

575
00:45:18,900 --> 00:45:24,100
around us and and be able to 
discern good and evil. 

576
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Amen. 
Now, look at First Peter, five 

577
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:38,500
and seven. 
How do we deal with all of the 

578
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:40,900
cares? 
All of the worries? 

579
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:45,200
All of the anxiety. 
I mean, people are already, you 

580
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:51,700
know, worried about gas prices. 
People are already worried about

581
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,300
food shortages. 
People are already worried about

582
00:45:56,300 --> 00:46:00,500
monkeypox. 
People are already worried and 

583
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:03,800
caught up and anxious about. 
Yeah. 

584
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,100
Monkey paw. 
She'll know. 

585
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:09,600
That's the new one, all of these
things. 

586
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:16,100
I mean people are worried 
fearful caught up in all these 

587
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:18,900
things people are. 
I mean I know people that's 

588
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:21,200
already bought thirty thousand 
dollars worth of food and 

589
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:29,400
stopped it. this is a true 
statement, a Yes. 

590
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,800
Yes, it's true. 
People are already. 

591
00:46:36,100 --> 00:46:41,200
That's why the supply train is. 
They're buying up all the stop 

592
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:45,200
anyway. 
People are worried about all of 

593
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,600
these things and we have the 
answers. 

594
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,000
We have the answer to do. 
You know what the answer is? 

595
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:58,700
It is found in Matthew 6:25. 
This is what he tells me is the 

596
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:04,500
cure for anxiety. 
He said this, I tell you I'm 

597
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:06,200
going to read it out of the 
passion. 

598
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:17,000
This I tell you to Never Say, 
Never Say Never say never be 

599
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:26,200
worried about life. 
That's in a fatik statement. 

600
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:35,000
He says never to be worried 
about your life for all that you

601
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:41,800
need will be provided such as 
food water clothing, which is 

602
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:48,500
what everyone is working for. 
Everything your body needs is it

603
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:50,000
there? 
More to lie? 

604
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,600
Isn't there more to your life 
than a meal? 

605
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,000
Is it your body more than 
clothing? 

606
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,600
Consider the birds. 
Do you think they are worried 

607
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,600
about their existence? 
They don't plant or reap or 

608
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,200
store up food yet your heavenly 
father provides for them. 

609
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:13,300
Each with food aren't you much 
more valuable to your father 

610
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:17,400
than they? 
So Which one of you by worrying 

611
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:24,100
can add anything to your life 
and why would you worry, right? 

612
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:26,700
Why would you worry about your 
clothing? 

613
00:48:26,700 --> 00:48:29,700
Look at the beautiful flowers of
the field. 

614
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:35,000
They don't work or tool and yet,
not even Solomon, in all his 

615
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,300
Splendor was robed in Beauty 
like one of these. 

616
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:44,000
And he was robed Solomon. 
Had it all. 

617
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:51,000
He had it all and he's saying 
these flowers are more beautiful

618
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:57,000
than what Solomon had. 
It says so if God has closed the

619
00:48:57,300 --> 00:49:02,700
meadow with hey, which is here 
for such a short time and that's

620
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:12,000
where we're at realizing. 
That we are life is but a vapor 

621
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,000
and we're not to look at the 
scene but the Unseen and that 

622
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,800
should be our Focus, but we're 
all caught up in the day and and

623
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,400
what we see. 
But he says listen, he says he 

624
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,800
says, which is here for such a 
short time and then dried up and

625
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:34,700
burnt, won't he provide for you 
the clothes, you need. 

626
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:41,000
You of little so when you're 
worried about your food about 

627
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,100
your clothes, about what you're 
going to do with all these 

628
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:49,000
things, You have little faith in
God. 

629
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:50,800
Is it that? 
What? 

630
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,900
That just said, you of little 
faith? 

631
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:59,000
He goes on to say, he says, let 
me find where either. 

632
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,900
So then forsake your worries, 
forsake your worries, don't 

633
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:06,400
forsake God, forsake, your 
worries. 

634
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,000
So many people are forsaking God
for all of these things of this 

635
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,600
world, that is choking them out.
They are forsaking. 

636
00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:20,400
God for their jobs for the 
money, come on for the things, 

637
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,400
for all the things that are 
going on there, forsaking God, 

638
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:30,000
and he says, don't forsake God, 
forsake those worries, forsake 

639
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:36,300
those things. 
He says, listen why would you 

640
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:38,700
say what will we eat? 
Or what will we drink? 

641
00:50:38,700 --> 00:50:42,000
Or what will we wear for? 
That is what the unbelievers 

642
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:47,200
chase after. 
So what the unbelievers chase 

643
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,300
after. 
But we're supposed to be 

644
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:53,400
Believers. 
Doesn't your heavenly father 

645
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,700
already know the things? 
Your bodies require. 

646
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,100
So above all constantly seek 
God's kingdom and his 

647
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:04,300
righteousness. 
Then all of these things, what 

648
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:09,400
these important things will be 
given to you abundantly refused.

649
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:17,100
They refused say refuse, say 
refused refused to worry about 

650
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:20,600
tomorrow. 
But deal with each challenge, 

651
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:26,000
that comes your way. 
One day at a time tomorrow, 

652
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:32,800
we'll take care of its self. 
This is the cure for your 

653
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,700
anxiety. 
How about this? 

654
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:41,000
Just don't do it. 
Don't do it, don't be anxious. 

655
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,700
Don't be worried, don't take a 
care. 

656
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:49,800
Actually, he lets us know that 
self-care would be what casting 

657
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:57,000
all of our cares upon Him? 
Here it is psalm 55:22. 

658
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,100
This was one of my favorite 
scriptures about now. 

659
00:52:00,700 --> 00:52:04,000
Wow, 20 years ago, when I was in
Ramah. 

660
00:52:05,700 --> 00:52:08,100
This is one of the scriptures, 
the lord gave me. 

661
00:52:09,300 --> 00:52:12,500
Twenty years ago. 
Because 20 years ago, I wasn't 

662
00:52:12,500 --> 00:52:17,200
where I act today. 
When we get to Rhema and we have

663
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:24,000
no money and no house, come on 
and someone stole the little bit

664
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:32,700
of cash, we did have. 
Cast your cares on the Lord. 

665
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:34,600
This is the scripture I stood 
on. 

666
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:41,900
And he will sustain you, you 
cast those anxieties those 

667
00:52:41,900 --> 00:52:46,700
worries, those cares on him and 
he's the one that can sustain 

668
00:52:46,700 --> 00:52:53,000
you through it all because he is
faithful because he is faithful,

669
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,700
he will sustain you actually, 
when you look up that word, I 

670
00:52:56,700 --> 00:53:01,800
still know it by heart, he will 
uphold you, he will support you.

671
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,100
He will never let you be. 
Brought down. 

672
00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:12,600
And when you look up that word 
support and take care of you, it

673
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:19,000
actually means everything. 
You need everything you need. 

674
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,800
That's what that word sustain 
means. 

675
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,500
He will sustain you with 
anything and everything. 

676
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:32,300
If you just cast that care, that
worried that anxiety on him, he 

677
00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:36,200
will never let the righteous be 
shaken. 

678
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,400
He'll never let the righteous be
shaken. 

679
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,400
And then in First Peter, 5 7 and
8. 

680
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,500
See that's why, how good God is.
It's not just one scripture. 

681
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:51,000
There's multiple scriptures for 
your can cure for anxiety and 

682
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,300
worry and care. 
And this is how you guard your 

683
00:53:55,300 --> 00:53:58,900
heart. 
This is how you guard your 

684
00:53:58,900 --> 00:54:00,900
heart. 
This is how you take care of 

685
00:54:00,900 --> 00:54:04,100
your heart. 
This is how you take heed to 

686
00:54:04,100 --> 00:54:09,500
yourself by making sure that 
you're giving him that care and 

687
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:13,100
you're not burdened down with it
and weighted down with it. 

688
00:54:14,100 --> 00:54:17,000
And being intoxicated with. 
What am I gonna do? 

689
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,600
What am I gonna do? 
What am I gonna do? 

690
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:23,900
I'm gonna write how are we going
to do this? 

691
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:29,700
Just it it up. 
No, I'm just cast that on him 

692
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,500
because he cares for me and 
whatever I need. 

693
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:38,000
He's got it and he's going to 
bring it because he delivers me 

694
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:44,600
out of all of my troubles, he 
always does always has because 

695
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,600
he is faithful. 
So first, Peter 5, 7 & 8, says 

696
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:54,500
this casting all your anxieties 
on him because he cares for you.

697
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:59,700
These ought to be two scriptures
that you have highlighted wrote 

698
00:54:59,700 --> 00:55:03,200
down because I'm going to tell 
you every day, just like he 

699
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:09,100
said, there's gonna be a day for
worries, but he tells you to 

700
00:55:09,100 --> 00:55:13,200
refuse them and this is how you 
refuse them by casting them on 

701
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:18,700
him by giving him those cares. 
And saying, father, you, you saw

702
00:55:18,900 --> 00:55:24,100
where we would be and what would
be lacking before we even knew 

703
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:27,400
it was going to be lacking. 
You already saw it. 

704
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,300
You already knew it and you care
for me. 

705
00:55:32,300 --> 00:55:37,500
Amen, he cares for us, he cares 
for you. 

706
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:42,600
And he goes on in verse 8 and 
say, be sober in spirit and be 

707
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:48,300
on alert for your adversary. 
The devil prowls around, like a 

708
00:55:48,308 --> 00:55:53,700
roaring lion seeking, who he may
devour. 

709
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,900
Amen. 
How about this one? 

710
00:55:56,500 --> 00:55:58,500
And our last scripture, I'm 
going to read. 

711
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:05,800
Philippians 4. 
Six through eight, this ought to

712
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,400
be another one that's 
highlighted in your Bible be 

713
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:18,500
anxious for but in everything 
through prayer and supplication 

714
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:23,200
with Thanksgiving, let your 
requests be made known to God. 

715
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,400
And that's what I just said. 
Father, I thank you that you 

716
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,300
care for me more than anything 
else. 

717
00:56:29,300 --> 00:56:32,800
You love me. 
You said in your word, not to 

718
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,100
worry. 
About a thing. 

719
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:36,400
So you know what? 
Lord, I'm not going to worry 

720
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,400
about a thing. 
I'm not going to do it. 

721
00:56:39,100 --> 00:56:42,300
I'm going to give it to you. 
You're going to take care of it 

722
00:56:42,300 --> 00:56:45,200
because you care for me. 
I don't know how you're going to

723
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,400
do it. 
But you are the Waymaker. 

724
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,800
Come on. 
You're the Waymaker. 

725
00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:52,100
You make away. 
Come on. 

726
00:56:52,100 --> 00:56:55,100
When there seems to be no other 
way, you are. 

727
00:56:55,100 --> 00:57:00,500
The one that can deliver? 
Come on, deliver the Israelites 

728
00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:05,900
in the middle of a sea. 
He made a way for deliverance. 

729
00:57:05,900 --> 00:57:10,100
He made a way of Escape he said,
hit that there would never be a 

730
00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:13,000
thing that you could be going 
through that. 

731
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,200
He couldn't get you out of and 
give you a way of an escape. 

732
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:22,400
Amen, because he cares for you. 
But the number one qualification

733
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:27,700
is, is you've got to give it to 
him instead of giving it to the 

734
00:57:27,700 --> 00:57:32,900
prayer chain and giving it to, 
you know, so-and-so to help you.

735
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:37,500
And Give it, no, give it to God 
because he's the one that cares 

736
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:39,900
for you. 
He's the one that wants to take 

737
00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:43,200
care of you. 
He's the one that wants to show 

738
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:48,600
you his goodness and show you 
his Deliverance. 

739
00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:52,000
Amen. 
And he says all you have to do 

740
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,200
is cast it on me. 
All you have to do is give me 

741
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,700
these worries, give me these 
anxieties. 

742
00:57:57,900 --> 00:58:02,400
Give me these cares so that what
is going to happen when you do 

743
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,500
that then? 
Your heart. 

744
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,500
Come on. 
It's not going to be weighted 

745
00:58:08,500 --> 00:58:12,700
down. 
Your heart is not going to be in

746
00:58:12,700 --> 00:58:16,900
any position that you're trying 
to manipulate people for the 

747
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:21,100
money. 
Or whatever else the 

748
00:58:21,108 --> 00:58:26,100
circumstance, maybe, or put 
pressure on somebody that they 

749
00:58:26,100 --> 00:58:31,400
need to do something for you. 
Come on. 

750
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:36,400
No, I'm going to give this to 
God first, and then I'm going to

751
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,000
ask him to lead me and guide me 
and speak to me. 

752
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,200
And what I need to do, if 
there's anything I need to do, 

753
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,300
if there's nothing I need to do 
then all I need to do is trust 

754
00:58:46,300 --> 00:58:51,100
him. 
Trust him and be in a position 

755
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:58,000
of faith and expectation that he
will show me the way of Escape, 

756
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,500
he will show me what I need to 
do to get out of the situation. 

757
00:59:02,700 --> 00:59:09,000
Verse 7 says and the peace of 
God see he connects the anxious 

758
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:15,100
heart or the anxiousness to 
people that are so anxious. 

759
00:59:15,100 --> 00:59:16,900
They don't have peace in their 
life. 

760
00:59:18,300 --> 00:59:22,500
They don't have peace when 
they're worried about everything

761
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,800
when they're caring about 
everything, when they're anxious

762
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,800
about everything, there's no 
peace. 

763
00:59:28,900 --> 00:59:34,000
Because true faith will bring 
rest and written, where there's 

764
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,100
true rest in faith. 
There's peace. 

765
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,000
So, you don't have to be 
twiddling your thumbs. 

766
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,200
You can just have peace, 
demeanor. 

767
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,200
You don't have to get all upset.
You don't have to get 

768
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,500
distraught. 
You don't have to get emotional.

769
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,800
We will have emotions, but we 
don't have to let those emotions

770
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,600
rule in the moment. 
Because we can have peace if 

771
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:04,000
we've given it to God and trust 
that he's going to take care of 

772
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,600
it. 
And then he goes on to say which

773
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,200
surpasses all comprehension. 
You don't know how you don't 

774
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,600
know how God does it, but he 
does it. 

775
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:16,500
You don't know how he always 
comes through. 

776
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:21,500
But he does, you don't 
understand all of how he 

777
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:26,900
navigates things that, you know,
you need and it gets to you, you

778
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:32,400
don't Stand at all but he does. 
And listen, you don't have to 

779
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,300
know. 
It says then it will guard your 

780
01:00:35,300 --> 01:00:40,000
hearts and your minds. 
You see that is connected to 

781
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:44,300
your mind as well so therefore 
you ought to be sober in your 

782
01:00:44,300 --> 01:00:46,800
mind. 
Meaning you should not let all 

783
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,600
these worries concerns. 
All these things be so 

784
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,900
intoxicated that it's getting 
you so emotional. 

785
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,500
From day to day, that you are 
swarming around and can't even 

786
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:02,200
make a decision. 
Can't even function have to take

787
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,300
your Xanax. 
Come on. 

788
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:12,600
Eat them like candy today. 
People do. 

789
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:19,300
And this is why this is the 
answer, this is what people need

790
01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:24,300
and we must be demonstrating 
this in our own lives for us to 

791
01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:29,500
let people see that the word of 
God, and the power of God works.

792
01:01:29,700 --> 01:01:34,100
Then he says, finally, Brethren 
whatever is true, whatever is 

793
01:01:34,100 --> 01:01:37,500
Honorable, whatever is right, 
whatever is pure, whatever is 

794
01:01:37,500 --> 01:01:41,700
lovely, whatever is good repute 
if there are any excellence and 

795
01:01:41,700 --> 01:01:45,500
if anything, worthy of praise, 
These are the things that you're

796
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:51,500
to dwell on because when you 
have the gas prices, going up 

797
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:55,500
and food, shortages, and chain 
supply demands, and all these 

798
01:01:55,500 --> 01:02:00,500
things going on, you can start 
meditating and getting so 

799
01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:03,700
focused on all those things. 
Come on, but he lets us know. 

800
01:02:03,700 --> 01:02:06,200
We ought to be dwelling on 
things that are good. 

801
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:09,900
And really, the only thing good 
is right here. 

802
01:02:13,100 --> 01:02:17,500
You ought not to be listening to
the newscaster telling you how 

803
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:23,000
bad it is, right? 
You ought not to be meditating 

804
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,100
on what all your friends say it 
is and all the conspiracy 

805
01:02:27,100 --> 01:02:32,600
theories and all the Dalal 
hoopla just focus on the word in

806
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:36,300
your relationship on the word of
God. 

807
01:02:36,300 --> 01:02:38,400
And that's going to keep you 
straight. 

808
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,600
That's going to keep your mind 
sober. 

809
01:02:42,100 --> 01:02:45,800
That's going to keep your heart 
in a right place. 

810
01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:51,200
Come on in a place that's 
guarded and a place that's holy 

811
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,700
and pure before him. 
And a place that has only one 

812
01:02:54,700 --> 01:03:00,100
motive is that you want to see 
people delivered from the 

813
01:03:00,500 --> 01:03:03,700
insanity of this world. 
Amen. 

814
