1 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,120 So I want to start with Psalm 27 and I'm going to read to you 2 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,160 verses one through 6. Psalm 27 verse one says the Lord 3 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,680 is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? 4 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,720 The Lord is the strength of my life. 5 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,040 That ought to be your confession. 6 00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,320 That's got to be a confession that I want you to leave here 7 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,120 tonight. And and I want it's, it's 8 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,880 different if I say God's your strength. 9 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,280 It's different if I say don't fear, if God says don't fear. 10 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,600 But it's way bigger and way more impactful. 11 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,800 If you go home and say God is the strength of my life, I will 12 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,720 not fear, I will not be discouraged. 13 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,760 That's what provides power. You can know that the Word of 14 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,400 God says it, but if you're not saying it out of your mouth, 15 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,960 then it's not affecting you. So this, says the Lord, is the 16 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:21,320 strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? 17 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,680 When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies 18 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,160 and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 19 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,400 Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not 20 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,760 fear. Though war may rise against me, 21 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,640 and this will I be confident. One thing I have desired of the 22 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,760 Lord, and that will I seek, that I may dwell in the House of the 23 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,200 Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, 24 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,240 and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He 25 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,400 shall hide me in His pavilion. That is His thicket. 26 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760 That is A1 translation, says His Hut. 27 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,800 It means you're totally fenced in and totally protected. 28 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,320 He shall hide me in His pavilion. 29 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,480 In the secret place of His Tabernacle He shall hide me. 30 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,040 He shall set me high upon a rock, and now my head shall be 31 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,760 lifted up above my enemies all around me. 32 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,680 My head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me. 33 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:34,040 Therefore I will OfferUp sacrifices of joy in His 34 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,320 Tabernacle. I will sing, yes, I will sing 35 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,960 praises to the Lord. And when the scripture says the 36 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,160 Lord is the strength of your life, that word strength there 37 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840 is your quickening. It is a place of safety, 38 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880 protection, refugee, huge and a stronghold. 39 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,000 But you know the word of God, it has power in it. 40 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,720 And so when you speak that the the Lord is the strength of my 41 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:04,040 life, it quickens your body. It quickens your mind that the 42 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,640 Lord is the strength of your life. 43 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,600 Not that I can just tell you tonight you can walk out of here 44 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,120 and go awesome. The Lord is the strength of my 45 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,640 life. But if you go out of here and 46 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:17,760 you make that confession your own and starts you get up in the 47 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,160 morning and say, God, you're the strength of my life. 48 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,960 I will not fear, I will not be discouraged. 49 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040 I will not be moved to the right or to the left. 50 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,000 God, you're the strength of my life. 51 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,200 Although the, the the mountains may move, things may fall into 52 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680 the sea. I will not, my heart will not 53 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,960 fail. And I'm just telling you in the 54 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,600 last days, the things that are happening, the things that we're 55 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,680 seeing happening, you need to get on top of your mind and your 56 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,240 heart and you need to tell yourself you need to do like 57 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,280 what David did when he said soul, why are you downcast? 58 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,400 He had to talk to his his own soul and say, why are you 59 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,400 downcast? Oh my soul, put your hope in God 60 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,920 and you got to do that. Sometimes you got to look in the 61 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,880 mirror and go, why are you downcast? 62 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,880 Why are you discouraged? Put your hope in God and the the 63 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,480 quicker you learn how to not be led by what you see and what you 64 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,560 feel, the anxiety that tries to come, the better off you'll 65 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,520 because you're living by faith. OK, so let's go to Psalms 118. 66 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,600 Here's David again. You know, sometimes it's easy 67 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,280 for us to put our, our trust and our strength and our resources 68 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,720 and our connections and our, our status, our, our money, our 69 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,720 relationships, all of those things. 70 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,360 Sometimes it's easy for us to feel good about ourselves when 71 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,160 we have those things. But but really, the Bible says 72 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,960 your own righteousness is like filthy rags, and you ought to 73 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,640 think about that every day. There's not anything in my own 74 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,040 strength. It's all God and every good and 75 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,960 perfect gift comes from Him. And so I'm just going to give 76 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,880 him all the glory. It's not anything I can do. 77 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,400 If he gave me the ability to to make money, if he gave me the 78 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,480 ability to own a business, if he gave me the ability to do 79 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,280 anything, it's because He did it. 80 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,840 And I'm going to give him all the glory. 81 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,480 I'm not going to be like the Scripture and Deuteronomy that 82 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,320 says once you get into that land and that blessing, now don't you 83 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,200 forget, Don't you forget who gave that to you. 84 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:36,880 You ought to be real quick all the time to say, God, I'm so 85 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,120 thankful, Father, you're worthy. I'll give you all the glory all 86 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,520 the time, all the time. Psalms 118 says I called on the 87 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,600 Lord in distress and the Lord answered me and set me in a 88 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,400 broad place. The Lord is on my side and I 89 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,360 will not fear. What can man do to me? 90 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,840 Now listen to this next part. The Lord is my strength and my 91 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,360 song, and He has become my salvation. 92 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,040 You know, and I know probably a lot of you know this, but inside 93 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600 of salvation is everything that you need. 94 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,760 It's everything that God has done. 95 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:23,280 It's the peace that you need. It's the the quietness that you 96 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,160 need. It's the provision, it's the 97 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,520 health that you need. But one of the definitions for 98 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,840 salvation is that you're no longer molested by the enemy. 99 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,120 You're no longer, you know, tossed to and fro by every wind 100 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,960 of doctrine or every voice that comes at you. 101 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,640 You got to get really good when all those things come at you 102 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,040 that every day. I've shared this before. 103 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,480 When I was a little girl, I ran out of the house without my 104 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,080 shirt on and and I was little, so it wasn't that big a deal. 105 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,240 But but, but I was horrified. And I remember I ran outside 106 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,640 talking about being distracted. I ran outside and I was like, I 107 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,160 don't have a shirt on and I ran back in the house and I would, I 108 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,720 cried and I was so upset. And you know, a lot of times we 109 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,880 walk out of the house and we don't got our britches on and we 110 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,400 don't got our shirt on. I'm talking about in the spirit 111 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,000 now we come on, get, get, get back over. 112 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,000 We got to make sure we're putting on the full armor of God 113 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:35,360 every day, every day that the helmet of salvation. 114 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,200 I know who I am in Christ and I know in whom I believe the, the 115 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,800 belt of truth buckled around my waist, the breastplate of 116 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,160 righteousness in place. That means I I know that it's 117 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,560 him that gave me that righteousness and that's 118 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,360 protecting all my vital organs. So anytime something tries to 119 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,640 tell me different, I say no, no, I got my breastplate of 120 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,160 righteousness on. I got my feet fitted with the 121 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,320 gospel of peace. I've got the sword of the 122 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,120 Spirit, which is the word of God. 123 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,520 And that's the part that's the offense. 124 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,520 And that's the part that you got to be saying that you got to be 125 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,520 speaking out. Now let's go to Philippians 126 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,480 chapter one. I'm going to read Philippians 127 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:24,920 chapter 1 verses 27 through 30 in the amplified classic edition 128 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,920 because it just breaks it down so good. 129 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,720 Verse 27 says only be sure as citizens so to conduct 130 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,000 yourselves, that your manner of life will be worthy of the good 131 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,240 news of the gospel of Christ. So that whether I do come and 132 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,760 see you or I'm absent, I may hear this of you and this. 133 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,600 We want this to be said of us, that you are standing firm in 134 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,560 united spirit and purpose, striving side by side, and 135 00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:02,680 contending with a single mind for the faith of the glad 136 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:07,240 tidings, the gospel. Now listen to verse 28 and do 137 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:16,000 not for a moment be frightened. Do not for a moment be 138 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,960 frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and 139 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,640 adversaries, no matter what your opponents, no matter what your 140 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,320 adversaries bring to you, the scripture says. 141 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:35,200 Don't even for a moment be frightened or intimidated by 142 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,920 anything that they bring, for such constancy by you and 143 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:46,080 fearlessness will be a clear sign, proof and seal to them of 144 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:52,760 their impending destruction, but a sure token and evidence of 145 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,920 your deliverance and salvation and that from God. 146 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,520 I don't think y'all got that. So I'm going to read that verse 147 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,960 again. And do not for a moment be 148 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,760 frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and 149 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:14,760 adversaries, for such constancy and fearlessness will be a clear 150 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:21,040 sign, proof and seal to them of their impending destruction, but 151 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,960 a sure token and evidence of your deliverance and salvation 152 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,760 and that from God. And all of that is because you 153 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,640 didn't. For a moment, for one second, 154 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,200 you didn't allow fear or intimidation to stay in your 155 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,320 mind. Not for a moment in Luke 2119, 156 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,880 that scripture is talking about, you know, the last days, and it 157 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,400 says in your patience possess ye your soul. 158 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,040 And that scripture in another translation, what it means is in 159 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:05,360 your steadfastness, you possess your soul and all these things 160 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,760 that are happening in the these last day, last days that we're 161 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,880 living in, all the things that we're seeing, the scripture says 162 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,480 you need to possess your soul. You need to get on top of what's 163 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,680 happening up here. Because if you give, if you give 164 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:29,680 fear one second and then you give it 2 minutes and then you 165 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:34,160 give it about half an hour and then next thing you know you're 166 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,560 down in the ditch having a stronghold of the spirit of 167 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:42,040 fear. You can't give it a minute. 168 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:49,200 You can't give it a second. Second John chapter 2 says, I 169 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,000 wish and desire, brethren, above all things, that you would 170 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,880 prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. 171 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,520 And that word prosper means that there's a, there's a direct way 172 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,080 in your mind, There's an easy flow in your mind. 173 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,720 And how do you know that you're, that you are prospering in your 174 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,800 mind and that you're not yielding to fear, that you're 175 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,680 not worrying? Brother Hagin used to say, if 176 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,360 you're, if you're constantly thinking about something, you're 177 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,840 probably worrying about it. You wake up thinking about 178 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,840 something, you're probably worrying about it. 179 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,560 You got something on your mind all the time. 180 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:31,920 You've probably allowed worry to come in. 181 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 Worry and anxiety is really fear. 182 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,840 So in this time that we live in, if you're going to have the 183 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:48,040 victory, if you're not going to lose your mind, you can't let 184 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480 any of these things have even a second. 185 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,600 And you got to be that fiery about it. 186 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,600 The the Bible says the Kingdom of heaven is advancing and the 187 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:03,720 violent take it by force. You got to be that violent about 188 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360 it. You've got to practice peace. 189 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,600 You've got to be skillful about it. 190 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,600 It cost him everything for you to have a sound mind. 191 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,640 It cost him everything for you to be able to walk in peace. 192 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,320 So why do we walk around disturbed? 193 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,680 Why do we walk around with anxiety and fear and worry and 194 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:38,560 and being agitated about stuff? He paid for all of it so that 195 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:44,240 you could have a sound mind. Psalm 42 five is the Scripture 196 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,320 that I gave you about David saying, why are you in despair, 197 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,240 O my soul, and why have you become restless and disturbed 198 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,800 within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly 199 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,280 for him, for I shall again praise him for the help of his 200 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,880 presence. Psalm 23 from the Scripture we 201 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,880 just read about the the enemies. Don't you give them a second? 202 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,760 Don't you give them a minute? They're there and they're 203 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,600 talking. Psalm 23 says the Lord is my 204 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,080 shepherd. I shall not want. 205 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,720 He makes me to lie down in green pastures now Is that peaceful? 206 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,200 Green pastures is pretty peaceful. 207 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,320 He leads me beside the still waters. 208 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,440 Is that peaceful? He restores my soul. 209 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,560 He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's 210 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,600 sake. Yeah. 211 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,400 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 212 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,240 fear no evil, for you are with me. 213 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,560 Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 214 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,960 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. 215 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,120 You're seated at a table in the presence of your enemies. 216 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,760 You anoint my head with oil and my cup runneth over. 217 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,640 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my 218 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,640 life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. 219 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,040 I remember the first time I realized that I was seated at 220 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,120 the table and and my enemies were there and they were talking 221 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,480 and I was a Rhema student. I've shared this story before. 222 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,320 I was a Rhema student and I had pulled into my apartment and I 223 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,280 was listening to a, a teaching by Brother Hagin called Casting 224 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,360 Your Cares. And in that, in that teaching, 225 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,200 he started talking about Psalm 23 and how we're seated at the 226 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,680 table and how our enemies are there and they're talking to us 227 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,760 and they're saying stuff. But he started, he started 228 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,960 saying, well, just pass me the bowl of victory and then just 229 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,760 pass me the bowl of joy. I'm, I'm, I'm going to stay 230 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,040 seated right here. And I know they're talking and I 231 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,680 know they're saying stuff, but just pass me the bowl of, of 232 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,160 joy. Just pass me the bowl of peace. 233 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,040 Just pass me the bowl of provision. 234 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,680 And I got so excited listening to that, that I opened my car 235 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,720 door and took off running. It was at night and I just took 236 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,160 off running down the street and I didn't care. 237 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,560 And I didn't care who was watching because I learned that 238 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,080 I was seated at the table. And I learned that I had 239 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,360 authority over those voices that were talking to me. 240 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,360 And when I learned that that I had authority over them, I was 241 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,560 able to go, no, no, no, no, no. I know who you are. 242 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,760 I recognize that all you can do is lie. 243 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,240 All you can do is tell me who I'm not. 244 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,160 All you can do is tell me what I don't have and I'm just going 245 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,160 to, I'm going to stay seated in my place of victory. 246 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,640 Far above. You know, the scripture says 247 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,440 you're far above all rule and authority and power and 248 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,920 dominion. Far above it, You're far above. 249 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,560 You just sit here and and all those enemies and all those 250 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,520 little things are down there and they're under your feet. 251 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,520 Cygnus is under your feet. Whatever it is, it's under your 252 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,359 feet. And you can know it and you can 253 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,040 say, yes, Amen. But if you don't walk out of 254 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:27,000 here and you don't say it yourself and you don't get it in 255 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,360 your spirit and in your mind yourself, then you're just 256 00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:34,680 sitting up in here like Saul was when David came and played the 257 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,800 harp for him. And, and, and every time David 258 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,360 did that, there was an anointing and, and Saul was comforted and 259 00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,880 he had peace. And this church is not going to 260 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,800 be like those religious leaders who walk up in here and say 261 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:58,200 Hallelujah and then we walk out of here and we're all bound up. 262 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,880 That's not who we are. That's not who you are. 263 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,120 You get too good of teaching here and there's too great of a 264 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,920 body right here for you to be connected for you to walk out of 265 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:19,960 here and look all bound up. And if you're married and you 266 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,240 got a spouse that is all bound up, you better keep them 267 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,640 accountable and help them get out of their little thing. 268 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,280 Speak the word to them. You know, I was that way in the 269 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,000 beginning of, of my marriage. We're teaching marriage class 270 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,400 right now and, and we've shared this and I was a mess. 271 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,160 I was a Rhema student and I was, my mind was being renewed and, 272 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,560 you know, I was growing a lot, but I still had a lot of baggage 273 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,240 that I was carrying. And I was still emotional. 274 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,200 And I had, you know, some fits here and there. 275 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,200 And I remember I threw myself on the bed and I can't remember 276 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,520 why. I don't need you to pipe in. 277 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,800 I saw his eyebrows go like that. But I threw myself on the bed 278 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,360 and was pitching a fit. And he didn't, he didn't look at 279 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:19,480 me and say, what's wrong with you, woman? 280 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:24,000 He didn't do anything like that. He just stood there, just 281 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,440 watched me and said, you're a woman of God. 282 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,400 You're a woman of God. And, and in the beginning, and I 283 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,640 shared this with our class, in the beginning, I was like, 284 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,880 you're a liar. Quit saying that. 285 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,920 And and what he was doing was speaking faith to me. 286 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,600 And eventually it caused me to stand up a little taller, and it 287 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,800 caused me to go, yeah, I am that woman of God. 288 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,640 And you got to do that for your spouse. 289 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,960 If they're all bound up in the house and not live, and they can 290 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,800 come in here and run a lap and shout a victory and do 291 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,080 something, but they go home and get in their little depressed 292 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,800 bed, you better say something to them. 293 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,520 I don't know who that was for, but don't look at your spouse. 294 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:17,080 OK, Let's go to Acts 20, verses 22 through 24. 295 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:24,240 Oh my goodness, Acts 20 verses 22 through 24 says, and now you 296 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,760 see, I'm going to Jerusalem. This is this is Paul. 297 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,720 And there was all kinds of stuff that he was had to deal with 298 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:34,880 leading up to these verses. I'm going to Jerusalem bound by 299 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,040 the Holy Spirit and obligated and compelled by the convictions 300 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,560 of my own spirit, not knowing what will befall me there, 301 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:47,720 except that the Holy Spirit clearly and emphatically affirms 302 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,920 to me in city after city that imprisonment and suffering 303 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,120 awaits me. You heard that right. 304 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,560 OK. That imprisonment and suffering 305 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,560 awaits me. The Holy Spirit told him that 306 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,680 some of y'all would say, devil get behind me, that I'm. 307 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,720 That's not happening. I know that's the devil. 308 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,680 You better know the Holy Ghost well enough to know who's 309 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,040 talking to you. So he said the Holy Spirit 310 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,560 clearly and emphatically told him that imprisonment and 311 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,320 suffering awaited awaited him. And he said, But none of these 312 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,440 things move me. None of these things move me, 313 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:32,160 Neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish 314 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,760 my course with joy. And the ministry which I have 315 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,360 obtained from which was entrusted to me by the Lord 316 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:43,680 Jesus faithfully to attest to the good news, the gospel of 317 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,440 God's grace, His unmerited favors, spiritual blessing and 318 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,600 mercy. Everybody say none of these 319 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,840 things move me. That's another great confession. 320 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,200 When something comes, some trial comes right in your face that 321 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,560 you say. None of these things move me. 322 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:07,080 I will not be moved by this. Isaiah 12 two says, behold God 323 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,480 is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid 324 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,520 for Yahweh. The Lord is my strength and my 325 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,720 song. He also has become my salvation. 326 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,360 Psalm 18 says verse one, I will love you, O Lord, my strength. 327 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,880 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer. 328 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,840 Listen to this what David says. I love this scripture. 329 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,560 The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer, my 330 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:45,360 God, my strength, in whom I will trust my shield and the horn of 331 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:50,240 my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who 332 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,400 is worthy to be praised, So shall I be saved from my 333 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,680 enemies. The Lord is my rock and my 334 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,080 fortress, my deliverer, my God, my strength. 335 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,800 In him I will trust my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my 336 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,360 stronghold. What a great confession of 337 00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:13,600 faith. Psalms 28 verses 7 and 8 says 338 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,680 the Lord is my strength and my shield. 339 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,640 My heart trusts, trusts in him and I am helped. 340 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,400 He is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in him and I am 341 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,080 helped. Therefore my heart greatly 342 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,560 rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him. 343 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,480 The Lord is their strength, and He is the saving refuge of His. 344 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,680 Anointed. Anointed, that's you. 345 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Ephesians 610 says, finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord 346 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,360 and in the power of his might. You know where the word of the 347 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:54,600 King is, there's power. So when that says be strong in 348 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,160 the Lord, that means you can be strong in the Lord. 349 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,480 When he tells you do not be anxious, that means you don't 350 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,880 have to be anxious. When he tells you don't worry, 351 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,720 that means you don't have to worry. 352 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,800 That means he's giving you the power to do it, the power to 353 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,840 walk it out, the power to live it. 354 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,760 His commands are empowering Ephesians 610 and the classic, 355 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,720 amplified classic says in conclusion, be strong in the 356 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,880 Lord. Be empowered through your union 357 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,760 with Him. Draw your strength from Him, 358 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,520 that strength which is His boundless, His boundless might 359 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,880 provides. Draw your strength from Him, 360 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,960 that strength which His boundless might provides. 361 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,200 The greater 1 is in you, the greater 1 is in you. 362 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:50,480 You have the Holy Ghost in you. You have the same Spirit that 363 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,720 raised Christ Jesus from the dead living within you. 364 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,080 If you don't encourage yourself in the Lord, nobody's going to 365 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,080 do it. Nobody's going to do it for you. 366 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,760 I had to Get Me Out. What's his name? 367 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,800 Eddie James song today about being it's deliverance from your 368 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,400 enemies and they stumbled and fell and it's a song and I was 369 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,240 doing all that. Nobody was home and I was just 370 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,720 dancing, right? Because I had to get myself 371 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,200 together. I had, I had to get some stuff 372 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,000 off me. I had to get myself in a 373 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,200 position of joy. And it didn't take much for me 374 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,360 to step out in faith and do a little jig and the Holy Ghost 375 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:39,840 come and say I got you. I'm your strength, I'm your 376 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,280 shield, I'm your strong tower, I'm your peace. 377 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,920 It didn't take long for that to happen, but I had to. 378 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,840 I had to step out and do something. 379 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,760 Sometimes we get so stuck in our patterns and our ruts and our 380 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,640 strongholds and our our routines that we don't want to get out of 381 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,280 it. You got to get uncomfortable. 382 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,600 You got to step out and do some stuff, sometimes by faith. 383 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,960 I'm not talking about right now. I'm not asking anybody to take a 384 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,880 run right now. You can, but I'm not asking you 385 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,840 to do that. I'm talking about when you're in 386 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,040 your quiet place. I'm talking about when you're in 387 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,840 your car, when you're in the shower, when the bombardment of 388 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,640 thoughts is coming at you like this, that you're able to say 389 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280 the Lord is the strength of my life. 390 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,080 I'm seated far above this, and you've got to do that. 391 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,160 We've got to do that. I feel like I'm basketball 392 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,120 coaching right now, like I need everybody to huddle up. 393 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,400 I need everybody to just come huddle up and let's get together 394 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,360 and let's do some kind of chant or something. 395 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:03,560 We might have to do that. Thank you, Mr. Arraign Beast, 396 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:08,040 being strong is not just encouragement, it is the power 397 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,600 infused of the Holy Ghost on you. 398 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:16,760 Isaiah 4110 says fear not for I am with you. 399 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,480 Do not be dismayed for I am your God. 400 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,080 I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. 401 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,120 I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 402 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,480 These are Old Testament scriptures. 403 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,280 Isaiah is is talking about the day we live in. 404 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,440 But even the Psalms, when David sings and cries out and lays 405 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,000 things out before God, sometimes we are not doing that with God. 406 00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:52,160 We're not in a position to say, OK, Lord, I'm casting the weight 407 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,240 of my burden on you. There it is. 408 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,080 I see it. But I'm casting all of my care 409 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,840 on you because you care for me, because you sustain me, because 410 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,040 you quicken me. It's too easy for us to to do 411 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,840 this. It's too easy, easy for us to 412 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,440 get on social media. It's too easy for us to to be 413 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,600 busy about so many things that we're not taking time with him, 414 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,080 that we're not dwelling with him every moment that you can. 415 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,440 And if you don't do it the minute you get out of bed, those 416 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,840 little, those little, now, a lot of times it's your flesh most of 417 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,720 the time, like Pastor Chase said on Sunday and like the scripture 418 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,480 says. But those little demons, if they 419 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,480 know what your weak spot is, they're ready to send. 420 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:48,160 Do you ever wonder why people of the same offense and the same 421 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,640 stuff, they just all find each other? 422 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,600 Why does that happen? Why does that happen? 423 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,880 You think that's a coincidence that that happens? 424 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,960 Nope. That that, that the demonic, the 425 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,200 spirit realm is more real than what you see right now. 426 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,280 And if there's a weakness and you've released it out of your 427 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,560 mouth and there's an offense and you've released it out of your 428 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:23,040 mouth, then there they are. There they are to, to go and, 429 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,400 and, and get everybody all together and on the same page. 430 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,320 But we have authority over them. That's why you got to watch what 431 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,040 you're saying and what you're thinking. 432 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:39,160 Psalm 46. God is our refuge and strength. 433 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,680 Oh my Lord, thank you, Father, thank you that you're our refuge 434 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,240 and our strength in this season of life. 435 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,160 Thank you, Father God, with everything that's going on in 436 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:57,840 the last days, I thank you, Lord, that you're our strength 437 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,040 and you're our refuge. And we will not fear. 438 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,800 We will not fear. We will not give way, we will 439 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,520 not yield. We'll be strong in you and in 440 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,160 the power of your mind. We thank you, Lord, that you are 441 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:22,080 our strength and our refuge. We can run up into You and we 442 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,800 are safe. We can run up into your 443 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,360 pavilion, we can run up into your refuge and we're saved. 444 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,960 And we thank you for that. We honor you for that. 445 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,640 We give you all the glory and all the praise and we won't 446 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,040 forget. We won't forget. 447 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,480 We won't walk out of here and forget who you are and that the 448 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:51,200 Holy Ghost is right there to help and to guide and to 449 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,160 quicken. Holy Spirit, we thank you. 450 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:02,160 What a gift you are to us. What a gift you are. 451 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,400 Holy Ghost, we're so grateful and we will do everything that 452 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:15,520 we can not to grieve you, not to quench you, not to put you out 453 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,560 in our own lives, in our own heart. 454 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,480 When you speak, we'll be quick to trust, quick to obey. 455 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,240 Have your way, Holy Spirit. We give you all the praise and 456 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:33,240 all the glory, all the glory. God is our refuge and He's our 457 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,920 strength. He's our very present help and 458 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,760 trouble. Therefore we will not fear. 459 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,440 Even though the earth be removed, and though the 460 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,920 mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though its 461 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,960 waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with 462 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:58,200 its swelling, we will not fear. Isaiah 5414 says In 463 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,280 righteousness you shall be established. 464 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,360 In righteousness you shall be established. 465 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,240 So much I could say right here. I need to flip my hair. 466 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:17,600 OK, I'm sweating, all right, righteousness, is it bigger? 467 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,720 All right, right. They're not videoing so I can do 468 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,040 what I want up here. Isaiah 5414 and righteousness 469 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,240 you shall be established. That is His righteousness. 470 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,240 That is who you are in Him. This is your foundation. 471 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,080 This is who you are. When the Hebrews talks about 472 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,400 those who are are still babies are not skilled in the word of 473 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,000 righteousness, you know what that means? 474 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,760 It means we don't know who we are. 475 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,920 It means we haven't learned. This word of righteousness is 476 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,960 not a religious word. It is. 477 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,240 That's why the the Bible says seek first the Kingdom of God 478 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,920 and his righteousness and all those other things will be added 479 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,600 to you. Because in Isaiah 54, you know, 480 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,560 in the church world, not y'all, but in the church world, people 481 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,360 love to quote verse 17, No weapon formed against me shall 482 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,040 prosper. I'm more than a conqueror. 483 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,840 And it does say that, but you got to scoot up, back up to 484 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,240 verse 14, where it says in righteousness you shall be 485 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,800 established. You shall be far from oppression 486 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,640 and you shall not fear and from terror, for it shall not come 487 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,000 near. Terror shall not come near to 488 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,720 you. 1000 may fall at your side, 10,000 at your right hand, but 489 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:50,520 it will not come near you. You shall be far from 490 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,960 oppression, you shall not fear, and from terror shall not come 491 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,400 near you. And then jump down to verse 17. 492 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,800 Because you understand this righteousness, no weapon formed 493 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,960 against you shall prosper. Because you understand who you 494 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,280 are in Christ, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. 495 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,840 And every tongue which rises against you in judgement you 496 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,960 shall condemn. This is the heritage of the 497 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,880 servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me, says 498 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,199 the Lord. Psalm 34. 499 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,719 Psalm 34. I will bless the Lord at all 500 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,520 times. His praise shall continually be 501 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,239 in my mouth before I finish reading this. 502 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,440 When we went to Rhema, Keith Moore was one of our instructors 503 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,120 and and he taught a class called Praise Life. 504 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:48,960 And in Praise Life, every single day we had to quote this 505 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,360 scripture. And you didn't always feel like 506 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,920 it. You didn't always want to, but 507 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,080 he didn't care. He didn't care if you wanted to 508 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,720 stand up every. I'm not telling you stand up, 509 00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:03,480 but He's everybody. Stand up. 510 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,560 And we would say, I will bless the Lord at all times. 511 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,280 His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 512 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord. 513 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,000 The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 514 00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,000 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. 515 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,200 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and He delivered me from all 516 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,840 my fears. The scripture says that I just 517 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,840 read, I'll bless the Lord at all times, and His praise will 518 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:44,160 always be in my mouth. And then it goes on to say, He 519 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,280 delivered me from all my fears. Now jump down to verse 7. 520 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,000 The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and 521 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,520 delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord 522 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,840 is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in 523 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,720 him. Oh, fear the Lord, you his 524 00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:02,960 Saints. Listen. 525 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:06,480 There is no want to those who fear him. 526 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:10,880 There is no lack to those who fear Him. 527 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,080 The Young Lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the 528 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,600 Lord shall not lack any good thing. 529 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,880 Come, you children, listen to me. 530 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,840 I will teach you the fear of the Lord, who is the man who desires 531 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,360 life and loves many days, that he may see good. 532 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,800 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. 533 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,720 Depart from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. 534 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:45,160 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open 535 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,600 to their cry. The face of the Lord is against 536 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,840 those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the 537 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,360 earth. The righteous cry out, and the 538 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,480 Lord hears and delivers them out of all their trouble, all their 539 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,480 troubles. Are you troubled? 540 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,200 The scripture says He delivers you out of all your troubles, 541 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,560 all of them. The Lord is near to those who 542 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:15,280 have a broken heart and saves such as has a contrite spirit. 543 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,640 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers 544 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,480 him out of them all, all of them. 545 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,320 Second Timothy 110 says, God did not give you a spirit of fear, 546 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000 but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. 547 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:40,040 You cannot leave your mind unattended, not for one second, 548 00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,880 not for one second. Pressure is going to come, cares 549 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,440 are going to come, worries going to come, fear is going to come. 550 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,160 You cannot leave this alone for one second. 551 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,400 You're the one that has to take authority. 552 00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,240 Everything is brand new in Christ, in your spirit man. 553 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,120 God lives in you. But then he tells you now, OK, 554 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:10,040 now be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 555 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,320 So you're the one that has to grab hold of these scriptures. 556 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,520 That's why I said this should be a, a shot in the arm for you 557 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,960 tonight, that you go home and go, I'm going to Psalm 34. 558 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,440 I'm going to say that Psalm 27, the Lord is the strength of my 559 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,120 life. That's going to be my confession 560 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,360 of faith that you do it, that you grab hold of it, that you 561 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:35,040 say it, that you meditate on it. God didn't give you a spirit of 562 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,160 fear. Don't give place to it. 563 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,160 You know the Bible says don't give the enemy a foothold. 564 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,480 Well, if you think long enough on something, yeah, he's going 565 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,680 to have a foothold. If you remember for not one 566 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,800 second, not one moment, don't yield to fear. 567 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,360 Not one moment. Isaiah 26 verses 3 and 4 says 568 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,040 you will keep him in perfect peace. 569 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:07,920 Whose mind is stayed on you, You will keep him in perfect peace. 570 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,680 Whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you. 571 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,320 Trust in the Lord forever. For Yahweh the Lord is 572 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,760 everlasting strength. Psalm 5522 says, cast your 573 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,440 burden on the Lord and He will sustain you. 574 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,400 He will never permit the righteous to be moved. 575 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,800 He will never permit the righteous to be moved. 576 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:38,000 John chapter 14, John chapter 14, verse one says let not your 577 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,320 heart be troubled. In other words, do not let your 578 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,480 heart be troubled. And then if you jump down to 579 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:50,800 verse 27, it says peace I leave with you, and my peace I give 580 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,440 you. Not as the world gives do I give 581 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,520 you. Let not your heart be troubled, 582 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,920 and neither let it be afraid. Peace is not feeling good. 583 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:06,840 Peace is a supernatural power. And you know if you've 584 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:12,000 experienced the peace of God or not, because the peace of God 585 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,560 will come in the middle of a trial. 586 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,400 The peace of God will come in the middle of what feels like 587 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,680 the hardest thing of your life. The peace of God will come and 588 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,600 flood your mind, and that's where it is is in your mind. 589 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,880 You'll have peace in your spirit, but you'll have peace in 590 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,880 your mind. There's not anxiety, there's not 591 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:42,320 fear racing around Psalm 5522. Cast your burden on the Lord and 592 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,760 he'll sustain you. He'll never permit the righteous 593 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,040 to be moved. Peace He leaves with you. 594 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,360 We can't be double minded. You know James talks about the 595 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,440 double minded man is unstable in all of his ways. 596 00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:03,400 Wrong thinking opens the door. Wrong meditation opens the door. 597 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,600 You cannot give the enemy a foothold. 598 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,160 You know, the Bible says that God sits in the heavens and he 599 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,480 laughs. All these things are happening, 600 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,800 all these things are going on. His enemies are there, but it 601 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,400 says he sits in the heavens and he laughs. 602 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,800 Can you sit and and just laugh? Can you by faith just get peace? 603 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,400 I've shared many times and I've had many laughs since then. 604 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,960 But in the beginning of our marriage, my husband, while we 605 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,000 were laying in the bed, decided and I was frustrated about 606 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,440 something and I think he was too. 607 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,400 There's something going on. I don't remember what it was. 608 00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:46,640 And he just laid down and went ha ha, ha. 609 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,480 And I was like, cut it out, what are you doing? 610 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,800 And he was like, ha, ha, ha. I am not going to be moved. 611 00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:01,040 And I thank God for that example because that example of faith is 612 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,520 what caused me next to the Lord Jesus to be where I'm at today, 613 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,440 to be. We're in a position where I can 614 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,280 say I won't be moved. Ha, ha, ha. 615 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,600 I'm not moved by that. Yeah, I see it. 616 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,360 Yeah, the enemy's there. But I'm not moved by that. 617 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,280 I want to. I want to close with Psalm 27 618 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,160 again, again. I want to read it again now that 619 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,720 we've gone through some of these other scriptures. 620 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,200 The Lord is my light and my salvation. 621 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,360 Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my 622 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,120 life. Of whom shall I be afraid? 623 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,480 When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies 624 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,760 and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 625 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,080 Though an army may camp around him against me, my heart shall 626 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,040 not fear. The war may rise against me, and 627 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,200 this will I be confident. One thing I have desired of the 628 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,760 Lord, and that will I seek, that I may dwell in the House of the 629 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:12,600 Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, 630 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,040 and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He 631 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:24,960 shall hide me in His pavilion, in His thicket, in his in His 632 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:30,920 Hut, in his fence, in his strong tower, in the secret place of 633 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,160 His Tabernacle, He shall hide me. 634 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:40,160 He shall set me high upon a rock, and now my head shall be 635 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,360 lifted up above my enemies. All around me, therefore, I will 636 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,680 offer sacrifices of joy. In His Tabernacle. 637 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,280 I will sing. Yes, I will sing praises to the 638 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:55,720 Lord.
