1 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,320 I want to focus on the next point, but I want to read out of 2 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,480 John. I did not read this last week 3 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,160 and I want to read this about out of John 21 verses 15 through 4 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,880 17, John 2115 through 17. It says this. 5 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,920 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon, 6 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,320 Peter, Simon son of Jonah, do you love me more than these? 7 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,080 And he said to him, yes Lord, you know that I love you. 8 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:50,720 And he said to him, feed my lambs. 9 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,760 Now, this is Jesus, right, talking to Peter who is getting 10 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:03,760 ready to what? Help usher in the church and 11 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,520 help usher in the church. And he's listen to what? 12 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,400 Listen to the discourse that he's having with Peter. 13 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,480 He said to him, feed my lambs. Now look at this. 14 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,160 He's letting him know we're getting ready to usher in the 15 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:26,160 church because we know on the day of Pentecost, right, 3000 16 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:32,520 were added to the church and we see that now we have a bunch of 17 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:37,440 baby lambs. Lambs are babies. 18 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,160 They're baby sheep. So look at the process of him 19 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200 talking to Peter. Listen, you're going to have to 20 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,720 feed my little babies. You're going to have to feed my 21 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,720 lambs. He and and look at the 22 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,480 progression. And he said to him again a 23 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,000 second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? 24 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,160 And he said, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. 25 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,000 And he said to him, tend my sheep again. 26 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,880 Now you're not a lamb, you're a sheep, which again shows us that 27 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,160 growth process that he expects for his sheeple, right? 28 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,200 That we are to grow and mature. And no matter the place of 29 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,480 growth that we're in, he still wants us to be fed. 30 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,560 He still wants us to be tended to. 31 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,240 He still wants us to be cared for. 32 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,880 And he see this example of what he's showing him. 33 00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:32,600 And then he goes on to say, and he said to him a third time, 34 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,520 Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? 35 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,280 And Peter was grieved because he said to him a third time, do you 36 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,280 love me? And he said to him, Lord, you 37 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,160 know all things, you know that I love you. 38 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,200 And Jesus said to him, look at here feed my sheep. 39 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,720 This is and this one right here. Feed my sheep is a place of 40 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,680 maturity. No matter what age you get, God 41 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,840 wants you to have a shepherd in your life to feed you, to care 42 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,960 for you, to take care of you, to help guide you, to help lead you 43 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,720 into the right pastures. Amen. 44 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,840 Hallelujah. And so I just wanted to read 45 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,160 that one to you guys again because he's he's breaking it 46 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,400 down for Peter. That's getting ready to have to 47 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,120 pastor this church, that's getting ready to come in in the 48 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,120 book of Acts. OK, look at Isaiah 4011. 49 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,080 Isaiah 4011 out of the amplified. 50 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,800 It says this. He will protect his flock like a 51 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,800 shepherd, and He will gather the lambs in His arm, He will carry 52 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,280 them in His bosom, and He will gently, carefully lead those 53 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,960 nursing their young. Look at the care or the nature 54 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,120 of the shepherd here. Think about this with your Walt, 55 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,200 with the Lord as He is your shepherd. 56 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,000 Think about how he wants to care for you no matter what you're 57 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,480 going through. Think about how He just wants to 58 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,640 bring you into his bosom and love you and care for you and 59 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,480 guide you and protect you all the days of your life. 60 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,680 Amen. And so let's go to the next 61 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,600 point of Psalms 23 #4 It says this, that He refreshes and 62 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:33,880 restores my soul. He refreshes and restores my 63 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,080 soul. The Good Shepherd, the Chief 64 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,480 Shepherd, the Great Shepherd always wants restoration in your 65 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,320 life. Always. 66 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,880 He always wants to bring restoration, period. 67 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:58,560 He wants to restore to you what the devil has stolen from your 68 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,480 life. He wants to bring restoration to 69 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,840 you spiritually. He wants to bring restoration to 70 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,920 you physically. He wants to bring restoration to 71 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:18,640 you mentally. That's where he says he restores 72 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,320 your soul, your mind, your will, and your emotions. 73 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,400 He wants them restored from the trauma that you may have 74 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,120 experienced and that probably every single one of us has 75 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,480 experienced. No matter how good of a life we 76 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,960 may have thought we lived, if it was done outside of Christ, we 77 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,680 were damaged. Period. 78 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:53,160 And he wants to restore it all back to us, Every bit of it. 79 00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:01,880 Every bit of it because He's a loving, loving Father and He 80 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,320 loves us. Amen. 81 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,480 So he wants to restore. He wants to restore 82 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,160 relationships that have, I know many of you that had broken 83 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,400 relationships that before you came to this church. 84 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,400 And God has redeemed and restored relationships that you 85 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,960 thought you would never have again with your children, with 86 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,240 your family. Come on, He wants to bring 87 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,560 restoration to relationships. That's why no matter what we 88 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,080 encounter with one another, restoration should always be the 89 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,920 first thing that we want in whatever situation it is that 90 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,480 we're going through, because that is the heart of our 91 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,400 shepherd. Restoration period, 92 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,640 reconciliation period. That's what he wants in our 93 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,800 lives. He wants us to be restored 94 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,600 materially. He wants us to be restored 95 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,280 individually, right? I mean, it's so personal in all 96 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000 arenas of our life. He wants full restoration. 97 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:18,000 He wants original intent. He wants an original intent to 98 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,880 where there was no barrier between you and God ever again 99 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:28,360 because of anything that you had experienced from the sin nature 100 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,920 or from the tyrannical rule of the devil. 101 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:40,640 He wants it all restored, and right here is where most of that 102 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,160 restoration has to take place, right here. 103 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,360 And so first Peter 225 says this, for you were continually 104 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,680 wandering like so many sheep, but now you have come back to 105 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,880 the shepherd, the guardian of your souls. 106 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:08,680 You see that you've come back to the Shepherd and now his number 107 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,480 one thing in your life as the Good Shepherd and seeing him in 108 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:20,960 this facet of, of God is that he wants to be the guardian of your 109 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:31,320 soul to bring restoration in every wicked, twisted, messed up 110 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,640 thought that you may have about yourself. 111 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,080 He wants it restored. He doesn't want you to have a 112 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:54,240 messed up, twisted mind of inferiority, of insecurities, of 113 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,280 rejection. He doesn't want any of that for 114 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,480 your life anymore. He wants to restore it, and if 115 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,480 we allow him to be the guardian of it, guess what he'll do? 116 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,680 He'll lead us and guide us and give us. 117 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:17,320 He'll feed us what we need for every one of those things, those 118 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:24,400 thoughts to eradicate them so that you never have to look at 119 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,640 yourself like that again. You'll never have to think about 120 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,360 yourself like that again. You'll forget. 121 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,640 That's the old man. He's dead. 122 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,320 I don't even remember that anymore because you know what? 123 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,960 That is not me. That is not who I am. 124 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,640 You see what I'm saying? So he wants to be the guardian 125 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,440 of our soul, and he wants complete restoration in all of 126 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,200 these areas in our life. Look at Acts chapter 3, verses 127 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,640 19 through 21. Acts 319 through 21, it says 128 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,760 this. So repent, change your inner 129 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240 self. I love the way that it says this 130 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:11,080 about repentance here because again, a lot of times we can get 131 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,320 in a place of thinking repentance is only about things 132 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,560 we can do outside. You know what I mean? 133 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:23,320 Like, I've got to change this behavior, but change behavior 134 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:34,760 only starts from the inside. Changed behavior only starts 135 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:42,760 from the inside, period. When you do it from the outside, 136 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,360 it's behavioral modification. Isn't that what we teach our 137 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,720 teen, our kids at Washington? What's going on in your heart 138 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,520 that's making you do this behavior? 139 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,920 And we don't want to deal with behavioral modification. 140 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,280 We want to deal with what's going on in the inner man to 141 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:12,040 make a real change. And when you realize that that's 142 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,040 what God wants to do in your life, works won't even be a part 143 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:23,440 of your thinking because you'll realize I can't do anything out 144 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:33,560 here to change anything. I can only do it here. 145 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:41,360 And then when I do it here, it's going to change what's out here. 146 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,520 See what I'm saying? So that's why I like the way 147 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,600 this reads out of the Amplified. Here in Acts 3/19/21 it says so 148 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,080 change your inner self, your old way of what thinking? 149 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,000 Regret past sins and return to God. 150 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,160 Seek His purpose for your life so that your sins would be wiped 151 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,400 away and blotted out completely erased, right? 152 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,080 Because this is the favorable year of the Lord. 153 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:20,320 This is the church age, the age of grace, the the, the age where 154 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:28,280 mercy is ever present. His love is always available. 155 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,960 Hallelujah. Judgment will come one day, but 156 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,560 it's not that dispensation yet, right? 157 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,920 So again, when we realize what he's saying here and it, it all 158 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,080 has to do with what's going on in the heart. 159 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:55,000 Because remember God saying man looks at the outside, but God 160 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,520 looks at the heart. It's always been about what's 161 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:06,800 going on in here because what you see out here is a direct 162 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,520 result of what's going on in here. 163 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:20,640 OK, so it says your sins have been blotted out. 164 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,840 That's why he says, you know that this is the the Jubilee 165 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,600 year, so to speak. Remember we talked about that, 166 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,000 about the anointing, Your sins has been blotted out completely 167 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,680 erased. So that what times of refreshing 168 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:45,320 you see this? So that times of refreshing may 169 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,520 come from the presence of the Lord. 170 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:54,680 The Lord is your Shepherd, and He wants to refresh your soul. 171 00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:59,120 He wants to restore your soul. He wants you to be able to 172 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:05,880 experience refreshing at all times within your life, so that 173 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,440 for refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. 174 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,720 Listen to this in the amplified restoring you like a cool wind 175 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,520 on a hot day. Hallelujah, that's what He'll do 176 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:24,040 in your life for you. Glory to God, He'll come in and 177 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:29,240 bring a time of a wind blowing through and just refreshing your 178 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,120 soul. Come on, He can do a new thing 179 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,080 in you if you'll just look to Him as your shepherd. 180 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,440 Hallelujah. Oh, he's my shepherd. 181 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,520 Come on. And you know what? 182 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,960 There's going to be times of refreshing and the restoration 183 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920 of my soul. And you know what's so good 184 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,040 about this is that you can have it constantly. 185 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,920 If the Holy Ghost, if you are born again and the Holy Ghost 186 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,840 lives on the inside of you, come on, then you have access to the 187 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:09,280 refreshing at all times. At all times, no matter what 188 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,400 you're going through, glory to God, you can have a time of 189 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,040 refreshing for your soul. And what is so awesome about 190 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,720 this is because listen, he knows that we are in a fallen broken 191 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,080 world. And he even said, and James, in 192 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:33,960 this world, in this life, you will enter trials, tribulations, 193 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,600 There's gonna be circumstances. Just because we're born again 194 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,280 doesn't mean that we have no problems. 195 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,080 No, we're walking in a fallen, broken world with a lot of 196 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,640 people that still have sin nature. 197 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,360 Wickedness is prevailing. He the devil is still the God of 198 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,040 this world and all of his systems. 199 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,280 That's why I'm telling you, in these last days, we have to 200 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,800 guard our heart even more for having compassion on people. 201 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,920 Because, you know, I just was told this very night that people 202 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,720 that had put out Amendment 4 signs in their yard, listen, 203 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,360 This is why I'm telling you this. 204 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,720 They put out these signs in their yard and every day they'd 205 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,600 come out and they were missing. So somebody was yanking them up. 206 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,920 So he was out one day looking and seeing it missing and 207 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,680 somebody drove by him and screamed out at him. 208 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:43,080 I hope your daughter gets one day that is pure evil and 209 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,240 wickedness. And thank God this guy from our 210 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,320 church had the Holy Ghost on the inside of him to restrain 211 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,040 himself. But that makes you not want to 212 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:09,240 have compassion, because if I love you, Lord, that he would 213 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:15,280 say that that he wished that guy's daughter would be raped 214 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:24,079 one day. I sometimes wish we were still 215 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:35,900 back in the old covenant, but I'm working on my compassion. 216 00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:39,220 Y'all? Don't get me started. 217 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:44,800 See what I hear before we come in to minister the word and I'm 218 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,520 dealing with compassion and then they don't tell me something 219 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:58,400 like that. This is the real world we're 220 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,240 living in. And so every day we're going to 221 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:09,640 have to choose again, we know this, to put on love, but not 222 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,760 only putting on love, putting on and seeing people with the 223 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:22,440 compassion that our Good Shepherd had for them. 224 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,000 Because if they don't repent, right? 225 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:41,160 So where was I at? Yes, so that times of refreshing 226 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,720 may come from the presence of the Lord restoring you like a 227 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,800 cool wind on a hot day, and that you may send to and that he may 228 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,720 send to you Jesus Christ, who has a been appointed for you 229 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,400 from heaven and must keep until the time. 230 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:06,120 Listen to this for complete restoration of all things about 231 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:11,560 which God promised through the mouth of his holy prophets from 232 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,560 the ancient of times. It's always been about 233 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:20,360 restoring, restoring always back to the original intent that He 234 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:23,240 had for man. Complete restoration. 235 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,360 Complete restoration and so we have to focus on that about and 236 00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:33,760 from our Good Shepherd that listen, if things are still 237 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,480 going on in our lives, you know what he wants us restored. 238 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,120 He wants us restored. Hallelujah. 239 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,760 Psalms 5110 says create in me a clean heart, O Lord, and renew a 240 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,480 right steadfast spirit within me. 241 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,040 You see that renew a right steadfast spirit within me 242 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,520 because we're going to have to do that as long as we are 243 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:06,080 walking in this earth. And as the day grows darker and 244 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:12,120 sins abounding, yes, his light abounds even more, but that 245 00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:14,120 doesn't mean that we're not going to. 246 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,480 We have to make sure we don't become desynthesized to the 247 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,400 wickedness and the sin. Because that's when we'll lose 248 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:30,920 our compassion, you see that? That's when we'll lose it if we 249 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:39,560 become desynthesized to it. Psalms 51 and 12, restore to me 250 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:46,080 the joy of your salvation and uphold me by your generous 251 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,880 spirit. You see that restore, even your 252 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:56,960 salvation needs to be restored. You have to stir yourself up. 253 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:01,000 You have to stir your salvation up. 254 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280 You have to stir it up. That's why he says you can't 255 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,680 forget what the blood, the price, the blood is paid for 256 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,280 you, right? And you have to stir up the fact 257 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,640 that I'm born again, that I'm saved. 258 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:25,120 Come on and remember where I was to stir up the fact I'm born 259 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:30,880 again, I'm saved, I have joy, I'm excited that I am the Lord's 260 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,800 Amen, Hallelujah. Because if we don't stir it up, 261 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,240 This is why people what they call backslide. 262 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,080 But He wants to refresh you. He wants to bring joy In the 263 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,240 midst of times in your life that maybe you feel dry or you're not 264 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,400 excited about your life in Christ anymore, Well, guess 265 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,840 what? You never have to not be. 266 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,480 All you have to do is stir it back up and ask the Holy Spirit, 267 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,960 the Good Shepherd, Amen, to help restore unto you the joy, the 268 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,600 excitement of your salvation, that I'm saved, I'm born again, 269 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,280 I'm Spirit filled. Come on, Hallelujah, I'm 270 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,080 redeemed from the curse. Come on, I'm redeemed from the 271 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,680 curse of the law, Glory to God, Hallelujah. 272 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,480 And I'm excited. We have to stir it up. 273 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,800 We have to stir it up. Jeremiah 3017 says this. 274 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,280 For I will restore again. I'm letting you see all the 275 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,680 areas of life that he wants to restore you. 276 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:49,800 And for I will restore even your health, and I will heal you of 277 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,040 all your wounds, declares the Lord, because they have called 278 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,840 you an outcast, saying it is I and no one cares for her. 279 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,080 Listen, He wants to restore even your health in your body. 280 00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:06,440 Everything come on your physical body. 281 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:13,080 I'm telling you that's why you can again every year be being 282 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,520 restored. You go home to your you know, 283 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:23,840 your what are they called reunions, family reunions or 284 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,480 high school reunions and you look at people that aren't born 285 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,000 again and you looking good. They're broke down on every 286 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,840 medicine known to man. Come on. 287 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,800 They look can't barely even walk at your age. 288 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,640 Look all beat up, tattered, broken. 289 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,040 Come on. And you got to remind yourself 290 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,720 of that. No, I'm strong in the Lord and 291 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,160 the power of his might. He brought health and healing to 292 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,200 me to restore my body so that I can be running like Caleb and 293 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,640 Joshua. Come on, in my 80s and taking a 294 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:07,720 mountain and that's what he wants, complete restoration in 295 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,920 your body. Hallelujah, health and healing 296 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,360 because we're going to see here in a minute. 297 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,560 You going to walk through some shadows? 298 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,400 I know people that's walk through the shadow of death. 299 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,200 Hallelujah. But they had to had to call on 300 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,760 the Good Shepherd. Come on. 301 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,960 So Isaiah 40 says this, and 29 through 31 says he gives 302 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,280 strength to the weary, and to him who has no might he 303 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,800 increases power. Even youths grow weary and 304 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,880 tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly. 305 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:57,600 But those who wait on the Lord, who expect and look for and hope 306 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,400 in, will gain new strength and renew their power. 307 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,320 Oh Hallelujah. They will lift up their wings 308 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,320 and rise up to close up close to God, like eagles rising toward 309 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,120 the sun. They will run and not grow 310 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:15,760 weary. They will walk and not grow 311 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:25,200 tired and will not grow tired. So your strength, your body can 312 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:34,960 be renewed day by day, day by day, day by day. 313 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:42,560 Hallelujah. So He leads me #5 He leads me in 314 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,920 the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. 315 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,520 So here is a promise of guidance that he will always be there to 316 00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:00,080 lead and guide you because that's what a shepherd does, 317 00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:04,800 period. That is one of his main 318 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:10,320 assignments is to lead and guide the sheep also so that they 319 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,640 don't fall off the Cliff. Come on, So they don't fall off 320 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,240 in a Creek and get their things all. 321 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,880 Have you seen? I saw a meme, you know, 322 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,000 scrolling through those reels and I saw a meme of a sheep. 323 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,080 And I can't remember what the little the little saying was, 324 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:39,600 but the sheep was trying to run and jump over the Creek, but he 325 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:46,680 kept falling in the Creek. And so he pulled the shepherd 326 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,000 pulls him out and he takes off and runs again and tries to run, 327 00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:54,160 run over or jump over the same Creek and falls in the Creek. 328 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:04,000 So again, God is there to help us, to lead us into places that 329 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:10,880 we're not going to fail. We're not going to fail if we'll 330 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,600 trust in him to lead us and guide us as a Good Shepherd. 331 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,800 And he's going to, like I said, always lead us to a place of 332 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,600 security, to a place of rest. He's always going to lead us to 333 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,960 peace. He's always going to lead us to 334 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,080 restoration. This is how he's leading us. 335 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,560 He's always leading us into green pastures where we can be 336 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,080 sure that we are going to get fed properly, that we're going 337 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,000 to be able to lie in those green pastures and kick our feet back. 338 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,240 Come on. Because he's provided everything 339 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,120 for us. That's where he's leading us. 340 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:52,480 He's not leading us to a place of lack or want. 341 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,920 He's leading us to paths of everything that we need, 342 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,160 everything. That's how he leads us and 343 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,760 that's how he guides us. And so He's leading us into 344 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,640 paths of righteousness for his namesake so that He can be 345 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,560 glorified, so that when people see how you're always being led 346 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:19,160 by God in every situation and coming out on top and people 347 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,120 recognize me. And you just went through this 348 00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:25,000 situation and, and, and you ought to say, but I didn't go 349 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,040 through it alone because I had a guide. 350 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,920 I had a helper. Come on. 351 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:34,600 I had a Good Shepherd that was leading me into places of 352 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,280 righteousness, that was leading me into victory. 353 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,040 Come on, that was leading me into the good places. 354 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:47,240 Glory to God, not into the dry wilderness. 355 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,640 Hallelujah. No, the only time we saw people 356 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,240 going into the dry wilderness is because they wanted to stay 357 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:06,410 there. But He's going to lead us and 358 00:29:06,410 --> 00:29:11,840 guide us into places of refreshing, into good pastures. 359 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,120 Amen. Romans 814. 360 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,960 This is why it's so wonderful that we have been given the Holy 361 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,520 Spirit, Amen. For all who are allowing 362 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,800 themselves, listen to that, who are allowing themselves. 363 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,520 Because we cannot allow ourselves to be LED. 364 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:38,440 Don't be a goat. Because, you know, there's 365 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,640 sheeple and there's goats right here. 366 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:50,520 They haven't been separated yet. But I don't want to talk about 367 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,640 the stubborn goats anyway, because I have compassion. 368 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,160 So we want to be let. We want to allow Him to lead us 369 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,040 into the right places at the right time. 370 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,480 Come on in the right season, doing the right thing so that 371 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,200 His name can be glorified at all times through our lives. 372 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,240 So that when people see us, they can see us always on top and 373 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,400 never on the bottom. Come on, isn't that what he 374 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,720 said? We'll be above and not beneath. 375 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:33,120 Come on, if you'll just simply follow Him, you'll be blessed, 376 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,960 and if you don't, there's a curse. 377 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,920 Proverbs 36 says this in all your ways. 378 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,880 Know and acknowledge and recognize Him and He will make 379 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,320 your paths. What straight? 380 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,560 He'll make them straight. He's not there to confuse you, 381 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,160 to get you lost, to get you down a road that you don't know where 382 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,920 you're at. Get you lost. 383 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,200 No, he's going to lead you straight there on a straight 384 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,640 path, and you'll be able listen to what it says. 385 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:17,480 A straight and smooth, removing all obstacles that block your 386 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:23,760 way. He's going to he's going to 387 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,880 remove those things that are standing in your way. 388 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,320 And we know we have been given authority to speak to anything 389 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,200 that would try to act like it's going to stand in my way. 390 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,120 So he's going to do it if we'll allow him and if we'll 391 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,360 acknowledge him in all of our ways in every situation that 392 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,960 we're going through. Psalms 32 and 8 says this. 393 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,520 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. 394 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,200 I will counsel you who are willing to what? 395 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,680 Learn. So you got to be willing to 396 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,120 allow him to lead you, and then you've got to be willing to 397 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,760 learn his way and to learn of him. 398 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,920 Amen. Hallelujah. 399 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,880 Because you don't want to be a stubborn goat. 400 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,040 Psalms 119 and 1:05 it says this. 401 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:31,680 Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light to my path. 402 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,560 Psalms 3723 says this The steps of a good here it is and 403 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:42,560 righteous man are directed and established by the Lord and he 404 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,760 delights in his way and blesses his path. 405 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,280 Hallelujah. See, there's blessings on the 406 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,480 path that you're allowing him to lead you. 407 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,680 But if you want to lead your own life and go down your own path 408 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,200 and way of doing things because you like it and because you want 409 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,440 to do it and you want to continue to do this, then guess 410 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,880 what? You're going to have the result 411 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,640 of that path of your own way. And we know the result of the 412 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,080 paths that we used to be on. Come on. 413 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,200 And they were always bringing us to a place of a dead end. 414 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,560 The drugs, the alcohol, come on the the the girls, the guys 415 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,160 always leading us to a place of a dead end. 416 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,160 The money come on the position always leading us to a place of 417 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,080 the dead end. Because we weren't following the 418 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,200 right person. We weren't following the right 419 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:47,240 path. And many of us got off, and you 420 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:53,240 can still get off. You can still get off and get on 421 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,560 your own path and do it your own way. 422 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,520 And all you're going to have is death and destruction. 423 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:04,240 Because whatsoever a man soweth, so how he so shall he reap. 424 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,960 And that is still applicable in the New Testament and in the New 425 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,159 Covenant, even though you're born again. 426 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,239 Because he says if you sow to the flesh of doing it your own 427 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,120 way, guess what? You're going to reap the flesh, 428 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,719 which leads to destruction. If you sow, sow to the Spirit, 429 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,280 which is of him, come on then guess what, you're going to reap 430 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,159 of the Spirit of life. Hallelujah. 431 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,600 Still a principle in the earth today, even though you're born 432 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,000 again. So we get to make the choice. 433 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:45,000 Even still after we've chosen Jesus, we still get to make the 434 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,800 choice if we're going to live following Him or still living 435 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:56,920 and doing it our own way. Nothing changes with that. 436 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:06,800 OK, so we have to understand that we must be led by him. 437 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,720 Now let me read this. Psalms 31 Three. 438 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,240 Are y'all good? It says this. 439 00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:16,160 Yes. You are my rock and my fortress. 440 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,240 For your name's sake. You listen to that. 441 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,560 For your name's sake, You will lead me and guide me. 442 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:32,160 We can trust in the fact that He will lead us and He will guide 443 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,880 us into places of righteousness. Or what I also would like to 444 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,800 say, He's going to lead us and guide us in every situation into 445 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:49,560 victory, into victory. That's where He's going to lead 446 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,680 us and that's where He's going to guide us into a place of 447 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,840 victory. No matter what we're going on, 448 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,400 if we'll be led by him, if we'll let Him lead, if we'll put him 449 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,680 out front and say lead me, Lord, I need your leading in this. 450 00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,080 Come on. Because I know where I want to 451 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,400 go and I know what I want to do, but that's going to not be a 452 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,880 good result. So I want victory in this 453 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,000 situation. So I'm acknowledging you that 454 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,560 you want to lead me down the right path as my Good Shepherd. 455 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:25,560 2nd Corinthians 214 But thanks be to God, who always leads us 456 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,880 into triumph. Hallelujah, This is the Good 457 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,240 Shepherd. He's never going to lead you 458 00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:36,000 into a place of defeat. Come on. 459 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,880 He's never going to lead you into a place of destruction. 460 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,640 He's never going to lead you into a place of abandonment, but 461 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:51,000 he's always going to lead you into a place of triumph in every 462 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,800 situation in your life. Hallelujah. 463 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,000 A place of victory, glory to God, a place of overcoming. 464 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,440 Come on, come on. A place of rising above that 465 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,440 situation. Glory to God because we've been 466 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,760 given the reigning spirit on the inside of us. 467 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,920 Hallelujah. So everywhere I go, I'm going to 468 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,680 reign. Come on, I'm going to triumph, 469 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,040 I'm going to overcome. Come on, all the the 470 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,880 circumstances, all the trials, all the things that we have to 471 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,360 still walk through in this life until he returns. 472 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,000 But we can walk in victory. We can walk in triumph. 473 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:37,680 We can walk overcoming, Come on. And never being in a place of 474 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,960 destruction, glory to God. Last point that I just want to 475 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:47,160 cover tonight before we close is a place of security. 476 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:57,320 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I 477 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,320 will fear no evil, for you are with me. 478 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,720 I don't care who else is with me. 479 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,040 I want to know that God is with me no matter what's going on. 480 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,000 I don't even care if my husband's with me. 481 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,800 I just want my Good Shepherd, come on, my great Shepherd with 482 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:20,760 me, my Lord, my Shepherd, I want him with me no matter what I'm 483 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,600 walking through because I don't have to fear anything. 484 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:32,280 I don't have to fear anything. So he says, listen, even though 485 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,840 you're walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I 486 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,520 will fear no evil. For you are with me, you're with 487 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,560 me. That's why he's a man. 488 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:50,920 You will. God with us, He's with us, He's 489 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,480 for us, He's in US. Glory to God, Hallelujah, He's 490 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,640 with us so we don't have to fear no matter what we're walking 491 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,320 through. And look at this. 492 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,480 Look what it says though. You walk through the valley of 493 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,760 the shadow of death. We're going to walk in this life 494 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:15,680 through mountains and valleys, period. 495 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,160 We're going to be walking through. 496 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,440 We're going to walk through mountains and we're going to 497 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,920 walk through valleys. And you know what? 498 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,920 We're going to walk still in this fallen world again, where 499 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,200 he says there's going to be trials, there's going to be 500 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,800 tests, there's going to be tribulations. 501 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,920 There's going to be things that's going to take place 502 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,600 because the world is still in the fallen state. 503 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,840 But look what he says. You're going to walk through it. 504 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,640 He never intends you to live in it. 505 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,360 Whatever has happened in your life, as long as you can still 506 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:05,560 get up, you may fall. Come on, 7 times. 70, come on. 507 00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:10,560 But if you'll just get back up, get up out of the valley, come 508 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,320 on up. The shadow of death that's 509 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:17,080 keeping death surrounding you. The shadows there, it's like a 510 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,680 cloud following you. But you're stuck there. 511 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,240 You want to be there. But if you'll just say no, I'm 512 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,920 supposed to be walking through this. 513 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,000 I'm not supposed to be here, I'm supposed to be walking through 514 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,560 it and it's just a shadow and I don't have to fear because God 515 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,080 is with me. God is with me. 516 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,520 Psalms 3415 and 22 says this. The eyes of the Lord are towards 517 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,520 the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. 518 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:01,800 The face of the Lord is against evil doers to cut off the memory 519 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,000 of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the Lord 520 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:12,240 hears him, and what does He do? And He delivers them out of all 521 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:16,680 of their troubles, because that's what He is. 522 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,320 As a Good Shepherd. He is going to deliver you out 523 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,680 of all of your troubles. He is going to restore back to 524 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,560 you anything that you may. Look what he did with Job. 525 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,560 Come on. Job got double for his trouble. 526 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,280 What was God's heart there? That he would be restored. 527 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:44,880 That he would be restored. And he was, because he never 528 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:55,680 spoke against God, even though everybody around him wanted him 529 00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:00,440 to curse him. So look what he says. 530 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,400 He says, listen, I'm here to deliver you out of all of your 531 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,640 troubles. No matter what you're going 532 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,520 through. It may look like death to you. 533 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,880 It's a shadow. Remember that first. 534 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:16,960 It's just a shadow. And I'm here to deliver you out 535 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,480 of it so you don't even have to fear that this thing can take 536 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:27,240 you out. But it'll only take you out if 537 00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:31,720 you stay there and you don't keep walking if you don't keep 538 00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:34,760 doing what you know you're supposed to be doing, right? 539 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,120 Listen to what He says. He says the Lord is near to the 540 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,720 broken hearted. Isn't that what he said? 541 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,080 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. 542 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:47,920 What he's anointed me to what? Heal the broken hearted. 543 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,720 So the Lord is always He's near to the broken hearted, and He 544 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:56,400 saves those who are crushed in spirit. 545 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,280 Many are the afflictions of the righteous. 546 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,640 Listen to what He says. But the Lord delivers them out 547 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,920 of them all. He did not promise us that we 548 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,840 were not going to have afflictions. 549 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,040 He did not promise us that we were not going to have issues 550 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,240 that we would still have to deal with while we were in this 551 00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:21,520 earth. But you know what He did promise 552 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,400 us that He would deliver us from all of them. 553 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:28,480 He deliver us. You know why? 554 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,600 Because He is love. He loves us. 555 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,880 He cares for us. He's a Good Shepherd, 556 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:41,280 Hallelujah, and he does not want his people in a place of 557 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,840 destruction, only restoration, says verse 21. 558 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,560 Evil shall slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous 559 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,040 will be condemned. But the Lord redeems the soul of 560 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:58,320 his servants, and none of those who take refuge in him or and 561 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,800 none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. 562 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:08,200 Hallelujah. So he wants to deliver us from 563 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,920 all of our problems. Hallelujah. 564 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,520 Psalms 118 six. The Lord is for me. 565 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,880 That's that needs to just be your confession. 566 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,840 The Lord is for me. He is not against me. 567 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,080 The Lord is for me. Isn't that a simple confession 568 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,040 that we could say every day? The Lord's for me. 569 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:36,040 He's for me because I'm the righteous and He loves me. 570 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:42,600 He's for me, Hallelujah. He's for me and I will not fear. 571 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:50,120 What can man do to me? He does not want us to fear 572 00:44:50,880 --> 00:45:02,280 anything, Anything and especially man, Especially man 573 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:08,320 because he has the final say and you don't have to fear not one 574 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:13,680 person, no man, if you fear him, that's the only one. 575 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,440 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Glory to God. 576 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,680 Come on, have the worship team come up. 577 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,960 My last scripture, Psalms 27 as they're coming up. 578 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,840 Psalms 27, one through 6. The Lord is my light to see. 579 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:44,720 The valley gets dark, the valley can get dark and a shadows cast, 580 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:51,040 which means there's darkness. But you know what he says? 581 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,840 The Lord is my light. He's our light. 582 00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:03,000 He's our light in the midst of that, and no matter how dark it 583 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:10,480 gets, His light is always on.
