00:01 My husband J.D., has a precious habit,
00:03 he leaves little notes around the house 00:06 that I can find just in inconspicuous places 00:10 and it always makes feel me so 00:12 loved when I find them, 00:14 please join us today on Issues and Answers 00:16 as we talk about love notes from God. 00:43 Hello and welcome to Issues and Answers. 00:45 We are so glad you've tuned in no matter 00:47 where you are tuning in from around the world 00:49 and today we are going to be talking 00:52 about love notes from our heavenly Father. 00:55 I want share one of my favorite love notes 00:59 with you, it's in Jeremiah 31 and verse 3 01:02 and this is the Lord speaking and he says yes 01:05 I have loved you with an ever lasting love 01:08 and therefore I have drawn you 01:11 with loving kindness, you know God 01:13 wants us to understand his love 01:16 and that is a concept that's difficult 01:19 to understand the length, the breadth, 01:21 the height and the width of God's love, 01:24 it's almost impossible but joining us today 01:28 is Dr. Janice Browne and Janice 01:31 is going to be talking to us about 01:34 something that I believe is 01:36 very important Janice, we welcome you back. 01:39 Thank you, it's good to be back. 01:41 Now tell us a little bit, 01:43 people may not have seen you 01:44 here before tell us little bit 01:46 about your educational 01:48 background and your ministry. 01:50 Well, I have a Bachelors of Science 01:53 and Psychology and Sociology 01:55 from Oakwood University, I have Masters of Science 01:59 and Clinical Psychology from 02:01 Alabama A&M University and I have a 02:04 Ph. D Degree from Andrews University 02:07 in leadership through the School of of Education 02:11 and a Concentration in Psychology. 02:14 So, why would someone like 02:17 yourself who is so highly educated 02:19 and particularly in the field of Psychology, 02:24 why would you think it is 02:25 so important for us 02:27 to focus on God's love. 02:30 Because that is the greatest love 02:33 that exists in a world filled with chaos, 02:36 and anger and hurt and anxiety, 02:39 oil spills and all kinds of terrible things, 02:42 we need to fill love and sometimes 02:46 even in our own families there isn't 02:48 enough love for some individuals, 02:50 so we need to know that in spite 02:54 of what's happening around us 02:55 or in spite of the person who 02:57 might be very lonely, someone 02:59 today watching us right now 03:01 might feel very lonely, 03:02 you may feel very, very alone 03:04 but God loves you that is the greatest love. 03:08 Amen, I always tell people it's 03:11 something that Lord told me to try to, 03:13 he told me to say it every time 03:15 I speak because I think sometimes 03:18 you may not understand, 03:21 you might think yeah I know 03:22 God is love but could he possibly love me 03:26 and here's what the Lord says 03:27 that he loves you, your worth 03:30 to him nothing less than the price 03:33 that he paid for you with blood 03:36 of his son Jesus Christ, 03:38 that's how much God loves you, 03:39 that's how he demonstrated his love 03:41 for us Romans 5:8 says is by sending 03:44 his son die for us while we were 03:46 yet sinners, so if that is what he did 03:50 then think how much he loves 03:52 us once we've accepted him 03:54 and become children of God, it's amazing. 03:58 It's beautiful. Yes, it is. 04:00 Absolutely outstanding, you know 04:01 I as I think about love from God 04:04 I decided that and I loved what 04:07 you said about your husband leaving 04:08 you little love notes. 04:10 I had a similar experience 04:11 where we were cleaning in our garage 04:14 something that isn't very fun 04:16 to do and one of the box 04:18 I almost throughout had a lot of 04:21 love notes that were written 04:23 to me by my husband before 04:25 we got married and it reminded me 04:27 of the love notes that God writes 04:29 to us in his word, you know 04:32 the greatest lover really 04:33 is our heavenly Father. 04:34 Amen. In fact God our heavenly Father 04:37 is the greatest lover and the 04:38 scripture in Hosea 2:19 says, 04:41 And I will betroth thee unto me forever; 04:45 yea, I will betroth thee unto 04:47 me in righteousness, and in judgment, 04:50 and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 04:54 Some people are not married, 04:56 but God says he will betroth us to him, 05:01 he will marry us in righteousness 05:04 and mercy and lovingkindness 05:06 isn't that a wonderful love. 05:07 It's a beautiful love. 05:09 Isn't that a wonderful marriage? 05:10 And when we think about it, 05:11 he is not only the perfect father 05:14 but he is the perfect husband 05:15 and he said you know your maker is your 05:17 husband and that's the whole 05:19 thing in the Bible that's set up 05:21 as the analogy of actually marriage 05:25 is like the example and used 05:28 as the analogy of the relationship 05:29 between Christ and the Church 05:31 and its meant to be a perfect 05:33 relationship, so that is a great 05:36 thing of love, a great expression of love, 05:39 when someone wants to marry you. 05:40 So, what are some of the 05:41 other love notes that you have? 05:43 Let me start by saying first 05:44 of all that God really does love us. 05:46 Amen. God loves you, God loves you each 05:49 and every person that's watching right now, 05:51 he has a special love for you, 05:53 he says I rejoice over you for 05:57 as a young man married a virgin 05:59 and as the bridegroom rejoiceth 06:01 over the bride so shall thy 06:03 God rejoice over thee. Isaiah 62:5. 06:07 Amen. Love you God. Isn't that beautiful? 06:11 I love it. You know one of my scriptures 06:14 that I love I mean as a love note 06:16 is if I can find it here, isn't it 06:18 funny how you know where these books 06:21 are and then you start fumbling 06:22 when you're on TV, 06:24 it's Zephaniah 3:17, listen to this, 06:26 the Lord you God in your midst, 06:29 the mighty one will save; 06:31 he will rejoice over you with gladness; 06:34 he will quiet you by his love; 06:36 he will rejoice over you with singing, 06:39 can you just imagine, 06:40 the picture I know growing up 06:43 my idea of the Father God, 06:45 I love Jesus but my idea 06:47 of the Father was that he was up 06:49 there on his heavenly throne, 06:52 just watching, ready to zap me 06:54 if I did something wrong and when 06:56 I read this scripture I thought wow 06:59 God is singing over me in heaven 07:01 that is a picture that's almost 07:04 unimaginable but it's a wonderful 07:06 thing, it's a beautiful love note. 07:08 You are right. And it's so interesting 07:10 you should say that my idea 07:12 as a little girl was that my dad 07:14 was my father and that was the 07:16 only father and it was only after 07:19 my father passed away approximately 07:21 7 years ago that I really met 07:23 my heavenly Father and really 07:27 realized that he is my Father 07:30 and that he loaned me my earthly father. 07:33 Amen. So the idea that my 07:35 Father in heaven loves me 07:37 is overwhelmingly beautiful for me. 07:40 And you know I think it's difficult you 07:42 were very blessed because you grew up 07:45 in a Christian home and had a good relationship, 07:48 a good situation in the home, 07:51 some of us were not so blessed and then, 07:54 it's very difficult my father was killed 07:56 when I was six and had an abusive alcoholic 08:00 as a stepfather and sometimes people grow up 08:04 and they have had things, 08:05 you know and I just feel impressed 08:07 to tell you if you're watching today 08:09 and we're talking about love notes 08:10 from God and it just seems 08:11 so foreign to your mind, 08:13 God these are not just words 08:16 when he says that God is loving it 08:18 and that he loves you. 08:20 This is real and I am sorry 08:23 that you've had the past that 08:26 you've had and the hurts that you've 08:27 had but we can't have in our mind 08:31 a picture of God in comparing to our 08:34 heavenly, I mean our earthly fathers. 08:36 The ideal God wanted the earthly 08:39 father to kind of be as his example 08:42 and be that perfect father 08:44 but many are not, yet we have 08:47 to remember God is, he is the ideal. 08:50 Right. He really is. Amen. 08:52 And if we just accept him it helps us 08:55 because he has already accepted us 08:58 and it is unfortunate that some 08:59 individuals do have horrid pictures of 09:01 fathers that don't love and that's why 09:04 the love of God becomes even greater 09:06 because he will never leave you, 09:07 he will never forsake you, 09:09 he will never abuse you, 09:10 he will never do those things 09:12 that are hurtful and painful. 09:13 God the father is loving. 09:16 But Janice, how do you read 09:18 to somebody who perhaps is watching 09:22 and had an abusive father or a father 09:25 that never affirmed them 09:26 and they just you know 09:28 can't get over this and it's hard 09:30 for them to connect, 09:31 how did they connect to the Lord? 09:33 You know that is one of the most difficult things 09:35 for people to do once they have 09:36 had fathers who have not been 09:38 there for them or fathers who were 09:40 abusive or fathers who are not 09:41 responsible or fathers who had 09:43 illnesses such as drug abuse 09:45 and other kinds of difficulties, 09:47 it is very good for individuals 09:50 of that nature, first of all you 09:52 know we talk a lot about prayer, 09:53 prayer is very important and the 09:56 father can send people into 09:58 the lives of individuals, 09:59 who have never had those kinds 10:01 of relationships and that's 10:03 why it's good to have someone 10:06 that you know and can trust 10:08 and talk to, we call them 10:10 mentors now, yes, they can 10:11 help individuals to know 10:13 what it's like to have someone 10:14 who unconditionally loves you 10:17 and that can be transferred 10:20 over to our feeling for the 10:22 heavenly Father and it also helps 10:25 the individual to learn to forgive 10:27 the Father who may have 10:29 been all of those negative 10:30 things to them, it takes 10:32 a lot of prayer, it takes a lot of work 10:34 and sometimes therapy is very 10:36 important the individual can go 10:38 and talk with someone, a councilor or 10:41 a psychiatrist or a psychologist 10:43 or a psychotherapist and 10:45 talk about those feelings 10:46 and what it feels like and 10:49 also from that step they can 10:52 begin to study about the Father 10:55 and who is. We know that Jesus 10:57 was the perfect example 10:59 of what the Father is 11:00 and was he said when 11:02 you have seen me, 11:03 you've seen the Father. 11:04 In Hebrews 1:3 says that Christ 11:06 was the exact, perfect 11:09 representation of the Father. Yes. 11:11 So everything he was, 11:13 is patient, loving, kind and 11:15 gentle as Jesus was so is the Father. 11:18 That's right, that's right, 11:20 can I give you another love notes? Please. 11:22 Satan wants you but you are mine, 11:27 and the scripture is from Luke 11:30 22:31 and 32 and it reads 11:32 behold Satan hath desired to have you, 11:36 that he may sift you as wheat: 11:38 But I have prayed for thee, 11:40 that thy faith fail not. 11:44 Amen. Yours always, God. 11:47 You know when I was in Ethiopia, 11:49 we lived on a compound and we come 11:52 outside of the compound and there 11:54 was a little house, a very tiny 11:56 little house, one room and 11:58 there was a woman there 11:59 called the sifter and so I knew 12:02 about this text and I wanted 12:03 to see how wheat was sifted. 12:05 She take it and she pull it down, 12:08 she put it on this basket 12:10 and then she'd shake it up. 12:11 Yeah. Satan likes to shake us up. 12:14 He does like to shake things. 12:15 He wants to shake us up 12:17 but God says don't worry 12:19 about it, you're mine. 12:21 And you know I like what Jesus 12:23 said in the context there is he 12:26 said that when you have returned 12:30 to me then you know strengthen 12:33 your brethren and you think about 12:35 that Jesus was telling poor Peter, 12:39 hey I know you are going to fall 12:42 and sometimes we think oh 12:44 we've disappointed the Lord, 12:45 you know how can I turn back 12:46 to God after what I did, 12:48 but he already knew what Peter 12:51 was going to face and knew 12:52 he was going to fall and he says 12:54 but don't worry your mine 12:56 I've prayed for you and when you 12:58 return to me strengthen your brother, 13:00 your brother and so he was 13:02 telling him in advance you're going to fall 13:04 but you're going to come back 13:05 because I'm not going to 13:07 let go with you, you know and 13:09 I love that because sometimes 13:11 I think that one of the devil's tricks 13:13 in the sifting what his snare 13:15 is that he can sift us and 13:18 make us feel that we have 13:21 so let God down that we're 13:25 filled with shame and guilt 13:27 then he knows that he can pass off 13:30 that baton of condemnation to us 13:32 and they we're going to beat ourselves 13:34 over the head and we avoid God 13:35 because we feel guilty, so that's 13:38 a precious love note from God. 13:40 It really is. And just 13:41 knowing that he is actually 13:43 praying for me. Amen. 13:45 He is praying for you, he's praying for you, 13:48 that is comforting thought. 13:50 Amen. Another love note? Please. 13:52 Your sins are forgotten, 13:56 sometimes we hold on 13:58 to our sins and we think God 14:00 holds onto to them too, 14:01 but he says in Micah 7:19, 14:04 He will turn again, he will have 14:07 compassion upon us; 14:08 he will subdue our iniquities; 14:10 and thou will cast all 14:12 their sins into the depths of the sea. 14:16 Amen. And I would like to say 14:17 never more to be remembered 14:19 and it's signed, I don't 14:22 remember a thing God. 14:26 I love that and you know in Micah 7, 14:28 he does say too. Do not rejoice over me 14:32 my enemy Satan, when I fall 14:35 I will arise, when I sit in darkness 14:37 the Lord will be a light to me. 14:40 He is going to show us the way 14:42 out and that is such a precious thing 14:45 to think about so you hold on, 14:47 keep your eyes focused on Jesus 14:50 the author who can show you faith. 14:51 He will show you the way out, 14:53 'cause he does love you. 14:54 Share another one please. 14:56 Listen to this love note. 14:57 You are going to love this. 'Cause it's all scripture. 14:58 I love it. Yes. 14:59 You must forgive others. Amen. 15:05 This is what the scriptures say Mark 15:07 11:25 and when you stand praying forgive, 15:11 if he have ought against any 15:13 that your Father also which 15:15 is heaven may forgive you 15:17 your trespasses, Mark 11:25 15:21 and it sound, it's signed 15:23 proud of you, God. You know 15:27 sometimes we walk around 15:29 with our regrets and our anger 15:30 and our hostility and our resentment 15:32 and our bitterness and then 15:33 we go to God and we pray to him, 15:35 but he says that's the one thing 15:37 I can't do, I can't forgive you 15:39 if you haven't forgiven others 15:41 and we want to be forgiven. 15:43 Well and I think when you agree 15:47 that God asks us to forgive others 15:50 for our own benefit because 15:51 he knows that when we have 15:53 bitterness of anger in our 15:54 heart the Holy Spirit can't 15:56 flow through us. So, he asks us 15:59 in my book Pressing into his Presence, 16:02 I put this analogy the Lord gave me 16:05 an illustration of forgive, unforgiveness, 16:10 if you could picture this little 16:11 mountain stream, that's coming down 16:14 through the valley and 16:15 it's just a little shallow mountain stream 16:17 but if you were to anchor a wire 16:19 on either side of that and then 16:21 somebody up the stream throws 16:23 trash into the stream it comes 16:26 and collects around that wire 16:27 and then others, other little bugs 16:30 throw things in and they collect around 16:32 that wire and pretty soon 16:34 just like a beaver would build 16:36 a dam stick by stick that stream 16:38 I mean it's dammed up, 16:43 well that little piece of wire 16:45 is representiveof unforgivenes in our heart 16:48 and then all of the trash of life 16:51 begins to collect around that 16:53 and pretty soon it dams off 16:55 we get bitter, resentful and 16:58 the Holy Spirit, the living water 17:00 can no longer flow through us, 17:02 that's right. So, I think 17:03 what God tells us, you know 17:04 every time he commands us to do 17:06 something that's actually a promise, 17:08 something he will empower us to do, 17:10 that he will work in us to do, 17:12 so it's wonderful that we can let go 17:16 and have God help us learn 17:18 to forgive because even 17:19 that's a gift and it's for 17:21 our own benefit so that we can be happy. 17:24 I totally agree with you, 17:25 I even think it's a miracle. 17:27 Amen. It's a beautiful miracle, 17:29 would you like to hear another one? Please. 17:31 God says, I will always be faithful, 17:34 you know sometimes individuals 17:36 are in relationships where the spouse 17:39 or the friend isn't faithful, 17:41 even between best friends sometimes 17:43 a best friend isn't faithful but God 17:44 says I will always be faithful 17:46 and the scripture that he has given 17:48 us today is Lamentations 21 through 23, 17:51 one of my favorites, this I recall to my mind, 17:55 therefore have I hoped, 17:56 it is of the Lord's mercy 17:58 that we are not consumed 18:00 because his compassions fail not, 18:02 they are new 18:03 every morning. Hallelujah, amen. 18:06 Great is thy faithfulness and 18:09 it's signed faithfully yours, God. 18:12 Amen. He is faithful. 18:14 Faithfully yours the God of new 18:17 beginnings, the God of second chances, 18:18 halleluiah that's how much he loves us, 18:21 we mess up he doesn't just toss 18:24 us aside and say well done with you, 18:26 so that's a beautiful love note from God. 18:29 Absolutely. And another one. 18:32 Here is another one, sometimes we 18:35 want things, we have dreams, 18:37 we have goals, we have ambitions 18:39 and we think it's impossible you know 18:42 I can't do it I don't have this, 18:44 I'm not equipped but God says 18:47 what you're asking for isn't impossible 18:50 and the love note that he gives us 18:53 in scripture is found in Matthew 19:26 18:56 and it reads with men this is impossible 19:00 but with God all things are possible. 19:05 Amen. And he signs it, 19:08 I'll make it happen God. 19:10 Amen. You know sometimes people pray 19:17 and they don't think that God is answering 19:20 their prayer and sometimes we pray 19:24 and we think if you are the God 19:25 of the impossible why haven't 19:27 you done what I've asked. 19:28 My experience has been that 19:31 sometimes God's answered prayer 19:34 and we just don't know it 19:35 that his answer has been no 19:38 and anytime he tells me no, 19:42 when he doesn't answer something 19:43 the way I wish it were done. 19:45 It's always because he is 19:47 working on the part of my eternal 19:51 benefit and that he has something 19:54 better and usually we don't see 19:57 it for a little while and we can be 19:58 frustrated and think oh God 19:59 if you love me you know you're 20:01 words you should give me the desires 20:03 of my heart, of course it says 20:05 that we had got to keep 20:08 our eyes on the Lord, trusting in him 20:10 and making him our top priority 20:12 to do that, but then when he 20:14 does do something and what he says 20:16 no to one and you look down 20:18 the road and you think oh Lord 20:20 thank you that you answered me 20:22 no there because what you've 20:23 given me is so much better. 20:24 I totally agree with that how 20:27 many times have you asked 20:29 for one thing and he did 20:30 something that was even better, 20:32 absolutely or how many times 20:33 have you asked for something 20:34 and you looked back and 20:35 you said oh thank God, 20:36 thank you father, amen, 20:38 that you didn't answer that 20:39 prayer the way I wanted it answered. 20:41 We have to remember that 20:43 he really does love us, 20:44 he really does care about us, 20:47 he really wants what's best 20:49 for you, he doesn't withhold 20:51 anything from you that's 20:53 not good he only tries 20:56 to guide us, lead us, 20:57 direct us and give us those things 21:00 that will help us 21:01 in this life and the life to come. 21:03 And you know when we think 21:04 about if he is allowing trials 21:08 to come our way, sometimes 21:10 people get confused by that 21:11 and they'll say well how can 21:13 God you know if nothing happens 21:15 without getting through him, 21:17 how can God do that but 21:19 here is one in these little notes that 21:21 I like and it's talking about it's 21:25 in James chapter 1 and he is 21:27 talking about that God allows things, 21:30 he says my eyes aren't focusing 21:32 real well, anyway he talks about 21:34 knowing that he allows these trials, 21:38 knowing that the testing of your faith 21:42 produces patience and patience 21:45 we let it have it's perfect work 21:47 that you may become perfect and 21:50 lacking nothing, so I think God 21:53 sees a potential in us that 21:55 we can never reach without these trials. 21:57 If life was just hunky dory 21:59 all the time then you probably meet 22:01 people like this, that they just 22:02 had this life that everything 22:04 has been handed to them 22:05 on a silver platter and they've never 22:07 had any problems and they never 22:09 reached their potential because they 22:11 don't know what it means to be shrived. 22:14 I think about people who, 22:15 rock polishers when they put 22:17 those rocks into the canister and 22:21 then they roll them and they bang 22:23 around and all this and here 22:25 this old rough rock goes in there, 22:27 but once it's been through 22:29 the trail of that polishing canister 22:32 it comes out and it's beautiful 22:33 and I think that's why 22:34 God trust us with trials. 22:36 I would totally agree with you. 22:38 Amen. We do need some of those because 22:39 we've become spiritually sedentary, 22:41 amen, you know just fat 22:43 and good for nothing, complacent, 22:46 complacent and I think God knows 22:49 that if that happens to us 22:51 then he is going to lose us 22:52 and we are going to lose 22:53 our hold on him. Can I 22:55 give you another one? Please. 22:57 You know sometimes we want 22:58 to handle things ourselves, 22:59 sometimes we're self sufficient, 23:01 sometimes we think we know 23:03 better than God does. Well God 23:06 says let me handle it and then 23:09 he sends us a love note 23:11 in Romans 12:19 and it reads 23:13 Dearly beloved, avenge not 23:16 yourselves, but rather give place 23:18 to wrath: for it is written, 23:20 Vengeance is mine; 23:23 I will repay, saith the Lord. Amen. 23:28 And it's signed I will take care 23:30 of it, God. The battle is the Lords, amen. 23:34 That's right, exactly. Sometimes 23:38 we are broken, sometimes our 23:41 hearts are broken, sometimes our 23:44 lives are broken but God 23:46 sends us a love note 23:47 in Psalm 147:3 and it reads. 23:51 I love that one. He healeth 23:53 the broken in heart and 23:56 bindeth up their wounds. 23:58 And it signed your heart mender, God. 24:03 Oh that's beautiful. Isn't that fabulous. 24:05 That's is beautiful. I thought that 24:06 was so pointed because I think 24:08 of a broken heart and I think 24:09 of the Father just sowing it 24:11 back up with his love, with 24:14 his very gentle tender hands, 24:15 you see he is not human, 24:17 he is all encompassing, 24:20 he is divine, he controls the universe 24:24 and yet he comes down to 24:26 little me, little you, to little you 24:29 and he binds up the wounds, 24:32 he binds up the broken heart. 24:34 Exactly. I love that and he is the 24:37 lifter he says Psalm 33 24:38 he is the lifter of our heads. 24:40 That's right. Perfect God. 24:42 And of course this is one that 24:43 you mentioned earlier the battle 24:45 is not yours he says it's mine, 24:48 exactly you know we think 24:49 we have to fight every battle 24:50 but we can't fight any battle 24:52 without the help, the strength 24:55 and the power of God and he says 24:57 in Second Chronicles 20:15, 24:59 Thus saith the Lord unto you, 25:00 Be not dismayed by reason 25:02 of this great multitude; 25:04 in our multitudes of troubles and trials 25:06 and tribulations and problems and difficulties 25:09 and financial debt, for the battle 25:12 is not yours, but God's. 25:15 God takes our battles on, he takes our trials, 25:20 our tribulations, our sufferings, 25:22 he takes those on himself 25:24 and he fights those battles 25:27 for us and he signs it your 25:29 loving protector, God. That's beautiful. 25:33 He protects us. That's beautiful, 25:35 he takes care of us. Great. 25:37 Another one, sometimes we tell 25:41 people that I will never leave you, 25:43 we'll be together forever, 25:45 you're my universe, 25:46 you're my world, you're my everything, 25:48 we can never depart from each other 25:51 but sometimes those words aren't 25:54 always true. God says we are 25:57 going to be together forever, 26:00 that's a promise he has made us 26:02 and it's found in First Thessalonians 26:04 4:16 which is another one 26:06 of my favorites, it says For 26:08 the Lord himself shall descend 26:09 from heaven with a shout, 26:11 with the voice of the archangel, 26:12 and with the trump of God: 26:14 and the dead in Christ 26:15 shall rise first. Then we which 26:18 are live and remain, 26:19 shall be caught up together 26:21 in the clouds to meet the Lord 26:22 in the air and so shall we 26:24 ever be with the Lord 26:27 and it's signed, I can 26:29 hardly wait to be with your forever, God. 26:33 Exactly. He wants to be with us 26:35 forever and he will never leave 26:37 us nor forsake us, that day 26:40 is coming, when we'll be 26:41 caught up together with him in the air. 26:44 And it's coming sooner 26:45 than I think. Oh I agree with you. 26:47 Most people realize, so I think 26:48 we have time for one more. 26:50 Oh great, he says on 26:53 that same note I am 26:54 coming to get you very soon 26:56 and you're right, he is coming soon 26:57 and he says to us 26:59 in Revelation 22:7, behold I 27:02 come quickly and he signs 27:04 it see you soon, God. 27:06 Amen, amen. You know an experiment 27:10 was done a number of years back, 27:12 where a ruler of a country 27:13 had taken the babies and he 27:16 put them in a nursery and 27:18 didn't allow any kind of physical contact, 27:20 even the nurses that were changing 27:22 their diapers couldn't touch them, 27:23 they couldn't speak to them 27:25 and he wanted to see what language 27:28 these children would speak once 27:30 they grow up if no ever 27:31 spoke to them assuming it 27:32 would be German and what happened 27:34 is all the children died, they were 27:36 love deprived, they were touch 27:37 deprived and I hope that something 27:40 today has touched your heart 27:41 and you realize how much God loves you. 27:43 Dr. Browne, we thank you 27:46 so much for being with us today 27:48 and hope that you come back to 3ABN again. 27:50 Thank you, I'd love to. 27:51 And for those of you at home please 27:54 I encourage you to open up 27:56 the word of God and find 27:59 all of these love promises in there, 28:02 find out the only way you're gonna 28:05 ever get to know how much 28:06 God loves you is to read his word and accept it. |
