Amen. 04:29 Amen. 04:31 One of my favorite verses 04:32 and we're gonna talk about that verse receiving, 04:33 is Deuteronomy 32:47 that says 04:36 that God's ever lasting arms are beneath us 04:38 and He'll thrust out the enemy from before us. 04:41 And so we're going to sing that song right now, 04:44 based on that beautiful scripture. 04:46 And let me introduce our very special sister 04:49 who is sitting at the piano, Marline Pool Carl. 04:54 Marline Hall, excuse me. 04:57 I have a good friend named Marline Pool. 04:58 Marline Hall is with us 05:00 and she is blessed with the gift of music. 05:05 So she's gonna be playing for us. 05:07 "Leaning on His everlasting arms." 05:09 The words will be on the screen, 05:10 so please join us. 05:25 What a fellowship, what a joy divine, 05:31 Leaning on the everlasting arms; 05:36 What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, 05:41 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 05:47 Leaning, leaning, 05:52 Safe and secure from all alarms; 05:58 Leaning on Jesus, Leaning on Jesus, 06:03 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 06:10 Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, 06:16 Leaning on the everlasting arms; 06:21 O how bright the path grows from day to day, 06:27 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 06:32 Leaning on Jesus, Leaning on Jesus, 06:38 Safe and secure from all alarms; 06:43 Leaning, leaning, 06:48 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 06:56 What have I to dread, what have I to fear, 07:01 Leaning on the everlasting arms? 07:06 I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, 07:12 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 07:17 Leaning on Jesus, Leaning on Jesus, 07:23 Safe and secure from all alarms; 07:28 Leaning on Jesus Leaning on Jesus, 07:34 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 07:42 Thank you, Marline, 07:44 and we are indeed 07:46 leaning on the ever lasting arms of Jesus. 07:49 You know, this is the only time they let us sing on 3ABN. 07:52 And there's a very good reason for that. 07:56 But we do have joined our hearts. 07:58 We do. 07:59 And that's what the Lord, it says, 08:01 make a joyful noise to the Lord and that's what we do. 08:03 We're glad that you joined us from home. 08:06 Well, tonight before we begin, 08:09 I've thought what we'd like to do is, 08:11 we're going to just have a prayer of praise. 08:14 And this is just, we'll all go around, 08:16 no particular order. 08:18 Just short little sentences, 08:20 if you think of something 08:22 you want to praise the Lord for, just jump in. 08:24 JD, you wanna start? Oh, yes. 08:27 Father, as we come to you in the name of Jesus, 08:29 we want to thank you for the special time. 08:31 The Sabbath is coming upon us Lord, 08:33 that we do have this time of rest to concentrate on you. 08:36 Father, the thing that comes to my mind is my family. 08:40 And I'm just asking, Lord, 08:41 that as each one of us in our family, 08:44 Lord, that they will allow the Holy Spirit 08:46 to work in our heart, 08:47 to touch us, to lead, guide and direct us. 08:52 Thank you, Lord, also, 08:53 I wanna praise your name for a... 08:56 so many blessings you give us everyday, 09:00 every second and thank you, Lord, 09:03 for learning more about you and about your love 09:07 and the comfort that we can find 09:10 by just opening up the Bible 09:14 and reading this wonderful pieces 09:17 and verses that you have left there for us. 09:20 And help us, Lord, to share this with others 09:23 and be joyful and always, Lord, 09:27 keep in mind that you love us today and always. 09:31 In Jesus name, Amen. 09:35 Father God, thank You so much for the opportunity 09:37 to be here in this... 09:40 this privileged land that we live 09:43 and the ability to open up your word 09:45 to have so many copies of your Word lying around that we... 09:49 we're just amazed. 09:51 Father God, give us the boldness 09:53 and grant us your wisdom to share this with others, 09:56 so that we may bring light unto this dying world. 10:00 We want to bring as many of our brothers and sisters 10:02 into the kingdom with us, as we can possibly fill, 10:05 Lord Jesus, and we know you have room for them all. 10:08 Grant us, Lord, that ability to share that your Holy Spirit, 10:11 touch those who hear 10:13 and may your name be glorified. 10:15 In Jesus name. 10:16 Thank You, Father, for the power 10:18 that's in your Word to save us, 10:20 to change us into your image into your likeness. 10:22 I thank you, Lord, that your grace and your mercy 10:26 is renewed every morning. 10:27 Thank you, Father, your ears aren't dead 10:29 and your eyes aren't blinded nor your arm, 10:32 hand shortened that you can reach out 10:34 and touch and bring comfort to every one of us, Father. 10:37 We just commend our lives into your hands and ask, 10:40 Father, that this comfort 10:43 will flow into everyone of our viewers and listeners 10:46 and we thank you for it. 10:47 In Jesus name. 10:49 Holy and righteous Father, 10:50 we praise you because you are worthy of our prayers. 10:53 And we thank you, Father God, for salvation by grace. 10:58 We thank you for your gifts 11:00 of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 11:03 For your Holy Spirit and your Word and, Father, 11:06 we ask in the name of Jesus, 11:09 that you will help us to continually remember 11:13 that you are a covenant keeping God 11:16 and we thank you for this new covenant 11:18 where you have written your laws in our hearts, Father, 11:22 and put them in our minds, Father. 11:24 We ask in Jesus name, that, Lord, 11:27 as we go through your word tonight, 11:29 send your Holy Spirit to teach us 11:32 what you want to say 11:34 and please bless everybody who is watching or listening 11:37 by radio as well. 11:39 In Jesus name, Amen. 11:41 Amen, Amen, Amen. 11:43 I'm, kind of, anxious to get into this. 11:46 We're just going to go through some scriptures here. 11:50 And I think rather than reading the affirmation 11:53 as I typically start. 11:55 Let's just go ahead and begin 11:56 with 2 Corinthians 1:3,4. 12:01 Who would like to take that scripture? 12:03 2 Corinthians 1:3,4. 12:08 Well, I would like to read these verses 12:10 as I just love the way it flows 12:14 and then even better the way it flows, 12:17 is the words that are just put in Bible. 12:21 2 Corinthian's 1: 3 and 4. 12:25 Praise be to God, the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 12:28 I just love that. 12:30 The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 12:34 who comforts us in all our troubles, 12:37 so that we can comfort those in any trouble, 12:40 with the comfort that we ourselves 12:41 have received from God. 12:46 Well, what that means to me, if you are favored 12:51 and you have been with Lord long enough, 12:57 you encounter all the ups and downs of life 13:01 and He continue... 13:03 positions Himself to be there 13:07 to grant us the favor of getting pass this hill 13:11 to another hill and go through the valleys, the hills of life. 13:15 And as we're fighting the battles 13:18 that come along life's way, 13:20 He is there with His precious arms 13:24 to get us past this particular obstacle 13:27 and in doing that, we learn the life lessons. 13:32 And then as He brings other people into our pathway, 13:37 we can share some of those thanks 13:40 we got past and his favour to us. 13:44 And so that's what... 13:45 so that we can comfort those that are in any trouble, 13:48 with the comfort that we have ourselves received from God. 13:52 You know, think about this. 13:53 What people, why do we need comfort, 13:56 who needs comfort? 13:58 Everybody. All of us. 14:00 So what are some other things that, you know, 14:02 I was thinking at first, 14:04 when I was looking at these scriptures earlier, I thought, 14:08 we know we need comfort when we're grieving, 14:11 if the loss of a loved one. 14:13 We need comfort if circumstances have just, 14:17 you know, come against us 14:18 and all evil and chaos breaking lose. 14:21 But the other thought that struck me is, 14:25 sometimes we just need comfort because we're sinners 14:29 and we are feeling sorry for our sin 14:32 and it's interesting to me that, it says, 14:36 'God comforts us in all of our troubles.' 14:38 He is the God of comfort. 14:41 But once we've come to Him, if it's for sin 14:43 and we've asked for forgiveness 14:46 and He gives us that forgiveness 14:47 or if we are mourning a loved one. 14:51 Once we have received this, what does the scripture say? 14:57 We receive from Him, 15:00 so that we can be the channel of blessing. 15:03 If God's comforting us, 15:05 that then we turn around and comfort others. 15:10 Mollie, you've never lost a child. 15:12 Do you think that you would be 15:14 the best person to comfort a mother 15:16 who's lost a child or perhaps a mother 15:19 who's been through that, 15:21 God's walked her through that valley, 15:23 who would be better to comfort her? 15:26 She would be so much better prepared emotionally 15:30 and it's not that I wouldn't have 15:35 love and sympathy. 15:37 There's a difference in sympathy and empathy 15:41 and, you know, my heart could break for her. 15:44 But for somebody to be able to say, 15:46 "Honey, I've been where you are." 15:48 And that's why it's so important that we... 15:52 knob closer safely in. 15:55 But if we've walked through a difficult place, 15:58 yield ourself to God until 16:00 God use me to bring comfort to others, 16:04 for those areas that I've actually walked through 16:07 and the truth is, 16:10 when you yield yourself to God or give yourself to Him, 16:14 make yourself available to Him, 16:16 He's going to use you 16:18 and what I have always found to be true, 16:20 when the Lord will use me, 16:22 then I'm the one that is more blessed than the person 16:25 that He's using me to minister to. 16:27 That is so true, what you're saying, Mollie, 16:29 because sometimes we feel like, 16:31 how we can comfort somebody. 16:34 Who will be comforted 16:36 or how we can find the person that 16:39 really will be able to help? 16:42 And sometimes, 16:46 we find that person in the least expected places. 16:50 Some people, I mean, 16:52 you've asked who hasn't never been... 16:55 needs comfort. 16:56 And I think everybody does and all of us cold, 17:02 it's somehow, somewhat to find somebody 17:05 and help and be a comfort to them. 17:08 This world is divided, 17:10 the from this side divided people 17:12 are separated physically 17:14 and emotionally from each other. 17:16 Everybody is going through some sort of discomfort 17:21 and we are called to help them. 17:23 Now very easy, 17:26 to just secluded in ourself 17:28 and we become so selfish sometimes in those, 17:31 we don't look around. 17:33 And look, even among ourselves, sometime we think, 17:37 "No. J D doesn't need comfort." 17:40 I mean, he's upstairs, 17:41 talking to people and praying with them. 17:45 He probably is having the best time 17:48 and we are so wrong. 17:50 Because, if I see you, JD, and I smile at you and I said, 17:54 "How're you doing today?" 17:56 Maybe, I don't know, maybe, that's what you need 17:59 at that particular moment. 18:01 It doesn't matter who you are, 18:02 where you are or what you're doing in life. 18:04 You always need words of encouragement. 18:07 You know, I was at the lunch table here at 3ABN, 18:12 a few weeks ago. 18:13 And I was going through a difficult time 18:16 and I had my bright face on, but with these... 18:20 it was just the two ladies, Barbara and Elisa, 18:22 the ladies I work with. 18:24 And I told 'em, "You just aren't gonna believe 18:27 what happened to me last night." 18:30 And I just started sharing and I didn't... 18:34 they couldn't do anything to alleviate my situation but, 18:37 you know what my sisters did for me, 18:39 they listened to me. 18:41 Then Elisa said... 18:43 well, I mean, she shared something 18:45 that she had never shared with us 18:47 and then Barbara said, "I just found this yesterday." 18:51 And we ladies just laid our hearts open 18:54 and we were honest and we shared with each other. 18:58 Now, when I laughed, 18:59 Barbara still had her situation, 19:01 Elisa still had her situation, 19:04 I still had my situation 19:06 but all three of us were comforted. 19:08 Why? 19:09 We had somebody that we could trust 19:13 with our deepest pains 19:15 and they had listened to us and sometimes, 19:18 the comfort comes in just the getting it, 19:21 speaking it out, 19:23 the hearing of it 19:24 and so it is important that we be honest 19:29 with one another and open ourselves, 19:31 that the Lord can use us to bring comfort to others. 19:33 But, you know, I do think that, 19:35 to your point what you were saying, Jorge Jaque, 19:38 someone once said, 19:40 "Treat everyone as if their heart is 19:42 breaking because it probably is." 19:45 And there is a decree that the listening and helping 19:48 but their true comfort is, 19:50 when we've walked through a situation 19:52 and God has comforted us. 19:54 And it may not be the very same situation 19:56 but that's what so comforting to you. 19:58 You had two Christian women 20:00 who've been through bad things themselves, 20:02 they know God will bring 'em through to the other end. 20:05 It's when you can share the comfort, 20:07 and that's what it's says here, is that, 20:09 He comforts us in all of our troubles, 20:12 so that we can comfort those in any trouble, 20:17 with the same comfort we've received. 20:19 That's what equips us and I was thinking today, 20:22 I wanna get onto some more scriptures here but 20:24 I've already prayed with several people, 20:27 just the first hour of this morning, 20:30 when we were meeting in with, 20:33 you know, individuals who work at 3ABN. 20:36 I thought there are so many broken hearted people here, 20:40 who are filled with such joy. 20:42 You know, they're Christians, so they've got the hope 20:45 but there's so much going on 20:47 and I've asked every one of them. 20:49 Could you imagine facing this, 20:51 if you didn't have God in your life? 20:53 And they'll say the same thing, you know why? 20:56 So God is there, you know, in Luke 6:36, 21:00 Jesus said, "Be merciful into others, 21:04 as your Heavenly Father is also merciful." 21:08 So God's there to encourage us, to strengthen us, 21:11 exchange His strength for our weakness, 21:13 He's there to give us hope and that's what we do 21:16 when we're comforting others. 21:17 Right? 21:19 I love that scripture, 21:20 exchange his strength for our weakness. 21:22 Amen. 21:23 Well, I do love that and I may now, 21:24 I find that that is very encouraging and, 21:29 you know, that the gift is, is that there's many times 21:32 when we exchange our strength 21:33 for other people's weakness, you know. 21:35 But I mean, it all stems down from above... 21:38 2 Corinthians 12:9, 21:40 that His grace is sufficient. Amen. 21:42 Fantastic, that's grace is indeed. 21:43 Oh, go ahead. 21:45 Let me read this, I think it fits probably with 21:47 the scripture better than the another way. 21:50 A little girl came home from a neighbor's house, 21:54 where her little friend had died. 21:57 "Why did you go?" Questioned her father. 22:00 "To comfort her mother," the child said. 22:03 The father said, 22:04 "what could you do comfort her?" 22:07 The little girl said, 22:08 "I climbed into her lap and cried with her." 22:11 Amen. 22:12 It's like what that mother needed 22:14 was just human warmth. 22:16 Sometimes, the scripture tells us, 22:18 God gives us comfort. 22:20 Well, He... 22:22 sometimes, we need Jesus with skin on. 22:25 Amen. 22:26 We need just a human touch, human compassion. 22:30 And that's God flowing through them. 22:32 Absolutely. Thank you, Mollie. 22:34 All right. Psalms 32:7. 22:37 Anybody want to take that one? 22:40 32:7? 22:43 Take that one. Okay. 22:46 Psalms 32:7, "You are my hiding place; 22:49 you shall preserve me from trouble; 22:51 you shall surround me with songs of deliverance." 22:55 Are you familiar with that song? 22:57 You are my hiding place... 22:59 Yes, it's such a beautiful song, isn't it? 23:00 It's a beautiful song, and it's 23:06 it's something that means a lot to me. 23:10 Sorry. 23:13 I didn't expect that. 23:17 When I was a child, I went through 23:19 some things that no child should go through. 23:22 And I always knew God was real. 23:27 As I would sit in my bed and cry, 23:30 He was sitting next to me. 23:33 And I knew He wanted to touch 23:35 my shoulder but at that point, 23:37 He could have reached me because I didn't know 23:40 how to accept Christ at that point of my life and 23:45 I went through a lot more before I found Jesus. 23:48 Found the way to Him. 23:50 And I think that, 23:53 I'm so sorry, I did not expect 23:55 to have this reaction. 23:58 He's always been my hiding place. 24:00 Always and He's just... 24:06 I don't even have the words for thank you. 24:08 I don't even have the words to describe 24:12 my gratitude and my joy 24:14 and my desire to share with other people 24:19 that He is your rock 24:22 and your hiding place, even if you're not clearly, 24:25 really sure about your relationship with Him, 24:26 just turn to Him and He will be there for you. 24:30 You know, it reminds me of Psalms 9:9 24:32 where it says that the Lord will be a refuge 24:34 for the oppressed. 24:36 And He's a refuge, the scripture says, 24:39 in times of trouble. 24:41 So even... 24:43 it's precious to me that 24:45 even though you 24:47 didn't feel that you were completely connected to Lord, 24:50 He was there, you knew, He was with you 24:53 and walking through that situation with you. 24:56 You know, actually in the context here, 25:01 in verse 6, 25:03 David's talking about the flood water sea, 25:05 he was facing overwhelming consequences 25:11 from his sin and so... 25:14 he then though, when he repented, 25:19 he's saying, "You are my hiding place," 25:21 you know, "You always lift me up 25:23 and you should preserve me, you know, 25:26 you surround me with songs of deliverance." 25:29 Have you ever noticed how people who've been forgiven 25:33 are anxious to sing praises to the Lord, aren't they? 25:37 Yes. Amen, Amen. 25:39 That's precious, thank you for sharing that. 25:43 Yeah, and I may... 25:46 this just goes through the point 25:48 that we were talking about earlier, 25:50 there's just people that have different 25:51 areas of pain in their life that you don't know. 25:54 Because you're one of the strongest women that I know. 25:57 And here in front of the world, 25:58 you got tears that are coming out 26:00 because there is that time in your life, 26:03 so, thank you. 26:04 You know, the scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:10 and 26:09 I love that scripture. 26:10 "It's the name of the Lord that's a strong tower; 26:14 " It says, "The righteous run into it" 26:16 and what? "and they're safe. 26:18 The name of the Lord, and Sister White tells us 26:21 Satan trembles and flees 26:23 before the weakest soul 26:25 who finds refuge in that mighty name." 26:28 So you call up on the name of the Lord 26:30 and that's a mighty fortress that we run into 26:35 and have you ever done that running to, 26:37 running to Jesus 26:39 and there's that protection and they're safe there. 26:42 Absolutely. 26:44 Amen. Amen. 26:48 Colossians 3:3, if you like that one, Mollie. 26:52 I will sure take that. Okay. 26:53 "For as this world is concerned, you have died, 26:57 and you're in your real life, 26:59 is hidden with Christ in God." 27:02 I think we've covered that a bit but 27:08 when you make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, 27:11 when you come out of darkness and into life. 27:14 Then this world and the things of this world 27:18 are no longer pleasing to us. 27:20 Christ in us, becomes our hope of glory 27:24 and things change. 27:25 So for all intending purposes, 27:27 Shelley, we are dead to this world. 27:30 Now when you first... 27:32 it's a progression, 27:34 when you first come out of darkness and into light, 27:36 people could look at you and they may not 27:38 see a whole lot of difference. 27:40 It's a progressive work. 27:41 It's that work of sanctification. 27:43 I love that Word... 27:45 Which simply means to be set apart from evil. 27:47 And it's a progression as we work. 27:50 I remember, my friend, 27:52 I may have shared this with you 27:54 before but her name was Clara. 27:56 And Clara was a bartender in Las Vegas 28:01 and Clara drank wine and she smoked cigarettes 28:05 and Clara lived with a significant other. 28:09 And she was watching Christian television 28:13 and she got convicted. 28:15 And she made Jesus Christ, the Lord of her life, 28:18 she truly accepted Him as her Lord. 28:21 Guess what happened the next day? 28:23 Do you think that she didn't go to work? 28:26 And that she threw cigarettes out of the window, 28:28 and she threw her wine bottle away 28:30 and she kicked the man out? 28:32 No, the next day, Clara got a... 28:34 truly a child of a living God, 28:37 went to work as a bartender, 28:39 smoked her cigarettes and drank her wine 28:41 and came home to her boyfriend. 28:42 Now, because of the effectual powerful working 28:46 of the Word of God inside of her, 28:49 and she continued to watching Christian television. 28:52 Her life started to change. 28:54 Now if there is no scriptures that says, 28:58 "Thou shall not drink or work as a bartender 29:03 or smoke cigarettes." 29:04 There's no, Thus sayeth the Lord, 29:06 but what is there at, thus sayeth the Lord. 29:08 "Thou shall not commit adultery." 29:11 Is that in God's word? 29:12 God started dealing with her first, 29:14 with that sexual scene. 29:16 You know, first thing she did, Clara, 29:18 in her progression of dying to self and serving the Lord, 29:23 she kicked him out and told him, "I'm sorry." 29:26 The Word says, "I can do this." 29:29 And then, a slow progression, 29:31 that progression of sanctification, 29:33 when I knew Clara, 29:35 she had become a bright light in the kingdom of God, 29:39 she changed profession, 29:41 she was working for a Christian ministry, 29:43 she wouldn't even look at a bottle of wine. 29:47 So see, that sanctification process happened but 29:50 what I don't want is people to be discouraged, 29:53 no matter where you are in your Christian walk, 29:55 there is hope for you 29:58 and all you have to do is be headed in the right direction. 30:01 Ain't that true, Shelley? 30:03 Just ahead in the right direction, 30:05 allow God to fill, 30:06 run into the name of the Lord, 30:08 allow God to minister to you through the power of this word 30:12 and that sanctification process will continue. 30:15 Amen. 30:17 How do you feel that 30:18 this scripture fits in with comfort? 30:23 Colossians 3:3, 30:24 "As far as this world is concerned, 30:26 you've died but your new life, 30:28 your real life is hidden 30:30 with Christ in God." 30:32 How does that fit in with comfort? 30:34 I think, well, one of the... 30:39 the example that Mollie shared with us is perfect 30:42 because we can be 30:45 so deep in sin 30:50 that we can't see other things, 30:52 we cannot see a way out. 30:57 And some people don't even look for a way out, 30:59 until the light comes through 31:02 and you see, wow, 31:04 there's something aside, 31:07 there's something else 31:08 that I can be doing right now 31:10 with my life instead of what I'm doing. 31:12 So in a way, 31:14 you start going by the process of, 31:18 you have died 31:19 and your new real life is hiding 31:22 with Christ and God. 31:23 So you're a new person, is that resuscitation, 31:28 if you wanna say that way, in God, 31:31 is such a brand new experience 31:33 and I think that's a most wonderful thing, 31:35 that's a most wonderful real comfort 31:38 that a person can have, 31:39 that you can see yourself a brand new creature, 31:44 a brand new person. 31:46 Amen, amen. 31:47 You know, we symbolically, 31:49 we die when we're baptized, right? 31:50 I mean, it's symbolic of the death 31:51 that we've already had. 31:53 But when you think of it, 31:55 sometimes, you know, we all mess up, right? 31:58 And when we do... 32:04 it's like the devil wants to just beat us 32:06 over the head with a baton when you mess up. 32:09 This baton of guilt, 32:11 but just to think that, 32:12 "No, this isn't really me, this isn't my life, 32:16 I made a mistake here 32:17 but my real life is hidden with Christ in God." 32:22 I mean, to me, 32:23 that's that running into the name of the Lord, 32:26 that's, you know, feeling like he's got me embraced, 32:30 I'm hidden with Christ in God 32:33 and to me that brings the exceptional comfort. 32:37 This is something very interesting 32:38 because sometimes you said, "No, this is not me." 32:43 Because God created us 32:45 with a mind that is so willing to find Him. 32:49 Yes. 32:51 He put us this GPS in our minds, 32:54 if we are lost, 32:56 you know that you can find the way 32:58 and you know that you're not yourself 32:59 when you are doing the wrong things 33:01 because God didn't create us to do wrong things. 33:03 That's right. 33:04 It's a foreigner, 33:06 somebody who is outside of this circle of protection, 33:11 who has came to invade 33:13 and change our life for worse, for bad. 33:16 You know, what caught my attention here, 33:20 for you that are taking notes and everything, we just... 33:23 before Colossians 3:3, we just read Psalms 32:7, 33:28 where it says, 33:29 "Jesus, you are my hiding place, 33:32 you shall preserve me from trouble, 33:35 you shall surround me with songs of deliverance," 33:38 which is that progression we call it sanctification 33:41 and then we just got through reading Colossians 3:3, 33:44 "For as this world is concerned, we died, 33:48 and our new life is hidden with Christ in God." 33:51 Thank you, Jesus, 33:53 that now you are my hiding place. 33:55 Thank you, Jesus, that you now, 33:57 shall preserve from trouble. 34:00 Thank you, Jesus, 34:01 that you now surround me with songs of deliverance 34:05 and so here, 34:06 we're taking our hands 34:08 away from that of hit me against him 34:12 and putting into his hands and saying, 34:15 "Thank you, Jesus, for leading me 34:17 and for hiding me in your heart, 34:19 giving me that protection that I need so badly." 34:22 And what comfort, you know, when God comforts us 34:25 and he doesn't necessarily... 34:28 our problems don't always just go away 34:31 but he strengthens us to go through them, 34:34 he encourages, he gives us the hope 34:36 and the hope that we're hidden with Christ in God 34:39 is just really exciting to me. 34:41 All right, I'm gonna read Isaiah 43:1-3 34:44 and I'm gonna read this to you from the amplified version 34:47 and I love this, 34:49 you know, I think you and I should talk some day 34:52 because I know, we've been through some... 34:54 I think we've been through some similar things 34:57 but when things get bad, 35:01 if you grew up in a bad situation, 35:04 you have a tendency to... 35:09 rely on yourself. 35:12 Is that true? 35:13 You know, when you grew up in a situation 35:15 where you had to be your own shield and buckler 35:18 and your own protector and your own, 35:20 you have this tendency, 35:21 you kind of, become independent and you're proud of it 35:26 and so you learn to stand up 35:29 but inside you're quivering and shaking and carrying on 35:33 and I remember that 35:35 when I came to Isaiah 43:1-3, 35:40 the love of a covenant God 35:44 just came alive to me, 35:49 to think that he could love me in such an intimate way 35:51 and let me set this up first. 35:53 In Isaiah 42, 35:54 God has been sorrowing over his people 35:59 who have spiritually declined into chaos and he is just, 36:06 I mean, he's grieving over this, 36:08 he's upset about it but then in Isaiah 43, 36:13 he expresses, 36:15 he reaches out to them and says, 36:17 "I am going to give you mercy." 36:19 Listen to this, he says, Isaiah 43:1-3, 36:23 "Fear not, for I have redeemed you, 36:26 I have ransomed you by paying a price 36:29 instead of leaving you captives." 36:31 Halleluiah. 36:32 He says, "I have called you by your name, 36:37 you are mine." 36:38 That meant so much to me 36:41 'cause that's such an intimate relationship there. 36:44 If he... 36:45 to think that God knows my name, 36:47 I've never considered that before but he says, 36:50 "I've called you by your name, you are mine." 36:52 Of course, he does. 36:53 But this says, 36:54 "When you pass through the waters, 36:56 I will be with you." 36:58 Now this is, kind of, a covenant formula, 37:00 it was always the God of love who is saying, 37:04 "I will be your God, you will be my people, 37:07 I'll go with you wherever, I'll never leave you, 37:09 I'll never forsake you..." 37:10 So it says, 37:12 "When you pass through the waters, 37:13 " when all of this troubles coming over you, 37:16 "I will be with you and through the rivers, 37:19 they will not overwhelm you, when you walk through the fire, 37:23 you'll not be burned or scorched, 37:26 nor will the flame kindle upon you." 37:27 What does that remind you of? 37:29 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego 37:32 and he says, "For I am the Lord, your God, 37:35 the Holy one of Israel, your Savior." 37:40 What comfort this brings me and I hope that bring... 37:46 That's Isaiah 43:1-3, 37:48 to think that as a child, 37:54 Lynette, you may not have really known the Lord 37:57 but he knew you, 37:59 he knew your name and he was saying, 38:01 I'm not gonna let this overwhelm you, 38:03 this is not gonna take you out. 38:05 I'm gonna carry you through this 38:07 and he did and the same here 38:10 and I know each one of us could speak to that. 38:13 Look at what you've been through, 38:14 Bobby David says, you ought to write a book. 38:17 Well, he... 38:18 and every time something else happens, 38:20 he says, "And here's your next chapter, 38:23 "and I wanted to just mention that 38:28 in each one of the... 38:30 in every situation, 38:32 it seems like I got closer and closer 38:35 and closer to the Lord 38:37 and to where now, he is so real, 38:40 so God comforts us and you said little earlier, 38:45 He didn't always did leave you out of Him, 38:47 I am still in a lot of the situations 38:49 that I was in before. 38:51 And my precious Hal, 38:53 you all know him and you love him, 38:54 he just recently had a stroke. 38:56 On May 6th, he had a stroke 38:58 and he's got some aphasia 39:02 but he's progressing and getting better... 39:04 Explain what aphasia is. Aphasia is 39:05 inability to completely be able to express yourself, 39:09 word... he loses words. 39:12 He knows what he wants to say intellectually. 39:14 He is to very, very intelligent, 39:17 he just can't always speak properly 39:19 but something 39:20 that his speech therapist said to him, 39:23 it brings comfort. 39:26 She told him, "How when you're in a situation 39:29 and you can't... 39:31 in public, people that don't know, 39:33 all you have to do, is just say, 39:36 I've had a stroke." 39:38 And he's had to do that a couple of times 39:40 when people are thinking, 39:42 "Well, why aren't you answering my question?" 39:44 He just says, "I've had a stroke." 39:46 And this has happened without fail, 39:49 be it a waitress at the restaurant 39:52 or someone he just happens to bump into a croger, 39:55 whatever the situation, without fail, 39:57 they'll say, "Oh, my uncle had a stroke. 40:00 My dad had a stroke." 40:02 Everybody knows somebody 40:04 that's been in a similar situation 40:06 and here comes grace and mercy and comfort 40:10 and where as before how was would be feeling, 40:14 conspicuous and diminished. 40:17 Now that he knows how to properly identify, 40:21 what the situation is, we have, 40:24 we found nothing but comfort from those around us. 40:26 Praise God. Praise God. Amen, amen. 40:29 When you said that, you know, when you said that 40:32 he could save 40:34 what's happened and get comfort, 40:37 I don't know why this thought hit me, 40:39 it's like sometimes, 40:40 when I go to the Lord and you feel, 40:42 I disappointed you so much 40:44 and I'll just go to him and say, 40:45 "Remember, I'm just dust, 40:47 you know, and it's like, 40:49 he can say, 'I've had a stroke.' 40:50 " And that's identifying what's going on him 40:52 and I'll say to the Lord, 40:53 "Remember, I'm just dust and thank you, God, 40:55 that you're a God of mercy. 40:56 A God of grace, thank you, 40:58 that I don't have to save myself, 40:59 thank you, Lord." 41:01 You find such comfort in knowing 41:02 God does remember, we are but dust. 41:06 Amen. 41:07 Go ahead. No, no, no, please. 41:09 No, I wanna take next, go ahead. 41:10 Well, that verse on Isaiah 43. 41:17 It means a lot to me, what's my... 41:20 since I have recollection, 41:22 I think that was my first Bible verse 41:24 that my father taught me 41:27 but reading in Psalms, 41:31 I found the connection 41:34 and the background for this verse 41:37 and I wanna share this with you 41:38 before we move on to the next one. 41:41 In Psalms chapter or the Psalm 137, 41:46 Israel was in a lot of troubles being captive, 41:50 entirely without comfort and they say this, 41:55 this is sometimes when you're at to the lowest 41:58 of the lowest point of our lives. 42:01 Psalm 137 says, 42:03 "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, 42:08 yea, we wept when we remember Zion, 42:12 we hung our harps 42:16 upon the willows in the midst of it, 42:19 for they're those who carried us 42:21 away captive asked us to a song 42:24 and those who plundered at us, requested mirth, 42:28 saying, sing us one of the songs of Zion, 42:33 how shall we sing the Lord's song 42:35 in a foreign land?" 42:37 They were so sad, I mean, this is sad, 42:40 you think we're so lonely, feeling completely detaching, 42:45 abandoned from God, and then... 42:46 And then you're as a consequence 42:48 of their own sins... 42:49 Absolutely. 42:51 They were probably feeling guilty to do. 42:52 Yeah. And the guilt was absolutely real. 42:54 But then in Isaiah 43, 42:56 we read this wonderful promises, 43:01 "When you pass through the waters, 43:02 I will be with you and through the rivers, 43:05 I will not overwhelm you, when you walk through the fire, 43:08 you will now be burned or scorched." 43:11 It's so wonderful to see that God, 43:14 even so they went through all this sin 43:18 and abandoned God, 43:21 on going in different ways. 43:22 He still promised them deliverance 43:24 and eternal life. 43:26 Amen. God is merciful. 43:28 What it took me was, you know, here 43:30 Fear not, for I have redeemed you, 43:32 just wrote, "I have called you by name, 43:33 when you walk through the waters, 43:35 when you walk through the fire or anything" 43:36 and it remind me of Jeremiah 29:11, says, 43:39 "That's all right, JD, that's all right, Jorge Jaque." 43:42 'Cause I have plans for you. 43:44 Plans to prosper you, not harm you." 43:46 Plans to give you a hope and a future. 43:48 So, that I can tide in like that, you know. 43:51 Thank you, Jesus, 43:52 for your mercy, for your comfort. 43:54 Bringing us from the bottom. 43:56 You bet, you know. 43:59 All right, let's look at Psalms 34:18, 44:05 who would like to take Psalms 34:18? 44:10 I can do that. 44:11 Psalms is short enough for me. Yes. 44:14 Why don't go ahead and combine that 44:16 with the next one also, Psalm 147:3. 44:19 Okay, so we're going to be reading Psalm 34:18 44:22 and Psalm 147:3, it says, 44:26 "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, 44:30 and saves such as have a contrite spirit." 44:35 So, a broken heart, 44:38 you're suffering internally there, right? 44:41 And this is when you're feeling so oppressed 44:46 that your heart just feels like 44:48 it's been ripped out of your chest. 44:51 What is a contrite spirit? 44:53 Humble. 44:54 Yeah, somebody that's broken and humble, 44:56 as opposed to somebody 45:00 So here, what does that say to you, 45:03 if the Lord's near to those have a broken heart, 45:06 he saves those 45:07 who have that broken humble spirit, 45:10 when bad things happen, don't get mad at God. 45:12 Amen. 45:13 Don't get mad at God, call on Him 45:15 because He's the only one that can bring you out of that. 45:18 Okay, so go ahead. 45:20 Psalm 147:3 says, 45:22 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 45:28 Curing their pains and their sorrows." 45:30 That's amplified. 45:32 Psalm 147:3. That amplified but, yeah. 45:34 "He heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds." 45:36 Isn't that... 45:38 Does somebody wanna look up to Luke 4:18-21 because to me, 45:43 that's where this scripture leads me 45:45 is Luke 4:18-21, 45:48 when it says, "He heals the broken hearted." 45:50 Which is Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken hearted, 45:54 He binds up their wounds," 45:57 now read what Jesus said in Luke 4:18-21. 46:01 Right, this is the King James version, 46:03 so pardon me, if I stumble a little bit. 46:06 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 46:07 because He hath anointed me 46:09 to preach the gospel to the poor; 46:11 He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 46:13 to peach deliverance to the captives 46:15 and recovery of the sight to the blind, 46:18 and to set at liberty them, 46:20 that are bruised;" Through 21, did you say? 46:22 Yes. Okay. 46:23 "To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 46:26 And He closed the book, 46:27 and He gave it again to the minister 46:29 and He sat down. 46:30 And the eyes of all of them that were in the synagogue 46:32 were fastened on Him. 46:34 And He began to say unto them, 46:36 'This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears.' 46:39 Amen. 46:41 So, we all sitting here, 46:45 we've all had that time where God has healed our heart, 46:49 He's bound up the wounds of our heart, 46:52 applied that balm of Gilead and like I said, 46:56 I don't know how people go through things, 47:00 I don't know how somebody loses their spouse 47:03 and then goes on, you know, like older people, 47:07 when you hear that they've lost their spouse, 47:09 without the Lord, 47:11 I can't imagine going through that, 47:13 you know, I can't imagine how somebody can lose a child 47:18 and go on without the Lord. 47:20 How do they face these things without that hope 47:23 and encouragement from God? 47:25 I don't know. No. 47:28 It's difficult to think, 47:30 we have children and if one of them 47:33 and something happen one of the... 47:35 I always have that thought in my mind, 47:37 I don't know why but... 47:39 what am I gonna do? 47:40 I just... 47:41 I wanna die right there. 47:43 It's just the first thought that comes to my mind, 47:46 if something bad happened to one of my child, my children. 47:49 So... 47:50 I think that's a very natural thought. 47:52 Yeah, and I think there is a good thing 47:55 because probably that's the same way 47:58 God feels about us... 47:59 That's precious. 48:01 Because, yeah... 48:02 and the Bible says that 48:06 nobody will ever think to give to our child a rock 48:11 instead of bread and in the same way, 48:16 God will never think of harm us and by the contrary, 48:21 He will always, always be ready to lift us up. 48:24 He's always there thinking about us. 48:25 Even the most difficult, hardest things 48:27 that we've ever been through, 48:29 where was God in the midst of this 48:31 and there is the picture that is painted, 48:34 of two sets of foot prints 48:37 and you know where I'm going with this 48:39 and then there's only one. 48:40 God, where were you, when I lost my child? 48:43 You read that a little earlier, the Lord is what? 48:47 He's near to those who have a broken heart. 48:50 So He is there and He's carrying you through. 48:56 You only see the one set of foot prints. 48:59 Where were you in the midst of myself? 49:01 Well, I was holding onto you, I was carrying you through 49:05 and something that I have found, 49:07 I'll say it again. 49:09 The deeper the pain, 49:14 the more the trial, 49:16 the God is closer to you and when you come, see, 49:21 a lot of us say, we are victorious, 49:23 I'm an overcomer, how? 49:24 By the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony 49:26 and we say all of these things in a pleasant valley, 49:30 then comes the swelling of the Jordan. 49:33 How can you contend with the foot, 49:36 how can you run with the footmen 49:37 if you can't contend with the horses? 49:40 If you can't contend with the footmen 49:42 and so here we are, 49:43 in the midst of a really hard battle 49:47 and so God isn't nearly as interested in your saying, 49:53 all the right things on this side of the battle. 49:56 I am an overcomer, I am victorious, 49:58 I will never faint in the day of adversity, 50:01 it's when you're in the day of adversity, 50:03 He wants to see how you, 50:05 how you will contend to not only with the footmen 50:09 but how you can run with the horses. 50:11 And so in the midst of it, God is very near to you 50:15 and He's developing 50:16 His character on the inside of you, 50:19 as you make it through every hard situation, 50:23 every difficult situation that you got through, 50:25 as you get to the other side. 50:27 You were stronger, your testimony is stronger, 50:30 you're professing Him as never before. 50:35 And so that's the purpose for the difficult time. 50:37 You can even drown in your difficulties 50:39 or you can allow God to make you stronger, 50:42 as He walks you through these, absolutely. 50:44 Let me read Psalm 3:3 50:46 because this has such special meaning for me. 50:50 I love this verse and I remember praying this, 50:54 let me read it first. 50:56 Psalm 3:3 says "But you, O Lord, are a shield for me, 51:02 my glory, and the lifter of my head." 51:06 What is the shield used for? 51:08 It's to give you protection if you're under attack, right? 51:12 So God is a shield for me but then it's interesting 51:16 that he says, "My glory," you're my glory. 51:20 It's like he's saying, 'I find my honor, 51:22 I find my significance in you' 51:25 but then he says, "you're the lifter of my head." 51:27 I was praying for a friend, 51:30 she was morbidly obese, 51:31 her kidneys were failing 51:33 but she was four years older than her sister 51:39 and it reminded me of my difference in age 51:43 and my sister and the situation, 51:45 she was, kind of, like her sister's mother 51:47 as I had been. 51:48 Well, her sister had cancer, 51:51 God raised her up from that, 51:54 she had eight good years I believe 51:56 and it came back with the vengeance 51:58 and she died at quite an early age, 52:00 I don't believe she was even 45, maybe. 52:05 And my friend, Debbie, was so devastated. 52:10 So I had listened, I had prayed with her, 52:14 I mean, listened to her 52:15 and given her some encouragement 52:17 but then I started praying and as I was praying, 52:20 this verse came to my mind. 52:22 And I prayed and I said, 52:24 "Lord, you're the lifter of our heads," 52:28 I said, 'cause Debbie's head was so down. 52:31 I said, "Please cup your chin 52:34 under or cup your hand under her chin 52:37 and lift her face to you." 52:40 And she just started giggling on the other end of the phone 52:44 and I thought, "What's going on?" 52:45 I mean, she's giggling hysterically. 52:48 She said, "Shelley, it is so amazing." 52:51 She said, "Just before you said that, 52:55 I didn't even realize what you were saying," 52:56 but she said, 52:58 "I felt that pressure underneath my chin," 53:00 and then she said, 53:01 "And cup your hand under her chin 53:03 and lift her head to you." 53:05 And she said "That's just, 53:07 it's just like God did that for her," 53:10 and she was so comforted by that, 53:15 that God is the lifter of our head. 53:17 I just love that scripture. 53:20 What more can you say there? 53:21 All right. 53:23 Shelley, if I could 53:24 interject just a little bit of trivia here. 53:27 Shields were used for protection, 53:29 against the onslaught of the enemy. 53:31 Absolutely. 53:32 Shields were also used to bear the wounded. 53:35 That's precious. 53:36 So, you know, so Lord is removing you 53:39 perhaps from the field of battle 53:41 for a time to heal you. 53:42 He is carrying you, 53:43 not only in his arms but on his shield. 53:47 Your medieval trivia for the day. 53:50 What a precious thought. 53:51 That is absolutely precious. 53:53 So, all right, we only have just a few minutes left. 53:56 We got to get this last scripture in Deuteronomy 33:27. 54:01 Mollie, it's you. 54:03 "The eternal God is your refuge, 54:06 and underneath are the everlasting arms. 54:09 He will thrust off enemy from before you, 54:12 and will say, 'Destroy.' 54:15 Amen. Praise God. 54:16 He's our protector 54:17 and He's the one that holds us up. 54:20 And I've got a scripture here that I think goes with this, 54:24 when you're in those difficult sad places 54:27 where you're running into Him 54:29 and that is from insight 37 through 39, 54:31 then somebody's got to read Psalms 23. 54:35 Go read this one, the Romans 8. 54:37 No, read the Romans 8. Oh, okay. 54:38 "And in all of these things, 54:39 you are more than conquerors through Him who loves you. 54:42 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, 54:45 nor angels nor principalities nor powers, 54:48 neither things present, nor things to come, 54:50 neither heights nor depths, nor any other created thing, 54:53 shall be able to separate us from the love of God 54:56 which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." 54:58 No matter what the situation, make your comment, Shelley. 55:00 What I was just gonna say is that... 55:03 We've all got something. 55:05 We've all got something to say 55:06 but I remember saying on TV just recently, 55:08 within the last six months or so. 55:10 A little boy who was in a burning building 55:13 and the firemen couldn't get there in time 55:15 and there is a neighbor passing by and he sees, 55:18 the mother and her two little children 55:20 and the neighbor holds out his arms 55:23 and she drops his child from a third story floor, 55:26 he catches it and he catches the second one. 55:28 And I was just thinking, when God is saying, 55:31 "Underneath are the everlasting arms," 55:33 no matter, He is our only true refuge, 55:37 our only real security 55:39 and He's always there to catch us 55:41 when we stumble and fall, you know, it's just wonderful. 55:46 Go ahead, honey. 55:47 Well, I mean, we've all, 55:48 we can all just piggy back off with that, 55:50 you know, first of all, the 'eternal, 55:52 ' the 'eternal' is the key word. 55:53 Eternal God, but where it took me 55:55 was to Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. 55:59 Do not be afraid or terrified because of them," 56:02 the enemy, "for the Lord your God goes with you; 56:06 He will never leave you nor forsake you 56:09 because He is your refuge, 56:11 and underneath are His everlasting arms." 56:14 Amen. 56:16 So, Lynette, for you as an adult, 56:18 you could about 20 seconds here. 56:22 Is Jesus still your hiding place? 56:25 Ever and always, 56:26 even on the days when my prayer is, 56:29 "I believe, Lord, forgive thou my unbelief." 56:31 And when I'm struggling and I feel like, 56:33 I'm just catching under the hem of His robe. 56:36 He is my hiding place and my comforter 56:39 and I can't do it without Him. 56:44 I just can't. 56:46 I don't think any of us can. Sure. 56:49 I cannot believe how fast our time has passed. 56:51 Indeed. 56:52 But we just want to thank you for joining us tonight 56:56 and we pray, say a quick prayer here that, 57:00 God will be your comforter, you'll allow God to love you, 57:05 allow Him to comfort you, that you will 57:07 then share that comfort with others. 57:09 Honey? 57:10 Father, as we come to you in the name of Jesus. 57:12 All those that call upon your name, Lord, 57:14 we know that you hear their voice. 57:16 You have eyes to see, ears to hear. 57:18 So be with us, dear Lord, in our comings and our goings. 57:21 And, Father, where we're weak, 57:23 we just ask that you will indeed exchange 57:25 your strength for our weakness, we love you and thank you. 57:28 In Jesus name. Amen. 57:29 Amen. Amen. 57:30 Amen. Amen. |
