00:00:01.36\00:00:07.60
Mending broken people
00:00:07.64\00:00:12.67
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.71\00:00:18.85
Removing pain
00:00:18.88\00:00:23.95
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.99\00:00:29.82
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.86\00:00:34.56
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.60\00:00:40.47
Mending broken people
00:00:40.50\00:00:45.94
I want to spend my life

Mending broken people
00:00:51.31\00:00:56.92
Hello, family and friends.
00:01:07.33\00:01:08.90
Welcome to another
3ABN today family worship.
00:01:08.93\00:01:12.33
I don't know how
your week has been
00:01:12.37\00:01:14.57
but I know for Jill and myself,
and all of us here at 3ABN,
00:01:14.60\00:01:17.67
it's always busy spreading
God's word around the world.
00:01:17.71\00:01:21.04
But it's always a blessing
to come to the Sabbath hours
00:01:21.08\00:01:23.65
to gain that special rest,
00:01:23.68\00:01:25.61
and so it's a blessing to
me with you for family worship,
00:01:25.65\00:01:28.55
but not only are we gathering
together as family here
00:01:28.58\00:01:31.45
and you at home,
00:01:31.49\00:01:33.19
but it's also gathering
especially with Jesus Christ.
00:01:33.22\00:01:35.62
Our Lord and Savior here
00:01:35.66\00:01:37.03
as we open up the Sabbath hours.
00:01:37.06\00:01:38.39
And it's special, isn't it
to open with a family worship,
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.96
open the Sabbath?
00:01:41.00\00:01:42.33
It is, it's a privilege
to open Sabbath with worship.
00:01:42.36\00:01:44.80
Spend time in the word of God
00:01:44.83\00:01:46.74
with each other as brothers
and sisters and with you.
00:01:46.77\00:01:49.57
You are part of our 3ABN family.
00:01:49.60\00:01:51.71
And we are so glad to know
that you've chosen to open up
00:01:51.74\00:01:54.88
these sacred
hours with us together.
00:01:54.91\00:01:56.95
And we have part of our 3ABN
family around the table here.
00:01:56.98\00:02:00.42
Over on this side
is Brother Tim Parton,
00:02:00.45\00:02:03.28
and you are general manager
00:02:03.32\00:02:05.95
for the 3ABN
praise and music channel.
00:02:05.99\00:02:07.69
Right, right and it's a
wonderful privilege for me
00:02:07.72\00:02:10.26
to be here a part of this.
00:02:10.29\00:02:12.13
I love studying the word of God
00:02:12.16\00:02:14.06
but I love
studying it with others too
00:02:14.10\00:02:16.90
because it's great
how we as God's children
00:02:16.93\00:02:19.80
can share our
experiences and our situations
00:02:19.83\00:02:23.10
through the word and life
experiences with each other.
00:02:23.14\00:02:27.14
That's what it's
about, community.
00:02:27.18\00:02:28.88
You know, I held this position
at 3ABN as relatively new
00:02:28.91\00:02:31.38
but Tim you've been a part
of 3ABN for a number of years.
00:02:31.41\00:02:34.35
Right, yeah, since the
late 1900s, that's they say.
00:02:34.38\00:02:40.19
Wow! That seems
like a long time.
00:02:40.22\00:02:41.89
Right, doesn't it though.
00:02:41.92\00:02:43.32
It sounds like a long time,
00:02:43.36\00:02:44.69
but yeah I was privileged to be
a part of the recording studio,
00:02:44.73\00:02:47.53
the sound center.
00:02:47.56\00:02:48.90
Yes, you have.
00:02:48.93\00:02:50.27
And so I've
done several projects
00:02:50.30\00:02:51.90
for different various groups
and for Danny quite a bit.
00:02:51.93\00:02:55.10
So it's been great to
have become part of the family,
00:02:55.14\00:02:58.34
just got and grafted in.
00:02:58.37\00:02:59.81
So I'm thrilled
to be here today.
00:02:59.84\00:03:01.44
Well, we have to
say we appreciate you
00:03:01.48\00:03:02.84
because Jill and I
had the opportunity
00:03:02.88\00:03:04.81
to begin to travel
with you a little bit
00:03:04.85\00:03:06.58
on different 3ABN
events and we appreciate
00:03:06.61\00:03:08.62
your willingness to do anything.
00:03:08.65\00:03:10.75
That's a real,
you know, a serving,
00:03:10.79\00:03:12.75
and that's what it's all about
00:03:12.79\00:03:14.19
because we're all
in this thing together,
00:03:14.22\00:03:15.96
and we're here to spread
God's word around the world.
00:03:15.99\00:03:18.66
So it's a blessing.
00:03:18.69\00:03:20.03
Jill and I appreciate your
friendship working with you.
00:03:20.06\00:03:21.46
Thank you, I feel the
same. Thank you very much.
00:03:21.50\00:03:23.73
And on this side we have
Pastor Kenny and Chris Shelton,
00:03:23.77\00:03:27.04
and you are with
Behold the Lamb Ministries,
00:03:27.07\00:03:29.74
but you're part
of our 3ABN family,
00:03:29.77\00:03:32.71
and we appreciate
both of you so much,
00:03:32.74\00:03:34.98
your heart for God
and heart for His word
00:03:35.01\00:03:37.81
and for other people,
00:03:37.85\00:03:39.18
so it's a joy to
have you both here.
00:03:39.21\00:03:40.55
It's good to be here.
00:03:40.58\00:03:41.92
Thank you for an
opportunity once again
00:03:41.95\00:03:43.28
to study the word together.
00:03:43.32\00:03:44.65
We like that too.
00:03:44.69\00:03:46.02
Always study the word, right,
00:03:46.05\00:03:47.39
it helps to build us
up and to encourage us
00:03:47.42\00:03:48.76
and we pray it
will be a encouragement
00:03:48.79\00:03:50.23
to those at home too.
00:03:50.26\00:03:51.89
Actually as we were
preparing for this study today,
00:03:51.93\00:03:55.16
I have already been blessed.
00:03:55.20\00:03:56.90
I mean truly been blessed.
00:03:56.93\00:03:58.60
I think it's a wonderful study,
00:03:58.63\00:04:00.70
it's something
that we need to present,
00:04:00.74\00:04:02.87
and I just want to say that
I've also traveled with Tim,
00:04:02.90\00:04:06.21
that's how we became buddies.
00:04:06.24\00:04:07.74
He was my partner right there.
00:04:07.78\00:04:09.88
I have to hush him
because he just talk so much.
00:04:09.91\00:04:12.98
In the airplane...
00:04:13.01\00:04:14.35
We flew with Tim to
London and he didn't ever talk.
00:04:17.69\00:04:20.26
You didn't know, he did it.
00:04:20.29\00:04:21.62
No, he was great
though but it was nice,
00:04:21.66\00:04:24.93
I just like to
tease him about that,
00:04:24.96\00:04:27.06
but now truly this has
been already a real blessing
00:04:27.10\00:04:30.73
to study all these passages
00:04:30.77\00:04:32.27
and with things up for me today,
00:04:32.30\00:04:33.90
so I'm excited about this.
00:04:33.94\00:04:35.27
Yes, we are too.
00:04:35.30\00:04:36.64
We appreciate
both of you very much.
00:04:36.67\00:04:38.01
We appreciate the
counsel and the wisdom
00:04:38.04\00:04:39.37
that you pour into.
00:04:39.41\00:04:40.74
As young folk, it's
always a blessing, you know,
00:04:40.78\00:04:42.11
because God has, you
know, you guys have been
00:04:42.14\00:04:44.18
on the journey, you've been
with 3ABN since the beginning
00:04:44.21\00:04:46.01
and you know, I tell
you it's a lot of experience
00:04:46.05\00:04:48.38
that you have,
so thank you again.
00:04:48.42\00:04:49.98
Lord is using you
guys in a mighty way.
00:04:50.02\00:04:52.05
We'll praise the Lord for that.
00:04:52.09\00:04:53.52
We've come to love and
appreciate you folks too.
00:04:53.56\00:04:54.89
Thank you for having us today.
00:04:54.92\00:04:56.26
What a blessing? Thank you. Yes.
00:04:56.29\00:04:57.63
So we've been
talking about the topic.
00:04:57.66\00:04:59.06
What's the topic?
00:04:59.09\00:05:00.43
The topic is fear.
00:05:00.46\00:05:02.03
And this is a heavy topic,
00:05:02.06\00:05:04.30
but it's a topic
that I think we face
00:05:04.33\00:05:06.84
as believers and non-believers.
00:05:06.87\00:05:08.60
As Christians
whether you are in the church
00:05:08.64\00:05:10.04
or outside the
church, we all face fear.
00:05:10.07\00:05:12.67
And we want to go
to the word of God
00:05:12.71\00:05:14.08
and see how God wants
us to do deal with fear.
00:05:14.11\00:05:17.35
How He wants to give us
victory but before we do that...
00:05:17.38\00:05:20.22
Well, let, we should pray?
We should before we can sing.
00:05:20.25\00:05:22.52
And then we got
to have some music
00:05:22.55\00:05:23.89
and Tim is gonna run over
to the piano and play for us.
00:05:23.92\00:05:25.65
Yeah, with Tim here, we
got to have some music, right.
00:05:25.69\00:05:28.46
So we get to sing some songs
in just a couple of minutes,
00:05:28.49\00:05:30.49
but Pastor Kenny would you
mind to open in prayer for us.
00:05:30.53\00:05:33.16
Yes, let's pray.
00:05:33.19\00:05:34.53
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:05:34.56\00:05:35.90
truly we thank you
for the opportunity
00:05:35.93\00:05:37.27
and privilege to be
part of the family of God.
00:05:37.30\00:05:39.57
We thank you to talk about
00:05:39.60\00:05:41.64
the beginning of
the Sabbath hours.
00:05:41.67\00:05:43.00
We thank you for
the family worship.
00:05:43.04\00:05:44.94
Thankful for
those who are listening,
00:05:44.97\00:05:46.31
those who are viewing,
00:05:46.34\00:05:47.68
those who will feel the touch
of the spirit of the living God
00:05:47.71\00:05:50.41
as the ages of the bread
of life as just is opened up
00:05:50.45\00:05:54.15
and that we receive it
with thanksgiving in our hearts
00:05:54.18\00:05:55.88
and in our minds.
00:05:55.92\00:05:57.25
Open our minds, we may
hear you still small voice.
00:05:57.29\00:06:00.29
Thank you for this privilege,
00:06:00.32\00:06:01.66
we thank you that
Jesus died for us.
00:06:01.69\00:06:04.13
Thank you for Calvary,
00:06:04.16\00:06:05.79
Lord as we look at
this topic of fear,
00:06:05.83\00:06:09.63
Lord we need to understand.
00:06:09.66\00:06:11.43
We need to know
there is millions
00:06:11.47\00:06:13.67
who are going
through this situation
00:06:13.70\00:06:15.30
and we just ask
for divine guidance.
00:06:15.34\00:06:16.71
Bless us now, we pray to
this and everything said,
00:06:16.74\00:06:19.64
everything done will
only bring honor and glory
00:06:19.67\00:06:21.94
as we stand behind
the cross of Calvary
00:06:21.98\00:06:23.81
in Jesus name.
00:06:23.85\00:06:25.21
Amen. Amen.
00:06:25.25\00:06:26.92
As we get ready
to do the music here
00:06:26.95\00:06:29.68
at the piano
just off to my right,
00:06:29.72\00:06:31.05
so Tim is heading over
there to get close to the piano
00:06:31.09\00:06:33.05
and play the keys.
00:06:33.09\00:06:34.76
We have a wonderful
song, a couple of songs.
00:06:34.79\00:06:36.52
The first one is
"The Lord is My Light."
00:06:36.56\00:06:38.46
And we hope that you sing along.
00:06:38.49\00:06:39.83
Not just sit in
the home and say wow!
00:06:39.86\00:06:41.20
They're singing a nice song.
00:06:41.23\00:06:42.56
But that you participate
'cause this is participation...
00:06:42.60\00:06:44.53
We need help. Yes.
00:06:44.57\00:06:45.90
Yeah, that's true.
00:06:45.93\00:06:48.54
To me it's making a
joyful noise together.
00:06:48.57\00:06:51.34
With your brothers
and sisters at home
00:06:51.37\00:06:53.27
and these two songs we chose
because they deal with fear
00:06:53.31\00:06:56.78
and how God wants
to bring us victory.
00:06:56.81\00:06:58.98
"The Lord is My Light."
00:06:59.01\00:07:00.35
The Lord is my light,
then why should I fear?
00:07:07.16\00:07:13.36
By day and by night
his presence is near
00:07:13.40\00:07:18.83
He is my salvation
from sorrow and sin
00:07:18.87\00:07:24.47
This blessed
persuasion the Spirit brings in
00:07:24.51\00:07:30.58
The Lord is my
light, my joy and my song
00:07:30.61\00:07:36.45
By day and by night
00:07:36.48\00:07:39.12
He leads me along
00:07:39.15\00:07:42.46
The Lord is my
light, my joy and my song
00:07:42.49\00:07:48.26
By day and by night
00:07:48.30\00:07:51.03
He leads me along
00:07:51.07\00:07:55.44
The Lord is my
light, my all and in all
00:07:55.47\00:08:01.51
There is in his
sight no darkness at all
00:08:01.54\00:08:07.28
He is my Redeemer,
my Savior, and King
00:08:07.32\00:08:13.46
With saints and with angels
00:08:13.49\00:08:16.52
His praises I sing.
00:08:16.56\00:08:19.69
The Lord is my
light, my joy and my song
00:08:19.73\00:08:25.33
By day and by night
00:08:25.37\00:08:27.97
He leads me along
00:08:28.00\00:08:31.47
The Lord is my
light, my joy and my song
00:08:31.51\00:08:37.51
By day and by night
00:08:37.55\00:08:40.28
He leads me along
00:08:40.32\00:08:44.49
Amen. Amen.
00:08:44.52\00:08:45.85
What a song? Beautiful song.
00:08:45.89\00:08:47.22
We can almost really
hear you guys singing at home.
00:08:47.26\00:08:49.39
I mean we can't quite
but we can imagine it.
00:08:49.42\00:08:51.33
So thank you for joining us.
00:08:51.36\00:08:52.69
The Lord is my light, you know
00:08:52.73\00:08:54.06
my joy, my life, my
song, isn't that great?
00:08:54.10\00:08:57.17
We've nothing to fear do we? No.
00:08:57.20\00:08:58.63
For the future. Amen.
00:08:58.67\00:09:00.04

00:09:40.61\00:09:45.28
A shade by day, defense by night
00:09:45.31\00:09:50.29
A shelter in the time of storm
00:09:50.32\00:09:54.42
No fears alarm. No foes affright
00:09:54.46\00:09:58.89
A shelter in the time of storm
00:09:58.93\00:10:03.06
Mighty Rock in a weary land
00:10:03.10\00:10:07.44
Cooling shade
on the burning sand
00:10:07.47\00:10:12.17
Faithful God
for the pilgrim band
00:10:12.21\00:10:16.88
A shelter in the time of storm
00:10:16.91\00:10:20.08
One more time.
00:10:20.12\00:10:21.45
Mighty rock in a weary land
00:10:21.48\00:10:25.62
Cooling shade
on the burning sand
00:10:25.65\00:10:30.06
Faithful God
for the pilgrim band
00:10:30.09\00:10:35.00
A shelter in the time of storm
00:10:35.03\00:10:37.90
Amen.
00:10:41.74\00:10:44.37
When Tim Parton plays
the piano, I want to sing.
00:10:44.41\00:10:47.01
I was gonna say the same thing.
It means you want to sing.
00:10:47.04\00:10:50.88
We just thank you,
Tim, that's a blessing.
00:10:50.91\00:10:53.92
Thank you, Tim.
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.28
Well, I'll reveal
some secrets in a moment
00:10:55.32\00:10:58.75
as we get into
this on discussion.
00:10:58.79\00:11:01.49
Boy, now you made me curious.
00:11:01.52\00:11:02.86
Well, so thank you for
using your gift, you know,
00:11:02.89\00:11:06.03
one of your many
gifts for the Lord.
00:11:06.06\00:11:07.40
We appreciate...
00:11:07.43\00:11:08.76
Amen. That's
encouraging, isn't it?
00:11:08.80\00:11:10.50
But again God is
our shelter, isn't He?
00:11:10.53\00:11:11.93
Yes, He is.
00:11:11.97\00:11:13.30
At time of storm
and the thing is,
00:11:13.34\00:11:14.90
I have to say
probably everybody...
00:11:14.94\00:11:16.30
don't you think
goes through storm?
00:11:16.34\00:11:17.67
Oh, my yes. Multiple storms.
00:11:17.71\00:11:19.67
Yes, thank you, yes.
00:11:19.71\00:11:21.28
I know in my own
life, you know, many storms
00:11:21.31\00:11:22.64
but the thing is to
hang on to Jesus Christ.
00:11:22.68\00:11:24.75
We have nothing
to fear, so you know,
00:11:24.78\00:11:26.75
it launches in
our topic of fear.
00:11:26.78\00:11:28.42
So we are talking
about fear tonight.
00:11:28.45\00:11:29.82
So what is if we
start out like maybe
00:11:29.85\00:11:32.39
a definition or what is fear?
00:11:32.42\00:11:34.56
Anyone want to
jump in, what is fear?
00:11:34.59\00:11:37.56
Chris?
00:11:37.59\00:11:38.99
It's an unpleasant emotion,
it's being afraid of something
00:11:39.03\00:11:44.47
or someone that we
think may hurt us or harm us
00:11:44.50\00:11:47.80
or may change
our lives in some way
00:11:47.84\00:11:50.17
and somehow you know.
00:11:50.21\00:11:51.54
So it's something that...
00:11:51.57\00:11:53.27
It affects us
not only spiritually
00:11:53.31\00:11:55.68
but it affects us
neurologically, internally,
00:11:55.71\00:11:59.18
your whole body
physically you'll feel it.
00:11:59.21\00:12:01.45
You'll feel it in your stomach,
you'll feel it in your chest,
00:12:01.48\00:12:04.05
everywhere so fear can...
00:12:04.09\00:12:05.69
It's a real enemy,
it can really grip us.
00:12:05.72\00:12:07.99
So, let me ask this question,
00:12:08.02\00:12:09.36
then I'm gonna put
everyone on the spot
00:12:09.39\00:12:10.73
when we play we
gonna raise your hand.
00:12:10.76\00:12:12.09
Everybody, I'm gonna ask Robert
to go to take a Hawaii shot.
00:12:12.13\00:12:15.60
So how many of us have
been afraid, raise your hand.
00:12:15.63\00:12:19.60
We all raise our
hand here. Oh yes.
00:12:19.63\00:12:21.17
Oh yes. Two hands.
00:12:21.20\00:12:22.87
Two hands. It's true.
00:12:22.90\00:12:24.51
You at home, raise
your hand, I'm sure.
00:12:24.54\00:12:26.54
You know, it's
definitely something, Chris,
00:12:26.57\00:12:28.94
that all of us
also started to face it.
00:12:28.98\00:12:31.08
But you know what, I
was reminded when you ask
00:12:31.11\00:12:32.98
for the definition
that as Christians we look,
00:12:33.01\00:12:35.88
it's two fold, you know
what the fear the spiritual,
00:12:35.92\00:12:39.75
how we're to fear God
and give glory to him,
00:12:39.79\00:12:42.62
and then there is
the fear of the enemy.
00:12:42.66\00:12:45.03
And so I've always,
you know, been reminded
00:12:45.06\00:12:47.23
and going over in
time that you know devil,
00:12:47.26\00:12:50.03
he is a copycat, you know
00:12:50.07\00:12:52.00
as he would never come
up with anything original,
00:12:52.03\00:12:54.40
so God ask us to fear him,
00:12:54.44\00:12:56.40
you know in that
reverence and respect.
00:12:56.44\00:12:58.14
So that's one
aspect ever so I know,
00:12:58.17\00:13:00.58
we're not just dwell no just
fear that the devil is gonna
00:13:00.61\00:13:03.31
fear God, give glory to him,
00:13:03.35\00:13:04.68
and then on the other
hand the devil say hmm,
00:13:04.71\00:13:06.68
okay I'll use the same word
fear but I'll put it in them
00:13:06.72\00:13:09.88
to try to make them do something
00:13:09.92\00:13:11.49
they really don't want
to do and I will, you know,
00:13:11.52\00:13:13.96
put a blight on his character.
00:13:13.99\00:13:15.66
I'm glad you brought
that up because then really
00:13:15.69\00:13:18.03
there is actually,
um, a good side of fear.
00:13:18.06\00:13:21.43
Could we say that? Absolutely.
00:13:21.46\00:13:23.47
It's the definition when
00:13:23.50\00:13:25.10
you look at the spiritual
side of it and then you look
00:13:25.13\00:13:28.00
at the
counterfeit fear of the devil,
00:13:28.04\00:13:30.81
the enemy because I know
in my own life, lot of times,
00:13:30.84\00:13:33.41
the fear comes to everyone
in a lot of different ways
00:13:33.44\00:13:37.15
and usually is when
our faith might be weak,
00:13:37.18\00:13:41.52
going through difficult
times and we've been struggling
00:13:41.55\00:13:43.59
maybe for days
or weeks or months
00:13:43.62\00:13:45.25
and we're really
low down spiritually
00:13:45.29\00:13:47.32
and the devil just
tries to really work you over
00:13:47.36\00:13:49.36
and pretty soon we
find, and we fear everything
00:13:49.39\00:13:52.99
and everybody because we
just don't know what to expect.
00:13:53.03\00:13:56.77
Kind of almost
become paranoid. Exactly.
00:13:56.80\00:13:58.73
I like what you said
because the fear of the Lord
00:13:58.77\00:14:00.50
is the beginning of wisdom.
00:14:00.54\00:14:02.27
So you think then fear the Lord
as far as reverence, worship,
00:14:02.30\00:14:07.31
all for God is a good thing.
00:14:07.34\00:14:09.38
As we think about fear,
00:14:09.41\00:14:11.25
you mentioned about
the physical aspects
00:14:11.28\00:14:13.05
of what fear can do to us.
00:14:13.08\00:14:14.42
Do you think fear is chronic
00:14:14.45\00:14:17.22
or in some of our lives
can fear be a chronic condition
00:14:17.25\00:14:20.26
or is fear one of
those fighter flight like,
00:14:20.29\00:14:23.06
I go out to hang
clothes on the line
00:14:23.09\00:14:24.49
and this really happened,
00:14:24.53\00:14:25.86
and there was a
snake in the grass.
00:14:25.89\00:14:27.26
Okay, well that was
an instant fear like...
00:14:27.30\00:14:29.33
Oh, there is a snake, right.
00:14:29.36\00:14:31.43
Then all of a sudden,
okay, it's just a snake.
00:14:31.47\00:14:34.34
It's a black snake
and it's not poisonous.
00:14:34.37\00:14:36.94
You know, I believe that fear
can become our common reaction
00:14:36.97\00:14:42.51
to things just like you
say out, it's a chronic,
00:14:42.54\00:14:45.25
it's just the way,
00:14:45.28\00:14:46.61
it's the first thing
that we think of to do,
00:14:46.65\00:14:48.48
instead of trusting
God for a situation,
00:14:48.52\00:14:50.99
for his outcome,
00:14:51.02\00:14:52.49
what we know we
shouldn't worry about or fear,
00:14:52.52\00:14:57.96
that's just
sometime the way we...
00:14:57.99\00:15:00.50
that's where we go to.
00:15:00.53\00:15:02.10
It also is our fighter flight,
00:15:02.13\00:15:04.20
I believe fighter flight
is what God has put in us
00:15:04.23\00:15:07.40
to be afraid of the things
that we should be afraid of.
00:15:07.44\00:15:10.67
Just like running toward
the edge of the Grand Cannon,
00:15:10.71\00:15:12.61
just jump of the edge...
00:15:12.64\00:15:13.98
Oh, mercy. Fear of
falling of the edge.
00:15:14.01\00:15:16.54
Right, but there are people
00:15:16.58\00:15:17.91
who won't leave
their homes for fear,
00:15:17.95\00:15:20.08
there are different situations
they don't put themselves into
00:15:20.12\00:15:23.99
because they are
afraid of it even when it's...
00:15:24.02\00:15:27.22
Even if they have somebody that
will help them go through it,
00:15:27.26\00:15:30.86
they don't want
to put themselves in,
00:15:30.89\00:15:32.49
I mean, public
speaking as I was mentioning
00:15:32.53\00:15:35.40
about playing the
secret I was going to give,
00:15:35.43\00:15:38.43
those two songs we sang,
00:15:38.47\00:15:41.00
I didn't know
either one of them,
00:15:41.04\00:15:43.51
and so I was over
there thinking, okay,
00:15:43.54\00:15:46.17
they want me to play 'em,
so I'm trying to read them
00:15:46.21\00:15:49.81
but they were too high
for you the way in the key
00:15:49.84\00:15:52.45
that they're written,
so I was transposing them
00:15:52.48\00:15:55.85
and I'm trying to
think now how does this go
00:15:55.88\00:15:58.22
and then you want
me to sing them as well
00:15:58.25\00:16:00.66
and so I'm like I'm still,
00:16:00.69\00:16:03.49
my body is still
like, okay is that over yet.
00:16:03.53\00:16:06.76
I'm so, so I'm recovering
00:16:06.80\00:16:08.83
but so, and I know a
lot of people that you know
00:16:08.86\00:16:12.93
due to their fear of public
speaking or doing anything
00:16:12.97\00:16:17.71
that is outside of
their comfort zone.
00:16:17.74\00:16:19.94
The fear right then and there
if you've really been fearful,
00:16:19.97\00:16:24.15
you'd be unlike
I would have been,
00:16:24.18\00:16:25.51
I don't know the
song, I can't transpose it,
00:16:25.55\00:16:28.02
I can't change keys, no
I'm not even gonna try it.
00:16:28.05\00:16:30.92
I didn't know I had that option.
00:16:30.95\00:16:32.42
I didn't know I
had the choice if I...
00:16:32.45\00:16:35.66
I'm saying, it wasn't...
00:16:35.69\00:16:37.03
It was good, and what
did you do when you go out,
00:16:37.06\00:16:39.93
was it to hang clothes?
00:16:39.96\00:16:41.80
What's the first thing
you do when you went out
00:16:41.83\00:16:43.37
with the next batch
next week to hang them up,
00:16:43.40\00:16:44.93
did you look down?
00:16:44.97\00:16:46.30
You kind of
check the grass first.
00:16:46.33\00:16:48.87
Yeah, but it was a
different fear maybe that,
00:16:48.90\00:16:50.74
you know what I'm
saying, it was working cautious.
00:16:50.77\00:16:52.34
We can call healthy
respect. Right. Thank you.
00:16:52.37\00:16:54.08
And I like that
she pointed out chronic
00:16:54.11\00:16:56.01
because I believe that
people, well, in times the past
00:16:56.04\00:16:59.88
we say they live on drama,
00:16:59.91\00:17:01.38
there always has to
be something fearful,
00:17:01.42\00:17:03.69
something going
on, some situation
00:17:03.72\00:17:06.49
and they're never at peace,
00:17:06.52\00:17:09.59
and I believe that we can
actually get in a chronic rut
00:17:09.62\00:17:13.63
as it were, where
we're giving into a fear,
00:17:13.66\00:17:17.03
and so I love what we're
gonna do today because God,
00:17:17.07\00:17:20.70
in the word of
God He addresses this
00:17:20.74\00:17:23.14
and He re-teaches us, you know,
00:17:23.17\00:17:24.74
through our walk with
Him, He is always teaching,
00:17:24.77\00:17:27.61
He is always re-teaching us.
00:17:27.64\00:17:30.01
And so as we learn
these wonderful principles,
00:17:30.05\00:17:32.61
His wonderful promises,
00:17:32.65\00:17:34.82
I think we can
learn to claim them,
00:17:34.85\00:17:36.69
and that chronic
fear will go away.
00:17:36.72\00:17:38.62
We may always be surprised
and startled, you know,
00:17:38.65\00:17:43.59
and there is also
a difference between
00:17:43.63\00:17:45.59
being nervous and fearful.
00:17:45.63\00:17:47.46
You know, there is a
little difference there,
00:17:47.50\00:17:50.27
you know, if that
was fear on the piano,
00:17:50.30\00:17:52.43
I sure wish I had that.
00:17:52.47\00:17:54.17
I wish I can do
that but you see this,
00:17:54.20\00:17:57.97
it can be a crippling,
00:17:58.01\00:17:59.64
absolutely a
crippling chronic condition
00:17:59.67\00:18:04.78
from many, many people.
00:18:04.81\00:18:06.15
And it's something
that we need to change
00:18:06.18\00:18:08.38
because God is not pleased.
00:18:08.42\00:18:09.85
It actually
represses the Holy Spirit.
00:18:09.88\00:18:12.12
He is not pleased with our fear.
00:18:12.15\00:18:14.79
Or I think Satan
realizes that, you know,
00:18:14.82\00:18:16.26
he knows that God has a calling
on our life and take it away.
00:18:16.29\00:18:18.79
Yeah.
00:18:18.83\00:18:20.20
So then he wants to strike fear
in our own hearts to keep us
00:18:20.23\00:18:22.63
from doing what God is
actually called us to do.
00:18:22.66\00:18:25.30
You know in my
own life, you know,
00:18:25.33\00:18:26.67
talking about public speaking,
I don't like to get upfront.
00:18:26.70\00:18:29.20
I don't at all,
I don't like that,
00:18:29.24\00:18:31.74
but I know at times God
calls me forward to do that,
00:18:31.77\00:18:34.54
and so you need
to then say okay,
00:18:34.58\00:18:36.88
get thee behind me Satan,
00:18:36.91\00:18:38.55
God you called me to do
this and I have nothing to fear.
00:18:38.58\00:18:42.18
God, you are with me.
00:18:42.22\00:18:43.62
I think I know the
feeling of, you know,
00:18:43.65\00:18:44.99
I was talking about your knees
smarting one against the other.
00:18:45.02\00:18:48.42
When I first started out,
00:18:48.46\00:18:50.23
it felt like any
moment as it 18 or a 20
00:18:50.26\00:18:54.06
just trying to speak
one, you know with my...
00:18:54.10\00:18:56.16
I thought
people could hear them.
00:18:56.20\00:18:57.63
My legs will
shake, they would shake.
00:18:57.67\00:18:59.00
Because they were shaking,
00:18:59.03\00:19:00.37
I felt like they
might give away any moment,
00:19:00.40\00:19:01.74
and at the same time in my mind,
00:19:01.77\00:19:03.24
I'm saying, I'm not
gonna able to do this again.
00:19:03.27\00:19:06.01
It's just not to
me, it wasn't worth it
00:19:06.04\00:19:08.11
'cause it just, you know,
you're just a nervous wreck.
00:19:08.14\00:19:10.78
But now I sense as you do
what God has asked you to do
00:19:10.81\00:19:15.58
that they are still after all
of these years there are still,
00:19:15.62\00:19:20.12
I'm gonna say this a fear,
every time I get up to speak.
00:19:20.16\00:19:24.79
Not the nervous necessarily.
00:19:24.83\00:19:27.53
Not the nervous or shaky
but the fear that I'm not...
00:19:27.56\00:19:30.93
I want to do what
God wants me to do
00:19:30.97\00:19:33.00
and say what I need to say,
00:19:33.03\00:19:34.94
to me that's a
different kind of a fear,
00:19:34.97\00:19:37.07
am I gonna be pleasing
to him and he always says,
00:19:37.11\00:19:40.08
if you've heard my
voice and what you've studied,
00:19:40.11\00:19:42.94
you're getting ready
to make a mess of it,
00:19:42.98\00:19:44.31
but I'm gonna make it
right in the ear of the people,
00:19:44.35\00:19:48.02
so there is a difference so...
00:19:48.05\00:19:50.25
Can I call that a concern.
00:19:50.29\00:19:52.25
Yeah, it's a
concern to please God,
00:19:52.29\00:19:54.66
but to me it's all you say
after all these years sure,
00:19:54.69\00:19:57.13
you don't get in,
not as far as people
00:19:57.16\00:19:59.43
whether one or ten
thousand it wouldn't matter,
00:19:59.46\00:20:02.70
but I do have that,
that's what gonna go,
00:20:02.73\00:20:05.43
I become accountable.
00:20:05.47\00:20:06.84
You feel that, Tim, accountable.
00:20:06.87\00:20:08.30
Well, I think that's important
because God calls us to that
00:20:08.34\00:20:10.61
'cause we are each
accountable to God for the gifts
00:20:10.64\00:20:12.57
that he has given
us and as we use them
00:20:12.61\00:20:14.64
and I just want
to apologize, Tim.
00:20:14.68\00:20:16.68
Sorry we put you on the spot
and make you play those songs.
00:20:16.71\00:20:19.58
I grew, I grew
in that experience.
00:20:19.61\00:20:21.45
So we've grown.
00:20:21.48\00:20:22.82
I know to trust God,
step right out there.
00:20:22.85\00:20:24.69
And so just you are
aware, there were no edits,
00:20:24.72\00:20:26.89
he actually got up from
here, went to the piano,
00:20:26.92\00:20:28.69
stop and came back
so, yes, he did that live.
00:20:28.72\00:20:31.59
Thank you, Tim.
00:20:31.63\00:20:33.09
Let's go the word of God
here sharing some experiences.
00:20:33.13\00:20:35.46
Let's go to the word of God.
00:20:35.50\00:20:37.27
So open your Bible
too, get your Bible.
00:20:37.30\00:20:38.63
Let's go to Psalm
27 our first scripture
00:20:38.67\00:20:40.77
and then we just go through
and see what we get through.
00:20:40.80\00:20:42.80
We're talking about who
or what am I afraid off.
00:20:42.84\00:20:45.57
In Psalm 27:1,
00:20:45.61\00:20:48.34
whoever gets that
first, you want to read that.
00:20:48.38\00:20:51.61
Kind of goes along
with the song we sang.
00:20:51.65\00:20:54.68
Yeah, Psalm 27, Tim,
you want to read that?
00:20:54.72\00:20:56.79
Yes, The Lord is my
light and my salvation,
00:20:56.82\00:20:58.92
Whom shall I fear?
00:20:58.95\00:21:00.72
The Lord is the refuge
and strong hold of my life,
00:21:00.76\00:21:03.79
Of whom shall I be afraid?
What does that say to you?
00:21:03.83\00:21:07.46
Boy, there's a lot
packed into that verse for sure.
00:21:07.50\00:21:09.96
Yeah, several times
throughout the Psalms
00:21:10.00\00:21:13.50
the psalmist says
the Lord is my light
00:21:13.54\00:21:15.17
and my salvation.
00:21:15.20\00:21:16.54
You know it's whom shall I fear,
00:21:16.57\00:21:18.67
whom shall I be afraid.
00:21:18.71\00:21:21.78
I mean, that...
00:21:21.81\00:21:24.58
I don't know
that's whom shall I fear?
00:21:24.61\00:21:27.72
I fear no man, I mean,
that pretty much says it
00:21:27.75\00:21:30.82
but it's difficult
00:21:30.85\00:21:33.62
when you're going
through a physical situation,
00:21:33.66\00:21:36.73
you know, to know
what to do with that.
00:21:36.76\00:21:41.76
You know how do I not fear a
situation or dread situation.
00:21:41.80\00:21:46.84
I think we are coming to that
00:21:46.87\00:21:48.70
and maybe we'll
come sooner than later
00:21:48.74\00:21:50.67
but there is a key,
00:21:50.71\00:21:52.81
there is a remedy
and I found this...
00:21:52.84\00:21:56.11
Yeah, it quotes the
principles in the Bible
00:21:56.14\00:21:59.68
and we're gonna be
reading this as part of it
00:21:59.71\00:22:01.62
because you have faith in God,
00:22:01.65\00:22:04.19
and God is all
consuming, all powerful.
00:22:04.22\00:22:07.22
He can take care of us.
00:22:07.26\00:22:08.92
He tells us not to fear
those who can kill the body
00:22:08.96\00:22:11.53
but to fear him who can
destroy the body and the soul.
00:22:11.56\00:22:15.96
You know, so in
other words this house
00:22:16.00\00:22:17.90
that he has put
me in temporarily,
00:22:17.93\00:22:19.93
if something
were to happen to it,
00:22:19.97\00:22:21.50
he's gonna give
me another vessel.
00:22:21.54\00:22:23.57
You know, so it's
a beautiful theme,
00:22:23.61\00:22:25.41
but the remedy,
00:22:25.44\00:22:27.34
this is found in Faith
I live by, it's page 156,
00:22:27.38\00:22:31.25
it says hope and
courage are essential.
00:22:31.28\00:22:35.58
Hope and courage are essential
to perfect service for God.
00:22:35.62\00:22:40.66
These are the fruit of faith.
00:22:40.69\00:22:42.92
I'm going on, I'm gonna
skip down, here it says,
00:22:42.96\00:22:44.89
for the disheartened
there is a sure remedy,
00:22:44.93\00:22:49.13
faith, prayer, work.
00:22:49.16\00:22:52.03
Faith and activity will impart
assurance and satisfaction
00:22:52.07\00:22:55.54
that will increase day by day...
00:22:55.57\00:22:57.44
In the darkest days,
00:22:57.47\00:22:59.54
when appearances
seem most forbidding,
00:22:59.57\00:23:03.55
fear not, have faith in God.
00:23:03.58\00:23:06.05
So that's part of what that is
00:23:06.08\00:23:08.02
and we have to learn to let go.
00:23:08.05\00:23:11.79
This has been a
life long process for me,
00:23:11.82\00:23:14.89
it is a process.
00:23:14.92\00:23:16.26
I wanted to come in
00:23:16.29\00:23:19.09
'cause I even
have a promise up here.
00:23:19.13\00:23:21.83
I can remember
just crying on my knees
00:23:21.86\00:23:24.33
and thinking there is
no hope, I've been to bad.
00:23:24.37\00:23:28.50
I've done too many things.
00:23:28.54\00:23:30.47
How can God
forgive that, you see.
00:23:30.51\00:23:34.18
And I don't want to
get too deep into it
00:23:34.21\00:23:36.24
but God what you know,
what he is looking for contrite
00:23:36.28\00:23:40.02
and honest heart,
00:23:40.05\00:23:41.58
but at the same time
00:23:41.62\00:23:42.95
he doesn't want
us to stay there.
00:23:42.98\00:23:45.09
He wants us to have hope,
have faith in that salvation
00:23:45.12\00:23:49.06
and turn that into work
00:23:49.09\00:23:50.89
'cause as we're blessing others,
00:23:50.93\00:23:52.59
then we become
blessed, and it's a process.
00:23:52.63\00:23:54.63
Brother Tim just
put that into operation.
00:23:54.66\00:23:56.60
It just made so much more
assist to me when you read that
00:23:56.63\00:23:58.73
because it took
faith to do what you do,
00:23:58.77\00:24:01.57
but also it took work.
00:24:01.60\00:24:02.97
You stayed with
it, faith and prayer
00:24:03.00\00:24:04.74
oh, Lord help me to
get this thing right.
00:24:04.77\00:24:06.44
You just did all
three things which help you
00:24:06.47\00:24:09.04
if this was a thing,
and some people had fear,
00:24:09.08\00:24:11.48
was fearful but those
three things in operation
00:24:11.51\00:24:14.28
and that's part, you just
said it's strengthened you,
00:24:14.32\00:24:16.72
it encouraged you,
00:24:16.75\00:24:18.09
you'd be ready
for the next time.
00:24:18.12\00:24:19.45
So faith, prayer and word.
00:24:19.49\00:24:22.92
So you had to put in operation
00:24:22.96\00:24:24.33
to get over this thing
called fear in this area.
00:24:24.36\00:24:26.63
Yes. You know, that's beautiful.
00:24:26.66\00:24:28.96
That's good,
Kenny, good application.
00:24:29.00\00:24:30.37
You put it there, wow.
00:24:30.40\00:24:31.73
Because I think we're afraid
00:24:31.77\00:24:34.04
and you brought this out
Sister Chris, I like this.
00:24:34.07\00:24:36.20
We're afraid not
just of playing the piano
00:24:36.24\00:24:39.67
or of messing up
in front of people.
00:24:39.71\00:24:41.54
Now this Psalm
says whom shall I fear,
00:24:41.58\00:24:44.01
I can be afraid of people.
00:24:44.05\00:24:45.61
What other people think of me?
00:24:45.65\00:24:48.88
Afraid of getting up in
front, afraid of messing up,
00:24:48.92\00:24:52.49
afraid of not appearing
good, but in the spiritual sense
00:24:52.52\00:24:56.73
I have faced this.
00:24:56.76\00:24:58.19
Afraid God can't forgive
me, afraid that I'm not safe,
00:24:58.23\00:25:03.33
afraid that I'm
not gonna go to heaven.
00:25:03.37\00:25:05.57
There is all kinds of things,
00:25:05.60\00:25:07.14
you know, in the
spiritual sense too.
00:25:07.17\00:25:08.50
I love that.
00:25:08.54\00:25:09.87
And the enemy wants
us to feel that way.
00:25:09.90\00:25:12.51
The enemy is the
father of depression.
00:25:12.54\00:25:14.58
He brings about that depression,
00:25:14.61\00:25:16.21
he brings about
that discouragement.
00:25:16.24\00:25:18.48
Let me read this paragraph,
00:25:18.51\00:25:19.85
this is also the Faith I
Live By, in fact everything,
00:25:19.88\00:25:21.98
almost everything
I'm gonna read here
00:25:22.02\00:25:23.65
if it's from Spirit of Prophecy,
00:25:23.69\00:25:25.55
it's from the Faith I Live By.
00:25:25.59\00:25:26.96
It says it is not God's
will, it is not God's what?
00:25:26.99\00:25:30.69
His will that you
should be distressful
00:25:30.73\00:25:34.76
or torture your soul.
00:25:34.80\00:25:36.93
See that's what
we're talking about
00:25:36.97\00:25:38.30
because we felt tortured,
00:25:38.33\00:25:40.27
and we were bringing a
lot of it on ourselves.
00:25:40.30\00:25:44.14
We torture our soul
00:25:44.17\00:25:45.64
with the fear that
God will not accept you
00:25:45.67\00:25:48.24
because you are
sinful and unworthy.
00:25:48.28\00:25:50.51
You can say, I
know that I'm a sinner
00:25:50.55\00:25:53.48
and that this is the
reason I need a savior.
00:25:53.52\00:25:57.65
That's the reason Christ came,
00:25:57.69\00:25:59.85
that's the reason all
of heaven was opened up...
00:25:59.89\00:26:02.42
We need a savior.
00:26:02.46\00:26:04.16
So we need to come to the
point where we recognize it
00:26:04.19\00:26:06.70
but God does not want us.
00:26:06.73\00:26:08.10
It's not his will that
we continue to distress,
00:26:08.13\00:26:10.73
we torture our soul,
he wants us to have faith,
00:26:10.77\00:26:13.40
he wants to believe to
pray, faith, prayer and word.
00:26:13.44\00:26:18.07
So what you are saying
is that a lot of our fear
00:26:18.11\00:26:20.48
is even self inflicted.
00:26:20.51\00:26:21.84
Oh, absolutely.
00:26:21.88\00:26:23.21
And therefore whenever you
ask me again, when I read this,
00:26:23.24\00:26:25.75
it says, the Lord is
my light and my salvation.
00:26:25.78\00:26:30.72
Worrying about if you are saved,
00:26:30.75\00:26:32.32
if the Lord is your
salvation then he's got it.
00:26:32.35\00:26:36.69
He's got it under control,
00:26:36.73\00:26:38.06
and so if we get
our eyes of our self
00:26:38.09\00:26:41.50
and inflicting that fear
upon ourselves, well, Lord,
00:26:41.53\00:26:44.27
then I'm not saved but
the Lord is my salvation.
00:26:44.30\00:26:48.50
Sealed, signed,
that's it, it's done.
00:26:48.54\00:26:51.21
And so we have
no reason to fear.
00:26:51.24\00:26:55.24
That's right.
00:26:55.28\00:26:56.61
We believe that Satan,
00:26:56.64\00:26:59.01
we know inflicts that
fear upon us and he does,
00:26:59.05\00:27:02.85
but if we can
just stand up and say,
00:27:02.88\00:27:05.72
my Lord is my salvation.
00:27:05.75\00:27:07.82
What you are reading it says,
you know the Lord is my light,
00:27:07.86\00:27:09.76
it doesn't say the
Lord is my darkness
00:27:09.79\00:27:11.66
and discouragement
and the word is my light,
00:27:11.69\00:27:14.36
more it's bright and then
salvation that's our saving,
00:27:14.40\00:27:17.20
you know strength,
be afraid of nobody.
00:27:17.23\00:27:19.37
But you know the
basis in bottom line
00:27:19.40\00:27:22.64
what I found out in my own life
00:27:22.67\00:27:25.47
that self number one has
to die when it comes to us
00:27:25.51\00:27:29.61
because, Ken, when you
get up to speak or whatever,
00:27:29.64\00:27:33.58
get Bible studies or instance.
00:27:33.62\00:27:35.08
Where you go to.
00:27:35.12\00:27:36.45
I refused at the
younger age to give Bible study,
00:27:36.48\00:27:38.55
I felt I'm not doing
00:27:38.59\00:27:39.92
because I was afraid
that somebody would ask me
00:27:39.95\00:27:42.16
a question pride
that I couldn't answer.
00:27:42.19\00:27:45.29
And finally Lord say, Kenny,
00:27:45.33\00:27:46.66
there are so many
things you can answer,
00:27:46.70\00:27:48.06
in fact you can only
probably answer anything.
00:27:48.10\00:27:49.43
Right. But you know what?
00:27:49.46\00:27:50.80
Here's a good way,
00:27:50.83\00:27:52.17
here is what to
do, I don't be honest.
00:27:52.20\00:27:54.90
Face it or somebody is
gonna ask you a question,
00:27:54.94\00:27:56.44
you know what, I
don't have the answer
00:27:56.47\00:27:57.81
but I know where to find it,
00:27:57.84\00:27:59.17
and then you go
00:27:59.21\00:28:00.54
and you go through the
word of God and then you find.
00:28:00.58\00:28:02.14
There is nothing
wrong with saying,
00:28:02.18\00:28:03.68
I don't know
right now the answer
00:28:03.71\00:28:05.91
but I know exactly
where I can find it.
00:28:05.95\00:28:07.48
Give me a little
time, I'll find it,
00:28:07.52\00:28:08.85
I'll bring it back to you.
00:28:08.88\00:28:10.22
So when the self begin to
die and pride begin to die,
00:28:10.25\00:28:13.56
it became
easier, so the fear left.
00:28:13.59\00:28:17.53
Of course it was no
longer I but Christ,
00:28:17.56\00:28:20.16
and I thought
how wonderful that is
00:28:20.20\00:28:21.53
so part of this
fear has to do with self,
00:28:21.56\00:28:24.70
self having to die.
00:28:24.73\00:28:27.34
Self is always involved,
00:28:27.37\00:28:29.00
I often say self is worst enemy.
00:28:29.04\00:28:31.81
Mine too. My biggest enemy.
00:28:31.84\00:28:33.24
I don't think
anybody else but...
00:28:33.27\00:28:35.38
And we don't
want to think that way
00:28:35.41\00:28:36.75
but really it is this
idea just because I wanted to,
00:28:36.78\00:28:40.85
I want out me,
me, my, I, so, yeah.
00:28:40.88\00:28:43.99
That's good. Go ahead.
00:28:44.02\00:28:45.45
Let's say we have
a number of text here
00:28:45.49\00:28:47.16
so I know you
want to address it.
00:28:47.19\00:28:49.56
So many fun verse to
look at in the Bible.
00:28:49.59\00:28:51.99
Psalms 118.
00:28:52.03\00:28:53.36
118, I love what you
said is return to Psalm 118,
00:28:53.40\00:28:56.46
Pastor Kenny, I love that
00:28:56.50\00:28:57.83
because it is about
in my own experience
00:28:57.87\00:29:00.04
I have found that to be true.
00:29:00.07\00:29:01.80
It's about myself so
when I'm afraid, I'm thinking,
00:29:01.84\00:29:04.91
I'm going to look bad
or I don't want to get sick
00:29:04.94\00:29:08.84
or someone I love,
00:29:08.88\00:29:10.45
I don't want
something to happen to them.
00:29:10.48\00:29:11.98
All of that stuff
comes back to myself,
00:29:12.01\00:29:14.88
instead of looking to Jesus,
00:29:14.92\00:29:17.02
trusting that he
is my heavenly father,
00:29:17.05\00:29:20.49
and that he will
only bring what is good
00:29:20.52\00:29:23.86
and even if
it's a bad situation,
00:29:23.89\00:29:26.53
Romans 8:28, he can
turn it around for good.
00:29:26.56\00:29:31.47
I want to just bring this
up actually at this point,
00:29:31.50\00:29:33.60
and I don't want to
head off in some diversion,
00:29:33.64\00:29:35.64
but I'm
thinking about, you know,
00:29:35.67\00:29:37.01
the text you just read in,
it said whom shall I be afraid.
00:29:37.04\00:29:40.68
There also and I mean this
part it's logical but you know,
00:29:40.71\00:29:43.81
if I get a knock in the
middle of the night on my door,
00:29:43.85\00:29:46.01
someone banging and pounding
like to break in my house
00:29:46.05\00:29:48.18
or something, you know, I
have a healthy fear for that,
00:29:48.22\00:29:50.49
I'm not gonna say I have nobody
00:29:50.52\00:29:51.85
to be afraid of
just open the door
00:29:51.89\00:29:53.22
and let somebody
to come into my house.
00:29:53.25\00:29:54.59
So there is the logical,
yes, part of that too...
00:29:54.62\00:29:56.66
So thank you for
sharing that, sweet heart.
00:29:56.69\00:29:58.69
We need balance here.
00:29:58.73\00:30:00.06
You feel much safer
now. Yeah, that's right.
00:30:00.10\00:30:01.43
I won't just open
the door in the middle.
00:30:01.46\00:30:03.37
That's
discernment. A discernment.
00:30:03.40\00:30:05.87
Thank you, that's a
good word, discernment.
00:30:05.90\00:30:07.80
But it is startling, you
know, and it can become...
00:30:07.84\00:30:12.61
And it can be, but you know
the thing is what will happen
00:30:12.64\00:30:15.64
if something
like that did happen,
00:30:15.68\00:30:17.41
first thing you would do,
you would protect your wife...
00:30:17.45\00:30:21.32
And we should reach out to Lord
in prayer too and say God...
00:30:21.35\00:30:23.35
Always.
00:30:23.39\00:30:24.72
We like, one time we
went in the house we are in,
00:30:24.75\00:30:26.92
you know, sound asleep
and we hear some talking.
00:30:26.96\00:30:31.19
Somehow in the very basement,
the TV came on its own,
00:30:31.23\00:30:35.40
you know and it was
talking it loud and I thought,
00:30:35.43\00:30:37.53
surely they're
beating by breaking
00:30:37.57\00:30:39.17
they're not gonna be talking,
00:30:39.20\00:30:40.54
so I went out the
bedroom door and it don't mean
00:30:40.57\00:30:43.04
'cause your good, it just goes
through your mind really quick
00:30:43.07\00:30:45.54
and I'm not, I just simply said,
00:30:45.57\00:30:47.31
I said honey lock
the door when I go out
00:30:47.34\00:30:50.48
and don't let anyone in.
00:30:50.51\00:30:52.41
You stay on the
side, you have protection.
00:30:52.45\00:30:54.22
You lock the door
and I'm going outside
00:30:54.25\00:30:57.09
and don't open
unless I come back.
00:30:57.12\00:30:59.85
There but was a fear
00:30:59.89\00:31:02.12
but the fear
overrode to say protect her,
00:31:02.16\00:31:04.76
then you go down and you
face what needs to be face
00:31:04.79\00:31:07.30
so you know and
God always helped us.
00:31:07.33\00:31:09.03
Lord help us to and we find
a TV going on, who turned it.
00:31:09.06\00:31:15.04
Okay, so Psalms 118 text.
00:31:15.07\00:31:17.37
Now that you all brought
some balance to what I said
00:31:17.41\00:31:19.77
Psalm 118:6, you want
to read that, Pastor Kenny,
00:31:19.81\00:31:23.75
You have that Psalm 118:6?
00:31:23.78\00:31:25.11
I have 118:6, "The Lord is
on my side, I will not fear.
00:31:25.15\00:31:31.15
What can man do unto me?
00:31:31.19\00:31:34.29
I mean that's beautiful,
the Lord's on my side,
00:31:34.32\00:31:37.23
that gives each one of
us courage to face everyday
00:31:37.26\00:31:41.13
when I get up to say,
when you do the right thing,
00:31:41.16\00:31:43.57
the best you know how to
do and those of you at home,
00:31:43.60\00:31:46.57
you're doing what
you know is right,
00:31:46.60\00:31:49.10
the best of your ability,
00:31:49.14\00:31:50.77
you know that God has
promised to be on your side,
00:31:50.81\00:31:53.27
he said I'll never leave
you, I'll never forsake you,
00:31:53.31\00:31:55.38
you don't fear
what man might do,
00:31:55.41\00:31:57.11
you don't fear what a
man, how he is going to look
00:31:57.15\00:31:59.01
and what he is gonna
say, what he is gonna do
00:31:59.05\00:32:00.88
because you are
on the right side.
00:32:00.92\00:32:02.92
You're on God side and
when you are on God side,
00:32:02.95\00:32:04.75
he takes responsibility
for taking care of you
00:32:04.79\00:32:08.82
'cause we're basically
look at are pretty helpless.
00:32:08.86\00:32:11.09
We need him, certainly
gets the enemy and his foe,
00:32:11.13\00:32:14.10
but it says here, I
say the Lord is on my side,
00:32:14.13\00:32:16.33
I will not fear,
what can man do to me.
00:32:16.36\00:32:19.43
What can he really do.
00:32:19.47\00:32:21.04
He might take your life
but you mentioned while ago so,
00:32:21.07\00:32:23.30
as long as you dedicate your
life to Jesus Christ, you know,
00:32:23.34\00:32:25.64
the hereafter be wonderful
to spend eternity with him.
00:32:25.67\00:32:27.54
That is a key
point because really
00:32:27.58\00:32:29.94
there had been many martyrs.
00:32:29.98\00:32:31.45
Come on now history,
00:32:31.48\00:32:33.01
that have laid down
their life for Jesus Christ.
00:32:33.05\00:32:34.85
The beautiful thing
with that is, you know,
00:32:34.88\00:32:38.02
nothing God is still
going to surround you
00:32:38.05\00:32:40.76
and he will protect you,
nothing will happen to you
00:32:40.79\00:32:44.49
or to any of us as long as
we're living up to the light
00:32:44.53\00:32:47.66
that he's given us.
00:32:47.70\00:32:49.03
And we're
obeying and we're in that
00:32:49.06\00:32:52.13
wonderful continual
relationship with him,
00:32:52.17\00:32:54.90
then he is there to protect us.
00:32:54.94\00:32:57.24
And nothing will
happen unless it's his will.
00:32:57.27\00:33:00.91
So there are times
where things do happen,
00:33:00.94\00:33:05.31
but he has allowed
it to happen, you know,
00:33:05.35\00:33:08.75
if you are martyred
then your book of life
00:33:08.78\00:33:12.15
is closed at that point,
00:33:12.19\00:33:13.76
you know, and
he knows it just...
00:33:13.79\00:33:15.12
Be my life be a testimony.
00:33:15.16\00:33:16.49
Exactly, but one
thing that come to my mind,
00:33:16.52\00:33:18.49
I was thinking back when you say
00:33:18.53\00:33:20.20
with the Lord on my side,
00:33:20.23\00:33:21.73
I will not fear,
what can man do to me.
00:33:21.76\00:33:23.63
I remember going,
00:33:23.67\00:33:25.13
I was at Southern
Missionary College
00:33:25.17\00:33:27.64
and that was about a
six, six and half hour drive
00:33:27.67\00:33:30.44
when I was around 18 years old,
00:33:30.47\00:33:32.44
and one Sunday my car broke down
00:33:32.47\00:33:35.54
and we couldn't get it fixed
00:33:35.58\00:33:37.18
and so I was
making this journey alone
00:33:37.21\00:33:40.32
and when you're,
you know, 18 years old,
00:33:40.35\00:33:41.92
that seems like a
long way by yourself,
00:33:41.95\00:33:44.35
but anyway it was getting
dark and my mom finally said
00:33:44.39\00:33:46.69
take my car, so I did.
00:33:46.72\00:33:49.59
And this was a very
dark night by the time
00:33:49.62\00:33:52.09
I hit Paducah,
Kentucky, It was very dark,
00:33:52.13\00:33:55.20
and at one time I
was out by myself no car,
00:33:55.23\00:33:57.93
so I hit the bright
lights and the lights went out.
00:33:57.97\00:34:02.40
They just quit
working and it was so,
00:34:02.44\00:34:04.94
you could not
see I just, you know,
00:34:04.97\00:34:07.44
you just knew where
the side of the road was,
00:34:07.48\00:34:10.01
there were no cell phones
back then but we had a CB.
00:34:10.05\00:34:13.78
And of course I
was at the point,
00:34:13.82\00:34:15.42
I was outside of Paducah,
00:34:15.45\00:34:17.39
so it was kind of coming
and going, coming and going.
00:34:17.42\00:34:20.29
I finally heard a
lady and she got on there,
00:34:20.32\00:34:23.63
she says you know,
we'll send you some help,
00:34:23.66\00:34:25.89
and so I was still
little bit fearful as it were
00:34:25.93\00:34:29.03
but I was praying,
00:34:29.06\00:34:30.40
I was praying and so I
just ducked down in the seat
00:34:30.43\00:34:34.60
and I was
waiting and pretty soon,
00:34:34.64\00:34:36.64
this truck pulled up in
front of me and backed up,
00:34:36.67\00:34:39.67
I thought nobody said how
am I gonna know who is here.
00:34:39.71\00:34:43.04
Are these the people that
came to help, I don't know.
00:34:43.08\00:34:45.91
and this man got out and
he was walking to the car
00:34:45.95\00:34:49.55
and I'm like Lord if this...
00:34:49.58\00:34:51.59
I have no idea, am I to
open my door to this man
00:34:51.62\00:34:55.52
out here in the dark
00:34:55.56\00:34:57.06
and all of a
sudden that man stopped.
00:34:57.09\00:35:00.86
He turned around he
ran and he sped away.
00:35:00.90\00:35:05.37
No one knows apparently.
00:35:05.40\00:35:06.74
A few minutes later,
00:35:06.77\00:35:08.20
the lady came by on the
other side of the interstate,
00:35:08.24\00:35:11.54
we see you, we're
coming up behind you,
00:35:11.57\00:35:14.48
it's myself and my husband,
we're here blah, blah, blah.
00:35:14.51\00:35:19.01
God has send an angel
or something that man seen
00:35:19.05\00:35:23.69
and it tuned him away
and we can tell you story
00:35:23.72\00:35:26.69
after story like this,
but that what I'm saying
00:35:26.72\00:35:29.92
where unless God
is finished with us...
00:35:29.96\00:35:33.60
Nothing to
fear. Nothing to fear.
00:35:33.63\00:35:35.70
And that causes faith to
arise and so for the person
00:35:35.73\00:35:38.67
who is afraid of doing
something that they feel
00:35:38.70\00:35:42.20
God is calling them to do.
00:35:42.24\00:35:43.64
You know, talking
about the martyrs,
00:35:43.67\00:35:45.01
to become a
missionary but God, you know,
00:35:45.04\00:35:47.91
I'm putting my life on the line,
00:35:47.94\00:35:49.28
you know, I could die for this.
00:35:49.31\00:35:50.95
Well, there is
that to be considered
00:35:50.98\00:35:53.95
but there is the peace
that God I believe will give us
00:35:53.98\00:35:57.65
when we go into something that
00:35:57.69\00:35:59.72
He is totally enforcing us to do
00:35:59.75\00:36:02.22
and encouraging us to do
00:36:02.26\00:36:03.96
that He will give
us the peace that says,
00:36:03.99\00:36:05.59
you know what, so be it.
00:36:05.63\00:36:06.96
If my life is
what is expected of me,
00:36:07.00\00:36:09.96
then I am at peace with
that and there will be no fear.
00:36:10.00\00:36:12.67
You know, there will be caution
and there will be concern,
00:36:12.70\00:36:15.84
maybe especially
from those around you.
00:36:15.87\00:36:17.84
But yeah, but it's
the situation is like
00:36:17.87\00:36:20.41
you're saying the
testimonies of knowing
00:36:20.44\00:36:22.34
where God has
provided that safety...
00:36:22.38\00:36:24.85
Does that fit where...
00:36:24.88\00:36:26.21
it says we're in His hand
and no man can take you out.
00:36:26.25\00:36:29.55
That fits, doesn't it in there?
00:36:29.58\00:36:31.22
When we're in His hand,
no one can take you out,
00:36:31.25\00:36:34.26
unless you decide
you want to get out.
00:36:34.29\00:36:36.32
And we don't fear of the future
00:36:36.36\00:36:38.83
unless we forget how
He's led us in the past.
00:36:38.86\00:36:41.66
So these things come to
mind and they help to encourage,
00:36:41.70\00:36:44.33
they bring faith, and of
course we continue to pray.
00:36:44.37\00:36:47.70
When you talked about
going to other countries,
00:36:47.74\00:36:49.57
we've been to other
countries many times
00:36:49.60\00:36:52.74
and it's interesting
because over the year
00:36:52.77\00:36:55.18
as I've learned about fear
00:36:55.21\00:36:57.71
and who the father of
fear is and trusting in God.
00:36:57.75\00:37:02.18
I mean, we found
ourselves in many situations
00:37:02.22\00:37:04.79
especially the
driving situation.
00:37:04.82\00:37:07.56
I mean, to the point that
only by God's grace did we not,
00:37:07.59\00:37:13.50
you know, have had on...yes.
00:37:13.53\00:37:15.70
One night, I can
remember the guy apparently
00:37:15.73\00:37:18.57
he may have been drug,
00:37:18.60\00:37:19.93
I don't know but he
was speeding through...
00:37:19.97\00:37:21.50
I think it was
Dominican Republic,
00:37:21.54\00:37:23.10
and the lady that was with us,
00:37:23.14\00:37:24.97
we were just
about to hit a truck
00:37:25.01\00:37:26.91
and she kind of screamed
and put her head into mine
00:37:26.94\00:37:30.18
and, you know,
but at the same time
00:37:30.21\00:37:32.31
believe it or
not, I didn't have fear
00:37:32.35\00:37:34.38
because I knew,
00:37:34.42\00:37:35.75
I thought God's
going to protect us.
00:37:35.78\00:37:37.85
He is gonna get us back
00:37:37.89\00:37:39.22
because He
wasn't finished with us.
00:37:39.25\00:37:41.12
He had a purpose for our
being there, you know, and...
00:37:41.16\00:37:44.59
It reminds me, I'm sorry.
00:37:44.63\00:37:46.03
It's kind of the same situation,
00:37:46.06\00:37:48.40
I don't want to talk too
much here but it just reminds me
00:37:48.43\00:37:51.87
even as a young child
00:37:51.90\00:37:53.64
'cause my father
was an alcoholic.
00:37:53.67\00:37:56.50
And there were times that
as a child I was very fearful
00:37:56.54\00:38:00.78
because he was all over the road
00:38:00.81\00:38:03.01
and I can
remember seeing the lights
00:38:03.04\00:38:05.31
just about to hit the
car and I would do this
00:38:05.35\00:38:08.45
and think that was it.
00:38:08.48\00:38:10.69
And I looked back now
00:38:10.72\00:38:12.29
and I think only
by the grace of God,
00:38:12.32\00:38:15.09
he stopped us, he
saved us many times.
00:38:15.12\00:38:17.83
So that's very
interesting what a testimony
00:38:17.86\00:38:21.26
to God's ability to turn
what we've grown up in the fear,
00:38:21.30\00:38:27.10
whatever dysfunction...
00:38:27.14\00:38:29.27
Yes, around.
00:38:29.30\00:38:30.64
And that is a real
work of God. Absolutely.
00:38:30.67\00:38:33.27
More than once he stopped,
00:38:33.31\00:38:34.64
he stopped us from
going over precipice...
00:38:34.68\00:38:37.71
I mean all kinds of
things and it's only by God...
00:38:37.75\00:38:41.18
only where the
angels were there.
00:38:41.22\00:38:43.49
You know, so it's a beautiful
thing to be in His hand,
00:38:43.52\00:38:46.89
in His keeping
what can man do to you.
00:38:46.92\00:38:49.32
Yeah, it's
encouraging, you know, to hear,
00:38:49.36\00:38:51.79
you know the
testimony, the assurance
00:38:51.83\00:38:54.96
because that's an
encouragement not only to you,
00:38:55.00\00:38:56.63
I can see that.
00:38:56.67\00:38:58.00
Boy, what an
encouragement to me too to know
00:38:58.03\00:39:00.04
how God h as preserved
and worked in peoples lives.
00:39:00.07\00:39:03.74
I was thinking
Tim, it's really...
00:39:03.77\00:39:05.21
You know talking
about missionaries,
00:39:05.24\00:39:06.57
you were talking
about missionaries,
00:39:06.61\00:39:08.68
and really it comes
down to surrender one's life
00:39:08.71\00:39:11.31
to Christ, doesn't it, you know,
00:39:11.35\00:39:12.71
'cause God's ask me to do this,
00:39:12.75\00:39:14.08
okay I'm taking my family,
00:39:14.12\00:39:15.45
I've had this
before friends going out,
00:39:15.48\00:39:16.82
and even I, I hate to
say I have a question,
00:39:16.85\00:39:18.65
boy are you sure?
00:39:18.69\00:39:20.06
You're kind of little baby,
00:39:20.09\00:39:21.42
you're going into a
third world country.
00:39:21.46\00:39:23.26
You know, are you sure
it's God talking to you.
00:39:23.29\00:39:25.53
I hate to say it but I have,
00:39:25.56\00:39:27.76
you know ask those questions
but they feel called of God
00:39:27.80\00:39:30.30
and boy it's just to surrender
'cause when you surrender,
00:39:30.33\00:39:32.63
there's a lot of peace.
00:39:32.67\00:39:34.00
Amen.
00:39:34.04\00:39:35.37
I think of the
story in the Bible
00:39:35.40\00:39:37.31
of Jesus in the storm,
00:39:37.34\00:39:39.44
the disciples were
fearful, the waves were high
00:39:39.47\00:39:42.71
and the boat was about to sink
00:39:42.74\00:39:44.91
and Christ was
sleeping in the boat.
00:39:44.95\00:39:48.55
Isn't that beautiful?
00:39:48.58\00:39:49.92
What a lesson for us,
you know that storms of life.
00:39:49.95\00:39:51.72
That is a lesson.
00:39:51.75\00:39:53.59
We've become
tornado ally in this area
00:39:53.62\00:39:56.86
but because of the peace
that passes all understanding
00:39:56.89\00:40:00.30
and prayer, we have slept,
00:40:00.33\00:40:02.73
I have slept
through many a storms,
00:40:02.76\00:40:04.53
the house is moving
and you just don't know,
00:40:04.57\00:40:07.64
but I've been able.
00:40:07.67\00:40:09.00
Now years ago, I
couldn't have done that.
00:40:09.04\00:40:10.94
But now I just feel
safe in the arms of God
00:40:10.97\00:40:13.74
and there has been many a storms
00:40:13.78\00:40:15.74
that I've slept right through.
00:40:15.78\00:40:17.15
That's a beautiful point, Chris,
00:40:17.18\00:40:18.61
because I think
that's how God grows us
00:40:18.65\00:40:21.02
as sons and
daughters of Jesus or the King.
00:40:21.05\00:40:23.95
You think of the fear
you lived in as a child
00:40:23.99\00:40:26.82
and what took place
there and then how God say,
00:40:26.86\00:40:28.96
I'm gonna grow
you and change you
00:40:28.99\00:40:30.89
and then now today,
00:40:30.93\00:40:32.26
oh, there is the
fear of the tornado
00:40:32.29\00:40:33.63
or the storms or other fear
00:40:33.66\00:40:35.00
and how, now you can sleep
through that where you didn't
00:40:35.03\00:40:37.50
and that's a
testimony, the power of God,
00:40:37.53\00:40:40.80
the power of the word of God,
00:40:40.84\00:40:43.30
choosing to take
our thoughts captive.
00:40:43.34\00:40:45.47
You know 2 Corinthians 10,
"Casting down imaginations,
00:40:45.51\00:40:48.58
and every high
thing that exalteth itself
00:40:48.61\00:40:50.55
against the knowledge of God,
00:40:50.58\00:40:51.91
and bringing into
captivity every thought
00:40:51.95\00:40:54.48
to the obedience of Christ."
00:40:54.52\00:40:56.42
And I think God says, Jill,
take those fearful thoughts,
00:40:56.45\00:40:59.25
take that anxiousness,
take those thoughts about self,
00:40:59.29\00:41:03.59
about my own pride,
00:41:03.63\00:41:05.19
above whatever and
take them captive to me
00:41:05.23\00:41:08.16
and I can change your life.
00:41:08.20\00:41:10.67
Amen. You were bursting.
00:41:10.70\00:41:12.03
I don't know, I believe,
00:41:12.07\00:41:13.40
I think the very way to
do that is to get in the word
00:41:13.44\00:41:17.21
so much that's what we think.
00:41:17.24\00:41:19.91
You know, I think
about the disciples,
00:41:19.94\00:41:22.18
had they had smart phones,
00:41:22.21\00:41:24.01
they would have been able
to go to their weather app
00:41:24.05\00:41:26.48
and see that the storm
would be coming through
00:41:26.51\00:41:28.72
at such time they
could watch Doppler radar
00:41:28.75\00:41:31.75
and seeing that the
storm was coming through,
00:41:31.79\00:41:34.09
let's yeah, let's wait,
00:41:34.12\00:41:35.46
let's put this off till tomorrow
00:41:35.49\00:41:36.83
at least in the day
light where we can see
00:41:36.86\00:41:39.09
but, and today we
do a lot of things,
00:41:39.13\00:41:42.60
we fear from the media,
00:41:42.63\00:41:45.33
fear from the
knowledge that we find,
00:41:45.37\00:41:47.57
you know the
things, the part of it
00:41:47.60\00:41:49.57
is helping us to
know to be prepared
00:41:49.60\00:41:52.74
but a lot more of it
00:41:52.77\00:41:54.28
is just fear based
information that we get.
00:41:54.31\00:41:58.98
Some people don't
know that they are fearful.
00:41:59.01\00:42:00.95
This is what I found
out, this is interesting.
00:42:00.98\00:42:03.49
I haven't thought of that.
00:42:03.52\00:42:04.85
They don't really
know that they are
00:42:04.89\00:42:06.42
but when we face an experience
like you're talking about,
00:42:06.45\00:42:09.79
you know, the storm, all
of a sudden their unbelief
00:42:09.82\00:42:14.83
and their fear was
exposed under test and trial,
00:42:14.86\00:42:19.27
it gets deep
00:42:19.30\00:42:20.64
because that's when we find out
00:42:20.67\00:42:22.40
who we really are is under test
or when somebody challenges us
00:42:22.44\00:42:27.71
or you know we
challenge our self with...
00:42:27.74\00:42:29.48
Yeah, the real
person that comes out,
00:42:29.51\00:42:32.21
there is the danger there
00:42:32.25\00:42:34.55
and so and I'm thankful
that God will reveal that
00:42:34.58\00:42:36.79
so that we can
understand, you know, that...
00:42:36.82\00:42:39.72
I failed that. I
failed that test a few times.
00:42:39.75\00:42:43.29
I like it, yeah because really
00:42:43.32\00:42:44.73
we need to take
these circumstances
00:42:44.76\00:42:46.19
'cause I've had some
moments where I'm afraid
00:42:46.23\00:42:48.43
so take them as a
learning experience.
00:42:48.46\00:42:50.87
God, I didn't
quite handle this right,
00:42:50.90\00:42:52.60
I should have
been in your word more,
00:42:52.63\00:42:54.24
should have
addressed it this way.
00:42:54.27\00:42:55.60
So I like that is a
learning experience.
00:42:55.64\00:42:57.41
I've got to share
this all with you.
00:42:57.44\00:42:59.07
This wasn't too many years ago
00:42:59.11\00:43:00.91
but finances were
really, really bad
00:43:00.94\00:43:03.81
with the
ministry and everything,
00:43:03.85\00:43:05.98
and I was literally
shaking, I thought, you know,
00:43:06.01\00:43:09.05
I was just literally
shaking and I wanted sympathy,
00:43:09.08\00:43:13.19
but what I got was
you don't have faith.
00:43:13.22\00:43:15.49
And that was a
hard thing to swallow
00:43:18.49\00:43:20.40
but it made me
think, it made me pray more,
00:43:20.43\00:43:23.50
it made me dig more,
and I've learned okay,
00:43:23.53\00:43:27.07
well, it looks like
it's gonna fall, you know,
00:43:27.10\00:43:29.40
we're all test and tried
but I've learned to have faith,
00:43:29.44\00:43:32.61
okay, Lord
whatever you decide, then...
00:43:32.64\00:43:35.34
I kind of like the
wording a little bit better is,
00:43:35.38\00:43:37.18
honey, we need more faith.
00:43:37.21\00:43:38.71
That's what I got.
00:43:38.75\00:43:41.78
I'm also wording a
little bit different.
00:43:41.82\00:43:43.15
Maybe what we need is more
00:43:43.18\00:43:44.59
this faith to
believe that God, you know.
00:43:44.62\00:43:46.55
I wish I had got that,
00:43:46.59\00:43:48.12
I was looking
for little sympathy
00:43:48.16\00:43:49.92
but it was just like
you don't have faith.
00:43:49.96\00:43:52.99
We're having a little discussion
00:43:53.03\00:43:54.36
here during family worship,
00:43:54.40\00:43:55.76
that's okay, it's
okay to have discussion.
00:43:55.80\00:43:58.37
People have went
through the same thing
00:43:58.40\00:43:59.80
there at home, that's
attending this service tonight
00:43:59.83\00:44:02.80
and they're, Bible study,
they are going through this,
00:44:02.84\00:44:05.27
they're going
through the finances,
00:44:05.31\00:44:06.81
they're going through
the difficult separation,
00:44:06.84\00:44:09.01
they're going
through all kind of problems,
00:44:09.04\00:44:11.68
and sometime we
say the wrong thing,
00:44:11.71\00:44:15.08
I meant to do the right thing,
00:44:15.12\00:44:18.45
but I think after
hearing it several times,
00:44:18.49\00:44:20.52
I was trying to...
00:44:20.56\00:44:22.19
I guess I
reminded him a few times.
00:44:22.22\00:44:23.69
Remind me to my drive.
00:44:23.73\00:44:25.16
Honey, I like your faith here.
00:44:25.19\00:44:26.80
We have faith to
believe right, so no,
00:44:26.83\00:44:29.90
but they are still
and people do need,
00:44:29.93\00:44:32.00
do we agree with this some...
00:44:32.03\00:44:33.57
We need sympathy,
00:44:33.60\00:44:34.94
there is times when we
need to but not to the point
00:44:34.97\00:44:37.34
to where we continue
to bask in our unbelief.
00:44:37.37\00:44:40.34
God is still
leading exercise faith,
00:44:40.38\00:44:42.38
he is gonna work it all out.
00:44:42.41\00:44:43.75
If he chooses not to
then give me faith to accept.
00:44:43.78\00:44:46.82
Amen, let's see if we
can get another scripture.
00:44:46.85\00:44:49.95
I like Isaiah 43:1-3.
00:44:49.98\00:44:56.79
There are just so
many promises in the Bible.
00:44:56.83\00:44:58.69
We encourage you
to take your Bible
00:44:58.73\00:45:00.76
on a daily basis
and study God's word.
00:45:00.80\00:45:03.57
Can't go wrong
00:45:03.60\00:45:04.93
because God promises his
word will not return void.
00:45:04.97\00:45:08.40
Isaiah 43:1-3, Chris...
00:45:08.44\00:45:12.87
Okay, "But now, thus saith
the Lord, that created the,
00:45:12.91\00:45:16.71
O Jacob, and He who
formed the O Israel:
00:45:16.75\00:45:20.82
'Fear not, for I
have redeemed the,
00:45:20.85\00:45:24.09
I have called the by
this name, thou art mine."
00:45:24.12\00:45:27.82
We're His...
That's specific, isn't it?
00:45:27.86\00:45:31.79
When Thou passes through
the waters, I will be with the,
00:45:31.83\00:45:35.26
And through the rivers,
thou shall not overflow the.
00:45:35.30\00:45:38.47
When thou walk through the fire,
00:45:38.50\00:45:40.47
thou shall not be burned,
00:45:40.50\00:45:41.90
Neither shall the
flame kindle upon the...
00:45:41.94\00:45:44.21
When I read this earlier,
00:45:44.24\00:45:45.67
I thought about the children
of Israel going through,
00:45:45.71\00:45:48.64
you know, the Red Sea,
00:45:48.68\00:45:50.21
going through
different large rivers.
00:45:50.25\00:45:53.52
The three Hebrews
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
00:45:53.55\00:45:57.02
thrown into the fiery furnace.
00:45:57.05\00:45:59.09
There is nothing,
00:45:59.12\00:46:00.46
there was not even a
stench of smoke on them,
00:46:00.49\00:46:03.02
you know,
because he is with them.
00:46:03.06\00:46:05.49
They were the
His, for I am the Lord,
00:46:05.53\00:46:10.93
thy God the Holy one
of Israel, thy savior,
00:46:10.97\00:46:14.27
I gave Egypt for a ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba for thee."
00:46:14.30\00:46:19.04
Amen.
00:46:19.07\00:46:20.41
I like the beginning part
especially because it says
00:46:20.44\00:46:21.78
fear not, I have redeemed
you, I have called you by name.
00:46:21.81\00:46:25.75
You are mine
because to meet him,
00:46:25.78\00:46:27.52
that's specific, you know that.
00:46:27.55\00:46:29.28
It says Tim, it's almost like
we want to obviously reverence
00:46:29.32\00:46:33.42
God as who is as king
00:46:33.46\00:46:34.79
but it's almost like
Tim how are you today.
00:46:34.82\00:46:36.52
You know, it's just
that type of relationship
00:46:36.56\00:46:38.63
that he wants to
have with each one of us.
00:46:38.66\00:46:41.16
Boy, isn't that something.
00:46:41.20\00:46:43.00
Because we're just
a speck, the earth.
00:46:43.03\00:46:45.70
We think it's huge as
a speck in the universe,
00:46:45.73\00:46:49.27
and I don't know
where we are on the earth
00:46:49.30\00:46:50.87
but we are even
smaller than that.
00:46:50.91\00:46:52.84
God sent His Son Jesus Christ
to die for each one of us.
00:46:52.87\00:46:55.78
That verse
encourages me so much,
00:46:55.81\00:46:59.35
yeah, just redeemed us.
00:46:59.38\00:47:00.72
Call us by name.
00:47:00.75\00:47:02.08
You know what
speaks to me in it, I like,
00:47:02.12\00:47:03.62
this is one of my
favorite scriptures,
00:47:03.65\00:47:05.22
I like this whole thing,
00:47:05.25\00:47:06.59
but if you look at Isaiah
42 before as we come into it,
00:47:06.62\00:47:09.69
God's people have been
accused of being deaf and blind,
00:47:09.72\00:47:13.29
breaking the covenant.
00:47:13.33\00:47:14.80
They were God's
covenant people, right.
00:47:14.83\00:47:17.20
This is the children of Israel,
00:47:17.23\00:47:18.63
and they were
being accused of breaking
00:47:18.67\00:47:20.54
the covenant stipulations.
00:47:20.57\00:47:22.27
And in spite of all
that, it starts with
00:47:22.30\00:47:25.94
but now, it's like he is saying,
00:47:25.97\00:47:28.71
in spite of your unfaithfulness,
00:47:28.74\00:47:30.55
in spite of the fact that
you turned your back on me.
00:47:30.58\00:47:33.65
Even now, I have redeemed you,
00:47:33.68\00:47:37.59
I have called you by
my name and I love you,
00:47:37.62\00:47:40.92
and I don't know
where you are tonight,
00:47:40.96\00:47:43.43
you might feel like I
have wandered far from God.
00:47:43.46\00:47:46.16
And he says even now
but now, I call you by name.
00:47:46.19\00:47:52.93
Amen. I love
you, I redeemed you.
00:47:52.97\00:47:56.54
You don't have to be afraid.
00:47:56.57\00:47:59.97
What a God we serve.
00:48:00.01\00:48:01.34
You know, it's so
beautiful when you said
00:48:01.38\00:48:02.71
because I was
reading here in Testimonies
00:48:02.74\00:48:05.41
to Ministers 519
that said something,
00:48:05.45\00:48:07.72
God gives to humanity
00:48:07.78\00:48:10.79
something that He
does not give to angels.
00:48:10.82\00:48:15.39
Think about that,
00:48:15.42\00:48:16.76
God gives humanity
in his fallen condition,
00:48:16.79\00:48:19.26
his sinful condition, something
that He doesn't give the angels
00:48:19.29\00:48:23.83
and that is just simply
grace because let me read it,
00:48:23.87\00:48:27.07
it said God loves
the sinless angels
00:48:27.10\00:48:29.50
who do his service, who are
obedient to all his commands
00:48:29.54\00:48:32.54
but He does not give them grace,
00:48:32.57\00:48:34.74
they have never needed
it, for they have never seen.
00:48:34.78\00:48:39.01
Grace is an attribute shown
to undeserving human beings.
00:48:39.05\00:48:44.55
Our need is a qualification,
which gives us the assurance
00:48:44.59\00:48:49.39
that we shall receive the gift,
since we have such a need to
00:48:49.42\00:48:53.56
what you've brought
out, we have such a need,
00:48:53.60\00:48:55.63
God knows we have a need
00:48:55.66\00:48:57.87
and he wants to
give us those, that gift.
00:48:57.90\00:48:59.83
I thought how interesting,
he gives us something that
00:48:59.87\00:49:01.50
he didn't give the
perfect unfallen angels,
00:49:01.54\00:49:04.34
he gives to fallen
man because we needed.
00:49:04.37\00:49:07.41
That's our only hope. Amen.
00:49:07.44\00:49:09.64
Oh, what a savior. Amen.
00:49:09.68\00:49:12.08
That's
beautiful, I mean to think,
00:49:12.11\00:49:14.32
and how often some we talked
about this in the beginning
00:49:14.35\00:49:16.99
because we felt
like we were unredeemable
00:49:17.02\00:49:20.76
and how Christ he...
00:49:20.79\00:49:22.19
what if we treated one another.
00:49:22.22\00:49:24.69
If he treated us the
way we treat one another.
00:49:24.73\00:49:28.46
You know, how often we've been
00:49:28.50\00:49:29.86
'cause you guys
mentioned it so gracefully,
00:49:29.90\00:49:32.57
we being little older.
00:49:32.60\00:49:37.21
Experience, but you
know, over the years,
00:49:37.24\00:49:42.21
I have found that even when
people have fallen from grace
00:49:42.24\00:49:46.38
or they made
mistakes in their ministry.
00:49:46.41\00:49:49.78
I think of one man that
ended up committing suicide
00:49:49.82\00:49:52.49
because rather than
his brothers and sisters
00:49:52.52\00:49:55.79
going to him and
saying I'm here for you,
00:49:55.82\00:49:58.19
let's see what we
can do to rectify this,
00:49:58.23\00:50:01.00
God still loves you.
00:50:01.03\00:50:02.70
He felt unloved,
00:50:02.73\00:50:04.63
he felt rejected of
his brothers and sisters,
00:50:04.67\00:50:07.80
he ended up committing suicide.
00:50:07.84\00:50:10.37
I knew this, I knew this man,
00:50:10.41\00:50:12.47
and I knew what
happened in his life,
00:50:12.51\00:50:14.08
and the Holy Spirit kept saying,
00:50:14.11\00:50:15.51
you need to call
him and encourage him,
00:50:15.54\00:50:18.11
but the people that
different ones I talk to,
00:50:18.15\00:50:19.68
oh, he made a mistake man,
you got to stay away from him.
00:50:19.71\00:50:22.25
Holy Spirit said,
you need to call him.
00:50:22.28\00:50:23.92
Well, I'm gonna do
that, 'cause I knew him,
00:50:23.95\00:50:26.19
I did meetings and different
things so on and so forth.
00:50:26.22\00:50:28.42
I put it off, until I found
out that he killed himself.
00:50:28.46\00:50:32.19
Then I'm never really
gotten over that aspect
00:50:32.23\00:50:34.30
because a word in due season.
00:50:34.33\00:50:37.50
The Holy Spirit may
have changed everything
00:50:37.53\00:50:39.73
for this person
and I put it off,
00:50:39.77\00:50:41.90
not that I didn't care,
00:50:41.94\00:50:43.27
I put it off so it shows
maybe I didn't care enough,
00:50:43.30\00:50:45.54
I should have done it,
00:50:45.57\00:50:47.21
but what happens many
times when a person falls,
00:50:47.24\00:50:50.95
when they are weak
or they're fearful,
00:50:50.98\00:50:52.51
they do this,
that's when they need help.
00:50:52.55\00:50:54.85
They do not need to be shun
by me or you or anybody else.
00:50:54.88\00:50:57.82
That's when they need...
00:50:57.85\00:50:59.19
that doesn't
mean you can donate,
00:50:59.22\00:51:00.62
oh, here's our brother...
00:51:00.66\00:51:02.12
you're there to help them,
brother sister, we know you,
00:51:02.16\00:51:05.19
you made a
choice that we love you,
00:51:05.23\00:51:07.20
what can we do for you,
00:51:07.23\00:51:08.56
is there anything
we are here for you,
00:51:08.60\00:51:09.96
rather than or if I do this,
it's gonna hurt the ministry,
00:51:10.00\00:51:12.73
it's gonna hurt my own personal,
00:51:12.77\00:51:14.27
I've heard that all my
life and I'm gonna use the word,
00:51:14.30\00:51:16.87
I'm gonna say sick of it.
00:51:16.91\00:51:18.84
It makes me sick of my stomach
00:51:18.87\00:51:20.41
when I hear that
Jesus would never say that,
00:51:20.44\00:51:23.14
he said I came to seek
and save that which was lost,
00:51:23.18\00:51:26.28
and he said he came
to cast out that fear.
00:51:26.31\00:51:28.12
Perfect love cast out all fear.
00:51:28.15\00:51:30.25
And that's what he wants to do
00:51:30.29\00:51:31.69
is to bring us back
in that relationship.
00:51:31.72\00:51:33.72
Amen. Amen.
00:51:33.76\00:51:35.09
Now just a few minute left,
we want to actually have prayer
00:51:35.12\00:51:37.23
because you know
prayers big part of the worship.
00:51:37.26\00:51:40.40
Why don't you just enter for us
in the scriptures Psalms 34:4,
00:51:40.43\00:51:44.60
Psalms 34:4 says and
I sought the Lord..."
00:51:44.63\00:51:49.80
What did he do?
00:51:49.84\00:51:51.17
"And He heard me, and
delivered me from" what?
00:51:51.21\00:51:54.18
"All of my fears."
00:51:54.21\00:51:58.58
Praise the Lord, right.
00:51:58.61\00:52:00.12
So we sought the Lord.
00:52:00.15\00:52:01.48
So we want to
encourage you tonight
00:52:01.52\00:52:03.32
if you are struggling with fear.
00:52:03.35\00:52:05.35
Go to the word of God,
go to the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:52:05.39\00:52:08.49
choose to take
those thoughts captive,
00:52:08.52\00:52:10.93
and watch your faith grow.
00:52:10.96\00:52:12.79
And if you know someone
else who's struggling with fear,
00:52:12.83\00:52:16.50
don't go to them and
say what's your problem,
00:52:16.53\00:52:18.90
why are you in the
word of God or not.
00:52:18.93\00:52:20.47
Encourage them in the Lord,
encourage them to spend time
00:52:20.50\00:52:25.21
with the word of
God, and pray for them
00:52:25.24\00:52:27.88
and that will make
all the difference,
00:52:27.91\00:52:30.15
an eternal difference in
their life and in their heart.
00:52:30.18\00:52:32.51
Standing by each
other with a word of God.
00:52:32.55\00:52:34.68
Let's go the Lord in prayer,
00:52:34.72\00:52:36.05
and Brother Kenny
you want to start.
00:52:36.08\00:52:37.49
Yes.
00:52:37.52\00:52:39.15
Those of you are at
home pray with us please.
00:52:39.19\00:52:41.62
Merciful father in heaven again,
00:52:41.66\00:52:42.99
we thank you for loving us.
00:52:43.02\00:52:44.36
We thank you for the subject.
00:52:44.39\00:52:46.33
We thank you though
there is so much more
00:52:46.36\00:52:48.46
that could be covered,
but we know your Holy Spirit
00:52:48.50\00:52:50.47
has been speaking to
the hearts of your children.
00:52:50.50\00:52:52.60
Lord, if
something that we missed
00:52:52.63\00:52:54.00
or we didn't say right,
00:52:54.04\00:52:55.37
we pray the Holy
Spirit is taken that.
00:52:55.40\00:52:57.51
It's hit the ears of those
and the minds of those who are,
00:52:57.54\00:53:00.64
millions are suffering
from this thing called fear.
00:53:00.68\00:53:04.28
The Bible addresses it
in so many different ways,
00:53:04.31\00:53:07.02
the fearful, you know...
00:53:07.05\00:53:09.08
As we look at this
word we know that it's real
00:53:09.12\00:53:11.29
and only you
can give us victory.
00:53:11.32\00:53:13.42
Bless now we pray each one
00:53:13.46\00:53:14.96
who is chosen by
the grace of God,
00:53:14.99\00:53:16.99
we're gonna pray,
we're gonna have faith
00:53:17.03\00:53:18.53
and we're gonna work our way
00:53:18.56\00:53:19.89
right through it
by the grace of God,
00:53:19.93\00:53:21.56
that victory is
assured to each and every one.
00:53:21.60\00:53:23.73
Keep our eyes upon Jesus.
00:53:23.77\00:53:25.10
We thank you for
hearing and answering prayer
00:53:25.13\00:53:26.57
in Jesus' name.
00:53:26.60\00:53:27.94
Amen. Amen.
00:53:27.97\00:53:29.37
Heavenly father as
we continue this prayer,
00:53:29.40\00:53:32.47
we just thank you
for your redemptive love
00:53:32.51\00:53:35.34
that you loved us so
much that you came down
00:53:35.38\00:53:39.28
and you're lifting us up,
00:53:39.31\00:53:41.25
it's only through
you that we can be saved.
00:53:41.28\00:53:44.62
And Father as our family at home
00:53:44.65\00:53:47.36
is listening
and praying with us.
00:53:47.39\00:53:49.89
I know that there had
been thoughts that have come up
00:53:49.92\00:53:51.93
in their minds about
fears that they have,
00:53:51.96\00:53:55.60
fears they've experienced,
fears they are holding on to.
00:53:55.63\00:53:59.43
And father you don't
want us to hold on to these,
00:53:59.47\00:54:02.67
you want us to caste them out.
00:54:02.70\00:54:05.14
So Father, I pray
in the name of Jesus
00:54:05.17\00:54:08.28
that you give them
the strength right now
00:54:08.31\00:54:10.75
to lay those fears at
the cross, the Calvary.
00:54:10.78\00:54:16.32
You said to take your yoke,
00:54:16.35\00:54:19.92
'cause your burden
is easy and is light
00:54:19.95\00:54:23.86
and if we just
let yoke up with you,
00:54:23.89\00:54:25.79
you'll carry us
through no matter
00:54:25.83\00:54:28.06
what this world
brings in our path.
00:54:28.10\00:54:31.43
We realize there is a
time of trouble coming,
00:54:31.47\00:54:34.90
but we have faith to
know that you will see us
00:54:34.94\00:54:38.21
through anything and everything.
00:54:38.24\00:54:40.84
Thank you Father for
these promises in Jesus' name.
00:54:40.88\00:54:44.98
Amen.
00:54:45.01\00:54:46.35
Precious Lord, I
want to address those
00:54:46.38\00:54:48.75
who are going through anxieties
and fears of the unknown
00:54:48.78\00:54:53.46
in their lives, whether
it's in a form of a disease,
00:54:53.49\00:54:56.59
and they don't know
what's going to happen
00:54:56.62\00:54:58.13
in their near future.
00:54:58.16\00:54:59.49
They know what the science says,
00:54:59.53\00:55:01.93
they know what
history has proven, but Father
00:55:01.96\00:55:05.97
I pray I want two
promises that are in your word.
00:55:06.00\00:55:08.87
I'm praying that you will help
us to cast all of our anxiety
00:55:08.90\00:55:13.14
there on you
because you care for us.
00:55:13.17\00:55:16.08
Amen.
00:55:16.11\00:55:17.45
And Father, I pray that you
will help us also to remember
00:55:17.48\00:55:19.48
not to be anxious about anything
00:55:19.51\00:55:21.22
but in every
situation my prayer and petition
00:55:21.25\00:55:24.95
with thanks giving,
00:55:24.99\00:55:26.32
we are to present
our request to you
00:55:26.35\00:55:28.22
because you
care and love for us.
00:55:28.26\00:55:31.06
So we thank you for our hope
and a future in Jesus' name.
00:55:31.09\00:55:34.93
Thank you, Lord. Amen.
00:55:34.96\00:55:36.97
Father, I just come in agreement
00:55:37.00\00:55:38.70
with my brothers and sisters.
00:55:38.73\00:55:40.74
Thank you Lord
Jesus for the work
00:55:40.77\00:55:42.50
you want to do in our lives.
00:55:42.54\00:55:43.97
Thank you for redeeming us.
00:55:44.01\00:55:45.84
Thank you for the transforming
grace of the Holy Spirit,
00:55:45.87\00:55:50.28
that's poured into our lives
00:55:50.31\00:55:52.11
and that you can
change us from fear to faith,
00:55:52.15\00:55:55.15
from failure to victory.
00:55:55.18\00:55:57.72
Oh, Father, we claim
that just now in Jesus name,
00:55:57.75\00:56:01.72
over our lives, over the lives
of the people in this ministry,
00:56:01.76\00:56:05.36
in the lives of our brothers
and sisters who are watching,
00:56:05.39\00:56:09.53
and we thank you for
what you are going to do,
00:56:09.56\00:56:12.60
that you want to hear an
answer the prayer of faith
00:56:12.63\00:56:14.94
in Jesus' name.
00:56:14.97\00:56:16.64
Amen.
00:56:16.67\00:56:18.01
Father in heaven, what
a blessing and a privilege
00:56:18.04\00:56:19.44
it is to gather
here and to worship you,
00:56:19.47\00:56:22.61
to open up the Sabbath.
00:56:22.64\00:56:24.11
I thank you for my
brothers and sisters here Lord
00:56:24.15\00:56:25.98

together around the table
00:56:26.01\00:56:28.18
and for those at home.
00:56:28.22\00:56:29.55
Father, on the topic of fear,
00:56:29.58\00:56:30.92
we know that perfect
love cast out all fear,
00:56:30.95\00:56:33.36
and you don't want us to
be afraid of our circumstances
00:56:33.39\00:56:35.89
and storms and things
that are going on around us.
00:56:35.92\00:56:38.43
Father, you provided the
way out, the way through,
00:56:38.46\00:56:41.60
and we want to surrender
and commit our lives to you
00:56:41.63\00:56:45.13
and in Jesus' name and pray.
00:56:45.17\00:56:47.07
Amen.
00:56:47.10\00:56:50.71
