Hello and welcome
to 3ABN Worship Hour.
00:00:26.15\00:00:28.86
Glad you joined us today,
00:00:28.89\00:00:30.23
praise God we're
gonna have a good study.
00:00:30.26\00:00:31.76
We're going to be talking
about America shutting down.
00:00:31.79\00:00:35.16
We're talking about a
world of fear and uncertainty,
00:00:35.20\00:00:38.67
and we certainly live
in that world right now
00:00:38.70\00:00:40.67
and God gives us some
good hope from Scripture,
00:00:40.70\00:00:43.04
and we're gonna be looking at
that closely in just a moment.
00:00:43.07\00:00:45.27
Before we do, Brother Tim Parton
00:00:45.31\00:00:46.88
is gonna be on the piano,
he's gonna play some music
00:00:46.91\00:00:49.24
and maybe sing and have prayer.
00:00:49.28\00:00:50.95
We're just gonna turn
it over to him right now,
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.45
and I'm sure you're
going to be blessed.
00:00:52.48\00:00:54.88
Thank You, Kenny.
00:00:54.92\00:00:56.69
We certainly serve a
God who is a God of hope,
00:00:56.72\00:01:00.62
and I am grateful
that He can be depended on,
00:01:00.66\00:01:03.86
He can be trusted no matter
what you're going through.
00:01:03.89\00:01:08.96
The Psalmist knew full well
00:01:09.00\00:01:12.67
as he wrote Psalm 103,
00:01:12.70\00:01:16.64
sometime we need to give
our self a little pep talk.
00:01:16.67\00:01:21.14
We need to talk
directly to our soul.
00:01:21.18\00:01:25.61
And out of that
thought came this psalm.
00:01:25.65\00:01:30.69
Praise the Lord, O my soul
00:01:37.59\00:01:40.93
And forget not all his benefits
00:01:40.96\00:01:46.10
Praise the Lord, O my soul
00:01:46.13\00:01:49.54
And forget not all his benefits
00:01:49.57\00:01:54.21
Who forgives
00:01:54.24\00:01:57.18
All your sins
00:01:57.21\00:02:02.48
Who heals all your diseases
00:02:02.52\00:02:07.09
Praise the Lord, O my soul
00:02:12.43\00:02:16.06
And forget not all his benefits
00:02:16.10\00:02:21.10
Praise the Lord, O my soul
00:02:21.14\00:02:24.67
And forget not all his benefits
00:02:24.71\00:02:29.51
Who forgives all your sins
00:02:29.54\00:02:35.55
Thank you, Lord
00:02:35.58\00:02:37.82
And heals all your diseases
00:02:37.85\00:02:42.29
Who redeems your life
00:02:45.76\00:02:50.23
From the pit
00:02:50.27\00:02:54.40
And crowns you
00:02:54.44\00:02:56.71
With love and compassion
00:02:56.74\00:03:02.41
Who satisfies your desires
00:03:02.44\00:03:07.08
With good things
00:03:07.12\00:03:10.69
So that your strength
00:03:10.72\00:03:13.69
Is renewed like the eagle's
00:03:13.72\00:03:18.69
Father God, thank You, Lord,
00:03:25.50\00:03:29.34
that we can run to You.
00:03:29.37\00:03:33.41
We can find strength
and hope and peace in You.
00:03:33.44\00:03:39.78
Father, You have forgiven us,
00:03:39.81\00:03:44.72
when we have called
out to You for forgiveness.
00:03:44.75\00:03:48.36
You have supplied our need,
00:03:48.39\00:03:49.72
You have met every need we need.
00:03:49.76\00:03:54.70
So we thank You,
Father, for that.
00:03:54.73\00:03:57.63
Lord, You are faithful,
00:03:57.67\00:04:01.44
so today I just ask
for those who are watching
00:04:01.47\00:04:05.64
who have needs...
00:04:05.67\00:04:07.04
physical needs.
00:04:12.78\00:04:14.38
Lord, they need
a touch from You,
00:04:14.42\00:04:18.82
they need a
spiritual touch from You,
00:04:18.85\00:04:21.36
they need encouraging,
00:04:21.39\00:04:24.29
they need to know
that You are near.
00:04:24.33\00:04:26.39
Oh, God, I pray in
Jesus name draw near.
00:04:26.43\00:04:31.23
Your Word tells us if
we will draw near to You,
00:04:31.27\00:04:34.07
You'll draw near to
us, so I just ask that
00:04:34.10\00:04:36.94
You'll give us
wisdom to draw close to You.
00:04:36.97\00:04:42.64
Lord, we cannot make it alone,
00:04:42.68\00:04:47.98
and You say that
we don't have to.
00:04:48.02\00:04:49.68
Bless the Lord, O my soul
00:04:55.19\00:04:59.79
And forget not all his benefits
00:04:59.83\00:05:05.07
Bless the Lord
00:05:05.10\00:05:09.30
Father, for those
who are going through
00:05:09.34\00:05:12.01
emotional
situations that they just need
00:05:12.04\00:05:16.64
a touch from You, God.
00:05:16.68\00:05:21.92
Those who are going
through financial needs,
00:05:21.95\00:05:25.45
Lord God, provide
for them in ways that
00:05:25.49\00:05:30.99
they know that all
they had to be Your hand
00:05:31.03\00:05:36.53
that provided.
00:05:36.56\00:05:40.07
Lord, You redeem
us from all our sin
00:05:40.27\00:05:45.54
and You crown us
00:05:45.57\00:05:50.08
with joy and peace,
00:05:50.11\00:05:54.55
You satisfy our
desires with good things.
00:05:54.58\00:05:59.12
So we claim these benefits
00:06:04.79\00:06:06.29
as Your
children, as Your people.
00:06:06.33\00:06:08.30
And I pray, Lord,
that You will help us
00:06:11.33\00:06:13.07
to be
encouragement to our neighbor.
00:06:13.10\00:06:17.04
Father, may we not be
consumed with our own need,
00:06:17.07\00:06:20.71
but out of our own
need may we learn to give
00:06:20.74\00:06:24.61
and share what
we have with others,
00:06:24.65\00:06:30.35
for we always have
the good news of Christ
00:06:30.39\00:06:33.02
that we can share.
00:06:33.05\00:06:34.76
We're never
without something to share.
00:06:34.79\00:06:36.39
So I just pray a
special blessing over those
00:06:41.03\00:06:44.07
who are viewing,
those who are listening.
00:06:44.10\00:06:50.04
In Jesus name be
encouraged today.
00:06:50.07\00:06:55.18
Praise the Lord, O my soul
00:06:58.15\00:07:01.78
And forget not all his benefits
00:07:01.82\00:07:06.45
Thank you so very
much, Brother Tim,
00:07:15.83\00:07:17.73
appreciate that so
much prayer and praise song.
00:07:17.77\00:07:21.44
This is what it's all about
00:07:21.47\00:07:22.80
in this hour
that we're living in.
00:07:22.84\00:07:24.17
Again, we're glad that
you've joined us here today
00:07:24.21\00:07:26.84
as we spend a little bit of time
00:07:26.88\00:07:28.21
talking about
America shutting down.
00:07:28.24\00:07:30.45
Is that a possibility
that America is shutting down?
00:07:30.48\00:07:33.18
Can it be shut down?
00:07:33.21\00:07:34.85
What kind of world
are we living in today?
00:07:34.88\00:07:37.42
We live in a world
of fear and uncertainty.
00:07:37.45\00:07:40.59
You know, I just want to go back
00:07:40.62\00:07:41.96
and we'll go over several things
00:07:41.99\00:07:43.32
that's been going
on in the news lately,
00:07:43.36\00:07:44.99
but we also go
to the Word of God
00:07:45.03\00:07:46.46
where we gather
hope and encouragement
00:07:46.49\00:07:48.46
during this crisis
of earth's history.
00:07:48.50\00:07:51.27
You know many of us,
00:07:51.30\00:07:52.63
many of us are dealing with fear
00:07:52.67\00:07:55.00
and sadness as this Coronavirus,
00:07:55.04\00:07:57.64
this COVID-19 continue to bring
00:07:57.67\00:08:01.44
havoc on this
country and the world.
00:08:01.48\00:08:04.91
It's causing problems socially
and economically, spiritually,
00:08:04.95\00:08:08.72
you know, and every
which way we're looking,
00:08:08.75\00:08:10.85
people are really
concerned of what's going on.
00:08:10.89\00:08:14.42
Will there be an end?
00:08:14.46\00:08:16.73
You know, this virus
has been a pestilence.
00:08:16.76\00:08:19.89
Interesting, I just heard
President Trump say yesterday,
00:08:19.93\00:08:23.43
he called it a plague.
00:08:23.47\00:08:25.90
Very interesting
thought, a plague.
00:08:25.93\00:08:27.74
It's plagued our
society at a time
00:08:27.77\00:08:29.60
I believe it's
part of Bible prophecy.
00:08:29.64\00:08:32.31
And I'm gonna talk
about a couple of things here
00:08:32.34\00:08:34.24
that might be a
little disturbing to some,
00:08:34.28\00:08:36.61
but I want you to
have food for thought
00:08:36.64\00:08:37.98
as we set a foundation,
00:08:38.01\00:08:39.78
but before we set
that foundation as always,
00:08:39.81\00:08:41.55
I want to just have
another quick prayer
00:08:41.58\00:08:42.92
if you don't mind.
00:08:42.95\00:08:44.29
Let's pray together, shall we?
00:08:44.32\00:08:47.06
Loving Father, in heaven,
00:08:47.09\00:08:48.42
we thank You for the
privilege of prayer we ask now
00:08:48.46\00:08:50.19
that Thy Holy
Spirit will be with us.
00:08:50.23\00:08:52.23
We pray that You
will consume our hearts,
00:08:52.26\00:08:53.80
our minds and our
lives will give hope
00:08:53.83\00:08:55.16
and encouragement
00:08:55.20\00:08:56.53
during this dark
hour of earth's history.
00:08:56.56\00:08:58.03
Bless us now we
pray that this end,
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.77
forgive us of my
sins and mistakes
00:08:59.80\00:09:01.97
and we pray that we'll
hear and receive the Holy Spirit
00:09:02.00\00:09:04.37
today in
abundance in Jesus' name.
00:09:04.41\00:09:06.11
Amen.
00:09:06.14\00:09:07.48
You know, I thought
that was big words coming,
00:09:10.65\00:09:12.68
you know, a lot of times
we have those in high places
00:09:12.71\00:09:15.85
that are talking about
things going on in the world
00:09:15.88\00:09:18.59
and they're using
things right out of the Bible,
00:09:18.62\00:09:20.42
right out of the Bible prophecy
and maybe not even realizing
00:09:20.46\00:09:23.79
what they are saying,
but those who have been
00:09:23.83\00:09:26.06
studying the Word of God,
you know what they've been,
00:09:26.09\00:09:28.43
you just thought they're
saying and what it pertains to.
00:09:28.46\00:09:31.47
There's a lot more
going on than meets the eye.
00:09:31.50\00:09:35.84
You know, this, to me
00:09:35.87\00:09:37.21
it's just another
piece of the puzzle
00:09:37.24\00:09:39.47
that you know in the whole world
00:09:39.51\00:09:41.61
it's like the
prophecy is a big puzzle
00:09:41.64\00:09:44.75
and there's pieces
being put in every day
00:09:44.78\00:09:47.02
and this is another
piece of that puzzle,
00:09:47.05\00:09:49.72
and it's going to bring
us together believe it or not
00:09:49.75\00:09:52.02
for some of you under the...
00:09:52.05\00:09:53.39
We talked about the New
World Order of this earth.
00:09:53.42\00:09:56.59
This is where it's
all boiling down to,
00:09:56.62\00:09:58.53
so let's keep our minds open,
00:09:58.56\00:09:59.89
throw some things out here
00:09:59.93\00:10:01.26
and see what you
think about them.
00:10:01.30\00:10:02.76
You know, we're
quickly losing our freedoms.
00:10:02.80\00:10:05.53
Every day that we wake up,
00:10:05.57\00:10:07.24
we've lost it seems
another freedom at what?
00:10:07.27\00:10:10.51
For the common good of others
00:10:10.54\00:10:13.04
as we find our
national government,
00:10:13.07\00:10:15.34
our local governments
and they're literally
00:10:15.38\00:10:17.88
daily
implementing new guidelines
00:10:17.91\00:10:21.02
and what they call a
war against the virus.
00:10:21.05\00:10:25.82
And so, there is a virus,
there is something going on,
00:10:25.85\00:10:28.59
many people have had
their head buried in the sand
00:10:28.62\00:10:30.46
and they're saying,
"Oh, well, you know that's,
00:10:30.49\00:10:32.19
I don't really believe in that."
00:10:32.23\00:10:33.56
Well, we need to
open our eyes and realize
00:10:33.60\00:10:35.46
this is more than
just a virus out there.
00:10:35.50\00:10:38.27
This is telling us,
that Bible's telling us that
00:10:38.30\00:10:40.64
Jesus is soon to
come, we need to be ready.
00:10:40.67\00:10:43.10
This is bigger than the
virus, it's called a sin issue
00:10:43.14\00:10:46.41
that we must deal with.
00:10:46.44\00:10:48.84
Keep in mind, there are those
who have said, now remember,
00:10:48.88\00:10:51.25
I'm throwing
some things out there
00:10:51.28\00:10:52.61
for us just to think about
and see how they might apply
00:10:52.65\00:10:56.69
or maybe you say
they don't apply.
00:10:56.72\00:10:59.55
There are those
who have been recorded
00:10:59.59\00:11:01.12
as saying that they
need population control,
00:11:01.16\00:11:06.49
and they want to do
it through vaccines.
00:11:06.53\00:11:08.70
I don't know what your
thought is about vaccines,
00:11:08.73\00:11:11.13
but these are
things we have to look at,
00:11:11.17\00:11:12.57
things we need
to be praying about,
00:11:12.60\00:11:13.94
things we need to act upon
00:11:13.97\00:11:15.30
because I believe this
time is certainly coming,
00:11:15.34\00:11:17.47
it's here and
we're going to have
00:11:17.51\00:11:19.37
to act on these things quickly.
00:11:19.41\00:11:21.74
People who have a lot of money,
00:11:21.78\00:11:23.11
we're talking
billions of dollars
00:11:23.14\00:11:24.48
have made the public statements,
00:11:24.51\00:11:26.31
they said, you know what?
00:11:26.35\00:11:27.68
We're going to have
to give this vaccine
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.52
because it will help
control the population
00:11:29.55\00:11:31.12
because they say,
00:11:31.15\00:11:32.49
"There's too many
people on the earth."
00:11:32.52\00:11:34.32
And then if you
don't have that vaccine,
00:11:34.36\00:11:37.03
if you don't get a
vaccine so that you can
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.86
or you're the
survivor of this virus,
00:11:39.89\00:11:42.33
if you don't
have that paperwork,
00:11:42.36\00:11:43.77
you really can't travel.
00:11:43.80\00:11:45.93
Very, very interesting
when you think about that?
00:11:45.97\00:11:49.04
What will that lead to?
What could that lead to?
00:11:49.07\00:11:51.97
You have to
have a piece of paper
00:11:52.01\00:11:53.34
to say that I've had a shot,
00:11:53.38\00:11:54.71
or that I've survived the virus,
00:11:54.74\00:11:56.14
or I'll not be able to travel,
00:11:56.18\00:11:57.51
I'll not be able to go anyplace.
00:11:57.55\00:12:00.15
Interesting, could it
possibly lead to the point
00:12:00.18\00:12:02.62
to where and if God sees that
00:12:02.65\00:12:05.32
it might lead
to the point of you
00:12:05.35\00:12:06.72
not be able to buy or sell.
00:12:06.76\00:12:09.12
Could it come to that point?
00:12:09.16\00:12:10.49
Absolutely, we're seeing things
00:12:10.53\00:12:11.86
now out of the
ordinary taking place.
00:12:11.89\00:12:14.13
Laws are being passed.
00:12:14.16\00:12:15.80
In fact you know like States
00:12:15.83\00:12:17.37
just as Illinois for
instance since we live here.
00:12:17.40\00:12:20.54
They're looking
into passing a law that
00:12:20.57\00:12:22.54
we requires all vaccinations
mandatory for children
00:12:22.57\00:12:26.81
who wish to attend school,
so it's going to be mandatory
00:12:26.84\00:12:30.95
that we have to
take these shots.
00:12:30.98\00:12:33.45
Parents in
Illinois will no longer be
00:12:33.48\00:12:35.25
able to claim
religion as a reason, you see,
00:12:35.28\00:12:39.05
to refuse
vaccination of their children.
00:12:39.09\00:12:41.56
See, this is the
time that we're living in.
00:12:41.59\00:12:43.46
This is the time
that we need to realize
00:12:43.49\00:12:45.26
with all of our
heart, our soul, and our mind
00:12:45.29\00:12:47.93
that you know
whether we believe that
00:12:47.96\00:12:49.73
this is taking place or
not, it is taking place.
00:12:49.76\00:12:53.03
It is taking place in the world,
00:12:53.07\00:12:54.84
whether we believe that
this virus was originated,
00:12:54.87\00:12:58.31
it came from a
lab, or rather it came
00:12:58.34\00:13:01.14
from Wuhan there, or maybe
00:13:01.18\00:13:03.91
it could possibly be here
very little said about it,
00:13:03.95\00:13:06.55
could it be that we have been
00:13:06.58\00:13:07.92
transgressing
the laws of health.
00:13:07.95\00:13:10.39
Could it possibly be that
we're taking the wrong things
00:13:10.42\00:13:12.72
into our system and
this is a way of getting
00:13:12.75\00:13:16.12
a release from that and so,
00:13:16.16\00:13:18.23
coming out here so
we can take a look at it
00:13:18.26\00:13:20.23
and maybe change some things.
00:13:20.26\00:13:22.86
And then you know
I've heard a lot about
00:13:22.90\00:13:25.27
dangerous amount
of radiation coming
00:13:25.30\00:13:27.57
from this 5G which basically
00:13:27.60\00:13:30.11
has some of the
same effect symptoms
00:13:30.14\00:13:33.27
as the virus does, but
regardless of its origin,
00:13:33.31\00:13:36.98
regardless of
where it came from,
00:13:37.01\00:13:39.28
people are becoming ill,
they're becoming very sick,
00:13:39.31\00:13:43.49
and the hospitals
are being flooded.
00:13:43.52\00:13:45.82
Doctors and nurses
there seem to be overworked.
00:13:45.85\00:13:49.62
What are we
going to do about that?
00:13:49.66\00:13:51.59
Is there
anything that can be done
00:13:51.63\00:13:53.16
because they're overwhelmed,
00:13:53.19\00:13:54.53
they're putting
their life on the line.
00:13:54.56\00:13:57.80
And then it seems though that,
then they have a hard time,
00:13:57.83\00:14:00.34
they have to go home
and then they're worried
00:14:00.37\00:14:02.07
about infecting
their own family,
00:14:02.10\00:14:03.64
and their own children,
and their own loved ones.
00:14:03.67\00:14:07.08
Man, what an
hour that we live in,
00:14:07.11\00:14:09.11
in the history of this
world, America shutting down,
00:14:09.14\00:14:12.98
a world of fear and uncertainty.
00:14:13.01\00:14:16.08
Think about, after several weeks
00:14:16.12\00:14:17.62
we could say go
there're several months
00:14:17.65\00:14:19.15
now here non-stop broadcasting.
00:14:19.19\00:14:22.86
We hear it every day,
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.23
this is all that
we hear on radio,
00:14:24.26\00:14:25.59
now over here on TV
00:14:25.63\00:14:26.96
about this latest
pandemic COVID-19.
00:14:27.00\00:14:30.93
It's 24/7 work going on,
00:14:30.97\00:14:33.60
it's going on
with the government's,
00:14:33.64\00:14:34.97
it's going, you know,
00:14:35.00\00:14:36.34
again at the
state, the local levels,
00:14:36.37\00:14:38.71
you know, hospitals,
00:14:38.74\00:14:40.08
over again we've
mentioned overwork.
00:14:40.11\00:14:42.11
The greatest minds
in the medical field
00:14:42.14\00:14:44.55
have come
together, they're working on
00:14:44.58\00:14:46.25
something that
will fix this virus,
00:14:46.28\00:14:48.75
something that we can take
00:14:48.78\00:14:50.12
that will help us
get rid of this virus,
00:14:50.15\00:14:53.29
and some headway
seems to be made.
00:14:53.32\00:14:55.66
People are
praying, people are fasting,
00:14:55.69\00:14:58.26
people are
seeking the face of God,
00:14:58.29\00:15:00.76
but you know, it
seems not to be fast enough,
00:15:00.80\00:15:03.23
for some people they say
00:15:03.26\00:15:04.60
we need something
else to take place.
00:15:04.63\00:15:06.63
Why?
00:15:06.67\00:15:08.04
At least three quarters of
the United States of America
00:15:08.07\00:15:11.57
right now is asked to stay home.
00:15:11.61\00:15:14.44
You know, how can
you run an economy
00:15:14.48\00:15:16.04
if three
quarters of the population
00:15:16.08\00:15:17.41
stays at home?
00:15:17.45\00:15:18.78
How long can this go on
00:15:18.81\00:15:20.62
without severe
economic collapse?
00:15:20.65\00:15:23.12
Because the Bible
does predict that,
00:15:23.15\00:15:25.55
and it is going to
happen whether it's now
00:15:25.59\00:15:27.49
or whether it's
later down the road.
00:15:27.52\00:15:30.46
But we need to be,
put our minds around this
00:15:30.49\00:15:32.33
and focus on us,
we're asked to stay home
00:15:32.36\00:15:34.16
where the shutting down
of America, this country.
00:15:34.20\00:15:38.00
Will the economy hold up?
00:15:38.03\00:15:41.14
When will this
virus come to an end?
00:15:41.17\00:15:43.77
Will it come to an end?
00:15:43.81\00:15:46.17
We want it to come to
an end not just today,
00:15:46.21\00:15:48.44
we wanted it to
come to end yesterday.
00:15:48.48\00:15:50.98
But what is God
trying to tell us
00:15:51.01\00:15:52.35
through all of this?
00:15:52.38\00:15:54.52
Who's to blame?
00:15:54.55\00:15:56.28
Oh, we find a lot
of people talks about,
00:15:56.32\00:15:57.92
well, we can blame this
group, we can blame that group
00:15:57.95\00:16:00.06
and we blame all
of this and that.
00:16:00.09\00:16:01.42
Let's just put the
blame on where it goes
00:16:01.46\00:16:03.29
and certainly number one
00:16:03.32\00:16:04.66
would be the
enemy, would it not?
00:16:04.69\00:16:06.19
In 1 Selected Messages 269,
00:16:06.23\00:16:08.60
there's a couple of paragraphs
here and maybe kind of,
00:16:08.63\00:16:10.67
might get long in reading here,
00:16:10.70\00:16:12.90
but I want you to pay
special attention to it,
00:16:12.93\00:16:15.10
1 Selected Messages 269.
00:16:15.14\00:16:17.61
And notice what it
says, "Satan looked"
00:16:17.64\00:16:19.77
and now we're talking about here
00:16:19.81\00:16:21.38
at the time of Christ,
00:16:21.41\00:16:23.35
"upon the result
of his temptation
00:16:23.38\00:16:25.61
to the increase of
sin in the continued
00:16:25.65\00:16:27.82
transgression of God's law
for more than 4,000 years."
00:16:27.85\00:16:31.62
Notice that.
00:16:31.65\00:16:33.42
"He had worked
the ruin of our" what?
00:16:33.46\00:16:35.66
"Of our first parents,
00:16:35.69\00:16:38.29
and brought sin and
death into the world."
00:16:38.33\00:16:40.36
Who's the one that brings
sin and death into the world?
00:16:40.40\00:16:42.40
It is the enemy for
sure. Now notice what he did?
00:16:42.43\00:16:45.73
"He had led to ruin
multitudes of the ages,
00:16:45.77\00:16:51.11
to ruin as it were the
countries, all classes.
00:16:51.14\00:16:54.94
He had by his power,
00:16:54.98\00:16:56.31
controlled the
cities and nations
00:16:56.34\00:16:58.95
until their sin
provoked the wrath of God
00:16:58.98\00:17:02.18
to destroy them by,"
now notice this, "by fire,
00:17:02.22\00:17:05.25
by water, by earthquake,
sword, famine, and pestilence."
00:17:05.29\00:17:10.89
Well, you talk about
interesting statement there,
00:17:10.93\00:17:13.46
you could spend a
lot of time on that.
00:17:13.50\00:17:15.63
Notice we see
these things happening
00:17:15.66\00:17:17.63
right now that the
enemy has been controlled.
00:17:17.67\00:17:20.54
Remember, when every person
has been born on this planet,
00:17:20.57\00:17:24.21
you know, has fell underneath
00:17:24.24\00:17:25.57
the power of the
enemy except for one.
00:17:25.61\00:17:27.98
So the enemy's kind
of had things the way
00:17:28.01\00:17:29.54
that he wanted in and
certainly until the cross.
00:17:29.58\00:17:32.58
But now he still is claiming
that he is still the head,
00:17:32.61\00:17:35.28
he still wants to
sit in Christ's place.
00:17:35.32\00:17:38.39
He's leading men to
sin, to break God's law.
00:17:38.42\00:17:42.06
And then what does God do?
00:17:42.09\00:17:43.43
After a while, he
gives over to that,
00:17:43.46\00:17:46.09
he simply says right here that
the fire, floods, pestilent,
00:17:46.13\00:17:50.63
these things that we see
happening in the world today,
00:17:50.67\00:17:52.83
the judgments of
God falling in the land.
00:17:52.87\00:17:55.20
We need to stop saying,
00:17:55.24\00:17:56.77
they're going to
happen, they're going to fall.
00:17:56.81\00:17:58.91
This is going to take
place, that's going to take,
00:17:58.94\00:18:00.68
it's taking place right now,
00:18:00.71\00:18:02.24
and only by the grace
of God will we continue on,
00:18:02.28\00:18:05.81
you see with the
blessings of the Lord.
00:18:05.85\00:18:07.38
He's wanting to
bless some people,
00:18:07.42\00:18:09.38
and he's going to be
blessings some people,
00:18:09.42\00:18:10.92
those who honor Him.
00:18:10.95\00:18:13.19
And so I
certainly have a, you know,
00:18:13.22\00:18:14.59
a question for each
and every one of us here.
00:18:14.62\00:18:16.56
Could our time
be up? Think about.
00:18:16.59\00:18:19.73
Could our time
really be up right now?
00:18:19.76\00:18:22.86
What about our probation
as a nation, as an individual?
00:18:22.90\00:18:27.70
Could it be that
it's almost expired?
00:18:27.74\00:18:30.17
Maybe we've gone too far.
00:18:30.21\00:18:32.94
Is it possible
we've gone too far?
00:18:32.97\00:18:34.44
After all we push
God out of everything
00:18:34.48\00:18:36.41
we possibly can push Him out of.
00:18:36.44\00:18:38.21
And people just day
by day ignoring God,
00:18:38.25\00:18:40.42
ignoring what God's will is for,
00:18:40.45\00:18:42.18
ignoring His Word and
doing what we want to do.
00:18:42.22\00:18:45.12
There comes the time
that God will rise up,
00:18:45.15\00:18:49.12
and God's voice will be heard,
and God's voice will be obeyed.
00:18:49.16\00:18:53.80
But could it be
that we've gone too far?
00:18:53.83\00:18:58.43
Or is this a time that God
00:18:58.47\00:18:59.80
is simply
warning us one more time,
00:18:59.83\00:19:01.20
get ready, get ready, get ready.
00:19:01.24\00:19:03.47
These things are up on the land.
00:19:03.51\00:19:05.97
I mean after all,
in studying and reading
00:19:06.01\00:19:07.71
the Word of God we
can find out surely
00:19:07.74\00:19:09.81
that God gives nations
and people and individuals
00:19:09.84\00:19:13.11
a certain amount
of probationary time,
00:19:13.15\00:19:15.58
and when that
time is up, that's it.
00:19:15.62\00:19:17.95
How close is it to your
time? Is your time maybe up?
00:19:17.99\00:19:23.06
Or what is God doing here to us?
00:19:23.09\00:19:24.79
How is He speaking to us?
00:19:24.83\00:19:26.70
I like the Book of Luke 21:26.
00:19:26.73\00:19:33.13
Now, think about this,
and I want to make this clear,
00:19:33.17\00:19:36.14
this passage of scripture,
00:19:36.17\00:19:37.87
certainly the last
couple lines refers to the...
00:19:37.91\00:19:40.48
We're talking about
this seven last plagues
00:19:40.51\00:19:42.91
when God is going to
be shaking the heavens.
00:19:42.94\00:19:45.21
But I believe the
principle of this word here,
00:19:45.25\00:19:47.48
we need to think about.
00:19:47.52\00:19:48.98
It says, "Men's
hearts failing them for fear,
00:19:49.02\00:19:51.35
and looking,
notice, after those things
00:19:51.39\00:19:53.69
which are coming on the earth."
00:19:53.72\00:19:55.69
Notice that, what...
00:19:55.72\00:19:57.06
For the things
that are coming up,
00:19:57.09\00:19:58.43
men's hearts are doing what?
00:19:58.46\00:19:59.79
Failing them for fear,
00:19:59.83\00:20:01.63
and this right here
means they're fainting.
00:20:01.66\00:20:03.97
That means their lack of breath.
00:20:04.00\00:20:05.80
You hear somebody that
gets it maybe they're fearful,
00:20:05.83\00:20:07.54
you shock them, you say boo,
00:20:07.57\00:20:08.90
and they scream,
oh, I can't breathe.
00:20:08.94\00:20:11.84
Men's heart are
failing them for fear.
00:20:11.87\00:20:14.31
They are afraid.
00:20:14.34\00:20:15.88
They're in terror
of what's happening.
00:20:15.91\00:20:18.65
I've talked to people
who are scared to death
00:20:18.68\00:20:21.05
of what's going on right now.
00:20:21.08\00:20:22.42
Should we really be that scared?
00:20:22.45\00:20:25.39
Well, certainly is a reality,
and certainly these deaths
00:20:25.42\00:20:28.49
and these afflictions,
you know are for real,
00:20:28.52\00:20:32.56
but how should we as
Christians approach this.
00:20:32.59\00:20:35.46
There're four,
00:20:35.50\00:20:36.83
I'd like to tell
four great motives,
00:20:36.87\00:20:39.67
you know, that
moves people into action.
00:20:39.70\00:20:41.84
You know I like people
that's moved into action,
00:20:41.87\00:20:43.51
like people that
are action people.
00:20:43.54\00:20:45.31
I'd like to be around the movers
00:20:45.34\00:20:46.68
and the shakers,
things that are going on.
00:20:46.71\00:20:48.71
But there's four
things, notice this,
00:20:48.74\00:20:50.45
that move people into action.
00:20:50.48\00:20:51.91
Number one is
fear. Number two is hope.
00:20:51.95\00:20:56.02
Number three is faith.
And number four is love.
00:20:56.05\00:21:00.29
These four things bring
people to the point of action.
00:21:00.32\00:21:04.76
Of course, fear
is in first in order.
00:21:04.79\00:21:08.43
Sometime fear is nothing
more than a superficial anxiety.
00:21:08.46\00:21:14.24
A lot of people,
millions have that
00:21:14.27\00:21:15.80
in the world today,
00:21:15.84\00:21:17.17
but sometime it's
pretty deep-seated,
00:21:17.21\00:21:19.81
and if it's not controlled,
if things changes are not made,
00:21:19.84\00:21:23.31
it turns into a panic situation.
00:21:23.35\00:21:27.72
How do you deal with
people in a panic situation?
00:21:27.75\00:21:29.82
It's hard to deal.
00:21:29.85\00:21:31.19
It's hard to, you know,
00:21:31.22\00:21:32.55
just to try to
reason with someone
00:21:32.59\00:21:33.92
who's in a panic situation.
00:21:33.96\00:21:37.49
Fear can manifest itself.
00:21:37.53\00:21:39.13
You say, "Well, how
does fear manifest itself?"
00:21:39.16\00:21:41.03
It can manifest fear itself
in a lot of different ways.
00:21:41.06\00:21:44.33
For instance, fear of what?
00:21:44.37\00:21:46.03
What we're going
through right now,
00:21:46.07\00:21:47.50
shutting down of America
is the fear of losing our job.
00:21:47.54\00:21:50.61
Look at the millions
that have lost their jobs.
00:21:50.64\00:21:52.74
Look at the
millions who not knowing
00:21:52.77\00:21:54.84
where their next
paycheck is going to come from.
00:21:54.88\00:21:56.78
Look at the millions
that's going on and say,
00:21:56.81\00:21:58.78
"I don't know
how I'm going to pay
00:21:58.81\00:22:00.15
my electric bill, and
my house or my car payment.
00:22:00.18\00:22:01.98
I don't know how
that I'm going to get by."
00:22:02.02\00:22:04.09
These things are real
00:22:04.12\00:22:06.25
and they need to be
addressed the way that
00:22:06.29\00:22:09.12
God would have
us to address them,
00:22:09.16\00:22:11.19
so the fear of losing a job.
00:22:11.23\00:22:12.96
How about this? The
fear of growing old.
00:22:12.99\00:22:15.66
Many people are
fearful of growing old.
00:22:15.70\00:22:19.20
Many people are
fearful of a disease,
00:22:19.23\00:22:22.90
catching a certain disease,
dying of a certain disease.
00:22:22.94\00:22:26.88
And there's many people
who live in fear of being,
00:22:26.91\00:22:28.74
now listen
carefully, of being exposed.
00:22:28.78\00:22:31.01
Exposed for something they said,
00:22:31.05\00:22:32.38
something that they've done,
00:22:32.41\00:22:33.88
something that's went
on they don't want to be
00:22:33.92\00:22:35.62
brought to light, but
they're afraid of that.
00:22:35.65\00:22:39.39
And sometime we talk about here,
00:22:39.42\00:22:40.76
what we're talking
about now is we fear the,
00:22:40.79\00:22:43.43
a troublesome
thing called a virus.
00:22:43.46\00:22:46.39
It's named Coronavirus.
00:22:46.43\00:22:49.03
Should we fear these things?
Is it right to fear them?
00:22:49.06\00:22:51.93
Is it good to have a healthy
respect for these things?
00:22:51.97\00:22:54.94
People are fearful,
people are concerned,
00:22:54.97\00:22:57.77
and people are
looking for answers.
00:22:57.81\00:23:00.31
That's why they're going
to places that they're going,
00:23:00.34\00:23:02.01
they're making
the telephone calls,
00:23:02.04\00:23:03.88
they're meeting,
they're going back,
00:23:03.91\00:23:05.25
try to go to church
where you can't go right now,
00:23:05.28\00:23:07.55
but you're meeting
outside and speakers are out,
00:23:07.58\00:23:09.68
there's people wanting
to hear the Word of God.
00:23:09.72\00:23:12.65
This we know in 1 John 5:12.
00:23:12.69\00:23:15.46
This we know for sure
because the Bible says so.
00:23:15.49\00:23:18.66
You know, the Bible says,
00:23:18.69\00:23:20.30
"He that hath
the Son hath" what?
00:23:20.33\00:23:23.13
"He that hath the Son
hath life and, of course,
00:23:23.16\00:23:25.17
he that hath not the
Son of God hath not life."
00:23:25.20\00:23:28.57
So we know as a Christian.
00:23:28.60\00:23:30.84
Now, if you don't
have Christ in your life,
00:23:30.87\00:23:32.51
then may you
don't have this hope.
00:23:32.54\00:23:34.74
But if you had the Son,
00:23:34.78\00:23:36.11
if you accepted
Jesus as your Lord
00:23:36.14\00:23:37.65
and as your Savior
right now, you have life.
00:23:37.68\00:23:40.62
The Bible says,
"You have it life
00:23:40.65\00:23:41.98
and you have it
certainly more abundantly,
00:23:42.02\00:23:43.75
but if you don't have
Him, you don't have any life."
00:23:43.79\00:23:46.96
I asked myself the
question a lot of times is,
00:23:46.99\00:23:48.86
how do people make it?
00:23:48.89\00:23:50.99
How do they make it
00:23:51.03\00:23:52.36
if they don't have
Christ in their life?
00:23:52.39\00:23:53.86
They don't have
someone they can turn to,
00:23:53.90\00:23:55.33
someone that they can talk to.
00:23:55.36\00:23:56.80
Your closest friend,
someone that you know
00:23:56.83\00:23:59.30
can move mountains,
someone that you know
00:23:59.33\00:24:01.34
can change situation,
00:24:01.37\00:24:02.70
someone that you know that
00:24:02.74\00:24:04.07
you can talk to that cares about
00:24:04.11\00:24:05.61
what you're going through.
00:24:05.64\00:24:08.58
Well, we know who that is?
00:24:08.61\00:24:09.94
That's
certainly Jesus, isn't it?
00:24:09.98\00:24:11.75
Fear causes people
to act differently.
00:24:11.78\00:24:14.92
They act strange when they...
00:24:14.95\00:24:16.95
You've been around
somebody that's really is afraid
00:24:16.99\00:24:18.69
and all of sudden
they're just like,
00:24:18.72\00:24:20.06
they're out of their mind.
00:24:20.09\00:24:21.69
You don't know
what they're gonna say,
00:24:21.72\00:24:23.06
you don't know what
they're going to do.
00:24:23.09\00:24:25.69
Give you a little quick example,
00:24:25.73\00:24:27.06
little story about a
woman just returned from Mexico,
00:24:27.10\00:24:30.17
and she returned
from Mexico to the States,
00:24:30.20\00:24:32.20
immediately she
called the police.
00:24:32.23\00:24:34.17
So I'm calling the police.
Why you calling the police for?
00:24:34.20\00:24:37.11
Because there's a
rattlesnake in my bag.
00:24:37.14\00:24:40.34
A rattlesnake in your bag?
00:24:40.38\00:24:42.14
Well, naturally she took it
00:24:42.18\00:24:43.58
and threw it out the
window and said, man,
00:24:43.61\00:24:45.25
I need some help,
so the police came out
00:24:45.28\00:24:47.05
and they took all the contents,
they opened the bag carefully
00:24:47.08\00:24:49.92
and they put out
the contents out there
00:24:49.95\00:24:51.45
and they looked
and they couldn't find,
00:24:51.49\00:24:52.82
there was not,
00:24:52.85\00:24:54.19
there wasn't a
rattlesnake in there
00:24:54.22\00:24:55.56
but what they found was a,
00:24:55.59\00:24:56.93
notice this, an
electric toothbrush
00:24:56.96\00:24:58.79
that had been
accidentally turned on.
00:24:58.83\00:25:02.10
Now just think
for a moment with me.
00:25:02.13\00:25:06.03
I'm not saying
what we are in is a,
00:25:06.07\00:25:08.77
compared to a
electric toothbrush.
00:25:08.80\00:25:11.77
I'm saying it's a rattlesnake.
00:25:11.81\00:25:13.88
I'm saying it's poison
00:25:13.91\00:25:16.08
and so we need
some outside help.
00:25:16.11\00:25:18.85
We need not fear
because my Bible says
00:25:18.88\00:25:21.45
in 1 John 4:18, the Bible says,
perfect love does something?
00:25:21.48\00:25:26.55
What?
00:25:26.59\00:25:27.92
I thought I heard
you, I thought I heard you,
00:25:27.96\00:25:29.36
perfect love casts out what?
00:25:29.39\00:25:31.03
All fear.
00:25:31.06\00:25:32.39
I'm just gonna leave with that,
00:25:32.43\00:25:33.76
perfect love casts out all fear.
00:25:33.80\00:25:35.26
And notices this,
00:25:35.30\00:25:36.63
what about this
thing called love,
00:25:36.67\00:25:38.57
this thing called love here
00:25:38.60\00:25:40.27
is a deliberate
ascent of the will to God.
00:25:40.30\00:25:44.77
Did you get that?
00:25:44.81\00:25:46.14
This thing called love
00:25:46.17\00:25:47.51
is the deliberate
ascent of the will of God,
00:25:47.54\00:25:52.05
of the will to God.
00:25:52.08\00:25:54.82
So have you really
given yourself to Him?
00:25:54.85\00:25:56.75
If you really
submitted your will to Him?
00:25:56.79\00:25:59.62
And pray not my will
00:25:59.65\00:26:00.99
but thine be done
certainly in this time,
00:26:01.02\00:26:03.93
perfect love
casteth out all fear,
00:26:03.96\00:26:06.70
and that means being afraid.
00:26:06.73\00:26:08.76
We need not be afraid.
00:26:08.80\00:26:12.10
Be concerned? Absolutely.
00:26:12.13\00:26:13.47
Follow the rules and regulations
00:26:13.50\00:26:14.84
where we can?
00:26:14.87\00:26:16.20
Absolutely, we
should be doing that.
00:26:16.24\00:26:18.27
This is how the enemy
wants to try to get rid of you
00:26:18.31\00:26:20.24
and try to get rid of me.
00:26:20.28\00:26:22.81
But where do we get
this kind of wisdom?
00:26:22.84\00:26:24.21
Well, the Bible says in
Proverbs 1:7, the Bible says,
00:26:24.25\00:26:29.18
"The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of" what?
00:26:29.22\00:26:32.72
"Of wisdom or knowledge,
but fools despise the" what?
00:26:32.75\00:26:35.92
"The wisdom and instruction."
00:26:35.96\00:26:38.16
So the main point
we're looking here,
00:26:38.19\00:26:39.53
the fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom,
00:26:39.56\00:26:42.60
the respect accepting
Christ as your Lord and Savior.
00:26:42.63\00:26:46.50
After all, we do live in
a fearful time, do we not?
00:26:46.53\00:26:49.30
Absolutely, we
live in a fearful time.
00:26:49.34\00:26:52.47
And since we live in
that time, then I believe that
00:26:52.51\00:26:55.18
we need to look
a few Bible passage
00:26:55.21\00:26:56.95
here as quickly as we
can and claim each one.
00:26:56.98\00:26:59.61
Remember, the Bible here
is full of Bible promises
00:26:59.65\00:27:02.68
and that we can look
at these Bible promise,
00:27:02.72\00:27:04.52
we can read
those Bible promises,
00:27:04.55\00:27:05.92
put our finger on
those Bible promises
00:27:05.95\00:27:07.72
and claim them as your own.
00:27:07.76\00:27:09.16
It's going to take some
faith. How is your faith?
00:27:09.19\00:27:11.53
Have you been
exercising your faith lately?
00:27:11.56\00:27:14.86
And you've been
studying the Word of God,
00:27:14.90\00:27:16.23
you've been
spending time in prayer
00:27:16.26\00:27:17.60
or you have just neglected it?
00:27:17.63\00:27:19.83
You realize we're
in a very awesome time
00:27:19.87\00:27:21.94
in earth's
history, realize some things
00:27:21.97\00:27:23.30
going on you just can't explain.
00:27:23.34\00:27:24.77
You don't know how
it's going to end up.
00:27:24.81\00:27:27.88
But now all of a
sudden you want to get back
00:27:27.91\00:27:29.68
in relationship with God.
00:27:29.71\00:27:31.05
Well, that's good news
but is it because of fear
00:27:31.08\00:27:33.82
or is it because
you recognize that
00:27:33.85\00:27:35.18
you've fallen short
and you've neglected God
00:27:35.22\00:27:37.45
and you want to
come back to Him?
00:27:37.49\00:27:39.59
He wants you to come.
00:27:39.62\00:27:40.96
He said, "I
came to seek and save
00:27:40.99\00:27:42.32
that certainly which was lost."
00:27:42.36\00:27:44.13
Let's look up
several passes quickly.
00:27:44.16\00:27:45.49
In the Book of Isaiah 41:10,
00:27:45.53\00:27:48.93
I'm not going to read
all of that Isaiah 41:10,
00:27:48.96\00:27:52.47
but I want you to just notice,
00:27:52.50\00:27:53.84
Isaiah 41:10,
says, "Fear not..."
00:27:53.87\00:27:56.47
I love this. "Fear
not for I am," what?
00:27:56.50\00:27:59.07
"I am with thee:
00:27:59.11\00:28:00.74
be not dismayed,
for I am thy God."
00:28:00.78\00:28:02.94
What a wonderful promise.
00:28:02.98\00:28:04.98
First of all, do
you notice Isaiah
00:28:05.01\00:28:06.35
says fear not, first thing.
00:28:06.38\00:28:08.15
When angels appeared
00:28:08.18\00:28:09.52
and so on to man
and says, fear not.
00:28:09.55\00:28:11.35
Don't be afraid.
00:28:11.39\00:28:13.25
There's help that is arising,
00:28:13.29\00:28:14.82
it will arrive for you fear not,
00:28:14.86\00:28:16.46
I am with thee.
00:28:16.49\00:28:18.76
Don't be
dismayed, don't be torn up.
00:28:18.79\00:28:21.46
Don't be thrown
from side to side
00:28:21.50\00:28:22.90
not knowing what to do.
00:28:22.93\00:28:24.40
You know somebody
call you for encouragement,
00:28:24.43\00:28:26.13
person, you've discouraged them.
00:28:26.17\00:28:27.57
No, encourage them
with the Word of God.
00:28:27.60\00:28:29.27
Don't be dismayed, why?
00:28:29.30\00:28:30.64
God said, "Don't
be because I'm God."
00:28:30.67\00:28:32.57
Why? because I
can change things.
00:28:32.61\00:28:35.28
I can order I say,
I order the heavens,
00:28:35.31\00:28:36.98
I can order things in the earth.
00:28:37.01\00:28:39.61
I can clean things up.
00:28:39.65\00:28:40.98
God can clean up just
like that if He so chooses,
00:28:41.02\00:28:42.88
if not maybe
He's going to see us
00:28:42.92\00:28:44.52
go through this time
of trouble as it were,
00:28:44.55\00:28:48.09
that our relationship with Him
might be what it needs to be.
00:28:48.12\00:28:51.49
Isaiah 43:1,
00:28:51.53\00:28:53.46
love this
passage of scripture too.
00:28:53.50\00:28:55.76
It says, "Fear not,
for I have redeemed thee."
00:28:55.80\00:28:58.13
Again, just a couple of lines,
I don't read the whole verse
00:28:58.17\00:29:00.14
and we haven't
had time to do that.
00:29:00.17\00:29:01.50
"Fear not, for I am," what?
00:29:01.54\00:29:03.41
"I have redeemed
thee, I have called thee by,
00:29:03.44\00:29:07.01
oh, thy name, thou art mine."
00:29:07.04\00:29:09.68
I mean how personal can that be?
00:29:09.71\00:29:12.98
To me that's very personal.
00:29:13.01\00:29:16.35
Fear not, number
one, I have redeemed thee.
00:29:16.38\00:29:19.22
And notice this,
00:29:19.25\00:29:20.59
such a personal
relationship with God,
00:29:20.62\00:29:22.22
He says, I call you by
name, by your first name.
00:29:22.26\00:29:25.06
I know every hair on your head.
00:29:25.09\00:29:26.43
I know everything
that you're going through.
00:29:26.46\00:29:28.40
I know exactly what you need.
00:29:28.43\00:29:29.76
And sometime we
think we need the things
00:29:29.80\00:29:31.33
of the world, we
need to know what?
00:29:31.37\00:29:32.70
God said, "You just need me."
00:29:32.73\00:29:34.90
Now is the time to
make that decision for Him.
00:29:34.94\00:29:37.11
There's too many
riding on the fence.
00:29:37.14\00:29:39.24
They've been riding on it
for such a long period of time.
00:29:39.27\00:29:41.71
Jesus is soon to come,
probation is going to come.
00:29:41.74\00:29:45.11
Trumpet after trumpet
is sounding as it were,
00:29:45.15\00:29:47.02
alarm after alarm.
00:29:47.05\00:29:48.82
It's an emergency time.
00:29:48.85\00:29:51.49
If you don't, we
don't see it now,
00:29:51.52\00:29:52.85
maybe we're
never going to see it,
00:29:52.89\00:29:54.22
but pray that God will
impress that on your mind.
00:29:54.26\00:29:56.52
He said, "I know
your name, you're mine."
00:29:56.56\00:29:59.63
Can anything happen to
you unless God gives approval?
00:29:59.66\00:30:02.33
No, God has to give approval
because He said, "You're mine."
00:30:02.36\00:30:04.63
But you have to turn your life
00:30:04.67\00:30:06.00
over to Him or
you're not His at all.
00:30:06.03\00:30:09.04
Isaiah 44:8, notice,
00:30:09.07\00:30:11.17
Isaiah 44:8, just
a line of it, says,
00:30:11.21\00:30:15.11
"Fear not, I will help thee."
00:30:15.14\00:30:18.38
Man, if we ever needed help,
00:30:18.41\00:30:19.75
we're in a society
that we live in the world
00:30:19.78\00:30:21.65
that we live in,
and all the things
00:30:21.68\00:30:23.15
that are going on,
00:30:23.18\00:30:24.52
men's hearts are
failing them for fear.
00:30:24.55\00:30:26.92
Things are coming on this earth.
00:30:26.96\00:30:28.39
People are committing
suicide. They're torn up.
00:30:28.42\00:30:31.89
They're worried
about the economy
00:30:31.93\00:30:33.26
and things that are going on,
00:30:33.29\00:30:35.26
because they have
not God but He says,
00:30:35.30\00:30:37.13
"Fear not, I'm
going to help you."
00:30:37.17\00:30:38.63
That's a promise.
00:30:38.67\00:30:40.00
So when you're feeling
down and out and maybe like,
00:30:40.04\00:30:41.94
oh, I don't know how
I'm gonna be able to go on.
00:30:41.97\00:30:43.74
Thy God says in His Word,
00:30:43.77\00:30:45.11
"Don't fear, I'm
going to help you."
00:30:45.14\00:30:46.88
But you know what?
00:30:46.91\00:30:48.24
He stands at the door and knock,
00:30:48.28\00:30:49.61
you've got to let Him in.
00:30:49.64\00:30:50.98
Let's let Him in.
00:30:51.01\00:30:52.35
He said, "I'm
going to help you."
00:30:52.38\00:30:53.72
Again, Isaiah 42:9,
I like this one here
00:30:53.75\00:30:56.42
because it gives
us some, you know,
00:30:56.45\00:30:57.85
some help talking
about the former things
00:30:57.89\00:31:00.09
and the things to come.
00:31:00.12\00:31:01.46
Notice, "Behold the
former things are come to pass,
00:31:01.49\00:31:05.53
new things do I declare:
00:31:05.56\00:31:08.40
before they spring forth
I will tell you of them."
00:31:08.43\00:31:11.73
What a God that we serve?
00:31:11.77\00:31:13.64
How wonderful to say
before things happen,
00:31:13.67\00:31:16.14
I'm going to let you know.
00:31:16.17\00:31:18.41
These things
here have been what,
00:31:18.44\00:31:20.38
for years you're talking
about Bible prophecy, students,
00:31:20.41\00:31:23.38
you've been
studying the Word of God.
00:31:23.41\00:31:24.81
You knew these things
are coming upon the earth.
00:31:24.85\00:31:27.08
You know that they're happening.
00:31:27.12\00:31:29.12
Instead of keep
saying they're going to,
00:31:29.15\00:31:30.49
they're going
to, they're going to,
00:31:30.52\00:31:31.85
it's now that we
need to look at carefully
00:31:31.89\00:31:35.72
because of the Coronavirus
00:31:35.76\00:31:38.13
we realized an
unpresidential shutdown,
00:31:38.16\00:31:41.73
you know, of
activity in the United States
00:31:41.76\00:31:44.37
and around the world.
00:31:44.40\00:31:45.73
Just allow me to go
over just a few things
00:31:45.77\00:31:47.24
again to try to
bring it into focus here.
00:31:47.27\00:31:49.54
It seemed to come
upon us so quickly.
00:31:49.57\00:31:52.37
It's like out of nowhere
this thing just happened.
00:31:52.41\00:31:54.94
If you'd asked somebody
three or four months ago,
00:31:54.98\00:31:56.75
can America be shut down?
00:31:56.78\00:31:58.85
Can
three-quarters of the population
00:31:58.88\00:32:00.22
be told to stay in your house?
00:32:00.25\00:32:01.98
Can you be told
that you not be outside?
00:32:02.02\00:32:03.85
Can you be told you're gonna
be fined if you go outside?
00:32:03.89\00:32:06.09
Be told you're
gonna have to wear a mask,
00:32:06.12\00:32:07.46
you're gonna have
to wear rubber gloves.
00:32:07.49\00:32:08.82
Many of you would
laugh your socks off.
00:32:08.86\00:32:11.69
But now we see that
these things can happen.
00:32:11.73\00:32:14.00
We say, "Well,
this is kind of minute,"
00:32:14.03\00:32:15.60
but it's going to
get worse as it goes on.
00:32:15.63\00:32:17.93
The Bible says it's
gonna wax worse and worse.
00:32:17.97\00:32:19.50
No, there's hope,
there's encouragement
00:32:19.53\00:32:21.00
we understand that,
00:32:21.04\00:32:22.37
but we have to
look at the reality
00:32:22.40\00:32:23.74
of what the Bible teaches.
00:32:23.77\00:32:26.71
We realize these last movements
we know will be rapid ones.
00:32:26.74\00:32:32.45
The authorities believe that
00:32:32.48\00:32:33.82
the outbreak could
change society for months.
00:32:33.85\00:32:37.79
Now they're saying,
00:32:37.82\00:32:39.15
oh, for years and
some are saying permanently
00:32:39.19\00:32:41.96
will never go
back the way it was,
00:32:41.99\00:32:44.89
as we well know
as we just look back,
00:32:44.93\00:32:47.93
9/11, 2008 so on and so forth.
00:32:47.96\00:32:51.30
We've never
returned the way that it was,
00:32:51.33\00:32:54.17
and this will be another issue
00:32:54.20\00:32:55.54
that will return if
God so allows to revive us
00:32:55.57\00:32:58.57
and He allows us to revive us
00:32:58.61\00:33:00.51
because He wants us to
be revived again in Him.
00:33:00.54\00:33:03.65
He's wanting us to
make that last effort.
00:33:03.68\00:33:05.78
Maybe he's making last
effort reaching out to you
00:33:05.81\00:33:07.52
and reaching out to me.
00:33:07.55\00:33:08.88
We might make a
decision for him.
00:33:08.92\00:33:12.59
So bad we realized
President Trump declared
00:33:12.62\00:33:14.56
the virus a national emergency.
00:33:14.59\00:33:16.49
Why would he do that?
00:33:16.52\00:33:17.86
Because it is an
emergency and because what?
00:33:17.89\00:33:20.23
It opens up more resources
to help those who are in need.
00:33:20.26\00:33:24.00
I don't think I've ever
seen, have you ever seen that
00:33:24.03\00:33:25.80
where all the
schools are closed,
00:33:25.83\00:33:28.44
sporting events
of every kind is,
00:33:28.47\00:33:30.34
completely is,
they've been canceled.
00:33:30.37\00:33:32.54
Panic buying is unbelievable.
00:33:32.57\00:33:35.28
You can't go buy a tissue.
00:33:35.31\00:33:39.55
It's hard to buy
some of the thing
00:33:39.58\00:33:40.92
because everybody
as soon as it comes in,
00:33:40.95\00:33:42.32
they've got it and
they went home with it,
00:33:42.35\00:33:44.22
empty shelves,
and some stores you
00:33:44.25\00:33:46.29
thought this could never happen.
00:33:46.32\00:33:48.72
Stock market we
realize fell record levels,
00:33:48.76\00:33:53.93
record levels, and this caused
00:33:53.96\00:33:56.80
more fear and anxiety.
00:33:56.83\00:34:01.27
Virus confirmed in every
state in the United States,
00:34:01.30\00:34:04.64
and we know
certainly around the world.
00:34:04.67\00:34:06.68
Normalcy, what's normal?
Is there such thing as normal?
00:34:06.71\00:34:10.88
Normal right now
it's been replaced by fear
00:34:10.91\00:34:13.38
and anxiety and uncertainty.
00:34:13.42\00:34:17.75
Governor Cuomo
said not too long ago,
00:34:17.79\00:34:19.59
he said, my, my, we see
a lot, this thing he said,
00:34:19.62\00:34:22.26
first of all this
could last for a few months.
00:34:22.29\00:34:24.03
Two or three days
later said this thing
00:34:24.06\00:34:25.46
can last for six months.
00:34:25.49\00:34:26.83
Few days later he
says can last for months.
00:34:26.86\00:34:28.53
Now he said that lasting effects
00:34:28.56\00:34:30.07
may be for years.
00:34:30.10\00:34:31.43
Things are
changing, things have changed,
00:34:31.47\00:34:34.30
and they may not
come back to normal.
00:34:34.34\00:34:38.24
All states have
banned, you know,
00:34:38.27\00:34:40.81
large gathering, we
understand that and so,
00:34:40.84\00:34:43.11
what concern me
00:34:43.14\00:34:44.48
was the church doors are closed.
00:34:44.51\00:34:47.15
Has the devil won?
00:34:47.18\00:34:49.38
Are we not fighting
a good fight of faith?
00:34:49.42\00:34:51.25
Is something wrong here that
00:34:51.29\00:34:52.62
the doors of the
church are closed?
00:34:52.65\00:34:55.22
That just may be
the doors of a building,
00:34:55.26\00:34:56.86
that doesn't mean our
work has come to a close.
00:34:56.89\00:34:59.19
That means we need to
work harder than ever before,
00:34:59.23\00:35:02.13
but the enemy thinks we
closed the church doors,
00:35:02.16\00:35:03.73
people is going
to get discouraged.
00:35:03.77\00:35:05.10
I think it's going
to backfire on him.
00:35:05.13\00:35:06.67
I think there's
going to be more people
00:35:06.70\00:35:08.04
that's going to come back.
00:35:08.07\00:35:09.40
We've received text and emails.
00:35:09.44\00:35:11.67
Already people saying, you know,
00:35:11.71\00:35:13.04
I've been away
from God too long,
00:35:13.07\00:35:14.94
I need to get
back. How do I get back?
00:35:14.98\00:35:18.65
I need to get back to God
00:35:18.68\00:35:20.02
because I see
these are the end days.
00:35:20.05\00:35:24.35
Could it ever be
that we cannot, you know,
00:35:24.39\00:35:25.92
maybe we're gonna be
00:35:25.95\00:35:27.56
standing six feet
apart from now on.
00:35:27.59\00:35:30.19
We'll be wearing
masks and rubber gloves.
00:35:30.23\00:35:32.83
Only God knows,
00:35:32.86\00:35:34.20
but right now
the reality of it is
00:35:34.23\00:35:36.50
and the new norm, the new norm
I keep hearing about voluntary.
00:35:36.53\00:35:40.20
You know, we
talked about quarantine,
00:35:40.24\00:35:42.77
and restrictive quarantine,
and quarantine by law
00:35:42.80\00:35:45.97
and shelter in place,
00:35:46.01\00:35:47.78
and words I really haven't heard
00:35:47.81\00:35:49.14
and all these new
phrases coming out.
00:35:49.18\00:35:51.71
Is this the new norm?
00:35:51.75\00:35:54.62
Broadway closing down,
00:35:54.65\00:35:55.98
Disney closing down,
isn't that a big deal?
00:35:56.02\00:35:58.15
Beaches are being shut down
00:35:58.19\00:36:00.02
because you're
always going to have
00:36:00.06\00:36:01.39
those who are going to say what?
00:36:01.42\00:36:02.89
Oh, well, I'm not
going to be doing this.
00:36:02.92\00:36:05.09
Well, you're gonna find
out that you will one way
00:36:05.13\00:36:06.90
or the other when
the laws are passed.
00:36:06.93\00:36:10.83
We're in a time now for
the sake of this country
00:36:10.87\00:36:14.20
and of the world,
laws will be passed.
00:36:14.24\00:36:16.97
You will say, I know,
we have a Constitution,
00:36:17.01\00:36:19.21
we have a Bill of Rights.
00:36:19.24\00:36:20.74
Every one of those
things will be circled around
00:36:20.78\00:36:23.18
and we'll be able
to keep them on paper,
00:36:23.21\00:36:24.61
but they won't mean anything.
00:36:24.65\00:36:26.65
Man's already found a way
to go around every one of them
00:36:26.68\00:36:29.12
to get what we feel
is best for this country
00:36:29.15\00:36:31.75
and for this world even if
00:36:31.79\00:36:33.22
it steps on a
lot of other people.
00:36:33.25\00:36:36.69
Shutting down.
Interesting what they said.
00:36:36.73\00:36:39.06
Now, listen to this and
compare it with Bible prophecy,
00:36:39.09\00:36:41.50
those of you who are students
or those who have been reading.
00:36:41.53\00:36:44.03
Now remember,
talking about prophecy,
00:36:44.07\00:36:46.20
first of all is we warned
you and so the warning went
00:36:46.23\00:36:50.07
and most people did
not listen to the warning
00:36:50.11\00:36:52.14
and then they said,
we're going to find you.
00:36:52.17\00:36:56.75
And then many
people still did not listen
00:36:56.78\00:36:59.01
and so in New
York they just doubled
00:36:59.05\00:37:01.32
the fine to like $1000
00:37:01.35\00:37:03.42
if you're caught out
doing something that maybe not,
00:37:03.45\00:37:05.69
you're not authorized to do.
00:37:05.72\00:37:09.02
And then what happens
after that if you don't listen?
00:37:09.06\00:37:11.76
They arrest you
and put you in jail.
00:37:11.79\00:37:15.33
What's after that?
00:37:15.36\00:37:17.93
Does that sound
like some other laws
00:37:17.97\00:37:19.80
that are in the
making even right now?
00:37:19.83\00:37:22.74
And certainly we go
have to look at to it.
00:37:22.77\00:37:24.61
First of all is
you're going to be warned,
00:37:24.64\00:37:26.41
we're talking
about Sunday observance,
00:37:26.44\00:37:27.94
we understand that.
00:37:27.98\00:37:29.44
We're talking
about you're warned
00:37:29.48\00:37:30.88
and then you're
going to be fined,
00:37:30.91\00:37:32.25
and then you're
going to go right to jail
00:37:32.28\00:37:34.45
and then after that
there is a death decree,
00:37:34.48\00:37:36.15
Revelation 13 talks about.
00:37:36.18\00:37:39.55
Hundreds, worldwide
hundreds of thousands
00:37:39.59\00:37:43.56
have been infected.
00:37:43.59\00:37:46.29
Thousands of
deaths. What will it take?
00:37:46.33\00:37:50.47
God's trying to
get our attention,
00:37:50.50\00:37:52.50
trying to give us encouragement,
00:37:52.53\00:37:54.67
trying to give us hope.
00:37:54.70\00:37:57.31
In some places you realize this,
00:37:57.34\00:37:58.67
in some places of the world
00:37:58.71\00:38:00.34
doctors are making the decision
of who lives and who dies
00:38:00.38\00:38:05.41
because there's
not enough equipment.
00:38:05.45\00:38:07.02
Do you ever think
you'd live in the time
00:38:07.05\00:38:08.38
and even this country
we would run out of things
00:38:08.42\00:38:11.22
that we couldn't
handle, you know,
00:38:11.25\00:38:12.85
we didn't have enough
beds to handle the sick.
00:38:12.89\00:38:16.83
Could it just be?
00:38:16.86\00:38:18.99
In Early Writings, page
41, could it possibly be...
00:38:19.03\00:38:23.06
Now, before I read that,
00:38:23.10\00:38:24.43
I want you to
think Early Writings 41.
00:38:24.47\00:38:26.43
Here's what some
have made and, of course,
00:38:26.47\00:38:28.10
every day this channel
is making this statement,
00:38:28.14\00:38:30.67
this one's making that statement
00:38:30.71\00:38:32.04
but they said here, if
we don't get this under,
00:38:32.07\00:38:34.01
if we don't stop
this in the United States,
00:38:34.04\00:38:36.24
at least half of the population
00:38:36.28\00:38:38.31
will come down with
this infection, the virus.
00:38:38.35\00:38:42.88
And notice this, and as much
as 2 million people can die.
00:38:42.92\00:38:48.06
Well, that may be farfetched,
for some that may be a strain,
00:38:48.09\00:38:50.79
but something has to be
done and certainly we're praying
00:38:50.83\00:38:53.56
that God will
intervene and help.
00:38:53.60\00:38:56.03
But what does God did?
00:38:56.06\00:38:57.40
God has evidently
allowed this to take place.
00:38:57.43\00:38:59.37
Is He trying to
reach His people?
00:38:59.40\00:39:00.80
I just wonder,
Early Writings 41 says,
00:39:00.84\00:39:04.71
"I saw that the powers of
earth are now being shaken."
00:39:04.74\00:39:08.08
What is it? I saw that,
what? The powers of what?
00:39:08.11\00:39:14.02
Of earth are now being shaken,
the events that are in order,
00:39:14.05\00:39:17.72
war and rumors of war, sword,
00:39:17.75\00:39:20.12
famine and
pestilence, notice this,
00:39:20.16\00:39:22.19
are first to shake
the powers of the earth.
00:39:22.22\00:39:26.70
Now notice I picked
some of those straight lines
00:39:26.73\00:39:28.20
out of there, but just notice,
00:39:28.23\00:39:29.56
I saw the powers of
earth are now being what?
00:39:29.60\00:39:31.97
They're being
shaken and it would...
00:39:32.00\00:39:33.84
Notice it, it says
the events come in order.
00:39:33.87\00:39:36.87
God wants things to be order.
00:39:36.91\00:39:38.44
He's a God of order and things
are going to come in order.
00:39:38.47\00:39:40.54
If we're following that order,
00:39:40.58\00:39:41.91
we can know where we're
at in the stream of time.
00:39:41.94\00:39:44.68
War, yes, rumors of war, yes,
sword, that means death, yes,
00:39:44.71\00:39:48.95
famine, yes, pestilence, yes.
00:39:48.98\00:39:51.22
These are first to
shake the powers of the earth.
00:39:51.25\00:39:55.12
My brothers and sisters,
00:39:55.16\00:39:56.56
should we not be shaken
our self to the very point that
00:39:56.59\00:39:59.19
God has pinpointed
these things and asked us
00:39:59.23\00:40:02.36
to step forward right
now to be the men and women
00:40:02.40\00:40:05.07
He wants us to be
in these last hours
00:40:05.10\00:40:06.70
of earth's history.
00:40:06.74\00:40:08.54
I love the Book of Revelation
00:40:08.57\00:40:09.90
and John in the
Book of Revelation
00:40:09.94\00:40:12.37
was shown envision
things that will turn this world
00:40:12.41\00:40:15.71
upside down before he comes.
00:40:15.74\00:40:18.41
This world is going
to be turned upside.
00:40:18.45\00:40:20.05
If you think it's messed up now,
00:40:20.08\00:40:21.68
if you think
we're in trouble now,
00:40:21.72\00:40:23.12
if we're having a difficulty
staying as it were close by,
00:40:23.15\00:40:25.75
we still have
plenty of food as it were,
00:40:25.79\00:40:27.39
we still have shutting at
least in the United States,
00:40:27.42\00:40:29.29
and we have shelter and
we still have, you know,
00:40:29.32\00:40:30.96
all the things,
we still have a car
00:40:30.99\00:40:32.46
that we get out as
we just drive around it.
00:40:32.49\00:40:35.06
We think that's tough.
00:40:35.10\00:40:38.30
We need to be praying
00:40:38.33\00:40:39.67
because there's
more that lies ahead,
00:40:39.70\00:40:41.04
but God's wanting
us to get stronger
00:40:41.07\00:40:43.47
in Him day by day
and living for Him.
00:40:43.51\00:40:46.94
And maybe just having
a relationship with Him
00:40:46.98\00:40:49.78
that maybe we
don't have right now.
00:40:49.81\00:40:52.15
This is important
for being prepared.
00:40:52.18\00:40:53.92
This is importance of not saying
00:40:53.95\00:40:55.58
when these
troubles and these trials
00:40:55.62\00:40:57.12
and these tribulations comes,
I'm going to be raptured away.
00:40:57.15\00:40:59.62
You know that's
a lie of the devil.
00:40:59.65\00:41:02.79
If that be true
right now be a good time
00:41:02.82\00:41:04.36
may be to raptured away
maybe, and it's just beginning.
00:41:04.39\00:41:07.03
What about if it gets worse?
00:41:07.06\00:41:08.40
No, God's people
are going to go through
00:41:08.43\00:41:09.76
the furnace of affliction,
00:41:09.80\00:41:11.80
because there's
impurities that need to be what?
00:41:11.83\00:41:13.97
Taken out.
00:41:14.00\00:41:15.50
And God wants you to
spend eternity with Him.
00:41:15.54\00:41:17.21
He wants me and you to
spend eternity with Him.
00:41:17.24\00:41:19.64
The world will
spend eternity with Him.
00:41:19.67\00:41:21.88
You can make that
decision that choice today,
00:41:21.91\00:41:24.05
but not looking at the things
that we're talking about today,
00:41:24.08\00:41:26.51
it's putting
your head in the sand.
00:41:26.55\00:41:28.55
We need to look around and say,
00:41:28.58\00:41:29.92
my, these things are adding
up, they're coming in, in order.
00:41:29.95\00:41:33.76
Could this be?
00:41:33.79\00:41:35.22
Let me just throw it out there,
00:41:35.26\00:41:36.59
throw it back if you
want to, throw it out.
00:41:36.62\00:41:38.26
Listen, could this possibly be,
00:41:38.29\00:41:40.00
this is the beginning
of the time of trouble.
00:41:40.03\00:41:43.50
Could we be that close?
00:41:43.53\00:41:44.87
And if you really
think of it like that,
00:41:44.90\00:41:46.23
you'll want to
get your life right.
00:41:46.27\00:41:48.00
You want to make
those necessary changes
00:41:48.04\00:41:49.60
by the grace of God to say,
00:41:49.64\00:41:50.97
I need to make this
right because Jesus is coming.
00:41:51.01\00:41:53.98
Could this be?
00:41:54.01\00:41:55.68
The Bible certainly talks
about that time of trouble,
00:41:55.71\00:41:58.01
little time of trouble we
know and the big time of trouble
00:41:58.05\00:42:01.58
because now we are
experiencing as we well know,
00:42:01.62\00:42:04.15
earthquakes in diverse
places, you remember that?
00:42:04.19\00:42:06.52
Oh, absolutely.
00:42:06.55\00:42:07.89
Matthew Chapter
24, the fires and so
00:42:07.92\00:42:09.86
and strange weather condition,
00:42:09.89\00:42:11.96
disasters by
land and sea and air,
00:42:11.99\00:42:14.30
and pestilence and
famine and political strife,
00:42:14.33\00:42:17.93
my, my, climate change,
00:42:17.97\00:42:20.20
going green,
closing down businesses.
00:42:20.24\00:42:23.81
Man, if we look at it right now,
00:42:23.84\00:42:25.17
we're out, New
Jersey's just close things down
00:42:25.21\00:42:27.31
these what they say on Sunday
there 'cause they're go to be
00:42:27.34\00:42:28.91
closing down on Sunday now.
00:42:28.94\00:42:31.51
Places of the world are
all considering closing down
00:42:31.55\00:42:33.78
one day a week for the climate.
00:42:33.82\00:42:35.85
One day a week because
00:42:35.88\00:42:37.22
they're looking
around from over head,
00:42:37.25\00:42:38.59
they're looking down and seeing
00:42:38.62\00:42:39.95
since we're not
all traveling around
00:42:39.99\00:42:41.32
and doing all the
things we're doing
00:42:41.36\00:42:42.69
and businesses are shut
down that the air is cleaner.
00:42:42.72\00:42:44.59
Hmm.
00:42:44.63\00:42:47.33
So now they're
coming to the thought,
00:42:47.36\00:42:48.70
oh, well, but let's listen
if we take one day a week off,
00:42:48.73\00:42:51.40
this is going to help us.
00:42:51.43\00:42:53.70
This is going to
help the world, is it?
00:42:53.74\00:42:57.31
Closing down business,
00:42:57.34\00:42:58.67
large and small
near economic collapse,
00:42:58.71\00:43:04.35
laws passed and more
laws are going to be passed.
00:43:04.38\00:43:07.52
There's no doubt about it
00:43:07.55\00:43:09.58
in this country
and around the world
00:43:09.62\00:43:12.12
to try to take care of
the problems that we have.
00:43:12.15\00:43:14.16
See, they keep thinking
the problems that we have
00:43:14.19\00:43:16.02
that we need to pass another law
00:43:16.06\00:43:17.39
to do that rather
than point everyone to God.
00:43:17.43\00:43:19.53
This is where we
lift up our head,
00:43:19.56\00:43:20.90
our redemption draweth nigh.
00:43:20.93\00:43:23.16
No, no one wants to go
through all these tests
00:43:23.20\00:43:25.00
and all these trials
and all these things,
00:43:25.03\00:43:26.40
but tests and trials
are God's little workmen
00:43:26.43\00:43:29.74
to work inside of us
to get rid of the impurity
00:43:29.77\00:43:31.77
so that heaven can be our home.
00:43:31.81\00:43:33.34
You might say, I
want heaven to be
00:43:33.38\00:43:34.71
my home today, do you?
00:43:34.74\00:43:36.44
Are you willing to make
that decision for Christ?
00:43:36.48\00:43:38.38
Are you willing to
change things in your heart,
00:43:38.41\00:43:40.25
in your life to be what
He wants you to be today?
00:43:40.28\00:43:43.55
That's a
decision, that's a choice
00:43:43.59\00:43:44.95
we're going to
have to be making.
00:43:44.99\00:43:46.49
What do you think?
Really what do you think?
00:43:46.52\00:43:50.03
Have we really arrived
at the beginning of sorrows
00:43:50.06\00:43:53.73
in Matthew 24:8?
00:43:53.76\00:43:56.36
Have we really begun, have we?
00:43:56.40\00:43:58.23
Is this really the
time of the sorrow?
00:43:58.27\00:44:01.17
And should we possibly
consider 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.
00:44:01.20\00:44:06.07
If you'd allow me,
I'm going to read that
00:44:06.11\00:44:07.68
because there's things in
it that we need to consider
00:44:07.71\00:44:09.71
some principle
here before I read that,
00:44:09.74\00:44:11.31
2 Chronicles 7:13-14.
00:44:11.35\00:44:14.25
Are we going to be
willing to walk before God,
00:44:14.28\00:44:18.05
doing all that He
has commanded us to do,
00:44:18.09\00:44:20.82
to observe all of His statues,
and His laws, and His judgment?
00:44:20.86\00:44:25.39
In 2 Chronicles 7:13-14,
let me read it here, it says,
00:44:25.43\00:44:29.70
"If I shut up heaven and
that there be no rain..."
00:44:29.73\00:44:32.97
Is God, can God
shut the heavens?
00:44:33.00\00:44:34.87
Absolutely, He can.
00:44:34.90\00:44:36.64
"If I command the locusts
to devour the land, if I send,"
00:44:36.67\00:44:41.61
notice this, "pestilence"
00:44:41.64\00:44:43.95
that's to me pestilence
is something that destroys.
00:44:43.98\00:44:46.08
Are we not in this time
here this virus is something
00:44:46.11\00:44:50.22
that destroys.
00:44:50.25\00:44:52.59
"If I send
pestilence among my people,"
00:44:52.62\00:44:54.62
verse 14, "If my people,
00:44:54.66\00:44:56.62
you know, which
are called by" what?
00:44:56.66\00:44:58.69
"Are called by my name shall,
00:44:58.73\00:45:00.36
number one, we need to be
humbling our self before God.
00:45:00.40\00:45:04.17
We need to be
praying and seeking His face.
00:45:04.20\00:45:07.64
Turn from the wicked ways.
00:45:07.67\00:45:09.40
Notice what he says then,
then I will hear from heaven,
00:45:09.44\00:45:12.74
I will forgive their
sins and will heal their land.
00:45:12.77\00:45:17.05
These are things
that we're looking for.
00:45:17.08\00:45:18.45
This is what
the world is saying,
00:45:18.48\00:45:19.98
we need some, we
need some answers.
00:45:20.02\00:45:21.78
We need some real answers,
00:45:21.82\00:45:24.19
and God is giving
it to us right here.
00:45:24.22\00:45:26.05
He said, "I can shut the heavens
00:45:26.09\00:45:27.42
if I want to that doesn't rain."
00:45:27.46\00:45:28.79
We've seen that in
Scripture, we understand that.
00:45:28.82\00:45:31.06
And if I could send the locusts,
00:45:31.09\00:45:32.43
then they come and
they devour everything,
00:45:32.46\00:45:33.80
yeah, but any
kind of a pestilence
00:45:33.83\00:45:36.50
or something that
destroys among my people.
00:45:36.53\00:45:38.57
All you have to do,
He said, if My people,
00:45:38.60\00:45:41.34
that means the
ones who accept Him
00:45:41.37\00:45:42.70
as the Lord and Savior,
they're called by My name.
00:45:42.74\00:45:45.71
You're saying, I'm a
Christian, I'm Christlike.
00:45:45.74\00:45:48.48
Well, my, let's
not be a lukewarm
00:45:48.51\00:45:49.84
or pathetic individuals
'cause yourself a Christian
00:45:49.88\00:45:52.08
and you're
falling after the enemy.
00:45:52.11\00:45:53.52
Is that okay to say that?
00:45:53.55\00:45:55.35
This is a challenge
that we are at, is shaken by.
00:45:55.38\00:45:57.59
God said, "I'm going to
answer the prayers of My people,
00:45:57.62\00:46:00.26
those who will be obedient
00:46:00.29\00:46:01.79
to what He has said in His Word.
00:46:01.82\00:46:03.26
Those who are willing to what?
00:46:03.29\00:46:04.63
Follow what he
said to be humble,
00:46:04.66\00:46:08.03
if you'll humble yourself.
00:46:08.06\00:46:10.67
So now it says,
here's the healing,
00:46:10.70\00:46:13.23
here's the antidote,
here's what we need right now.
00:46:13.27\00:46:15.37
Oh, we need this shot.
00:46:15.40\00:46:16.91
We need this over
here, we need that over here.
00:46:16.94\00:46:18.87
Well, if we'll
just humble ourselves
00:46:18.91\00:46:20.74
before God and
then we begin to pray.
00:46:20.78\00:46:23.14
If you begin to
seek the face of God,
00:46:23.18\00:46:24.81
how long has that been?
00:46:24.85\00:46:26.85
How long has that been
00:46:26.88\00:46:28.22
since we really
got down on our knees
00:46:28.25\00:46:29.58
and we begin to
seek the face of God?
00:46:29.62\00:46:31.65
The song says
how long has it been.
00:46:31.69\00:46:33.99
You see, how long has it
been since we knelt by our bed
00:46:34.02\00:46:36.32
and pray to the Lord in secret?
00:46:36.36\00:46:37.69
How long has it been
00:46:37.73\00:46:39.06
this we stayed on
our knees, you see,
00:46:39.09\00:46:41.40
until God has heard our prayer?
00:46:41.43\00:46:43.60
Oh, many times we
don't have time to pray,
00:46:43.63\00:46:44.97
we're too busy, we're
too busy running around,
00:46:45.00\00:46:46.74
we're going here,
we're going there.
00:46:46.77\00:46:48.34
We got everything in the mind
where maybe we're in a ministry
00:46:48.37\00:46:51.27
and we're just busy doing.
00:46:51.31\00:46:52.64
We've got to fill the cup.
00:46:52.67\00:46:54.01
You can't give what
you have unless the cup
00:46:54.04\00:46:55.38
is running over.
00:46:55.41\00:46:56.75
God fill our cups up
that was to seek your face,
00:46:56.78\00:46:58.85
help us to pray and then he says
00:46:58.88\00:47:01.32
right here we need
to change our wicked,
00:47:01.35\00:47:03.42
notice, our wicked
ways and then God says,
00:47:03.45\00:47:05.75
I'm going to forgive their sins.
00:47:05.79\00:47:08.59
Isn't what all we've
been talking about here
00:47:08.62\00:47:10.69
and what people will talk about,
00:47:10.73\00:47:12.06
we should be talking
about is the sin issue.
00:47:12.09\00:47:15.20
God said, "I'm going
to forgive your sins."
00:47:15.23\00:47:17.47
And then, notice
this, I will heal the land.
00:47:17.50\00:47:19.83
I'll take away the virus.
I'll take away the diseases.
00:47:19.87\00:47:23.37
I'll take away
these things if you said,
00:47:23.41\00:47:26.57
He said, Matthew
24:5 quickly he says,
00:47:26.61\00:47:29.71
Matthew 24:6, "See
that ye be not troubled,"
00:47:29.74\00:47:33.31
that's just the last part.
00:47:33.35\00:47:34.68
See that you be what?
00:47:34.72\00:47:36.28
See that you be not
troubled during this time.
00:47:36.32\00:47:39.29
But it's hard
not to be troubled,
00:47:39.32\00:47:40.66
and we need to
be exercising faith
00:47:40.69\00:47:42.19
like never before
in the Word of God.
00:47:42.22\00:47:45.69
When you see these
things come to pass,
00:47:45.73\00:47:47.66
lift up your head
00:47:47.70\00:47:49.03
for your
redemption draweth nigh.
00:47:49.06\00:47:51.57
Man, that's good news to me,
00:47:51.60\00:47:53.40
that's so good, I pray
that it's good for you,
00:47:53.44\00:47:55.20
lift up your head,
don't be downtrodden,
00:47:55.24\00:47:57.71
don't be looking down,
00:47:57.74\00:48:00.18
but lift up your head to realize
00:48:00.21\00:48:01.71
these are signs of the time.
00:48:01.74\00:48:03.11
Jesus said, "I'm not going to...
00:48:03.14\00:48:04.48
These things
not going to happen,
00:48:04.51\00:48:05.85
I'm gonna warn you first,
00:48:05.88\00:48:07.22
then I'm gonna
bring them to pass,
00:48:07.25\00:48:08.58
and I'm going to do it in order
00:48:08.62\00:48:09.95
so as you're not confused."
00:48:09.98\00:48:11.49
But we need to
have faith in God.
00:48:11.52\00:48:14.72
Now Bible talks about these,
00:48:14.76\00:48:16.09
he said, I've never
seen the righteous forsaken
00:48:16.12\00:48:18.13
or his seed begging bread.
00:48:18.16\00:48:20.06
He said, your
bread and water is sure.
00:48:20.10\00:48:22.33
All we have to do is claim that.
00:48:22.36\00:48:23.70
We may not have
nothing in your cupboard today,
00:48:23.73\00:48:25.63
but God can fill
that cupboard tomorrow.
00:48:25.67\00:48:28.47
Your faith may be weak today,
but certainly it can be what?
00:48:28.50\00:48:31.37
That it can be expanded
upon as weak faith cometh by,
00:48:31.41\00:48:34.01
hearing and
hearing by the Word of God.
00:48:34.04\00:48:36.58
Spend some time, faith what?
00:48:36.61\00:48:39.28
Whatever God has in mind,
that's what I'm willing to do.
00:48:39.31\00:48:41.55
That's what Jesus did, is
that in result, was it not?
00:48:41.58\00:48:43.95
Not My will but thine be done.
00:48:43.99\00:48:47.22
See that you'd be not trouble.
00:48:47.26\00:48:49.39
Remember,
there's only one remedy
00:48:49.42\00:48:51.36
for God's people
during the time of Israel.
00:48:51.39\00:48:53.83
You remember what that was?
00:48:53.86\00:48:55.40
One remedy for Israel
and there's only one remedy
00:48:55.43\00:48:58.77
for the people of God today.
00:48:58.80\00:49:00.14
You might say, "Well,
00:49:00.17\00:49:01.50
there's a lot of other remedies,
00:49:01.54\00:49:02.87
a lot of other
things going on today."
00:49:02.90\00:49:04.24
We need to open our ears.
00:49:04.27\00:49:05.61
Remember, there's
many false christs
00:49:05.64\00:49:06.98
and many false preachers
and teachers in the world today
00:49:07.01\00:49:09.94
and we have to
distinguish by the Word of God
00:49:09.98\00:49:12.15
which is true
and which is false.
00:49:12.18\00:49:13.85
The devil is
working like never before.
00:49:13.88\00:49:15.78
There is only one
remedy for God's people.
00:49:15.82\00:49:18.15
There was only
one remedy for Israel,
00:49:18.19\00:49:21.82
and that was simply
for them to admit that
00:49:21.86\00:49:24.26
they had made
mistakes, or simply admit that
00:49:24.29\00:49:26.56
they had sinned
00:49:26.59\00:49:27.93
and come short
of the glory of God.
00:49:27.96\00:49:30.10
Simply admit they
turned their back on God.
00:49:30.13\00:49:32.40
Simply admit that
they love the world
00:49:32.43\00:49:34.14
and the things in the
world more than they love God.
00:49:34.17\00:49:37.51
My, if you think
about that today, huh.
00:49:37.54\00:49:39.87
God says, "If you do
that, if you seek My face
00:49:39.91\00:49:42.34
and you admit that
we've done some wrong things,"
00:49:42.38\00:49:44.21
God said, "I'm
going to heal the land."
00:49:44.25\00:49:45.98
And let me just
bring it close to home,
00:49:46.01\00:49:47.42
God said, "I'm
going to heal the church."
00:49:47.45\00:49:49.22
The church needs
to be healed too,
00:49:49.25\00:49:51.09
the land needs
to be healed today.
00:49:51.12\00:49:52.62
The church is God's people.
00:49:52.65\00:49:53.99
We need a healing that
00:49:54.02\00:49:55.36
only Holy Spirit
can bring in our hearts
00:49:55.39\00:49:57.59
and our lives today as
we commit ourselves to Him.
00:49:57.63\00:50:00.46
He's promised to do it,
00:50:00.50\00:50:01.83
we have to admit that
we went the wrong way.
00:50:01.86\00:50:04.33
Instead of trying
to cover it up and say,
00:50:04.37\00:50:05.90
well, and act
like we didn't do it,
00:50:05.93\00:50:08.17
admit that we did
and turn back to God.
00:50:08.20\00:50:10.34
He said, "I'm going to heal.
I want to be healed, don't you?
00:50:10.37\00:50:13.31
I want the power
of the living God
00:50:13.34\00:50:14.78
to be inside my
heart, into my life.
00:50:14.81\00:50:16.51
I want Him here.
00:50:16.54\00:50:17.88
God said, "I'm gonna do
00:50:17.91\00:50:19.25
wonderful things for our people.
00:50:19.28\00:50:21.18
We are fighting a battle
and I mean a battle royale.
00:50:21.22\00:50:25.05
It's a conflict for the soul.
00:50:25.09\00:50:26.96
May give you some quick
passage of scripture here,
00:50:26.99\00:50:29.19
because we're going to see
00:50:29.22\00:50:30.56
in these scriptures their strife
00:50:30.59\00:50:32.19
and that we need to abstain,
00:50:32.23\00:50:33.80
there's a war we're
going to have to fight,
00:50:33.83\00:50:36.00
we're going to have to endure.
00:50:36.03\00:50:37.90
But this is good
news because God said,
00:50:37.93\00:50:39.43
I'll do it for you,
I'll be right there with you.
00:50:39.47\00:50:41.40
If you're My people,
you'll hear My voice.
00:50:41.44\00:50:43.51
1 Corinthians
1:25, the Bible said,
00:50:43.54\00:50:48.44
"Every man that
striveth for the mastery."
00:50:48.48\00:50:50.81
Is there anybody
striving for the mastery?
00:50:50.85\00:50:53.52
Is there anybody
that's striving to make heaven
00:50:53.55\00:50:55.18
their home?
00:50:55.22\00:50:56.55
We're going to be
temperate in all things.
00:50:56.58\00:50:58.02
So my Bible said right
then, we're going to make it,
00:50:58.05\00:51:00.02
we're going to have to strive,
00:51:00.06\00:51:01.66
we're going to have to fight,
just like we fight for things
00:51:01.69\00:51:03.83
that we want in this world.
00:51:03.86\00:51:05.19
I want a new car,
00:51:05.23\00:51:06.56
I'm going to
fight for that new car.
00:51:06.59\00:51:07.93
I want a new home, I
want to fight for that home.
00:51:07.96\00:51:09.36
I'm going to do what
it takes to get that home.
00:51:09.40\00:51:11.17
I'm going to do what
it takes to get that car.
00:51:11.20\00:51:13.70
Strive it says, 1
Peter 2:11, the Bible says,
00:51:13.74\00:51:19.91
"Abstain from fleshly lusts,
which war against the soul."
00:51:19.94\00:51:23.38
Did you get that?
00:51:23.41\00:51:24.75
We're just at
war against the soul.
00:51:24.78\00:51:26.28
So we're talking
about here, striving.
00:51:26.31\00:51:28.48
We're talking
about abstaining from
00:51:28.52\00:51:31.15
and we're talking about a war.
00:51:31.19\00:51:32.75
We are in a
warfare. 2 Timothy 4:7.
00:51:32.79\00:51:37.06
I like it in
Paul and I want this,
00:51:37.09\00:51:38.99
well, I'd love to
have this said about me
00:51:39.03\00:51:40.53
by the grace of God is the end,
00:51:40.56\00:51:41.90
I come to the end of my
life and I fought a good fight.
00:51:41.93\00:51:44.93
My friends, have
you fought a good fight?
00:51:44.97\00:51:46.90
Have you finished the course?
00:51:46.94\00:51:48.64
Some of you haven't
even got into the race yet?
00:51:48.67\00:51:50.71
You haven't put
your running shoes on.
00:51:50.74\00:51:52.44
God's grace, say
pray for it to God,
00:51:52.47\00:51:54.64
give me some running shoes,
00:51:54.68\00:51:56.01
give me some spiritual
shoes, give me a spiritual mind.
00:51:56.04\00:51:59.08
Help me, O Lord,
00:51:59.11\00:52:00.45
at the end of the
time my time is up,
00:52:00.48\00:52:02.45
I say, I fought a good fight.
00:52:02.48\00:52:03.82
By the grace of God,
00:52:03.85\00:52:05.19
you'll fight that
good fight of faith.
00:52:05.22\00:52:06.86
1 Timothy 6:12 says,
00:52:06.89\00:52:09.22
"Fight the good fight of faith."
00:52:09.26\00:52:11.26
1 Timothy 6:12.
00:52:11.29\00:52:12.73
Hebrews 10:32, I'm moving quick
so it's hard to get all those.
00:52:12.76\00:52:16.13
Hebrews 10:32, it says,
00:52:16.16\00:52:19.10
"You endured a great
fight of affliction."
00:52:19.13\00:52:22.90
Notice just the words
quickly please with me,
00:52:22.94\00:52:24.67
the word that right there,
00:52:24.71\00:52:26.04
if we have to
strive for the mastery.
00:52:26.07\00:52:27.74
We have to
abstain if it's going to,
00:52:27.78\00:52:29.28
heaven is going to be our home.
00:52:29.31\00:52:30.65
We've got to fight
the good fight of faith.
00:52:30.68\00:52:32.58
We got to fight, notice this,
00:52:32.61\00:52:34.22
and we have to endure the fight
of affluences of affliction.
00:52:34.25\00:52:39.49
Is that what's
happening in the world today.
00:52:39.52\00:52:41.86
But the Bible is very clear
00:52:41.89\00:52:43.32
in Mark 13:13, he that endureth,
00:52:43.36\00:52:46.09
mark 13:13, "He that
endureth unto the end,"
00:52:46.13\00:52:48.96
what? "The same shall be saved.
00:52:49.00\00:52:53.87
The same shall be saved.
00:52:53.90\00:52:55.24
2 Timothy 3:11, Paul said
what? Persecution I endured.
00:52:55.27\00:52:59.87
Interesting, he didn't
fly out of any place, did he?
00:52:59.91\00:53:02.81
He didn't miss it. He
went right through it.
00:53:02.84\00:53:04.95
We have to endure, so
we're striving for mastery,
00:53:04.98\00:53:07.45
we're abstaining, we're warring,
00:53:07.48\00:53:08.88
we're fighting, we're enduring,
00:53:08.92\00:53:10.82
notice that, and we have
to endure all things, why?
00:53:10.85\00:53:13.52
Because America
is shutting down.
00:53:13.56\00:53:15.46
You're gonna have
to make a decision
00:53:15.49\00:53:17.19
who you're going to be
serving, is it going to be God?
00:53:17.23\00:53:20.03
Is it going to be the
world? And just what if...
00:53:20.06\00:53:24.13
Well, it becomes mandatory
that you take these flu shots.
00:53:24.17\00:53:28.50
And remember and
some of those things
00:53:28.54\00:53:29.87
we'll talk about another time
00:53:29.90\00:53:31.51
that they taking those flu shots
00:53:31.54\00:53:34.78
that you end up getting a paper,
00:53:34.81\00:53:37.81
and if you get that paper
then you'll be able to travel.
00:53:37.85\00:53:41.95
If you don't have that paper
saying you hadn't fire a shot,
00:53:41.98\00:53:45.79
you won't be able to travel.
00:53:45.82\00:53:47.66
Isn't that interesting that
00:53:47.69\00:53:49.02
I would not be
able to buy or sell.
00:53:49.06\00:53:51.86
Could this be some
part of it here that
00:53:51.89\00:53:53.63
we need to open our
hearts and open our minds,
00:53:53.66\00:53:55.60
how quickly that has come about?
00:53:55.63\00:53:59.43
There's a warfare
being raged right now
00:53:59.47\00:54:03.37
in Revelation 12:7, 8 and 9.
00:54:03.41\00:54:06.68
The Bible said here,
just going a couple line.
00:54:06.71\00:54:08.54
"There was war," where?
00:54:08.58\00:54:09.91
"In heaven:
Michael and his angels
00:54:09.94\00:54:12.18
fought the dragon
and his angels fought,
00:54:12.21\00:54:15.52
and they were cast out."
00:54:15.55\00:54:17.55
Think not there, friends,
00:54:17.59\00:54:19.09
this is where the
enemy was cast out too.
00:54:19.12\00:54:21.09
This is where the
battle is taking place.
00:54:21.12\00:54:23.02
This is where
the great controversy
00:54:23.06\00:54:24.66
is taking place right
now between good and evil.
00:54:24.69\00:54:27.93
You need to decide
00:54:27.96\00:54:29.30
what side you're going to be on.
00:54:29.33\00:54:30.67
Are you still
going to be in limbo?
00:54:30.70\00:54:32.03
You're still going to
be riding on the fence?
00:54:32.07\00:54:33.80
Or are you going to make
a decision for Christ today?
00:54:33.84\00:54:35.77
Why not? Why not?
00:54:35.80\00:54:37.77
People are looking, thousands
are turning to Him right now.
00:54:37.81\00:54:40.48
It's backfiring on the enemy.
00:54:40.51\00:54:42.61
He thought he's
going to shut things down,
00:54:42.64\00:54:44.25
but it's brought
people to the thought of,
00:54:44.28\00:54:45.61
oh, wow, maybe this
is the end of the world
00:54:45.65\00:54:48.78
and I really need
to get my life right.
00:54:48.82\00:54:50.55
I need to quit
worrying about the world
00:54:50.59\00:54:51.92
and things in the world.
00:54:51.95\00:54:53.29
I need to be
thinking about heaven.
00:54:53.32\00:54:55.86
Let me ask a quick question.
00:54:55.89\00:54:57.26
Should we be
acquainted with the events
00:54:57.29\00:54:59.89
that are taking
place before Jesus comes?
00:54:59.93\00:55:02.50
Should we be acquainted?
00:55:02.53\00:55:03.87
Absolutely, Great
Controversy, page 594, yes, yes,
00:55:03.90\00:55:07.70
we should be
acquainted with these things.
00:55:07.74\00:55:09.37
Listen to these words.
00:55:09.40\00:55:10.81
"So in the prophecies the
future is opened before us
00:55:10.84\00:55:14.01
as plainly as it was
opened to the disciples
00:55:14.04\00:55:17.11
by the words of Christ.
00:55:17.15\00:55:18.68
"The events connected
with the close of probation."
00:55:18.71\00:55:21.08
Did you get that?
00:55:21.12\00:55:22.45
"The events connected
to the close of probation,
00:55:22.48\00:55:24.19
the work of preparation
for the time of trouble
00:55:24.22\00:55:26.76
are clearly presented.
00:55:26.79\00:55:29.32
But multitudes have
no more understanding
00:55:29.36\00:55:31.73
of these important truths
00:55:31.76\00:55:33.53
than if they had
never been revealed."
00:55:33.56\00:55:36.73
Isn't that sad?
00:55:36.77\00:55:38.23
You can sound alarm
all you want, you know,
00:55:38.27\00:55:40.20
lot of people's
not going to respond.
00:55:40.24\00:55:41.84
We need to be praying
for spiritual discernment.
00:55:41.87\00:55:43.61
We need to be
praying for the power
00:55:43.64\00:55:44.97
of the Holy Spirit to consume
each and every one of us.
00:55:45.01\00:55:47.48
Most people
don't want Bible truth
00:55:47.51\00:55:49.64
it seems anymore,
00:55:49.68\00:55:51.58
because it
interferes with their desires,
00:55:51.61\00:55:54.65
their sinful world loving heart.
00:55:54.68\00:55:56.58
You know what?
00:55:56.62\00:55:57.95
The enemy is going
to give you those things
00:55:57.99\00:55:59.32
if that's what you want.
00:55:59.35\00:56:00.69
God is going to give you
the desire of your heart,
00:56:00.72\00:56:02.06
He says that in Psalms 21:2.
00:56:02.09\00:56:04.19
I encourage you
to be wide awake.
00:56:04.23\00:56:06.33
There's hope,
there's encouragement,
00:56:06.36\00:56:08.46
we need not be so concerned that
00:56:08.50\00:56:10.07
we can't think things through
00:56:10.10\00:56:11.77
and just simply say, my,
00:56:11.80\00:56:13.13
the answer to
all of this dilemma
00:56:13.17\00:56:14.50
is Jesus Christ.
00:56:14.54\00:56:16.24
Invite Him into your
heart and into your life.
00:56:16.27\00:56:18.44
This is your way
out. This is my way out.
00:56:18.47\00:56:21.78
This is the world's way out.
00:56:21.81\00:56:23.71
Invite Him into your heart,
invite Him into your life, why?
00:56:23.75\00:56:26.11
Because He's coming soon.
00:56:26.15\00:56:27.75
I know some of you
making decisions right now
00:56:27.78\00:56:30.52
because you're
worried about your job,
00:56:30.55\00:56:31.89
you're worried
about your family,
00:56:31.92\00:56:33.25
you're worried
about getting affected,
00:56:33.29\00:56:34.62
you're worried about dying,
00:56:34.66\00:56:35.99
but we rest our care upon
Him because He cares for us.
00:56:36.02\00:56:38.59
I want to have
just a short prayer
00:56:38.63\00:56:39.96
for you right now.
00:56:40.00\00:56:41.33
Would you just
pray with me right now.
00:56:41.36\00:56:42.70
I'm going to kneel here
and we'll just pray together,
00:56:42.73\00:56:44.57
Holy Spirit will do
great wonderful things for you
00:56:44.60\00:56:46.67
because the promises
of God, they are sure.
00:56:46.70\00:56:48.64
Let's pray.
00:56:48.67\00:56:50.01
Father in heaven, we thank
You for Your precious Word.
00:56:50.04\00:56:52.04
We thank You for the
promises that You've given us.
00:56:52.07\00:56:54.18
Even though we've looked
at some things and I was like,
00:56:54.21\00:56:56.24
oh, how horrible they
are, but You are greater,
00:56:56.28\00:56:58.88
Your love is greater,
Your promises are greater.
00:56:58.91\00:57:01.18
We need to reach
out and claim You today.
00:57:01.22\00:57:03.02
This is what we
need in the world today
00:57:03.05\00:57:04.75
more than anything else,
00:57:04.79\00:57:06.12
it's Jesus in our
hearts and in our lives.
00:57:06.15\00:57:08.09
Thank You, Lord, for
those who have made a decision,
00:57:08.12\00:57:09.76
we give You praise,
honor and glory in Jesus' name.
00:57:09.79\00:57:12.29
Amen I want to thank
you so very, very much
00:57:12.33\00:57:15.80
for joining 3ABN Worship Hour.
00:57:15.83\00:57:18.10
We pray it's been a blessing.
00:57:18.13\00:57:19.47
We pray that you've made
that decision for Christ,
00:57:19.50\00:57:21.24
and as you made
that decision for Him,
00:57:21.27\00:57:22.64
what do you say?
00:57:22.67\00:57:24.14
Right in to 3ABN, I
gave my life to Jesus Christ.
00:57:24.17\00:57:27.21
I realize He's coming
soon, I want to be ready.
00:57:27.24\00:57:28.94
God bless you and
we'll see you again.
00:57:28.98\00:57:30.78
