Speaker 1 (00:00):
He had to live out being tricked by tricksters that
were his own. So, yeah, when you have relatives that
you know were this way, that way, and the other way,
and you know it's not right. And if you're one
of those and you know that it's you and you
know that you're like that and you know it's not right,
God will correct you. He will correct you. And by
(00:25):
the time you get to the point that you know
that you're wrong, is what my mother used to say,
two left shoes, that you're that wrong, you want to repent.
Look at Psalm fifty one, and you repent with the
knowledge of God that you have because He knew. And
so there's doctrines about don't take your Holy Spirit from me.
(00:47):
There's doctrines doctrines in these times two hundred years ago
and mentioning two hundred years ago. I want us to
understand the way we do church today is church two
hundred years ago. It's not church from a book of acts.
It's not church from the way God did things from
the beginning when he said go into Jerusalem, Juda and
(01:10):
the utmost parts of the earth. Oh No, we tend
to think we know what we're doing, and we don't
even have the mind of God on it, because we're
not reading the word of God on it. However, however,
we have allowed things to be so common that like
(01:30):
like that, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you,
God bless you. And or we even say how are you,
we're not. We're not looking for an answer. And in
the word of God, especially in the Hebrew, she'll all
you know, toy, I don't want to say michaelaam. That's
(01:54):
not the right pronunciation. That's a pronunciation from the habit
of saying in the German way. But after shillong, the
question is how are you? And oh that's good anyway.
(02:16):
I want us to understand that in these times, most
of us know that celebration times when family comes together.
This one's going to argue with that one, This one's
going to argue with that one. That one. Yeah, most
of us can also time it, know just how soon
it's going to happen, and we usually know who's going
to do what, who's going to say what. I'm inviting
(02:40):
you to do something that God has taught us, and
that is rehearse his promises, rehearse his work. You might
not have noticed it. Especially if you don't bother with
the old Covenant and you only look into the New Covenant,
you might not have noticed that the feast times that
God called to get, we're supposed to come together. And
(03:02):
what we rehearse, what we rehearse are the things that
God did. What we rehearse are the promises. Even in
my particular family, in the Homes family, we used to
rehearse the things that God did all year. And for me,
it wasn't because I thought I'd forget. We did, we would.
(03:23):
We found out we forgot. Yeah, we found out we
forgot because God would outdo himself and be so so
absolutely marvelous in what he did. He would outdo what
he did the last thing that he did. And in
our family, though, you if you know us as a
(03:45):
Homes family, you know that we sing. In our family
that started because we just had a song for everything,
every everything God did. You know, one time he was
stopped on the highway on three oh nine and and
we didn't know what to do, and it happened that
(04:09):
someone else was coming by and one of my one
of my children, please remember the story better than I'm
remembering it. However, we were so thankful to God and
what he did because we were in a what's that
expression of the creek without a pow, and God worked
things out. He had someone coming by who just happened
(04:30):
to be coming by. When you look in the word,
you see that there's an instance where someone was coming
by and then someone else was bringing his cows along.
Wasn't the usual time, It just happened to be. No
such thing that it just happened to be. It's a
God appointed thing. That's why I said, I don't believe
(04:51):
in accidents or coincidence. But he was coming at a
time that the person not only needed the sustenance from
the cow, but needed all of what a now she've
heard her a cow person has So remember that and
the times that were in There are times of argument
(05:15):
now times when families come together. Already said, most of
us know that there's going to be an argument, somebody's
going to argue, or even attitude. If it's not an argument,
it's a look. My mother used to tell me that
the books could kill and she wouldn't finish the sentence,
but you get it. And even that, I want you
(05:37):
to know, if you're like that, God might have been
the one to give you some of these habits that
you have, like the two year old, like the two
year old who knows, who knows and knows that you
must know because that's what God ordained in parents. But
(05:58):
most of us are busy following tradition. So in the
tradition of our times, we've got the main scene. Remember
Jesus the child that the magi came when he was
a child, almost two years later to the house. Remember that.
Please remember that. And then part of what you want
(06:21):
to remember is that we, in our time and our day,
and our ideology and our church theology and our Churchianity,
we make it so that you have to be so grown,
so grown to know and understand the things of God. Well,
(06:44):
I want you to remember that the scriptures say that
it is the Holy Spirit. Jesus said it. It is
the Holy Spirit who will speak to you the things
what soever I told you. And if you like me that,
(07:05):
I want to share you to myself. I don't want
to be telling on myself. But God told me that
this is wrong. So if you hear me telling it,
don't you go do it, because God already gave me
notice that it's wrong. But when I want to forget
someone who did me wrong, because there's people who didn't
do me wrong. Yeah, act like a friend, and then
(07:28):
uh huh, okay. And also there's family that'll do you wrong.
Some of them meant too, and some of them didn't
mean too. Some of them knew what they were doing,
and some of them thought they knew what they were doing.
But don't you know. In Philippians four, it's either verse
six seven or eight where God tells us be anxious
(07:51):
for nothing. Don't be anxious or upset about anything in
these times, not in those times, not in any times.
I want to remind you because of what the rest
of that verse is, how that with but everything with
prayer and supplication make you and thanksgiving. When when you
(08:15):
hear us praying about a problem, a problem being a
problem situation or a problem person, we leave off part
of what God said with thanksgiving, make your request note
with thanksgiving. Uh huh. And I'm always reminding you. In
Psalm one O. Seven it's four different sets of trials.
(08:37):
We preachers like to pull some really wonderful scriptures out
of there, you know, like let the redeemed of the
Lord say so, and everybody is supposed to shout, so
we'll make sure go ahead shout, so shout it so
because you are the redeemed of the Lord. However, what
that scripture says in there count it all joy. But
(09:01):
in that song one on seven he lets you know
part of why you can say so some one on seven,
there's four might be five, four heavy duty trials. And
it's not babes going through those trials, because when you
get to the end of each one of those trials,
it says, and when they cried out, he delivered them. No,
(09:24):
each one of those trials goes way too long, way
too strong. And then I want you to understand some
of them are because your enemies are stronger than you.
If that's the case, I want you to remember one
of the longest chapters, Second Chronicles twenty and I hope
(09:44):
I don't take too long to tell you that when
I thought I was tired, I mean tired from all
the trials and tribulations and mostly the people behind this
the ugh. And I told God I was tired, and
(10:04):
I meant it, I was I was. And God told
me it's not time to be tired, and he had
me look at Psalms twenty now, and I used to
give this a lot. Compart me not Psalms twenty second,
Chronicles twenty the whole chapter. It's a long chapter. However,
(10:26):
what he gave me is twenty twenty vision verse twenty twenty.
Believe his prophets. Believe the Lord your God, and believe
also his prophets, and read the rest of what he says.
What to look at, what to concentrate on. If you're
a problem, I'm not supposed to be looking at you.
It doesn't mean I'm supposed to be ignoring you and
(10:48):
ignoring the fact that you're a problem, if you are
in fact a problem. And I hope you noticed that
I didn't look at you the problem when I said it.
I'm looking to the Lord because he's the one who
will deal with you according to what he has given
(11:11):
you and what he has ordained and placed in you.
And he will deal with me according to what he's
put in me to deal with problem folk. And notice
again that I looked away because I'm not calling you.
I'm not accusing you. The devil's the accuser of the brethren.
I'm not doing anything like what the devil's doing. And
(11:31):
if I am I repent right away. If I catch
myself doing it, I repent right away, because people of excellence,
we always have good intentions. Anyway, to get back to
what it says that in that Philippius, because I don't
want you to miss this, God says, don't be worried
about anything. Don't and with prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving.
(11:54):
There's problems. He's not saying, ignore the problem, recognize the
facts of the problem, or even what you perceive to
be the facts of the problem. Because nowadays, in the
times we're living in, people know so many facts are
just simply are not true, simply are not true. And
right now we're living in times where so many things
(12:16):
that we have been taught as fact, archaeology is turning
up the truth on the matter, and depending on what
department of science or history that effects, there isn't quite
(12:36):
the hurry to say, oh, we've been in error all
this time. There's some things. Anyway. What God says in
the verse after he says, be anxious for nothing, I
think it's verse six. If not, it's verse seven. But
in the verse after he says that, he says, and
the peace of God, the peace of God of a
(13:01):
sign language the peace of God. Here his peace. He
doesn't fail at anything. His piece, his piece will guard
your heart and mind. Oh, oh, pardon me, I'll mixing
up another scripture. His piece that passes understanding. That includes
(13:25):
the understanding, the partial understanding, the misunderstanding, the woeful understanding.
His peace, his piece, it passes all of that. So
whether you have bad intentions, whether you have good intentions,
whether you have evil intentions, his peace will pass all that.
(13:48):
His peace will pass all of that, all of it.
And I want you to understand, understand that when you
want to have the mind of God, Oh, you'll give
it to you, because he promised. If you lack wisdom,
he said, ask, And that's even if you've been wrong
(14:09):
this late my mom said, two lift shoes give me wrong.
It's two live shoes. He'll give you wisdom. What he
says is I won't upbring you. That means I'm not
going to bust you out. I'm not going to scold
you like we normally do our kids when they're wrong
about something. So when they want to know how to
do something and we don't. But I'm looking, I'm going
to take a second to testify about my son. But
(14:30):
I'm looking right at my son, my first born. As
a little child, we will put locks on things, and
to him it was as if, oh, he was supposed
to figure out how to get that undone. And he
would take lots off of things, and he would pull
everything out from under the sink and make a drum set.
Now I'm talking about less than two years old, and
(14:51):
two years old he thought and understood. Remember told you
two years old. Remember Jesus when the magic he was
the child that's used. At about two years old, he
just knew what this was for. Talk about the gates
to keep the child out. He'd do the gate on
(15:12):
the steps. I was afraid about him being on the steps.
I'd taught him how to get up and down the steps.
And what did he do? He wanted to go up
on the roof children. They know your children, and you,
in particular, person of excellence. God has given you to
(15:33):
be a person of excellence. I always talk about the
three d's in a Second Samuel. I think it's chapter
twenty three, or it's verse twenty three of chapter two, anyway,
but the three d's, they were men of excellence. However,
the scripture tells you things that we don't think nowaday
the way we think in philosophy. We don't think that
(15:54):
you can be in debt, discontent, and discourage. That's what
the scripture, that's why I call it the three d's.
When we think of people and excellence, we don't think
they're in debt. Are you in debt? Let me not ask,
because a whole lot of people are in debt right now,
debt on top of debt, and people who debt has
(16:14):
not been part of their lives, and other people who
debt keeps coming hunting you out. I want you to
remember that Ecclesiastes tells you that your money speaks. Your
money's talking to you, your money's talking about you. And
if you don't say what the Word has to say
about you or about your money, then you're going to
have situations that keep coming up to teach you. Uh huh,
(16:40):
did you hear what I said to teach you? In
these times? You want to remember that the Holy Spirit
led Jesus into after the baptism. After his baptism, the
Holy Spirit led g I want to do a sign
(17:01):
language the Holy Spirit. He led Jesus into the wilderness.
Most of us want the Holy Spirit to lead us
into health, holdness and healing. That's what I pray all
the time, health holdness, healing. And Jesus, the Holy Spirit
(17:22):
led him into the wilderness. The Holy Spirit. Do you
hear me? Get catch that part? Does most of us
miss the first introduction of Eloheim introducing rough Eloheim, the
spirit of Elohem. The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness.
(17:43):
And most of us don't even want this. If we
even understood it, we might resist like Moses resisted when
God said I made you non prophet. Most of us
don't even like the scripture where I made you a
god to found. Oh we heard somebody saying that they're
(18:04):
the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted.
And we see, we love our prayer and it's the
Lord's prayer. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness
to be tempted of the devil. Now why would he
(18:27):
do that? Oh look at it. See with these pandemic
things and colds and flus and all that stuff that
season going around, we know what inoculation is. What he did.
Inoculated Jesus against because when the things that he was
(18:48):
going to face and face and face again and face again. See,
we want these trials to stop, we want them to
be over, and we forget how. And James is a
James reviewed it said, count it all joy when you
fall into divers temptations. I remember there was about a
ten year period where preachers everywhere were saying, Oh, pray
for patience, because patience works. Tribulation. The thing of it is,
(19:12):
and tribulation hope. And if you keep on going, it says,
and hope makes not ashamed, not ashamed. And Jesus when
he looked on the cross, going to the cross, he
looked at things that were ashamed. Yeah, he was despised
and rejected, counted among criminals, counted among thieves, and yeah
(19:34):
it was a shame. He looked ahead to the glory
that was set before him. At these times, at feast
times and family times, rehearse the word of God, rehearse
the promise of God. Remember what he told you, Remember
what he said to you? And did you hear me?
(19:55):
I'm talking about both things. I'm talking about the very
word of God, and I'm talking about what he spoke
to you. I want to look at something here and
in proverb six, yeah, I wasn't going to go there,
but I'm going to read this one since I interrupted myself.
You know, in Genesis one, Elohem interrupted himself to introduce Elohem,
(20:20):
I interrupted myself. And this is for some of you
in these times. My son, okay, not the stranger, my son,
my son. If thou be surety for a friend, thy friend.
As a matter of fact, it says did surety is
when you're signing, co signing or signing for somebody and
(20:44):
you're only going to do it for your friend. Hmm. Hello.
If thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, thou
someone that you just made a friend, but they're a stranger.
(21:05):
And actually I really want to go look it up
in the Hebrew, but that that me being the theologian
that takes that takes more time than I want to take.
I want you to understand, don't be coasigning right now.
This is Christmas time. A lot of people need money,
a lot of people are in debt. Remember that the
the people of excellence, the three d's. Mhm. Yeah, if
(21:31):
I need to, if you want that scripture, give a
shutout because I'll share exactly where that scripture is. And
they all, they each they became captains in David's army,
and the word of God testifies as that was an
army of excellence. We're the army of God. We are
an army of excellence. Most of us know or know
(21:53):
of the fact that we are a royal priesthood. So
we understand kingship and being in charge and being president
and all that, and we understand very little about priesthood.
If we understood about priesthood, we would have understood that
during the pandemic, it's the priest and the one that
pronounces a thing and recognizes God gives to recognize. Is
(22:17):
it a disease that's going to go on, Is it
something that that's here and stop. Is it just something
that came to pass it came to pass, or is
it something that you need to be separated from everything
and everybody? Some of you, some of you need to
be separated from everything and everybody, some of us, some
(22:42):
of us need to be Sometimes it's because of the
way we live, and sometimes it's because of what we're
living through, and it's not because we're being bad. Joseph
wasn't being bad when he was sent to the prison.
He was wrongly accused, and he was accused because somebody
wanted something bad from him. He's upholding God's word. Job's
(23:10):
three friends, they were his cousins. By the way, if
you do the geniality on them, look up the scripture
to know who Job's friends had an ideology of their
time that bad things don't happen to good people. And
not only did they not recognize that Job was good. Listen,
you look at the first you look at the first
(23:32):
chapter of Joe. God has a witness on Job. We
want God to be our witness. We want God to
be our witness. I'm telling you I want that. I
do want that. But what I want I want I
want God to have a witness in me. God bragged
(23:53):
on Job. Now you want to be You want to
understand that meant going through some heavy duty trials, and
he kept his righteousness and his faithfulness before God. He
didn't go on these wrong philosophies of his day and time.
(24:15):
Now he came up with some wrong philosophy and God
corrected him on it. And I want you to understand.
I want you to understand, I want you to understand.
I want each of us to understand. God corrects us
when we're wrong. However, a lot of what we're wrong
about has something to do with what God gave us
(24:35):
and what is true of us. We need to know
his truth, not philosophical psychological truth. Right now, we're living
in times where we need to really know. A merry
heart does good like a medicine, and we need to
know Old King James English do with means it did,
(24:57):
it doesn't, it'll keep on doing. We need to understand,
like a medicine, God's prescription, what does a mary heart
do for you? Look at something that makes you happy
and makes you smile. You'll find out that it also
makes you breed. You breed God gain them breath. People
(25:20):
of excellence, And I'm talking about even if you're not
in debt, even if there's not something that has you discouraged,
even if there's not things that you're discontented about. If
you're just so contented, then you minister to those you see,
(25:42):
the Scripture tells us to have mercy on people. The
Scripture tells us to extend kindness to those who are
going through well, we're living in times where people are
going through, whether they're sharing it, whether they're not sharing it,
and they're going through ridiculous stuff, just like those four
to five situations in Psalm one O. Seven. But in
(26:06):
the beginning of each one of them, what God says,
like that Philippians, he says, Oh, that's God's heart, Oh
that men would give thanks. I'm not reading it exactly,
but in the beginning of the trial, not moaning and groaning,
(26:31):
not identifying what's wrong. It's not that you don't know
what's wrong. It's not that you you're not ignoring what's wrong.
That's not how to handle things. Oh that maybe I
do want to turn to it. I want you to
read that song doco cosign it. Today is the sixth
(26:57):
day of a month proverb six one and two. Let's
you know, uh huh, don't go co signing, not for
your friend, not for strain. You don't do it, and
it lets you know that you're gonna be snared by
the words of your mouth. This is not the time
and because these are not the times to be co signing.
And oh yeah, people are going through and debt is
(27:17):
happening and piling up, and you're gonna want to do
what you need to do, well, you don't do it
through co signing, because it's gonna bite you. Tell us
you right here, it's gonna bite you or ensnare to
be the theologian has saved the scripture sins. Okay, now
I wonder I want to say exactly what that song
(27:41):
one O seven tells us. And pardon me for taking
the time on screen. Oh, and that oh is not
just happenstance. That's an expression of the heart, the soul,
the person. Give thanks trials, trials in the front of
(28:06):
the trial. M hm. You know, count it all joy
when you fall into divers temptations. And you know why
because the other scripture tells us that what shall separate
us from the love of God, tribulation of peril. None
of that, nothing will separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus. However, here's some one oh seven,
(28:28):
Oh give thanks unto Yahweh. It is capital O, capital R,
capital D. That's Yahweh. The covenant keeper, the covenant gratifier,
the one who knows how to keep covenant when you don't,
The one who knows how to keep covenant when I don't,
the one who knows how to keep covenant when we don't.
(28:49):
Family all give thanks unto Yahweh, for he is good
for his mersty endors forever. And if I don't think
(29:11):
of it him right, let the redeemed of the Lord
say so, so you shall, so, you shall, so, you
shall so. Yeah, uh huh yeah, so whom he hath
redeemed from the hand of the enemy. I'm not going
(29:32):
to read the whole song. I want you to go
read the whole sum. I want you to understand that
sometimes what you're going through is your enemy. We have enemies,
and I'm not just talking about the devil. We have people,
we have legislators, We have enemies and all kinds of genres. Okay, however,
(29:55):
God redeems from the hand of the enemy. Now I'm
gonna skip on down because oh, at the end of
that trial. And that's how you know that you're at
the end of the trial. It's because when they cry out,
he delivered princetem. And let's see verse fifteen. I might
(30:20):
skip one of the trials verse fifteen. Someone was seven fifteen,
Oh that men would praise Yahweh, praise the Lord, Lord
nongcaps Yahweh. Comeing a keeper for his goodness. This is
in front of a heavy duty trial that's gonna go
too long, too hard, too strong. And did I say
(30:42):
it already too long for his goodness and his wonderful
works to the children of men. And God told me
put my name in there. Yeah, you put your name
in there, for he had broken the gates of brass
(31:03):
and cut the bars of iron. Asunder. Fools, because of
their transgression and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. And
I still don't want to read the whole thing. But
fools are those who only believe themselves. And anyway, He
goes on to say in verse nineteen, they cried unto
(31:26):
yaleh in their trouble because it got worse and worse
and worse and longer and longer. These aren't just days.
These are strong folk. These are people of excellence. Hello, Hello, Hello.
He sent his word and healed them and delivered them
(31:56):
from their destructions. See, there's more than is the devil
trying to destroy you. And if you only keep your
eyes on the devil, you're gonna miss what God's trying
to put your attention to. But again, or and again,
when we're wrong, he corrects us. And when we ask
for wisdom, he doesn't fuss us out what were you thinking? Now?
(32:21):
He doesn't do that. He says, he gives us wisdom liberally.
And don't you know, the fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom. Don't you know? The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of understanding. Don't you know
the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
(32:42):
And it's just the beginning. God will fill you in
on the whole thing, what you need to know. I
was texted to somebody yesterday and I was saying, I
need I need to know how, and God let me know.
He gave me to know how, and let me know
that he is to know how. This is, this is
part of that. It's these, each of these situations he
(33:05):
talks about thirty one. I skipped some of them because
there's at least four. Oh that men would please the Lord.
Pardon me, praise it says praise. I said. I looked
and said, please, okay, I need to stop now. I said,
don't push myself over. Praise the Lord for his goodness.
(33:29):
It's not that you ignore the ugly stuff, because ugly
is ugly. God God will call it ugly when it's ugly,
but he doesn't shame, he doesn't blame, he doesn't accuse.
What he does is give you mercy when you're not
paying attention, give you grace when you don't deserve it.
(33:58):
He does that with me often. And his loving kindness, oh,
his loving kindness, And I want you to understand this.
His loving kindness is like this the way we do
little babies. And maybe that's where we get this idea
from that when you cry out, look when the people
who are strong, and men and women of valor cry out,
(34:23):
When people who are strong cry out, that's because that
thing went too strong and too long. And again back
to Second Chronicles, chapter twenty. The scripture lets you know
that their enemies were stronger than they were, Their enemies
were bigger than they were, and they didn't know what
(34:44):
to do. And they said, our eyes are on you,
on you. And this is something that used to puzzle me,
puzzle me, because it's often in the Old Testament scripture
that God says, suit up, if you know the battle
(35:05):
is not yours, but suit up, Like what have I
got to dress up? Like the army? Suit up? God says,
suit up, but he says, the battle is not yours,
not yours, and yeah, and then it's such a long
(35:27):
chapter and of mind when I want to go to it.
Oh good, yeah, okay, but suit up. And then due
to first the singers, the praisers, the worshipers, because most
of us are so busy worshiping God in that fashion
(35:48):
and I am making fun yess I am we are
worshiping God like that, and he does do that. That's
what his loving kindness is about. It is holding us
and petting us the way we do the infant when oh,
it's all right, and it says his loving kindness is
better than life. He comforts us and ministers life to
(36:13):
us with the sweetness of his kindness, not just his
being kind. To give a glass of water, that's the
profit thing. That's the profit blessing. I mean, there's more
than a profit blessing given a person a cup of water.
But when you give a person a cup of water,
(36:34):
you are moving in profit blessing. Pr oph okay profit
pr o p h I T or the seer, I'm
spelling it wrong. I think per o pH e t
I C. I don't know, and I'm a spell prophetic,
and I know that when I do that, it's because
it's all of that. It's doing all of that, moving
into prophetic, moving as a prophet, and most of us
(36:57):
don't even know it. And the royal priesthood that we are.
Part of what God gave in the priesthood is to
move prophetically, to move in the grace of God, or forgiveness,
not remembering the faults, not forgetting the person, so that
(37:23):
you forget the fault that they did. When God says
that he forgot and he puts it in the see
of forgetfulness, what he's telling us is that it's not
a record against you, like this proverb six, when you're
sign yourself to be surety for your friend or for
the stranger, it's a record against you. It's remembered against you.
(37:48):
When God says he forgot, he's not saying, oh no,
it's no longer a record against you. It won't come
up against you. It's white out against you. And part
of how you know that when you look at what
we love is the faith chapter. What is at Hebrews eleven,
(38:13):
God gives some testimony about Abram and the people that
he gives testimony about in there. One of them that
always bobbles my mind is how Sarah called him Lord.
And I'm like, when where what God only brought out
the things that they did that he counted as faith,
that counted for them, that counted toward them, that gave
(38:36):
them favor and glory and all of that with God. However,
when you read the story, you find out leave your
father's house he loved. With his father's house, he left
with a lot. Things might have turned out different for
a lot. They just might have turned out different had
(39:01):
Abram done differently than what God said. And by the way,
people of excellence, when we heard God two things here.
People of excellence, you usually hear God quicker and faster
than the average person. And I have someone now who's
a person of excellence, who's always telling me when I'm
(39:24):
letting him know, the person of excellence, that he is
the man of God. I'm just like, I'm just like
everybody else. Everybody's all that. No, everybody is not. God
didn't anoint everybody like he anointed Moses. He did not
ordain everybody like he ordained Daniel. Daniel one four. He
(39:45):
used to pray this over our kids all the time.
My husband and I that they were skilled. They were.
You look at it, Daniel one four. Pray it over yourself.
They were more than excellent, more than and you can
be anything God ordained for somebody else. You can walk
(40:08):
in that for yourself. Because it's a word. He doesn't
record everything as history in his word. Everything about Daniel
is not recorded. Every single thing about Moses is not record,
just like we know that everything about Jesus isn't recorded.
The scripture lets us know it would fill the books.
The books with the earth couldn't contain the books. The
(40:30):
things that are in God's word are not just for
history's sake. It's for the Word of God's sake. It's
sharper than in two huge sorted It divides asunder soul
in spirit. It's so that the Man of God be
thoroughly furnished. That's one it says. Study to show yourself
a proof. Look up both of those scriptures and understand
what the word of God is for, so that we
(40:53):
know what to rehearse, and we know what the results
are to be, and we know what to keep our
eyes on, not on the problem. I'm sorry, I keep
looking your way. If you are a problem perceived or
ill perceived that I keep pointing to you and I
do move in the prophetic, You're probably a problem a lot,
(41:16):
whether that is correct or incorrect the way it's perceived.
And some people are ordained to be a problem. Yes,
God put Abram's people in place. He said, the time
of the Emirates is not yet full, but as a
(41:38):
time of God full, here come the Hebrews upsetting as
the expression goes the apple cart. So you need to
know before God, you need to praise him for his
wonderful words for the children of men. That I keep
looking that way, that's not accidental, not accidental. Yeah. And
(42:05):
if you can see and there's somebody sitting right where
I'm looking the other way, next to you, near you,
that goes for you too, and me saying it, it
goes for me. Yes. And again remember it's peace. Don't
be anxious about anything or anybody. Don't be anxious, but
(42:28):
let your request be made known unto God with thanksgiving,
and the peace of God will pass understanding. And as
a matter of fact, don't even miss the next verse
after that in Philippians, because he says, think on these things.
If there be any virtue, if there be any praise,
anything of good report. And then I think it's a
(42:51):
list of eight things. Make yourself a list. When people
things are circumstanced, start getting on your nerves, go to
your list. That's how to prepare yourself so that you
don't go into what Hebrews calls an evil heart of unbelief.
I want to remind you that the children of Israel
in Hebrews, God calls it an evil heart of my belief.
(43:12):
I want to remind you that they were rehearsing what
was wrong. They were really out of water. Their animals
were really suffering from dehydration what we would call it today. However,
when you keep stating the problem, you begin to come
(43:34):
with solutions that are not his promise. And I want
you to remember all the promises in Him are yes,
and in Him amen all the promises. And I want
to remind you too that Jesus is the amen to
the Ladisian Church. Thus saith the amen. Jesus is the amen.
(43:59):
So it's not over to He gives the truth to it,
the glory to it. And I'm not talking about in
the by and by, because when he's talking to the
Late Seians, he's talking to them about what's going on
in the here and the map. He is the out man,
and I want us to understand. I want to keep
(44:21):
track of time here that the children of Israel, the
things were as bad as they were looking, just like
that Psalm one O seven. Each of those trials, they
were that bad. And it went on that all and
it got stronger and stronger, just like it's so. And
I keep saying so. In Second Chronicles twenty very long chapter.
(44:47):
And when God told me it's not time to be tired,
what he told me about that, I'm gonna say that,
and hopefully I don't leave it out. If I do,
if I get to the end and level you you
go read it and see what happens at the end
of the chapter. Why God told me it's not time
(45:08):
to be tired. I was already tired. I was already
worn out, tired and didn't know where to get strength from.
And then when you read it the praises, God said,
suit up. Okay, I'm so tired, I can hardly get
my suit well, suit up. And that's not the phraseology
(45:33):
in the scripture. To read it. And then he told
them to get ready if the battle's not yours, and
it's the lords and you don't have to fight why
blah blah blah blah, no suit up. And then the
praisers went out in the front. And I'll put it
in the vernacular of my teenage years, and the scripture
(45:55):
says God jumped them. He jumped he joke. Yeah, see
we you know that scripture that says the eyes of
the Lord run to and fro throughout the earth to
show himself mighty on behalf of whose heart is right
(46:17):
towards him. I used to always hear that quoted, quoted, quoted, quoted, quoted. Well,
the context of it is that the king he fought.
You want to look it up, because I don't want
to say what wrong kings. I was going to say,
he fought Egypt, he fought this, he fought that, and
the Lord took up for him. The Lord caused him
(46:37):
to win the battles. When he looked to the Lord,
he knew that his bows were bigger than him, they
were batter than him, just like in Lot's day when
they when they took Solomon Gamara. You know, Abram took
the servants out of his own house to go fight.
(46:59):
He was already prepared, already prepared for a fight that
he didn't see coming. He might have. Because anyway, what
I want us to understand and what God wants us
to understand, count it all joy when you fall into
(47:21):
diverse temptations. Yeah, when there's tribulation after tribulation, because it works.
Patience and patience, hope and keep reading to the end,
because hope makes not a shame. And God jumped the
(47:46):
praises most of us. One of those I think it's
Psalms seventy three, but it's seventy four or seventy six.
I'm seeing each one of them. It talks about one
starts out, let all let people praise him, when all
the people praise him, and you go through there, and
it talks about how it's going to straighten out the nations.
(48:06):
People praise because the birds sing praise. And I found
out when I went to Heaven that the plants praise
God in the way that they're growing. They praise him,
but people praise. And I want to say, however, because
there's no butt in the Hebrew or b ut. I'm
not talking about backside. There's no b ut in Hebrew
(48:28):
or in Greek. God doesn't say, but he'll say therefore,
because it is, he'll say moreover like, count that and
along this this is coming. When people praise, the nations
get right, the agriculture straightens up. All that's all that
(48:51):
climate change stuff we're worried about. And that doesn't mean
don't do anything about it. That doesn't mean ignore it.
Don't ignore. Praise people, praise us. We are to praise.
That causes the weapons of our warfare, causes us to
(49:14):
even recognize the weapons. Oh I had this, and ah,
oh now the fear of the Lord, of what to
do with it, the how to do now, the knowledge
all of that. It comes when you praise. When we praise,
and then there's your praise, and then there's our praise.
It'll change ideology that's false. We don't have to argue
(49:37):
that thing. We don't have to be an abomination to God.
And so discord among the brethren. Praise him, yes, And
even when it talks about praying for those of us
who like or don't like what's going on on the
political scene in this country or any other country, he
(49:59):
talks about praying for the rulers. And even there as
a place, he says with Thanksgiving, when we're praying for rulers,
we're either praying with anger or we're praying telling God,
because we're telling each other that you better get your
mindset straight. No, none of them, he says with Thanksgiving
(50:21):
and read on, because he says that you live a
quiet and peaceable life. We get up in arms and
there's nothing quite or peaceable about it. Huh, how do
I follow this? Lord? How do I do this? You
don't want to be a leader like Korr was with Moses.
(50:45):
Korr was a leader. He was indeed a leader, and
he was ordained of God a leader. However, he got
so full of himself he came up against Moses, the
young upstart, like who calls you? Who brought you? And
what it caused? People of excellence. When we make errors,
when we make mistakes, they are costly. They're not like
(51:08):
what the average person does. No, no, no, no. We
don't get away with chewing gum in church. I'm just
using that as an expression. We don't get away with
the littlest thing. It's costly. It's costly to us, it's
costly to others, it's costly to Jerusalem to day and
the othermost parts of the year. That's why people praise.
(51:29):
People praise, and I want to remember in these times
it is not time to be tired. Suit up and
praise because God will give you. He'll jump your enemy
just cause of your praise. And then what it does.
It took three days, three days to clean up the spoil,
(51:51):
to collect the word pardon me the reward in his
word He says you have need of patience that after
you other will of God, you may receive the promise
now in these times, Ahmed
He had to live out being tricked by tricksters that
were his own. So, yeah, when you have relatives that
you know were this way, that way, and the other way,
and you know it's not right. And if you're one
of those and you know that it's you and you
know that you're like that and you know it's not right,
God will correct you. He will correct you. And by
(00:25):
the time you get to the point that you know
that you're wrong, is what my mother used to say,
two left shoes, that you're that wrong, you want to repent.
Look at Psalm fifty one, and you repent with the
knowledge of God that you have because He knew. And
so there's doctrines about don't take your Holy Spirit from me.
(00:47):
There's doctrines doctrines in these times two hundred years ago
and mentioning two hundred years ago. I want us to
understand the way we do church today is church two
hundred years ago. It's not church from a book of acts.
It's not church from the way God did things from
the beginning when he said go into Jerusalem, Juda and
(01:10):
the utmost parts of the earth. Oh No, we tend
to think we know what we're doing, and we don't
even have the mind of God on it, because we're
not reading the word of God on it. However, however,
we have allowed things to be so common that like
(01:30):
like that, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you,
God bless you. And or we even say how are you,
we're not. We're not looking for an answer. And in
the word of God, especially in the Hebrew, she'll all
you know, toy, I don't want to say michaelaam. That's
(01:54):
not the right pronunciation. That's a pronunciation from the habit
of saying in the German way. But after shillong, the
question is how are you? And oh that's good anyway.
(02:16):
I want us to understand that in these times, most
of us know that celebration times when family comes together.
This one's going to argue with that one, This one's
going to argue with that one. That one. Yeah, most
of us can also time it, know just how soon
it's going to happen, and we usually know who's going
to do what, who's going to say what. I'm inviting
(02:40):
you to do something that God has taught us, and
that is rehearse his promises, rehearse his work. You might
not have noticed it. Especially if you don't bother with
the old Covenant and you only look into the New Covenant,
you might not have noticed that the feast times that
God called to get, we're supposed to come together. And
(03:02):
what we rehearse, what we rehearse are the things that
God did. What we rehearse are the promises. Even in
my particular family, in the Homes family, we used to
rehearse the things that God did all year. And for me,
it wasn't because I thought I'd forget. We did, we would.
(03:23):
We found out we forgot. Yeah, we found out we
forgot because God would outdo himself and be so so
absolutely marvelous in what he did. He would outdo what
he did the last thing that he did. And in
our family, though, you if you know us as a
(03:45):
Homes family, you know that we sing. In our family
that started because we just had a song for everything,
every everything God did. You know, one time he was
stopped on the highway on three oh nine and and
we didn't know what to do, and it happened that
(04:09):
someone else was coming by and one of my one
of my children, please remember the story better than I'm
remembering it. However, we were so thankful to God and
what he did because we were in a what's that
expression of the creek without a pow, and God worked
things out. He had someone coming by who just happened
(04:30):
to be coming by. When you look in the word,
you see that there's an instance where someone was coming
by and then someone else was bringing his cows along.
Wasn't the usual time, It just happened to be. No
such thing that it just happened to be. It's a
God appointed thing. That's why I said, I don't believe
(04:51):
in accidents or coincidence. But he was coming at a
time that the person not only needed the sustenance from
the cow, but needed all of what a now she've
heard her a cow person has So remember that and
the times that were in There are times of argument
(05:15):
now times when families come together. Already said, most of
us know that there's going to be an argument, somebody's
going to argue, or even attitude. If it's not an argument,
it's a look. My mother used to tell me that
the books could kill and she wouldn't finish the sentence,
but you get it. And even that, I want you
(05:37):
to know, if you're like that, God might have been
the one to give you some of these habits that
you have, like the two year old, like the two
year old who knows, who knows and knows that you
must know because that's what God ordained in parents. But
(05:58):
most of us are busy following tradition. So in the
tradition of our times, we've got the main scene. Remember
Jesus the child that the magi came when he was
a child, almost two years later to the house. Remember that.
Please remember that. And then part of what you want
(06:21):
to remember is that we, in our time and our day,
and our ideology and our church theology and our Churchianity,
we make it so that you have to be so grown,
so grown to know and understand the things of God. Well,
(06:44):
I want you to remember that the scriptures say that
it is the Holy Spirit. Jesus said it. It is
the Holy Spirit who will speak to you the things
what soever I told you. And if you like me that,
(07:05):
I want to share you to myself. I don't want
to be telling on myself. But God told me that
this is wrong. So if you hear me telling it,
don't you go do it, because God already gave me
notice that it's wrong. But when I want to forget
someone who did me wrong, because there's people who didn't
do me wrong. Yeah, act like a friend, and then
(07:28):
uh huh, okay. And also there's family that'll do you wrong.
Some of them meant too, and some of them didn't
mean too. Some of them knew what they were doing,
and some of them thought they knew what they were doing.
But don't you know. In Philippians four, it's either verse
six seven or eight where God tells us be anxious
(07:51):
for nothing. Don't be anxious or upset about anything in
these times, not in those times, not in any times.
I want to remind you because of what the rest
of that verse is, how that with but everything with
prayer and supplication make you and thanksgiving. When when you
(08:15):
hear us praying about a problem, a problem being a
problem situation or a problem person, we leave off part
of what God said with thanksgiving, make your request note
with thanksgiving. Uh huh. And I'm always reminding you. In
Psalm one O. Seven it's four different sets of trials.
(08:37):
We preachers like to pull some really wonderful scriptures out
of there, you know, like let the redeemed of the
Lord say so, and everybody is supposed to shout, so
we'll make sure go ahead shout, so shout it so
because you are the redeemed of the Lord. However, what
that scripture says in there count it all joy. But
(09:01):
in that song one on seven he lets you know
part of why you can say so some one on seven,
there's four might be five, four heavy duty trials. And
it's not babes going through those trials, because when you
get to the end of each one of those trials,
it says, and when they cried out, he delivered them. No,
(09:24):
each one of those trials goes way too long, way
too strong. And then I want you to understand some
of them are because your enemies are stronger than you.
If that's the case, I want you to remember one
of the longest chapters, Second Chronicles twenty and I hope
(09:44):
I don't take too long to tell you that when
I thought I was tired, I mean tired from all
the trials and tribulations and mostly the people behind this
the ugh. And I told God I was tired, and
(10:04):
I meant it, I was I was. And God told
me it's not time to be tired, and he had
me look at Psalms twenty now, and I used to
give this a lot. Compart me not Psalms twenty second,
Chronicles twenty the whole chapter. It's a long chapter. However,
(10:26):
what he gave me is twenty twenty vision verse twenty twenty.
Believe his prophets. Believe the Lord your God, and believe
also his prophets, and read the rest of what he says.
What to look at, what to concentrate on. If you're
a problem, I'm not supposed to be looking at you.
It doesn't mean I'm supposed to be ignoring you and
(10:48):
ignoring the fact that you're a problem, if you are
in fact a problem. And I hope you noticed that
I didn't look at you the problem when I said it.
I'm looking to the Lord because he's the one who
will deal with you according to what he has given
(11:11):
you and what he has ordained and placed in you.
And he will deal with me according to what he's
put in me to deal with problem folk. And notice
again that I looked away because I'm not calling you.
I'm not accusing you. The devil's the accuser of the brethren.
I'm not doing anything like what the devil's doing. And
(11:31):
if I am I repent right away. If I catch
myself doing it, I repent right away, because people of excellence,
we always have good intentions. Anyway, to get back to
what it says that in that Philippius, because I don't
want you to miss this, God says, don't be worried
about anything. Don't and with prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving.
(11:54):
There's problems. He's not saying, ignore the problem, recognize the
facts of the problem, or even what you perceive to
be the facts of the problem. Because nowadays, in the
times we're living in, people know so many facts are
just simply are not true, simply are not true. And
right now we're living in times where so many things
(12:16):
that we have been taught as fact, archaeology is turning
up the truth on the matter, and depending on what
department of science or history that effects, there isn't quite
(12:36):
the hurry to say, oh, we've been in error all
this time. There's some things. Anyway. What God says in
the verse after he says, be anxious for nothing, I
think it's verse six. If not, it's verse seven. But
in the verse after he says that, he says, and
the peace of God, the peace of God of a
(13:01):
sign language the peace of God. Here his peace. He
doesn't fail at anything. His piece, his piece will guard
your heart and mind. Oh, oh, pardon me, I'll mixing
up another scripture. His piece that passes understanding. That includes
(13:25):
the understanding, the partial understanding, the misunderstanding, the woeful understanding.
His peace, his piece, it passes all of that. So
whether you have bad intentions, whether you have good intentions,
whether you have evil intentions, his peace will pass all that.
(13:48):
His peace will pass all of that, all of it.
And I want you to understand, understand that when you
want to have the mind of God, Oh, you'll give
it to you, because he promised. If you lack wisdom,
he said, ask, And that's even if you've been wrong
(14:09):
this late my mom said, two lift shoes give me wrong.
It's two live shoes. He'll give you wisdom. What he
says is I won't upbring you. That means I'm not
going to bust you out. I'm not going to scold
you like we normally do our kids when they're wrong
about something. So when they want to know how to
do something and we don't. But I'm looking, I'm going
to take a second to testify about my son. But
(14:30):
I'm looking right at my son, my first born. As
a little child, we will put locks on things, and
to him it was as if, oh, he was supposed
to figure out how to get that undone. And he
would take lots off of things, and he would pull
everything out from under the sink and make a drum set.
Now I'm talking about less than two years old, and
(14:51):
two years old he thought and understood. Remember told you
two years old. Remember Jesus when the magic he was
the child that's used. At about two years old, he
just knew what this was for. Talk about the gates
to keep the child out. He'd do the gate on
(15:12):
the steps. I was afraid about him being on the steps.
I'd taught him how to get up and down the steps.
And what did he do? He wanted to go up
on the roof children. They know your children, and you,
in particular, person of excellence. God has given you to
(15:33):
be a person of excellence. I always talk about the
three d's in a Second Samuel. I think it's chapter
twenty three, or it's verse twenty three of chapter two, anyway,
but the three d's, they were men of excellence. However,
the scripture tells you things that we don't think nowaday
the way we think in philosophy. We don't think that
(15:54):
you can be in debt, discontent, and discourage. That's what
the scripture, that's why I call it the three d's.
When we think of people and excellence, we don't think
they're in debt. Are you in debt? Let me not ask,
because a whole lot of people are in debt right now,
debt on top of debt, and people who debt has
(16:14):
not been part of their lives, and other people who
debt keeps coming hunting you out. I want you to
remember that Ecclesiastes tells you that your money speaks. Your
money's talking to you, your money's talking about you. And
if you don't say what the Word has to say
about you or about your money, then you're going to
have situations that keep coming up to teach you. Uh huh,
(16:40):
did you hear what I said to teach you? In
these times? You want to remember that the Holy Spirit
led Jesus into after the baptism. After his baptism, the
Holy Spirit led g I want to do a sign
(17:01):
language the Holy Spirit. He led Jesus into the wilderness.
Most of us want the Holy Spirit to lead us
into health, holdness and healing. That's what I pray all
the time, health holdness, healing. And Jesus, the Holy Spirit
(17:22):
led him into the wilderness. The Holy Spirit. Do you
hear me? Get catch that part? Does most of us
miss the first introduction of Eloheim introducing rough Eloheim, the
spirit of Elohem. The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness.
(17:43):
And most of us don't even want this. If we
even understood it, we might resist like Moses resisted when
God said I made you non prophet. Most of us
don't even like the scripture where I made you a
god to found. Oh we heard somebody saying that they're
(18:04):
the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted.
And we see, we love our prayer and it's the
Lord's prayer. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness
to be tempted of the devil. Now why would he
(18:27):
do that? Oh look at it. See with these pandemic
things and colds and flus and all that stuff that
season going around, we know what inoculation is. What he did.
Inoculated Jesus against because when the things that he was
(18:48):
going to face and face and face again and face again. See,
we want these trials to stop, we want them to
be over, and we forget how. And James is a
James reviewed it said, count it all joy when you
fall into divers temptations. I remember there was about a
ten year period where preachers everywhere were saying, Oh, pray
for patience, because patience works. Tribulation. The thing of it is,
(19:12):
and tribulation hope. And if you keep on going, it says,
and hope makes not ashamed, not ashamed. And Jesus when
he looked on the cross, going to the cross, he
looked at things that were ashamed. Yeah, he was despised
and rejected, counted among criminals, counted among thieves, and yeah
(19:34):
it was a shame. He looked ahead to the glory
that was set before him. At these times, at feast
times and family times, rehearse the word of God, rehearse
the promise of God. Remember what he told you, Remember
what he said to you? And did you hear me?
(19:55):
I'm talking about both things. I'm talking about the very
word of God, and I'm talking about what he spoke
to you. I want to look at something here and
in proverb six, yeah, I wasn't going to go there,
but I'm going to read this one since I interrupted myself.
You know, in Genesis one, Elohem interrupted himself to introduce Elohem,
(20:20):
I interrupted myself. And this is for some of you
in these times. My son, okay, not the stranger, my son,
my son. If thou be surety for a friend, thy friend.
As a matter of fact, it says did surety is
when you're signing, co signing or signing for somebody and
(20:44):
you're only going to do it for your friend. Hmm. Hello.
If thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, thou
someone that you just made a friend, but they're a stranger.
(21:05):
And actually I really want to go look it up
in the Hebrew, but that that me being the theologian
that takes that takes more time than I want to take.
I want you to understand, don't be coasigning right now.
This is Christmas time. A lot of people need money,
a lot of people are in debt. Remember that the
the people of excellence, the three d's. Mhm. Yeah, if
(21:31):
I need to, if you want that scripture, give a
shutout because I'll share exactly where that scripture is. And
they all, they each they became captains in David's army,
and the word of God testifies as that was an
army of excellence. We're the army of God. We are
an army of excellence. Most of us know or know
(21:53):
of the fact that we are a royal priesthood. So
we understand kingship and being in charge and being president
and all that, and we understand very little about priesthood.
If we understood about priesthood, we would have understood that
during the pandemic, it's the priest and the one that
pronounces a thing and recognizes God gives to recognize. Is
(22:17):
it a disease that's going to go on, Is it
something that that's here and stop. Is it just something
that came to pass it came to pass, or is
it something that you need to be separated from everything
and everybody? Some of you, some of you need to
be separated from everything and everybody, some of us, some
(22:42):
of us need to be Sometimes it's because of the
way we live, and sometimes it's because of what we're
living through, and it's not because we're being bad. Joseph
wasn't being bad when he was sent to the prison.
He was wrongly accused, and he was accused because somebody
wanted something bad from him. He's upholding God's word. Job's
(23:10):
three friends, they were his cousins. By the way, if
you do the geniality on them, look up the scripture
to know who Job's friends had an ideology of their
time that bad things don't happen to good people. And
not only did they not recognize that Job was good. Listen,
you look at the first you look at the first
(23:32):
chapter of Joe. God has a witness on Job. We
want God to be our witness. We want God to
be our witness. I'm telling you I want that. I
do want that. But what I want I want I
want God to have a witness in me. God bragged
(23:53):
on Job. Now you want to be You want to
understand that meant going through some heavy duty trials, and
he kept his righteousness and his faithfulness before God. He
didn't go on these wrong philosophies of his day and time.
(24:15):
Now he came up with some wrong philosophy and God
corrected him on it. And I want you to understand.
I want you to understand, I want you to understand.
I want each of us to understand. God corrects us
when we're wrong. However, a lot of what we're wrong
about has something to do with what God gave us
(24:35):
and what is true of us. We need to know
his truth, not philosophical psychological truth. Right now, we're living
in times where we need to really know. A merry
heart does good like a medicine, and we need to
know Old King James English do with means it did,
(24:57):
it doesn't, it'll keep on doing. We need to understand,
like a medicine, God's prescription, what does a mary heart
do for you? Look at something that makes you happy
and makes you smile. You'll find out that it also
makes you breed. You breed God gain them breath. People
(25:20):
of excellence, And I'm talking about even if you're not
in debt, even if there's not something that has you discouraged,
even if there's not things that you're discontented about. If
you're just so contented, then you minister to those you see,
(25:42):
the Scripture tells us to have mercy on people. The
Scripture tells us to extend kindness to those who are
going through well, we're living in times where people are
going through, whether they're sharing it, whether they're not sharing it,
and they're going through ridiculous stuff, just like those four
to five situations in Psalm one O. Seven. But in
(26:06):
the beginning of each one of them, what God says,
like that Philippians, he says, Oh, that's God's heart, Oh
that men would give thanks. I'm not reading it exactly,
but in the beginning of the trial, not moaning and groaning,
(26:31):
not identifying what's wrong. It's not that you don't know
what's wrong. It's not that you you're not ignoring what's wrong.
That's not how to handle things. Oh that maybe I
do want to turn to it. I want you to
read that song doco cosign it. Today is the sixth
(26:57):
day of a month proverb six one and two. Let's
you know, uh huh, don't go co signing, not for
your friend, not for strain. You don't do it, and
it lets you know that you're gonna be snared by
the words of your mouth. This is not the time
and because these are not the times to be co signing.
And oh yeah, people are going through and debt is
(27:17):
happening and piling up, and you're gonna want to do
what you need to do, well, you don't do it
through co signing, because it's gonna bite you. Tell us
you right here, it's gonna bite you or ensnare to
be the theologian has saved the scripture sins. Okay, now
I wonder I want to say exactly what that song
(27:41):
one O seven tells us. And pardon me for taking
the time on screen. Oh, and that oh is not
just happenstance. That's an expression of the heart, the soul,
the person. Give thanks trials, trials in the front of
(28:06):
the trial. M hm. You know, count it all joy
when you fall into divers temptations. And you know why
because the other scripture tells us that what shall separate
us from the love of God, tribulation of peril. None
of that, nothing will separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus. However, here's some one oh seven,
(28:28):
Oh give thanks unto Yahweh. It is capital O, capital R,
capital D. That's Yahweh. The covenant keeper, the covenant gratifier,
the one who knows how to keep covenant when you don't,
The one who knows how to keep covenant when I don't,
the one who knows how to keep covenant when we don't.
(28:49):
Family all give thanks unto Yahweh, for he is good
for his mersty endors forever. And if I don't think
(29:11):
of it him right, let the redeemed of the Lord
say so, so you shall, so, you shall, so, you
shall so. Yeah, uh huh yeah, so whom he hath
redeemed from the hand of the enemy. I'm not going
(29:32):
to read the whole song. I want you to go
read the whole sum. I want you to understand that
sometimes what you're going through is your enemy. We have enemies,
and I'm not just talking about the devil. We have people,
we have legislators, We have enemies and all kinds of genres. Okay, however,
(29:55):
God redeems from the hand of the enemy. Now I'm
gonna skip on down because oh, at the end of
that trial. And that's how you know that you're at
the end of the trial. It's because when they cry out,
he delivered princetem. And let's see verse fifteen. I might
(30:20):
skip one of the trials verse fifteen. Someone was seven fifteen,
Oh that men would praise Yahweh, praise the Lord, Lord
nongcaps Yahweh. Comeing a keeper for his goodness. This is
in front of a heavy duty trial that's gonna go
too long, too hard, too strong. And did I say
(30:42):
it already too long for his goodness and his wonderful
works to the children of men. And God told me
put my name in there. Yeah, you put your name
in there, for he had broken the gates of brass
(31:03):
and cut the bars of iron. Asunder. Fools, because of
their transgression and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. And
I still don't want to read the whole thing. But
fools are those who only believe themselves. And anyway, He
goes on to say in verse nineteen, they cried unto
(31:26):
yaleh in their trouble because it got worse and worse
and worse and longer and longer. These aren't just days.
These are strong folk. These are people of excellence. Hello, Hello, Hello.
He sent his word and healed them and delivered them
(31:56):
from their destructions. See, there's more than is the devil
trying to destroy you. And if you only keep your
eyes on the devil, you're gonna miss what God's trying
to put your attention to. But again, or and again,
when we're wrong, he corrects us. And when we ask
for wisdom, he doesn't fuss us out what were you thinking? Now?
(32:21):
He doesn't do that. He says, he gives us wisdom liberally.
And don't you know, the fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom. Don't you know? The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of understanding. Don't you know
the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
(32:42):
And it's just the beginning. God will fill you in
on the whole thing, what you need to know. I
was texted to somebody yesterday and I was saying, I
need I need to know how, and God let me know.
He gave me to know how, and let me know
that he is to know how. This is, this is
part of that. It's these, each of these situations he
(33:05):
talks about thirty one. I skipped some of them because
there's at least four. Oh that men would please the Lord.
Pardon me, praise it says praise. I said. I looked
and said, please, okay, I need to stop now. I said,
don't push myself over. Praise the Lord for his goodness.
(33:29):
It's not that you ignore the ugly stuff, because ugly
is ugly. God God will call it ugly when it's ugly,
but he doesn't shame, he doesn't blame, he doesn't accuse.
What he does is give you mercy when you're not
paying attention, give you grace when you don't deserve it.
(33:58):
He does that with me often. And his loving kindness, oh,
his loving kindness, And I want you to understand this.
His loving kindness is like this the way we do
little babies. And maybe that's where we get this idea
from that when you cry out, look when the people
who are strong, and men and women of valor cry out,
(34:23):
When people who are strong cry out, that's because that
thing went too strong and too long. And again back
to Second Chronicles, chapter twenty. The scripture lets you know
that their enemies were stronger than they were, Their enemies
were bigger than they were, and they didn't know what
(34:44):
to do. And they said, our eyes are on you,
on you. And this is something that used to puzzle me,
puzzle me, because it's often in the Old Testament scripture
that God says, suit up, if you know the battle
(35:05):
is not yours, but suit up, Like what have I
got to dress up? Like the army? Suit up? God says,
suit up, but he says, the battle is not yours,
not yours, and yeah, and then it's such a long
(35:27):
chapter and of mind when I want to go to it.
Oh good, yeah, okay, but suit up. And then due
to first the singers, the praisers, the worshipers, because most
of us are so busy worshiping God in that fashion
(35:48):
and I am making fun yess I am we are
worshiping God like that, and he does do that. That's
what his loving kindness is about. It is holding us
and petting us the way we do the infant when oh,
it's all right, and it says his loving kindness is
better than life. He comforts us and ministers life to
(36:13):
us with the sweetness of his kindness, not just his
being kind. To give a glass of water, that's the
profit thing. That's the profit blessing. I mean, there's more
than a profit blessing given a person a cup of water.
But when you give a person a cup of water,
(36:34):
you are moving in profit blessing. Pr oph okay profit
pr o p h I T or the seer, I'm
spelling it wrong. I think per o pH e t
I C. I don't know, and I'm a spell prophetic,
and I know that when I do that, it's because
it's all of that. It's doing all of that, moving
into prophetic, moving as a prophet, and most of us
(36:57):
don't even know it. And the royal priesthood that we are.
Part of what God gave in the priesthood is to
move prophetically, to move in the grace of God, or forgiveness,
not remembering the faults, not forgetting the person, so that
(37:23):
you forget the fault that they did. When God says
that he forgot and he puts it in the see
of forgetfulness, what he's telling us is that it's not
a record against you, like this proverb six, when you're
sign yourself to be surety for your friend or for
the stranger, it's a record against you. It's remembered against you.
(37:48):
When God says he forgot, he's not saying, oh no,
it's no longer a record against you. It won't come
up against you. It's white out against you. And part
of how you know that when you look at what
we love is the faith chapter. What is at Hebrews eleven,
(38:13):
God gives some testimony about Abram and the people that
he gives testimony about in there. One of them that
always bobbles my mind is how Sarah called him Lord.
And I'm like, when where what God only brought out
the things that they did that he counted as faith,
that counted for them, that counted toward them, that gave
(38:36):
them favor and glory and all of that with God. However,
when you read the story, you find out leave your
father's house he loved. With his father's house, he left
with a lot. Things might have turned out different for
a lot. They just might have turned out different had
(39:01):
Abram done differently than what God said. And by the way,
people of excellence, when we heard God two things here.
People of excellence, you usually hear God quicker and faster
than the average person. And I have someone now who's
a person of excellence, who's always telling me when I'm
(39:24):
letting him know, the person of excellence, that he is
the man of God. I'm just like, I'm just like
everybody else. Everybody's all that. No, everybody is not. God
didn't anoint everybody like he anointed Moses. He did not
ordain everybody like he ordained Daniel. Daniel one four. He
(39:45):
used to pray this over our kids all the time.
My husband and I that they were skilled. They were.
You look at it, Daniel one four. Pray it over yourself.
They were more than excellent, more than and you can
be anything God ordained for somebody else. You can walk
(40:08):
in that for yourself. Because it's a word. He doesn't
record everything as history in his word. Everything about Daniel
is not recorded. Every single thing about Moses is not record,
just like we know that everything about Jesus isn't recorded.
The scripture lets us know it would fill the books.
The books with the earth couldn't contain the books. The
(40:30):
things that are in God's word are not just for
history's sake. It's for the Word of God's sake. It's
sharper than in two huge sorted It divides asunder soul
in spirit. It's so that the Man of God be
thoroughly furnished. That's one it says. Study to show yourself
a proof. Look up both of those scriptures and understand
what the word of God is for, so that we
(40:53):
know what to rehearse, and we know what the results
are to be, and we know what to keep our
eyes on, not on the problem. I'm sorry, I keep
looking your way. If you are a problem perceived or
ill perceived that I keep pointing to you and I
do move in the prophetic, You're probably a problem a lot,
(41:16):
whether that is correct or incorrect the way it's perceived.
And some people are ordained to be a problem. Yes,
God put Abram's people in place. He said, the time
of the Emirates is not yet full, but as a
(41:38):
time of God full, here come the Hebrews upsetting as
the expression goes the apple cart. So you need to
know before God, you need to praise him for his
wonderful words for the children of men. That I keep
looking that way, that's not accidental, not accidental. Yeah. And
(42:05):
if you can see and there's somebody sitting right where
I'm looking the other way, next to you, near you,
that goes for you too, and me saying it, it
goes for me. Yes. And again remember it's peace. Don't
be anxious about anything or anybody. Don't be anxious, but
(42:28):
let your request be made known unto God with thanksgiving,
and the peace of God will pass understanding. And as
a matter of fact, don't even miss the next verse
after that in Philippians, because he says, think on these things.
If there be any virtue, if there be any praise,
anything of good report. And then I think it's a
(42:51):
list of eight things. Make yourself a list. When people
things are circumstanced, start getting on your nerves, go to
your list. That's how to prepare yourself so that you
don't go into what Hebrews calls an evil heart of unbelief.
I want to remind you that the children of Israel
in Hebrews, God calls it an evil heart of my belief.
(43:12):
I want to remind you that they were rehearsing what
was wrong. They were really out of water. Their animals
were really suffering from dehydration what we would call it today. However,
when you keep stating the problem, you begin to come
(43:34):
with solutions that are not his promise. And I want
you to remember all the promises in Him are yes,
and in Him amen all the promises. And I want
to remind you too that Jesus is the amen to
the Ladisian Church. Thus saith the amen. Jesus is the amen.
(43:59):
So it's not over to He gives the truth to it,
the glory to it. And I'm not talking about in
the by and by, because when he's talking to the
Late Seians, he's talking to them about what's going on
in the here and the map. He is the out man,
and I want us to understand. I want to keep
(44:21):
track of time here that the children of Israel, the
things were as bad as they were looking, just like
that Psalm one O seven. Each of those trials, they
were that bad. And it went on that all and
it got stronger and stronger, just like it's so. And
I keep saying so. In Second Chronicles twenty very long chapter.
(44:47):
And when God told me it's not time to be tired,
what he told me about that, I'm gonna say that,
and hopefully I don't leave it out. If I do,
if I get to the end and level you you
go read it and see what happens at the end
of the chapter. Why God told me it's not time
(45:08):
to be tired. I was already tired. I was already
worn out, tired and didn't know where to get strength from.
And then when you read it the praises, God said,
suit up. Okay, I'm so tired, I can hardly get
my suit well, suit up. And that's not the phraseology
(45:33):
in the scripture. To read it. And then he told
them to get ready if the battle's not yours, and
it's the lords and you don't have to fight why
blah blah blah blah, no suit up. And then the
praisers went out in the front. And I'll put it
in the vernacular of my teenage years, and the scripture
(45:55):
says God jumped them. He jumped he joke. Yeah, see
we you know that scripture that says the eyes of
the Lord run to and fro throughout the earth to
show himself mighty on behalf of whose heart is right
(46:17):
towards him. I used to always hear that quoted, quoted, quoted, quoted, quoted. Well,
the context of it is that the king he fought.
You want to look it up, because I don't want
to say what wrong kings. I was going to say,
he fought Egypt, he fought this, he fought that, and
the Lord took up for him. The Lord caused him
(46:37):
to win the battles. When he looked to the Lord,
he knew that his bows were bigger than him, they
were batter than him, just like in Lot's day when
they when they took Solomon Gamara. You know, Abram took
the servants out of his own house to go fight.
(46:59):
He was already prepared, already prepared for a fight that
he didn't see coming. He might have. Because anyway, what
I want us to understand and what God wants us
to understand, count it all joy when you fall into
(47:21):
diverse temptations. Yeah, when there's tribulation after tribulation, because it works.
Patience and patience, hope and keep reading to the end,
because hope makes not a shame. And God jumped the
(47:46):
praises most of us. One of those I think it's
Psalms seventy three, but it's seventy four or seventy six.
I'm seeing each one of them. It talks about one
starts out, let all let people praise him, when all
the people praise him, and you go through there, and
it talks about how it's going to straighten out the nations.
(48:06):
People praise because the birds sing praise. And I found
out when I went to Heaven that the plants praise
God in the way that they're growing. They praise him,
but people praise. And I want to say, however, because
there's no butt in the Hebrew or b ut. I'm
not talking about backside. There's no b ut in Hebrew
(48:28):
or in Greek. God doesn't say, but he'll say therefore,
because it is, he'll say moreover like, count that and
along this this is coming. When people praise, the nations
get right, the agriculture straightens up. All that's all that
(48:51):
climate change stuff we're worried about. And that doesn't mean
don't do anything about it. That doesn't mean ignore it.
Don't ignore. Praise people, praise us. We are to praise.
That causes the weapons of our warfare, causes us to
(49:14):
even recognize the weapons. Oh I had this, and ah,
oh now the fear of the Lord, of what to
do with it, the how to do now, the knowledge
all of that. It comes when you praise. When we praise,
and then there's your praise, and then there's our praise.
It'll change ideology that's false. We don't have to argue
(49:37):
that thing. We don't have to be an abomination to God.
And so discord among the brethren. Praise him, yes, And
even when it talks about praying for those of us
who like or don't like what's going on on the
political scene in this country or any other country, he
(49:59):
talks about praying for the rulers. And even there as
a place, he says with Thanksgiving, when we're praying for rulers,
we're either praying with anger or we're praying telling God,
because we're telling each other that you better get your
mindset straight. No, none of them, he says with Thanksgiving
(50:21):
and read on, because he says that you live a
quiet and peaceable life. We get up in arms and
there's nothing quite or peaceable about it. Huh, how do
I follow this? Lord? How do I do this? You
don't want to be a leader like Korr was with Moses.
(50:45):
Korr was a leader. He was indeed a leader, and
he was ordained of God a leader. However, he got
so full of himself he came up against Moses, the
young upstart, like who calls you? Who brought you? And
what it caused? People of excellence. When we make errors,
when we make mistakes, they are costly. They're not like
(51:08):
what the average person does. No, no, no, no. We
don't get away with chewing gum in church. I'm just
using that as an expression. We don't get away with
the littlest thing. It's costly. It's costly to us, it's
costly to others, it's costly to Jerusalem to day and
the othermost parts of the year. That's why people praise.
(51:29):
People praise, and I want to remember in these times
it is not time to be tired. Suit up and
praise because God will give you. He'll jump your enemy
just cause of your praise. And then what it does.
It took three days, three days to clean up the spoil,
(51:51):
to collect the word pardon me the reward in his
word He says you have need of patience that after
you other will of God, you may receive the promise
now in these times, Ahmed
