Speaker 1 (00:10):
For the next few minutes, I want us to meditate
on God's word together. I'm going to read to you
several psalms and prophecies of victory and peace for your life.
Try to take a few deep breaths, find a quiet
space in your heart so that you can really receive
the Word of God in a personal.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Way for your life.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I will lift up my eyes to the hills from
whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord
who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your
foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold,
he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The
(00:53):
Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade at
your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you
from all evil. He shall preserve your soul. The Lord
shall preserve your going out, and you're coming in from
(01:15):
this time forth and even forevermore.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
This is what the Lord says.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
In the time of my favor, I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you.
I will keep you and will make you to be
a covenant for the people, to restore the land and
to reassign its desolate.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Inheritances, to say, to the.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Captives, come out, and to those in darkness, be free.
They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on
every barren hill. They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor
will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.
He who has compassion on them will guide them and
(02:05):
lead them beside springs of water. I will turn all
my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up.
Shout for joy, you heavens. Rejoice you earth, burst into song,
you mountains. For the Lord comforts his people and will
have compassion on his afflicted ones. He who dwells in
(02:35):
the secret place of the most High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord,
he is my refuge and my fortress, my God.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
In him, I will trust.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler,
and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with
his feathers, and under his wings you shall take refuge.
His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall
not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of
the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence
(03:14):
that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays
waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side,
and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Not come near you.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Only with your eyes shall you look and see the
reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord
who is my refuge, even the most high your dwelling place.
No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come
near your dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge
(03:50):
over you, to keep you in all your ways. In
their hands, they shall bear you up lest you dash
your foot against a stone, shall tread upon the lion
and the cobra, the young lion, and the serpent. You
shall trample underfoot. Because he has set his love upon me.
(04:10):
Therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high,
because he has known my name. He shall call upon me,
and I will answer him. I will be with him
in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
With long life.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. Then
I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For
the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
(04:47):
and there was no longer any sea. I saw the
Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, prepared as a bride, beautifully dressed for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Look,
God's dwelling place is now among.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
The people, and he will dwell with them.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
They will be his people, and God himself will be
with them and be their God. He will wipe every
tear from their eyes. There will be no more death
or mourning, or crying or pain, for the old order
of things.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Has passed away.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
He who was seated on the throne said, I am
making everything new. Then he said, write this down, for
these words are trustworthy and true. He said to me,
it is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the end to the thirsty. I will
(05:54):
give water without cost from the spring of the water
of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this,
and I will be their God, and they will be
my children. Then he said to me, prophesy to these bones,
(06:20):
and say to them, dry bones, hear the word of
the Lord. This is what the sovereign Lord says to
these bones. I will make breath enter you, and you
will come to life. I will attach tendons to you
and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin.
(06:40):
I will put breath in you, and you will come
to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I
was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and
the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and
(07:01):
tendons and flesh appeared on them, and skin covered them.
There was no breath in them. Then he said to me,
prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man, and say
to it, this is what the Sovereign Lord says. Come
breath from the four winds and breathe into these slain,
that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me,
(07:25):
and breath entered them. They came to life and stood
up on their feet a vast army. Then he said
to me, son of man, these bones are the people
of Israel. They say, our bones are dried up, and
our hope is gone. We are cut off. Therefore, prophesy
and say to them, this is what the Sovereign Lord says.
(07:49):
My people. I am going to open up your graves
and bring you up from them. I will bring you
back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people,
will know that I am the Lord. When I open
your graves and bring you up from them, I will
put my spirit in you, and you will live, and
(08:10):
I will settle you in your own land. Then you
will know that I the Lord, have spoken and I
have done it, declares the Lord.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How many are my foes, how many rise up against me?
Many are saying of me. God will not deliver him.
But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory.
The one who lists my head high, the Lord is
my shepherd, as shall not want. He maketh me to
(08:48):
lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the
still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in
the paths.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Of righteousness for his namesake.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil. For Thou art
with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup
(09:26):
runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life, and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord forever. The Lord is my
light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear. The Lord
(09:51):
is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I
be afraid. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my
foes came up me to eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell. Though a host should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear, though war should rise against me.
(10:11):
In this will I be confident. One thing have I
desired of the Lord? That will I seek after? That
I may dwell in the house of the Lord all
the days of my life, to behold the beauty of
the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. For in
the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion,
(10:35):
in the secret place of his tabernacle.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Shall he hide me.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He shall set me up upon a rock, And now
shall mine head be lifted up above my enemies round
about me. Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices
of joy. I will sing, YEA, I will sing praises
unto the Lord, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,
(11:02):
have mercy also upon me and answer me. When you said,
seek my face, my heart said, unto thee thy face, Lord,
will I seek, Hide not thy face far from me.
Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou hast been
my help. Leave me not neither forsake me, O, God
(11:24):
of my salvation. When my father and mother forsake me,
then the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way,
o Lord, and lead me in a plain path because
of my enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will
of my enemies. For false witnesses are risen up against me,
(11:45):
and such as breathe thou cruelty. I had fainted unless
I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord
in the.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Land of the Living.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and he
shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say on the Lord.
I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me
and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the
(12:18):
slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. He set
my feet on a rock and gave me a firm
place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see
and fear the Lord, and put their trust in him.
Blessed is the one who trust in the Lord, who
(12:40):
does not look to the proud, to those who turn
aside to false gods. Many, Lord, my God, are the
wonders you have done, the things you plan for us.
None can compare with you. Were I to speak and
tell of your deeds, they.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Would be too many to declare.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Hear my cry, O God, attend unto my prayer from
the end of the earth. Will I cry unto thee
when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I. For thou hast been a
shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in Thy tabernacle forever. I will trust
(13:28):
in the covert of thy wings. For Thou, o God,
hast heard my vows. Thou hast given me the heritage
of those that fear thy name. Praise the Lord my soul,
all my inmost being, Praise his holy name. Praise the
(13:51):
Lord my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who
forgives all your sins and heals all your dizeses, who
redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with
love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things,
so that your youth is renewed Like the eagles. The
(14:14):
Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. He
made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the
people of Israel. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow
to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever. He does not
(14:37):
treat us as our sins deserve, or repay us according
to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are
above the earth, so great is his love for those
who fear him. As far as the east is from
the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
(14:58):
As a father has compassion on his children, so the
Lord has compassion on those who fear him. For he
knows how we are formed. He remembers that we are dust.
The life of mortals is like grass. They flourish like
the flower of the field. The wind blows over it,
and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
(15:22):
But from everlasting to everlasting. The Lord's love is with
those who fear him and his righteousness with their children's children,
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey
his precepts. The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules overall.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Praise the Lord, you his.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey
his word. Praise the Lord all his heavenly hosts, You
his servants who do his will. Praise the Lord all
his works everywhere.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
In his dominion. The Lord my soul.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath
of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers fall. But the word
of our God endures forever. You who bring good news
to Zion, go up on a high mountain, You who
bring good news to Jerusalem. Lift your voice with a shout.
(16:29):
Lift it up. Do not be afraid, say to the
towns of Judah, here is your God. See the sovereign
Lord comes with power, and he rules with a mighty arm.
See his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.
He tends his flock like a shepherd. He gathers the
lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.
(16:53):
He gently leads those that have young. Who has measured
the waters in the hollow of him his hand, or
with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens.
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills
in a balance. Who can fathom the spirit of the Lord,
(17:16):
or instruct the Lord as his Counselor whom did the
Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the
right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge or
showed him the path of understanding. He gives strength to
the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even
(17:37):
youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run
and not grow weary. They will walk and not be fame.
(18:00):
Baron thou that didst not bear, break forth into singing
and cry aloud, Thou that didst not travail with child.
For more are the children of the desolate than the
children of the married wife. Saith the Lord enlarge the
place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth. The
(18:20):
curtains of thin inhabitations spare not lengthen thy courts and
strengthen thy stakes. For thou shalt break forth on the
right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall
inherit the gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither be
(18:43):
thou confounded. For thou shalt not be put to shame.
For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and
shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood anymore. For
thy maker is thine husband, the Lord, Lord of Hosts
is his name. And thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
(19:06):
the God of the whole earth, shall he be called.
No weapon that is formed against THEE shall prosper, And
every tongue that shall rise against Thee in judgment, thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of
the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
(19:33):
It is written, I believed, therefore I have spoken, since
we have that same spirit of faith. We also believe,
and therefore speak because we know that the one who
raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise
us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.
(19:54):
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace
that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving
to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do
not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day, for our
(20:15):
light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our
eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
Since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen
is eternal. I consider that our present sufferings are not
(20:44):
worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
For the Creation waits in eager expectation for the children
of God to be revealed. For the Creation was subjected
to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the
will of the one who subjected it in hope that
(21:06):
the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to
decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the
children of God. And we know that in all things
God works for the good of those who love Him,
who have been called according to his purpose for those
(21:27):
God foreknew. He also predestined to be conformed to the
image of his son, that he might be the firstborn
among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined he
also called. Those he called he also justified. Those he
justified he also glorified. What then, shall we say in
(21:50):
response to these things? If God is for.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Us, who can be against us?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He who did not spare his own son, but gave
him up for us all, How will he not, also,
along with him graciously give us all things? Who will
bring any charge against those whom God has chosen. It
is God who justifies, who, then is the one who
condemns no one. Christ Jesus, who died more than that,
(22:25):
who was raised to life, is at the right hand
of God and is also interceding for us.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Shall trouble or hardship, or persecution, or famine or nakedness
or danger or sword, as it is written, for your sake,
we face death all day long. We are considered as
sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we
(22:59):
are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For
I am convinced that Neither life nor death, neither angels
nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation
(23:20):
will be able to separate us from the love of
God that is in Christ.

and say to them, dry bones, hear the word of
the Lord. This is what the sovereign Lord says to
these bones. I will make breath enter you, and you
will come to life. I will attach tendons to you
and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin.
(06:40):
I will put breath in you, and you will come
to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I
was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and
the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and
(07:01):
tendons and flesh appeared on them, and skin covered them.
There was no breath in them. Then he said to me,
prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man, and say
to it, this is what the Sovereign Lord says. Come
breath from the four winds and breathe into these slain,
that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me,
(07:25):
and breath entered them. They came to life and stood
up on their feet a vast army. Then he said
to me, son of man, these bones are the people
of Israel. They say, our bones are dried up, and
our hope is gone. We are cut off. Therefore, prophesy
and say to them, this is what the Sovereign Lord says.
(07:49):
My people. I am going to open up your graves
and bring you up from them. I will bring you
back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people,
will know that I am the Lord. When I open
your graves and bring you up from them, I will
put my spirit in you, and you will live, and
(08:10):
I will settle you in your own land. Then you
will know that I the Lord, have spoken and I
have done it, declares the Lord.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How many are my foes, how many rise up against me?
Many are saying of me. God will not deliver him.
But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory.
The one who lists my head high, the Lord is
my shepherd, as shall not want. He maketh me to
(08:48):
lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the
still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in
the paths.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Of righteousness for his namesake.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil. For Thou art
with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup
(09:26):
runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life, and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord forever. The Lord is my
light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear. The Lord
(09:51):
is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I
be afraid. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my
foes came up me to eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell. Though a host should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear, though war should rise against me.
(10:11):
In this will I be confident. One thing have I
desired of the Lord? That will I seek after? That
I may dwell in the house of the Lord all
the days of my life, to behold the beauty of
the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. For in
the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion,
(10:35):
in the secret place of his tabernacle.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Shall he hide me.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He shall set me up upon a rock, And now
shall mine head be lifted up above my enemies round
about me. Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices
of joy. I will sing, YEA, I will sing praises
unto the Lord, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,
(11:02):
have mercy also upon me and answer me. When you said,
seek my face, my heart said, unto thee thy face, Lord,
will I seek, Hide not thy face far from me.
Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou hast been
my help. Leave me not neither forsake me, O, God
(11:24):
of my salvation. When my father and mother forsake me,
then the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way,
o Lord, and lead me in a plain path because
of my enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will
of my enemies. For false witnesses are risen up against me,
(11:45):
and such as breathe thou cruelty. I had fainted unless
I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord
in the.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Land of the Living.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and he
shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say on the Lord.
I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me
and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the
(12:18):
slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. He set
my feet on a rock and gave me a firm
place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see
and fear the Lord, and put their trust in him.
Blessed is the one who trust in the Lord, who
(12:40):
does not look to the proud, to those who turn
aside to false gods. Many, Lord, my God, are the
wonders you have done, the things you plan for us.
None can compare with you. Were I to speak and
tell of your deeds, they.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Would be too many to declare.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Hear my cry, O God, attend unto my prayer from
the end of the earth. Will I cry unto thee
when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I. For thou hast been a
shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in Thy tabernacle forever. I will trust
(13:28):
in the covert of thy wings. For Thou, o God,
hast heard my vows. Thou hast given me the heritage
of those that fear thy name. Praise the Lord my soul,
all my inmost being, Praise his holy name. Praise the
(13:51):
Lord my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who
forgives all your sins and heals all your dizeses, who
redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with
love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things,
so that your youth is renewed Like the eagles. The
(14:14):
Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. He
made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the
people of Israel. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow
to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever. He does not
(14:37):
treat us as our sins deserve, or repay us according
to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are
above the earth, so great is his love for those
who fear him. As far as the east is from
the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
(14:58):
As a father has compassion on his children, so the
Lord has compassion on those who fear him. For he
knows how we are formed. He remembers that we are dust.
The life of mortals is like grass. They flourish like
the flower of the field. The wind blows over it,
and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
(15:22):
But from everlasting to everlasting. The Lord's love is with
those who fear him and his righteousness with their children's children,
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey
his precepts. The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules overall.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Praise the Lord, you his.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey
his word. Praise the Lord all his heavenly hosts, You
his servants who do his will. Praise the Lord all
his works everywhere.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
In his dominion. The Lord my soul.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath
of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers fall. But the word
of our God endures forever. You who bring good news
to Zion, go up on a high mountain, You who
bring good news to Jerusalem. Lift your voice with a shout.
(16:29):
Lift it up. Do not be afraid, say to the
towns of Judah, here is your God. See the sovereign
Lord comes with power, and he rules with a mighty arm.
See his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.
He tends his flock like a shepherd. He gathers the
lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.
(16:53):
He gently leads those that have young. Who has measured
the waters in the hollow of him his hand, or
with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens.
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills
in a balance. Who can fathom the spirit of the Lord,
(17:16):
or instruct the Lord as his Counselor whom did the
Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the
right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge or
showed him the path of understanding. He gives strength to
the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even
(17:37):
youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run
and not grow weary. They will walk and not be fame.
(18:00):
Baron thou that didst not bear, break forth into singing
and cry aloud, Thou that didst not travail with child.
For more are the children of the desolate than the
children of the married wife. Saith the Lord enlarge the
place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth. The
(18:20):
curtains of thin inhabitations spare not lengthen thy courts and
strengthen thy stakes. For thou shalt break forth on the
right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall
inherit the gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither be
(18:43):
thou confounded. For thou shalt not be put to shame.
For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and
shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood anymore. For
thy maker is thine husband, the Lord, Lord of Hosts
is his name. And thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
(19:06):
the God of the whole earth, shall he be called.
No weapon that is formed against THEE shall prosper, And
every tongue that shall rise against Thee in judgment, thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of
the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
(19:33):
It is written, I believed, therefore I have spoken, since
we have that same spirit of faith. We also believe,
and therefore speak because we know that the one who
raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise
us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.
(19:54):
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace
that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving
to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do
not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day, for our
(20:15):
light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our
eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
Since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen
is eternal. I consider that our present sufferings are not
(20:44):
worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
For the Creation waits in eager expectation for the children
of God to be revealed. For the Creation was subjected
to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the
will of the one who subjected it in hope that
(21:06):
the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to
decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the
children of God. And we know that in all things
God works for the good of those who love Him,
who have been called according to his purpose for those
(21:27):
God foreknew. He also predestined to be conformed to the
image of his son, that he might be the firstborn
among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined he
also called. Those he called he also justified. Those he
justified he also glorified. What then, shall we say in
(21:50):
response to these things? If God is for.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Us, who can be against us?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He who did not spare his own son, but gave
him up for us all, How will he not, also,
along with him graciously give us all things? Who will
bring any charge against those whom God has chosen. It
is God who justifies, who, then is the one who
condemns no one. Christ Jesus, who died more than that,
(22:25):
who was raised to life, is at the right hand
of God and is also interceding for us.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Shall trouble or hardship, or persecution, or famine or nakedness
or danger or sword, as it is written, for your sake,
we face death all day long. We are considered as
sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we
(22:59):
are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For
I am convinced that Neither life nor death, neither angels
nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation
(23:20):
will be able to separate us from the love of
God that is in Christ.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Jesus our Lord,
