(02:20):
And once again I am properties Alma Thomas, and we're
gonna start this week, like we always start, giving honor
to God and Hallelujah, hallelujah and the precious name of Jesus.
(02:41):
We come before your Holy throne on today asking you
that you touch the visionary of this movement. I'll touch
her from the counter of her hand to the soul
of her feet or whatever it's not writ in her body.
You know all about it. God, touching in a mighty way.
(03:02):
Touch of finances, Touch on creative spirit. God in the
name of Jesus, God, as she endeavors to do your work.
Empower her from power on how God and all the
women of the Crew podcast God, touch of in a
(03:22):
mighty way those that have bereaved. God, all give them
a comfort that only you can give. But your word
says that weeping only endure us for a night, but
joy comes in the morning. God. We're waiting for your morning.
God in the name of Jesus, Oh God, touch our leaders,
(03:44):
spiritual and politoicy. Oh, touch our nation and the climate
in which we live in. God in the name of Jesus, Ah.
You know the things that you have your people have
need of, Grant them on tonight. God, in the precious
name of Jesus, Oh God, we stand on your word. Tonight.
(04:05):
We believe you God. Every word that presides out of
your mouth God, in the name of Jesus, it will accomplish. Ah.
That what is that said your word says are You're
gonna continue to do a good work of the work
that you started. God, you will complete it in the
name of Jesus. Now, God, I asked you touch this line. God,
(04:29):
anything that might come to hinder your word. On tonight, God,
we stop it and send it back to the fitth
of hell from which it came. In Jesus' name, I pray,
Amen and amen and amen, and I quote of the
week comes from no other than Nikki Giovanni. Amen. Amen.
(05:00):
And I thought our quote of the week, Well, it
is on the screen. Amen, you can read the quote
of the week and it comes from know only the
one and only Nikki Jy Bonnie. Amen. And tonight we're
(05:23):
gonna talk about that terrifying word. What is that word
that we're gonna discuss tonight, We're gonna talk about fear. Ah.
There's two types of fear in scripture. One is the
fear of man circumstances. Negative fear. This is rooted in anxiety, doubt,
(05:51):
or distrust. It causes people to shrink, back, hide, or
live paralyzed. A sample the Iriaginlis feared the giants and
Canaan and refuse to enter the promised land. You see,
they looked at the sides of the giants and they
(06:14):
were already defeated. They refused to go into the land
because their fear was so great that it stagnated them.
Another fear is the fear of the Lord referental fear.
This is not terror, but a deep respect, are and
(06:37):
honor for God. Proverbs nine and ten says the fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge
of the Holy One is understanding. This kind of fear
leads to obedience, humility, and trust. What does the Bible
(07:00):
say about fear? Fear not, do not be afraid appears
over three hundred times in descriptions. God continuously reassures his
people of his presence Isaiah forty one and ten. Fear not,
(07:24):
for I am with you. Be not dismayed. For I
am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you.
I will uphold you with the righteousness of my right hand.
Sick in Timothy one in seven. For God has not
(07:46):
given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and
of love, and of a sould mind. Perfect love cast
out fear verse John four in eighteen. There is no
fear in love, but perfect love cast out fear, because
(08:11):
fear has torment He that fears is not made perfect
and love. God's love removes fear when we trust him fully.
How has believers should we respond replace fear with faith,
(08:36):
trust God's promises more than your feelings Psalms fifty six
and three. When I am afraid, I put my trust
in you. I remember not too long ago, I had
(08:57):
this fear that sagmenting me. I have this fear of
this thing or the hoyer lift, the oyer list, and
the fear is standing between me and my ability to
get into my wilchair and move around. Because when I
(09:22):
was in the hospital, the hoyal list fell and I
wasn't heard. But the fear of that order to lift
has stagnated me. So whenever I get into the chair
and the hoyal lift. Amen, I have to repeat scriptures.
I have to listen to God's words that God has
(09:46):
not given me the spirit of fear. Amen, that I'm
not supposed to be afraid because God is on my side.
But we are human, so when we face terrifying situations,
sometimes we feel fear. I wish I could say that
all my life I wore a big s on my
(10:08):
chest and I was superwoman. But that's not true. At
times my faith wavered. At times my faith needed it
a little bit more. Faith A man trust God's promises
more than your feelings. When I'm afraid, I plant my
(10:30):
trust in you, stand on God's presence. Remember that fear
often comes when we forget God is with us. Joshua
one in nine, Be strong and courageous, Do not be afraid,
do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will
(10:54):
be with you wherever you go. What a powerful message
and whatever we go through in life, that God is
gonna be with us. I'm a living witness that it
doesn't feel like it sometimes sometimes the road is so
dark and whiny, But when you look around, you find
(11:16):
out that Jesus was there all the time. When I
laid her my baby in the ground her Jesus was
there when I was homeless, Jesus was there when I
got a divorce. Jesus was there. Huh when I had
a massive stroke. Jesus was there. So my living witness
(11:41):
that no matter what you go through, that God is
gonna be with you. There's no need to feel her.
There's no need to be afraid. Now, God says, be courageous,
be strong, do not be discouraged. Colivate your reverence, not terror.
(12:05):
Let fear the Lord are a reverence God. Your life choices,
not fear of man or circumstances. Isn't it funny how
there's some people that worry about what man thinks of them.
They might have a habit or something, they might smoke
(12:26):
or drink, and they're more concerned about if their church
member sees them drinking or spoken or curtain, But they're
not concerned about God sees them, and God says hi,
and they look slow. Hallelujah. You can't hide from God.
(12:46):
Glory be to God. On today we're talking about fear.
Ollve Luiah. I remember someone telling me how that fear
is false evidence fearing real. Ha, hallelujah. You know when
you was a little kid and you thought it was
(13:06):
a monster under your bed, and when you found out
that it was a jew or whatever it was, your
fear made it look like the evidence was real. There
was a real monster under your bed. Hallanlujah. Matthew ten
(13:27):
and twenty eight says, do not be afraid of those
who killed the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather
be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul
and body in hell. So don't free man all alujah.
Be worried about God and the Bible. Fear could either
(13:52):
cripple us when we fear man, failure or circumstances, or
ground us when we walk in reverence before God. The
key is shifting from fear to a world of faith.
As anybody he has fear, procastination or the anxiety of
(14:15):
failure or even success, prevented you from in breaches of
life that God called you to dB see. Before I
had my massive stroke, I used to be a procastinator.
I would say, Oh, I could do it tomorrow. He
would say, oh, you're gonna fiell this pap out today. Oh,
I can do it tomorrow. And when I laid down
(14:39):
on April twenty third, two thousand and one, I had
a lot of plans for April twenty fourth, But when
I opened my eyes, I couldn't even lift my hand.
Now I couldn't move my leg. Everything that I had
planned to do on April twenty fourth, it was no
(15:04):
longer available for me to do. And that's why when
I got back breath got back in my body, I
said I would not put off what I can do
today for tomorrow, because tomorrow is not promised to us,
(15:26):
and the cemetery is full of fail vision, dead dreams.
You can't do nothing once you fall asleep. Glory be
the guy you have to work while it's stayed, because
night comes and no man can work. This question resonates
(15:48):
deeply with many of us, and I can certainly share
my own experiences and grapping with these obstacles. Today we
will dive into the I'm at barriers that staffle our
dream and as for how to step into to divide
the design that God has for each of our life.
(16:11):
One significant dream killer is a fear of failure, which
can often leave us paralyzed with doubt. We might find
ourselves asking what if I try and fail? This sentiment
echoes the story and Matthew forty nine, twenty nine to
(16:33):
thirty and straightways, Jesus constricted his disciples to get into
a ship and to go before him onto the other side,
while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had
sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain
apart to pray. And when the evening was calm, he
(16:57):
was there alone, but was now in the midst of
the sea tossed with waves, for the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went
unto them walking on the sea. And when the disciples
saw him walking on the sea, they was troubled, saying
(17:22):
it in an experience, and they cried out for fear,
but straight waves. Jesus spake up to them, saying, be
of good cheer it is I be not afraid. And
Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou,
(17:42):
bid me come unto thee on the water. And he
said come. And when Peter was calmed down out of
the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid
and began to sink. He cried, saying, Lord, save me.
(18:05):
And immediately Jesus strenched forth his hand and caught him
and said, oh, thou of little faith, wherefore did that doubt?
And when they'd come into the ship, the wind ceased.
And then then when the ship came and worshiped him,
saying of Truth, the other son of God. See Peter
(18:30):
was able a man to walk on water until he
took his focus off of God. When we go in
through situations, fearful situations, things that happened to us, that
knocked the wind out of us. When we take our
eyes off of God and look at the problem, look
(18:52):
at the circumstance, look at the situation, we began to sink.
But as long as we keep our eyes to the
hills from which come is our helper, all of our
help comes from God. In the name of Jesus. I
(19:13):
love Lujiah, I love Lujah. On tonight, ill of Lujah,
keep your eyes on Jesus. I'm reminded her of a
little story on how there was a little old lady
and she came to church Sunday after Sunday, but she
was just pleased. She saw people on their cell phone,
(19:37):
she saw people passing notes, she saw people talking back
and forth. So one Sunday she went to the pastor
and she said, Pastor, this is my last Sunday coming
to this church, because there's people talking, there's people on
their telephone. They have no reverence for God. So the
(19:59):
pastors that do me a favor come back one more Sunday. Huh.
And she said, okay, pass up, but I don't see
what this is gonna change. Amen. So she came back
the following Sunday and the passer said to her, take
this glass of water, and I want you to walk
(20:20):
all around the church and don't let any of its spell.
So the old lady walked around and around the church,
watching the glass of water. So at the end of
the service, God said, so I mean. The passer said,
tell me what did you see, Amen? And she said,
(20:42):
I didn't see anything. I was so focused on keeping
this water in the cup that I couldn't focus on
excuse me, I couldn't focus on anything else. And he said,
do that next Sunday. Keep your focus on Jesus. Don't
live to the left but to the right of you,
(21:04):
but keep your mind on Jesus. Amen. That was a
lesson for the lady. Amen, not to look around, but
to look to God. When Peter steps out in faith,
but walters we also, I'll face the fear of success.
(21:26):
The dort and thorn of succeeding, then feeling overwhelmed by
the expensation that follow give me just as paralyzing along
these fears lies to the crippling habit of procrastination, where
we tell ourselves we'll do it tomorrow. ECCLEUSI Accident eleven
(21:50):
and four. He that observes the wind shall not sow,
and he that regards to cloud shall not weep. As
I know it's what is the way of the spirit,
Know how the bones do grow in the womb of
her that is with child, even so knowing that not
(22:11):
the works of God who beg it's all in the
morning sow thy seed, and in the evening is whole
not thy head. But I know it's whether they know.
It's not whether it shall prosper either this or that,
or whether they both shall be alike. Good. Amen. We
(22:33):
don't know the mind of God. Amen. We don't know
when our blessed is gonna come. We don't know when
I breakthrough is gonna come. We know that, oh it's
gonna come, Amen, because God has spoken in But we
don't know the day of the hour. There's an old
song that says that he might not come when you
(22:56):
want him, But he's right on time. Additionally, the voices
in doubt in comparison can cloud our judgment, leading us
to wonder who am I to dream this big? This
inner turmoil is often counted by the encouragement found in
(23:16):
Jeremiah one six. Then the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, before I formed THEE in the belly,
I knew THEE, and before thy comes forth out of
the womb, Glory be to God. I sanctified THEE, and
(23:38):
I ordain THEE a prophet unto the nation. Then said I, O, Lord, God, behold,
I cannot speak, for I am a child. But the
Lord said, unto me, say not I am a child,
For that shalt go to all that I send THEE,
(23:58):
and whatever I come in the houth shall speak. Be
not afraid of their faces, for I will deliver THEE,
said the Lord. Then the Lord excuse me. Then the
Lord put forth his head and touched my mouth. And
the Lord said, unto me, But oh, I put my
(24:20):
words in my mouth. See, I have this day set
THEE over the nations and over the kingdom, to root
out and to pull down, to destroy, and to throw down,
to build into plant. Amen, we are reminding us that
we are equipped for this journey we've been anointing for
(24:41):
a time. Yes, such as this, Yes, I mean all
these challenges we can still find as servants and God
desire for our lives. In Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven,
we are reminding God as plans to props us filled
(25:01):
with hope in the future. For furthermore, Second seventy one
and seven declares that God has not given us a
spirit of fear, but rather one of our love and
a soiun mouths. Embracing your purpose should always take president
over clinging the confidence. Just like a sea must be
(25:23):
buried in the ground as fout we must to embrace
excuse me, we too must embrace the unknown to experience growth.
So how do we overcome these barriers? First we choose
faith over fear, taking that courageous step forward, even if
(25:47):
we're tribling. Do it afraid, Joshua, one of nine, be
strong enough, good courage for unto this people shall I
divide for an inherit the land which I sworn to
their fathers. Togither, only be strong and very courageous, that
(26:07):
thou may observe to do according to all the law
which moses my servant servant commandity. Turn not into the
right hand or to the left, that they may prosper.
Whensoever thou goest, this book of the Lord shall not
depart out of their mouth. Thou shall meditate therein day
(26:31):
and night, that thou may have deserved to do accordingly
to all that is written. Then in for them that
shall make that way profits, and th shall have good success.
Have I not commodity to be strong and of good courage?
Be not afraid, neither be thus made for the Lord,
(26:54):
thy God is with thee wherever thou goest. Only we
must parentze discipline to compare prost. That's the nation. Take
an action now, as we encourage in Proverbs six and six.
Go to the end. By sluggard, consider her ways and
(27:17):
be wise, which, having no guide overseer a ruler, provided
her meeting the summer, and gathered her food in the harvest.
How long will that split that sleep, old sluggard, Wilt
thou rise out of their sleep, get a little sleep,
a little slumber, a little folded of the hands to sleep.
(27:41):
So shall that poverty come as one that travilla, and
thy want as an armed man Moreover, we need to
embrace purpose over excuses, reminding ourselves that we are God's worksmen,
as stated in Ephesians, to intend for we are His
(28:02):
workmanship created in Christ Jesus. Unto good works which God
has before a day, that we should walk in them.
And as we reflect on these truths, I challenge you
to consider the dreams you have delayed. What is one
(28:22):
step you can take this week toward bringing those dreams
to life? I encourage you to pray for the courage
and accountability to follow through. And closing, remember that while
dream killers can be loud and persistent, God's voice is
(28:47):
ultimately louder. Let us declare together, no more fear, no
more procrastination or excuses. Is time go to step boldly
into the life that God has ordained for us. Amen
(29:09):
and amen and amen. We've been talking about fear. Amen,
and now we're gonna look to God. In the press
name of Jesus. We come to you one more time,
thanking you for this platform, thanking you for the vigilary God,
(29:31):
thanking you for the words you have allowed me to
speak on tonight. God, is there anybody that does not
know you and the part of their sins. I invite
you them to get to know you God, to live
the dream life that you have. A dame for them
(29:53):
no longer to allow dream killers to stop them in
their steps, for the to step out on faith and
live the life that you promised us in the name
of Jesus. It is simple a man to accept you
of tonight. All they have to do is succept you
(30:17):
as their savior, realizing that you are the son of
God who laid down his life on Calvary one day.
But the story doesn't end there. And three days later
you picked it back up and you conquered death in
the name of Jesus so that we might have eternal life.
(30:39):
And if you said these words that you accepted Jesus
as your personal savior, find yourself a Bible, believe in church,
and advancing the knowledge of God, so the promises that
has been spoken over your life might come to truition.
And if you know God, God, you know the man
(31:04):
that can ignite your dreams again. No dream is too
big for our Father, for he owns everything. I'll keep
your hand in the hand of a man. Amen, continue
to look towards the hills from which come is o out.
All of our hope comes from God. In the princess
(31:25):
name of Jesus. Remember all the members, Amen of the crew. Amen,
those that are going through grief. Right now, God, I
put your arms around her right now, give her the
comfort that only you can give. God. I know the
days look darker and like there's never gonna be a
(31:48):
light at the end of the tunnel of God. But
I know her. You to be a keeper. I know
you to be a deliverer. I know you to be
a provider. God, I know you to be a heel
deliver in the president name of Jesus. God, touch anybody
that needs to be touched in a mighty way. Those
that are sick. God, and remember me, God, Ah, you're
(32:12):
lonely serving God. Touch my body in a mi reckless
way in the name of Jesus, take away any pain
in the name of Jesus. Anything that the doctors say no, God,
you say yes, and you have the final word. In
the present name of Jesus, we stand on your word
(32:34):

chest and I was superwoman. But that's not true. At
times my faith wavered. At times my faith needed it
a little bit more. Faith A man trust God's promises
more than your feelings. When I'm afraid, I plant my
(10:30):
trust in you, stand on God's presence. Remember that fear
often comes when we forget God is with us. Joshua
one in nine, Be strong and courageous, Do not be afraid,
do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will
(10:54):
be with you wherever you go. What a powerful message
and whatever we go through in life, that God is
gonna be with us. I'm a living witness that it
doesn't feel like it sometimes sometimes the road is so
dark and whiny, But when you look around, you find
(11:16):
out that Jesus was there all the time. When I
laid her my baby in the ground her Jesus was
there when I was homeless, Jesus was there when I
got a divorce. Jesus was there. Huh when I had
a massive stroke. Jesus was there. So my living witness
(11:41):
that no matter what you go through, that God is
gonna be with you. There's no need to feel her.
There's no need to be afraid. Now, God says, be courageous,
be strong, do not be discouraged. Colivate your reverence, not terror.
(12:05):
Let fear the Lord are a reverence God. Your life choices,
not fear of man or circumstances. Isn't it funny how
there's some people that worry about what man thinks of them.
They might have a habit or something, they might smoke
(12:26):
or drink, and they're more concerned about if their church
member sees them drinking or spoken or curtain, But they're
not concerned about God sees them, and God says hi,
and they look slow. Hallelujah. You can't hide from God.
(12:46):
Glory be to God. On today we're talking about fear.
Ollve Luiah. I remember someone telling me how that fear
is false evidence fearing real. Ha, hallelujah. You know when
you was a little kid and you thought it was
(13:06):
a monster under your bed, and when you found out
that it was a jew or whatever it was, your
fear made it look like the evidence was real. There
was a real monster under your bed. Hallanlujah. Matthew ten
(13:27):
and twenty eight says, do not be afraid of those
who killed the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather
be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul
and body in hell. So don't free man all alujah.
Be worried about God and the Bible. Fear could either
(13:52):
cripple us when we fear man, failure or circumstances, or
ground us when we walk in reverence before God. The
key is shifting from fear to a world of faith.
As anybody he has fear, procastination or the anxiety of
(14:15):
failure or even success, prevented you from in breaches of
life that God called you to dB see. Before I
had my massive stroke, I used to be a procastinator.
I would say, Oh, I could do it tomorrow. He
would say, oh, you're gonna fiell this pap out today. Oh,
I can do it tomorrow. And when I laid down
(14:39):
on April twenty third, two thousand and one, I had
a lot of plans for April twenty fourth, But when
I opened my eyes, I couldn't even lift my hand.
Now I couldn't move my leg. Everything that I had
planned to do on April twenty fourth, it was no
(15:04):
longer available for me to do. And that's why when
I got back breath got back in my body, I
said I would not put off what I can do
today for tomorrow, because tomorrow is not promised to us,
(15:26):
and the cemetery is full of fail vision, dead dreams.
You can't do nothing once you fall asleep. Glory be
the guy you have to work while it's stayed, because
night comes and no man can work. This question resonates
(15:48):
deeply with many of us, and I can certainly share
my own experiences and grapping with these obstacles. Today we
will dive into the I'm at barriers that staffle our
dream and as for how to step into to divide
the design that God has for each of our life.
(16:11):
One significant dream killer is a fear of failure, which
can often leave us paralyzed with doubt. We might find
ourselves asking what if I try and fail? This sentiment
echoes the story and Matthew forty nine, twenty nine to
(16:33):
thirty and straightways, Jesus constricted his disciples to get into
a ship and to go before him onto the other side,
while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had
sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain
apart to pray. And when the evening was calm, he
(16:57):
was there alone, but was now in the midst of
the sea tossed with waves, for the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went
unto them walking on the sea. And when the disciples
saw him walking on the sea, they was troubled, saying
(17:22):
it in an experience, and they cried out for fear,
but straight waves. Jesus spake up to them, saying, be
of good cheer it is I be not afraid. And
Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou,
(17:42):
bid me come unto thee on the water. And he
said come. And when Peter was calmed down out of
the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid
and began to sink. He cried, saying, Lord, save me.
(18:05):
And immediately Jesus strenched forth his hand and caught him
and said, oh, thou of little faith, wherefore did that doubt?
And when they'd come into the ship, the wind ceased.
And then then when the ship came and worshiped him,
saying of Truth, the other son of God. See Peter
(18:30):
was able a man to walk on water until he
took his focus off of God. When we go in
through situations, fearful situations, things that happened to us, that
knocked the wind out of us. When we take our
eyes off of God and look at the problem, look
(18:52):
at the circumstance, look at the situation, we began to sink.
But as long as we keep our eyes to the
hills from which come is our helper, all of our
help comes from God. In the name of Jesus. I
(19:13):
love Lujiah, I love Lujah. On tonight, ill of Lujah,
keep your eyes on Jesus. I'm reminded her of a
little story on how there was a little old lady
and she came to church Sunday after Sunday, but she
was just pleased. She saw people on their cell phone,
(19:37):
she saw people passing notes, she saw people talking back
and forth. So one Sunday she went to the pastor
and she said, Pastor, this is my last Sunday coming
to this church, because there's people talking, there's people on
their telephone. They have no reverence for God. So the
(19:59):
pastors that do me a favor come back one more Sunday. Huh.
And she said, okay, pass up, but I don't see
what this is gonna change. Amen. So she came back
the following Sunday and the passer said to her, take
this glass of water, and I want you to walk
(20:20):
all around the church and don't let any of its spell.
So the old lady walked around and around the church,
watching the glass of water. So at the end of
the service, God said, so I mean. The passer said,
tell me what did you see, Amen? And she said,
(20:42):
I didn't see anything. I was so focused on keeping
this water in the cup that I couldn't focus on
excuse me, I couldn't focus on anything else. And he said,
do that next Sunday. Keep your focus on Jesus. Don't
live to the left but to the right of you,
(21:04):
but keep your mind on Jesus. Amen. That was a
lesson for the lady. Amen, not to look around, but
to look to God. When Peter steps out in faith,
but walters we also, I'll face the fear of success.
(21:26):
The dort and thorn of succeeding, then feeling overwhelmed by
the expensation that follow give me just as paralyzing along
these fears lies to the crippling habit of procrastination, where
we tell ourselves we'll do it tomorrow. ECCLEUSI Accident eleven
(21:50):
and four. He that observes the wind shall not sow,
and he that regards to cloud shall not weep. As
I know it's what is the way of the spirit,
Know how the bones do grow in the womb of
her that is with child, even so knowing that not
(22:11):
the works of God who beg it's all in the
morning sow thy seed, and in the evening is whole
not thy head. But I know it's whether they know.
It's not whether it shall prosper either this or that,
or whether they both shall be alike. Good. Amen. We
(22:33):
don't know the mind of God. Amen. We don't know
when our blessed is gonna come. We don't know when
I breakthrough is gonna come. We know that, oh it's
gonna come, Amen, because God has spoken in But we
don't know the day of the hour. There's an old
song that says that he might not come when you
(22:56):
want him, But he's right on time. Additionally, the voices
in doubt in comparison can cloud our judgment, leading us
to wonder who am I to dream this big? This
inner turmoil is often counted by the encouragement found in
(23:16):
Jeremiah one six. Then the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, before I formed THEE in the belly,
I knew THEE, and before thy comes forth out of
the womb, Glory be to God. I sanctified THEE, and
(23:38):
I ordain THEE a prophet unto the nation. Then said I, O, Lord, God, behold,
I cannot speak, for I am a child. But the
Lord said, unto me, say not I am a child,
For that shalt go to all that I send THEE,
(23:58):
and whatever I come in the houth shall speak. Be
not afraid of their faces, for I will deliver THEE,
said the Lord. Then the Lord excuse me. Then the
Lord put forth his head and touched my mouth. And
the Lord said, unto me, But oh, I put my
(24:20):
words in my mouth. See, I have this day set
THEE over the nations and over the kingdom, to root
out and to pull down, to destroy, and to throw down,
to build into plant. Amen, we are reminding us that
we are equipped for this journey we've been anointing for
(24:41):
a time. Yes, such as this, Yes, I mean all
these challenges we can still find as servants and God
desire for our lives. In Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven,
we are reminding God as plans to props us filled
(25:01):
with hope in the future. For furthermore, Second seventy one
and seven declares that God has not given us a
spirit of fear, but rather one of our love and
a soiun mouths. Embracing your purpose should always take president
over clinging the confidence. Just like a sea must be
(25:23):
buried in the ground as fout we must to embrace
excuse me, we too must embrace the unknown to experience growth.
So how do we overcome these barriers? First we choose
faith over fear, taking that courageous step forward, even if
(25:47):
we're tribling. Do it afraid, Joshua, one of nine, be
strong enough, good courage for unto this people shall I
divide for an inherit the land which I sworn to
their fathers. Togither, only be strong and very courageous, that
(26:07):
thou may observe to do according to all the law
which moses my servant servant commandity. Turn not into the
right hand or to the left, that they may prosper.
Whensoever thou goest, this book of the Lord shall not
depart out of their mouth. Thou shall meditate therein day
(26:31):
and night, that thou may have deserved to do accordingly
to all that is written. Then in for them that
shall make that way profits, and th shall have good success.
Have I not commodity to be strong and of good courage?
Be not afraid, neither be thus made for the Lord,
(26:54):
thy God is with thee wherever thou goest. Only we
must parentze discipline to compare prost. That's the nation. Take
an action now, as we encourage in Proverbs six and six.
Go to the end. By sluggard, consider her ways and
(27:17):
be wise, which, having no guide overseer a ruler, provided
her meeting the summer, and gathered her food in the harvest.
How long will that split that sleep, old sluggard, Wilt
thou rise out of their sleep, get a little sleep,
a little slumber, a little folded of the hands to sleep.
(27:41):
So shall that poverty come as one that travilla, and
thy want as an armed man Moreover, we need to
embrace purpose over excuses, reminding ourselves that we are God's worksmen,
as stated in Ephesians, to intend for we are His
(28:02):
workmanship created in Christ Jesus. Unto good works which God
has before a day, that we should walk in them.
And as we reflect on these truths, I challenge you
to consider the dreams you have delayed. What is one
(28:22):
step you can take this week toward bringing those dreams
to life? I encourage you to pray for the courage
and accountability to follow through. And closing, remember that while
dream killers can be loud and persistent, God's voice is
(28:47):
ultimately louder. Let us declare together, no more fear, no
more procrastination or excuses. Is time go to step boldly
into the life that God has ordained for us. Amen
(29:09):
and amen and amen. We've been talking about fear. Amen,
and now we're gonna look to God. In the press
name of Jesus. We come to you one more time,
thanking you for this platform, thanking you for the vigilary God,
(29:31):
thanking you for the words you have allowed me to
speak on tonight. God, is there anybody that does not
know you and the part of their sins. I invite
you them to get to know you God, to live
the dream life that you have. A dame for them
(29:53):
no longer to allow dream killers to stop them in
their steps, for the to step out on faith and
live the life that you promised us in the name
of Jesus. It is simple a man to accept you
of tonight. All they have to do is succept you
(30:17):
as their savior, realizing that you are the son of
God who laid down his life on Calvary one day.
But the story doesn't end there. And three days later
you picked it back up and you conquered death in
the name of Jesus so that we might have eternal life.
(30:39):
And if you said these words that you accepted Jesus
as your personal savior, find yourself a Bible, believe in church,
and advancing the knowledge of God, so the promises that
has been spoken over your life might come to truition.
And if you know God, God, you know the man
(31:04):
that can ignite your dreams again. No dream is too
big for our Father, for he owns everything. I'll keep
your hand in the hand of a man. Amen, continue
to look towards the hills from which come is o out.
All of our hope comes from God. In the princess
(31:25):
name of Jesus. Remember all the members, Amen of the crew. Amen,
those that are going through grief. Right now, God, I
put your arms around her right now, give her the
comfort that only you can give. God. I know the
days look darker and like there's never gonna be a
(31:48):
light at the end of the tunnel of God. But
I know her. You to be a keeper. I know
you to be a deliverer. I know you to be
a provider. God, I know you to be a heel
deliver in the president name of Jesus. God, touch anybody
that needs to be touched in a mighty way. Those
that are sick. God, and remember me, God, Ah, you're
(32:12):
lonely serving God. Touch my body in a mi reckless
way in the name of Jesus, take away any pain
in the name of Jesus. Anything that the doctors say no, God,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
