Speaker 5 (01:06):
We're excited to have her doing a live broadcast today
for those that are joining us. We're excited about what
she's doing and her teaching and stuff. At this time
of what we're gonna do, we're gonna turn everything over
to her. Minister Williams.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Praise the Lord. Reverend Rose, how are you, How are you?
And thank you so much? Well, welcome again. We are
so excited, delighted that once again you decide to join
us at this time. I really do count the privilege
to be part of wonderful network of brothers and sisters
in Christ on this when Christian Speak Talk radio ministry
(01:43):
was founded by Rebie Rayroads over nine years ago. Here
we expect people's lives to be changed in such a
way that they'll go out and help make a difference
in someone else's life. I hope you're doing that. The
tide of this particular program under when Christians speed is
His abounding grace, And I wanted to tell you a
(02:03):
little bit about that. That title was taken from Romans
the fifth chapter and the twenty first which reads where
more over the law enters that their offense might abound,
but where sin abound, it grace did much more abounds.
You know, his bounding grace is a marvelous gift, and
(02:26):
sometimes we take it for granted. But though we know
it's because of his grace, the second chances exist. It
is because of his grace that we are not consumed.
It is because of his grace. But the enemy is
all ready defeated. So instead of using his grape as
an opportunity to continue to sin, we should be continually
(02:46):
praise to God that through the depressions, blood of Jesus
Christ Great did much more about a man well that
broadcast is title stopped Feeding the Donkey. I know it
sounds like a praise this title, but just hanging there
with before a minute and you'll see where we're going
to visit. Taken from numbers the twenty second chapter. Let
(03:08):
us pray Heaven the Father. We thank you, Lord God.
We thank you Father for your grace and your mercy.
Lord God. We thank you because you're so awesome. Father.
We thank you for another opportunity to serve you, another
opportunity to share your word. Lord God, you told us
an your word that when it goes out, it will
never returned unto you. Board it would go out and
(03:31):
accomplished that which you have purpose for it to accomplish.
So we give you the honor, we give you the glory,
and we give you the praise. Lord God. The ears
would be open to receive and hear everything that you
have for them tonight, Lord God. And then we won't
just be hearers of the Word when we go out
and do what the Word says, do and Jesus say,
we pray thank you Lord. Amen. Amen. Well, my prayer
(03:55):
again is to just to encourage you, you know, just
breathen your relationship with God. And if you don't die
in the chance, if you don't have a personal relationship
with Him through his son Jesus Christ. Our prayer is
that this message will convict you and touch your heart
so that you would want to know Jesus for yourself.
Take a deep breath, take a step back, Relax, pause,
(04:22):
Stop trying to push your way through an unauthorized door,
a door that God has closed because He has something
better in store for you. Think back of your life.
Have you ever been in a relationship that you prayed about,
that you truly end up and married to bliss only
to get your heart broken? Then, after such disappointment, after
(04:46):
such despair, after much woe it around, after much woe
is Me, you later found that there is still life
in the vine. You find out that you want your love,
a love that has endured over for the some years
of a God filled marriage feel makes you smile. Only
God could do that. Think back over your life. Have
(05:08):
you ever been in a situation where just looked like
there was no way out? You cried, you prayed, you cry,
and you prayed some more, only to find out later
that you are much stronger because of it. You found
out that you were too had overcomer. You found out
that really was looking out for your good. That trial,
(05:29):
that's your relations, that test prepare you for something much greater.
Only God can do that. Think back over your life, parents,
did you ever have a way with child, A teen
who calls you to lay away many a night, A
teen who caused your heart to beat rapidly every time
the song would bring Only then years later that same child,
(05:52):
that same way with teams is now throwed out to
God and serving as a principle of a Christian high school.
Only God. Think that over your life, have you ever
gotten a rejection letter from an interview regarding the job
that do it so hoping would turn into an offer?
Seeing after much disappointment, after much moping around, after much
(06:15):
woe is me, you got a much better job offer.
Only God could do that. Get this. What you may
see as a rejection from God may just see a
close door, a roadblock to turn your attention, to turn
your eye for a different direction, something better, something greater
(06:36):
than you could ever hope or imagine. What you see
as a failure might just be a phenomenal setup for
the best come back ever. I'm just here to remind
you my brothers and my sisters. Don't be upset because
things are not going the way you think they should.
I'm just here to remind you oftentimes you are blessed
by what you don't see. I'm just here to remind
(06:59):
you or somebody that oftentimes what you frown upon may
be one of the best things that could have ever
happened to you. Oftentimes, whatever situation you sign yourself in
may be just the through their place the greatest opportunity
for you to shine and give God to glory. That trial,
(07:19):
that tribulation, that issue. What you see as a stubborn
donkey may just be a sid gud that you are
going in the raw direction. That may just be the
past that he has. That may not be the pants
and he is designed for you. So as the title
of the messagos, stop beating the donkey, stop seeing yourself
(07:40):
as a victim, and stop preparing yourself for the greatest
victory ever. That stubborn donkey in your life might just
be doing you a favor. Now, let's look at numbers
the twenty second chapter. Here in numbers of twenty second chapter,
we are introduced to two characters tune of people, but
the we're gonna be talking about this evening. We will
(08:02):
be introduced to Balloch, who's keen of Moab, and Balam,
who was a non Israelite, wicked but honest profits Balance
summons the prophet Balaam and ask that he put a
curse on God's people. Israelite Balich comes on the scene
and the context of the time of the Israelite's journey
(08:25):
to the promised land Moab, the land that Balance rules
lay on the east side of the Dead Sea. So
we're gonna start reading from the message fiber numbers twenty
two and one. The people of Israel marked on and
chat on the planes of Moab at Jordan, Jericho Alot,
(08:47):
son of Zeppel, learned of all that Israel had done
to the Ammorits. The people of Mohab were in a
total panic because of Israel. There were so many of them.
They were more spoke to the latest of media. Look,
this mark is going to clean us out a butt
(09:08):
of prose, picking of pockets clean.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Ballote's son of Zephyr, who was Keena Moen at that time,
sent in thesarias. I mean he sent messages to get
by Lum who lived at Pepthrow on the bank of
the Espirrhs River his homeland. So Belotsu, the king's missionary, said,
a people has come out up out of Egypt, and
(10:31):
they're all over the place, and they're crushing hard on me.
Come and curse them for me. They're too much for me.
Maybe then I can beat them. We'll attack and drive
them out of the country. You have a reputation. Those
you blessed, stay blessed. Those who you curse they cursed.
The seventh and the eighth verse says the leader of
(10:55):
Mohappan Libya was soon all their way with the fee
for the curking up safely in the woman. When they
got to Balaam, they gave him balance message. Stay here
for the night. He said, in the morning, I'll deliver
the answer that God gives me. The more nights nobles
(11:15):
stayed with him. Then the ninth verses, then God came
to Balaam. He asked, so, what are these men here
with you? Balaam answered black Son. There, for King of
Bold had sent them with the message. Look the people
that came up each all of the places, come and
(11:35):
curse them for me. Maybe then I'll be able to
attack and drab them out of the country. God said
to Balaam, don't go with them, and don't curse the others.
They are a black people. Thirteenth verse. The next morning,
Balom got up and told Balx lovers, go back home
(11:56):
if Jesus and give me permission to go with you
to the more like noble left came back to Ballot
the king and said blog wouldn't come with us. The
fifteenth to seventeen Versus says by Allah said another group
of nobles. He didn't ever give up, He says another
group of nobles, this time higher ranking and more distinguished.
(12:18):
They came to Balaam and said, Balent son of God
first left of the son of Zephyr, says, please don't
refuse to come to me our honor and reward you lavishly.
Anything you tell me to do our two I'll put anything.
Only come and curse this people that know something here.
(12:39):
You see the enemy is so true. He would try
to anything to get you to go against God's will.
If this first attempt failed, he would try to test
you with something else. In this case, when the king's
first sent a messenger sail because this is Allah to
come to ballot, the king said another group of nobles.
The second group were more high thanking and the stingers
(13:02):
than the first messages, and he increased a war amounts. Oh,
it may have found it enticed into belonged ears. It
may have been even more tempting than the first attempt.
But don't miss this point, Okay. The enemy wants you
to fail, and he knows that he can get you
off tracks if he can get you to take your
eyes of God, and he can get you to forget
(13:23):
what God has already promised you. He knows he's got
through in a position where it's just els are begging
to be scratched. He wants you to doubt godn't for it.
He wants you to forget that God, that what God
has blessed is blessed. Indeed, he wants you to forget
that God is a God of promise. He wants you
to forget that God is not a man, the God
(13:47):
that he should lie. What God has promised cannot be touched.
But the enemy is stopping nothing to try and get
you to lose hope. He will stopping nothing to get
you to waver between two opinions. He would stopping nothing
to get you to start doubting God. The enemy will
stoping nothing to bring you into submission again, just stop
(14:09):
nothing to get you to change your soul with I mean,
just take a look at at Genesis the third chapter,
how he tricked Adam and Eve. You know, you know
the story. And the serpent was more subtle than any
be for the field which the Lord made. And so
he says to the woman, yay, has God said you
shall not eat of every tree of the garden. Had
(14:29):
the woman said it to the serpent, we might eat
of the fruit of the tree of the garden. But
of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God has said you shall not
eat of it, neither shall you touch it. You die.
And then said to the woman, you should not surely die.
But God does know that in the day you eat thereof,
then your eyes shall be open, and you shall be
(14:51):
as God, knowing good and evil. Jesus himself, I was
going to say that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness
by the enemy tempty three times. And the Master of
the fourth chapter in the NIB version says Jesus laying
on the spirit and to the wilderness to be tempted
by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty
nine he was hungry. So the tempter came to him
(15:13):
and said, if you are the son of God, tell
these stones to become bred. What did Jesus say to him?
Jesus said, it is written, man shall not live on
bread alone, but on every word that comes to the
mouth of God. Did the enemy stop there, No, he
did not. The fifth verst says, the devastates him up
to the holy knitting and had him staying on the
(15:36):
highest point of the temple. If you are the son
of God, he says, throw yourself down, for it is
written he would command his angels concerning you, and they
will lift you up in their hands, that you will
not strike your foot against a stone. Jesus answers. It
is also written, do not put the Lord your God
(15:57):
to the test. Did the devil stop there? No, he did.
And this is Jesus. We're talking about conversations between Jesus
and the devils. Again, the devastates them up to a
very high mountain and shows them all the kingdoms of
the world and their splendor. All this I will give you,
he said, as you would bow down and worship me,
Jesus says in the tenth Birth away from me Satan,
(16:19):
for it is written, worship the Lord your God and
serve him only so that lets us know that Satan
tries to tempt anyone as he did Jesus in the wilderness.
So back to the main text today numbers of twenty
second chapter. Initially, you see the prophet Belam did not
appear to be grave of what he knew God had
(16:39):
told him told him to do or not to do.
But did he think God would change his mind about
nine hud to curse god chosen people? You see the
eighteenth and nineteen, the birth Balong and the by lack servants.
Even if by Black bade me his house stuck with
silver and gold, I would day to the fire the
(17:00):
orders of my God to do anything, whether big or small.
But come along and stay with me tonight, as the
others did. I'll see what God would say to me
this time. So the twenty verse says God came to
Ballam that night and said, since these men have come
all the way to see you, go ahead and go
with them, but make sure you do absolutely nothing other
(17:24):
than what I tell you. I paused for a minute.
And when you think about this, but make sure you
do absolutely nothing other than what I tell you. Now
here's my question for you today tonight. Did God tell
Bylam to beat the donkey? Hmm? So the scripted picks
(17:44):
up in the twenty first and twenty third verse, and
this is where we're gonna be talking about the donkey. Okay.
Blam got up in the morning, salured his donkey, and
went off with a nobleman from Moab. As he was
going though, God's anger flared, the Angel of God stood
in the road to block his waves. Balong was riding
(18:06):
his donkey accompanied by two by two of his servants
when the donkey saw the angel blocking the roads and
brandishing a sword. See there, off the road and to
the ditch. Balong beat the donkey and got her back
on the road twenty fourth and twenty fifth first, but
as they were going through a vineyard with a fence
(18:28):
on either side, excusing dunkey again. So God's Angel blocking
the way and there and to the fence, crushing Belong's
foot against the fifth Balom hit her again, hit the
donkey again. The twenty six twenty seventh verse, God Angel
blocked the way yet again, a very narrow passage. This
(18:51):
time there was no getting through on the right or left.
Seeing the angel Balom, donkey sat there under him marksy
step of this time he beats the donkey with his
sick take a call for minutes. He need God's warning.
God gave the three warnings, but he wanted to keep
(19:12):
going and thought his dunkey was being stubborn. He thought
this dunk was being disobedient. He thought his dunkey was
being resistant to what he wanted him to do. God
does warn us today and this day. God wants us
through his precious Holy Spirit, when he wants us to listen,
when he wants us to move faith. But do we
heed these warnings all the time? We keep on doing
(19:34):
what we are doing, ignoring that small field bors And
then when we get in trouble, were asked, God, why
didn't you warn me? Why didn't you allow me to
do such and such? M That's another lesson for another day.
Heed into his Holy Spirit. What a wonderful gift that
Jesus left us. But do we to appreciate and accept
(19:54):
this gift of His holy spirits? Something to think about.
Back to the book of twenty six twenty seventh Chaps
twenty six twenty seventh verses the angel blocks the way
yet again I'm repeating this vers purpose and there narrow pass.
This time there was no getting through on the right
(20:15):
or left.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Stay the angel Doney sit down under him. Baalam lost
his temple. He beat the donkey battistick. Then God what eight? First?
Then God gave speech to the donkeys. God caused the
dunkey's mouth to open and she actually spoke. She said
to her massive alarm, what have I ever done to
(21:36):
you that you have beat me these three times? Blow answered,
because you have been playing games with me. If I
had a four I would have killed you by now.
The thirtieth first, the ducky said to balam Am, I
not your trusted donkey on whom you've written for years
right up until now. Have I ever done anything like
(21:57):
this to you before? Have I?
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Hm? Ballah replies to his donkey's nose. Okay, if I
ask to you right now here we are in twenty
twenty two, what's going on with you? Do you find
yourself in another trip situation?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
But have you forgotten that God? To feel?
Speaker 8 (22:16):
God?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Have you forgotten what He's already done for you? Have
you forgotten his problemses of yate and Amen? Didn't he
bring you through that other situations? Has He changed? If
you believe that God to feel God, why are you
questioning him? If you believe that God has not changed?
Why are you so fixated on not waity on God?
(22:38):
If you believe the gift of the Holy Spirit, why
don't you yield and seek his God? If you believe
that God has everything in control, why are you being
the dunky? Could it be, and I want you to
get this. Could it be that God brought a donkey
into your life to grow something up in you? Could
(23:01):
it be that this ducky is your throwing in the
sign to keep you up and focused. Could it be
that this ducky is then used to get you to
study God's word and to get you to obey God's
word Proverbs three, five and six. Trust and the Lord
with all your heart, and lead not to your own
understanding and all your way. Acknowledge Him, and He shall
(23:23):
direct your path. When it appears you are losing ground,
do you still trust Him with all your heart? When
it seems like all focus God? Do you buckop down?
And faith I will not be moved. Do you lead
not to your own understanding when it things that you
are all course? Do you, if notoledge God and ask
him for wisdom? Do you believe He will direct your
(23:45):
past when your situation seems die? Do you standy yourself
and they still knowing trust in the believing that God
is steal God, and then he may not. He will
not suffer your foot to be moved when the enemy
uses man to tip you to go off course? Do
you stand by God's would and allow scriptures to encourage you.
(24:06):
Don't you know you are more than a conqueror through
Christ last eight thirty seven. Don't be laid by anything
other than the spirit of God Lamas eighth fourteen. Walk
by faith and not by sight? Second Corenthius five to seven.
Don't you know you are redeemed from the hand of
the enemy? Some one O seven and two cat all
(24:28):
your chairs on Jesus like he is struck in first
Scriptures and so many others like them. Do you lie
the word to penetrate your heart and your mind? Do
you bring every thought into two captivity? Like second Corenthius
ten and five instructs us to do stop beating the
duty and stop praising God. Seek wisdom from God, stand
(24:49):
field and trust him. Ask him for guidance. See if
this is a roadblock from you, he won't steal you
in the wrong direction. Back to numbers the thirty first first,
then God have belonged to see what was going on.
He saw God's Angel blocking the way, brandishing a sword,
fell to the ground, his face in the dirty thirty
(25:13):
two and thirty three. God Angel said to him, why
have you beaten your poor donkey these three times? I
have come here to block your way because you're getting
wagged ahead of yourself. The donkey taught me and turned
away from me these three times. If he had not,
I would have killed you by this time, But not
the donkey. I would have let her. On thirty fourth first,
(25:36):
Blog said to God's Angel, I'm saying I had no
idea you were standing in the road blocking my way,
and you don't like what I'm doing. I'll head back
the thirty fifth first. But God's Angel said to belong
go ahead and go with them, but only say what
I tell you to say. Absolutely no of the words.
(25:58):
The dunkey's folks, it was terrified as seeing the Angel
of God with the forward drawn God opened his mouth
and he actually spoke. This donkey had been with Balah
for a long time, and even as the prophets affirmed,
she had never disobeyed him before this incident. The twenty
eighth first says, and God gave feature the dunkeys. He
(26:19):
said to Balah, when have I ever done to you? Said?
You have beat me these three times? And he responded,
because you were playing games with me. If I had
a spoord, I would have killed you by now. Then
the dunkey said to Byelah, Am, I not the trusty
donkey on who we written for years, pray up to now?
Have I ever done anything like this before? Have I?
(26:41):
Can you imagine? Can you imagine this position that the
poor scared Dunkeys bound herself in. She was struck into
a position of either obeying her master, her earthly master Balaam,
or being halted by the Angel of God. So, after
the angel blocked the way entirely, he sat down, she
stepped the game up and sat down. By doing so,
(27:03):
she actually saved the Law from being killed. What did
we learn from this story? The Law's eyes were blinded
so he could not see what his Donkey could see.
But this is Dunky had been with him for a
long time. Why did he didn't he realized there was
a logical explanation for his behavior. So Donkey wanted to
obey his master. He wanted to move forward, but he
(27:25):
was sucked by the angel of God. So how often
do you find yourself in a similar positions? If you're
not driving me the right that it's pleasing to God.
If you would rather rushed office to your day, doing
your own things and not seek the kingup of God
his righteousness, gonna miss it. If you do not renew
your mind helly by focusing all the things of God,
(27:47):
You're gonna miss it. If you hear con temptations rather
than the things that please God, you're going to miss this.
How often do you try to push your head when
God says no? How often will you try to push
your head when God says stand still? How many past
must God tell you no before you pause, stop and
decide to trust him? How often do you have a
(28:09):
chep of tande where things don't go your way? If
only your spiritual eyes could be opened. But isn't that
where faith and wisdom comes in? Is that what we
should speak from the Holy Spirit's health. If only we
would counsel from God, like James one tells to God
said he would give us wisdom and he would not
hold it back. That's in the first chapter of James.
(28:31):
Your prayers seemed to go in answers. But if only
you would trust him they seek his wisdom, your eyes
may be opened. Then you will understand how important it
is to stop beating the donkey sach correct for Chunter
says in the Sixteen Persons, Therefore we do not lose heart.
So outwardly we are wasting away, Yet inwardly we are
(28:53):
very loose day by day for our light and monetary
of troubles or afflictions even for us, and in turn
of glory that far upweighs them all. So we fix
our eyes not all what it seems, but on what
is unseen. Hit this. So we fix our eyes not
all what is seen, but what is unseen, since what
(29:15):
is seen is temporary, but what is unseen in eternal
Praise God. First John four fourth says, ye have little children.
Ye are of God and the children, and have overcome them.
Because greater is he that is in you than he
in the world, and I want to go to another continent.
Another Old Testament story in bout his second King, sixth chapter,
(29:39):
in sixteenth first, second team six chapters and the sixteenth
first let's I say, well, let's start in the eighth first. Now,
the Kina Arab a rap at walk Israel. I have
to confirmed with his office as he said, I was
set up a camp, my camp in such and such
a place. The Man of God said, word to the
(30:02):
King of Israel, beware a pass in that place, because
the Arabians are going down there. Tesh first, So the
King of Israel checked. I was the place indicated by
the Man of God. Time and again Eliza warned the king,
so that he was on his guard in such places.
Eleventh first, just enraged the king. He suffered his officers
(30:25):
in the manner of them. Tell me which of us
is on the side of the King of Israel. Trustford,
None of us, my lord, the King, said one of
his officers. But he learns um the private who is
is in Israel? Tell us the King of Israel, the
very word you speak in your bedroom, the very words
you speak in private. Don't find out where he is.
(30:48):
The king order so I could send them in and
capture him. The report came back and they told him
where he was. Then the king sent horses and cherry
us in the strong forest. There they went by night
and surrounding the city. And this is where I want
to get to. Fifteen. When the servant of the Man
of God got up and went out earlier the next morning,
(31:09):
and arm even horses and chariot had surrounded the city.
Oh no, my Lord, what shall we do? The servant ask,
don't be afraid. The prophet answers, those are those who
are with us are more than those who are with them.
And Elijah prayed opened his eyes Lord, so that he
may see. Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and
(31:32):
he looked, and so that he is full of horses
and chariots of fire all around the mission. So round
this message. Stop beating the dunk it be still. They
start in the Lord. Trust them with all your heart,
and lead not to your own understanding. You see, your
situation may may not look.

may see dismayor might seem terrible. But I say to you,
I want to remind you I want to carriage you.
Don't be moved by what you see, your characters, circumstances
should not dictate you your trust in God. Sure you've
(33:14):
got bills to pay, and there appears to be no
brain I said, there appears to be no way. Sure
your food supply may be getting those. Sometimes you may
get a little weary. Sure gas prices are ridiculous right now,
and sometimes you get a little weary. Sure there may
be times you Robin Peter to pay Paul. But don't
be moved by what you see. Don't be moved by
(33:34):
what you feel. Don't be moved by what you hear.
Stay tuned to the word of God. Knowing, trusted, and
believing that the best news outlet is the word of God.
And the word of God will reassure you that the
best it's still yet to come. Sure we be may
do it fortnight, But guess what joy I speak. My
joy will come from knowing, trusting and believing and our Savior,
(33:59):
and it would be manifested at the right time. God's timing,
not our timing. You see, in fight of pumping times
and bad news all around, God is still God. He's
still in control I want to carry somebody and fighting
what it may look like and spight of what it
might feel like. Inspite of what it might sound like.
God is still in control. He's still in control, and
(34:22):
he's still working things out for your good. You know,
this reminds me of the old song, and I would
I would just share some of the words of the
song that Andre Kraut said. The name of the title
of the song was through it All, and he's Andre
saying the start. I've had many periods as Sorry, many
of y'all don't know this song. I've had questions for tomorrow.
(34:46):
There have been times I did no right from wrong,
But in every situation God gave me black consolation that
my trials come to only make me strong. Then the
last course is I thank God for the fountains and
I think for the balance. I thank you for the
storm he brought me through. Get this for If I
never had a problem, I wouldn't know God could solve them.
(35:09):
I never know what faith in God could do. Stop
beating the donkey and stop praising God. Stop beating the
donkey and stop thanking God for the bountains and the valley.
Stop beating the donkey. And start worshiping God worst of him.
Why because of who he is. Worship him in spirit
and the truth, because of who he is. Stop beating
(35:29):
the donkey and start remembering all of his benefits. So
I remember what He's already done for you. And remember
God does not change. God is the same yesterday, today
and forever. He changes. Not he does change the heart
and mass of people. Stay in courage, my friend, there
is hope, stay in charge, feel good carriage. God was
spend in your heart. All you there, hope in the Lord,
(35:52):
Be in charage whatever comes your way. Step again, God's
feel in control. Be in charage, and remember that Christ,
it's no stolid n And then all of the crown
around you is thinking saying, don't persuaded that what the
world will saying today. Being charriaged my sister, Remember bless
it's the man. The trust is in the Lord, and
(36:12):
whose hope the Lord is being carriage my brother, And
just remember fool, God is fool. God is so Folkfully
you've gotten something good God, this message, something you could
chew on, something that when it carriage you. And for
those who have no idea what I've been talking about,
you've been listening up up to this point, and you
really don't have a personal relationship with God through his
(36:34):
son Jesus Christ. I want to tell you right now
you can do this, right now, this very moment, because
if you're hearing this message, it's not too late. Right
now he stands read of his arms ovement to welcome
you home. Botom line. If you're not saying and you're
not repented of your sins, accepted Jesus into your heart.
If you are not one who says sure that you
(36:56):
are fit to turn it in heaven, listen very closely.
Nobody can save you but Jesus. There is all the
one way to die, and that through his son Jesus Christ.
John fourteen and six. Jesus is speaking here, and he says,
I am the Way, the Truth, and the life. No
man comes to the Father but by me. Acts four
and twelve said neither is there salvation in any other
(37:20):
For there is none other name, excuse, and the heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved. So I
ask you this simple question, Are you saved? Are you
going again? Have you made the profession that Jesus Christ
is more you see? Ramas ten nine said that if
that's our professors that mouth the Lord Jesus, I shall
(37:41):
believe in our heart that God has raised them from
the dead. You shall be saved. Rama three ten. You
need to admit the to light sinner. But it says,
as it is Britain, there's not righteous, no, not one.
For your works can't save you. Your works cannot save you.
You need to be really to turn from you. And
that's true importing. I need to believe that Jesus Christ
(38:03):
died for you, that Jesus counsel is barren, and the
Jesus Christ is resirecord from the dead. But you see
Romost ten tents says from with the heart man believe
it's unto righteousness, and with the mouth profession is made
unto salvation through prayer. Right now, look at it, right
Jesus to come into your life to become your person stavior,
(38:24):
And what a wonderful, brand new life awaits you right
now for Romas ten thirteen cents. For whosoever and you are,
who's the ever to your call a mother name of
the Lord shall be saved. Well, do you afraid if
you're sincere, if you're not accept the Christ, if you're
not saved, if you're not born again, if you're not
wanting to say sure that, if you breathe your last
(38:45):
breath right now, you end up in having repeat this
prayer after me. Dear God, I'm a sinner and I
need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ had his precious
blood and died for my sins. So I'm willing to
turn from sin. I write Christ to come to my
(39:08):
heart and my life as my personal savior. If you
just did that, if you just trusted Jesus as your
person's saving Praise God. The agels in heaven are rejoicing
right now, and we when Christmas be talk ready, you
are rejoicing to you right now, right now, because that's
the best decision you've ever made. That's the best decisions
(39:31):
you've ever made. Now, read your Bible every day to
get to know Jesus better. Talk to God in prayer.
If you've accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and savior,
now only team you have the assurance that He is
now preparing a place for you. You can have the
assurance that there is rest in his arms. You can
have their shurance that there's restoration in your father's arms.
(39:53):
You can have their asurance and there's comfort. I speak
of a comfort and your father's own. And that's what
I want to remind you. That's what I want to
encourage you. That's why I was going to re assure
you that it's already all right. You have the power
now to stop beating the dust. You have the power
stop beating the dusky. Let us pray the Father. We

Switching and saving with Geico is easy, so you're freed
upon her life's big questions, like if a person can
get discombobulated, does that mean the rest of the time
they're just like it's combobulated? Are we humans always in
a state of combobulation until, of course something dramatic happens
and we are discombobulated for a while, then we go
(44:45):
back to being combobulated.
Speaker 4 (44:47):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (44:48):
How that works. Switch and save with Geico. It's easier
than you think. You could save big when you bundle
your homonadel with Progressive.
Speaker 2 (44:56):

she's doing and her teaching and stuff. At this time
of what we're gonna do, we're gonna turn everything over
to her. Minister Williams.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Praise the Lord. Reverend Rose, how are you, How are you?
And thank you so much? Well, welcome again. We are
so excited, delighted that once again you decide to join
us at this time. I really do count the privilege
to be part of wonderful network of brothers and sisters
in Christ on this when Christian Speak Talk radio ministry
(01:43):
was founded by Rebie Rayroads over nine years ago. Here
we expect people's lives to be changed in such a
way that they'll go out and help make a difference
in someone else's life. I hope you're doing that. The
tide of this particular program under when Christians speed is
His abounding grace, And I wanted to tell you a
(02:03):
little bit about that. That title was taken from Romans
the fifth chapter and the twenty first which reads where
more over the law enters that their offense might abound,
but where sin abound, it grace did much more abounds.
You know, his bounding grace is a marvelous gift, and
(02:26):
sometimes we take it for granted. But though we know
it's because of his grace, the second chances exist. It
is because of his grace that we are not consumed.
It is because of his grace. But the enemy is
all ready defeated. So instead of using his grape as
an opportunity to continue to sin, we should be continually
(02:46):
praise to God that through the depressions, blood of Jesus
Christ Great did much more about a man well that
broadcast is title stopped Feeding the Donkey. I know it
sounds like a praise this title, but just hanging there
with before a minute and you'll see where we're going
to visit. Taken from numbers the twenty second chapter. Let
(03:08):
us pray Heaven the Father. We thank you, Lord God.
We thank you Father for your grace and your mercy.
Lord God. We thank you because you're so awesome. Father.
We thank you for another opportunity to serve you, another
opportunity to share your word. Lord God, you told us
an your word that when it goes out, it will
never returned unto you. Board it would go out and
(03:31):
accomplished that which you have purpose for it to accomplish.
So we give you the honor, we give you the glory,
and we give you the praise. Lord God. The ears
would be open to receive and hear everything that you
have for them tonight, Lord God. And then we won't
just be hearers of the Word when we go out
and do what the Word says, do and Jesus say,
we pray thank you Lord. Amen. Amen. Well, my prayer
(03:55):
again is to just to encourage you, you know, just
breathen your relationship with God. And if you don't die
in the chance, if you don't have a personal relationship
with Him through his son Jesus Christ. Our prayer is
that this message will convict you and touch your heart
so that you would want to know Jesus for yourself.
Take a deep breath, take a step back, Relax, pause,
(04:22):
Stop trying to push your way through an unauthorized door,
a door that God has closed because He has something
better in store for you. Think back of your life.
Have you ever been in a relationship that you prayed about,
that you truly end up and married to bliss only
to get your heart broken? Then, after such disappointment, after
(04:46):
such despair, after much woe it around, after much woe
is Me, you later found that there is still life
in the vine. You find out that you want your love,
a love that has endured over for the some years
of a God filled marriage feel makes you smile. Only
God could do that. Think back over your life. Have
(05:08):
you ever been in a situation where just looked like
there was no way out? You cried, you prayed, you cry,
and you prayed some more, only to find out later
that you are much stronger because of it. You found
out that you were too had overcomer. You found out
that really was looking out for your good. That trial,
(05:29):
that's your relations, that test prepare you for something much greater.
Only God can do that. Think back over your life, parents,
did you ever have a way with child, A teen
who calls you to lay away many a night, A
teen who caused your heart to beat rapidly every time
the song would bring Only then years later that same child,
(05:52):
that same way with teams is now throwed out to
God and serving as a principle of a Christian high school.
Only God. Think that over your life, have you ever
gotten a rejection letter from an interview regarding the job
that do it so hoping would turn into an offer?
Seeing after much disappointment, after much moping around, after much
(06:15):
woe is me, you got a much better job offer.
Only God could do that. Get this. What you may
see as a rejection from God may just see a
close door, a roadblock to turn your attention, to turn
your eye for a different direction, something better, something greater
(06:36):
than you could ever hope or imagine. What you see
as a failure might just be a phenomenal setup for
the best come back ever. I'm just here to remind
you my brothers and my sisters. Don't be upset because
things are not going the way you think they should.
I'm just here to remind you oftentimes you are blessed
by what you don't see. I'm just here to remind
(06:59):
you or somebody that oftentimes what you frown upon may
be one of the best things that could have ever
happened to you. Oftentimes, whatever situation you sign yourself in
may be just the through their place the greatest opportunity
for you to shine and give God to glory. That trial,
(07:19):
that tribulation, that issue. What you see as a stubborn
donkey may just be a sid gud that you are
going in the raw direction. That may just be the
past that he has. That may not be the pants
and he is designed for you. So as the title
of the messagos, stop beating the donkey, stop seeing yourself
(07:40):
as a victim, and stop preparing yourself for the greatest
victory ever. That stubborn donkey in your life might just
be doing you a favor. Now, let's look at numbers
the twenty second chapter. Here in numbers of twenty second chapter,
we are introduced to two characters tune of people, but
the we're gonna be talking about this evening. We will
(08:02):
be introduced to Balloch, who's keen of Moab, and Balam,
who was a non Israelite, wicked but honest profits Balance
summons the prophet Balaam and ask that he put a
curse on God's people. Israelite Balich comes on the scene
and the context of the time of the Israelite's journey
(08:25):
to the promised land Moab, the land that Balance rules
lay on the east side of the Dead Sea. So
we're gonna start reading from the message fiber numbers twenty
two and one. The people of Israel marked on and
chat on the planes of Moab at Jordan, Jericho Alot,
(08:47):
son of Zeppel, learned of all that Israel had done
to the Ammorits. The people of Mohab were in a
total panic because of Israel. There were so many of them.
They were more spoke to the latest of media. Look,
this mark is going to clean us out a butt
(09:08):
of prose, picking of pockets clean.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Ballote's son of Zephyr, who was Keena Moen at that time,
sent in thesarias. I mean he sent messages to get
by Lum who lived at Pepthrow on the bank of
the Espirrhs River his homeland. So Belotsu, the king's missionary, said,
a people has come out up out of Egypt, and
(10:31):
they're all over the place, and they're crushing hard on me.
Come and curse them for me. They're too much for me.
Maybe then I can beat them. We'll attack and drive
them out of the country. You have a reputation. Those
you blessed, stay blessed. Those who you curse they cursed.
The seventh and the eighth verse says the leader of
(10:55):
Mohappan Libya was soon all their way with the fee
for the curking up safely in the woman. When they
got to Balaam, they gave him balance message. Stay here
for the night. He said, in the morning, I'll deliver
the answer that God gives me. The more nights nobles
(11:15):
stayed with him. Then the ninth verses, then God came
to Balaam. He asked, so, what are these men here
with you? Balaam answered black Son. There, for King of
Bold had sent them with the message. Look the people
that came up each all of the places, come and
(11:35):
curse them for me. Maybe then I'll be able to
attack and drab them out of the country. God said
to Balaam, don't go with them, and don't curse the others.
They are a black people. Thirteenth verse. The next morning,
Balom got up and told Balx lovers, go back home
(11:56):
if Jesus and give me permission to go with you
to the more like noble left came back to Ballot
the king and said blog wouldn't come with us. The
fifteenth to seventeen Versus says by Allah said another group
of nobles. He didn't ever give up, He says another
group of nobles, this time higher ranking and more distinguished.
(12:18):
They came to Balaam and said, Balent son of God
first left of the son of Zephyr, says, please don't
refuse to come to me our honor and reward you lavishly.
Anything you tell me to do our two I'll put anything.
Only come and curse this people that know something here.
(12:39):
You see the enemy is so true. He would try
to anything to get you to go against God's will.
If this first attempt failed, he would try to test
you with something else. In this case, when the king's
first sent a messenger sail because this is Allah to
come to ballot, the king said another group of nobles.
The second group were more high thanking and the stingers
(13:02):
than the first messages, and he increased a war amounts. Oh,
it may have found it enticed into belonged ears. It
may have been even more tempting than the first attempt.
But don't miss this point, Okay. The enemy wants you
to fail, and he knows that he can get you
off tracks if he can get you to take your
eyes of God, and he can get you to forget
(13:23):
what God has already promised you. He knows he's got
through in a position where it's just els are begging
to be scratched. He wants you to doubt godn't for it.
He wants you to forget that God, that what God
has blessed is blessed. Indeed, he wants you to forget
that God is a God of promise. He wants you
to forget that God is not a man, the God
(13:47):
that he should lie. What God has promised cannot be touched.
But the enemy is stopping nothing to try and get
you to lose hope. He will stopping nothing to get
you to waver between two opinions. He would stopping nothing
to get you to start doubting God. The enemy will
stoping nothing to bring you into submission again, just stop
(14:09):
nothing to get you to change your soul with I mean,
just take a look at at Genesis the third chapter,
how he tricked Adam and Eve. You know, you know
the story. And the serpent was more subtle than any
be for the field which the Lord made. And so
he says to the woman, yay, has God said you
shall not eat of every tree of the garden. Had
(14:29):
the woman said it to the serpent, we might eat
of the fruit of the tree of the garden. But
of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God has said you shall not
eat of it, neither shall you touch it. You die.
And then said to the woman, you should not surely die.
But God does know that in the day you eat thereof,
then your eyes shall be open, and you shall be
(14:51):
as God, knowing good and evil. Jesus himself, I was
going to say that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness
by the enemy tempty three times. And the Master of
the fourth chapter in the NIB version says Jesus laying
on the spirit and to the wilderness to be tempted
by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty
nine he was hungry. So the tempter came to him
(15:13):
and said, if you are the son of God, tell
these stones to become bred. What did Jesus say to him?
Jesus said, it is written, man shall not live on
bread alone, but on every word that comes to the
mouth of God. Did the enemy stop there, No, he
did not. The fifth verst says, the devastates him up
to the holy knitting and had him staying on the
(15:36):
highest point of the temple. If you are the son
of God, he says, throw yourself down, for it is
written he would command his angels concerning you, and they
will lift you up in their hands, that you will
not strike your foot against a stone. Jesus answers. It
is also written, do not put the Lord your God
(15:57):
to the test. Did the devil stop there? No, he did.
And this is Jesus. We're talking about conversations between Jesus
and the devils. Again, the devastates them up to a
very high mountain and shows them all the kingdoms of
the world and their splendor. All this I will give you,
he said, as you would bow down and worship me,
Jesus says in the tenth Birth away from me Satan,
(16:19):
for it is written, worship the Lord your God and
serve him only so that lets us know that Satan
tries to tempt anyone as he did Jesus in the wilderness.
So back to the main text today numbers of twenty
second chapter. Initially, you see the prophet Belam did not
appear to be grave of what he knew God had
(16:39):
told him told him to do or not to do.
But did he think God would change his mind about
nine hud to curse god chosen people? You see the
eighteenth and nineteen, the birth Balong and the by lack servants.
Even if by Black bade me his house stuck with
silver and gold, I would day to the fire the
(17:00):
orders of my God to do anything, whether big or small.
But come along and stay with me tonight, as the
others did. I'll see what God would say to me
this time. So the twenty verse says God came to
Ballam that night and said, since these men have come
all the way to see you, go ahead and go
with them, but make sure you do absolutely nothing other
(17:24):
than what I tell you. I paused for a minute.
And when you think about this, but make sure you
do absolutely nothing other than what I tell you. Now
here's my question for you today tonight. Did God tell
Bylam to beat the donkey? Hmm? So the scripted picks
(17:44):
up in the twenty first and twenty third verse, and
this is where we're gonna be talking about the donkey. Okay.
Blam got up in the morning, salured his donkey, and
went off with a nobleman from Moab. As he was
going though, God's anger flared, the Angel of God stood
in the road to block his waves. Balong was riding
(18:06):
his donkey accompanied by two by two of his servants
when the donkey saw the angel blocking the roads and
brandishing a sword. See there, off the road and to
the ditch. Balong beat the donkey and got her back
on the road twenty fourth and twenty fifth first, but
as they were going through a vineyard with a fence
(18:28):
on either side, excusing dunkey again. So God's Angel blocking
the way and there and to the fence, crushing Belong's
foot against the fifth Balom hit her again, hit the
donkey again. The twenty six twenty seventh verse, God Angel
blocked the way yet again, a very narrow passage. This
(18:51):
time there was no getting through on the right or left.
Seeing the angel Balom, donkey sat there under him marksy
step of this time he beats the donkey with his
sick take a call for minutes. He need God's warning.
God gave the three warnings, but he wanted to keep
(19:12):
going and thought his dunkey was being stubborn. He thought
this dunk was being disobedient. He thought his dunkey was
being resistant to what he wanted him to do. God
does warn us today and this day. God wants us
through his precious Holy Spirit, when he wants us to listen,
when he wants us to move faith. But do we
heed these warnings all the time? We keep on doing
(19:34):
what we are doing, ignoring that small field bors And
then when we get in trouble, were asked, God, why
didn't you warn me? Why didn't you allow me to
do such and such? M That's another lesson for another day.
Heed into his Holy Spirit. What a wonderful gift that
Jesus left us. But do we to appreciate and accept
(19:54):
this gift of His holy spirits? Something to think about.
Back to the book of twenty six twenty seventh Chaps
twenty six twenty seventh verses the angel blocks the way
yet again I'm repeating this vers purpose and there narrow pass.
This time there was no getting through on the right
(20:15):
or left.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Stay the angel Doney sit down under him. Baalam lost
his temple. He beat the donkey battistick. Then God what eight? First?
Then God gave speech to the donkeys. God caused the
dunkey's mouth to open and she actually spoke. She said
to her massive alarm, what have I ever done to
(21:36):
you that you have beat me these three times? Blow answered,
because you have been playing games with me. If I
had a four I would have killed you by now.
The thirtieth first, the ducky said to balam Am, I
not your trusted donkey on whom you've written for years
right up until now. Have I ever done anything like
(21:57):
this to you before? Have I?
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Hm? Ballah replies to his donkey's nose. Okay, if I
ask to you right now here we are in twenty
twenty two, what's going on with you? Do you find
yourself in another trip situation?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
But have you forgotten that God? To feel?
Speaker 8 (22:16):
God?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Have you forgotten what He's already done for you? Have
you forgotten his problemses of yate and Amen? Didn't he
bring you through that other situations? Has He changed? If
you believe that God to feel God, why are you
questioning him? If you believe that God has not changed?
Why are you so fixated on not waity on God?
(22:38):
If you believe the gift of the Holy Spirit, why
don't you yield and seek his God? If you believe
that God has everything in control, why are you being
the dunky? Could it be, and I want you to
get this. Could it be that God brought a donkey
into your life to grow something up in you? Could
(23:01):
it be that this ducky is your throwing in the
sign to keep you up and focused. Could it be
that this ducky is then used to get you to
study God's word and to get you to obey God's
word Proverbs three, five and six. Trust and the Lord
with all your heart, and lead not to your own
understanding and all your way. Acknowledge Him, and He shall
(23:23):
direct your path. When it appears you are losing ground,
do you still trust Him with all your heart? When
it seems like all focus God? Do you buckop down?
And faith I will not be moved. Do you lead
not to your own understanding when it things that you
are all course? Do you, if notoledge God and ask
him for wisdom? Do you believe He will direct your
(23:45):
past when your situation seems die? Do you standy yourself
and they still knowing trust in the believing that God
is steal God, and then he may not. He will
not suffer your foot to be moved when the enemy
uses man to tip you to go off course? Do
you stand by God's would and allow scriptures to encourage you.
(24:06):
Don't you know you are more than a conqueror through
Christ last eight thirty seven. Don't be laid by anything
other than the spirit of God Lamas eighth fourteen. Walk
by faith and not by sight? Second Corenthius five to seven.
Don't you know you are redeemed from the hand of
the enemy? Some one O seven and two cat all
(24:28):
your chairs on Jesus like he is struck in first
Scriptures and so many others like them. Do you lie
the word to penetrate your heart and your mind? Do
you bring every thought into two captivity? Like second Corenthius
ten and five instructs us to do stop beating the
duty and stop praising God. Seek wisdom from God, stand
(24:49):
field and trust him. Ask him for guidance. See if
this is a roadblock from you, he won't steal you
in the wrong direction. Back to numbers the thirty first first,
then God have belonged to see what was going on.
He saw God's Angel blocking the way, brandishing a sword,
fell to the ground, his face in the dirty thirty
(25:13):
two and thirty three. God Angel said to him, why
have you beaten your poor donkey these three times? I
have come here to block your way because you're getting
wagged ahead of yourself. The donkey taught me and turned
away from me these three times. If he had not,
I would have killed you by this time, But not
the donkey. I would have let her. On thirty fourth first,
(25:36):
Blog said to God's Angel, I'm saying I had no
idea you were standing in the road blocking my way,
and you don't like what I'm doing. I'll head back
the thirty fifth first. But God's Angel said to belong
go ahead and go with them, but only say what
I tell you to say. Absolutely no of the words.
(25:58):
The dunkey's folks, it was terrified as seeing the Angel
of God with the forward drawn God opened his mouth
and he actually spoke. This donkey had been with Balah
for a long time, and even as the prophets affirmed,
she had never disobeyed him before this incident. The twenty
eighth first says, and God gave feature the dunkeys. He
(26:19):
said to Balah, when have I ever done to you? Said?
You have beat me these three times? And he responded,
because you were playing games with me. If I had
a spoord, I would have killed you by now. Then
the dunkey said to Byelah, Am, I not the trusty
donkey on who we written for years, pray up to now?
Have I ever done anything like this before? Have I?
(26:41):
Can you imagine? Can you imagine this position that the
poor scared Dunkeys bound herself in. She was struck into
a position of either obeying her master, her earthly master Balaam,
or being halted by the Angel of God. So, after
the angel blocked the way entirely, he sat down, she
stepped the game up and sat down. By doing so,
(27:03):
she actually saved the Law from being killed. What did
we learn from this story? The Law's eyes were blinded
so he could not see what his Donkey could see.
But this is Dunky had been with him for a
long time. Why did he didn't he realized there was
a logical explanation for his behavior. So Donkey wanted to
obey his master. He wanted to move forward, but he
(27:25):
was sucked by the angel of God. So how often
do you find yourself in a similar positions? If you're
not driving me the right that it's pleasing to God.
If you would rather rushed office to your day, doing
your own things and not seek the kingup of God
his righteousness, gonna miss it. If you do not renew
your mind helly by focusing all the things of God,
(27:47):
You're gonna miss it. If you hear con temptations rather
than the things that please God, you're going to miss this.
How often do you try to push your head when
God says no? How often will you try to push
your head when God says stand still? How many past
must God tell you no before you pause, stop and
decide to trust him? How often do you have a
(28:09):
chep of tande where things don't go your way? If
only your spiritual eyes could be opened. But isn't that
where faith and wisdom comes in? Is that what we
should speak from the Holy Spirit's health. If only we
would counsel from God, like James one tells to God
said he would give us wisdom and he would not
hold it back. That's in the first chapter of James.
(28:31):
Your prayers seemed to go in answers. But if only
you would trust him they seek his wisdom, your eyes
may be opened. Then you will understand how important it
is to stop beating the donkey sach correct for Chunter
says in the Sixteen Persons, Therefore we do not lose heart.
So outwardly we are wasting away, Yet inwardly we are
(28:53):
very loose day by day for our light and monetary
of troubles or afflictions even for us, and in turn
of glory that far upweighs them all. So we fix
our eyes not all what it seems, but on what
is unseen. Hit this. So we fix our eyes not
all what is seen, but what is unseen, since what
(29:15):
is seen is temporary, but what is unseen in eternal
Praise God. First John four fourth says, ye have little children.
Ye are of God and the children, and have overcome them.
Because greater is he that is in you than he
in the world, and I want to go to another continent.
Another Old Testament story in bout his second King, sixth chapter,
(29:39):
in sixteenth first, second team six chapters and the sixteenth
first let's I say, well, let's start in the eighth first. Now,
the Kina Arab a rap at walk Israel. I have
to confirmed with his office as he said, I was
set up a camp, my camp in such and such
a place. The Man of God said, word to the
(30:02):
King of Israel, beware a pass in that place, because
the Arabians are going down there. Tesh first, So the
King of Israel checked. I was the place indicated by
the Man of God. Time and again Eliza warned the king,
so that he was on his guard in such places.
Eleventh first, just enraged the king. He suffered his officers
(30:25):
in the manner of them. Tell me which of us
is on the side of the King of Israel. Trustford,
None of us, my lord, the King, said one of
his officers. But he learns um the private who is
is in Israel? Tell us the King of Israel, the
very word you speak in your bedroom, the very words
you speak in private. Don't find out where he is.
(30:48):
The king order so I could send them in and
capture him. The report came back and they told him
where he was. Then the king sent horses and cherry
us in the strong forest. There they went by night
and surrounding the city. And this is where I want
to get to. Fifteen. When the servant of the Man
of God got up and went out earlier the next morning,
(31:09):
and arm even horses and chariot had surrounded the city.
Oh no, my Lord, what shall we do? The servant ask,
don't be afraid. The prophet answers, those are those who
are with us are more than those who are with them.
And Elijah prayed opened his eyes Lord, so that he
may see. Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and
(31:32):
he looked, and so that he is full of horses
and chariots of fire all around the mission. So round
this message. Stop beating the dunk it be still. They
start in the Lord. Trust them with all your heart,
and lead not to your own understanding. You see, your
situation may may not look.

may see dismayor might seem terrible. But I say to you,
I want to remind you I want to carriage you.
Don't be moved by what you see, your characters, circumstances
should not dictate you your trust in God. Sure you've
(33:14):
got bills to pay, and there appears to be no
brain I said, there appears to be no way. Sure
your food supply may be getting those. Sometimes you may
get a little weary. Sure gas prices are ridiculous right now,
and sometimes you get a little weary. Sure there may
be times you Robin Peter to pay Paul. But don't
be moved by what you see. Don't be moved by
(33:34):
what you feel. Don't be moved by what you hear.
Stay tuned to the word of God. Knowing, trusted, and
believing that the best news outlet is the word of God.
And the word of God will reassure you that the
best it's still yet to come. Sure we be may
do it fortnight, But guess what joy I speak. My
joy will come from knowing, trusting and believing and our Savior,
(33:59):
and it would be manifested at the right time. God's timing,
not our timing. You see, in fight of pumping times
and bad news all around, God is still God. He's
still in control I want to carry somebody and fighting
what it may look like and spight of what it
might feel like. Inspite of what it might sound like.
God is still in control. He's still in control, and
(34:22):
he's still working things out for your good. You know,
this reminds me of the old song, and I would
I would just share some of the words of the
song that Andre Kraut said. The name of the title
of the song was through it All, and he's Andre
saying the start. I've had many periods as Sorry, many
of y'all don't know this song. I've had questions for tomorrow.
(34:46):
There have been times I did no right from wrong,
But in every situation God gave me black consolation that
my trials come to only make me strong. Then the
last course is I thank God for the fountains and
I think for the balance. I thank you for the
storm he brought me through. Get this for If I
never had a problem, I wouldn't know God could solve them.
(35:09):
I never know what faith in God could do. Stop
beating the donkey and stop praising God. Stop beating the
donkey and stop thanking God for the bountains and the valley.
Stop beating the donkey. And start worshiping God worst of him.
Why because of who he is. Worship him in spirit
and the truth, because of who he is. Stop beating
(35:29):
the donkey and start remembering all of his benefits. So
I remember what He's already done for you. And remember
God does not change. God is the same yesterday, today
and forever. He changes. Not he does change the heart
and mass of people. Stay in courage, my friend, there
is hope, stay in charge, feel good carriage. God was
spend in your heart. All you there, hope in the Lord,
(35:52):
Be in charage whatever comes your way. Step again, God's
feel in control. Be in charage, and remember that Christ,
it's no stolid n And then all of the crown
around you is thinking saying, don't persuaded that what the
world will saying today. Being charriaged my sister, Remember bless
it's the man. The trust is in the Lord, and
(36:12):
whose hope the Lord is being carriage my brother, And
just remember fool, God is fool. God is so Folkfully
you've gotten something good God, this message, something you could
chew on, something that when it carriage you. And for
those who have no idea what I've been talking about,
you've been listening up up to this point, and you
really don't have a personal relationship with God through his
(36:34):
son Jesus Christ. I want to tell you right now
you can do this, right now, this very moment, because
if you're hearing this message, it's not too late. Right
now he stands read of his arms ovement to welcome
you home. Botom line. If you're not saying and you're
not repented of your sins, accepted Jesus into your heart.
If you are not one who says sure that you
(36:56):
are fit to turn it in heaven, listen very closely.
Nobody can save you but Jesus. There is all the
one way to die, and that through his son Jesus Christ.
John fourteen and six. Jesus is speaking here, and he says,
I am the Way, the Truth, and the life. No
man comes to the Father but by me. Acts four
and twelve said neither is there salvation in any other
(37:20):
For there is none other name, excuse, and the heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved. So I
ask you this simple question, Are you saved? Are you
going again? Have you made the profession that Jesus Christ
is more you see? Ramas ten nine said that if
that's our professors that mouth the Lord Jesus, I shall
(37:41):
believe in our heart that God has raised them from
the dead. You shall be saved. Rama three ten. You
need to admit the to light sinner. But it says,
as it is Britain, there's not righteous, no, not one.
For your works can't save you. Your works cannot save you.
You need to be really to turn from you. And
that's true importing. I need to believe that Jesus Christ
(38:03):
died for you, that Jesus counsel is barren, and the
Jesus Christ is resirecord from the dead. But you see
Romost ten tents says from with the heart man believe
it's unto righteousness, and with the mouth profession is made
unto salvation through prayer. Right now, look at it, right
Jesus to come into your life to become your person stavior,
(38:24):
And what a wonderful, brand new life awaits you right
now for Romas ten thirteen cents. For whosoever and you are,
who's the ever to your call a mother name of
the Lord shall be saved. Well, do you afraid if
you're sincere, if you're not accept the Christ, if you're
not saved, if you're not born again, if you're not
wanting to say sure that, if you breathe your last
(38:45):
breath right now, you end up in having repeat this
prayer after me. Dear God, I'm a sinner and I
need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ had his precious
blood and died for my sins. So I'm willing to
turn from sin. I write Christ to come to my
(39:08):
heart and my life as my personal savior. If you
just did that, if you just trusted Jesus as your
person's saving Praise God. The agels in heaven are rejoicing
right now, and we when Christmas be talk ready, you
are rejoicing to you right now, right now, because that's
the best decision you've ever made. That's the best decisions
(39:31):
you've ever made. Now, read your Bible every day to
get to know Jesus better. Talk to God in prayer.
If you've accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and savior,
now only team you have the assurance that He is
now preparing a place for you. You can have the
assurance that there is rest in his arms. You can
have their shurance that there's restoration in your father's arms.
(39:53):
You can have their asurance and there's comfort. I speak
of a comfort and your father's own. And that's what
I want to remind you. That's what I want to
encourage you. That's why I was going to re assure
you that it's already all right. You have the power
now to stop beating the dust. You have the power

Speaker 8 (44:24):
Switching and saving with Geico is easy, so you're freed
upon her life's big questions, like if a person can
get discombobulated, does that mean the rest of the time
they're just like it's combobulated? Are we humans always in
a state of combobulation until, of course something dramatic happens
and we are discombobulated for a while, then we go
(44:45):
back to being combobulated.
Speaker 4 (44:47):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (44:48):
How that works. Switch and save with Geico. It's easier
than you think. You could save big when you bundle
your homonadel with Progressive.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
But when we just come out and say it, it
feels like it falls a bit flat.
