Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, come back to the Transforming Live Bible radio show.
You're listening to your oath dr.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
V Amen, Amen, Amen.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And as always there is a word from the Lord,
and tonight has been led by the Holy Spirit. We
are going to be studying from the Book of Proverbs
Proverbs chapter twenty three, verses seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen. And
(04:55):
of course, as we go throughout the Bible study, we
will be pulling in the other scriptures that will support
our lesson on tonight. And the scripture from Proverbs twenty
three seventeen through nineteen reads, let not thine heart in
these sinners, but be thou in the fear of the
(05:18):
Lord all the day.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Long, for surely there is an end, and thine.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Expectations shall not be cut off. Verse nineteen says here thou,
my son.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And be wise and guide thine heart in the race.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The Word read for the people of God by permission
of the Holy Spirit. And with this help and di
Thine Goddess, tonight we want to talk with us on
the topic God our sustainer, God our Sustainer. And as
(06:03):
we introduce this lesson tonight in these passages, we are
commanded to fear the Lord and trust him in every situation.
When we trust him, he will give us victory over everybody,
(06:23):
granting us rest and a peace that pass all understanding.
He will crush Satan and all demonic forces as he
sustains us from the entrapment of every principality, with power
(06:45):
to put them under our feet. And as God, our sustainer,
has promised, he will not allow the enemy to triumph
over us. As the people of God, we need to
(07:07):
learn how to hold on to his unchanging hand.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
God promises to bringing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
In to all injustices that we have to endure. He
promised to answer when we cry out to Him in
prayer when we are distressed by the cares of this
evil and wicked world. Also, he promised to one day
(07:41):
in all.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Manner of illness, sickness, disease, wickedness, and grant justice to
those that love, trust, and cern Him.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Now, as we dieing to the passages, we are depending
on the Holy Spirit to draw his divine presence with
us tonight on this line and will illuminate what these
passages means for our lives on tonight. His message in
(08:22):
this particular Passions verse seventeen is to his people concerning sinners,
we are told to hold fast, standing awe and reverence
God's greatness is mercy, is grace, and his peace. Instead
(08:47):
of focusing on and envying the actions of our enemies
as well as sinners, because he is our sustainer, we
should acknowledge that he is our Jehovah Nissi, which means
(09:11):
that he is our banner. He's our protector and our defender,
as the stated in Psalm thirty seven, verse one and two.
There it tells us to fret not thyself because of evadulas.
(09:36):
Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity, for
they shall soon not later, but they shall soon be
cut down like the grass, and wither as the green earth.
(09:59):
One other support passage concerning verse seventeen comes from Proverbs
chapter twenty eight, verses thirteen and foteen. There it tells
us he that covereth his sin shall not prosper, But
(10:22):
who's so confesses and osaked them shall have mercy from God.
Happy is the man that feareth always, But he that
heartedness his heart shall fall into mischief. We're about to
(10:44):
learn the importance of not being so caught up and
focusing so much of our attention on the ways of
the sinner. We don't even need to focus on their sin,
because the only one who can control them as well
(11:09):
as deliver them out of their sinful way is God.
Our sustain them as His people. We just need to
ensure that we are not walking in the way of
the sinner man and saying that God is our father
(11:33):
because we can't straddle defense. Oh well, yes we can.
We can straddle offense, but that that is so unacceptable
to God, because He will sustain our feet on one side.
We're going to stand on the side that is right,
(11:55):
or we're going to stand on the side that it
is wrong. But we choose God's way. He will sustain us.
See God our sustaining he promised the children of Israel,
which the same promise is applicable to his people of
(12:17):
the date he promised in Psalm forty six, verses nine
through eleven. He missed some promises there, and I want
us to hear it real good. The verse nine says
he maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth.
(12:41):
He breaketh the boat and cut it the spear. In sunder,
he burned the chariot in the fire. Verse ten says
be still and note that I am God. I will
(13:03):
be exalted in the earth. The Lord of Hosts is
with us. The God of Jacob is our refuse. So
the same thing that he was to the children of Israel,
he is the same thing to us to date, and
(13:27):
he has the power to extend all of his blessings
to us whenever we choose. We have to choose to
turn away.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
From our wicked weeds.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But at the same time, while not standing in judgment
of the sinner man, we must be alight for them,
to guide them out of those dark places into Jesus Christ,
so that they can learn learn that God is also
(14:01):
willing to sustain them if they be willing to come
out of their skin. We need to know that God
is our sustainers, not our job, not our pastors, not
our leadership, not the White House, not those that are
(14:23):
the politicians that sit in the White House. They are
not our sustain us.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
But God and God alone is our.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Sustainer in every battle and will not hear me.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Will not is his promise.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
He will not allow the adversary to overtake us. We
must not san We must not stand in our own strength,
but recognize that God and God alone is our strength
(15:05):
like no other. As well as he kills our sustaining.
Our sustaining is just another way of saying he is
our keypers Yes, he keeps us. When we want to
be kept hell the luyer, we must tell the luyers
(15:26):
understand that in him being our strength, know that he
is also our salvation. Therefore, hold on to his our hands.
Our sustainer promised at Isdeah fifteen four and seventeen, the
(15:50):
same promise there that was made to the children of Israel.
It is still applicable to his children today. And he
promised at Isaiah fifty four and seventeen, saying this no
weapon that is formed against THEE shall prosper, and every
(16:13):
tongue that shall rise against Thee in judgment thy shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Now
(16:34):
that's a my fault right there, talking about a real
tall promise death.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
So then if God, well he's saying, if he be for.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Us, and if he is owned on our side, then
who can prevail against us?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I want to answer that quote, nobody or nothing or
anything we will be able to prevail against us. As
God continues to show us grace and mercy, says, only
because of His great and mercy that he even sustain us.
(17:23):
Is not because of who we are, is not because
of how much the money we make. Is not because
of we came from the right family, or that we
came off of the right side of the tracts, not
because of the kind of call three drive, or even
the homes that we live in. But he continues, by
(17:44):
grace and mercy, we should take comfort in knowing.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
That his promises to us are ya and amen.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Once God make the promise to us, he will not
take it back. He will not renege on his promises.
Because every promise that the God makes it is and
shall be as even now is being fulfilled in his
(18:18):
son Jesus Christ. So we should take comfort in that,
knowing that when he make that promise, when he gives
us the words and he tells us that he is
going to do this, he is going to do just
what he says. And why can we guarantee that he
will do what he says? Because the Bible said that
(18:40):
his word is immutable. What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Bishop? That means once God speak.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Of words, he cannot change it. He obligates himself to
follow through with whatever he's say. And if he obligates
himself to follow through with the promise that he meets,
he obligates himself to sustain us when we choose them,
(19:12):
when the storms, triumphs, and trivilations of.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
This life a rite.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh, I don't know about you, but I be kind
omitted and still encounter trials and privilations now. And I
fear pretty sure some of y'all on this line have
had to endure something that you thought.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Lord, Am I ever gonna come out of this blood?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
When the storms, the trials, and triboliations, the lights.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
When they are ride.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Remember what the Psalm is declared concerning God, our sustainers,
what he said there in Psalm one O seven, Verses
twenty nine through thirty one. The scripture says, he maketh
a storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
(20:17):
They are the lad because they be quiet, So he
bringeth them unto their desired haven. And Verse thirty one
says all that men would praise the Lord for his
goodness and for his wonderful works. To the children of men.
(20:43):
He gives us a purpose to praise Him, and the
purposing our praising him, and we will rejoice and we
will praise him freely because we have come to realize
that I have a far that no matter what rises
up gets me, he will sustain me in, through and
(21:10):
out of it all. He don't just keep us one day.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Of the week.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
He just don't keep us on Tuesday Night during the
Transforming Life Bible Study. He don't just keep us whatever
night that of the week that we fellowship in our
respect the Bible studies, with our respective places of worship.
He don't just sustain us on Sunday or on whatever
day you choose to worship him. But he is our
(21:37):
sustainer every day. Whiny four our date, come what me?
He will never put the burden on you and I
to keep our shell. Why because we does not have
totally what we need to keep ourself. We have much knowledge,
(22:03):
we have much understanding, but that knowledge and understanding is
not greater than that of God, our sustainer. People of God,
never let go of God's hands, for he has shown
and continues to show so much grace and mercy towards us.
(22:28):
We should spend time giving thanks unto him, praise and
worship him, because he is the one who continuously sustains us.
Stop focusing on what is going on in the world
(22:50):
that is negative energy. Now we are not saying don't
make yourself aware of your surroundings, what's going on in
your environment, what's going on in your country and all,
what's going on in your nation.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yes, we need to keep.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Ourselves informed, but we don't need to focus on these things.
Why because we have no control over them. That is
why we need the grace of our sustainer God when
we are having to deal with these worldly distractions that
(23:32):
bring negative engines. These energies again, are distractions, and though
they be real, realize tonight that the enemy has sent
them chaotically to deflect our attention away from the promises
(23:54):
of all Mighty God. Continue to lift up your head
and look to the years from where all your health
come from, and stay focused on God. Trust in his promises.
There's a reason to trust in his promises.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Why, because He.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Alone is our sustainer of life. Now, the above explanations
that was just given in support of our contacts. Verse
seventeen reminds us, as recorded in Proverbs twenty eight thirteen
(24:38):
through fourteen, that the person who will not acknowledge their
fins and speak to hide them instead and make excuses
for themselves as to why they find they will never
be converted or know the lessons of God as their
(25:03):
sustain But.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
There is a flood in not hiding our sin.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But exposing them, confessing them unto God, asking for his forgivenness,
turn away from him, and believing that He has heard
us and have forgiven us. Then we move on in
our life and continue to serve Him. So therefore, the
(25:37):
persons who confesses and forsakes again men to turn away
from their sin, will be some vitous will be excessed
into the family of God, physical characters that sin and
(25:59):
true by to cover up their sin, and they got
themselves in trouble with the law. We're going to give
two examples the night that we're very familiar with. The
first one we're going to look at is Adam. Oh,
we remember at all the first human there that God
(26:20):
created in the earth.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Adam.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
We know what he did in a nutshell. He of
the treat of knowledge of good and evil after God
had forbidden him.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
To do so, and when God came to visit with
him in the garden of Eden.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
That's what happened.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Adam attempted to hide himself from God because he had
sin again God's command.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And how many of us think that we can hide
from the Lord when we don't miss up and we
don't do something that the Lord has told us not
to do, and when we look at his words that
have been provided to us by the way of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ talking about the Bible, when we
(27:24):
know what his words tells us when we indulge in
the rays of the world, how many of us think
that we can hide what.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
We have done from the Lord.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We cannot hide from him, for the Bible tells us
that the eyes of the Lord are in every place,
so he sees everything we do. He sees everywhere we go.
But we guess what that's a plus. He also sees
our heart and many time we were strolling him. Oh,
(28:00):
we might still desire to stop falling. He sees that
desire in our hearts. Even when we continue to fall,
and we continue to serve him, continue to cry out
to him, learn how to trust him. Eventually we will
learn how to stand and come out of those sins
(28:23):
that keep us in vomits. Our second example is King
Oh y'all remember can Able's brother Adam.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
And Eve's son or he was a bad boy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
He did something bad. Can kill his brother Abel out
of jealousy, able to do anything to him. But our
of jealousy, Kane turned on his brother Abel and took
his life.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Now what brought about this jealousy?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
When they had to bring and present unto the Lord
their offerings, God received the offering that Abel gave to
him as a gift, but he rejected Kin left us.
In other words, what Abel did? He gave God his best.
(29:28):
Can offered to the Lord. What Can thought God wounded?
He was very selfish in his gifting to the Lord,
Lord Hembercy.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
And he killed his brother.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And when God asked him where was his brother? For
his brood cried out from the earth. Can became indignant,
and he became fart again in his response to the law.
(30:06):
And he said next, some of us probably would have done,
am I my brother's keeper? Well, we are our brother's keepers.
Yes we are, because the word of God tells us
that you, who are strong in the faith, we ought
to bear the infirmity of the week.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
We need to understand.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
That God as our sustainers. He knows all things. He
is omnipotent, He is omnoist the end, He is omni president.
So there is nothing that we can do that can
get past him, and there is certainly nothing we could
(30:53):
do that we can hide it from his sight.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
He will require wire truth.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
When we are confronted about our mistakes, whether they were
intentional or whether they were on intentional. God only want
us to tell the truth and be honest because he
already knows what we have done. He is always willing
(31:22):
to forgive us and grant us new mercy and grace.
But we must respond with humility in acknowledging what we
have done. It is his will and desire for us
(31:43):
to be honest and focus our attention on His goodness
and his grace. Wow we are honest enough to acknowledge
the frailty in who we are without him. When the
Lord does not sustain us, we are as frail as
(32:07):
a ship on the sea. Without a sail. We will
be tossed about to and throw when the storm rising,
when the waters are raging, and when the strong winds
are blown. It is the sail that feeds the pibotal
point to where the wind can blow into that sail
to keep that stick, keep that boat balanced. But when
(32:30):
we don't have a sail, I mean when we don't
have a sustainer, When we don't have a keeper, we
will be tossed to and fro in this world by
the chres and the sin of this world. Let me
look a little closer at verse eighteen. In verse eighteen,
(32:54):
his message is that he is a keeper of his world.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
He's not like us. We make got a lot of promises,
but so many we don't keep.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
But as our sustainer, he always keeps his words. When
we trust him and take heed to his word, he
promises to present us as his very own, ending all
(33:26):
chaotic distractions that had us in spiritual bondage. He will
locate and announce us right in the midst of our
battles by state. Expect good outcomes.
Speaker 8 (33:46):
Believe in that everything happening in our lives now will
one day come to an end with the help of God,
our or sustainer.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
God promised us a future fill with hope that lives
and less eternity. We must embrace the word spoken at
Isaiah chapter forty one, verses ten through thirteen, which says,
(34:23):
this feels thou not, but I am with THEE. Be
not dismayed.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
But I am thy God.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I will strengthen THEE.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yea, I will help thee.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
YEA, I will uphold THEE with the right hand of
my righteousness. Behold, all they that were insissed against THEE
shall be ashamed and confounded. They shall be as nothing,
(35:05):
And they that thrive with THEE shall perish.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Verse twelve says thou.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Shalt seek them and shall not find them, even them
that contented with THEE. They that war against THEE shall
be as nothing and as a thing of naught. For I,
(35:36):
the Lord, thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying,
unto THEE, spare not, I will help shoot. That is
what our sustainer does in every conflict that we may
(35:58):
have to encounter because of the sinner, or because of
our enemy, or because of attacks that.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Have been sent to us by Statom.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
The Lord said in those one, two, three four words,
I will help THEE. When God, our sustainer, provides so
much a multiplicity for his children, who would even conceivable
(36:31):
let it go of his ain? His promise protection and
defense from our enemy rules him to be a faithful father.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Because we though that we're honest.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
We are not always faithful unto God, but He is
always faithful unto us. Why because He loves and cares
about us. He first Corinth in ten verse thirteen, the
apostle Paul's thoughts, They'll have no temptation taken you, but
(37:16):
such as is common to man. But God is faithful.
He said, not about man, be faithful, But God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted above that
you are able, but will, with the temptation also make
(37:41):
a way to escape that ye may be able to
bear it. So in respect to hope, to give us
our hope. This gives us an assurance.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Of god Internal.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Sustaining power in all things, and his free, loving health
to all of those who are obedient to His words.
As Christians, our ability to hold on and withstand troubles
(38:23):
depends on our persistence in prayer, our steadfastness in our
faith of God's promises, as well as our trust in
His power to sustain us. Now, in the absence of
God's sustaining power, and if we reject his staminds, we
(38:48):
will surely fail and will not be able to overcome
the trials and trivelations of life reaching essence. These trials
and criviling come to make us strong, and it can
strengthen us when we allow and trust God to sustain
(39:08):
us through them.
Speaker 8 (39:09):
All.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Our unwavering faith in God.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Will enable us to rise of God ever re attack
sent by the enemy. We are encouraged to trust the
defense of God as our sustainers, and fear nothing or
no one. Proverbs twenty four, verses nineteen and twenty highlight
(39:40):
our reason not to walk in fear, but walk in faith,
and it reads, fret not thyself because of evil men.
Neither be diahbians at the wicked, for there shall be
nor reward to the evil maidens. The candle of the
(40:05):
wicked shall be put our Now we know we do
not want our life to be snooked out of us,
because we father after the ways of the world. We
must always realize how frail we are. No matter how
strong we seem to be, we are still frail and
(40:28):
unmatched to the tales and the bruggs, and the trials
and the trip relations of this world. We need God,
our sustainer, to keep us in every way of life.
The Right reminds us here that of the constans who
(40:50):
practice sin and evil, we'll fall by the wayside and.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Be cut off from God. They have wicked heart and
no love or respect for God.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
The apart state characteristics are those such as they despise reproof.
They are perverse, they devised continuous mischief and soul discord.
They have wicked imaginations.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
They lunt after the world.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
They are full of the thief they proclaimed foolishness rather
their righteousness. They are haunted and high minded, fault finders
with even God. They strategizees the howse to destroy others,
and they rejoice.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
When others stumble and fall, while they trust in themselves.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
While treading a path far, all fall and fall away
from God and its righteousness. When you look again that
verse nineteen, it reads, here thout, my son, and be
(42:19):
wise and guide thy heart in the way. So what
was the ending message here that the writer was trying
to get over to us. The message conveyed here is
for commands by God and reasons to follow after the
(42:42):
desires of our sustaining directions were given to the people
of God to do these things. Here, be wise, guide
the heart in the right way, and be not a
companion of drunkest and gluttons, and we can just stay
(43:07):
there be not a companion of sinners.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
Verse twenty.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
The reason for these directors was for protection of those that.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Trust God to sustain them.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Note that the first three directors given addresses the request
to follow in order to be safe and guarded from
worldly behaviors and satisfaction of fleshly desires. There are some
(43:47):
things that we need to do. Yes, God will sustain us,
but he has given us some directness of what He
expects for us to do while he sustained us, so
that we will be able to continue to stand and
not keep falling by the wayside. God's promise is to
(44:12):
protect us from seeking worldly pleasures, which would lead us
to our downfall. Throughout the scriptures, God promised his miraculous
power to end all manner of affliction, all manner of illnesses,
(44:36):
all sickness, disease, all sorrow or pain, and yet even death.
We need to hold on regardless of our circumstances and
just trust by faith in the fact that it is
(44:57):
the Lord God who constantly sustains us by his own power.
So we're not sustained by what we do or by
how much knowledge we have about how much money we
meet that doesn't sustain the Lord. It'll pay our bills.
And you know, we can do some things in the
(45:19):
earthly realm, but to be totally sustained, God is the
only one that can fulfill everything that we need. Then,
when we look at Jeremiah, chapter twenty ninth, verse eleven,
there it is declared by the Lord. For I know
(45:42):
the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you
and expected in to give you and expect it. Why
is an expected and because he has already preordained the
(46:06):
thing that he desired for us to have. Our blessed
us are already stored up.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Hear what I'm saying, They're already stored up. That way,
He says that I want to give you an expected end.
Whatever your heart desire is, I want to fulfill them.
And I have already predectiny that I have already preordained.
I have already set aside everything for you that you
(46:38):
will ever need in your lifetime to be successful. But
even to be successful, you still have to allow me
to sustain you in every walk of life. God has
already devised a master plan for our lives to be successful,
(47:03):
a plan that will sustain us through our all situations
and circumstances, A plan that will enable us to will
stand every trial, every tribrillation, and every attack from the
enemy that we might ever encounter. His master plan. We
(47:28):
will assent us in defeating every assignment plot as well
as demonic attempt to overtake us that was sent to kill, steal,
and destroy our lives. Almighty God is our rail guard,
(47:49):
our defender, and our sustainer in every battle to ensure
our victory against the other. So hold on stand still,
and we shall see the salvation of the Lord that
he has promised unto us. Now, God is more than
(48:14):
our sustainers. According to Psalm one O three verses three,
four and five, we are reminded of God's power and
love that covers his children. The passages declare about God
these things, who forgive it all thine iniquities, who healeth
(48:41):
all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who
chronic thee with loving kindness and tenderness, who satisfy thy
mouth with good things, show that by you is renewed
(49:05):
like the eager.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Oh, you tell me what.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Person in the flesh can provide? Has sustained us with
all of these things? He for He's our forgiver, He's
our healer, our redeemer. He will cryd tous me in
that he covers us. He satisfied us. He renewed our life.
(49:29):
With everything that we have.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
Lost, he will renew it unto us.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
All of these attributes supports that God alone, nobody else
is in the equation that is in the flesh. Because
we are all weak, We are all standing in need
of maybe not the same things, but we all stand
(49:55):
in need of something, but everything that we need He
is in our sustainer God, So he alone is our sustainer,
the one who provides us with every necessary benefit for
our lives. These attributes are actually benefits that we receive
(50:21):
for choosing God and holding on to his unchanging hands.
He never promised us that life would be easy, but
he did promise us that He will never forsake us
nor leave us alone. Now, if you can indulge me,
(50:45):
then they may pick at a little moment here to
testify for me. It is pivotal that I trust God
with every step I make, and with every breath I
take as I take notes in remembering that for all
(51:09):
of my troubles, trials and trivial nations, God promises that
he will restore to me all the years that the
locals have eaten, all that the cake of worms and
the caterpillar.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
Along with what the palmer worms have.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Taken away from me, and I will eat in plenty
and be satisfied. He asked that we praise the name
of the Lord, our God, who is our sustaining that
have dealt wondrously with us, and then we shall never
(51:57):
be ashamed. So that same testimony you can call it
a decoration, you can call it a proclamation that the
same thing that I have declared. I pray that you
stand in those same categories you know and declare those
same things for your own life. Recognizing that we've gotten.
(52:19):
Without God, we are all gonna fail. But it's pivotal
for me that I trust Him for all things, and
I pray that you see it as pivotal in your
own life. That is so necessary that we see Him
as our sustainer and stop trying to provide for ourself. Therefore,
(52:44):
let me eat colorage all of us tonight to please,
and I say please, hold on. Don't even think about
giving up. Remember that it is a load God, God,
who is sustaining of every day. Just believe and know
(53:07):
that there is an end to your struggles.
Speaker 4 (53:14):
There is and end to your struggles.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
That may not look like it, it might not feel
like it, for God promised to bring an end through
all of our struggles. As clause of beat of Psalm
chapter thirty and verse five says, we dip. It may
(53:38):
endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
He didn't just say that joy is coming. He said
joy cometh that et h on the enemy. It constantly
He continues to restore our joy. Every time the enemy
knocks down the joy, the Lord will raise us back up.
(54:02):
You know so they always joy will always come because the.
Speaker 4 (54:05):
Lord have promised us.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
He didn't promise us no happiness. He promised us joy.
There's nothing wrong now me being happy, but happy it's temporary.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
But joy is eturnal.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
You come too far, you cry too many tears, and
wait it going loan to give up now. So please
know that God, our sustainers, loves us and he wills
to bless us. Continue in your faith and God will
(54:44):
reward you for your faithful nest trust that He has
sent this message on tonight for all of us to
heal us and tryst for an hour fits you a shunner, Amen,
eightmen and eight men. Or we want to thank the
(55:07):
Lord tonight for this's powerful word or a word of encouragement,
or a word of decoration, or a word or.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Commandment from the Lord.
Speaker 2 (55:19):
And the only thing the Lord wants us to remember
is I want to sustain you, but I'm not going
to sustain you by force by your faith and your
trust in me. If you will entrust your life into
my powerful hand, then I can keep you in all
of your waves.
Speaker 4 (55:40):

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, come back to the Transforming Live Bible radio show.
You're listening to your oath dr.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
V Amen, Amen, Amen.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And as always there is a word from the Lord,
and tonight has been led by the Holy Spirit. We
are going to be studying from the Book of Proverbs
Proverbs chapter twenty three, verses seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen. And
(04:55):
of course, as we go throughout the Bible study, we
will be pulling in the other scriptures that will support
our lesson on tonight. And the scripture from Proverbs twenty
three seventeen through nineteen reads, let not thine heart in
these sinners, but be thou in the fear of the
(05:18):
Lord all the day.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Long, for surely there is an end, and thine.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Expectations shall not be cut off. Verse nineteen says here thou,
my son.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And be wise and guide thine heart in the race.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The Word read for the people of God by permission
of the Holy Spirit. And with this help and di
Thine Goddess, tonight we want to talk with us on
the topic God our sustainer, God our Sustainer. And as
(06:03):
we introduce this lesson tonight in these passages, we are
commanded to fear the Lord and trust him in every situation.
When we trust him, he will give us victory over everybody,
(06:23):
granting us rest and a peace that pass all understanding.
He will crush Satan and all demonic forces as he
sustains us from the entrapment of every principality, with power
(06:45):
to put them under our feet. And as God, our sustainer,
has promised, he will not allow the enemy to triumph
over us. As the people of God, we need to
(07:07):
learn how to hold on to his unchanging hand.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
God promises to bringing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
In to all injustices that we have to endure. He
promised to answer when we cry out to Him in
prayer when we are distressed by the cares of this
evil and wicked world. Also, he promised to one day
(07:41):
in all.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Manner of illness, sickness, disease, wickedness, and grant justice to
those that love, trust, and cern Him.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Now, as we dieing to the passages, we are depending
on the Holy Spirit to draw his divine presence with
us tonight on this line and will illuminate what these
passages means for our lives on tonight. His message in
(08:22):
this particular Passions verse seventeen is to his people concerning sinners,
we are told to hold fast, standing awe and reverence
God's greatness is mercy, is grace, and his peace. Instead
(08:47):
of focusing on and envying the actions of our enemies
as well as sinners, because he is our sustainer, we
should acknowledge that he is our Jehovah Nissi, which means
(09:11):
that he is our banner. He's our protector and our defender,
as the stated in Psalm thirty seven, verse one and two.
There it tells us to fret not thyself because of evadulas.
(09:36):
Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity, for
they shall soon not later, but they shall soon be
cut down like the grass, and wither as the green earth.
(09:59):
One other support passage concerning verse seventeen comes from Proverbs
chapter twenty eight, verses thirteen and foteen. There it tells
us he that covereth his sin shall not prosper, But
(10:22):
who's so confesses and osaked them shall have mercy from God.
Happy is the man that feareth always, But he that
heartedness his heart shall fall into mischief. We're about to
(10:44):
learn the importance of not being so caught up and
focusing so much of our attention on the ways of
the sinner. We don't even need to focus on their sin,
because the only one who can control them as well
(11:09):
as deliver them out of their sinful way is God.
Our sustain them as His people. We just need to
ensure that we are not walking in the way of
the sinner man and saying that God is our father
(11:33):
because we can't straddle defense. Oh well, yes we can.
We can straddle offense, but that that is so unacceptable
to God, because He will sustain our feet on one side.
We're going to stand on the side that is right,
(11:55):
or we're going to stand on the side that it
is wrong. But we choose God's way. He will sustain us.
See God our sustaining he promised the children of Israel,
which the same promise is applicable to his people of
(12:17):
the date he promised in Psalm forty six, verses nine
through eleven. He missed some promises there, and I want
us to hear it real good. The verse nine says
he maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth.
(12:41):
He breaketh the boat and cut it the spear. In sunder,
he burned the chariot in the fire. Verse ten says
be still and note that I am God. I will
(13:03):
be exalted in the earth. The Lord of Hosts is
with us. The God of Jacob is our refuse. So
the same thing that he was to the children of Israel,
he is the same thing to us to date, and
(13:27):
he has the power to extend all of his blessings
to us whenever we choose. We have to choose to
turn away.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
From our wicked weeds.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But at the same time, while not standing in judgment
of the sinner man, we must be alight for them,
to guide them out of those dark places into Jesus Christ,
so that they can learn learn that God is also
(14:01):
willing to sustain them if they be willing to come
out of their skin. We need to know that God
is our sustainers, not our job, not our pastors, not
our leadership, not the White House, not those that are
(14:23):
the politicians that sit in the White House. They are
not our sustain us.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
But God and God alone is our.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Sustainer in every battle and will not hear me.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Will not is his promise.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
He will not allow the adversary to overtake us. We
must not san We must not stand in our own strength,
but recognize that God and God alone is our strength
(15:05):
like no other. As well as he kills our sustaining.
Our sustaining is just another way of saying he is
our keypers Yes, he keeps us. When we want to
be kept hell the luyer, we must tell the luyers
(15:26):
understand that in him being our strength, know that he
is also our salvation. Therefore, hold on to his our hands.
Our sustainer promised at Isdeah fifteen four and seventeen, the
(15:50):
same promise there that was made to the children of Israel.
It is still applicable to his children today. And he
promised at Isaiah fifty four and seventeen, saying this no
weapon that is formed against THEE shall prosper, and every
(16:13):
tongue that shall rise against Thee in judgment thy shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Now
(16:34):
that's a my fault right there, talking about a real
tall promise death.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
So then if God, well he's saying, if he be for.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Us, and if he is owned on our side, then
who can prevail against us?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I want to answer that quote, nobody or nothing or
anything we will be able to prevail against us. As
God continues to show us grace and mercy, says, only
because of His great and mercy that he even sustain us.
(17:23):
Is not because of who we are, is not because
of how much the money we make. Is not because
of we came from the right family, or that we
came off of the right side of the tracts, not
because of the kind of call three drive, or even
the homes that we live in. But he continues, by
(17:44):
grace and mercy, we should take comfort in knowing.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
That his promises to us are ya and amen.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Once God make the promise to us, he will not
take it back. He will not renege on his promises.
Because every promise that the God makes it is and
shall be as even now is being fulfilled in his
(18:18):
son Jesus Christ. So we should take comfort in that,
knowing that when he make that promise, when he gives
us the words and he tells us that he is
going to do this, he is going to do just
what he says. And why can we guarantee that he
will do what he says? Because the Bible said that
(18:40):
his word is immutable. What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Bishop? That means once God speak.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Of words, he cannot change it. He obligates himself to
follow through with whatever he's say. And if he obligates
himself to follow through with the promise that he meets,
he obligates himself to sustain us when we choose them,
(19:12):
when the storms, triumphs, and trivilations of.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
This life a rite.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh, I don't know about you, but I be kind
omitted and still encounter trials and privilations now. And I
fear pretty sure some of y'all on this line have
had to endure something that you thought.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Lord, Am I ever gonna come out of this blood?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
When the storms, the trials, and triboliations, the lights.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
When they are ride.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Remember what the Psalm is declared concerning God, our sustainers,
what he said there in Psalm one O seven, Verses
twenty nine through thirty one. The scripture says, he maketh
a storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
(20:17):
They are the lad because they be quiet, So he
bringeth them unto their desired haven. And Verse thirty one
says all that men would praise the Lord for his
goodness and for his wonderful works. To the children of men.
(20:43):
He gives us a purpose to praise Him, and the
purposing our praising him, and we will rejoice and we
will praise him freely because we have come to realize
that I have a far that no matter what rises
up gets me, he will sustain me in, through and
(21:10):
out of it all. He don't just keep us one day.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Of the week.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
He just don't keep us on Tuesday Night during the
Transforming Life Bible Study. He don't just keep us whatever
night that of the week that we fellowship in our
respect the Bible studies, with our respective places of worship.
He don't just sustain us on Sunday or on whatever
day you choose to worship him. But he is our
(21:37):
sustainer every day. Whiny four our date, come what me?
He will never put the burden on you and I
to keep our shell. Why because we does not have
totally what we need to keep ourself. We have much knowledge,
(22:03):
we have much understanding, but that knowledge and understanding is
not greater than that of God, our sustainer. People of God,
never let go of God's hands, for he has shown
and continues to show so much grace and mercy towards us.
(22:28):
We should spend time giving thanks unto him, praise and
worship him, because he is the one who continuously sustains us.
Stop focusing on what is going on in the world
(22:50):
that is negative energy. Now we are not saying don't
make yourself aware of your surroundings, what's going on in
your environment, what's going on in your country and all,
what's going on in your nation.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yes, we need to keep.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Ourselves informed, but we don't need to focus on these things.
Why because we have no control over them. That is
why we need the grace of our sustainer God when
we are having to deal with these worldly distractions that
(23:32):
bring negative engines. These energies again, are distractions, and though
they be real, realize tonight that the enemy has sent
them chaotically to deflect our attention away from the promises
(23:54):
of all Mighty God. Continue to lift up your head
and look to the years from where all your health
come from, and stay focused on God. Trust in his promises.
There's a reason to trust in his promises.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Why, because He.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Alone is our sustainer of life. Now, the above explanations
that was just given in support of our contacts. Verse
seventeen reminds us, as recorded in Proverbs twenty eight thirteen
(24:38):
through fourteen, that the person who will not acknowledge their
fins and speak to hide them instead and make excuses
for themselves as to why they find they will never
be converted or know the lessons of God as their
(25:03):
sustain But.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
There is a flood in not hiding our sin.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But exposing them, confessing them unto God, asking for his forgivenness,
turn away from him, and believing that He has heard
us and have forgiven us. Then we move on in
our life and continue to serve Him. So therefore, the
(25:37):
persons who confesses and forsakes again men to turn away
from their sin, will be some vitous will be excessed
into the family of God, physical characters that sin and
(25:59):
true by to cover up their sin, and they got
themselves in trouble with the law. We're going to give
two examples the night that we're very familiar with. The
first one we're going to look at is Adam. Oh,
we remember at all the first human there that God
(26:20):
created in the earth.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Adam.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
We know what he did in a nutshell. He of
the treat of knowledge of good and evil after God
had forbidden him.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
To do so, and when God came to visit with
him in the garden of Eden.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
That's what happened.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Adam attempted to hide himself from God because he had
sin again God's command.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And how many of us think that we can hide
from the Lord when we don't miss up and we
don't do something that the Lord has told us not
to do, and when we look at his words that
have been provided to us by the way of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ talking about the Bible, when we
(27:24):
know what his words tells us when we indulge in
the rays of the world, how many of us think
that we can hide what.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
We have done from the Lord.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We cannot hide from him, for the Bible tells us
that the eyes of the Lord are in every place,
so he sees everything we do. He sees everywhere we go.
But we guess what that's a plus. He also sees
our heart and many time we were strolling him. Oh,
(28:00):
we might still desire to stop falling. He sees that
desire in our hearts. Even when we continue to fall,
and we continue to serve him, continue to cry out
to him, learn how to trust him. Eventually we will
learn how to stand and come out of those sins
(28:23):
that keep us in vomits. Our second example is King
Oh y'all remember can Able's brother Adam.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
And Eve's son or he was a bad boy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
He did something bad. Can kill his brother Abel out
of jealousy, able to do anything to him. But our
of jealousy, Kane turned on his brother Abel and took
his life.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Now what brought about this jealousy?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
When they had to bring and present unto the Lord
their offerings, God received the offering that Abel gave to
him as a gift, but he rejected Kin left us.
In other words, what Abel did? He gave God his best.
(29:28):
Can offered to the Lord. What Can thought God wounded?
He was very selfish in his gifting to the Lord,
Lord Hembercy.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
And he killed his brother.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And when God asked him where was his brother? For
his brood cried out from the earth. Can became indignant,
and he became fart again in his response to the law.
(30:06):
And he said next, some of us probably would have done,
am I my brother's keeper? Well, we are our brother's keepers.
Yes we are, because the word of God tells us
that you, who are strong in the faith, we ought
to bear the infirmity of the week.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
We need to understand.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
That God as our sustainers. He knows all things. He
is omnipotent, He is omnoist the end, He is omni president.
So there is nothing that we can do that can
get past him, and there is certainly nothing we could
(30:53):
do that we can hide it from his sight.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
He will require wire truth.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
When we are confronted about our mistakes, whether they were
intentional or whether they were on intentional. God only want
us to tell the truth and be honest because he
already knows what we have done. He is always willing
(31:22):
to forgive us and grant us new mercy and grace.
But we must respond with humility in acknowledging what we
have done. It is his will and desire for us
(31:43):
to be honest and focus our attention on His goodness
and his grace. Wow we are honest enough to acknowledge
the frailty in who we are without him. When the
Lord does not sustain us, we are as frail as
(32:07):
a ship on the sea. Without a sail. We will
be tossed about to and throw when the storm rising,
when the waters are raging, and when the strong winds
are blown. It is the sail that feeds the pibotal
point to where the wind can blow into that sail
to keep that stick, keep that boat balanced. But when
(32:30):
we don't have a sail, I mean when we don't
have a sustainer, When we don't have a keeper, we
will be tossed to and fro in this world by
the chres and the sin of this world. Let me
look a little closer at verse eighteen. In verse eighteen,
(32:54):
his message is that he is a keeper of his world.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
He's not like us. We make got a lot of promises,
but so many we don't keep.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
But as our sustainer, he always keeps his words. When
we trust him and take heed to his word, he
promises to present us as his very own, ending all
(33:26):
chaotic distractions that had us in spiritual bondage. He will
locate and announce us right in the midst of our
battles by state. Expect good outcomes.
Speaker 8 (33:46):
Believe in that everything happening in our lives now will
one day come to an end with the help of God,
our or sustainer.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
God promised us a future fill with hope that lives
and less eternity. We must embrace the word spoken at
Isaiah chapter forty one, verses ten through thirteen, which says,
(34:23):
this feels thou not, but I am with THEE. Be
not dismayed.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
But I am thy God.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I will strengthen THEE.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yea, I will help thee.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
YEA, I will uphold THEE with the right hand of
my righteousness. Behold, all they that were insissed against THEE
shall be ashamed and confounded. They shall be as nothing,
(35:05):
And they that thrive with THEE shall perish.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Verse twelve says thou.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Shalt seek them and shall not find them, even them
that contented with THEE. They that war against THEE shall
be as nothing and as a thing of naught. For I,
(35:36):
the Lord, thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying,
unto THEE, spare not, I will help shoot. That is
what our sustainer does in every conflict that we may
(35:58):
have to encounter because of the sinner, or because of
our enemy, or because of attacks that.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Have been sent to us by Statom.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
The Lord said in those one, two, three four words,
I will help THEE. When God, our sustainer, provides so
much a multiplicity for his children, who would even conceivable
(36:31):
let it go of his ain? His promise protection and
defense from our enemy rules him to be a faithful father.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Because we though that we're honest.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
We are not always faithful unto God, but He is
always faithful unto us. Why because He loves and cares
about us. He first Corinth in ten verse thirteen, the
apostle Paul's thoughts, They'll have no temptation taken you, but
(37:16):
such as is common to man. But God is faithful.
He said, not about man, be faithful, But God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted above that
you are able, but will, with the temptation also make
(37:41):
a way to escape that ye may be able to
bear it. So in respect to hope, to give us
our hope. This gives us an assurance.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Of god Internal.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Sustaining power in all things, and his free, loving health
to all of those who are obedient to His words.
As Christians, our ability to hold on and withstand troubles
(38:23):
depends on our persistence in prayer, our steadfastness in our
faith of God's promises, as well as our trust in
His power to sustain us. Now, in the absence of
God's sustaining power, and if we reject his staminds, we
(38:48):
will surely fail and will not be able to overcome
the trials and trivelations of life reaching essence. These trials
and criviling come to make us strong, and it can
strengthen us when we allow and trust God to sustain
(39:08):
us through them.
Speaker 8 (39:09):
All.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Our unwavering faith in God.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Will enable us to rise of God ever re attack
sent by the enemy. We are encouraged to trust the
defense of God as our sustainers, and fear nothing or
no one. Proverbs twenty four, verses nineteen and twenty highlight
(39:40):
our reason not to walk in fear, but walk in faith,
and it reads, fret not thyself because of evil men.
Neither be diahbians at the wicked, for there shall be
nor reward to the evil maidens. The candle of the
(40:05):
wicked shall be put our Now we know we do
not want our life to be snooked out of us,
because we father after the ways of the world. We
must always realize how frail we are. No matter how
strong we seem to be, we are still frail and
(40:28):
unmatched to the tales and the bruggs, and the trials
and the trip relations of this world. We need God,
our sustainer, to keep us in every way of life.
The Right reminds us here that of the constans who
(40:50):
practice sin and evil, we'll fall by the wayside and.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Be cut off from God. They have wicked heart and
no love or respect for God.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
The apart state characteristics are those such as they despise reproof.
They are perverse, they devised continuous mischief and soul discord.
They have wicked imaginations.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
They lunt after the world.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
They are full of the thief they proclaimed foolishness rather
their righteousness. They are haunted and high minded, fault finders
with even God. They strategizees the howse to destroy others,
and they rejoice.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
When others stumble and fall, while they trust in themselves.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
While treading a path far, all fall and fall away
from God and its righteousness. When you look again that
verse nineteen, it reads, here thout, my son, and be
(42:19):
wise and guide thy heart in the way. So what
was the ending message here that the writer was trying
to get over to us. The message conveyed here is
for commands by God and reasons to follow after the
(42:42):
desires of our sustaining directions were given to the people
of God to do these things. Here, be wise, guide
the heart in the right way, and be not a
companion of drunkest and gluttons, and we can just stay
(43:07):
there be not a companion of sinners.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
Verse twenty.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
The reason for these directors was for protection of those that.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Trust God to sustain them.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Note that the first three directors given addresses the request
to follow in order to be safe and guarded from
worldly behaviors and satisfaction of fleshly desires. There are some
(43:47):
things that we need to do. Yes, God will sustain us,
but he has given us some directness of what He
expects for us to do while he sustained us, so
that we will be able to continue to stand and
not keep falling by the wayside. God's promise is to
(44:12):
protect us from seeking worldly pleasures, which would lead us
to our downfall. Throughout the scriptures, God promised his miraculous
power to end all manner of affliction, all manner of illnesses,
(44:36):
all sickness, disease, all sorrow or pain, and yet even death.
We need to hold on regardless of our circumstances and
just trust by faith in the fact that it is
(44:57):
the Lord God who constantly sustains us by his own power.
So we're not sustained by what we do or by
how much knowledge we have about how much money we
meet that doesn't sustain the Lord. It'll pay our bills.
And you know, we can do some things in the
(45:19):
earthly realm, but to be totally sustained, God is the
only one that can fulfill everything that we need. Then,
when we look at Jeremiah, chapter twenty ninth, verse eleven,
there it is declared by the Lord. For I know
(45:42):
the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you
and expected in to give you and expect it. Why
is an expected and because he has already preordained the
(46:06):
thing that he desired for us to have. Our blessed
us are already stored up.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Hear what I'm saying, They're already stored up. That way,
He says that I want to give you an expected end.
Whatever your heart desire is, I want to fulfill them.
And I have already predectiny that I have already preordained.
I have already set aside everything for you that you
(46:38):
will ever need in your lifetime to be successful. But
even to be successful, you still have to allow me
to sustain you in every walk of life. God has
already devised a master plan for our lives to be successful,
(47:03):
a plan that will sustain us through our all situations
and circumstances, A plan that will enable us to will
stand every trial, every tribrillation, and every attack from the
enemy that we might ever encounter. His master plan. We
(47:28):
will assent us in defeating every assignment plot as well
as demonic attempt to overtake us that was sent to kill, steal,
and destroy our lives. Almighty God is our rail guard,
(47:49):
our defender, and our sustainer in every battle to ensure
our victory against the other. So hold on stand still,
and we shall see the salvation of the Lord that
he has promised unto us. Now, God is more than
(48:14):
our sustainers. According to Psalm one O three verses three,
four and five, we are reminded of God's power and
love that covers his children. The passages declare about God
these things, who forgive it all thine iniquities, who healeth
(48:41):
all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who
chronic thee with loving kindness and tenderness, who satisfy thy
mouth with good things, show that by you is renewed
(49:05):
like the eager.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Oh, you tell me what.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Person in the flesh can provide? Has sustained us with
all of these things? He for He's our forgiver, He's
our healer, our redeemer. He will cryd tous me in
that he covers us. He satisfied us. He renewed our life.
(49:29):
With everything that we have.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
Lost, he will renew it unto us.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
All of these attributes supports that God alone, nobody else
is in the equation that is in the flesh. Because
we are all weak, We are all standing in need
of maybe not the same things, but we all stand
(49:55):
in need of something, but everything that we need He
is in our sustainer God, So he alone is our sustainer,
the one who provides us with every necessary benefit for
our lives. These attributes are actually benefits that we receive
(50:21):
for choosing God and holding on to his unchanging hands.
He never promised us that life would be easy, but
he did promise us that He will never forsake us
nor leave us alone. Now, if you can indulge me,
(50:45):
then they may pick at a little moment here to
testify for me. It is pivotal that I trust God
with every step I make, and with every breath I
take as I take notes in remembering that for all
(51:09):
of my troubles, trials and trivial nations, God promises that
he will restore to me all the years that the
locals have eaten, all that the cake of worms and
the caterpillar.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
Along with what the palmer worms have.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Taken away from me, and I will eat in plenty
and be satisfied. He asked that we praise the name
of the Lord, our God, who is our sustaining that
have dealt wondrously with us, and then we shall never
(51:57):
be ashamed. So that same testimony you can call it
a decoration, you can call it a proclamation that the
same thing that I have declared. I pray that you
stand in those same categories you know and declare those
same things for your own life. Recognizing that we've gotten.
(52:19):
Without God, we are all gonna fail. But it's pivotal
for me that I trust Him for all things, and
I pray that you see it as pivotal in your
own life. That is so necessary that we see Him
as our sustainer and stop trying to provide for ourself. Therefore,
(52:44):
let me eat colorage all of us tonight to please,
and I say please, hold on. Don't even think about
giving up. Remember that it is a load God, God,
who is sustaining of every day. Just believe and know
(53:07):
that there is an end to your struggles.
Speaker 4 (53:14):
There is and end to your struggles.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
That may not look like it, it might not feel
like it, for God promised to bring an end through
all of our struggles. As clause of beat of Psalm
chapter thirty and verse five says, we dip. It may
(53:38):
endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
He didn't just say that joy is coming. He said
joy cometh that et h on the enemy. It constantly
He continues to restore our joy. Every time the enemy
knocks down the joy, the Lord will raise us back up.
(54:02):
You know so they always joy will always come because the.
Speaker 4 (54:05):
Lord have promised us.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
He didn't promise us no happiness. He promised us joy.
There's nothing wrong now me being happy, but happy it's temporary.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
But joy is eturnal.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
You come too far, you cry too many tears, and
wait it going loan to give up now. So please
know that God, our sustainers, loves us and he wills
to bless us. Continue in your faith and God will
(54:44):
reward you for your faithful nest trust that He has
sent this message on tonight for all of us to
heal us and tryst for an hour fits you a shunner, Amen,
eightmen and eight men. Or we want to thank the
(55:07):
Lord tonight for this's powerful word or a word of encouragement,
or a word of decoration, or a word or.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Commandment from the Lord.
Speaker 2 (55:19):
And the only thing the Lord wants us to remember
is I want to sustain you, but I'm not going
to sustain you by force by your faith and your
trust in me. If you will entrust your life into
my powerful hand, then I can keep you in all
of your waves.
Speaker 4 (55:40):
Again.
Speaker 2 (55:40):
We want to thank everyone who came from the line tonight.
I believe that somebody's heart is going to change and
somebody's life going to be transformed as a result of
sharing this rise.
