  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

  Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Father in Heaven, thank you for this day and for
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: loving us so much that you have given us your son.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you for this day of preparation. Thank you for

  Speaker 2: keenly for your will in Jesus name. I pray, Amen
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and Amen again. Yep, make it plain Jesus. Okay, So
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we're gonna go ahead and begin with the lesson writers
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: quote from the book Testimonies for the Church, volume nine
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and page two hundred and eighty six. And then I'm
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: going to give you some simple tips, some very simple
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: tips about how we wait in faith based on what
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about today. Okay, And so it
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: reads all that has perplexed us in the providences of God.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Can we just pause right here. I'ven't gotten through the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: sentence as yet. Have you ever been perplexed by how
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: God was moving in your life? My wife and I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: were having a discussion back in December about how God
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: has moved in my life in business, as an employee,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in other times in my life, and you know, it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: perplexing sometimes, like why is God so good to me?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Why is it that even while he is being good
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and it seems like things are not moving at the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: pace that humans desire. In my mind it's hyper fast
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: paced because I'm thinking about what God overcame in my
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: life to get me to where I am. Did that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: sound perplexing to you?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Now think about the things that you're going through. Are
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you going through a health challenge? Is there a relationship
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that you did everything that God required of you and
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: it seems not to be working out. Yeah, So let
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: me continue the quote. All that has perplexed us in
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the providences of God will in the world to come
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: be made plain. Make it plain, Jesus, That's what I'm saying.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Come on, in the world to come, it'll be made plain.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: The things hard to be understood will then find explanation.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And so what I'm going to ask you to do
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: is what I require of myself. I said require of myself.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you to ask God for that
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: mindset today. I did not say ask God to make
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: plain in the current world, those things that are set
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to be made plain in the world to come. That
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: is not what I just said. I said, ask God
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to help you to have the mindset of the world
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to come. And that means I know that whatever God
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: is doing or not doing is for my good. Therefore,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I'm patiently waiting because I already know at the right time,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: he's going to show me exactly what's going on, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in the meantime he's going to work out all things
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: for my good because he's intentional. All right, let me
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: continue the quote, the mysteries of grace will unfold before us.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for that day, but I have to,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: just like you do. Where our finite minds discovered only
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: confusion and broken promises, we shall see the most perfect
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I need you to see in your thoughts right now,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: in your mindset, right now, minutes into five minutes into
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: our broadcast this morning. I need you to see right
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: now that there are no broken promises. I want you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to see right now that there is no confusion because
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: because you're asking God for his mindset. Right let this
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: mind be in you, which was also in Christ, Jesus
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that was humble enough to do whatever God said, huh okay,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it says here where our finite minds discovered only confusion
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and broken promises, we shall see the most perfect and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: beautiful harmony. Ask God for a harmonious and beautiful thought
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: process today. While we wait, we shall know that in
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: finite love ordered the experiences that seemed most trying. As
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: we realize the tender care of Him who makes all
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: things work together for our good, we shall rejoice with
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: joe unspeakable and full of glory. Let me say that
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: last one again, as we realize the tender care of Him.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: That's then in the future, when we are in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: new world, when we realize the tender care of Him
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: who makes all things work together for our good, we
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. That
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is the end of the quote. And so what I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: asking all of us to do is ask God today
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to give us the mindset that is full of glory
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and joy unspeakable. I'm talking about a foretaste of that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: glory divine. I'm talking about not waiting for what eyes
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: have not seen nor ear heard, not waiting for those
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: things that are that are yet to enter into the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: minds and hearts of God's people who really do and
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: indeed love him. I'm saying, Lord, give me the mindset
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to really truly believe that all things are worth working
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: for my good, so that whenever any trial, any tribulation,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: anything that seems perplexing, seems confusing, seems like a broken promise,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: that I will say, Oh yeah, I have unspeakable joy.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying to play mind games with myself. I'm
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: saying that we can ask God for his mindset today today. Now,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: let's go ahead and jump into the Bible before we
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: are out of time. Okay, So the first thing we
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: want to do is trust his perfect plan. Right out
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of Romans chapter eight. We made allusion to it a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: moment ago and verse twenty eight, and the Bible reads,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and we know, huh not that we will know. We
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: know presently that all things work together for good to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: them that love God? Do you love God? To them
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that are called according to the purpose or His purpose?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Do you love God? Are you called according to His purpose?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Then that means all all things are working together for
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: your good. All things in heaven Jesus praying as our
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: or being our intercessor, all things are working together in
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: heaven Ah the Holy Ghost, praying in moanings and groanings
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that cannot be uttered, so that our prayers can get
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: through all things in heaven, in all things on earth,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: because God will make them work out for our good.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: We need the mindset today. Number two, hold on to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: his promises. God is not slack concerning his promise as
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: some people count slackness, but he's long suffering toward us. Sometimes,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: these things that we go through is because God is
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: patient with us. I know, it's like what it's crazy
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: making what ah, Because God knows some things about us
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that maybe we don't understand, or maybe we do understand.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: But it's a work in progress, and we need just
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit more, just a little bit more pressure,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: we need just a little bit more strengthening. We need
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: just a little bit more patience mism. Yes, and so
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: He will give us everything that we need because He
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't want anybody to perish, but that all should come
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to repentance. Number three Focus on eternal perspective. The Bible
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: says in two Corinthians, chapter four and verse seventeen, for
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: our light affliction, all of it is light in the reality,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: which is but for a moment worketh for us a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Focus on
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the eternal perspective of God. Make it plain Jesus. Yeah,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I think he did it today. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
