- 2:15salvation Amen, to which He has called us and made us partakers. All
- 2:21right, Today we continue with our Amen series on the problem of evil,
- 2:27the problem of evil, and today we're going to focus on the fact that
- 2:31we are delivered from evil. Oh. I love this, I love it.
- 2:36I love it. So much of what the Bible has to say speaks
- 2:39to things that are yet to come. And we say we speak those things
- 2:45which be not as though they were, because God has already finished the work.
- 2:51He's accomplished in eternity what we are catching up to. And so by
- 2:58faith we walk into it. We we live it, and we see it,
- 3:01we take hold of it. Amen. And it shall come to pass
- 3:05because God is spoken and his word Amen, shall not return to him void.
- 3:09So we are delivered. Amen, we are delivered from evil. And
- 3:16so today we want to Amen, see what the Lord, the Bible has
- 3:22to say to us, the Word of the Lord has to say to us
- 3:23about this great deliverance that God has for his people. So if you have
- 3:29your Bible, you can turn with me first to Psalm number ninety one.
- 3:31I'm going to be reading a man. I'm going to be in the word
- 3:36of God today. I'm giving you the word Amen, the Word of the
- 3:38Living God, Amen, that speaks life to us. The promises of God
- 3:43that are yea and Amen to the glory of God. And before we begin,
- 3:46Father, we just thank you again for all of your great, imprecious
- 3:50promises. We thank you that you've made us partakers of this great salvation,
- 3:53not just sons of God, not just children of God. But you've also
- 3:59made us to be the heirs and joint heirs with Christ. So Lord,
- 4:03we just thank you for all of your wonderful benefits towards us. Amen,
- 4:08the things that are yet to even come, but even now, while we're
- 4:11here in this present world, we thank you for victory through Christ. Jesus,
- 4:15our Lord, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word
- 4:17of our testimony. We thank you now in Jesus' name. Amen, and
- 4:21Amen, all right, Amen, Psalm number ninety one. And please understand,
- 4:26although, Amen, before we get there, to Psalm ninety one,
- 4:30although we are born into a falling world of both good and evil. There's
- 4:36good and evil. We have the knowledge of good and evil. We're in
- 4:40the presence of good and evil in this world, and we will have to
- 4:43suffer, Amen, along with the whole of creation. Paul writes about this
- 4:47in Roman Chapel number Ageenes. They all of the creation, the whole of
- 4:51creation is growning and travailing in birth pains. And we are waiting for this
- 4:58promised redemption and restoration that God has a man spoken of the Bible promises.
- 5:03Amen. And this is what we're looking for. But in the meantime,
- 5:08Amen, what we need to understand is we have one of the most blessed
- 5:13of benefits, Amen, that God has provided for us, Amen, for
- 5:18his people. And this benefit is that we can live out our few days
- 5:24in this present world. In this present world, ladies and gentlemen, people
- 5:29of God, Amen, on this side of eternity, Amen, with the
- 5:34blessed assurance of knowing that we have been delivered from evil. God has already
- 5:42delivered us from evil. Now let me go to some number ninety one and
- 5:46some for many of you may be familiar. Amen, but I want you
- 5:49to hear again. Faith comes by hearing, hearing the word of God.
- 5:55So hear the word of the Lord as he speaks. Listen carefully to what
- 5:59the SA says and declares. Amen, in this beautiful, powerful psalm.
- 6:06Amen he verse number one. Who dwells in the secret place of the Most
- 6:12High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the
- 6:18Lord. He is my refuge and my fortress, my God. In him,
- 6:26I will trust. Surely listen what he says. Surely, not maybe
- 6:32not might Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from
- 6:40the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his
- 6:46wings you shall take refuge. His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
- 6:54You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow
- 6:59that fled by day verse number six, nor of the pestilence that walks in
- 7:04darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may
- 7:13fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall
- 7:18not. It shall not come nigh or near you. Only with your eyes,
- 7:26the Bible says, shall you look and see the reward of the wicked,
- 7:30because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the
- 7:35most High your dwelling place. Oh, listen to this verse ten and eleven.
- 7:42No evil shall befall you, Amen, Nor shall any plague come near
- 7:50your dwelling. For he that is God, the Almighty God, who loves
- 7:57us, He watches over us, watches of us, who cares about us,
- 8:01who is concerned. Jesus said that even the very hairs of your head
- 8:05are number. This is what the Bible says. For He shall give his
- 8:09angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Oh,
- 8:18thank you Lord, Amen. This psalm opens in verse number one with a
- 8:24promise. The promise is he who dwells, abides, lives tabernacles in the
- 8:33secret place of the Most High, shall abide, the Bible says, shall
- 8:39abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We have divine protection, divine protection
- 8:48in Christ. Jesus, Amen, our Lord and Savior. He who dwells
- 8:54in that secret place that's in him. In him, the Bible says,
- 8:58we live, move, and have our being. Amen. Our hope is
- 9:03in him, Our life is in him. Our future is him. Our
- 9:07presence, Amen, our present time in being brother is in him. So
- 9:13Amen. It opens with this promise, Amen, that if you dwell,
- 9:18if you live, if you tabernactly, if you abide in the secret place,
- 9:24Amen, you have divine protection from God. And then there's a declaration
- 9:31that the Psalmist makes in verse number two that we all must make. He
- 9:35says, I will say of the Lord. Listen. That's not for him
- 9:39to say for you. That's for you to say for you. You have
- 9:43to declare it for yourself. You must say, I will say of the
- 9:48Lord. God is my refuge, God is my fortress. God is the
- 9:54one in whom the Psalmist says, I will trust. You got to make
- 9:58that declaration for yourself, because when you make this declaration, look at all
- 10:03the promises that God has for you for me. Amen, Surely you're gonna
- 10:09get that deliverance. He's gonna cover you. You're not gonna live in fear
- 10:15and doubt and unbelief. You're not gonna be afraid of the arrow that fly
- 10:18by night. You not be afraid of the pestilence, the sicknesses, the
- 10:22diseases, Amen, the attacks of the enemy. No sickness, no disappointments
- 10:28in life can throw you. Amen. Off course. Amen. Paul says,
- 10:33we may be cast down, but we're not forsaken. Amen. No,
- 10:37no, no. We are always bearing about in the body the dying
- 10:41of the Lord Jesus, all day long. Amen, we are killed for
- 10:45your sake. I'm already dead, Amen, in Christ. But the life
- 10:48that I live is no longer I It is the Christ that lives in me.
- 10:54So I'm in Him and he's in me. I'm in him and he
- 10:58is in me. A thousand may fall at my right hand. Amen.
- 11:03Ten thousand on this side, a thousand on this side. But listen,
- 11:07the Bible says it shall not come near you. Your eyes are gonna see.
- 11:13Amen, You're gonna behold, Amen, the reward of the wicked.
- 11:18Don't fret yourself. Psalm thirty seven tells us about the one who is prospering
- 11:22in his way, the wicked man who brings his devices to pass. Don't
- 11:26fret, Amen, You're gonna see the reward of the wicked, His day
- 11:33is coming. He said. Amen. And so even with all the evil
- 11:37that we see in this world, and we say where is God? Where
- 11:41if people ask that question, where is God? Amen, You're gonna see
- 11:45the reward that comes to the wicked. Look what the Bible says again,
- 11:48No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.
- 11:56God has given his angels charge. He has commissioned them, He has sent
- 12:03them. He has a man commanded them, a man to watch over us
- 12:11and to keep us. The Bible says, Oh, I love this in
- 12:13all your ways. When you go out, when you come in, walk
- 12:16in faith, believe God, trust God, pray and give him glory and
- 12:22honor. Just thank him. Amen, and say, Lord, if your
- 12:26will be that I go here and do this, or go here and do
- 12:28that, I'm gonna do it. But you do it in faith and not
- 12:33in fear, not in doubt, not in unbelief. Amen, not be
- 12:37afraid of Amen. Even if you're living in one of the worst of zip
- 12:41codes, in the worst of neighborhoods, you don't need to be afraid of
- 12:45the arrows. You don't need to be afraid of the devil of the evil
- 12:48that's surrounding you, because God promises protection for his people. Amen. And
- 12:56so we live in this and we a man walk in it by faith and
- 13:00the apostle. Paul, I'm going to take you now the Galatians chapter number
- 13:03one, who also understood this, and believe you me. Please understand.
- 13:07We're talking about a man here who suffered through all kinds of trouble, trial,
- 13:13persecution, tribulation. The Lord told him it was going to happen to
- 13:16him. It did happen to him. Amen. And he understood the context
- 13:20of it. He understood the purpose of it. He understood that it was
- 13:24not permanent. And he also understood that God, he says, always causes
- 13:30us to triumph. We are victorious no matter what, because nothing can separate
- 13:35me from the love of God. I don't care what happens in my life
- 13:39all things. Paul said, he'd make that declaration. And again, when
- 13:43you see these declarations in the Bible and the Word of God, you got
- 13:46to make it personal for you. He says, all things work together for
- 13:50good to them that love the Lord, to them who are the called according
- 13:52to His purpose. Amen. And so even though evil, even though wickedness,
- 13:58even though the inner me, even though persecution, even though tribulation comes
- 14:03our way and it will. Amen. And Jesus told us by the way
- 14:07again, be of good cheer. I have already overcome the world, and
- 14:11I've made you over commerce more than conquerors. You win, we win.
- 14:16Amen. Listen what the apostle Paul had to say in reference to this.
- 14:20I'm going to Galatians chapter number one. Galatians chapter number one, Verse number
- 14:26one, Paul, an apostle. Listen what he says, not of men,
- 14:31neither of man, but by Jesus Christ, the God and Father,
- 14:35and God the Father who raised him from the dead, and all the brethren
- 14:41which are with me unto the churches of Galatia. Grace, he says,
- 14:45be to you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 14:50Listen what he says. Listen carefully verse number four. Who gave himself
- 14:56for our sins? That's Jesus, that he might deliver us from this present
- 15:07evil world. Do you know what Jesus is one of the manifold in the
- 15:16manifold wisdom of God. Amen. One of the purposes for Jesus coming into
- 15:22this world a man was to deliver us from this present evil world. He
- 15:28came to save his people, to deliver his people, Amen, to save
- 15:35his sheep. Amen. That's what he came to do. He gave himself,
- 15:39This is what Paul says. He gave himself for our sins, that
- 15:43he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of
- 15:54God and our faul. And it is the will of God that we be
- 15:58delivered from evil. It is his will. You don't even have to pray
- 16:02that, Amen, even though Jesus taughtest disciples to pray this prayer we call
- 16:07the Lord's prayer. In it, he says, deliver us from evil,
- 16:11keep us from the evil one, and he will He promised to do it.
- 16:15Amen. It is in the will of God that we believe we be
- 16:19delivered from evil. Amen. And although again we have not yet been delivered
- 16:26from the presence of evil in this world, we haven't been taken out of
- 16:30the world. In other words, because we're still here. The Church is
- 16:33still here, people of God are still here. Will yet Amen, fulfilling
- 16:37the commission that God gave to the Church to go into all the world to
- 16:41preach the gospel. Amen, and to also a man be witnesses and then
- 16:47ambassadors and examples a man until the Lord comes back for his church. And
- 16:52so we haven't yet been delivered a man from the presence of the evil that's
- 16:56in this world. Amen. But meantime, God is faithfully a man,
- 17:02preserving us and keeping us from all kinds of evil. I am thoroughly convinced,
- 17:07beyond any shadow of a doubt in my mind, Amen, whatsoever,
- 17:11that there is so much evil that God keeps us from, that God preserves
- 17:17us from it we don't see. I'm talking about the stuff that we don't
- 17:19see. I am thoroughly convinced. There's so much that we don't see.
- 17:23There's so many devices and evil and wickedness in the hearts of men, and
- 17:27the enemy, the devil, Amen, the darkness, the demonic of this
- 17:32world, who would just love Amen to get there, Amen, grips on
- 17:37us. But God preserves us, and God keeps us from the schemes Amen,
- 17:44from the devices of the wicked. Amen. And that's why we don't
- 17:48have to live in fear and doubt. Amen. If you read again in
- 17:52the account of the Book of Job, how that the Lord permitted Satan Amen
- 17:57to touch you know, Joe's sessions, and finally also to touch his body
- 18:02a man. Please understand that those who the devil used to come and plunder
- 18:07Job, to steal from him, and and and and and take those things
- 18:12a man, those temporal, worldly possessions that Job had, Amen, they
- 18:18wanted to do this. It wasn't just the fact that the devil stirred them
- 18:25up to do it. It was the desire of these evil, wicked people
- 18:30to come and do this. They probably, no doubt had been been eyeing
- 18:36Job's riches and his wealth and his power and his influence and all of that.
- 18:41And they they they were They were probably just drooling at the opportunity a
- 18:45man. And and when the door was opened and that hedge of protection,
- 18:49as it were, that God allowed to happen. Amen, listen, Please
- 18:53understand, God was putting no more on us than we can bear. That's
- 18:56the beautiful thing about this great salvation we're in. God will not us suffer
- 19:02us or allow us to be tempted above what we're able to bear. And
- 19:04the Bible says, even with the temptation, he makes a way for us
- 19:07to escape that we may be able to bear it. Amen. But you
- 19:11always please understand, always have in this world, in this darkness that we're
- 19:18in right now. Amen, there's the presence of both good and evil.
- 19:23And until the time that God comes back, Amen, to vanquish forever the
- 19:29wickedness and evil. Amen. We have to occupy in this world. But
- 19:33know this, no this, know this, Know this beyond any shadow of
- 19:37a doubt, that God has already delivered us from evil. That doesn't mean
- 19:42any that no bad things will ever happen to us. Amen. But we
- 19:47just thank God for the Angel of the Lord that is encamped all around his
- 19:52people. Amen. Those who fear him, those who trust him, Amen,
- 19:56those who amen walk with him, wait patient and for him, and
- 20:00and and and and this this, this is again, this is all we
- 20:03have to do. Persevere, wait patiently on the Lord. The Bible tells
- 20:08us to wait on the Lord and be of good courage, and he'll strengthen
- 20:11our hearts. All the things that we're gonna go through in his life.
- 20:15He's gonna, he's he's he Listen, what did Jesus say, I'll never
- 20:18leave you, I'll never forsake you. I'm with you always even to the
- 20:22end. Amen. And and and and and and again. Though we are
- 20:26waiting patiently for the return of Jesus Christ, for the rapturing of the church
- 20:30a man, we don't have to a man wait to experience the sufficiency of
- 20:37God's abounding grace toward us. We can experience that right here, right now,
- 20:41in this present world. The goodness of God he commanded by the way
- 20:47verse and I'm sorry Stalm. Twenty three. Brother, when the Simon says,
- 20:51surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
- 20:56Amen, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. God
- 20:59is commanded both goodness and mercy to follow his people. Amen. So God
- 21:04preserves us in the here and the now, and he keeps us in the
- 21:08here and the now, Amen, while he is still adding to his church.
- 21:14And this is what we have to keeping focus. Amen. Keep this
- 21:15in mind. It's not all about us escaping, escaping, get me out,
- 21:19get me out, get me Oh no, no, no, no
- 21:22no. Please understand that God has purpose in everything that he's doing, and
- 21:26he's yet saving, he's yet delivering, he's yet setting captives free. And
- 21:30that's what we need to be doing, interceding and understanding what God is still
- 21:34yet doing in this earth. And many of us have many saved loved ones
- 21:38and people that we work with and encounter every day who need the hope of
- 21:45this salvation. Amen. And so God is yet still working in the earth
- 21:52to save lost sheep, Amen, who are being taken captive, who are
- 21:57being blinded by a man wickedness and evil, a man in the perverseness that
- 22:03is in our world. And so while we are yet a man waiting for
- 22:08the promise of God, a man, Yet we must a man believe God
- 22:14and know that He is doing a work in the earth yet, saving people
- 22:18from their sins. But the devil Lord will come. Make no mistake about
- 22:22it. Amen, unbelievers and scoffers. Notwithstanding, the deavi of Lord will
- 22:27come. And all of the evildoers and all the workers of iniquity a man,
- 22:32all of the rebels, those of who are in the camp of the
- 22:36disobedient, a man, all of the haters of God. Amen, who
- 22:41have by the way tasted of the goodness of God, tasted of his mercy,
- 22:47his loving kindness, his long suffering, his forbearance towards all of us,
- 22:52Amen, his compassion a man. The Bible says, even it is
- 22:56the goodness of God, that what leads us to repentance. They've all,
- 23:00we've all tasted, We've all experienced God's rain falls on the who, the
- 23:04just, and the unjust. God is good to all of us. Amen.
- 23:08So Amen, though they're the Lord is going to come. And those
- 23:12who are still in their rebellion, A man who are still in their obstinates
- 23:18against a man the knocking of the Lord at the door of their heart,
- 23:22refusing to say yes to his will, yes to his way, in their
- 23:26cosmic treason against him. Amen, They're gonna eat of the fruit of their
- 23:32own way. Amen. The Bible tells us, by the way, and
- 23:34some number ninety seven, I told you, I'm gonna give you the word
- 23:37today, some number of ninety seven. Verse ten, He says, ye
- 23:38that love the Lord hate evil, You who love the Lord hate evil.
- 23:48Because he listened to what he says is not done. He preserves the souls
- 23:55of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
- 24:03I love it, I love it, I love it. Listen. I've
- 24:06said this often, I said again. It bears repeating. We who are
- 24:11the children of God, we who are the people of God, We gotta
- 24:14love the things that God loves, and hate the things that God hates.
- 24:17God loves righteousness and goodness. Amen. But he hates evil. He hates
- 24:25evil. He knows, and we should know. We should understand what evil
- 24:29does. Amen to the souls of man. But the Bible tells us here
- 24:33that God preserves the souls of his saints. He preserves the souls of his
- 24:41saints. If you are one of his, if you are a child of
- 24:45his, you're in preservation by the power of God. Amen. And he
- 24:52delivers them, the Bible says, out of the hand of the wicked.
- 24:57You see how they scheme, You see how they plot, you see how
- 25:00they play it. Don't worry, don't fret, the Bible says, because
- 25:04of this wicked man. Amen, God is our deliverer. God is our
- 25:11refuge. God is our strength. Amen. Our tabernacle, Amen, our
- 25:17dwelling place. Son number one forty. Let me read a few verses there,
- 25:22verses one through four. Listen what desimers saying. This is a prayer
- 25:26he praised, He says, deliver me. Verse number one, Oh,
- 25:30Lord, from the evil man, Preserve me from the violent man, which
- 25:37imagine mischiefs in their heart. Continually they are gathered together for war. They
- 25:45have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Adders. Poison is under their lips.
- 25:52But he says listen verse four, keep me, o, Lord,
- 25:56from the hands of the wicked, Preserve me from the violent man who have
- 26:03purpose to overthrow my goings. Oh thank you Lord. Let's listen. Just
- 26:10just trust God. Believe God, know that he will. Amen. He
- 26:12will deliver. Amen. Even though they plan and plot and scheme to plunder
- 26:21again, just like they did with Job. Amen, they came and plundered
- 26:25him Amen, with their wickedness, with their their their jealousy and envy.
- 26:30I'm sure that they had in their heart wanting, desiring, coveting all that
- 26:36he had. Amen. And again the Lord permitted it. But it was
- 26:40all ready in their heart to do this evil, this wickedness. Amen.
- 26:45And God keeps us. He preserves us from their mischief, mischief from their
- 26:52Amen, sharp tongues, from their wicked ways. Amen. The poison that's
- 26:57under their lips, Oh thank you Lord, Thank God, it keeps us.
- 27:02Amen, and listen. I'm about to close with this. Listen,
- 27:04because listen, all we need to do is believe God and stand on his
- 27:10word. Just believe God and stand on his word his promises, every one
- 27:14of them. The Bible says, are yea and amen to the glory of
- 27:18God. I'm gonna take you back to the apostle Paul, as he a
- 27:22man speaks of a man. This this, this, this evil that was
- 27:26done against him. But nevertheless, Amen, and again, we're gonna have
- 27:30people in this world who are going to a man insist and persist in their
- 27:37wickedness. Now all they're doing, by the way, and we just got
- 27:40to pray for them. Pray for them. The Bible says, pray for
- 27:44them that despitefully use you, pray for them. Pray for them who are
- 27:49a man practicing their evil and wickedness. We pray that God will a man
- 27:55open their eyes and turn them from the darkness to the light a man.
- 28:00You never know, Amen, those who are trafficking in evil, a man
- 28:04that if God will have mercy on them and save them and deliver them.
- 28:07So we pray for them. But you will always please understand, you will
- 28:11always have people in this world who are going to do evil, who are
- 28:15going to practice evil, who are of their father, the devil. Amen,
- 28:21And they're going to traffic in their treachery and wickedness, a man in
- 28:25their rebellion against God, against his people, against those who name the name
- 28:30of Christ. And Jesus again warned us of all of this. So we
- 28:33don't have to be alarmed a man when they do these things, but know
- 28:38that, Amen, God is our refuge and our strength. Paul testifies of
- 28:45a man, one Alexander tewod Timothy, chapter four, verse fourteen, Alexander
- 28:51the coppersmith. He says, he did me much evil. This is what
- 28:57he says. This man Alexander, who was a coppersmith. Paul says he
- 29:03did much evil toward the apostle Paul. And so Paul says, the Lord
- 29:10reward him according to his works, and God will Amen. This is just
- 29:15what did Jesus say, vengeance is mine? What does the Bible say?
- 29:18What does the word of the Lord say? Vengeance is mine? I will
- 29:22repay. If your enemy is hungry, do what feed him? If he's
- 29:26thirsty, give him drink. You will heat coals of fire on his head.
- 29:32Pray for them. Amen. And Paul understood again, Amen, that
- 29:37the devil has his Amen. Children who will do his bidding. A man
- 29:47who will continue in their rebellion, who will practice wickedness a man on his
- 29:52behalf? And so he leaves them in the hand of the Lord, as
- 29:56we should. Amen, Alexander, the cop smith did me much evil,
- 30:02not a little something. You know, Sometimes we can let a few things
- 30:04go, and we should by the way, and and and then there are
- 30:10times when people seems to be persistent in their wickedness, in their evil,
- 30:15and there that they that they in malice as it were toward us, and
- 30:21and and and all the more we need the grace of God, all the
- 30:23more we need the forgiveness of God. Is Peter ask the Lord how many
- 30:27times? How many times shall my brother transgress me in a day? And
- 30:33Jesus said, unto seventy times seven. Amen, forgive, forgive, suffer
- 30:38long. That's what we're called to do. Amen forbear, Amen, in
- 30:45patience, persevere, cry unto the Lord dead day and night. And though
- 30:48he bear along with us, He's gonna, He's gonna. The Bible says,
- 30:52avenge speedily, Luke fifteen, I believe it is God is going to
- 30:57avenge his elect speedily. So Paul committed this evil doer to the Lord.
- 31:03And he says, the Lord reward him according to his works. But listen
- 31:07what Elsie said. He says of whom be thou aware. Also he's talking
- 31:14to Timothy. Beware of this guy, Alexander. He is, you know,
- 31:18an evil doer. So you got to be aware and listen. We
- 31:22gotta understand this. You know, Jesus told his disciples, I'm gonna send
- 31:26you forth into a world that's filled with wickedness and evil. You gotta be
- 31:32a man sharp as serpents, but harmless as doves. So beware of these
- 31:38wolves in sheep's clothing, Beware of these false prophets, Beware of evil doers.
- 31:44Beware of those who oppose the gospel. Beware of those who speak heresy.
- 31:49Beware, beware. We have to beware. God will give us the
- 31:52wisdom. He'll give us insight, He'll give us discretion. He'll give us
- 31:57a man understanding. He'll give us a man the ability to discern a man.
- 32:02God would do that for his people. And if any one of us
- 32:07lack wisdom, by the way, God said, just ask, and he
- 32:09has it for us in abundance. Paul said, beware of this man,
- 32:14Amen, for he hath greatly withstood our words. At my first answer.
- 32:21Paul says, no man stood with me, but all men forsook me.
- 32:24I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge again, interceding
- 32:29for them. Amen. Even though they forsook me, Paul says, I
- 32:34am praying to God that is not laid to their charge. Notwithstanding, he
- 32:40says, the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, that by me the
- 32:49preaching might be fully known, and that all the gentiles might hear. And
- 32:55I was Oh, watch what he says, and I was delivered out of
- 33:01the mouth of the lion. Oh Oh, Paul says, even though all
- 33:08of these evil things happened to me, all of this persecution happened to me.
- 33:15All of these people oppose me, They opposed the preaching of the Gospel.
- 33:19I was beaten, I was stoned, I was put in prison.
- 33:22I was persecuted from coast to coast, from city to city. All of
- 33:27these things befell me. Yet Paul says, I was delivered out of the
- 33:35mouth of the life. Please I finished watch this the last verse eighteen.
- 33:38I'm gonna read, and the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work.
- 33:49And Paul says, will preserve me unto his heavenly Kingdom, to whom be
- 33:58glory for ever and ever. Amen. Let let listen, Church, people
- 34:05of God, Amen, listen. Rest rest in it. Rest in it,
- 34:09Live in it, walk in it. Lean not to your own understanding.
- 34:15Stand on the word of God. Believe the report of the Lord.
- 34:20He said he's gonna do it, and it's already done. Paul says,
- 34:23he delivered me, and he's going to continue to deliver me. That's a
- 34:28hope. That's the trust, that's the faith, that's the confidence that we
- 34:32have in God. Amen. His word is not gonna fail, it's not
- 34:36gonna come back to him. Board. He cares for you, he knows
- 34:38your your situations and circumstances in life, and he's with us. He's always
- 34:45there. He's always been there. Even though we may feel like we are
- 34:49forsaken, we're not. We're not. We don't live by feelings. We
- 34:52live by faith. We walk by faith. Amen. So follow again.
- 34:55We just want to thank you for a man, every one of your promises
- 35:00true. Amen to the glory of God. Because your word has gone forth
- 35:05out of your mouth. You watch over it, You watch over your word.
- 35:09You make sure that it is performed. According to what you have spoken,
- 35:14all of your promises. Lord, we are standing on your word.
- 35:16Help us, Amen, in this time, in this season, to be
- 35:22living epistles known and read of men. To be an example to the unbelievers,
- 35:25to intercede one for another. To pray for those that are despitefully using
- 35:31us, in opposing us and opposing your name and opposing the Gospel, that
- 35:36their eyes may be open, their ears and hearts, Oh God, attuned
- 35:43to what the Spirit is saying to the Church and what you are doing in
- 35:46this world today. God, be glorified and be magnified in Jesus' name.
