- 0:44Speaker 1: it doesn't work. We spoke about that yesterday. World system
- 0:47Speaker 1: thrives on fear, though, so today we're talking about fear tactics.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The world system thrives on fear, fomo, fear of missing outs, fall,
- 1:01Speaker 1: fear of lack, and fof fear of failure. Fear is
- 1:08Speaker 1: a big, huge business for the World system. People capitalize
- 1:13Speaker 1: on fear, Halloween, fear, right action, movies try to install
- 1:20Speaker 1: fear in you. Fear is not from God. Fear is
- 1:24Speaker 1: actually a spirit. God says, is a spirit. Said, I
- 1:27Speaker 1: didn't give you a spirit of fear, spirit of fear.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I give you a spirit of a soun mind.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Fear tactics, what are they? How does the world use them?
- 1:38Speaker 1: They use it for control, They use it to manipulate.
- 1:42Speaker 1: The world system doesn't work. The world system is dangerous.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Be careful, man, what system that you're investing in? God's
- 1:52Speaker 1: kingdom though thrives on faith, trust in his provision. Right,
- 1:58Speaker 1: God is the provider. Our Father is the provider. Gyrah
- 2:02Speaker 1: the provider, the God who sees all our needs and
- 2:06Speaker 1: provides for every single one of them. And obedience even
- 2:10Speaker 1: when it's unpopular. That's where I'm at right now. Obedience
- 2:14Speaker 1: even when it's unpopular. This podcast is not popular like
- 2:20Speaker 1: other people other people's podcasts.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Why, I don't know.
- 2:26Speaker 1: But what I'm doing is really relying on the scriptures,
- 2:30Speaker 1: lying on Holy Spirit to move people closer to where
- 2:34Speaker 1: God is his word. So fear tactics, You're not gonna
- 2:38Speaker 1: get any fear tactics over here. If I talk about
- 2:41Speaker 1: eternal separation from the Lord, is because the Scripture says,
- 2:45Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen if you reject the Gospel, if
- 2:49Speaker 1: you disobey the Lord, if you blasphem the Holy Spirit,
- 2:54Speaker 1: if you commit habitual sin knowing the truth and going
- 2:58Speaker 1: the other way regardless Bible says, the Scripture says, the
- 3:02Speaker 1: Word of God says, you'll be eternally separated from the Lord.
- 3:05Speaker 1: So that's not a fear tactic. That's actually a word
- 3:08Speaker 1: of God. It is a difference. Amen. Since Joanne, I
- 3:11Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to
- 3:13Speaker 1: the morning. Devo my system, my friend. We're gonna be
- 3:15Speaker 1: in Hebrews, chapter number eleven, verse number six, Hebrews eleven six.
- 3:19Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, or
- 3:23Speaker 1: anything along those lines, please don't hesitate to leave an
- 3:26Speaker 1: other live chat. That's what we're here for. We're here
- 3:28Speaker 1: to communicate, we're here to engage. We're here to just
- 3:32Speaker 1: get together into the Word of God.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Devote the first part of our day to the Lord. Amen.
- 3:38Speaker 1: And even if I'm not live, you can still make comments.
- 3:41Speaker 1: You could ask questions, share a post, share this out
- 3:45Speaker 1: even when I'm not live.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Amen. Thank you.
- 3:47Speaker 1: So much for all those people who do that as well.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Because I know it's early in the morning. This is
- 3:52Speaker 1: so early for me. Amen, this is a God thing.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Waking up this time is a God thing for sure.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Team Jesus God, it's great. Come
- 4:00Speaker 1: and join daily encouragement. Thank you for those groups that
- 4:04Speaker 1: are sharing this out right now. Thank you so much.
- 4:06Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's pray first. After we pray,
- 4:09Speaker 1: we shit us out for like sixty seconds. When we
- 4:11Speaker 1: come back on the other side of those sixty we'll
- 4:13Speaker 1: get right into what I believe is going to help
- 4:16Speaker 1: us when it comes to the world systems, fear tactics,
- 4:20Speaker 1: how we're going to go and navigate through that, how
- 4:23Speaker 1: we're going to adjust our mindset, how we're going to
- 4:26Speaker 1: rely and trust on God's word, and what this is
- 4:29Speaker 1: all about. Fear tactics. Fear is a way to control.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Fear is a spirit. Fear is not from God. He
- 4:37Speaker 1: didn't give us a spirit of fear. I don't know
- 4:39Speaker 1: how many times I have to say that, But a
- 4:40Speaker 1: lot of people are worrying about things that never happened
- 4:44Speaker 1: to them, worried about what they're hearing in the news,
- 4:50Speaker 1: that actually never happened. It's a long story, but fear tactics. Father,
- 4:55Speaker 1: I thank you so much that you didn't give it
- 4:57Speaker 1: a give us a spirit of fear of asun mind.
- 5:01Speaker 1: You gave us the spirit of God, which is Holy Spirit,
- 5:05Speaker 1: the God of heaven and earth, the hope of glory,
- 5:08Speaker 1: living and resting and alive in us all those who
- 5:12Speaker 1: called upon your name to be saved your children. Thank you,
- 5:14Speaker 1: Lord God for your protection. Thank you for guarding us,
- 5:17Speaker 1: guiding us through life. Thank you, Love God for touching
- 5:20Speaker 1: our bodies with health and strength. Thank you, Lord God
- 5:23Speaker 1: for giving us hope and we can find that hope
- 5:26Speaker 1: in you, and we could trust in you and have
- 5:28Speaker 1: faith in you. Thank you for revealing yourself by way
- 5:31Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit in Jesus through Jesus. Thank your Father
- 5:36Speaker 1: for loving us. Thank you Jesus the Son for saving us.
- 5:39Speaker 1: And thank you Holy Spirit for guiding us. We have
- 5:42Speaker 1: all three in one, the Holy God of having, the Earth,
- 5:45Speaker 1: Almighty God. So I pray, Love God for those who
- 5:47Speaker 1: are in fear right now, that Lord God, that you
- 5:50Speaker 1: will remind them that you have given them a hope,
- 5:53Speaker 1: that you are protecting and guiding them, that you have
- 5:56Speaker 1: assigned an angel of the Lord to protecting God, and
- 6:00Speaker 1: that whatever happens in life, you know what happens before
- 6:02Speaker 1: it happens. And if something is going to happen, well, God,
- 6:07Speaker 1: you have the best intention in your heart and in
- 6:10Speaker 1: your mind for your children. So probably God, I pray
- 6:13Speaker 1: peace over every situation and the lies on the other
- 6:16Speaker 1: side of the screen. On the other side of this
- 6:18Speaker 1: might prayer head to protection over myself, my family, my wife,
- 6:21Speaker 1: our children, our grandchildren, our family members from both sides
- 6:26Speaker 1: of our families, from the very youngest to the very oldest,
- 6:28Speaker 1: and every single person in between that. And I also
- 6:31Speaker 1: pray that for every single person representing their family on
- 6:34Speaker 1: the other side of this mike and on the other
- 6:36Speaker 1: side of the screen. And the Holy name of Jesus
- 6:38Speaker 1: we praise by faith, and those who agree and know
- 6:41Speaker 1: the power of prayer, we say Amen to the Amen.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Help me share this out sixty seconds. When we come back,
- 6:46Speaker 1: we'll get right into today's morning Devo. Hebrews, chapter number eleven,
- 6:52Speaker 1: verse number six of be right back, ay man, we're back.

- 8:36Speaker 1: my bro. So listen, thank you so much for opening
- 8:40Speaker 1: your bible, for sharing this out as well. I just
- 8:42Speaker 1: saw that coming across the screen. Amen, and so many
- 8:45Speaker 1: other groups. Man, Holy Christ from India.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Amen.
- 8:50Speaker 1: So let's welcome our brothers and sisters from India as well.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Amen. And let's do this.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Let's spread this gospel message to as many who will listen.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Amen.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are curious about the
- 9:02Speaker 1: gospel message. I know a lot of people are in
- 9:04Speaker 1: need of a savior. I know a lot of people
- 9:06Speaker 1: that they don't trust the Bible because they see how
- 9:09Speaker 1: people use the scripture, use the scriptures through history to
- 9:13Speaker 1: try to gain control over other people.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Amen. But let's not benchmark over the wrongdoers. Let's benchmarker benchmark.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Our lives over the right doers and the righteous one
- 9:23Speaker 1: which is the Lord Jesus.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Fear tactics.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Let's get to the word, Amen, so that way we
- 9:28Speaker 1: could stand point that we have the goal here. The
- 9:33Speaker 1: goal here is to get into the scriptures. And I
- 9:35Speaker 1: want you to read the scriptures for yourself. Amen, so
- 9:37Speaker 1: that way you can see for yourself that the word
- 9:39Speaker 1: of God works.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Amen.
- 9:41Speaker 1: The word of God is not about fear tactics. The
- 9:43Speaker 1: word of Guy is not about manipulation. The word of
- 9:46Speaker 1: God is not about mind control.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Amen.
- 9:48Speaker 1: The word of God brings freedom, The word of God
- 9:51Speaker 1: brings hope. The word of God brings the glory of God.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Amen.
- 9:54Speaker 1: The word of God reveals the will of God. Man
- 9:57Speaker 1: so much to learn, so much, to see what the
- 10:01Speaker 1: world is doing in people's lives, including yours, Amen, including yours.
- 10:06Speaker 2: So let's see my person the right buying. Here here
- 10:08Speaker 2: we go Amen. Fear tactics. Fear tactics.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Today in the morning, devokin to make it look a
- 10:17Speaker 1: little fear in there in this slide Hebrews chapter eleven,
- 10:23Speaker 1: verse number six. But without faith, it is impossible to
- 10:30Speaker 1: walk with God and please them. That's first and foremost.
- 10:35Speaker 1: If your goal is to do things to try to
- 10:38Speaker 1: make yourself seem righteous and seem holy. And you're a
- 10:42Speaker 1: religious person or maybe even into legalism, and you're thinking
- 10:47Speaker 1: that's gonna please God. You're not on the right track.
- 10:51Speaker 1: The Word of God says, but without faith, it is
- 10:54Speaker 1: impossible to walk with God and please them. So we
- 10:57Speaker 1: need to have faith ev right, oh man, For whoever
- 11:06Speaker 1: comes near to God must necessarily believe that God exists
- 11:13Speaker 1: and that He rewards those who earnestly and diligently seek him.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Why am I bringing the scripture up talking about fear
- 11:22Speaker 1: because faith is the key to overcome fear, and the
- 11:29Speaker 1: world is using fear and temporary satisfaction and temporary dis
- 11:35Speaker 1: and temporary that to get us off track, and not
- 11:38Speaker 1: to rely on faith, but to rely on tactics, lie
- 11:43Speaker 1: in religion, tradition, self help, all that stuff. So the
- 11:49Speaker 1: world will really try to distract us and try to
- 11:52Speaker 1: make us believe that we don't have no hope other
- 11:55Speaker 1: than what the world's offering, and we don't know or
- 11:58Speaker 1: I hope.
- 11:58Speaker 2: You know that's a lie, true fear versus faith. The
- 12:03Speaker 2: world system thrives on fear.
- 12:05Speaker 1: We know that because fear is and this is you know,
- 12:10Speaker 1: people say false evidence appearing real. I don't think fear
- 12:12Speaker 1: is about false evidence. I believe fear is based on
- 12:16Speaker 1: real evidence. You know, when a plane falls out of
- 12:20Speaker 1: the sky, when people lose their lives, unfortunately, that could
- 12:24Speaker 1: bring fear to other people to not want to fly.
- 12:28Speaker 1: It's a reality, right, something happened to somebody else, and
- 12:33Speaker 1: now you don't want that same thing that happened to
- 12:34Speaker 1: them to happen to you. So I don't think it's
- 12:36Speaker 1: like false evidence. I believe it's evidence. It's real, and
- 12:41Speaker 1: it brings fear even insides organized churches. Right when it's
- 12:49Speaker 1: when it's time to give an offering or some tithes.
- 12:52Speaker 1: I've seen this experience this, and I've seen it on
- 12:55Speaker 1: television as well. Certain key phrases that are made when
- 13:02Speaker 1: it comes to giving tithing offering that will bring fear
- 13:08Speaker 1: into the congregation. Up scripture Malachi chapter three. You know,
- 13:17Speaker 1: how can somebody rob from God? The scripture says it.
- 13:19Speaker 1: You know, we're reading the scriptures and you look at it,
- 13:22Speaker 1: and then if you don't give, or if you don't tithe,
- 13:26Speaker 1: you'll be cursed with a curse that will bring fear
- 13:29Speaker 1: to the congregation. Right, if somebody is not mindful of
- 13:33Speaker 1: that scripture in context, you might be thinking, man, if
- 13:37Speaker 1: I don't give God's gonna curse me, realize, if you're
- 13:41Speaker 1: born again, we never are cursed with a curse. The
- 13:45Speaker 1: Lord Jesus took the curse upon himself. Lord Jesus took
- 13:50Speaker 1: sin upon himself. Yet he himself is not cursed, and
- 13:54Speaker 1: he himself did not sin. So therefore, when he rose
- 13:57Speaker 1: from the dead, right show the whole universe that we're now.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Now we have a savior, so we cannot be cursed
- 14:07Speaker 1: with the curse. So fear tactics are used to manipulate
- 14:15Speaker 1: for somebody or some people or some organizations to get
- 14:19Speaker 1: what they want.
- 14:20Speaker 2: It happens outside of the church.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It happens inside of the church unfortunately sometimes Amen, So
- 14:26Speaker 1: we need to be mindful. That's why I always tell
- 14:28Speaker 1: people go to the Word of God for yourself. It
- 14:30Speaker 1: meant so you could be prepared, so you could understand more,
- 14:35Speaker 1: you could trust in the word, you could rely on
- 14:38Speaker 1: the word, you could believe in the world, you could
- 14:41Speaker 1: apply the Word of God in your life. So temporary pleasures,
- 14:46Speaker 1: instant gratification, when fear comes into the equation, is going
- 14:49Speaker 1: to cause you to be like man, if I don't
- 14:51Speaker 1: do this, I'm going to lose out. That fear of
- 14:54Speaker 1: missing out starts going into your mind. You'd be like, wait,
- 14:57Speaker 1: if I don't do this right now. The advertising that
- 15:01Speaker 1: we see on social media, the advertising that we see
- 15:03Speaker 1: on TV, oh you know, get it today. This is
- 15:07Speaker 1: the last your last chance. This offer won't be offered
- 15:11Speaker 1: anymore in your area. It's it's bringing up some kind
- 15:16Speaker 1: of it's called the take action right It wants you
- 15:23Speaker 1: to take action.
- 15:24Speaker 2: That type of.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Literature, that type of advertising causes you to take action
- 15:31Speaker 1: right away because you have the fear of missing out now.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Or when people offer something and say, man, this is
- 15:39Speaker 1: going to be the lowest price as it goes and
- 15:42Speaker 1: you're like, man, I don't have it right now, so
- 15:46Speaker 1: you start thinking of should I borrow money or should
- 15:48Speaker 1: I do this?
- 15:49Speaker 2: That the third that's the fear of lack.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Because you don't have something right now now, you fear
- 15:55Speaker 1: that you're not going to be able to get something
- 15:56Speaker 1: else right now.
- 15:58Speaker 2: That's lack. Heymen, The world system uses that. How about this?
- 16:04Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm never gonna be able to do that.
- 16:07Speaker 1: You ever said that to yourself? I can't do that.
- 16:09Speaker 1: That's you know I don't. I'm not qualified, I'm not
- 16:12Speaker 1: able to do that. Well, that's fear of failure. If
- 16:16Speaker 1: you don't try something right, how would you know you
- 16:19Speaker 1: to feel at it? And even if you fail, at
- 16:22Speaker 1: least you try right. So so many times, how many
- 16:27Speaker 1: people ever failed in life? I have right, But at
- 16:31Speaker 1: least I tried, and trying it will get you better.
- 16:35Speaker 1: He may just get back in there. If God called
- 16:37Speaker 1: you to do something, you know He's gonna equip you
- 16:39Speaker 1: to get that whatever it is done. Don't fear lack,
- 16:44Speaker 1: don't have that fear of missing out, and don't fear failure. Heymen,
- 16:48Speaker 1: we see even the Disciples fail in some areas in
- 16:52Speaker 1: their lives. God still use them. We're still reading about
- 16:55Speaker 1: the Disciples. We're still reading the Book of Acts, We're
- 16:57Speaker 1: still reading what the apostles, right, we still see that
- 17:03Speaker 1: they had the ultimate victory in Christ. We still see
- 17:07Speaker 1: the scriptures and the letters, the Thirteen Letters to the Churches. Yeah,
- 17:12Speaker 1: people messed up. We have a human nature, the nature,
- 17:15Speaker 1: our nature when we are in the natural, will mess up.
- 17:21Speaker 1: And we're in a supernatural and relying on God. God
- 17:23Speaker 1: never messes up.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Holy Spirit.
- 17:25Speaker 1: God never messes up. The Word of God never messes up.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Jesus never messed up. The Father and Heaven, of course
- 17:30Speaker 1: never messed up.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Amen.
- 17:32Speaker 1: So don't fear of failure, use failure as a learning process.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Amen to that way, Now you can know, Okay, I
- 17:40Speaker 1: did it this way and it didn't work. Let me
- 17:43Speaker 1: try another way, and then trust in the Lord, asks
- 17:46Speaker 1: them to guide you, asks them to give you the
- 17:49Speaker 1: wisdom and understanding. Amen, And he will do it liberally, generously.
- 17:53Speaker 1: The Word says he will give you wisdom. Now, so
- 17:57Speaker 1: we see how the world system uses those things. If
- 17:59Speaker 1: you haven't seen or realize how the world system uses that,
- 18:02Speaker 1: the men, take a closer look at what are your
- 18:05Speaker 1: surroundings of what's going on government, what's going on in
- 18:09Speaker 1: the media, what's going on in music, what's going on
- 18:11Speaker 1: in the movies right, what's going on in the entertainment world.
- 18:15Speaker 2: You'll see that these.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Fear tactics are being used to manipulate people to bring
- 18:22Speaker 1: them gain. Right, it's a selfish game that they're playing
- 18:26Speaker 1: for them to gain riches, and the Bible addresses that
- 18:31Speaker 1: what good is it to gain the whole world and
- 18:35Speaker 1: lose your soul?
- 18:36Speaker 2: Fear brings.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Distraction, Fear brings anxiety, Fear brings emotional imbalance, Like you're
- 18:49Speaker 1: not thinking straight because now you're afraid.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Amen. I'm trying to figure out.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Even my children, my daughters, some when they were growing up,
- 18:59Speaker 1: when they're telling you're was younger, she used to be
- 19:01Speaker 1: afraid of everything, And I was like, who told you?
- 19:04Speaker 1: Who taught you about fear? Now my little one is
- 19:07Speaker 1: starting to say the fall in line. I think it's
- 19:09Speaker 1: because she saw her oldest sister talk about fear. But
- 19:13Speaker 1: I'm like, who taught you about fear? It's like almost
- 19:16Speaker 1: like you don't have to be taught to fear. You
- 19:19Speaker 1: catch that from something, because the Bible says it's a spirit.
- 19:23Speaker 1: So me and my wife for sure are children. You
- 19:25Speaker 1: don't have nothing to be afraid of. We have God, Amen.
- 19:28Speaker 1: And God didn't put fear in you. So fear tactics
- 19:31Speaker 1: are real. The world system is full of fear tactics.
- 19:35Speaker 2: We gotta be mindful and careful about fear. Well.
- 19:40Speaker 1: We have faith though in God's kingdom. We have faith,
- 19:44Speaker 1: and the only way to please God is how with faith,
- 19:47Speaker 1: faith and trust and hope in Him, the Holy One,
- 19:50Speaker 1: the Righteous One, the Savior, right, the helper, the comforter,
- 19:55Speaker 1: the wonderful counsel, the Prince of Peace, Almighty God. We
- 19:59Speaker 1: have faith and we have trust in him. We know
- 20:02Speaker 1: he's going to provide. We know that we're not alone
- 20:05Speaker 1: and abandoned in this world, and we know that when
- 20:08Speaker 1: we'll be, when we're obedient, Amen, then we're gonna know
- 20:13Speaker 1: that something good is on the horizon. We're not alone,
- 20:18Speaker 1: we're not abandoned, we're not broke, busted and disgusted like
- 20:23Speaker 1: probably we used to be. But now we're in the
- 20:25Speaker 1: Kingdom of God, knowing that we have a king, and
- 20:28Speaker 1: knowing that we have a kingdom that we can for
- 20:33Speaker 1: sure rely on and trust. So the bottom line is
- 20:37Speaker 1: the world system is broken. Why because it rejects God's rules.
- 20:43Speaker 1: It rejects the ruleship of God. It rejects the King
- 20:47Speaker 1: of Kings and the Lord of lords. The world system does,
- 20:50Speaker 1: and the people in that world system are deceived. They
- 20:53Speaker 1: don't believe because they're just looking at the temporary things.
- 20:57Speaker 2: They're wondering if this is truly a king of kings.
- 21:00Speaker 1: The Lord of lords. Why is x y Z happening
- 21:02Speaker 1: in our world today? Oh, that's because the world is broken,
- 21:06Speaker 1: the world is falling, and God, even though he sentence
- 21:11Speaker 1: hisself as a son the Savior, Amen, he has to
- 21:14Speaker 1: come back again. Did you notice that it has to
- 21:17Speaker 1: come back again? So that means this unfinished business not
- 21:20Speaker 1: on his end, but here on earth.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Amen.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Because when Jesus said it is finished, his mission was complete.
- 21:27Speaker 1: But here on this side of eternity, to prove to
- 21:30Speaker 1: the whole world of who he is. And then when
- 21:32Speaker 1: he comes back, it's not to reintroduce himself, it's to
- 21:37Speaker 1: really really judge who's here and who's rejecting him. While
- 21:42Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God is life giving, the Kingdom of
- 21:46Speaker 1: this world is death giving. While the Kingdom of God
- 21:49Speaker 1: is fearless. Kingdom of this world wants to bring fear.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Kingdom God is life giving because it's governed by our righteous,
- 21:59Speaker 1: loving King, and that righteous loving king his name is Jesus.
- 22:04Speaker 1: That's why Jesus causes followers to be in the world.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Listen closely. Jesus said, we wish to be in the world,
- 22:13Speaker 1: but not of the world. John seventeen, fourteen to sixteen.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Right.
- 22:21Speaker 1: The kingdom focus is God, Jesus Holy Spirit.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Amen.
- 22:26Speaker 1: The kingdom focuses on eternal impact. The kingdom focuses on
- 22:30Speaker 1: spiritual fruit, and in that spiritual fruit you will not know,
- 22:33Speaker 1: you will notice none of it is fear. Right, we
- 22:37Speaker 1: have the fruit of the spirit, not the fruits of
- 22:39Speaker 1: the spirit, the nine that are listed food of the Spirit.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Amen. All of that is the fruit of God, from God.
- 22:49Speaker 1: So we're not going to be here, you know, afraid
- 22:53Speaker 1: of this and afraid of that? Are we going to
- 22:55Speaker 1: be fearful? Sometimes?
- 22:56Speaker 2: Right?
- 22:58Speaker 1: Sometimes I believe our emotions are there for a reason.
- 23:02Speaker 1: If you hear a gunshot and it's like really like
- 23:05Speaker 1: near you, it's going to bring a reaction. You'll be
- 23:09Speaker 1: having an emotion to like, wow, what is that? Let
- 23:11Speaker 1: me run, Let me get out of the way, Let
- 23:13Speaker 1: me make sure our kids are good, right, let me
- 23:17Speaker 1: make sure my family is in with me at that time,
- 23:19Speaker 1: in that moment when you hear a gunshot, when you
- 23:22Speaker 1: see an explosion, all those things. So I'm not talking
- 23:25Speaker 1: about that type of fear. I'm not talking about that
- 23:27Speaker 1: type of emotion. I'm talking about the spirit of fear
- 23:30Speaker 1: that the world uses. It's like the world's a cousin
- 23:34Speaker 1: to fear. The world's a cousin to lack the world's
- 23:36Speaker 1: a cousin to set, drugs and alcohol. The world's a
- 23:40Speaker 1: cousin to deception, right, and all these fear tactics that
- 23:46Speaker 1: the world throws and hurls out our children at us
- 23:48Speaker 1: as grown ups, Amen at the church.
- 23:52Speaker 2: But listen, we know better.
- 23:54Speaker 1: We know our faith overcomes any fear, anytime, any day,
- 24:00Speaker 1: any moment. We have God, We have God's kingdom, we
- 24:03Speaker 1: have God's word, we could trust in him, have faith
- 24:06Speaker 1: in him. We know that when fear of lack comes,
- 24:10Speaker 1: we need to replace that mind of thinking and say
- 24:12Speaker 1: we have the one who provides for every single one
- 24:15Speaker 1: of those areas of lack. Amen, I stay put. I
- 24:20Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I stay put. I know
- 24:22Speaker 1: what I need financially.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Amen. And if it's not there right now, and I'm doing.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Things and I'm not like sitting home and I'm playing
- 24:30Speaker 1: Atario all day, they still have aatari. I'm playing video
- 24:34Speaker 1: games all day. My wife could tell you I'm doing something.
- 24:38Speaker 1: But if I was doing nothing and expecting God to provide,
- 24:41Speaker 1: and I'm just like doing nothing, I'm in fear of lack,
- 24:46Speaker 1: then I don't think it's going to work out in
- 24:48Speaker 1: my favor. I don't think it out to work out
- 24:49Speaker 1: in your favorite either a man. While you're waiting on
- 24:52Speaker 1: the Lord, do something for the kingdom, serve someone else.
- 24:56Speaker 1: You know, I'll follow your dreams. Work right, study, get
- 25:03Speaker 1: into the word of God, make sure your family is good.
- 25:06Speaker 2: So that way, in that waiting.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Process, Amen, you can show yourself approved both spiritually, naturally supernaturally.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Amen.
- 25:15Speaker 1: God sees and knows our heart. But if he sees
- 25:18Speaker 1: us like just giving up, if he sees us just
- 25:21Speaker 1: doing nothing and expecting God to do everything for us, Amen,
- 25:25Speaker 1: we're actually benefiting offer of a finished work. And that
- 25:29Speaker 1: finished work was done by the Lord, and the key
- 25:32Speaker 1: word is work. He did something. He just in and
- 25:35Speaker 1: just say something. He wasn't just talking about what he
- 25:38Speaker 1: was going to do. He actually demonstrated his own love.
- 25:41Speaker 1: That even while I was a sinner, even while you
- 25:44Speaker 1: was a sinner and I hated of God, he still
- 25:47Speaker 1: accomplished his mission. He still died for us, Amen, And
- 25:51Speaker 1: he didn't stay dead, he rose again.
- 25:53Speaker 2: That's the whole thing.
- 25:54Speaker 1: So when fear comes knocking on our door, when fear
- 25:58Speaker 1: comes knocking on the church, when fear comes knocking on
- 26:00Speaker 1: our homes, don't.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Give into that fear.
- 26:04Speaker 1: That's the spirit trying to say, Hey, I'm here, and
- 26:07Speaker 1: what your Lord, what your Jesus, what your Messiah did
- 26:10Speaker 1: is not enough because fear is basically opposing faith.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Think about it.
- 26:15Speaker 1: We read it in Hebrews eleven and six. Read that
- 26:20Speaker 1: although it's unpopular what I'm saying, Amen, although the world
- 26:25Speaker 1: rejects what I'm saying, but the word of God still stands.
- 26:28Speaker 1: It's impossible to please to walk with God without faith,
- 26:33Speaker 1: but with faith, it's possible to The opposite applies right
- 26:37Speaker 1: with faith.
- 26:38Speaker 2: With faith, it's.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Possible to walk with God, to trust in God, to
- 26:41Speaker 1: please the Lord.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Amen.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Without faith, we don't have anything to stand on. We
- 26:46Speaker 1: don't have anything to rely on, anyone to rely on,
- 26:49Speaker 1: because we don't have faith in faith. You know enough
- 26:52Speaker 1: of that way of thinking, right, If I have faith
- 26:55Speaker 1: in faith, No, you have faith in the Lord. You
- 26:57Speaker 1: have faith in Jesus, one who perfects our faith, the
- 27:02Speaker 1: author and perfecta of it all.
- 27:06Speaker 2: So be kind to one another.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Realize that this world system is broken, and the world
- 27:12Speaker 1: should be in fear, not the Kingdom of God, not
- 27:16Speaker 1: the people of God. And if you see the world
- 27:18Speaker 1: in fear, pray for the people who are in fear
- 27:21Speaker 1: and they being manipulated by fear tactics, and try to
- 27:24Speaker 1: bring them love, grace, and mercy, and the most importantly,
- 27:27Speaker 1: bring them the Gospel message, bring them the truth like man,
- 27:30Speaker 1: the Gospel truth. So I'm out of time. I hope
- 27:32Speaker 1: you're getting what I'm saying. Ebles, Chapter eleven. We can't
- 27:35Speaker 1: out of verse number six. Please read the whole chapter
- 27:38Speaker 1: heblews shop eleven so you could get a greater grasp.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Of what God is speaking to us today.
- 27:42Speaker 1: So God bless you all, God keep you all, and
- 27:45Speaker 1: remember always that God is good.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Peace,
