We post at the start of each

6
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,500
With a short intro before hand
to kind of set the stage for the
7
00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:34,300
talk.
You’re about to hear and now
8
00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
let’s hear more about this
week’s talk.
9
00:00:53,300 –> 00:00:54,400
For this week.
We’re listening to an
10
00:00:54,400 –> 00:00:56,500
extrication.
That was another recommendation
11
00:00:56,500 –> 00:01:00,200
given to us an excitation.
That was given by Shane Smith at
12
00:01:00,200 –> 00:01:02,700
the Mount Waverley occlusion,
Melbourne, Australia.
13
00:01:03,100 –> 00:01:06,200
I’m not sure exactly what year
this excitation was given but it
14
00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:09,000
was a recommendation.
We got a few months back and
15
00:01:09,000 –> 00:01:11,100
finally was able to listen to it
and really enjoyed it.
16
00:01:11,300 –> 00:01:14,900
The topic of this excitation is
tackling doubt brother Shane
17
00:01:14,900 –> 00:01:17,600
does a really good job of
breaking down what doubt can do
18
00:01:17,600 –> 00:01:21,000
to us taking a look at that, you
know once doubt is allowed to
19
00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:25,500
enter into your mind you Or to
feel doubt doubt is seated in a
20
00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:28,800
fear fear of not knowing or not
doing the right thing or not
21
00:01:28,800 –> 00:01:30,000
knowing what you’re supposed to
do.
22
00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:35,200
And once you have that fear, our
own human instinct is in to take
23
00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:39,200
steps to preserve ourselves kind
of self-preservation kicks in
24
00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:44,000
and once that kicks in then you
start looking for ways to kind
25
00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:50,100
of prevent or solve your doubt
yourself and he looks at several
26
00:01:50,100 –> 00:01:53,500
biblical examples starting right
from the in the garden talking
27
00:01:53,500 –> 00:01:57,000
about how that you know, the
serpent introduced doubt into
28
00:01:57,000 –> 00:02:00,700
Eve’s mind about whether whether
or not what God had told Adam
29
00:02:00,700 –> 00:02:04,800
and Eve was true.
And once she saw that doubt then
30
00:02:04,800 –> 00:02:08,500
she started to act on it and it
caused the the downfall and then
31
00:02:08,500 –> 00:02:11,900
looks at multiple other Biblical
characters how that just a
32
00:02:11,900 –> 00:02:15,800
little entering of Doubt has
significant impact on them and
33
00:02:15,800 –> 00:02:19,400
kind of steers the course of
their life brother Shan with his
34
00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:24,000
with his exhortation is focusing
on What that doubt can do to us,
35
00:02:24,900 –> 00:02:28,200
you know, whether it’s being
uncertain about where you stand
36
00:02:28,200 –> 00:02:31,800
with with friends or in a Social
Circle or being uncertain about
37
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:35,100
work or doubting whether or not
you’re able to do what you need
38
00:02:35,100 –> 00:02:36,900
to do.
It’s something that we all
39
00:02:36,900 –> 00:02:40,300
struggle with at various points.
Sometimes it’s that little
40
00:02:40,300 –> 00:02:42,500
nagging feeling in the back of
your mind that you can’t quite
41
00:02:42,500 –> 00:02:46,500
put your finger on why you feel
uncertain but it’s there and
42
00:02:47,700 –> 00:02:51,900
it’s a it’s a human failing we
all suffer with it and Shane.
43
00:02:52,400 –> 00:02:56,500
Other chains excitation when
he’s going through this points
44
00:02:56,500 –> 00:03:00,700
out that rather than letting
that doubt control us and steer
45
00:03:00,700 –> 00:03:04,000
us that instead when we feeling
that doubt and then you feel
46
00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:06,500
that fear of not knowing how
you’re going to deal with the
47
00:03:06,500 –> 00:03:08,700
doubt.
It’s that you’re feeling is
48
00:03:08,700 –> 00:03:14,800
instead to kind of take a lesson
from Paul and instead throw our
49
00:03:14,800 –> 00:03:19,700
doubts before God and feel the
confidence that we know that God
50
00:03:19,700 –> 00:03:21,900
is working in our lives that he
has a larger plan going.
51
00:03:22,100 –> 00:03:26,300
On for us for each of us
individually and for the world
52
00:03:26,500 –> 00:03:31,900
as a whole and that if we can
trust in God even when something
53
00:03:31,900 –> 00:03:34,800
seems uncertain but knowing that
it’s going to work out in a way
54
00:03:34,800 –> 00:03:40,100
that makes sense in a way that
works for his good and will as
55
00:03:40,100 –> 00:03:43,100
long as we’re striving to follow
after him will lead to us being
56
00:03:43,100 –> 00:03:45,800
in the Kingdom.
Then it allows us to banish
57
00:03:45,800 –> 00:03:49,300
those doubts and as Paul was
doing to be able to speak boldly
58
00:03:49,300 –> 00:03:55,100
and clearly and confidently.
God and trusting in Him beyond
59
00:03:55,900 –> 00:04:00,700
what any human person would say
has we have any right to do so,
60
00:04:00,800 –> 00:04:02,700
this was a really awesome
excitation.
61
00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:05,500
Like I said, when I it was
recommended a few months back
62
00:04:05,500 –> 00:04:06,900
and we got around to listening
to it.
63
00:04:07,300 –> 00:04:10,100
It was a really good one.
So I’m excited to share this one
64
00:04:10,100 –> 00:04:12,800
with you.
And as this one should be
65
00:04:12,800 –> 00:04:15,800
getting published a little bit
after the first of the year.
66
00:04:16,100 –> 00:04:19,800
So we wanted to have this one is
something especially with kind
67
00:04:19,800 –> 00:04:24,100
of the popular thing with It’s
the start of a new year is to do
68
00:04:24,900 –> 00:04:28,000
New Year’s resolutions to try to
refocus yourself for the coming
69
00:04:28,000 –> 00:04:29,500
years.
And I know sometimes when I’ve
70
00:04:29,500 –> 00:04:33,100
looked back at the years passed
it kind of can lead to doubt and
71
00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:35,400
questioning where you were
coming from and where you’re
72
00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:37,500
going and so I this was I
thought was a really good one to
73
00:04:37,500 –> 00:04:41,700
sort of focus on in the coming
year driving and focusing that
74
00:04:41,700 –> 00:04:46,600
the hope and the faith that we
have in God will overpower any
75
00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:49,300
fear doubt that we might have so
with that.
76
00:04:49,300 –> 00:04:51,800
We’ll turn it over to brother
Shane Smith for his exhortation.
77
00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:56,300
in tackling doubt Well, it was
there in the beginning.
78
00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:03,000
But it was lightened.
And it was there nevertheless.
79
00:05:05,100 –> 00:05:09,800
And it only took one question to
bring it to the surface in Eve’s
80
00:05:09,800 –> 00:05:12,700
mind.
If you cast your mind back to
81
00:05:12,700 –> 00:05:18,200
the serpent in in back in Eden,
the serpent had asked Eve hath.
82
00:05:18,200 –> 00:05:22,600
God said ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden to
83
00:05:22,600 –> 00:05:26,500
achieve had responded.
We may eat of the Trees of the
84
00:05:26,500 –> 00:05:30,200
garden, but of the fruit of the
tree, which is in the midst of
85
00:05:30,207 –> 00:05:34,200
the garden God has said You
shall not eat of it.
86
00:05:35,200 –> 00:05:35,900
Neither.
Shall ye?
87
00:05:35,900 –> 00:05:42,600
Touch it lest you die.
And then the serpent made a
88
00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:47,100
statement to challenged.
He’s thinking he said you will
89
00:05:47,100 –> 00:05:51,500
not surely die.
And he introduced the line of
90
00:05:51,500 –> 00:05:55,900
reasoning that had two things it
appealed to her senses to be
91
00:05:55,900 –> 00:06:01,700
gratified.
And created doubt about what God
92
00:06:01,700 –> 00:06:06,300
had said.
And the more she gave her mind
93
00:06:06,300 –> 00:06:10,100
to the erroneous thinking of the
serpent the less the truth of
94
00:06:10,100 –> 00:06:16,900
what God Said had any impact.
And doubt became disbelief.
95
00:06:18,600 –> 00:06:24,500
And disbelief became rejection.
And she reached out and she took
96
00:06:24,500 –> 00:06:30,000
of that fruit.
But for Adam there was no doubt.
97
00:06:30,900 –> 00:06:34,500
He simply hearken unto the voice
of his wife and rejected the
98
00:06:34,508 –> 00:06:39,400
command of his God.
And since creation nearly every
99
00:06:39,400 –> 00:06:44,100
human identity will wrestle with
doubt of one form of an era or
100
00:06:44,100 –> 00:06:48,900
another insecurity about one
thing and grasping of another
101
00:06:48,900 –> 00:06:50,700
thing.
They D more credible.
102
00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:55,800
Primarily because we allow the
seed of a diverse form of
103
00:06:55,800 –> 00:07:03,500
thinking to be planted in our
mind. and The Offspring of doubt
104
00:07:04,500 –> 00:07:12,000
is fear and When We Fear the
next step is self-preservation.
105
00:07:13,300 –> 00:07:16,500
And suddenly we found ourselves
making immediate decisions to
106
00:07:16,500 –> 00:07:18,900
remedy the problem to allay our
fear.
107
00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:24,300
And Adam said I heard thy voice
in the garden and I was afraid
108
00:07:24,300 –> 00:07:29,400
because I was naked and I hid
myself you see his fear led to
109
00:07:29,400 –> 00:07:34,900
self-preservation.
The problem is in most cases
110
00:07:34,900 –> 00:07:41,200
those immediate decisions lack
wisdom. that truth and then that
111
00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:44,700
God Like Us.
Let me come to the meaning of
112
00:07:44,700 –> 00:07:48,000
the word Doubtfire expresses the
meaning of the word doubt this
113
00:07:48,000 –> 00:07:53,700
way to be at variance with
oneself to hesitate.
114
00:07:55,400 –> 00:08:00,000
Strong’s puts it this way to
separate thoroughly to withdraw
115
00:08:00,000 –> 00:08:03,500
from or by implication to
oppose.
116
00:08:05,000 –> 00:08:10,900
And he adds to be partial to
stagger or to waiver.
117
00:08:13,500 –> 00:08:17,700
So then come over to Genesis
chapter 15 and let’s see how the
118
00:08:17,700 –> 00:08:21,500
meanings of these takes us
effect in the life of Abraham
119
00:08:21,500 –> 00:08:26,300
and Sarah.
In Genesis chapter 15 and verse
120
00:08:26,300 –> 00:08:29,800
4 Abraham is in discussion with
God about the seed.
121
00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:37,000
He promised and God stated in
verse 4 that Eliezer shall not
122
00:08:37,000 –> 00:08:40,600
be thine Heir but the seed would
come of his own bowels and we
123
00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:45,500
read in verse 6 and Abraham
believed in Yahweh and he
124
00:08:45,500 –> 00:08:47,500
counted it to him for
righteousness.
125
00:08:48,200 –> 00:08:50,800
In other words.
There was no doubt in Abraham’s
126
00:08:50,800 –> 00:08:54,600
mind.
But God will give him a seed.
127
00:08:56,600 –> 00:09:01,200
But when Ibraham in part of this
information to Sarah when no
128
00:09:01,200 –> 00:09:07,300
seed came she doubted.
And more than that she
129
00:09:07,300 –> 00:09:12,800
disbelieved.
And finally, she blamed God for
130
00:09:12,800 –> 00:09:16,200
her plight.
If you have a look at chapter 16
131
00:09:16,200 –> 00:09:18,900
verse 1 and 2.
Necessary.
132
00:09:18,900 –> 00:09:22,200
I Abraham’s wife bear him.
No children, and she didn’t hand
133
00:09:22,200 –> 00:09:25,500
maid an Egyptian whose name was
Hagar and Sarah.
134
00:09:25,500 –> 00:09:28,700
I said unto Abraham behold.
Yahweh hath restrained me from
135
00:09:28,700 –> 00:09:32,900
bearing.
I pray thee go in unto my made.
136
00:09:32,900 –> 00:09:40,800
It may be that I may obtain
children by her. and so we find
137
00:09:42,100 –> 00:09:47,200
self-preservation led to the
solving of a problem her way
138
00:09:47,400 –> 00:09:51,800
going on to Hagar my maid you
see the problem was when it came
139
00:09:51,800 –> 00:09:56,800
to Sir II it was all about her.
She said go in and says that I
140
00:09:56,800 –> 00:10:06,600
may be builded. by her the
problem lies with the self and
141
00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:11,900
when you come chapter 18 and
verse 9 when Sarah was no longer
142
00:10:11,900 –> 00:10:15,700
able to conceive then the angel
came confirming the promise.
143
00:10:18,600 –> 00:10:23,300
chapter 18 and verse 9 and they
said unto him.
144
00:10:23,300 –> 00:10:26,200
Where is Sarah?
Thy wife cheese in the in the
145
00:10:26,200 –> 00:10:30,800
tent and he said I will turn
unto thee the time of life and
146
00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:32,600
Sarah.
Thy wife shall have a son.
147
00:10:33,800 –> 00:10:37,300
And she heard in the tent door
and verse 12.
148
00:10:37,300 –> 00:10:40,300
She laughed.
She laughed with herself saying
149
00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:45,200
after I am waxed old shall I
have pleasure my Lord being old
150
00:10:45,200 –> 00:10:49,500
also.
She doubted she disbelieved.
151
00:10:50,300 –> 00:10:55,200
She feared.
And she said I laugh not she
152
00:10:55,200 –> 00:10:58,800
preserved herself.
But in essence the angel came
153
00:10:58,800 –> 00:11:02,500
along to Sarah and held a mirror
up to her face that impelled her
154
00:11:02,500 –> 00:11:05,200
to take a reflective.
Look at her character and her
155
00:11:05,200 –> 00:11:08,100
prevailing attitude for the past
20 years.
156
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:11,000
It’s when you come over chapter
21.
157
00:11:14,600 –> 00:11:20,600
We read from verse 1 and 2.
And Yahweh visited Sarah as he
158
00:11:20,600 –> 00:11:25,500
had said and the Lord said unto
Sarah will did under Siri as he
159
00:11:25,500 –> 00:11:30,400
had spoken for Sarah conceived
and bare Abram son in his old
160
00:11:30,400 –> 00:11:33,800
age at the set time which God
had spoken unto him.
161
00:11:34,900 –> 00:11:37,800
So what was the inhibition could
not God have given her
162
00:11:37,800 –> 00:11:42,600
conception 20 years earlier.
But of course he could but
163
00:11:42,600 –> 00:11:45,600
Sarah’s doubt and disbelief was
her own problem.
164
00:11:46,100 –> 00:11:48,600
And for all those years she
thought it was too hard for God
165
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:52,000
to do the impossible.
It was just too hard for him.
166
00:11:54,300 –> 00:11:58,900
But God will not interfere with
human will. to accomplish his
167
00:11:58,900 –> 00:12:04,000
purpose What brought about the
Mind change?
168
00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:10,600
Then finally remove all down.
Well Hebrews tells us that was
169
00:12:10,600 –> 00:12:16,200
all about faith.
Faith in the promised seed but
170
00:12:16,200 –> 00:12:20,800
you can see a distinct mindset
change when you come and see in
171
00:12:20,800 –> 00:12:27,900
verse 2 for Sarah conceived and
bare Abraham a son.
172
00:12:28,100 –> 00:12:30,400
Do you remember the other verses
we looked at you says that I
173
00:12:30,400 –> 00:12:35,200
might be builded by my servant
now she says in verse 2.
174
00:12:36,600 –> 00:12:42,700
I am she says she’s born that
the child unto Abraham and we
175
00:12:42,700 –> 00:12:45,300
read verse for Abraham
circumcised.
176
00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:48,800
His son Isaac being eight days
old as God had commanded him.
177
00:12:49,100 –> 00:12:52,700
And Abraham was 100 years old.
When his son Isaac was born unto
178
00:12:52,700 –> 00:12:55,300
him.
You see him mindsets now changed
179
00:12:55,500 –> 00:12:59,400
the promise was to Abraham.
She thought that she could be
180
00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:03,200
building which is I understand
that this was the child of
181
00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:05,800
promise.
It was promised to Abraham when
182
00:13:05,800 –> 00:13:08,200
she finally stopped trying to
wrestle with God.
183
00:13:08,300 –> 00:13:10,900
She eliminated all doubt.
She said I knew all I had to do
184
00:13:10,900 –> 00:13:15,700
was just trust in God.
It was all about faith.
185
00:13:17,200 –> 00:13:19,600
Faith in the fact that nothing
was too hard for the Lord.
186
00:13:20,700 –> 00:13:25,100
She had to test him.
And it took 20 years brothers
187
00:13:25,100 –> 00:13:28,800
and sisters for her to overcome
that doubt and disbelief before
188
00:13:28,800 –> 00:13:33,200
she finally reached exactly the
same position as her husband
189
00:13:33,300 –> 00:13:37,400
when right in the beginning
Abraham believed God and it was
190
00:13:37,400 –> 00:13:39,600
counted unto him for
righteousness.
191
00:13:42,400 –> 00:13:45,700
Now doesn’t that say an awful
lot about their relationship?
192
00:13:47,800 –> 00:13:50,600
Did it the beginning when
Ibraham believed?
193
00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:58,200
and his wife didn’t Abraham
didn’t take the heavy-handed
194
00:13:58,200 –> 00:14:00,200
dominant role.
Look Sarah.
195
00:14:00,300 –> 00:14:02,800
You just going to have to get
this sorted out in your mind.
196
00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:05,200
I don’t know why you don’t we
doubt God.
197
00:14:06,700 –> 00:14:08,500
You’re going to have to learn to
trust him.
198
00:14:08,600 –> 00:14:10,700
You can’t resolve this your own
way.
199
00:14:10,800 –> 00:14:12,500
You simply don’t have enough
faith.
200
00:14:15,900 –> 00:14:17,800
Is that leadership in a
relationship?
201
00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:24,700
Is it understanding of his wife?
Hello Abraham spoken to Sarah
202
00:14:24,700 –> 00:14:27,100
like that would have helped her
in her course.
203
00:14:29,100 –> 00:14:33,900
You know the father operated
like this like so with us he
204
00:14:33,900 –> 00:14:39,300
would lose in an instant the
very thing he desires of us. our
205
00:14:39,300 –> 00:14:45,300
willing submission and for 20
years or thereabouts Abraham
206
00:14:45,300 –> 00:14:53,400
patiently demonstrated the
example of faith. of trust until
207
00:14:53,400 –> 00:14:58,400
his wife finally understood and
she conceived in faith.
208
00:15:02,600 –> 00:15:05,600
Imagine what it was like when
Sarah ultimately recognized her
209
00:15:05,600 –> 00:15:10,500
failing.
When she finally went to
210
00:15:10,500 –> 00:15:15,300
Abraham.
And she said, you know Abraham.
211
00:15:16,500 –> 00:15:20,000
You were right.
For all these years.
212
00:15:20,000 –> 00:15:22,000
I’ve been trying to solve this
problem wide away.
213
00:15:23,900 –> 00:15:26,300
I think dancing called all my
time all this time.
214
00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:33,800
I’ve only made matters worse.
And during all that time you
215
00:15:33,800 –> 00:15:38,500
were patient with me.
And you just demonstrated to me
216
00:15:38,500 –> 00:15:40,400
the trust that I should head
also.
217
00:15:43,500 –> 00:15:47,000
Never was there a stronger Bond
made that when husband and wife
218
00:15:47,000 –> 00:15:54,400
have Unity on Divine principles.
But isn’t that true, sometimes
219
00:15:54,400 –> 00:15:57,000
that there are some spiritual
principles that are distinctly
220
00:15:57,000 –> 00:16:02,400
clear to us.
That others might doubt or they
221
00:16:02,400 –> 00:16:08,100
reject it, or they just can’t
see it. and it’s so easy to for
222
00:16:08,100 –> 00:16:11,000
us to become impatient with our
brothers and sisters and think
223
00:16:11,200 –> 00:16:16,500
how look they just so hopeless
they’re a lost cause but that’s
224
00:16:16,500 –> 00:16:18,900
not the way that God deals with
us and it’s not the way that
225
00:16:18,900 –> 00:16:23,800
Abraham dealt with his wife.
That’s the long-suffering
226
00:16:23,800 –> 00:16:26,300
character of God whom we
worship.
227
00:16:28,700 –> 00:16:32,700
And he’s a father who pities his
children that don’t understand
228
00:16:33,400 –> 00:16:37,500
who love him.
But I blinded by their own Folly
229
00:16:37,700 –> 00:16:42,700
and God will work with each of
us to reduce a character like
230
00:16:42,800 –> 00:16:46,600
under his own if we only let go
our doubt.
231
00:16:48,400 –> 00:16:54,100
And Trust in our father.
Well, there’s God’s observed
232
00:16:54,100 –> 00:16:57,400
Sierras change of heart.
Let’s see the way that he dealt
233
00:16:57,400 –> 00:17:00,100
with Gideon over in gems in
Judges chapter 7.
234
00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:09,099
Jin Judges chapter 7 The
eyedropper claims to Gideon that
235
00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:14,500
he’s a mighty man of Valor.
And you wouldn’t think so if you
236
00:17:14,500 –> 00:17:21,700
ask Gideon.
And we’re told in Genesis.
237
00:17:21,700 –> 00:17:26,300
So Judges chapter 7.
And verse 7 that God says to
238
00:17:26,300 –> 00:17:30,100
Gideon and Yahweh said to get
him by the 300 men that lap
239
00:17:30,100 –> 00:17:33,500
while I save you and deliver you
deliver the midianites into
240
00:17:33,500 –> 00:17:42,900
thine hand.
You come over to chapter 3 verse
241
00:17:43,000 –> 00:17:47,600
8.
So the people took the rituals
242
00:17:47,600 –> 00:17:50,600
in the hand and their trumpets
and he said the rest of Israel
243
00:17:50,600 –> 00:17:53,500
every man to his tent and retain
the 300 men.
244
00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:56,600
I’m the host of Midian was
beneath him in the valley.
245
00:17:58,500 –> 00:18:02,600
And it came to pass the same
night that the Yahweh said unto
246
00:18:02,600 –> 00:18:06,400
him arise get thee down to the
hose for I’ve delivered into
247
00:18:06,400 –> 00:18:12,600
thine hand. but if thou fear Go
down with fuhrer.
248
00:18:12,600 –> 00:18:18,300
Thy servant to The Host.
So on one hand, we have Gideon
249
00:18:18,300 –> 00:18:20,200
whose neck hold a mighty man of
Valor.
250
00:18:20,900 –> 00:18:23,400
He sees himself small in his own
site.
251
00:18:24,400 –> 00:18:27,400
His number of men who wish to go
to war with the midianites is
252
00:18:27,400 –> 00:18:32,100
reduced to 300 and he’s going to
go against a mighty host that
253
00:18:32,100 –> 00:18:35,200
has the sand of the sea for
multitude and I think my memory
254
00:18:35,200 –> 00:18:37,700
serves me correct was about a
hundred and thirty-five thousand
255
00:18:37,700 –> 00:18:39,700
about twice the population of
ancestor.
256
00:18:43,300 –> 00:18:47,000
And he stands on a hillside.
He looks at $135,000 looks and
257
00:18:47,000 –> 00:18:55,000
he’s only he’s just 300.
And God raised him like a book.
258
00:18:57,800 –> 00:19:06,500
and he said if you fear surely
we can appreciate Gideon’s angst
259
00:19:06,500 –> 00:19:09,600
in the such the face of such
odds.
260
00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:15,900
But how does God deal with
Gideon’s doubt?
261
00:19:18,500 –> 00:19:22,800
The first of all there is no
reprimand for his angst.
262
00:19:24,000 –> 00:19:27,200
Offer for the circumstances
prevailing upon him.
263
00:19:27,300 –> 00:19:32,600
So there’s no reprimand.
Secondly, God doesn’t take away
264
00:19:32,600 –> 00:19:37,000
Gideon’s fear and replace it
with lye and courage.
265
00:19:39,900 –> 00:19:44,500
And thirdly God doesn’t even
change the circumstances with
266
00:19:44,500 –> 00:19:52,600
the incredible odds.
But rather God encourages Gideon
267
00:19:52,600 –> 00:19:58,500
to action.
To demonstrate his faith in the
268
00:19:58,500 –> 00:20:04,600
face of doubt.
So in verse 13 and verse 14
269
00:20:05,100 –> 00:20:13,100
Gideon goes down to the host.
Two men go right up to the brink
270
00:20:13,100 –> 00:20:16,400
of a hundred and thirty-five
thousand men.
271
00:20:17,300 –> 00:20:21,500
And here’s the conversation
about a prophecy about Gideon
272
00:20:21,500 –> 00:20:27,400
Supremacy in battle.
And it was so verse 15 when
273
00:20:27,400 –> 00:20:30,100
Gideon heard the telling of the
dream and the interpretation are
274
00:20:30,100 –> 00:20:33,400
off that he worshipped and
returned to the host of Israel
275
00:20:33,400 –> 00:20:37,300
and said arise for Yahweh hath
delivered into your hand the
276
00:20:37,300 –> 00:20:42,700
host of Midian.
There we just did an overall
277
00:20:42,700 –> 00:20:46,200
summary of Gideon in the story
of Gideon which we’ve known from
278
00:20:46,200 –> 00:20:48,600
Sunday school for years.
But if we were to put that
279
00:20:48,600 –> 00:20:55,700
collectively all together.
There are six simple steps for
280
00:20:55,700 –> 00:21:03,700
us over coming down.
Point number one Trust in what
281
00:21:03,700 –> 00:21:11,300
God has promised in verse 9
Gideon was told that God would
282
00:21:11,900 –> 00:21:15,800
deliver it into his hand
fundamental Vital Information.
283
00:21:15,800 –> 00:21:18,700
God said, I will do it.
So Point number one in trust
284
00:21:18,700 –> 00:21:24,000
what God has promised.
Point number two, where in doubt
285
00:21:25,900 –> 00:21:31,800
seek support God said to Gideon
go with fuhrer thy servant
286
00:21:31,800 –> 00:21:33,800
hearts and now there’s two of
them on this agenda.
287
00:21:35,800 –> 00:21:38,500
Find someone in Europe lesion
with whom you can relate.
288
00:21:38,500 –> 00:21:39,900
Look I’m really struggling with
this.
289
00:21:41,100 –> 00:21:43,300
What are you struggling with?
Well, I find this this this and
290
00:21:43,300 –> 00:21:47,700
this get-together of someone
with like-minded faith.
291
00:21:48,900 –> 00:21:57,000
And share your birds.
Point number three apply ourself
292
00:21:57,100 –> 00:22:02,500
in faith He’s got to go with
fuhrer and he’s going right up
293
00:22:02,500 –> 00:22:05,700
to the brink of a hundred and
thirty-five thousand men is got
294
00:22:05,700 –> 00:22:12,200
to demonstrate his faith.
Make prayer fundamental in our
295
00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:17,700
life.
Number four except what God
296
00:22:17,700 –> 00:22:24,600
reveals getting old do it?
This folding we’ve got this is
297
00:22:24,600 –> 00:22:29,000
none other than the sword of
Gideon except don’t keep
298
00:22:29,000 –> 00:22:37,300
fighting like Sarah accept what
God has said. number 5
299
00:22:38,500 –> 00:22:46,400
understand it is God’s battle,
which he is asked for your
300
00:22:46,500 –> 00:22:51,200
input.
In chapter 6 and verse 14 God
301
00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:53,900
had gone to Gideon said this is
the battle to take place.
302
00:22:53,900 –> 00:22:57,200
It’s my battle.
I’m appointing you to lead them.
303
00:22:57,700 –> 00:23:01,400
It was God’s battle if we can
only stop taking all the
304
00:23:01,400 –> 00:23:04,900
attention off ourselves and put
the matter in God’s hands then
305
00:23:04,900 –> 00:23:07,700
God’s going to head as the
leader of the battle were
306
00:23:07,700 –> 00:23:15,700
following in his footsteps. and
finally when Gideon heard the
307
00:23:15,700 –> 00:23:19,000
prophecy and what the outcome
would be he worshipped.
308
00:23:20,800 –> 00:23:24,300
Remember to praise God for his
victory in battle.
309
00:23:27,000 –> 00:23:29,700
You see brothers and sisters.
It’s a natural characteristic of
310
00:23:29,700 –> 00:23:35,400
humanity experience doubt. and
fear when faced by trauma of
311
00:23:35,400 –> 00:23:41,900
overwhelming circumstances what
it God is most interested in is
312
00:23:41,900 –> 00:23:45,700
what we do.
When the fee hits us.
313
00:23:47,200 –> 00:23:51,100
Look at that reading the we had
meditation this morning in Psalm
314
00:23:51,100 –> 00:24:01,200
56.
So I’m 56 and those two verses
315
00:24:01,200 –> 00:24:05,900
we read.
What time I’m afraid.
316
00:24:07,900 –> 00:24:13,600
I will trust in thee.
In God, I will praise His word.
317
00:24:14,800 –> 00:24:20,100
In God have I put my trust.
I will not fear what flesh can
318
00:24:20,100 –> 00:24:27,400
do unto me. in verse 10 in God
will I praise His word?
319
00:24:28,500 –> 00:24:32,100
Enjoy will I praise His word in
God have I put my trust I will
320
00:24:32,100 –> 00:24:36,000
not be afraid what man can do
unto me.
321
00:24:37,600 –> 00:24:40,000
Or from Psalm 119 verse five and
six.
322
00:24:40,100 –> 00:24:42,700
I called upon the Lord in
distress.
323
00:24:44,300 –> 00:24:48,800
He answered me and he made me
free.
324
00:24:51,000 –> 00:24:53,600
I’m going around the room with
doubt and distressed and
325
00:24:53,600 –> 00:24:57,900
anxiety.
When it’s all done and it dealt
326
00:24:57,900 –> 00:25:00,400
with everything, which is free,
it’s gone.
327
00:25:01,900 –> 00:25:04,400
And gods are just put your trust
in me.
328
00:25:07,300 –> 00:25:09,600
And you can be free of The Angst
and the depth.
329
00:25:09,600 –> 00:25:14,900
Trust me.
Go back over to Matthew chapter
330
00:25:14,900 –> 00:25:17,500
14.
That’s the very thing that Peter
331
00:25:17,500 –> 00:25:28,800
had to learn.
So we come to the events after
332
00:25:28,800 –> 00:25:31,300
the feeding of the 5000 Matthew
chapter 14.
333
00:25:35,900 –> 00:25:41,600
And after feeding of the 5000
Jesus ascends a mountain and you
334
00:25:41,608 –> 00:25:45,800
can Strays his disciples to go
into the boat to go before him
335
00:25:45,800 –> 00:25:48,600
to the other side while he sent
the multitude away.
336
00:25:50,800 –> 00:25:55,300
And we read in verse 24.
But the ship was now in the
337
00:25:55,300 –> 00:25:59,400
midst of the sea.
Tossed with the waves for the
338
00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:04,800
wind was contrary.
I’m in the 4th Night Watch of
339
00:26:04,800 –> 00:26:07,700
the night.
Jesus went unto them walking
340
00:26:07,700 –> 00:26:11,800
upon the sea.
And when disciples saw him
341
00:26:11,800 –> 00:26:16,000
walking upon the sea they were
troubled saying is it as it is a
342
00:26:16,000 –> 00:26:19,000
spirit and they cried out for
fear that when I grow up through
343
00:26:19,000 –> 00:26:22,000
Sunday school, I sort of had
this thought of a boat on the
344
00:26:22,000 –> 00:26:23,800
sea and you sort of sea of
glass.
345
00:26:26,500 –> 00:26:30,900
But it says in here the ship was
now in the midst of the sea
346
00:26:30,900 –> 00:26:33,800
tossed with the ways he sent
them out at night.
347
00:26:36,600 –> 00:26:39,100
The ages are not these
disciples.
348
00:26:39,800 –> 00:26:41,600
These are professional
fisherman.
349
00:26:43,200 –> 00:26:46,300
And this boat is getting checked
around left, right and center.
350
00:26:46,300 –> 00:26:49,300
The wind is howling through the
rigging goodness knows what
351
00:26:49,300 –> 00:26:52,100
happened to the sale.
They’re trying to keep the vote
352
00:26:52,100 –> 00:26:55,200
and you must win the midst of a
storm keep the boat into the
353
00:26:55,200 –> 00:26:59,400
waves into the wind.
And here they all the focus
354
00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:03,300
trying to keep this boat afloat.
And they suddenly see Jesus
355
00:27:03,300 –> 00:27:10,000
walking upon the sea.
Am I cried out for fear?
356
00:27:12,700 –> 00:27:17,200
And verse 27 Jesus said spake
unto them saying be of good
357
00:27:17,200 –> 00:27:21,100
cheer.
It is I and Be not Afraid now,
358
00:27:21,100 –> 00:27:23,600
the wind is howling through this
situation.
359
00:27:24,900 –> 00:27:27,300
We tend to look at it.
We sit in our chairs in a hall
360
00:27:27,300 –> 00:27:29,400
and we said look at the
situation what’s happening in in
361
00:27:29,400 –> 00:27:32,300
a ship out in the ocean and I
suppose because ago tuna
362
00:27:32,300 –> 00:27:33,600
fishing.
You know what it’s like out in
363
00:27:33,608 –> 00:27:37,000
the rough sea, sometimes the
wind is howling through this
364
00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:40,600
situation and they see this
figure of someone standing upon
365
00:27:40,600 –> 00:27:43,000
the waves and then Peter turns
around.
366
00:27:43,000 –> 00:27:47,900
He says in verse 28 Lord if it
be thou bid me to come onto the
367
00:27:47,900 –> 00:27:53,900
on the water, Look, it’s a
staggering request.
368
00:27:55,300 –> 00:27:59,200
Absolutely staggering for you.
Go to you see the waves and the
369
00:27:59,200 –> 00:28:03,800
move the water moving.
Never in the scripture to hear
370
00:28:03,800 –> 00:28:05,900
of anyone walking on the water
or sense.
371
00:28:06,800 –> 00:28:10,400
But Peter has asked his Lord
bird me to walk on the water to
372
00:28:10,400 –> 00:28:13,100
come to you.
It’s just an instinctive
373
00:28:13,100 –> 00:28:16,400
response his main focus.
There’s his Lord.
374
00:28:16,400 –> 00:28:19,300
He wants to be with him is not
concerned about the odds.
375
00:28:23,000 –> 00:28:28,700
And Jesus said unto me come.
Henry’s not just anything off of
376
00:28:28,700 –> 00:28:32,800
platform onto a flat surface.
The boat is rising up and down
377
00:28:32,800 –> 00:28:35,300
and Peter’s going to try put his
foot out there and he’s going to
378
00:28:35,300 –> 00:28:37,300
put his foot on the moving
water.
379
00:28:37,400 –> 00:28:42,000
And he finally is able to do
this and it says we find that
380
00:28:42,000 –> 00:28:45,500
they walked on the water to go
to Jesus.
381
00:28:48,100 –> 00:28:50,900
And the waves are moving up and
down that Peters on the water
382
00:28:51,100 –> 00:28:53,900
everything’s moving up and down
and he’s walking on the water
383
00:28:54,000 –> 00:28:58,000
and he is going to Jesus and
he’s walking straight to him.
384
00:29:02,000 –> 00:29:10,400
And Jesus said unto them. verse
27 be of good cheer it is I be
385
00:29:10,400 –> 00:29:14,900
not afraid.
So when Peter stepped out of
386
00:29:14,900 –> 00:29:18,600
that boat onto those turbulent
Waters Peter was not afraid.
387
00:29:20,800 –> 00:29:25,000
When you got out of that ship he
was not afraid he was not afraid
388
00:29:25,000 –> 00:29:26,900
of defying nature to walk on the
water.
389
00:29:26,900 –> 00:29:31,100
We tossed around with the waves.
And as long as he had Jesus as
390
00:29:31,100 –> 00:29:35,500
his primary focus Peter was not
afraid.
391
00:29:38,200 –> 00:29:44,600
So what caused into sync?
But when he saw the wind
392
00:29:44,600 –> 00:29:49,800
boisterous he was afraid.
And beginning to sink.
393
00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:54,700
He cried out Lord save me so now
he has lost his focus of
394
00:29:54,700 –> 00:29:59,100
attention Upon Jesus and his let
the wind become his primary
395
00:29:59,100 –> 00:30:04,100
focus.
He’s taking his eyes off Jesus.
396
00:30:07,200 –> 00:30:12,500
And he said he says there and
immediately Jesus stretched
397
00:30:12,500 –> 00:30:17,900
forth his hand.
And called him that what does it
398
00:30:17,900 –> 00:30:20,100
tell you about Jesus?
The Jesus was still on the
399
00:30:20,108 –> 00:30:21,800
water.
Yes, cause Jesus was still on
400
00:30:21,800 –> 00:30:24,200
the water that Jesus had quick
reflexes.
401
00:30:24,200 –> 00:30:27,700
Yes that he was a strong man to
hold Peter at the water.
402
00:30:27,700 –> 00:30:33,300
Yes.
But when did Jesus respond?
403
00:30:38,100 –> 00:30:45,200
when Peter asked him if you ever
thought about that. when become
404
00:30:45,200 –> 00:30:56,500
doubtful No, we had to go was to
go to Christ. and ask you and
405
00:30:56,500 –> 00:31:01,400
you know brothers and sisters
Peter was almost at Christ’s
406
00:31:02,200 –> 00:31:06,200
feet if Jesus could reach out
and grab him by the hand.
407
00:31:06,200 –> 00:31:11,500
He was almost there.
So how close are we to the
408
00:31:11,500 –> 00:31:16,000
kingdom of God?
Well almost are brothers and
409
00:31:16,000 –> 00:31:20,000
sisters so important that we
don’t let seeds of Doubt get
410
00:31:20,000 –> 00:31:24,600
into our mind.
Can I pay them might have been
411
00:31:24,600 –> 00:31:27,400
afraid of the forcible wind
brothers and sisters but to his
412
00:31:27,400 –> 00:31:31,600
credit when he down to the
circumstances and feared he knew
413
00:31:31,600 –> 00:31:34,200
where his greatest consolation
lie.
414
00:31:34,400 –> 00:31:41,900
It was in his Lord.
An addition to that there’s
415
00:31:41,900 –> 00:31:48,000
another important fact here that
why Peter took his eyes off
416
00:31:48,000 –> 00:31:53,200
Jesus.
Jesus never took his eyes off
417
00:31:53,200 –> 00:32:02,000
Peter. ever wonder about that in
life when you going through and
418
00:32:02,000 –> 00:32:05,400
you can’t see the things that
distract us on the way to the
419
00:32:05,400 –> 00:32:08,900
kingdom of God.
We find R over here over there.
420
00:32:09,900 –> 00:32:12,700
Jesus never took his eyes off
Peter for a moment.
421
00:32:16,100 –> 00:32:19,400
Matt just second chronicles the
one I quote so really like
422
00:32:19,400 –> 00:32:33,300
second Chronicles chapter 16.
In verse 9 just so fitting for
423
00:32:33,300 –> 00:32:36,100
this.
This little section II
424
00:32:36,100 –> 00:32:41,800
chronicles 16 verse 9 for the
eyes of Yahweh run to and fro
425
00:32:41,800 –> 00:32:46,800
throughout the whole Earth.
To show himself strong in the
426
00:32:46,800 –> 00:32:51,600
behalf of them whose heart is
perfect toward him.
427
00:32:54,100 –> 00:32:56,500
Revel which reversed upon the
face of the Earth brothers and
428
00:32:56,500 –> 00:33:02,800
sisters God’s eyes are with
Whether on a ship when replying
429
00:33:02,800 –> 00:33:06,300
with the traipsing through the
middle of a desert God’s eyes on
430
00:33:06,300 –> 00:33:11,700
the I beholding his service some
33 Verse 18 the eye of the Lord
431
00:33:11,700 –> 00:33:17,700
is upon them that fear Him.
But back in chapter 31, it’s
432
00:33:17,700 –> 00:33:22,500
back in chapter Matthew chapter
14, you’ll notice how tender
433
00:33:23,700 –> 00:33:30,800
Jesus speaks.
Come averse and diverse 30 also
434
00:33:30,800 –> 00:33:36,100
verse 31 and immediately Jesus
stretched forth his hand and
435
00:33:36,100 –> 00:33:40,500
caught him and said unto him.
O thou of little faith.
436
00:33:42,500 –> 00:33:47,700
wherefore did staredown There’s
No harsh condemnation.
437
00:33:48,500 –> 00:33:50,500
There’s no pity.
You’re so impulsive.
438
00:33:50,800 –> 00:33:53,400
You say one thing but you’ve
barely pull it through.
439
00:33:54,700 –> 00:34:00,000
Where Ford it’s their down.
And Jesus identifies precisely
440
00:34:00,000 –> 00:34:03,400
what Peter’s problem was.
Oh ye of little faith.
441
00:34:03,400 –> 00:34:08,199
You trusted me to digital.
Why did you doubt?
442
00:34:09,400 –> 00:34:12,199
So again debt was the primary
issue which was brought about by
443
00:34:12,199 –> 00:34:15,000
the force of wind.
Now, we know when you come to
444
00:34:15,000 –> 00:34:19,100
Ephesians that the Winds of
Doctrine blow left and right
445
00:34:19,199 –> 00:34:22,699
every form of thinking which is
contrary to the truth as it is
446
00:34:22,699 –> 00:34:26,600
in Christ.
And we go through life and there
447
00:34:26,600 –> 00:34:28,800
are questions that plant seeds
of doubt.
448
00:34:29,699 –> 00:34:31,500
People come along and they ask
you questions.
449
00:34:32,500 –> 00:34:36,000
How do you know God exists?
It’s a questionnaire
450
00:34:36,000 –> 00:34:39,000
granddaughter come to us
recently and asked how do we
451
00:34:39,000 –> 00:34:44,900
know God is there?
People who have left the
452
00:34:44,900 –> 00:34:48,199
Christian Community.
How do you know the Bible is
453
00:34:48,199 –> 00:34:52,500
true?
Just think for a moment.
454
00:34:52,500 –> 00:34:54,400
What else would you do with your
life?
455
00:34:55,100 –> 00:35:03,400
If God was real.
self-preservation you see What
456
00:35:03,400 –> 00:35:06,100
could I do with my life if this
wasn’t real?
457
00:35:06,200 –> 00:35:08,200
That’s what Peter said to Jesus
Lord.
458
00:35:08,200 –> 00:35:11,500
Don’t get a Jerusalem picking
yourself get behind me Satan.
459
00:35:11,500 –> 00:35:16,400
He said The brothers and
sisters.
460
00:35:16,400 –> 00:35:20,000
We not why not be called upon to
lead 300 soldiers against a
461
00:35:20,000 –> 00:35:25,200
hundred thirty-five thousand.
What’s a walk on the rough Seas?
462
00:35:28,200 –> 00:35:32,700
But God desires our absolute
trust in what he asks of us.
463
00:35:34,400 –> 00:35:36,900
You know, I believe that the
circumstance of Matthew chapter
464
00:35:36,900 –> 00:35:40,300
14 would Peter on the water.
I ask myself the question.
465
00:35:40,300 –> 00:35:45,300
So why did that take place?
What are we being told here in
466
00:35:45,300 –> 00:35:50,600
this gospel record?
In fact is a little lighter in
467
00:35:50,800 –> 00:35:54,400
in Peters life.
The seeds of Doubt expressed you
468
00:35:54,400 –> 00:35:57,300
Matthew chapter 14 come up
again.
469
00:35:59,600 –> 00:36:02,800
You’re one of them.
No, I’m not.
470
00:36:03,000 –> 00:36:09,800
I’m not one of them. your Jesus
is I’m not it’s not me and he
471
00:36:09,800 –> 00:36:14,200
begins to occur since we see the
seeds of Doubt come back into
472
00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:19,700
his mind, and he suddenly dis
Ting himself from Christ.
473
00:36:22,200 –> 00:36:24,200
So it’s prophetically what was
yet to come?
474
00:36:25,900 –> 00:36:28,900
But you know after Jesus
resurrection.
475
00:36:30,700 –> 00:36:39,400
Jesus met Peter Again by another
pile of coals and Jesus comes in
476
00:36:39,500 –> 00:36:45,500
and he and he finds the key
issue in overcoming doubt.
477
00:36:48,300 –> 00:36:51,100
And Peter standing there by the
pile of coals, and he suddenly
478
00:36:51,100 –> 00:36:57,100
goes I’ve been here before.
And Jesus comes to Peyton see
479
00:36:57,100 –> 00:36:59,900
Peter.
Do you love me?
480
00:37:01,900 –> 00:37:04,600
And you can just about guarantee
that people his head looking
481
00:37:04,600 –> 00:37:07,000
down at Kohl’s he would look at

that he did.

He said my heart is fixed.

stand or upright or be erect

foundation.
