\n00:00:13,280 –> 00:00:15,280
\nWelcome to good Krysofian talks.
\nI’m Levi. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:15,480 –> 00:00:16,720
\nI’m Chris.
\nI’m good, Houston. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:17,120 –> 00:00:19,200
\nAnd I’m Brian, thank you for
\njoining us this week. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:19,360 –> 00:00:22,720
\nOn this podcast, we select one
\ntalk a week to help us get the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:22,720 –> 00:00:26,280
\nBible in our Daily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:26,280 –> 00:00:29,160
\nThat we previewed from
\nsuggestions sent in by listeners<\/p>\n
\n00:00:29,160 –> 00:00:31,960
\nfrom around the world.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n
\n00:00:31,960 –> 00:00:35,760
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n
\n00:00:35,760 –> 00:00:38,840
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n
\n00:00:38,840 –> 00:00:51,400
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHello and welcome back. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:51,760 –> 00:00:55,400
\nFor this week I’m introducing
\none of my own exhortations that <\/p>\n
\n00:00:55,400 –> 00:00:59,360
\nI hope that you will enjoy.
\nThis exhortation comes from a <\/p>\n
\n00:00:59,400 –> 00:01:01,480
\nreally important time in my
\nlife. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:01,480 –> 00:01:04,319
\nIt was an exhortation I gave
\nright after I went on Truth Core<\/p>\n
\n00:01:04,319 –> 00:01:08,760
\nfor the second time in 2009 and
\nwas given at the Simi Hills <\/p>\n
\n00:01:08,760 –> 00:01:10,760
\nEcclesia.
\nI also think it’s kind of funny <\/p>\n
\n00:01:10,760 –> 00:01:14,000
\nthat Levi picked an exhort that
\nhe gave at my Ecclesia and in <\/p>\n
\n00:01:14,000 –> 00:01:17,240
\nthis time I’m giving an exhort
\nthat was given at the Simi Hills<\/p>\n
\n00:01:17,240 –> 00:01:18,840
\nEcclesia.
\nSo he and I sort of swap. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:19,120 –> 00:01:23,240
\nThis was the Sunday right after
\nIdyllwild, and this I think <\/p>\n
\n00:01:23,240 –> 00:01:26,880
\nmight be one of the most nervous
\ntimes I’ve ever had in terms of <\/p>\n
\n00:01:26,880 –> 00:01:29,200
\ngiving an exhortation just
\nbecause of the sheer number of <\/p>\n
\n00:01:29,200 –> 00:01:32,160
\npeople that were there,
\nespecially around here, Southern<\/p>\n
\n00:01:32,160 –> 00:01:34,600
\nCalifornia, the Sunday after
\nIdyllwild, there are a lot of <\/p>\n
\n00:01:34,600 –> 00:01:36,480
\nextra visitors and people all
\naround the place. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:36,480 –> 00:01:41,200
\nSo I was 21 when I gave this
\nexhort and it was definitely <\/p>\n
\n00:01:41,200 –> 00:01:44,880
\nnerve wracking when I remember
\nbeing asked to give the exhort <\/p>\n
\n00:01:45,000 –> 00:01:48,240
\nright after Idyllwild.
\nBut I’ll also say this <\/p>\n
\n00:01:48,240 –> 00:01:50,840
\nexhortation was probably the
\nfirst exhortation that I ever <\/p>\n
\n00:01:50,840 –> 00:01:53,560
\nrecall writing where I looked at
\nit and I was like, oh, this felt<\/p>\n
\n00:01:53,560 –> 00:01:55,560
\nlike almost like an adult
\nexhortation. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:58,400
\nI don’t know how a better way to
\ndescribe it felt like I had kind<\/p>\n
\n00:01:58,400 –> 00:02:02,440
\nof gone beyond what I did when I
\nwas baptized when I was 16 in <\/p>\n
\n00:02:02,440 –> 00:02:04,040
\nsome of the early exhorts that I
\nmade. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:04,120 –> 00:02:09,160
\nSo I really still connect with
\nthe past Chris that gave this <\/p>\n
\n00:02:09,160 –> 00:02:11,280
\nexhortation.
\nBut part of what makes this <\/p>\n
\n00:02:11,280 –> 00:02:14,680
\nexhortation particularly
\npowerful to me is in the example<\/p>\n
\n00:02:14,680 –> 00:02:16,840
\nat the start of my exhort, I
\ntalk about something that <\/p>\n
\n00:02:16,840 –> 00:02:19,960
\nhappened in my life that was a
\ndemonstration to me of how God <\/p>\n
\n00:02:19,960 –> 00:02:22,480
\nwas working in my life, even
\nthough I couldn’t necessarily <\/p>\n
\n00:02:22,480 –> 00:02:26,440
\nsee it at the time.
\nLittle did past Chris know that <\/p>\n
\n00:02:26,440 –> 00:02:30,320
\nwithin the next couple weeks
\nfrom when I gave this <\/p>\n
\n00:02:30,320 –> 00:02:34,920
\nexhortation, things would be put
\nin motion in my life that would <\/p>\n
\n00:02:34,920 –> 00:02:39,400
\nlead to me being married to my
\nwife Kristen. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:40,240 –> 00:02:43,120
\nBecause a couple months after I
\ngave this exhortation is when we<\/p>\n
\n00:02:43,120 –> 00:02:46,200
\nstarted dating.
\nAnd at this exact same date that<\/p>\n
\n00:02:46,200 –> 00:02:51,200
\nI gave this exhortation, which
\nwas July 24th, we got engaged at<\/p>\n
\n00:02:51,200 –> 00:02:53,800
\nIdyllwild.
\nAnd then the next year in 2011 <\/p>\n
\n00:02:53,800 –> 00:02:56,280
\nis when we got married.
\nAnd all of those were things <\/p>\n
\n00:02:56,280 –> 00:02:59,000
\nthat I did not foresee coming.
\nI remember at the time it being <\/p>\n
\n00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:02,480
\nsomething that I was really
\nworried about, not knowing who I<\/p>\n
\n00:03:02,480 –> 00:03:04,720
\nwas going to marry and what I
\nwas going to do with my life <\/p>\n
\n00:03:05,120 –> 00:03:07,720
\noutside of the job that I talked
\nabout during the beginning of <\/p>\n
\n00:03:07,720 –> 00:03:10,880
\nthis exhort.
\nBut going back and listening to <\/p>\n
\n00:03:10,880 –> 00:03:13,720
\nit, remembering what I was
\nworried about at the time, what <\/p>\n
\n00:03:13,720 –> 00:03:16,840
\nI put into the exhortation.
\nThe lessons in this exhortation <\/p>\n
\n00:03:17,160 –> 00:03:21,320
\nare still just as relevant now,
\nand there are now dozens of <\/p>\n
\n00:03:21,320 –> 00:03:24,080
\nexamples from the time I gave
\nthis exhortation when I was 21 <\/p>\n
\n00:03:24,080 –> 00:03:29,600
\nto now that only reinforce what
\n21 year old me said in this <\/p>\n
\n00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:32,320
\nexhort.
\nI hope that this exhortation is <\/p>\n
\n00:03:32,320 –> 00:03:35,440
\nencouraging to you, and that you
\ncan find similar examples in <\/p>\n
\n00:03:35,440 –> 00:03:38,640
\nyour own life to the ones that I
\nwill call out, and that you can <\/p>\n
\n00:03:38,680 –> 00:03:42,320
\nrecognize the formula of.
\nFaith, which is the. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:42,320 –> 00:03:45,840
\nTitle of my exhortation in your
\nown life, either by looking back<\/p>\n
\n00:03:46,120 –> 00:03:49,440
\nor remember that formula and the
\nimpact and the importance that <\/p>\n
\n00:03:49,440 –> 00:03:52,840
\nit has when you’re going through
\nsomething in your life now or in<\/p>\n
\n00:03:52,840 –> 00:03:55,240
\nthe future.
\nSo I hope this exhortation is <\/p>\n
\n00:03:55,240 –> 00:03:56,840
\nencouraging to you and
\nuplifting. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:57,280 –> 00:04:00,680
\nAnd with that, I will turn it
\nover to past Chris for my <\/p>\n
\n00:04:00,680 –> 00:04:03,320
\nexhortation entitled The Formula
\nof Faith. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:06,440 –> 00:04:08,440
\nWell, good morning my dear
\nbrothers and sisters and young <\/p>\n
\n00:04:08,440 –> 00:04:11,120
\npeople.
\nI’m very happy to be able to be <\/p>\n
\n00:04:11,120 –> 00:04:13,280
\nhere to give you the word of
\nexhortation, and I bring the <\/p>\n
\n00:04:13,520 –> 00:04:17,000
\nlove and greetings of the 2009
\nTruth Core team and the <\/p>\n
\n00:04:17,000 –> 00:04:19,760
\necclesias that we have visited
\nthus far, the San Luis Obispo <\/p>\n
\n00:04:19,760 –> 00:04:22,400
\nEcclesia, the Victoria Ecclesia,
\nand the Calgary Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:23,200 –> 00:04:25,560
\nAs Russ said, for my exhortation
\nthis morning, we’re going to be <\/p>\n
\n00:04:25,560 –> 00:04:29,280
\nlooking at a formula that God
\nhas in Scripture on how He works<\/p>\n
\n00:04:29,280 –> 00:04:31,600
\nin our lives.
\nBut before we turn that up, I <\/p>\n
\n00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:33,600
\nwant to share with you a story
\nfrom my life. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:34,560 –> 00:04:38,520
\nNear the summer of last year, I
\nhad lost my job as a campus Rep <\/p>\n
\n00:04:38,520 –> 00:04:41,680
\nfor Apple Computers.
\nAnd I was in the process of <\/p>\n
\n00:04:41,680 –> 00:04:44,280
\nlooking for another job.
\nAnd I went and filled out an <\/p>\n
\n00:04:44,280 –> 00:04:46,840
\napplication and went through an
\ninterview process at the school <\/p>\n
\n00:04:46,840 –> 00:04:49,640
\ndistrict where I live for a
\nteacher’s assistant position. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:50,200 –> 00:04:53,440
\nAnd I was going through
\nexpecting to get a call back <\/p>\n
\n00:04:53,560 –> 00:04:55,120
\nafter I’d gone through
\neverything and found out where I<\/p>\n
\n00:04:55,160 –> 00:04:58,000
\nplaced on the list, expecting to
\nget a call back within about a <\/p>\n
\n00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:00,520
\nmonth.
\nI never heard anything. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:01,040 –> 00:05:04,480
\nAnd then I ended up making my
\nschedule to go to school and <\/p>\n
\n00:05:04,600 –> 00:05:06,720
\njust kind of was like, all
\nright, well, I’ll just make it <\/p>\n
\n00:05:06,720 –> 00:05:10,280
\nby without money for a little
\nbit and as hard as I can be. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:10,560 –> 00:05:14,800
\nAnd while I was at school, I got
\nmy schedule all set up and while<\/p>\n
\n00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:17,960
\nI was there, a whole bunch of my
\nclasses got totally messed up. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:17,960 –> 00:05:20,040
\nI had classes cancelled.
\nI had classes that for some <\/p>\n
\n00:05:20,040 –> 00:05:23,400
\nreason I, I got dropped out of
\nbecause of like some sort of <\/p>\n
\n00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:24,560
\nerror and I couldn’t get back
\nin. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:24,840 –> 00:05:27,560
\nSo I’d start with my classes all
\nkind of spread out all over the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:27,560 –> 00:05:29,800
\nentire day.
\nAnd I ended up with all of my <\/p>\n
\n00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:32,760
\nclasses in the evening.
\nAnd I had all this time in the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:32,760 –> 00:05:34,960
\nmorning and I was kind of like,
\nwhat am I going to do? <\/p>\n
\n00:05:34,960 –> 00:05:37,840
\nThis going to be all this time,
\nyou know, and I, I live about <\/p>\n
\n00:05:37,840 –> 00:05:40,160
\n1\/2 an hour away from my school.
\nSo it’s like, great, I’ll just <\/p>\n
\n00:05:40,160 –> 00:05:43,320
\nhave to drive a lot more.
\nAnd then what happened was right<\/p>\n
\n00:05:43,320 –> 00:05:45,160
\nafter I went to one of my
\nclasses, I came back and there’s<\/p>\n
\n00:05:45,160 –> 00:05:48,440
\na phone call from the school
\ndistrict and they’re saying that<\/p>\n
\n00:05:48,680 –> 00:05:50,760
\nwe have a job opening.
\nWould you be interested in <\/p>\n
\n00:05:50,760 –> 00:05:52,600
\napplying?
\nAnd it was at a school called <\/p>\n
\n00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:56,400
\nSchroeder Elementary, which is
\nthe school that I went to when I<\/p>\n
\n00:05:56,400 –> 00:05:59,400
\nwas in elementary school.
\nAnd I’ve been volunteering there<\/p>\n
\n00:05:59,440 –> 00:06:01,640
\nsince my senior year of high
\nschool because my sister went <\/p>\n
\n00:06:01,640 –> 00:06:04,080
\nthere, much to her chagrin.
\nI was volunteering in her <\/p>\n
\n00:06:04,080 –> 00:06:07,920
\nclassroom for many years.
\nAnd they called me up and said, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:07,920 –> 00:06:09,520
\nwe have an opening there.
\nWould you be interested in <\/p>\n
\n00:06:09,520 –> 00:06:11,480
\ninterviewing?
\nI was like, absolutely. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:11,760 –> 00:06:15,360
\nSo I went in for the interview
\nand I got the job and it’s a <\/p>\n
\n00:06:15,360 –> 00:06:17,880
\npermanent position and I feel
\nincredibly blessed. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:18,520 –> 00:06:21,560
\nAnd I want to have you guys
\nremember that story while we <\/p>\n
\n00:06:21,560 –> 00:06:25,600
\nlook through God’s formula
\nbecause I can see in that story <\/p>\n
\n00:06:25,600 –> 00:06:27,520
\nin my life that formerly being
\nput into place. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:27,520 –> 00:06:30,480
\nSo we’re going to start in
\nRomans chapter 5. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:31,080 –> 00:06:34,080
\nThis is going to be kind of the
\nfocus of my expectation this <\/p>\n
\n00:06:34,080 –> 00:06:36,480
\nmorning and we’ll kind of jump
\naround and look at some other <\/p>\n
\n00:06:36,480 –> 00:06:40,280
\nverses.
\nThe formula that God has laid <\/p>\n
\n00:06:40,280 –> 00:06:45,800
\nout for us is and verses three
\nand four Russ read the 1st 2 <\/p>\n
\n00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:47,800
\nverses, so we’ll read those
\nagain we’ll just for the context<\/p>\n
\n00:06:47,800 –> 00:06:49,760
\nand says therefore, being
\njustified by faith, we have <\/p>\n
\n00:06:49,760 –> 00:06:52,680
\npeace with God through our Lord
\nJesus Christ, by whom also we <\/p>\n
\n00:06:52,680 –> 00:06:55,600
\nhave access by faith into this
\ngrace wherein we stand and <\/p>\n
\n00:06:55,600 –> 00:06:57,240
\nrejoice in hope of the glory of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:57,720 –> 00:07:00,800
\nAnd not only so, but we glory in
\ntribulation, knowing that <\/p>\n
\n00:07:00,800 –> 00:07:03,880
\ntribulation worketh patience and
\npatience, experience and <\/p>\n
\n00:07:03,880 –> 00:07:06,960
\nexperience hope, and hope maketh
\nnot ashamed because of the love <\/p>\n
\n00:07:06,960 –> 00:07:09,840
\nof God is shed abroad unto our
\nhearts by the Holy Spirit which <\/p>\n
\n00:07:09,840 –> 00:07:12,560
\nis given unto us.
\nWe’re going to look at each of <\/p>\n
\n00:07:12,560 –> 00:07:14,760
\nthese different things.
\nWe have trials, we have <\/p>\n
\n00:07:14,760 –> 00:07:17,200
\npatience, we have experience,
\nand we have hope. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:17,480 –> 00:07:19,320
\nWe’re going to look through
\nthose four things and see how <\/p>\n
\n00:07:19,320 –> 00:07:21,640
\nGod works in our lives, using
\neach of these different aspects <\/p>\n
\n00:07:21,640 –> 00:07:25,120
\nto make us into better servants.
\nSo the first one on the list is <\/p>\n
\n00:07:25,120 –> 00:07:28,600
\ntrials.
\nAnd often times and many of the <\/p>\n
\n00:07:28,600 –> 00:07:31,080
\nclasses this past week at
\nIdyllwild, we’re sort of <\/p>\n
\n00:07:31,080 –> 00:07:33,400
\ncovering the same thing as to
\nwhy we should rejoice in trials.<\/p>\n
\n00:07:33,640 –> 00:07:35,360
\nAnd any good point bears
\nrepeating. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:35,520 –> 00:07:42,200
\nSo we’ll go over to Proverbs
\nchapter 3 and reading from verse<\/p>\n
\n00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:46,360
\n12 and said whom the Lord
\nloveth, he correcteth even as a <\/p>\n
\n00:07:46,360 –> 00:07:48,120
\nfather, the Son in whom he
\ndelighteth. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:49,360 –> 00:07:51,480
\nThat’s the reason why we need to
\nrejoice in trials. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:52,240 –> 00:07:54,680
\nGod only puts trials in our
\nlives and the people of the <\/p>\n
\n00:07:54,680 –> 00:07:56,960
\nlives that he cares about to try
\nto mold them, to try to build <\/p>\n
\n00:07:56,960 –> 00:07:58,080
\nthem.
\nAnd he cares for us all. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:58,080 –> 00:07:59,480
\nEveryone of us here God cares
\nabout. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:59,720 –> 00:08:02,520
\nHe wants to make us to be better
\nservants for Him. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:02,960 –> 00:08:07,000
\nAnd often times we won’t face
\nthe aspects of our lives that <\/p>\n
\n00:08:07,000 –> 00:08:09,640
\nare the difficult aspects unless
\nsomething is put there to force <\/p>\n
\n00:08:09,640 –> 00:08:12,000
\nus to face it.
\nA dear brother of mine once said<\/p>\n
\n00:08:12,000 –> 00:08:14,120
\nthat we all have our little
\ncherished corners of darkness <\/p>\n
\n00:08:14,520 –> 00:08:16,840
\nthat we all like to hide and
\npretend aren’t there. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:17,280 –> 00:08:20,200
\nBut God puts trials in our lives
\nto force us to face those <\/p>\n
\n00:08:20,200 –> 00:08:22,960
\ntrials, to bring those little
\nbits in the darkness into the <\/p>\n
\n00:08:22,960 –> 00:08:25,520
\nlight and actually look at them
\nbecause it’s often those things <\/p>\n
\n00:08:25,520 –> 00:08:27,520
\nare the things that are holding
\nus back from being the best <\/p>\n
\n00:08:27,520 –> 00:08:30,600
\nservants we can for God.
\nSo for each of these ones, I’m <\/p>\n
\n00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:33,159
\nalso going to look through at an
\nexample in Scripture of someone <\/p>\n
\n00:08:33,159 –> 00:08:35,320
\nwho was in this stage of their
\nlife. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:36,120 –> 00:08:39,080
\nSo for trials, whenever I think
\nof someone who went through <\/p>\n
\n00:08:39,080 –> 00:08:40,400
\ntremendous trials, I think of
\nJoe. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:41,320 –> 00:08:43,520
\nSo we’ll turn over to Job
\nchapter 42. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:45,240 –> 00:08:47,760
\nSo, and we all know the story of
\nJob, how the, the tremendous <\/p>\n
\n00:08:47,760 –> 00:08:50,160
\ntrials that he went through in
\nhis life, he lost all of his <\/p>\n
\n00:08:50,160 –> 00:08:52,720
\npossessions, his children, his
\nhealth, even his own wife was <\/p>\n
\n00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:55,280
\nasking him, telling him to curse
\nGod so he could die. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:55,880 –> 00:09:00,480
\nBut because he remained faithful
\nat the end of his life, he was <\/p>\n
\n00:09:00,480 –> 00:09:03,920
\nrewarded for his faithfulness.
\nSo we go over when we read at <\/p>\n
\n00:09:03,920 –> 00:09:06,640
\nthe end of chapter 42 and it
\nsays, so the Lord blessed the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:06,640 –> 00:09:09,760
\nlatter end of Job more than the
\nbeginning for he had 14,000 <\/p>\n
\n00:09:09,760 –> 00:09:14,000
\nsheep, 6000 cabals, 1000
\nYokovacs and 1000 Shias’s. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:14,280 –> 00:09:16,200
\nHe also had seven sons and three
\ndaughters. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:16,840 –> 00:09:20,600
\nAnd then skipping down to verse
\n16 after this lived Job 140 <\/p>\n
\n00:09:20,600 –> 00:09:23,800
\nyears and saw his sons and his
\nsons, sons even 4 generations. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:23,920 –> 00:09:26,200
\nSo Job died being old and full
\nof years. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:27,240 –> 00:09:29,640
\nAnd when we go back and we look
\nat the letter that James wrote <\/p>\n
\n00:09:29,640 –> 00:09:33,040
\nin chapter 511, he says that Job
\nwas then known for his patience <\/p>\n
\n00:09:34,240 –> 00:09:36,640
\nbecause he was patient through
\nthe trials that God put in his <\/p>\n
\n00:09:36,640 –> 00:09:40,760
\nlives.
\nSo before we connect over to the<\/p>\n
\n00:09:40,760 –> 00:09:43,800
\nnext one in the sequence, we’re
\ngoing to turn over and read from<\/p>\n
\n00:09:43,800 –> 00:09:50,520
\nJames reading from verses two
\nand three and says, my brethren,<\/p>\n
\n00:09:50,800 –> 00:09:53,480
\ncount it all joy when you fall
\ninto diverse temptations, <\/p>\n
\n00:09:53,560 –> 00:09:58,520
\nknowing this, that the trying of
\nyour faith worketh patience when<\/p>\n
\n00:09:58,520 –> 00:10:00,680
\nthese trials are put into our
\nlives and we’ve all have <\/p>\n
\n00:10:00,680 –> 00:10:03,080
\ndifferent sorts of trials that
\nwe face that forces to look at <\/p>\n
\n00:10:03,080 –> 00:10:05,360
\nour aspects of our lives that we
\nmay not be able to look at on <\/p>\n
\n00:10:05,360 –> 00:10:08,880
\nour own.
\nWe have to wait often for these <\/p>\n
\n00:10:08,880 –> 00:10:12,000
\ntrials to be resolved in God’s
\ntime. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:12,080 –> 00:10:13,840
\nOften times when something
\ndifficult has been into our <\/p>\n
\n00:10:13,840 –> 00:10:16,440
\nlives, and I know for myself
\nespecially, there’s a problem. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:16,600 –> 00:10:18,160
\nAs a guy, I want to fix it right
\naway. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:21,560
\nAnd often times that’s not what
\nGod wants us to do. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:22,000 –> 00:10:24,480
\nThe trials and the things that
\nwe endure in our lives may take <\/p>\n
\n00:10:24,480 –> 00:10:27,320
\nweeks, months, or even years to
\nresolve, but there’s something <\/p>\n
\n00:10:27,320 –> 00:10:29,800
\nthat we have to patiently work
\nwith and wait for God to work in<\/p>\n
\n00:10:29,800 –> 00:10:32,120
\nour lives.
\nIn fact, if we turn over to <\/p>\n
\n00:10:32,120 –> 00:10:39,320
\nHebrews chapter 12, we see that
\nif we choose not to wait and not<\/p>\n
\n00:10:39,320 –> 00:10:41,960
\nto let God work in our lives in
\nthe way that he sees fit, He can<\/p>\n
\n00:10:41,960 –> 00:10:44,840
\nhave actually the opposite
\neffect of patiently waiting. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:44,840 –> 00:10:48,960
\nSo starting at verse seven says
\nif you endure chastening, God <\/p>\n
\n00:10:48,960 –> 00:10:52,000
\ndealeth with you as with sons,
\nfor what son is he whom the <\/p>\n
\n00:10:52,000 –> 00:10:55,040
\nFather chasten us not?
\nBut if ye be without chasement, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:55,120 –> 00:10:58,360
\nthen ye are not partakers and
\nwherefore you are partakers and <\/p>\n
\n00:10:58,360 –> 00:11:01,760
\nyou’re bastards and not sons.
\nThe trials that God puts in our <\/p>\n
\n00:11:01,760 –> 00:11:03,480
\nlives are not something that we
\nshould reject. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:03,600 –> 00:11:05,640
\nIt’s something we should accept,
\nthat we should embrace. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:07,280 –> 00:11:09,920
\nIn fact, if we turn just one
\nchapter over to Hebrews 11, when<\/p>\n
\n00:11:10,880 –> 00:11:14,760
\nwe look at an example of someone
\nwho was patient, tremendously <\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,760 –> 00:11:17,960
\npatient for what he was going
\nthrough, we think of the story <\/p>\n
\n00:11:17,960 –> 00:11:21,920
\nof a life of Abraham.
\nSo at reading in verse 17 of <\/p>\n
\n00:11:21,920 –> 00:11:25,040
\nChapter 11, it says by faith
\nAbraham when he was tried <\/p>\n
\n00:11:25,240 –> 00:11:28,360
\noffered up Isaac and he that
\nreceived the promises offered up<\/p>\n
\n00:11:28,360 –> 00:11:31,600
\nhis only begotten Son, of whom
\nit was said that in Isaac shall <\/p>\n
\n00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:34,360
\nthy seed be called accounting,
\nthat God was able to raise him <\/p>\n
\n00:11:34,360 –> 00:11:37,400
\nup even from the dead, from
\nwhence also he received him a <\/p>\n
\n00:11:37,400 –> 00:11:40,720
\nfigure.
\nSo we see that Abraham never <\/p>\n
\n00:11:40,720 –> 00:11:43,240
\nreceived the promises that God
\nhad promised to him. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:43,600 –> 00:11:45,400
\nHe had to wait, he had to be
\npatient. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:45,800 –> 00:11:48,200
\nAnd as a result through that the
\ntrials that he went through in <\/p>\n
\n00:11:48,200 –> 00:11:51,400
\nhis life, the things that God
\nasked of him, he grew and became<\/p>\n
\n00:11:51,400 –> 00:11:54,200
\na more faithful person.
\nAnd it is a countenant to him <\/p>\n
\n00:11:54,200 –> 00:11:56,120
\nfor righteousness because of the
\nfaith that he had. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:57,920 –> 00:12:01,400
\nThe next stage in the formula
\nthat God works in our lives is <\/p>\n
\n00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:04,200
\nexperience.
\nBecause after when we go endure <\/p>\n
\n00:12:04,200 –> 00:12:08,200
\ntrials and we endure those
\ntrials patiently, we grow and we<\/p>\n
\n00:12:08,200 –> 00:12:11,120
\nlearn more.
\nExperience can come from many <\/p>\n
\n00:12:11,120 –> 00:12:13,000
\ndifferent ways.
\nIt can come from working out the<\/p>\n
\n00:12:13,000 –> 00:12:16,360
\ntrial in God’s time.
\nIt can come from observing <\/p>\n
\n00:12:16,360 –> 00:12:20,240
\nsomeone else go through a trial.
\nSometimes trials are put into <\/p>\n
\n00:12:20,240 –> 00:12:23,360
\nour lives not necessarily for
\nour benefit that we will grow <\/p>\n
\n00:12:23,360 –> 00:12:25,880
\nfrom it, but also for the
\nbenefit of those around us and <\/p>\n
\n00:12:25,880 –> 00:12:28,880
\nthey when they watch and see how
\nwe endure those trials. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:30,160 –> 00:12:34,480
\nFor my example of someone who
\nhad to be patient and through it<\/p>\n
\n00:12:34,480 –> 00:12:37,040
\ngained experience, I thought of
\nDavid. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:37,320 –> 00:12:39,560
\nSo if we go over to first Samuel
\nchapter 26. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:43,840 –> 00:12:47,520
\nSo we all know about David, he
\nwas anointed king while he was <\/p>\n
\n00:12:47,520 –> 00:12:50,280
\nstill a relative youth while
\nSaul was still ruling over the <\/p>\n
\n00:12:50,280 –> 00:12:54,520
\nKingdom of Israel.
\nHowever, instead of scrambling <\/p>\n
\n00:12:54,600 –> 00:12:57,560
\nto take what he could have seen
\nis rightfully his seeing that he<\/p>\n
\n00:12:57,560 –> 00:13:00,160
\nwas the the next king and
\nwanting to accelerate that and <\/p>\n
\n00:13:00,160 –> 00:13:03,280
\ntake take what was his right
\naway, he decided to wait to <\/p>\n
\n00:13:03,280 –> 00:13:06,080
\nserve the king that he’d swore
\nto serve to honor his <\/p>\n
\n00:13:06,080 –> 00:13:08,360
\ncommitment.
\nSo if you look over at verse 7 <\/p>\n
\n00:13:08,360 –> 00:13:12,400
\nof 26 and first Samuel, it says
\nso David and Abhishai came to <\/p>\n
\n00:13:12,400 –> 00:13:14,880
\nthe people by night and behold,
\nSaul lay sleeping within the <\/p>\n
\n00:13:14,880 –> 00:13:17,360
\ntrench and his spear stuck in
\nthe ground at his bolster. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:17,560 –> 00:13:19,400
\nBut Abner and the people lay
\naround about him. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:19,760 –> 00:13:22,360
\nThen said to Abhishai to David,
\nGod hath delivered that enemy <\/p>\n
\n00:13:22,360 –> 00:13:24,800
\ninto thine hand this day.
\nNow therefore let me smite him, <\/p>\n
\n00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:27,960
\nI pray thee with the spear even
\nto the earth once and I will not<\/p>\n
\n00:13:27,960 –> 00:13:30,520
\nsmite him a second time.
\nAnd David said to Abhishai, <\/p>\n
\n00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:33,440
\ndestroy him not, for who can
\nstretch forth his hand against <\/p>\n
\n00:13:33,440 –> 00:13:34,760
\nLord’s anointing and be
\nguiltless? <\/p>\n
\n00:13:35,080 –> 00:13:37,440
\nDavid said, Furthermore, as the
\nLord liveth, the Lord shall <\/p>\n
\n00:13:37,440 –> 00:13:40,840
\nsmite him, or as day shall come
\nto die where he shall perish, or<\/p>\n
\n00:13:40,840 –> 00:13:42,800
\nhe shall descend into battle and
\nperish. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:43,200 –> 00:13:45,480
\nThe Lord forbid that I should
\nstretch forth my hand against <\/p>\n
\n00:13:45,480 –> 00:13:47,800
\nthe Lord’s anointed.
\nBut I pray thee, take now the <\/p>\n
\n00:13:47,800 –> 00:13:50,240
\nspear that is at his bolster,
\nand the cruise of water, and let<\/p>\n
\n00:13:50,240 –> 00:13:52,200
\nus go.
\nSo David took the spear and the <\/p>\n
\n00:13:52,200 –> 00:13:54,960
\ncruise of water from Saul’s
\nbolster, and they got them away,<\/p>\n
\n00:13:55,160 –> 00:13:58,680
\nand no man saw it, nor did they
\nknow it, because a deep sleep of<\/p>\n
\n00:13:58,680 –> 00:14:01,720
\nthe Lord had fallen upon them.
\nDavid had. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:01,720 –> 00:14:03,600
\nAnd this is the second
\nopportunity that David was given<\/p>\n
\n00:14:03,600 –> 00:14:06,280
\nwhere he could have killed Saul
\nand almost no one would have <\/p>\n
\n00:14:06,280 –> 00:14:08,160
\nknown about it except for him
\nand the men that were with him, <\/p>\n
\n00:14:08,280 –> 00:14:10,120
\nand he could have
\ninstantaneously been ascended <\/p>\n
\n00:14:10,120 –> 00:14:12,480
\ninto king.
\nBut he decided not to. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:12,480 –> 00:14:15,480
\nHe waited.
\nAnd as a result, because of it, <\/p>\n
\n00:14:15,800 –> 00:14:18,280
\nthe people respected him.
\nBecause he had served Saul <\/p>\n
\n00:14:18,320 –> 00:14:22,360
\nfaithfully, he had gained more
\nexperience in knowing how to <\/p>\n
\n00:14:22,360 –> 00:14:26,080
\nrule the nation of Israel as
\nGod’s representative. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:27,080 –> 00:14:30,560
\nAnd so when we get this
\nexperience, we go through the <\/p>\n
\n00:14:30,560 –> 00:14:33,720
\ntrials that we go in our life,
\nwe patiently let God work in our<\/p>\n
\n00:14:33,720 –> 00:14:36,400
\nlives in the manner that He sees
\nfit, and we gain experience <\/p>\n
\n00:14:36,400 –> 00:14:38,840
\nthrough it.
\nFrom that experience, we get an <\/p>\n
\n00:14:38,960 –> 00:14:42,680
\namazing hope.
\nWhenever I look back on my life,<\/p>\n
\n00:14:42,680 –> 00:14:44,440
\nand I’m sure you all have
\ncircumstances where you can do <\/p>\n
\n00:14:44,440 –> 00:14:45,520
\nthat too.
\nYou can look back and at the <\/p>\n
\n00:14:45,520 –> 00:14:47,680
\ntime you just had something
\ndifficult going on in your life <\/p>\n
\n00:14:47,680 –> 00:14:49,960
\nand you couldn’t make sense of
\nwhy it was happening. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:53,000
\nBut then after the fact, you
\ncould look back and you could <\/p>\n
\n00:14:53,000 –> 00:14:56,000
\nsee with that eye of faith that
\nGod had been working in our <\/p>\n
\n00:14:56,000 –> 00:14:59,080
\nlives.
\nWhen I try to think of something<\/p>\n
\n00:14:59,080 –> 00:15:01,960
\nthat I could see as a tremendous
\nway to build hope, I can think <\/p>\n
\n00:15:01,960 –> 00:15:03,320
\nnothing better than Bible
\nprophecy. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:03,520 –> 00:15:05,560
\nSo we’re going to look at a
\ncouple different things that <\/p>\n
\n00:15:05,600 –> 00:15:09,200
\nI’ve noticed recently that we
\ncan look at and see prophecy <\/p>\n
\n00:15:09,200 –> 00:15:11,160
\nbeing fulfilled as a way of
\nbuilding the hope, just in the <\/p>\n
\n00:15:11,160 –> 00:15:15,080
\nsame way that we can see God
\nworking our lives to build up <\/p>\n
\n00:15:15,120 –> 00:15:17,360
\nour faith.
\nSo if we go over to the first <\/p>\n
\n00:15:17,360 –> 00:15:23,480
\none, go over to Matthew 24
\nstarting at verse 32. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:24,880 –> 00:15:27,560
\nJesus was talking to his
\ndisciples when he said, now <\/p>\n
\n00:15:27,560 –> 00:15:30,400
\nlearn a parable of the fig tree
\nwhen his branch is yet tender <\/p>\n
\n00:15:30,400 –> 00:15:32,480
\nand put us forth leaves.
\nYou know that summer is nigh. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:32,680 –> 00:15:35,200
\nSo likewise you, when you see
\nall these things, know that it <\/p>\n
\n00:15:35,200 –> 00:15:38,400
\nis near even at the doors.
\nSo this was talking about Israel<\/p>\n
\n00:15:38,400 –> 00:15:41,480
\nbeing a nation, being reformed
\nas a nation. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:41,960 –> 00:15:44,720
\nAnd we were able to see that.
\nWell, I wasn’t able to, I wasn’t<\/p>\n
\n00:15:44,720 –> 00:15:47,240
\nalive, but some of the people
\nhere were able to see that <\/p>\n
\n00:15:47,240 –> 00:15:48,600
\nhappen.
\nAnd we’re able to see the nation<\/p>\n
\n00:15:48,600 –> 00:15:51,480
\nof Israel continue to thrive to
\nthis day, continuing to go <\/p>\n
\n00:15:51,480 –> 00:15:54,320
\nstrong even despite the fact
\nthat they’re surrounded on all <\/p>\n
\n00:15:54,320 –> 00:15:56,480
\nsides.
\nIn fact, they’re surrounded on <\/p>\n
\n00:15:56,480 –> 00:15:59,240
\nall sides by nations that want
\nto destroy them so much that if <\/p>\n
\n00:15:59,240 –> 00:16:02,920
\nwe go over to Ezekiel, I saw an
\narticle that was talking about <\/p>\n
\n00:16:02,920 –> 00:16:05,560
\nIsrael trying to build up the
\nwall in the West Bank to try to <\/p>\n
\n00:16:05,560 –> 00:16:07,960
\nseparate themselves from the
\npeople that are attending <\/p>\n
\n00:16:07,960 –> 00:16:10,360
\nsuicide bombers, trying to
\ndestroy their people. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:11,600 –> 00:16:15,200
\nAnd in a way this was prophesied
\nin Ezekiel chapter 38. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:15,440 –> 00:16:19,240
\nStarting at verse 11, it says
\nthou shalt say I will go up into<\/p>\n
\n00:16:19,240 –> 00:16:21,760
\nthe land of unwalled villages.
\nI will go to them that are at <\/p>\n
\n00:16:21,760 –> 00:16:24,840
\nrest, that dwell safely, all of
\nthem dwelling without walls, <\/p>\n
\n00:16:25,000 –> 00:16:28,840
\nneither having bars nor gates.
\nThen we jump down to verse 14, <\/p>\n
\n00:16:28,960 –> 00:16:31,640
\nsays therefore, Son of man,
\nprophecy and Santa go thus saith<\/p>\n
\n00:16:31,640 –> 00:16:34,080
\nthe Lord God.
\nAnd that day when my people of <\/p>\n
\n00:16:34,080 –> 00:16:35,640
\nIsrael dwell safely, shall they
\nnot? <\/p>\n
\n00:16:35,680 –> 00:16:38,640
\nShall thou not know it?
\nAnd thou shalt come from thy <\/p>\n
\n00:16:38,640 –> 00:16:41,280
\nplace out of the north part,
\nthou and many people with thee, <\/p>\n
\n00:16:41,280 –> 00:16:43,440
\nall of them riding upon horses,
\na great company in a mighty <\/p>\n
\n00:16:43,440 –> 00:16:45,000
\narmy.
\nAnd thou shalt come up against <\/p>\n
\n00:16:45,000 –> 00:16:47,320
\nmy people Israel as a cloud
\ncover the land. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:47,720 –> 00:16:49,920
\nAnd it shall be in the latter
\ndays that I will bring thee <\/p>\n
\n00:16:49,920 –> 00:16:53,680
\nagainst my land, and that he
\ndidn’t know me when I shall be <\/p>\n
\n00:16:53,680 –> 00:16:58,240
\nsanctified in the O Gog before
\ntheir eyes, Israel is trying to <\/p>\n
\n00:16:58,240 –> 00:17:02,280
\nfigure out a way to have safety.
\nAnd when I saw the article, when<\/p>\n
\n00:17:02,280 –> 00:17:04,000
\nthey were talking about trying
\nto build up a wall, and their <\/p>\n
\n00:17:04,000 –> 00:17:05,960
\nidea was to try to separate
\nthemselves from the people that <\/p>\n
\n00:17:05,960 –> 00:17:09,200
\nwere trying to destroy them, I
\ncould think right now each house<\/p>\n
\n00:17:09,200 –> 00:17:11,720
\nin there has their own little
\nindividual fortifications that <\/p>\n
\n00:17:11,720 –> 00:17:13,160
\nthey build up to secure
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:13,359 –> 00:17:15,400
\nBut if they try to make some
\nsort of secure border control, <\/p>\n
\n00:17:15,680 –> 00:17:17,839
\nthey wouldn’t need necessarily
\nall those individual <\/p>\n
\n00:17:17,839 –> 00:17:19,880
\nfortifications.
\nSo you could come to this point <\/p>\n
\n00:17:20,160 –> 00:17:23,400
\nwhere each individual town is no
\nlonger fortified, but instead <\/p>\n
\n00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:26,480
\nit’s the border.
\nSo that was one thing that I saw<\/p>\n
\n00:17:28,119 –> 00:17:29,640
\nthe other one.
\nAnd this is something that’s <\/p>\n
\n00:17:29,640 –> 00:17:31,560
\nreally interesting.
\nIf you turn over to Psalms <\/p>\n
\n00:17:32,000 –> 00:17:37,240
\nchapter 83, starting at verse
\none. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:38,360 –> 00:17:41,080
\nKeep not thou silence, O God,
\nHold not thy peace. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:41,080 –> 00:17:44,680
\nBe not still, O God, for LO, thy
\nenemies make a tumult, and they <\/p>\n
\n00:17:44,680 –> 00:17:46,040
\nhate thee that lift up their
\nhead. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:46,280 –> 00:17:48,960
\nThey have taken crafty counsel
\nagainst thy people and consulted<\/p>\n
\n00:17:48,960 –> 00:17:51,320
\nagainst thy hidden one.
\nThey have said come let us cut <\/p>\n
\n00:17:51,320 –> 00:17:53,760
\nthem off from being a nation,
\nthat the name of Israel may be <\/p>\n
\n00:17:53,760 –> 00:17:56,720
\nremembered no more, for they
\nhave consulted together with one<\/p>\n
\n00:17:56,720 –> 00:17:58,760
\nconsent.
\nThey are confederate against it.<\/p>\n
\n00:17:59,760 –> 00:18:01,880
\nI wanted to read you a few
\nquotes that I found from <\/p>\n
\n00:18:01,880 –> 00:18:04,800
\ndifferent Islamic groups when it
\ncomes to referring to to Israel.<\/p>\n
\n00:18:05,360 –> 00:18:10,000
\nIn 1968 a man by the name of
\nHassan Albana of the Muslim <\/p>\n
\n00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:12,440
\nBrotherhood said if the Jewish
\nstate becomes a fact, the Arabs <\/p>\n
\n00:18:12,440 –> 00:18:14,920
\nwill drive the Jews who live in
\ntheir midst into the sea. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:15,720 –> 00:18:18,440
\nThe charter of Hamas, the
\nterrorist group, states that <\/p>\n
\n00:18:18,440 –> 00:18:22,360
\ntheir their aim is to liberate
\nPalestine from Jordan to the sea<\/p>\n
\n00:18:22,600 –> 00:18:25,920
\nand that Israel will continue to
\nexist until Islam obliterates <\/p>\n
\n00:18:25,920 –> 00:18:28,360
\nit.
\nAnother spiritual leader in them<\/p>\n
\n00:18:28,520 –> 00:18:32,720
\nnamed Hassan Naral says there is
\nno solution to the Arab Israeli <\/p>\n
\n00:18:32,720 –> 00:18:34,760
\nconflict except the
\ndisappearance of Israel. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:38,000
\nAnd then one of the prayers that
\nthis same man made, he said, O <\/p>\n
\n00:18:38,000 –> 00:18:41,480
\nAllah, destroy America that is
\ncontrolled by Zionist Jews. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:44,240
\nAllah will avenge in the name of
\nthe Prophet the colonious <\/p>\n
\n00:18:44,240 –> 00:18:47,160
\nsettlers who are the descendants
\nof monkeys and pigs. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:48,240 –> 00:18:51,120
\nSo we can see in the statements
\nof the people surround the <\/p>\n
\n00:18:51,120 –> 00:18:53,640
\nnation surrounding Israel are
\nmaking a fulfillment of what was<\/p>\n
\n00:18:53,640 –> 00:18:57,640
\nbeing said in Psalm 83.
\nThe nations around Israel are <\/p>\n
\n00:18:57,640 –> 00:19:00,040
\njoining together because they
\nwant to wipe Israel out. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:00,440 –> 00:19:02,760
\nThey want them to be completely
\neliminated. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:04,120 –> 00:19:06,560
\nThe ultimate prophecy that we
\nall want to see fulfilled is <\/p>\n
\n00:19:06,560 –> 00:19:09,240
\nover.
\nIn Revelation 21 and reading the<\/p>\n
\n00:19:09,240 –> 00:19:13,640
\n1st 7 verses, it says I saw a
\nnew heaven and a new earth, For <\/p>\n
\n00:19:13,640 –> 00:19:15,760
\nthe 1st heaven and the first
\nearth were passed away, and <\/p>\n
\n00:19:15,760 –> 00:19:18,880
\nthere was no more sea.
\nAnd I, John, saw the holy city, <\/p>\n
\n00:19:18,880 –> 00:19:21,600
\nNew Jerusalem, coming down from
\nGod out of heaven, prepared as a<\/p>\n
\n00:19:21,600 –> 00:19:24,440
\nbride adorned for her husband.
\nAnd I heard a great voice out of<\/p>\n
\n00:19:24,440 –> 00:19:27,280
\nheaven saying, Behold,
\nTabernacle of God is with men, <\/p>\n
\n00:19:27,480 –> 00:19:29,960
\nand he will dwell with them, and
\nthey shall be his people, and <\/p>\n
\n00:19:29,960 –> 00:19:32,400
\nGod himself shall be with them
\nand be their God. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:33,040 –> 00:19:36,240
\nAnd God shall wipe away all
\ntears from their eyes, and there<\/p>\n
\n00:19:36,240 –> 00:19:39,240
\nshall be no more death, neither
\nsorrow nor crying, neither shall<\/p>\n
\n00:19:39,240 –> 00:19:41,800
\nthere be any more pain, for the
\nformer things are passed away. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:42,360 –> 00:19:44,800
\nAnd he that sat upon the throne
\nsaid, Behold, I make all things <\/p>\n
\n00:19:44,800 –> 00:19:46,440
\nnew.
\nAnd he said unto me, right, For <\/p>\n
\n00:19:46,440 –> 00:19:47,800
\nthese words are faithful and
\ntrue. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:48,160 –> 00:19:51,200
\nAnd he said unto me, it is done.
\nI am the alpha and the Omega, <\/p>\n
\n00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:54,840
\nthe beginning and the end I will
\ngive unto him that is a thirst <\/p>\n
\n00:19:54,840 –> 00:19:56,600
\nfountain of the water of life
\nfreely. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:56,880 –> 00:19:59,720
\nHe that overcometh shall inherit
\nall things, and I will be his <\/p>\n
\n00:19:59,720 –> 00:20:03,880
\nGod, and he shall be my son.
\nSo ultimately that’s that’s the <\/p>\n
\n00:20:03,880 –> 00:20:05,880
\nprophecy that we all wanted to
\nsee fulfilled. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:05,880 –> 00:20:07,760
\nAnd we can see through the
\ndifferent things that are <\/p>\n
\n00:20:07,760 –> 00:20:10,000
\nhappening in the world, signs
\nthat that prophecy is coming <\/p>\n
\n00:20:10,000 –> 00:20:13,640
\ncloser to being fulfilled.
\nIt’s with the hope, with that <\/p>\n
\n00:20:13,640 –> 00:20:15,720
\neye of faith that we gain
\nthrough the patiently waiting <\/p>\n
\n00:20:15,720 –> 00:20:17,280
\nthrough the trials and the
\nexperience we gain from those <\/p>\n
\n00:20:17,280 –> 00:20:21,360
\ntrials that were able to see
\nGod’s hand in the world around <\/p>\n
\n00:20:21,360 –> 00:20:23,720
\nus.
\nWe’re able to see different <\/p>\n
\n00:20:23,720 –> 00:20:26,680
\nprophecies being fulfilled, see
\nthe signs that the Kingdom is <\/p>\n
\n00:20:26,680 –> 00:20:29,320
\ngoing to come soon, that He
\ncould come at this very moment. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:31,200 –> 00:20:33,760
\nWe can all look forward to that
\nwonderful time when that’s going<\/p>\n
\n00:20:33,760 –> 00:20:36,600
\nto be established.
\nWe should remember the words <\/p>\n
\n00:20:36,760 –> 00:20:42,440
\nthat were said when Paul wrote
\nto the Romans in chapter 8 says <\/p>\n
\n00:20:42,440 –> 00:20:45,720
\nwe know that all things work
\ntogether for the good of them <\/p>\n
\n00:20:45,720 –> 00:20:49,200
\nthat love God to them who are
\ncalled according to his purpose.<\/p>\n
\n00:20:50,360 –> 00:20:52,840
\nWe need to remember that
\neverything that we go through, <\/p>\n
\n00:20:53,040 –> 00:20:57,520
\nwhether it be wonderful or
\npainful or sorrowful, isn’t just<\/p>\n
\n00:20:57,520 –> 00:21:00,760
\nput there for happenstance.
\nIt isn’t just something that God<\/p>\n
\n00:21:00,760 –> 00:21:02,720
\nkind of throws it out there just
\nto have something happened to us<\/p>\n
\n00:21:02,720 –> 00:21:05,080
\nso we have something going on.
\nHe’s molding us. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:05,320 –> 00:21:09,280
\nHe’s trying to make us better.
\nHe’s trying to make us to be <\/p>\n
\n00:21:09,520 –> 00:21:11,600
\nfaithful followers.
\nAnd so instead of seeing these <\/p>\n
\n00:21:11,600 –> 00:21:13,880
\nas trials, they’re like, oh,
\nthese are so difficult. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:14,240 –> 00:21:18,040
\nInstead, we should see these as
\nlittle tweaks that God is making<\/p>\n
\n00:21:18,040 –> 00:21:20,880
\nin us so that we can be better
\nservants for him, so that we can<\/p>\n
\n00:21:20,880 –> 00:21:23,960
\nbe more capable to serve him, to
\nfill the earth with his glory, <\/p>\n
\n00:21:24,120 –> 00:21:26,960
\nto take away all the falseness,
\nall the lying, all the sin, to <\/p>\n
\n00:21:27,080 –> 00:21:31,280
\nbe able to eliminate that.
\nSo ultimately, that’s the reason<\/p>\n
\n00:21:31,280 –> 00:21:34,280
\nwhy every Sunday we gather here
\ntogether to partake of the bread<\/p>\n
\n00:21:34,280 –> 00:21:37,880
\nand the wine, to renew the
\npromise we made when we were <\/p>\n
\n00:21:37,880 –> 00:21:40,920
\nbaptized.
\nWe come here to ask God for the <\/p>\n
\n00:21:40,920 –> 00:21:44,120
\nstrength to face the trials that
\nare in our lives. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:44,920 –> 00:21:48,040
\nWe are here to ask God for the
\npatience to have these trials <\/p>\n
\n00:21:48,040 –> 00:21:51,440
\nresolved in His time.
\nWe’re here to reflect on the <\/p>\n
\n00:21:51,440 –> 00:21:53,920
\nexperience of enduring those
\ntrials that we’ve received. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:54,240 –> 00:21:56,400
\nTo be able to see when God is
\nworking our lives, to be able to<\/p>\n
\n00:21:56,560 –> 00:21:59,960
\ngain the hope that we were able
\nto gain from that experience and<\/p>\n
\n00:21:59,960 –> 00:22:04,360
\nbeing able to see God’s hand in
\nthe world around us until the <\/p>\n
\n00:22:04,360 –> 00:22:06,600
\ntime does come.
\nAnd I pray that it comes soon <\/p>\n
\n00:22:06,600 –> 00:22:09,640
\nthat we were all able to sing
\nand dance and and be in <\/p>\n
\n00:22:09,640 –> 00:22:12,520
\nJerusalem together with our Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:13,000 –> 00:22:15,640
\nThat I pray that God will be
\nwith you in your trials, that he<\/p>\n
\n00:22:15,640 –> 00:22:17,720
\nwill grant you the patience to
\nendure the trials that we all <\/p>\n
\n00:22:17,720 –> 00:22:19,520
\nface.
\nThat it will gift you the <\/p>\n
\n00:22:19,520 –> 00:22:23,160
\nexperience from your patience.
\nAnd that he will bless you with <\/p>\n
\n00:22:23,160 –> 00:22:26,160
\nrenewed hope and faith until the
\nwords written at the end of <\/p>\n
\n00:22:26,160 –> 00:22:28,200
\nRevelation by John are
\nfulfilled. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:28,480 –> 00:22:31,840
\nWhich reads, he which testifieth
\nthese things saith, surely I <\/p>\n
\n00:22:31,840 –> 00:22:35,560
\ncome quickly, Amen.
\nEven so, come Lord Jesus, the <\/p>\n
\n00:22:35,560 –> 00:22:37,560
\ngrace of our Lord Jesus Christ
\nbe with you all. <\/p>\n
