\ntalk.
\nYou’re about to hear and now <\/p>\n

8

\nlet’s hear more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,900 –> 00:00:53,200
\nFor talk this week.
\nWe’re listening to an evening <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:56,000
\nprogram that was given at the
\nWashington Bible school. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:56,300 –> 00:00:59,300
\nJust this past year.
\nMy brother Nathan Lewis the <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:59,300 –> 00:01:02,900
\ntopic of his evening program is
\nhow fast are you running? <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,300 –> 00:01:04,800
\nAnd in this evening program
\nbrother? <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:04,800 –> 00:01:08,900
\nNathan is taking a look at the
\npace at which we are living our <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:08,900 –> 00:01:13,600
\nlives and how that the world is
\ncontinually trying to increase <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:13,900 –> 00:01:16,300
\nthe pace in the speed at which
\nwe do everything. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:16,300 –> 00:01:20,000
\nHe makes reference to a study
\nthat shows that every year <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:22,400
\nthings.
\nAre getting Faster by 10% <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:22,400 –> 00:01:25,800
\nprogressively everything from
\nthe the response times to when <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:25,800 –> 00:01:27,900
\nwe need information to how
\nquickly people expect <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:27,900 –> 00:01:30,600
\ninformation the instant
\ngratification that everybody’s <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:30,600 –> 00:01:34,700
\nexpecting now in in the world is
\nonly ramping up as more and more<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:34,700 –> 00:01:37,600
\ntime goes on.
\nIt starts in the beginning just <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:37,600 –> 00:01:41,300
\nby looking at some of the world
\nevents about how things are just<\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:41,300 –> 00:01:44,800
\nstarting to move faster and
\nfaster down a direction that to <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:44,800 –> 00:01:48,600
\nus looks and points to the signs
\nof the return of Christ. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:48,800 –> 00:01:51,400
\nBut to the world just looks like
\nthings rolling out of control <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:51,700 –> 00:01:56,600
\nand then pivots from that to
\nlook at how a life lived in the <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:56,600 –> 00:02:00,300
\nworld versus lived for God is so
\ndifferent, you know talking <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:00,300 –> 00:02:04,700
\nabout how that at work and at
\nschool everything supposed to <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:04,700 –> 00:02:08,300
\nbe, you know, real fast real
\nquick as quickly as you possibly<\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:08,300 –> 00:02:10,900
\ncan this topic felt really
\npointing to me because it’s been<\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:10,900 –> 00:02:15,000
\nsomething I’ve been noticing
\nmore recently as with work and <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:15,700 –> 00:02:18,300
\nfamily and everything going on
\nthat they’re just always seems <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:18,300 –> 00:02:21,300
\nto be more to do and you’re
\ntrying to say He’s as much as <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:21,300 –> 00:02:24,800
\nyou can into every spare moment
\nyou have what I really <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:24,800 –> 00:02:28,700
\nappreciated about.
\nNathan’s class is the reminder <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:28,700 –> 00:02:34,000
\nthat God wants us not to be
\ngoing as fast as humanly <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:36,400
\npossible to try to get
\neverything in as quickly as we <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:36,400 –> 00:02:39,400
\ncan and do as much as we can in
\nthe time allotted but instead to<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:40,200 –> 00:02:45,600
\nstand still to focus and be
\nstill which allows you to focus <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:45,600 –> 00:02:48,900
\non God and to be able to hear
\nthat still small voice inside <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:48,900 –> 00:02:53,900
\nyou and Understand what God is
\nwanting you to do and to be able<\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:53,900 –> 00:02:57,200
\nto live a life for him.
\nAnd that life is one that takes <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:58,300 –> 00:03:02,400
\nmeditation and contemplation and
\nfocus because when you’re going <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:02,400 –> 00:03:06,000
\nsuper fast you’re going as
\nquickly as you can you’re <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:06,000 –> 00:03:08,500
\nreacting.
\nYou’re not thinking and when <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:08,500 –> 00:03:13,000
\nyou’re reacting then the
\nreactions that are governing <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:13,000 –> 00:03:16,300
\nyour decisions are not of God.
\nThere are men because our own <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:16,300 –> 00:03:20,200
\ninstincts are fleshly.
\nThey’re not spiritual. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:21,100 –> 00:03:25,800
\nSo I just felt this was a in
\nparticular for the point in my <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:25,800 –> 00:03:27,900
\nlife that I’m at right now is a
\nreally good reminder. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:28,600 –> 00:03:33,200
\nAnd the way the world is going
\nwith companies making the <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:35,200
\ntransition to where it’s less
\nabout whether or not you’re in <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:35,200 –> 00:03:37,200
\nthe office to work.
\nBut just that you know your <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:37,200 –> 00:03:39,400
\naccessible and then you can work
\nwherever you want. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:39,400 –> 00:03:41,900
\nHowever you want but that also
\nmeans that that work is always <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:41,900 –> 00:03:46,000
\nat your fingertips and always
\naccessible is something that is <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:46,000 –> 00:03:48,700
\nonly going to become more
\nprevalent as time goes on so <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:49,400 –> 00:03:52,700
\nit’s a really enjoyable.
\nA really good lesson and a good <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:52,700 –> 00:03:57,100
\nreminder that as the world kind
\nof spins up and accelerates <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:57,100 –> 00:03:59,000
\nbeyond that.
\nIt’s important for us to step <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:04,200
\nback and stand still and pause
\nand consider to make sure that <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:04,500 –> 00:04:07,500
\nyou are staying focused on the
\nthings of God and not just <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:07,500 –> 00:04:10,100
\ngetting caught up in the rat
\nrace that the rest of the world <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:10,100 –> 00:04:12,900
\nis in.
\nSo as always if you have any <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:12,900 –> 00:04:16,800
\nsuggestions for classes or
\ntopics that you think would be <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:17,300 –> 00:04:20,399
\nbeneficial to share to everybody
\non the everybody else, please <\/p>\n

\nSend them in send a mass email
\nor share them with us on our <\/p>\n

70

\nsocial media and thank you for
\nall those that have already sent<\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:26,700 –> 00:04:29,400
\nthem in and with that.
\nWe’ll turn it over to brother <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:33,100
\nNathan Louis for his evening
\nprogram titled how fast are you <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:35,400
\nrunning?
\nI want to look at a little <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:37,900
\nsomething tonight a little theme
\nfrom the scriptures, which I <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:37,900 –> 00:04:42,100
\nhope you’ll find
\nthought-provoking and exhort <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:42,100 –> 00:04:45,500
\national.
\nI don’t think there’s any doubt <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:45,500 –> 00:04:49,900
\nin the minds of any of us that
\nwe live in the end times. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:50,800 –> 00:04:54,700
\nThe time of the end the time
\nwhen Jesus Christ is about to <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:54,700 –> 00:04:57,800
\nreturn there are signs and
\nabundance that Christ is almost <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:57,800 –> 00:05:00,700
\nhere.
\nIsrael is back in the land. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:01,200 –> 00:05:07,200
\nWe looked last night at the rise
\nof anti-Semitism Puritans making<\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:07,200 –> 00:05:10,600
\nmoves in Russia.
\nThere’s Pope Francis. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:10,600 –> 00:05:17,000
\nHas it communicable croaking the
\npowers of Europe are getting <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:17,000 –> 00:05:21,000
\ntogether.
\nBricks it in the UK getting out <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:24,300
\nof the EU.
\nThere’s signs aplenty on every <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:24,300 –> 00:05:26,300
\nside.
\nBut what about us? <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:27,600 –> 00:05:30,000
\nWhat about us?
\nWhat about something a little <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:30,000 –> 00:05:33,200
\nmore personal in the way of
\nsigns of the times? <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:33,500 –> 00:05:37,700
\nWhat will the time of the end be
\nlike for us the disciples? <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:38,200 –> 00:05:41,700
\nWhat do the scriptures have to
\ntell us about those that are <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:41,700 –> 00:05:45,200
\nalive at the coming of Christ
\nand what they’ll have to contend<\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:48,900
\nwith and do you know when you
\nstart sort of taking away as <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:48,900 –> 00:05:54,000
\nEzekiel 38 and Zechariah 14 and
\nRevelation in the times of the <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:54,000 –> 00:05:56,800
\nend prophecies and ask yourself
\nthe question. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:57,200 –> 00:06:00,300
\nWhat does the Bible have to say
\nabout what the truth will be <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:00,300 –> 00:06:05,500
\nlike for us?
\nThere’s not actually that many <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:05,500 –> 00:06:09,200
\nscriptures these things that we
\nthink might apply to us maybe <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:14,400
\nfrom Matthew chapter 24, but
\nmaybe have mostly an application<\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:14,400 –> 00:06:19,800
\nto the disciples and AD 70, but
\nthere is a prophecy that talks <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:19,800 –> 00:06:23,700
\njust about our end time and I’d
\nlike you to come there. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:23,900 –> 00:06:43,300
\nIt’s Daniel and chapter 12.
\nDaniel chapter 12 and verse 4 <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:45,000 –> 00:06:51,100
\nbut thou o Daniel shut up the
\nwords and seal the book even to <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:51,100 –> 00:06:54,100
\nthe time of the end.
\nThat’s our time. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:54,100 –> 00:06:58,400
\nWe live as we said in the time
\nof the end for in the time of <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:58,400 –> 00:07:07,000
\nthe end many shall run to and
\nfro and knowledge shall be <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:07,000 –> 00:07:10,600
\nincreased.
\nSo we’re told here in Daniel <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:10,600 –> 00:07:13,200
\nchapter 12 that are
\ncharacteristic of the age in <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:13,200 –> 00:07:16,900
\nwhich we live when I still
\nreturn is that everything’s <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:16,900 –> 00:07:21,400
\ngoing really fast.
\nWe seem to be told that we’re <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:21,400 –> 00:07:24,600
\ngoing to live in a world stuck
\nin fast forward. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:25,000 –> 00:07:28,200
\nIt’s true, isn’t it?
\nWe do we live in a world that’s <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:28,200 –> 00:07:32,000
\nobsessed with speed with
\ncramming more and more into less<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:32,000 –> 00:07:35,400
\nand less.
\nEveryday is like a race against <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:37,100
\nthe clock.
\nWe shouldn’t be surprised. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:37,100 –> 00:07:41,200
\nShould we because Daniel said
\nmany will run to and fro the <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:46,100
\nspent at frantic pace of life is
\ncharacteristic of our age. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:46,100 –> 00:07:50,200
\nIt’s an age of speed and so to
\nmake things better. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:50,200 –> 00:07:51,800
\nWe speak them up you think about
\nit? <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:51,800 –> 00:07:55,600
\nWe used to have food now we have
\nfast food. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:56,800 –> 00:08:01,900
\nWe used to dial now.
\nWe speed dial we used to read <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:02,200 –> 00:08:04,600
\nnow.
\nWe speed-read we used to walk <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:04,700 –> 00:08:08,000
\nnow.
\nWe speed walk we used to date. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:08,200 –> 00:08:13,700
\nWell people used to date now
\npeople speed date kids used to <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:13,700 –> 00:08:14,500
\nhave braces.
\nNow. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:14,500 –> 00:08:17,700
\nThey have speed braces.
\nWe used to cook now. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:17,700 –> 00:08:22,600
\nWe have Jamie Oliver’s team
\nminute meals in America a few <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:25,600
\nyears ago at McDonald’s.
\nIf you didn’t get your order <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:25,600 –> 00:08:29,100
\nunder 60 seconds, it was called
\nthe 62nd challenge. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:29,100 –> 00:08:33,400
\nIt was free normal fast food was
\nnot even fast enough instant. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:33,400 –> 00:08:35,600
\nGratification was almost too
\nslow. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:36,900 –> 00:08:41,600
\nDo you know in 2003 a Texan man
\nwas giving a speech that was <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:41,600 –> 00:08:46,000
\ngiven a speeding ticket for
\nspeeding in a hundred kilometers<\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:46,100 –> 00:08:51,200
\nan hour Zone.
\nNow he was not going a hundred <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:51,200 –> 00:09:00,200
\nkilometers. or 200 kilometers or
\n300 kilometers. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:01,500 –> 00:09:07,500
\nHe was going 389 kilometers an
\nhour. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:09,100 –> 00:09:13,600
\nThat’s the age in which we live
\ntwo hundred years ago. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:14,200 –> 00:09:17,200
\nThe fastest you could go was on
\nthe back of a horse. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:17,500 –> 00:09:24,200
\nDo you agree?
\nNow nessa’s scramjet does 11,200<\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:28,400
\n65 kilometers an hour.
\nThat’s about three kilometers a <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:28,400 –> 00:09:31,300
\nsecond.
\nIf you traveled from Ontario to <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:31,300 –> 00:09:36,900
\nhear his brother Dan did 4,000
\nmy kilometers you could do that <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:36,900 –> 00:09:41,000
\nin about 20 minutes.
\nThe age in which we live is an <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:41,000 –> 00:09:47,000
\nage of unprecedented speed.
\nNow Professor Richard Wiseman <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:47,000 –> 00:09:50,200
\nfrom the UK did a very
\ninteresting study in <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:54,500
\ninternational study in 2007
\nwhere he established that the <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:54,500 –> 00:09:59,000
\naverage walking pace of your
\naverage person on the street was<\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:04,700
\na pretty good indicator on the
\npace of Life a pretty reliable <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:09,900
\nmeasurement and he had data from
\n1994 and he compared it to fresh<\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:09,900 –> 00:10:14,500
\ndata that he took in different
\ncities around the world in 2007.<\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:14,800 –> 00:10:21,200
\nYou know what he found globally
\nin just 13 years the pace of <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:21,200 –> 00:10:30,900
\nlife. had increased 10% in
\nSingapore it increased 30% you <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:30,900 –> 00:10:34,000
\njust think about that brothers
\nand sisters in young people in <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:34,000 –> 00:10:40,500
\n10 years.
\nYou are doing everything 10% <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:40,500 –> 00:10:43,900
\nfaster.
\nThat’s just amazing. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:44,200 –> 00:10:48,800
\nIt’s incredible.
\nWe used to conform to Nature’s <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:48,800 –> 00:10:52,100
\ntimetable week to beard when it
\ngot dark. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:52,200 –> 00:10:55,200
\nWe got up when it got light.
\nWe ate more when there was <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:55,200 –> 00:11:00,000
\nplentiful food in the summer and
\nin the winter We Shrunk and got <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:00,000 –> 00:11:04,000
\nsmaller and everything seemed to
\nwork with the Industrial Age. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:04,000 –> 00:11:07,100
\nNow we can stay up later.
\nWe can work longer we can work <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:07,100 –> 00:11:11,100
\nharder we can shop later with
\nthe technology and internet <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:11,100 –> 00:11:13,100
\nRevolution.
\nThe pace of life has just gone <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:13,100 –> 00:11:15,200
\nup again.
\nWe can have instant messaging <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:15,200 –> 00:11:18,500
\nmessenger.
\nWe’re contact about every hour <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:18,500 –> 00:11:20,900
\nof the day.
\nWe feel frazzled. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:21,800 –> 00:11:25,400
\nWe feel disconnected from
\nNature’s pace. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:26,700 –> 00:11:31,100
\nHere’s some statistics for you
\nthirty-six percent of people <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:40,100
\nright now are feeling rushed all

171
\n00:11:51,000 –> 00:11:55,000

\ntime off almost half the people <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:55,100 –> 00:11:58,100
\nworking in America.
\nThey want to take time off not <\/p>\n

\ngoing to the dentist to have a <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:02,500 –> 00:12:06,400
\nbreak.
\nI mean what is happening <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:09,400
\nbrothers and sisters?
\nI mean, this is beautiful thing <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:09,500 –> 00:12:12,400
\nthat’s good for business, but
\nit’s telling us something isn’t <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:12,400 –> 00:12:14,700
\nit?
\nIt’s telling us something in a <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:14,708 –> 00:12:20,700
\nstudy of 550 people on the speed
\nof Life 50% of them admitted to <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:20,700 –> 00:12:26,200
\ndriving through red lights 60%
\ndecided to use the car and see <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:26,200 –> 00:12:33,100
\nthem take a short walk. 75% of
\npeople would rather hang up then<\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:33,100 –> 00:12:37,400
\nstay on hold.
\nAnd Eighty-Four percent of <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:41,400
\npeople admitted to walking on
\nthe escalators just to gain an <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:41,400 –> 00:12:47,000
\nextra couple of seconds.
\nIf statistics seen you to sleep <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:53,900
\nthen how about this one 37% of
\nAmericans in 2005 admitted to <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:53,900 –> 00:13:00,300
\nfalling asleep at the wheel?
\n37% that’s a hundred and three <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:00,300 –> 00:13:06,100
\nmillion Americans in 2005 fell
\nasleep sometime in the year at <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:06,100 –> 00:13:07,900
\nthe wheel.
\nWhy is this happening? <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:13,400
\nPeople are feeling overwhelmed
\nthe pace of life is too much <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:13,400 –> 00:13:16,900
\nyou’re driving and you’re just
\nso tired you fall asleep. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:17,000 –> 00:13:21,500
\nAnd actually the amazing thing
\nis that 13% of those people that<\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:21,500 –> 00:13:24,400
\nadmitted to doing it once in the
\nyear admitted that they did it <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:24,400 –> 00:13:27,900
\nprobably once a month.
\nSomething’s happening out there <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:27,900 –> 00:13:31,500
\nbrothers and sisters the world
\nthat we live in wants to go <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:31,500 –> 00:13:38,200
\nfaster and faster and faster and
\nwe need to recognize that that <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:38,200 –> 00:13:41,300
\npace of life is toxic to the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:41,800 –> 00:13:46,400
\nWe have to recalibrate somehow
\nwe have to disconnect and slow <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:46,400 –> 00:13:51,500
\ndown because in the headlong –
\nof daily life, it’s very easy to<\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:51,500 –> 00:13:56,400
\nlose sight of the damage that
\nthis does too. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:56,700 –> 00:13:58,900
\nOur life to our lives in the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:59,700 –> 00:14:02,900
\nWe’re so marinated in this
\nculture of speed that we failed <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:02,900 –> 00:14:06,300
\nto notice the toll that it’s
\ntaking on our lives a spiritual <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:06,300 –> 00:14:08,100
\nlives.
\nWe find that we’re hurrying <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:08,100 –> 00:14:13,500
\nthrough our day rather than
\nliving each day for God. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:14,900 –> 00:14:21,000
\nLet me ask you a question.
\nHave you ever wondered why not a<\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:21,008 –> 00:14:26,500
\nsingle country in the world
\ndecides to increase their top <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:26,500 –> 00:14:28,500
\nspeed limit of a hundred
\nkilometers an hour? <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:29,400 –> 00:14:35,500
\nEvery year just by like 2% like
\ninflation happens your taxes go <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:35,500 –> 00:14:37,500
\nup.
\nHow about next year? <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:37,500 –> 00:14:40,800
\nIt’s a hundred and two
\nkilometers an hour and then it’s<\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:41,100 –> 00:14:44,100
\na hundred and four.
\nWhy doesn’t this happen? <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:44,500 –> 00:14:48,000
\nWe know why this doesn’t happen
\nbrothers and sisters because <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:48,400 –> 00:14:54,300
\nBeyond a certain point a certain
\nspeed reliably things start to <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:54,300 –> 00:14:57,400
\ngo wrong.
\nThey start to go bad and so it <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:57,400 –> 00:15:02,500
\nis in life when we go too fast
\nand mistakes go up irritability.<\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:02,600 –> 00:15:08,300
\nGoes up and all of the good
\nthings of Life productivity and <\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:08,300 –> 00:15:13,700
\nmorale energy Excellence a key
\nfor others at Joy. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:13,900 –> 00:15:17,800
\nThey all go down so many of the
\nthings that affect godliness. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:22,200
\nThis is a serious issue.
\nThe faster we rush. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:23,400 –> 00:15:26,200
\nThe further we inevitably seem
\nto fall behind. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:26,700 –> 00:15:30,200
\nWe develop all the symptoms of
\npeople who are going too fast. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:34,700
\nWe’re frustrated we withdraw
\nwe’re a pathetic we’re <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:34,700 –> 00:15:38,200
\ndepressed.
\nAnd if you feel brothers and <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:38,200 –> 00:15:41,500
\nsisters in young people like
\nyour life is stuck on fast <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:41,500 –> 00:15:46,100
\nforward then maybe we all need
\nto reclaim some margin in our <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:46,100 –> 00:15:50,200
\nlives and recover some emotional
\nenergy for God. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:51,200 –> 00:15:53,700
\nSo what is the scriptures?
\nWhat do the scriptures have to <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:53,900 –> 00:15:57,000
\ntell us about these things?
\nWell tonight. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:57,000 –> 00:15:59,600
\nI just want to look at one
\nsimple idea and it’s actually <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:59,600 –> 00:16:04,600
\nthe opposite of speed.
\nIt’s the opposite of running and<\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:04,600 –> 00:16:10,800
\nit’s God’s solution.
\nIt’s called standing still. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:11,900 –> 00:16:15,100
\nI’d like you to come back to
\nExodus in chapter 5. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:24,900 –> 00:16:29,500
\nWhat’s God’s solution to running
\nfrantically to and fro? <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:30,800 –> 00:16:35,000
\nTo a frenetic pace of Life.
\nWe’ll look let’s just start here<\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:35,000 –> 00:16:38,000
\ntonight and Exodus chapter 5 and
\nverse 10. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:39,300 –> 00:16:42,500
\nThis is our life.
\nWe’re in bondage to Fierro and <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:42,500 –> 00:16:45,900
\nthe task masters of the people
\nwent out verse 10 of Exodus 5 <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:46,100 –> 00:16:49,700
\nand their offices and they speak
\nto the people saying thus saith <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:49,700 –> 00:16:53,000
\nFierro.
\nI will not give you straw go you<\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:55,400
\nget you Straw from where you can
\nfind it yet. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:55,400 –> 00:16:57,600
\nNot Autumn of your work should
\nbe diminished. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:58,200 –> 00:17:00,400
\nSo the people were scattered
\nabroad throughout all the land <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:00,400 –> 00:17:04,700
\nof It together stubble instead
\nof straw and the taskmasters <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:05,000 –> 00:17:10,500
\nhasted them saying fulfill your
\nWorks your daily tasks as when <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:10,500 –> 00:17:15,099
\nthere was straw.
\nThis is the world pressure work <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:15,099 –> 00:17:22,200
\nHarder Faster longer.
\nWe’re in bondage to this system.<\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:23,700 –> 00:17:27,599
\nSound familiar doesn’t sound
\nanything like our lives more <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:27,599 –> 00:17:31,100
\nbricks with less straw.
\nIf it feel the sting of the <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:31,100 –> 00:17:33,300
\nEgyptian.
\nWhip on your back making bricks <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:33,300 –> 00:17:37,200
\nfor Fierro working harder and
\nfaster and longer with less. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:37,200 –> 00:17:39,900
\nAnd for Less.
\nThis is our lives. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:40,400 –> 00:17:45,700
\nWe are in bondage, but
\nthankfully God has a solution <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:45,700 –> 00:17:50,000
\nfor us and we know the story
\npretty well the Israelites are <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:50,000 –> 00:17:53,700
\nworking faster and faster and
\nfaster making bricks in God. and<\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:53,700 –> 00:17:58,400
\nhis Mercy brings the 10 plagues
\nthat decimate the land of Egypt <\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:58,400 –> 00:18:03,000
\nuntil at last fearow is broken
\nand look what it says in chapter<\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:03,000 –> 00:18:14,900
\n12 in verse 33 Finally after 10
\nplagues pharaohs spirit is <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:14,900 –> 00:18:20,300
\nbroken and exodus 12 and verse
\n33 says and the Egyptians were <\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:20,400 –> 00:18:24,900
\nurgent upon the people that they
\nmight send them out of the land <\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:24,900 –> 00:18:29,900
\nand haste for they said we are
\nall dead men. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:33,800
\nSo they’re working faster and
\nfaster. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:34,500 –> 00:18:37,200
\nThe Egyptians are Urgent to get
\nthem out of Egypt as fast as <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:37,200 –> 00:18:38,600
\nthey can.
\nIn fact they pass. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:38,700 –> 00:18:42,100
\nTake of the Passover standing up
\nso that they’re ready to flee as<\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:42,100 –> 00:18:45,400
\nsoon as they get the word.
\nThere’s not even time to Livin <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:45,400 –> 00:18:49,400
\ntheir bread and verse 39 and as
\nsoon as fira Lentz they run to <\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:49,400 –> 00:18:52,200
\nthe edge of the Red Sea
\nPharaoh’s roaring up behind them<\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:52,300 –> 00:18:55,800
\nand look what we read in Exodus
\nchapter 14 and verse 13 and <\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:55,800 –> 00:19:07,600
\nMoses said unto the people fear.
\nYe not stand still. stand still <\/p>\n

269
\n00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:12,100
\nGod has an important lesson to
\nteach his people. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:19:13,700 –> 00:19:16,500
\nBefore they are baptized in the
\nRed Sea. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:16,800 –> 00:19:22,100
\nThey are impressed with the fact
\nthat in the Journey of going <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:22,100 –> 00:19:27,700
\nfrom Egypt to the promised land
\nfrom slaves two sons. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:27,800 –> 00:19:42,600
\nWe have to slow down slow down.
\nslow down until we stand still. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:44,800 –> 00:19:49,300
\nand then we can see God’s
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:49,500 –> 00:19:52,300
\nCan you imagine that young
\npeople especially you’ve got <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:52,300 –> 00:19:55,800
\nFierro behind you with all his
\narmy a hill on the side of a <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:55,808 –> 00:19:58,800
\nhill on this side.
\nAll your instincts are screaming<\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:58,800 –> 00:20:08,100
\nat run.
\nIn God’s command is stand still.<\/p>\n

279
\n00:20:10,100 –> 00:20:17,100
\nIt’s totally counterintuitive.
\nBut you see when we stand still <\/p>\n

280
\n00:20:18,200 –> 00:20:23,700
\nwe can see something we can see
\nsomething that we could never <\/p>\n

281
\n00:20:23,700 –> 00:20:31,600
\nsee while we were running and
\nthat is God’s perspective while <\/p>\n

282
\n00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:35,500
\nwe’re running with them.
\nWe’re not standing still with <\/p>\n

283
\n00:20:35,500 –> 00:20:38,100
\nGod.
\nIt’s a matter of Relativity if <\/p>\n

284
\n00:20:38,100 –> 00:20:41,900
\nwe are moving we can’t see it
\nfor what it is and it’s only <\/p>\n

285
\n00:20:41,900 –> 00:20:48,700
\nwhen we slow down We stopped
\ncompletely and standstill that <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:48,700 –> 00:20:52,300
\nwe can see the Egyptians for
\nwhat they really are. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:53,700 –> 00:20:55,300
\nIt’s actually exactly what they
\nsaid. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:55,300 –> 00:21:00,500
\nThey were in chapter 12 and
\nverse 33 did mean that’s all <\/p>\n

289
\n00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:05,200
\nthey are did mean running
\nstraight into the middle of the <\/p>\n

290
\n00:21:05,200 –> 00:21:07,200
\nRed Sea.
\nThat’s who they are. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:21:07,700 –> 00:21:14,100
\nThat’s the world here today seem
\ntoday gone tomorrow. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:21:15,300 –> 00:21:19,600
\nThis is God’s salvation.
\nThis is the truth that we can <\/p>\n

293
\n00:21:19,600 –> 00:21:28,400
\nsee as soon as we stand still.
\nWe can see things from God’s <\/p>\n

294
\n00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:31,400
\nperspective.
\nAnd did you know that standing <\/p>\n

295
\n00:21:31,400 –> 00:21:36,900
\nstill is a theme that runs all
\nthe way through the scriptures <\/p>\n

296
\n00:21:37,800 –> 00:21:41,300
\nstanding still and seeing God’s
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:21:41,500 –> 00:21:44,700
\nHere’s just a few which we won’t
\nlook at but just to illustrate <\/p>\n

298
\n00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:48,900
\nthe point.
\nThis is a very pervasive idea. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:54,700
\nYou can look them up in your own
\ntime think of Gideon and his 300<\/p>\n

300
\n00:21:54,700 –> 00:21:57,400
\nmen.
\nWe’re told that it’s when they <\/p>\n

301
\n00:21:57,400 –> 00:22:02,300
\nstood every man in his place
\nrather rooms has when they Stood<\/p>\n

302
\n00:22:02,300 –> 00:22:07,000
\nStill that the midianites ran
\nand shuttered and fled and <\/p>\n

303
\n00:22:07,000 –> 00:22:10,400
\nattacked each other.
\nIt was when they blew their <\/p>\n

304
\n00:22:10,400 –> 00:22:16,000
\ntrumpets and Stood Still that
\nthe midianites who had enslaved <\/p>\n

305
\n00:22:16,000 –> 00:22:19,900
\nIsrael and cruel bondage ran
\ndown the valley of Jordan <\/p>\n

306
\n00:22:19,900 –> 00:22:23,700
\ntowards the Fords of Jordan to
\nperish in a watery grave in <\/p>\n

307
\n00:22:23,700 –> 00:22:26,300
\nJudges chapter 7 exactly the
\nsame. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:22:27,800 –> 00:22:31,100
\nWell, what about Jehoshaphat in
\nsecond chronicles 20 and verse <\/p>\n

309
\n00:22:31,100 –> 00:22:34,300
\n17 when he’s faced with a great
\nmultitude of the moabites and <\/p>\n

310
\n00:22:34,300 –> 00:22:40,400
\nammonites and he said stand
\nStill and see the salvation of <\/p>\n

311
\n00:22:40,400 –> 00:22:44,600
\nYahweh and the enemy killed each
\nother to the last men was dead. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:22:46,200 –> 00:22:51,700
\nWhat about his akaya being still
\nas he says in Psalm 46 verse 10 <\/p>\n

313
\n00:22:51,900 –> 00:22:55,400
\nas God destroyed sennacherib in
\nthe Australian Army in a night. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:22:55,400 –> 00:23:00,900
\nThey were all dead Corpses.
\nWhat about from our story this <\/p>\n

315
\n00:23:00,900 –> 00:23:05,200
\nweek?
\nHeyman his hasted to the Battle <\/p>\n

316
\n00:23:05,200 –> 00:23:10,900
\nof Doom and Esther stands still
\nbefore the king. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:23:11,000 –> 00:23:14,100
\nIt’s the same word and is to
\nfive verses 1 and 2. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:23:14,200 –> 00:23:17,500
\nIt’s all through the scriptures.
\nIt’s Ruth the moabite S. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:23:18,000 –> 00:23:20,800
\nIt’s shimada my team and
\ndefeating the Philistines. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:23:20,900 –> 00:23:24,600
\nIt’s the Ethiopian eunuch.
\nIt’s all about standing still <\/p>\n

321
\n00:23:24,600 –> 00:23:27,000
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nThat’s when we see God’s <\/p>\n

322
\n00:23:27,000 –> 00:23:30,700
\nsalvation.
\nWe see that God is able to save <\/p>\n

323
\n00:23:30,700 –> 00:23:33,700
\nand the Israelites were
\nimpressed with this lesson is <\/p>\n

324
\n00:23:33,700 –> 00:23:39,500
\nthey left Egypt behind as they
\nlooked back at the Red Sea empty<\/p>\n

325
\n00:23:40,400 –> 00:23:45,500
\nthe Assyrians which they saw
\nyesterday gone in the night. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:23:47,600 –> 00:23:49,200
\nThey wouldn’t even forget this
\nlesson. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:23:50,700 –> 00:23:55,400
\nIt’s when we stand still.
\nWe can see God’s salvation. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:23:58,000 –> 00:24:00,800
\nExcept the only problem is that
\nwe do actually forget. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:07,500
\nNow if you fast-forward 40
\nyears. the people of Israel the <\/p>\n

330
\n00:24:07,500 –> 00:24:10,600
\nNext Generation we’re going to
\nhave to be impressed with <\/p>\n

331
\n00:24:10,600 –> 00:24:15,600
\nexactly the same lesson before
\nthey entered the promised land <\/p>\n

332
\n00:24:15,600 –> 00:24:18,900
\ncome across to Joshua in chapter
\n3, you’d think that once would <\/p>\n

333
\n00:24:18,900 –> 00:24:23,300
\nbe enough when you buy the Red
\nSea so dramatic all of the <\/p>\n

334
\n00:24:23,300 –> 00:24:27,800
\nEgyptian Army drowned in a
\nmoment because you just stood <\/p>\n

335
\n00:24:27,800 –> 00:24:34,700
\nstill but just 40 years later.
\nEverybody has forgotten. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:24:36,100 –> 00:24:40,100
\nAnd Joshua 3.
\nThe nation is going to have to <\/p>\n

337
\n00:24:40,100 –> 00:24:41,800
\nbe impressed with the same
\nlesson. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:24:41,800 –> 00:24:46,900
\nAgain, it’s a different time a
\ndifferent group of people maybe <\/p>\n

339
\n00:24:47,000 –> 00:24:50,800
\ndifferent place.
\nBut the same lesson Joshua 3 in <\/p>\n

340
\n00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:55,900
\nverse 7 ja we said unto Joshua
\nthis day will I begin to magnify<\/p>\n

341
\n00:24:55,900 –> 00:24:59,800
\nthe in the sight of all Israel
\nthat they may know that as I was<\/p>\n

342
\n00:24:59,800 –> 00:25:03,300
\nwith Moses like I was with Moses
\non the shores of the Red Sea. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:25:03,500 –> 00:25:07,000
\nSo will I be with thee and thou
\nshall command the priest that <\/p>\n

344
\n00:25:07,000 –> 00:25:09,800
\nbear the Ark of the Covenant
\nsaying When you come to the <\/p>\n

345
\n00:25:09,800 –> 00:25:14,100
\nbrink of the water of Jordan ye
\nshell. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:25:16,000 –> 00:25:25,200
\nStand still in Jordan. in verse
\n14 says and it came to pass when<\/p>\n

347
\n00:25:25,200 –> 00:25:27,700
\nthe people were moved from their
\ntents to pass over Jordan and <\/p>\n

348
\n00:25:27,700 –> 00:25:30,100
\nthe priest bearing the Ark of
\nthe Covenant before the people <\/p>\n

349
\n00:25:30,300 –> 00:25:33,000
\nand it says they that bear the
\nark will come into Jordan and <\/p>\n

350
\n00:25:33,008 –> 00:25:35,300
\nthe feet of the priest that bear
\nthe ark were dipped in the brim <\/p>\n

351
\n00:25:35,300 –> 00:25:39,600
\nof the water for Jordan
\noverfloweth all his Banks all <\/p>\n

352
\n00:25:39,600 –> 00:25:43,200
\nthe time of harvest that the
\nwaters which came down from <\/p>\n

353
\n00:25:43,200 –> 00:25:49,500
\nabove stood and Rose up upon and
\nheat very far from the city atom<\/p>\n

354
\n00:25:49,700 –> 00:25:53,200
\nthat has both sides are attend
\nthose that I’m down toward the <\/p>\n

355
\n00:25:53,200 –> 00:25:56,600
\nSea of the plane, even the salt
\nsea failed and were cut off in <\/p>\n

356
\n00:25:56,600 –> 00:26:01,000
\nthe people passed over right
\nagainst Jericho on dry land just<\/p>\n

357
\n00:26:01,100 –> 00:26:05,600
\nlike the Red Sea.
\nBefore them stood the Jordan <\/p>\n

358
\n00:26:05,600 –> 00:26:11,500
\nRiver the descender the stream
\nof humanity that goes all the <\/p>\n

359
\n00:26:11,500 –> 00:26:19,300
\nway from the sea of life in
\nGalilee down down down to the <\/p>\n

360
\n00:26:19,300 –> 00:26:23,200
\nRed Sea to the Dead Sea.
\nI should say we’re told <\/p>\n

361
\n00:26:23,200 –> 00:26:29,300
\nspecifically in verse 15 that it
\nis not a gentle Meandering <\/p>\n

362
\n00:26:29,500 –> 00:26:33,000
\nBrooke.
\nIt is a swollen raging. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:26:33,200 –> 00:26:37,600
\nHard, it’s Swift and deadly it’s
\nfast and lethal. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:26:37,600 –> 00:26:42,100
\nIt’s a picture of humanity
\nflooded overflowing rushing <\/p>\n

365
\n00:26:42,100 –> 00:26:45,700
\nheadlong down down down towards
\ndeath. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:26:46,200 –> 00:26:50,600
\nThere’s people in that River
\ngoing 389 kilometers an hour <\/p>\n

367
\n00:26:50,700 –> 00:26:56,800
\nstraight into the deep sea And
\nthe lesson is exactly the same <\/p>\n

368
\n00:26:56,800 –> 00:27:00,800
\nas Exodus 14 in the shores of
\nthe Red Sea. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:27:00,900 –> 00:27:04,600
\nIf we want to cross that raging
\ntorrent into the promised land <\/p>\n

370
\n00:27:05,300 –> 00:27:10,900
\naround 2,000 years or 2,000
\ncubits after our Lord and verse <\/p>\n

371
\n00:27:10,900 –> 00:27:16,000
\n4 the Ark of the Covenant.
\nWe want to gain entrance to the <\/p>\n

372
\n00:27:16,000 –> 00:27:20,500
\nkingdom across this torrent of
\nhumanity rushing headlong <\/p>\n

373
\n00:27:20,500 –> 00:27:24,000
\ntowards death and Oblivion.
\nWe have to stand still. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:27:26,000 –> 00:27:30,600
\nAnd it’s then and only then that
\nwe can see the world for what it<\/p>\n

375
\n00:27:30,600 –> 00:27:36,400
\nis and see God’s salvation.
\nThe Ark of the Covenant of God’s<\/p>\n

376
\n00:27:36,400 –> 00:27:40,400
\npresence amongst his people
\nrolling water. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:27:41,600 –> 00:27:46,400
\nUphill pushing the Relentless
\ntide of humanity back all the <\/p>\n

378
\n00:27:46,400 –> 00:27:50,800
\nway to edin verse 16.
\nThis is the Salvation of God. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:27:50,800 –> 00:27:55,100
\nIt’s his blueprint for salvation
\nfor Redemption from the headlong<\/p>\n

380
\n00:27:55,100 –> 00:28:01,100
\nRush towards death his answer to
\nthis frightening – of did men <\/p>\n

381
\n00:28:01,100 –> 00:28:04,200
\nand women towards the grave is
\nto stand still. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:28:05,700 –> 00:28:13,500
\nAnd see yahushua’s salvation the
\narc our Lord Jesus Christ who <\/p>\n

383
\n00:28:13,500 –> 00:28:19,100
\ncan stem the tide reverse the
\ncurse pushback death. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:28:22,500 –> 00:28:25,500
\nI’d like you to come to Luke in
\nChapter 7. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:28:28,300 –> 00:28:38,700
\nInto a marvelous little parable.
\ninside a real life story Luke <\/p>\n

386
\n00:28:38,700 –> 00:28:43,800
\nchapter 7 and the story of the
\nWidow of names son, see how our <\/p>\n

387
\n00:28:43,800 –> 00:28:48,900
\nLord Jesus Christ understood
\nthis principle this story of <\/p>\n

388
\n00:28:49,100 –> 00:28:57,800
\nExodus 14 and Joshua chapter 3
\nLuke chapter 7 and verse 11 And <\/p>\n

389
\n00:28:57,800 –> 00:29:02,700
\nit came to pass the day after.
\nThat he went into a city called <\/p>\n

390
\n00:29:02,700 –> 00:29:06,000
\nnain.
\nAnd many of his disciples went <\/p>\n

391
\n00:29:06,000 –> 00:29:11,800
\nwith him and much people now
\nwhen he came nigh to the gate of<\/p>\n

392
\n00:29:11,800 –> 00:29:20,100
\nthe city behold, there was a
\ndead man carried out the only <\/p>\n

393
\n00:29:20,800 –> 00:29:25,700
\nson of his mother and she was a
\nwidow and much people of the <\/p>\n

394
\n00:29:25,700 –> 00:29:31,400
\ncity was with her.
\nAnd when the Lord saw her he had<\/p>\n

395

\nman I say unto thee.
\nAll rise. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:29:59,000 –> 00:30:03,400
\nAnd he that was dead set up and
\nbegan to speak and he delivered <\/p>\n

399
\n00:30:03,400 –> 00:30:09,200
\nhim to his mother and they came
\na fear on all and they glorified<\/p>\n

400
\n00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:13,800
\nGod saying that a great prophet
\nhas risen up among us and that <\/p>\n

401
\n00:30:13,800 –> 00:30:19,100
\nGod has visited his people.
\nIt’s exactly the same picture <\/p>\n

402
\n00:30:19,100 –> 00:30:23,900
\nisn’t it a huge procession of
\npeople much people of the city <\/p>\n

403
\n00:30:24,000 –> 00:30:27,700
\nand type.
\nIt’s the whole world. the tide <\/p>\n

404
\n00:30:27,700 –> 00:30:35,200
\nof humanity marching behind a
\ncoffin Just like the children of<\/p>\n

405
\n00:30:35,200 –> 00:30:42,100
\nIsrael. at the shores of the
\nJordan matching behind Joseph <\/p>\n

406
\n00:30:42,100 –> 00:30:47,400
\nKaufman But look what our Lord
\ndoes he recognizes in this <\/p>\n

407
\n00:30:47,600 –> 00:30:51,400
\nWeeping Woman this Widow a
\npicture of his own mother <\/p>\n

408
\n00:30:51,700 –> 00:30:56,400
\nmourning for the death of her
\nonly special son, and he’s moved<\/p>\n

409
\n00:30:56,500 –> 00:31:01,100
\nwith compassion and just like
\nthe Ark in Joshua chapter 3. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:31:01,300 –> 00:31:06,400
\nHe steps forward into the
\nswollen torrent of humanity <\/p>\n

411
\n00:31:06,500 –> 00:31:12,400
\nflowing inexorably towards death
\nand he hopes The procession of <\/p>\n

412
\n00:31:12,400 –> 00:31:20,800
\ndeath they that bear him Stood
\nStill they were confronted <\/p>\n

413
\n00:31:20,800 –> 00:31:25,800
\nweren’t they by The Arc that
\ncould compel Waters to flow <\/p>\n

414
\n00:31:25,900 –> 00:31:31,600
\nuphill and Life to come out of
\ndeath and yars salvation. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:38,000
\nYahushua was seen he was seen
\nwhen people Stood Still. <\/p>\n

416
\n00:31:39,900 –> 00:31:44,700
\nThe coffin was discarded.
\nThe torrent of death stopped <\/p>\n

417
\n00:31:44,900 –> 00:31:49,800
\nhere was the one who one day
\nwill roll the waters all the way<\/p>\n

418
\n00:31:49,800 –> 00:31:56,800
\nback to Adam. so when the hid
\nlong – of daily life What is the<\/p>\n

419
\n00:31:56,800 –> 00:32:01,500
\nlesson for us?
\nThe Frantic pace of Life mini <\/p>\n

420
\n00:32:01,600 –> 00:32:07,600
\nrunning to and fro when we find
\nourselves running running <\/p>\n

421
\n00:32:07,900 –> 00:32:11,700
\nrunning when life seems to be
\ngetting too fast. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:32:12,300 –> 00:32:16,800
\nWhat is the lesson what I’d like
\nyou to come back to Second of <\/p>\n

423
\n00:32:16,800 –> 00:32:39,800
\nkings and chapter 5
\nAnd speaking of Kings chapter 5 <\/p>\n

424
\n00:32:39,800 –> 00:32:42,400
\nwe have as we all know the story
\nof Naaman. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:32:43,200 –> 00:32:46,300
\nWe know it well.
\nAnd is great. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:32:47,400 –> 00:32:51,500
\nAnd there’s Mighty and his
\nhonorable a man as hey misname <\/p>\n

427
\n00:32:51,500 –> 00:32:55,500
\nand was in verse 1 he had
\nleprosy. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:32:57,000 –> 00:32:59,500
\nWhat’s he doing brothers and
\nsisters young people? <\/p>\n

429
\n00:33:00,300 –> 00:33:05,300
\nHe’s rushing headlong through
\nlife straight towards the Dead <\/p>\n

430
\n00:33:05,300 –> 00:33:10,100
\nSea and he has leprosy he’s
\nmoving faster than most a <\/p>\n

431
\n00:33:10,100 –> 00:33:14,600
\nterrible disease.
\nHe knew he had little time left <\/p>\n

432
\n00:33:15,300 –> 00:33:17,100
\nand it’s second of Kings chapter
\n5. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:33:17,500 –> 00:33:23,300
\nThere are three men and they
\ntell us a gripping into sobering<\/p>\n

434
\n00:33:23,300 –> 00:33:30,500
\nstory with a powerful lesson for
\nus. firstly it is a Lusher. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:33:31,700 –> 00:33:37,100
\nThe man of God our Lord Jesus
\nChrist in type are example and <\/p>\n

436
\n00:33:37,100 –> 00:33:44,200
\nlook how he’s described in verse
\n16 and he said as Yahweh liveth <\/p>\n

437
\n00:33:44,900 –> 00:33:54,800
\nbefore whom I stand he stands
\nstill before God. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:33:55,000 –> 00:33:59,200
\nThat’s our Lord Jesus Christ.
\nSecondly in the story. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:33:59,200 –> 00:34:05,500
\nWe have Naman rushing headlong
\ntowards a watery grave and he <\/p>\n

440
\n00:34:05,500 –> 00:34:11,100
\nhumbles himself in the Jordan
\nthe very place where the waters <\/p>\n

441
\n00:34:11,100 –> 00:34:14,300
\nwere rolled back in Joshua 3.
\nIt’s the same scene. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:34:14,300 –> 00:34:19,199
\nHe humbles himself to wash his
\nsins away and emerges clean. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:34:19,199 –> 00:34:23,800
\nHe sees the Power of the god
\nthat saves God’s salvation is <\/p>\n

444
\n00:34:23,800 –> 00:34:26,800
\nthe meaning of Elijah’s name and
\nhe goes from being a man. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:34,800
\nWho’s Shaheed long towards death
\nto a man in verse 15 standing <\/p>\n

446
\n00:34:35,199 –> 00:34:42,000
\nstill before Elijah.
\nHe stood still before Elijah. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:34:43,199 –> 00:34:48,100
\nSo Elijah standing still?
\nNaaman was running running <\/p>\n

448
\n00:34:48,100 –> 00:34:51,400
\nrunning now.
\nHe’s cured healed. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:34:53,100 –> 00:34:59,700
\nTransformed he stands still
\nbefore Elijah. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:35:01,800 –> 00:35:08,000
\nLastly in more chillingly we
\nhave gehazi and look what gehazi<\/p>\n

451
\n00:35:08,100 –> 00:35:13,300
\ndoes in verse 20, but gehazi the
\nservant of Elisha the man of God<\/p>\n

452
\n00:35:13,300 –> 00:35:18,400
\nsaid behold.
\nMy master has spared Naaman the <\/p>\n

453
\n00:35:18,400 –> 00:35:22,000
\nSyrian and not receiving it as
\nhands that which he brought but <\/p>\n

454
\n00:35:22,000 –> 00:35:29,800
\nit’s how we live with I will Oh.
\nRun after him and take some what<\/p>\n

455
\n00:35:29,800 –> 00:35:33,900
\nof him so gehazi followed after
\nnaming and when Naamans saw him <\/p>\n

456
\n00:35:34,100 –> 00:35:37,400
\nrunning after him he lighted
\ndown from The Chariot to meet <\/p>\n

457
\n00:35:37,400 –> 00:35:41,700
\nhim and said, it’s all well and
\nhe said who all is well. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:35:42,300 –> 00:35:46,500
\nMy master has sent me saying
\nbehold even now they become unto<\/p>\n

459
\n00:35:46,500 –> 00:35:49,200
\nme from Mount Ephraim two young
\nmen of the sons of the prophets.<\/p>\n

460
\n00:35:49,400 –> 00:35:52,600
\nGive them.
\nI pray thee a talent of Sylvan <\/p>\n

461
\n00:35:52,600 –> 00:35:58,700
\ninto changes of garments name
\nand said, Be content take two <\/p>\n

462
\n00:35:58,700 –> 00:36:02,500
\ntowns in the urged him and bound
\nto talents of silver and two <\/p>\n

463
\n00:36:02,500 –> 00:36:05,400
\nbags with two changes of
\ngarments and lay them upon two <\/p>\n

464
\n00:36:05,400 –> 00:36:08,500
\nof his servants and they beer
\nthem before him and when he came<\/p>\n

465
\n00:36:08,500 –> 00:36:12,300
\nto the tower took them from
\ntheir hand bestowed them in the <\/p>\n

466
\n00:36:12,300 –> 00:36:15,000
\nhouse.
\nAnd he let them in go and they <\/p>\n

467
\n00:36:15,000 –> 00:36:22,800
\ndeparted and he Winton. and
\nstood before his master and <\/p>\n

468
\n00:36:22,800 –> 00:36:28,500
\nElisha said unto him.
\nWhence comest thou gehazi? <\/p>\n

469
\n00:36:30,000 –> 00:36:33,700
\nand he said the servant went no
\nwith it. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:36:35,000 –> 00:36:40,200
\nAnd he said unto him.
\nWe not mine heart with the when <\/p>\n

471
\n00:36:40,200 –> 00:36:42,800
\nthe man turned away from his
\nChariot to meet thee. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:36:43,000 –> 00:36:47,900
\nIs it a time to receive money
\nand to receive garments Olive <\/p>\n

473
\n00:36:47,900 –> 00:36:52,800
\nyards and Vineyards sheep oxen
\nmenservants and maidservants the<\/p>\n

474
\n00:36:52,800 –> 00:36:57,200
\nleprosy therefore of name and
\nshall cleave unto thee and unto <\/p>\n

475
\n00:36:57,200 –> 00:37:02,500
\nthy seed forever and he went out
\nof his presence a leper as white<\/p>\n

476
\n00:37:03,000 –> 00:37:07,300
\nas snow.
\nIn the lesson of this story is <\/p>\n

477
\n00:37:07,300 –> 00:37:12,600
\nthe tragic end of a man.
\nWho pretended to be amongst <\/p>\n

478
\n00:37:12,600 –> 00:37:17,800
\nthose who stood still before
\nYahweh in his heart? <\/p>\n

479
\n00:37:19,500 –> 00:37:25,700
\nAs well as in real life.
\nHe wasn’t standing still he was <\/p>\n

480
\n00:37:25,700 –> 00:37:31,200
\nrunning running after the things
\nof this life money status <\/p>\n

481
\n00:37:31,400 –> 00:37:34,600
\nclothes.
\nHe ran after all the things that<\/p>\n

482
\n00:37:34,600 –> 00:37:39,600
\nNaman head when he was rushing
\nheadlong towards the grave the <\/p>\n

483
\n00:37:39,600 –> 00:37:43,900
\nthings that Naman wanted to give
\naway now because he knew they <\/p>\n

484
\n00:37:43,900 –> 00:37:49,700
\ncouldn’t save him he pretended
\nto stand still but actually he <\/p>\n

485
\n00:37:49,700 –> 00:37:53,600
\nwas running.
\nIn the literacy that Naaman <\/p>\n

486
\n00:37:53,600 –> 00:37:59,500
\nwashed off in the Jordan by
\nstanding still and seeing Yahweh<\/p>\n

487
\n00:37:59,500 –> 00:38:05,600
\nis salvation this man received.
\nIt’s like Naaman hopped out of <\/p>\n

488
\n00:38:05,600 –> 00:38:10,800
\nthe Jordan.
\nAnd gehazi hop right in. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:38:12,800 –> 00:38:16,200
\nThe Jordan is a Swift and lethal
\nRiver. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:38:17,300 –> 00:38:21,800
\nAnd the listen for us brothers
\nand sisters in young people is <\/p>\n

491
\n00:38:21,800 –> 00:38:26,200
\nthat it’s when we take the time
\nto stand still to step aside <\/p>\n

492
\n00:38:26,200 –> 00:38:30,800
\nfrom the Relentless surge of
\nhumanity that we can see God’s <\/p>\n

493
\n00:38:30,800 –> 00:38:35,200
\nperspective.
\nWhen we stand still we can see <\/p>\n

494
\n00:38:35,200 –> 00:38:40,100
\njust how fast that river flows
\nto death and we can see how <\/p>\n

495
\n00:38:40,100 –> 00:38:44,600
\npitiful the Naamans of this
\nworld are caught and it’s tied. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:38:46,100 –> 00:38:50,200
\nI’d like you to come to First of
\nPeter and chapter 4. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:38:52,300 –> 00:39:04,200
\nAnd let’s learn the lesson of
\ngehazi together. the man who ran<\/p>\n

498
\n00:39:05,000 –> 00:39:10,700
\ninstead of standing still first
\nof Peter 4 and verse 1 <\/p>\n

499
\n00:39:14,200 –> 00:39:20,200
\nForasmuch, then as Christ hath
\nsuffered for us in the flesh arm<\/p>\n

500
\n00:39:20,200 –> 00:39:25,300
\nyourselves likewise with the
\nsame mind for he that hath <\/p>\n

501
\n00:39:25,300 –> 00:39:28,800
\nsuffered In the Flesh has ceased
\nfrom sin that he should no <\/p>\n

502
\n00:39:28,800 –> 00:39:33,600
\nlonger live the rest of his life
\nIn the Flesh to the lusts of men<\/p>\n

503
\n00:39:33,900 –> 00:39:39,100
\nbut to the will of God for the
\ntime past of our life may <\/p>\n

504
\n00:39:39,100 –> 00:39:41,600
\nsuffice us to have wrote the
\nwill of the Gentiles. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:39:42,000 –> 00:39:47,600
\nWhen we walked in a seriousness
\nlasts excess of wine revellings <\/p>\n

506
\n00:39:47,900 –> 00:39:51,800
\nbang quitting’s abominable
\nidolatries. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:39:52,200 –> 00:39:58,900
\nWe’re in they think it’s strange
\nthat you run not with them to <\/p>\n

508
\n00:39:58,900 –> 00:40:04,100
\nthe same excess of Riot speaking
\nevil of you who shall give <\/p>\n

509
\n00:40:04,100 –> 00:40:08,700
\naccount to him that is really to
\njudge the quick and the dead. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:40:09,000 –> 00:40:15,000
\nDo you know that word?
\nExcess in verse 4 is the Greek <\/p>\n

511
\n00:40:15,000 –> 00:40:20,300
\nword and a couscous.
\nIt means overflowing flood <\/p>\n

512
\n00:40:20,600 –> 00:40:25,600
\nrather rooms translates it an
\noverflow of riotous excess. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:40:26,100 –> 00:40:29,500
\nThe new King James has a flood
\nof dissipation. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:40:29,600 –> 00:40:33,400
\nWe live in a world that is
\nflooded overflowing its banks <\/p>\n

515
\n00:40:33,500 –> 00:40:38,600
\nobsessed with speed.
\nWe all know it’s going too fast <\/p>\n

516
\n00:40:38,700 –> 00:40:42,100
\nmini are running to and fro that
\nPeter says in verse 4. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:40:43,300 –> 00:40:48,200
\nIt’s a question of whether we
\nare running with them. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:40:49,600 –> 00:40:52,300
\nAre we?
\nAre we? <\/p>\n

519
\n00:40:53,700 –> 00:40:58,500
\nHow fast are you running?
\nAnd we swept up in this frantic <\/p>\n

520
\n00:40:58,500 –> 00:41:02,200
\nrace to the finish line of the
\nDead Sea guilty of being <\/p>\n

521
\n00:41:02,200 –> 00:41:05,600
\noverwhelmed by the pace of Life
\nguilty of being like gehazi <\/p>\n

522
\n00:41:05,600 –> 00:41:09,400
\nrunning with them instead of
\nhopping out of hopping in the <\/p>\n

523
\n00:41:09,400 –> 00:41:12,000
\nJordan brothers and sisters is
\nFlowing faster than ever. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:41:12,500 –> 00:41:19,100
\nIn fact, it’s 10% quicker now,
\nthen it was just 13 years ago. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:41:20,600 –> 00:41:26,700
\nAnd it’s affecting us, isn’t it?
\nIt’s the danger of being Swept <\/p>\n

526
\n00:41:26,700 –> 00:41:33,400
\nAway.
\nOut of a life of godliness in <\/p>\n

527
\n00:41:33,400 –> 00:41:35,800
\nthe truth.
\nWe seem to have less and less <\/p>\n

528
\n00:41:35,800 –> 00:41:40,000
\ntime for God for our readings
\nfor hospitality. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:41:41,100 –> 00:41:45,000
\nWe feel burnt out.
\nWe feel exhausted. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:41:45,400 –> 00:41:47,300
\nYou probably have had this
\nexperience when you come to <\/p>\n

531
\n00:41:47,300 –> 00:41:51,500
\nBible school and you say ah,
\nlong time no, see how are you <\/p>\n

532
\n00:41:52,800 –> 00:42:00,200
\nexhausted?
\nBusy, it’s been me to write this<\/p>\n

533
\n00:42:00,200 –> 00:42:03,700
\nis what we say.
\nIt’s like we need a break we’re <\/p>\n

534
\n00:42:03,700 –> 00:42:06,900
\nperpetually running and when we
\nget a break we get a night off. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:42:06,900 –> 00:42:09,600
\nWe don’t even really know what
\nto do with ourselves and <\/p>\n

536
\n00:42:09,600 –> 00:42:15,000
\nsuddenly we find we almost don’t
\nknow how to slow down. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:42:16,400 –> 00:42:22,700
\nWe don’t know how to stand still
\nspeed can be a way of Walling <\/p>\n

538
\n00:42:22,700 –> 00:42:26,100
\nourselves off from the deeper
\nthings of life. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:42:26,500 –> 00:42:30,700
\nWe fill our heads and our lives
\nwith distractions busyness <\/p>\n

540
\n00:42:31,000 –> 00:42:34,200
\nimportant stuff so that we are
\nso busy. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:42:34,200 –> 00:42:39,500
\nWe never have to ask How is my
\nspiritual health? <\/p>\n

542
\n00:42:42,100 –> 00:42:48,300
\nHow is my godliness?
\nHow is my Hospitality we can <\/p>\n

543
\n00:42:48,300 –> 00:42:52,300
\nalways allow ourselves to run so
\nfast that we never have time to <\/p>\n

544
\n00:42:52,300 –> 00:42:57,600
\nask the question of verse 1 do I
\nhave the mind of Christ that has<\/p>\n

545
\n00:42:57,600 –> 00:43:00,900
\nceased from sin ceased from
\nrunning. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:43:02,500 –> 00:43:05,800
\nThis is the danger of the
\nfrenetic pace of the age in <\/p>\n

547
\n00:43:05,800 –> 00:43:07,700
\nwhich we live.
\nSo what is the answer? <\/p>\n

548
\n00:43:08,400 –> 00:43:13,700
\nWhat can we do what must we do
\nwhat I’d like you to come and <\/p>\n

549
\n00:43:13,700 –> 00:43:27,600
\nconclusion to say 23 these are
\nthe words. of a man Who was an <\/p>\n

550
\n00:43:27,600 –> 00:43:38,300
\nabsolute master of being still?
\na master of finding time for God<\/p>\n

551
\n00:43:39,900 –> 00:43:46,300
\nPsalm 23 in verse 1 Yahweh is my
\nshepherd. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:43:47,500 –> 00:43:53,600
\nI shall not want.
\nHe maketh me to lie down in <\/p>\n

553
\n00:43:53,600 –> 00:43:59,500
\nGreen Pastures.
\nHe leadeth me beside the Still <\/p>\n

554
\n00:44:00,300 –> 00:44:05,900
\nWaters in Imagine The Waters of
\nquietness. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:44:06,800 –> 00:44:10,200
\nHe restoreth my soul.
\nHe leadeth me in the paths of <\/p>\n

556
\n00:44:10,200 –> 00:44:13,700
\nrighteousness for his name’s
\nsake. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:44:15,100 –> 00:44:18,600
\nSo there are there other Swift
\nWaters of Jordan dangerous and <\/p>\n

558
\n00:44:18,600 –> 00:44:25,000
\nlethal seeking to claim our
\nsouls in its impatient currents.<\/p>\n

559
\n00:44:26,800 –> 00:44:33,900
\nLinda rather Still Waters the
\nWaters of quietness the wood is <\/p>\n

560
\n00:44:33,900 –> 00:44:37,700
\nthat can restore our soul.
\nWe need to have moments of <\/p>\n

561
\n00:44:37,700 –> 00:44:44,300
\nstanding still with God moments
\nof deceleration moments of peace<\/p>\n

562
\n00:44:44,300 –> 00:44:47,100
\nand quiet.
\nI want you to ask yourself this <\/p>\n

563
\n00:44:47,100 –> 00:44:50,900
\nquestion.
\nWhen was the last time? <\/p>\n

564
\n00:44:52,100 –> 00:45:05,000
\nthat you took just 10 minutes.
\nto do nothing just to think of <\/p>\n

565
\n00:45:05,000 –> 00:45:12,400
\nGod’s salvation. his kingdom
\njust teen minutes. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:45:14,000 –> 00:45:18,800
\nJust 10 minutes of Stillness.
\nWhen was the last time it’s <\/p>\n

567
\n00:45:18,800 –> 00:45:21,400
\nextraordinary isn’t it?
\nHave terrible? <\/p>\n

568
\n00:45:21,400 –> 00:45:28,000
\nWe are at doing this restoring a
\nsoul by The Still Waters. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:45:30,400 –> 00:45:34,400
\nSo here’s my suggestion.
\nIt’s a little practical idea. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:45:34,500 –> 00:45:40,100
\nSo that each day we can have
\nmoments of standing still time <\/p>\n

571
\n00:45:40,100 –> 00:45:43,500
\nto restore our souls.
\nWe all know that we need to do <\/p>\n

572
\n00:45:43,500 –> 00:45:45,800
\nit.
\nBut how do we make it happen? <\/p>\n

573
\n00:45:46,500 –> 00:45:49,800
\nIt’s got to be something that’s
\nsimple and something that’s <\/p>\n

574
\n00:45:49,800 –> 00:45:52,600
\nachievable.
\nIf I say unto you you need to do<\/p>\n

575
\n00:45:52,600 –> 00:45:59,200
\none hour of meditation everyday
\nchances are none of you will do <\/p>\n

576
\n00:45:59,200 –> 00:46:03,300
\nit and neither will I It’s got
\nto be something that we can make<\/p>\n

577
\n00:46:03,300 –> 00:46:06,000
\nhappen.
\nLet’s think about what we’ve <\/p>\n

578
\n00:46:06,000 –> 00:46:09,900
\nsaid so far.
\nWe’ve described the Jordan River<\/p>\n

579
\n00:46:10,000 –> 00:46:14,700
\nis a picture of the world
\noverflowing Swift the torrent of<\/p>\n

580
\n00:46:14,700 –> 00:46:18,400
\nhumanity rushing headlong
\ntowards Oblivion in the Dead Sea<\/p>\n

581
\n00:46:19,200 –> 00:46:22,900
\nand in our days.
\nThe time of the end it’s rushing<\/p>\n

582
\n00:46:22,900 –> 00:46:26,100
\nfaster and faster.
\nIt wants to suck Us in and it’s <\/p>\n

583
\n00:46:26,100 –> 00:46:30,400
\nonly when we stand still we step
\naside. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:46:31,800 –> 00:46:35,900
\nFrom the Relentless tide of
\nhumanity that we can see God’s <\/p>\n

585
\n00:46:35,900 –> 00:46:40,700
\nperspective.
\nBut God’s perspective on what? <\/p>\n

586
\n00:46:41,900 –> 00:46:45,400
\nAnd the answer is that when we
\nstand still. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:46:46,500 –> 00:46:49,500
\nWe see God’s perspective on
\ntime. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:46:51,100 –> 00:46:54,200
\nBecause if the Jordan is
\noverflowing with people rushing <\/p>\n

589
\n00:46:54,700 –> 00:46:59,100
\nrunning disparate to cram
\neverything they can in 270 short<\/p>\n

590
\n00:46:59,100 –> 00:47:02,300
\nyears before they end up in the
\nDead Sea then what other Still <\/p>\n

591
\n00:47:02,300 –> 00:47:06,100
\nWaters.
\nExcept they be people who? <\/p>\n

592
\n00:47:08,300 –> 00:47:09,800
\nThey don’t have to rush
\nanywhere. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:47:11,200 –> 00:47:17,100
\nThat detached from time there on
\nGod’s time. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:47:18,300 –> 00:47:21,200
\nThey know.
\nThat in God’s plan. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:47:22,500 –> 00:47:27,100
\nThey’re going to live forever.
\nSee verse 6 surely goodness and <\/p>\n

596
\n00:47:27,100 –> 00:47:32,900
\nmercy shall follow me all the
\ndays of my life and I will dwell<\/p>\n

597
\n00:47:32,900 –> 00:47:39,500
\nin the house of Yahweh forever.
\nSee the difference everyone in <\/p>\n

598
\n00:47:39,500 –> 00:47:42,500
\nthe Jordan River is cramming
\neverything they can and 270 <\/p>\n

599
\n00:47:42,500 –> 00:47:46,900
\nshort years, but the people By
\nthe Waters of quietness Their <\/p>\n

600
\n00:47:46,900 –> 00:47:52,600
\nperspective on time is forever.
\nThere’s no need to rush is <\/p>\n

601
\n00:47:52,600 –> 00:47:56,400
\nplenty plenty of time.
\nWe don’t need to run brothers <\/p>\n

602
\n00:47:56,400 –> 00:47:59,200
\nand sisters.
\nWe have eternity. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:47:59,200 –> 00:48:02,500
\nIn fact, the kingdom only comes
\nto those who have looked to stop<\/p>\n

604
\n00:48:02,500 –> 00:48:06,600
\nrunning into standstill to see
\nthe world through God’s eyes to <\/p>\n

605
\n00:48:06,600 –> 00:48:11,900
\nsee just how fast each pitiful
\nLife races towards death when <\/p>\n

606
\n00:48:11,900 –> 00:48:18,700
\ncontrasted with whoever the
\ndifference between the torrent <\/p>\n

607
\n00:48:18,700 –> 00:48:23,400
\nof Jordan In the Still Waters is
\nGod’s perspective on time. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:48:24,700 –> 00:48:30,200
\nSo here’s my idea.
\nWhen life is too fast? <\/p>\n

609
\n00:48:31,800 –> 00:48:34,100
\nHow do we learn the secret of
\nstanding still? <\/p>\n

610
\n00:48:36,000 –> 00:48:44,400
\nWhy don’t you choose a clock?
\njust one clock or a watch <\/p>\n

611
\n00:48:45,900 –> 00:48:50,800
\nSomewhere at home or somewhere
\nat work, but something that you <\/p>\n

612
\n00:48:50,800 –> 00:48:55,400
\nregularly use a clock that you
\nalways look at and I want you to<\/p>\n

613
\n00:48:55,400 –> 00:49:01,000
\nsit it 10 minutes fast.
\nThis is now. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:49:02,600 –> 00:49:06,900
\nGod’s time it’s 10 minutes ahead
\nof schedule. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:49:07,600 –> 00:49:09,800
\nNow it might make you do to one
\nof two things. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:49:09,900 –> 00:49:14,900
\nYou might end up being early and
\nless rushed which would be good.<\/p>\n

617
\n00:49:16,400 –> 00:49:21,200
\nOr you might look at the time
\nand think oh, that’s right. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:49:22,100 –> 00:49:28,100
\nI have 10 minutes and you have
\nsome time to recalculate to ask <\/p>\n

619
\n00:49:28,100 –> 00:49:32,500
\nyourself in that little
\n10-minute window how fast am I <\/p>\n

620
\n00:49:32,600 –> 00:49:35,200
\nrunning today?
\nHow fast is the Jordan River <\/p>\n

621
\n00:49:35,300 –> 00:49:38,400
\nflowing in my life today?
\nAm I on God’s time? <\/p>\n

622
\n00:49:39,600 –> 00:49:44,400
\nOr the world’s time.
\nAnd if we need time to <\/p>\n

623
\n00:49:44,400 –> 00:49:48,400
\nrecalibrate for God to take a
\nfew minutes to stand still. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:49:49,600 –> 00:49:53,400
\nWe can.
\nIt’s God’s 10 minutes. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:49:54,000 –> 00:49:56,900
\nIt’s his time.
\nWe won’t even be late. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:49:57,700 –> 00:50:01,300
\nWe can give it to him.
\nWe can create moments of <\/p>\n

627
\n00:50:01,300 –> 00:50:06,800
\nStillness moments in each day
\nwhere we have the luxury of <\/p>\n

628
\n00:50:06,800 –> 00:50:12,600
\nstanding still By the Waters of
\nquietness relating ourselves to <\/p>\n

629
\n00:50:12,600 –> 00:50:17,700
\nEternal things to be people who
\nhave time for God people who <\/p>\n

630
\n00:50:17,700 –> 00:50:21,400
\nhave learnt.
\nThe busy frantic age in which we<\/p>\n

631
\n00:50:21,400 –> 00:50:26,800
\nlive at the time of the end to
\nstand still it’s an art that we <\/p>\n

632
\n00:50:26,800 –> 00:50:29,500
\nmust practice.
\nThis is God’s solution. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:50:31,100 –> 00:50:35,000
\nSo when we feel like the
\ntaskmasters a flogging us and <\/p>\n

634
\n00:50:35,000 –> 00:50:38,400
\nwe’re working harder and faster
\nand longer making bricks for <\/p>\n

635
\n00:50:38,400 –> 00:50:43,000
\nfearow.
\nLet’s Take 10 minutes to stand <\/p>\n

636
\n00:50:43,000 –> 00:50:47,000
\nstill.
\nWhen the Roaring swollen torrent<\/p>\n

637
\n00:50:47,000 –> 00:50:49,700
\nof the Jordan River stands
\nbetween us and the promised <\/p>\n

638
\n00:50:49,700 –> 00:50:51,600
\nland.
\nLet’s remember that our Lord has<\/p>\n

639
\n00:50:51,600 –> 00:50:57,300
\ngone before 2000 years ago in
\nall he asks us to do is to stand<\/p>\n

640
\n00:50:58,000 –> 00:51:02,600
\nstill.
\nThe way will be made open. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:51:03,900 –> 00:51:07,600
\nWhen we feel like we’re Swept
\nAway into the world’s inevitable<\/p>\n

642
\n00:51:07,600 –> 00:51:09,800
\nPrecision of death.
\nLet’s remember that our Lord <\/p>\n

643
\n00:51:09,800 –> 00:51:14,600
\nJesus Christ has bidden our
\ncoffins to stand still. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:51:16,500 –> 00:51:19,100
\nHe’s an amazing thought brothers
\nand sisters in young people. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:51:19,100 –> 00:51:24,500
\nDo you know what standing still
\nis it is an absolute privilege. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:51:26,300 –> 00:51:32,900
\nIt’s a privilege to stand still.
\nIt’s a privilege that only we <\/p>\n

647
\n00:51:33,600 –> 00:51:37,400
\nhave.
\nThe world is running to and fro <\/p>\n

648
\n00:51:38,300 –> 00:51:43,700
\nfrantic activity.
\nThe Angels we’re told in <\/p>\n

649
\n00:51:43,700 –> 00:51:50,200
\nZechariah 4 in verse 10 also run
\nto and fro frantic activity. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:51:51,500 –> 00:51:56,500
\nAmongst all of this.
\nWe are bidding pleaded with <\/p>\n

651
\n00:51:57,300 –> 00:52:03,800
\nbeaked by our heavenly father to
\njust stand still and see his <\/p>\n

652
\n00:52:03,800 –> 00:52:07,500
\nsalvation.
\nIt’s respond in our lives. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:52:07,500 –> 00:52:10,900
\nLet’s reclaim some time some
\nmargin for God that when our <\/p>\n

654
\n00:52:10,900 –> 00:52:15,300
\nLord comes we aren’t hopping
\ninto Jordan, but we’re hopping <\/p>\n

655
\n00:52:15,300 –> 00:52:22,500
\nout we are restoring our souls
\nby Still Waters and looking <\/p>\n

656
\n00:52:22,500 –> 00:52:27,100
\nforward above all things to
\ndwelling in the house of our <\/p>\n

657
