00:00:54,400<br \/>\nFor this week.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re listening to an <\/p>\n<p>10<br \/>\n00:00:54,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:56,500<br \/>\nextrication.<br \/>\nThat was another recommendation <\/p>\n<p>11<br \/>\n00:00:56,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:00,200<br \/>\ngiven to us an excitation.<br \/>\nThat was given by Shane Smith at<\/p>\n<p>12<br \/>\n00:01:00,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:02,700<br \/>\nthe Mount Waverley occlusion,<br \/>\nMelbourne, Australia. <\/p>\n<p>13<br \/>\n00:01:03,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:06,200<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not sure exactly what year<br \/>\nthis excitation was given but it<\/p>\n<p>14<br \/>\n00:01:06,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:09,000<br \/>\nwas a recommendation.<br \/>\nWe got a few months back and <\/p>\n<p>15<br \/>\n00:01:09,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:11,100<br \/>\nfinally was able to listen to it<br \/>\nand really enjoyed it. <\/p>\n<p>16<br \/>\n00:01:11,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:14,900<br \/>\nThe topic of this excitation is<br \/>\ntackling doubt brother Shane <\/p>\n<p>17<br \/>\n00:01:14,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:17,600<br \/>\ndoes a really good job of<br \/>\nbreaking down what doubt can do <\/p>\n<p>18<br \/>\n00:01:17,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:21,000<br \/>\nto us taking a look at that, you<br \/>\nknow once doubt is allowed to <\/p>\n<p>19<br \/>\n00:01:21,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:25,500<br \/>\nenter into your mind you Or to<br \/>\nfeel doubt doubt is seated in a <\/p>\n<p>20<br \/>\n00:01:25,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:28,800<br \/>\nfear fear of not knowing or not<br \/>\ndoing the right thing or not <\/p>\n<p>21<br \/>\n00:01:28,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:30,000<br \/>\nknowing what you&#8217;re supposed to<br \/>\ndo. <\/p>\n<p>22<br \/>\n00:01:31,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:35,200<br \/>\nAnd once you have that fear, our<br \/>\nown human instinct is in to take<\/p>\n<p>23<br \/>\n00:01:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:39,200<br \/>\nsteps to preserve ourselves kind<br \/>\nof self-preservation kicks in <\/p>\n<p>24<br \/>\n00:01:39,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:44,000<br \/>\nand once that kicks in then you<br \/>\nstart looking for ways to kind <\/p>\n<p>25<br \/>\n00:01:44,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:50,100<br \/>\nof prevent or solve your doubt<br \/>\nyourself and he looks at several<\/p>\n<p>26<br \/>\n00:01:50,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:53,500<br \/>\nbiblical examples starting right<br \/>\nfrom the in the garden talking <\/p>\n<p>27<br \/>\n00:01:53,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:57,000<br \/>\nabout how that you know, the<br \/>\nserpent introduced doubt into <\/p>\n<p>28<br \/>\n00:01:57,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:00,700<br \/>\nEve&#8217;s mind about whether whether<br \/>\nor not what God had told Adam <\/p>\n<p>29<br \/>\n00:02:00,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:04,800<br \/>\nand Eve was true.<br \/>\nAnd once she saw that doubt then<\/p>\n<p>30<br \/>\n00:02:04,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:08,500<br \/>\nshe started to act on it and it<br \/>\ncaused the the downfall and then<\/p>\n<p>31<br \/>\n00:02:08,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:11,900<br \/>\nlooks at multiple other Biblical<br \/>\ncharacters how that just a <\/p>\n<p>32<br \/>\n00:02:11,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:15,800<br \/>\nlittle entering of Doubt has<br \/>\nsignificant impact on them and <\/p>\n<p>33<br \/>\n00:02:15,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:19,400<br \/>\nkind of steers the course of<br \/>\ntheir life brother Shan with his<\/p>\n<p>34<br \/>\n00:02:20,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:24,000<br \/>\nwith his exhortation is focusing<br \/>\non What that doubt can do to us,<\/p>\n<p>35<br \/>\n00:02:24,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:28,200<br \/>\nyou know, whether it&#8217;s being<br \/>\nuncertain about where you stand <\/p>\n<p>36<br \/>\n00:02:28,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:31,800<br \/>\nwith with friends or in a Social<br \/>\nCircle or being uncertain about <\/p>\n<p>37<br \/>\n00:02:31,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:35,100<br \/>\nwork or doubting whether or not<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re able to do what you need <\/p>\n<p>38<br \/>\n00:02:35,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:36,900<br \/>\nto do.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s something that we all <\/p>\n<p>39<br \/>\n00:02:36,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:40,300<br \/>\nstruggle with at various points.<br \/>\nSometimes it&#8217;s that little <\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\n00:02:40,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:42,500<br \/>\nnagging feeling in the back of<br \/>\nyour mind that you can&#8217;t quite <\/p>\n<p>41<br \/>\n00:02:42,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:46,500<br \/>\nput your finger on why you feel<br \/>\nuncertain but it&#8217;s there and <\/p>\n<p>42<br \/>\n00:02:47,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:51,900<br \/>\nit&#8217;s a it&#8217;s a human failing we<br \/>\nall suffer with it and Shane. <\/p>\n<p>43<br \/>\n00:02:52,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:56,500<br \/>\nOther chains excitation when<br \/>\nhe&#8217;s going through this points <\/p>\n<p>44<br \/>\n00:02:56,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:00,700<br \/>\nout that rather than letting<br \/>\nthat doubt control us and steer <\/p>\n<p>45<br \/>\n00:03:00,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:04,000<br \/>\nus that instead when we feeling<br \/>\nthat doubt and then you feel <\/p>\n<p>46<br \/>\n00:03:04,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:06,500<br \/>\nthat fear of not knowing how<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re going to deal with the <\/p>\n<p>47<br \/>\n00:03:06,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:08,700<br \/>\ndoubt.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s that you&#8217;re feeling is <\/p>\n<p>48<br \/>\n00:03:08,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:14,800<br \/>\ninstead to kind of take a lesson<br \/>\nfrom Paul and instead throw our <\/p>\n<p>49<br \/>\n00:03:14,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:19,700<br \/>\ndoubts before God and feel the<br \/>\nconfidence that we know that God<\/p>\n<p>50<br \/>\n00:03:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:21,900<br \/>\nis working in our lives that he<br \/>\nhas a larger plan going. <\/p>\n<p>51<br \/>\n00:03:22,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:26,300<br \/>\nOn for us for each of us<br \/>\nindividually and for the world <\/p>\n<p>52<br \/>\n00:03:26,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:31,900<br \/>\nas a whole and that if we can<br \/>\ntrust in God even when something<\/p>\n<p>53<br \/>\n00:03:31,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:34,800<br \/>\nseems uncertain but knowing that<br \/>\nit&#8217;s going to work out in a way <\/p>\n<p>54<br \/>\n00:03:34,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:40,100<br \/>\nthat makes sense in a way that<br \/>\nworks for his good and will as <\/p>\n<p>55<br \/>\n00:03:40,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:43,100<br \/>\nlong as we&#8217;re striving to follow<br \/>\nafter him will lead to us being <\/p>\n<p>56<br \/>\n00:03:43,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:45,800<br \/>\nin the Kingdom.<br \/>\nThen it allows us to banish <\/p>\n<p>57<br \/>\n00:03:45,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:49,300<br \/>\nthose doubts and as Paul was<br \/>\ndoing to be able to speak boldly<\/p>\n<p>58<br \/>\n00:03:49,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:55,100<br \/>\nand clearly and confidently.<br \/>\nGod and trusting in Him beyond <\/p>\n<p>59<br \/>\n00:03:55,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:00,700<br \/>\nwhat any human person would say<br \/>\nhas we have any right to do so, <\/p>\n<p>60<br \/>\n00:04:00,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:02,700<br \/>\nthis was a really awesome<br \/>\nexcitation. <\/p>\n<p>61<br \/>\n00:04:03,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:05,500<br \/>\nLike I said, when I it was<br \/>\nrecommended a few months back <\/p>\n<p>62<br \/>\n00:04:05,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:06,900<br \/>\nand we got around to listening<br \/>\nto it. <\/p>\n<p>63<br \/>\n00:04:07,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:10,100<br \/>\nIt was a really good one.<br \/>\nSo I&#8217;m excited to share this one<\/p>\n<p>64<br \/>\n00:04:10,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:12,800<br \/>\nwith you.<br \/>\nAnd as this one should be <\/p>\n<p>65<br \/>\n00:04:12,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:15,800<br \/>\ngetting published a little bit<br \/>\nafter the first of the year. <\/p>\n<p>66<br \/>\n00:04:16,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:19,800<br \/>\nSo we wanted to have this one is<br \/>\nsomething especially with kind <\/p>\n<p>67<br \/>\n00:04:19,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:24,100<br \/>\nof the popular thing with It&#8217;s<br \/>\nthe start of a new year is to do<\/p>\n<p>68<br \/>\n00:04:24,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:28,000<br \/>\nNew Year&#8217;s resolutions to try to<br \/>\nrefocus yourself for the coming <\/p>\n<p>69<br \/>\n00:04:28,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:29,500<br \/>\nyears.<br \/>\nAnd I know sometimes when I&#8217;ve <\/p>\n<p>70<br \/>\n00:04:29,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:33,100<br \/>\nlooked back at the years passed<br \/>\nit kind of can lead to doubt and<\/p>\n<p>71<br \/>\n00:04:33,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:35,400<br \/>\nquestioning where you were<br \/>\ncoming from and where you&#8217;re <\/p>\n<p>72<br \/>\n00:04:35,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:37,500<br \/>\ngoing and so I this was I<br \/>\nthought was a really good one to<\/p>\n<p>73<br \/>\n00:04:37,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:41,700<br \/>\nsort of focus on in the coming<br \/>\nyear driving and focusing that <\/p>\n<p>74<br \/>\n00:04:41,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:46,600<br \/>\nthe hope and the faith that we<br \/>\nhave in God will overpower any <\/p>\n<p>75<br \/>\n00:04:46,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:49,300<br \/>\nfear doubt that we might have so<br \/>\nwith that. <\/p>\n<p>76<br \/>\n00:04:49,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:51,800<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll turn it over to brother<br \/>\nShane Smith for his exhortation.<\/p>\n<p>77<br \/>\n00:04:52,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:56,300<br \/>\nin tackling doubt Well, it was<br \/>\nthere in the beginning. <\/p>\n<p>78<br \/>\n00:04:58,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:03,000<br \/>\nBut it was lightened.<br \/>\nAnd it was there nevertheless. <\/p>\n<p>79<br \/>\n00:05:05,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:09,800<br \/>\nAnd it only took one question to<br \/>\nbring it to the surface in Eve&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>80<br \/>\n00:05:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:12,700<br \/>\nmind.<br \/>\nIf you cast your mind back to <\/p>\n<p>81<br \/>\n00:05:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:18,200<br \/>\nthe serpent in in back in Eden,<br \/>\nthe serpent had asked Eve hath. <\/p>\n<p>82<br \/>\n00:05:18,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:22,600<br \/>\nGod said ye shall not eat of<br \/>\nevery tree of the garden to <\/p>\n<p>83<br \/>\n00:05:22,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:26,500<br \/>\nachieve had responded.<br \/>\nWe may eat of the Trees of the <\/p>\n<p>84<br \/>\n00:05:26,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:30,200<br \/>\ngarden, but of the fruit of the<br \/>\ntree, which is in the midst of <\/p>\n<p>85<br \/>\n00:05:30,207 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:34,200<br \/>\nthe garden God has said You<br \/>\nshall not eat of it. <\/p>\n<p>86<br \/>\n00:05:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:35,900<br \/>\nNeither.<br \/>\nShall ye? <\/p>\n<p>87<br \/>\n00:05:35,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:42,600<br \/>\nTouch it lest you die.<br \/>\nAnd then the serpent made a <\/p>\n<p>88<br \/>\n00:05:42,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:47,100<br \/>\nstatement to challenged.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s thinking he said you will <\/p>\n<p>89<br \/>\n00:05:47,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:51,500<br \/>\nnot surely die.<br \/>\nAnd he introduced the line of <\/p>\n<p>90<br \/>\n00:05:51,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:55,900<br \/>\nreasoning that had two things it<br \/>\nappealed to her senses to be <\/p>\n<p>91<br \/>\n00:05:55,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:01,700<br \/>\ngratified.<br \/>\nAnd created doubt about what God<\/p>\n<p>92<br \/>\n00:06:01,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:06,300<br \/>\nhad said.<br \/>\nAnd the more she gave her mind <\/p>\n<p>93<br \/>\n00:06:06,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:10,100<br \/>\nto the erroneous thinking of the<br \/>\nserpent the less the truth of <\/p>\n<p>94<br \/>\n00:06:10,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:16,900<br \/>\nwhat God Said had any impact.<br \/>\nAnd doubt became disbelief. <\/p>\n<p>95<br \/>\n00:06:18,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:24,500<br \/>\nAnd disbelief became rejection.<br \/>\nAnd she reached out and she took<\/p>\n<p>96<br \/>\n00:06:24,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:30,000<br \/>\nof that fruit.<br \/>\nBut for Adam there was no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>97<br \/>\n00:06:30,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:34,500<br \/>\nHe simply hearken unto the voice<br \/>\nof his wife and rejected the <\/p>\n<p>98<br \/>\n00:06:34,508 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:39,400<br \/>\ncommand of his God.<br \/>\nAnd since creation nearly every <\/p>\n<p>99<br \/>\n00:06:39,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:44,100<br \/>\nhuman identity will wrestle with<br \/>\ndoubt of one form of an era or <\/p>\n<p>100<br \/>\n00:06:44,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:48,900<br \/>\nanother insecurity about one<br \/>\nthing and grasping of another <\/p>\n<p>101<br \/>\n00:06:48,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:50,700<br \/>\nthing.<br \/>\nThey D more credible. <\/p>\n<p>102<br \/>\n00:06:52,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:55,800<br \/>\nPrimarily because we allow the<br \/>\nseed of a diverse form of <\/p>\n<p>103<br \/>\n00:06:55,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:03,500<br \/>\nthinking to be planted in our<br \/>\nmind. and The Offspring of doubt<\/p>\n<p>104<br \/>\n00:07:04,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:12,000<br \/>\nis fear and When We Fear the<br \/>\nnext step is self-preservation. <\/p>\n<p>105<br \/>\n00:07:13,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:16,500<br \/>\nAnd suddenly we found ourselves<br \/>\nmaking immediate decisions to <\/p>\n<p>106<br \/>\n00:07:16,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:18,900<br \/>\nremedy the problem to allay our<br \/>\nfear. <\/p>\n<p>107<br \/>\n00:07:20,600 &#8211;&gt;

00:07:34,900<br \/>\nself-preservation.<br \/>\nThe problem is in most cases <\/p>\n<p>110<br \/>\n00:07:34,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:41,200<br \/>\nthose immediate decisions lack<br \/>\nwisdom. that truth and then that<\/p>\n<p>111<br \/>\n00:07:41,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:44,700<br \/>\nGod Like Us.<br \/>\nLet me come to the meaning of <\/p>\n<p>112<br \/>\n00:07:44,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:48,000<br \/>\nthe word Doubtfire expresses the<br \/>\nmeaning of the word doubt this <\/p>\n<p>113<br \/>\n00:07:48,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:53,700<br \/>\nway to be at variance with<br \/>\noneself to hesitate. <\/p>\n<p>114<br \/>\n00:07:55,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:00,000<br \/>\nStrong&#8217;s puts it this way to<br \/>\nseparate thoroughly to withdraw <\/p>\n<p>115<br \/>\n00:08:00,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:03,500<br \/>\nfrom or by implication to<br \/>\noppose. <\/p>\n<p>116<br \/>\n00:08:05,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:10,900<br \/>\nAnd he adds to be partial to<br \/>\nstagger or to waiver. <\/p>\n<p>117<br \/>\n00:08:13,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:17,700<br \/>\nSo then come over to Genesis<br \/>\nchapter 15 and let&#8217;s see how the<\/p>\n<p>118<br \/>\n00:08:17,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:21,500<br \/>\nmeanings of these takes us<br \/>\neffect in the life of Abraham <\/p>\n<p>119<br \/>\n00:08:21,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:26,300<br \/>\nand Sarah.<br \/>\nIn Genesis chapter 15 and verse <\/p>\n<p>120<br \/>\n00:08:26,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:29,800<br \/>\n4 Abraham is in discussion with<br \/>\nGod about the seed. <\/p>\n<p>121<br \/>\n00:08:29,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:37,000<br \/>\nHe promised and God stated in<br \/>\nverse 4 that Eliezer shall not <\/p>\n<p>122<br \/>\n00:08:37,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:40,600<br \/>\nbe thine Heir but the seed would<br \/>\ncome of his own bowels and we <\/p>\n<p>123<br \/>\n00:08:40,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:45,500<br \/>\nread in verse 6 and Abraham<br \/>\nbelieved in Yahweh and he <\/p>\n<p>124<br \/>\n00:08:45,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:47,500<br \/>\ncounted it to him for<br \/>\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n<p>125<br \/>\n00:08:48,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:50,800<br \/>\nIn other words.<br \/>\nThere was no doubt in Abraham&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>126<br \/>\n00:08:50,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:54,600<br \/>\nmind.<br \/>\nBut God will give him a seed. <\/p>\n<p>127<br \/>\n00:08:56,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:01,200<br \/>\nBut when Ibraham in part of this<br \/>\ninformation to Sarah when no <\/p>\n<p>128<br \/>\n00:09:01,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:07,300<br \/>\nseed came she doubted.<br \/>\nAnd more than that she <\/p>\n<p>129<br \/>\n00:09:07,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:12,800<br \/>\ndisbelieved.<br \/>\nAnd finally, she blamed God for <\/p>\n<p>130<br \/>\n00:09:12,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:16,200<br \/>\nher plight.<br \/>\nIf you have a look at chapter 16<\/p>\n<p>131<br \/>\n00:09:16,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:18,900<br \/>\nverse 1 and 2.<br \/>\nNecessary. <\/p>\n<p>132<br \/>\n00:09:18,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:22,200<br \/>\nI Abraham&#8217;s wife bear him.<br \/>\nNo children, and she didn&#8217;t hand<\/p>\n<p>133<br \/>\n00:09:22,200 &#8211;&gt;

00:09:47,200<br \/>\nself-preservation led to the<br \/>\nsolving of a problem her way <\/p>\n<p>138<br \/>\n00:09:47,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:51,800<br \/>\ngoing on to Hagar my maid you<br \/>\nsee the problem was when it came<\/p>\n<p>139<br \/>\n00:09:51,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:56,800<br \/>\nto Sir II it was all about her.<br \/>\nShe said go in and says that I <\/p>\n<p>140<br \/>\n00:09:56,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:06,600<br \/>\nmay be builded. by her the<br \/>\nproblem lies with the self and <\/p>\n<p>141<br \/>\n00:10:06,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:11,900<br \/>\nwhen you come chapter 18 and<br \/>\nverse 9 when Sarah was no longer<\/p>\n<p>142<br \/>\n00:10:11,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:15,700<br \/>\nable to conceive then the angel<br \/>\ncame confirming the promise. <\/p>\n<p>143<br \/>\n00:10:18,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:23,300<br \/>\nchapter 18 and verse 9 and they<br \/>\nsaid unto him. <\/p>\n<p>144<br \/>\n00:10:23,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:26,200<br \/>\nWhere is Sarah?<br \/>\nThy wife cheese in the in the <\/p>\n<p>145<br \/>\n00:10:26,200 &#8211;&gt;

00:10:37,300<br \/>\nAnd she heard in the tent door<br \/>\nand verse 12. <\/p>\n<p>148<br \/>\n00:10:37,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:40,300<br \/>\nShe laughed.<br \/>\nShe laughed with herself saying <\/p>\n<p>149<br \/>\n00:10:41,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:45,200<br \/>\nafter I am waxed old shall I<br \/>\nhave pleasure my Lord being old <\/p>\n<p>150<br \/>\n00:10:45,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:49,500<br \/>\nalso.<br \/>\nShe doubted she disbelieved. <\/p>\n<p>151<br \/>\n00:10:50,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:55,200<br \/>\nShe feared.<br \/>\nAnd she said I laugh not she <\/p>\n<p>152<br \/>\n00:10:55,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:58,800<br \/>\npreserved herself.<br \/>\nBut in essence the angel came <\/p>\n<p>153<br \/>\n00:10:58,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:02,500<br \/>\nalong to Sarah and held a mirror<br \/>\nup to her face that impelled her<\/p>\n<p>154<br \/>\n00:11:02,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:05,200<br \/>\nto take a reflective.<br \/>\nLook at her character and her <\/p>\n<p>155<br \/>\n00:11:05,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:08,100<br \/>\nprevailing attitude for the past<br \/>\n20 years. <\/p>\n<p>156<br \/>\n00:11:09,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:11,000<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s when you come over chapter<br \/>\n21. <\/p>\n<p>157<br \/>\n00:11:14,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:20,600<br \/>\nWe read from verse 1 and 2.<br \/>\nAnd Yahweh visited Sarah as he <\/p>\n<p>158<br \/>\n00:11:20,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:25,500<br \/>\nhad said and the Lord said unto<br \/>\nSarah will did under Siri as he <\/p>\n<p>159<br \/>\n00:11:25,500 &#8211;&gt;

00:11:37,800<br \/>\nSo what was the inhibition could<br \/>\nnot God have given her <\/p>\n<p>162<br \/>\n00:11:37,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:42,600<br \/>\nconception 20 years earlier.<br \/>\nBut of course he could but <\/p>\n<p>163<br \/>\n00:11:42,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:45,600<br \/>\nSarah&#8217;s doubt and disbelief was<br \/>\nher own problem. <\/p>\n<p>164<br \/>\n00:11:46,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:48,600<br \/>\nAnd for all those years she<br \/>\nthought it was too hard for God <\/p>\n<p>165<br \/>\n00:11:48,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:52,000<br \/>\nto do the impossible.<br \/>\nIt was just too hard for him. <\/p>\n<p>166<br \/>\n00:11:54,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:58,900<br \/>\nBut God will not interfere with<br \/>\nhuman will. to accomplish his <\/p>\n<p>167<br \/>\n00:11:58,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:04,000<br \/>\npurpose What brought about the<br \/>\nMind change? <\/p>\n<p>168<br \/>\n00:12:06,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:10,600<br \/>\nThen finally remove all down.<br \/>\nWell Hebrews tells us that was <\/p>\n<p>169<br \/>\n00:12:10,600 &#8211;&gt;

00:15:26,300<br \/>\nI think dancing called all my<br \/>\ntime all this time. <\/p>\n<p>214<br \/>\n00:15:28,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:33,800<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve only made matters worse.<br \/>\nAnd during all that time you <\/p>\n<p>215<br \/>\n00:15:33,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:38,500<br \/>\nwere patient with me.<br \/>\nAnd you just demonstrated to me <\/p>\n<p>216<br \/>\n00:15:38,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:40,400<br \/>\nthe trust that I should head<br \/>\nalso. <\/p>\n<p>217<br \/>\n00:15:43,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:47,000<br \/>\nNever was there a stronger Bond<br \/>\nmade that when husband and wife <\/p>\n<p>218<br \/>\n00:15:47,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:54,400<br \/>\nhave Unity on Divine principles.<br \/>\nBut isn&#8217;t that true, sometimes <\/p>\n<p>219<br \/>\n00:15:54,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:57,000<br \/>\nthat there are some spiritual<br \/>\nprinciples that are distinctly <\/p>\n<p>220<br \/>\n00:15:57,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:02,400<br \/>\nclear to us.<br \/>\nThat others might doubt or they <\/p>\n<p>221<br \/>\n00:16:02,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:08,100<br \/>\nreject it, or they just can&#8217;t<br \/>\nsee it. and it&#8217;s so easy to for <\/p>\n<p>222<br \/>\n00:16:08,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:11,000<br \/>\nus to become impatient with our<br \/>\nbrothers and sisters and think <\/p>\n<p>223<br \/>\n00:16:11,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:16,500<br \/>\nhow look they just so hopeless<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re a lost cause but that&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>224<br \/>\n00:16:16,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:18,900<br \/>\nnot the way that God deals with<br \/>\nus and it&#8217;s not the way that <\/p>\n<p>225<br \/>\n00:16:18,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:23,800<br \/>\nAbraham dealt with his wife.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the long-suffering <\/p>\n<p>226<br \/>\n00:16:23,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:26,300<br \/>\ncharacter of God whom we<br \/>\nworship. <\/p>\n<p>227<br \/>\n00:16:28,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:32,700<br \/>\nAnd he&#8217;s a father who pities his<br \/>\nchildren that don&#8217;t understand <\/p>\n<p>228<br \/>\n00:16:33,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:37,500<br \/>\nwho love him.<br \/>\nBut I blinded by their own Folly<\/p>\n<p>229<br \/>\n00:16:37,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:42,700<br \/>\nand God will work with each of<br \/>\nus to reduce a character like <\/p>\n<p>230<br \/>\n00:16:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:46,600<br \/>\nunder his own if we only let go<br \/>\nour doubt. <\/p>\n<p>231<br \/>\n00:16:48,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:54,100<br \/>\nAnd Trust in our father.<br \/>\nWell, there&#8217;s God&#8217;s observed <\/p>\n<p>232<br \/>\n00:16:54,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:57,400<br \/>\nSierras change of heart.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s see the way that he dealt <\/p>\n<p>233<br \/>\n00:16:57,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:00,100<br \/>\nwith Gideon over in gems in<br \/>\nJudges chapter 7. <\/p>\n<p>234<br \/>\n00:17:04,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:09,099<br \/>\nJin Judges chapter 7 The<br \/>\neyedropper claims to Gideon that<\/p>\n<p>235<br \/>\n00:17:09,099 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:14,500<br \/>\nhe&#8217;s a mighty man of Valor.<br \/>\nAnd you wouldn&#8217;t think so if you<\/p>\n<p>236<br \/>\n00:17:14,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:21,700<br \/>\nask Gideon.<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;re told in Genesis. <\/p>\n<p>237<br \/>\n00:17:21,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:26,300<br \/>\nSo Judges chapter 7.<br \/>\nAnd verse 7 that God says to <\/p>\n<p>238<br \/>\n00:17:26,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:30,100<br \/>\nGideon and Yahweh said to get<br \/>\nhim by the 300 men that lap <\/p>\n<p>239<br \/>\n00:17:30,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:33,500<br \/>\nwhile I save you and deliver you<br \/>\ndeliver the midianites into <\/p>\n<p>240<br \/>\n00:17:33,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:42,900<br \/>\nthine hand.<br \/>\nYou come over to chapter 3 verse<\/p>\n<p>241<br \/>\n00:17:43,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:47,600<br \/>\n8.<br \/>\nSo the people took the rituals <\/p>\n<p>242<br \/>\n00:17:47,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:50,600<br \/>\nin the hand and their trumpets<br \/>\nand he said the rest of Israel <\/p>\n<p>243<br \/>\n00:17:50,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:53,500<br \/>\nevery man to his tent and retain<br \/>\nthe 300 men. <\/p>\n<p>244<br \/>\n00:17:54,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:56,600<br \/>\nI&#8217;m the host of Midian was<br \/>\nbeneath him in the valley. <\/p>\n<p>245<br \/>\n00:17:58,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:02,600<br \/>\nAnd it came to pass the same<br \/>\nnight that the Yahweh said unto <\/p>\n<p>246<br \/>\n00:18:02,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:06,400<br \/>\nhim arise get thee down to the<br \/>\nhose for I&#8217;ve delivered into <\/p>\n<p>247<br \/>\n00:18:06,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:12,600<br \/>\nthine hand. but if thou fear Go<br \/>\ndown with fuhrer. <\/p>\n<p>248<br \/>\n00:18:12,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:18,300<br \/>\nThy servant to The Host.<br \/>\nSo on one hand, we have Gideon <\/p>\n<p>249<br \/>\n00:18:18,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:20,200<br \/>\nwhose neck hold a mighty man of<br \/>\nValor. <\/p>\n<p>250<br \/>\n00:18:20,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:23,400<br \/>\nHe sees himself small in his own<br \/>\nsite. <\/p>\n<p>251<br \/>\n00:18:24,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:27,400<br \/>\nHis number of men who wish to go<br \/>\nto war with the midianites is <\/p>\n<p>252<br \/>\n00:18:27,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:32,100<br \/>\nreduced to 300 and he&#8217;s going to<br \/>\ngo against a mighty host that <\/p>\n<p>253<br \/>\n00:18:32,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:35,200<br \/>\nhas the sand of the sea for<br \/>\nmultitude and I think my memory <\/p>\n<p>254<br \/>\n00:18:35,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:37,700<br \/>\nserves me correct was about a<br \/>\nhundred and thirty-five thousand<\/p>\n<p>255<br \/>\n00:18:37,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:39,700<br \/>\nabout twice the population of<br \/>\nancestor. <\/p>\n<p>256<br \/>\n00:18:43,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:47,000<br \/>\nAnd he stands on a hillside.<br \/>\nHe looks at $135,000 looks and <\/p>\n<p>257<br \/>\n00:18:47,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:55,000<br \/>\nhe&#8217;s only he&#8217;s just 300.<br \/>\nAnd God raised him like a book. <\/p>\n<p>258<br \/>\n00:18:57,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:06,500<br \/>\nand he said if you fear surely<br \/>\nwe can appreciate Gideon&#8217;s angst<\/p>\n<p>259<br \/>\n00:19:06,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:09,600<br \/>\nin the such the face of such<br \/>\nodds. <\/p>\n<p>260<br \/>\n00:19:12,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:15,900<br \/>\nBut how does God deal with<br \/>\nGideon&#8217;s doubt? <\/p>\n<p>261<br \/>\n00:19:18,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:22,800<br \/>\nThe first of all there is no<br \/>\nreprimand for his angst. <\/p>\n<p>262<br \/>\n00:19:24,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:27,200<br \/>\nOffer for the circumstances<br \/>\nprevailing upon him. <\/p>\n<p>263<br \/>\n00:19:27,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:32,600<br \/>\nSo there&#8217;s no reprimand.<br \/>\nSecondly, God doesn&#8217;t take away <\/p>\n<p>264<br \/>\n00:19:32,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:37,000<br \/>\nGideon&#8217;s fear and replace it<br \/>\nwith lye and courage. <\/p>\n<p>265<br \/>\n00:19:39,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:44,500<br \/>\nAnd thirdly God doesn&#8217;t even<br \/>\nchange the circumstances with <\/p>\n<p>266<br \/>\n00:19:44,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:52,600<br \/>\nthe incredible odds.<br \/>\nBut rather God encourages Gideon<\/p>\n<p>267<br \/>\n00:19:52,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:58,500<br \/>\nto action.<br \/>\nTo demonstrate his faith in the <\/p>\n<p>268<br \/>\n00:19:58,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:04,600<br \/>\nface of doubt.<br \/>\nSo in verse 13 and verse 14 <\/p>\n<p>269<br \/>\n00:20:05,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:13,100<br \/>\nGideon goes down to the host.<br \/>\nTwo men go right up to the brink<\/p>\n<p>270<br \/>\n00:20:13,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:16,400<br \/>\nof a hundred and thirty-five<br \/>\nthousand men. <\/p>\n<p>271<br \/>\n00:20:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:21,500<br \/>\nAnd here&#8217;s the conversation<br \/>\nabout a prophecy about Gideon <\/p>\n<p>272<br \/>\n00:20:21,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:27,400<br \/>\nSupremacy in battle.<br \/>\nAnd it was so verse 15 when <\/p>\n<p>273<br \/>\n00:20:27,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:30,100<br \/>\nGideon heard the telling of the<br \/>\ndream and the interpretation are<\/p>\n<p>274<br \/>\n00:20:30,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:33,400<br \/>\noff that he worshipped and<br \/>\nreturned to the host of Israel <\/p>\n<p>275<br \/>\n00:20:33,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:37,300<br \/>\nand said arise for Yahweh hath<br \/>\ndelivered into your hand the <\/p>\n<p>276<br \/>\n00:20:37,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:42,700<br \/>\nhost of Midian.<br \/>\nThere we just did an overall <\/p>\n<p>277<br \/>\n00:20:42,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:46,200<br \/>\nsummary of Gideon in the story<br \/>\nof Gideon which we&#8217;ve known from<\/p>\n<p>278<br \/>\n00:20:46,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:48,600<br \/>\nSunday school for years.<br \/>\nBut if we were to put that <\/p>\n<p>279<br \/>\n00:20:48,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:55,700<br \/>\ncollectively all together.<br \/>\nThere are six simple steps for <\/p>\n<p>280<br \/>\n00:20:55,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:03,700<br \/>\nus over coming down.<br \/>\nPoint number one Trust in what <\/p>\n<p>281<br \/>\n00:21:03,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:11,300<br \/>\nGod has promised in verse 9<br \/>\nGideon was told that God would <\/p>\n<p>282<br \/>\n00:21:11,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:15,800<br \/>\ndeliver it into his hand<br \/>\nfundamental Vital Information. <\/p>\n<p>283<br \/>\n00:21:15,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:18,700<br \/>\nGod said, I will do it.<br \/>\nSo Point number one in trust <\/p>\n<p>284<br \/>\n00:21:18,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:24,000<br \/>\nwhat God has promised.<br \/>\nPoint number two, where in doubt<\/p>\n<p>285<br \/>\n00:21:25,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:31,800<br \/>\nseek support God said to Gideon<br \/>\ngo with fuhrer thy servant <\/p>\n<p>286<br \/>\n00:21:31,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:33,800<br \/>\nhearts and now there&#8217;s two of<br \/>\nthem on this agenda. <\/p>\n<p>287<br \/>\n00:21:35,800 &#8211;&gt;

00:22:29,000<br \/>\nnone other than the sword of<br \/>\nGideon except don&#8217;t keep <\/p>\n<p>298<br \/>\n00:22:29,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:37,300<br \/>\nfighting like Sarah accept what<br \/>\nGod has said. number 5 <\/p>\n<p>299<br \/>\n00:22:38,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:46,400<br \/>\nunderstand it is God&#8217;s battle,<br \/>\nwhich he is asked for your <\/p>\n<p>300<br \/>\n00:22:46,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:51,200<br \/>\ninput.<br \/>\nIn chapter 6 and verse 14 God <\/p>\n<p>301<br \/>\n00:22:51,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:53,900<br \/>\nhad gone to Gideon said this is<br \/>\nthe battle to take place. <\/p>\n<p>302<br \/>\n00:22:53,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:57,200<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s my battle.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m appointing you to lead them.<\/p>\n<p>303<br \/>\n00:22:57,700 &#8211;&gt;

00:28:42,000<br \/>\nAnd he finally is able to do<br \/>\nthis and it says we find that <\/p>\n<p>380<br \/>\n00:28:42,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:45,500<br \/>\nthey walked on the water to go<br \/>\nto Jesus. <\/p>\n<p>381<br \/>\n00:28:48,100 &#8211;&gt;
