Psalm forty six. 00:10.444 --> 00:11.144 [SPEAKER_00]: Verse one and two. 00:13.145 --> 00:14.466 [SPEAKER_00]: Psalm forty six, verse one and two. 00:14.606 --> 00:17.067 [SPEAKER_00]: Once you find

--> 00:50.425 [SPEAKER_00]: Though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, God bless and honouring His Word, and you may be seen. 00:52.285 --> 00:53.106 [SPEAKER_00]: Disaster. 00:55.466 --> 00:58.307 [SPEAKER_00]: There are lots of disasters in this world today. 00:59.808 --> 01:01.669 [SPEAKER_00]: We've all had disasters of different sorts. 01:03.629 --> 01:06.751 [SPEAKER_00]: There are disasters like fires and floods. 01:08.211 --> 01:28.619 [SPEAKER_00]: Hurricanes and earthquakes, avalanches and blizzards, freezing rain, heat wave, landslides, tsunamis, which I didn't know till there's a few days ago starts with a tea, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, lightning strikes, oil spills, 01:29.688 --> 01:31.108 [SPEAKER_00]: They're not all natural disasters. 01:31.128 --> 01:32.009 [SPEAKER_00]: There's other kinds too. 01:33.569 --> 01:35.630 [SPEAKER_00]: There's terrorism. 01:37.310 --> 01:38.090 [SPEAKER_00]: There's attacks. 01:38.390 --> 01:39.211 [SPEAKER_00]: Another source too. 01:40.311 --> 01:41.551 [SPEAKER_00]: There's power outages. 01:41.591 --> 01:42.552 [SPEAKER_00]: There's kidnapping. 01:42.952 --> 01:43.832 [SPEAKER_00]: There's murders. 01:44.492 --> 01:45.493 [SPEAKER_00]: There's bank robberies. 01:45.533 --> 01:46.333 [SPEAKER_00]: There's economy. 01:46.393 --> 01:46.893 [SPEAKER_00]: Depression. 01:48.974 --> 01:52.214 [SPEAKER_00]: There's shocking health turmoil and loss. 01:53.275 --> 01:54.475 [SPEAKER_00]: And there's so much more. 01:55.395 --> 01:56.196 [SPEAKER_00]: There's this problem. 01:56.216 --> 01:57.256 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a happen in life in dinner. 01:58.497 --> 02:02.120 [SPEAKER_00]: We recently seen what happened in Texas with the horrible floods. 02:02.140 --> 02:07.345 [SPEAKER_00]: There's California so many things haven't fired because of stupidity with government. 02:08.886 --> 02:12.189 [SPEAKER_00]: We've seen things happen with the East Coast last fall. 02:12.349 --> 02:16.392 [SPEAKER_00]: And we actually was in the late August in the September into the fall. 02:17.053 --> 02:22.438 [SPEAKER_00]: We've seen things recently in Russia with earthquakes and other earthquakes around the world too. 02:23.714 --> 02:26.855 [SPEAKER_00]: And there's so many other sad situations that we could discuss. 02:26.875 --> 02:32.358 [SPEAKER_00]: We're not gonna do all of that, but there's so many disasters that happen even in just everyday life. 02:33.278 --> 02:37.140 [SPEAKER_00]: And the title of today's sermon is disaster area. 02:38.041 --> 02:42.383 [SPEAKER_00]: Now usually what I would hear it is disaster area when I was a child, I'd usually my mother talked about my room. 02:43.783 --> 02:49.886 [SPEAKER_00]: And even now, but that being said, that being said, that is not over talking about today. 02:50.966 --> 02:51.847 [SPEAKER_00]: A disaster area. 02:53.422 --> 02:55.383 [SPEAKER_00]: There's always a disaster area in our life. 02:56.724 --> 02:58.165 [SPEAKER_00]: It could be what you see on the news. 02:59.106 --> 03:03.449 [SPEAKER_00]: It could be what you think of emotionally, even mentally and spiritually. 03:03.489 --> 03:06.331 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about all these things. 03:06.391 --> 03:07.892 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's take a look at the word disaster. 03:08.653 --> 03:11.335 [SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm going to quote Webster here, Webster's dictionary. 03:13.188 --> 03:26.175 [SPEAKER_00]: A disaster is an event that causes serious harm to people, buildings, economies, or the environment, and the affected community that cannot handle it alone. 03:27.615 --> 03:29.677 [SPEAKER_00]: This is what they talk about when they talk about disaster. 03:29.717 --> 03:32.178 [SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to talk about different types of disasters today. 03:32.358 --> 03:38.661 [SPEAKER_00]: And every single one of us has had a disaster in life, has had will have, we see disaster happening to everyone. 03:38.961 --> 03:39.542 [SPEAKER_00]: The first one, 03:41.157 --> 03:42.057 [SPEAKER_00]: excuse me, I'm so sorry. 03:42.077 --> 03:42.857 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't let's wrong me today. 03:43.638 --> 03:49.219 [SPEAKER_00]: The first one we're going to talk about is a there are natural disasters. 03:49.779 --> 03:51.079 [SPEAKER_00]: Now we know about natural disasters. 03:51.099 --> 03:51.919 [SPEAKER_00]: We see them all the time. 03:52.299 --> 03:54.620 [SPEAKER_00]: But let's talk about natural disasters in the Bible. 03:55.080 --> 03:56.260 [SPEAKER_00]: The Bible has a lot of them. 03:56.280 --> 03:58.821 [SPEAKER_00]: Now some of these natural disasters were caused by the Lord God. 03:59.601 --> 04:01.021 [SPEAKER_00]: He always allows them to happen. 04:01.821 --> 04:04.422 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to think for one second that when a hurricane happens. 04:04.822 --> 04:09.423 [SPEAKER_00]: You guys like, I want to get you because I have people say it every time. 04:10.540 --> 04:13.481 [SPEAKER_00]: when there was a flood and the children died at the Christian camp. 04:14.221 --> 04:15.822 [SPEAKER_00]: He was like, why did God get those kids? 04:15.862 --> 04:17.182 [SPEAKER_00]: What did they do to cause that? 04:18.063 --> 04:19.903 [SPEAKER_00]: That's not always what happens, okay? 04:20.824 --> 04:22.024 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not always that. 04:22.364 --> 04:27.866 [SPEAKER_00]: We do talk about floods and all those things in the last days that does it mean that those children is something bad. 04:27.906 --> 04:29.067 [SPEAKER_00]: Those kids are having right now. 04:29.087 --> 04:30.087 [SPEAKER_00]: You need to remember that. 04:30.603 --> 04:32.765 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, those kids are no longer in pain. 04:32.805 --> 04:34.727 [SPEAKER_00]: We need to pray for the families that lost those children. 04:35.247 --> 04:41.492 [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't want you to think that those kids at one of those kids said a naughty word and now they're they're they died for that. 04:41.792 --> 04:48.178 [SPEAKER_00]: When someone has a heart attack, all right, now you should be wearing a tie of a recent past brother and Christ. 04:48.658 --> 04:49.899 [SPEAKER_00]: I have people say he's in hell. 04:49.999 --> 04:50.499 [SPEAKER_00]: They're wrong. 04:50.539 --> 04:51.359 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't know the Bible. 04:51.759 --> 04:55.181 [SPEAKER_00]: He's in heaven, not because of him, but because of the Savior that saved him. 04:55.501 --> 05:00.723 [SPEAKER_00]: The point is this, there are people who always point out people's faults, and they think that you deserve to go to hell. 05:00.963 --> 05:01.384 [SPEAKER_00]: Guess what? 05:01.444 --> 05:01.904 [SPEAKER_00]: They're right. 05:03.505 --> 05:03.925 [SPEAKER_00]: They're right. 05:04.245 --> 05:04.545 [SPEAKER_00]: You do. 05:05.345 --> 05:08.967 [SPEAKER_00]: So do I. But because of Jesus Christ, you won't. 05:09.947 --> 05:12.689 [SPEAKER_00]: If you've asked Jesus in your heart, you've asked him to save you. 05:13.469 --> 05:14.209 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, not that bad. 05:14.229 --> 05:15.270 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you are. 05:15.310 --> 05:15.630 [SPEAKER_00]: You are. 05:16.514 --> 05:16.694 [SPEAKER_00]: What? 05:16.734 --> 05:17.875 [SPEAKER_00]: Pastor, you're really hitting hard. 05:17.936 --> 05:18.997 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm down the truth. 05:19.477 --> 05:20.338 [SPEAKER_00]: You do deserve a good help. 05:21.279 --> 05:27.846 [SPEAKER_00]: So do I. But you won't, if you actually used to say, now, does that mean that if hurricane happens, does it cause they deserve it? 05:28.166 --> 05:28.766 [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no. 05:29.147 --> 05:30.448 [SPEAKER_00]: It's because things happen. 05:30.628 --> 05:31.129 [SPEAKER_00]: Things happen. 05:31.149 --> 05:32.630 [SPEAKER_00]: So let's look at natural disasters in the Bible. 05:33.471 --> 05:34.933 [SPEAKER_00]: First of all, let's talk about floods in the Bible. 05:35.333 --> 05:37.255 [SPEAKER_00]: The first one that comes to mind is Noah. 05:37.776 --> 05:38.837 [SPEAKER_00]: The first flood. 05:39.829 --> 06:04.049 [SPEAKER_00]: Genesis chapter seven, it rained for forty days and what about the forty days same thing same thing forty days so it didn't just rain for forty days it says it springs boom busted up from under the ground can you imagine that boom and you know what I said it said that the the underground springs because it said that the the waters kept prevailing for a hundred and fifty days 06:04.729 --> 06:10.250 [SPEAKER_00]: That means the springs underneath kept all coming, kept all coming, kept about hundred fifty days, hundred fifty days. 06:10.970 --> 06:18.272 [SPEAKER_00]: And then, and then, get this now, they kept on going on those wars for another hundred fifty days. 06:19.432 --> 06:25.753 [SPEAKER_00]: And it took another seventy four days until the mountains were visible so that that little dove could find mountain. 06:26.533 --> 06:33.495 [SPEAKER_00]: That means for over, at least about three hundred seventy days, Noah was on that arc. 06:34.308 --> 06:35.009 [SPEAKER_00]: him and his family. 06:35.609 --> 06:42.114 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, you think that going for a week or two on a boat, you guys get to go on a little cruise. 06:42.434 --> 06:43.295 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's a long time. 06:43.375 --> 06:45.336 [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not a long time. 06:45.757 --> 06:47.998 [SPEAKER_00]: You two will ask you on the trip folk. 06:48.459 --> 06:49.619 [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no. 06:49.860 --> 06:52.382 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine over three hundred and seventy days. 06:53.353 --> 06:54.915 [SPEAKER_00]: No wonder he got drunk and got naked. 06:55.015 --> 07:02.206 [SPEAKER_00]: No, the fact is, they were a little crazy, but can you imagine being stuck in a boat with stinky animals? 07:02.266 --> 07:04.189 [SPEAKER_00]: No, we're not talking about kids in their socks. 07:04.209 --> 07:05.831 [SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about real animals. 07:06.312 --> 07:07.133 [SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine 07:07.915 --> 07:11.696 [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, no fans, if you're young, scary, and you're going through puberty, your soft will stink. 07:11.756 --> 07:14.597 [SPEAKER_00]: It just happened boys, I'm sorry, I don't know why, but God made it that way. 07:15.197 --> 07:16.737 [SPEAKER_00]: We deserve it, you know, I don't know why. 07:17.077 --> 07:18.698 [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, but think about that. 07:18.798 --> 07:22.718 [SPEAKER_00]: Other things happen, other types of natural disasters, famines happen. 07:23.059 --> 07:27.340 [SPEAKER_00]: Famines, no rain, no food, you know, that happened, famines. 07:27.580 --> 07:32.941 [SPEAKER_00]: The Bible describes famines as a consequence for both natural circumstances and divine judgment. 07:32.981 --> 07:34.001 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about something a little bit. 07:34.281 --> 07:37.322 [SPEAKER_00]: For example, the family, Egypt, during Joseph's time, 07:38.542 --> 07:42.543 [SPEAKER_00]: And because of that, well, the Lord chose him for that. 07:43.024 --> 07:45.644 [SPEAKER_00]: And because of that, they ended up moving to Egypt. 07:45.784 --> 07:51.306 [SPEAKER_00]: And then what happened, well, in the book Exodus, we see plagues, plagues what happened. 07:51.726 --> 07:53.587 [SPEAKER_00]: Not just in Exodus, they've happened throughout the Bible. 07:53.907 --> 07:56.568 [SPEAKER_00]: But we see plagues happen, at least ten plagues in Egypt. 07:57.348 --> 07:59.749 [SPEAKER_00]: Through those plagues, there are at least some natural things to happen. 08:00.049 --> 08:01.149 [SPEAKER_00]: But they were super natural, too. 08:01.169 --> 08:03.210 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about some supernatural here in a little bit. 08:03.730 --> 08:06.851 [SPEAKER_00]: But with that, we saw that there was a blood river. 08:07.846 --> 08:08.447 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's something. 08:08.667 --> 08:11.129 [SPEAKER_00]: But we also saw Halo on fire. 08:11.149 --> 08:12.650 [SPEAKER_00]: Halo fire. 08:13.211 --> 08:13.971 [SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine that? 08:14.592 --> 08:17.434 [SPEAKER_00]: And also darkness, the sky became all dark. 08:17.454 --> 08:18.215 [SPEAKER_00]: There's another thing. 08:18.255 --> 08:19.796 [SPEAKER_00]: Two bugs everywhere. 08:20.237 --> 08:21.518 [SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, all those things happened. 08:21.538 --> 08:23.820 [SPEAKER_00]: Then there was also in the Bible. 08:24.300 --> 08:26.042 [SPEAKER_00]: There was earthquakes or mentioned. 08:28.005 --> 08:32.869 [SPEAKER_00]: for natural reasons and also as divine judgment, the book of revelation, and we'll talk about that here in just a little while. 08:32.949 --> 08:37.673 [SPEAKER_00]: Then there's also destructive weather and patterns and more and more. 08:38.013 --> 08:42.417 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about all that, but let's look and see what it says in Luke, twenty one versus eleven. 08:43.758 --> 08:50.263 [SPEAKER_00]: It says in Luke, twenty one versus eleven, it says, Great earthquakes will occur. 08:52.065 --> 08:55.067 [SPEAKER_00]: Great earthquakes will occur in various places. 08:55.648 --> 08:57.089 [SPEAKER_00]: And there will be famines 08:58.330 --> 09:05.198 [SPEAKER_00]: and pestilence, and there will be tears and great signs from heaven. 09:07.501 --> 09:14.630 [SPEAKER_00]: And then there's Mark, the book of Mark chapter thirteen verse seven through nine. 09:15.311 --> 09:15.911 [SPEAKER_00]: And what does it say? 09:15.931 --> 09:16.572 [SPEAKER_00]: What did Jesus say? 09:17.607 --> 09:19.348 [SPEAKER_00]: And Mark chapter thirteen seven through nine. 09:19.488 --> 09:20.389 [SPEAKER_00]: He said a lot of things here. 09:20.429 --> 09:22.791 [SPEAKER_00]: I would I would read all this, but I don't we don't have time. 09:23.291 --> 09:26.633 [SPEAKER_00]: So it says Mark chapter thirteen seven through nine. 09:27.254 --> 09:33.999 [SPEAKER_00]: When you hear of wars and rumors of wars do not be trouble for such things must happen. 09:34.599 --> 09:35.600 [SPEAKER_00]: What happened must happen. 09:36.538 --> 09:38.900 [SPEAKER_00]: must happen, but the end is still to come. 09:39.500 --> 09:47.087 [SPEAKER_00]: For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes and various places, and there will be famines and troubles. 09:47.907 --> 09:50.630 [SPEAKER_00]: These are the beginning of sorrows. 09:51.010 --> 09:57.735 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll take heed, or they will hand you over to councils, and in the synagogues, you will be beaten. 09:58.656 --> 10:04.261 [SPEAKER_00]: You will be brought before rulers and kings for my sake as a testimony to them. 10:04.980 --> 10:06.961 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that sounds like something that I want to take heed to. 10:07.241 --> 10:07.961 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's the truth. 10:08.502 --> 10:09.182 [SPEAKER_00]: You don't need to worry. 10:09.802 --> 10:11.383 [SPEAKER_00]: Bath things will happen, but good things will come too. 10:12.904 --> 10:13.764 [SPEAKER_00]: Good things will come too. 10:14.464 --> 10:19.467 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, the other type of disaster is super natural disasters. 10:20.347 --> 10:27.751 [SPEAKER_00]: We just mentioned a couple when we're almost all the natural things, super natural disasters from God in the Bible. 10:28.431 --> 10:32.153 [SPEAKER_00]: Some which we just mentioned and some were super natural from God used in the nature. 10:32.193 --> 10:32.913 [SPEAKER_00]: We just mentioned this. 10:33.642 --> 10:35.602 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so what will we talk about? 10:35.682 --> 10:37.343 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, how about Genesis chapter? 10:37.983 --> 10:38.463 [SPEAKER_00]: Nineteen. 10:39.683 --> 10:40.683 [SPEAKER_00]: Sodom and Gomorrah. 10:42.063 --> 10:44.184 [SPEAKER_00]: Both the city of Sodom and the city Gomorrah. 10:45.324 --> 10:47.964 [SPEAKER_00]: Listen what it says in Genesis, Nineteen, twenty four. 10:48.485 --> 10:50.865 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I had a couple of verses set out. 10:50.905 --> 10:52.265 [SPEAKER_00]: They're nineteen twenty seven. 10:52.285 --> 10:57.406 [SPEAKER_00]: I think was a good one too, but Genesis, Nineteen, twenty four was really good and I'm going to read to you. 10:57.866 --> 11:02.287 [SPEAKER_00]: Then the Lord rained, brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. 11:03.328 --> 11:07.069 [SPEAKER_00]: It was from the Lord out of heaven, not a guy can do this. 11:08.630 --> 11:15.553 [SPEAKER_00]: And the thing is, the sulfur, some of these people were like salt, lost wife, why? 11:15.573 --> 11:18.434 [SPEAKER_00]: Because of her heart, she turned around, turned to put her salt. 11:18.814 --> 11:20.635 [SPEAKER_00]: These are supernatural wonders only from God. 11:20.655 --> 11:21.495 [SPEAKER_00]: This is disaster. 11:22.600 --> 11:24.981 [SPEAKER_00]: By God, last week we spoke of another. 11:25.241 --> 11:26.821 [SPEAKER_00]: We spoke of Jonah last week. 11:27.382 --> 11:29.182 [SPEAKER_00]: We had a sermon called Big Jaws. 11:29.542 --> 11:31.723 [SPEAKER_00]: Big Jaws talking about big mouth. 11:31.783 --> 11:32.863 [SPEAKER_00]: And I would talk about the great fish. 11:32.903 --> 11:34.284 [SPEAKER_00]: We talked about Nineveh. 11:34.664 --> 11:36.285 [SPEAKER_00]: That would have been turned into a disaster. 11:37.065 --> 11:39.686 [SPEAKER_00]: But they didn't because they changed. 11:39.806 --> 11:43.207 [SPEAKER_00]: However, skip ahead from Nineveh. 11:44.285 --> 11:49.327 [SPEAKER_00]: I wish I could end it with the fact on a good note on a Disney light vote and a note. 11:50.627 --> 11:51.987 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, happy ever after. 11:52.027 --> 11:53.828 [SPEAKER_00]: It's what I heard my childhood in the whole life. 11:53.868 --> 11:56.088 [SPEAKER_00]: They ended on a good note, but that's what happened. 11:56.769 --> 12:00.250 [SPEAKER_00]: Hundred and fifty years later, more or less, more or less, hundred and fifty years later. 12:01.610 --> 12:07.472 [SPEAKER_00]: The next generation of Nineveh, they became very rebellious against God. 12:07.952 --> 12:09.252 [SPEAKER_00]: And they went back to false gods. 12:09.913 --> 12:11.093 [SPEAKER_00]: Keep in mind, Nineveh was a 12:11.834 --> 12:25.113 [SPEAKER_00]: pirate place basically their pirates they're living foolishness and they're kind of in the middle this item was kind of the middle of all these other lands or people would come in and because of that all these lands are bringing 12:26.702 --> 12:27.482 [SPEAKER_00]: Foolish living. 12:27.622 --> 12:46.612 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine if you were in a small city and in between Los Angeles and Los Vegas, you would have bad coming in on all directions and man, can you imagine that and you're trying to be a little church and you're bringing in all sorts of harmful living. 12:47.172 --> 12:49.174 [SPEAKER_00]: from all these horrible places. 12:49.674 --> 12:50.675 [SPEAKER_00]: This is what happens. 12:50.695 --> 12:53.317 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when they say, be careful with company, keep this over time. 12:53.657 --> 12:55.219 [SPEAKER_00]: So, none of those are already a bad place. 12:55.319 --> 12:58.561 [SPEAKER_00]: It was like a pirate place and you're bringing all this harmful living well. 12:58.942 --> 13:02.124 [SPEAKER_00]: So, a hundred fifty years later, it got worse for buddies against guys. 13:02.144 --> 13:03.546 [SPEAKER_00]: So, God used Nehum. 13:03.746 --> 13:05.087 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what the book of Nehum is all about. 13:05.507 --> 13:07.789 [SPEAKER_00]: The book of Nehum to announce their doom. 13:08.129 --> 13:08.890 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, what happened? 13:09.370 --> 13:10.571 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, rain came down. 13:11.312 --> 13:13.253 [SPEAKER_00]: The rain came down and the floods came up. 13:13.553 --> 13:18.276 [SPEAKER_00]: So the rains came down and floods came up and destroyed their outer walls of protection. 13:18.716 --> 13:29.382 [SPEAKER_00]: Because of their outer walls of this of protection coming down, they got ram-sac, who ransacked and well, the meds and the Babylonians, ram-sac them. 13:30.498 --> 13:38.981 [SPEAKER_00]: and the Babylonians, the Meads, Rames Act, them, and not only did the Rames Act of take all the stuff they had, they set the rest of their place on fire and destroyed them. 13:39.501 --> 13:40.922 [SPEAKER_00]: So we see what happened. 13:41.022 --> 13:45.543 [SPEAKER_00]: It was destroyed by supernatural and some natural destruction. 13:46.744 --> 13:51.045 [SPEAKER_00]: Then, what's the next kind of disasters they happened? 13:51.265 --> 13:55.687 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, the next kind of natural is unnatural disasters. 13:56.787 --> 13:57.447 [SPEAKER_00]: And what do we talk about? 13:57.467 --> 13:58.988 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we talk about the natural disasters. 14:00.595 --> 14:03.176 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is not fun, not fun at all. 14:04.076 --> 14:13.678 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, pastor, so far, none of the stuff you talk about is fun, but unnatural disasters is attacked from the evil, attacked from sin, attacked from the evil on the devil in our lives. 14:14.858 --> 14:15.718 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's going to happen. 14:16.238 --> 14:17.039 [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be attacked. 14:17.379 --> 14:23.440 [SPEAKER_00]: When we've seen this before, with other people, we've seen people like Job. 14:24.415 --> 14:29.159 [SPEAKER_00]: people like David and others who get attacked from the devil and there's so many people who will talk about them and get in a minute. 14:29.679 --> 14:30.440 [SPEAKER_00]: They get attacked. 14:30.780 --> 14:31.541 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll be attacked. 14:32.081 --> 14:34.583 [SPEAKER_00]: The difference is you're either going to be attacked. 14:34.603 --> 14:37.826 [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to stand strong or you won't. 14:38.526 --> 14:39.587 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll give in to sin. 14:39.627 --> 14:40.808 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll give in to these things. 14:40.848 --> 14:41.529 [SPEAKER_00]: What are you going to do? 14:42.049 --> 14:45.051 [SPEAKER_00]: So the unnatural disasters will happen in life. 14:48.274 --> 14:53.298 [SPEAKER_00]: Proverbs chapter three verse twenty five says this and this is difficult. 14:54.500 --> 15:02.784 [SPEAKER_00]: Provost chapter three verse one, if I says, do not be afraid of sudden care nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes. 15:02.844 --> 15:08.647 [SPEAKER_00]: It does say if it comes, it says when it comes because we know that there are bad things that happen. 15:08.667 --> 15:13.049 [SPEAKER_00]: Man, I'm telling you, one of the things I hate is robbery thieves. 15:13.730 --> 15:18.472 [SPEAKER_00]: I had years ago, I had some people, I had someone steal so much of my stuff and 15:19.731 --> 15:21.771 [SPEAKER_00]: I had one person say to me, well, it's just stuff. 15:22.352 --> 15:23.332 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know why they said that? 15:23.912 --> 15:29.713 [SPEAKER_00]: Because their stuff was just mine, but none of their stuff was, none of their stuff was worth anything. 15:30.473 --> 15:31.993 [SPEAKER_00]: And so they stole none of their stuff. 15:32.674 --> 15:35.094 [SPEAKER_00]: But all of my stuff pretty much was taken. 15:35.774 --> 15:41.175 [SPEAKER_00]: And so it's so easy to sell on the side of, I just say, it's my stuff gone and my stuff on us. 15:41.315 --> 15:43.216 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh, who did this thing? 15:43.256 --> 15:44.296 [SPEAKER_00]: God, none of my stuff is gone. 15:45.156 --> 15:47.458 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they took most of your stuff that your father left you. 15:47.638 --> 15:52.081 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, it's just, uh, it's just, uh, that's not a big deal. 15:52.902 --> 15:55.184 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't be so materialistic. 15:56.104 --> 15:57.425 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't be emotional about it. 15:58.626 --> 16:02.449 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, we're not talking about putting all your hope in things. 16:03.490 --> 16:06.132 [SPEAKER_00]: But when you do get emotional, the things do happen. 16:06.978 --> 16:08.179 [SPEAKER_00]: It's okay to be emotional. 16:08.639 --> 16:15.304 [SPEAKER_00]: The point is, God protected you and God is still with you and God understands you too. 16:16.305 --> 16:17.146 [SPEAKER_00]: Things do happen. 16:17.606 --> 16:19.087 [SPEAKER_00]: People do sometimes break in. 16:19.147 --> 16:20.208 [SPEAKER_00]: People do sometimes hurt. 16:20.728 --> 16:24.831 [SPEAKER_00]: Have out those churches where people broke in and shot others and hurt others. 16:25.592 --> 16:26.713 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, there must have been a bad church. 16:26.753 --> 16:32.377 [SPEAKER_00]: God wouldn't allow that to have a God-in-line bad thing to happen to get people bull, malar, bull, low need. 16:33.487 --> 16:35.388 [SPEAKER_00]: God has allowed those things. 16:35.528 --> 16:35.808 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? 16:35.828 --> 16:37.449 [SPEAKER_00]: Because we live in a sinful world. 16:38.269 --> 16:40.710 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not because they're all sinful people. 16:40.750 --> 16:43.491 [SPEAKER_00]: How about those babies we're just talking about in the flood? 16:43.971 --> 16:45.712 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they must have been sinful. 16:45.732 --> 16:47.113 [SPEAKER_00]: No, we live in a sinful world. 16:47.713 --> 16:49.113 [SPEAKER_00]: We live in a fallen world. 16:49.614 --> 16:51.995 [SPEAKER_00]: Those babies did nothing to deserve that. 16:52.975 --> 16:55.716 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a sad, but it does happen. 16:57.377 --> 16:59.698 [SPEAKER_00]: You know what it says in first Peter chapter five or say, 17:00.944 --> 17:01.945 [SPEAKER_00]: It says, be sober. 17:02.185 --> 17:05.269 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll say to you in first Peter, chapter five or eight, I say this a lot because it's true. 17:06.070 --> 17:08.692 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to talk, I want to attack this on a few, a few ways. 17:09.113 --> 17:19.905 [SPEAKER_00]: Be sober and washful because you're adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour and he's attacking the world. 17:20.285 --> 17:21.907 [SPEAKER_00]: But you know why I want to really. 17:23.311 --> 17:28.436 [SPEAKER_00]: point out that he talks, he walks around as a roaring lion, because Jesus is the lion. 17:28.456 --> 17:31.118 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's trying to pretend to be a lion. 17:31.839 --> 17:32.500 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't help it. 17:32.540 --> 17:34.261 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'll put this out again later this year. 17:34.301 --> 17:41.028 [SPEAKER_00]: He reminds me of the cowardly lion going around trying to roar, but can, yeah, you should remember that. 17:41.889 --> 17:44.511 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not scared of you, but he's scared of one who lives in you. 17:45.452 --> 17:47.754 [SPEAKER_00]: And we'll talk about that a little later this year. 17:47.934 --> 17:48.415 [SPEAKER_00]: Probably not. 17:51.319 --> 17:56.042 [SPEAKER_00]: and last but not least, first, well, before I go that, let me just say this. 17:57.603 --> 18:00.846 [SPEAKER_00]: Bad things do and will happen at times. 18:01.446 --> 18:02.807 [SPEAKER_00]: Pastor, you're not making me feel better. 18:02.827 --> 18:05.649 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, but honesty is honesty. 18:06.330 --> 18:07.731 [SPEAKER_00]: They do when we're happening at times. 18:07.791 --> 18:11.693 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes, till you are people you know, are people you know of. 18:12.194 --> 18:13.655 [SPEAKER_00]: Even just here, you see it on the news. 18:14.367 --> 18:15.508 [SPEAKER_00]: You see what happens to people? 18:16.329 --> 18:18.650 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes people just be on a subway and they get attacked. 18:18.691 --> 18:21.072 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes there's people you've heard of that shit. 18:22.213 --> 18:25.536 [SPEAKER_00]: That's not a silly attack on them as far as they've done something bad. 18:25.556 --> 18:29.920 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes there's someone you heard of a relative that you don't even know or know of very well. 18:29.940 --> 18:36.465 [SPEAKER_00]: But also, and so was all the way home and someone hit them with a car or whatever, you know, you've heard you hear of it. 18:37.806 --> 18:41.689 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we hear a personal attack of a girl being 18:43.622 --> 18:52.685 [SPEAKER_00]: physically attack, but won't go deep into that robbery, attacks, murder, fights, wrongdoings, physical or mental or spiritual attacks. 18:53.806 --> 19:04.750 [SPEAKER_00]: These are what we call personal disasters, personal disasters, some are natural, some are bad decisions, self-caused, some are good decisions. 19:05.590 --> 19:06.931 [SPEAKER_00]: How can we get a good decision? 19:06.971 --> 19:08.591 [SPEAKER_00]: Because it didn't for God. 19:09.692 --> 19:13.153 [SPEAKER_00]: And the enemy attacks you because of your good decisions. 19:14.372 --> 19:15.413 [SPEAKER_00]: So how do we know the difference? 19:15.493 --> 19:16.374 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you'll know. 19:16.755 --> 19:17.155 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll know. 19:18.737 --> 19:23.402 [SPEAKER_00]: And Sam's cause by others says, I say, God is always there to guide us through these problems. 19:23.682 --> 19:27.286 [SPEAKER_00]: He's always there to guide us, but we need to listen with our spirit to heart. 19:28.107 --> 19:31.470 [SPEAKER_00]: Which brings us to this last verse of this area, and then we'll go to another. 19:31.911 --> 19:33.993 [SPEAKER_00]: First John five, four through five. 19:34.908 --> 19:43.515 [SPEAKER_00]: First John, five, four, three, five says, for whoever is born of God, overcomes the world, and the victory that overcomes the world is our faith. 19:44.115 --> 19:49.459 [SPEAKER_00]: Who is it that overcomes the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 19:50.640 --> 19:51.601 [SPEAKER_00]: Because why? 19:51.681 --> 19:56.245 [SPEAKER_00]: Because greatest he was in us, and he was of the world, those tapots of chapter before that. 19:56.305 --> 19:58.106 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, why? 19:58.647 --> 20:02.410 [SPEAKER_00]: Because the next kind of disaster, spiritual disaster. 20:03.305 --> 20:06.006 [SPEAKER_00]: In the Bible, sometimes we hear spiritual disasters. 20:07.166 --> 20:10.988 [SPEAKER_00]: These are spiritual disasters because of spiritual warfare. 20:11.028 --> 20:16.049 [SPEAKER_00]: We just talked about the enemy attacking us because we're living for God because we're going to be attacked spiritually. 20:16.890 --> 20:20.031 [SPEAKER_00]: David's unborn child was attacked and killed. 20:20.171 --> 20:20.551 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? 20:21.171 --> 20:24.972 [SPEAKER_00]: Because of the spiritual warfare, when's he failed at that time? 20:25.112 --> 20:27.173 [SPEAKER_00]: But overcame eventually. 20:28.226 --> 20:30.070 [SPEAKER_00]: Who was we'll talk about next week? 20:30.350 --> 20:30.851 [SPEAKER_00]: A little bit. 20:31.232 --> 20:31.973 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit. 20:32.214 --> 20:33.757 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about David's battles. 20:35.580 --> 20:36.041 [SPEAKER_00]: Who else? 20:36.462 --> 20:37.204 [SPEAKER_00]: Joe was children. 20:38.308 --> 20:42.909 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, some say, Joe's kids were innocent, did nothing wrong. 20:42.989 --> 20:47.751 [SPEAKER_00]: Some say that maybe Joe's kids were doing stuff that weren't right. 20:48.351 --> 20:49.711 [SPEAKER_00]: And we don't really know. 20:50.091 --> 20:53.092 [SPEAKER_00]: All we know is that Joe did a lot of times give sacrifices. 20:53.472 --> 20:56.273 [SPEAKER_00]: In case they were doing something wrong, he did do that. 20:56.313 --> 20:58.553 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, we don't want to make assumptions. 20:59.254 --> 21:02.854 [SPEAKER_00]: We don't want to say, well, we know they were living a simple, and preachers do that sometimes. 21:02.874 --> 21:04.095 [SPEAKER_00]: But we don't want to make assumptions. 21:05.047 --> 21:06.648 [SPEAKER_00]: We won't say we know there are hundred percent innocent. 21:06.668 --> 21:07.348 [SPEAKER_00]: They did nothing wrong. 21:07.368 --> 21:08.109 [SPEAKER_00]: Now we are adults. 21:09.169 --> 21:15.212 [SPEAKER_00]: Some even may, I haven't seen it preachery on time making a assumption that the brothers and the sisters were doing inappropriate things together. 21:15.712 --> 21:17.313 [SPEAKER_00]: This is an awful lot of assumptions. 21:17.913 --> 21:18.874 [SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to do that. 21:19.014 --> 21:25.477 [SPEAKER_00]: You just want to say what the Bible says, which is that just in case it is something Joe was given sacrifices for him in the God. 21:25.537 --> 21:27.918 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, what we do know is that Joe loved them. 21:27.958 --> 21:28.658 [SPEAKER_00]: They were his children. 21:29.419 --> 21:31.820 [SPEAKER_00]: And that out of nowhere, the winds came, 21:32.989 --> 21:36.296 [SPEAKER_00]: knock the walls down and the roof fell down and killed them. 21:37.058 --> 21:37.900 [SPEAKER_00]: That God do that. 21:38.020 --> 21:39.463 [SPEAKER_00]: No, God allowed that. 21:39.844 --> 21:43.492 [SPEAKER_00]: God allowed the devil to tempt Job. 21:44.360 --> 21:45.641 [SPEAKER_00]: and Joe still didn't give in. 21:46.202 --> 21:47.663 [SPEAKER_00]: Now why did this happen? 21:47.683 --> 21:49.024 [SPEAKER_00]: Because it was spiritual warfare. 21:49.324 --> 21:51.225 [SPEAKER_00]: The devil was attacking Job. 21:51.766 --> 21:52.126 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? 21:52.787 --> 21:53.127 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? 21:53.347 --> 21:55.609 [SPEAKER_00]: Because Job loved God and put God first. 21:56.149 --> 21:57.851 [SPEAKER_00]: And God was proud of Job. 21:57.891 --> 21:59.112 [SPEAKER_00]: And he wanted to attack him. 21:59.172 --> 22:06.558 [SPEAKER_00]: And so I say to you, if you're being spiritually attacked and you're being, you're going to experience with his answers, it could very well be because 22:07.298 --> 22:31.761 [SPEAKER_00]: Satan hates your guts and liver because of Jesus who lives in you because you love Jesus because you're coming to church because you're studying the Word of God because Satan wants to knock you out not because of you he's not scared of you because he doesn't like the fact that you love Jesus so much remember that when disasters come it's not because of that you're so powerful but because the power of Jesus living in you Amen 22:32.608 --> 22:34.989 [SPEAKER_00]: Romans, twelve, twelve, Romans, twelve, twelve. 22:35.029 --> 22:41.111 [SPEAKER_00]: Rejoice and hope be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. 22:41.451 --> 22:43.212 [SPEAKER_00]: I've seen people say my husband's dead. 22:43.672 --> 22:44.533 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm done with church. 22:44.893 --> 22:45.693 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm done with prayer. 22:46.033 --> 22:46.854 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm done with a Bible. 22:46.974 --> 22:47.894 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't be dumb. 22:48.394 --> 22:49.255 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't be dumb. 22:49.375 --> 22:51.635 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna, I'm gonna brag on my mommy just a little bit. 22:51.716 --> 22:52.656 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I call her mommy. 22:53.456 --> 22:54.337 [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't use a car. 22:54.377 --> 22:55.417 [SPEAKER_00]: Mommy, I call her mom. 22:56.617 --> 22:57.958 [SPEAKER_00]: That's a fun to the story too. 22:58.718 --> 23:00.439 [SPEAKER_00]: When I was going into the hospital, 23:01.462 --> 23:02.883 [SPEAKER_00]: And she couldn't really touch me. 23:03.523 --> 23:08.927 [SPEAKER_00]: There's the first time she couldn't touch me, because they said that she couldn't while I was there, get ready to go to surgery. 23:09.387 --> 23:11.689 [SPEAKER_00]: And I looked through her just to be honoring called her mom. 23:12.209 --> 23:12.950 [SPEAKER_00]: And it stuck. 23:13.590 --> 23:15.972 [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm gonna brag on my mom just a little bit. 23:16.792 --> 23:24.037 [SPEAKER_00]: My mom, whenever my father passed away in February of, of, two thousand and ten. 23:24.778 --> 23:26.779 [SPEAKER_00]: My heart were broken and her heart was broken. 23:26.979 --> 23:30.822 [SPEAKER_00]: And we missed my dad terrible much, but we'd always had him and so we're happy for him. 23:32.505 --> 23:38.867 [SPEAKER_00]: While others may have quit because of heartbroken, she put her heart all the way to Jesus. 23:40.047 --> 23:44.409 [SPEAKER_00]: And she didn't quit going to church, even though she had to go to a different one for a little while for a couple years. 23:45.069 --> 23:52.571 [SPEAKER_00]: She kept serving and putting her first love to Jesus because she knew that she didn't, she would get used to not going to church. 23:52.971 --> 23:54.872 [SPEAKER_00]: She knew the habit would stop. 23:55.252 --> 23:57.352 [SPEAKER_00]: And so she put Jesus first all the time. 23:57.673 --> 24:02.034 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm bragging on her because she was patient and suffering and persevering prayer. 24:04.007 --> 24:04.348 [SPEAKER_00]: Amen. 24:05.569 --> 24:15.503 [SPEAKER_00]: James one thirteen let no man say when he is tempted I am tempted by God for God cannot be tempted with evil. 24:15.603 --> 24:20.149 [SPEAKER_00]: We saw that with Jesus but he do equal to the Word of God over and over and over again. 24:21.115 --> 24:21.935 [SPEAKER_00]: What does this say here? 24:22.015 --> 24:23.676 [SPEAKER_00]: For God cannot be tempted with evil. 24:23.756 --> 24:25.917 [SPEAKER_00]: Neither does he tempt anyone. 24:26.217 --> 24:28.538 [SPEAKER_00]: I hear people say, God tempted me with alcohol. 24:28.578 --> 24:29.959 [SPEAKER_00]: God tempted me with pornography. 24:29.999 --> 24:31.200 [SPEAKER_00]: God tempted me with anger. 24:31.220 --> 24:32.580 [SPEAKER_00]: God tempted me with gossip. 24:32.600 --> 24:33.241 [SPEAKER_00]: God tempted me. 24:33.541 --> 24:37.563 [SPEAKER_00]: Shut up, use God did not tempt you with anything. 24:37.883 --> 24:44.126 [SPEAKER_00]: You're tempted with evil and you're blaming God because you don't want to take responsibility for your weaknesses. 24:45.186 --> 24:47.187 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't you choose my Lord and Savior of it? 24:48.588 --> 24:49.088 [SPEAKER_00]: You're richer. 24:51.345 --> 24:52.665 [SPEAKER_00]: First, John one five. 24:52.725 -->

which we have heard from him and declared to you, God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 25:13.549 --> 25:16.870 [SPEAKER_00]: How could God tempt you if he has no evil in him? 25:16.970 --> 25:19.110 [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't, and he cannot tempt you. 25:21.555 --> 25:32.145 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when there is a bad thing coming, lesbian tornado, lesbian earthquake, whether it be flash flood, and I'll tell you sometimes it's annoying. 25:32.505 --> 25:34.347 [SPEAKER_00]: But when something is happening, maybe it's a missing child. 25:34.687 --> 25:36.308 [SPEAKER_00]: But when you

scare us when he's trying to come and attack you. 26:25.264 --> 26:26.964 [SPEAKER_00]: The alarm service is going off. 26:26.984 --> 26:28.284 [SPEAKER_00]: You can call a spidey senses. 26:28.564 --> 26:29.364 [SPEAKER_00]: It's going off on it. 26:29.624 --> 26:31.125 [SPEAKER_00]: The spiritual senses are going off. 26:31.385 --> 26:32.605 [SPEAKER_00]: It's trying to warn you careful.

26:56.231 [SPEAKER_00]: And that movie, okay, it's cornball, but I like it. 26:56.451 --> 27:00.832 [SPEAKER_00]: But in the middle of that movie, I don't know how they did it because it's a movie, it's all scripted. 27:00.872 --> 27:01.673 [SPEAKER_00]: But what? 27:01.973 --> 27:02.493 [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't real. 27:03.322 --> 27:04.123 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like what's in wrestling? 27:04.163

[SPEAKER_00]: This is how it happens. 27:18.033 --> 27:19.935 [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean you're not gonna go through this disaster. 27:20.575 --> 27:24.018 [SPEAKER_00]: It means that when you're going through the disaster, the Holy Spirit is with you. 27:24.038 --> 27:25.739 [SPEAKER_00]: Your GPS. 27:28.261 --> 27:30.042 [SPEAKER_00]: Your godly positioning service. 27:30.503 --> 27:31.944 [SPEAKER_00]: Godly positioning spirit. 27:33.753 --> 27:35.276 [SPEAKER_00]: John, fourteen, twenty six. 27:36.559 --> 27:38.303 [SPEAKER_00]: John, fourteen, twenty six in the last supper. 27:38.343 --> 27:39.566 [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus said this to those. 27:40.428 --> 27:41.530 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Judas wasn't there. 27:41.570 --> 27:42.873 [SPEAKER_00]: He was out there and been heathen. 27:43.814 --> 27:45.596 [SPEAKER_00]: He was out there being, and he just left. 27:45.716 --> 27:47.998 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give me thirty pieces of silver. 27:48.439 --> 27:50.100 [SPEAKER_00]: And what did he say to those who are still there? 27:50.120 --> 27:52.143 [SPEAKER_00]: And John fourteen twenty six. 27:52.743 --> 28:04.055 [SPEAKER_00]: He said, but the counselor of the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you. 28:05.536 --> 28:06.818 [SPEAKER_00]: So when the Holy Spirit comes, 28:07.962 --> 28:10.006 [SPEAKER_00]: And says, this is what Jesus is telling you. 28:10.366 --> 28:11.789 [SPEAKER_00]: This is what the Father is telling you. 28:12.089 --> 28:13.272 [SPEAKER_00]: This is what it says in the Word. 28:13.532 --> 28:14.374 [SPEAKER_00]: You best listen up. 28:14.854 --> 28:15.596 [SPEAKER_00]: Be prepared. 28:16.057 --> 28:16.738 [SPEAKER_00]: Be prepared. 28:17.840 --> 28:19.743 [SPEAKER_00]: Romans eight, twenty six. 28:21.157 --> 28:23.078 [SPEAKER_00]: All of Romans, will we talk about Romans later this month? 28:23.838 --> 28:24.859 [SPEAKER_00]: Romans eight, twenty six. 28:25.399 --> 28:29.601 [SPEAKER_00]: Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness is, I'll say it again. 28:30.101 --> 28:31.802 [SPEAKER_00]: Likewise, eight, Romans eight, twenty six. 28:32.062 --> 28:38.565 [SPEAKER_00]: Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses for we do not know what to pray for as we ought. 28:39.446 --> 28:46.409 [SPEAKER_00]: But the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with grownings to be for words. 28:47.149 --> 28:48.090 [SPEAKER_00]: Can I pray in the Spirit? 28:48.695 --> 28:50.976 [SPEAKER_00]: Here's been tons of I've been upset, very upset. 28:51.656 --> 28:52.797 [SPEAKER_00]: You, yeah, me. 28:53.577 --> 28:55.218 [SPEAKER_00]: So upset, I didn't know what to do. 28:55.819 --> 28:59.360 [SPEAKER_00]: And I started praying in all of a sudden, I started praying in the spirit. 29:00.401 --> 29:01.762 [SPEAKER_00]: God, like tongues, but a little different. 29:01.782 --> 29:12.087 [SPEAKER_00]: And when I prayed in the spirit, oh, I don't have explain to you, but it was so powerful that tears is pouring down because the Holy Spirit took care of what I did not. 29:13.247 --> 29:14.568 [SPEAKER_00]: I never felt close to the God of mine. 29:16.634 --> 29:25.356 [SPEAKER_00]: because you know why, it was God speaking to me and through me, and that's what God is promising to us right there. 29:26.576 --> 29:27.636 [SPEAKER_00]: And you can do that too. 29:29.396 --> 29:32.717 [SPEAKER_00]: James, chapter four, verse seven. 29:33.157 --> 29:38.798 [SPEAKER_00]: I want you to remember this when you read James and Jude, as Jesus' little brothers, little half brothers. 29:38.818 --> 29:41.099 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to think how cute that is. 29:42.219 --> 29:43.359 [SPEAKER_00]: Even here have any siblings, 29:44.798 --> 29:46.418 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, that closest you have is a sibling. 29:46.999 --> 29:49.999 [SPEAKER_00]: Think about it as little brothers who didn't believe that he was son of God for a time. 29:50.659 --> 29:55.961 [SPEAKER_00]: And then, not only did they accept him before he ascended into heaven, how cute it is. 29:56.501 --> 29:58.341 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's cute to think about my brother. 29:58.842 --> 30:01.362 [SPEAKER_00]: So I get, I love when I get to tell people my brother to chief of police around here. 30:02.202 --> 30:09.124 [SPEAKER_00]: I think so cute that they, because I'm his little brother, not in size, but in age, about three years. 30:09.844 --> 30:12.585 [SPEAKER_00]: I love when they get to say, my big brother is a son of God. 30:14.129 --> 30:15.570 [SPEAKER_00]: In that key, I like that. 30:15.590 --> 30:16.191 [SPEAKER_00]: That's adorable. 30:16.531 --> 30:25.438 [SPEAKER_00]: So James Ford seven says, therefore submit yourself to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 30:25.998 --> 30:26.819 [SPEAKER_00]: Why am I telling you that? 30:27.359 --> 30:38.688 [SPEAKER_00]: Because when the authority tells you, that is the Holy Spirit tells you of something, and warns you of the difficulties, warns you the difficulties coming upon you that you are the midst of, he says, 30:39.328 --> 30:40.529 [SPEAKER_00]: You can resist it, Philip. 30:40.929 --> 30:42.110 [SPEAKER_00]: You can resist the Sam. 30:42.450 --> 30:43.591 [SPEAKER_00]: You can resist a sister. 30:43.971 --> 30:44.991 [SPEAKER_00]: You can resist a brother. 30:45.332 --> 30:51.055 [SPEAKER_00]: Whoever it might be, whatever it is that you're tempted by tonight, this morning, whatever it is, you can resist it. 30:51.395 --> 30:52.216 [SPEAKER_00]: Resist the devil. 30:52.276 --> 30:53.877 [SPEAKER_00]: He, he might flee from you. 30:54.477 --> 30:55.178 [SPEAKER_00]: It's possible. 30:55.278 --> 30:55.958 [SPEAKER_00]: No, he doesn't say that. 30:56.558 --> 30:56.999 [SPEAKER_00]: What does he say? 30:57.339 --> 30:58.880 [SPEAKER_00]: He will flee from you. 31:00.013 --> 31:00.773 [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm still tempted. 31:00.973 --> 31:02.974 [SPEAKER_00]: What quick thinking of the joy of that said? 31:02.994 --> 31:04.955 [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, the joy of sin lasts for people. 31:05.035 --> 31:06.075 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you don't find joy in sin. 31:06.095 --> 31:06.595 [SPEAKER_00]: That's a lie. 31:07.116 --> 31:09.477 [SPEAKER_00]: You find joy in sin, but just for a smidge of a second. 31:10.617 --> 31:14.458 [SPEAKER_00]: Anytime you ever thrown a fit, it feels good for a second. 31:14.819 --> 31:15.479 [SPEAKER_00]: Just for a second. 31:16.199 --> 31:20.261 [SPEAKER_00]: When you yell at someone, I told them what for. 31:20.801 --> 31:22.241 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I shouldn't have done that. 31:22.922 --> 31:25.182 [SPEAKER_00]: And then you start feeling bad and get guilt comes on. 31:25.223 --> 31:25.523 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? 31:26.263 --> 31:28.024 [SPEAKER_00]: You hear it, son, daughter. 31:28.224 --> 31:29.004 [SPEAKER_00]: You shouldn't have done that. 31:29.818 --> 31:30.518 [SPEAKER_00]: You shouldn't have done that. 31:31.179 --> 31:32.499 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know it because you start to feel bad. 31:32.539 --> 31:35.281 [SPEAKER_00]: And then one or two things happens, either you go, you're riding it. 31:35.681 --> 31:39.223 [SPEAKER_00]: And you apologize or you're too proud of it. 31:39.243 --> 31:41.064 [SPEAKER_00]: And you say, no, I did good. 31:41.324 --> 31:42.444 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad I told them. 31:42.725 --> 31:43.425 [SPEAKER_00]: I told them. 31:43.945 --> 31:45.006 [SPEAKER_00]: And then you feel really guilty. 31:45.066 --> 31:47.147 [SPEAKER_00]: You ever don't don't admit it, don't admit to me. 31:47.467 --> 31:47.827 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a guy. 31:48.087 --> 31:49.588 [SPEAKER_00]: But it's terrible. 31:50.769 --> 31:53.710 [SPEAKER_00]: And one other part here, couple of us here. 31:55.191 --> 31:59.153 [SPEAKER_00]: One other thing you always see when it's asked or happens, you see disaster relief. 32:00.632 --> 32:03.093 [SPEAKER_00]: People come in and help, but I'm so proud of them for that. 32:03.933 --> 32:05.673 [SPEAKER_00]: But you know what we get with this asteroid? 32:06.493 --> 32:09.774 [SPEAKER_00]: When you go through disaster, here comes the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit. 32:10.194 --> 32:11.914 [SPEAKER_00]: They come in, they pick you up. 32:12.775 --> 32:15.095 [SPEAKER_00]: They're the Word of God, picks you up when you need it. 32:15.115 --> 32:22.377 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you felt that hug, that spiritual hug, through prayer, the Holy Spirit, all that picks you up. 32:22.397 --> 32:23.337 [SPEAKER_00]: But you know what else it does? 32:23.357 --> 32:24.317 [SPEAKER_00]: The Lord does? 32:24.337 --> 32:27.678 [SPEAKER_00]: The Lord talks to your family. 32:28.486 --> 32:30.606 [SPEAKER_00]: to your spiritual family. 32:31.126 --> 32:32.427 [SPEAKER_00]: Your brothers and sisters are crushed. 32:32.947 --> 32:37.167 [SPEAKER_00]: It means like, oh, I don't know if I guess all of a sudden, my sister's shirt is hard. 32:37.708 --> 32:39.008 [SPEAKER_00]: She thinks of Brother Sam. 32:39.868 --> 32:44.389 [SPEAKER_00]: She thinks of whoever or sister's students are thinking of pastor or whoever. 32:45.029 --> 32:46.309 [SPEAKER_00]: And then they start praying for them. 32:46.329 --> 32:51.310 [SPEAKER_00]: And then all of a sudden, I mean, they, I've even seen where God will wake someone up in the middle of the night. 32:51.770 --> 32:53.890 [SPEAKER_00]: I've done it wake up after I started thinking of someone's own son. 32:53.910 --> 32:57.351 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not gonna find out and not that I'm like, oh, so powerful, God woke me up, no. 32:58.189 --> 33:08.296 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not that, it's that God is so powerful that they wake up and they find out of the exact same time, brother or sister so-and-so was going through this and they were in need of prayer. 33:08.476 --> 33:11.638 [SPEAKER_00]: Not because we're powerful, but the power of God is there and it's real. 33:12.658 --> 33:16.621 [SPEAKER_00]: And a brother and sister come in and try to help another brother or sister out. 33:17.221 --> 33:19.303 [SPEAKER_00]: This is what it says in Psalm ninety one verse two. 33:19.323 --> 33:22.485 [SPEAKER_00]: I will say of the Lord 33:23.687 --> 33:29.188 [SPEAKER_00]: He is my refuge in my fortress, my God in whom I trust. 33:29.228 --> 33:34.989 [SPEAKER_00]: We've pressed in God, but we're there to be there for one another too, because God can strengthen through one another. 33:36.350 --> 33:37.810 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I mentioned Nehum, while ago. 33:38.610 --> 33:42.091 [SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned how Nehum spoke to the people of Nineveh. 33:43.891 --> 33:49.253 [SPEAKER_00]: Right before he was telling about doom and gloom, which was happening, because of God, he said this to them. 33:49.413 --> 33:50.813 [SPEAKER_00]: Nehum, chapter one, verse seven, 33:51.720 --> 33:57.664 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm chapter one, verse seven, he said, the Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of distress. 33:58.905 --> 34:02.167 [SPEAKER_00]: And he knows those who take refuge in him. 34:03.388 --> 34:04.589 [SPEAKER_00]: He take refuge in God. 34:04.649 --> 34:05.170 [SPEAKER_00]: He knows it. 34:06.130 --> 34:07.912 [SPEAKER_00]: He knows, and he also knows those who don't. 34:08.632 --> 34:09.493 [SPEAKER_00]: He knows those who don't. 34:11.094 --> 34:12.675 [SPEAKER_00]: I was mentioning the last step for what I go. 34:13.135 --> 34:16.358 [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus also said this in John, sixteen, thirty, three, the last separate. 34:17.178 --> 34:17.759 [SPEAKER_00]: And I love this. 34:18.835 --> 34:23.496 [SPEAKER_00]: I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. 34:24.357 --> 34:24.997 [SPEAKER_00]: Now listen to this. 34:26.737 --> 34:32.239 [SPEAKER_00]: In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. 34:33.079 --> 34:35.500 [SPEAKER_00]: I have overcome the world. 34:38.060 --> 34:41.821 [SPEAKER_00]: Is your life in one way or another disaster area today? 34:44.082 --> 34:48.003 [SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps you're afraid of possible disasters that are going on. 34:48.983 --> 34:50.424 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what's happening with your family. 34:51.305 --> 34:51.665 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. 34:51.685 --> 34:53.466 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what's going on with your job. 34:54.547 --> 34:58.269 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know with bills and all these other things. 34:58.849 --> 35:08.936 [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever kind of disaster it is, whether it be natural, supernatural, unnatural, spiritual disasters or others handed over to God, handed over to God today in your life. 35:10.597 --> 35:16.861 [SPEAKER_00]: Listen to the alerting authorities, the Holy Spirit before that his ashes come or while you're in the midst of it. 35:17.900 --> 35:26.128 [SPEAKER_00]: Receive assistance from the disaster relief from God or your spiritual family around you for you are not alone. 35:26.609 --> 35:28.831 [SPEAKER_00]: You're not alone and it's difficult time. 35:29.191 --> 35:29.932 [SPEAKER_00]: You're not alone. 35:31.440 --> 35:34.421 [SPEAKER_00]: It says in Colossians one, sixteen through seventeen. 35:34.601 --> 35:41.384 [SPEAKER_00]: It says, for by him, all things are created that are in heaven and that are in the earth, are in earth. 35:42.104 --> 35:49.687 [SPEAKER_00]: Visible and invisible, whether they are thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things are created by him and for him. 35:50.347 --> 35:53.588 [SPEAKER_00]: He is before all things and in him, all things hold together. 35:54.609 --> 35:55.549 [SPEAKER_00]: Then why do I say that? 35:56.770 --> 35:57.550 [SPEAKER_00]: God isn't charged. 35:58.957 --> 36:02.200 [SPEAKER_00]: In other words, you're saying that God does all the storms, no. 36:03.120 --> 36:06.883 [SPEAKER_00]: God allows these things to happen, but it doesn't mean that God makes it happen. 36:07.744 --> 36:11.767 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to read to you before I finish before I get to the closing verse. 36:12.127 --> 36:14.369 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to read you two verses in Revelation. 36:14.949 --> 36:16.010 [SPEAKER_00]: Two verses in Revelation. 36:17.111 --> 36:17.812 [SPEAKER_00]: And I say this 36:19.075 --> 36:24.356 [SPEAKER_00]: because one sounds terrifying, sort of, and one doesn't. 36:24.416 --> 36:28.658 [SPEAKER_00]: First of all, one sounds terrifying if you think that you'll be here for it. 36:29.518 --> 36:34.239 [SPEAKER_00]: But if you have asked Jesus, as your personal own savior, I got news for you. 36:35.039 --> 36:35.960 [SPEAKER_00]: You won't be here for it. 36:37.220 --> 36:37.560 [SPEAKER_00]: You won't. 36:38.180 --> 36:39.240 [SPEAKER_00]: You won't be here for this. 36:39.781 --> 36:41.161 [SPEAKER_00]: Revelation sixteen eighteen. 36:42.762 --> 36:55.810 [SPEAKER_00]: But this one says in Revelation, sixteen, eighteen, and there were noises and thundering and lightning and a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had never occurred since men were on the earth. 36:56.650 --> 37:01.053 [SPEAKER_00]: Now when I was a young boy, I used to hear my father, the pastor at the time. 37:01.873 --> 37:05.455 [SPEAKER_00]: I used to hear him talk about earthquakes and thunderings. 37:06.536 --> 37:07.616 [SPEAKER_00]: Now maybe I'm alone here. 37:08.517 --> 37:09.518 [SPEAKER_00]: But why not hear thunderings? 37:10.497 --> 37:12.679 [SPEAKER_00]: I get a little terrified, obviously I did when I was a kid. 37:12.739 --> 37:18.304 [SPEAKER_00]: And lightning, I get scared, you hear a boom and you jump a little, you know. 37:19.165 --> 37:23.008 [SPEAKER_00]: When I hear my father speak about this stuff, I couldn't help but think that God was going to get us. 37:23.729 --> 37:24.770 [SPEAKER_00]: And I get a little scared. 37:25.390 --> 37:30.034 [SPEAKER_00]: And when I hear my dad speak about this kind of stuff and read this kind of stuff, I was like, God's going to get mad at me. 37:30.695 --> 37:34.959 [SPEAKER_00]: It's always talking about because the end of the world as it is a sinful place. 37:35.867 --> 37:42.315 [SPEAKER_00]: But you, Christian, if you've asked Jesus to save you of your sins, you have nothing to worry about. 37:43.777 --> 37:50.967 [SPEAKER_00]: You will be safely with him and listen what it says in Revelation chapter twenty one verse four. 37:53.437 --> 37:55.298 [SPEAKER_00]: This is when we will be with him on the New Earth. 37:55.979 --> 38:03.563 [SPEAKER_00]: When everything's created brand new again, it says, God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 38:03.884 --> 38:04.584 [SPEAKER_00]: Listen this now. 38:04.984 --> 38:07.065 [SPEAKER_00]: There shall be no more death. 38:07.726 --> 38:14.590 [SPEAKER_00]: Neither shall there be any more sorrow nor crying or pain for the former things have passed away. 38:15.571 --> 38:22.115 [SPEAKER_00]: And I want to read that to you because when you're going through disaster, when you're going through difficulties, 38:22.968 --> 38:27.672 [SPEAKER_00]: When you believe there's nothing good left for you, it's sometimes easy to think. 38:28.153 --> 38:29.794 [SPEAKER_00]: You're never going to have anything happy again. 38:30.795 --> 38:31.956 [SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to see the good. 38:32.296 --> 38:33.537 [SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to see the silver lining. 38:34.198 --> 38:36.580 [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm here to tell you, God is with you. 38:37.421 --> 38:39.843 [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to wipe away all the tears. 38:41.004 --> 38:42.946 [SPEAKER_00]: And there's nothing but good in the future for you. 38:43.887 --> 38:47.710 [SPEAKER_00]: Even when you go through difficulties, God has all worked out for you. 38:48.491 --> 38:49.752 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'll close with this scripture. 38:50.691 --> 38:51.572 [SPEAKER_00]: and then we'll go to prayer. 38:52.593 --> 38:55.615 [SPEAKER_00]: Second Thessalonians, three, sixteen says this. 38:56.676 --> 39:01.940 [SPEAKER_00]: Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way. 39:02.701 --> 39:04.422 [SPEAKER_00]: The Lord be with you all. 39:05.163 --> 39:05.904 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's count for it. 39:07.305 --> 39:10.668 [SPEAKER_00]: Dear precious Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus. 39:11.829 --> 39:13.330 [SPEAKER_00]: I thank you for being with us today. 39:14.542 --> 39:16.462 [SPEAKER_00]: Lord, I know that we all go through disasters. 39:17.243 --> 39:26.704 [SPEAKER_00]: I know Lord God that sometimes we form this disaster or self by turning our eyes away from you or our ears off and not listen to you. 39:27.565 --> 39:33.486 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we listen to our own emotions and our own wants and not listen to your word nor the Holy Spirit. 39:34.206 --> 39:43.648 [SPEAKER_00]: And so sometimes we cause these things and if there be anyone watching today or listening today are here today who is going through such difficulties because of things they've caused 39:44.835 --> 39:53.237 [SPEAKER_00]: I pray to God, you will show them peace today and help them to get back on the right track, help them through these difficulties. 39:53.297 --> 40:10.381 [SPEAKER_00]: If there's anyone going through difficulties, natural difficulties in life, the loss of a loved one, our difficulties in the marriage, our difficulties in their job, or other such difficulties financially or anything else, I pray you'll help them through that, show them they're not alone. 40:11.041 --> 40:13.422 [SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps the enemy is attacking them. 40:14.377 --> 40:16.239 [SPEAKER_00]: And they're spiritually going through difficulties. 40:16.259 --> 40:17.620 [SPEAKER_00]: They're feeling like they're all alone. 40:17.660 --> 40:19.641 [SPEAKER_00]: I pray that you will show them they're not alone. 40:20.522 --> 40:23.044 [SPEAKER_00]: And that they will feel your presence even at this time. 40:23.084 --> 40:28.909 [SPEAKER_00]: And I pray no matter what the disaster is, but that you, Lord God will sin the disaster relief. 40:30.010 --> 40:36.074 [SPEAKER_00]: I pray Lord they will hear the spiritual weather service, alerting them of things that need to be taken care of. 40:36.715 --> 40:38.837 [SPEAKER_00]: I pray that this day, everything will change. 40:39.577 --> 40:43.160 [SPEAKER_00]: Not necessarily because there won't be disasters, but because the way that we handle it. 40:44.215 --> 40:46.388 [SPEAKER_00]: I pray all of this in your holy and precious name. 40:46.931 --> 40:47.173 [SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
