<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor you're still looking good, better than yesterday, and tomorrow you will shine in Jesus' name.

<v Speaker 2>Meta, meta, sparkle, sparkle, shiny, shiny.

00:00:33.622 --> 00:00:37.722

00:00:37.722 --> 00:00:40.103
<v Speaker 2>Does that apply at night?

00:00:40.103 --> 00:00:46.067
<v Speaker 2>OK, we are glad that you could join us today.

00:00:46.067 --> 00:00:49.969
<v Speaker 2>We thank God for the prayers that have been prayed.

00:00:49.969 --> 00:00:52.524
<v Speaker 2>Do you believe God answers prayer?

00:00:52.524 --> 00:00:54.542
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it does.

00:00:54.542 --> 00:00:56.944
<v Speaker 2>When has He answered them?

00:00:56.944 --> 00:01:04.965
<v Speaker 2>Has He answered them When God is a God of the now?

00:01:04.965 --> 00:01:07.224
<v Speaker 2>So your prayers are answered.

00:01:07.224 --> 00:01:10.165
<v Speaker 2>Just begin to receive them by faith.

00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:15.349
<v Speaker 2>We are reading the scripture, second Timothy 3, 16 to 17.

00:01:15.349 --> 00:01:30.909
<v Speaker 2>Today we bring to the summit Empowered Voice.

00:01:30.909 --> 00:01:33.266
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor Empowered Voice.

00:01:33.266 --> 00:01:37.789
<v Speaker 2>So we want to read our second Timothy 3.

00:01:37.789 --> 00:01:41.149
<v Speaker 2>I will read from verse 14 to 17.

00:01:41.819 --> 00:01:46.510
<v Speaker 2>We want to talk today about the inspired voice of God's Word.

00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:49.906
<v Speaker 2>Let me pick it from verse 14.

00:01:49.906 --> 00:01:55.884
<v Speaker 2>This is Paul writing to Timothy And this is what he said.

00:01:55.884 --> 00:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>He said but as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it and how.

00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:21.903
<v Speaker 2>From infancy you have known the holy scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

00:02:21.903 --> 00:02:43.891
<v Speaker 2>All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

00:02:43.891 --> 00:02:50.681
<v Speaker 2>This is God's Word And God's people say let us pray, father again.

00:02:50.681 --> 00:02:59.830
<v Speaker 2>We take time to just commit our hearts, our ears, our minds as we release this Word of God.

00:02:59.830 --> 00:03:27.990
<v Speaker 2>Thank you that through the month we have talked about the voice, the empowered voice, inspired revelation, and tonight, lord, i pray that, even as we bring this Word to the summit, we want to celebrate your Word, the scriptures, the holy Word that you gave to us, because through it you unveil to us the mysteries of heaven.

00:03:27.990 --> 00:03:37.211
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says that man shall not leave by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

00:03:37.211 --> 00:03:56.681
<v Speaker 2>And so this evening and across the globe, through the time zones, may the Word of God bring comfort, strength, encouragement and hope to those who hear it, because we have prayed in Jesus' name and God's people say amen, amen, amen.

00:03:56.681 --> 00:04:00.206
<v Speaker 2>We've been talking about empowered voice.

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:10.108
<v Speaker 2>Today I want to talk about the inspired voice of God's Word, and let me say this God speaks in different ways.

00:04:10.108 --> 00:04:14.628
<v Speaker 2>Let me just show you that scripture, hebrews, chapter 1.

00:04:14.628 --> 00:04:17.709
<v Speaker 2>God speaks in different ways.

00:04:17.709 --> 00:04:21.689
<v Speaker 2>So let me pick it and then I'll come to what I want to say today.

00:04:21.689 --> 00:04:38.882
<v Speaker 2>Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 says this In the past God spoke, and I want to just leave it at that point to tell you this that God speaks, amen.

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:41.766
<v Speaker 2>Forget the idols of the world.

00:04:41.766 --> 00:04:43.663
<v Speaker 2>They don't speak.

00:04:43.663 --> 00:04:49.824
<v Speaker 2>You cannot take a tree and make an idol and think it will speak to you.

00:04:49.824 --> 00:04:51.923
<v Speaker 2>It will not speak to you.

00:04:53.379 --> 00:05:02.401
<v Speaker 2>Our God, the one we serve, the one who is revealed to us in the scriptures, speaks, amen.

00:05:02.401 --> 00:05:35.949
<v Speaker 2>He speaks, but he speaks in very many ways, and so in this particular verse he says in the past, god spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom also he made the universe.

00:05:35.949 --> 00:05:45.848
<v Speaker 2>The son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

00:05:45.848 --> 00:05:53.689
<v Speaker 2>After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty in heaven.

00:05:53.689 --> 00:06:00.827
<v Speaker 2>God speaks, and he speaks through prophets.

00:06:00.827 --> 00:06:14.464
<v Speaker 2>Those days There was no Bible, so God used people, so he spoke through the prophets And that is where we have books like First Samuel, where he used prophets somewhere to speak.

00:06:14.464 --> 00:06:20.711
<v Speaker 2>We have in the first kings talking about Elijah.

00:06:20.711 --> 00:06:22.324
<v Speaker 2>They spoke for God.

00:06:22.324 --> 00:06:28.365
<v Speaker 2>Second Kings, elisha, they spoke for God, and so God used prophets.

00:06:28.365 --> 00:06:35.387
<v Speaker 2>He also used kings, king David, the Psalms that we read, a Psalms that David wrote, psalms 23,.

00:06:35.387 --> 00:06:37.004
<v Speaker 2>The Lord is my shepherd.

00:06:37.004 --> 00:06:40.704
<v Speaker 2>So he used kings, he used various means.

00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:50.389
<v Speaker 2>The important thing is this He spoke, he has a voice, and I want you to know that God speaks in many ways.

00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:55.189
<v Speaker 2>For example, the Bible says this in Psalms.

00:06:55.189 --> 00:06:57.684
<v Speaker 2>I believe it's chapter.

00:06:57.684 --> 00:07:00.824
<v Speaker 2>Let me read it Psalms, chapter 19,.

00:07:00.824 --> 00:07:01.827
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to 19.

00:07:01.827 --> 00:07:03.442
<v Speaker 2>Psalms 19,.

00:07:04.045 --> 00:07:08.608
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this Verse one, psalms 19.

00:07:08.608 --> 00:07:19.709
<v Speaker 2>He says this the heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:23.687
<v Speaker 2>Day after day, they pour forth speech.

00:07:23.687 --> 00:07:27.848
<v Speaker 2>Night after night, they reveal knowledge.

00:07:27.848 --> 00:07:35.187
<v Speaker 2>They have no speech, they use no words, no sound is heard from them.

00:07:35.187 --> 00:07:37.625
<v Speaker 2>Yet they are what.

00:07:37.625 --> 00:07:45.127
<v Speaker 2>Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:48.788
<v Speaker 2>In the heavens, god has pitched a tent for the sun.

00:07:48.788 --> 00:07:51.204
<v Speaker 2>It is like a bright room.

00:07:51.204 --> 00:08:00.547
<v Speaker 2>Come out of its chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run its course, it rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other.

00:08:00.547 --> 00:08:03.146
<v Speaker 2>Nothing is deprived of its warmth.

00:08:03.146 --> 00:08:05.184
<v Speaker 2>In other words, god also speaks.

00:08:05.184 --> 00:08:07.990
<v Speaker 2>through what Creation?

00:08:07.990 --> 00:08:12.963
<v Speaker 2>They don't have a voice.

00:08:12.963 --> 00:08:19.841
<v Speaker 2>The skies, the sun, the mountains, the rivers, the forests He speaks.

00:08:19.841 --> 00:08:24.788
<v Speaker 2>They have no voice, but when you look at them, it's just like God is talking to you.

00:08:24.788 --> 00:08:26.483
<v Speaker 2>So God speaks.

00:08:26.483 --> 00:08:35.306
<v Speaker 2>He has a voice, some of these voices sometimes you have to listen carefully and find out what is he saying.

00:08:35.306 --> 00:08:45.947
<v Speaker 2>But one particular place God has placed his voice and it is established in the heavens is the Word of God.

00:08:45.947 --> 00:08:50.245
<v Speaker 2>And let me tell you this This book, this Word of God.

00:08:50.245 --> 00:09:02.532
<v Speaker 2>You cannot, if you want to know how God speaks, just read this book, because in it God recorded his voice and it has not changed.

00:09:02.532 --> 00:09:04.763
<v Speaker 2>And God speaks.

00:09:04.763 --> 00:09:09.871
<v Speaker 2>That's why it says all scripture is what It's inspired.

00:09:09.871 --> 00:09:16.730
<v Speaker 2>God breathed, god released his voice into this book, into this Word.

00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:24.849
<v Speaker 2>Of course we are talking about the written Word, but earlier we just mentioned about the living Word.

00:09:24.849 --> 00:09:28.147
<v Speaker 2>Now the living Word is Jesus.

00:09:28.147 --> 00:09:36.650
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this in John, chapter 1, verse 1, talking about Jesus being the living Word.

00:09:36.650 --> 00:09:40.868
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk more about the written Word, but I want to talk about the living Word.

00:09:40.868 --> 00:09:45.289
<v Speaker 2>It says in the beginning what's the Word?

00:09:45.289 --> 00:09:50.549
<v Speaker 2>And the Word was with God and the Word was God.

00:09:50.549 --> 00:09:54.134
<v Speaker 2>He was with God in the beginning.

00:09:54.134 --> 00:09:57.504
<v Speaker 2>Keep going Through him.

00:09:58.466 --> 00:09:59.929
<v Speaker 2>A few things were made.

00:09:59.929 --> 00:10:08.365
<v Speaker 2>Now does that also mean the bench you're sitting on, hello?

00:10:08.365 --> 00:10:14.152
<v Speaker 2>So where did the bench come from?

00:10:14.152 --> 00:10:16.355
<v Speaker 2>From trees?

00:10:16.355 --> 00:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Who planted the first tree?

00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:22.089
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking who planted the first tree?

00:10:22.089 --> 00:10:24.754
<v Speaker 2>Now say it to Kofi.

00:10:24.754 --> 00:10:25.922
<v Speaker 2>Who planted the first tree?

00:10:25.922 --> 00:10:28.586
<v Speaker 2>Jesus?

00:10:28.586 --> 00:10:38.905
<v Speaker 2>So I just ask your neighbor if they ever attended Sunday school just talk to them and whether they skipped Sunday school.

00:10:38.905 --> 00:10:48.543
<v Speaker 2>So there was a tree in the garden of Eden.

00:10:48.543 --> 00:10:49.264
<v Speaker 2>Who planted it?

00:10:49.264 --> 00:10:53.657
<v Speaker 2>God planted So out of the trees.

00:10:53.657 --> 00:10:55.602
<v Speaker 2>We got these benches, we got chairs.

00:10:55.602 --> 00:10:58.129
<v Speaker 2>He put things in the ground.

00:10:58.129 --> 00:10:59.013
<v Speaker 2>We got it out.

00:10:59.013 --> 00:11:00.015
<v Speaker 2>We made all these things.

00:11:00.015 --> 00:11:05.552
<v Speaker 2>So in that verse, through him, all things were made.

00:11:05.552 --> 00:11:11.984
<v Speaker 2>Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

00:11:11.984 --> 00:11:22.212
<v Speaker 2>In other words, whether you believe in Jesus or not, you utilize the things he made, amen.

00:11:23.034 --> 00:11:24.945
<v Speaker 2>So you may say I don't believe in Jesus.

00:11:24.945 --> 00:11:26.972
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this Jesus is just for Christians.

00:11:26.972 --> 00:11:29.581
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you this Jesus is not for Christians.

00:11:29.581 --> 00:11:32.347
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is for every one of us.

00:11:32.347 --> 00:11:34.594
<v Speaker 2>He made all things.

00:11:34.594 --> 00:11:36.639
<v Speaker 2>He made all things.

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.730
<v Speaker 2>Let me show you another verse Colossians, chapter 1, verse 15.

00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:43.235
<v Speaker 2>You cannot escape this Jesus.

00:11:44.158 --> 00:11:45.461
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says He's the Word of God.

00:11:45.461 --> 00:11:55.062
<v Speaker 2>It says the Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

00:11:55.062 --> 00:12:00.642
<v Speaker 2>Now let me just say something about that verse, because some people tend to interpret the Bible in funny ways.

00:12:00.642 --> 00:12:06.953
<v Speaker 2>It says the Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

00:12:06.953 --> 00:12:13.931
<v Speaker 2>Now, when you read that verse just like that, it actually tells you that Jesus was created.

00:12:13.931 --> 00:12:22.054
<v Speaker 2>True, when you're just reading it like that, jesus was created.

00:12:22.054 --> 00:12:32.434
<v Speaker 2>If you're saying He's the firstborn over all creation, then you think that He was born first, then every other creation was created.

00:12:32.434 --> 00:12:34.682
<v Speaker 2>But that's not what that means.

00:12:34.682 --> 00:12:38.506
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is uncreated.

00:12:38.506 --> 00:12:45.794
<v Speaker 2>Hello, is uncreated.

00:12:45.794 --> 00:12:46.796
<v Speaker 2>There are some Bibles.

00:12:46.796 --> 00:12:52.214
<v Speaker 2>When you read them you find that Jesus is mentioned as a small God with a small G.

00:12:52.214 --> 00:12:59.650
<v Speaker 2>But limited to this, jesus is still the big G, not the chewing gum.

00:12:59.650 --> 00:13:02.336
<v Speaker 2>He's still the big G.

00:13:02.336 --> 00:13:04.561
<v Speaker 2>Some of you do not know big G.

00:13:04.561 --> 00:13:08.730
<v Speaker 2>Just ask your neighbor did you ever eat big G?

00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:13.581
<v Speaker 2>Just ask them Edith, did you ever chew this big G?

00:13:13.581 --> 00:13:17.147
<v Speaker 2>But that's not what I mean.

00:13:17.147 --> 00:13:21.014
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about the big G, i'm saying Jesus with a big G.

00:13:21.014 --> 00:13:22.182
<v Speaker 2>He's God.

00:13:22.182 --> 00:13:27.594
<v Speaker 2>And the Bible says the Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

00:13:27.594 --> 00:13:28.903
<v Speaker 2>Now look at the next verse.

00:13:28.903 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 2>It says for in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones or powers or rulers or authorities.

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:54.590
<v Speaker 2>All things have been created through Him and for Him.

00:13:54.590 --> 00:14:03.924
<v Speaker 2>He is before all things and in Him all things hold together.

00:14:03.924 --> 00:14:40.606
<v Speaker 2>Then the Bible goes on to say He is the head of the body, the church, He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have what The supremacy For God was pleased to have, all His fullness dwell in Him and through Him, to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood shed on the cross.

00:14:40.606 --> 00:14:43.754
<v Speaker 2>In other words, this Jesus is the Word.

00:14:43.815 --> 00:14:47.644
<v Speaker 2>Now go back to John, chapter 1, because I didn't finish that particular part.

00:14:47.644 --> 00:14:49.389
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is God's Word.

00:14:49.389 --> 00:14:58.974
<v Speaker 2>When God spoke, he released Jesus to be the entire embodiment of what He communicates.

00:14:58.974 --> 00:15:03.764
<v Speaker 2>So in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

00:15:03.764 --> 00:15:13.250
<v Speaker 2>And then it says He was in the beginning, he was with God in the beginning and through Him, all things were made.

00:15:13.250 --> 00:15:14.572
<v Speaker 2>Without Him, nothing was made.

00:15:14.572 --> 00:15:15.702
<v Speaker 2>That has been made.

00:15:15.964 --> 00:15:17.809
<v Speaker 2>Now go down to verse 14.

00:15:17.809 --> 00:15:21.841
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this about this Word He's the living Word.

00:15:21.841 --> 00:15:25.868
<v Speaker 2>Verse 14, john 1.14,.

00:15:25.868 --> 00:15:36.970
<v Speaker 2>It then says, in that particular verse and the Word became what Flesh and made His dwelling among us.

00:15:36.970 --> 00:15:46.672
<v Speaker 2>We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only son who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

00:15:46.672 --> 00:15:48.957
<v Speaker 2>John testified concerning Him.

00:15:48.957 --> 00:16:02.927
<v Speaker 2>He cried out saying this is the one I spoke about when I said He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me Out of His fullness.

00:16:02.927 --> 00:16:07.335
<v Speaker 2>We have all received grace in place of grace already given.

00:16:07.335 --> 00:16:11.528
<v Speaker 2>So Jesus is the living Word.

00:16:12.410 --> 00:16:17.302
<v Speaker 2>But this evening I want to talk about the written Word, this Word that has been written.

00:16:17.302 --> 00:16:27.490
<v Speaker 2>All Scripture is inspired by God, and so Paul is talking to Timothy and he said by the way, timothy, you started learning these Scriptures when you are still a baby.

00:16:27.490 --> 00:16:31.110
<v Speaker 2>You went to nursery school, went to Sunday school and this Scripture.

00:16:31.110 --> 00:16:36.690
<v Speaker 2>So go back to 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, so that I show you what these Scriptures did to him.

00:16:36.690 --> 00:16:40.640
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this that's where God's voice is.

00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:41.822
<v Speaker 2>Go.

00:16:41.822 --> 00:16:44.166
<v Speaker 2>2 Timothy 3, 14.

00:16:44.706 --> 00:16:46.490
<v Speaker 2>The verses we just read earlier.

00:16:46.490 --> 00:16:57.501
<v Speaker 2>It says but it's for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of because you know those from whom you learned it And how.

00:16:57.501 --> 00:17:07.384
<v Speaker 2>From infancy you have known what The holy Scriptures And what are they able to do, which are able to make you what Wise?

00:17:07.384 --> 00:17:08.467
<v Speaker 2>for what?

00:17:08.467 --> 00:17:13.315
<v Speaker 2>For salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

00:17:13.315 --> 00:17:17.487
<v Speaker 2>And that's when he says all Scripture is God breathed.

00:17:17.487 --> 00:17:25.289
<v Speaker 2>In some Bible he says it is inspired, useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

00:17:25.289 --> 00:17:32.369
<v Speaker 2>So why did God give this Word, the inspired voice of God's Word?

00:17:32.369 --> 00:17:41.353
<v Speaker 2>Why did he give it to us And what are the three things that God wants us to know about this voice that is in his Word?

00:17:41.353 --> 00:17:44.560
<v Speaker 2>So these are the three things I want to talk about.

00:17:44.560 --> 00:17:55.622
<v Speaker 2>Number one God's inspired voice, which is in his Word, was given to us to reveal the God who reigns.

00:17:55.622 --> 00:18:01.108
<v Speaker 2>Number two, to reveal the God who redeems.

00:18:01.108 --> 00:18:06.340
<v Speaker 2>And number three, to reveal the God who restores.

00:18:07.683 --> 00:18:11.031
<v Speaker 2>So this book is not really about science.

00:18:11.031 --> 00:18:13.317
<v Speaker 2>So tell your neighbor.

00:18:13.317 --> 00:18:14.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not about science.

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:31.807
<v Speaker 2>And that is why, jj, when you're trying to figure out why the earth was made in six days, according to science, the earth is as old as billions of years.

00:18:31.807 --> 00:18:33.829
<v Speaker 2>So what's the difference?

00:18:33.829 --> 00:18:39.007
<v Speaker 2>The Bible was not written to tell us about scientific issues.

00:18:39.007 --> 00:18:43.958
<v Speaker 2>Hararuya, look at your neighbor.

00:18:43.958 --> 00:18:45.019
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor amen.

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:48.907
<v Speaker 2>It's really not about science, god.

00:18:48.907 --> 00:18:51.192
<v Speaker 2>If God wanted to write a science book, would have written it.

00:18:51.192 --> 00:18:54.686
<v Speaker 2>By the way, god knows physics well.

00:18:54.686 --> 00:19:00.786
<v Speaker 2>You cannot survive on this earth without understanding, without knowing that physics rules this earth.

00:19:00.925 --> 00:19:08.249
<v Speaker 2>We were put in here, and physics, chemistry, biology is embedded in this earth.

00:19:08.249 --> 00:19:11.154
<v Speaker 2>And who put it together, god?

00:19:11.154 --> 00:19:19.787
<v Speaker 2>By the way, the word science means what I'm talking to.

00:19:19.787 --> 00:19:22.009
<v Speaker 2>All of you did arts in school.

00:19:22.009 --> 00:19:26.453
<v Speaker 2>I'm the only one who did science.

00:19:26.453 --> 00:19:30.443
<v Speaker 2>The word science, for example.

00:19:30.443 --> 00:19:33.851
<v Speaker 2>You know this word conscience, conscience.

00:19:33.851 --> 00:19:35.721
<v Speaker 2>We sometimes say it is conscience.

00:19:35.721 --> 00:19:46.471
<v Speaker 2>You know, if we're trying to learn English and so we read it, it's conscience, because that's how it is spelled conscience or conscience.

00:19:46.471 --> 00:19:49.097
<v Speaker 2>It has the word science.

00:19:49.097 --> 00:19:51.522
<v Speaker 2>The word science just means knowledge.

00:19:51.522 --> 00:19:58.076
<v Speaker 2>So tell your neighbor oh, that's what it means.

00:19:58.076 --> 00:20:06.603
<v Speaker 2>So it's knowledge of this earth and that's what science is all about knowledge of chemistry, physics, whatever, whatever, many things in science.

00:20:07.958 --> 00:20:13.909
<v Speaker 2>But when God put this and put his voice in here, it was not to reveal about the things of science or the things of art.

00:20:13.909 --> 00:20:15.957
<v Speaker 2>It was not about geography, joy.

00:20:15.957 --> 00:20:20.693
<v Speaker 2>It has, though it has mentioned issues of land and issues of like that.

00:20:20.693 --> 00:20:21.015
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no.

00:20:21.015 --> 00:20:22.217
<v Speaker 2>God is not so much there.

00:20:22.217 --> 00:20:31.478
<v Speaker 2>The Bible, the scriptures, were revealed, were given to us to reveal God a Simple as that.

00:20:31.478 --> 00:20:36.019
<v Speaker 2>So don't read any other book looking for God.

00:20:36.019 --> 00:20:41.345
<v Speaker 2>When, in the moment, you read the Bible, you have an encounter with God.

00:20:41.365 --> 00:20:50.298
<v Speaker 2>And I'm saying that because that's how I got saved just reading the scriptures, even though they were in a small book.

00:20:50.298 --> 00:20:55.878
<v Speaker 2>The moment I started just reading those verses, nobody was reading them for me.

00:20:55.878 --> 00:21:05.522
<v Speaker 2>I was just reading them and as I read them, god's convicting power Hit me and I began to hear God's voice.

00:21:05.522 --> 00:21:09.022
<v Speaker 2>It was like I was With God and myself.

00:21:09.022 --> 00:21:11.275
<v Speaker 2>Just see, so I really God talking to me.

00:21:11.275 --> 00:21:14.221
<v Speaker 2>And it was just amazing Why?

00:21:14.542 --> 00:21:19.619
<v Speaker 2>because all scripture is what Inspired, it's breathed out.

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:23.435
<v Speaker 2>God's breath is in his word, jesus.

00:21:23.435 --> 00:21:31.338
<v Speaker 2>When the devil was harassing him through the temptation, he turned to the devil and said man shall not leave By bread alone.

00:21:31.338 --> 00:21:32.422
<v Speaker 2>And he just told the devil.

00:21:32.422 --> 00:21:33.085
<v Speaker 2>It is written.

00:21:33.085 --> 00:21:51.917
<v Speaker 2>This is no argument, it is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, because it is God's Word, this book, this inspired voice that has been given to us to reveal God.

00:21:51.917 --> 00:21:58.609
<v Speaker 2>No wonder Paul prayed so much that we would know this, we would know this God.

00:21:58.609 --> 00:22:12.237
<v Speaker 2>God would be revealed to us, and I pray that in Jesus name, even as we finish this month I'm going to the next one that at the end of the day, we are just giving you the revelations that have come from God's Word.

00:22:12.517 --> 00:22:14.442
<v Speaker 2>From January, we talked about vision.

00:22:14.442 --> 00:22:15.464
<v Speaker 2>It's God's word.

00:22:15.464 --> 00:22:21.457
<v Speaker 2>Abraham, isaac, jacob, sarah, we.

00:22:21.457 --> 00:22:29.261
<v Speaker 2>We just talking about God's revealed word and I want to tell you this Number one as I start.

00:22:29.261 --> 00:22:31.974
<v Speaker 2>It is to reveal the God who reigns.

00:22:31.974 --> 00:22:35.346
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor, God reigns.

00:22:35.346 --> 00:22:41.035
<v Speaker 2>You know, because there are voices around us that tell us, actually, god doesn't rain.

00:22:41.035 --> 00:22:45.594
<v Speaker 2>There are so many challenging things around us that sometimes we feel, by the way, god doesn't rain.

00:22:45.594 --> 00:22:48.643
<v Speaker 2>God, i think, as I do near now, i watch earlier.

00:22:48.643 --> 00:22:49.605
<v Speaker 2>Now, cut watcher.

00:22:49.605 --> 00:22:52.500
<v Speaker 2>God reigns.

00:22:54.109 --> 00:23:01.529
<v Speaker 2>Let me read these verses Sam's 24, verse 7 to 10.

00:23:01.529 --> 00:23:06.221
<v Speaker 2>And, by the way, when we talk about God who reigns, it's revealing to us that God is our king.

00:23:06.221 --> 00:23:08.067
<v Speaker 2>He is our king.

00:23:08.067 --> 00:23:13.007
<v Speaker 2>It says this in the Psalms lift up your heads, you gates.

00:23:13.007 --> 00:23:20.585
<v Speaker 2>Be lifted up you ancient doors That the king of glory may come in.

00:23:20.585 --> 00:23:23.442
<v Speaker 2>Who is this king of glory?

00:23:23.442 --> 00:23:31.009
<v Speaker 2>The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

00:23:31.009 --> 00:23:39.826
<v Speaker 2>Lift up your heads, you gates, lift them up you ancient doors, that the king of glory may come in.

00:23:39.826 --> 00:23:43.863
<v Speaker 2>Who is he, this king of glory?

00:23:43.863 --> 00:23:51.018
<v Speaker 2>the Lord almighty, He is the king of glory, amen.

00:23:51.018 --> 00:24:01.867
<v Speaker 2>So this book, these scriptures, basically are to reveal God and especially the God who reigns.

00:24:01.867 --> 00:24:04.760
<v Speaker 2>He's the king of kings and the Lord of Lords.

00:24:05.603 --> 00:24:06.806
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah 44, verse 6.

00:24:06.806 --> 00:24:11.563
<v Speaker 2>Let me just read that Isaiah 44, verse 6.

00:24:11.563 --> 00:24:16.262
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this This is what the Lord says.

00:24:16.262 --> 00:24:19.938
<v Speaker 2>Israel's what Israel's.

00:24:19.938 --> 00:24:27.546
<v Speaker 2>King and redeemer, the Lord almighty, i am the first and I am the last.

00:24:27.546 --> 00:24:30.384
<v Speaker 2>Apart from me, there is no God.

00:24:30.384 --> 00:24:32.823
<v Speaker 2>So God is saying I'm king.

00:24:35.375 --> 00:24:39.538
<v Speaker 2>Another verse in first Timothy, chapter 1, verse 17.

00:24:39.538 --> 00:24:42.384
<v Speaker 2>It says this about this king We are talking about.

00:24:42.384 --> 00:24:58.884
<v Speaker 2>It says now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.

00:24:58.884 --> 00:25:00.037
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

00:25:00.037 --> 00:25:06.046
<v Speaker 2>This God we are talking about is king and he's an eternal king.

00:25:06.046 --> 00:25:12.660
<v Speaker 2>So He doesn't have Particular terms in office.

00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:16.218
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, jesus, amen.

00:25:16.218 --> 00:25:23.498
<v Speaker 2>There are no four year terms, there are no three year terms, my friend.

00:25:23.498 --> 00:25:28.777
<v Speaker 2>He's in office forever, hallelujah.

00:25:28.777 --> 00:25:40.046
<v Speaker 2>And if you don't want him to be king in your life today, for sure He will still be king in your life after you're dead.

00:25:40.046 --> 00:25:44.538
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, jesus, He doesn't change office.

00:25:45.441 --> 00:25:52.807
<v Speaker 2>You know one thing the devil knows that The Lord is king and there's nothing he can do about it.

00:25:52.807 --> 00:25:53.789
<v Speaker 2>He knows it.

00:25:53.789 --> 00:26:05.464
<v Speaker 2>The only thing he needs to stress He doesn't stress the king, he just stresses the children of the king and Confuses them not to believe that this God is a king.

00:26:05.464 --> 00:26:07.529
<v Speaker 2>Why am I emphasizing that?

00:26:07.529 --> 00:26:12.882
<v Speaker 2>to let you know that your father is In charge of the universe.

00:26:12.882 --> 00:26:16.364
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying your father is in charge of the universe.

00:26:16.364 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 2>You're a kingdom kid.

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.006
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor You're looking at a kingdom kid.

00:26:21.006 --> 00:26:25.743
<v Speaker 2>If they are not convinced, just repeat it to them.

00:26:25.743 --> 00:26:31.285
<v Speaker 2>You're looking at a kingdom kid, you're a kingdom child.

00:26:31.285 --> 00:26:35.565
<v Speaker 2>You're a kingdom child and you're a prince.

00:26:35.565 --> 00:26:37.400
<v Speaker 2>You're a princess.

00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.818
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying you're a prince, you're a princess.

00:26:41.818 --> 00:26:50.479
<v Speaker 2>So carry yourself as a child of the king To the king, eternal, immortal, invisible.

00:26:51.422 --> 00:26:56.961
<v Speaker 2>And you know, through the centuries there, people who have been called king of kings.

00:26:56.961 --> 00:26:59.567
<v Speaker 2>You want to give me an example?

00:26:59.567 --> 00:27:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the guy called God I.

00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:14.163
<v Speaker 2>He called himself King of kings and I remember that time when, when he said it, the moment he said that he's the king of kings, i knew his days were numbered.

00:27:14.163 --> 00:27:18.717
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you His days were numbered.

00:27:18.717 --> 00:27:32.941
<v Speaker 2>There's nobody who can come on this planet and and suddenly start saying he's the king of kings and he won't survive Because he's defying the real king of Kings, because it's only one.

00:27:34.136 --> 00:27:39.326
<v Speaker 2>The other person Who was, who was called king of kings in the Bible, you know who?

00:27:39.326 --> 00:27:43.099
<v Speaker 2>that is Nebuchadnezzar.

00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:45.039
<v Speaker 2>He was called king of kings.

00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:46.884
<v Speaker 2>In fact, daniel refer to him.

00:27:46.884 --> 00:27:49.204
<v Speaker 2>Oh, king of kings, live forever.

00:27:49.204 --> 00:27:50.855
<v Speaker 2>So they were referring to him.

00:27:50.855 --> 00:28:07.608
<v Speaker 2>But one day when, when Nebuchadnezzar thought he was really smart, hallelujah, god told him and showed him that he's really not king, because the kingship that he has has been delegated to him by God himself.

00:28:07.608 --> 00:28:11.984
<v Speaker 2>Let me just give you a little picture of that king.

00:28:12.776 --> 00:28:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Daniel, chapter 4.

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:15.441
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this.

00:28:15.441 --> 00:28:19.469
<v Speaker 2>Daniel, chapter 4, just to give you a glimpse of this gentleman.

00:28:19.469 --> 00:28:31.825
<v Speaker 2>Daniel chapter 4, it says King Nebuchadnezzar, to the nations and peoples of every language.

00:28:31.825 --> 00:28:34.762
<v Speaker 2>Now, who do you think is writing that letter?

00:28:34.762 --> 00:28:41.118
<v Speaker 2>See, that's how it is written.

00:28:41.118 --> 00:28:49.526
<v Speaker 2>King Nebuchadnezzar, comma, to the nations and peoples of every language Who live in all the earth, may you prosper greatly.

00:28:49.526 --> 00:28:51.781
<v Speaker 2>Who do you think is writing that letter?

00:28:51.781 --> 00:28:56.025
<v Speaker 2>Huh, who is writing that particular potion?

00:28:56.025 --> 00:28:57.961
<v Speaker 2>It's in the book of Daniel.

00:28:57.961 --> 00:28:59.786
<v Speaker 2>But who is writing that script?

00:28:59.786 --> 00:29:10.265
<v Speaker 2>Now, ask your neighbor one more time if they went to Nasir school at, i mean, sunday school.

00:29:10.265 --> 00:29:11.228
<v Speaker 2>I just asked them.

00:29:16.215 --> 00:29:20.345
<v Speaker 2>But the book of Daniel is interesting because the book of Daniel is written in two languages.

00:29:20.345 --> 00:29:28.877
<v Speaker 2>It was written in Hebrew And it was also written in Aramaic part of it Because it was being.

00:29:28.877 --> 00:29:30.825
<v Speaker 2>It was in Babylon, in Pasha.

00:29:30.825 --> 00:29:35.204
<v Speaker 2>So let me read a bit of it and then you, i will ask that question again.

00:29:35.204 --> 00:29:44.249
<v Speaker 2>So Verse 2 it is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the most high God has performed for me.

<v Speaker 2>So we are going.

<v Speaker 2>How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders?

00:29:51.144 --> 00:29:54.169
<v Speaker 2>His kingdom is an eternal kingdom.

00:29:54.169 --> 00:29:57.684
<v Speaker 2>His dominion endures from generation to generation.

00:29:59.577 --> 00:30:08.241
<v Speaker 2>I, comma, nebuchadnezzar comma, was at home in my palace, contented and prosperous.

00:30:08.241 --> 00:30:13.825
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask again, starting with verse one.

00:30:13.825 --> 00:30:15.115
<v Speaker 2>So let's go back to verse one.

00:30:15.115 --> 00:30:17.396
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's what one say.

00:30:17.396 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 2>But go back to us, one king, nebuchadnezzar comma, to the nations and peoples of every language Who live in all the earth.

00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:29.344
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you now Who was writing that script.

00:30:29.344 --> 00:30:35.660
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, so he's writing that it.

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:36.743
<v Speaker 2>Daniel just recorded it.

00:30:36.743 --> 00:30:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so go now he's writing.

00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:41.724
<v Speaker 2>He's giving a story, all right.

00:30:41.724 --> 00:30:42.807
<v Speaker 2>Now We're in verse four.

00:30:42.807 --> 00:30:44.623
<v Speaker 2>I never got.

00:30:44.663 --> 00:30:47.494
<v Speaker 2>Nezzar was at home in my palace, contented and prosperous.

00:30:47.494 --> 00:30:52.304
<v Speaker 2>I had a dream that may be afraid, as I was lying in bed.

00:30:52.304 --> 00:31:01.407
<v Speaker 2>The images and visions that passed through my mind terrified me, so I commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before me to interpret the dream for me.

00:31:01.407 --> 00:31:08.808
<v Speaker 2>When the magicians and chanters, astrologers and diviners came, i told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.

00:31:08.808 --> 00:31:13.325
<v Speaker 2>Finally, daniel came into my presence and I told him the dream.

00:31:13.325 --> 00:31:20.988
<v Speaker 2>He is called better Shaza, after the name of my God, and The spirit of the holy gods is in him.

00:31:20.988 --> 00:31:29.207
<v Speaker 2>I Said better Shaza, chief of the magicians, i know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery is too difficult for you.

00:31:29.207 --> 00:31:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Here is my dream.

00:31:30.439 --> 00:31:31.482
<v Speaker 2>Interpret it for me.

00:31:31.482 --> 00:31:34.422
<v Speaker 2>These are the visions I saw while lying in bed.

00:31:34.742 --> 00:31:39.260
<v Speaker 2>I looked and there before me stood a tree in The middle of the land.

00:31:39.260 --> 00:31:40.605
<v Speaker 2>Its height was enormous.

00:31:40.605 --> 00:31:45.463
<v Speaker 2>That tree grew large and strong and it stopped touch the sky.

00:31:45.463 --> 00:31:47.647
<v Speaker 2>It was visible to the ends of the earth.

00:31:47.647 --> 00:31:52.727
<v Speaker 2>Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit abundant, and on it was food for all.

00:31:52.727 --> 00:31:57.163
<v Speaker 2>Under it the wild animals found shelter and the birds lived in its branches.

00:31:57.163 --> 00:31:59.209
<v Speaker 2>From it every creature was fed.

00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:06.767
<v Speaker 2>In the visions I saw while lying in the bed, i looked and there before me was a holy one, a messenger, coming down from heaven.

00:32:06.767 --> 00:32:15.901
<v Speaker 2>He called in a loud voice cut down the tree and trim it from its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit.

00:32:15.901 --> 00:32:27.328
<v Speaker 2>Let the animals flee from under it and the birds from its branches, but let the stump and its roots, bound with iron and bronze, remain in the ground, in the grass of the field.

00:32:27.328 --> 00:32:34.406
<v Speaker 2>Let him be drenched with a dew of heaven and Let him live with the animals among the plants of the earth.

00:32:34.406 --> 00:32:37.564
<v Speaker 2>Let his mind be changed from that of a man.

00:32:37.564 --> 00:32:40.363
<v Speaker 2>Let him be given the mind of an animal.

00:32:40.363 --> 00:32:44.318
<v Speaker 2>Till seven times pass by for him.

00:32:44.318 --> 00:32:47.769
<v Speaker 2>The decision is announced by messengers.

00:32:47.769 --> 00:32:59.512
<v Speaker 2>The holy ones declare the verdict so that the living may know that the most high is sovereign over all kingdoms on the earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people.

00:33:00.560 --> 00:33:02.925
<v Speaker 2>This is the dream that I, king Nebuchadnezzar, had.

00:33:02.925 --> 00:33:13.814
<v Speaker 2>Now B'l Tashaza, tell me what it means, for none of the wise men in my kingdom can interpret it for me, but you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

00:33:13.814 --> 00:33:23.803
<v Speaker 2>Then Daniel, also called B'l Tashaza, was greatly perplexed for a time, and his thoughts terrified him, because he knew the answer Hello.

00:33:23.803 --> 00:33:28.951
<v Speaker 2>So the king said B'l Tashaza, do not let the dream or its meaning alarm you.

00:33:28.951 --> 00:33:37.771
<v Speaker 2>B'l Tashaza answered my lord, if only the dream applied to your enemies and its meaning to your adversaries.

00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:56.368
<v Speaker 2>The tree you saw, which grew, large and strong, with its top touching the sky, visible to the whole earth, with beautiful leaves and abandoned fruit, providing food for all, giving shelter to the wild animals and having nesting places in its branches for the birds.

00:33:56.368 --> 00:34:01.315
<v Speaker 2>Your majesty, you are the tree.

00:34:01.315 --> 00:34:04.864
<v Speaker 2>You have become great and strong.

00:34:04.864 --> 00:34:11.132
<v Speaker 2>Your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth.

00:34:11.132 --> 00:34:25.244
<v Speaker 2>Your majesty, so a holy one, a messenger coming down from heaven and saying cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump, bound with the iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots remain in the ground.

00:34:25.244 --> 00:34:27.166
<v Speaker 2>Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven.

00:34:27.166 --> 00:34:31.693
<v Speaker 2>Let him live with the wild animals until seven times pass by for him.

00:34:31.693 --> 00:34:37.731
<v Speaker 2>This is the interpretation, your majesty, you can imagine standing there trying to give that interpretation.

00:34:37.731 --> 00:34:39.550
<v Speaker 2>You know that you'll be killed.

00:34:39.550 --> 00:34:44.869
<v Speaker 2>This is the interpretation, your majesty, and this is the decree the most high has issued against my lord, the king.

00:34:44.869 --> 00:34:50.429
<v Speaker 2>You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals.

00:34:50.429 --> 00:34:56.000
<v Speaker 2>You will eat grass like the ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven.

00:34:56.000 --> 00:35:09.695
<v Speaker 2>Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the most high is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.

00:35:09.695 --> 00:35:19.193
<v Speaker 2>The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that heaven rules.

00:35:19.193 --> 00:35:24.409
<v Speaker 2>Therefore, your majesty, be pleased to accept my advice.

00:35:24.409 --> 00:35:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Renounce your sins by doing what is right and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed.

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:33.690
<v Speaker 2>It may be that then your prosperity will continue.

00:35:35.943 --> 00:35:39.608
<v Speaker 2>All this happened to Kingdom Karniza 12 months later.

00:35:39.608 --> 00:35:42.391
<v Speaker 2>Akuskiya 12 months later.

00:35:42.391 --> 00:35:58.000
<v Speaker 2>As the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, he said is not this great Babylon I have built as the royal residence by my mighty power, for the glory of my majesty.

00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:03.628
<v Speaker 2>Even as the words were on his lips, our voice came from heaven.

00:36:03.628 --> 00:36:06.914
<v Speaker 2>This is what is decreed for you, king Karniza.

00:36:06.914 --> 00:36:09.266
<v Speaker 2>Your royal authority has been taken from you.

00:36:09.266 --> 00:36:13.019
<v Speaker 2>You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals.

00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:25.193
<v Speaker 2>You will eat grass like the ox Seven times, or seven years will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the most high is sovereign over all kingdoms on the earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.

00:36:25.534 --> 00:36:30.927
<v Speaker 2>Immediately, what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled.

00:36:30.927 --> 00:36:33.952
<v Speaker 2>He was driven away from the people and ate grass.

00:36:33.952 --> 00:36:34.673
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine?

00:36:34.673 --> 00:36:37.443
<v Speaker 2>He ate grass like an ox?

00:36:37.443 --> 00:36:45.956
<v Speaker 2>His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

00:36:45.956 --> 00:36:51.585
<v Speaker 2>At the end of that time, i, nebuchadnezzar, remember he is giving a testimony.

00:36:51.585 --> 00:37:01.996
<v Speaker 2>I, nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my sanity was restored.

00:37:01.996 --> 00:37:04.706
<v Speaker 2>Then I praised the most high.

00:37:04.706 --> 00:37:07.932
<v Speaker 2>I honored and glorified him, who lives forever.

00:37:07.932 --> 00:37:11.019
<v Speaker 2>His dominion is an eternal dominion.

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:14.045
<v Speaker 2>His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

00:37:14.045 --> 00:37:17.853
<v Speaker 2>All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing.

00:37:17.853 --> 00:37:23.969
<v Speaker 2>He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth.

00:37:23.969 --> 00:37:27.894
<v Speaker 2>No one can hold back his hand or say to him what have you done?

00:37:27.894 --> 00:37:49.677
<v Speaker 2>At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me, for the glory of my kingdom, my advisors and nobles sought me out and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before.

00:37:49.677 --> 00:38:09.851
<v Speaker 2>Now I, nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the king of heaven because everything he does is right and all his ways are just, and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:15.344
<v Speaker 2>The entire chapter four of Daniel was written by who?

00:38:15.344 --> 00:38:25.815
<v Speaker 2>King Nebuchadnezzar, just to acknowledge this fact that there is no other king but the king of kings and the Lord of Lords.

00:38:25.815 --> 00:38:42.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why I'm saying this Whether they are the kings of China or the kings of Arabia or the kings of Europe, every knee, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:55.019
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you this This book reveals to us, from the greatest king who ever lived, king Nebuchadnezzar, that there is another king and it is the king of kings, the Lord, god Almighty.

00:38:55.019 --> 00:39:02.092
<v Speaker 2>And that's why this book just tells us hey, you better submit to this king.

00:39:02.092 --> 00:39:03.974
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

00:39:05.543 --> 00:39:08.369
<v Speaker 2>Now I've read your whole story, because sometimes you don't read the Bibles.

00:39:08.369 --> 00:39:09.532
<v Speaker 2>Let me encourage you.

00:39:09.532 --> 00:39:16.735
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes, for me, if you want to read the Bible and sit, come alive, read it aloud.

00:39:16.735 --> 00:39:19.019
<v Speaker 2>Don't read it in your mind.

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:38.503
<v Speaker 2>Don't read it because usually happens when you're reading it with your mind and you're reading pretty soon you begin to agree with everything in it And you knock out reading the Bible.

00:39:38.503 --> 00:39:44.432
<v Speaker 2>Because, let me tell you this, i don't know if you've ever experienced this When you're doing everything else, you're alive.

00:39:44.432 --> 00:39:54.434
<v Speaker 2>The moment you open the Bible, where sleepiness comes from, you have no idea.

00:39:54.434 --> 00:39:59.664
<v Speaker 2>You just become drowsy because, let me tell you this, the devil does not want you to read the Bible.

00:39:59.664 --> 00:40:07.355
<v Speaker 2>And so read the Bible when you're standing, when you're walking, and then read it aloud so that you don't sleep.

00:40:07.355 --> 00:40:13.652
<v Speaker 2>Look at your neighbor until your neighbor try that tomorrow, amen.

00:40:13.652 --> 00:40:16.603
<v Speaker 2>So let me finish what my message.

00:40:17.545 --> 00:40:26.641
<v Speaker 2>Number one this book was written to reveal that God is what, that God reigns, he is king, but very quickly.

00:40:26.641 --> 00:40:34.231
<v Speaker 2>Number two it was written to reveal to us that God, the God who redeems.

00:40:34.231 --> 00:40:37.835
<v Speaker 2>Let me read Psalms 107, verse 1 and 3.

00:40:37.835 --> 00:40:39.782
<v Speaker 2>So here we'll just spend a short time.

00:40:39.782 --> 00:40:43.248
<v Speaker 2>The God who redeems, psalms 107.

00:40:43.248 --> 00:40:51.003
<v Speaker 2>It says this give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, his love and He was forever.

00:40:51.003 --> 00:40:56.550
<v Speaker 2>Then it says let the redeemed of the Lord say so Here.

00:40:56.550 --> 00:41:07.753
<v Speaker 2>It says tell their story Those He redeemed from the hand of the four, those He gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.

00:41:07.753 --> 00:41:16.572
<v Speaker 2>And if you get to read the rest of that psalm, it just talks about how God redeemed His people from all kinds of situations and circumstances.

00:41:18.481 --> 00:41:19.623
<v Speaker 2>Job, you remember Job?

00:41:19.623 --> 00:41:23.632
<v Speaker 2>Job really went through a hard time And you know, remember the history.

00:41:23.632 --> 00:41:34.393
<v Speaker 2>By the way, some people say when Job suffered, you know, when you read the book of Job, you think he suffered for years and years and years.

00:41:34.393 --> 00:41:38.184
<v Speaker 2>Job actually suffered for nine months.

00:41:38.184 --> 00:41:50.568
<v Speaker 2>Hello, so those conversations that were happening in the book of Job, it was actually for nine months.

00:41:50.568 --> 00:41:54.213
<v Speaker 2>We're going through that difficult, difficult time.

00:41:54.213 --> 00:42:00.007
<v Speaker 2>But if it was you who was Job in that situation, it would seem like what?

00:42:00.007 --> 00:42:02.413
<v Speaker 2>Many years.

00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:07.686
<v Speaker 2>But listen to what Job says in Job 19, verse 25.

00:42:07.686 --> 00:42:16.425
<v Speaker 2>While you was going through this very challenging time, it says this Job 19, 25.

00:42:16.425 --> 00:42:24.643
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this I know now this is Job speaking.

00:42:24.643 --> 00:42:35.536
<v Speaker 2>He says I know that my redeemer lives and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

00:42:35.536 --> 00:42:39.606
<v Speaker 2>In other words, he says, hey, i'm going through a rough time, but guess what?

00:42:39.606 --> 00:42:42.771
<v Speaker 2>My redeemer lives.

00:42:42.771 --> 00:42:46.181
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking to somebody right here And some of you may be online.

00:42:46.181 --> 00:42:55.242
<v Speaker 2>You're going through the roughest time in your life, But I want to tell you this Your redeemer lives, your redeemer lives.

00:42:56.664 --> 00:43:08.329
<v Speaker 2>That word redeemed, to redeem something means what To get back, what's another one To buy.

00:43:08.329 --> 00:43:13.735
<v Speaker 2>Now that's the word To buy back, to redeem, to buy.

00:43:13.735 --> 00:43:16.545
<v Speaker 2>In other words, god is not just going to save you.

00:43:16.545 --> 00:43:24.224
<v Speaker 2>Everything that has been stolen and eaten from you, he will buy it back for you, he'll purchase it for you.

00:43:24.224 --> 00:43:27.793
<v Speaker 2>Hallelujah, he's a redeemer.

00:43:28.822 --> 00:43:31.411
<v Speaker 2>Now I wonder that the Psalmist says this in Psalms 103.

00:43:31.411 --> 00:43:32.936
<v Speaker 2>Listen to the things he talks about.

00:43:32.936 --> 00:43:34.019
<v Speaker 2>That has been redeemed.

00:43:34.019 --> 00:43:37.527
<v Speaker 2>Let me read that quickly, psalms 103, verse one.

00:43:37.527 --> 00:43:38.748
<v Speaker 2>We are going to read to verse five.

00:43:38.748 --> 00:43:45.905
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says this Very quickly praise the Lord, my soul, all my inmost being.

00:43:45.905 --> 00:43:52.094
<v Speaker 2>Praise His holy name, praise the Lord all my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

00:43:52.094 --> 00:43:54.402
<v Speaker 2>This is what he says.

00:43:55.023 --> 00:43:58.150
<v Speaker 2>Who forgives A few of my sins?

00:43:58.150 --> 00:44:02.304
<v Speaker 2>Now let me ask you why do sometimes the Christians?

00:44:02.304 --> 00:44:07.550
<v Speaker 2>they struggle with forgetting some sins.

00:44:07.550 --> 00:44:12.215
<v Speaker 2>You are forgiven, but you keep reminding God about them.

00:44:12.215 --> 00:44:18.730
<v Speaker 2>Oh Jehovah, god, you remember As I come before you, jehovah, god do not remember.

00:44:18.730 --> 00:44:28.056
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you this If God forgave you, he doesn't remember.

00:44:28.056 --> 00:44:35.132
<v Speaker 2>People remember even the two shillings.

00:44:35.132 --> 00:44:36.715
<v Speaker 2>They, all you, they remember.

00:44:36.715 --> 00:44:42.976
<v Speaker 2>But this God forgives all your sins, all of them, all of them.

00:44:42.976 --> 00:44:44.181
<v Speaker 2>That's what redemption is all about.

00:44:44.181 --> 00:44:49.483
<v Speaker 2>Next time you come to God and say, by the way, god, you remember the sin I confessed last week, god says which one?

00:44:49.483 --> 00:44:51.505
<v Speaker 2>that one?

00:44:51.505 --> 00:44:53.768
<v Speaker 2>God says I don't remember.

00:44:53.768 --> 00:44:59.643
<v Speaker 2>So don't struggle with those sins.

00:45:00.487 --> 00:45:05.744
<v Speaker 2>Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases?

00:45:05.744 --> 00:45:06.465
<v Speaker 2>look at verse 4.

00:45:06.465 --> 00:45:15.009
<v Speaker 2>Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.

00:45:15.009 --> 00:45:18.300
<v Speaker 2>Who satisfies your desires with good things.

00:45:18.300 --> 00:45:26.601
<v Speaker 2>May you receive good things, good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.

00:45:26.601 --> 00:45:29.833
<v Speaker 2>Look at the next verse very quickly.

00:45:30.175 --> 00:45:33.344
<v Speaker 2>The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

00:45:33.344 --> 00:45:35.971
<v Speaker 2>He made known his ways to Moses.

00:45:35.971 --> 00:45:45.592
<v Speaker 2>Is this to the people of Israel the Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, a bounding in what in love.

00:45:45.592 --> 00:45:49.663
<v Speaker 2>He will not always accuse, nor will he have his anger forever.

00:45:49.663 --> 00:45:56.445
<v Speaker 2>He does not treat us according as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

00:45:56.445 --> 00:46:01.967
<v Speaker 2>For as high as the heavens are, above they are, so great is his love for those who fear him.

00:46:01.967 --> 00:46:10.233
<v Speaker 2>As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

00:46:10.233 --> 00:46:18.557
<v Speaker 2>As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him, for he knows how we are formed.

00:46:18.557 --> 00:46:20.505
<v Speaker 2>He remembers that we are dust.

00:46:20.505 --> 00:46:23.659
<v Speaker 2>The life of motors is like grass.

00:46:23.659 --> 00:46:27.813
<v Speaker 2>They flourish like a flower of the field, and so on and so forth.

00:46:28.094 --> 00:46:31.105
<v Speaker 2>So God has redeemed you and this Bible.

00:46:31.105 --> 00:46:40.492
<v Speaker 2>Through this, the entire story from Genesis, when Adam sinned up to Revelation, he just tells you that God redeems.

00:46:40.492 --> 00:46:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Look at your neighbor one more time.

00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:50.311
<v Speaker 2>Until your neighbor, my redeemer, lives, amen.

00:46:50.311 --> 00:46:53.985
<v Speaker 2>So when you're reading the Bible, look for that redemption.

00:46:53.985 --> 00:46:55.411
<v Speaker 2>It is in these pages.

00:46:55.411 --> 00:46:59.728
<v Speaker 2>God has bought you back by the blood of Jesus.

00:46:59.768 --> 00:47:05.407
<v Speaker 2>But finally, i wanted to get to this other third point, that the Bible reveals the God who restores.

00:47:05.407 --> 00:47:09.782
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor, god restores the one.

00:47:09.782 --> 00:47:14.335
<v Speaker 2>When God reigns his king, when God redeems, he is Savior.

00:47:14.335 --> 00:47:18.163
<v Speaker 2>When God restores, he is Lord.

00:47:18.163 --> 00:47:32.822
<v Speaker 2>Let me read this interesting story and then we'll we'll cap it up in a prayer second Kings, chapter 6, verse 1 to 7 tell your neighbor, god restores even those things you borrow.

00:47:32.822 --> 00:47:35.608
<v Speaker 2>So let's say it.

00:47:35.608 --> 00:47:43.005
<v Speaker 2>Say it God restores even those things you borrow, hallelujah.

00:47:43.005 --> 00:47:45.971
<v Speaker 2>Now the story I'm about to read is about that.

00:47:45.971 --> 00:47:56.965
<v Speaker 2>So the Bible says this the company of the prophets said to Elisha look, the place where we were, where we meet with you, is too small.

00:47:57.588 --> 00:47:58.710
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it was.

00:47:58.710 --> 00:48:02.606
<v Speaker 2>They entered into an expansion project, hallelujah.

00:48:02.606 --> 00:48:04.550
<v Speaker 2>the ministry was doing well.

00:48:04.550 --> 00:48:06.041
<v Speaker 2>They decided to expand.

00:48:06.041 --> 00:48:13.704
<v Speaker 2>Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole, and let us build a place there for us to meet.

00:48:13.704 --> 00:48:15.927
<v Speaker 2>And he said go.

00:48:15.927 --> 00:48:20.942
<v Speaker 2>Then one of them okay, give me that verse, verse 3.

00:48:20.942 --> 00:48:24.291
<v Speaker 2>Then one of them remember these are prophets.

00:48:24.291 --> 00:48:25.342
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor they are prophets.

00:48:25.342 --> 00:48:27.954
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor they are servants of God.

00:48:27.954 --> 00:48:32.190
<v Speaker 2>Then one of them said won't you please come with your servants?

00:48:32.190 --> 00:48:33.596
<v Speaker 2>I will.

00:48:33.596 --> 00:48:36.326
<v Speaker 2>Elisha replied and he went with them.

00:48:36.666 --> 00:48:39.275
<v Speaker 2>They went to the Jordan and began to cut down trees.

00:48:39.275 --> 00:48:46.394
<v Speaker 2>As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe had fell into the water.

00:48:46.394 --> 00:48:49.061
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, my lord.

00:48:49.061 --> 00:48:50.465
<v Speaker 2>He cried out.

00:48:50.465 --> 00:48:59.090
<v Speaker 2>It was what I'm in a job now it will be.

00:48:59.090 --> 00:49:01.134
<v Speaker 2>Borrow hello.

00:49:01.134 --> 00:49:04.500
<v Speaker 2>And he cried out it was borrowed.

00:49:05.242 --> 00:49:05.684
<v Speaker 2>Verse 6.

00:49:05.684 --> 00:49:08.612
<v Speaker 2>The man of God asked where did it fall?

00:49:08.612 --> 00:49:12.724
<v Speaker 2>when he showed him the place, elisha cut a stick.

00:49:12.724 --> 00:49:15.574
<v Speaker 2>Now they were remember they were cutting poles.

00:49:15.574 --> 00:49:20.670
<v Speaker 2>Elijah cut a stick where it if all.

00:49:20.670 --> 00:49:21.472
<v Speaker 2>He showed him the place.

00:49:21.472 --> 00:49:28.788
<v Speaker 2>Elisha cut a stick and threw it there and made the iron float.

00:49:28.788 --> 00:49:48.331
<v Speaker 2>Now let me ask you according to physics, is that possible between a stick which is made of wood and iron, which one sinks the iron, but then he throws a stick and it causes the iron to float?

00:49:48.331 --> 00:49:56.429
<v Speaker 2>now listen to Elisha, verse 7 lift it out, he said.

00:49:56.429 --> 00:49:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, by the way, sometimes God wants to cooperate with us.

00:49:59.960 --> 00:50:04.130
<v Speaker 2>The iron which had sunk was brought up miraculously.

00:50:04.130 --> 00:50:07.286
<v Speaker 2>But to pick the iron from the water, who needed to pick it?

00:50:07.286 --> 00:50:10.172
<v Speaker 2>the seven needed to pick it.

00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:15.550
<v Speaker 2>There are some things God does and there are some things you need to do.

00:50:15.550 --> 00:50:18.222
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbor, amen.

00:50:18.222 --> 00:50:26.806
<v Speaker 2>You cannot sit in front of food and say, father, for the food we are about to eat, bless it for sure.

00:50:26.806 --> 00:50:27.489
<v Speaker 2>God blesses it.

00:50:27.489 --> 00:50:33.347
<v Speaker 2>Now, how it ends up in your stomach is whose problem?

00:50:33.347 --> 00:50:35.510
<v Speaker 2>is your problem?

00:50:35.510 --> 00:50:40.347
<v Speaker 2>can imagine if we would be praying for food and then suddenly, out of nowhere, the food would just enter our stomachs?

00:50:40.347 --> 00:50:46.360
<v Speaker 2>some of you would really like that to happen, especially when you're passing me a Kenchik.

00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:49.668
<v Speaker 2>You just like for that to happen.

00:50:49.668 --> 00:51:00.846
<v Speaker 2>And you're just passing by, says father for business, for the guy who is selling the chicken, who we're very serious, and it's God stealing his chicken.

00:51:00.846 --> 00:51:02.148
<v Speaker 2>So God doesn't do that.

00:51:02.148 --> 00:51:05.646
<v Speaker 2>But in this story, lift it out, he said.

00:51:05.646 --> 00:51:07.795
<v Speaker 2>Then the man reached out his hand and took it.

00:51:08.759 --> 00:51:17.764
<v Speaker 2>Now this, the reason I want to say this is this that God is so powerful that he's able to restore such big things.

00:51:17.764 --> 00:51:29.215
<v Speaker 2>But God cares about the small things in your life and he can restore even the things that you borrowed and disappeared.

00:51:29.215 --> 00:51:40.452
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine you've just been looking for money and then you decided to borrow it from this guy and and, and this guy gave you 50k and you've just put it in your pocket.

00:51:40.452 --> 00:51:50.005
<v Speaker 2>Then you enter my three hello by the time you're going out, somebody went with it and the money was borrowed.

00:51:50.005 --> 00:51:51.768
<v Speaker 2>What would you do?

00:51:51.768 --> 00:52:06.282
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying is this this book, this word of God, reveals to us that when God can deal with the Nebuchadnezzar's, he can deal with redemption.

00:52:06.282 --> 00:52:20.998
<v Speaker 2>But God can come so low to where you are and sort out accents, things, items for your work, small things that people don't care about.

00:52:20.998 --> 00:52:22.802
<v Speaker 2>God cares about those things.

00:52:22.802 --> 00:52:33.690
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says cast your burden unto Jesus, for he cares for you, he cares about what you care about.

00:52:33.690 --> 00:52:36.021
<v Speaker 2>So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor.

00:52:36.021 --> 00:52:45.525
<v Speaker 2>He restores amen and he's just telling you I'm Lord over the big things, i'm also Lord over a small things.

00:52:45.525 --> 00:53:04.679
<v Speaker 2>So there are many other stories out of red for you, but these are the ones that were that suffice for today that this voice of God is telling us that God is King, that God is Savior and God is Lord.

00:53:05.965 --> 00:53:12.523
<v Speaker 2>And as we prepare to pray, because we are going to be entering the new month tomorrow, hallelujah.

00:53:12.523 --> 00:53:16.327
<v Speaker 2>And do you know the theme for next month?

00:53:16.327 --> 00:53:23.541
<v Speaker 2>empowered, empowered, empowered.

00:53:23.541 --> 00:53:35.175
<v Speaker 2>I'm a man who is here Sunday empowered obedience, unleashed courage.

00:53:35.175 --> 00:53:37.909
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be talking about Joshua.

00:53:37.909 --> 00:53:40.800
<v Speaker 2>This month, we've been talking about Moses.

00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:43.409
<v Speaker 2>Next month we're talking about Joshua.

00:53:43.409 --> 00:53:46.983
<v Speaker 2>And I'm telling you it's going to be an exciting month.

00:53:46.983 --> 00:53:50.614
<v Speaker 2>Hallelujah, going to be an amazing month.

00:53:51.577 --> 00:54:07.650
<v Speaker 2>God is a good girl, so I want to pray, but as I prepare to pray, after I pray, we are going to cut birthday cakes for two months the month of April and the month of May.

00:54:07.650 --> 00:54:16.509
<v Speaker 2>So, hallelujah, tell your neighbor.

00:54:16.509 --> 00:54:22.463
<v Speaker 2>That is an inspired revelation, one as if you were.

00:54:22.463 --> 00:54:27.152
<v Speaker 2>So those who were born in April.

00:54:27.152 --> 00:54:28.496
<v Speaker 2>Are they here?

00:54:28.496 --> 00:54:31.543
<v Speaker 2>just stand up, let's see the April people.

<v Speaker 2>Okay, there you are.

<v Speaker 2>God bless you, amen.

00:54:40.025 --> 00:54:44.710
<v Speaker 2>So which cake is this?

00:54:44.710 --> 00:54:53.755

<v Speaker 2>You know why you're born in May?

00:55:11.568 --> 00:55:19.045
<v Speaker 2>Because your mother was not sure.

00:55:19.045 --> 00:55:28.065
<v Speaker 2>She was just saying maybe this month And maybe this month, and the month was May.

00:55:28.065 --> 00:55:34.047
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hey, man, god bless you.

<v Speaker 2>You are the God who reigns, you are the God who redeems And you are the God who restores.

00:57:47.722 --> 00:57:56.594
<v Speaker 2>So, father, even as we are praying, we want to thank you for those who are celebrating their birthdays the month of April and the month of May.
