Good afternoon and welcome to Healing Stream Waters Daily Doses. The joy of the Lord is my strength. I praise God for his daily dosages, their prescriptions, and you can find anything that you need in the word of God. So today I'm going to be coming from the eighth chapter of Acts and starting at the 29th verse to the end of the chapter. Then the spirit said unto Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him and heard him read the prophet Isaiah and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I accept some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he will come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and a lamb dumb before her shearer, so he opened not his mouth. In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away, and who shall declare this his generation? For his life is taken from the earth. And the eud asked answered Philip and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this of himself or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water. And the eunuch said, See, here is water. What doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believeth with all thine heart thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip that the eunuch saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azodis, and passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea. And the topic or the verse that I want to leave with you is the 34th verse. And Eunit answered Philip and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this of himself or of some other man. Whatever the question is, whatever you stand in need of that you don't know. Don't be afraid. Don't let your pride get in the way. If you don't know, you just don't know. But ask the question. That's the only way that you're gonna find out the who, the what, the where, and the when. Sometimes pride can get in our way. We'll sit in class or sit in church and don't understand or have a clue to what's being said. And we need answers because this is about your life, especially as the believer. The Bible says the ax know his master and the ox is uh the crib, but my people do not know, neither are they concerned. Because a lot of times when we don't know, we're shy away from seeking out and finding out the real answer, and in order for us to know about this faith that we believe in, what are you believing in? How can you call on him? Um of whom you have in the heard, and how can you believe somebody got to tell you something? You have to hear something that's gonna pique your interest, whether it's gonna prick you to your heart and make you repent, believe, and be baptized, or it's it's you're gonna go away angry, but you need to know what is the truth of what you're believing in. My dad used to always tell us either you stay for something or you're fall for anything, and when you don't know that thing that you're believing in about it, then you're a suspect to believe in anything that sounds good that comes toward your ears. You have to know that's the only way that you can stand. When he said, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. And after you've done all to stand sand, you cannot stand on something you don't know. Your sand is your footing, your foot ought to be shy with the preparation of the gospel of peace, and that means it's not only good things that's gonna happen, something is gonna happen that will try your very soul. The word says, in this world we're gonna have tribulation, but when we know what to do, when to do it, God gives us the answers before the test. But it depends on if we pay an attention, if we seek out the right answers. Philip, I mean, you to ask Philip, who is this man? Who is this that I'm reading about? Is the man talking about himself or is he talking about somebody else? But he was reading the Bible, and Philip, by he being a teacher of the Bible, he was able to from the very spot that the unit was reading, he was able to teach Jesus and then lead him to the water. He was able to seal the deal. Why? Because Philip was first partaker of what he was trying to um to tell the unit. The most effective employee, they say, is the one that's most informed. The more you know about this gospel, the more you know about whom you believe in and what's the standard, the uh the requirements, the stipulations. Once you know those things, you can work effectively. Sometimes we throw it up against the wall and hope that it sticks, but that's not the right way. There is a right answer. There is a right way to everything in life for best results. Follow the instruction. He was reading out of the book, we call it Isaiah, the 53rd chapter, was where he, like a sheep, was led to the slaughter, and like a dumb um sheep before her cherished, he opened not his mouth because he knew what he came to do, and it wasn't a question of proving his identity. Only in his identity could he do what he did. He was made a sacrifice, he was a great exchange for you and I, and by his stripes, today are we still healed because his word is forever settled in the heaven, and his word was saying what everything else failed. For best results, follow instruction, and if it's something that you don't know, ask the question. You may not answer in a big crowd, but find somebody that you are either comfortable with or you trust, please, ma'am, please, sir. It's too much information out here. We're living in an informational age. You can Google whatever way, please don't stay in the situation that you're in because there's answer to everything that you are up against. In the word of God, we have a hiding place because he is his word. He in the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the word was God, and we but and the word became flesh, and we beheld his glory as the only begotten son of the father. His blood still works, his word still works because he is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he got to repent. So if you're in need, ask God, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added unto you. You don't have to sit here and die. Not in this world, not in this world now where so much is at your fingertips. You know, if you want to know, you can know. So this is another daily dosage from healing stream waters. Ask the questions. Don't sit and die, don't suffer needlessly. The soundwriters say, Oh, what needless pain that we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. Be honest with yourself, ask God to heal you from all untruth, all unforgiveness. It's the goodness of the Lord that brings about repentance, and he will continue to woo you, he wants you to uh prosper, he don't want you to be lost, so he will make the pathway clear for you and lead you into the direction that you need to go, but you have to play a part in that. You have to seek, seek his way, seek his will, seek answers because it's he has it for you. And Revelation said, There is a tree in the garden that is good for the healing, whose leaves are good for the healing of the nation. So, whatever you need, there is a leaf that has your answer on it. Seek God, and He will give you that which you need to make this journey, because He gives us all things that pertains not only to godliness, but to but to life. Thank God, praise God, from whom all blessings flow. This is healing free waters with your daily doses. God loves you, I love you, and there's nothing that you can do about it.
