WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:24.560
Music.

00:00:24.579 --> 00:00:28.419
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul.

00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.399
Yes, indeed, Father God, the war goes on. Yet you have already won that war,

00:00:33.459 --> 00:00:36.219
and we thank you for the revelation of your love and truth, your favor,

00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.799
your blessing, your authority that you have given us as your believers.

00:00:39.979 --> 00:00:42.359
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in and through us.

00:00:42.699 --> 00:00:46.219
We thank you, Father, for Jesus Christ, your Son, who was sent,

00:00:46.419 --> 00:00:50.019
who was willing to come to die for us to purchase our salvation.

00:00:50.019 --> 00:00:53.379
Thank you, Jesus, for ascending to the right hand of the Father,

00:00:53.379 --> 00:00:57.239
for sending the Holy Spirit, for giving us power and authority over all of the

00:00:57.239 --> 00:00:58.619
powers of the enemy, Father God.

00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.659
And I thank you, Jesus, that we do take that authority now to bind the powers

00:01:01.659 --> 00:01:03.179
of the prince of the power of the air.

00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:06.579
Anything else that would try to interfere with this communication.

00:01:07.399 --> 00:01:11.219
With your word going forth through our lives, we thank you, Father,

00:01:11.659 --> 00:01:16.139
for the power to bind and loosen, forgive and walk in victory,

00:01:16.139 --> 00:01:19.899
to walk in the power of your Spirit. We thank you for that. We thank you for wisdom and counsel.

00:01:20.279 --> 00:01:23.159
We thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ, which sets us free.

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.759
You said you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

00:01:25.839 --> 00:01:29.719
Thank you for binding as we bind, as you've promised, that no weapon formed

00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.019
against us will prosper. No word said, deed done, action taken.

00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.339
We bind all the words and curses and incantations and sorcery and enchantments

00:01:37.339 --> 00:01:41.279
of witchcraft and the powers of darkness, and we declare that we are more than

00:01:41.279 --> 00:01:44.459
conquerors through Jesus Christ and His truth that surrounds us,

00:01:44.539 --> 00:01:45.879
that follows us, that keeps us.

00:01:45.979 --> 00:01:48.559
And thank you, Lord, now for giving us eyes to see, ears to hear,

00:01:48.699 --> 00:01:51.699
and a heart to receive the revelation of this love, this truth,

00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:52.999
your power, your freedom.

00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:57.439
Father God, in Jesus' name, amen. Hey, guess what it is, Jerry?

00:01:59.059 --> 00:02:05.699
Well, we're making the announcement to the world that this is the 500th edition

00:02:05.699 --> 00:02:08.819
of Rescue Radio. Can you believe it?

00:02:09.379 --> 00:02:14.039
Where did all that time go? Well, yeah, and we thought we've been— This is number 500.

00:02:14.219 --> 00:02:18.539
Think of it. Yeah. I think we've been on the air for how many years now? 11, maybe?

00:02:19.179 --> 00:02:21.819
Something like that. It felt like five. I don't know. you know

00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:25.099
time goes so fast when you're having fun they say but yeah but

00:02:25.099 --> 00:02:27.879
you know the the key to all of this

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.299
is getting out the word and we just want you to celebrate with us thank you

00:02:32.299 --> 00:02:35.839
for those of you who have joined us all these years and are adding to our numbers

for being prayerful for helping us for getting the word out for prep yeah just

00:02:41.699 --> 00:02:45.879
just everything you've done to help us yeah and there are people that initially,

00:02:46.833 --> 00:02:51.593
Helped us financially to get this launched and stuck with us for years.

00:02:51.813 --> 00:02:54.973
And I'm not going to mention names, but you know who you are.

00:02:55.213 --> 00:02:59.093
Yeah, thanks. And thank you so much for, thanks for listening.

00:02:59.353 --> 00:03:04.053
Yeah. You know, we never, actually never introduce ourselves on Rescue Radio either.

00:03:04.233 --> 00:03:07.773
So people don't know maybe who we are, who, well, we're connected with,

00:03:07.913 --> 00:03:11.013
but we are, we're Life Recovery, True Light Church.

00:03:11.973 --> 00:03:15.853
And I'm Margie and you're Jerry, right? Are you still Jerry?

00:03:15.853 --> 00:03:19.953
Yeah, we're husband and wife. Yeah, we've been at this for many years.

00:03:20.113 --> 00:03:23.653
But we just want to thank you again for joining us, and please pass the word.

00:03:23.793 --> 00:03:26.913
So today we're going to talk about, you know, the other day I was thinking,

00:03:27.113 --> 00:03:29.853
and as we see we're going into more and more of the deception,

00:03:30.253 --> 00:03:34.493
the end times, and where's your location, the blast, the emergencies,

00:03:34.773 --> 00:03:36.953
the crises, the anxiety, the freakouts.

00:03:37.333 --> 00:03:42.593
The culmination of events is going to create such chaos and such confusion and

00:03:42.593 --> 00:03:48.293
such deception that it's going to be in the last days, there's one critical

00:03:48.293 --> 00:03:51.393
issue, and that is who's telling the truth?

00:03:51.633 --> 00:03:54.153
How do we discern who's telling the truth and who's not?

00:03:54.393 --> 00:03:57.653
And Jesus said it in Matthew, he says in the last days, be not deceived.

00:03:58.053 --> 00:04:02.093
Many will come, many, many will come in my name, saying I'm the Christ.

00:04:02.393 --> 00:04:06.573
And he said, basically, don't go after them. So the question we're going to

00:04:06.573 --> 00:04:10.153
talk about today is how do we keep from being deceived in the last days,

00:04:10.313 --> 00:04:14.253
since there are false prophets, false teachers, Antichrist spirits.

00:04:14.793 --> 00:04:18.793
Angels of light, all floating around. So that's what we're going to talk about today.

00:04:19.213 --> 00:04:25.233
Yeah, there's a lot of people have a lot of charisma, which means that they're

00:04:25.233 --> 00:04:31.153
flashy, they look good, sound good, flow good, it seems, and have a lot of popularity.

00:04:31.473 --> 00:04:38.453
But what is really the bottom line is character, who we really are in Christ.

00:04:38.733 --> 00:04:43.973
And And also, not only in character, but with that character,

00:04:44.213 --> 00:04:49.073
it's the people that are characterized by love, the love of God.

00:04:49.353 --> 00:04:52.733
And of course, there's so many weird ideas about love.

00:04:53.449 --> 00:04:59.349
You know, I love you, I'm infatuated with you, I lust after you, and it's not love.

00:04:59.449 --> 00:05:06.749
But we're going to look today at what the Bible says as love and how love is a true indicator.

00:05:07.009 --> 00:05:11.429
The love of God is a true indicator of who's for real and who's a deceiver.

00:05:11.429 --> 00:05:12.829
Well, you know, it's one thing. It's interesting.

00:05:13.089 --> 00:05:17.709
Satan can counterfeit everything. He has a counterfeit for every genuine thing God has.

00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:24.329
Satan has a lookalike counterfeit. But the only thing that he really cannot counterfeit is love.

00:05:24.729 --> 00:05:27.909
Real love. Real love. He can make it look like, as you said,

00:05:27.969 --> 00:05:32.789
lust, infatuation, all of these kinds of things. And he does that.

00:05:33.029 --> 00:05:36.729
He really does that. He really deceives people through their feelings and their

00:05:36.729 --> 00:05:37.789
emotions and their needs.

00:05:38.029 --> 00:05:41.649
But the truth is, Jesus said it very simply. And I was just wondering,

00:05:41.789 --> 00:05:44.549
how are we going to tell, like I said, how are we going to tell who's really

00:05:44.549 --> 00:05:49.089
the genuine people, the ones that are safe to follow in the last days since.

00:05:49.289 --> 00:05:51.549
In Matthew, he says, can I just read this real quick?

00:05:51.849 --> 00:05:58.749
24, 10 and 11, and many will be offended in those days and will betray one another,

00:05:58.769 --> 00:06:00.909
and they will hate one another.

00:06:01.089 --> 00:06:06.229
Then many false prophets, false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

00:06:06.449 --> 00:06:11.389
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold,

00:06:11.569 --> 00:06:13.689
but he who endures to the end will be saved.

00:06:13.809 --> 00:06:19.329
So the lawlessness, the hypocrisy, the injustice, the offenses,

00:06:19.409 --> 00:06:23.769
the betrayal, the treachery is going to cause many to just withdraw.

00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:27.309
They're not even going to want to be out there and they're just going to sit

00:06:27.309 --> 00:06:31.589
in their little hole or whatever they're at and just hang out till the end.

00:06:31.689 --> 00:06:37.029
But many will be upset, betrayed, and so the love of many will grow cold.

00:06:37.249 --> 00:06:42.349
Except the good thing about the love of many growing cold is that the true lovers

00:06:42.349 --> 00:06:45.249
of Jesus Christ, their love will become more apparent.

00:06:46.149 --> 00:06:48.769
Just like in the darkness, a little light becomes more bright,

00:06:48.889 --> 00:06:49.789
the greater the darkness.

00:06:50.029 --> 00:06:54.289
That's true. In the old King James Version, in Matthew 24, verse 12,

00:06:54.629 --> 00:07:01.169
it says, The love of many will wax cold. We're not talking about wax like paraffin

00:07:01.169 --> 00:07:03.809
wax or anything like that, or car wax.

00:07:04.129 --> 00:07:09.709
But we're talking, it means grow cold. And the way, the original language there

00:07:09.709 --> 00:07:16.409
means, it's like if you have a soup, Say you have a bowl of soup and you have

00:07:16.409 --> 00:07:19.029
a spoon and you blow on the soup.

00:07:19.229 --> 00:07:25.909
You blow on the soup that's in your spoon until it gets cold, cools off.

00:07:26.109 --> 00:07:31.909
So it's kind of a gradual thing. And I really believe that it's the influence of this world.

00:07:32.109 --> 00:07:37.069
Absolutely. The sin, the iniquity, the walledness, the enemy just like blows

00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:41.009
on us just to gradually cool us off. The wind of fatigue, depression,

00:07:41.249 --> 00:07:43.689
exhaustion, anxiety, all these winds of confusion.

00:07:44.029 --> 00:07:48.349
Keep blowing at us. But in 1 Timothy 4, verse 1,

00:07:48.809 --> 00:07:53.889
Paul is saying to Timothy, Now, the Spirit expressly says that in the latter

00:07:53.889 --> 00:08:00.049
times, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

00:08:00.529 --> 00:08:05.489
speaking lies and hypocrisy, having their own consciences seared with a hot iron.

00:08:05.629 --> 00:08:08.329
In other words, what they're doing, they don't even care.

00:08:09.369 --> 00:08:13.829
There's just a hardness, there's a callousness, a loss of any kind of conscience.

00:08:14.029 --> 00:08:15.629
Towards what they're doing.

00:08:16.129 --> 00:08:20.529
And Peter says the same thing in 2 Peter 2, verse 1.

00:08:21.429 --> 00:08:26.629
These guys are warning us of things that they saw prophetically.

00:08:27.629 --> 00:08:29.209
But verse 1 in 2.1,

00:08:29.828 --> 00:08:35.308
2 Peter 2, verse 1, But there were also false prophets among the people,

00:08:35.428 --> 00:08:38.268
even as there will be false teachers among you,

00:08:38.488 --> 00:08:43.208
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought

00:08:43.208 --> 00:08:46.508
them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

00:08:46.788 --> 00:08:51.288
And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the

00:08:51.288 --> 00:08:52.488
truth will be blasphemed.

00:08:52.608 --> 00:08:58.108
So by covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words.

00:08:58.608 --> 00:09:05.208
And for a long time their judgment has been idle and their destructions did not slumber.

00:09:05.228 --> 00:09:07.728
In other words, they got by with this for a long time, but he's saying,

00:09:08.188 --> 00:09:11.188
many, you're going to know two things.

00:09:11.288 --> 00:09:15.468
Their fruit, they'll be destructive, hypocritical, they're going to blaspheme the truth.

00:09:15.648 --> 00:09:20.088
So by their fruits you shall know them and also the fact that many will follow them.

00:09:20.328 --> 00:09:27.428
So the fact that many, many is not a few, many will be pulled off into the deception

00:09:27.428 --> 00:09:30.928
and follow them. So there's another telltale sign of deception.

00:09:31.268 --> 00:09:36.968
The big crowds, the big hordes of people, you know, the big glamorous whatever,

00:09:37.608 --> 00:09:41.228
you know, I don't even know what you call them. Performances, maybe.

00:09:42.188 --> 00:09:45.548
There will be many, but that's not, does that look like the book of Acts?

00:09:45.808 --> 00:09:50.008
Does that look like Jesus and his disciples laying down their lives for one another?

00:09:50.288 --> 00:09:54.848
No, it really doesn't. So, again, there are red flags that will appear,

00:09:54.848 --> 00:09:57.768
and if you're willing, the Holy Spirit will alert you to them.

00:09:57.768 --> 00:10:03.448
And if you're willing to take the warning, you'll be able to see that in the

00:10:03.448 --> 00:10:08.848
last days, there's going to be tons of deception and confusion,

00:10:09.508 --> 00:10:13.548
and anger and bitterness and hatred and offense because the true gospel of Jesus

00:10:13.548 --> 00:10:16.068
Christ is being, the enemy's trying to snuff it out.

00:10:16.608 --> 00:10:23.488
Jesus presented the true indicator of who the followers of Jesus are.

00:10:23.708 --> 00:10:26.408
I mean, so many claim to be followers of Jesus.

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:32.040
But the true indicator, he says, by their fruits, you shall know them.

00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:38.460
And then he said in John 13, 35, 34 and 35, a new commandment I give to you

00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:43.920
that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Okay?

00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:48.220
As I have loved you. How did Jesus love us? He loved us with a cross.

00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:53.400
He loved us with, you know, having loved his own who were in the world,

00:10:53.520 --> 00:10:56.820
he loved them until the end. And he still loves us.

00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:02.460
He says, by this, all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for

00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:04.800
one another. So this is the indicator.

00:11:05.060 --> 00:11:09.900
The indicator of true followers of Jesus is that love.

00:11:10.060 --> 00:11:13.660
We're marked by love. And it's not lip service.

00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:17.200
Jesus says, many honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:22.720
And so we have to realize that there's a lot of, you know, verbiage out there.

00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.820
Satan likes to use the words that are important to us, like justice and truth and love.

00:11:29.020 --> 00:11:36.420
And so he perverts the words and uses them in a deceptive way to get us to believe

00:11:36.420 --> 00:11:40.380
that who we're listening to are genuine. But then again, here's the other side of that coin.

00:11:40.820 --> 00:11:45.760
In the last days which we're in, Jesus said he's going to bring to light all

00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:46.800
the hidden works of darkness.

00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:50.820
So the more the pressure gets put on the church, the remnant,

00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:55.900
the followers of Jesus Christ, the world, the more the pressure gets put on us.

00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:03.680
It's like the heat is being turned up, and the dross is coming to the surface in this refining pot.

00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:08.100
And so the more the heat goes up, the more the true people, followers of Jesus

00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:16.560
Christ, are going to be revealed because Satan tries to make everything look like good, wonderful,

00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:21.720
lovely, you know, but, and all, you know, just wonderful,

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.700
but it's not all wonderful.

00:12:24.020 --> 00:12:27.840
There's a lot of hurt and pain and truth and people suffering.

00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:31.120
And what are we doing with and for those people?

00:12:31.260 --> 00:12:37.400
And how do we treat one another in the crises that Satan puts us through in our relationships?

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.420
Do we love? Do we forgive? I think forgiveness is a big part of loving one another.

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:46.540
And that's part of how we can tell the true followers of Jesus Christ,

00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.620
because you're going to need to know, if you hang around, if we're going to

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:51.560
be here at the end, there's going to be all kinds of ways that the devil's going

00:12:51.560 --> 00:12:55.820
to try to pull us away, divide us, use us against one another to betray one another.

00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.620
And so we're really going to have to do what Jesus did, and that is lay down

00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:00.960
your life for one another.

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.080
Truly, the love of God is in action.

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:10.160
Excuse me. Right, Marjorie. Another thing is that we tend to withdraw because

00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:16.860
if we're going to show love, people are in such messed up conditions these days.

00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:24.160
That Jesus, there were so many, if you read about Jesus and his situation,

00:13:24.460 --> 00:13:28.100
it's very similar to the situation that we face as believers today.

00:13:28.900 --> 00:13:32.880
Matthew chapter 4, verses 23 and 24.

00:13:33.020 --> 00:13:36.640
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:41.180
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all

00:13:41.180 --> 00:13:42.840
kinds of disease among the people.

00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:49.880
So this is power. And this is what Jesus told his disciples to do, continue in this.

00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:55.540
And then his fame went throughout all Syria, okay, and they brought to him all

00:13:55.540 --> 00:14:00.760
sick, all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments,

00:14:00.900 --> 00:14:04.460
and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, paralytics, and he healed them.

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:09.260
So, this is getting to be the rank and file of people these days,

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:13.740
even though they might look so good on the outside, but people are,

00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:17.500
you know, sick, afflicted, diseases, torments,

00:14:18.260 --> 00:14:23.740
demonizing, in so many ways, epileptics, paralytics, and he brought healing

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:26.360
to them. So, the temptation is this.

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:30.100
One of the temptations for the believers, for us, is this.

00:14:30.918 --> 00:14:37.818
This is all too messy, and we don't know how to address this with authority

00:14:37.818 --> 00:14:40.138
and power. So we tend to what?

00:14:40.598 --> 00:14:44.418
Withdraw. And we'll just do our little thing and our little life.

00:14:44.538 --> 00:14:47.098
And wait in our sweet little safe place until Jesus comes. Yeah,

00:14:47.278 --> 00:14:49.658
stay safe and uninvolved. This is not what he said to do.

00:14:49.878 --> 00:14:55.438
Right. And so we're called to go into this like it says in Isaiah 58.

00:14:55.778 --> 00:14:57.078
Well, yeah, we'll get to that.

00:14:57.658 --> 00:15:03.158
Well, let's do Isaiah 58. So they were fasting and they were being all caught

00:15:03.158 --> 00:15:04.558
up with religious, yeah.

00:15:04.818 --> 00:15:08.978
And they were upset with God because God was not honoring their fasting.

00:15:09.518 --> 00:15:15.558
In 58 verse, tell my people their transgression, end of verse 1,

00:15:15.938 --> 00:15:17.438
and the house of Jacob their sin.

00:15:17.798 --> 00:15:23.558
Yet they speak of me daily, delighting to know my ways as a nation that did

00:15:23.558 --> 00:15:26.658
righteousness and did not forsake the ordinances of their God.

00:15:26.658 --> 00:15:29.398
They ask me the ordinances of justice.

00:15:29.698 --> 00:15:35.158
They take delight in approaching God. Why have we fasted, they say, and you have not heard?

00:15:35.678 --> 00:15:38.758
Why have we afflicted our souls and you've taken no notice?

00:15:39.378 --> 00:15:43.058
So they're saying, we've done all these hard things. We fasted,

00:15:43.098 --> 00:15:44.058
we've afflicted ourselves.

00:15:44.278 --> 00:15:48.278
All these religious things. We've punished ourselves. And why aren't you paying any attention?

00:15:48.438 --> 00:15:52.738
I mean, this is a religious manipulation of God. Okay, so I'm going to fast

00:15:52.738 --> 00:15:58.118
my eyes out and I'm going to die to make sure that God does what I want him to do.

00:15:58.458 --> 00:16:02.838
Trying to arm wrestle God with fasting.

00:16:03.518 --> 00:16:08.598
Manipulating God with your religious practices. So another thing he says there

00:16:08.598 --> 00:16:12.038
in the last part of verse 3, in fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure

00:16:12.038 --> 00:16:13.898
and you exploit all your laborers.

00:16:14.218 --> 00:16:17.578
In other words, you're doing all this religious stuff,

00:16:17.578 --> 00:16:21.098
but practically day to day you're exploiting the people that work for you taking

00:16:21.098 --> 00:16:24.978
advantage of them not paying them you know you fast for strife and debate you

00:16:24.978 --> 00:16:29.318
come into well I fasted 40 days well I only fasted 21 days I mean,

00:16:29.829 --> 00:16:34.149
He says, you're trying to make your voice to be heard on high,

00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:38.049
but your day-to-day lifestyle is just wicked.

00:16:38.649 --> 00:16:42.089
And then verse 5, yeah, go ahead. Yeah, and then verse 5, he said,

00:16:42.189 --> 00:16:45.749
Is this a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul,

00:16:45.909 --> 00:16:49.449
to bow down his head like a bulrush, to spread out sackcloth and ashes?

00:16:49.469 --> 00:16:51.709
Would you call this a fast acceptable to the Lord?

00:16:51.829 --> 00:16:57.209
Well, I'm fasting. Oh, I can't eat a hamburger today because I'm fasting,

00:16:57.209 --> 00:17:00.869
you know, for the Lord. We're not criticizing fasting, but what we're saying

00:17:00.869 --> 00:17:03.969
is these people were doing it for the wrong reasons.

00:17:04.129 --> 00:17:06.669
For the wrong reasons. They were trying to manipulate to get God to do what

00:17:06.669 --> 00:17:11.169
they wanted to do. And then God says in verse 6, is this not the fast that I've chosen?

00:17:11.389 --> 00:17:14.569
Here we go, going back to love one another. The real fast.

00:17:14.689 --> 00:17:18.349
To lose the bonds of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens, to let the oppressed

00:17:18.349 --> 00:17:21.509
go free, and that you break every yoke.

00:17:21.609 --> 00:17:25.909
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and that you bring to your house

00:17:25.909 --> 00:17:28.189
the poor who have been cast out?

00:17:28.189 --> 00:17:31.369
Plenty of those these days homeless people street people living

00:17:31.369 --> 00:17:34.209
on the streets everywhere when you see the naked that

00:17:34.209 --> 00:17:38.789
you cover them and not hide yourself from your own flesh then your light will

00:17:38.789 --> 00:17:43.249
break forth as the morning and your healing shall spring forth speedily and

00:17:43.249 --> 00:17:47.149
your righteousness will go before you the glory of the lord will be your rear

00:17:47.149 --> 00:17:51.209
guard then you shall call and the lord will answer you will cry and he will

00:17:51.209 --> 00:17:54.069
hear you say here am i so we you know.

00:17:54.513 --> 00:18:00.273
So God wants to transform us, internally transform us, so that we're not just

00:18:00.273 --> 00:18:06.033
doing things that look good and holy, but we're actually being holy.

00:18:06.213 --> 00:18:09.753
We're actually letting the Holy Spirit work and move in and live his life through

00:18:09.753 --> 00:18:14.033
us to do those things that are pleasing to God. And there's plenty out there to do.

00:18:14.213 --> 00:18:18.053
But ultimately, you've got to stop looking at what it looks like.

00:18:18.273 --> 00:18:22.073
Nothing is as it appears, Jesus said. Don't make your judgments based on appearances.

00:18:22.073 --> 00:18:25.593
Says, make your judgments based on fruit.

00:18:25.773 --> 00:18:29.933
And not all fruit looks, I mean, look at Jesus.

00:18:30.493 --> 00:18:34.673
I mean, perfect in every way, following God, totally in the will of the Father,

00:18:34.933 --> 00:18:36.253
every day, every minute, every hour.

00:18:36.473 --> 00:18:41.493
And yet what happened to him? He was slandered, slimed, attacked, accused, scoffed at.

00:18:41.673 --> 00:18:48.533
And so you can't really judge the true matter until you know the heart.

00:18:48.653 --> 00:18:50.873
And Jesus said, what the heart is full of the mouth speaks.

00:18:51.053 --> 00:18:55.293
But at the same time, if you and I are following Jesus, we may also,

00:18:55.513 --> 00:18:59.933
you know, there may be accusations and judgments and witchcraft and attacks

00:18:59.933 --> 00:19:05.573
and all kinds of things thrown against us to criticize, to question our intentions.

00:19:05.573 --> 00:19:08.133
But the thing is, you need to know who you are.

00:19:08.333 --> 00:19:11.733
And whether they slander you, slime you, or praise you, it doesn't matter.

00:19:11.953 --> 00:19:16.153
What matters is that you do the will of God and know that you are loved and then love.

00:19:16.293 --> 00:19:20.033
Because if you don't know you're loved, the Bible says the commandment is love

00:19:20.033 --> 00:19:22.113
the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength,

00:19:22.153 --> 00:19:23.393
and your neighbor as yourself.

00:19:23.573 --> 00:19:26.733
You cannot love your neighbor if you don't love yourself.

00:19:26.953 --> 00:19:30.973
And loving yourself means to understand the purposes and the passion and the

00:19:30.973 --> 00:19:36.153
compassion of God and his heart in making us and even in allowing us to be brought

00:19:36.153 --> 00:19:39.733
forth through trials and tribulations in this snake pit.

00:19:40.093 --> 00:19:45.673
This is a refining pot. This is where silver is refined. Gold is brought forth.

00:19:46.213 --> 00:19:50.553
So your faith may be as precious gold. This is not a cruise ship.

00:19:50.733 --> 00:19:55.733
This is a destroyer that we're living on as we float through the seas of life.

00:19:56.152 --> 00:20:01.732
In 1 Corinthians 13, we hear a lot about this, but do we really hear it?

00:20:02.332 --> 00:20:06.532
He said, beginning with verse 4, love suffers long and is kind.

00:20:06.692 --> 00:20:09.652
In other words, is very patient, right?

00:20:10.512 --> 00:20:15.352
Kindness. Okay, these are all attributes of love.

00:20:15.912 --> 00:20:22.352
You know, he talks about what love is and what love isn't. Right. Love does not envy.

00:20:23.032 --> 00:20:27.692
Love does not parade itself. Look, stop, go back for a minute to the first part there.

00:20:27.792 --> 00:20:31.492
It says, though I speak with the tongue of men and angels and become a sounding

00:20:31.492 --> 00:20:34.832
brass, I can be a big name preacher somewhere.

00:20:35.052 --> 00:20:38.952
And you have the gift of prophecy and understand mysteries and knowledge and

00:20:38.952 --> 00:20:43.192
have faith so that I could even remove mountains. But I can do this all without love.

00:20:43.352 --> 00:20:45.392
And if I have not love, it doesn't count.

00:20:45.752 --> 00:20:49.952
Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and give my body even to be burned.

00:20:50.132 --> 00:20:55.312
But I have not love. You can do all these outward things without. without having love.

00:20:55.852 --> 00:20:59.292
So love actually, you know, isn't what we think it is.

00:20:59.452 --> 00:21:03.472
We think that love is a feeling and love is infatuation and I'm in love and

00:21:03.472 --> 00:21:05.632
oh, lovely, lovely, everything is wonderful.

00:21:05.952 --> 00:21:09.712
But love actually is a place of suffering.

00:21:10.632 --> 00:21:14.472
Love believes all things, is kind. Love does not envy.

00:21:14.852 --> 00:21:18.072
Love does not parade itself or puff itself up or act arrogant,

00:21:18.512 --> 00:21:22.992
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, puts other people first,

00:21:22.992 --> 00:21:24.912
is not provoked, thinks no evil.

00:21:25.272 --> 00:21:28.312
I'm not putting other people first because I want to people please them.

00:21:28.492 --> 00:21:30.612
I'm putting them where they belong.

00:21:31.992 --> 00:21:34.892
Seeing the goodness of God,

00:21:35.072 --> 00:21:39.912
that we are creatures carrying the image of God, gives me a love and a compassion

00:21:39.912 --> 00:21:45.272
for every one of God's people that is deeper than behavior or what they do or

00:21:45.272 --> 00:21:47.232
don't do. It's because God loves them.

00:21:47.832 --> 00:21:53.372
I love them because God loves me. I love him. The love sees the best in people,

00:21:53.552 --> 00:21:59.352
sees the destiny, sees the pain in people's lives and stands up and says,

00:21:59.472 --> 00:22:01.852
okay, send me, Lord God. What do you want me to do?

00:22:02.252 --> 00:22:05.992
I mean, we're doing out of being here, not doing to be.

00:22:06.452 --> 00:22:11.472
Does that make sense? Yeah, exactly. And what you mentioned is so powerful about

00:22:11.472 --> 00:22:15.672
the Lord opening our eyes, giving us a revelation of the love that he has for us.

00:22:15.872 --> 00:22:21.092
And for them. Be able to see people more and more as Jesus sees them.

00:22:21.212 --> 00:22:28.012
He saw them in Matthew 9, 35 through 38. It talks about Jesus saw the multitudes.

00:22:28.352 --> 00:22:31.232
They were scattered. They were scattered. They were messed up.

00:22:31.332 --> 00:22:34.012
They were like sheep without a shepherd. They were suffering.

00:22:34.452 --> 00:22:41.292
And he was just moved with compassion. Just his guts were just stirred with

00:22:41.292 --> 00:22:47.192
love for them because they were lost like sheep without a shepherd. And he said...

00:22:47.672 --> 00:22:54.892
So he saw them that way. That's how he sees them. We see people so often just by outward appearance.

00:22:55.332 --> 00:23:00.452
You know, we see people and we make an automatic judgment about who they are

00:23:00.452 --> 00:23:03.172
by the way they look or the job they have. Or how they treated us.

00:23:03.292 --> 00:23:06.292
How they treated us. And we go, well, let's go beyond that.

00:23:06.352 --> 00:23:09.992
How many of us have done that where we look at somebody and we think,

00:23:10.132 --> 00:23:12.972
oh my, oh, they're like this and they're like that.

00:23:13.192 --> 00:23:19.012
Then we really get to know them and find out our whole, We had a great misconception

00:23:19.012 --> 00:23:20.712
about their true nature.

00:23:21.052 --> 00:23:25.512
We prejudged them without giving them a chance. And this is now.

00:23:25.752 --> 00:23:27.112
Wait till it gets really messy.

00:23:27.452 --> 00:23:32.132
Wait till Daniel, the chapters in Daniel where he says that in the Antichrist

00:23:32.132 --> 00:23:37.712
in verse chapter 8, in the latter 23, and in the latter times of their kingdom,

00:23:37.912 --> 00:23:40.812
when the transgressors have reached their fullness.

00:23:41.772 --> 00:23:45.192
We're on our way. The transgressors are reaching their fullness. us.

00:23:45.852 --> 00:23:50.432
The king will arise having fierce features, understanding sinister schemes.

00:23:50.572 --> 00:23:54.312
We're uncovering sinister schemes, but I don't think we've even scratched the

00:23:54.312 --> 00:23:59.112
surface of these sinister schemes that this thing, this fierce one has in mind.

00:23:59.332 --> 00:24:02.932
His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. In other words,

00:24:03.012 --> 00:24:04.972
somebody is giving him that power. That would be the devil.

00:24:05.212 --> 00:24:10.252
He will destroy fearfully and prosper and thrive and shall destroy the mighty

00:24:10.252 --> 00:24:12.092
and also the holy people.

00:24:12.412 --> 00:24:16.492
Through his cunning, he shall cause deceit to prosper under his hand.

00:24:16.632 --> 00:24:21.692
So we are in this place of major, be not deceived in the last days.

00:24:21.872 --> 00:24:25.052
Again, many will come in my name. So deceit is going to prosper,

00:24:25.092 --> 00:24:29.632
and he will magnify himself, and he shall destroy many, even in their prosperity.

00:24:29.912 --> 00:24:31.952
He shall even rise against the

00:24:31.952 --> 00:24:36.092
prince of princes, but he shall be broken without a hand. That's Daniel 8.

00:24:36.352 --> 00:24:38.512
Now go to Daniel 11.

00:24:38.832 --> 00:24:43.312
We see some more of these things in the end, 11, 34, 35.

00:24:44.242 --> 00:24:50.482
And those who do wickedly, let's go with 31 first, and forces shall be mustered

00:24:50.482 --> 00:24:53.902
against him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress,

00:24:54.142 --> 00:24:59.702
and they shall take away the daily sacrifices and place there the abomination of desolation.

00:24:59.982 --> 00:25:03.862
You know, many people, this is a true powerful sign that God has given us to

00:25:03.862 --> 00:25:07.382
see what's going to happen, but many people haven't learned what this sign is.

00:25:07.442 --> 00:25:10.842
They don't know about it because they're too busy in their virtual world and

00:25:10.842 --> 00:25:15.622
being mesmerized, stupefied, enchanted, and sorceried. That's a new word, sorcerer.

00:25:17.142 --> 00:25:20.622
Yeah, that's a new word. Those who do wickedly against the covenant,

00:25:20.642 --> 00:25:22.042
he shall corrupt with flattery.

00:25:22.462 --> 00:25:27.902
So, he's going to, the people who know their God, they shall be strong and carry out great exploits.

00:25:28.362 --> 00:25:32.262
Those who are of the people who understand shall instruct many,

00:25:32.502 --> 00:25:34.762
yet for many days they shall fall by the sword and flame.

00:25:34.842 --> 00:25:38.122
So, you can't look at how it's going in your life to determine whether or not

00:25:38.122 --> 00:25:40.662
you in the right place, because you're going to be persecuted,

00:25:40.842 --> 00:25:44.162
you're going to be attacked, you're going to be slandered and slimed and made

00:25:44.162 --> 00:25:47.682
to look like hypocrites and full of hypocrisy.

00:25:48.062 --> 00:25:52.222
By captivity and by plundering, there's going to be a lot of pain out there.

00:25:53.042 --> 00:25:56.402
Now, when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help.

00:25:56.502 --> 00:25:59.402
So God's going to help us a little, a little help from God's a lot, though.

00:25:59.722 --> 00:26:03.362
But many shall join them by intrigue, flattery, or slipperiness.

00:26:03.462 --> 00:26:07.502
So there's going to be many that join our ranks, and some of those who understand

00:26:07.502 --> 00:26:09.022
shall fall. We see that now.

00:26:09.222 --> 00:26:13.862
We see many who are falling to refine them, purge them, and make them white

00:26:13.862 --> 00:26:18.142
until the time of the end, because it is still for an appointed time.

00:26:18.302 --> 00:26:21.042
So there's going to be a lot of sorting in the last days.

00:26:21.282 --> 00:26:23.802
The righteous, the ones who know their God, they're going to do exploits,

00:26:23.862 --> 00:26:24.862
but they're also going to suffer.

00:26:25.002 --> 00:26:28.962
They're going to be persecuted and will be aided with a little help.

00:26:28.962 --> 00:26:35.362
But some of us are going to fall and be exposed because everything that's hidden

00:26:35.362 --> 00:26:36.782
is being brought to the light.

00:26:37.869 --> 00:26:40.169
So it's going to be a mess. It's going to be a big super mess.

00:26:40.289 --> 00:26:45.149
The only thing, however, that we can hold on to and in being assured or sure

00:26:45.149 --> 00:26:49.689
that we are with the right group and that we are with those who love us is by

00:26:49.689 --> 00:26:51.509
the love we have for one another.

00:26:51.869 --> 00:26:58.489
And this isn't just an outward thing, but it is truly cherishing the other person,

00:26:58.729 --> 00:27:00.149
knowing, caring for them,

00:27:00.709 --> 00:27:03.909
empathizing, understanding their pain,

00:27:04.349 --> 00:27:08.149
pitying them sometimes, seeing what the enemies try to do to knock them out,

00:27:08.549 --> 00:27:12.649
loving them at the core of their being as created sons or daughters of the Most

00:27:12.649 --> 00:27:17.149
High God that have been thrown into the snake pit and bitten by serpents and cast out.

00:27:18.049 --> 00:27:25.549
The ones that we shun and cast out and reject are usually the ones that are gods.

00:27:26.529 --> 00:27:29.409
But again, going back to love, Satan counterfeits everything,

00:27:29.629 --> 00:27:34.189
but he cannot counterfeit true love. That's the only thing he cannot counterfeit.

00:27:34.489 --> 00:27:37.769
But he can make a lot of lookalike loves. But you,

00:27:37.969 --> 00:27:41.669
if you know your spirit, God's spirit is bearing witness with your spirit,

00:27:41.849 --> 00:27:45.909
that you know what you're seeing and what you're experiencing is from him,

00:27:46.069 --> 00:27:49.909
and that he wants you to love others and bring the truth to them,

00:27:50.129 --> 00:27:52.789
this will be our most glorious hour,

00:27:53.049 --> 00:27:55.809
even though it is our most terrifying hour.

00:27:57.269 --> 00:28:02.169
Yeah, and there's so much prayer in the Bible, in the New Testament,

00:28:02.429 --> 00:28:04.489
about growing in the love of God.

00:28:05.229 --> 00:28:11.409
Philippians chapter 1 and verse 9, it says, And this I pray,

00:28:11.489 --> 00:28:15.909
Paul is praying for the church of Philippi, that your love may abound still

00:28:15.909 --> 00:28:19.169
more and more in knowledge and in all discernment.

00:28:19.169 --> 00:28:28.529
Okay, we've heard the expression that love is blind, but love is 20-20 vision, right?

00:28:28.929 --> 00:28:36.209
In God, yeah. In God, that our love may grow more and more in knowledge and in all discernment.

00:28:36.309 --> 00:28:42.949
And then in Colossians 1, verses 3 and 4, we give thanks to the God and Father

00:28:42.949 --> 00:28:46.549
of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you since we heard of your faith

00:28:46.549 --> 00:28:50.769
in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints.

00:28:51.049 --> 00:28:55.369
And it's interesting in 1 Thessalonians 1, 3,

00:28:56.009 --> 00:29:01.449
2 and 3, we give thanks to God always for you, all making mention of you in

00:29:01.449 --> 00:29:04.629
our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith,

00:29:05.209 --> 00:29:12.089
labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of God and Father.

00:29:13.769 --> 00:29:18.329
In Acts, we have kind of a picture of this. The beginning kind of is mirroring

00:29:18.329 --> 00:29:19.969
the end, it's like a bookend kind of thing.

00:29:20.229 --> 00:29:22.949
So, in the book of Acts, in chapter 4, it says,

00:29:23.997 --> 00:29:27.937
Right after they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Now the multitude, verse 32, 432.

00:29:28.637 --> 00:29:32.917
Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul.

00:29:33.517 --> 00:29:38.317
Neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed were his own,

00:29:38.417 --> 00:29:40.377
but they had all things in common.

00:29:40.837 --> 00:29:46.337
And with great power, this is because of their unity, with great power the apostles

00:29:46.337 --> 00:29:50.977
gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and great grace was upon them all.

00:29:50.977 --> 00:29:55.977
God had given them grace at this moment to knit them together to make a critical

00:29:55.977 --> 00:29:59.157
mass of power and communion and relationship.

00:29:59.177 --> 00:30:04.777
The body of Christ, the church, the remnant, was coming together at this moment.

00:30:05.257 --> 00:30:09.617
And since then, it's been attacked on every hand with every kind of device the

00:30:09.617 --> 00:30:11.337
devil could come up with,

00:30:11.437 --> 00:30:14.757
including counterfeiting the message of Jesus Christ,

00:30:14.757 --> 00:30:21.337
or preaching half of it or creating a whole counterfeit system of religion to

00:30:21.337 --> 00:30:26.937
pull people who love God into a pit of works and despair and depression.

00:30:27.297 --> 00:30:31.257
But the thing is, I believe as it was in the beginning, they were kind of in

00:30:31.257 --> 00:30:36.117
their little tight-knit groups, but eventually God had us say, get out of here.

00:30:36.257 --> 00:30:38.757
We got to get you spread out in the world. You can't just stay here and hang

00:30:38.757 --> 00:30:41.577
out and have fun because there's work to be done.

00:30:41.857 --> 00:30:47.657
And so I believe that even now, as we might look to find our tribe, so to speak.

00:30:47.997 --> 00:30:52.097
Our tribe is in Christ Jesus. Our tribe is in the Holy Spirit.

00:30:52.297 --> 00:30:57.997
And as you go out, as God sends us out into our individual paths to find the

00:30:57.997 --> 00:31:00.917
people going to the marketplace, going to the square, going to the this and

00:31:00.917 --> 00:31:06.737
that, that we will find God's people also there doing what they've been called to do.

00:31:06.857 --> 00:31:14.417
And so just be diligent and recognize the true love and compassion that identifies

00:31:14.417 --> 00:31:19.897
us as genuine, and then we will not be deceived by everything else that's a

00:31:19.897 --> 00:31:21.157
lookalike and counterfeit.

00:31:21.337 --> 00:31:23.297
Interesting that the Apostle John.

00:31:23.970 --> 00:31:27.330
And his brother James, Jesus called them sons of thunder.

00:31:27.470 --> 00:31:31.170
They were pretty hot-tempered. They wanted to call fire down on the Samaritans

00:31:31.170 --> 00:31:33.070
that rejected the message of Jesus.

00:31:33.690 --> 00:31:40.290
But what happened is basically John hung out with Jesus very closely,

00:31:40.290 --> 00:31:43.190
and he became the apostle of love.

00:31:43.810 --> 00:31:52.670
And he talks about that. We read from John 13, 34 and 35 about the new commandment.

00:31:53.130 --> 00:31:57.090
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you have love one for another.

00:31:57.310 --> 00:32:00.230
And he became really the apostle of love.

00:32:00.370 --> 00:32:06.090
And it's interesting, Marjorie, that the apostle of love got the greatest revelation.

00:32:06.830 --> 00:32:13.070
He's the guy that gave on the Isle of Patmos, Death Island, he received the revelation.

00:32:13.290 --> 00:32:18.070
Now, we know the book of Revelation because he had that intimacy with the Lord.

00:32:18.230 --> 00:32:22.850
He was the apostle of love. And the more we are apostles of love,

00:32:22.990 --> 00:32:27.310
one sent forth with love, the more revelation and understanding we're going

00:32:27.310 --> 00:32:32.450
to get about not only who the Lord is, but what we are to do and what's going on in the world.

00:32:32.630 --> 00:32:36.910
I want to just read this in 1 John 4, 7 through 11.

00:32:36.970 --> 00:32:41.510
Beloved, let us love one another, For love is of God, and everyone who loves

00:32:41.510 --> 00:32:43.490
is born of God and knows God.

00:32:43.830 --> 00:32:47.350
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

00:32:47.670 --> 00:32:53.170
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent his only

00:32:53.170 --> 00:32:57.610
begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

00:32:58.030 --> 00:33:04.390
And this is love. Not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son

00:33:04.390 --> 00:33:10.470
to be the propitiation for our sins, the sacrifice for our sins.

00:33:11.230 --> 00:33:16.550
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

00:33:16.790 --> 00:33:20.750
So here, to wrap it all up, again, in the last days when there's mega deception

00:33:20.750 --> 00:33:24.670
everywhere and people saying they're of Christ and go over here,

00:33:24.750 --> 00:33:28.450
go over there, they're preaching, there's false teachers, false apostles. We're looking at fruit.

00:33:29.030 --> 00:33:32.190
Jesus said, by their fruits, you shall know them. But we're also looking at

00:33:32.190 --> 00:33:37.430
the heart, the intentions of the heart And finally, it's all summed up in cutting

00:33:37.430 --> 00:33:42.750
through all the deception, the treachery, the lookalikes, even the plots of the enemy.

00:33:42.890 --> 00:33:51.450
It all kind of settles down source out to John again, 13, 35, by this, by this.

00:33:52.120 --> 00:33:55.360
How? How are we going to know the true from the false? How are we going to know

00:33:55.360 --> 00:34:00.860
the true guys, the true from the liars and the deceivers and the treacherous one? By this.

00:34:01.520 --> 00:34:06.280
All, all will know that you are my disciples. Even the bad guys are going to

00:34:06.280 --> 00:34:07.320
know that you're his disciples.

00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:11.700
If you have love for one another. By the love that we have for one another,

00:34:11.700 --> 00:34:16.880
we are going to shine as lights in the very dark and darkening and becoming darker world.

00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:21.040
It's going to get a little darker out there, but the light shines brighter when it's darker.

00:34:21.220 --> 00:34:23.760
So how do you do this? How do you stay in that place of love?

00:34:23.860 --> 00:34:26.880
Well, first of all, you have to ask the Lord for love, I believe.

00:34:27.160 --> 00:34:31.480
Stay in His Word and walk in the Spirit as opposed to the soul.

00:34:31.780 --> 00:34:35.980
Don't use your soul software to try to figure things out because the heart,

00:34:36.140 --> 00:34:39.380
which is part of the soul software, is full of adulteries and fornications and

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:41.540
foolishness and lasciviousness and an evil eye.

00:34:42.080 --> 00:34:45.700
Don't use your heart to try to figure things out. Don't use your mind because

00:34:45.700 --> 00:34:47.520
it's been programmed by the ways of the world.

00:34:47.520 --> 00:34:53.860
Go flip over to your spirit software, a spirit software where God's Spirit is

00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:56.860
bearing witness with your spirit and using the Word and the power of the Holy

00:34:56.860 --> 00:34:58.980
Spirit to bear witness to you as to what the truth is.

00:34:59.080 --> 00:35:04.680
And if you are in the Spirit, you will have the fruits of righteousness, peace, and joy.

00:35:05.020 --> 00:35:09.460
And so when you have those peace, righteousness, and joy, that's the antidote for anxiety.

00:35:09.580 --> 00:35:13.600
That's the antidote for sickness and illness and infirmity and inflammations.

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:20.720
And peace is the antidote, the thing that we crave and covet in this crazy,

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:24.640
insane, anxious, fearful world, the peace of God.

00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:28.600
So, Father, we pray that the peace of God, which goes beyond understanding,

00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:30.660
will keep us in the love of Jesus Christ.

00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:34.160
And because you love us, Lord, you'll give us the love that we need,

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.120
the wisdom we need, the resources we need, the influence, the power,

00:35:39.580 --> 00:35:44.160
the opportunities that we need, to love others, and that even in these very

00:35:44.160 --> 00:35:48.200
dark days, Lord God, we will be more than conquerors, and you'll cause our lights

00:35:48.200 --> 00:35:53.920
to so shine before men that they will see you through us, Father God.

00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:58.780
And we thank you again for blessing us with 500 years, no, 500 shows.

00:35:59.140 --> 00:36:02.440
500 years. 500 years of a rescue radio.

00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.260
Sometimes it feels like, well, maybe it's 500 years, but anyway.

00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:10.660
So thank you guys for joining us and share this, if you will, with others.

00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:14.660
Again, we bless you with the love of Jesus Christ. Be strong in the Lord and

00:36:14.660 --> 00:36:16.440
in the power of His might. Amen.

00:36:16.720 --> 00:36:22.480
And we appreciate your prayers so much for us as we minister with Rescue Radio

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:23.700
and a lot of other things.

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:29.200
And so, again, I just want to mention that we have a lot of resources for you today.

00:36:29.669 --> 00:36:33.329
There's so many things, it's hard to say. I was thinking, what would be the

00:36:33.329 --> 00:36:37.289
number one book that you would recommend to our listeners today?

00:36:37.469 --> 00:36:41.209
And I got to thinking, well, I kind of answered my own question.

00:36:41.209 --> 00:36:43.749
It's whatever your need is.

00:36:43.989 --> 00:36:48.649
You know, if you're struggling with family relationships, there's doing relationships God's way.

00:36:48.949 --> 00:36:50.909
You know, understanding the spiritual

00:36:50.909 --> 00:36:54.749
warfare. There's taking the devil to court and spiritual warfare.

00:36:55.449 --> 00:36:59.529
Yeah. So many resources. If you have a lot of questions, and I think people

00:36:59.529 --> 00:37:03.029
do, about why did God, where was God?

00:37:03.129 --> 00:37:05.429
Why did God let this happen? This isn't fair.

00:37:05.809 --> 00:37:08.909
The case for justice will really settle a lot of your questions.
