i'm pastor stephen brooks welcome today
to our wednesday morning
midweek bible study called morning glory
praise god
i'm happy to greet you today from studio
a
now our normal recording session
in the morning glory studio is actually
in
the process right now of being refreshed
and so some changes are being made over
there and i'll be back over there in
that studio
like i normally am on the middle of the
week just as soon as those changes are
complete
i would like to say thank you to
everybody
who has been sewing into that special
project called
studio refresh as we are refreshing
first the morning glory studio
and then next we'll come over here and
do some things here
so today i can speak to you from this
place and i'm happy to be able to do so
now we're going to be today in the book
of isaiah
chapter 54. let's drop down the verse
17 and talk about operating
with genuine
straight from heaven authentic inside
information let's pray heavenly father
as we jump into your word and study
this amazing statement this promise that
you made to your people to us
found here in the book of isaiah we ask
that we will take this
promise to heart and carry it with us
everywhere we go knowing that we have
inside information thank you father
in jesus name amen let's talk about this
inside information today
verse 17 no weapon formed against you
shall prosper why don't you say that
just for a moment and personalize it
say no weapon formed against me
shall prosper now
during this current time there are so
many weapons that are out there
that are formed by the adversary
that are implemented through evil people
that would have the direct intention
and purpose to create harm and hurt
in your life but nevertheless even with
all of these weapons
whether there are economic and financial
weapons
which we are aware of you understand
there
are people in america
that would be thrilled to see the
economy
collapse now you think what sense would
that make if you're an american because
if it goes down you go down with it but
there are people that are so deluded
in their thinking and in their
ideologies
that they actually want to see the
country uh
fall apart it reminds me of the old
story
of the turtle and the scorpion
they were on the island but the
volcano on the island was about to
explode
and then everything on the island was
going to be destroyed here comes the
you know the magmas already flowing out
hot lava
so the turtle's like well this is no
problem i can just you know crawl over
here to the ocean and start swimming
this is not a
issue for me but the scorpion said wait
you need to take me with you
and the turtle very wisely said no i i
don't trust you
i've heard bad things about you that you
hurt people that you lie
that you don't have a good heart oh the
scorpion said oh no
oh no you can trust me i i i won't do
anything wrong or bad to you
so the turtle with uh a great deal of uh
trust uh based upon uh you know just
wishful thinking
says okay you can get a ride climb
aboard climb up on my shell
get on my back and i will get you off of
this island with me
and so the turtle
with the scorpion on the back of his
shell leaves the island
gets out into the water starts swimming
and gets quite a ways away where it
looks like they're going to be safe
there's some other land in the distance
maybe they can make it too
but way out there in the middle of the
water the scorpion
suddenly stings the turtle right on the
back of the neck
with a death blow just stings him real
bad
and as the turtle is beginning to lose
his life
and things are beginning to blur and
fade out he
musters the courage and the strength to
ask a question just before he dies
he turns his head around to the scorpion
and said
why did you do that now we're both going
to die
and the scorpion said i know but i can't
help it
it's just what i do
and that's the way the devil is you
would think these things that are being
done or insanity
they are because they are being carried
out
through people that are directly under
the influence
of satan nevertheless nevertheless
no weapon formed against you shall
prosper whether it's an economic weapon
or whether it's a weapon that
maybe it's not a nuclear warhead but
it's something
cooked up and developed with bad science
as we would say
where these scientists get together and
they are basically waging various forms
of biological warfare
and they can take these things and then
plant them into strains of
certain types of diseases colds and flus
and
they can release these types of things
but it doesn't matter
no weapon formed against you shall
prosper you've probably noticed that in
order for this
promise to activate in your life you're
going to have to believe it
but when you believe it and stand on it
a force field is formed around you
of divine protection and the enemy has
no
legal authority to come through that to
touch your life
no weapon formed against you shall
prosper
this would even include the danger
dangerous area of
natural disasters because as you know
if you live on the west coast you have
the earthquakes
and they say the big one's coming sooner
or later they've already had some big
ones i
i know what it's like i lived in
southern california for 10 years and
it's a very uh unusual situation
whenever you feel
the land moving underneath your feet but
guess what
here in north carolina we had the
largest earthquake
on this side of the coast that we've had
in 100 years
and uh you know our home is only a few
miles from the
church offices here and i felt that
shaking the home it felt like
the washing machine you know when you
leave the washing machine on and it gets
out of balance
and it starts spinning kind of crazy and
you have to unplug it
you know because something got
unbalanced on the load uh so but if that
happens it starts shaking the washroom
well something was shaking the whole
house i thought kelly left the washer on
and it had gotten out of spin cycle well
it took me about five seconds to realize
no that's not a washing machine this is
an earthquake
so uh you know where wherever you live
even in the midwest then you've got the
tornadoes and uh the softball-sized hail
that comes down
or down in miami uh in florida places
like that you have the hurricanes
but no weapon formed against
you shall prosper i'm not saying there
won't be weapons
weapons uh that the enemy would use
these various things but when you
know that god is a covenant keeping god
that he watches over his word to perform
it he
will deliver you now i can't speak for
those that don't have a covenant with
god
and i also cannot speak for the
christians who don't believe the
promises of god
um and when events begin to unfold
it's not the time to start saying
where's that verse that in the bible
about
no weapon formed uh what's that what
scripture in the bible that book
psalm 23 the lord's my shepherd where's
all that stuff at
and you don't you don't even know what
it is uh
look when things get tough it's not the
time to suddenly say
i need to start believing you need to be
in faith
daily you need to be grounded in the
word walking with god
and you'll see that that shield is up
and god is with you and that he will
always provide a means of escape
or a way of deliverance or some type
uh look he'll even take you into the
miraculous if he needs to
he'll move you into the miraculous and
uh do things
that are unexplainable but god will
take care of you whoo praise the lord
no weapon formed against you shall
prosper thank you lord jesus lord is
good
the lord is good now
just recently we had
the explosion there in beirut
lebanon where the city
being a port city with a very large
beautiful harbor there was a ship parked
there for a long time i guess i should
say dock there right let's use the right
technical terms for the mariners that
are out there the ship
docked in the harbor i believe it was
from russia somewhere like that
anyhow got it got kept there for a long
time
and it shouldn't have been kept there
the experts say that anytime you store
that type of explosive material
you have to have it at least five miles
away
from any type of area where there are
people
at and especially if you have a ship
full of it
it probably should be about 50 miles
away from any
living human or person matter of fact
i've been told that
when there are situations like the
material
that the the explosive material on that
ship
that when something like that is found
and it's already
cooking that even the
explosive experts the bomb detonating
squads they won't go in there
the only thing you can do when it
reaches that point where this the
smoke's coming up
you have to go ahead and let it blow up
if you try to stop it there's no
scientific way to stop it once that
stuff begins to do what it does
and when it went off when we saw the
images in the videos
it was quite an explosion but you have
to understand
that when you walk with the lord
and your heart is in tune with god
now listen to this and you take hold of
the scriptures
and believe them i'm here to tell you
that god's word god's promises
will work for you regardless
of your skin color regardless
of your race regardless of your
educational background
regardless of how little money you make
or how much money you make
none of those things have any bearing on
your faith in god
god's word will work for anyone anywhere
who chooses to believe it can you say
amen praise god here is a testimony
from pastor saeed deeb
of life center church right there
in beirut lebanon now listen very
brief little story that i want to read
to you
of what took place in his life on that
day
pastor saeed deeb of life center church
in beirut
said the day of the massive explosion a
strange
feeling came over him
look you have to understand that
because you belong to the lord and the
holy spirit
lives on the inside of you and one of
his assignments
is to make sure that no weapon that's
out there that's formed against you
is going to prosper against you he the
holy spirit will give you inside
information
to protect you to guard you not just you
your family perhaps even many of your
friends are loved ones
he said a strange feeling came over him
a combination
of anxiety anger and sadness
that shook him to the core he said he
prayed with this staff
but didn't get a breakthrough and
couldn't shake the feeling
that something bad was going to happen
ah
that's very very important when you
can't shake it or when you can't as we
say
pray through then it means it's
something that you can't pray through
something's going to happen something's
coming but it doesn't mean that you need
to be a victim
or an accidental statistic okay
here's what happened he said i don't
know why
i was so rude i told everyone
go home go home just close the center
but people said how come we came a long
way
we have commitments we have meetings i
said i don't know why
but please go home and come back on
sunday
and it was a tuesday afternoon he said
so pastor deeb sent his entire staff of
34 people home
and canceled all children's bible
classes
after sensing something terrible was
about to happen
what is that that's inside information
um that is the holy spirit
living on the inside of the born again
believer giving you inside information
to things he knows because trust me
he knows everything he knows everything
and the holy spirit is trying to protect
you
and when you believe isaiah 54 7
he is going to confirm that word and
perform it
in your life so it is imperative that
you and i cooperate
with him when he is endeavoring to
perform
this word in our lives
thank you jesus
thank you lord jesus so pastor the eve
sent his entire staff of 34 people home
and canceled all children's bible
classes after sensing something terrible
was about to happen
it was as if the holy spirit is saying
go go go go so i was saying
everybody go home turn off the computers
forcing them to leave i was forcing them
and they said
we're cooking we're cooking food for the
refugees and for the poor
and i said today cancel everything put
it in the fridge
they were thinking i lost my mind but
they didn't know
and i didn't know it was the holy
spirit's
prompting
life center church beirut sits only
about a mile from the explosion
epicenter
he says the blast blew out the windows
and doors
to the 4 000 square meter facility and
would have surely taken lives if anyone
had been there
more than 200 people lost their lives in
that explosion
thousands were injured and tens of
thousands are now without homes but
pastor de ebe says he has seen the
church
come together now more than ever before
on behalf of
beirut
god protected him and all of his people
people
believers christians would have died if
this pastor
would have not stood his ground and
would have continued to go with that
deep inner urging
to just shut it all down and get out of
there
this is very very important that we
understand this no weapon
not even a bomb sitting on a gigantic
ship
out there in the harbor not even this
when i say a bomb
this was these chemical materials that
are you know cooking
well not even that
not even that could hurt the people of
god because god
got up out of the area
thank you jesus and the holy spirit can
move upon you
as well now remember he moves to the
inside this pastor said he felt like
an anxiety in the sense like i've got a
you know
something's wrong something's wrong then
it got to the point go
go go get out of here
and my friends we need to be attentive
to that because that is the holy spirit
often protecting us from the weapons
that the enemy has formed and some
things are
maybe you could say not engineered in a
way to hurt people but yet there
there are there are formulas for
accidents
you stack a bunch of bad decisions all
together what's going to happen
something usually tragic before a plane
crashes
and it's very very rare for an airplane
to ever crash
but for an airplane to crash there's
usually a whole bunch of wrong
things that are done in consecutive
order
and when you line all of these silly
things
wrong things or bad choices all up
then you have a domino effect that
eventually
you can't overcome a multitude of things
that were done wrong
and so an accident can happen or
something like that but usually it's
when
uh what we would call maybe like a
perfect storm of all kinds of bad stuff
coming together
um well even if something should be
accidental
not planned to harm or hurt god can
still deliver and protect you from that
as well as those things that are planned
through satanic strategy to
hurt humanity and particularly to hurt
the church and the people of israel
no weapon formed against you shall
prosper no
weapon formed against you shall prosper
now on 9 11 the
date that we're all familiar with when
the twin towers
came down and several thousand people
lost
their lives afterwards when things kind
of settled a little bit
and people were able to you know kind of
begin to rebuild and so forth
the testimonies began to come in of the
many christians
who loved god now these aren't what we
would call
super elite prophets you know no these
are normal people
that are christians that just love the
lord
that have a sensitivity to the holy
spirit and it was astonishing
how many of them testified that on that
day when they woke up and
had their coffee and drank ate their
breakfast that the holy spirit just
moved on them in such strong
unusual way to call in today and take
the work
to take the day off don't call in and
lie and say you're sick when you're not
sick
but call in and just say you know what
i'm going to stay home today and take
the day off
why are you doing that you know i don't
really know but i just feel like today i
need to take the day off and
maybe you know take my dog for a walk or
you know spend time with my family
and they didn't go into work and that
was the day
the towers came down and if they had
gone
and they had overridden that very very
strong
holy spirit guidance to stay home they
would have perished
but they were able to pick up on that
something's not right about going to
work today
and see with the holy spirit he doesn't
always tell you why
to go or don't go or to get out he
doesn't always tell you the reason
he just will give you the impulse to
obey right now
so you have to be obedient and just do
what he wants you to do and then later
so often later the understanding for
that urgency it's you know
clearly understood praise the lord
fascinating how the lord is able to
protect us
against these various weapons that the
enemy would form to hurt
to kill he's god is able to protect us
and shield us from that
now we cannot stop the fact that these
various
weapons are formed and they can be
implemented and released through human
agency
but even with those things taking place
god is bigger and if god be force
who can be against us and if god before
us what can be against us
god is able to take care of his own
but you must use your faith believe god
for protection believe god that no
weapon that's formed against you shall
prosper
it's not going to work the enemy's plans
against your life they're not
going to work woo hallelujah
praise god the shields are up the
protection is there
the means of deliverance is there the
path of safety and rescue
is established for you
praise the lord let's look at another
example
that took place in
indonesia in 2004
during that terrible tsunami
that came so fast due to the
giant earthquake that was you know out
there in the indian ocean
and it caused those underwater waves to
care to go 500 miles per hour that's how
fast those
waves were moving then that shock wave
was moving and so it
turned uh for those that were on the
coast what it does is it turns the ocean
into like a river
that rushes in and this happened
during that terrible tsunami in 2004 in
indonesia but there are
those whom god spoke to and protect it
now here's an example
and i would like to read this one to you
praise the lord in the village of
batagan
which is in the orisa district
just four kilometers from
the sea there were just two buildings
that were made
of concrete a church and the rich man's
house
the rest of the buildings were straw and
clay
people rushed into the two buildings for
shelter
about 300 people both christians
and non-christians jammed into the
church
they cried out to the lord for his
protection
at around 11 a.m a massive tidal wave 30
feet high
slammed into the village instantly
destroying the shacks
and sweeping away the rich man's house
witnesses inside the church say the wave
seemed to split and go around both
sides of the church building all 300
people
who had taken shelter inside the church
survived
all the people in vatagon village
confessed that
god had graciously saved their lives
the hindus declared they would never
again
oppose christianity and it says
in a little footnote this news comes
from having emailed and having gotten
written confirmation that this actually
took place that this church is real and
these events took place
uh by a ministry called asia harvest
they confirmed it
and they even confirmed it through paul
haddaway who was the co-author of the
book called the heavenly man
if you don't have the book called the
heavenly man
in your personal library you need to
order that
this week okay try to add that to your
library
again i i like downloadable books
because they're fast
and you can get any book just download
it on your you know your
your tablet or whatever you're using but
i always prefer
real books that i can hold in my hand
you would enjoy that book so
uh paul hathaway who co-authored that
book was actually over there in asia and
he confirmed yes that's true that church
is there
and all the witnesses in that village
say yes this actually happened
praise the lord so the wave that was
running in front of that tsunami river
30 foot tall wave split and went around
the church
swept everything else away all 300
people
protected and kept safe
praise the lord no weapon
well pastor stephen that doesn't include
tidal waves
no weapon pastor stephen that doesn't
include tsunamis
no weapon pastor stephen that doesn't
include earthquakes
no weapon formed against you
shall prosper i don't care if the weapon
is formed by mother nature gone wild
because of you know they're sin in the
earth and sin
causes the the earth to groan
and to moan because of all the awful
things that are done in it
and so it causes the weather to do crazy
bizarre stuff
stuff that it never did in the garden of
eden and stuff that it'll never do
during the one thousand year reign of
the lord jesus christ in the future
but right now crazy things can happen
with the weather
and we have trust in god's word
that regardless of what that is we will
be
protected by the lord's goodness praise
the lord he's able
to protect you anywhere any place
regardless of the great
dangers that would surround you i know
that here in america
people see the riots and the looting and
they see
thugs and uh really people now that are
even armed with weapons and guns
that go out and do lawless acts
and you know you have to understand why
that stuff is there
and that stuff is real when you walk
with the lord
the lord will still protect you and if
you will trust his word
no weapon regardless of all that stuff
that's out there no weapon formed
against you will prosper it's not going
to work against you
hallelujah god has a million ways to
protect you he can make you invisible
he can he can make you uh
non-interesting though they just pass
you by they don't see you there's all
kinds of ways he can protect you or they
just shoot and miss
you know there's a million ways god can
protect you i have a friend
a pastor friend in nigeria who lives in
the northern area of nigeria
where they're under that pressure of the
persecution
of boko haram and boko haram is very
well armed with ak-47s you have to
understand the ak-47 can shoot
a bullet through a tree that's this
thick
and you can think well i'll stand behind
the tree well that gun's so powerful
it can shoot a bullet right through that
a tree that thick so
and these people the you know boko haram
uh they're really out
as acting as radical
islamists to overthrow all the
christians
and to see sharia law implemented all
across nigeria
but thank god for the church that knows
the promises of protection and my friend
that lives in that area has been
protected he his family his church
and uh the the the awful things
that happen out there uh of lawlessness
this this is stuff that's way beyond the
police department's ability to protect
you
this is stuff that's evil but yet god
protects his
people god gives means and ways of
escape
wow praise the lord now
one prophet from africa
uh i he had spoken the week before i got
to this one church the minister
i came the next week and the pastor was
telling me about what happened to him
when he was in i believe it was sierra
leone
and that was a nation at that time that
was just in total pandemonium
lawlessness corruption
uh everything gone wild each man for
himself
and so yet he was a pastor he was
serving the lord
and he was praying for protection for
the spiritual flock that god has
had assigned him to and of course for he
and his family and things like that
but he talks about the day where he told
his people to get out
because you know the the radical muslims
are coming and they're coming to kill
they're coming to kill so get out and
then after they're done and they
do whatever they're going to do and they
clear out and go somewhere else then
we'll come back
well uh he was so busy getting everybody
out that he was the last one out
but he didn't get out in time when they
showed up jumped off the truck with
their guns and uh
all of that stuff and one of the one of
the soldiers
uh of this uh you know paramilitary
rebellious group
comes up to him with you know with a gun
but also a machete
a machete this long and he lifts it up
and he's gonna
he's gonna cut the pastor right down in
half from the top
he's gonna hit him on the head and cut
him all the way through and right when
he brought the machete down
instantly the pastor was translated he
was translated from that spot physically
to another location and it happened so
fast that when he
when he just blinked he was in a very
nice hotel
and he was in the ballroom area of the
hotel a reception area
and a waiter was walking up to him with
the tray
on his hand and brought it down and said
sir would you like some
orders you know they had all the snacks
and things like that and that you know
had some drinks and stuff like that
trust me he did
he needed a refreshment i'm just telling
you
that our god is well able to protect us
from anything that's
out there
hallelujah now those who don't know the
lord who have no covenant with god
who are outside of the covenants they're
on dangerous ground
and anything can happen to them at any
moment
but not you no weapon formed against you
shall prosper now here's another story
this one's pretty recent
this one is 2018
and uh this testimony was taken on
october 1
2018 and here we have another scenario
uh over there in indonesia because uh
that's a hot zone
for tsunamis and earthquakes i've been
to
jakarta what a beautiful city and
indonesia
what a beautiful country so
listen to this story the holy spirit
prompted a christian pilot airline pilot
to speed the departure of his
batik air flight from palu carrying 140
passengers
narrowly averting a potential disaster
with the loss of many lives here's the
story
the epicenter of a powerful 7.5
magnitude earthquake struck friday
september the 28th in a mountainous area
of central
sulawesi 48 miles from the ventral
capital of palu only minutes later
underwater landslides apparently
triggered a massive 10 to 20 foot
tsunami
that swept through palu and other
coastal areas
the waves were intensified by palus
location at the end of a narrow bay
at least 1200 people perished and
smaller villages in the surrounding area
were entirely swept away
can you can you imagine living there
sleeping at night
knowing that these things are silent
killers they could come in at any moment
and they don't have those you know
tsunami warning systems some of those
things like they have in japan
these places don't have any of that now
this is what the pilot said
all day friday i had been feeling
unsettled
and i didn't know why captain buffalo
recounted at a jakarta church
as he shared his testimony on sunday
september the 30th
now to displace his feelings of unease
captain mephela a strong christian began
to loudly sing worship songs on his
flight
from ujung padang to pelu usually i
only hummed but that day i wanted to
praise the lord as best
i could he said i think you should make
a worship
a cd of worship songs his muslim
co-pilot told him
jokingly when they were about to land at
the palu airport
the wind was unusually strong and he
heard a voice
in his heart directing him to circle
again before landing
the palu airport is squeezed between two
mountain ranges
and some pilots refer to airports
situated in this way as valleys of death
so once again the pilot felt prompted to
be extra careful in the landing
and he recited the 23rd psalm
i may walk through valleys as dark as
death but i won't be afraid you are with
me and your shepherd's rod makes me feel
safe he said after they landed the holy
spirit prompted him once more that he
needed to be
quick he instructed his crew to take a
shorter 20-minute break
before the plane was due to take off for
jakarta
i didn't even leave the cockpit and
requested permission from the control
tower
to depart three minutes ahead of
schedule now watch this
he requested permission to depart three
minutes ahead of schedule he received
approval
for the expedited time for takeoff from
the air control
tower and then what uh with that they
started getting ready to depart
okay he felt such an urgency that
captain mafilla broke with standard
flight procedures
and took over some of the co-pilot's
responsibilities to speed up their exit
the moment arrived for takeoff and
captain mafella barreled down the runway
i don't know why but my hand kept
pushing the lever causing the plane to
speed up as it took off he said
as they sped down the airstrip the
massive earthquake began to strike
palu and both pilots felt the plane sway
noticeably to the left and right the
muslim co-pilot glanced at captain
mafella
with the look of fear in his eyes if i
had taken off three minutes later
i would not have been able to save the
140 passengers
because the asphalt on the landing strip
was moving
up and down like a curtain blowing in
the wind he testified
several minutes after takeoff he
attempted to communicate with the
control tower
but there was no response
the entire control tower collapsed
if he would have waited three more
minutes he couldn't have taken off
the runway as you said was turned into a
ribbon and it began to crack
and split everywhere those on the plane
could look
out the window as they saw the shoreline
and this is what happens before the
giant tsunami comes in they saw the
shoreline completely retreat and go back
out into the ocean now of course when
something like that happens you'll have
the foolish people that run out saying
wow this is cool
we've never seen the ocean floor
explodes exposed like this
no if you ever see something like that
run for your life to the highest point
possibly
in the other direction because it's all
coming back and that's that's what
happens so there's that
there's that pulling out and then
suddenly it
turns and it all starts coming back in
in a massive wall
and it's like the ocean is now turned
into a river surging deep inland
into the country and sadly many people
perished but you know what there were
those there also that god said get to
the high point
god told certain pastors get your church
members to the high point there was a
catholic priest
also but let me jump back to 2004 there
was a catholic priest that god said get
all of your 300 members
and take them to the highest point you
can don't get them all
off of the seashore because all of the
people lived in these little houses on
the seashore
and he went and said we've got to get
we've got to get out of here and they
said oh no we're fine he said no you've
got to get out of here
and he had to demand them it almost
seemed rude get your stuff
and get out of here and when they all
got out of there they got up there and
they watched
as the tsunami came in and everything
they owned
was like 40 to 50 feet underwater and
then swept back out
pulled back out into the depths of the
ocean every single one of them would
have died
so he saved the he saved the entire all
the church members and many others in
the village who listened to him
powerful powerful stuff no weapon
formed against you shall prosper
natural disaster chemical disaster
biological disaster uh a weapon attack
uh uh a economic fallout or meltdown or
whatever
you know uh somebody pushed the red
button nuclear about you know nuclear
stuff's coming hey
god's got protection for you god's got
provision for you
god knows how to take care of his people
now believe him
trust him he's done it over and over the
stories the stories
all the biblical stories of deliverance
god's will able to take care of you
and he's not only able to take care of
you he's able to bless you
in the midst of it praise the lord
and i believe that because you walk with
the lord
you will be that siren you will be that
voice
you will be that voice that says hey
something's not right something's not
right
and you can be the voice of god the
voice of sanity
the the voice of direction and also
these people that were used by god uh
often as they're doing this
especially the pilot he said there was a
supernatural calmness
yes there's you're like burning with
urgency like we gotta go
but also there's like something that's
calmly like
sustaining you so you're not you're not
viewed as somebody who's like a nut
you know you're it's there's a god
urgency
but that can be done with the great uh
collectiveness and composure of yourself
so you know they can tell you're not a
fruitcake going off the handle or the
deep end or something like that
praise the lord thank you lord jesus now
trust the lord
trust the lord i've told you that as we
get closer to this election
uh the enemy the enemy has people that
are
just going to be like ready to uh you
know go bananas
we saw it when president trump was
elected we saw the reaction of people in
rage and people going nuts
why because their satanic agenda
in many ways it meant it was now going
to be prolonged or held off or they
can't do
or implement what they really want to
which we all know what that is
one world government one world religious
system
one world economic system bring the
antichrist on the scene
and skip the and the wicked even satan
knows
scriptures trust me he knows the word
because he can quote it he quoted the
jesus in the temptation
but they want the great harvest that is
prophesied
to somehow be bypassed and just let
things run right into
more of these end time scenarios it's
not going to happen we're going to have
the great harvest
we the church aren't going anywhere
until we get this job done
and while we're going to get it done
we're going to be protected and we're
going to flourish and we're going to be
blessed
right in the midst of anything that
would go on around
us praise god god can park the waters
for you
it might go that way and that way it
might surround you it might go right
past you
but you'll stand there and you'll see
god's hand of protection
upon your life upon your life your
family your children
glory to god and many others that have
enough sense
to listen to a person that has a walk
with god
praise god and they'll hear that they'll
hear that ring there's something about
truth and authenticity that uh you know
there were many
muslims in indonesia when you've had
these various earthquakes
off the uh the coast in the deep ocean
that
sends these tsunamis and these waves
there were many muslims that listened to
the christian pastors
that said high ground get up get up get
up
it's coming and you go you know and you
look over the ocean you don't see
anything
but uh i tell you there were many
muslims that listened and their lives
were spared because they listened to
somebody
that had heard from god praise the lord
so also be aware of
of how rules work in times like this
um the pilot on the plane
sitting there on the runway i mean as i
mean he just took the throttles and
rammed them forward and
you're like we're out of here let's
let's skip all this protocol
check this check that no no no put the
books down everybody put your belts on
we're going you have to be able to do
that
you have to be able to do that um if
you're somewhere and it it's
getting bad hit hit you know stomp floor
that gas pedal
well the pastor's even the light's read
hey if god's with you and god's like go
you better you better go because three
seconds three seconds can be the
difference between
a great testimony uh or going home
to be with the lord prematurely praise
god but i have great confidence
because i know god lives on the inside
of you and he loves you
and you love him that any hot directives
any sizzling inside information oh
you'll get it
you're going to be on it you'll be all
over it
i have no doubt i have no doubt you can
hear from the lord
praise god that's something i found
fascinating with the body of christ
despite our imperfections we're perfect
in him
despite our weaknesses it is true
jesus said my sheep they
hear my voice and that's true at the
very core
we may have uh some differences in
doctrine we may have some differences in
this or that
but at the very core it is true his
sheep hear his voice
and we are his sheep and when he speaks
you'll know
praise god everything's going to be just
fine for you
so that's just a little nugget if
there's times like that
um i i would just say some
normal rules it's out the window well we
have to check protocol no
forget protocol we're going to be gone
get out of here now
praise the lord well you know there's
food cooking forget the food
you know we can cook food later out so
things like that
be predetermined in your heart to react
quickly praise god heavenly father we
thank you for your word
we thank you that no weapon formed
against us regardless of what it is
will prosper will have its effect upon
us it won't work

glory to god you know
the apostle paul was being forced
to go on a boat journey that he didn't
want to go on
but he was a political prisoner
and he was forced to go on the ship and
he said men
i perceive that if we take this trip on
this ship
it's going to lead in disaster you're
going to lose all the cargo
you're going to lose the ship and if we
do this we're all going to lose our
lives
oh no no paul you're not a mariner you
you don't know what you're talking about
and the captain said oh no we're good
everything's fine the owner of the ship
yeah
we're good we need to make some money
let's get this thing moving
and the soldier who was overseeing paul
uh you know the centurion he listened to
the owner of the ship and he listened to
the captain of the ship
and off they went and you know the rest
of the story whew they went on a while
they went on a wild ride like a roller
coaster non-stop
up and down the waves for 14 days you
know roller coasters fun for 10 minutes
try it for 14 days non-stop 14 days up
and down
up and down up and down sideways and all
of that rocking and rolling and heaving
and paul said i perceive this is not
this is not good
how did he perceive in his spirit a
knowing unknowing
now because he is a man of god and he
had a destiny that was not yet
accomplished
god sent an angel and told paul
because of your prayers i'm giving i'm
i'm you know your life is going to be
preserved and also
all the lives of the men on the ship
including the other prisoners
whoo praise the lord powerful
and they got out of it praise the lord
but the ship was destroyed all the cargo
was lost
and they got shipwrecked on a on an
island on malta
fascinating but that inner witness
please don't ever
overwrite it don't ever think well god
would never speak to me he lives on the
inside of you
sure he could speak to you praise the
lord
the inner perception we've been talking
a lot lately about
god living on the inside of you please
be aware of that
and because of that the shields are up
and nothing
nothing that the enemy would try to do
to hurt you is ever going to happen no
weapon will ever
no weapon formed against you will ever
prosper god will speak to you and tell
you what to do every single time
father bless your people in jesus name
amen thanks for watching i'll see you
back next time
bye-bye
