Meet with the Holy Spirit. We 29 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 2: will be meditating on Romans chapter eight, verses thirty eight 30 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: through thirty nine from the King James version. For I 31 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, 32 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor 33 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: height nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able 34 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: to separate us from the love of God which is 35 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: in Christ. Jesus, our Lord, take a moment to pour 36 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: out your adoration to God for his love. Jesus, I 37 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: praise you, my Savior and Redeemer, who is like you, 38 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: who descended to conquer death and ascended to the right 39 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: hand of the Father in heaven. I worship you, for 40 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: your love knows no bounds. There is no power that 41 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: can keep you from me. You move mountains to be 42 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: with me. You leave the ninety nine to find me. 43 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: When I am lost, I praise you for you are 44 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: the good shepherd of my soul. God's love is unconditional. 45 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: God loved you before you knew him. Jesus doesn't love 46 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: you because you are a good person. Whether you spent 47 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: your life doing evil or you spent your life being 48 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: called righteous by others. God knows you for who you are. 49 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: We are all us sinners. When we put our faith 50 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: in Jesus as our savior, we are saved by his grace, 51 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: not by our own merits. There is nothing you can 52 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: do to make God love you more or love you less, 53 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: if such a thing were possible, and salvation would be 54 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: something we earn. Salvation and redemption are given freely by 55 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: Jesus on the basis of his character, not ours. Nothing 56 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: in you can keep God from you. So know that 57 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: you are loved. God is jealous for you. He loves 58 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: you with an unquenchable love. Approach the throne room of 59 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: God with the assurance that you are coming to the 60 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 2: lover of your soul. Pour out your heart before him, 61 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: Confess your sins and trust that He hears you and 62 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: loves you. Take just a few minutes to dwell on 63 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: God's ever present love. Thank Him because you cannot flee 64 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 2: from his love. Thank the Holy Spirit for interceding for you. 65 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 2: Think of the times God has fought for you. Thank 66 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: God for loving you despite your faults and failures. Thank 67 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 2: God that in His grace you will no longer be 68 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: ruled by apprehension or restlessness. Instead, you will overflow with confidence. 69 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 2: You will rejoice as God sings over you. Thank God 70 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: because nothing can separate you from His love. God is 71 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 2: present and He is listening to you. Says ask, and 72 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 2: it shall be given unto you. So ask the Holy 73 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: Spirit to give you his assurance, to know, beyond a 74 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: shadow of a doubt, that you are loved. Ask him 75 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: to be your friend and support in times of need, 76 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: even when you feel like you are alone, when you 77 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: feel you have no one in the world who sees you. 78 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: As impossible as this may seem, God is with you 79 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: even now. Remember, nothing will ever be able to take 80 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: God's love away from you. No matter how powerful you 81 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: might think other forces in the world are, Nothing will 82 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: be able to come between you and God's love. God 83 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: will always be there to guide and support you. You 84 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: must be vigilant and not allow familiar lies to convince 85 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: you that you are alone. Instead, seek God's reassurance in 86 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: his word and watch your life transform. God wants to 87 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: fill your heart with joy and your life with great happiness. 88 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: Trust in Him today.
