00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: And it shall come to pass as soon as the

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: souls of the feet of the priests that bear the

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth,

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: come down from above, and they shall stand upon an

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,840

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Sea for the Israelites and the Jordan for the priest

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,040

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: you will go before me and prepare the way. The

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: priest took a step of faith, and as they did,

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the waters stopped and they walked across to the other side.

31
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: be meditating on John chapter fourteen, verse twenty seven from

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: the King James version. Peace. I leave with you my peace.

33
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give

34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither

35
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: let it be afraid. Let us take time to adore God, God.

36
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: I worship you, for you are who you say you are.

37
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I praise you for granting me your unmatched peace, a

38
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: peace that surpasses all knowledge and understanding. I praise you

39
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: for your loving kindness over me. I worship you for

40
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: you are always with me. You never leave nor forsake me.

41
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: I praise you for your care over me in this

42
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: time of need. Grief is one of, if not the

43
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: most difficult emotions to process. Grief can overwhelm the heart

44
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: and paralyze the mind with fear. Jesus can help you

45
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: deal with grief. He offers you his peace. The peace

46
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: of God is different from what the world has. Human

47
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: peace is dependent upon control of circumstances. It requires everything

48
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: to be going well in order for it to be real.

49
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: It is not so with God. Jesus offers a peace

50
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: that will prevail against all odds. It is tranquility in

51
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the storm, a solid foundation amidst shifting sands.

52
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: The peace Christ offers is not contingent on your control

53
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: or your understanding, just her acceptance. His peace is the

54
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: reassurance that no matter what, God is in control. Not

55
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: only is he in control, he has a plan, not

56
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: just any plan. He has the best plan. Because God

57
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: is who he is, His peace reigns supreme. Confess your

58
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: grief to God. He is waiting for you. Let us

59
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: now thank God for his peace. Thank Him for his

60
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: peace that is divine. Thank God that you do not

61
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: have to live under fear. Thank Him for peace in

62
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the healing process. Thank Jesus that in the middle of

63
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: your grief. You have his assurance. Thank him that you

64
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: can trust He will work all things out for good.

65
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: God is present and he is listening to you. He

66
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: cares for you, and he longs to ease your suffering.

67
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: This is your moment to reach out to him. Ask

68
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: God to reassure your heart in this difficult time. Ask

69
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: him to grant you his peace that surpasses all understanding,

70
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: peace that is greater than any circumstance or situation. Ask

71
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit to help you receive this peace and

72
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: to trust in his word. Remember, God promised to give

73
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 1: you of his peace. God's peace is greater than anything

74
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: the world has to offer. It prevails all obstacles and

75
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: triumphs over all fear. Have courage and know that you

76
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: are not alone. God is for you. He will help

77
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: you through this. With God's peace reigning in your heart,

78
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:16,800
