1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joeln Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: be a blessing and share it with a friend, reappreciate

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: you and pray for God's very best in your life.

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: Thanks for letting us come into your homes. We are

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: praying for you and your family. While we can't gather

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: in person, I hope you'll stay connected with us throughout

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: the week through social media, our podcast, or any of

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: our online platforms. If you've never visited our YouTube channel,

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: it's the easiest and quickest way to access all these messages.

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: But thanks for being with us. Let's get started with

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: our confession. Say it like you mean it. This is

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: have what it says I have. I can do what

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: it says I can do. Today I will be taught

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert,

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: to you today about the guardian of your soul. When

21
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: we look at all that's going on in the world,

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: it's easy to live worried and afraid. We watch the

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: news and seek conflict between nations, natural disasters, sicknesses, accidents.

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: If that's not enough, now we're dealing with this virus.

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: We think, what if I get sick? What if my

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: business doesn't make it, What if my child has an accident.

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: All these concerns are valid. If you were on your own,

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: you would have a good reason to live worried. But

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: the scripture says you have turned to your shepherd, the

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: guardian of your soul. You're not in this by yourself.

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: You have a protector, a defender, a deliver. The most

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: High God is the guardian of your soul. When he

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: breathed life into you, he didn't just put you on

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: the earth and say good luck. You're on your own.

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: He said, I'm going to guard you. I'm going to

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: push back forces of darkness. I'm going to hide you

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: from enemies. I'm going to shield you from trouble. Psalm

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: ninety one says God will rescue you from every trap

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: and protect you from the fatal plague. You don't have

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: to be afraid of this virus. God has a shield

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: around you. He knows how to keep harm away, and

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: if it does come, he knows how to heal you.

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: He knows how to restore what was taken. He will

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: rescue you from every trap. The enemy doesn't have the

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: final say. Nothing can snatch you out of God's hands.

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: Because you've turned to your shepherd. He's protected you from

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: things you know nothing about. He kept that car from

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: hitting you. He pushed back that sickness. He thwarted plans

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: of the enemy, moved people out of the way that

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: would have been a bad influence. He's been guarding your

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: soul since you were born. If you knew all the

52
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: things he's already kept you from, you wouldn't worry about

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: what you're facing. You would stay in peace, knowing that

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: God has you covered. You're in the palm of his hand.

55
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: You're not at the mercy of fate, bad lock, dreaded disease.

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: You have a guardian, a protector, a God who promised

57
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: he will rescue you from every trap. When my father

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: was a little toddler, barely able to walk, he lived

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: on a farm with his family, and one night he

60
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: wandered away from everyone and fell into a fire. He

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: could have easily been killed, but it just so happened.

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: Someone came walking by and pulled him out. Another fifteen

63
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: seconds and he would have lost his life. That should

64
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: have stopped his destiny. But there is a guardian of

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: your soul. There is a God watching over you that

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: will rescue you from trouble. He will stop the plan

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: of the enemy. Psalm one twenty one says, your guardian

68
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: God is right by your side to protect you. He

69
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: guards you when you leave, and he guards you when

70
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: you return. He guards you now, and he will guard

71
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: you always. You can't go anywhere without your guardian God.

72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: That's why we can live from a place of peace,

73
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: a place of faith, even though there's turmoil all around us,

74
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 2: people worried, panic, stay in peace. It's not a surprise

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: to God. He didn't say we wouldn't have trouble, we

76
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't have to face these things. But he did promise

77
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: he will rescue you from the trouble. He will keep

78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: the fatal plague from taking you out. You don't have

79
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: to live worried about your future, afraid of what could happen.

80
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: God has a hedge of protection around you, a bloodline

81
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: that the enemy cannot cross. When the Israelites had been

82
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: in slavery for many years. God told Moses he was

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: going to bring them out. The way God did it

84
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: was to send plagues on the Phaiah and his people

85
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: that were oppressing them. What's interesting is the Israelites live,

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: but none of the plagus affected them. God sent swarms

87
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: of locusts. They ate up all the Pharaoh's crops, destroyed

88
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: their food supply, but right next door, the Israelites crops

89
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: were fine. I can imagine some of the locusts started

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: to fly toward the Israelites land, but when they got close,

91
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: just like an electric fence, they suddenly turned around and

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: left them alone. This happened with plague after plague, and

93
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: God said in Exodus, I will make a distinction between

94
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: my people and Pharaoh's people. At one point, all of

95
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: Pharaoh's livestock, all of his cattle, suddenly died, but right

96
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: next door, the Israelites livestock was perfectly fine. That's because

97
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: God put a shield around his people. Even though the

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: plague was all around them, he kept it from harming them.

99
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: Like with the Israelites, because you belonged to God, because

100
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: you honor him, he put a distinction on you. What

101
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: will defeat others won't be able to defeat you. When

102
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: business is going down, you're going to go up. When

103
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: others are struggling, you're going to be sorry. That's why

104
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: David said, a thousand may fall at my side, ten

105
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: thousand at my right hand, but it will not come

106
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: near me. David understood this principle that what happened to

107
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: others wasn't going to happen to him. God put a

108
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: distinction on him. Now, I don't mean this arrogantly, like

109
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: we're glad somebody else has difficulty and not us. I'm

110
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: talking about living from a place of faith, knowing that

111
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: you have an advantage. God has a shield around you.

112
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: Psalm ninety one in the message translation says God protects

113
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: you from deadly hazards. Even though others succumb all around you,

114
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: you will stand untouched. You will watch it all from

115
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: a distance because God is your refuge. Evil can't get

116
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: close to you. Harm can't get through the door. You

117
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: may have some things come to the door, but it's

118
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: not going to get in. You're going to come out untouched.

119
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: You're going to watch it all from a distance. You

120
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: remember the rapper mc Hammer. He had a popular song

121
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: called You can't touch this. You need to see yourself

122
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: that way. When sickness comes, instead of accepting it thinking

123
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: I knew this would happen. You need to announce to

124
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: the enemy you can't touch this. I am God's property.

125
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: My body is a temple of the most High. I

126
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: will live and not die when lack and struggle comes

127
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: saying you'll never get ahead, Just announce you can't touch this.

128
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: The favor of God is on my life. I will

129
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: prosper even in a desert. When your children aren't making

130
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: good decisions, they're getting off course. Instead of being depressed

131
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: thinking what did I do wrong, you need to remind

132
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: the enemy you can't touch the As for me and

133
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: my house, we will serve the Lord. My children will

134
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: be mighty in the land. You need to see yourself

135
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: as untouchable to the enemy. And yes, we all have difficulties.

136
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that you won't have to face sickness, opposition, betrayals.

137
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: They may come, but they don't have to stay. You

138
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: don't have to answer the door. Don't open it up.

139
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: Say I knew you'd show up. Come on in, let

140
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: me get you a cup of coffee. Know when it knocks,

141
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: say no thanks, You're not welcome here. Don't accept it,

142
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: don't learn to live with it. Quit calling it my sickness,

143
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: my anxiety, my dysfunction, my addiction. It's not yours. None

144
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: of it belongs to you. It's on foreign territory. Your

145
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: body is a temple of the Most High God. Sickness

146
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: doesn't belong in your temple. Depression doesn't belong in your temple. Fear, addictions,

147
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: lack does it belong there. Stand firm and keep that

148
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: door closed. Yes, things may come. I'm not asking you

149
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: to deny the facts. Act like you don't have a sickness,

150
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: but you don't have to accept it in your mind.

151
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: Don't let it become permanent. Think it is always going

152
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: to be that way. See it as temporary. This too

153
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: shall pass. I have several friends that have contracted the coronavirus.

154
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: They fought the good fight of faith. Now they've come

155
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: through it. When you face a sickness, a bad break, loss,

156
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean you don't have this distinction. You must

157
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: not have enough faith, not at all. The scripture says

158
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: rain falls on the just and the unjust. There are

159
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: times when difficulties come. We're praying, believing, but it didn't

160
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: work out our way. When it rains, don't get discouraged.

161
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: Don't give up on your dreams. God knows what he's doing.

162
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: If you'll keep the right attitude, that rain is not

163
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: going to hinder you. It's going to cause you to blossom.

164
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: The enemy may have meant it for your harm. The

165
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: reason God allowed it is so he can bring you

166
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: out better than you were before. Psalm ninety one starts

167
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: off by saying, if you dwell in the secret place

168
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: of the Most High, you will abide under the shadow

169
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: of the Almighty. The next verse says, I will say

170
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: of the Lord, you are my refuge, my fortress, and

171
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: my God. It's significant that the psalmists didn't just say

172
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to stay in the secret place and that

173
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: will keep me protected. He said, I will say of

174
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: the Lord. What you're saying is going to make a

175
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: difference whether you see God's protection and favor like you should.

176
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: When Joel, I'll probably get this virus. I always have

177
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: bad breaks. I don't think my business are gonna make it.

178
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: My children are never gonna do what's right. You need

179
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: to zip that up. You are opening the door to difficulties.

180
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 2: If you're going to activate this protection. You can't go

181
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,479
Speaker 2: around talking defeat. You have to do like the Psalmist

182
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: and start saying, of the Lord, Lord, thank you that

183
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: you're by protector. Thank you that you're shielding me from

184
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: every plague, rescuing me from every trap. Thank you that

185
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to come out of this untouched. The way

186
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: you're going to see the distinction is by declaring you're

187
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: protected and thanking God that there's a hedge around you.

188
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: David had all kinds of opposition. He had people trying

189
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: to kill him, armies coming against him, His own son

190
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: tried to dethrone him. He could have lived afraid, complaining, God,

191
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 2: you anointed me. Why am I having all these difficulties?

192
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: Now listen to how David talked Psalm twenty seven. The

193
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?

194
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: The Lord protects me from danger. Why should I be afraid?

195
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: When enemies come against me, they will stumble and fall.

196
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Though an army surrounds me, I will remain confident, for

197
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: in the time of trouble, God will hide me. He

198
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: will place me out of reach, high on a rock.

199
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: David knew how to activate this shield. You have to

200
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: thank God for it. You can't go around worried panic

201
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: and expect to see this hedge of protection. In one

202
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 2: Samuel twenty three, David was living on the run from

203
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: King Saul. He had been good to Saul. He was

204
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: his armor bearer, served him faithfully. But Saul was jealous

205
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: of David. He could see the favor on his life.

206
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: He couldn't handle the thought of someone getting more attention

207
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: than him. So, even though David had done nothing wrong,

208
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,119
Speaker 2: Saul was trying to kill him. He was so obsessed

209
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: with it that he chased David again and again through

210
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: the desert. Saul had the most skilled warriors. He had

211
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: people that were specialists in tracking people. Here, David was

212
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 2: a shepherd. He didn't have any special training like Saul's men.

213
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: Surely they could find David, Surely they could capture him.

214
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: Verse fourteen says Saul honted David day after day, but

215
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: God did not let him be found. God knows how

216
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: to hide you from the enemy. He knows how to

217
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: hide you from trouble. He can hide you from the virus.

218
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: He will place you out of reach from the opposition.

219
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: Saul was so frustrated he went back home. Later, some

220
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: of David's men turned on him. They contacted Saul's people

221
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: and gave them David's location and all the details of

222
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: where he was hiding. Saul was thrilled. He said, finally

223
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: someone has had mercy on me. Well, help me get

224
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 2: rid of this man that's trying to take my throne.

225
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: David wasn't trying to take Saul's place. Saul had disobeyed

226
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: and not done what God told him to do, and

227
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: now he was trying to take it out on David.

228
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: When you're doing the right thing, people are coming against you,

229
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: trying to push you out. Don't worry. That's not your battle.

230
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: There's a guardian of your soul. You have a protector,

231
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: a defender. You don't have to fight. Stay on that

232
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: high road and God will keep you out of reach.

233
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: He will hide you when you need to be hidden.

234
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: He's not going to let that adversity stop your purpose.

235
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: Don't live upset, afraid, trying to pay people back. Let

236
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: God be your defender. He knows how to take care

237
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: of the opposition. Saul told these men to go back

238
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: inspire on David, study his movements, find out when he eats,

239
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: when he sleeps where he gets food. Saul was so

240
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: determined to catch David he had them go overboard and

241
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: do this extensive surveillance. David didn't know some of his

242
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: men had betrayed him. He thought he was in a

243
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: great hiding place. But he looked up and saw Saul

244
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: quickly closing in. This time, he was caught. There was

245
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: no way he could escape. Saul was right on the

246
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: other side of the mountain with all of his army,

247
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: just a matter of hour before David would be captured.

248
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: I can imagine David saying, God, I didn't see this coming.

249
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: I never dreamed my own men would turn on me.

250
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: But God, I believe you will rescue me from every trap.

251
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: I know, even when trouble surrounds me, you will bring

252
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: me safely through. When he could have been panicked giving up,

253
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: he kept thanking God for his protection and thanking him

254
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: that he would make a way when he didn't see away.

255
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: Right when Saul was about to give the command to

256
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: make that final push, a man came riding a horse

257
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: as fast as he could. He had an urgent message

258
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: for King Saul. He handed it to him. It said,

259
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: hurry home. The Philistines are attacking our city. Saul called

260
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: off the chase, told his men to turn around and

261
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: go full speed back home. God has ways to protect

262
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: you that you've never thought of. He knows how to

263
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: distract your enemy. He controls the universe. You don't have

264
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: to figure out how it's going to happen. All you

265
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: have to do is believe Lord, Thank you that you're

266
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: my protector. Thank you that you're my defender, thank you

267
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: that you're my waymaker. When you realize the most high

268
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: God is guarding you, then you can say, with David,

269
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: I will fear no evil, not going to fear this virus,

270
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: not going to fear this opposition. I'm not going to

271
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: fear my future. You can stay in peace knowing that

272
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: the God who created the universe is the guardian of

273
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: your soul. Jesus said in Matthew in the last days,

274
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: there will be terrible epidemics, earthquakes, famines, but don't panic

275
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: or give in to your fears. And epidemic is a

276
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: worldwide virus like we're facing today. Didn't surprise God. He

277
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: didn't bring you this far to leave you now. Choose

278
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: to live from a place of faith, not a place

279
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: of fear. When you're in peace. That's a position of power.

280
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: When you know God is in control, you're going to

281
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: be strong. You're going to feel a force sustaining you.

282
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 2: But when you're upset afraid, that's going to drain your energy,

283
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: drain your motivation. Your immune system is not going to

284
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: be as effective as it should be. And there's a

285
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 2: lot of negativity in the world. People are worried, afraid, panic. Now.

286
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: I know the thread is real, but don't let that

287
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: get in you. A ship doesn't sink because of water

288
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: around it. It can be in a huge ocean surrounded

289
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: by hundreds of miles of water on every side. Water

290
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: around it is not a problem. But if that ship,

291
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: let's what's on the outside get on the inside, then

292
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: it's a problem. You can't watch the news all day

293
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: and stay afloat. If you constantly take in negative you're

294
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: going to sink. So to speak. Now, I like to

295
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: watch the news to important to stay informed, But after

296
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, I know what I need. If you leave

297
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: that television on all day, it's going to take us

298
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: six weeks to get you out of that pit. Tune

299
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: it out and tune in.

300
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: To what God says about you.

301
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: Don't let what's on the outside get on the inside.

302
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: The scripture says, think on things that are pure, things

303
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 2: that are wholesome, things that are of a good report.

304
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: Find something to watch that's uplifting, something inspiring. Think on

305
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: things that will build your faith. This is not the

306
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: time to call negative family members and talk about all

307
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: the doom and gloom and how bad it is. That's

308
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: poisoning your spirit. You are feeding your inner person by

309
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: what you're taking in. If you're only feeding it the negative,

310
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: it's going to pull you down. One of the best

311
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: things you can feed yourself is what God says about you. Lord.

312
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: Thank you that my latter days will be better than

313
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: my former days. Thank you that what you started in

314
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: my life you will finish, thinking that you are the

315
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: guardian of my soul. When I first started ministring back

316
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety nine, it was all very new to me.

317
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: I had been behind the scenes for seventeen years. I

318
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: was suddenly thrust in front of a lot of people.

319
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: I never dreamed the ministry would grow and people would

320
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: begin to watch all over the world. Well, with the

321
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: growth and notoriety came opposition and people that weren't for

322
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 2: us On top of that, I had the pressure of

323
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: trying to learn how to minister. I wasn't sure if

324
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: I was good at it. At one point, it felt overwhelming,

325
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: seemed like there was opposition from every side. I wasn't

326
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: sure how things were going to work out. One night,

327
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: I had a dream. It was so vivid I can

328
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: remember it like it was yesterday. I was running through

329
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: this field as fast as I could. There were planes

330
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: flying overhead, very low, dropping bombs all around me. It

331
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: was like it was right out of a war. Moved

332
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: and I could see the bombs falling so close. When

333
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: they did, I would brace and just wait for the

334
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: shrapnel to hit me. The bomb wouldn't be fifteen feet away.

335
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: The explosion was deafening. When it hit, I knew it

336
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: was the end. I was waiting to die. But every time,

337
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: somehow the shrapnel would miss me. This happened four or

338
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 2: five times in this dream. I was amazed that I

339
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: was still alive. I ended up running to this little

340
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: house and I was hiding in this room, very afraid.

341
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: These soldiers came passing by and I could hear them running,

342
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: and I was hoping they wouldn't check the house, praying

343
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: that they would keep going. Then my worst nightmare came true.

344
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: They'd burst in there looking for me. They had their

345
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: guns drawn. I was standing right in front of them.

346
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: I thought, this is it. They found me, It's the end.

347
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: They looked right at me, then turned around and walked out.

348
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: It was like I was invisible. When I woke up,

349
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: I heard God saying, down in here, Joel. Things may

350
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: be exploding all around you, but I have you in

351
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: the palm of my hand. You trust in me, and

352
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: no weapon formed against you will ever prosper. Now, when

353
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 2: things come against me, I'm tending to be worried, afraid.

354
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: I just remind myself God is the guardian of my soul.

355
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: He has a hedge of protection around you, a bloodline

356
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: that the enemy cannot cross. You may feel like bombs

357
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: are exploding around you, things that should stop your business,

358
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 2: damage your family, harm your health. Don't worry. It's not

359
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: going to be what it looks like. Those bombs are

360
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: not going to take you out. It may be loud,

361
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: it seems like you're down. What you can't see is

362
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: the guardian of your soul is shielding you. He's going

363
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: to rescue you from every trap. God knows how to

364
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: make you invisible to the enemy. The same God that

365
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: made blind eyes see can make se and is blind.

366
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: He has all kinds of ways to protect you. That's

367
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: what happened in Second Kings, chapter six. The Syrian army

368
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: came and surrounded Elijah's house. They were upset because God

369
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: kept telling Elijah what the Syrians were going to do.

370
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: What they discussed in secret, God revealed to Elijah that

371
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: way the Israelites always stayed one step ahead of them.

372
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: When the Syrian king found out it was the prophet Elijah,

373
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: he was furious. He sent this huge army to go

374
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: capture him. When Elijah saw them coming, he said in

375
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: verse eighteen, Lord, please make them blind. Elijah went out, said,

376
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: I heard you looking for Elijah. He's not here. You're

377
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: in the wrong city. Follow me and I'll take you

378
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: to him. They didn't know it was Elijah. He led

379
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: this huge army right to the middle of the Israelites camp.

380
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: Then he prayed. Lord opened their eyes and let them see.

381
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: When they realized where they were and how they had

382
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: been captured, they nearly passed out. God has ways to

383
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: protect you that you've never thought of. He can make

384
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: you invisible to that virus, invisible to that person that's

385
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: trying to stop you, invisible to the opposition. You don't

386
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: have to figure it out. All you have to do

387
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: is stay in the secret place, stay close to God,

388
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 2: keep thinking him that he's protecting you, that he's defending you,

389
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: that he's the guardian of your soul. I read about

390
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: a small fish called a Moses soul. It's a little

391
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: flounder that's found in the Red Sea. Also in those

392
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: waters are large sharks. These sharks typically like to eat

393
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: this kind of fish, but in the early seventies, a

394
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: group of researchers noticed something fascinating about this little fish.

395
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: All the other fish in this same category, the same

396
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: size and weight, would be eaten by the sharks, but

397
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: they discovered the sharks weren't eating this particular Moses salt.

398
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: It's because it has a very unique defense system. When

399
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: it's in any kind of danger, it naturally secretes poisonous

400
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 2: toxins out of its glands. These toxins literally caused the

401
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 2: shark's jaws to freeze. It showed a picture of this

402
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: little fish swimming right in the middle of this shark's mouth.

403
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: This shark had obviously come in for the kill. All

404
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 2: he had to do was bite down, and there was dinner.

405
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: The only problem was he couldn't do it. God puts

406
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: something in this little fish to protect it. As long

407
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: as the shark was close, his jaws were frozen. Like

408
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 2: this small fish, God has put something on you that

409
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: will keep the enemy from defeating you. What you're up

410
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: against may seem bigger, stronger, more powerful. Don't worry. It

411
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 2: can't touch you. God has a hedge of protection around you.

412
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: And the way you release these toxins that cause the

413
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 2: shark's jaws to freeze, so to speak, is by thanking God.

414
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: Every time you say Lord, thank you that you're my shield,

415
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: thank you that you're my defender, thank you that you're

416
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: the guardian of my soul, toxins are released that paralyze

417
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: the enemy. Now, don't go around verbalizing your fears. Joel,

418
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm worried about this virus. I'm afraid my child's gonna

419
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: get off course, my business is gonna go downhill. Negative

420
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: talk is like bait. It attracts the enemy. It will

421
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: make things worse. The way you activate God's protection is

422
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 2: with faith filled words. Think about this little fish when

423
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: he's in the shark's mouth. His blood pressure doesn't go up.

424
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: He doesn't go call nine to one one. He doesn't

425
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 2: get depressed and think this is the end. He just

426
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: goes about his business. He knows there's something special about

427
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: him that God ordained from the foundation of the world

428
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: world that he would be protected from those enemies. So

429
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: he just rest in who God made him to be.

430
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: If you can get this down in your spirit, that

431
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: the Most High God is the guardian of your soul,

432
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: He's put something on you that makes you untouchable to

433
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: the enemy. You don't have to go through life worried, afraid,

434
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 2: wondering how it's going to work out. Live from a

435
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 2: place of peace, a place of faith, knowing that your

436
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: guardian God is watching over you. If you'll do this,

437
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: I believe and declare what God promised. He will rescue

438
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: you from every trap, protect you from every plague, make

439
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: you invisible to the enemy because God is your refuge.

440
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through

441
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: the door. You are untouchable in Jesus's name, And if

442
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: you receive it, can you say amen? Today? Well, I'd

443
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the

444
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 2: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

445
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I

446
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that

447
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

448
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: a good Bible based church, and keep God first place.

449
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: Many people believe that God can heal, but when nothing

450
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: is improving our prayers are not being answered, it's easy

451
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 2: to think, will God heal me?

452
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: The truth is God still loves to heal.

453
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: I've witnessed God's healing power firsthand in my own family.

454
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 2: When situations seemed impossible and medically speaking, there were no options,

455
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 2: God stepped in and made away. Now I love to

Speaker 2: send you our new devotional God still loves to heal.
