Speaker 1: soul to sneak up on me with his evil designs.

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Thank you that as I keep my gaze on you,

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: the enemy cannot come near me. He can't stand my

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: worship of the One True Living Lord and flees from

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,760

Speaker 1: forty three, verses eighteen through nineteen, from the King James's version.

28
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things

29
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now

30
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it. I

31
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers

32
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: in the desert. Now take a moment to pour out

33
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: your adoration to God. I praise you Lord, for every

34
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: good thing given and every perfect gift is from above.

35
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: It comes down from You, the Father of Light, with

36
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. You alone

37
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: are good, and your loving kindness lasts forever. I will

38
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: bless your name, for your word is true and eternal.

39
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: God can transform your life, no matter where you are

40
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: or what has happened. God can change your reality. God

41
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: promise to make a way where there is none, to

42
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: create rivers in the midst of deserts. You do not

43
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: have to live bound to past sins, neither those made

44
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: by you nor those done to you. It matters not

45
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: where you find yourself today. God can shape your future

46
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: into something amazing. Reflect for a moment on your current

47
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: state and life. Are you stuck living life in the past,

48
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: or perhaps you find yourself going through an emotional desert.

49
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: God sees you and he wants to make old things new.

50
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Confess your situation to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit

51
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: minister to your soul. Take a moment now to dwell

52
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: on God's promise of transformation. God, I thank you that

53
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: your word is eternal. I thank you because you have

54
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: an amazing future in store for me, that I do

55
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: not have to live restricted and limited by past mistakes.

56
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: I thank you that you have provided a way for change.

57
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: Now recollect past situations where God renewed and restored you.

58
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,559
Speaker 1: Thank Him for giving you hope for the future. Thank

59
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: God for the blessing of past seasons of newness of life.

60
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: Thank Him for his promise of something beautiful to come.

61
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Do not forget God is present and he is listening

62
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: to you. You can have a fulfilled and rewarding life.

63
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: God has planned good things for you, So take advantage

64
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: of this moment to reach out to him. Ask the

65
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to turn your dry and desolate heart into

66
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: a verdant oasis. Ask Him to create a path in

67
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: the wilderness for you, to open a door that has

68
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: been closed. Ask God to change your way of thinking,

69
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: to open your eyes to what He can do for you. Remember,

70
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: God has already promised you transformation. He wants to give

71
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: you a new perspective, a new outlook, and a new life.

72
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: You just have to reach out to Him and accept it.

73
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: Do not dwell on or be discouraged by past situations.

74
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Your life can and will change for the better. Look

75
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: to Christ and find the confidence to pursue a better

76
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:30,000
