1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 1: Let us pray. Therefore, sent he thither horses and chariots

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: and a great host, and they came by night and

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: compassed the city about Second King six fourteen. As I

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: stand in full confidence, I will not waver nor be

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: afraid when Satan tries to bring enemies to the doorstep

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: of my life to snuff out the flame of my calling.

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: When the numbers of them seem to outnumber me, I

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: will look through the eyes of my faith and remember

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: that the army of the Lord is on my side,

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: with angels and chariots of fire, ready to battle Satan

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: and his spirits on my behalf. Therefore, I will continue

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: to walk boldly and confront them as Alisha did, knowing

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: that because you are on my side, no harm can

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: overtake me. When others choose war, I will choose peace

15
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: because I know you will do more in peace than

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: I ever could fighting on my behalf. Through Second King six,

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: I can see and validate this truth for my life

18
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: in Jesus name, Amen, thank you for making prayer a

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: priority in your day. To learn more about the Bible,

20
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: stay tuned for today's story, brought to you by Bible.

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: In a year dot com blind soldiers. In our last story,

22
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: we learn of Naman's new found love for God and

23
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: desire to bless the people of God. However, Alisha's servant

24
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Kahezei's heart changes for the worse as he descends into

25
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: a cycle of greed and treachery. Now we learn of

26
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: the Aremian armies seeking the head of Elishah. The prophet

27
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: would find himself surrounded by men wanting to spill his blood.

28
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Yet even in the most dangerous circumstances, Elijah was able

29
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: to stand in confidence for God would provide a way

30
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: for his life to be spared. Inspired by the Book

31
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: of Second Kings, Hello, I'm Jack Graham with today's episode

32
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: of the Bible in a year. In our last time together,

33
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: we learned how Naaman responded to being cured of leprosy.

34
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: This Syrian soldier, a general, gave his heart to God,

35
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: ingratitude for the healing that the Lord had provided for him,

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: and he returned to his home country telling of the

37
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: glory of the One True God. We also saw the

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: contrast of Elishah's servant Gohiza, whose heart turned away from

39
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: the Lord in disobedience and greed, and the price that

40
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: he paid for his deceit. Today we'll hear how Elijah

41
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: will find himself in a life threatening situation as the

42
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Aramian army seeks to kill him. Will witness his trust

43
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: in God as he stands firm in face of danger,

44
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: courageous knowing that God will protect him for his purposes

45
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: and plans. Lets now go to God's word once again.

46
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: War spread across the East and Israel was at odds

47
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: with the Kingdom of Aram. The two nations fought all

48
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: throughout the land, switching battlefields. Often blood and ash caked

49
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: the valleys between them, and many lives were lost. The

50
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: King of Aram was fond of ambushing the people of Israel.

51
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: Every week he would mount another attack by placing his

52
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: soldiers in unexpected places. Israel seemed to be outmatched and unprepared. However,

53
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Israel had the Lord of Heaven and Earth on their side.

54
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: The God of Israel would speak warnings to Elisha, informing

55
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: him of where the Aramians were planning to mobilize their troops.

56
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: When the King of Israel was preparing his soldiers for battle,

57
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Elijah would interrupt their strategizing. Do not venture near that place,

58
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: Elisha would say, before the men departed. The Aramians are

59
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: lying in wait for you. There, So the King of

60
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: Israel had an edge over the King of Ram. Each

61
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: day they would dodge another ambush from the enemy. After

62
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: several failed attempts at capturing the Israelite armies, the King

63
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: of arm grew uncontrollably angry. His blood boiled with rage.

64
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: It seemed as though the armies of Israel knew exactly

65
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: where they would be every time. Which one of you

66
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: is the traitor? He yelled at his officers. The king

67
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: was spitting with rage. His eyes were weary and revealed

68
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: a slow descent into madness. Who has been informing the

69
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: King of Israel about my plans? Surely it must be

70
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: one of you, he shouted. The officers trembled with fear

71
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: and concern. They had not betrayed their king. One of

72
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: them spoke up, saying, it is not us, my king,

73
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: it is Elishah, the prophet of Israel. The king looked

74
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: confused and impatient. He tells the King everything, even the

75
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: private things you only speak of in your chambers. The

76
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: King of Ram sat down for a moment. His once

77
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: violent demeanor turned into a slow simmer. He remained silent,

78
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: his officers could see his mind racing as his eyes

79
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: stared into nothing. Go and find where he is, the

80
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: king finally said, then send troops to seize him. The

81
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: king thought he had finally found his enemy. He thought

82
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: that if he captured Elishah, all would be settled. He

83
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: did not know that he was picking a fight with

84
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: God himself. After a few days, a report returned to

85
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: the King of Ram Elishah is at Dothan. The messenger said,

86
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: so the king mounted a great army with chariots and

87
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: horsemen to take the city of Dothan. They rode under

88
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: the cover of night, like a silent storm sweeping through

89
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: the city. They approached the home of Elisha and surrounded

90
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: the entire house with chariots and horsemen. There they waited

91
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: until sunrise so they could see the face of the

92
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: prophet before laying his head on a pike. Night passed

93
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: and the sun was slowly rising above the distant hills.

94
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: The only sound was of birds chirping. One of Elishah's

95
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: servants awoke and looked out the window to see an

96
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: entire army surrounding their home. Troops, horses, and chariots stood

97
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: around the perimeter in perfect stillness, almost like statues. The

98
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: servant ran into his master's bedroom and shook him awake.

99
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: Elisha looked out the window to see the king and

100
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: his men standing outside the house. What are we going

101
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: to do, the young man cried to Elishah. He was trembling,

102
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: and the army outside was beginning to stir. It was

103
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: a truly unsettling sight, but Elishah did not panic. Do

104
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: not be afraid, Elishah said. He placed a comforting hand

105
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: on the boy's shoulder, then gestured to the window. It

106
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: is them who should fear, for there are more on

107
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: our side than on theirs. Look. As Elishah prayed to

108
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: the Lord, the young men looked out the window and

109
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: saw figures on the distant hillside. Thousands of horses and

110
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: chariots blazing in flames, stood at attention. The young man

111
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: was able to see what Elishah saw. The Lord's armies

112
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: were ready to fight for them if need be. Alisha

113
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: kneeled before God and prayed, Lord, make them blind, protect us.

114
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: So the Lord made them blind to who Elisha was.

115
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: As Elishah exited his home, his identity remained hidden from

116
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: the men, so he was able to approach them without

117
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: fear of being captured. My friends, Elisha shouted, you poor souls,

118
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: you have come to the wrong place. This isn't the

119
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: right city to find the prophet. Please let me guide

120
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: you to the man you are looking for. So Elishah

121
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: guided the confused army to Samaria, the capital of Israel.

122
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: The army followed Elishah, still confused as to who they

123
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: were looking for. By the time the lord began to

124
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: open their eyes as to who Elishah was and where

125
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: they were, it was too late. The army had traveled

126
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: into the belly of their enemy, Israel. The King of

127
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Israel and his armies had them surrounded with spears and

128
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: arrows mounted for attack. The Aramian army found themselves completely vulnerable.

129
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: The King of Israel emerged from the group of soldiers

130
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: and greeted Elishah, my father. He shouted, what shall we

131
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: do with them? Shall I kill them where they stand?

132
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Should I spill their blood on the city streets? Of

133
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: course not, Elishah replied with enthusiasm. We are people of mercy.

134
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: We do not kill vulnerable prisoners. Elisha turned to the king,

135
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: who previously hunted his head. The King of Aram looked

136
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: back at Elishah. He could see a true reflection of

137
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: the mercy see of God in his eyes. In that moment,

138
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: the king realized that Elishah's power was not his own.

139
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: He served someone greater. Give them food, drinks, and then

140
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: send them home, Elisha said to his king. Then Elisha

141
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: smiled and left back home. The King of Israel made

142
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: a great feast for the Aramian army, and then they

143
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: were sent home. From that day forward there was harmony

144
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: between the two nations. Mercy had triumphed of a judgment,

145
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: and although God had placed chariots of fire at a

146
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: distance to protect his beloved, ultimately it was an act

147
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: of kindness that brought true peace. As we listened to

148
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: God's word today, we discover that Israel is once more

149
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: at war with a neighbor. This time it is the

150
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: nation of Arum also known as Syria, who intends on

151
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: conquering God's people. But they're having no success in their efforts.

152
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: For you see, God had been speaking to Elisha, telling

153
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: him exactly where the enemy was mounting an attack, and

154
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: so the larger and more formidable army was frustrated each

155
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: time because Israel anticipated their every move little did they

156
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: know that Israel had the Lord of Hosts on their side.

157
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: The King of Arram was understandably furious and suspicious that

158
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: there was a mole in his midst. Surely one of

159
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: his soldiers was somehow getting information to Israel and tipping

160
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: them off. But despite the enraged screaming at the troops,

161
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: no informant was found. It just made no sense to him.

162
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Then one of his generals told him about Elisha, the

163
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: prophet of Israel, who somehow knew exactly what was going

164
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: to happen. Soothsayers and fortune tailors were not uncommon in

165
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: those days, and many kings consulted them. So the King

166
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: of Arram just assumed Elishah, though he was really good

167
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: at his job, was just a man, a nuisance that

168
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: needed to be dealt with. If he could take him out,

169
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: the battle could be won. So he set his sights

170
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: on Elishah, not knowing that the true power of Elishah

171
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: came from the one speaking to and through Elisha, God himself.

172
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: As soon as the scouts found out where Elishah was,

173
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: they sent word to the king that he was at Dothan.

174
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: So the king mobilized his army to Dothan to capture

175
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: and kill the prophet Elisha. When Elishah's servants saw the

176
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: army surrounding his home, he panicked, And of course that's understandable.

177
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: If you look out your window and you saw horses

178
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: and chariot surrounding you, it would be very unsettling. So

179
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: the servant ran and told his master Elisha. But this

180
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: man of God was courageous and unfazed. Have you ever

181
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: been around someone like that when danger arises, when disaster

182
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: seems to press from all sides, is they just keep

183
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 1: their calm and their courage Calm like fear can be contagious,

184
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: especially when the person who stays calm gives a reason.

185
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: And that's just exactly what Elishah did. Recorded in Second

186
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: King six verse sixteen, he said, do not be afraid,

187
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: for those who are with us are far more than

188
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: those who are with them. I can just picture this

189
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: servant taking a brief look outside to see if he

190
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: had missed something. Was there another army that he didn't see? Well,

191
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: in fact, there was, but it wasn't until Elijah asked

192
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: the Lord to open his servants eyes that he could

193
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: really see. God opened this servant's eyes and he saw

194
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: God's army, armies of angels covering the mountains, horses and

195
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: chariots of fires, a supernatural sight, no doubt. So often

196
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: in our lives, when we look at problems that are

197
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: so much bigger than us, we see them through human eyes,

198
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: but we do not realize that our God is fighting

199
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: an unseen battle for us, that there are angels all

200
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: around us, and that God protects his own. The Bible

201
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: says in the New Testament, greater is he that is

202
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: in you than he that is in the world. The

203
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: Bible also says, if God be for us, who can

204
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: be against us? So I don't know what enemy, adversary, foe,

205
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: or circumstance you may be facing in your life. But

206
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: God is with you, and God is for you. He

207
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: is fighting for you. If there was to be a

208
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: fight that day, Elisha was not concerned, but he didn't

209
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: want to fight. He asked God to blind the Aramaean army,

210
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: and he walked right out unrecognized and sent them to

211
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: another town. He then called the King of Israel, and

212
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: the army surrounded their unsuspecting enemy. Their foe was there

213
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: for the taking, but Alisha did not let the king

214
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: of Israel. Spill Blood Peace was forwarded that day between

215
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: two nations, as judgment and violence are replaced by mercy

216
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: and grace. It's a picture of God's own heart, isn't

217
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: it the heart of the Lord Jesus, who is full

218
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: of grace and truth and mercy to all of us

219
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: who are once his enemies but have now been brought

220
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: near because of His grace and power. Dear God, thank

221
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: you that you have chosen to show mercy through us

222
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: through your son Jesus Christ, that we are saved by

223
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: your grace through faith in him. We know that we

224
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: deserve judgment and condemnation, but we also know, according to

225
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: the scripture that there is now no condemnation to those

226
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: who are in Christ. Jesus, we look to you today

227
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: and to your angel armies for your protection and peace.

228
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: For we pray in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you for
