00:40 Hello friends, and welcome to Behold the Lamb presents.
00:43 I'm Chris Shelton your host. 00:45 And today's message is entitled "Moving in the 00:48 providence of God. " Moving in the 00:51 providence of God, just what could that mean? 00:54 In order for us to properly understand, 00:57 what it does mean for us to move in God providence? 01:01 We must first understand the meaning of the 01:03 word providence. So, I've taken the time to go 01:06 online to dictionary.com and look it up for us today. 01:10 And the portions of the meaning that stuck out 01:13 to me is this. Providence is the 01:17 foreseeing care and guidance of God over 01:20 the creatures of the earth, a manifestation 01:24 of divine care and direction. 01:27 I don't know about you, but the thought of 01:30 a loving God, who foresees the future, 01:33 giving his guidance and divine care in our 01:37 direction in my life truly brings a sense of 01:41 security and peace that I don't believe that 01:44 I would otherwise have. I hope this is the same 01:47 for you and I'm sure as we will soon be 01:50 reminded of, of the providence that worked 01:52 in the lives of our Biblical forefathers. 01:55 This thought would be pressed home, pressed 01:58 home into our hearts of a mighty all powerful 02:02 God, who loves us so very much that he is 02:05 willing. He is willing to guide, guard, and 02:08 protect us. Through his providential care, 02:12 if we, but now listen there's always a reason 02:14 if, if we but invite and allow him to do so. 02:20 What a tremendous thought. I hope you are 02:22 now as anxious to hear what the Lord has laid 02:26 upon Pastor Kenny's heart, dealing with this 02:28 subject just as I am, but first let's visit 3ABN's 02:33 Worship Center and be blessed with the song, 02:36 sung and performed by Denise Barclay 02:39 entitled, "He'll Do it again." 02:54 You maybe down and feel the God has somehow forgotten 03:05 That you're faced with circumstances 03:10 You can't get through 03:16 But now it seems there's no way out 03:21 And you're going under God's proven 03:27 time and time again He'll take care of you 03:36 And He'll do it again He'll do it again 03:47 If you just take a look And where you are now 03:52 And where you've been Hasn't He always come 03:59 through for you He's the same now as then 04:08 You may not know how You may not know when 04:13 But He'll do it again God knows the pain 04:22 that you're going through 04:24 And He knows how you're hurting 04:30 You see he knows how your heart's 04:35 Been broken in two Oh, but He's the God of 04:42 the sun, stars and the moon 04:46 And He is your Father If He can calm the storm 04:54 He'll find a way to take care of you 05:01 And He'll do it again He'll do it again 05:12 If you just take a look Where you are now 05:18 And where you've been Hasn't 05:22 He always come through for you 05:28 He's the same God now that He was then 05:31 Yet, may not know how May not know when 05:38 But He'll do it again Oh, He'll do it again 05:49 Yes, He'll do it again Yes, if you just take a look 05:57 And where you are now And where you've been 06:03 Hasn't He always come through for you 06:10 He's the same God now that He was then 06:13 Oh, yes he is. You may not know how 06:18 You may not know when But He'll do it again 06:26 You may not know how Oh, you may not how 06:37 You may not know how 06:40 You may not know when 06:43 But He'll do it again. 06:59 Thank you for joining us today, wherever 07:01 you're around the world, we just 07:03 appreciate it so very much that you're going 07:05 to take this time to spend with us. 07:07 As we study God's word. Very important 07:09 subject, we're gonna be talking about the 07:11 providence of God. So, moving in the 07:14 providence of God. How do we know if it's 07:18 God speaking or maybe it's another voice that's 07:21 speaking? When are we to move, is it really 07:23 important to move, is it important to listen to 07:26 God's voice? If God opens up a door is it 07:29 gonna be always open to us or maybe it might 07:32 close. Before we get into the study, let's take 07:35 time and pray shall we, invite the Holy Spirit. 07:38 I'm gonna do that right now the way you can, 07:40 why don't you pray along with us? 07:45 Kind loving heavenly Father, we thank you 07:47 for the privilege of prayer, we thank you 07:50 that you've promised us that you would send the 07:52 Holy Spirit and you would send in 07:55 abundance and how desperately we need to 07:57 hear from heaven today. We need our minds 08:00 enlightened and we need the ears to be 08:01 opened and we need to hear your voice. 08:04 We plead for thy spirit to touch your children 08:07 around the world today that we maybe brought 08:10 closer to Jesus. May we sense the hour in which 08:13 we live, may we sense the leading of the Spirit 08:16 of God. Now, I pray that you would 08:18 complete control of everything that's said 08:21 and done. May it bring honor and glory to the 08:24 King of Kings in Jesus name, amen. 08:29 Well as mentioned, we're gonna be talking 08:30 about the moving in the providence of God. 08:34 And again how important it is that we 08:38 move when God says to move. And when God 08:40 says to be still, he wants us to be still, but always 08:46 when there's a voice of God that is pleading 08:48 and working and opening and giving us 08:51 opportunities and privileges to work in 08:53 his vineyard, you can be sure that the enemy is 08:57 going to be working too. Which voice will you hear? 09:01 Which voice will you say, oh that's the voice 09:04 of God or you might say, well that's the 09:06 voice of the enemy. How can we tell? 09:10 This is part of our study today. We must believe 09:13 this. Number one, we are living in perilous 09:18 times, and it will continue, continue 09:22 on until Jesus shall come. It's gonna wax worse 09:25 and worse is what the Bible said. 09:28 We know that a terrible crisis is 09:30 just upon this world. We also know that a 09:34 terrible crisis awaits the people of God. 09:39 Now, I want you to pay close attention, I want 09:40 your ears perked up, I want you to be listening 09:43 because with these things being said, 09:46 how we need to really pay attention and how 09:49 we need to act upon these things, if we 09:51 believe them. Do you believe, by the way that 09:54 everything in the world is in agitation. 09:58 Are you seeing the signs of the time, 09:59 are you seeing things that are happening in 10:01 the world that seems like everything is 10:03 agitated. Everything is, is moving, everything 10:05 is, is, is shifting back and forth. 10:07 And we're not sure where it's going to light. 10:11 You can be sure that the world is in agitation at 10:14 this moment. And I believe that we need 10:17 to be wide awake and that heaven is wide awake. 10:22 Something big is about to happen, it's going to 10:25 overwhelm the majority of people because 10:28 they're not paying attention, they've 10:30 heard the messages too often, saying well let's 10:32 not run scared, listen, who's asked to be 10:35 ready, for in such an hour as you think not 10:37 the Bible says what? Such an hour's what? 10:41 As you think not the son of man cometh, 10:42 good. We've to realize that we're living in a, 10:46 a day. I can see these things and, 10:48 different things that come out on the news, 10:50 and newspaper clippings and magazine, things 10:52 that are happening that the fires of persecution 10:55 will be once more rekindled. Oh the Christian doesn't 10:58 want to hear that. Jesus made it very clear 11:01 the things that he went through, we're going to 11:03 have to go through. He's preparing a people 11:06 for heaven. And it's not just well, Mr. Good's 11:09 going to get to heaven; the ones that are going 11:11 to heaven are those who are going to be like 11:13 Jesus. We've to be like him, we've to have his 11:16 character. So, we have to realize that every 11:19 man's faith. Every man, woman's, child's faith, 11:22 if they're gonna re-populate heaven, our faith is 11:25 going to be tested and tried just like there's no 11:29 other person on this planet. 11:32 Every person! Yes? If you're gonna 11:36 re-populate heaven, your faith has to be 11:39 tried to see what it is? I heard people talking 11:42 faith all the time, but when it comes down to, 11:44 when we say the rubber meets the road, a lot of 11:46 times we see no faith in operation at all. 11:49 And the Bible is very, very clear without faith 11:52 it is impossible to please God. 11:56 And from some of you doubting, Thomas you 11:57 will say, well I, I don't know, if I have any 11:59 faith. Well, I don't have any faith. Bible says, 12:01 every man is given a measure of faith. 12:03 So, we are really what? Without excuse. 12:06 God has given us what we need that we might 12:09 have eternal life. We must believe that 12:12 the Spirit of God is being withdrawn from 12:15 this earth. Day-by-day the Spirit of God's 12:18 being withdrawn why? Because we're pushing 12:21 it out. By the things that we're saying, 12:24 by the things that we're making into, to law by 12:26 our attitudes, our dispositions. 12:30 Oh, how, how day-by-day we become more 12:33 avoid of the Spirit, you see more of the enemies 12:36 working, we don't want that, but it's happening, 12:38 we have to realize along with that, that probation 12:41 is soon to close. When probation closed, 12:44 there will be not another that will ever 12:45 come to Jesus. It's all over the great 12:48 controversy, between Christ and Satan has 12:51 come to an end. Every case, every individual 12:56 case is about to be eternally decided. 12:59 Where are you going to stand? 13:00 You're going to stand on the side of Christ 13:02 or you're gonna stand on the side of the 13:04 enemy? Are you going to know, when the 13:06 providence of God is moving in your life. 13:09 See, he's telling us today that the field is 13:13 ripe for harvest. Where are the labors? 13:17 If God said, the field is, is ripe for harvest, 13:20 if their souls' to be won in the kingdom. 13:22 I believe that God is going to open some 13:24 doors for those souls to be saved. 13:27 And his people will hear his voice; 13:29 the sheep will hear his voice. Are you want to 13:32 be sheep today? Oh, we should be, there's no 13:35 doubt about it, but what should we do? 13:37 Probation closing, our names coming up in the 13:39 judgment, could already becoming up now, 13:42 and sins pronounced. What should we be 13:45 doing as a people? We're gonna study that 13:49 and look at it closely, but you know, 13:51 Benjamin Franklin said an awful lot of things 13:54 that's written down and, and a lot of them are, 13:56 they make a lot of sense. And here's one 13:58 thing he said, just a couple of lines. 14:01 He said, work. Work as though you're going 14:03 to live to be one hundred years old. 14:07 And then he finished it up and he said, but pray 14:12 as though your life is going to end tomorrow. 14:15 Oh, that's good council. We see perilous times, 14:19 we're going to be tested, persecution coming. 14:22 End of time, in the judgment hour. 14:25 And what are we to do as, as God's people. 14:28 I love the Book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 14:31 60, verse 1 says, "We're to arise and shine." 14:34 So, when we see these things happening, 14:36 no time to sit down, we're to rise and shine. 14:39 Arising and shining, God is going to be 14:42 working out great and marvelous things for us. 14:44 He's going to be opening doors; 14:46 his providence is going to be opening up. 14:48 Things and opportunities man can't accomplish 14:51 by himself, but God can. The Bible continues on 14:55 in Isaiah 52, it just simply says, I'm just 14:58 using a couple of words it says, awake, awake, 15:02 what is this people to be doing, we're to be wide 15:05 awake, we're to wake up. And then Isaiah 15:09 goes on in Isaiah 54 it says, we need to be 15:12 enlarging our tents. In the providence of 15:15 God as we see him working in behalf of 15:18 saving the souls, he's going to use mankind to do it. 15:22 And when the opportunity and privilege comes for 15:24 us, we need to be enlarging our tents; 15:27 our work needs to be enlarged now. 15:29 Saving of souls need to be enlarged. 15:32 Are you enlarging now, are you downsizing. 15:37 The Bible also says in Isaiah 59 it says, 15:40 "We're to lift up a standard." 15:42 Now, all of these things I'm talking about here 15:44 has to do because we realize the hour in 15:46 which we live and God's promised to 15:48 work great manifestations for us. 15:50 Open doors and he's going to close doors 15:54 and we have to be aware of when we go in 15:56 and maybe when we're not supposed to. 15:58 And if we miss that opportunity what 16:00 might happen to us. Seven testimonials page 16:04 14, starts out, it says, Ministers and people 16:09 wake up. Oh, how we need that today what 16:13 because we're sleep. Oh, we deny that we're 16:15 asleep, we're going about doing a little bit 16:17 here, a little bit there, but if we really realize 16:20 that there's not much time left. 16:24 If it's soon to close up, not another person will 16:27 saved in God's kingdom. You have the opportunity 16:30 to do things for him today. He's opened that door, 16:33 but you're, you're hesitating, don't 16:34 hesitate any longer. The council from the Bible, 16:39 the spirit of prophecy says, we are to, 16:41 ministers wake up, some of you just bless 16:43 your hearts, you're just coasting through, 16:45 you're waiting for retirement, you don't 16:47 want upset the apple cart, don't want to just 16:49 cause problem with the church board. 16:51 And so you're basically doing nothing. 16:53 I encourage you to wake up. Now, remember my 16:55 mom always said, if your shoe fits wear it, 16:57 if it's not, you're working hard for Jesus, 16:59 praise God that's what you're supposed to be 17:01 doing as a minister of the gospel, if you're not, 17:04 you're going to be found unfaithful. 17:07 And I know, you don't want to be found unfaithful. 17:09 Not in the cause of Christ. Wake up says 17:12 ministers and people. Now, notice this 17:14 reading on, seize every opportunity and 17:17 advantage offered in the turning of the wheel of 17:21 providence. So, as that wheel begins to turn 17:24 and God begin to open up ways, advantages 17:28 and opportunities, we're to seize them 17:30 immediately, if you do not seize them you will 17:33 miss out. And some of us are saying, 17:36 well I, I would seize them but I'm not, 17:37 I'm not sure if that's God leading or not. 17:40 Now, why don't, why don't we know? 17:42 Seize them, do something right now in the providence 17:46 of God is simply the workings of God in our 17:49 life, opportunity to save souls. 17:53 Some people say, well I don't know if I could 17:54 do this or I should be going doing that. 17:56 One man said, I don't know which one, said, 17:59 be simply said, the smallest deed done. 18:03 The smallest deed done is better than 18:06 the greatest intention, what? 18:10 The smallest deed done is not better than the 18:12 greatest intention. I'm going to, we're gonna 18:14 do great things for God. Get busy right now, 18:17 that door's open, come win souls for Jesus, 18:19 we still have some freedom left in his 18:21 country, we need to be using it now, 18:23 proclaiming the gospel, the good news of Jesus 18:25 Christ. See, we must be ever ready to move as 18:30 God opens the door. He may open the door 18:33 here in your backyard; he may open the door 18:35 in another country. Wherever he opens that 18:39 door, we've to be ready to move as soon as 18:42 God opens that door. We need to be some 18:46 real, some missionary minded like never 18:48 before, the church, the body of Christ, we need 18:52 to be as many of the missionaries of old. 18:55 I remember reading one time and again referring 18:58 to soul winning and being a missionary into 19:01 foreign countries and I don't remember the 19:03 man's name, but he, he prayed this prayer, 19:05 I thought it was very interesting and I said, 19:06 God help me to be like that. 19:08 He said, God please send me to the darkest 19:12 place on this earth to win souls for you, wow. 19:19 I wonder how many of us say, well God I'd like 19:21 to go to another country to win souls for you, 19:23 but we need, we need, we need a good place to 19:25 stay. We'd like to have air conditioning and 19:28 we'd like to have all the conveniences we, we 19:30 have here too, here was the person so intend on 19:33 winning souls for Jesus and the need, he said 19:36 there was a need, the need was send me to the 19:38 darkest place where people who had never 19:40 heard of you. You know, the missionary 19:44 one time made this statement I thought 19:46 to me it's just, it's just awesome. 19:49 Simply say this God give me souls or I die. Wow! 19:59 Give me souls or I die, you see that, that love 20:05 and that longing to win souls to Jesus Christ is 20:08 just, is awesome. Another man that lived 20:13 in London, they offered him an opportunity to 20:17 come to this country and they said, you know 20:19 we want you to give 50 messages, 50 messages 20:22 and we're going to give you $1000 for every 20:26 message you give. So, you'll be here about 20:29 50 days and you're going to make what? 20:31 $50,000, wow! That was big, that's quite 20:35 a few years ago. The evangelist said to them, 20:38 I can do better than that. And right quickly 20:43 you're gonna yeah, that's what most, 20:45 and they said, you can do better than that? 20:46 He said, yes I'm going to stay where I'm at 20:48 and I'm going to win 50 souls for Jesus. Wow! 20:54 Are we really missionary minded, are we really 20:56 seeing the, the providence, the moving of the 20:59 providence of God, are we really working in, 21:01 in his behalf. Reading in a book called Patriots 21:05 and Prophets, page 4:23, notice this, 21:08 it's kind of a long paragraph and oh, 21:10 there's dynamite here. And if we more than 21:14 just read it, we have to act on these things. 21:17 First of all it says, it is important that we 21:20 believe God's word and then act on it promptly. 21:24 First things first, read God's word, if he says 21:28 go into all the world and preach the gospel, 21:30 that's exactly what he means? 21:31 You just act on it promptly. Well, I don't know 21:34 where to go; I don't know what to do? 21:36 Well, don't sit there, get up and do something. 21:41 Well, because you believe it, don't you? Sure! 21:43 And then we act on it promptly. 21:46 You know, why? Reading on it said, 21:47 because the angels of heaven are waiting to 21:49 work for us. Think about when you go 21:53 doing something for Jesus that the angels 21:56 are busy, that they're with you. 21:58 You're not going up knocking on the door 21:59 alone, there's angels going with you. 22:01 You're not opening the Bible and presenting 22:03 the, the salvation of Jesus Christ and, but the 22:05 angels are there with you to encourage and 22:07 strengthen you. You're going to help a 22:11 neighbor, a sick neighbor, a friend, 22:12 somebody will say, you're not going by 22:13 yourself, the angels of heaven are going with you. 22:17 But you know, on the other side, if the good 22:19 angels are ready, the evil angels are also 22:21 trying to cause some problems, they're going 22:24 to try to stop and slow down every advanced step. 22:28 So, every time you move forward, 22:29 remember in the church, it doesn't matter 22:31 where you're at? If you're moving forward 22:33 in ministry, working for salvation of souls the 22:36 devil will attack you at every step, do not get 22:39 discouraged. Remember this, when God's 22:42 providence bids his children to go forward, 22:45 we better go forward. Why? Because he's 22:49 wanting to do great things for us. 22:53 Great things, door of providence opens, 22:57 God's just not going to do something. 22:59 He's wanting to do great things for us and often 23:02 we don't really see the results, because our 23:06 faith is lacking, we're afraid ready to go 23:08 through the door because it doesn't seem 23:10 right. Or we're afraid we don't have the 23:12 finances or we don't have the backing for it 23:14 or, we're looking for people to be supportive. 23:17 Rather that just going because God has said 23:19 to go, he's wanting to do great things, 23:24 but what does Satan do? First thing he does, 23:28 he comes in when the people said, let's, 23:30 let's rise and let's do something. 23:32 Devil comes in, he begins to tempt us, 23:35 he begins it, but two things he wants you to 23:37 hesitate and he wants you to delay. 23:41 Have you ever noticed that in your Christian 23:42 experience, I have. Somebody comes up; 23:45 we need to go out and pass out some books. 23:48 We need to go give some Bible studies, 23:50 we need to go and do something for Jesus. 23:52 We need to win some souls, and somebody 23:55 in there will say, well now wait a minute, 23:57 have you, if you seen, you have heard it? 24:00 Every time they say, now wait a minute here. 24:02 We need to comeback and say wait for what? 24:05 Well, now we need to wait for, no we don't 24:06 wait for, wait for money, no we don't 24:08 have to wait for any money, 24:12 but we, we, we've to, we've to wait for, 24:14 for you know, something else, somebody to give 24:16 approval or somebody. God's already said, 24:18 go into all the world, do you know that passage? 24:21 We don't have to wait, we just simply respond 24:23 and we go quickly why? Because the devil is 24:26 going to close that door, he knows that God has 24:29 opened that door, God wants to do great 24:30 things, he's promised to do great 24:32 things for his people. God's people is going 24:34 to be filled with the Spirit, they're going to 24:35 move forward, they're going to be dynamite 24:38 in the cause of Christ. And the devil knows it, 24:40 so he gets somebody in the crowd. 24:42 He maybe a board member, he maybe a 24:44 member of the church, maybe a couple on the, 24:45 oh, let's wait a little bit. Oh, let's, let's wait a 24:48 little bit, we need to, we need to sit back 24:50 and think about this. What do you think the 24:52 devil does? And all of a sudden, when he says 24:56 that you have people who want to move 24:57 forward, those who are afraid to and all of a 25:00 sudden there's strife and there's division 25:01 and there's murmuring. God cannot work in the 25:04 midst of that. Maybe think with me just a 25:08 little bit, maybe it's because as a, as a 25:11 people, as a group and a, a movement that 25:13 we're not seeing a little bit more, you form, 25:15 you're then you know coming together 25:16 shoulder-to-shoulder, forming some strength 25:21 in the power of God is because we're too busy 25:23 murmuring and complaining, is that possible? 25:27 That God can't work the way he wants to work. 25:31 If there's any kind of delay, when God says 25:35 to move and the door of providence opens and 25:37 you know, it's a voice of God that it gives the 25:40 devil time to come in and destroy that, and he 25:42 will do it. Give him no time. Now, you might 25:46 say, well how can I recognize if it's the 25:48 providence of God or not? How can I recognize? 25:51 I need to understand, give you three simple 25:53 little points. Weigh them out and of course 25:56 always weigh them with scripture. 25:58 I encourage you to always get the Bible, 26:00 don't take me for what I just say in your face 26:02 about you. Take the Bible and check and 26:05 see if it's not correct. First of all, if you want 26:09 to know 'cause it seems like, well it seems like 26:11 a good thing, but then they're things that we 26:12 hesitate about. First thing we need to do 26:14 three ways is to simple get into the word. 26:19 This Bible here is the, the God's will 26:22 expressed to mankind. The Bible is what? 26:27 God's expressed will to mankind. 26:29 In other words if you want to know God's 26:31 will for you. We're gonna need to get into 26:34 the word and God will reveal that to you. 26:36 Number two, how does God do it? 26:39 Providential workings, you said, well yeah we 26:41 talked about providential working, but how can 26:43 we really recognize that they are? 26:46 Here's something to really chew on. 26:48 If we are connected to Jesus Christ the way 26:51 that we should be, we will recognize the 26:53 openings of God and we'll also recognize the 26:56 counterfeits of the devil. Number three, 27:01 the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead 27:04 and guide you and direct you, it certainly 27:06 the Bible says into, into all truth, but you, 27:10 you understand the impressions I need to 27:12 go out and I need to do for Jesus. 27:14 Not as the works orientated thing, 27:17 but what, because we love Jesus, you'll be 27:19 impressed that you need to do this and you'll be 27:21 impressed over and over, why? 27:23 Because the door is being opened and the 27:24 devil's trying to close it on the other side, 27:27 and he closes it with doubt and hesitation 27:30 and delay. So, we need to act on it promptly. 27:34 And if you have by the way as the Holy Spirit 27:36 impresses you. You remember, 27:37 the Holy Spirit always works along with what? 27:41 The Bible, this is how you attest whether, 27:43 what voice it is speaking to you. 27:45 And if you have any question on any subject, 27:46 you go to the word of God; He'll give you the answers. 27:49 This is what we need to be doing today because 27:52 providence of God is, is really I tell you, 27:54 he's opening some doors now, that's just 27:56 exciting for me. Let me give you just a quick, 28:00 well we might spend a little time, it's okay, 28:02 but an illustration of what I'm talking about 28:04 here example. You remember the children 28:05 of Israel as they were starting to enter Canaan 28:09 or the promised land. And just before they 28:12 went into the promised land, they had to passed 28:14 through, through Edom you, you remember 28:16 that, sure you do. So, they had to go through 28:18 again, but remember God was still going to 28:20 test them another time, but usually when Israel 28:23 passed through and they felt pretty strong, 28:25 they'd just go ahead and maybe take that 28:27 you know, what all of Edom they just take the 28:29 property and the land, and the houses and 28:31 you know sometimes kill the people. 28:33 Wow! But God said, now this time here, 28:36 you passed through Edom, but you're not to 28:39 take a foot breadth of their property. 28:41 And he began to give some instructions 28:43 because he was beginning to answer his 28:46 prayer, in other words the door of provident 28:48 was getting to be opened for Israel to go 28:51 through to the promised land, another test laid 28:53 before them, and the children of Israel need 28:55 to pay attention. Now, in the Book of 28:58 Deuteronomy I, I've got to read this, I've got to 29:01 read this, this is good, if you pay attention to 29:03 this, and you get this here, you'll see how the 29:06 rest of it fits quickly in the time that we have. 29:08 Here's what God was telling Israel, 29:10 Deuteronomy chapter 2 gonna read with verse 29:13 3, verse 3. The Bible says, talking about the 29:15 Lord spake and say here. "Ye have compassed 29:19 this mountain long enough; turn ye 29:22 northward. And command thou 29:26 the people, saying. Ye are to pass through 29:28 the coast of your brethren Esau." 29:32 You say, Esau. We know Edom was given 29:35 you see to Esau, we look Esau the 29:36 descendents of Esau, it's Edomites descendants 29:40 and they would descendents of who? 29:41 Abraham and Issac and God gave that to them 29:44 and he said, Israel you can't take it from, 29:46 I gave it to them for an inheritance. 29:49 So, God was speaking to them and he told 29:52 them he said. "And they shall be afraid of you: 29:54 take good heed unto yourself therefore: 29:57 Please pay attention, God is opening the 29:59 door, the door of providence now is 30:00 being opened to them. He told them, he said, 30:03 look. When you go through Edom they will 30:06 be afraid of you, do not worry about it? 30:10 I'm going to see you through. 30:12 Now, here's where we need to be tested here. 30:16 God said to Israel, "Do not meddle with them; 30:19 for I will not give you their land, no, not so 30:22 much a foot breadth; because I have given 30:25 you mount Seir unto Esau for a possession." 30:28 Now, Ye shall buy meat, pay attention. 30:32 "Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye 30:36 may eat; and ye shall also buy water for them 30:41 for money, that ye may drink." 30:43 Something's going on here; door of 30:45 providence is being opened, why? 30:47 God has always supplied all these things 30:48 for forty years for them, but God said when you 30:50 go through buy. Why would, why would 30:55 God say this? You need to, you are gonna buy 30:59 water? You go through the land, but you be 31:00 careful going through there. You don't meddle 31:03 with them, you just go through there, but you 31:04 buy what you need to eat and to drink. 31:08 And here's a little key I just, if you have time 31:10 read verse 7 right there because there begin to 31:13 be doubting and so on and so forth and God 31:15 tried to encourage them as that door is open, 31:17 he said, "For these forty years the LORD thy 31:20 God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked 31:23 nothing." I like that, if you really think about it 31:27 in your Christian life and mine. 31:29 We have really lacked nothing. 31:31 We may have, haven't had an abundance of 31:33 everything like we think we like to have because 31:35 we have a lack of faith sometime, but God 31:38 reminded them, you go ahead and you buy 31:40 because you're gonna need this, and you're 31:41 gonna need that, you know what, 31:42 but I haven't failed you for forty years, 31:45 you lacked on nothing. Oh, what encouragement 31:49 say, wow! If we're paying attention as God 31:52 opens the door providence. We'd have to listen to 31:56 his voice, he gave direction to the 31:59 promised land, he told them they'd have safe what? 32:02 Good, safe passage. Although their journeys 32:06 they were supplied with water. 32:08 I just get so excited when I think about this. 32:11 Where ever they can't. This must have been 32:16 amazing to the surrounding nations, 32:19 because out in the desert, there just wasn't 32:21 any water. And it didn't matter where they 32:25 ended up and where they camped, every 32:28 time they camped, where it was near some 32:31 rocks or some mountains or whatever it was, 32:33 the Bible says the water gushed out of the rocks. 32:40 Well, it didn't gushed out before there was no 32:41 pond, there was no river, there was no lake 32:43 there, but where Israel camped that water 32:46 gushed out of the rock and it gushed as long as 32:48 they were there. What do you mean gush; 32:51 it wasn't a six inch pipeline. 32:55 We're talking about you know, may I say a 32:56 pipeline to water several million people. 33:03 And all their, their, their animals or livestock. 33:07 And so, when the Bible says it gushed, 33:09 it gushed. And God had done it for forty years 33:14 and oh, wow! But now, it's interesting in this 33:16 passage. God says when you go through Edom 33:18 do what? Buy water, oh why? Did they really 33:24 catch it here? I'm gonna read a new passage 33:28 scripture, in the New Testament, so, just give 33:30 me a second here, I find it here in First 33:31 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 4, Second 33:34 Corinthians, First Corinthians I'm sorry 33:37 10 verse 4, notice this, the Bible said and, 33:40 "And did all drink the same spiritual drink: 33:43 for they drink of that spiritual rock that 33:46 followed them, and that Rock was Christ." 33:50 Isn't that beautiful? They drink the spiritual 33:53 drink here, and they drank of that spiritual 33:55 rock and that was what, Jesus, it's that water that 33:57 he gave to them because he is the rock. 34:02 Well, let's oh, how exciting that is? 34:04 They all drink the Bible says. Isaiah says, of 34:09 Jesus Christ, Isaiah 26, it calls him the rock of 34:13 all ages. Have you ever sing that song, the Rock 34:16 of Ages. Or it stays there has to be an your 34:19 margin in your Bible that says everlasting 34:22 strength. The Rock of Ages, he's a shadow of 34:26 a great rock in a weary land, Isaiah 32 says, 34:31 he is the rock of our salvation, he's our 34:33 redeemer, he is the rock of our strength, 34:35 the Bible said, he's the rock that's higher than I. 34:39 He's the rock of my heart, the Bible talks 34:41 about here. In Revelation 22 makes it very clear 34:46 about the rock and about the water, 34:47 22:17 it said, "Whosoever will, 34:50 let him take of the water of life freely." 34:54 There was something about this test. 34:56 Something dealing with the rock, which is Jesus. 34:58 The water, which is Jesus. All these life-giving 35:02 things in here and God wanted spiritual lessons 35:04 for us to be learning. Jesus says that anyone 35:08 who wants to take the water of 35:09 life take it freely. He offers it to you 35:12 free today; freely he wants to give you. 35:15 You just have to ask him for it. 35:18 He's a well spring of wisdom the Bible 35:21 talks about here. He is a flowing brook the Bible 35:25 says, he's the fountain of living waters 35:28 Jeremiah talks about. And as the children of 35:33 Israel got close to the promised land. 35:37 Now, they were living, there were living 35:41 streams of water, but now those living 35:46 streams of water seize to flow. 35:49 How would Israel be tested in the 35:52 providence of God as he opened and closed doors, 35:55 how would they react? A few days before they 35:59 went into the promised land, these gushing 36:01 streams of rock it closed up and there was none. 36:06 How would they react? What would they do? 36:09 But what had God said, that we read in scripture 36:11 moment ago. As you pass by buy food and buy what? 36:15 Deuteronomy 2, and buy water. 36:18 So, when the water seized to flow out of the 36:21 rock, they should have known the providence 36:23 of God was he was getting ready to lead 36:26 them into the promised land. 36:29 This was their last stop, but you know they 36:32 didn't catch it. They weren't spiritually 36:35 in tuned. There's only a few days left in their 36:40 journey and God would test them again. 36:45 How are you as we're entering in the last days 36:47 of earth's history. That which God did, 36:54 was evidence that he was fulfilling the 36:56 promise that he had made to them and they 36:58 still didn't see it. He'd opened the doors 37:00 of providence, they didn't see it, they didn't 37:02 understand it. They were so used to all 37:05 of that being there just for them, he supplied all 37:09 of their food for forty years and 37:10 all of their water. And soon as they as we 37:14 say, shut their tap off, of a sudden they throw 37:18 up their hands, they don't know what to do, 37:19 even though he clearly gave them directions on 37:22 what they were to do, which was clearly a 37:25 fulfillment that his promise was soon to 37:27 come to pass. And what did they do? 37:29 They resorted to murmuring and 37:31 complaining, with all that God had done on 37:35 the brinks of Canaan and I'm all I'm afraid as 37:39 people of God today we're on the brinks of 37:41 the heavenly Canaan. And I believe sometime 37:44 we're murmuring and we're complaining and 37:47 we're, we're doubting God's promise and we 37:49 can't see how these things will take place. 37:51 We can't see how the world's gonna, how, 37:53 what's gonna happen in this world and we're 37:55 just, we're torn up when God has made it clear in 37:57 his word exactly what's going to take place. 38:02 Are you spiritual minded? We need to be, if not 38:06 would he asked God take this blinders off, 38:08 so that we may see here and understand. 38:11 Here was one more opportunity as well as 38:14 for you and me, for Israel to learn, to walk 38:18 by faith and not by sight. 38:24 I didn't understand it years ago, but when 38:27 I got a little bit out of hand growing up, 38:29 my dad would look at me and he said, 38:30 I'm gonna shut your tap off. 38:36 Gonna shut my water off wasn't he. 38:39 And when God shut the tap of that water, 38:41 what happened? They began to murmur 38:43 and they began to complain. 38:47 They didn't walk by faith. 38:50 They wanted to walk by sight, but that's not 38:51 faith, isn't it? As this trial first developed, 38:58 all of a sudden the Bible says that first, 39:00 that same spirit of the fathers who had died in 39:02 the wilderness came up again. 39:05 It wasn't dead yet. That same spirit come, 39:08 came up. They had forgotten that for so 39:11 many years, that God had been leading them 39:13 and guiding them and taking care of them, 39:16 and almost say babying them and yet they, 39:20 couldn't see it. Without fail, always supplying. 39:27 In fact in the Book of Numbers, if you want to 39:29 read, we don't have time to read it, but 39:30 Numbers verses 1 through 13. 39:33 The Bible says, that the children of Israel, 39:35 as they began to complain and they 39:36 cried, oh would to God that we had died when 39:40 our brethren did. In many places in 39:45 scripture they went on to say, boy, we should 39:46 have, what are you going to do lead us 39:47 around, be better we go back to Egypt. 39:51 After all that God has done, is it maybe we've 39:54 come to that point in, in, in our life. 39:57 Maybe it's happening to us right now that, 39:59 we're not spiritual minded enough to know 40:01 that God is always there and God's never gonna 40:03 leave us, he's never gonna forsake us, 40:04 your bread and water is sure, you may lose 40:07 your home, you may lose your job, you may 40:08 lose all security in this life, he's preparing you 40:10 for a better place. We have-to-have faith, 40:15 we have to learn to live by faith, not by the 40:17 wallet, not by the income that we have, 40:20 not by your savings, not by your bank account, 40:24 not by your amount of friends that you have. 40:27 That's living by, by faith is what God is 40:29 telling us. Who did Israel blame, 40:34 when their water or tap was shut off? 40:39 And no more, no more food from heaven, 40:41 who did they blame? Moses and Aaron, 40:44 oh they're guilty. Now, my question to you 40:48 did Moses and Aaron make it better when the 40:52 children of Israel were in real turmoil, well did 40:54 they make it better for Israel or did they make 40:57 it worse. Interesting scripture, becomes 41:00 very, very clear in Numbers chapter 20. 41:04 Oh, I just, I'm praying we have time, I'm going 41:06 as quickly as I can here because if we don't 41:09 catch this we're not going to catch the rest 41:11 of what I have in mind. Because it has to do 41:13 with gaining victory over those failures that 41:16 we have in our character. And even though it just 41:19 maybe one, even though you think it just 41:22 maybe one. It's enough to keep you out of 41:24 heaven; it's enough to keep me out. 41:26 And God illustrates that with Aaron and Moses. 41:30 In Numbers chapter 26 through 11. 41:35 Bible says, "Then Moses and Aaron went 41:36 from the presence of the assembly to the door of 41:38 the tabernacle of the congregation, 41:40 they fell on their faces, and the glory of the 41:43 Lord appeared to them." Wouldn't that be 41:45 enough, wouldn't that be enough at this time, 41:48 even if you're murmuring and 41:49 complaining when Moses and Aaron went 41:50 to the door because of the people carrying on, 41:52 that they said the glory of the Lord. 41:55 People could have seen it, they did see it. 42:00 The Bible says, "The Lord spake unto Moses 42:02 saying, Take the rod, gather the assembly 42:08 together, thou and Aaron thy brother, 42:10 speak unto the rock before their eyes; 42:12 and it shall give forth this water." 42:14 What a merciful God? How long suffering is, 42:19 for forty years he had done this thing and he 42:21 shut the water off. And no matter well you say 42:23 hours they're saying, oh we can't take it, 42:26 we want to go back, we want to go back, 42:28 and God in his mercy he simply says to them, 42:30 tell Moses and Aaron to come out, said take 42:32 your rod and say look, tap the, talk to the rock, 42:34 speak to the rock and what's going to happen? 42:37 Oh! He said, it's going to do what? 42:40 It's going to give water? Speak ye to the rock. 42:48 Very interesting, when God said to Moses and 42:51 Aaron. Interesting, I believe this is a test, 42:54 now you just give you a little food for thought 42:55 here because he told Aaron, he said take the 42:58 rod, if you have the rod in your hand and things 43:02 are not going properly. Some, sometime we're 43:05 going to use it. Could it have been a test. 43:08 Moses and Aaron were saying with the people, 43:12 but God said, did you just do as you speak to 43:14 the rock and it's going to give forth water. 43:19 And it be enough for the people and be 43:21 enough for the, the beast. "And Moses took the 43:23 rod before the Lord, as he commanded." 43:25 Verse 10, "Moses and Aaron gather the 43:27 congregation together before the rock and 43:29 he said, hear now ye rebels; keep that in mind. 43:34 Here now ye rebels; must we fetch you 43:38 water out of this rock? Moses lifted up his 43:40 hand, with his rod he smote the rock twice 43:44 and water came out abundantly, and the 43:45 congregation drank, and the beast also." 43:49 You know, what God could have done and 43:50 been very just, Moses disobeyed God right 43:53 then and right there. God said speak, Moses 43:57 struck the rod twice. Moses held really 44:00 accountable because Moses understood 44:02 who the rock represented? You and I need to know 44:05 who the rock represented. 44:10 We have to overcome our defects of character 44:13 too, as Christ overcame. So, it be good for us to 44:19 identify as quickly as we can in our time that, 44:23 how Moses offended God, as the people had 44:27 offended God. And most people will 44:29 talk about Moses, they'll say, well he did 44:31 this or, there is, there is several areas here that 44:34 Moses needs some improvement on just 44:37 like we do today. Let's get into it quickly 44:39 as we can, number one. Moses when he spoke 44:42 to the people, he spoke from irritated feelings. 44:46 Not from a you know, we call that human 44:49 passion. Not from a, a holy indignation, 44:58 but there was passion and the people 45:00 understood the passion and maybe the, 45:02 the feelings was going on, he was, he was 45:03 angry with the people, he was angry because 45:08 God had been dishonored. Now, listen what he 45:12 said was true. What Moses said was true. 45:17 But you know what? You need, we to be 45:19 careful how we speak the truth. 45:22 And because some things are true, doesn't 45:24 mean that you need to be repeating it or I need 45:27 to be repeating it. If it will hurt somebody 45:29 else's character dear friend you never should 45:31 repeat. Even if it's the truth. Here it's very 45:34 clear, what Moses said was the truth, 45:38 but even truth is not to be spoken with 45:45 impatience and passions. God help us, even the 45:51 truth is not to be spoken with impatience, wow! 45:59 Number two, Moses was to charge Israel 46:02 with rebellion. He was to charge Israel 46:08 with rebellion because they were rebelling, 46:11 but he went further. God said, let them 46:13 know. They rebelled against the God of 46:15 heaven, but Moses went a little bit farther, 46:19 he accused them, you and I both know who 46:23 the accuser of the brethren is? 46:25 But there's too many of us who profess to be 46:27 Christians, as always pointing a finger, 46:28 always accusing somebody else of doing 46:30 something you have no idea of what they've 46:31 done, you have no proof of what they've done? 46:33 You haven't seen anything, but you are 46:35 an accuser of the brethren. You're following the 46:37 devil's footsteps. Manly, Godly man is 46:44 Moses, God said tell them they've rebelled 46:47 and he accused them and you know what 46:50 we'd say, he didn't, we didn't really accuse 46:54 vthem because that's what they were doing? 46:57 Moses himself call them rebels, you rebels. 47:03 And that is already with the thought in mind that 47:05 when he said you, you know, you rebels that 47:08 means you disobedient, you grievous bunch of 47:12 people here. You're provoking God, 47:17 you're provoking me. God never asked him 47:20 to go that far and he did. 47:27 Aggrieve, inspiration said, aggrieve the spirit 47:31 of God, see God help us. How often we aggrieve 47:34 his Spirit by our response, by the way in which 47:38 we've said some. Now, I hear this all time, 47:40 it's the truth, doesn't matter if it's the truth 47:43 or not, be careful what we say, 47:46 if we're a child of God. You're one of those get 47:49 even type and you're trying to prove a point 47:51 and you're trying to bring somebody down, 47:52 you're gonna do the work of the devil, 47:53 you already are. Number three, 48:00 lack of patience and self control for Moses and 48:07 for Aaron was evident. This gave Israel, the 48:12 children of Israel an opportunity say, 48:14 the leaders did it, Moses did it, and Aaron did it, 48:17 so if they did it, it must be alright for us to do it. 48:21 They acted this way, so we can act this way, 48:24 and that would make excuses for the way 48:26 they conducted themselves. You never want to be 48:29 into the point of making of where you, people 48:32 can look at you and make excuses for why 48:35 they're doing the wrong thing. 48:37 Jesus said, be better to tie a millstone around 48:38 your neck than be the wrong example. 48:43 Number four, Moses said, must we fetch you 48:46 water out of this rock. Must we fetch you, here 48:50 it shows, when he did this, he showed distrust 48:54 in God. How many times have you heard 48:56 that? Must we draw water out of this rock, 48:59 fetch it out. Verse 12 makes it very clear 49:03 because it says, we want you to believe, 49:07 but you believe not. God said to Moses, well 49:09 you wish to believe, but you believe not. 49:12 In other words, Moses did not trust God after 49:14 all that he went through for a moment Moses 49:17 never trusted God. Moses said, virtually 49:21 to the people that were around because most of 49:23 the time Israel thought that Moses and Aaron 49:25 were working all these miracles anyway. 49:28 They always attribute it and that's why they 49:30 blame Moses, but when Moses said must we do 49:33 this, they said that, oh people all this is what 49:35 we've always thought. Moses is the one 49:36 responsible for this. Oh, God says, no we 49:41 can't do that. Moses wasn't working the 49:44 miracles. Number five, if Moses and Aaron 49:47 had exercised their, their authority. 49:51 This is something we need to pay attention 49:53 to in the church, it's really lacking. 49:56 People say, well that's he just, he's just an 49:58 elder, be careful. He's just a preacher, 50:01 be careful. God talks about the preachers in 50:05 the last days. The Book of Revelation, 50:07 he talks about their stars in his hand. 50:08 Doesn't mean everybody is, 50:09 doesn't mean ever pastor is really called of God. 50:12 But those pastors are laboring for the souls 50:14 of salvation, they love Jesus. 50:16 Yes, they're human like Moses and Aaron, 50:19 but if you know they love Jesus with all their heart. 50:22 You know, they're doing their best; 50:23 they're trying to give you the truth of God's 50:25 word. They deserve a little respect. 50:30 And we need to listen to them. 50:34 The people didn't listen and Moses and Aaron 50:37 didn't do what God had given, God had given 50:39 them authority. When God calls you, and if 50:41 he calls you into the ministry it's because 50:43 God has called you in there, and he's anointed 50:46 you and given you power, 50:52 but how little do people really understand that, 50:59 very little respect going on. Try to understand 51:03 well they have to deserve, listen. 51:04 If God has called a person into the 51:07 ministry, and God saying look they, they 51:10 you should honor and respect them as long as 51:13 they're following, preaching, 51:14 teaching the Bible. Listen 'Cause God said, 51:17 I'm chosen to speak through them, as he 51:19 chose to spoke through, speak through Moses 51:21 and then Aaron. And so, as we see here, 51:25 if Moses and Aaron had quickly decisively 51:30 as that door was open and things were 51:32 beginning to happen, and they could have 51:33 stopped that murmuring and complaining. 51:36 a different outcome it would have been, 51:38 if Moses and Aaron come up and said, 51:40 look as the leader here this is gonna stop 51:43 and you realize in the church today many 51:45 places around. There are people in 51:46 leadership, they need to come to the point when 51:48 there's murmuring and complaining, this is not 51:50 right, they need to step up and say, 51:51 look that's enough. And the people need to 51:54 love and respect them enough to say, okay, 51:57 we're here. It could have been stopped, 52:01 oh well how, how it's so different? 52:05 Number six, quickly, simply Moses and 52:07 Aaron assumed power that belonged to God, 52:10 and God only. Number seven, Moses robbed 52:16 the people of this lesson. Notice it, I don't want 52:18 to rob you of it, I don't want to be robbed of it. 52:21 Moses robbed the people. The rock as we all 52:23 know, the rock is, was a symbol of whom? 52:26 Good, a symbol of Jesus Christ. 52:29 Jesus Christ who had once been smitten as 52:32 Jesus was once offered to bare our sins, 52:35 Hebrews 9 says, how often was he to bare 52:38 our sins, to die? One time he was to die. 52:41 The second time, he only needed to speak 52:45 to the rock as we need to only ask God for 52:49 blessings right now. He doesn't have to die 52:52 again; we just need to ask him now. 52:55 Once that he gave his life by smiting the rock 52:59 the second time, the significance of the, 53:02 the beautiful figure of Christ was destroyed 53:06 for the people. God knew this, Christ. 53:11 The Bible said, smitten of God. 53:14 Wounded for our transgression, bruised 53:17 for our iniquity in Isaiah 53. 53:22 You see the streams that flooded of water 53:24 that flow, the streams of the blood of Calvary 53:27 flows out today for you and for me for a lost 53:30 and dying world. Will you participate, 53:35 he's gave his life blood flowing as it were at 53:39 Calvary, big enough stream, large enough 53:42 stream for every mankind, any person 53:45 whoever wants to accept Jesus, 53:48 that blood that flood at Calvary. 53:51 Today Jesus speaks to us as he does, 53:53 turn quickly to Book of John, our last passage. 53:56 John chapter 7:33, John chapter 7, please listen 54:01 to these words very carefully, verses 37 54:03 through 39, 37 through 39. 54:10 Said, "In the last days, the great day of the 54:12 feast, Jesus stood up saying, If any man 54:15 thirsts let him come unto me and drink. 54:20 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath 54:23 said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of 54:27 living water." Oh, what encouragement. 54:30 But as he spake here of the spirit of which they 54:33 should believe on him and should receive for 54:35 the Holy Ghost hath not yet given; because Jesus 54:38 was not yet glorified. Oh friend, do you, you 54:42 want a drink from that well that never runs dry. 54:46 You want to be able to participate in that blood 54:48 that was shed in our behalf to cleanse us 54:49 whiter than snow. When that door of 54:52 opportunity opens up for us, the door of 54:56 providence, we've got to go through it and 54:57 because Israel didn't go through that, and they 54:59 didn't do what was right, they had to go 55:01 around Edom, they had to fight more battles, 55:03 it was a long time in getting there because 55:05 they didn't go through the door when the door 55:07 was open, don't you? Be guilty of that, I don't 55:09 want to be guilty of that. Let's pray right 55:11 now that God will help us, to have spiritualized 55:13 sight that we may see and that we 55:15 may hear his voice. Merciful Father in 55:17 heaven, we thank you for your precious word, 55:20 for the door that's been opened for each and 55:22 everyone of us, may we go through that door 55:24 quickly so the enemy has no time to come in 55:27 and to rob us of the blessings which you 55:28 want to give us. I thank you, give your praise 55:31 and give your honor and glory, work up on 55:33 the hearts of your people right now that 55:35 they may accept you now while the door's 55:37 open in Jesus name, amen. 55:41 I invite you by the way while the door's still 55:43 open, to come to Jesus while there's, 55:45 while there's time. I just want to say from 55:48 bottom of my heart, appreciate this station, 55:50 bringing you these programs, please pray 55:52 for them. Help them financially and by 55:55 the way please send a Behold the Lamb, 55:56 we could use it, so that we can get this gospel 55:58 in all of the world, we love you, we look 55:59 forward to seeing you next time. 56:03 Welcome back friends, did you find 56:06 encouragement and comfort in that 56:08 message? I truly hope so. Allow me to share 56:12 with you in closing a quote that I found in 56:15 Manuscript Releases Volume Eleven, 56:19 "If you watch and wait and pray, Providence 56:23 and Revelation will guide you through all 56:26 the Perplexities that you will meet, so that you 56:30 will not fail nor become discouraged." 56:32 Boy what a promise. "Time will outline the 56:36 beauty and grandeur of Heaven's plan. 56:39 It is difficult for human minds to comprehend 56:44 that God in His providence is working 56:47 for the world through a feeble instrument." 56:50 That's us right? "To know God in the 56:53 working out of His providence 56:54 is true science. There is much 56:58 knowledge among men; but to see the designs of 57:02 heavenly wisdom in times of necessity, 57:05 to see the simplicity of God's plan revealing 57:09 His justice and goodness and love, 57:12 and searching out the hearts of men, 57:15 this many fail to do. His plan seems too 57:20 wonderful for them to accept, and thus they 57:22 fail to be benefited. But Providence is still in 57:27 our world, working among those who are 57:30 grasping for the truth. These will recognize 57:34 the hand of God. But His Will not be revered 57:38 by those who trust in their own wisdom." 57:42 Friends, we have much to learn and we have 57:46 much to re-learn in the school of Christ. 57:49 If you would like a copy of today's message 57:52 to further aid you in your personal studies, 57:55 we are making this message available to 57:58 you for a love gift of only $8 or more. 58:02 So, please contact us today, you may write 58:05 Behold the Lamb Ministries at PO Box 58:08 2030, Herrin, IL 62948, or give us a call, 58:14 that's Central Standard Time at area code 58:16 618-942-5044.
