Well, we have a new president I'm so proud of him his last eight years of Taught me to appreciate him
00:19
He actually reads his Bible every morning God does not tell us after we have done something wrong
00:32
Do you ever think about it He tells you before We do it anyhow, but he never says a word
00:42
I Received an email this week.
00:48
I would like to share with you. I Passed it on to some of you not all of you got it
00:56
Unless the other party shared it with you But act like you haven't heard it before But those that wait upon the
01:06
Lord shall renew their strengths They shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary They shall walk and not faint
01:20
That's found in Isaiah 40 31 He is the first and the last the beginning and the end
01:31
He is the keeper of creation and the creator of all he is the architect of The universe and the manager of all things
01:41
He always was he always is and he always will be
01:50
Unmoved unchanged undefeated and never undone
01:56
He was bruised and brought healings he was pierced and he's pain
02:04
He was persecuted and brought freedom He was dead and brought life.
02:10
He is risen and brings power He reigns and brings peace
02:17
The world cannot understand him the armies cannot defeat him
02:24
The schools cannot explain him and the leaders can't ignore him
02:32
Here it couldn't kill him The Pharisees couldn't confuse him the people
02:41
Couldn't hold him Nero couldn't crush him Hitler couldn't silence him
02:50
The New Age can't replace him And Donahue cannot explain him away
03:00
He is right love And the
03:05
Lord he is goodness and kindness Gentleness and God He is holy righteous mighty powerful and pure His ways are right
03:20
His word is eternal His will is unchanging and his mind is on me
03:29
He Is my Redeemer he is my Savior he is my guide and he is my peace
03:36
He is my joy. He is my comfort. He is my Lord and he rules my life.
03:43
I Serve him because his bond is sure His burden is light
03:51
His goals for me is abundant life I Follow him because he is the wisdom of the wise the power of the powerful
04:03
The ancient of days the ruler of rulers the leader of leaders the overseer of overcomers and the sovereign
04:13
Lord the Lord of all That was is and is to come
04:21
And if that seems impressive to you Try this for size
04:27
His goal is a relationship with me He will never leave me
04:35
He will never forsake me He will never mislead me
04:41
He will never forgive me never overlook me and never cancel my appointments in his appointment book
04:53
When I fail when I fall he lifts me up When I fail he forgives
05:01
When I'm weak he is strong when I'm lost he is my way when
05:06
I'm afraid he is my courage When I stumble He steadies me when
05:14
I hurt he heals me When I'm broken He mends me
05:21
When I'm blind he leads me When I'm hungry he feeds me
05:28
Whether I face trials he is with me when I face persecution he shields me
05:38
When I face problems he comforts me When I face loss he provides for me
05:47
When I face death he carries me home He is everything for everybody everywhere
05:56
Every time and every way he is God He is faithful.
06:02
I am his and He is mine My father in heaven can whip the father of this world
06:13
So if you're wondering why I feel so secure understand this He said it and that settles it
06:23
God is in control. I am on his side. That means all is well with my soul
06:32
Every day is a blessing for God Now I would like for you to turn to Psalms 139
07:02
Prophet David called me yesterday evening again
07:07
And Said he was not going to make it He wished that I would
07:15
Take over Which I attempt to do We need to pray for him
07:28
But he is staying in bed That's unusual
07:37
Psalms 139 let's look at this To the chief musician a psalm of David O Lord thou has searched me and know me
07:50
Thou knowest my down sittings and mine uprising Thou understandest my thought afar off Neither our actions our thoughts
08:03
Or any part of our life can be hid from God Though he seems to be afar off yet.
08:12
He is near I Can not so much as take a seat or leave it without being marked by thee
08:21
I Can't sit down. I can't get up. I can do nothing, but what he has marked it
08:31
We get accustomed to the thought of that God made the Sun the sky the moon the stars
08:38
Which he has ordained and we bow to the fact that They are the work of his fingers
08:48
Can you imagine? Making the Sun the stars the moon the planets as a work of his fingers
08:58
Small Thou understandest my thought afar off Billy knows what we're thinking and he knows what we're going to thank my thought that is every thought
09:15
Though innumerable thoughts pass through me in a day The divine knows each to their source and fountain
09:26
Before they are out of our thoughts if the
09:33
Lord knows them before their existence Before they can be properly called ours
09:41
Much more does he know them when they were actually Spring up in us.
09:47
He knows the tendency of which we think Where the bird will light when it is in flight
09:59
He knows them exactly Of all of the animals in the world of everything
10:10
He knows before He is therefore called a discerner or Criticizer of the heart
10:26
Thou understandest my thoughts afar off Russell he knows what
10:32
I'm going to thank before I think I'm going to thank it How does one think how do you think?
10:42
Do you think about what you're going to think? Can you think of that what you're going to think about?
10:55
Can you verge? What causes you to think?
11:07
God is the only being that knows what you are going to think about more than that He knows what you're going to think about right now
11:18
Only he knew it way back in eternity past Can you imagine such a
11:27
God He knew ahead of time we'd all be here this morning He knew right where you were going to sit
11:38
He knew when you were going to get up he knew what we're going to have to eat He knows everything he knows where the birds
11:49
Where a bird flies verse 3
11:57
Thou compassed my path and my lying down and aren't acquainted with all of my ways
12:06
As air surrounds us all So the presence of his
12:12
Holy Spirit Surrounds us Air is all around us inside outside Next door every place
12:27
God is more than that for there is not a word in my tongue.
12:34
Oh Lord Thou knewest it all together Verge he doesn't know what where you're going to sit.
12:43
He knows what you're going to say. He knows what you're thinking right now Thou has beset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me
12:57
He has beset me behind Everything that has happened up to now and everything that will happen
13:04
From here on out. He knows when I'm going to die He knows when
13:12
Young David back there is going to die Hebrews 4 13
13:20
Neither is there any creature That is not manifest in his sight
13:27
But all things are naked and open under the eyes of him with whom we have to do
13:35
Everything Dying every little jot and tittle
13:43
The smallest the largest he knows it all Such knowledge is too wonderful for me
13:56
It is high. I cannot attain unto it such knowledge
14:02
I Cannot grasp it. I can talk about it.
14:09
I can think about it, but I cannot think what it is. I Can hardly endure to think about it
14:19
The theme overwhelms me I'm amazed and astounded at it such knowledge
14:33
Is not only surpassed My comprehension but even my imagination
14:41
Charlie Can you imagine anything that God cannot already know?
14:50
He knows what you're going to imagine Just as the people in Genesis Were evil continually
15:02
He knew it ahead of time Just as every embryo of every imagination of every thought
15:11
He knew it ahead of time Whether shall
15:17
I go from thy spirit Or whether shall I flee from thy presence?
15:24
Is there any place you can go? Next time you're going to sin find someplace where God can't see you
15:32
It's impossible if I send up into heaven thou art there
15:39
If I make my bed in hell behold thou art there The word hell means grave
15:48
If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth Even there shall thy hand lead me
15:58
And thy right hand shall hold me Isn't it great that we have a
16:04
God Such as this If I say surely the darkness shall cover me even the night shall be light about me
16:18
Yea the darkness Hideth not from thee But the night shineth as the day the darkness of the night of the light are both alike to thee
16:37
Clarence have you ever seen your face? Do we see the objects in this auditorium
16:58
We see only reflections That's all We say well, that's real.
17:05
I can touch that No, you touch Where the reflection has showed you that it is
17:14
Now can God see everything what if we turn the lights off There is no night or day with the
17:29
Lord That's for us We can see only when there is light because we see only the reflection of things
17:39
And there is no reflection where there is no light
17:44
Is that true or false? There's no reflection except when there's light on it
17:53
That's right The Lord does not need a reflection he can see the real thing
18:02
Now we think that this podium is made of wood But that's just what
18:09
I see So I call it real But I see only the reflection of the light off of it
18:22
All we have ever seen is a reflection of the thing So even that which we can handle
18:31
Is but a reflection of the real The real is spiritual and we cannot see it
18:40
Why? Why Bill? We're not yet spiritual
18:49
We shall be I wonder what it would be like then I think we'll be able to see things like we've never understood before we've never
19:02
Comprehended what it will be like Our imagination cannot go to that area
19:14
But the Lord can and he does I find that in every place I can be
19:19
And every place I cannot be You're there For thou has possessed my reins
19:29
Now, what does he mean by that Debbie? Thou has covered me in my mother's womb.
19:40
I Will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made
19:47
Marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right. Well My substance was not hid from thee
19:56
When I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth
20:01
Thine eyes did see my substance yet being Unperfect and in thy book
20:09
All my members were written which is countenance which in countenance were fashioned
20:17
Continuance were fashioned When as yet there was none of them
20:25
He knows ahead of time
20:32
What my great -grandfather was doing? He knows what my great -great -grandchild will be doing
20:44
Why is it that God knew and knows the shape the form and nationality height weight color size of people?
20:52
We're all different We're all born in this area We've lived in this area why
21:02
Okay, why did he place you here You thought his cause David asked you to come down Russell you thought that Your schooling and so forth brought you here
21:17
Did it? They and I thought that the house we found brought us here
21:26
It didn't Is it because he is the very one that made all things
21:35
It has to be doesn't it Romans 11 36 four of him through him to him
21:48
Are all things to whom be glory forever Amen Everything is to him from him for him by him
21:58
Everything 17 how precious also
22:06
Are thy thoughts unto me O God? How great is the sum of them?
22:13
If I should count them there are more in number than the sands when
22:19
I Awake, I'm still with thee You ever think about at night?
22:28
When you finally go to sleep That he's with you You're not in control
22:36
You've gone off to sleep But he's with you Surely thou wilt slay the wicked
22:47
O God depart from me therefore ye bloody men For they speak against thee wickedly and thine enemies take thy name in vain
23:00
How many times in this past week have you heard the Lord's name taken in vain none
23:11
No one heard anything Do not
23:19
I hate them O Lord that hate thee And am not
23:24
I grieved with thee that rise up against thee Do we hate those that hate
23:30
God? We say we do now, but do we really I? Hate them with perfect hatred
23:42
I'll count them mine enemies Search me.
23:50
Oh God and know my heart and my thoughts and See if there be any wicked way in me lead me in the way
24:07
Everlasting is there any wicked way? In any person that we want to get rid of Is everybody above perfection
24:21
There are those who think so But they're so far below they think they're
24:27
I Don't know what they think And see if there be any wicked way in me
24:46
And lead me in the way Everlasting I Wonder As we come to the close of this brief lesson
25:03
Do we understand God do we know
25:09
God let me hear you
25:21
We think we know him we think we can explain him
25:28
But Charlie we can't He is beyond all explanation he is beyond all
25:40
Seeing He sees it all he knows it all
25:46
All everything has been made for him How dare we claim something that we made?
25:54
Even that we made he knew he's going to make it and Made it possible
26:06
Let's stand and we'll be dismissed urge dismisses, please
26:40
Christian man, I'm kid Sure, we have here that we all gathered one of the
26:47
Lord Lord You love it that much Understand more what you revealed to us each day or not.
26:56
Thank you for the new president. We have Right His strength or that he will continue to serve
