LATE NIGHT SERMON PREPARATION (1 KINGS 19:9-18)

0:00Hello and welcome. I'm so glad you joined me and I'm so glad you're here. Hit that like button thumbs up so I know you're here and I'm Pastor George Pan. Thank you for planting the seeds of the gospel and saving more souls by sharing this video. Well, we're saying just to Jesus forever. Amen. So tomorrow I'll be preaching on 1st Kings, chapter 19, verse 9 to 18 and this passage is after, well Elijah, his great victory on Mount Carmel, where he faced off against 850 false prophets about false idols and then he defeated them. He even killed them and had them gone. Hello Jacob. Hello, hello, wolf. Yeah and then after that, he expected that the Israelites, they were turned back to God, but they did not. Instead, when King Ahab told Jezebel about what Elijah did, she was so

1:07mad, outraged and so she chased him down and said, kill him. I want to bounty on him. And so that's why we're going to be picking off when Elijah is depressed. He's down. And even like first leap, staying and praying, God, kill me. Take my life. But God instead let him rest and gave him food, gave him cake, gave him water and then gave him enough strength in order to go and then go and do the good works. And that's where we're going to pick up. So Elijah went to Mount Sinai. Hello, Stormy. Hello, everyone. And here, here we are, picking it off. I should read it first. Yeah. It says, then he came there to a cave and launched there and behold, the word of the

2:11Lord came to him and he said to him, what are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars and killed your prophets with a sword. And I alone am left. I'm the one one and only left. And they seek to take my life away. And when God said, go forth and stand on the mountain before the Lord and behold, the Lord was passing by. And a great strong wind was rendering the mountains and breaking the pieces of rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in earthquake. After earthquake, there was fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire was sound of a gentle blowing when Elijah heard it. He wrapped his face in his mantle and covered it up. And then he said, what did he say? And

3:14went out and stood at the entrance of the cave and behold, a voice came to him and said, what are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. I love God too, amen. And then for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have forgotten, they have turned it down. And torn down your altars and killed your prophets with a sword. And I alone am left and they seek my life and take away. Well, the Lord said to him, go, return the way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when you have arrived, you shall anoint, Hazel, King of Aval. Hazel, Hazel, Hazel, King of Aval. And Jahu, the son of Nimshi, and you shall anoint the King of Israel. And Elijah, the son of Shafat, Abel, Mehola, you shall anoint as prophet in your place. And he shall come about the one who escapes the sword of Hazel, Jahu shall

4:17put to death. And the one who escapes the sword of Jahu, Elijah shall put to death. Yet I will leave one of seven thousand in Israel, all needs that have not bowed down to bow in every mouth that has not kissed him. Wow, we can see how God is at work, how he is brilliant, how he's strong, how he never lets it down, amen. And so we're going to go in this passage and just really look into what this passage looks like. And if you like, this is a date, almost like a daily devotion, but I know people are so blessed by it. So as I study it, you're studying it, and we're both studying it together. And it's a win-win, guys. So I'm excited for this. So here, Elijah, he encountered the and encountered that encouraged him and challenged the dear prophet of God, Elijah. And after arriving

5:20at Mount Sinai, you know what that Mount Sinai is? The Mount Sinai is where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Mount Sinai was where Aaron and the Israelites created the golden calf. Mount Sinai was where Moses came face to face with God. And so Elijah went into the cave and in Hebrew, the definite article, the, is used to indicate the cave. And this fact could be significant, for it could be referring to some particular cave that Moses has used when he was confronted by God on Mount Sinai. And whatever the case, Elijah went into a particular cave and spent that night. And then what happened is a strong encouragement to the heart of any believers who is a community in this encouragement. You see, Elijah, he was discouraged, he was depressed, he was going through some desperate times, despair, hopelessness. And during that time, he even

6:27wanted to take his own life. But he did not, because God provided for him, because God protected them and God had greater plans for him. And so that's why we when we read this, we can learn, hey, when you are going through tough times, God knows exactly what you're going through. Even when things are ending, even when things are going crazy and going well, we can still feel this point. You see, right now, my YouTube is taking off like crazy, but I still, my heart, I don't really feel much. I really don't. The people around me doesn't change. The people who talk to me don't change. My life is the same. And plus, I don't get paid by any of this. But I know what is invisible, what is unseen is for eternal eternity. And that's why I know that God is the eternal God. And the rewards that I get is in heaven. I don't long for the praises of man and the songs and

7:35honor from people. No, I don't long for materialistic things. I long for your souls to be saved, your souls and your life to be encouraged and to be built up upon the firm foundation of our one Lord Jesus Christ. So whatever you're feeling, I know that God is able to lift you higher. God is able to bring you into a better place, amen? So either while he was sleeping or right after he awoke, Elijah, he was confronted by the Lord God with a very specific question. Elijah, what are you doing here in Mount Sinai? Filled with despair, Elijah responded that he had faithfully served the Lord, but the people had not responded to his challenge. Instead, they rejected God's covenant, destroying his worship centers, his temples, and killing the righteous prophets of the God. And now only he felt like only he was left among God's prophets and that the Israelites were

8:39even trying to kill him too, for there was a bounty on his head. And know how Elijah felt all alone. And as though he was the only person in the nation who was serving God, he felt defenseless, helpless, against the threat of the queen, evil queen, Jezeba, and his discouragement was blinding him to the truth of God's presence and his power to deliver his people from the hands of all enemies. God has the power, God has the presence in order to deliver, deliver you from the hands of all enemies. No devil, no demons, no human, no society can hold you down because we know our God is more powerful. Our God delivers us out of bondage, out of difficult times, amen? Amen. So, Shalom, not responding to Elijah's complaint. The Lord, the Lord invited his dear servant to come

9:47out of the cave, come out of the cave, a Mount Sinai, and to stand in his presence. And once outside, several spectacular events occurred rapidly. But no, God was not present. He did not meet Elijah's needs through these spectacular events. You see, we as humans, we love to see fireworks because it's so spectacular. We love to see things explode. We love to see things just so glamorous, like gold and silver. And we love to see things happen, like magic. We love it. It's spectacular. And these signs are like the signs that God has shown. We see it on TV. We see it on In front of us. But these are signs. And sometimes many of these signs that are so spectacular, but, you know, people, their hearts are still hardened. They're just like, oh, this is just entertainment. Oh, this is not important. Hello, Shalom. Thanks for becoming a member,

10:51glory to God, and nodal. Hello. And so what did Elijah see? Elijah saw the ferocious windstorm striking the mountains, a windstorm, so fierce that the mountains were even split apart, and the rocks were shattered by the Lord's presence. But the Lord's presence was not there. Amen. Hello, Mary Gail. Julian Chi, my brother, I hope you're doing good. Are you in SF? Or are you back here? Hey, glory to God for he is good. I'm just preparing for tomorrow's sermon. Just doing a small devotion. And this is going to be tomorrow's sermon. So if you're going to be here, then I look forward to that. Amen. And then there was a, so there was a storm. There was that windstorm that split the whole mountain into pieces, but God with his presence was not in that storm. There was earthquake and a blazing fire that erupted on the mountain. It's

11:53like the volcano, right? But the Lord was not in the dramatic fire. In the past history, God used all the of these events to symbolize his presence. He said, you're back in Fremont. Welcome back. You're sick, so I can't make it to my eyes. But I try to come next week. Hey, glory to God. I pray in Jesus' name that you allow Julian Chi to experience your radical health and healing power that in Jesus' name, our germs, our headaches, our mucuses all go away because we know that God's healing power is true. And you are the great physician. Lord, I pray in Jesus' name that you bring healing, so you know, quick healing. We love you, God, in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Is a bell back? Well, today we actually had a senior celebration appreciation. And we had five seniors, Mandy, Andy, Erin, Toby, and Benson. So it was really cool. And then yeah, and we were

13:01able to pray for them, bless them, send them off. Even though some are still going to stay local, Benson stayed local at a cow state in Haywood. And then Mandy stayed at Olone, and then we have Andy going to stand with a state. But yeah, these are all young college students who are still going to be around. And we should totally start a college group. Oh, well, yeah. That's a great idea. It's both still in busy in college. And she has a quarter system. I see a man lazy. Yeah, you see, God is working, even in our youth, offline, online. And yeah, I think today's the biggest day of the subscriber increase of 15,000. I believe maybe later I'll get 20,000. But I'll see. And this weekend, this week's been just like a huge increase. So still looking for that, one million subscribers before baby pan comes. But you know, glory is God. Glory to God. Hey,

14:08I look forward to seeing you and talking to you. You know, it's so cool. And I love to hear your guitar, your music, even your piano. I'm like, wow, that's so brilliant. And you're singing, man. I want to hear you sing more on stage as well. So June, there's going to be plenty of opportunities to serve. And I would love to hear that. To see you hone your skill to serve the Lord. It's so wonderful. Amen. Yeah. So there was earthquake. It was like volcano, a blazing fire. But not this time. God was not present in that time. Even though he was spectacular in the past through these fire, through this wind, through the pillar of fire, the pillar of the clouds, these spectacular miracles before the people were demonstrating God's enormous power and events to prove that the Lord is the one and true living God. And obviously Elijah had begun to

15:11depend on the sensational to expect repentance due to these amazing events. But it is starting God's way to reach people through incredible demonstrations of his power. Usually he moves upon hearts with a still small voice. This Elijah heard. And so after these spectacular events, there was a quiet gentle whisper of God's voice. And in Psalms, it says, be still and know that I am your God. Just like even in Psalm chapter 23, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He leads me by still water. And he lays me down on green pastures. It's still water. And so that's where we hear God. And so during this whisper, Elijah was gripped with shame and humbled himself before the Lord. Broken, he poured his cloak over his face. And slowly, but surely, Elijah was learning

16:18a great lesson that God reveals himself by speaking to the Spirit. The heart of man, wow. You see, nowadays God speaks to you through words, to your heart, whether it's through other people's voices, whether it's through the Word of God, whether it's through prayer. God has many ways to speak to you. Yes, he can show his power in miraculous ways, like his healing power. But he can also do it in just like, financially, relationally, physically, spiritually. He can do it in so many ways. But what really matters is that still small voice of God. And slowly, but surely, Elijah was learning a great lesson that God reveals himself by speaking to your Spirit, the heart of man. And it is through the movement of the heart, your heart, that God can fix and

17:21move the person to repentance. And Elijah should not expect people to respond to events with such windstorms, earthquakes, and fire just because they were extraordinary or sensational. For it was the voice, the Word of God that convicted people and allows them to forsake their sin and to turn to him. And the lesson is super clear, guys. It would be his word that changes the heart of the people. Thus, what the people need is the Word of the Lord, proclaimed by Elijah, the Word of the Lord that is written in the scripture, the Word of the Lord that is true. Amen. Do I subscribe to you? Yes, you do. If you want to grow, if you want to learn, if you want to see your life transform for the better. Yes, you do. Amen. And Elijah would advise and go forth and carry the voice of God. His holy word to the people, they would respond. And at least some of them

18:25would repent and turn to the one true God. Some of them would say, yes, Lord, I will follow after you all the days of my life because without him, we are nothing, without him, we are broken, without him, we are lost. But by the grace of God, we've been given a chance to repent and to accept the gift of salvation, the gift of joy, of peace, of love. That is from our Heavenly Father. And you must accept it because if you reject it, then you reject in Jesus. You're rejecting a relationship with him. And after this life, there's going to be that second judgment. And you're going to be an eternal separation from Jesus. But if you say yes to Jesus today, then you're going to have that eternal relationship with him. Amen. Amen. So to stir Elijah's

19:31to advise and return to the people with a new mission, the Lord forcefully repeated his question. Once again, he was asking Elijah what he was doing there in Mount Sinai, still not aroused Elijah, responding with a very same as he had before. He had been very jealous. He had been very faithful in serving the Lord God Almighty and the Lord God of Host. But the Israelites, they have rejected God's covenant, destroying his worship centers and killing faithful prophets of God. And then the same spirit of hopelessness was still gripping the soul of Elijah. Responded once again, he responded that he was alone and was left. And the Israelites were now trying to kill him as well. And with compassion, with gentleness, God did not give up on Elijah. The Lord made Elijah's need. He gave him a new task and encouraged him with obvious

20:35intensity and power in his voice. And the Lord instructed Elijah to get up and go back the very same way he was going and going to the desert of Damascus. There, he was going to annoy Hazel, the king of AM or Syria. Yes, amen. You say yes to Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Jesus forever. And then he was to annoy Jahu, the king over Israel. And finally, he was to annoy Elijah as his own successor. And no white, why these three leaders would complete the task that Elijah had begun, the task of purging bow worship from the land. What a word of encouragement. To God's dear servant, Elijah, that his mission has not been a failure, that he is not alone, that he also has people appointed by God to bless, to anoint at the next leaders.

21:40Next king of Syria, the next king of Israel, the next prophet of God in next generation. And it was being carried by a step by step, by the power of the Lord himself, as the appointed, as he appointed other leaders to continue in the task. And also note that the Lord corrected and encouraged Elijah even more by revealing that he was not alone, not the only believer who was fully and totally committed to the Lord. In fact, there was 7,000 faithful followers of the Lord who had never bowed down their knee to engage in false worship of bow. Wow. So what can you learn from this? What can you take it away from this? Experiencing discouragement, despair, disappointment, hopelessness, losing heart and running away from the Lord. All these things, all these emotions

22:41were flooding Elijah's mind and his body, his soul, they were all weak, coursing through every vein. And he desperately needed to be encouraged and rechallenged by the Lord. He needed to know that he had not been a failure at the task assigned to him. And he needed a new task, a renewed purpose in order to continue ministering. And God met Elijah's very need, that he will meet your need. You see, God met Elijah's need and he will meet your need as well. When you're feeling like a failure, feeling like all is lost, it's not the end. God says, I have better plans for you. I will teach you, I will guide you, I will lead you and I will never forsake you or leave you. I'm always present with you to encourage you, to guide you as you walk step by step in your life. You might not see it yet, but key word yet. It is coming. God is in control. God will strengthen you

23:50to conquer that discouragement and all other emotions that break you down, that pull you down. God will not leave you down, dejected and defeated, wondering what the sense of continuing on with life is. He will not give up on you, for he has good plans for you, for he wants to use you in order to lift his name on high. He wants to use you to save other souls. He wants to use you for his glory. Amen. Therefore, in such discouraging moments, you must learn to turn to the Lord. You must cry out to him in prayer and lay down your burdens and your hearts to him, upon him, trusting him, and if you will open up yourself to him, reveal your true emotions to him, be transparent to him. What will he do? He says, I will bring you peace. I will give you encouragement I will give you all that you need and supply for you, protect you, lead you, guide you, train you,

24:54and show you the way. And either you will conform to that path that you are walking, which was the wrong path, the way of the world, or you will go towards the mission of Jesus Christ and be corrected by him and to be guided by him. And why does he prune you? He prunes you so that you may increase, you may be fruitful and multiply. And so he gives you a mission, a purpose in life, you have meaning and purpose in your life. Amen. And once you prayed, you must turn to the word of God. You must read his word. If you don't hear him, then read it because he's speaking to you through that. Find out how he tells you to live. Find out how Jesus lived, what Jesus said and allow him to say and speak to you instead through the word of God. Amen. Hey, Mark, praise the Lord.

25:57You're awesome, bro. Stay blessed, my guy. Praise the Lord. God is good. And he allowed me to speak at this valley. It was so amazing on this Friday. We had 25 people stand up to recommit their life to Christ and to say, you are my Lord, my Savior, and I'll follow you after you all the days of my life. Amen. And so we must seek the Lord, love the Lord with all our heart, so mine and might and strength. We must follow after him. And he said to ask, annual receive seek and you will find knocking the door will be opened unto you. If you are searching his word and living as he says, obeying and following his commandments, praying and seeking his face day by day, the Lord will be present with you and guide you step by step. And you will come to know the victorious life,

26:59conquering all the discouraging, despairing trials of life, no more hardships or misfortunes will overcome you. But through Christ, you will overcome and you will become more than conquerors. Amen. You have a blessed day as well. Amen. So what can we do? We look into the word of God to support what we're learning here that we should trust that God will meet all of our needs. When we're going through discouragement, depression, we're going through tough times, we know who we are in control. That is our Lord Jesus Christ, who never lets us down, who fights for us. So in Matthew chapter 10, verse 30 to 31, it says, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear for you are more valuable than the sparrows. You are more valuable than the sparrows, the sparrows, the birds of the sky. He takes care of them. You are more valuable

28:06and he will take care of you. Amen. John chapter 15 verse 16, it says, you did not choose me. You did not choose me. You rejected me, but I choose you and I appointed you that you would go and bear fruit and that your fruit would remain so that whatever you ask of the Father, in my name, he may give to you. Wow, he may give it to you when you ask, when you ask, he may give it to you. So ultimately, I'm trying to get comfortable here. Oh, this chair. Oh, I'm kind of wow. Let me sit on a different chair. There we go. There we go. We're getting comfortable here, guys. Getting comfortable. Oh, behind me is a lot of baby products. As you can see right here, a lot of baby products.

29:15So this is my living room. Welcome. I'm so glad you are here and so glad you can join me in this place that we cheer and just study the Word of God and allow the Spirit of the Lord to speak to us, to teach us, to guide us, and to show us what shall we share with each other. Amen. Hello, ghost. Glory to God. I'm glad you are here and you're not here by accident. Amen. Amen. So you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go forth and bring first fruit. Bring forth fruit. God wants you to be fruitful and multiply so that your fruit shall remain and that whoever or whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, you may receive. He may give it to you. So how do you receive? How do you receive from God? So he may give it to you. So whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

30:22Wow. A lot of people think that God is a genius. So he just prayed to him and then he just answers. Well, that's not so. You have to have the right heart. If you're righteous, you walk in his ways, then he will bless you. He will give you of what your heart desires. If it is towards his will, if it is towards increasing him, if it's towards saving more souls, he will. He is a God who promises the God of glory, the God of ultimate, like unlimited wealth and knowledge and wisdom. He is a God that is above all. He is the creator of heaven's earth. He owns the earth in Exodus chapter 19, verse 5. He says, I own the gold in the silver in high guy chapter 2, verse 9. And so he has good gifts for you. But then what does he want you to do? He wants you to bring forth

31:24fruit that your fruit shall remain. What does that mean? So that you would go and bear fruit that your fruit would remain. We mean a lot of fruits are they go rotten after being plucked off their branches. And so God wants your fruits to remain, remain for how long? Is it for eternity? Well, He gives us the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, humility. All these things, these are the fruit of the Spirit. And these same fruit is the same fruit that He commands you to go, bring forth, go bear these fruit. Amen. I'm so blessed today. So blessed. Been able to work with my youth, make some videos and also allow them to be blessed. So I'm blessed as well. But now I'm just studying

32:31for my sermon tomorrow, just looking at the Word of God to just gain more insight from the Word of God so that I can be prepared for my sermon tomorrow as well. Amen. Amen. Hey, hey, hey, hey. First Corinthians, chapter 10, verse 30, 13, it says, there has no temptation taking you, but such is as common to man, but God is faithful. Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able. But with the temptation also make a way to escape so that you may be able to bear it. Where my firm I am from California. I'm in the United States of America. And right now it is 1 a.m. over here. And then I preach at 10, 45 a.m. later. And so I'm going to be able to just praise the Lord,

33:35just studying the Word of God. And so Northern Ireland, pretty cool, pretty cool. Yeah. Wow. That's really awesome. So no temptations has overtaken you, but such as is common to man, God is faithful. Who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you're able. But with the temptation, but the temptation will provide you a way of escape so that you may be able to enjoy it. God is the one that helps us endure through our life, through the pain, through the persecutions. He gives you the Holy Spirit in order to continue growing in Him, in order to continue experiencing His power, His guidance and His leading. Yeah. Amen. I am blessed. I'm blessed. I'm doing great. I'm getting tired, actually. But

34:39I'll continue until I feel ready. But we're really learning here in the story of Elijah. How Elijah experienced God not through the wind, not through the fire, not through the earthquake. He experienced God through still small voice. And so you can also experience God through that still small voice, through prayer, through the Word of God. You can also experience Him. Amen. And He also gives you all that you need. And His will is for you to go forth, bring food, bear fruit, be fruitful, and multiply to allow God to be glorified in your life. Amen. So Elijah, he depressed, disappointed. He feeling like all that he's done was useless,

35:44but the Lord reassures him that it's not useless. He reassures him that he has done good deeds plus because he has been faithful. Because he has been faithful with little, now he can be entrusted with more. And then he has new task, which was to go crown and anoint the next king of Syria, the next king of Israel, and also the next successor of Elijah himself. Who is called Elijah? Amen. I'm seeing the chat. I'm just, I am, I already responded to you, but I'm closing my eyes too, because I'm tired, guys. So if you see my eyes closed, yeah, no, it's not because I'm Asian. My eyes, it opens, okay? It's wide enough. I'm Asian, man, but it's because I'm

36:46tired. Dude, I'm chilling. Yeah, I said ghost. Uh-huh. He did. Thanks for the sub for a long time. Glory to God. And now we're at, how many sub do we have right now? Quite a lot I heard. 2nd Timothy, chapter 1, verse 12, for the which cause I have suffered these things, nevertheless, I'm not ashamed for I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Now, this 2nd Timothy, which written by Paul to Timothy, to the next generation, the 2nd generation Christians in the world. And just like that, it also applies to us. Ha ha ha. You say, it don't matter if you're Asian. Well, people think Asians have smart eyes. When I smile, I have my eyes, but it's not good. Glory to God. Ha ha. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Hey, I'm here to study the word of God.

37:55And I'm here to bless you as well. And to just let God work in our life. But thanks for the thumbs up, for the like, for the support, because that really helps the channel, really helps the video, even though it's not for the likes, not for the subs. But it is for people to have their souls be saved. Amen. And so Timothy, for this reason, I have suffered, suffered these things, but I'm not ashamed of the gospel. For I know whom I have believed, whom have he believed in? He believes in Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior. And I'm assured, and I'm convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted him until that day. God, what did he entrust to him? His life, right? What else did he entrust to God? Hmm. His will. I don't know. I can look into it more.

38:56And then 2nd Timothy, chapter 4, verse 18, it says, you can ask your question, the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will persevere me unto His heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work. He shall deliver me from every evil work. Amen. That's great. The Lord shall rescue me from every evil deed and will bring me to safety His heavenly kingdom. And to be the glory, this glory for ever and ever. Amen. He will rescue you. Did he rescue Elijah? Yes, he did. He rescued Elijah from Queen Jezeba. He rescued Elijah from the false prophets. He rescued Elijah from starving to death when he met that widow and also gave him the ability to revive the widow's son who died.

40:04And then he put himself over this son and then he prayed for the son and then he laid his body over it three times. And then the son rose again and was saved again. And he lived again. How many chapters are there? I don't know what your question is. But in 1st Peter, chapter 5, verse 7, it says, cast all your cares upon him, for he cares for you and behold, I am with you and I will keep you in all the places where you go. And I will bring you again into this land, the promised land, for I will not leave you, nor forsake you until I have done that which I have spoken. So Genesis chapter 28, verse 15, really says and speaks about, about what?

41:12Him bringing us to this land, this promised land, behold, I am with you and I will keep you wherever you go. That means I am with you. You're never alone. You're never alone because God knows what you're going through. Because God wants you to experience more of Him. Well, everybody has different pages. Depends on the font, guys. Not trivial question. I mean, not trivial question, please. Anyways, do you run in chapter 33, verse 27? I mean, thank you for asking, but I don't know. Right now, I'm on a computer at the Bible. It doesn't have pages, by the way. The eternal God is my refuge and the underneath are everlasting arms. And he shall thrust out the enemy from before them and say, destroy them. Second Chronicles chapter 16, verse 9, says, for the eyes of the Lord run to

42:17and fro throughout the whole earth to show himself strong on in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. Their endow has done foolishly. Therefore, from henceforth, thou shall have wars. Well, for the eyes of the Lord, move to and fro throughout eternity. And he may strongly support those whose heart is completely his. And you have acted foolishly. Indeed, from now on, you will surely have wars. So this was like a curse to the Israelite kings who were disobedient, who would not calm out and come through. Oh, wow. I'm so tired, guys. Wow. I'm just feeling like I'm just ranting, but hey, are you guys feeling blessed? Feeling the Word of God being spoken? I'm just praying here, just letting God's Word flow out,

43:21trying to understand it. But then I'm catching myself, losing my word, but it's okay. So God's heart is perfect towards them, even though they have done foolishness. Because they have done foolishness, they will have war. War can be internal, inside yourself. War can be external with other friends in your community or siblings. War can be with other nations. And I believe that they're talking about nations, again, nations. So I'm chapter 18 verse 35, and thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has holding me up, and thy gentleness have made me great. Great. I love that. And the angel of the Lord can't be the round about them that fear him and delivers them. So if you fear the Lord, the angel of the Lord will surround you and deliver you, amen? You can make the biggest

44:26coming ever. Okay, do it. Entertain me. I'm just chilling right now. I'm just chilling right now, guys. In Psalm chapter 91 verse 4, it says, and he shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wing shall thou trust his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. The Lord has been mindful of us, and he will bless us, and he will bless the house of Israel, and he will bless the house of Aaron. Very cool. I love it. Aaron, who is Aaron? Aaron is the brother of Moses. Aaron is the beginning of the line of the biblical priest, the line of Aaron. I'm chilling. I'm chilling, guys. And I'm sleepy. So I'm going to sleep soon,

45:29but I haven't seen anything recently, so. But it's all right. I'll be patient with you. I'll be patient. But yeah, thanks. I think you missed my livestream earlier. But I don't have you on snap right now. So that's the problem. You have to add me again. Oh, you did. You were here. Oh, yeah, you're in the beginning. Yeah. Okay. I thank you. Thank you for that. Yeah. Fear, thou not. For I am with you. Be not just made. For I am your God. And I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Yes. Uh-huh. No worries. Uh-huh. Welcome. I'm so glad. God is good. So don't be afraid.

46:35For I'm with you. I love this. I think this is perfect. I'm with you. I'm your God. And I will build you up. Amen. I'll lift you up with my right hand. Ghostbuster. Yes. For the Lord, for I, the Lord, your God, will hold your right hand, sane until you fear not. I will help you. Say, I love God. A hundred percent, amen. I love you too. I love you too. It's not over. God is working. God is working. Hey, maybe we should do a phone call. Anyways, fear not. For I have redeemed thee. And I have called thee by thy name. And thou art is mine. When thou pass through the waters, I will be with you. And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. And when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned.

47:41Then neither shall the flame kindle upon you. Uh-huh. Oh, I see you going for that. Keep it up. And then I say, chapter 46, verse 4, it says, even to your old age, I am he. And even to gray hairs, I will carry you. And I have made you. And I will bury you. And even I will carry you and deliver you. Amen. Amen. Amen. Oh, God is good. Even to your old age, I will be the same. I am he. I will be the same. And even to the green years, I will bury you. I have done it. I will carry you. And I will deliver you. Amen. Wow, we can learn so much from this.

48:44I'm going to read, flipped down to our earlier passage. I believe it's the 21st. The Lord said, this 1st King's chapter 19, verse 11, the Lord said, go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord. For the Lord is about to pass you by. Oh, God said Himself. He's going to pass by. I'm going to pass by then the great power for wind toward the mountains apart and shattered rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. He was not. So there was wind. And the Lord was not in the wind. He's not limited to the wind. After the wind,

49:46there was an earthquake. But the Lord God was not in earthquake. And after the earthquake came a fire. But the Lord God was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. Then Elijah heard it. He experienced God in that gentle whisper. He heard it and pulled his cloak over his face. And he went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then, a voice said to him, what are you doing here, Elijah? What are you doing at Mount Sinai, where I gave promises to Moses, where I gave the Ten Commandments to Moses, where this golden calf was created, it was here. Oh, man, I don't know if I can hear your voice.

50:56But it'll be nice. You said, Nitya, I love God. A heart, a quadrillion percent. Praise the Lord. I see you got to 11 percent. What time is it for you there? What time is it for you? And when Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face, went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. And then a voice said to him, what are you doing, Elijah? What are you doing, Elijah? This was the second time that God asked. The same question. And he replied, I have been zealous for the Lord, God Almighty. The Israelites, they have rejected your covenant. Hello, Axel, 123. Me too. Are we in the Bay Area together? We are. Are we in the West Coast together? We are. Let's go.

52:01Hey, we got church tomorrow. You say 9, 23 a.m. man. Are you where? Where you at? You up the Northern Islands? Is that Great Britain? Is that England? Is that Norway? Where is that Northern Island? I don't know. I live in the United States of America. You must teach me. You woke up and saw that I was here. Man, Daniel, Daniel, are you popular? Do a lot of people know you? Let me ask you that. Are you popular? Are you famous? You love me? Thanks. And then he replied, I have been very zealous for the Lord. I have been faithful to you. Lord, God Almighty, yet the Israelites, they still

53:05reject your covenant. Your covenant, your promise, the promises of God that were made with Abraham. They broke down your authors. They destroyed it and they raised up false idols, false authors. Why the known facts about my country? I do. I do. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broke down your authors and put your prophets to death by the sword and I am the only one left and now they are trying to kill me too. Can you imagine Elijah, he's depressed, disappointed and desperate in despair because he feels like he's all alone. He feels like there's no one that loves him. He feels like he failed as a prophet. At his job, to turn people back to him, to God, he felt like he failed. And so I'm going to sleep soon. So I'm the only one here left and now they're

54:17trying to kill me too. Queen Jezebel is trying to kill me. No, the Israelites are trying to kill me. The very people I came to minister to, the very people I came to be a prophet to. It's supposed to be an honor yet it's a pain, it's a pain. And then the Lord, He gave him a new task. He gave him a new mission and he said, go back the way you came, go to the desert of Damascus when you get there, anoint Hazel, king of Arem, when you get there to the desert of Damascus. That is Syria. He anointed the king of Syria and later in the different passage, I think in next passage. We're going to see King Ahab against the Syrian king, Ben Haddad. And then it really

55:23causes problems. And so it's a wonder. It's a wonder why. But I believe that Ben Haddad's job was in order to eradicate the false worship of idols about within the kingdom of Israel. Amen. You have no flag. But one day you will have a flag. Well, gotta go. Take care. Thanks for joining. Oh, and the Lord said to him, go back the way you came from towards the desert of Damascus when you get there, anoint Hazel, king of Arem. Also, that's not the only task. Also, anoint Jahu, son of Nishmi, name she, king over Israel.

56:23Name she, king over Israel, an anoint Elisha, son of Shafat, Shafat, from Abel, Mehola, to succeed you as prophet. And Jahu will put to death any who escaped the sword of Hazel and Elijah will put to death any who escaped the sword of Jahu. Hazel, Jahu. Oh, my eyes. And yet I have served seven thousand men in Israel whose knees never bowed down to bow and whose mouth has not kissed him. So Elijah went there and found Elisha son of Shafat. It looks like Snapchat son of Shafat and he was playing with 12 oxen, Yoke of oxen. And he himself was driving the seven pillar to 12 pillar. Who? This is pretty awesome. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him and Elisha then left his oxen and ran after

57:28Elijah. Let me first kiss my father and my mother goodbye. And he said to them, and then I will come to you. Go back. And he replied, what have I done to you? You see, the problem is the parents often discourage them from leaving them because they're like, what about us? Have you forgotten about us? So Elisha left him and went back. And he took his Yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people and they ate. And he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant. Ghostbusters fan, welcome back. Thought you left. Amen. And this shows that you are not alone. Faithfully following God can be lonely. But whatever you do, know that you are not alone. You may be the only Christian in your workplace at your school,

58:31at your family that you know of. But sometimes if you just open your eyes, start talking about you will attract other Christians. Amen. Amen. Hello. Well, I feel like I have been able to touch on what we learned. Now it's time to glorify God by praying to Him. And accepting Him as our Lord and Savior. Lord God, we thank you for your goodness, your mercy. We thank you for your grace and your power. We thank you that you are God overall. You are our God. We thank you that we're not alone and thank you that you are just building us up in order that we may commit our life to you and allow others to commit their life to you and to walk in your ways and to build their

59:33life upon you, Lord God. Father God, we know that they are lost. People are lost hurting for you. We would pray that you would lock the door. That needs to be locked. That you would unlock the door. That needs to be unlocked so that we would walk through it faithfully and walk in your ways and never ever be let down by the Lord our God in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. You seek Lord God to pray that you would allow everyone to be healed in the name of Jesus. All sickness be gone in Jesus name, feeling peace, taking deep breath, and then exhaling, and then taking another deep breath. Oh, Lord God, you're good. My favorite support. I right now watch Basak Baht. So MBA right now. But it's good. It's good. I'm going to go to sleep. Good night,

1:00:41everyone. I love you guys. Take care. Make God bless you. Be with you. And thanks for the thumbs up. For the subscribe, for the like. And I will see you next time for God is good all the time. Amen. Should I go live stream? Should I go live stream two? Yeah, perhaps I should. Maybe. I will consider it in the future as well. Take care. Bye-bye. Your local library is okay. It's okay to cry. You're loved. And you only need to say yes to Jesus to accept Him as your Lord and save you to defend yourself from the demons. And you have to say no to Him because you're given the power of Jesus name to say no to the demons and say be gone. Be gone. Amen. Thank you. I'm ready. Take care.
