Automated transcript. Not reviewed for accuracy.
Good morning. Good morning. It's good to do with you this morning. I love being here with you guys. It's so fun being here. Being here two weeks in a row just gives me the opportunity to talk to you guys more personally. As you were saying earlier, our current pastor has almost five decades worth of friendship. I gave him back. I'm going to go to the North Coast Catholic. We gave him a friendship of sin.
And so it's a tremendous honor and privilege to come down here and share the word about it with you. We're going to jump into a message. We're going to talk about supernatural peace. And I'll think a little bit about why you see that specific qualifier about peace. What we think about what we brought up passage. If you weren't with us last week, I was talking about living a fruitful life.
And I'm just going to do a very short two-week mini-series on the secrets to a fruitful life. And we learned last week from Jesus that God has created us to be fruitful. And to be fruitful is to live a life that's meaningful, significantly. I like that makes a difference. That makes an impact. And God has created you and I to live fruitful lives, to live meaningful lives.
And as soon as we were created, we want that, to hunger for it. And when we get disconnected from that sense of living that fruitful, meaningful life, something in us dies and struggles up. We talked about that last week. We learned from Jesus in his teaching. What he had to say about it. This morning, we're going to learn from the Apostle Paul, the great disciple of Jesus.
And some of the secrets that he had to share with us about living that fruitful life. And I want to go and start with a passage, though, from Jesus to mine. Jesus says this. In talking about peace, he said in John 14, verse 27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled.
And do not be a firm. And talk about it later for the full life. We have to talk about peace. Because without peace, we can survive. We can survive without peace. And all of us have seasons of life and we don't have peace. And we have to get through it. And we're in the beginning. Maybe you're there right now. Don't you, you've got your Sunday clothes on.
You look good. You get the jacket. I'm going to see that. You have to go on. But within the surface, there is a restless, a menace, or anxiety. And there's a lot of peace. We can survive without evil. We can't die. The good gospel is that it is that you're creating God. When Jesus came, you can connect us to God. The presence of God and I said with God, when we connect to God, we connect to the supernatural things.
And with that peace we can provide in every area of life. Is there some area in your life right now where you can really just brush off your head to watch peace? What is the first area of life that comes to mind right now? Maybe it's your wardrobe. Maybe it was just getting ready for church this morning. You know, after this, you're going through that.
I never have what I need to wear for church. And then, you know, if we just had this jacket, or that sweater, or that skirt, that would just be perfect, you know. Maybe the area where you lack peace is, um, maybe it's in your hair now, in your head. I said, oh, my hair lady, I don't know how to wait. Maybe for others of us, it's just a little more serious.
Maybe he knows a lot of peace is getting in a church. What is up to you to get here on time this morning? Because you had a, it cost you your entire savings of peace to get here. And you're bankrupt, and you're sitting here, well, not here. But it even goes deeper for others. It could be that there's a lot of peace in your marriage. It could be that there's a lot of peace in your health.
There's a lot of peace in your finances. It could be that there's a lot of peace in your life. Where do you search that lack of peace? Because this morning God wants to connect with you. And he wants to live in your life with that peace. He doesn't want to give you that peace that the world is. Not that the world is. He wants to give you a peace that is more enduring, more powerful, more energizing, and more indefatigable than any other peace that's going on.
But for others, we don't always relate to peace. Let's talk about anxiety for a second. The answers of peace. Anxiety is defined by some as a future-oriented, blue state. What this means is when we think of anxiety, anxiety is something that is a disorder that is uniquely concerned about the future. It draws its power from our uncertainty of the future.
It's future-focused, and anxiety that we're leading is rooted in our preoccupation and our concerns about how things are going to turn out in the future. It's viscerally felt as a horrible dreadful fit of our stomach. Quickening heart rate, sleeplessness, fatigue, even trembling, headaches, irritability. Yeah, I know. Some of us, we bop right here in the room because we didn't have enough coffee.
Maybe it's deeper than having enough coffee. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in America. Listen to this. As approximately 117 million adults are affected by it. Now, this is a real kicker. Look at this one. And only a third of those people, management or accounting, actually see how. That just shows you we have a problem. And I really feel, as we sit here right now, I hope to comfort you and walk you into this business.
Because if you can relate to anxiety, if you can relate to having stress, that feels like you're on a tipping point of just being overwhelmed, you're not overwhelmed. And if you are feeling anxious and sitting here, hoping to barely go to that anxiety, to stop it down, I wanted to say this morning, that is the last thing that Jesus wants you to do.
He wants to invite you to bring it right now to the forefront because it's not the one that he can handle. And he wants to encounter you in your anxiety, in your places of worry. And he wants to bring a supernatural peace. You guys ready for that? Who could you use a little peace in your life right now? If you can think of one area in your life, in the last month, where you have felt anxiety, stress, raising hands.
Just put your hands up real quick, please. Put your hands up. Okay? Put your hands up. How about the last week? Raise your hands up. The last week you can remember. Think for a moment. What was that area? What was that area that brought stress? That brought worry? That brought anxiety? Was it getting to school on time? Was it making the sports team? Was it getting a promotion?
Was it making a team? Was it what someone thought of you on Instagram and some public being made about you on social media or Snapchat? What is that for you? How about the last day that you felt anxiety? How about the last day that you felt anxiety? How about the last day that you felt anxiety? I want to keep you in touch with that. Now I want you to look around and to be aware you're not alone.
Here we go. For many of us, anxiety hands on us are heavy chains. You know, there's a lot of times. But, you know, we just feel that anxiety kind of bind and hold as that metal chain. We don't have any of the free front. But this morning, Jesus has given us voice. In the fourth chapter of his letter to the Christians in Philippi, Paul, approximately 2,000 years ago, was writing for prison, in prison, incarcerated, bound in chains.
He writes what we're going to look at this morning. And he writes this letter and makes these comments about peace and worry in the context of being arrested and in prison. And it's profound when we think about it as a backdrop of our culture of anxiety. Paul, writing for prison, writes this. In the fourth chapter, verse 12, I learned the secret.
Everyone say secret. Let's talk about that secret. The secret of being content in any and every situation, who are well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. And that's why it's supernatural. Because for a lot of us, the peace of the world gives us is when I have the income that I need, when people that I want like me like me, when things are going my way, I have peace.
When I have plenty, I'm at peace. But when I'm in want, I have anxiety. That kind of life is a rollercoaster. But Jesus has a peace that transcends that. That goes deeper than that. That anchors our money. So that no matter what I'm just throwing your way, I'm not bad for air days. There's a peace that you have anger to remind you of your soul. That's why it's supernatural peace.
How did Paul have this? I remember Paul this morning. What is the secret of living in a greater fullness of God's supernatural peace? Right? To unlock the secret to supernatural peace in our life, Paul has three keys he wants to give us. From Philippians chapter 4, three words from the point. We're all out from this text. The first word is pray. The second one is think.
And the third one is practice. If you're thinking, you have to be right, those three words. You know, pray, think, practice. We're going to be drawn right out of the text. We're saying, look at this letter we wrote. And see what we're doing this morning. About God's peace in our life. You ready? For the first key? Here we go. First one. Comes in verse 6.
Chapter 4, verse 6. Listen to the Lord. All right. Remember, again. He's writing it to this. And he has it to say. Don't worry about anything. Right there, Rory. I'm done. Defeated. I am. All right. Let's go to the religion. Because I'm right there with this one. Defeated is, don't think it went like, this is a qualification to be a good Christian. Think it as an invitation to a life.
Like, Paul is not saying, don't worry. Oh, if you have worry, you're a failure. He's saying this. There is another option in life. One that is free of worry, no matter what is going on. Right here. He says again. Don't worry about anything. Which means there's nothing in the life of a follower of Jesus that has the right to take away our peace. That should encourage you that if you are experiencing a loss of peace, Jesus can restore it.
Tell God what you need. I'll talk about it first. Think that up. Instead, number one, pray about everything. Number two, tell God what you need. And thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace. Which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. We can clearly see here that Paul is taking a direct correlation between the prayer in our life and the measure of God's peace in our actual experience.
There's a direct relationship between these two. Now I'm going to talk about that real quick. A one-in-law's room will turn to your neighbor, find someone next to you, and go, how would you describe your prayer right now? Be honest and be real. If you're like, I haven't prayed in the last month, let it be grace at a meal. That's fine. If even that hits, you know, forsaken your life and show you, I can't even remember the last time I prayed.
Or if you're like, I have never prayed in my life. Whatever. If you're on fire having a new renewal in your prayer life, please share that too. When I was going on, turn to my neighbor and share how to describe the current affairs here in the prayer life. Go and share. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Thank you. Go on. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. вely con. Now. good. Now. You're on. out. 1. Okay. Come on. Now, if you're not a Christian, and you hear you're going to have this whole Christian theme and you can all handle a secret, there are few things that have provoked more guilt and shame than a Christian's life than happened in the past month of her life.
If you want to just see a Christian swarm, if you ever have a moment where a Christian is on a high and mighty horse, well, that's interesting to share your life. Hey, go. It wasn't very long these days. You will instantly see them. I mean, myself and colleagues, one of those areas that continually Christian would say, I need more money. Is this an area of your life that can never be better, just like me, and don't need your fitness these days?
Though it's worked out longer and longer. That was a prayer life. Now, Paul's thinking a direct relationship between our prayer life and our experience of God's peace in our life. He says this, Pray about everything. I was reading the likes of a guy, and you don't think you're going to remember, his name is George Mueller, mid to late, 19th century, was running tons of orphanages in England.
Thousands of orphans under his care, and every dollar that he needed, today in front of his millions, was raised without ever asking one person for a dollar. Now, I'm in a non-popper organization, they're watching that funders all the time, and this is a really challenging, inspiring story. He never asked for one dollar, 100% of his funds was acquired and received through prayer.
And someone asked him, How did you get to such an amazing prayer life, where you see such amazing things happen to me? And he said, I pray about the smallest things in my life. And it's praying for the small things. You know what he said? Listen to this. I love it. This towering man of faith, sustaining thousands of orphans every day, through the power and perseverance of his prayer life.
He said, I pray when I use my peace, which happens all. I pray when I lose my wallet. And he shared a story about locking himself out of his own hole. You know, how can we pray, how can we get you with gold, on a really cold night? Just the dumbest things, if you're with me, I shared about my son, losing a book, and praying for it, and our sisters, and I prayed about it, and, you know, I need to help you irritated by it.
There's nothing too small in your life to pray about. And for some of us who feel intimidated by praying, I want to challenge you this week. Again, I did it last week, I'll do it again. I'll wait to write down in your notes, what is one small thing this week you want to be praying for? Something small, something that if it was answered, you would know it's measurable.
Right now, what is that thing? It can be the stupidest thing in the world. It can be praying, it can make you laugh. It can be praying. I remember one time, when I was personally in the R.C. staff, you know, I was making about $600 a month, you know, and it was more than I had in college, all the stuff. And, uh, I remember just seeing this person with this sweater.
I had no sweaters at the time. And I'm like, now I wish I had a cool sweater. I took a cool sweater, and they had a pillow sweat, this friend of mine had. Now, I didn't go over and buy it, and I was like, I'm an emotional, stupid to me, how absolutely trivial you can be, because God is a father who loves the way you can do it. And so, I just started to just ask, I thought, I would love a sweater on like that.
How stupid, how vain, how material, with a fit can I get? I put a little sweater on a sweater like that. And I wrote a sweater, I kicked you off that week, I'm walking home from campus, and I found you on the sidewalk, a dark, navy blue, a namorant public sweater. Right there. Like, what the? You got to be kidding me! Now, you've got to have the humility to pick up a sweater on the ground, so I can wear it.
It doesn't matter how trivial. You, start with some trivial things. And they've got it consistently. Every week, the prayer room is small. I lost my keys, I lost my wallet, little things. I want to see my other spin, put the publicity down on it. That's a big one. That's a big one. Maybe you wait until you get to your hands to pray, but that one. Don't have what you need.
Notice that, Paul follows his first key of telling God, of praying about everything with two phrases. Tell God what you need, and thank you for all he has done. To tell God what you need means to be specific, and not, God, I'm stressed, I have anxiety, help me, give me peace. It means, be specific. What do you think it is that you're lacking that if you have, would free you up and worry and anxiety.
And think, you need to sort of talk about that more at the next point. The second one is to thank him. Let's talk about gratitude and thanksgiving. It's hard to thank God when you're stressed, isn't it? When you're stressed, it's actually like, it's offensive to try and go to the thanksgiving. It's like, just right against every fighter in your being and start thanking God when you're stressed.
To thank him for what he has done. But that's what Paul says, thank him for all he has done. And in that, it's a secret because it's counterintuitive. Are you with me? These are not secrets because they're kidnapped from some kind of gnostic information, some kind of secret thing like the avenging code that knows your profile is spiritually and you can never unlock the most particular bunch of rituals you'll never get to.
It's just secret because it's counterintuitive. It's counterintuitive because when you're in anxiety and you're stressed, you're focused on what you don't have to go away and it's hard to thank God because you want to instead curse God, blame God, or blame yourself. And in times of the inside, you're attempting to blame God, blame others, or blame yourself.
And all that is, and I can refer to the devil, it's a satanic distraction from the only solution that you can get to, which is to be in thinking God. Blaming God, blaming others, blaming yourself is always a distraction to get you to the downward spiral of discouragement and defeat. Are you right now in a cycle of blaming somebody for anxiety in your life?
Blaming God for anxiety or blaming yourself? Unless you don't have any responsibility or nobody else does to contribute to a stressful environment, but when you get stuck blaming people, you get that place of accusation and judgment, it distracts us from this posture of gratitude and excuse me that God wants to get us into. How do you thank God when you're stressed?
Listen, let's go back to the beginning. Anxiety is a future-oriented disorder. You don't know what I mean. You don't know. It's about the future. So how can you thank God for something you don't know how it's going to turn out? It's your laundry. How can you thank God for something you're stressed about when you don't know how it's going to turn out? Thank you, God, and I don't know how it's going to turn out, but it feels going awful right now.
I guess it's going to feel easy. So, how do you go about this? Listen to this. We can meet the enemy on this territory. See, anxiety has power about the future because we don't know how those things are going to happen. And because we don't have that control, you're worried. As if your control on the answer stands really, you should trust me in the midst. Nonetheless, it's about the future, but we can get on the enemy territory that go into the scripture.
We have Jeremiah 21, 11. For I know the plan that I have for you is to pray as a Lord and to pass for you and not to harm you. Plan to give you hope and in the future. How does this scripture help us to be a banking document about something we're stressed about that's in the future? That's not it. How? Can you speak for a minute? Turn to your neighbor a chair.
Turn to the scripture all for you. Right here. Come and turn to God. I'm not asking for any profound comments area on the scriptures. What does this mean to you? Turn to your neighbor and just share one thing with the prayer. Come on. I just said scripture help us. go on. What? What? What? What? Okay. I know that no matter what's wrong right now. In the end. What?
What? What? Okay. I know that no matter what's wrong right now. In the end. In the end. That's what I'm looking at. It's not what we're going. My son of a word only place is. His brother strives to get to know what we're going. He's 13 years old. Here's a guy who doesn't have a driver's license. Just starting puberty. Has no 401k. No savings. Doesn't really own anything more expensive than his new year comes.
And he's worrying. When we're going somewhere. Because he doesn't know. How we're going to get there. And I look at him like. What difference does it make? You don't trust us? I mean do you really not trust that we know how to get the word going? I mean what difference would make it human? And you're 13. What did you do about it? You know what I'm talking about?
What is this description that you've lost on Friday? What difference is in it? For you. Can you look at this? God has a back. He's got a back. Yeah. What does that mean? He's got a back. Yeah. What does that mean? He's got a close to saying. There's not a lot of people coming up. Because God doesn't want to. So are you going to be a pastor? He's got a back.
He's got a back. He's got a back. He's got a back. It's hard to get the Bible. I don't understand what he's doing right now. This is so painful. But I know you're going to be used to somehow. I'm going to be in my life. I first started to know to take that prayer. I remember four years of the question. Four years. Four years every night. Certainly with sleep.
Certainly at bed. I've got a reaction nightmares. Exhaustion. Teeth. I just felt like a layer just sucked out of my life. I'm like, how am I going to get through this? I don't know why you're going to be able to get through this. But you are going to be something good for this. I trust you. I trust you. I start to pray that. I don't worship God. I'm anxious.
I don't see you. I don't. I don't see you. I don't want to worship you. Because I know that you are going to be able to get through this. I trust you. It's known that God has a future in his name. And it doesn't matter to you when you're staying here. You're a 13 year old in the back of the mini man. It has to be how much longer the saint can trust you.
But it is a thing that sometimes. Because if you pray, pray, pray. Sometimes we're not praying about what we can pray about. It's not like that. The second key is in verse 8. The final one is just to whatever is true, whatever is noble. Well, somebody says here, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, what?
Think about such things. The second key that Paul gives us to unlock our supernatural peace is to take authority over our thinking. The scripture never encourages blind faith. Is that good news for you? I think for some of you the best news you're going to hear this morning is that the Bible never encourages blind, irrational faith. It may encourage transrational faith.
A belief that goes deeper than we can reason out. But it's never irrational. Here's some good news. The scriptures, God cares profoundly about how we think. He doesn't trust God. God elevates our capacity to think on a new level. God doesn't want to denigrate your way of thinking. He doesn't want to hijack it. He doesn't want to put it on the shelf.
He can pick your brain and put it on the shelf. You can never be too smart with God. Instead, He wants to elevate your thinking to a higher place. Faith with reason is the highest level of cognitive working. Your cognitive faculty operates at the highest level when your thinking ability and your trusting ability and your faith are working together.
A lot of people are going to say that some of you are pretty proud of you are living by faith at all. But you live by the power of your reason. It's not that you shouldn't use your reason. It's that you are a bird trying to fight with one wing. And for us, we are all about faith, but we don't take into consideration how you think. The scriptures are not a lot of say about that.
What we set our mind on has a powerful effect on our spirit and our actions and in our whole life. Listen to this. 2 Corinthians 10. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up within the knowledge of God.
And we keep captive every thought to make a reading in Christ. We have Paul introduced the society in Christian to Christian and do spiritual warfare. A spiritual warfare that reminds us of spiritual warfare is that the battleground, the key battleground is the arena of our mind. Spiritual warfare is never a battle with people. It is sometimes a battle with demonic spirits.
But it is always a battle with an idea, a rogue thought that seeks to take our thinking captive about God. That seeks to take our thinking captive about ourselves and about our circumstances. Anxiety will always work to belittle God and to somehow maybe exalt yourself in that situation. Sometimes anxiety will work to exaggerate your differences, your faults, or the negative dimensions of your circumstance.
Anxiety will work to focus on how bad your situation is and therefore diminish your awareness of God in your circumstance. These are thoughts that constantly influence character, his cause, his power, and our identity in Christ. I have a great battle, great value, or I remember one time I was struggling with anxiety and I shared a spot with people.
Let me share a hand for those who are going to explain to the people here. I used to struggle with anxiety and Christian, and I don't anymore, but I had a friend on an administrator meeting. He said, I want you to write what you think about when you're getting a current message. And whenever I start writing a message, I don't get stuck. I would just get to stop the problems in my mind.
I don't want you to write out all the thoughts you get when we get stuck to the right of a sermon. And I would just, I started writing a secret. Nothing is wrong. I just write it out. I just write it out. I just get it out of the paper. And the first thing out of my head on the paper was, you're an idiot. You're an idiot! That's why you're stuck. You're stuck because you're stupid.
And you don't have the ability to get this message organized. But you know, we all have these thoughts about our income, about our marriage. Sometimes those thoughts are focused on the other person. And all that they are doing wrong, I counsel people in marriage circles, and you can tell whether they're now inspired with me, they cannot see their own contribution to the problems in the marriage.
Your thoughts are fixated on tearing down what we see in the negative and the other person. We have to learn that I take these thoughts captive and they believe in Christ. So how do we do that? How do we keep us captive? How do we keep anxious thoughts and make them captive and fix our thoughts on the God's promises? I want to talk to you to a quick example.
I want you to know if you're speaking notes, write maybe an area in your life where you're feeling anxiety. This isn't how you write it. Think of this area. It's an area where you feel stressed. It might be an illness like that. You have not known. I don't know. It could be small. It could be big. It could be far. It could be your work. It could be unfair.
It could not produce things profound. There's no. Just write it down. And I want you underneath. You're writing out what are some of the anxious thoughts you have about that situation. Think right now. What are those anxious thoughts? Some of us who fight ourselves on being men under profound reasoning capacity never stop to think about what's behind the emotions that are driving in your life.
We don't acknowledge the emotions that operate secretly over our life. But behind these emotions are these powerful thoughts that are driving the emotion. What are those thoughts? What anxious thoughts do you have about that area in your life? Why? And then I want you to draw a line in the middle. And on the right side, I want you to write a thought.
What does God want to say to me about this situation? This is when I start to do with my sermon talk. I would write down on the left side, I pick a piece of paper, I put them in the middle. And I write, anxious thoughts. And I write anxious thoughts. And for a while I was doing this whole department. I had a lot of anxiety and anxiety disorder. In fact, one of the only tests I ever could call it where I swore it on her, I thought 100% was all my anxiety disorder does.
And I had a few, and apparently I had those three points off the scale. I was going to try to know a little bit. It's called Hieronym Pride. On the left side, anxious thoughts. And on the right side of this aspect, I'm going to look at what you think about this. In some cases, I will find a scripture that spoke to it, and I don't know what I'm going to add.
I'm going to learn who the next one. In other cases, I will just do this and call listening prayer. How many people are familiar with listening prayer? Raise your hands. Put your hand in the middle of it. I'm going to see your hands. I'm like, okay, you don't know what you're talking about. All right. You. Listening prayer. All right. I really want you to explain to me.
Yeah. All right. Well, I'll have this. You're praying. You've been worshiping out for people. I believe you've probably come as long as the rest of the scripture. If you can't read God, and then you just say, God, what do you want to say to you about this spirit? One word. Just be in this list. And just write. Ask God. What do you want to say to you? Just write.
What's your mind? There's one. There's one. There's one. There's one. There's one. There's one. And I know it all. Oh, my God. You know, I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. You're right. Yeah. And I know. I think that I was a patriot.
I think that I was a patriot. And he said, I think that was a nice thing. Probably scary. Yeah, I think it was stressful and anxiety all. I cannot think of being one thing more powerful than life in the times I've sat down. We're not going to be just in the time we're in the state of God's area. That's the key to the I'm trying to do it. I'm trying to do it.
And then go to the perfect trust who wants to go and say, hey, is this how I got to do it? And check it if it is, and ensure it has to go off the task all the way to go along. I honestly don't know. The last one is this. 38 chapters, first and I wherever you have learned to receive or heard from me, or seen in you. Right? Put it into... Did I ever even learn or see or heard from me or seen in you?
Put it into... That's how you guys just think. I'm just trying to break the mold here in today about the day. I've done nothing. and I've listened and I've listened and I've done something. You've done nothing. You've done nothing. and acting on it. And that's what Paul's talking about. You've got to put it into practice. I think you're saying, It's like asking somebody else...
Oh, this is like, no. It's like, I don't know. It's like you're trying to somebody, maybe you know them by the Facebook page, but never asking them out. It's like Facebook stalking somebody, Instagram stalking, but never having the courage to put that knowledge into practice and say, hey, was my God to have a coffee? You take it, you listen, you breathe, but you don't do it completely, it goes nowhere.
And it's evidently true in the Christian life. But Paul's saying, if you experience God's peace, you need to put it into practice so we're hearing from God. And if you're not experiencing peace, not always, but sometimes because there's something He's asking you to do that you're not saying in the practice. Is there some area in your life where God has spoken to you where you have not reached these things in the practice?
I'm going to give you a couple of areas where I'll clap on. Maybe God has asked you to obey Him in some area already and you're not, and you have anxiety and you don't know why. I can give you so many analogies of raising children. But I won't. You can all know. Maybe God has asked you to obey Him in some way. You can have a relationship to see a therapist, to take a Sabbath rest, to forgive someone.
Make peace with someone. Tell me about it. Here's a book you've got to read for somebody you haven't gotten to. Or maybe, I don't know, maybe it's just you're leaving a relationship with God. Sometimes you lack peace in there for a life if we're not following the rules of what kind of only faults you are. Sometimes you've got to do something in your life.
You've got to only fault you what to do. Put it into practice. Put it into practice. And I want to just give you that invitation. This is some area of your life. But God has asked you to obey Him. So that you can go to the one of your peace in your life. Think right now. This is something that Paul finishes in verse 7, I'm saying this. God is about peace with you.
God is about peace. For some of us, maybe we just need to be restored for a rich without one of his angels. Paul writes in the closet on that. For God is a plea to have all his fullness in love and Jesus Christ. And through Jesus, will reconcile His spouse and solve all things. Whether it depends on earth or the things in heaven, make you peace through Jesus and the love of God and the love of God.
When you put your faith in Jesus, that you've got on the cross through the soul and in his body, through his spirit, everything in your life that has a power to cause anxiety to heal. Exorb from yourself the full weight of God and your sin and my sin. What a sin. The choice of way that you've got to put heart of itself and center by one of the people when I'm going to say God.
His way is inclusive. I'm saying. Even when you are healed, you are not allowed to be in control of the sin. And he uses the word to simply the concept of sin and love of self. And when you put it in Jesus, Jesus, you put all my sin up. You are separated from sin. And I believe in you, you grow your head. You open your soul to peace, supernatural, into God, blood and life.
You are not allowed to be in your life. You are not allowed to be in your life. You are not allowed to be in your life. You do not yield it to God. But some of you have never done anything. You never put in your heart with you. You are not allowed to be in your life. in your life. I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be I'm not allowed to be in your life.
I'm not allowed to be in your life. I'm not allowed to be in your life. I'm not allowed to be in your life. I'm not allowed to be in your life. I've never seen him. I've seen him. Have you never invited Jesus to be a leader and not to invite Jesus to be a sinner? I've seen him. I've seen him. I've seen him. I've seen him. Why am I having you do this? Because by responding to what you feel, you activate it in your life.
By simply responding, you're activating something. A spiritual change after you're not. You know what I'm doing? You want to see Jesus as the leader of your life, and allow him to be the ruler of your life, and listen to this. This is the man. Who do you think? I see. Is there anything I've ever had to want to do that? I see. There's some area of your life.
People like Jesus in your life. There's a barrier of words. I don't even worry. You're right in your life. And you need to ask people to understand. I'm going to understand. I'm going to understand. I need to be a sinner. There's a narrative. If you stand and encourage other people, what word? I'm going to say, I'm going to look at the church and come up.
I'm asking you to church. As people who trust that God has seen for every area of your life. They come with humility. And God says, He blows the crowd. He gives grace to the home. You need to say, I want to say, I want to say, I need to be peace. I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, Lord, I want to thank you those who are standing.
I bless those who are sitting right now. In Jesus' name, receive the price of the family of your peace, Father. Repeat before death of me. Lord Jesus, I will invite you every area of my heart to your presence and to your peace. Come and rule and reign. In every area of my heart with your wisdom, with your power, and your peace. In Jesus' name.
