My message this morning, doubt the sin God
hates most.
Doubt the sin God hates most.
Go to Psalm 106 if you will please.
Psalm 106.
Hello to all of our friends in the
annex.
Sorry you couldn't be in this place but
you get a bigger image than they do
here.
You can see us three times bigger than
they can on those screens.
So God bless you.
Delighted to have you.
We're visiting from all over the world.
Psalm 106 verses 6 and 7 if you
will please.
We have sinned with our fathers.
We have committed iniquity.
We've done wickedly.
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt.
They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies
but provoked him at the sea, even at
the Red Sea.
Our fathers understood not, verse 7, our fathers
understood not thy wonders in Egypt.
They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies
but provoked him at the sea.
And these words are powerful, even at the
Red Sea.
Lord I thank you for the word.
I thank you Lord for your power.
And now Lord I need a special touch
from you.
Lord there are people here that are visiting
and there are people that have been coming
to this church for quite a while and
a part of the body here.
But Lord Jesus we don't take your word
for granted.
We honor your word.
We thank you for the word.
It is life.
It is our strength.
It is our hope.
Now Lord minister to me as I preach
this.
I need to hear this.
Lord don't let it just go through my
mouth and through my heart without having a
place and without affecting me eternally I pray.
Lord help me to practice what I'm preaching
this morning.
Help me to live what I'm hearing from
you in the Holy Ghost.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
Doubt, the sin God hates the most.
Of all sins God makes it clear in
the word doubt is the most hated by
the Lord.
In fact he said it grieves him.
The Bible says that it gives him pain.
And the Lord himself said it provokes him.
If you want to provoke God clearly this
is the sin that provokes him the most.
Now here in Psalm 106 and verse 5
we read we have sinned.
We've committed iniquity.
We've done wickedly.
Now what is this iniquity?
What is this sin?
What is this grieving of God?
How did these people provoke him?
Doubting God at the sea even at the
Red Sea.
And what the writer is saying can you
believe what happened here?
Can you believe that in the face of
one of the greatest miracles man has ever
seen, the opening of the Red Sea, that
God's people doubted him even in the face
of that miracle?
Can you believe the wickedness in us?
Can you believe the how we provoked Almighty
God?
He has just performed for us the greatest
miracle we have ever seen or the world
could have ever seen.
It is one of the greatest miracles in
the history of mankind.
And even in the face of that witnessing
it we doubted him.
We mistrusted him.
We provoked him.
Now he's talking about the miracle that happened
on the deliverance side.
We provoke the Lord after witnessing the greatest
miracle.
Now we know what happened on the other
side.
Now I preached a message here a number
of years ago called write song wrong side.
They began to sing and dance on the
victory side when all their enemies were drowned
in the sea.
When Pharaoh's army was gone they yes they
could shout because they already had a good
report.
But they didn't shout.
They didn't bless God and trust him on
the other side on the testing side of
the Red Sea.
We know the terrible doubt that came.
The Bible says they understood not the wonders
in Egypt.
They remembered not the multitude of his mercies.
Now it seems to me that when they
witnessed these 10 signs and wonders that God
performed bringing judgment on Egypt it's very clear
that they thought that these were just natural
happenstances.
That this was just nature out of control.
They didn't understand it at all.
Even though Moses was trying to tell them
this is the hand of God.
He's going to deliver you through these miracles.
They were called wonders by the prophets by
the prophet Moses.
But you know these people didn't understand it.
They took it for granted.
This was just something of nature.
Look at this people camped at the sea.
The Lord led them into a situation and
the place that he led them here to
means the entrance to a precipitous cliff.
It also means on the edge of a
crisis.
The edge of a crisis.
That's the name of the place God led
them to in Hebrew.
He delivers them mightily.
He delivers them with silver and with gold.
They went out with silver and gold the
Bible said.
They went out without a feeble person among
them.
There was supernatural power given to them.
God had made all provisions for what was
to take place.
No there were no grocery stores.
There were no malls.
There were no shopping centers.
There were no guards.
There were no wells.
But God had a plan.
Every contingency was planned for.
God made provision.
There was even a cloud to cover them
in that hot sun in the wilderness beating
down in the hot sun.
A cloud covering the whole camp.
The cloud didn't cover just the tabernacle.
It covered the whole camp.
You could look out in the distance and
you could see the sun blaring down but
here they were under the shadow of that
cloud the whole time.
There was a fire at night.
A fiery pillar and that was to heat
them because in the desert it got very
cold at night and it was also that
comforting glow.
The darkness of that wilderness being lit.
God made provision.
He knew where the water was.
He knew how he was going to feed
them.
Angels food falling from heaven.
Every provision was made.
There were no danger.
There was no danger whatsoever.
God had planned this but he was going
to test them.
Folks, faith is not built on miracles.
Faith is not founded on miracles.
They saw 10 great miracles, 10 great signs
and wonders and wound up without an ounce
of faith.
Full of doubt and unbelief.
Why is God taking this people out of
Israel and putting them into a promised land?
Now the Bible says very clearly and you
remember the history of it.
He said this is the smallest nation, most
insignificant of all nations and people.
They're just a small handful and God chooses
them.
Now why is he bringing them here to
a testing place and why is he going
to take them into the land of Canaan?
Is it because he just wants to give
them new houses and he's got a special
people he wants to just bless and they're
going to inherit vineyards and milk and honey
and they're going to be able to sit
idle in pleasure and they're going to just
be able to sit there and praise and
worship God and offer sacrifices from generation to
generation.
No, no, no, no, no.
You see God loves the world, the Bible
says, and God loved the world just as
much then as he loves him now, as
much as the world now.
Those heathen nations, God was yearning after them.
He yearned after them just as much.
We think that only in the day of
grace did God have love.
No, God was love from the beginning.
He loved the Canaanites.
He loved all of those nations even though
they sinned.
There was a heart of love for them.
The Bible says that prophetically all the prophets
knew that the law would go out from
Jerusalem, that God was trying to raise up
missionaries with a testimony.
He was trying to build an army that
he could use, that his truth could go
out through the whole then known world.
They were not going into Canaan land just
for their own comfort.
They weren't going there so that all of
the goodness and grace of God could be
absorbed in themselves.
Not at all.
That's not why God saved you and that's
not why he saved me.
He didn't save us just to sit in
this church and absorb all his glory and
his grace and his goodness and his mercy.
God is out always searching and looking for
an army, looking for a people that are
tested and tried and have proven him faithful,
because it's not just going out and preaching
an unproven gospel.
If you don't, if you haven't proved the
gospel, you can't believe the gospel you preach.
I hear people talk about belonging to faith
movements, but how can you be a faith
preacher?
How can you go to a faith church
and not allow the testing to produce faith?
God is trying to produce something in these
people.
God wanted them, they're standing on the brink
of a catastrophe.
They're standing on the brink of a disaster,
a crisis like they'd ever known.
You say, well, does God expect these people
to trust him when the army is coming
down and everything looks impossible?
God expects them to trust and believe him
and not doubt their situation?
Yes, absolutely.
For without faith it's impossible to please him.
And they believe, that come to believe, must
believe that he is, that he's a reward
of those who diligently seek him.
God is trying to produce a people with
faith and confidence in him to become messengers,
tested and tried.
But you see, God can't do anything where
there is no faith, where there is all
doubt.
God in flesh couldn't do it and wouldn't
do it.
Jesus couldn't do mighty miracles there because of
their doubt and their unbelief.
He rebuked the Red Sea, the scripture says
in verses 9 and 12, 9 to 12,
and it was dried up and he saved
them.
He redeemed them from the hand of the
enemy.
Then believed they his words.
Then sang they his praises.
You see, after you get a good report
and after you've got victory and after you've
seen deliverance, anybody can sing.
Be a fool if you didn't.
I mean, I can't understand how anybody wouldn't
say wonderful.
I remember Debbie telling me when Roger, doctor
called Roger, got the good word that the
cancer had spread to the spine in Tiffany.
I heard he yelled, yes, yes, yes.
Debbie said, what's going on?
Had a good report.
And we all do that.
I'm going to tell you what I did
when I heard it.
There was a rejoicing in my heart.
As you see, we're on the victory side.
Bible said, then they believed his words.
The folks, these folks miserably failed because the
very next verse reads, they soon forgot his
works and waited not for his counsel.
They despised the pleasant land.
They believed not his word.
Oh, folks, I believe God is still searching
for that people, that people who will be
his greatest evangelistic tool.
You see, God's not looking for some highly
educated seminarian to take the gospel to the
world.
He's not looking for mega churches with multiplied
thousands of people who've never been tested and
tried.
Because those same people, I don't care if
you have 50,000 in your church, those
people, if they've not been tested, if all
they see is that everything is rosy and
they can't see anything coming.
Folks, when people ignore that and they don't
look at reality, and then when the hard
times come, when the testing times come, there
are no resources.
They have nothing to draw on.
And God can't use that kind of a
people to be a testimony to a lost
world.
Not at all.
He's not looking for that.
Gideon had called for the nation to come
and fight the Midianites, and many thousands responded
to his call.
God said to Gideon, he said, the people
that are with you are too many for
me to give the Midianites into their hands.
Now proclaim in their ears, whosoever is fearful,
afraid, let him go home.
Let him go home.
We don't want to infect the whole crowd
here.
We don't want to infect this army.
And got it down to 10,000.
Lord said, still too many.
Got it down finally to 300 tested men.
God is not looking for some great powerful
religious organization.
He's looking for individuals.
He's looking for men and women of God
who have been through the flood, who've been
through the fire, have been tested and have
come through with faith, tested as gold, tried
in a fire.
I would tell you the world is looking.
The world is watching for people like that.
Not to just throw scriptures around.
Not just trying to get everybody to come
to their church.
But coming on the job when everybody on
that job knows that you're going through the
trial of your life.
You're facing calamity.
You're going to work even though you are
broken and you have a heart that you
can hardly stand the day.
You've been rocked by hard times.
And the world is watching you.
Just as King Darius was watching Daniel.
You remember this story.
Daniel's a man of prayer and he's one
of three presidents and the other two got
jealous of him because of God's favor on
his life.
And they figured out where the favor came
from because he prayed so much.
So they went to Darius and they flattered
him and and deluded him into signing a
30-day ban on prayer.
Anyone who prays for the next 30 days
to anybody but the king goes to the
lion's den.
And you can be sure that those men
in those 30 days didn't feed those lions.
They're going to feed Daniel to those lions
and they will make sure they were deathly
hungry.
The king signs it not knowing about his
giving a death sentence to Daniel.
He tried desperately to save him.
But the kings and the presidents and the
whole government staff at that time came to
him said it's the law of the weeds
and persons you can't change it.
He did everything with his power to try
to change it.
They found Daniel praying.
They brought him to the king.
And just before he was cast in the
lion's den here is what King Darius said.
Daniel thy God whom thou service continually he
will deliver you.
He's going to deliver you because you've served
him faithfully he's going to deliver you.
Folks, the bible said the king went to
his palace and fasted all night.
He didn't sleep that night.
Don't tell me the world isn't watching.
Don't tell me they don't have their eyes
on God's people who have boasted of the
glory and power of God.
You tell the world who Jesus is you
tell him that he's your savior and your
healer.
You tell him your God can do the
impossible and now you're in an impossible situation
and Darius has believed him.
He said I believe your God's going to
deliver you.
God's going to deliver you.
Now folks he didn't deliver him out of
the lion's den he delivered him in the
lion's den.
The king went to his palace and passed
the night fasting the scripture says.
I read in psalms 31 19.
Oh how great is thy goodness which thou
has laid up for them that fear thee
which thou hast wrought for them that trust
in thee before the sons of man.
He said you trust in me before the
sons of men I've laid up something good
for you and what is that good thing
that he's laid up.
I believe it's an impeachable glorious testimony to
the world how through the power of the
Holy Spirit and through coming into the rest
of the Lord Jesus Christ that you can
survive any situation and you can come through
it as a testimony having a testimony of
the whole world not just preaching but having
lived it.
So Daniel goes into the lion's den.
Don't tell me don't try to tell me
he slept all night.
He watched and prayed all night is what
he did.
These lions were hungry I'm sure they roared
I'm sure they yawned and opened their mouth
and he saw the teeth and I bet
he quoted scripture all night.
I couldn't relate to a man could go
into that and sleep all night.
That's not that's not human nature when you're
face to face with crisis.
That's not that that's not the nature man
and God doesn't expect you to be unnatural
and be some kind of a superman or
superwoman trying to brace yourself so you don't
have to cry when a crisis comes in.
You don't have to give vent to the
human nature and the feelings those things are
natural they come out.
Early in the morning Darius gets up and
runs to the lion's den and the bible
said he cried with a lament lamentable that's
mean a sorrowful grieving voice.
Daniel servant of the living God is thy
God whom you serve continually able to deliver
you from the lion's den.
You're still alive Daniel and out comes a
voice from the lion's den.
King Darius live forever.
My God has sent his angel he shut
the lion's mouth they have not hurt me.
They have not hurt me.
Folks this is still the question of the
day.
Is your God able?
Is your God able to sustain you in
hard times?
That's this cry of human nature and folks
if you want to know what the world
is looking at Darius is the example.
He's looking for in fact he says because
one man was faithful.
One man believed God through his trial.
One man held fast to his faith.
The scripture said no matter of hurt was
found upon him because he believed in his
God and because of that the whole world
was impacted.
The world was impacted.
Darius extolled the God.
Daniel 6 you got to see it.
Daniel 6.
Let me show you what happens when when
you hold your faith.
Don't doubt God in your difficult times.
You don't know it but I'm preaching to
myself and maybe you figured it out.
Chapter 6 verse 25
beginning to read.
Then King Darius wrote unto all people nations
and languages that dwell in all the earth.
Peace be multiplied unto you.
I make a decree that in every dominion
of my kingdom men tremble in fear before
the God of Daniel for he's the living
God and steadfast forever and his kingdom that
which and his kingdom that which shall not
be destroyed and his dominion shall be even
unto the end.
He delivers and rescues.
He works signs and wonders in heaven and
earth.
Now folks look at me.
Yes he sees God as a God of
heaven and earth doing signs and wonders in
the heaven but that's not really what impacted
him.
The impact was that one man.
In the next word it says who hath
delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
This was the testimony.
He had to see one man.
He had to see one believer who really
believed what he preached.
Could really come to a place in God.
We can face any situation, any trial without
bending, without breaking.
See God's ultimate desire for all of us
as his children is that we come into
a perfect rest in him.
A perfect rest in him.
Now let me tell you something.
There is a place in Christ and I
want you to listen closely now.
There is a place in the Lord where
there's no anxiety about the future.
There's a place of rest where there's no
fear of sudden calamity, no fear of afflictions,
no fear of falling, no fear of man,
no fear of unemployment, no fear of losing
property, no fear of losing health.
A place of total confidence in God's faithfulness.
There is a place.
This place is shown in Hebrews 3 and
4 or 4 and 5 and I'm going
to take you to it in just a
minute.
But folks when the Lord says there was
a rest offered to the children of Israel
and they refused it because of their unbelief
and he said there still remains this place.
If they had entered in he would not
be offering it now.
It would have all been completed.
We would have been able to follow them
in but he said they didn't go in
and I'm still looking I'm still searching for
people come into the rest.
Now this rest is a promise the Bible
says.
It's a promise.
It's something you can't work up.
You have to lay down your own works
and those own works are those works of
trying to steel yourself waiting for the next
shoe to fall so to speak.
The new age people call it Nirvana.
They say the only way that you can
steel yourself and brace yourself for tragedies that
are coming in the future.
The only way you can do it is
to harden your heart.
The only way you can do it is
to kill your love.
In other words if you destroy the love
for your son or daughter you can't be
hurt.
If you learn to hate yourself even it
comes to this where where I don't I
don't care whether I live or die nothing
matters.
Just trying to bring myself into a place
where I am stupefied.
That's not what the Bible is talking about.
The Bible is not talking about that at
all.
It's not talking about bracing yourself.
It's not trying to come into some mindset
that you say this is not going to
bother me and you grit your teeth.
No!
This is a divine rest that comes by
the hand of the Holy Ghost to those
who believe God who see it and say
I'm going after that.
Folks when I read this every time I've
read it ever since I was called to
preach ever since I've been reading this Bible.
Every time I read there remaineth yet a
rest of the children of God.
That rest where we have complete confidence in
the Lord that he does all things well.
He's a loving heavenly father and he would
never hurt one of his children.
I'm a father of four children 11 grandchildren.
I can tell you there's never been one
moment never thought in my mind to do
anything but good for my children.
Never have I conceived that I could stand
by when they hurt without entering into their
suffering and doing everything with my power to
heal and deliver.
And there remains a rest yet for the
children of God.
Hebrews 4 9.
A place in him in which you're prepared
for whatever may come.
If you're in this rest you don't panic
when you're suddenly hit with unexpected crisis.
You won't fall apart.
Yes you'll cry you'll hurt you do all
of that but you'll have inside in your
heart and your soul there will be a
permanent rest.
Folks I know what I'm talking about.
I've been tested and I've been tried.
My family's been tested and tried.
But folks there's never been a time when
was 34 years old when the first cancer
came.
I was just a young man.
Just come to New York working with gangs
on the streets.
But folks God gave me a rest.
I walked these streets preaching through my tears
on the streets to gang members.
But there was something in my heart God
you're faithful.
You wouldn't send me out here and preach
grace to drug addicts and alcoholics and then
abandon me in my house.
And the Lord walked with me and he
he gave me a peace and a rest
that he sustained all through this.
I've had it through this time with Tiffany.
A rest.
I've cried I've screamed at God not not
accusing him but just said oh God give
me peace give me that rest.
And I've entered into it by faith and
I'm going to be testing on it in
the future no question about it.
But you see God's not a liar.
He can't lie.
He said there's a place of rest.
Hard times are coming yes but God wants
you to be at peace.
He wants you to say that you don't
have folks we don't anticipate.
You're not to go around anticipating hard times.
You're not to go around saying well when's
it going to happen to me.
No no no.
But he said there's a rest.
He said let us therefore fear.
Bless a promise being left us of entering
into that rest.
Any of you come short of it.
To come short of it means situational faith
rather than a lifestyle.
God's not interested in giving you faith just
over one experience.
Where you come through one crisis and you
say oh thank God I had faith I
got through it.
Yes you got through the first one.
That was the first one.
That's the Red Sea.
And there are others that come behind it.
It may not be the same kind of
be a different kind of a test.
But he's not looking for situational faith.
He's looking for a lifestyle.
He's looking for hearts that are totally at
rest.
Come what may my God is faithful.
Come what may though he slay me yet
will I trust him.
For we which do believe enter into rest.
You go into rest by simple childlike faith.
When you make a commitment to believe God
and not doubt him in any situation.
There has to come a time when all
the why's why God are gone.
Until all those questions are gone.
You say I have a loving father.
I stand here and rest boasting only in
the word of God and in his Holy
Spirit that he's been faithful to give rest
and peace to my soul.
For he that has entered into his rest
has also ceased from his own works as
God did from his.
In other words you're not trying to be
brave in the face of trouble.
You're not trying to pump up some phony
acceptance of your trial.
No more worry about whether you're going to
have strength to endure.
Oh folks don't worry about whether when hard
times come you're being tested whether you're going
to faint or you're going to stand.
Don't worry about that.
Let me tell you before I close.
Let me tell you why I seek God
every day diligently in prayer.
Let me tell you why I'm into this
book every day devouring it.
Let me tell you why I fast regularly.
Not because I have to preach in this
pulpit.
Not because I'm a minister called to preach.
It's not only for fellowship.
It's not only for getting to know his
ways.
It's beyond that.
The reason I go into this book.
The reason I seek him in spite of
all the victories and deliverance I've seen and
the peace and the rest that he's given
to me.
I know there's a warfare.
I know there's a battle.
I know the devil's not going to let
go.
He's not going to rest as long as
I'm seeking God.
Now if I quit seeking God he'll give
me peace.
Probably let me alone.
But if you're going to seek God you're
going to go all the way with the
Lord.
You're going to be tested.
You're going to be tried.
You're going to be in a warfare till
the day you die.
He's going to test and test until you
when you stand before Jesus.
You're going to shine.
Your faith is going to shine like gold.
More precious than gold.
But the reason I do it because I
want to be a prepared soldier.
I know I know I know that you
don't win the battle on the battlefield.
I know that you don't go in unprepared.
If you're if you're just a soldier and
you haven't been to boot camp and you
haven't been tested and tried.
If you haven't been put through it and
the enemy suddenly pounces on you.
You are not ready.
There's no ammunition backup.
There's no soldiers behind you.
You're all alone there because you are not
prepared.
I go into this book and that's why
it's important after every victory that you see
in your life.
That's the time to press in and get
ready.
Folks very good report I hear.
I go to my face before God.
I say oh God I know that when
I'm praying.
I know that when I'm in your word.
I know that when I'm fasting you're giving
me spiritual authority over the power of the
enemy.
And I know that you're building up a
reservoir in me of confidence in you.
I'm getting to know your ways.
I'm getting to know who you are and
how you act and what you do.
I'm getting to know you.
Now I may not feel that I am
learning anything.
I may not feel that spiritual power.
I may not see that reservoir.
But folks the next time the enemy comes.
The next time I'm in a crisis.
The next time I face a calamity.
I'm going to have reserves.
I'm going to have resources.
I can draw one because I have won
the battle alone with God.
If you don't get anything else out of
this message.
I'm going to close in just a moment.
If you don't get anything else.
I'm telling you.
You may be sitting here now and you
say brother Wilkinson I am so grateful.
I'm so thankful that as I sit here.
My bills are paid.
God's blessed me and I have no tragedy.
I have no sickness.
No illness.
My family everything's fine.
That's the time.
Not that you anticipate anything coming.
Not at all.
God doesn't take everybody the same route.
Not at all.
I've known Christians that have had years and
years and years.
Their trials have been of a different nature.
Trials have been like the dryness we hear.
There are many other ways that God can
test us.
But you never have to fear that God's
going to lay his hand on one of
your kids.
And do anything to that child.
Isn't that according to his mind and his
will.
He's not going to touch your husband or
wife.
He's not going to throw you out of
your job and leave you without resources.
He's not going to abandon you.
And no matter whatever comes.
Please don't tell me that you're making a
commitment to faith.
Unless you're also making three other commitments.
A commitment to this word daily.
A commitment to your knees.
So that you're not in situational faith at
all.
But you're developing a relationship.
It's a relationship faith.
And also you've come to understand how much
God loves you.
The absolute love of God.
Folks, if I didn't know he loved me.
I couldn't handle anything.
I am so convinced of his love.
And you know how I'm convinced of his
love?
On my knees and in this book.
I read of his love.
And then the Holy Spirit reveals it to
me in the secret closet of prayer.
And then when I'm fasting.
Oh the spirit of God comes on me.
The spirit of God comes on the church
when it fasts.
The spirit of God comes on individuals.
And when you fast in January.
And I just have to say this.
When you're fasting in January.
This church is fasting and praying.
God is going to come upon you as
an individual.
Then suddenly corporately upon the whole body.
The fire of the Holy Ghost.
With confidence and with faith.
Hallelujah.
That we have a high priest whose touch
with the feeling is of our infirmities.
Glory be to God.
Don't you know that God through Jesus Christ
our high priest is right now touched with
everything you're going through.
That could stand an amen.
If you really believe.
Will you stand?
Folks listen to me please.
Not everybody in this church today has been
moving in faith.
I'll tell you something I've learned in my
50 years of preaching.
Something I've learned.
That God doesn't waste his word.
He had a reason for bringing this.
And he wants to get at the doubt
in you.
Lovingly and pluck it out.
Because he says I've been trying to do
a work in you and for you.
But I can't do it because of your
unbelief and your doubt.
I'm going to give an altar call now
for everyone.
Balcony and the main floor.
Doubts have crept in.
Some fear has crept in because wherever there's
doubt fear is going to trail right in.
Doubt and fear are twins.
And if you've been doubting God.
Maybe you've been praying for something and you
haven't seen it happen.
But a fear has gotten a hold of
you.
Some of you that had cancer and that
fear are coming back.
I would even pray for Debbie and Roger
that if there was any fear of that
cancer returning.
God remove that fear.
And God remove all fear from our hearts
today.
So that tomorrow Christmas and the rest of
this day you can rejoice in the faithfulness
of the Lord.
And come into that rest by faith.
Step out of your seat and come here.
And we're going to pray and we're going
to take authority over that in Jesus name
and believe the Lord.
Up in the balcony go to the stairs
on either side and come down in the
aisle.
And in the annex I want you to
just go forward and stand between the screens.
Please don't block the screens.
But I'll pray for you.
But I'd like you to step out just
as a testimony.
I want to walk in faith before God.
I want to believe God to allow him
to work.
I don't want to bind the Lord in
my life in my home for my unbelief.
If you have an unsaved husband or wife
or family members and unbelief or fear has
gotten a hold of your heart concerning it.
I want you to move out.
If you're not right with God.
If you're not saved.
If you don't believe the Lord or you're
backslidden.
You've run from God.
Come follow these that are coming right now.
Move in close make room for those that
are coming.
And I'll pray for you.
From the 121st Psalm my help comes from
the Lord which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be
moved.
He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
He will not slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper.
He's your shade upon the right hand.
The sun will not smite thee by day
nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil.
He's preserved thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and
thy coming in from this time forth even
forevermore.
God said I'm your keeper.
I'm your preserver.
I'll keep you.
I'll preserve you.
Trust me.
Yes trust me before the sons of men.
Let me sum up everything I've said.
He's looking for those who would trust him
before the sons of men.
Trusting him on the job.
Trusting him before your family.
Trusting him before all the powers of hell.
Say God I trust you.
And before all the witnesses in glory in
heaven.
Lord help me to trust you.
Help my unbelief.
Pray this prayer with me right now.
Jesus I pray this prayer.
Help my unbelief.
Take away my doubts.
Dissolve my fears.
I want to be a man or woman.
I want to be a person of trust.
I want to trust you in everything that
I face.
Give me grace Lord.
Give me peace.
You didn't give me the spirit of fear
but love and power a sound mind.
Thank you Jesus that you love me.
You care about me.
So help me to cast all my cares
upon you now.
I love you Jesus.
I praise you.
You're faithful.
You're loving Father.
And you love me.
And I receive your love.
I want you to raise your hands now
while I pray for you.
And in the annex raise your hands.
Heavenly Father we come as a body to
you now and I pray for everyone with
raised hands that you would remove from our
hearts all doubt and fear and trembling.
And Lord Jesus let us come into that
rest that you said still is offered to
your people.
And Lord all we can do is come
by simple childlike faith.
Not try to figure you out.
Not try to figure out what's coming.
Not try to figure out what we're in.
And just rest and say God you're going
to see me through.
You'll see my family through.
You're going to be faithful because you are
loving God.
Whenever I need you Lord even though I
have to go into lion's den.
You're going to protect me in that lion's
den.
You're going to sustain me.
And you're going to bring me out of
the trial.
You're going to bring me out with victory.
You're going to bring me out with a
song.
And I'll not.
Lord I don't want to disappoint you.
Let that be the cry.
Lord I don't want to provoke you.
I will come by faith.
Resting in Lord.
I take authority over every doubt.
Over every fear.
And all trembling of our hearts.
Lord we face Christmas now with a song
in our heart.
God is so good.
Say it right now.
Raise your hands and just thank him.
God is so good.
Hallelujah.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
So folks this won't be too much longer.
You'll be saying happy Christmas day to all
your friends and loved ones.
But right now you're surrounded by loved ones.
By this all men know you're my disciples
because what?
You have love one for another.
You don't have to reach out far.
Just look around you.
There's brothers and sisters.
Want you to hug as many.
Now here.
No that's it.
Men with men.
Women with women.
You got it right here.
All right.
In the annex.
Come on hug as many.
Just say God bless you or God is
good.
God is good.
This is the conclusion of the message.
