Morning. I'm excited. Are you? If you will, let's turn to Genesis
27. I think I have something that'll
help you this morning. Genesis 27. Why is there turmoil
and strife and hatred with the people of this world and God's
people, we don't categorize it as that. We say, well, they're good folks. Well, they're not that bad. Who's
lying? You or God? God be true, never made a liar.
Why is there such strife? Why do they want to kill God's
people? And I mean, especially blood
relatives. Mommy and Daddy, your wife, your
husbands, your boys, your girls, your cousins, your friends, and
your neighbors and those you work with, they want to kill
God's people. They want to. Why? Why do those
that do not bow to the Lord Jesus Christ and worship him, why do
they want to kill you? You may say, well, my loved ones
and my brothers and my sisters and my mommies and my daddies
and all those people that I care about, they don't want to kill
me. Yeah, they do. You know why this place ain't
packed to the teeth right now? People hate God. Are there 14
million people in this room trying to get in and cutting holes in
the ceiling to lower their sick ones and hurt ones through the
ceiling? You know why? Because natural man hates God. That's
just a fact. What's the grace in that? What's
the love in that? Some don't. God loves some. There's some Jacobs in this world
that God loved. He chose before time in Christ
to be made like Christ. That's a miracle. That's called
a miracle salvation. If the gospel was the topic,
those that we love, those that we call friends, and those that
we care so much about, if the gospel's the topic, they'll kill
you if they had the chance. Your brothers would kill you
if they had the chance, because they hate God. That's as plain
as I can put it. My brothers and my sister would
cut my head off if I talked about, they don't mind me getting religion.
Are you going to church? Oh, that's good. Oh, did you
quit drinking? Good. Did you quit smoking cigarettes?
Good, good. Quit cussing? That's wonderful. Straighten up and live right.
But if you start talking about a sovereign holy God that sends
everything, good, bad, and ugly, it's all of Him. He rules and
reigns and it's every bit for His glory. You shut up and don't
you tell me about that. You stop talking about that.
Why? Is this new? Is this your new
experience? Is this something that just come
about in six months? No, it's not. Let's read here
in our text, Genesis 27. I want you to see this, there's
just five verses. And we're gonna see some comfort here. For God's
people, there's gonna be some comfort. And there's gonna be
some instruction. We'll give you good input as
to what you ought to do out of a debt of gratitude. We're not
supposed to be wandering around like ping pong balls just bouncing
all over everything. Lord will send some birds to
feed me. No, we gotta have some sense too, don't we? There ought
to be some comfort, some instruction, and the message of salvation.
That's where our comfort and that's where our instruction
comes from. Let's read it together. Here, Genesis 27, we'll begin
in verse 41, just five verses. And Esau hated Jacob because
of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him. And Esau
said in his heart, the days of mourning for my father are at
hand. Then will I slay my brother Jacob. And these words of Esau,
her elder son, were told to Rebekah. And she went and called Jacob,
her younger son, and said unto him, behold, thy brother Esau,
as touching thee, concerning you, doth comfort himself, purposing
to kill thee. Now, therefore, my son, obey
my voice and arise. Flee thou to Laban, my brother
to Haran, and tarry with him a few days until thy brother's
fury turn away, until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and
he forget that which thou hast done to him. Then will I send
and fetch thee from thence. Why should I be depraved also
of you both in one day? Natural man, the only reason
they don't kill us in our day, the only reason my family doesn't
kill me, the only reason your family doesn't kill you is because
the father still around. You know what Esau said? He said
in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. We'll get to that in
a minute, but he said in his heart, he said, the days of my
father's mourning, he already blessed us because he's about
to die. As soon as we get him in the grave and the wakes over,
I'll play church. I'll play religion. I'll keep
up with all this stuff. And I'm killing Jacob. Ain't nothing
changed. Nothing changed. Turn over Matthew
chapter 10. Matthew chapter 10. Begin in verse 16. Matthew 10, verse 16. Behold, I send you forth as sheep
in the midst of wolves. That's his preachers, but that's
also all of his people. We go into this daily world,
don't we? Go to work in the mornings. Be you therefore as wise as serpents
and as harmless as doves. But beware of men, for they will
deliver you up to the councils and they will scourge you in
their synagogues. And you shall be brought before
governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them
and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up,
take no thought how or what you shall speak, for it shall be
given you. In that same hour, which ye shall
speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your
father, which speaketh in you." Well, now that's not talking
about my family. Is it? No, that's mean folks. That's
the government. And that's him, the boogeyman. Everybody's just
scared to death of. Fools are scared to death of.
Let's see if he clarifies. Verse 24. And the brother shall
deliver up the brother to death. Well, it's just sibling rivalry.
No. And the father, the child, and the children shall rise up
against their parents and cause them to be put to death. Who's telling us this? Who's
speaking right now? The Lord is. Believe him. Believe
him. And you shall be hated of all
men for my name's sake. That's why. A lot of people hate
you. For Christ. But he that endureth till the
end shall be saved. Is this something that's just worn while you sleep?
You can't help it. If Christ is in you, they're gonna know.
Whenever Peter went to the first time he denied the Lord, you
know who it was to? A teenage little girl, doorkeeper. It was
a 13 year old girl keeping the door. And she said, I know you,
you're one of the Lord's disciples. You're a Christ disciple, ain't
you? She knew that. Isn't this obvious? That's what the Lord
said. He said, all men's gonna know
you're my disciples if you have love one towards another. There's
a countenance in God's people that can't be denied. There's
some evil in people that can't be denied either. They just spew
nastiness and deceit, don't they? Verse 23, but when they persecute
you in this city, flee to another city. For verily I say unto you,
you shall not have gone over all the cities of Israel till
the Son of Man come, the disciples not above his master, nor the
servant above his Lord. Is it enough for the disciple
that he shall be as his master and the servant as his Lord?
If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, what
do they say about our Lord? He's got a devil in him. How
much more should they call them of his household? You know, people's
told me that I talk too much about the blood and I'm crazy
and I got a devil in me. It's been told. Should I be shocked? We'll see the next hour. Oh,
David had somebody cursing him, didn't he? Come out cussing him
and throwing rocks at him. His servant said, nobody's gonna
talk to my Lord that way, not my king. Let me go down, I'm
gonna cut his head off. I'll bring it to you on a platter.
And he said, no, Lord put that in his mouth. Lord made Shimei
cuss me. Leave him be. Hit sowing. This is what happened between
Jacob and Esau. The Lord said, brother's gonna be against brother.
Father's gonna be against child. Those enemies are gonna be those
of his own household. That's figuratively and literally,
it's gonna happen. Is this new? Is that just New
Testament stuff? Turn back to Genesis four, I
thought about this too. Genesis four. Here's the first set of brothers.
The Lord said brother's gonna put up brother to death, isn't
he? Here's the first brothers. Genesis four, verse one. And
Adam knew Eve, his wife, and she conceived and bare Cain.
And she said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. She again bare
his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of the
sheep, but Cain a tiller of the ground. And in the process of
time, it came to pass. How long is that? I don't know.
It's wild. That Cain brought the first of the fruit of the
ground and offering to the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of
the firstling of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord
had respect unto Abel and to his offering. But unto Cain and
to his offering he had no respect. And Cain was very wroth and his
countenance fell." What's the difference? Well, Abel, like
he was told his whole life, said, you're going to have to bring
blood. We're gonna worship God. Where were they at? Worshipping
God. They knew to go church. Is that enough? There's no one
to go church. Will any church do? They'll die and go to hell
if it's wrong. God won't respect it. But they
knew what to do. Abel came and said, this ain't
mine, that's the Lord's. That thing live is alive because the
Lord did it. And there must be blood. They knew about the Lord
Jesus Christ. And Cain came and said, but you've
seen these broccoli? You know how hard it is to grow
broccoli in the desert? Takes a lot of water. Gets too hot,
gets too cold, it won't grow. I put cloths over it if it got
too hot in the sun. I put mulch around it if it got
too cold at night. I watered it. I made sure I ringed
it and manured it and everything else. And it's beautiful. It's
huge. Well, God did that, didn't he?
I'm thankful I'm not like other men. God said I have no respect for
that. There must be blood. There must be blood. The wages
of sin is death. The Lord said unto Cain, why
art thou wroth? Verse six, and why is thy countenance foul?
If thou do us well, shalt not thou be accepted? This ain't
a new question. You've known this your whole
life. For 100 years, 200 years, however long they've been there,
Adam's told them this. And if thou do us not well, if
you don't believe Christ, if you don't look to him only, sin
lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire,
and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his
brother, They said, why did you bring a lamb? Like that's the
only thing we can bring. Where in the world did you come
up with fruit? That's the way it seems right
under man ends death. What was you thinking? I want
to tell, I want to speak plainly to people in this generation
because I don't think they got long to go. I want to be like Paul to
the Galatians. Who's bewitched you? What is wrong with you? Stop it. You're going to die. Did Cain say, oh, you're right.
Find me a lamb. I got to take blood to God. I
can't come of my own. The innocent blood of another
must be shed for me. Did he do that? Cain talked to
his brother Abel when it came to pass. When they were in a
field, Cain rose up and killed Abel, his brother, and slew him.
He killed him. That's nothing new, is it? That's
as old as it was. That's the two brothers. Isaac,
we read a couple weeks ago, he was down there blessed a hundredfold
in that drought, and the Philistines envied him, didn't they? The
parents of that blind man in John 9, that father and that
mother said, I don't know, ask him. I can't lose my standing
in the church. I have an eldership. Fools! Who's bewitched them? They've
bewitched themselves, haven't they? in our day too. But it's
not so much us, it's not so much Abel, it's not so much Isaac,
it's not so much David to Absalom and everybody else in the scriptures.
It's the God that we serve, the God that saved us, the one that
loved us first, us who are unlovable. God showed mercy and he showed
grace. And we tell somebody, I don't
deserve nothing. Out of God's wisdom and for His
glory solely, He chose me before time and gave me life. Call on
Him who's able to save to the uttermost. People pull their
knives out. I'll cut your head off. You're
saying I ain't good? You're saying Grandma ain't good? My mommy
and daddy, my brothers and sisters, I liked them. They cursed God
and they lied on him and said that he wants things and they
preached a little G-God their whole life, but I liked them.
It don't matter, does it? It don't matter. Why does this
happen? Why do we have these worldly
struggles? Why could it be that in my own
home, in my family, those that share the DNA that I have, My
blood relatives, why would they want to kill me for this gospel's
sake? It's for our benefit and for God's glory. I'll tell you
the first reason. One, to keep us humble. To keep us humble. A good cushion from shimmy-eye
ain't never hurt nobody. That's good for you. That's good
for you. My pastor went down to Mexico years ago and went
to go preach. And there's people down there
that love the Lord. They love the Lord. and they
know, they've been taught some things about God's grace to sinners. And they love and respect and
honor those men with a double portion of honor that preach
the gospel. And my pastor went down to preach
to them, and you know what they had up? They had flags up. They
had a Mexican flag, one of the other preachers from another
state, Louisiana. They had his flag up, and they had the Commonwealth,
it's not a state, the Commonwealth of Kentucky. True blue flag. And they had a big banner hung
up, and it said, Welcome, Brother Henry. Now that's kind, and that's
respectful, isn't it? That's dangerous, is what that
is. That's dangerous, is what that is. God had to keep him
humble, didn't he? Someone had to curse him. Keeps
us humble and we need that. And the Lord knows how to humble
his own. I wouldn't correct them folks for doing that to him at
all. Good. Give him, go kill a calf and
give him filet mignon. It'd be all right. Could preach
word to you. Lord knows how to take care of him. But for the
reason this happens in our own homes and our own families, keep
us humble. Two, to make us cry unto the
Lord for help. We start to cry. What are you
going to do if your own turns against you? Who can help? Well, y'all can't. That's your
flesh and blood. That's your family. I'll turn to my brother. Well, my brother's the one trying
to kill me. Did Jacob say, Esau, can you help me out? I say it
sometimes. Kevin's a mean man. But Bailey,
now he's a good fella. Same guy, I'm Kevin Bailey. Bailey's
a good fella. Kevin's that mean fella. He can't
turn to Esau, that's the one that's gonna kill him, isn't
it? Who we gotta turn to? The Lord. And I don't mean cry
out, because everybody's gonna cry out. You get a flat tire,
you'll cry out to God. You don't win the lottery, you'll
say, oh, help me. I mean a soul cry. Not doctrine, not playing
church, a soul cry to God. He'll send these troubles, he'll
send these trials to do that, to keep us humble, to make us
start crying to him, and to make us need God's people. What do
you desire most when you have an enemy? A friend. What do you
need most in battle? An ally. You need a battle buddy.
That's what you need. He makes us see our need of God's
people. A desire to be with brothers
and sisters that want to worship the true and living God while
we're on this earth. It's necessary. It's necessary. Well, Kevin, I don't know. It
don't matter what you know and it don't matter what I know.
God says it's necessary. He calls us sheep. What's a sheep fear
more than anything? Being alone. Being alone. They're herd animals. They gotta
be together. Y'all are together. I'm not saying, I hope somebody
hears this as a sheep that's cold and lonely and finds other
sheep to be with. It's for their benefit. It makes us humble, makes us
cry to the Lord, makes us see a need of gathering, assembling
with his people in public worship. It's necessary. Forsaken if you
want to, I'm telling you it's necessary because God says it's
necessary. And to make us desire to leave this present evil world. I'm thankful for my brethren.
I love you. But we're going to be the same. But we have some
brethren that's going on home. And I miss them. But it's just
like they're in Hawaii and I'm going next week. I'll see them
in a little while. I don't care. It'll be fine.
It'll be fine. We'll be different, but we'll
be together. We'll worship the Lord together. We'll worship the Lord
here. We'll worship the Lord there. But whenever the woes
of this world weighs on us, and our children are out to get us,
and our mommy and daddy's out to get us, and our brothers and
our sisters are out to get us, and those we love and we work
with, those we wake up and go to work with in the mornings,
wanna kill us, you get tired of it. You get tired of it. That's
a trial, it's heavy. What am I gonna do? I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and
have these same woes again? Guess what? You got cancer and
you got a week left to live. Okay. Woo. Good. I'm ready to leave. I've watched
people die that did not rest, have all their rest sitting in
Christ. It's a frightful thing. They'll scream and cry and beg. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait. Oh, Mr. Rogers laid on his deathbed.
He went to seminary, you know, and he said, have I done enough?
Have I done enough? Have I done enough? Have I done enough? I
tell you the answer. No. You can't even start until
you're dead in trespasses and sins. I wish I could see a believer
on their deathbed and say, has Christ done enough? Amen, he has. That's
going to hurt, and I don't know what's going to happen. I wish
Lazarus was here to tell me what's going to happen. Hold my hand,
but I've got one better. I'll wake up and see here in
a second. It humbles us, makes us cry to the Lord for help,
makes us need God's people while we're on this earth, and it gives
us a desire to depart. We can't have fellowship with
darkness, we know that. We get sick and tired of this world.
That's four reasons we have so much trouble in our personal
relationships, and I hope that's a blessing to you. I hope that
helps you. But that's the fight, isn't it? I hope there's some
comfort in it. I hope there's some relief in the battle. That's
the fight. Now what about the flight? It was the title of my
message, From Fight to Flight. What about fleeing to Christ?
Back in our text there, in Genesis 27. I like it when it works out
this way. It was in Genesis 27 last week.
Four characters. And we'll give you the whole
key to it up front. Is that alright? There's four
characters here, and this is beautiful. This is a declaration
of the gospel. Esau, he's a picture of the law. Well, Kevin, last week you said
Esau was a picture of Christ. He is. And Esau is a picture
of the brother that wants to kill you. He is. You ever seen
God use somebody for a season? What if he needs somebody to
preach and I wasn't available? He can make stones get up here and
talk. He's made the jawbone of an ass talk, isn't he? Esau is a picture of the law
here. Rebekah is a picture still of the Holy Spirit like we saw
last time. Jacob is always a picture of the sinner. Sinner. And Laban. Rebekah's brother. And Haran. That's the Lord Jesus
Christ. Look here in verse 41. Genesis
27, 41. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith
his father blessed him. He hated him because of the father's
blessing. And Esau said in his heart, the
days of mourning for my father at hand, then will I slay my
brother Jacob. He's a picture of the law. He's
against us. Did you know that? Everybody
likes to put, well, I'm gonna get mad and I'm gonna go protest
because they don't have the Ten Commandments on the courthouse.
Oh, hush. Knock it off. You can't keep
them Ten Commandments anyway. If you had any good sense, you'd
run. That law's against us, against natural man. Isn't that what
Paul wrote to us in Colossians? He said, in you being dead in
your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he's quickened
together with him, forgiving your trespasses. How? Blotting
out the handwriting of ordinance that was against us. Man said
one time, well, the handwriting of ordinances, that's man's traditions,
that's not the law. Well, that's what was nailed
to his cross. Christ took it and nailed it to his cross. That's
his ordinances, isn't it? That's what was against us. I
don't care if a man's against me. We've offended God. He was against us, and he had
to send a propitiation. He had to send a bloody acceptable
sacrifice. He had to send his own lamb for
us, and he spoiled the principalities and powers, and he made a show
of them openly, openly, and triumphing over them in it. The law says
die. You get that? You deserve death. What you did was wrong. In every
point, we deserve to die. Verse 42. And these words of
Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. He said it in his
heart. How'd she know? God looks on the heart. Remember,
Rebekah's the Holy Spirit. You can fool me. You can fool
your brothers. You can't fool God. And she sent
and called Jacob, her younger son. Holy Spirit comes to us,
calls us by name. And said unto him, Behold, you
pay attention, thy brother Esau, that's touching thee, doth comfort
himself, purposing to kill thee. The Holy Spirit, Rebecca, says
the first thing to a sinner, the law is against you, and it's
rightful for you to die, unless you flee to one, I tell you.
It's rightful for you to die. That's a unique message in our
day, isn't it? What is all over, there's real estate companies
called God is Love. You know, that's crazy. God loves
you. Jesus died for you. That's the
message of everybody in a broad spectrum, across the boards.
Well, what about Catholics? Well, what about the Pentecostals?
Well, what about this? Well, what about nothing? It's the
same. There's two religions. Grace and works. They lead off,
God loves you, Jesus died for you. You know, not once did any
of the prophets, not once did any of the apostles, not one
of God's earthen vessels in our day, not once have they, not
once do they or will they ever say, God loves you, and little
Jesus is just dying to save you, and you're in his hands, or he's
in your hands, and he's just waiting for you to do with him
as you see fit. Will you please accept him? That ain't never
happened. If someone says those things,
if that's what you said underneath when you was a kid, this is bold,
and I'm going to tell you plain, somebody's got to. They're liars,
they're thieves, and they're charlatans. They're not telling
you the truth. That's not the gospel. It's not. What does God's people say? What
does his preachers say? Thus saith the Lord your God.
That's what God said, not what I think. All flesh is grass. You knowingly and unknowingly
and willingly, you broke God's holy law. Whether you knew it
or you didn't know it. And you cannot be in his presence.
He's holy. And the soul that sinneth, it
must die. We get that, did you know that? Natural man gets that.
Let me ask you a question. You're going to go in for a surgery,
they're going to take out your appendix. Do you want them out changing
oil and not wash their hands before they come and take your
appendix out? Well, no, it's a sterile field. If their hands drop below
like this, it's dirty. You got to go wash again. Got
to be elbows up, don't you? No, it's got to be clean. Why?
Something might get in and defile that person. We can't have no
dirtiness in a surgery room, an operating room. We know that,
don't we? What makes man thinking stand
for a holy God? God's people come, his preachers
come, saying, thus saith the Lord, all flesh is grass, and
behold, your God. God's holy. That's what Jonah
came preaching. He said, 40 days, and none of
this shall be overthrown. You can't be in his presence,
he's coming. Repent. You've sinned against the holy
God. John the Baptist came saying the same thing. In those days,
John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
repent ye for the kingdom of heaven's at hand. Peter said,
repent ye, therefore, be converted, that your sins may be blotted
out. Our Lord came. It says in Matthew 4, 17, from
that time, Jesus began to preach and say, what's the first thing
he said? Repent. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand. Turn to the holy God you offended. That don't
make no sense. He's the only one where mercy
can be found. Begging for forgiveness, begging for mercy, and he delights
to show mercy. He does. Rebecca was warning
Jacob. That's what the Holy Spirit does
is when he's come, he will approve the world of sin and of righteousness
and of judgment. Once a man's convicted of his
convicted and convinced of his condemnation, once you know you're
going to die, you'll quit kind of calling out and needing a
favor from God. You'll cry out from the soul and you'll see
that Christ is righteous. He's the holy one of Israel.
He's the one that lived perfectly. He's the one that satisfied the
law. And that's the only one you can cry out to. And we flee to
him. Verse 42. And these words of
Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. And she sent and
called Jacob, her younger son, and said unto him, behold, thy
brother Esau has touching thee, has concerning you. Doth comfort
himself. What he's doing's right, to kill
thee. Now therefore, my son, Obey my
voice. Arise and flee thou to Laban,
my brother to Haran. Flee to the Savior at Calvary. Flee to him right now. Obey me. I'm just telling you what God
said. Obey him and I'll double down on it. Run to Christ. Run
to him. Run to that city of refuge. You've
killed somebody. You're gonna die. He's the city. Go in. Don't go to the outside
of the city and tell everybody all about the city. I don't mean
it until you ever block and brick and that whole wall. And you
know what kind of door latches they had? Here's the kind of hinges
they had. And these hinges were invented in 1600. Oh, hush. Go in. You'll
die outside. Don't matter if you're a foot
away or a mile away. Flee to him, run to him, verse 44, and
tarry with him a few days until thy brother's fury turn away.
Stay at the foot of the cross until the Lord shows you your
enemies are gone. Well, I got so many demons I'm
fighting. Well, run to him until he defeats your demons. Look
to him more. That ain't bad advice. You get
that? I ain't never gonna go wrong telling somebody to look
to Christ. I've been told I was going wrong. I ain't doing wrong. Look to him, run to him, stay
there until your enemy's gone, that the law's been satisfied.
That law's gonna kill you. Stay looking to him until you
see that that law's completely satisfied. Every jot, every tittle
worked perfectly in his hand, not ours, on our behalf, his
righteousness. He magnified the law, did you
know that? He magnified, that law's holy. He kept all of it. How do we know that law's holy?
He's the one that kept it. He saw fit to keep it. Oh, it's
important, isn't it? He had to live that perfect life
for me. I gotta stay at his feet, run to him, tarry with him until
I see he had to live that life for me. And I see why he had
to come. And I see why he had to die.
And I see where he is now. That blood's necessary. And because
of that blood, Judgment has been satisfied. I'm the sinner. He's
the Savior and it's finished The Holy Spirit has to make us
obey his voice to know that you get that It's a work of God This is just you know that for
us to flee to Christ, that's right, that's just He's the one
that justifies Because of cross blood that's what blotted out
our sin. I Verse 45, you stay there until thy brother's anger
turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to
him. The Holy Spirit speaks of his brother, Christ. We call
them brothers, okay? They're one. It's a triune God,
manifest in a body, a whole Godhead in a body. They said, you go
to my brother. That's who he's testifying of,
isn't it? We're about the Holy Spirit is going to testify Christ.
He said, you go to my brother and you stay with him until the
law forgets what you've done to him. How could the law forget the
God who changes not the God who cannot forget says their sins
and their iniquities. I will remember no more because
he sees the blood. Now, we know that. We have liberty.
All things are legal. Don't mean they're expedient.
All things are legal. Do you want to leave Christ? See, I
believe that law is plumb, totally fulfilled. Every drop, every
bit of it, clean. I'm made as holy as he is holy
right now. I believe your new man that's
dwelling in you is as holy as he's ever going to be. You're
going to grow in grace. I believe that. Now, do you want
to turn to the law? That's what stayed his feet.
You know how long Jacob stayed there? A long time. She said,
you stay a couple days. Oh, it was a whole lot longer
than a couple days. Why don't you go outside and see if death's
out there? Nah, I'll stay right here. I'm
gonna stay where Christ is in my life. Isn't that good? Good
thing. Let's pray together. Father,
thank you for this hour. Thank you for our brethren of
old that you've written and record these things for our instruction,
for our comfort, and that we can see how your son saves his
people. Make us flee, make us obey the
voice of your spirit. Flee to Christ and tarry with
him. Stay there, right at his feet. Thank you for such great
a salvation. Lord, give us a word, be with
us as we're persecuted in this life, as those seek to kill us Speak through your people. Use your power to allow us to
say, come see a man that told me everything about me. What truth we have, what a Christ
we have, Messiah. Thank you, Lord. Forgive us for
what we are. It's in his name that we ask,
amen. All right. We'll meet back 1030. There's
a couple I emailed her by this morning. It's the final Caribbean
mission newsletter Last one I print out more if you want it We got
a few pieces of paper left in the office but the last one for
a matter by copy and there's a few copies on the back table
there if y'all like to read it and I'm thankful for moose and
Lords made him faithful for a long time. So as they go on to the
next thing Lord has for him it happens and I'll give you a long
list of the Lord moving his voice to another pulpit. It happens
more than you think. But I pray the Lord's in it and
blesses those people in Montana and Moose. And he's with them
as he's promised he will be. So anyway, 1030. Thank you.
