Transcription

The speaker starts by greeting various individuals and apologizing for yawning. They express gratitude for blessings and donations to their ministry. The speaker then discusses their decision to focus on ministry and the support they have received. They talk about their job at Ace Hardware and driving for Uber to make extra money. However, due to the donations to their ministry, they have not had to drive for Uber this week. They thank their supporters and share a personal story about spending time with their son and future daughter-in-law. They emphasize the importance of faith and trusting in God during difficult times. They read Bible verses shared by a person named Ray and reflect on their meaning. They encourage listeners to stand firm in their faith and not let fear overcome them. They emphasize the role of God as a shepherd who provides and protects. They conclude by urging listeners to trust in God's goodness and mercy. Good morning, good morning, good morning, sorry I'm about yawning, who was the first one on there to see me yawn?

is Friday morning, praise God, even though I go to work today, hey, quick praise report, hang on a second, I want to thank, I think it's Miss Katie, her name is, Brother Nate, good to see you, good to see you, oh we got London, oh good morning, good morning, good morning, but let me get a praise report, I think it's Miss, oh my, my, my, my, I don't know, I should have wrote her name down, but the point I'm saying is she blessed the ministry yesterday, let me see if I got her name right here, hang on, hang on, wait a minute, I might have it, Miss Joy, Miss Joy I want to thank you, you blessed the ministry yesterday, just want to thank you so much Miss Joy, wanted to make sure we got that, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for blessing the ministry, folks but let me tell you something, ever since I came on at the beginning of this week, I let everybody know that I believe God is calling me to really focus on ministry, okay, and I've always felt that, I left corporate America almost three years ago, but the problem I had is I didn't ask people, because why, I don't know, who knows why, maybe too ashamed, too much pride, I don't know, but a few people have told me, Pastor Paul, you need to say something, I believe God has called you to teach and preach, I even had a pastor said if you started a, what do you call it, a patron, he goes, I tell you right now, I would follow you on, is it Patriot or Patron, Patron, whatever it is, and I said okay, but I finally broke down at the beginning of this week and I confess to all of you that I want you to partnership with our ministry, to donate, and people have done it daily, and so what has happened, if you remember, I work at Ace Hardware in the morning and then I transition and I Uber for about two and a half hours, my goal for Uber is to raise about $50 a night, now, the Ace is just to take care of me and Miss Debbie's responsibilities, the Uber is just our fun money, that would be able to go to grab a burger in and out or, you know, maybe take a road trip up to, you know, I don't know, the coast, however, I haven't had the Uber all week, you do the math, people bless the ministry that I haven't had the Uber all week, and I thank you, geez, you Uber two hours to work, well, I work an eight hour day for Ace Hardware and then I Uber two hours after that, so I get off Ace at 4.30 some days, 5.30 other days, and I jump in and I Uber for probably about two hours, I've gone two and a half hours, my goal is just to make $50 a day, and I try to do that five days a week, so thank you all, thank you so much for allowing me not to have to go out and Uber, so what has been going on, last night my son came over with his fiance, we went through the whole wedding, how that's going to play out, how that's going to work, I wouldn't have Ubered anyway, but that was just a beautiful thing to be able to do, I didn't have to go out and go to Uber, I got home, I got ready, I studied, I worked with my future daughter-in-law and my son, spent time with Miss Debbie, and praise God, that's folks I want to thank you, thank you for blessing, and let's just, I'm not looking for, I'm looking for long-term donors, I want people to donate and be partners with us, month in and month out, but you know really what I want from you from the very beginning, your prayers, if you could bless our ministry with your prayers, trust me, prayers go a lot farther than monetary gain, prayers, but please partner with us, alright, we're going to do something very powerful, as you saw yesterday, I'm going through a storm, I'm going through a pop quiz as we said yesterday, but you know, by golly, I'm feeling pretty good about the pop quiz, God is blessing, so here we go, yesterday, a beautiful gentleman went ahead and sent me some verses, and we're going to read the verses that he sent me, and this is what he said, some inspiration I would share with you, love you brother, brother Raymond sent this, let me repeat this again, some inspiration I would love to share with you, love you brother, so we're going to look at the verses that he sent me, brother Ray, we're going to look at the verses that you blessed me with, Miss Lacey, good to see you this morning, alright, let's turn our Bibles to Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy chapter 31 verse 8, Deuteronomy chapter 31 verse 8, see this is a beautiful thing folks, when the Bible talks about iron sharpens iron, you know sometimes we have people that will give us advice, and that advice is based on maybe experience, that advice probably has great intentions, and there's nothing wrong with getting good advice from people with some wisdom, but there's so much value in getting a godly advice with the word of God from a godly person, good morning Miss Lacey, good to see you this morning, so let's read this, hang on let me get my notes back up, my phone is going out already, my other phone, Deuteronomy 31 verse 8 says this, here we go, I love this, it says, and the Lord, he is the one who goes before you, oh my my, let me get a sip, Brother Ray, come on now, he is the one that goes before you, he will be with you, he will not leave you, nor forsake you, do not fear, nor be dismayed, did you hear that, good morning Lamb, see yesterday I was talking yesterday, sharing yesterday that I am going through a test, I got some information here in the last couple days that really took the wind out of my sails, now health, my family's fine, Miss Debbie's fine, health, we're fine, we're fine, it was something bigger, but something came in my direction yesterday, thank you, thank you, that took the wind out of my sails, I just got out of Bible study, I'm feeling the presence of prayer by you all, I'm at work and I'm having a great day, and I get this information that just was like a kick in the stomach, and I didn't lose my faith, but you know when you get so shook that, you know your foundation is solid, but you've been shook, you know the building sways a bit, but it doesn't tumble, it sways a bit but it doesn't fall over, that's how I felt, I was so devastated, but this brother sent me this verse, Brother Ray, and I'll read it again, look what it says, and the Lord, he is the one who goes before you, goes before you, now how do I look at that, goes before you, let's say that we're going into battle, alright, we're going into battle, and before I get to the main event, to the battle, the Lord is already there, think about that, no matter what's going to go on tomorrow, my God is there, no matter what is about to come, God is there, no matter what the situation turns out to be, God was already there, but what I've got to do is trust in God, trust in the Lord, read it again, he will be with you, he will not leave you nor forsake you, watch what it says, do not fear, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, Brother Ray, you're stepping on my toes here brother, you sent me a verse and you're stepping on my toes, and that's a good thing folks, there's nothing wrong with the Word of God stepping on your toes, there's nothing wrong with the Word of God causing you to rethink a circumstance or a situation, it's one of those things you want to hear, you need to hear, Jim I saw that, what should we make the title this morning, it's okay to be uncomfortable, that's the title, it's okay to be uncomfortable, that's the title, here we go, so when Brother Ray sent this and I took a look at it, it had me to rethink because when this subject matter came my way, when I found out what I found out, it really caused me to, wait a minute, fear, it caused me to fear because, and I'm not going to go into the details of what happened, in the future we'll talk about it, but it caused me like, what happened, why did this happen, what if this happens, and no, that can't, and all of a sudden you have Satan playing all these tricks on you, when you're dealing with the spirit of fear, but what does the Bible say, for we do not have the spirit of fear, see that was Satan trying to mess with me, that was Satan trying to mess with you, as you go through things and deal with things, and all of a sudden you get a word, you get a message, you get, someone notifies you of something, all of a sudden you start operating in fear, as if God can't handle it, you start operating in fear as if it got caught off guard, as if it got caught off guard, you operate in fear as if like, oh no God, what are we going to do, how do we fix this, but what does it say, and I read it again, watch this, and the Lord, he is the one who goes before you, he will be with you, he will not leave you nor forsake you, do not fear, nor be dismayed, Ray, I think that was an on-time verse, I want to thank you, I needed that, and folks, I say it, and I keep saying it, we're going to go through some things, we're going to endure some things, we're going to get, we're going to get message that, um, a loved one is ill, we're going to, we're going to get a notification from the company, the job, that they don't need our services anymore, we're going to get, we're going to get a spouse to say, I've fallen out of love, we're going to get a friendship that has gone south, we're going to get notice that a bill that you didn't know about shows up, and I'm sorry my eyes itching, the list goes on, there are going to be things that take place in your life, there are going to be things that happen, but we must keep our focus on the Lord, on the Lord, we must say to ourselves, if God brings me to it, the Lord will get me through it, we have to, we have to basically say, Lord, I know that I'm going through this, but I know you're doing something, I know you're shaping me, you're molding me, you're preparing me, Lord, I know, and you got to understand too, watch this, watch this, this is important, people are watching you as you go through a thing, as you go through the storms of your life, people are watching you, they're seeing how you react, they're seeing how you respond, they're seeing what you say, and by golly, it's okay to be shook for a moment, but get out of that shookness and get in your faith, get out of that fear and get in your faith, do you know fear and faith cannot coexist together? Uh-oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, do you know that fear and faith cannot coexist together? It's either one or the other, see, when you fear, thank you, when you fear, you're being faithless, oh, he's Pastor Paul, but fear is a natural react, absolutely, fear for a moment is the natural response, y'all didn't hear me, fear for a moment is the natural response, but we can't allow fear to get in the throne or on the throne of God, we can't, see, fear causes you to question God, it causes your faith to minimize, without faith it's impossible to please God, I think we see that in the book of Hebrews, what was that, Ray, what did you say, 8-11, what did you say, 8-11, I want to read that for you because you put it out there, but if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he will raise Christ, that's a great verse, 8-31, so sorry, please forgive me, 8-31, what does it say, what then shall we say to those things if God is for us who can be against us, amen, but fear cannot coexist with faith, folks, we have to keep our faith in God, no matter what's going on, no matter the situation, no matter what the physician says, no matter what the spouse said, no matter what is going on, we must keep our faith in God, all right, let's look at that next verse brother Ray sent us, Psalms 23, 1-6, Psalms 23, 1-6, see, this is what happens, folks, when you're going through a storm, there's going to be a brother and sister that's going to encourage you, when you're going through a storm, there's going to be a brother and sister that's going to send you some words, they're going to send you the word of God, because that's the only thing that can help you get through, that's the only thing that builds up your faith, Psalms 23, 1-6, Psalms 23, 1-6, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, he makes me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside the still waters, he restores my soul, he leads me into the path of righteousness, for his name's sake, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, watch this, your rod and your staff, they comfort me, you prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemy, you anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, folks, right there, right there, even though I am walking through the valley of death, the Lord is with me, even though that there are things coming at me left and right, and you, not just me, and you, God is protecting me, he's watching over me, he's blessing me, he's keeping me, he's making sure that things are working the way they are supposed to work, you know the book of Romans, all things working together, God is watching, as I like what our sister said, stand firm, in and on the word of God, stand firm, stand firm, folks, people are watching you, stand firm, don't be moved, I sung a song on here a couple weeks ago, we used to sing a song at church, I shall not, I shall not be moved, I shall not, I know I can't sing, but you get the point, I shall not be moved, that's a song stating that you shall not be moved, that I am planted like a tree beside the water, I am planted, I am focused and I'm standing firm in God's promises and God's word, that's how we have to be, folks, we have to be that way, once again, the guys at work, at Ace, they said, why are you so happy all the time, why are you such a good mood, I'm too blessed not to be happy, I am too blessed to allow Satan to try to get me, I'm too blessed to allow Satan to try to convince me that I'm not blessed, convince me that I'm not blessed, I am too blessed to allow Satan to try to convince me that my God is not for me, I'm too blessed, I don't have time for that, I don't even have my moments, I have my moments but I have to disappear into my prayer closet, I've got to go to my truck real quick, I've got to say the word as I'm walking around the store, I got to preach to myself, oh, I'm blessed, I'm a child of God, my name is written in the book of life, God is for me, no weapon shall form, I got to do that and as I do that, that nurtures that root, that seed, it nurtures that word in my heart and all of a sudden, the fear, the thoughts, the message Satan is trying to put upon me, the evil one, the enemy of God, the enemy of me, all of a sudden, I started like, wait a minute, I'm a child of God, come on now, Satan, I got time for you, I'm a child of God, I've been adopted into the royal family, I'm a peculiar person, I'm an ambassador representing the kingdom here on earth, it wasn't a surprise, whatever might have happened in your life, God has you but you got to go back to that verse when you said, for the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, did you see that? The Lord is my shepherd, what does a shepherd do? The shepherd provides for the sheep, when the sheep need water, what does the shepherd do? He takes them to water, if the sheep need food, he takes them to the green pasture, if they need protection, the shepherd is there with his staff and his rod, he protects his sheep, I think I even heard in the scripture, where he left 99 to go get that one and when he found the one, he celebrated, folks, we got a good shepherd, we got a good shepherd, you know, sheep are unusual creatures, my neighbor down the street, he has sheep, he said, they are the meekest, kindest, most humblest creatures that you have, he goes, but they're not, they're not the brightest of the bunch either, but guess what? They're loyal to their owners, their shepherds, my neighbor, they're loyal to them, when they call them, here they come, the sheep, when the sheep see them, they get all excited, run over to them and he said, but they're not the brightest creatures, but you know what? They got a good shepherd, see, we're not the brightest creatures, we don't know everything, but God does, we're not in all places, but God is, we're not all powerful, but God is, see, our shepherd loves us, our shepherd watches over us, our shepherd keeps us, folks, let's keep our focus on the shepherd, he's got us, he says what? He makes me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside the still waters, he restores my soul, he leads me to the path of righteousness, what? For his name's sake, what is that name? That name is Jesus, that is above every name, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess, folks, Jesus, people who don't believe in Jesus, I'm just amazed, people who do not receive Jesus and minimize him just to be a prophet, I'm amazed, but Jesus is the one that went to the cross for you and I, that resurrected on the third day, that sits at the right hand side of the father, it is Jesus that's been given all authority, so when I read this Psalms 23, I can't help but think of Jesus, think about it, yo, that I walked through the valley of death, the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me, you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, how many of you said that to yourselves as you walked, surely your goodness and mercy follow me, say that to yourself as you're in the course of your day, say that to yourself as you endure your storm, say that to yourself when you get that negative information, surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me, think about it, casting down every thought that what exalts itself against the God, I love it, casting down every thought, you have a negative thought, cast that bad boy down, but start standing on God's word, standing firm on God's word, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, folks, folks, we just got to trust in God, but you got to say God's word to yourself, you got to say God's word to yourself, you got to say it so that you are feeding that seed, you know, you take the seed, you put that seed on a table, you'll come back two weeks later, it's still a seed, you take a seed and you put it on a piece of lawn furniture outside, just let it sit there, you come back two weeks later, it's still a seed, but it's when you put that seed in some good soil, now, you're not listening to me, you're not hearing me, so you need to take that seed and put it in some good soil, Joshua, good morning, brother, you take that seed and put it in some good soil and all of a sudden, put some water on it, then all of a sudden, a little, little sprout will pop up, takes root, but if you take that seed and just leave it there on the table, it'll never be what it's supposed to be, see, if you take the seed of God and you don't plant it, uh-oh, I know, I'm getting to somebody, if you don't take that seed and you don't plant it within the heart, it'll never take root, it'll never grow, but when you take it and plant it within your heart in that good soil and you keep reading and studying and praying, all of a sudden, that seed takes root, uh-oh, now, when the storm comes, you reflect back to the seed and the tree and you start, wait a minute, wait a minute, if God is for me, who can be against me, there's not a weapon on earth that can form, that can be formed, that can come against me, I'm a child of God, I've been adopted in this royal family, I'm a peculiar person, I say again, I'm an ambassador representing the kingdom of God, for his, for what, let's read it again, what did he say, surely his goodness and mercy shall follow me, there's goodness and mercy following me, and when people see this, it gets infectious, when people see this attitude of gratitude, all of a sudden, they start asking you, hey, hey, hey, brother, hey, sister, what, what, what does it make you, what is it that you have that causes you to just be optimistic, what's called faith, then all of a sudden, that opens up that door and opportunity to share with them, even with, even with us, I'm praying, if there's one thing I do, is that I encourage you to have an attitude of gratitude towards the Lord, I pray that, I pray that you all get, see this 60 year old man and you like, man, he's fired up for God, I want some of that, you can, all you have to do is make your mind up and get in that word and allow that word to motivate you, to get you excited, to stand on it, that's all you got to do, you just got to make your mind up, say, Lord, I'm going to study my word, I'm going to meditate on it day and night, I'm going to, I'm going to apply it in my life, I'm going to be preaching to myself as I'm at work, I'm going to be preaching to myself as I'm interacting with the children, I'm going to stand on this word, if you would just do that, if you get anything from me, if you hear anything from me, please, be optimistic, be positive for the glory of God, people are watching you, and remember I said it the other day, we are all influencers, we are all influencers, some of you might say, well, Pastor Paul, you got X amount of thousand people that you are an influencer, no, no, no, we are all influencers, I said this the other day, we are all influencers, why? We influence our children, we influence our neighbor, we influence the people at the store, we influence the people we interact, we influence, don't think about folks, get past numbers, it's about quantity, it's about quantity, not quality, all right, I should say, I'm sorry, it's about quality, not quantity, the quality of influence that you have is more important than a person who has a billion people on TikTok, because those intimate influential relationships on a day-to-day basis, that's the kind of things that lead people to the Lord, when they see your attitude, when they see your response, when they see you standing on the Word of God, you are influencing them, and that is important, so remember, it's not about quantity, it's not about how many people, it's about the quality of each opportunity that God allows you to influence somebody, and in that, are they seeing the love of God in your heart? I know we're going a couple different directions this morning, and Jim, I know the title that we gave, to some degree, does not even align up to what we're talking about this morning, but I want us to understand that, even as a pastor, I go through, thank you so much, even as a pastor, as a believer, as a follower of Christ, as a Christian, I go through my own personal storms, you go through your own personal storms, but what helps me is my relationship with the Lord, so let's take about, let's do about five more minutes, I'm going to read a couple more scriptures, and I got to get off and get ready, but I want to encourage you guys this morning, I tell you what, God is blessed, so we are reading some scriptures that were sent to me by a young man named Ray, and so he said, hey, and I write repeats, some inspiration I would share with you, love you brother, so he sent these verses to me, and we're reading them, so here we go, Psalms 125 verse 2, Psalms 125 verse 2, I hope this morning is being helpful, Psalms 125 verse 2, let's see, Psalms 125 verse 2, as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people from this time forth and forever, ooh, as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people from the time forth and forever, you know what, that's a very interesting and powerful verse, let me tell you why, first let's talk about the application to us, as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people from this time forth and forever, I'm surrounded, and we in Arizona, they call it the valley of the sun, and we have mountains everywhere, right there is a mountain, I could walk from my house and be at the base of that mountain, less than, I don't know, five minutes, if that, a mountain, so we're surrounded, so when you think about the imagery that we're getting here, you have these mountains, maybe some of you don't live in a mountain area, but you have all these mountains that surround you, to some degree they're a protection from the storms, the wind currents that come out of the desert, they're a form of protection, and they're very interesting, these mountains, and so I think it's a very powerful image that they give us here, that these mountains are surrounded, they're almost like a gate, they're almost a protection, and I love the imagery that it gives us with regards to the mountains and us, the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people from the time forth and forever, now here's interesting, the mountains that surround Jerusalem are the enemies, of Jerusalem, the mountains that surround, those are filled with the non-Jews, that were descendants of Esau, and those mountains that surround Jerusalem, right, are there, but how interesting, God compares the mountains, right, but in the same verse he says, not only those mountains there that surround Jerusalem, the imagery of those mountains, but I can protect you from who can come down from those mountains, I can watch over you as Jerusalem or Israel has been protected over the centuries, no one can come against Israel, why, because God is for them, and those mountains really are imagery of God and his divine protection, even though those mountains in Jerusalem, the enemy of Israel is there, but God watches over them, what's the example, the six day war, the formation of Israel, and all the other events where Arab Muslim nations have come against Israel out of those mountains, Mount Esau, but they cannot overcome Israel, because God is for Israel, think about that y'all, that right there, that little piece of information, now let us apply to our lives, here we go, so the Lord surrounds his people from this time forth and forever, I am surrounded, I am protected by whom, the Lord, he watches over me, he keeps me, he takes care of me, he provides my every need, we don't have to worry, we can look at Israel, he's doing it with Israel, he will do it with you and I, why do we worry, why do we get concerned with fear, God is watching over us, he's keeping us, he's protecting us, and don't get me wrong, we can have that moment of fear, but do not let it take residence in your heart, do not do it, let's look at this last verse, Philippians 4, 6 and 7, Philippians 4, and I've got to get going after that, Philippians 4, Philippians 4, 6 and 7, Philippians 4, 6 and 7, there's one more after that, but we're going to make this the last one for now, all right, here we go, oh boy, boy, boy, boy, boy, boy, hang on, I'm almost there, here we go, Philippians chapter 4, verses 6 and 7, be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your request be known, request be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, think about that, think about that, oh, but what should we think on, read the next part, finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are a good report, if there's any virtue, and if there be anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things, and that right there, Jim, I concur, will bring you perfect peace, meditate on God, meditate on His word, meditate on His goodness, meditate on His love, meditate with, just, if you want to just meditate on what Jesus Christ did by going to the cross, trust me, that will put you over the top with pure joy, meditate on that, meditate on all the things
