00:00Here upon Jesus, look into his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim
00:10in the light of his glory and grace. That's right, behold the face of Jesus. He is your precious
00:20beloved Savior, your almighty God, your wonderful Counselor. He is your Comforter, the Spirit of
00:27Living, Loving, Life-Giving. God is always there for you. Jesus said the Holy Spirit will comfort you,
00:32keep you, counsel you, and fill you with boldness and courage and confidence to get you the whole
00:38way through your life journey today and always. And as I watched a film today on the loss of
00:46nutrients and comparing genetically modified plants and produce, that being fruits and vegetables,
00:52with other plants that grow up naturally and that have far more flavor, taste components
00:59nutritionally. Speaking of macro, micronutrients, minerals, vitamins, those plants that grow up
01:07in seemingly a messy and turbulent and difficult environment that don't always look perfect
01:14outwardly. They actually have triple, if not quadruple, the vitamin and mineral components
01:20inwardly because oftentimes these genetically modified fruits and vegetables, such as the tomato that's
01:27been produced in Israel for a seed company in France, it now has a three-week shelf life, but at the same
01:36time, it has only a third of the vitamins and the minerals, as does the heirloom tomato that only has a
01:46three-day shelf life, which is much smaller and doesn't look as outwardly beautiful to behold.
01:53And the seed companies are going after these genetically modified seeds that look good and that sell
02:01in the marketplace. And just a kilo of genetically modified tomato seeds sell for over 400,000 euros in
02:10France. Yet, the overlooked heirloom tomatoes have tripled the nutritional value of vitamins A, C, E,
02:20calcium, and much more. So as you endure the trials and tribulations of life, as I recently beheld and
02:28watched a video of a farmer who has the best tomatoes in France, and I've watched other videos such as
02:34the olive trees, how they endure such brutality and vicious environments and rugged terrain,
02:42yet they produce the sweetest and most vibrant and robust olive oil. Well, likewise, when you go
02:49through twists and turns and turbulence in life, God Almighty is there for you and he's working
02:54something in you that is of great value, though others don't see it. God's forming and fashioning you
02:59and purifying you and perfecting you and pushing and propelling you into his image, to his purpose,
03:05and causing you to be positioned for greatness. So don't you dismay in the turbulence and the twists
03:11and the turns of life and the chaos and all of the difficulties therein, because God Almighty is
03:19glorified in the midst of our suffering. And even our suffering causes us to lift up our head to heaven
03:24and to turn our eyes upon Jesus. And the great apostle Peter, he wrote, he says,
03:30in as much as you suffer as a Christian, so too shall you rejoice when God's glory is revealed in
03:36and through you. So be encouraged, my friend, all things work together for good to them who love God
03:42and are called according to his purpose. So be encouraged. The sun always shines above the clouds.
03:48You're going to make it. God is your best friend. He's always there for you. The spirit of God is in you
03:53and with you if you're born again and you're a believer in Christ. And if you're not, you can
03:57simply ask Jesus to come and live big in you by the Holy Spirit that rose him from the dead.
04:02And God Almighty will forgive you of your sins and cleanse you within, cause you to become a new
04:06creation in him so you can taste and see the goodness and the glory of heaven and live in victory
04:11on earth, being empowered, be empowered by the Holy Spirit today and be encouraged to see the
04:17greatness and the glory that God's birthing and working in and through you daily, even though you don't
04:22always feel so great or you don't always feel so glorified. Nonetheless, God's got his grip.
04:28He's got his hand on you and he's got you in the grip of his grace and he's up to something good.
04:32So be encouraged, my friend. God loves you. God's for you. And if he be for you, who can be against you?
