00:00The Lord is our Lord, to Him belongs the glory, brothers and sisters, for what He has done for us.
00:08How good the Lord is to us, to all of us.
00:12And the Lord is good to those who do not know him, because the Scripture says that He speaks about his sun,
00:20who makes it rain on those who praise him and on those who do not praise him.
00:28Because it is his goodness, and if you are perfect as your Father in heaven, it is perfect.
00:33Our Father is perfect, brothers.
00:37And we are gathered here and an absolute truth must be for us that the Lord is with us.
00:46If we don't believe that, there's no point in being here and wasting our time.
00:50The Lord is with us.
00:53He is always with us, he promises in his word that he will guide us.
00:59I will be with you until the end of time, brothers.
01:01Christ is with us, God is with us, God is here.
01:05He is a Spirit, he cannot be seen with the eyes, but he is here with us.
01:10Because if we stand and talk about His word, we preach, we praise,
01:14the Holy Spirit is the one who guides us.
01:16And open our lips that the Holy Spirit is God.
01:20He guides us, because if it were not so, woe betide us without God.
01:25Look, like Moses says, if you don't come with me, I'm not going anywhere.
01:32If the Lord were not with us here, there would be no point in that meeting.
01:38But the Lord is here, brothers.
01:40And I want to encourage you with a word of encouragement from Psalm 46, where it tells us,
01:46God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the crews.
01:54Therefore, we will not have, even if the earth is removed and the mountains are carried into the heart of the sea,
02:01though its water roar and its waters trouble, though the mountains tremble with its braying.
02:06Brother, that must be ours, the Scripture tells us.
02:11Who should it be? Where should our safety, our refuge, be?
02:16In God, he tells us here.
02:18He says, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the crews.
02:23In the crew, in the suffering, in the pain, in the crew.
02:27He must be the soonest help.
02:30Our security, our refuge, must not be temporary, brother.
02:35It must be in God, in the God of hosts, in the Jehovah of hosts.
02:40It should not be about temporary things.
02:42Even our security should not be in our health, if we have health, because it is temporary.
02:49But God is eternal, so our security must always be in the Lord, no matter what happens,
02:54As I say, there is a lot of noise, there is a lot of trouble, a lot of crew.
03:00The earth seems to be about to collapse, the mountains seem to be about to fall into the sea.
03:07The Bible tells us to have confidence, to trust in the Lord,
03:12and that's where our safety is, brother.
03:15In the whole business of our life, in everything we do.
03:19Look how it ends in verse 10 and 11.
03:22Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations in the places of the earth.
03:30Be still, Scripture is telling you, don't be afraid, don't worry.
03:37I am in control, I am the Creator, the Creator God of heaven and earth, the Almighty, the Eternal.
03:44Stay still, don't be anxious, don't worry, I am with you.
03:48I am with you, the Lord tells us.
03:50And it says here, Jehovah of hosts is with us, our refuge is the God of Jacob, brother.
04:00The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is with us.
04:07So there are so many verses that say, do not fear, do not be afraid, do not be afraid, do not be afraid.
04:14I am in control, take refuge in me, trust in me, I am your refuge, I am your security.
04:21I can help you when you have crew, suffering, pain, fear.
04:26Go, Lord, He is the only safe refuge, brother.
04:33In His hand no one can take us out of the Father's hand, as the Lord Jesus Christ tells us.
04:37So I encourage you to do that, because here on earth, the Bible says, we should have crews.
04:42And many times into our lives, into our lives, come problems and worries.
04:48Or there are times when we are more in the flesh than in the spirit.
04:51And then more worry comes.
04:53But that word reminds us that we go in the spirit, that we trust in the Lord.
05:00With all our hearts, because He is with us and promises us His word.
05:04Brother, He cannot lie, He is here.
05:07He is with you, he is with me.
05:09And he loves us so much that he gave his Son for us.
05:12And keeps us forever.
05:14Lord, we thank you for that afternoon, Lord.
05:17We thank you, Lord, that you are so good.
05:19And that word of encouragement, Lord, that comforts our hearts and brings security.
05:25He has real security in You, because You are Almighty, Lord.
05:30We thank you for that afternoon, Lord.
05:32We thank you for loving us so much, Lord.
05:35We thank you for your word.
05:36We thank you for your children.
05:38I thank you, Lord, for every heart and for every brother and sister who is here, Lord.
05:44If you have tribulation or suffering, help him, Lord.
05:47And show yourself, Lord, that you are in control.
05:50And there is no jam to fear, Lord, because You love us, Lord.
05:54Glory to your holy name.
05:55I ask you, Lord, to bless your offering.
05:58In the name of your Son.
06:00Amen.
06:00Amen.
