Keith Moore No Worries Pt.3 Long Life And Peace

turn with me please to matthew the 6th chapter matthew 6 a few weeks ago i did a single what what are you laughing about and then we did another one so i guess that would have been a what a double now i realize it could be a series [Laughter] you're not surprised at all i didn't in seeking the lord i was reminded of this and perceived that we did not finish it that we need to continue in it and we called it no worries no worries in matthew the 6th chapter and the 25th verse let's read from there through the end of the verse and i'm going to um well we'll just read it in the king james and then i'll mention some other things jesus said therefore i say to you take no thought for your life what you shall eat what you shall drink nor yet for your body what you shall put on have you ever got concerned about getting your groceries yes you didn't do what he told you to do you ever got concerned about your clothes or for your kids or then you didn't do what he told you to do should we take him serious on this or just assume we can't do it would he tell us to do something that he he knows we couldn't do let's take it serious jesus said take no thought other translation says don't don't be anxious for your life what you shall eat what you shall drink for your body what you shall put on is not the life more than meat and the body then raiment most everybody especially christian people know worry is bad i mean most any believer you'd find you say you know do you enjoy worrying is worrying a good thing you think worrying's good most christians would say no and yet most christians continue to worry a lot and be anxious why well that's what we began talking about in this series we're calling no worries one reason here is a lack of understanding of priorities everybody say priorities priorities not knowing what's important and what's not because so much of what human beings christians believers worry about to god is not important and if we saw it through his eyes it wouldn't be a big deal to us hmm you know when you were three when the the head came off your dolly it maybe was a traumatic thing right it was like oh no your favorite dolly and you cried and you you felt so bad and are you you know maybe it was your gi joe or whatever your dump truck or whatever it was but it broke the guys were waiting on that i guess okay all right but now you don't see it that way if a piece came off of a plastic toy you don't see it that way to you it is no big deal well from god's perspective so many things that people get so upset about and worry about and fret about to him is like you know the the part coming off the plastic toy so can you see what he said your life is more than food and your body's more than clothes he's saying if you're worrying about clothes and food you're not thinking right if your father is the one who created the planet food shouldn't be a big deal and he goes on to describe if your father is the one who clothes the hillsides and the mountains and then he could probably find something for you to put on amen right yes keep keep going verse 26 the look at the behold the files of the air they don't sow they don't reap they don't save and gather into barns yet your heavenly father feeds them are you know not much better than they and so we spent a whole evening talking about looking at the birds is that right considering the lilies birds are eating everywhere around the planet by the billions is that right eating eating birds or eating everywhere you probably if you'd paid attention would have seen some birds eating somewhere today right what's the message if the birds eat i'm gonna eat no reason for me to worry about it because those birds are not worrying about it now this is not just some abstract thing this is what jesus told us to think about and he told us this is how we're to see it verse 27. which of you by taking thought anxious thought can add one cubit to his stature this is another thing why do people worry when they know it's not good one is priorities not understanding what's important what's not another is pride pride and fear they go together what do you mean thinking you can fix something that's way too big for you to even begin to make any difference with and being too fearful to give it to somebody who can fix it amen and just persisting in this idea of well if you want it done right you got to do it yourself and so holding on to it even though there is no hope of you fixing this that's why many people are worrying worrying worrying about things there's no way they can fix what do you do if you really care about it how can you keep from worrying you get in faith you cast the care of it over on the lord you give it to somebody who can do something about it and you trust him to do something about it and you sleep and rest it's possible do you believe in saints verse 28 why take your thought for raymond clothes consider the lilies now notice he keeps saying consider consider the birds consider the lilies this is a third big reason why people many christians even though they know worries bad they continue to worry one is priorities the other is pride and fear this one is passivity passivity most of the church has not discovered that you don't have to think on every thought that comes to you that you can put your pull your focus off of the thing that is disturbing you and distressing you and put it on something else and keep it there most of the church either hasn't heard this or they don't believe it it has been far too easy for the enemy to just destroy people with fear and anxiety and worry all he has to do in most cases is just bring some fearful thoughts and feelings and people will just take them and think them and think them and talk them and think them and stew in them until all their peace is gone all their joy is gone all their strength is gone he's playing us has been somebody say no more no more no more if he says consider the lilies instead of what instead of considering how bad i need clothes how much they cost how i just lost my job huh how the kids shoes are not looking good see you consider that you're going to worry you're not going to be able to escape it you consider the lack the need the high price your other problems you're considering the wrong thing and you're just being passive and thinking on whatever thoughts and feelings the enemy brought to you just sitting there soaking in it stewing in it you'll be full of fear but the bible said thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusts in thee you can do it you can reach up and go click change your channel do you believe it or not you can you can make you can get a hold of your mind and you can focus it on something else and the most effective way to do that is right under your nose it's your mouth when you start talking about something else it imposes those thoughts on your mind don't try to wage a silent mental battle wrong thought right thought wrong thought right [Music] open your mouth do you doubt it we've done this little exercise a little bear repetition we've got a number of people that maybe hadn't seen or heard this before i want to do an exercise with you will you do it easy you can do it you can try let me put it like that uh i want you to count when i say start count from 1 to 25 mentally in your mind you'll be going one two three four but silently mentally and i'm going to lead you in a confession in the middle of that but don't stop counting don't lose your place are you ready to start now when you hear me say something you say what i say say it like i say it but don't stop counting internally mentally silently are you ready yes begin counting mentally silently 1-25 now jesus is lord don't stop counting he always gives me the victory give me the victory what number are you on huh what happened this is a wonderful revelation wonderful revelation instead of just sitting mentally wrestling with wrong thoughts and wrong feelings god gave us one of the most most powerful weapons begin to affirm and say with your mouth what you should be thinking on and saying it superimposes that thought on your mind and everything else has to has to pause while you do it now if you stop the thought may come back so if you're smart what will you do crank it up again make your mouth do its duty jesus is said to be the the high priest of our confession he works with what we say so important we're going to see more of this perhaps later but uh being passive and not doing this is one of the biggest reasons why people who know better than to worry keep on worrying anyway because thoughts and feelings will come to you i don't care who you are wrong thoughts wrong of fear of lack if you care about something care about somebody and some bad things are going on you can't just do nothing it will affect you it'll hit you you'll worry you'll fear unless you make the choice to say something else and focus on something else and believe something else when jesus said consider the lilies is he telling us it's within our power what we focus on when jesus said look at the birds consider the birds consider the lilies is he telling us it's within our power what we focus on what we think on what we talk about then it's our choice whether we're in fear or faith because it's our choice what we've decided to look at and think about that's why again the scripture says isaiah 26 3 thou will keep him in perfect peace not who just begs and asks for help night and day him who him or her who keeps his mind stayed on thee because he trusts in thee and roman says to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace i know i was ministering to a lady some years ago who had been in and out of mental institutions for years and was just in bad bad shape and i was endeavoring to help her and the lord prompted me to go take her to joshua one where he told him this book of the law will not depart out of your mouth but you'll meditate in it night and day that you may observe to do according to all that's written therein for then you'll make your way prosperous then you'll have good success and i began to talk to her about that she interrupted me she said you can't think on the bible and and those things night and day but now let's just analyze this did the lord tell us to do it or not would he have known if we could do it or not so who's right who's wrong and i didn't realize it but when she said that the lord gave me the answer came right up in me i said dear it's not a matter if you can think on something night and day you're already thinking on something night and day and it's obvious it's the wrong thing right because you keep having to go in the mental institution that will keep him how many believe the bible isaiah 26 3 thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee can you keep your mind stayed on him instead of something else yes sir it's possible amen you can and notice again in that passage in joshua the first thing he mentioned wasn't meditate put it up on the screen for us please what joshua 1 8 is that it joshua 1 8 he said this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth but you shall meditate there in day and night which came first mouth or meditate mouth why because of what we just demonstrated this is the most powerful tool you have to imposing the right thing on your mind when it's a struggle to keep the wrong thing off that's worth you coming out tonight i'm telling you this the truth will make you free if you'll do it if you put it into practice go back to matthew 6 let's finish reading that he in verse 29 he said i say to you that solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these wherefore if god so clothed the grass of the field which today is and the is cast into the oven shall he not much more clothe you o ye of little faith the less faith you have the more you worry amen the more faith you have the less you worry amen period verse 31 therefore take no thought say it out loud take no thought now this is talking about anxious fearful thought a lot of other translations actually say anxious don't take any anxious fearful worried thought look at your neighbor help them out say don't take it don't tell don't take what i know this is not good english but but but respond and say i ain't going to take it i see you like saying that you don't have any problem saying that i ain't going to take it we're we're not going to take it take what a thought of worry and fear do most people do this do what jesus said no no most people don't even start to do this but should we take him seriously should we believe we can do differently than most of the world is it possible to have peace that passes understanding keeping your heart and your mind even in the midst of bad situations is it possible yes it is it is it is he's the god of peace take no thought saying there's that mouth again right here's the difference instead of saying what are we going to eat i want you to hear not just the sentence i want you to hear the tone i want you to hear the spirit of that that's an unbelieving phrase tone what are we going to eat where is it going to come from where are we going to get the money for the kids clothes now here's something you'll see people who are yielding to fear try to put fear in others they try to share it people who are yielding to wrong pressure will turn around and try to pressure you sometimes they'll look at you what are you going to do will you be what am i going to do i've had people tell me that well you're a preacher y'all have a church what are you going to do about this who said i should do anything about it i tell you what you should do right get in faith what does that mean faith puts no pressure on people period this is a source of all kind of marriage problems wives putting pressure on their husbands husbands putting pressure on their wives what are you going to do about this you got to fix this you got to make this happen you got to do this that is ungodly that is faithless it's not love it's wrong it's totally unchristian when you get in faith you look to god that's right you put said out like no pressure no pressure on people period what are we going to need come on help me out do you hear the tone of that do you hear the tenor of that do you hear the spirit of that well what are we going to do i know why you're laughing you've heard this before well where is it going to come from how are we going to get through this there is an answer but you're nowhere near it right now you're not giving god anything to work with you're acting like an unbeliever acting like an unsaved person instead of saying that what are we going to eat how are we going to get this where's it going to come from instead of saying that could you say something else yes could you say something else yes yeah you can say god feeds the birds is that right he's going to feed me god covers the hillside with beautiful flowers and grass he's going to cover me with some good clothes you could talk faith you could change the channel off of this fear and worry and unbelief and you could say my god supplies all my needs according to his riches in glory by christ jesus he'll feed me all my life long i won't do without you could give god some words he can work with and give the devil nothing amen he can work with give him no place because when you start hyperventilating and hollering about what in the world are we going to do and actually people christians start using the lord's name in vain oh my god oh my god oh my god that is using the lord's name in vain what do you mean brother keep if you're not talking to god or about god specifically you should not use the word amen amen yes sir this omg is a bad thing now with me or not this is a bad thing it's completely disrespectful of god you should if you use the term god you should be talking to him or about him right otherwise you're using it uselessly that's what in vain means so no i mean people think that's religious and i guess maybe it is man's religion nothing to do with god what are we going to drink what are we going to eat what are you going to do come on help me out help me answer me answer me what are we going to do we don't have money for this do you know how much it's cost do you know how much this is now it's gone up what are we going to do what are we what are we going to do what are we going to do huh help me out what could we do we could obey jesus we could do what he said and not take these anxious thoughts and not say these unbelieving fearful things it honors god when we trust him amen when we're under pressure when it feels under the gun but we look up and say he's taken care of us all our life long he will take care of us this time it will be fine you watch and see it'll be better than okay we're not just going to scrape by we're not just going to survive we're going to thrive you watch and see we're going to come out of this shining yes hallelujah the lord will get glory yes out of how he works this uh he's not trying to figure it out he already knows right and that should give you comfort that he already knows philippians 4 go there please philippi or you don't have to go there they'll put it on the screen philippians 4 6 says be careful for what full of care full of anxiety for nothing put the amplified up there please amplified translation do not fret or have any anxiety about anything is that true is it possible yes four people think it could be possible said out loud do not fret or have any anxiety about anything that's not a period next you can't just not worry and that be the end of it you've got to replace worry with something else in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving continue to make your wants known to god no worry but lots of thanksgiving amen instead of saying what are we going to eat what are we going to do what are we going to get you're saying thank you lord for taking care of us thank you lord for feeding us thank you lord somebody say thank you lord thank you lord thank you where are we going to get it where are we going to get it hush that quit you're you're blocking your blessing amen you're getting in the way uh no say it's coming it's coming we'll have more than enough we'll pay every do you see why we make these confessions at offering time we'll have more than enough we'll have plenty thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord verse 7 and the peace of god you can go back to the king james which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds through christ jesus verse 8 finally brethren whatever things are true whatever things are honest whatever things are just whatever things are pure whatever things are lovely whatever things are of good report if there be any virtue if there be any praise think on these think does it matter what you think of them can you control what you think on here's a list of what you're supposed to think on if it's not on the list it shouldn't get in huh i had a fellow one time telling me he said i got this brother keith i mean every mind needs a bouncer at the door [Laughter] well he's describing his his past and experience but he's right he's right here's here's who's on the list what are you there true thoughts are you true thought come to you you should look through the people and go who are you where you come from are you true then sorry you don't get in you're not on the list honest just is it a pure thought you won't look pure to me no get out of here get out of here here's what lovely is that a lovely thought that's enough to not let it in right is it a good report oh no you bad report you got to stay out too nope nope you don't get in if there's any virtue and if it's praiseworthy think on these things it'll change your life if you'll do this absolutely change your life if you do this those things which you both learned and received and heard and seen in me do and the god of peace shall be with you oh somebody say thank you lord first peter 5 6-7 you don't have to turn there first peter 5 6-7 said humble yourself unto the mighty hand of god that he may exalt you in due time casting all your care talk about anxious care upon him for he cares lovingly for you when something becomes an anxious care to you you need to get rid of it and you can tell that it's not something you should have by what it's doing to you it's vexing you it's wearing you down it's draining you you need to get it off of you you need to cast it give it to somebody who can do something about it cast is a strong word we'd say throw throw it off throw it off i had the privilege of working under brother kenneth e hagin senior for 20 years and he practiced this casting his cares on the lord somebody came one day and they had have a big campus there of buildings and takes millions of dollars you know i guess every month to run them and all that somebody said man you must he he was walking across the campus when they said man you must carry a heavy load he said oh no nope i just run try to keep up with the lord amen this is his it's his responsibility back when uh he was traveling road ministry uh his his wife miss aretha was getting perturbed with him because he didn't act as concerned about some things and she thought maybe he should she i'm quoting her now she said later on she learned how to cast her cares over on the lord but in the early days she wasn't doing so good and and they they had quite a discussion in the car about some things and they got to the front door in the front on the porch and and he was fumbling to get the key to get in and and she said i don't think you'd worry if me and both kids just fell dead right here on the porch he said well why would i worry then you're already gone i didn't bless her didn't bless her be because people think worry equals love if you love a people you're going to worry if you don't worry you don't love the opposite is true if you genuinely love people you want to do something that will help them worry will not help them ever worry has never paid a bill worry has never healed a body amen worry has never helped a child never so if you really care about them why would you just do something that you know is not going to help them in one way amen why wouldn't you do something that can help them get in faith about it but you can't worry and be in faith you can't be full of fear and full of faith but thank god according to jesus you can consider the lilies right and you can say the right thing you can focus on him somebody say yes i can yes i can go go with me to uh ii corinthians please ii corinthians 7 4. i want you to notice something here second corinthians 7 4 he said the spirit of god through paul said great is my boldness of speech towards you great is my glorying of you i'm filled with comfort i'm exceeding joyful in all our tribulation now let's just stop right there tribulation another word for that is trouble and you'll find other words connected with this distress and other things include the idea of pressure in trouble in tribulation in pressure paul's saying he's filled with comfort and he's exceeding joyful is that possible what do you think is the bible true is he lying about this no sir well this is the spirit of god speaking through himself has to be accurate is it possible to be filled with comfort in the most trying of circumstances is it possible to have exceeding joy in serious tribulation and trouble many people don't think so they don't believe it's possible they'll cry and get mad at you and say i can't help it if you're going through what i'm going through you'd be a basket case too i can't help not being able to sleep i can't help no not uh you know not worrying i can't help it well either what the lord said is true let's just stay with that what he said it's true it's possible come on say it out loud it's possible in the middle of trouble to be full of comfort and exceeding joyful this is a very good thing because the peace of god keeps your heart and mind keeps you from becoming unstable keeps you protects you the joy of the lord is your strength with enough of his strength you can make it through anything let's keep going i'm exceeding joyful in all our tribulation for when we were come into macedonia our flesh had no rest we were troubled on every side now we already know in the middle of it he had peace and joy he just got through saying he did without everybody say without were fightings within were fears said that without within without and within verse 6 he went on to say nevertheless god that comforts those that are cast down comforted us by the coming of titus you know one of the big ways god bless and ministers to you is through other people amen amen it's him but it's coming through them the whis translation says i was having pressure brought to bear upon me from every side on the outside contentions within fears the amplified said i had no ease or rest but we were oppressed in every way and afflicted every turn fighting in contentions without dread and fears within now there are things that can push against you and pressure you from the outside a lot of things and you don't have control over many of those the outside pressures there's a few of those you can change and control but most of the outside pressures you are not in control of you are in control of your response to them you don't control everything going around you necessarily a lot of things you don't but you you should be we can be in complete control of our response to them just because it's bad doesn't mean i have to come apart just because it's a big thing that's needed or a terrible thing that's happened i got a choice to make what am i going to think about what am i going to talk about i know some years ago there was a trauma that happened the situation i was close to and it really bothered me and for a couple of days it really disturbed me really bothered me and the lord i sat down at my desk and the lord quickened to me he showed me two paths and you brought to my remembrance romans 8 to be carnally minded is death to be spiritually minded is life and peace he showed me if you think about what you're thinking about now and you keep thinking about it and you keep asking those questions you keep pondering that thing he said down that path is nothing but pain nothing but pain nothing but heartache and when you get through crying and you get through being upset and you get through asking a thousand questions it'll still be the same it won't change one thing you will have just hurt and gone through pain for nothing he said here's another path if you keep your mind on me focus on me on what i said say what i said he said there's peace and there's life do we have a choice which path we take yes oh the devil doesn't want you to know this but too late you heard it is that right somebody say i know it i heard it it's my choice my choice to be carnally minded as death to be spiritually minded as life and peace look look with me in second corinthians 11. and verse 23 now there are pressures that come from without you're not in control of all that but the worst things are the internal pressures that's the worst the the fears the anxiety the angst the regret the the shame the the pressure within is actually torment and it's actually a taste of hell it's not as bad as the whole thing but it's a taste did you know you can have tastes of heaven amen even days of heaven on the earth doesn't mean everything is like heaven but you can also taste hell on earth i know people use that phrase but it's actually accurate sometimes people do experience a little bit of hell and this internal pressure i mean people lose their minds over the the pressure the anxiety the angst the shame the regret the on and on and on because they won't take their mind off of the thing that's doing it to them they just keep thinking and re letting the enemy replay replay replay and just keep saying the same terrible stuff you do that you do that it's going to get worse and worse and worse and worse you will not get free but it's possible amen huh to look another direction amen consider the lilies amen consider the birds instead of thinking about how bad you messed up think about how powerful the blood is oh somebody say thank you lord instead of thinking about how you came short think about the righteousness of christ that's been given to you hallelujah you've been made you didn't earn it but you've been made holy by what he did amen think about that that'll bless you think about the fact that your name is written in the lamb's book of life they're working on your mansion tonight think about you the bible said you are a citizen of heaven you think about the wrong thing it brings you down think about a good thing lift you up praise god amen are you there ii corinthians 11 28 again this is paul spirit of god through he said beside those things now he went through a list of a lot of stuff that happened to him he said beside those things that are without do you hear that phrase without that which comes on me daily the care of all the churches did paul worry a lot huh here's a real revelation he's the one that penned philippians 4. be careful for nothing he's one pennant well how do you reconcile that it's not so hard he didn't say he let it stay on him he said it would come to him and it would come on him what do we know from peter what to do with it cast it off don't let it sit on you throw it off amen you don't have to have some big spiritual revelation to know is something you need to throw off by looking at what it's doing to you right is it tormenting you is it vexing you has it stolen your joy has it stolen your peace then you have let it sit on you way too long amen is that right yes get it off of you throw it off of you well what if it comes back he said he said that tries to come on me daily well what did he do he must have threw it off is that right daily because the spirit of god and and you know this is probably some insight into how he found this out right the care came on him he he didn't have the luxury of reading philippians right it hadn't been written yet and yet when when the care of all the churches and there was some knuckleheads in these churches causing problems and and riffs and all this kind of stuff and and uh you know everybody likes to think well let's let's do a big thing for god yeah a lot of people a lot of issues huh oh come on let's let's let's get more churches involved okay more issues but it's worth it i said it's worth it and any any trials or challenges are not even worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed beside the things that are without you know he was dealing with people trying to kill him he things without he was dealing with the government giving him problems he was dealing with jewish leaders giving him problems he was he was dealing with false brothers giving him problems but that wasn't a big deal the big one was the inside stuff see the outside stuff the inside the internal stuff because he cares about these churches yes the church at ephesus the church of corinth the church of philippi church at colossae all these churches that the lord used him to start he he genuinely cares when they're not doing good when there's a problem when people are being misled when people are leaving the church for the wrong reasons and all this stuff and he could if he had just let that stay on him had been full of care about all of them all the time but all that would do is chew him up and he wouldn't be in faith he's the one who penned casting all your care on him what peter said that but he said be careful for nothing well how much is nothing so it'll come if it came to paul it'll come to you what are you going to do help me out i'm going to throw it off i'm going to throw it off and when you do you'll experience some peace keeping your mind on the right thing i wish i could tell you that was the end you you're done you're through the devil is a persistent cuss he will bring it back and he'll bring it back and he'll bring it back and he'll bring it back so if you're smart like i'm looking at you and think you are you're smart what will you do you will not let it sit on you you will cast it off somebody say thank you lord look with me in first peter please first peter 3. first peter 3 and 8. first peter 3 8 says finally be all of one mind having compassion one of another love as brethren be pitiful let's not like we think full of pity for others not pitiful like we think be courteous well that's a big one courteous not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing but contrary wise blessing knowing that you are there unto called that you should inherit a blessing if people cuss you should you cuss them back only if you want to reap a harvest of cussing right if people cuss you what do you want to reap out of this deal i mean whatever's happening here is probably over pretty quick but what about tomorrow next week next month you want to reap blessing the only way to reap blessing is so blessing you can't sow cursing and reap blessing right and so whether they like it or not if they want to curse you you can bless them people say i hate you well i love you you know one of the great things about love ain't no defense against it [Laughter] people can't stop you from loving them they can't do anything about it verse 10 for he that will love life and see good days we're going to read psalms account of this a little bit but it talks about uh many days this is talking about longevity long life and a good life he that will love life and see good days and like we said psalm says many of them let him do what two big things let him retr refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile that's the first one guess what it is it's your mouth do you want to live a long time do you want things to go good for you yes sir then watch your mouth watch your mouth what are you saying what are you saying about your future i uh i saw i saw a thing on the news a while back and and some individuals were killed in what people would call a freak accident and they weren't very old and uh some people a lot of times wondering you know why in the world did that happen and before the report was over they said that person had said all their life that that was going to happen well see they didn't they didn't believe in the power of their words and yet they're saying it right they're saying it it matters what you say amen and don't you think i mean you know you heard the phrase of what you say can and will be used against you and of course well in in in the spiritual things the enemy is is watching you he's listening he's trying to find something he can use to get access to you and maybe the first 20 times you said it or the first two years you said it you didn't really mean it you didn't really believe it but you keep on saying it it'll get in you amen and you you say it and believe it and keep saying it and believe it the scripture said you'll have what you say that's good or bad amen what you ought to say anybody ready for this yes sir all right yes with long life he'll satisfy me show me his salvation people like to say well man you know i i live a you know active life and i i'd rather burn out than to rust out you know you know i uh die young and leave a pretty corpse stupid it's stupid to talk like this as somebody who has no clue how spiritual things work there are times the enemy will bring thoughts of fear to you if you especially if you see something happen close to you or to people you care about or a neighbor or a co-worker the enemy will try to put fear in you that that could happen to you and there are times when that fear comes or even if you're seeing something on the news or whatever that fear that thought comes to you that might happen to you that could happen to you you need to speak up and you need to say no this will not happen to me god keeps me he protects me we hope it don't happen but you just you just never know that's not scripture amen that's not faith have you read the 91st song where he talks about a thousand of fall at this side ten thousand will fall over here but it won't come near me anyway it won't touch me would it be all right to quote the scripture would it be the night surely you got nothing against the 91st psalm even if you don't like me you got to like the 91st song amen so just quote verbatim the nunny first song amen come on let's do it right now a thousand may fall at one side ten thousand at the other side it won't come near me it won't touch me no plague will come near my dwelling hallelujah he that will love life and see good days what do you do two big things you'll see here one is watch your words pay attention to what's coming out of your mouth and if it's not what you want or what you should have change it secondly verse 11 let him eschew evil and do good let him seek peace and ensue it or pursue it pursue what well that's what we've been talking about all night peace you're not going to make it the long life tied up in knots all the time worried all the time scared all the time upset all the time i uh had the privilege of working brother hagin's ministry like i mentioned earlier at his healing school actually and during those days i began to get interested in the topic of longevity living long and i actually kept files and scraps of where i saw people live way past 100 and this and that and looking for why and how and the most important thing to me is the word not the natural and the scripture reveals this for instance it said eschew evil and do good one of the big reasons why is because there is no peace to the wicked you live wrong you won't have peace that'll keep you from living long listen to the psalms it's in the psalms what is psalm 60 something i think it is anyway it says ah psalm 55 thank you lord psalm 55 22-23 psalm 55 22-23 cast your burden on the lord he'll sustain you he'll never suffer the righteous to be moved verse 23 but thou god shall bring them down to the pit of destruction bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days but i will trust in you don't forget the previous verse casting it over on the lord you can't stay upset about something all the time and make it your full length of life you can't fight and stay in strife all the time and make it your full length of days down here it'll age you prematurely it'll cause you problems that'll wear you down and make you vulnerable and susceptible to things that otherwise your immune system or whatever else would have taken care of it's not just my idea we're reading scriptures peace includes healing there's healing in peace amen is it possible yes sir to have peace in the morning when you get up yes huh have peace on the job does that mean everything has to be perfect at the workplace outside for you to have peace inside no is it possible to have peace at home is it possible to have peace to husbands and wives have to fight all the time the kids have to be rebellious does there have to be turmoil and strife in the house all the time or half the time or a lot of the time we're believers we can have the peace that passes understanding and things are not going to all be perfect outwardly but we don't just live out here you don't just live in florida or missouri or branson or bradenton i said yeah i do no you live in here you live in your mind and your heart and it's possible to have a party in here when things are coming apart out here i know most people don't do it but it's possible it's possible to have peace that passes understanding when there's strife out here amen it's possible i'm not in control of everything out here some things i am but not everything coursed in everybody but i am in control of what i look at and what i think about what i listen to what i talk about i am in control of my response and my focus and if i will watch my mouth and stay in his peace i'll keep clicking year after year after year after year after year and things that come up i'll overcome them challenges and trials i'll get through them amen huh something hits my body i'll get healed something hits my relationship we'll overcome it well if you can just relax and trust god and not give up and quit and give him some time and trust him he'll get you through it every time every time he'll get you through it can he get you through it every time yes does he want to get you through it every time i i read this one time and it's a it's a good example of this the guy said have you ever been to the zoo and have you ever noticed the lion and the crocodile he said huh yeah the lion and the crocodile a lot of times you look at the lion he's doing this then you go look at the crocodile he's doing this you may be so still you think he's a log laying out there it may be like that for hours yes huh and when the lions bones are bleached and and maybe powder depending on where they died crocodile is still around still around there's a principle yes sir i understand you can't race your motor all the time you can't be pegging the rpm banging the rev limiter all the time years ago i got a high performance boat i'd wanted one for years i got one and of course to go fast in the boat you had to push them way up you got to push your rpm right up there it had a big block pair of big block chevys in it 502s and they had home 5500 rpm which is a good bit for average big blocks especially back then that was years ago and so i'm i asked the guy one of the guys that knew about it i said so uh what you know how what kind of life expectancy you know you expect if you really push him that hard he said well how many times can you blow up a balloon before it pops he said i don't know do you it depends on how big you blow it up right right it depends on how long you leave it blown up bit right yes sir what's he saying well you're that way how many times can you map the accelerator and be stressed to your wits in how many times can you do that worry and fear and and not sleep and and your stomach's all messed up and your head's all messed up and your immune system's messed up and on and on your nerves are messed up how many times can you do that until you break something something pops one of the big reasons god commands us he didn't tell us to try to do this he said don't do it don't don't take anxious thought be careful for nothing cast all your care over on me one of the big reasons he told us to do this we are not designed to handle it we can't handle worry and fear and stress it will aid you prematurely it'll break down your internal biological defenses it will mess up the synapses in your brain your nervous system on and on and on we're not designed to live stressed out and scared and worried what most people don't realize that's a choice now they'd argue with you they'd cry be upset maybe cuss you if you said you're choosing this and i'm not telling you to go tell somebody they're choosing what you need to do is choose the right thing for yourself and be a good example of it amen give somebody something to see that's different from that but if we're going let's read it again first peter 3 are you are you there first peter 3 verse 10 310 he that will love life and see good days in fact i tell you put up psalm 34. i told you i'd read that psalm 34 4 because he uh peter is quoting this from the psalms psalm 34 4 i sought the lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears oh somebody say thank you lord thank you lord so they looked to him and were lightened and their faces were not ashamed this poor man cried and the lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles what kind of troubles did the poor man have money troubles he's poor can god save you out of money problems troubles verse 11 come you children hearken to me i will teach you the fear the reverence of the lord what man is he that desires life and loves many days that he may see good now this is god asking you who wants to live a long time and have a good life god's asking who wants to have a good life and live a long time what should we say i do i do put me down for that good life and live in a long time put me down put me down well he tells you verse 13 we have a pardon it's not all up to god we have a part keep your tongue from evil now you know when the uh first generation of israelites that were delivered out of egyptian bondage cried in their tents and said we can't take the land the lord said they brought up an evil report so evil covers more things than people think basically it's disagreeing with god and keep your lips from speaking guile now guile has to do with dishonesty deceit lying gets in the way of living long verse 14 depart from evil do good seek peace everybody say seek peace and pursue it we should always be looking for the peace and if we start losing peace we should go whoa whoa whoa what's going on what's going on should i even be here should i be doing this well we got to change something because we've got to keep our peace right got to keep our peace if we're with god he's peace and he's not the author of confusion or any of that verse 15. the eyes of the lord are upon the righteous his ears are open to their cry keep going the face of the lord's against them that do evil to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth the righteous cry and the lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles that's why you don't have to worry the lord is near to them that are a broken heart and saved such as me of contrite spirit many are the afflictions of the righteous this life is not heaven i've actually heard some people try to say well you know there is no heaven there is no hell this is heaven no it ain't it ain't close this this ain't heaven no sir no ma'am what you will experience down here because of the curse and wrong spirits and messed up people there's a lot of strife a lot of problems a lot of afflictions but the lord delivers him out of them all verse 22 said the lord remembers the soul of his servants and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate oh somebody said glory to god glory to god now friend you live a hundred years plus down here it's nothing i mean it comes and goes like a flash to god a hundred years is nothing to him thousand years is like a day don't get to talking about i've been doing this for 20 years like that's a long time it's nothing it's nothing nothing you do not want to leave here young and early and wrong and miss out on half of what you were made to do and should do life is short as it is suicide is deception it is such a lie that the devil con convinces people things are so terrible that's the only solution is to kill yourself such a lie you'll be out of here really soon anyway there's a reason why you're here amen find out give god a chance to fix it for you amen don't take it out of his hands don't destroy if you're a christian your body's not your own amen to put a bullet through your head just because you decided to it's his he bought and paid for it ask him if he wants a bullet in it and i'll he'll tell you no huh ask him yes sir and if you'll let him he'll show you and if you'll get busy doing what you're supposed to do you'll have such satisfaction like you've never had get in with the right people get your faith buddies right people that love god doing something for the lord to help build the church help preach the gospel help reach people help get people saved back to god healed filled and thrilled huh yes sir it'll make you happy yes it will be it'll give you peace you'll get busy doing that next thing you know you'll look up and you'll go i'm leaving today i'm breathing my last preferably preferably you'll be so old the old people call you old because it's your right with long life did you hear that word satisfied satisfied because you've already been walking in peace and contentment and so you didn't leave until you got satisfied amen and it's not up to the devil one of his stinking diseases or one of his stupid accidents or crime or anything else that's what some 91 is describing the error didn't get you the disease didn't get you come on have you read that the plague didn't get you all that stuff didn't get you and by the end of it you're old oh huh look in the dictionary by old and there's your picture right there oh oh old full of days full of experience in god full of fruit going to be full of reward on the other side can you say amen but you can't let the devil trick you and worry night and day be mad if you let him you'll be mad and upset and hurt about something all the time have you noticed yes if you'll do it there's something to get upset about get heard about get mad about worry about fear about there'll always be something outside but you have control of inside and the lord said peace i give you my peace not as the world gives don't let your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid does this describe complete control of what's happening inside me i can't control everybody can't control everything they do can't control all the stuff in the world around about me but i can control what i look at what i think about what i talk about i can control whether i let my heart get troubled and full of fear or not i can control that because the greater one in me helps me to do so can you say amen amen stand on your feet everybody praise be to god praise be to god thank you father thank you father let's lift up our hands let's lift up our voices hallelujah oh thank you father somebody say thank you father thank you father thank you father thank you father thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you say it out loud i cast i throw all my cares all anxieties all worries all fears over on the lord hallelujah
