Keith Moore Sustained Pt.1 Kept By His Power

turn with me please in the scriptures to the book of psalms the 55th psalm and then we'll go over to the book of genesis i believe and i'd ask you to believe with me this evening for utterance we believe the lord is here his spirit's here let's focus on him not me focusing on you not you focusing on me let's focus on him and let him speak to us and let him minister to us do you believe the lord could say something to you that it just changed your life he could speak something to you that would answer something maybe that's been uh perplexing you or hindering you for a long time he could just say it and you see it and know it make the adjustment that's it do you believe that absolutely the lord's not trying to figure this out for us he already knows right he's not looking for the answer he is the answer and if we'll listen to him he'll show it to us too let's uh we're going to psalm 55 let's pray before we read the scripture father in jesus name we're agreeing coming together in heart and faith touching this asking you for utterance for the anointing for your anointing on our minds and our hearts our eyes and ears that we might see hear and know and perceive and understand and receive revelation light truth a supply of the spirit exactly what you'd have us to see and know exactly what we need right now and that you'd show us what's to come next and the next steps into your plan for our life in any area that we've thought wrong in any area that we've been deceived we ask for light and thank you for unveiling and re rev uncovering the ploys and works of the enemy and we confess that we'll know the truth and we'll be doers of the truth and the truth will make us free and we'll give you the glory in jesus name amen amen somebody say i'm a doer i'm a doer i'm a doer of the word of god hallelujah in psalm 55 did you get there well you beat me i was talking i just happened to have it written down here though so psalm 55 and i believe about verse 22. psalm 55 22 says cast your burden upon the lord and he shall sustain you he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved read that out loud cast your burden upon the lord is that what you're supposed to do with things that would burden you down what are you supposed to do with them huh um one of the my father in the faith uh brother kenneth hagin said some years ago that a lady came to and asked him said for prayer and he said what for and she said well i i want you to pray that the lord would carry about half these burdens i've got she said i think i can carry half of them but i can't carry all of them if he just take half of them he said well sister i can't pray that that's contrary to the scripture is it well now you laugh but a lot of people have the idea you know what is a burden something that weighs you down huh heaviness anybody ever experienced any heaviness something that troubled you something that bothered you so what are you supposed to do with that well you already know the answer you read the verse right there but if you hadn't read that verse in the last five minutes what do a lot of people think well pray and ask the lord to help you carry the burden huh that's not the same thing as casting it on him right now i think where some confusion may have come in uh jesus said take your yoke take my yoke rather upon you learn of me well there is a a yoke of service to the lord but now listen what he went on to say he said for my yoke is easy and my burden is light everybody say light and easy now that's how you can tell if it's the lord or not because if it's his yoke and his burden there's going to be the grace and the anointing and the help right but if it's just heavy and there's no grace it's just a burden and it's just heavy that's not something you're supposed to carry that's not something you're supposed to ask the lord to help you carry that's something we're supposed to throw off of us cast means throw it throw it off of us somebody say cast your burden on the lord you good at doing that huh momma said well i'm trying to quit trying and do it do it it's not a matter of whether you can or you can't it's a decision now all of us have been there trudging around heavy upset bothered but when we're doing it we're not listening to the lord because he told us what to do with that stuff did he tell us what to do with it anybody in here clear on what to do with it didn't the bible say in philippians be careful for nothing right first peter casting all your care over on him because he cares for you these are new testament verses right say it out loud put the verse back up please do what cast your burden on the lord and what will happen he shall sustain you we're not supposed to carry these things we're not supposed to carry them on our heart and on our mind and with us all the time now it's not hard to figure out you don't have to be around people very long to tell whether they're loaded up with care or not do you they won't have any joy they won't have any peace will they and folks well i just don't know what to do yeah if you'll accept the bible we know what to do what do we do what do we do we throw that off of us onto him everybody practice put your hands up here all right this load this burden was on top of you it was it was pushing you down it was making you sad it was making you cry huh so what do you do come on help me what do you do what do you do throw it off huh so well it fell back on top throw it throw it off again right throw it up what if it falls back on you 100 times during the day throw it off every time why if you say well but it's not fixed yet and i don't know what to do yet and so by you being depressed and crying that's how you're going to figure out what to do huh by you being sad and moping and raining on everybody's parade that's going to help fix everything no it's not but we have a word from the lord that if we would quit wallowing under the pressure of these burdens if we would throw them on him come on can you read the rest of this verse what would happen what did he say he shall sustain you somebody say he will sustain me say it again he will sustain me ah say it with some faith he will sustain me how are you going to make it through this thing he will sustain me how am i getting out of this how am i going to make it to the other side how am i going to get through all this stuff he will sustain me what am i going to do with all this burden and care and fear and worry i'm going to cast it on him i'm understanding if we dismissed he went home right now it'd have been worth you coming out is that right just getting stirred up about this because you know faith comes by hearing he said he'll never suffer the righteous to be moved those that trust in him like this and hold to him like this he always causes them to trial he always does always he's not going to start with you not sustaining he always has and he always will somebody say thank you lord hallelujah i think i just want to sit right here on this for just a moment you like this or not is this the word of the lord is it true so what are you going to do no no hands raised but has anybody been a little down over something don't raise your hand anybody been a little heavy over something a little felt some pressure felt some oh sure sure but there's there's the right way to deal with it and the wrong way to deal with it some people have you know been trained to worry from childhood their parents and grandparents were highly developed in fear and worry right and in fact it's uh it's just commonly even if it's not spoken it's assumed and understood that if you care you worry and if you don't worry you're not upset when there are problems or issues then you just don't even care and this is completely contrary to the scriptures it's completely contrary to what the lord told us to do and how to live but the problem is if you practice carrying cares and worrying and yielding to it for years and decades and 70 years huh you do it without thinking about it you do it without even thinking about it something will come to you something that's not good you'll hear it you'll see it it'll happen and immediately you'll go into care mode and you may try to put on a good face around some other people but in the back of your mind it's bothering you it's bothering you it's a weight it's a care it's a worry it's a heaviness but you're a strong individual huh so you're going to carry them you're going to tote your share of care hmm go to the new testament please first peter let's look at that scripture we referred to just a few moments ago do you think we need some mind renewal oh we do cares come to us all but that doesn't mean you have to let them stay on you paul said this he talked about the cares of all the churches that came on him daily but he's also the one that told us be careful for nothing right see that he had to learn this for himself what does that mean you can't prevent these feelings and thoughts from coming to you and when things happen that are not good not what you want the cares are going to come the thoughts the feelings but like brother hagin used to say also he used to say these things are like a bird flying over your head you can't prevent a bird from flying over your head but you can prevent him from building a nest in your hair right and you can't prevent a thought of worry or care or fear from coming to you they will come but what are you supposed to do when it comes huh it's a whole lot like a bird flying up and sitting on your shoulder kind of like uh edgar allan poes raven never more never more he ain't making it this time oh it's bad but it's bad it's bad it's bad this time whoa whoa whoa are you and if you listen to that very long if you let it stay what's going to happen next thing you know it's going to be coming out of your mouth it's bad where'd you get that who told you it's bad well let's look around should you not allow that to stay there can you resist it can you stand against it and and if you'll do it in faith does it have to leave yes that was a little weak but the answer is yes yes it does according to the scripture first peter 5 are you there first peter 5 and 7. it says casting hmm the part you can't handle now what oh a-l-l means what so how much of it are you going to continue to carry casting all your care upon him for he cares for you and we could say and doesn't want you doing carrying all that stuff he cares about you he won't let him have it verse 8 be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil is a roaring lion he's walking about seeking whom he may devour and the good news there is that he may not devour some folks right and he goes on to say what do you do verse 9 what do you do you resist steadfast in the faith knowing that the same things are going on with all our brothers and sisters throughout the world there's nothing unique happening in your life it's the same kind of thing happening in people's lives all over the world some are carrying the care and letting them weigh them down and wear them out a few know how to cast it off hmm is that you am i talking about you a few know how to cast that off and say no i'm not worrying about that i'm not taking that hm one fellow said it like this he said i don't worry about things i can do something about it because i can do something about it he said nor do i worry about things i can't do anything about because i can't do anything about it what good would it do if you can do something about it do it if you can't do anything about it give it to somebody who can right don't be fooled into carrying that care until it just chews you up and gives you migraines and ulcers and everything else and and hinders and hurts your uh relationships and your work and undermines how many understand you can't go around upset all the time without that without that affecting every area of your life it's going to affect every relationship it's going to affect your money your health everything and the enemy knows this and the lord cares about us which is why he told us don't do that throw it on me though we don't cast all your care over on me somebody say okay so the next time you feel it the next time you feel that coming light on your shoulder light on your your head light on your life that that heaviness that that upset anxious worry fear feeling tell me what you're going to do come on what are you going to do say no you don't no come on show me again put your hands up it's not physical but this will help you in your mind anyway what do you do you you throw it throw it off on the lord say no i'm not taking that i'm not taking that i'm casting all my care over on you lord lord here it is you've got i can't do anything with it but here it is you do something with it then what do you do be happy take a nap eat a popsicle smell a flower come on y'all with me while he works on it is that right while he works on what did he tell you he was going to do while you after you had cast your care over him he's going to sustain you go with me please to the book of genesis i believe it's the 28th chapter genesis 28. uh genesis 28 is the story of jacob now you know how that jacob had tricked his brother esau and got the blessing but really you know esau had sold it to him he didn't respect it but anyway esau is wanting to kill him now and so they sent him his father and mother sent him away uh out of the local country there to uh his relatives laban and his kin folks and so uh jacob is out there by himself and he has an experience where he sees the angels of god and the bible said after he saw this verse 19 genesis 28 19 he called the name of that place bethel but the name of that city was called loves at the first and jacob vowed a vow and he said if god will be with me and will keep me in the way that i go and will give me bread to eat and and raymond are closed to put on so that i come again to my father's house in peace then shall the lord be my god and this stone which i've set up for a pillar shall be god's house and of all that you give me i will surely give the tenth to you his father was a tither and before him a tither and he knew about tithing and he's making a commitment because at this point um you know in those days if you were a hundred miles away they'd probably never hear from you again right it just travel wasn't like it is now and and there were so many things that could have a lot of people just went on a 20-mile trip they were never heard from again it was you know maybe a lion got him a bear uh robert that's right robbers whatever you know and anyway he's out there by himself just a young guy he's got nothing he doesn't know anybody and so you know he had these feelings and thoughts coming on him he's out there camping by himself in the wilderness and he said god if you'll help me and help me get through this and help me come out on the other side and wind up back with my my family and my people he's talking about more than just a day or two here isn't he more than just a month or two or a year or two he said lord please do that for me and i'm going to commit to you as you keep me you're going to be my god and i'm going to tithe well let's look fast forward several years later to see what happened in what is it the 48th chapter i believe it is jump from 28 to 48. 48 and down in verse 15. jacob or israel is now old how many know when the bible calls you old you old he's old and uh he he's getting time soon for him to leave and he speaks blessing over all of his his uh kids and his eventually all of his kids and grandkids here and he blessed joseph and he said god before whom my father's this is 48 15 god before whom my fathers abraham and isaac did walk the god which fed me all my life long unto this day do you think he's thinking about that night he camped out there under the stars and didn't have any you know later on after uh oh what was it that 14 plus years of being over there with laban and laban uh you know jacob was tricky his name was a planner and he tricked his brother but thing about tricking people and sowing tricking is you get to reap tricking multiplied is that right and when he when he got hooked up in business with uncle laban uncle laban taught him things about tricking people that he never heard of he did and jacob just kept getting caught i guess he just wasn't reading the fine print or something but the bible said that laban changed the deal on him and changed his wages 10 times 10 times he got the better of the boy in the deal but you know in spite of all that god blessed him anyhow and when he left you know he told his brother esau when he met when he finally did come back home what is this a couple of decades later or so he said i crossed this this place here going with my stick that's all he had and he said now i've become two bands two groups he had herds he had flocks he had family he had a lot of helpers he was a wealthy man well did god keep him yes did god sustain him yes he did and here toward the end of his life he's saying god which fed me all my life long unto this day hallelujah and the angel which redeemed me from all evil bless the lads and let my name be named on them and the name of my fathers abraham and isaac and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth so he's speaking blessing over them now obviously god kept him god kept jacob and sustained him in more than one way he sustained him financially but he sustained him he mentioned from evil he could have perished a thousand times like we said i mean he could have died out there that night from some wild animal or he could have met some uh some evil people on the road that killed him or or you know a lot of a lot of folks in those days got sold into slavery and and all kind of thing but not only did he make it through that journey but he made it through laban's treatment and then he made it through esau's hatred come on are y'all listening and then he made it through every up and down cycle and through every famine and boom and bust he made it through every disease that swept through the country and every influenza or every other thing every plague is that is that right and here he is an old man biblically old and he says i want you to know god did it he sustained me he did it he kept me reckon is he still keeping his people they trust him is he still keeping us i became convinced as a young man i didn't say i was old now but there is something in between young and older as a young young guy i became convinced that if i'd hold on to the lord he would keep me and i saw it one day i got to shouting about it by myself in the speaker's room there at rhema where i used to work i i saw it and i thought i just i just stood up and said i'm going to make it. keith is going to make it what do you mean i'm going to make it why would you say that because i became convinced from what the lord was telling me through his word and by his spirit that he loved me that he loves me he knows me huh amidst all these billions of people on the planet he knows me and he knows you and he cares about me and he cares about you and if i will just hold on to him if i fall he'll pick me up if i fall 10 times he'll pick me up 10 times you believe that if i need help he'll send help whatever it is and if i will not quit him but hold on to him that means i'm going to make it through everything and run my race and finish my course i'm believing it for me you got to believe it for you and i'm going to i'm going to reach the end of what god called me to do i'm going to stick out my chest and hit the finish line i'm going to make it not because i'm so smart and perfect but because god loves me and he told me that if i'd hold on to him and cast all my burdens on him come on are you listening he would sustain me so i'm going to do it and i'm going to count on him doing it now one thing that would hinder you from doing that is you carrying the care how many believe carrying care will make you old before your time carrying anxiety and worry and fear will wear you out it'll overt one of the big reasons why the lord told us not do this is because he cares for us isn't that what he said in first peter we were not designed to handle it our systems won't handle it it's it's like caustic it's like acid to our nerves to our immune system to our digestive system to our life fear is caustic worry anxiety it'll just eat you up it'll chew you up it'll wear you out and i said well i can't help it that's a lie i said that's a lie how many don't believe the bible instead of what you feel and see and what other people are now you can live like the world and let it chew on you the rest of your life and hurt you and everything around you or there's another way i said there's another way it's a choice come on show me again what are you going to do when all this care and worry and fear comes on you and it's weighing you down and it's stealing your joy and it's stealing your peace come on what do you do you are no you're gonna you're gonna think about it huh and you're gonna talk to your friends about how bad it is and you're gonna you're gonna worry at least for a week huh what what show me show what cast all your cares over on him is that right and then what then what happens he will sustain me he sustained jacob he sustained moses he sustained david he sustained the widow woman is that right he sustained them in the wilderness he's been sustaining people from the beginning and when there was people and he's still sustaining all the peoples that will believe him and let him sustain them i want you to lift up a hand and say i am sustainable you are a sustainable resource i am sustainable now tell me what again your part you have to though cast your cares over on it and then let him sustain you jacob is telling about what what had happened how this worked in his life go with me please to the 91st psalm also known could be known as the sum of the sustained ones psalm 91 now you heard me talk about how i became convinced are you are you convinced or at least or maybe getting convinced huh are you going to make it what will the devil tell you he will tell you you're not going to make it you're not going to make it what what's that connected to care care you're not going to make it but if the lord sustains you you will make it yes yes are you going to make it or not yeah i don't know brother keith you all pray for me i sure hope so that's not going to cut it i'm sorry that's not going to cut it right you don't know how bad it is i'm talking about how bad it is if it's that bad you need some big help yes right yes if it's if it's that big of a deal then it has already gotten beyond you and beyond what you and your buddies can do yes so you need some big help yes right yeah how are you going to get the big help here's where religion has really gone off the rails you don't get the big help by begging for it that's right and by crying and being scared and feeling sorry for yourself and saying i'm not going to make it that is doing the opposite of what the lord told us to do that's not faith if you say i'm not going to make it and you believe it in your heart that you're not going to make it and you keep saying there's no way we're going to make it then spiritual principles revealed in the bible are working in your life to be sure that you don't make it yes you can't just ignore everything the lord has said no what have we got to do come on help me out what do we got to do i don't care how bad it is how hard it is how tough it is show me step one step one get that stuff off of me right here lord here here i'm not carrying this and then what else i'm expecting some sustaining power is that right to show up in my heart my mind my soul my body my finances my family is that right this should be ringing in our spirits tonight he will sustain me come on say it out loud he will sustain me one more time he will sustain me and i can tell some folks believe it because it makes you happy you're excited about it so i know you believe it hallelujah did he sustain jacob he said my whole life through god has fed me he kept me from evil he protected me will he do the same for anybody that'll believe him he's no respecter of persons he is a respecter of faith but he's no respecter of persons in psalm 91 are you there psalm 91 you ready to get happy yes psalm 91 1 he that dwells in the secret place of the most high how many think that's a happy place shall abide under the shadow of the almighty do you suppose there's any sustaining power under the umbrella of his presence oh yes there is keep going i will say of the lord now see faith says things doesn't it i will say see there when we talk about 91st psalm and god protecting and keeping sometimes all people want to talk about is god's part but god's faithful to do his part we have a part in this here's one of our parts i will do what i will say of the lord what are we saying he don't care about me huh i don't see how i'm going to make it no no no matter what it looks like no matter what it feels like you must say this he is my refuge he is my fortress he's my god in him will i trust and how many understand you're talking about i'm going to make it through he's my protection he's my safe place he sustains me keep going surely now now you've got to connect surely with verse 2. if you're saying that and believe in that surely he's going to deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence you might say what all what all is that it's bad stuff verse four he'll cover you with his feathers the picture is like a little chick under the mother hen's wings do you know who the little chick is beep beep that's you little chick how many think it'd be foolish for a fluffy little fuzzy yellow chick uh buzzing around going i can't fix the world i can't fix the world i can't fix it i can't fix it the world's too big it's too hard i can't fix it silly chick you should know this already quit worrying your little fuzzy yellow head and do what come on do what do what run huh no you best not be out there by yourself worrying and scared and running around you are in danger you better run and get under the wings hallelujah and in his truth will be your shield and your buckler keep on reading keep on reading you'll not be afraid for the terror by night nor for the arrow that flies by day now listen this is not just experience it's also a decision i refuse to fear i refuse to yield to this i refuse to fear nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday keep going a thousand will fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but what it shall not come near you now that is supernatural isn't it i don't care if we're talking about so-called natural disaster i don't care if it's some kind of plague some kind of disease that's sweeping the land or if it's some kind of crime wave whatever it is how many can see all of these are covered in this aren't they every one of these are covered what can the man or woman that is trusting in him casting the cares over on him refusing to fear and confessing god keeps me he's my refuge he's my protection what can they expect they can expect if thousands are perishing all around them when the dust clears they'll be standing there because the lord sustained kept them oh somebody say he keeps me he keeps me god is keeping me he's keeping me do you know why you're still here tonight huh how many be honest enough and know it's true if god hadn't kept you oh you'd have been out of here so many times so many times huh i mean all the stupid stuff you've done and then all the stuff you had no control over wasn't even aware of i mean list goes on and on and on but the lord and his holy angels has kept you come on he has kept you unto this present hour come on if he kept me to now if he kept me till now can he keep me the rest of the way can i why couldn't he keep me the rest of the way so that i make it all away he can and he will and see a part of him being able to do that is you believe in and saying that yeah yeah if you go wow you just never know you just never know you don't know if this is true or not i just never can tell what god's gonna do he's not gonna he's not gonna do what he said he would do no don't you listen to all that you need to be able to talk bold this will make religious people mad this verse right here in the bible makes religious people angry oh it don't make them angry if they read it but if you stand up and say it in the first person it makes them mad so you just sort of say it right now come on say it out loud if a thousand falls over here and ten thousand falls on the other side it won't touch me it won't happen to me hallelujah phyllis and i practice this all the time our staff practices uh i mean if we hear some see the enemy is always trying to put fear in you always and anytime something bad happens he wants that to be published so that people hear it and he can come and say that could happen to you well they were a good person too you don't think you're any better than they are do you i just you know it could happen to you and try to get that seed sown well i guess it could hope it don't yeah but it might there's a short step from it might to it probably will if he can get you to accept that it might he can work on you to get you believing it probably will phyllis and i have learned we practice it all the time just a few days ago some something came up and it was a bad thing that had happened in the church in the ministry and with without us even thinking we said at the same time that'll never happen to us that will not happen it's not because we think we're better or smarter that's not it our faith is not in us our faith's in him i'm not the one that wrote this i didn't make this up this is not something i came up with this is something he he gave us right if he gave it how many believe he gave it to us must be okay for us to say it believe it expect it if you're not going to believe the bible what are you going to believe you know me and mike was flying in from somewhere the other day we heard about a bad thing happened to an airplane immediately we you know what we say that'll never happen to us why that's never going to help us why because god's keeping us he's sustaining us right if he needs to he will get he'll get a hold of keith by the ear and go boy you better listen to me don't do that stop i've asked him to i've invited the holy spirit into my life i say arrest me get a hold of me i'm asking you to write arrest me shake me stop me in my tracks and go keith stop it turn and go another direction how many of that alone can save your life right there that that can ex put years add years to your ministry and life and everything else and all this is tied together but if you believe it's liable to happen to you and you don't know why you just yield to the fear and hold on to the cares and the fears that's uh you're not going to have the protection but if you'll do what this verse is talking about what this psalm is talking about come on sit out loud i dwell in this secret place of the most high under the shadow of the almighty he's my refuge he's my fortress he keeps me a thousand may perish on one side ten thousand on the other side but it won't touch me it won't happen to me why because god is my refuge cetera and he's he's protected he's sustaining me that's why and so when it didn't happen to me and it happened to all these other folks it's not time for me to start bragging acting like it was because i was a spiritual come on are you listening that's how you get in trouble no what's it time to do thank you lord how did y'all make you through that the lord sustained us is that right the thing is he'll sustain any of us if we'll trust him and do what he says oh hallelujah keep reading only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked because you've made the lord which is my refuge even the most high your habitation there shall no evil befall you neither shall any plague come near your dwelling come on say it out loud there shall no evil befall me now didn't jacob refer to this he said the angel of the lord kept him from evil all the days of his life god fed him sustained him and that angel protected him he said neither shall say it out loud neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling that includes west nile virus that includes what is it that foul flu that they're talking about asian bird flu whatever it is there's a lot of different variations swine flu this flu that flu the other and i know this is not nothing funny about it it's deadly stuff but but but what makes you any different it's not me we're talking about it's him amen if anything would make me any different it just may be me believing him is that right resisting the fear casting the cares and trusting what he said to sustain me that would be the difference and we need to see to it that that difference is ever-present say it out loud no evil will befall me neither shall any plague come near my dwelling now if that's going to happen it'll be because there was some kind of interference we're talking about divine interference with the normal progress of this god's always done it with his people he's never changed when he brought out the israelites out of egyptian bondage did anybody remember what happened on that deal the judgments came on egypt didn't it plagues swept through the land devastating swarms of flies and locusts and frogs don't you know that was a nasty plague phew they said they had frogs in the oven no thanks uh there was uh blood problems and there were hail storms and and it was all kind of stuff but in the land of goshen where god's people were you couldn't find the plague well now that'd be like driving down here to the missouri arkansas state line right there's no fence there's no physical barrier and yet you've got disease killing people on this side of the state line and everybody's healthy and fine over here on the other side of the state line even though it was not physical how many know there must have been a barrier there had to be some kind of protective barrier oh you know what long before there were any star trek shows huh or any other kind of sci-fi god had force fields huh god has always had force fields what do you mean where do you see a force field verse 1 first one he that dwells in the secret place of the most high what's sacred about it a number of things but one of the things is you can't see it you don't know where it come from how it got there what it is what it's made out of but it's still real of the most high shall abide what under the shadow of what is this nothing or is it something it's something it's got to be something keeping you from the plagues and the problems that he's mentioning in these following verses verse 4 verse 4 he'll do what cover you with his somebody say feathers god's got feathers there's probably a lot more here than we even know about but there are there is that that covers us and it's like a shield and a buckler a protection somebody say i have protection over me he covers me with his power verse 11 here's something else that's at work keeping us and protecting us in addition to this force field he shall give his angels charge over you to keep you to do what to keep you somebody say i'm a kept man or woman i'm a kept man you're a kept man or woman what does that mean god is keeping me he's keeping me i'm i got the force field over me i got the angels watching over me ready to assist and intervene is this fairy tale is this just speculation and imagination if god's real this is real and he is and so is it and we shouldn't be hard to convince because we've already come through a few things and missed a bunch of come on is that right we've all ready to get this far you know it's true have you ever had it in these moments yes that was close could have been a whole lot closer than you even knew phyllis and i oh what was this 20 years ago we were there in tulsa in the car going down there was this in the middle of town there there was this uh two or three lanes of traffic this way two or three lanes of traffic this way and a big median kind of a dirt mound built up with some little trees and stuff on it we're just driving down through there talking everything's fine all at once we see dirt flying up in the air and here comes this car up over the median and it's coming i mean as straight for us as it can come just to us we had no time to try to remember any scriptures we had no time to make any long prayers you know what we had time enough to say they didn't think about just jumped out of us jesus both of us but the great thing about it is we didn't say it in panic i was so pleased and blessed that how calm both of us were you know why because among other things we're not afraid to die you don't have to be afraid to die and i mean just i don't know i don't know at the time it happened so quick it was headed straight to us and just like that it went just turned 90 degrees and barely missed us dirt was all over the car but not a scratch not a touch i believe there was some intervention what do you think when i was 16. let's see am i thinking right i was 17. and a half i got a motorcycle the one i'd been wanting the fast one i'd been working saving my money working saving my i got it and you know what's the use of having a fast motorcycle uh-huh so i i was on this little country road by myself nobody out there i thought i'm gonna open this bad boy up and i did and it came on strong and i was smiling until i come into a curve and i was going away too fast for that curve and i did everything i could and it was too late and it was too much and i went off the side of the road and i went into the uh the dirt and the gravel and the thing starts doing this well usually that's it right i mean a bike does that here go usually next thing it goes over and then it starts flipping and tumbling it went whoa and i just thought oh god jesus and some way or another faster than you can wink your eyes it like somebody pull the back of it straighten it out boom popped it up on the road and i'm sitting there like what just happened i'm just going down the road normal and i looked back there and the dirt and stuff was still in the air settling down i thought oh lord and i'm and you know i'm a teenager and i'm you know god hadn't been my first focus i thought i'm going to church i believe there was some intervention anybody in here got a story like that come on i want to see you got a story or three stories or 10 or 20 come on i want to see a hand you got a story i know you do you know what happened god has given his angels charge over you and even something even when you weren't living right and knowing what to do he knew one day you would say yes he knew one day you'd be his and he gave his angels charge over you and out of his mercy he kept us he kept us now how many think it'd be better to not do stupid stuff don't don't tempt the lord don't do dumb things don't expose yourself to in you know that kind of thing don't do that i'm giving that as an example of what don't do but even in such a situation he gave his angels charge over us and they kept us in all our ways even on the side of the road that was part of our ways keep going what will they do they will bear you up in their hands you believe that are angels real do they have hands can they pick you up easily they pick you and your car up they pick you and your house up bear you up in their hands lest you dash your foot against the stone yes hallelujah that would be the lord sustaining you now as we get to the end of this psalm you see to what end to what purpose keep going you'll tread on the line the adder the young lion and dragon you'll trample undefeat because he set his love upon me therefore what will i or i will deliver him i will set him on high because he has known my name he'll call on me yeah we were hollering jesus in the car i was on the motorbike he'll call upon me and i'll answer him i will be with him in trouble how many can testify he's telling the truth he he was with me he was with me he was with you i will be with him in trouble now what will happen when he is with us in trouble i will deliver him and honor him keep reading with long life will i satisfy him and show him my salvation oh hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah what was our part in all of this we cast all our care on him we refuse to worry and fear is that right we resisted it we confessed and say the lord is my refuge he keeps me is that right we cooperated with him in our faith and holding on to him and what did he do this is a picture of what happened with jacob from the time he was a boy to the time he's an old man this is a picture of what's available to every child of god from the time you come into this world to the time you leave here read it again verse 16. let me let me read this to you from another translation actually what did he say with what with long life how satisfied are you satisfied yet with long life i'll satisfy him and do what show him my salvation listen to the complete english version cev says you will live a long life and see my saving power isn't that what the whole psalm is talking about with long life i'll satisfy him and what show him my salvation what is salvation saving what kept you from the plagues what kept you from the destruction that wasted at noon day god's saving power somebody say god's saving power easy to read says it in a similar way it says i will give my followers a long life and show them my power to save my power to save my saving power if you died at 20 from that disease or that accident you're not going to make it to long life or from some act of barbarism some violence you're not going to make it god has to manifest his saving power all through your and my life to get us from there all the way to long life where we're satisfied because we have run our entire race we have finished our course we have been there done that made the t-shirt and wrote the book and now it's time for us to leave and we're ready to go we're happy about it old come on somebody say old old full of days full of good experiences is that right full of blessings like abraham whose blessing has come on us through jesus christ right like jacob israel that we read about like these different individuals that god showed himself strong and kept them their whole life long now the thing is always be on your guard anything that tries to put you in fear any kind of symptom any kind of feeling any kind of thing that's going around any kind of thing that's happening in the world in the country all of it's designed to get you to doubt what you heard tonight to question it and decide you need to be scared anyway because you just never know and if you do that you're in trouble your fears can come on you how many know that so that's a spiritual principle that your fears can come on you oh but if you'll get a hold of yourself come on show me what you do these cares came on you these fears these thoughts these feelings come on what do you do what do you do you you say no no no i'm casting all of that over on you and then you go to talking what we talk tonight you say i dwell in the secret place of the most high i live under the shadow of the divine force field huh there are divine beings there are holy angels that accompany me right and god has given them charge what does that mean what does it mean god they've been given charge god said you take care of them they have been charged by god to take care of us and i am in complete agreement with that come on are you two i am in complete agreement i'm saying angels you do what he told you to do you watch over me you take care of me in mine is that right you keep us right if need to you grab us lift us up so we don't hit that move us over here so we don't hit that move that so it don't hit us right this world's a dangerous place but we are being kept we are being sustained oh anybody believe this is the word of the lord tonight we are being sustained we are being kept and he will keep us he will keep me he will sustain me all the way stand on your feet everybody you lord
