Refusing to Fear - Kingdom Empowerment with Pastor Angie Krulcik

So I want to start with Psalm 27 and I'm going to read to you

verses one through 6. Psalm 27 verse one says the Lord

is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life.

That ought to be your confession.

That's got to be a confession that I want you to leave here

tonight. And and I want it's, it's

different if I say God's your strength.

It's different if I say don't fear, if God says don't fear.

But it's way bigger and way more impactful.

If you go home and say God is the strength of my life, I will

not fear, I will not be discouraged.

That's what provides power. You can know that the Word of

God says it, but if you're not saying it out of your mouth,

then it's not affecting you. So this, says the Lord, is the

strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies

and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not

fear. Though war may rise against me,

and this will I be confident. One thing I have desired of the

Lord, and that will I seek, that I may dwell in the House of the

Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord,

and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He

shall hide me in His pavilion. That is His thicket.

That is A1 translation, says His Hut.

It means you're totally fenced in and totally protected.

He shall hide me in His pavilion.

In the secret place of His Tabernacle He shall hide me.

He shall set me high upon a rock, and now my head shall be

lifted up above my enemies all around me.

My head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me.

Therefore I will OfferUp sacrifices of joy in His

Tabernacle. I will sing, yes, I will sing

praises to the Lord. And when the scripture says the

Lord is the strength of your life, that word strength there

is your quickening. It is a place of safety,

protection, refugee, huge and a stronghold.

But you know the word of God, it has power in it.

And so when you speak that the the Lord is the strength of my

life, it quickens your body. It quickens your mind that the

Lord is the strength of your life.

Not that I can just tell you tonight you can walk out of here

and go awesome. The Lord is the strength of my

life. But if you go out of here and

you make that confession your own and starts you get up in the

morning and say, God, you're the strength of my life.

I will not fear, I will not be discouraged.

I will not be moved to the right or to the left.

God, you're the strength of my life.

Although the, the the mountains may move, things may fall into

the sea. I will not, my heart will not

fail. And I'm just telling you in the

last days, the things that are happening, the things that we're

seeing happening, you need to get on top of your mind and your

heart and you need to tell yourself you need to do like

what David did when he said soul, why are you downcast?

He had to talk to his his own soul and say, why are you

downcast? Oh my soul, put your hope in God

and you got to do that. Sometimes you got to look in the

mirror and go, why are you downcast?

Why are you discouraged? Put your hope in God and the the

quicker you learn how to not be led by what you see and what you

feel, the anxiety that tries to come, the better off you'll

because you're living by faith. OK, so let's go to Psalms 118.

Here's David again. You know, sometimes it's easy

for us to put our, our trust and our strength and our resources

and our connections and our, our status, our, our money, our

relationships, all of those things.

Sometimes it's easy for us to feel good about ourselves when

we have those things. But but really, the Bible says

your own righteousness is like filthy rags, and you ought to

think about that every day. There's not anything in my own

strength. It's all God and every good and

perfect gift comes from Him. And so I'm just going to give

him all the glory. It's not anything I can do.

If he gave me the ability to to make money, if he gave me the

ability to own a business, if he gave me the ability to do

anything, it's because He did it.

And I'm going to give him all the glory.

I'm not going to be like the Scripture and Deuteronomy that

says once you get into that land and that blessing, now don't you

forget, Don't you forget who gave that to you.

You ought to be real quick all the time to say, God, I'm so

thankful, Father, you're worthy. I'll give you all the glory all

the time, all the time. Psalms 118 says I called on the

Lord in distress and the Lord answered me and set me in a

broad place. The Lord is on my side and I

will not fear. What can man do to me?

Now listen to this next part. The Lord is my strength and my

song, and He has become my salvation.

You know, and I know probably a lot of you know this, but inside

of salvation is everything that you need.

It's everything that God has done.

It's the peace that you need. It's the the quietness that you

need. It's the provision, it's the

health that you need. But one of the definitions for

salvation is that you're no longer molested by the enemy.

You're no longer, you know, tossed to and fro by every wind

of doctrine or every voice that comes at you.

You got to get really good when all those things come at you

that every day. I've shared this before.

When I was a little girl, I ran out of the house without my

shirt on and and I was little, so it wasn't that big a deal.

But but, but I was horrified. And I remember I ran outside

talking about being distracted. I ran outside and I was like, I

don't have a shirt on and I ran back in the house and I would, I

cried and I was so upset. And you know, a lot of times we

walk out of the house and we don't got our britches on and we

don't got our shirt on. I'm talking about in the spirit

now we come on, get, get, get back over.

We got to make sure we're putting on the full armor of God

every day, every day that the helmet of salvation.

I know who I am in Christ and I know in whom I believe the, the

belt of truth buckled around my waist, the breastplate of

righteousness in place. That means I I know that it's

him that gave me that righteousness and that's

protecting all my vital organs. So anytime something tries to

tell me different, I say no, no, I got my breastplate of

righteousness on. I got my feet fitted with the

gospel of peace. I've got the sword of the

Spirit, which is the word of God.

And that's the part that's the offense.

And that's the part that you got to be saying that you got to be

speaking out. Now let's go to Philippians

chapter one. I'm going to read Philippians

Philippians 1:27–30

chapter 1 verses 27 through 30 in the amplified classic edition

because it just breaks it down so good.

Verse 27 says only be sure as citizens so to conduct

yourselves, that your manner of life will be worthy of the good

news of the gospel of Christ. So that whether I do come and

see you or I'm absent, I may hear this of you and this.

We want this to be said of us, that you are standing firm in

united spirit and purpose, striving side by side, and

contending with a single mind for the faith of the glad

tidings, the gospel. Now listen to verse 28 and do

not for a moment be frightened. Do not for a moment be

frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and

adversaries, no matter what your opponents, no matter what your

adversaries bring to you, the scripture says.

Don't even for a moment be frightened or intimidated by

anything that they bring, for such constancy by you and

fearlessness will be a clear sign, proof and seal to them of

their impending destruction, but a sure token and evidence of

your deliverance and salvation and that from God.

I don't think y'all got that. So I'm going to read that verse

again. And do not for a moment be

frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and

adversaries, for such constancy and fearlessness will be a clear

sign, proof and seal to them of their impending destruction, but

a sure token and evidence of your deliverance and salvation

and that from God. And all of that is because you

didn't. For a moment, for one second,

you didn't allow fear or intimidation to stay in your

mind. Not for a moment in Luke 2119,

that scripture is talking about, you know, the last days, and it

says in your patience possess ye your soul.

And that scripture in another translation, what it means is in

your steadfastness, you possess your soul and all these things

that are happening in the these last day, last days that we're

living in, all the things that we're seeing, the scripture says

you need to possess your soul. You need to get on top of what's

happening up here. Because if you give, if you give

fear one second and then you give it 2 minutes and then you

give it about half an hour and then next thing you know you're

down in the ditch having a stronghold of the spirit of

fear. You can't give it a minute.

You can't give it a second. Second John chapter 2 says, I

wish and desire, brethren, above all things, that you would

prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.

And that word prosper means that there's a, there's a direct way

in your mind, There's an easy flow in your mind.

And how do you know that you're, that you are prospering in your

mind and that you're not yielding to fear, that you're

not worrying? Brother Hagin used to say, if

you're, if you're constantly thinking about something, you're

probably worrying about it. You wake up thinking about

something, you're probably worrying about it.

You got something on your mind all the time.

You've probably allowed worry to come in.

Worry and anxiety is really fear.

So in this time that we live in, if you're going to have the

victory, if you're not going to lose your mind, you can't let

any of these things have even a second.

And you got to be that fiery about it.

The the Bible says the Kingdom of heaven is advancing and the

violent take it by force. You got to be that violent about

it. You've got to practice peace.

You've got to be skillful about it.

It cost him everything for you to have a sound mind.

It cost him everything for you to be able to walk in peace.

So why do we walk around disturbed?

Why do we walk around with anxiety and fear and worry and

and being agitated about stuff? He paid for all of it so that

you could have a sound mind. Psalm 42 five is the Scripture

that I gave you about David saying, why are you in despair,

O my soul, and why have you become restless and disturbed

within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly

for him, for I shall again praise him for the help of his

presence. Psalm 23 from the Scripture we

just read about the the enemies. Don't you give them a second?

Don't you give them a minute? They're there and they're

talking. Psalm 23 says the Lord is my

shepherd. I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures now Is that peaceful?

Green pastures is pretty peaceful.

He leads me beside the still waters.

Is that peaceful? He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's

sake. Yeah.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will

fear no evil, for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You're seated at a table in the presence of your enemies.

You anoint my head with oil and my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my

life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

I remember the first time I realized that I was seated at

the table and and my enemies were there and they were talking

and I was a Rhema student. I've shared this story before.

I was a Rhema student and I had pulled into my apartment and I

was listening to a, a teaching by Brother Hagin called Casting

Your Cares. And in that, in that teaching,

he started talking about Psalm 23 and how we're seated at the

table and how our enemies are there and they're talking to us

and they're saying stuff. But he started, he started

saying, well, just pass me the bowl of victory and then just

pass me the bowl of joy. I'm, I'm, I'm going to stay

seated right here. And I know they're talking and I

know they're saying stuff, but just pass me the bowl of, of

joy. Just pass me the bowl of peace.

Just pass me the bowl of provision.

And I got so excited listening to that, that I opened my car

door and took off running. It was at night and I just took

off running down the street and I didn't care.

And I didn't care who was watching because I learned that

I was seated at the table. And I learned that I had

authority over those voices that were talking to me.

And when I learned that that I had authority over them, I was

able to go, no, no, no, no, no. I know who you are.

I recognize that all you can do is lie.

All you can do is tell me who I'm not.

All you can do is tell me what I don't have and I'm just going

to, I'm going to stay seated in my place of victory.

Far above. You know, the scripture says

you're far above all rule and authority and power and

dominion. Far above it, You're far above.

You just sit here and and all those enemies and all those

little things are down there and they're under your feet.

Cygnus is under your feet. Whatever it is, it's under your

feet. And you can know it and you can

say, yes, Amen. But if you don't walk out of

here and you don't say it yourself and you don't get it in

your spirit and in your mind yourself, then you're just

sitting up in here like Saul was when David came and played the

harp for him. And, and, and every time David

did that, there was an anointing and, and Saul was comforted and

he had peace. And this church is not going to

be like those religious leaders who walk up in here and say

Hallelujah and then we walk out of here and we're all bound up.

That's not who we are. That's not who you are.

You get too good of teaching here and there's too great of a

body right here for you to be connected for you to walk out of

here and look all bound up. And if you're married and you

got a spouse that is all bound up, you better keep them

accountable and help them get out of their little thing.

Speak the word to them. You know, I was that way in the

beginning of, of my marriage. We're teaching marriage class

right now and, and we've shared this and I was a mess.

I was a Rhema student and I was, my mind was being renewed and,

you know, I was growing a lot, but I still had a lot of baggage

that I was carrying. And I was still emotional.

And I had, you know, some fits here and there.

And I remember I threw myself on the bed and I can't remember

why. I don't need you to pipe in.

I saw his eyebrows go like that. But I threw myself on the bed

and was pitching a fit. And he didn't, he didn't look at

me and say, what's wrong with you, woman?

He didn't do anything like that. He just stood there, just

watched me and said, you're a woman of God.

You're a woman of God. And, and in the beginning, and I

shared this with our class, in the beginning, I was like,

you're a liar. Quit saying that.

And and what he was doing was speaking faith to me.

And eventually it caused me to stand up a little taller, and it

caused me to go, yeah, I am that woman of God.

And you got to do that for your spouse.

If they're all bound up in the house and not live, and they can

come in here and run a lap and shout a victory and do

something, but they go home and get in their little depressed

bed, you better say something to them.

I don't know who that was for, but don't look at your spouse.

OK, Let's go to Acts 20, verses 22 through 24.

Acts 20:22–24

Oh my goodness, Acts 20 verses 22 through 24 says, and now you

Acts 20:22–24

see, I'm going to Jerusalem. This is this is Paul.

And there was all kinds of stuff that he was had to deal with

leading up to these verses. I'm going to Jerusalem bound by

the Holy Spirit and obligated and compelled by the convictions

of my own spirit, not knowing what will befall me there,

except that the Holy Spirit clearly and emphatically affirms

to me in city after city that imprisonment and suffering

awaits me. You heard that right.

OK. That imprisonment and suffering

awaits me. The Holy Spirit told him that

some of y'all would say, devil get behind me, that I'm.

That's not happening. I know that's the devil.

You better know the Holy Ghost well enough to know who's

talking to you. So he said the Holy Spirit

clearly and emphatically told him that imprisonment and

suffering awaited awaited him. And he said, But none of these

things move me. None of these things move me,

Neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish

my course with joy. And the ministry which I have

obtained from which was entrusted to me by the Lord

Jesus faithfully to attest to the good news, the gospel of

God's grace, His unmerited favors, spiritual blessing and

mercy. Everybody say none of these

things move me. That's another great confession.

When something comes, some trial comes right in your face that

you say. None of these things move me.

I will not be moved by this. Isaiah 12 two says, behold God

is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid

for Yahweh. The Lord is my strength and my

song. He also has become my salvation.

Psalm 18 says verse one, I will love you, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer.

Listen to this what David says. I love this scripture.

The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer, my

God, my strength, in whom I will trust my shield and the horn of

my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who

is worthy to be praised, So shall I be saved from my

enemies. The Lord is my rock and my

fortress, my deliverer, my God, my strength.

In him I will trust my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my

stronghold. What a great confession of

faith. Psalms 28 verses 7 and 8 says

Psalms 28:7

the Lord is my strength and my shield.

My heart trusts, trusts in him and I am helped.

He is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in him and I am

helped. Therefore my heart greatly

rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

The Lord is their strength, and He is the saving refuge of His.

Anointed. Anointed, that's you.

Ephesians 610 says, finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord

and in the power of his might. You know where the word of the

King is, there's power. So when that says be strong in

the Lord, that means you can be strong in the Lord.

When he tells you do not be anxious, that means you don't

have to be anxious. When he tells you don't worry,

that means you don't have to worry.

That means he's giving you the power to do it, the power to

walk it out, the power to live it.

His commands are empowering Ephesians 610 and the classic,

amplified classic says in conclusion, be strong in the

Lord. Be empowered through your union

with Him. Draw your strength from Him,

that strength which is His boundless, His boundless might

provides. Draw your strength from Him,

that strength which His boundless might provides.

The greater 1 is in you, the greater 1 is in you.

You have the Holy Ghost in you. You have the same Spirit that

raised Christ Jesus from the dead living within you.

If you don't encourage yourself in the Lord, nobody's going to

do it. Nobody's going to do it for you.

I had to Get Me Out. What's his name?

Eddie James song today about being it's deliverance from your

enemies and they stumbled and fell and it's a song and I was

doing all that. Nobody was home and I was just

dancing, right? Because I had to get myself

together. I had, I had to get some stuff

off me. I had to get myself in a

position of joy. And it didn't take much for me

to step out in faith and do a little jig and the Holy Ghost

come and say I got you. I'm your strength, I'm your

shield, I'm your strong tower, I'm your peace.

It didn't take long for that to happen, but I had to.

I had to step out and do something.

Sometimes we get so stuck in our patterns and our ruts and our

strongholds and our our routines that we don't want to get out of

it. You got to get uncomfortable.

You got to step out and do some stuff, sometimes by faith.

I'm not talking about right now. I'm not asking anybody to take a

run right now. You can, but I'm not asking you

to do that. I'm talking about when you're in

your quiet place. I'm talking about when you're in

your car, when you're in the shower, when the bombardment of

thoughts is coming at you like this, that you're able to say

the Lord is the strength of my life.

I'm seated far above this, and you've got to do that.

We've got to do that. I feel like I'm basketball

coaching right now, like I need everybody to huddle up.

I need everybody to just come huddle up and let's get together

and let's do some kind of chant or something.

We might have to do that. Thank you, Mr. Arraign Beast,

being strong is not just encouragement, it is the power

infused of the Holy Ghost on you.

Isaiah 4110 says fear not for I am with you.

Do not be dismayed for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you.

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

These are Old Testament scriptures.

Isaiah is is talking about the day we live in.

But even the Psalms, when David sings and cries out and lays

things out before God, sometimes we are not doing that with God.

We're not in a position to say, OK, Lord, I'm casting the weight

of my burden on you. There it is.

I see it. But I'm casting all of my care

on you because you care for me, because you sustain me, because

you quicken me. It's too easy for us to to do

this. It's too easy, easy for us to

get on social media. It's too easy for us to to be

busy about so many things that we're not taking time with him,

that we're not dwelling with him every moment that you can.

And if you don't do it the minute you get out of bed, those

little, those little, now, a lot of times it's your flesh most of

the time, like Pastor Chase said on Sunday and like the scripture

says. But those little demons, if they

know what your weak spot is, they're ready to send.

Do you ever wonder why people of the same offense and the same

stuff, they just all find each other?

Why does that happen? Why does that happen?

You think that's a coincidence that that happens?

Nope. That that, that the demonic, the

spirit realm is more real than what you see right now.

And if there's a weakness and you've released it out of your

mouth and there's an offense and you've released it out of your

mouth, then there they are. There they are to, to go and,

and, and get everybody all together and on the same page.

But we have authority over them. That's why you got to watch what

you're saying and what you're thinking.

Psalm 46. God is our refuge and strength.

Oh my Lord, thank you, Father, thank you that you're our refuge

and our strength in this season of life.

Thank you, Father God, with everything that's going on in

the last days, I thank you, Lord, that you're our strength

and you're our refuge. And we will not fear.

We will not fear. We will not give way, we will

not yield. We'll be strong in you and in

the power of your mind. We thank you, Lord, that you are

our strength and our refuge. We can run up into You and we

are safe. We can run up into your

pavilion, we can run up into your refuge and we're saved.

And we thank you for that. We honor you for that.

We give you all the glory and all the praise and we won't

forget. We won't forget.

We won't walk out of here and forget who you are and that the

Holy Ghost is right there to help and to guide and to

quicken. Holy Spirit, we thank you.

What a gift you are to us. What a gift you are.

Holy Ghost, we're so grateful and we will do everything that

we can not to grieve you, not to quench you, not to put you out

in our own lives, in our own heart.

When you speak, we'll be quick to trust, quick to obey.

Have your way, Holy Spirit. We give you all the praise and

all the glory, all the glory. God is our refuge and He's our

strength. He's our very present help and

trouble. Therefore we will not fear.

Even though the earth be removed, and though the

mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though its

waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with

its swelling, we will not fear. Isaiah 5414 says In

righteousness you shall be established.

In righteousness you shall be established.

So much I could say right here. I need to flip my hair.

OK, I'm sweating, all right, righteousness, is it bigger?

All right, right. They're not videoing so I can do

what I want up here. Isaiah 5414 and righteousness

you shall be established. That is His righteousness.

That is who you are in Him. This is your foundation.

This is who you are. When the Hebrews talks about

those who are are still babies are not skilled in the word of

righteousness, you know what that means?

It means we don't know who we are.

It means we haven't learned. This word of righteousness is

not a religious word. It is.

That's why the the Bible says seek first the Kingdom of God

and his righteousness and all those other things will be added

to you. Because in Isaiah 54, you know,

in the church world, not y'all, but in the church world, people

love to quote verse 17, No weapon formed against me shall

prosper. I'm more than a conqueror.

And it does say that, but you got to scoot up, back up to

verse 14, where it says in righteousness you shall be

established. You shall be far from oppression

and you shall not fear and from terror, for it shall not come

near. Terror shall not come near to

you. 1000 may fall at your side, 10,000 at your right hand, but

it will not come near you. You shall be far from

oppression, you shall not fear, and from terror shall not come

near you. And then jump down to verse 17.

Because you understand this righteousness, no weapon formed

against you shall prosper. Because you understand who you

are in Christ, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

And every tongue which rises against you in judgement you

shall condemn. This is the heritage of the

servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me, says

the Lord. Psalm 34.

Psalm 34. I will bless the Lord at all

times. His praise shall continually be

in my mouth before I finish reading this.

When we went to Rhema, Keith Moore was one of our instructors

and and he taught a class called Praise Life.

And in Praise Life, every single day we had to quote this

scripture. And you didn't always feel like

it. You didn't always want to, but

he didn't care. He didn't care if you wanted to

stand up every. I'm not telling you stand up,

but He's everybody. Stand up.

And we would say, I will bless the Lord at all times.

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make its boast in the Lord.

The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.

I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and He delivered me from all

my fears. The scripture says that I just

read, I'll bless the Lord at all times, and His praise will

always be in my mouth. And then it goes on to say, He

delivered me from all my fears. Now jump down to verse 7.

The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and

delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord

is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in

him. Oh, fear the Lord, you his

Saints. Listen.

There is no want to those who fear him.

There is no lack to those who fear Him.

The Young Lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the

Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Come, you children, listen to me.

I will teach you the fear of the Lord, who is the man who desires

life and loves many days, that he may see good.

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

Depart from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open

to their cry. The face of the Lord is against

those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the

earth. The righteous cry out, and the

Lord hears and delivers them out of all their trouble, all their

troubles. Are you troubled?

The scripture says He delivers you out of all your troubles,

all of them. The Lord is near to those who

have a broken heart and saves such as has a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers

him out of them all, all of them.

Second Timothy 110 says, God did not give you a spirit of fear,

but of power, of love, and of a sound mind.

You cannot leave your mind unattended, not for one second,

not for one second. Pressure is going to come, cares

are going to come, worries going to come, fear is going to come.

You cannot leave this alone for one second.

You're the one that has to take authority.

Everything is brand new in Christ, in your spirit man.

God lives in you. But then he tells you now, OK,

now be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

So you're the one that has to grab hold of these scriptures.

That's why I said this should be a, a shot in the arm for you

tonight, that you go home and go, I'm going to Psalm 34.

I'm going to say that Psalm 27, the Lord is the strength of my

life. That's going to be my confession

of faith that you do it, that you grab hold of it, that you

say it, that you meditate on it. God didn't give you a spirit of

fear. Don't give place to it.

You know the Bible says don't give the enemy a foothold.

Well, if you think long enough on something, yeah, he's going

to have a foothold. If you remember for not one

second, not one moment, don't yield to fear.

Not one moment. Isaiah 26 verses 3 and 4 says

Isaiah 26:3

you will keep him in perfect peace.

Whose mind is stayed on you, You will keep him in perfect peace.

Whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you.

Trust in the Lord forever. For Yahweh the Lord is

everlasting strength. Psalm 5522 says, cast your

burden on the Lord and He will sustain you.

He will never permit the righteous to be moved.

He will never permit the righteous to be moved.

John chapter 14, John chapter 14, verse one says let not your

John 14 · chapter mention John 14 · chapter mention

heart be troubled. In other words, do not let your

heart be troubled. And then if you jump down to

verse 27, it says peace I leave with you, and my peace I give

you. Not as the world gives do I give

you. Let not your heart be troubled,

and neither let it be afraid. Peace is not feeling good.

Peace is a supernatural power. And you know if you've

experienced the peace of God or not, because the peace of God

will come in the middle of a trial.

The peace of God will come in the middle of what feels like

the hardest thing of your life. The peace of God will come and

flood your mind, and that's where it is is in your mind.

You'll have peace in your spirit, but you'll have peace in

your mind. There's not anxiety, there's not

fear racing around Psalm 5522. Cast your burden on the Lord and

he'll sustain you. He'll never permit the righteous

to be moved. Peace He leaves with you.

We can't be double minded. You know James talks about the

double minded man is unstable in all of his ways.

Wrong thinking opens the door. Wrong meditation opens the door.

You cannot give the enemy a foothold.

You know, the Bible says that God sits in the heavens and he

laughs. All these things are happening,

all these things are going on. His enemies are there, but it

says he sits in the heavens and he laughs.

Can you sit and and just laugh? Can you by faith just get peace?

I've shared many times and I've had many laughs since then.

But in the beginning of our marriage, my husband, while we

were laying in the bed, decided and I was frustrated about

something and I think he was too.

There's something going on. I don't remember what it was.

And he just laid down and went ha ha, ha.

And I was like, cut it out, what are you doing?

And he was like, ha, ha, ha. I am not going to be moved.

And I thank God for that example because that example of faith is

what caused me next to the Lord Jesus to be where I'm at today,

to be. We're in a position where I can

say I won't be moved. Ha, ha, ha.

I'm not moved by that. Yeah, I see it.

Yeah, the enemy's there. But I'm not moved by that.

I want to. I want to close with Psalm 27

again, again. I want to read it again now that

we've gone through some of these other scriptures.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my

life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies

and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

Though an army may camp around him against me, my heart shall

not fear. The war may rise against me, and

this will I be confident. One thing I have desired of the

Lord, and that will I seek, that I may dwell in the House of the

Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord,

and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He

shall hide me in His pavilion, in His thicket, in his in His

Hut, in his fence, in his strong tower, in the secret place of

His Tabernacle, He shall hide me.

He shall set me high upon a rock, and now my head shall be

lifted up above my enemies. All around me, therefore, I will

offer sacrifices of joy. In His Tabernacle.

I will sing. Yes, I will sing praises to the

Lord.
