  54. God. If you would turn with me to the Book.

  55. Of Psalms and the twenty third division of Psalms, and

  56. we're going to start. I hope you got your Bibles today.

  57. There's a couple of books we're gonna a few books

  58. we're gonna encounter for this message. Amen, in the Book

  59. of Psalms and the twenty third division and around about

  60. versus four and five in the Bible. And you get there, saymen,

  61. everybody out to know what Psalms twenty three is. Amen.

  62. The Lord is my shepherd, right, Amen. But we're gonna

  63. start at verse four. If you're not there, say wait

  64. on me. Psalm twenty three division and verse four. Yay,

  65. though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

  66. Even though I'm walking through the valley of the shadow

  67. of death, I will fear no evil. For Thy art

  68. with me, Thy rod, and thy staff they comfort me.

  69. Thy prepareth a table before me in the presence of

  70. my enemy. Thy annun at my head with all and

  71. my cup run it over, if you would go with

  72. me to the Book of Isaiah, chapter forty three. The

  73. Book of Isaiah in chapter forty three and starting at

  74. verse one, and the Bible says, but now doth say

  75. it the Lord now that created THEE O Jacob, and

  76. he that formed THEE O Israel. Fear not, for I

  77. have redeemed THEE. I have called THEE by thy name,

  78. Thy art mind. When thy passes through the waters, I

  79. will be with THEE, and through the rivers they shall

  80. not overflow THEE. When thy walkest through the fire, thy

  81. shall not be burned. Neither shall the flame kindle up

  82. on THEE. The flame ain't even going to escort you.

  83. For I am the Lord, thy God, the Holy One

  84. of Israel, thy Savior. I give Egypt for thy ransom,

  85. Ethiopia and Siba for THEE, since thy waste precious in

  86. my sight, since I was precious in my sight. Thy

  87. hast been honorable, and I have loved me. Therefore, will

  88. I give men for THEE and people for thy life.

  89. Fear not. If I am with THEE, I will bring

  90. Thy seed from the east and gather THEE from the west.

  91. Turn with me to the Book of Matthews, chapter twenty eight,

  92. starting in verse nineteen in the Bible says twenty eight nineteen,

  93. go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in

  94. the name of the Father and of the Son and

  95. of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever.

  96. I have commanded you, nothing else. And lo I am

  97. with you always, even until the end of the world. Amen. Amen,

  98. you've got a handclap of praise. God is good. Amen.

  99. God is good. He's worthy, He's worthy. You may be seated.

  100. We're going to talk about don't look up. I mean

  101. we're going to talk about don't look down. Look up.

  102. God is still with you. Don't look down, look up.

  103. God is still with you. When we look at the

  104. Book of Psalms, Division twenty three, it expresses clearly the

  105. role of God. It's clear what God's role is. The

  106. Lord is my shepherd, Is that clear? Is that clear?

  107. Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow

  108. of the Lord is with you? Is that clear? So?

  109. The twenty third Psalm expressly expresses clearly the role of

  110. God as a protector and a provider in life. The

  111. Lord is my shepherd. I shall not wan't. He's your

  112. protector and your provider in life.

  113. The Lord is also.

  114. Compared to a shepherd, and the believer is to understand

  115. that He is the sheep. So he's the shepherd to

  116. the sheep, as well as God being a host and

  117. the believer as a great as a guest. In the

  118. division of Psalms, God is a host and we are guests.

  119. Hey man, So we look at at the Psalms. We're

  120. gonna look not look down, but look up because God

  121. will never leave us. And as you listen to the

  122. verses out of the Book of Psalms Isaiah and Matthews,

  123. we understand that God never leaves us. He's with us

  124. in the fire, He's with us in the when we're

  125. walking through the waters, He's in us and our trials

  126. and tribulations. Are you with me? God never leaves us? Amen?

  127. There is a poem that says.

  128. It's called footprint.

  129. Amen.

  130. I just want to I saw it like this at home.

  131. Tell us her to come in, Come in baby, right

  132. here in the middle here, come in by. I want

  133. you all to look at this, because right here is trouble, trials,

  134. tribulations from this bench to this bench, trouble, trials and tribulations.

  135. And the Summer says there were two footprints.

  136. God will never leave you, North think you.

  137. But when he got to the trouble and the tribulation,

  138. all he saw was one set of footprint going across

  139. the trials and tribulations. That's because when he got to

  140. the trials and tribulation, the only one set, because it

  141. was Jesus set of footprints. Because at this point he

  142. was carrying you. He'll never leave you. You wonder sometimes

  143. how you made it through because He carried you through.

  144. Hey man.

  145. So I just want to say to you this morning.

  146. You're never alone. All I want to get across to

  147. you today is as a child of God, it does

  148. not matter what you're going through. It does not matter

  149. how many bad wins are blowing in your life. It

  150. don't matter. You have a promise amen from God, that

  151. you are never alone. Now that promise does not mean

  152. much when it comes from the lips of humans. They

  153. might tell you I never leave you, brother, I met

  154. you back night and day. They would tell you, man,

  155. I'm with you till the end, no matter what wild horses,

  156. man couldn't drive me away. But all it takes are

  157. you with me? Is one little misunderstanding.

  158. That's all it takes.

  159. I w you do thick and thin, But all it

  160. takes is a little misunderstanding, and they out of here.

  161. But God will never leave you, nor will he ever

  162. forsake you. Some people may say to you, I'm with you,

  163. like when we said back in the days when we

  164. were growing up, you my friend, right or wrong. But

  165. if you go to jail, I will stay at home.

  166. You my friend through the thick and the thin. But

  167. when things get thick, they always thind out. But when

  168. you have the promise from the Lord, you have to

  169. remember what Baalim said in the Book of Numbers. God

  170. is not a man that he should lie know the

  171. son of Man that he should repent, because if God

  172. said it, he shit, he'll do it.

  173. Amen.

  174. If God said it, he's going to bring.

  175. It the past.

  176. It doesn't matter how hopeless it seems, or how impossible

  177. it seems, we already begin to understand that God's power

  178. is innumerble. Amen, somebody, Amen, somebody. So if it seems impossible,

  179. God can't lie. He works in the rim of impossibility.

  180. He works where we can't go. He works where we

  181. can't work. We in situations that seems impossible, we feel

  182. like we all along. But God is in the midst

  183. of it all. It don't matter what you're in because

  184. in this day and time, it seems as though people

  185. feel like they they're cast as out Amen, and what

  186. they are going through, they feel like that.

  187. They're going through it.

  188. All by themselves and nobody cares. And so many folks

  189. today are living frustrated lies, mainly rich folks. Aymen, But

  190. we think rich folks don't go through now because they

  191. got all this money, but they go through. Michael Jackson

  192. was miserable when he was a bigionnaire, and there are

  193. many more. There's one in prison right now that's a

  194. big in that he's really miserable, and others. Money don't

  195. make you happy, Amen, It don't give you the piece

  196. you think are the joy. Even so many folks today

  197. are living frustrated lives, folks feeling lonely, young folks who have.

  198. Hardly even gotten started in life.

  199. And yet they are feeling precious of them. A lot

  200. of pressures, that's why they're committing all these crimes. And

  201. their pressures have caused them to believe that nobody and

  202. no one even cares. But I'm here to tell you, Amen,

  203. I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter what you

  204. are in, what you are going through, no matter how

  205. many human facts have turned away from you. Amen, whatever

  206. you're going through, if you belong to Him, are you

  207. with me? If you belong to If right there I said,

  208. if you belong to him, you are never alone. Amen.

  209. You see Jesus.

  210. Then ever going to be alone from the Father. That

  211. was his problem in the garden of bensended me. That

  212. was his problem with the cross, because when the sin

  213. he came upon him, God had to turn his face

  214. from him. He was alone. But God yet was still

  215. within him, But he was He fell alone. They met somebody.

  216. God will never leave you, nor forsake you. You leave him,

  217. sin separates you from him, Amen. And even then he

  218. still may have stole his grace and mercy upon you. Amen.

  219. It don't matter what the world thinks, it's what God says.

  220. Amen. That's the only thing counts in the end, and

  221. in the.

  222. Beginning, Jesus said, if you teach them to observe all

  223. things whatsoever I command you.

  224. You don't have to wear it.

  225. Friends may turn their backs on you, but I'll be

  226. with you. Even when your friends turn their backs on you. Heymen,

  227. your family may put you out, but I'll be with you.

  228. And you know, some of the young preachers today, they.

  229. Up against a lot. They're up against a lot.

  230. Especially the biggest thing they up against and the most

  231. powerful thing they up against. You'll just wonder what it

  232. is with you. I'm gonna tell you what it is.

  233. It's the truth. That's the biggest thing they up against.

  234. Is the truth. They got there up against telling the

  235. truth of the Word of God, and not these lies

  236. that these other folks standing behind the poor pitch trying

  237. to tell you to keep you entertained and keep you

  238. peeling out your pocket. They up against the truths aymen,

  239. they got a lot on their shoulder. They're gonna have

  240. to know that God is with them, because they're going

  241. to be They're gonna have the Minister of the Word

  242. of God to the world that is going in another direction.

  243. I was telling them the other day in the barbership.

  244. I said, these things that have been minister, that have

  245. been lies, have been deeply rooted for ten twenty thirty

  246. forty years. They've been deeply rooted in people, and the

  247. truth is hard to break it up in them that

  248. the lies they've been told. Amen.

  249. But God will never leave you in a lie.

  250. Amen. So these young ministers today they up against the

  251. truth of the word to tell society that's been going

  252. in the wrong direction, our society that really don't want

  253. to hear the word. And I'm not just talking about

  254. the folks on the outside. I'm talking about the folks

  255. inside of God. In the House of God. Hey man,

  256. you got a lot of folks who want to go

  257. through the praise. But when you get through with the praise,

  258. they are through. They through, when the choiet and the

  259. praise team, the praise team gets through singing and building

  260. up their emotions, they danced and ran all over the church.

  261. And now it's time for the truth of God's word

  262. to come forth. When the praise is through, they cool.

  263. They don't want the truth of the word and didn't

  264. believe that God ain't God. Ain't God ain't doing enough

  265. for him. God ain't with me God. They don't never

  266. leave you, nor does the other us sake you. We

  267. leave him. Amen, and Lord have mercy. Don't let the

  268. preacher get into how they are supposed to live. Just

  269. tell them what they're gonna get while they live the

  270. blessings of God.

  271. Don't tell them how to live.

  272. But see, they don't realize they only praise that God wants.

  273. The only praise that God honors is praised that comes

  274. from lips expressing.

  275. A perfect heart.

  276. He don't care about folks running and jumping and going

  277. all through all this dramatic stuff, hey man, and don't

  278. even intend to live a life that's pleasing in his

  279. sight when they get through.

  280. And this is the truth that folks are not.

  281. Ready to accept, but rather not if they're ready or not.

  282. Here it is here, it is Jesus. Let them know.

  283. As he said earlier, I'm sending you in the midst

  284. of wolves, but I want you to know, even when

  285. the wolves are growling, even when the snakes are hissing,

  286. even when you are preaching the gospel that's unpopular to

  287. your hero you are never alone. Gone and witness Dick Gone,

  288. Witness sisters, you are never alone. And sometimes the very

  289. people who would push you out there, they say, honey,

  290. don't you know the Lord has called you? And there

  291. are a lot of folks out there like that, A

  292. lot of folks out there that have been pushed out there, gone, preacher, gone,

  293. a vengels. God ain't called you, none of those positions.

  294. They don't push you out there, and you just went.

  295. And there's a lot of folks after they've been pushed

  296. out there, and when they get out there, the pusher

  297. turns their back on it. They don't just turn it

  298. back on you. They start talking about you behind your

  299. back too. But the Lord said, if I send you,

  300. it don't matter what goes on.

  301. I'm with you.

  302. If I send you, I'm with you, and I'm gonna

  303. be with you when times are good, and I'm gonna

  304. be with you when times are going bad. And believe

  305. it or not, the Lord never intended that only people

  306. with licenses he is what we're getting me. Can I

  307. teach today? Can I teach? The Lord never intended that

  308. only people with licenses and conditionals are people that have

  309. been ordained would carry his word. He never intended for

  310. all of that. Every person who embraces Jesus Christ as Lord,

  311. his word is with you everyone, and ye shall be witnesses.

  312. Hey man, lawyers don't win cases.

  313. That says, dude.

  314. You might not have a license, but you can be

  315. a witness. You might not have been ordained, but you

  316. can be a witness. Hey man, somebody, it doesn't It

  317. does not matter if you're male or female.

  318. You can be a witness.

  319. We got this perception all messed up.

  320. We've been perceiving the wrong thing.

  321. You don't have to be a preacher to minister the

  322. word of God to nobody. You don't have to stand

  323. behind the poor pit to preach a word of God.

  324. They got it mixed up. You don't have to have

  325. this podium and stand in a poor pit. The poor

  326. pit is spiritual anyway, You poor pick can be out

  327. there and you out that witness in the word of God,

  328. and you don't have to be afraid, and you don't

  329. have to be ashamed, and you don't have to be

  330. a wi to witness the word of God because the

  331. powers don't back you up. God is gonna be with you.

  332. You don't have to be ashamed of the Gospel of

  333. Jesus Christ. I tell it all in the barbershop, in

  334. the stores, on the job, in the house, to the neighbors.

  335. I'm a witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You

  336. might have been ordained, but you can be a witness.

  337. Hey man, you don't have to stand in a poor

  338. pit to be a witness. You can sit down in

  339. the break room, on your job, wherever you are. You

  340. can be a witness. And the Lord says, while you

  341. are being a witness, it may not look like nobody's

  342. listening to what you are saying. It may not look

  343. like everybody is trying to may it may look like

  344. everybody even.

  345. Trying to slander you.

  346. While you are talking about Jesus. And they'll do it.

  347. I've seen it.

  348. But I hear the Lord when he says, if you

  349. can only open a spiritual eye, you can see that

  350. when you are talking about me, there, I am with you.

  351. I'm with you talking. I'm with you while you're telling them,

  352. And so I'm telling you. Go ahead on tell the

  353. story because I'm with you. Don't worry about the crossed eyes,

  354. the angry faces. Don't worry about the doubt us and

  355. the unbeliever us. You don't pour up on one end.

  356. Heaven is having a party. Just tell it. Just tell

  357. the story, Jesus said, Just tell it because I'm with you.

  358. If you don't think nobody's with you, I'm with you.

  359. Just tell it. And you know when you go into

  360. the courtroom, it's not the lawyer who is going to

  361. be the best. The best are the prosecuting attorney, are

  362. the defense attorney. And it's not the lawyer that wins

  363. the case. I just told you. You know who really

  364. wins the case. It's the witness. Whoever got the best

  365. witness is gonna win that case. Unless they got some

  366. funny stuff going on. You might not even have a

  367. lawyer that's worth of dying like I had one time.

  368. You might not have a lawyer worth or dying.

  369. But if you.

  370. Got some good witnesses, I'm here to tell you you

  371. can win the case. Do I have any witnesses in here?

  372. Do we have any witnesses in here? But gone and

  373. tell him I'm a witness for him. If you're a

  374. witness for him, you God his promised that he's gonna

  375. be with you in your witnesses not only is He

  376. with you when you are embracing the gospel are elaborating

  377. on it of Jesus Christ. But look at Isaiah forty three.

  378. I'm going to Isaiah forty three. First one, it tells

  379. us I'm going to be with you even when you

  380. are in trouble. As the Lord said, he said, fear not.

  381. And if you are in here today and you're facing

  382. something that you're uncertain of the outcome, he says, I'm

  383. with you.

  384. See, we understand.

  385. That uncertainties always brings fear. If the doctor says, if

  386. you done been to the doctor, and he said, well,

  387. I need you to come in so I can talk

  388. to you about that, and you mine goes to saying

  389. why he can't just tell they on the phone it

  390. must be serious uncertainty. And then sometimes when they that happens,

  391. fear gonna creep in. Because uncertainties always brings fear. That's

  392. why people are more afraid in the dark than they

  393. are in the light. Aymen, See, the situation is no

  394. different in your house in the day than it is

  395. in the night. It's the same in the days it

  396. is in the night. But it's just something about the

  397. night when it get dark and you home alone, and

  398. when you're home alone, those little pops and those little

  399. selling cracks and creeps that you that that that that

  400. that don't mean anything in the daytime, but at time

  401. it becomes unsettling.

  402. Because you don't know if it means Did you hear that.

  403. It don't mean nothing in the daytime, but let it

  404. happen to night. Did you hear that sound like somebody

  405. in there says, go in the charge.

  406. And see you? Is somebody in there?

  407. The same person in there in the daytime, is the

  408. same person in that nighttime? Nobody? But at nighttime it's

  409. just unsettling, and you feel like somebody's walking around in

  410. the other room somewhere because you hear the house creak,

  411. a little bit, a settle, a little bit. Uncertainty is

  412. brings fear and a cloud of darkness always breathe uncertainty.

  413. But I hear the Lord saying, you're facing that test

  414. and you're uncertain about the outcome.

  415. But I want you to know something.

  416. I hear the Lord saying, fear not because I'm with you. You're

  417. never alone, or you might see what's going on, and

  418. you might not even see what's going on. In the

  419. future of your life. But you remember what he said

  420. in Jeremiah. Huh. He said I see a future for you.

  421. That's what he said. He said, I see a future

  422. for you. You may not see what's on going on

  423. in the future, but God said, I see the future

  424. for you. And if you pay attention to God, you

  425. can see the future for you too, if you want

  426. of his You can see the future for you because

  427. you know the promises of God. And when you know

  428. the promises of God, you can see a future.

  429. It's not uncertain anymore.

  430. But when you allow yourself to get into darkness, you

  431. can't see straight and you come to understand that you

  432. all alone, and God ain't with me because it's so

  433. dark in here. But even when God is with you

  434. in the darkness, that's still like He illuminates the darkness.

  435. So the Lord says, fear not, I'm with you. Don't

  436. worry about the future. I got you. You don't know

  437. what the future hold, But God says, yeah, I can't

  438. tell you. What God says, y'all not gonna believe it.

  439. I'm gonna tell it anyway. You might not see what's

  440. going on in the future. You don't know what the

  441. future holds. But does anybody in here know If you

  442. don't know what the future holds, does anybody know who

  443. holds the future? Huh? You might not know what the

  444. future hope, But does anybody know who holds the future?

  445. If you know the hand that holds the future, and

  446. you know that he is your creator, not only is

  447. he your creator, he's your father, and he's the one

  448. that holds the future. Amen. The Simon says, like a

  449. father piti its his children, so the Lord pities them

  450. that fear him. If you have the father, the son

  451. or a daughter relationship with him, you may not know

  452. what's going on in the future. But I know the

  453. one that holds the future. And I know you probably

  454. know the story about the young man who was on

  455. this train. I don't know if you ever heard this

  456. story was about a young man, young boy. Rather see,

  457. he holds God holds the future. So you ain't got

  458. to worry about the Amen, because God already told you

  459. what's gonna happen for you in the future if you

  460. want to hear. Amen. So we're not afraid in this

  461. dispensation of time because we know who holds the future.

  462. And since we know who holds the future.

  463. And since we know the one that holds the future

  464. will never leave us alone. He'll always be with us

  465. through the thick and the thin, through the fire, He's

  466. gonna be with us while we're afraid of what the

  467. future may hold. Huh, let me tell you this story.

  468. It was a little boy on the train and the

  469. train was going at a very high speed. You've been

  470. in a car where somebody's going at high speed, you're

  471. just like, you just need to slow down. But see,

  472. you can't get all the way up to the engineer

  473. who's flying on this train rolling down the tracks. Amen, somebody,

  474. he's going at a very high speed, going.

  475. Around the mountains and stuff.

  476. That's enough skiit. You're going around the mountain and you're

  477. looking out the window of the train, look way down.

  478. There ain't no rails. Train rolling, hey, man, going around

  479. the mountains, and it's going over these narrow bridges, and

  480. people looking at and people looking down and seeing that

  481. all it would take is just for that car. Y'all

  482. takes this one little car or tiled over the whole

  483. train going down, and they know what that means. It

  484. would mean something death. But here's a little boy running

  485. up and down the aisles of the train, making people

  486. unnerves because he just went They want him. You know,

  487. when you see stuff like that, you just want everybody

  488. to be still. Sit down, you know, like back in

  489. the day and something. Even today, when it's thundering and

  490. lightning outside and folk over your house, you need to

  491. sit down somewhere and be quiet. They turn out of

  492. the TV all the lights and just sat there and

  493. be still. Sit down, boy, be still. You hear that

  494. thunder and lightning out there. They scad you running around

  495. playing and climbing and there's thundering lightning. They are nerved.

  496. The train flying around the mountains going through over narrow

  497. Bridge bridge. That narrow train is big, and the little

  498. boy just running up and down the eyes.

  499. Of the train.

  500. They was unnerved by him. They said something is wrong.

  501. The folk said that engineer, he's going too fast. Little boy,

  502. you need to sit down. Aren't you scagged? No, little

  503. boy said, I'm not scared. Well, don't you know at

  504. the fast feed of this engineer is gone. If something

  505. could have happened and everybody on this train could be killed.

  506. But the little boy said, no, I'm not scared.

  507. Why are you not scared, he said, because my daddy

  508. is the engineer. He said, my daddy is the engineer,

  509. and my daddy knows that I'm back here. See, my

  510. daddy is driving this train, and my daddy know I'm

  511. back here. So my daddy know I'm gonna be protected

  512. whatever may happen, because my daddy is the driver of

  513. the train and my daddy's with me. So I'm relaxed.

  514. They've scared of them. Why you ain't scared because my

  515. daddy the engineer, and my daddy know I'm back here.

  516. He know when you're about to go through the trials

  517. and tribulations. Hey man, somebody, don't you know whatever's going

  518. on in your life? He said, you can call him.

  519. You're gonna just have to say father. I lift my

  520. head in the deed. You can say Daddy. You can

  521. get down to the heartfelt of it. Alba alba.

  522. That means daddy. See see see.

  523. Father can be anybody. All you gotta do is have

  524. a good sperm, a good sperm count and you can

  525. father a chap. But Dadda takes care of them. You

  526. know what I'm saying. There's a many of them can

  531. Whatever going on, you don't have to even reason, and

  532. you don't have to have a reason to even be afraid.

  533. Because of Daddy, certain things happened in people's children laughing.

  534. Now, I'm gonna call my daddy.

  535. Well, Daddy gonna take care of me. Huh. My dad

  536. is the engineer, and he knows that I'm on board.

  537. And I wish all of y'all would just say fear enough,

  538. because my daddy driving his train. David said he was

  539. down there in the Valley of the Shadows of Death,

  540. but he knew the Lord was with him. And I

  541. want you to know that you may be down in

  542. the valley, but I heard the Lord say, I'm with

  543. you even when you're in the valley. I'm with you.

  544. I'm with you when you can't pay your bills.

  545. I'm with you when you're sick, and sickness attacks your

  546. body and it looks like it don't want to turn

  547. you a loose huh. Have you ever been there sickness?

  548. Look like I just don't want to let you go,

  549. he says. I'm with you. I'm with you when you're

  550. facing an appointment at the courthouse. I'm with you, when

  551. the tests that they took, I'm being analyzed. I'm with you.

  552. When your name is hanging out there on the highway

  553. and they slammed in you. I'm with you. And man, somebody,

  554. you may be in the valley, but he's with you.

  555. Hey, man, even in the valley, he's with you.

  556. In the valley, and in the shadow of death, this

  557. is what theolode just said.

  558. David says in the.

  559. Valley, in the shadow of them. Amen. And the Theolosians

  560. will say, and the and the historians says that they

  561. are not all. But they ain't sure. The Theolosians and

  562. the historians, they ain't really sure who wrote Psalms twenty three,

  563. I said the theologians and the historians. Amen, they are

  564. not sure who is the author. All they know that

  565. is a man who has been in trouble. But we

  566. believe it was the psalm of David. Aymen, See, all

  567. they know about the psalm is a man who had

  568. been in trouble, and God was with him. But we

  569. know it to be David. And David being a shepherd

  570. leading his sheep and all was having and always having

  571. to fight with animals that would attack his sheep. And

  572. he stood up before King Saul and said, one night,

  573. when I was keeping my sheep, a bear came out.

  574. He said, a bear came out of the woods. And

  575. then after the bear, a lion came out. But I

  576. took the bear and killed him with my hands, and

  577. I took the lion and killed him too.

  578. Because the Lord.

  579. Was with him. So most people believe that Psalm's twenty

  580. three is a psalm of David that one night when

  581. he laid his sheep amen out into the grasing land.

  582. To grays and up on the mountain.

  583. The moon was high above and lit up the night,

  584. and up on that mountain was a mountain lion way

  585. up on the mountain, And when the moon lit the

  586. night up, the moon hit the hit the lion that

  587. was on top of the mountain, and there was there

  588. was a reflection of the moon that the light cast,

  589. and that shadow from the lion went down in the valley.

  590. Are you listening, And when the shadow of the lion

  591. from the moon went down in the valley, and as

  592. David is leading his sheep, he sees the shadow, knowing

  593. that the lions represent death. But I heard David saying,

  594. I'm in the valley and the shadow is death. But

  595. I friend no evil, because the Lord is with me.

  596. I see the shadow of death from the lion, but

  597. the Lord is with me. I ain't worried about the

  598. lion because I know that my God will take care

  599. of the lion, because he told me already that he

  600. is my shepherd and I shall not walk. He is

  601. my protector, he is my provider. He is the one

  602. that never leaves me, nor for sakes me. I'm not

  603. worried about this trouble, because why God is with me. See,

  604. when you have a relationship with God and you know

  605. he's with you, what is there to fear? When you

  606. understand that he'll never leave you nor for sake you,

  607. what is there to fear. I don't care what the

  608. court case is. If God step in that court room,

  609. there's nothing an affair. I heard the song.

  610. I heard the the writer say that God can turn

  611. the head of the king like the rivers are flowing

  612. wild in any direction.

  613. That he wants to. So if he turns the head

  614. of the Judge in the direction of you, and for

  615. your faith and for the favor that He bestows upon you,

  616. the judge gonna do with God, tell him to do

  617. for you. If God speaks to your problem, your situation,

  618. God causes it to flow in the direction of his command. Amen,

  619. because he said to you, fear not, I'll never leave

  620. you north for sake you.

  621. You're never alone.

  622. You're never alone. God is always there. So God is

  623. telling the saints of God today, don't look down. Look up.

  624. God is still with you.

  625. Hey, man, give God some praise in this house.

  626. I don't care if it feels lonely. I don't care

  627. if it looks lonely. God is still with you. Don't worry.

  628. If people leave you, don't worry. If they don't want

  629. to help you, don't worry because God will never leave you.

  630. God is your help in trouble times. The Summer says,

  631. I look to the heels, so you got to look

  632. up to with cometh my help. The Bible says, Oh,

  633. good things come from up above. Amen.

  634. Tell the Lord thank you.
