Despite what the world would have you and I think there is no debate over who wrote the book of the Bible we're about to start studying today our Lord Himself Jesus Christ stated very clearly that Moses wrote the book of Exodus which documents the story of the Jewish escape from Egypt Exodus picks up right where Genesis left off and is filled with amazing stories of God's faithfulness to his chosen people a faith on this that still abides to this very day get ready for an exciting dynamic study of one of the most gripping times in Jewish history David is kicking off this series by looking at chapter one with a message titled The affliction of God's people but before he gets into that David wanted to tell you about one of the greater free resources that we offer to you and our hope for today audience David.

Now and David is joining us to kick off his message the affliction of God's people and David starts off with a reminder about where he's teaching from David. Let's take our Bibles and turned it Exodus Chapter one Exodus Chapter one. A Greek name meaning way out not meaning far out but meaning the path out of here. And you can understand why because over and over again when God refers to what happened in Exodus he speaks about how he led his people out of Egypt or out of the house of bondage just the way out interestingly the Hebrew title of this book is indeed opening line which is very true of a lot of books and Hebrew the opening line says Now these are the names. And in Hebrew that's a little phrase way and they should mode and what the Jews do is they just shorten it up and call it should mote So if you really want to show how intelligent you are about the Bible you say let's turn in our Bibles to Shimoda chapter one and watch people try to find it but that's the short Hebrew name for the Book of Exodus and deals with the 1st phrase it simply means these are the names of so let's take a look at the chapter now these are the names of the children of his surreal who came into Egypt every man and his household came with Jacob Reuben Simeon Levy and Judah Issachar Zabulon and Benjamin Dan and nastily Gad and Asher and all the souls that came out of the Lloyd's of Jake upper seventy's souls for Joseph was in Egypt already and Joseph Duncan and all his brother and all that generation. And the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and waxed exceedingly Mighty and the land was filled with them and there rose up a new king over Egypt which knew not Joseph and he said unto his people behold the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we come on let's deal wisely with them lest they multiply and it come to pass that when they're followed out of the war they join also into our enemies and fight against us and so get them up out of the land there for they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens and they built for Pharaoh treasure cities to thumb and Rama seas or rom seas but the more they afflicted them the more they multiplied in group and they were grieved because of the children of Israel and the Egyptians made the children of Israel a servant regular and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage in Mordor and in brick and in all manner of service in the fields all their service wherein they made them serve was with rigor and the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives of which the name of the one was shift rod the name of the other Pula and he said when you do the office of the midwife to the Hebrew women and see them upon the stools if it be a Son then you shall kill him but if it be a daughter then she shall live but the midwives feared God and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them but saved them in children alive. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them Why have you done this thing in and say the men children alive and the midwife said into Pharaoh because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women for they are lively and are delivered ere the midwives come in and do their. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives and the people multiplied and wax very mighty and it came to pass because the midwives feared God that he made them houses and Pharaoh charged dollars people saying every son that is born each of cast into the river and every daughter he shall save alive let's pray Father we pray that in these moments together of study around your word that we will have a worshipping submissive listening heart and we Lord would know what you would have us know that we father would see again how the word of God applies to our own experience and I pray Lord that you would comfort her we know that your people suffered long ago and we suffer now we see the unjust ill treatment of the people of God and we know that still exists teaches the Lord to trust you to know that you have a plan that you're working out for your honor and your glory we praise you Lord Jesus name we pray Amen. While the Jewish hope was the land of Canaan it was an Egypt and both Jacob and Joseph indicated that to their families wanting to be buried in the land of Canaan to even demonstrate by that fact that they believe God's promise that that was ultimately were God was going to take them but God had a plan to take them to Egypt he laid out that plan told his people clearly that he had a plan I guess a thing that startles us about the plan of God in the Book of Exodus is that involve pain and horrible suffering it's like the last thing you want to believe about God from an apologetic point of view when you're witnessing to people that's one of the things they bring up all the suffering in a world where I'm going to be a God of love. And it's interesting it isn't just the world that's concerned about that but it's God's people that are concerned about that the children of Israel cried out to God I mean they were in desperation asking why why. They knew what his promise was a land of Canaan but they were in Egypt how could they have known without divine revelation that they were going to be 400 years in that place incredible. You know a lot of people don't think Moses wrote the book. If you have been to secular college and taken a religion course that refers to the Bible they sometimes refer to a very eclectic approach. Which is called the documentary hypothesis a big name for the fact they think the sources for the 1st 5 books of the Bible are more than Moses and sometimes known by the letters j e d p j for the name Jehovah even the name l o heem d for Deuteronomy and p for precisely sections like Leviticus and others and they think this has come from 4 different sources at least if not more. And there's quite an attack on the mosaic authorship The amazing thing is that when I was in school which was just a couple years ago. This was really the hot teaching and after about 25 years I went over to one of the universities Cal State Long Beach to a religion the partner and I sat in the back because I heard they were still teaching it and I was amazed because there's been a lot of proof to show the mosaic authorship of the Bible from an archaeological point of view and I was amazed it was still teaching that dumb theory named after German named bell housing and still following an old line you know the devil doesn't have a whole lot of new tricks he has a lot of strategies to get us you know defeated in our Christian life but let me tell you in terms of his attack upon the authenticity of the Bible it seems like it's just old arguments and come up a new guard and then Moses write these 1st 5 books of the Bible let's make it more specific did Moses write Exodus you know it's interesting that we have New Testament commentary to that fat turning your Bibles to the book of Mark Chapter 7. Actually diverter acidy of Jesus is at stake here and there are still scholars continuing today to argue that Moses didn't write these books now why is that well because he didn't live until much later than the events that are recorded so it's very hard for them to believe that he had all this information previous to these events occurring so they don't want Moses writing a book while most of us actually lived after most of the events and wrote the book after boast of the events but for some reason it bothers them and I'll tell you I think the reason is that they don't want to believe the chronology of the Bible that is presented on this matter the number one problem with Exodus and the whole toll raw is when did it happen and right away in chapter one we had them building 2 cities called a pathetic and Rama seas and right away everybody thinks it's Rama sees the 2nd to live in the 1200 b.c. Which would be many many years after biblical chronology places the exodus back into the 15th century b.c. Now this is a very important attack against the Bible that you may be listening now and say hey please just just tell me what you believe I like you know I don't care just get on with it or you better care because there is a massive undermining of God's Word in society massive. It comes up in all kinds of ways it isn't just the the new computer division of the new computer edition of the Bible you probably heard about was in the paper where they've taken everything out and now they've made. A politically correct gender neutral Bible Jesus is no longer called the Son of Man he's called the human one which is really insightful but something I mean it's unbelievable how ignorant they are and God of course in the prayer that Jesus made him is called our father mother and you know we don't offend people and you can't say the right hand of God anymore because that offends left handed people you know I mean it is so crazy it's unbelievable and it's being marketed I guess we should be Joyce that any part of the Word of God gets into people's yards but it's crazy but there's a continuing. I guess in more in the intellectual academic world but these scholars are often on top shows an 8th they undermine people's confidence in a Bible in a one of their favorite targets is the 1st 5 books why well because the basic issues of their creation fall flood setter and the whole issue of Exodus in the Passover is a big one a huge one they don't want to believe it happened when the bible said so and it's kind of interesting but. Let me show you how the veracity of Jesus is at stake look at Mark Chapter 7. And verse 10 mark 7 verse 10 Jesus said For most of us said Honor thy father and mother. That's pretty clear isn't Jesus said Moses said that but where is that found that's found in Exodus Chapter 20 verse 12 Moses said Honor thy father and I mother and. Whoso curses father mother let him die the death now that's in chapter 21 of Exodus verse 17 here Jesus quotes 2 verses from Exodus and says Moses said if Jesus said Moses said it I believe Moses said it but he thinks now go over to chapter 12 you know sometimes we stumble over as Paul wrote in Segment his 113 the simplicity of the gospel which are to make it more difficult than it is I think it's clear Moses wrote exodus in Mark chapter 12 verse 24 Jesus answering said into them do you not therefore error because you know not the Scriptures neither the power of God for when they shall rise from the dead need they need their Mary nor given in marriage but are as the angels who are in heaven and as touching the dead that they rise Have you not read in the Book of Moses you just say Moses said it I guess in some other book in the book notice he didn't say one of the books he said in Dubbo look of Moses how in the bush God spoke on to him saying I'm the God of Abraham the God of Isaac the God of Jacob he's not the God of the dead but the God of the living you therefore do greatly err by the it's a tremendous passage I'd love to just kind of digress that one for a while but anyway the point is that's a quotation also from the Old Testament Exodus chapter 3 verse 6 over to Luke to I don't want to overstate the case here but just one more Luke to verse 21 to 24 did Moses write the book of Exodus that's going to have serious implications to a lot of issues as we study the book and I think is no question he did and that the veracity of Jesus is its stake here because Jesus said he did in Luke Chapter 2 verse 21 it says what 8 days were accomplish is dealing with Jesus. His birth and Mary Joseph when 8 days were accomplished for the circumcision the child his name was called Jesus who was so named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb and when the days of her purification according to the Law of Moses were accomplished they brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord as it is written in the law of the Lord every male that opened at the womb shall be called holy to the Lord and offer a sacrifice according to that which is set in the law of the Lord a pair of turtledoves or 2 young pigeons which was a provision for people who were poor which tells you Jesus did not grow up in wealth now here is a direct quotation from Exodus chapter. 13 and verse 2 a direct quotation of what Moses said the Law of Moses and is it interesting that if you compare verse $22.23 The Law of Moses is called the law of the what the Lord amen can we say case closed. Amen Moses wrote the book tries to tell you differently you turn in these passages say your battle is with Jesus. He wasn't telling the truth that he was a line if he didn't know this that he isn't who he claims is incredible but there are a lot of people who believe that about the way there are other passages like Hebrews 11232278 is clearly quoting it as Moses and the whole story of what happened to Moses which is record in the Book of Exodus now there's a key commentary in the Bible on The Book of Exodus a lot of people have run right by it maybe haven't thought of it except that Christmas time let me show you go to the book of Hosea Daniel Hosea Joel Amos Hosea . Right after Daniel and look at Chapter 11 of Hosea. Which is a very important biblical commentary on the significance and the theme of Exodus Hosea chapter 11 verse one it says when Israel was a child then I loved him talking about when the nation was just getting started and called my son meeting my child Israel out of what Egypt so the whole name Exodus meaning the way out is developed from it's a book of redemption and deliverance of getting out from under the bondage but it's interesting that this verse comments on God's plan as it relates to the Book of Exodus when Israel was a child that I loved him and called my son out of Egypt and boy I read that and hard just leapt because the whole book of Exodus is a lot of pain a lot of suffering a lot of affliction a lot of oppression and God says oh no no no no no you misread it it's a statement of my love for my people Boy is that special or what is the Exodus you're going to learn that God loves you so by it's he knows what you're like but he loves you anyway and that great to know now we've got something else though talk about a special verse it not only tells us about God's loving relationship to Israel as they were born like a little child he's speaking of their history is growing up and he called them out of Egypt well turn pleased to Matthew Chapter 2 and look at what this does with this passage Matthew Chapter 2 and look at versus 13 to 15 Matthew Chapter 2 verses 13 to 50. This is talking about Mary and Joseph and it says when they were departed behold the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying Arise and take the young child in his mother and sleep into what Egypt and be thou there until I bring the word for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him besides Pharaoh saw to destroy the children of this room the Son of God .

Talked about him in relation to song 51 on Sunday and so that was just today 2 days before and how no one wanted anything to do with him this is Michael English after his fall but God through Bill Gaither stepped into Michael's life and helped restore his life I'm sure you've listened to the Gaither song clean and I have played that on the program on greatly blast highly favored album and it ties in with Psalm 5110 Now this is the chapter that King David wrote after he had sent a letter to kill Bathsheba's husband and also to a to have sex with her and so then saw he wrote a song 32 and Psalm 51 and some 5110 says created me a clean heart over God and Renu a right spirit in me King David knew that he served a god that was a forgiving God and that's so important to no friend and Archie goes on to say you can Google it and see the video of it and yes you can you can go to youtube and google for the album greatly blessed by the Gaither Vocal Band and go to clean and it's a song about how God forgives us all praises name forever and ever and a thank you Archie for that e-mail he says May the Lord continue to use you in my 80 Ways Barbara thank you so much and it's so exciting seeing God's army coming together to help encourage and defend Jack Phillips Yes it is and I'm excited it's going to be a great time I have over a $1000.00 now that's coming in and I think that's pretty good for him today and after 6 grueling years the Supreme Court vindicated Phillips in a $7.00 to $2.00 decision it declared that Colorado acted with clear and impermissible hostility towards his sincere religious beliefs and that's a 1st Amendment if he comes against you for your religion. Or for what you're saying you can stand on that 1st amendment the Supreme Court held that the state of Colorado manifested its anti-religious hostility by disparaging Philip's religion describing it as despicable and enforcing a double standard that harshly punishes Philips while exonerating other cake artists who similarly decline requests for cakes with messages they deem objectionable Now if you go into one of these cake these bakers and you sound want to I want to cake with you know Cross or whatever it is on there and they say no we can't do that you're going to have to walk out or file a suit see I think the rot the right or the conservatives have been so kind that they'd they'd ask God to take care of them they take as God to be their Vindicator they ask God for justice and they don't go to the extremes the left is going to and I'll tell you what friend because we do serve a mighty God who is judge over all they're going to get there's our left governor even said that Mr Phillips should respect other religions now since when are homosexuality and transgender religions I can't imagine what this man is talking about this beautiful state has turned into a pig sty because of the left that has drugged down the great people of Colorado into a dirty and unimaginable sewer and Mr Hickenlooper wants to run for president God have mercy on our souls in the meantime some Colorado citizens in Bolden by the state's persecution of Phillips have targeted him on the same day that the Supreme Court announced it would hear his case of Colorado lawyer one lawyer called his shop and requested a cake designed with a blue exteriors and a pink Interior which the color said would visually depict and celebrate a gender transition and this was to persecute him directly if you were. Like to give to Jack Phillips you can send a check to see this is wins day you can still get a check there by Friday I will prob probably be sending the check on Friday afternoon but probably better yet you can actually write a check or you can go to Alliance Defending Freedom website and donate there on behalf of Jack Phillips. You know I so agree with is giving donations and being generous towards him because some day it might be against you or it might be against me and I want the body of Jesus Christ to come together on my behalf and so I appreciate so much your generous giving if you would like to send a generous check directly to Alliance Defending Freedom their address is 15100 North 90th Street Scottsdale Arizona 85260 again that address for Alliance Defending Freedom 15100 north 98 st Scottsdale Arizona 852-6060 thank you thank you and God bless you and thank you for praying for protection for President Trump we need to get a border wall built when I heard about precious Molly her body was found in a cornfield and she was murdered by an illegal alien and I'm getting sick of listening to this and hearing this and I'll tell you people from other countries have not grown up with the standards that people in the United States have they have no idea well I'm sure inside deep inside they know the difference between right and wrong but not having any moral standards at all they they go out and if they can't get what they want they're there they're dead and that's what he wanted he had stalked Molly and he wanted her and I'm sure she put. A fight. God bless that family thank you Father God for blessing that precious family who are full of sorrow right now and we pray Father God that you will find a way in all this mess that we can we can secure our borders and keep them free from these people coming over the criminal elements coming over and killing precious innocent people. So sad you know even I forget her name but in San Francisco she was just walking on the pier with her dad and here was this illegal alien and he shot her I do not understand that folks I do not so thank you for. Asking the Lord for freedom for our president and vice president and the cabinet and for understanding and counsel in might so that they can make the wisest decisions on our behalf. First John 5 cannot just think about it just think for a moment in heaven there will be none of this no crimes no sin. I just can't imagine a world free from all of that and then besides that there will be no duster or anything like that phrase God Oh praise the Lord memory verse for this week is 1st John 514 and 15 this is the confidence I have before you Lord that if I ask anything according to your will you hear me and if I know that you hear me I know that I have those requests that I have asked of you thank you Father God thank You that you are keeping your people safe you're keeping your people full of hope and faith that you're going to come through as the Vindicator of all that is wrong in Jesus' name well Day 336 the call up. And it ca l a h but I googled for a pronunciation and it's like cola it's Cola and we journeyed to one of the deserts tent villages with which the teacher was very familiar but one I had never been to before do you see the woman there said the teacher with long wavy hair dressed in brown and black she's the bride but she's not the same as the other I remarked there is more than one bride among these villages and this one is at the end of her weight w a i t soon it will be her wedding day and that's why she was dressed in brown and black It wasn't her day it do you remember how to say bride in Hebrew Koha I replied Yes said the teacher but I never told you what it meant the word cola contains a mystery it doesn't only mean bride what else then I asked cola also means the perfect one the perfect one but if in the ministry were the bride and the bridegroom is God shouldn't it be the bridegroom who is called The Perfect One that's the point said the teacher we're born to be the bride but we're not born as the bride no overt or not we're born imperfect and subject to imperfection throughout our lives but we're to become the cola the perfect one when we say yes to the bridegroom in the New Birth and we become perfect becoming a bride is about being joined to a bridegroom so becoming a cola is about being joined to God the more we join our hearts and lives to God the more we become the cola the perfect one in Him and in our joining to him is found our perfection remember that friend in him and you can read that any fees in is one and in our joining to him is found our perfection not what we do not are works on. This earth but who we are in Christ Jesus and you know what else call a means it means that completed one to be completed is to be perfect but then how can we ever be perfect if we can only be completed at the end. Of this so God the bridegroom and that's a capital b. The bridegroom looks at the bride and sees her as she will be God looks at you and sees what he made you to become and as you will become and the bride must see herself in the eyes of the bridegroom You must see yourself in the eyes of God and that God will complete his work yes he will for the works of God are perfect even the cola the bride and I was thinking of full Libyan's one verse 6 for I am confident of this very thing that he who began a good work in you will perfect it or complete it until the day of Christ Jesus isn't that beautiful Philippians 16 that's for you today friend it truly is so he sees us through the righteousness of Christ Jesus and if you go to 2nd Corinthians 5 verse 21 you'll see that he who knew no sin became sin on your behalf that you might become Watt the righteousness of God in Christ he sees you as righteous so at the bottom of day 336 identify and marry every imperfect part of your life to the bridegroom let him fill in all that is missing see yourself in the eyes of his love as the perfect one Isaiah 623 through 5 says the Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see a splendid crown in the hand of God Never again will you be called the Forsaken city or the desolate land and this is referring to Jerusalem specifically and also to Israel. Well your new name will be the city of God's delight. And the bride of God for the Lord delights in you and will claim you as his bride your children will commit themselves to you oh Jerusalem just as a young man commits himself to his bride then God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride is a beautiful Isaiah 62 Verse 3 through 5 Matthew 548 says but you are to be perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect. Thats Matthew $548.00 so that's what he's expanding expecting out of us he sees us as righteous but he wants us to become holy as he is holy in word and deed and thought and that's when we allow that beautiful spirit that comes from Holy Spirit who is living in us how when it takes control over our mind and our soul then we have a chance to be perfect on this earth yes we do efficiency 521 through 33 and we're so familiar with this but I'm going to read it again and further submit to one another out of reverence for Christ for wives This means submit to your husbands as to the Lord for a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church he is the savior of His Body the Church as the church submit to Christ so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything for husbands This means love your wives just as Christ loved the church he gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean washed by the cleansing of God's word he did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spotter wrinkle or any other blemish Instead she will be holy and without fault in the same way husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies for a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself no one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it just as Christ cares for the church and we are members of his body as the Scriptures say a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife and the 2 are united into 11 flesh this is a great mystery but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one so again I say each man must love his wife as he loves himself and the wife must respect her husband and I was looking up this scripture in 1st Corinthians 7. And it says let the husband this is 1st Corinthians 7 verse 3 let the husband fulfill his duty to his wife and likewise also the wife to her husband the wife does not have authority over her own body but the husband does and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body but his wife does stop depriving one another and we see a lot of that in marriages nowadays you know when you want to get even with your husband or your wife you deprive them of having sex and that's a beautiful part of the marriage that's a beautiful wonderful part of uniting those 2 into one and I am so blessed that I had that let's go to Romans 122 and be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is what is the will of God for you that which is good and acceptable and perfect. And 1st Corinthians 130 many of you know this verse already Jesus has become for us wisdom from God righteousness redemption and sanctification friend he's done it all for you and you can enjoy every good and perfect gift from him because Jesus has accomplished it when he said it is finished it was finished Revelation 19 7th through 8 what a beautiful verse this is let us rejoice and be glad and give all the glory to Him for the marriage of the Lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready and it was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen bright and clean for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints while I'll tell you when you are one with another person when you become one flesh in marriage you feel so comfortable that there are no secrets between you there aren't and I knew that I knew that married to 2 marvelous men that there were no secrets between us and so. Therefore we could be open and honest and close and intimate feeling at home in their presence and it's just like feeling at home in the presence of Jesus needed and happy and free you couldn't have told me I'd find what I found contentment and peace from above feeling at home in the presence of Jesus laying way back in His Love you can feel that comfortable with Jesus Friend warming yourself by the fires of his spirit camping right close to the throne feeling at home. Feel an at home in the presence of Jesus I'll tell you when we see the bridegroom and. It's going to be the most miraculous thing that we will ever see but probably the absolute. Greatest kind of love that you could ever imagine we've seen his kind of love between a husband and a wife who truly love each other and there's nothing between them when we see Jesus is just going to be supernatural phrase God I'm glad I have a few minutes here I want to get ended 1st John for I'm reading through 1st John and slur away enjoying it Beloved do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false false prophets have gone out into the world. When you hear something you ask Holy Spirit Holy Spirit is this person for real what they're saying can I believe that can I take this as truth Holy Spirit will let you know because there are many spirits out there and John goes on to say by this you know the Spirit of God Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God and this is the spirit of anti-Christ of which you have heard that it is coming and now is already in the world well if it was already in the world when John was writing this in 1st John you know that the devil is out to make this whole country believe in lies and deception and that's why it's so important that you wash your hands on behalf of President Trump I'll tell you the lies they're just swirling around trying to get you hooked into believing something that is total hoax that book by Greg Jarrett is just a Absolutely great book if you want to find out well maybe you don't want to find out about all the corruption that's going on in this country but I am so grateful that God brought in a man like Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton getting to the presidency I'll tell you that womyn woman is so crooked and I understand now why Jonathan Kohn In his book The paradigm calls her jazz a bell because I'll tell you the actions that she has taken in colluding with Russia talk about somebody colluding with Russia it was Hillary and Bill Clinton not Donald Trump and so we see this anti-Christ spirit I mean it full blown right now in this world you are from God Little children and have overcome them because Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world where is the address 1st John 44 and they are from the world therefore they speak as from the world and the world listens to them the world is listening to them. But we have a. Better word we have the gospel of truth we are from God He who knows God listens to us and he was not from God does not listen to us I know that every day that I get e-mails I get calls you know Barbara you are full of be full of it and so I have got to say Father God thank you for making it clear to me Who are the ones I listen to and who are the ones I hang up on and I delete off of my emails Absolutely I do that every day by this we know the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error Beloved let us love one another for love is from God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God the one who does not love does not know God For God is love beloved if God so loved us we also ought to love one another no one has beheld God at any time so guess who is a representative of God on this earth you are I am because no one has seen God It goes on to say God is love and the one who abides in love abides in God and God abides in him by this we know that love is perfected that we may have confidence in the day of judgment because as he is capital h. As he is so are we in this world there is no fear in perfect love there is no fair in love for perfect love casts out all fear that is verse 18 of 1st John for there is no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear that's why you know when you're married to that person that God has given to you there is no fear in that relationship there never was in both marriages that I've had on this earth there has been no fear I have been able to go to them and speak to them in honesty and clarity and they've listened to me I'll tell you what friend you need to pray for that perfect love in your relationship when. Every day as in God will bring that God bless you it's been so good being with you today remember Jack Phillips and send a generous offering to the alliance in and I know God is going to bless you for that I'll see you tomorrow.
