Now the question is where will you spend eternity its decision that determines destiny I was on the streets of Pensacola Florida witnessing I saw 2 girls walking down the street they did not know me I did not know them but I stopped them and said man have a few moments with you they said yes I share the gospel with them both were obviously on the conviction I asked them one by one that they would pray and receive Christ as the 1st girl would you like to receive the Lord Jesus Christ she said yes I would and we prayed and she gave a hard to Christ turn to the 2nd young lady expecting her to make the same decision because she was obviously on the conviction I said now would you like to give your hard to Jesus Christ she said well I need to but I don't want to do it right now and I said well if you know what you need to do and the Lord stands ready to save you there's no reason why you would not do it right now is that she said I'm just not ready I said Behold now as they accepted time today's the day of salvation you can give your heart to Jesus she said no I'm not ready and she said defiantly and I knew then I should not press the point beyond that point because then I would be manipulating her but I said all right then I pray that you will do it but before I go would you shake my hand she said obviously yes I said all right if you take Christ eternal life would you take my right hand I said if you take the devil in me turn to hell would you take my left hand she said what I said you said you shake hands and I said if you will take Jesus in eternal life will you take my right hand if you take the devil made turn old pale when you take my left hand. She stepped back she said I'm going to shake hands with you. I said well you said you would. And she said Well I'm not going to choose the devil and eternal hell I said well you're either going to say yes Jesus or no to Jesus and Jesus said He that is not with me is against me and he that gathered not with me scatter the broad. What now when you shake hands with me she backed away she said I'm not going to shake hands with you Mr I just don't want to decide but the point is if a person decides not to decide that is the decision is he we're free to choose we're not free not to choose and we're not free to choose the consequences of our choices and so what I want to talk to you about is the decisions of the living and the destiny of the dead now you're going to die I'm going to only intervening factor that might keep that from happening is the 2nd coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and people die and all kinds of strange ways I mean you know Lynch was walking down the streets of New York City. Down the street. When a flower pot fell off a ledge in a upper story building this flower pot fell off an 8th floor window ledge it was struck by lightning the flowerpot was hit Amir you know on the head and she died instantaneously Can you imagine that walking down the streets of New York City. Struck on the head by a flower pot I read again about how only Duncan Howley Duncan was mowing his grass his children and his wife while watching him suddenly he grabbed his side and fell to the ear and he was dead his more had picked out a half inch piece of wire no bigger than a pencil lead it was driven into his heart and killed him instantly and the Philippines Carlos' own goals was fishing he opened his mouth to Yong. And a fish jumped into his mouth. It's funny but not if you caught us. They were not able to take that fish from his mouth he strangled to death Here's a man yawning. The next moment. Strangler. The Bible says what is your life. But a vapor that appears for little while and then vanishes away and I said that people die in many ways and people die in strange ways but in reality the only 2 ways to die take your Bible and look here in Revelation Chapter 14 look in verse 13 and here is what is says and I heard a voice from heaven saying and to me right Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth the ace if a spear that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them when you die if you're going to die in the Lord or out of the Lord people die in strange ways but really there's only 2 ways to die if you died today would you die in the Lord I would you die of a void if you die in the Lot of course obviously God says Blessed are the dead was dying the Lord contrariwise what a curse what a song or what a tragedy for you to die outside the Lord Jesus Christ now if you were to die today where would you may know the question if you get to where you're headed where will you be. Loved ones will weep for my silent face dear ones will Class me in sad embrace shadows and darkness will fill the place 5 minutes after I died faces that sorrow. I will not see voices that murmur will not reach me but where only Where will my spirit be 5 minutes after I die naught to repair the good I like fixed to the goal of my chosen trike no room very pent. No turning back 5 minutes after I die I'm mated for ever with my chosen for all along is eternity oh so long been wos me if my soul be wrong 5 minutes after I die now remember 5 minutes from now you may be in heaven or you may be in hell. There is the destiny of the dead now the 3 things I want you to notice as we look in this chapter there's much in this chapter and I've tried to boil it down very simply 1st of all I want you to see the character of those who are led by the lamb the character of those who are led by the lamb and now we're going to meet here in chapter 14 again that 144000 of all the tribes of Israel and these are they that follow the Lamb let's begin to read here the 1st 5 verses and I looked and lo lamb stood on the Mount Zion and with him and 144000 having their father's name written in there for us and I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters and the voice of a great thunder and I heard the voice of Harpers harping with their harps and they song as it were a new song before the throne and before the 4 beasts and the elders and no man could learn that song but the 144000 which were redeemed from the earth these are they which were not defiled with women for they are virgins these are they which follow the lamb with us so ever he goes These were redeemed from among men being the 1st fruits under God and to the Lamb and in their mouth was found no guile for they are without fall before the throne of God Now $144000.00 who are led by the lamb they follow the lamb Now these are they who are special they've been set aside to serve Revelation Chapter 7 calls them the servants of our great God and I want you to see their character I want you to see how they are described these who are led by the lamb because they have made it ways picture of those of us today who believe in the Lamb of God Although these are tribulation Saints the events that I'm talking about take place after. The rapture of the church let me tell you 5 or 6 things about these people number one they are secure in their protection look and verse one and you're going to see that they are sealed they have the father's name on their Farid they have been saved and they have been sealed now a seal and the symbolism stands for protection it stands for possession it stands for preservation these are sealed by the Lord where you say Pastor Raj is it would be wonderful if I were sealed that way well let me give you a verse for your margin if he jps one verse 13 speaking to those of us who live in this dispensation and whom you also trusted that is Jesus after that you heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation and whom all so after that he believed ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit problems now for him whether you are tribulation saint or whether you're saying in this age thank God we have been saved and sealed can you say amen you know that 144001 Mt Zion I'm glad it doesn't say there 143999 not a one of them is lost nowhere in the Bible where you ever find where a person who is truly saved ever loses his or her salvation why because they are sealed by the Spirit and what God is sealed the king seal can no man break you're looking at a man who is saved and sealed and will be delivered and so will you that some people think well you know you give your heart to God But then the devil can take out of God's hands do you think you could before and if you could why hasn't it be a strange doctrine wouldn't the devil could but it didn't hasn't he been nice to you so you're going to heaven by the goodness of the devil No The only reason he can't take you out is doesn't take you out is because he can't these people are secure in their protests. That's the 1st thing number 2 they are same deal or in their praise they have a very special praise look in verses 2 and 3 and I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters the voice of a great thunder and I heard the voice of Harpers harping with their hearts and they sung as it were a new song before the throne and before the 4 beast and the elders Now the 4 beasts of the creatures the represent the attributes of God The altars represent the saved all of the ages and this 144000 is a special group apart from these and they sing a song that no man could learn that song and no man could learn that song but the $144000.00 which were redeemed from their now these 144000 saved Jews have a very special song that they saying but the Bible says here it's a new song now 2 words for a new one word for new means new and time the other means new and character now the word that's used here is a song that means new in character they have a song because of their own special experience that nobody else can sing but less supply that to us friend I have a song that you can't sing and you have a song that I can saying to every person Jesus is extra special is that not right we have our own song Jesus means things to me that I cannot tell you about what man knows the things oh man except the spirit of man that is in him but thank God for the song and by the way there Harper is harping in these people saying the Bible says let everything that hath breath praise the Lord now they're secure in their protection they are saying you are in their praise they have a special song they are separated in their purity look if you will in verse 4 and these are they which were not defiled with women for their virgins these are they which follow the lamb with us wherever he goes These were redeemed from among men being the 1st fruits under God into the lamb Now what does this mean are they not defy. Well this is not against getting married I'm glad for that no he's talking here and symbolism these are people who are spiritually undefiled remember Satan's Falls Church is called the harlot we're going to find later own in the book the revelation a scarlet moment who represents false religion and so these people all those who have not defiled themselves spiritually I think you can understand it if you just fast forward diverse a to look at it and their fall of another angel saying Babilon is fallen is fallen that great city because she made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication now he's talking here about spiritual fornication these people are spiritually they are virgins they are true to the Lamb they are true to the Lord Jesus Christ they have not defiled themselves as the reason James said in James 4 verse 4 speaking in symbolic language Jeannie adult for as an adulterous is no you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God He calls them spiritual adulterers are you saying bring them to leaven verse 2 Paul said to the church for I'm jealous over you with a godly jealousy for I have a spouse due to one husband that I may present you as a chase virgin the Christ that's the kind of language that we're using here question. Are you spiritually pure spirit sure you a virgin. I do you have an undefiled love for the Lord Jesus Christ would you disgrace the Lord Jesus I'd rather die by torture than be unfaithful to my darling bride but I think I'd rather die by torture than be unfaithful to my heavenly bridegroom the Lord Jesus Christ Now here's the 4th thing they are steadfast in their purpose notice again in verse 4 these are they which follow the lamb whether So every He knows how they are marked by loyalty to the Lamb no rival no refusal no restraint Do you have loyalty to the Lamb are you steadfast in your purpose these are the number 5 their symbolic in their prophecy look in the last part of verse 4 their 1st fruits under God and through the land now in this rail there was a feast during harvest time called the feast of firstfruits they would take the 1st ripening grain bring it to the temple have a ceremony because the 1st fruits typified the harvest that is to come these are 144000 but there 144000 apostle Paul who are going to be preaching the gospel around the world and Revelation Chapter 7 verse 9 we've already dealt with it tells us that there are millions and millions are going to come to Christ during the Great Tribulation I may read that verse and after this I beheld and lo a great multitude which no man could number that is friend you couldn't count them of all nations and can ribs and people and tongue stood before the throne and before the lamb clothed with white robes and palms and their hands palm branches saying Hosanna to the Lord now why because these who are pro tech to who are sealed these who follow the lamb wherever he goes these who are spiritually pure are going to have a testament to for the Lord Jesus Christ now millions are going to be saved in the Great Tribulation you say what I pastor Raja's Then I'll wait if the Rapture takes place then I'll get say no you won't. You will believe the lies of enterprise that talked about that before and I'll talk about it some more but I can find not one shred of hope for anybody in the Bible who is willingly knowingly deliberately refused Jesus Christ as his or her personal savior being saved in the Great Tribulation However there will be multiplied millions who will be saved and thank God for that now number 6 they are sincere and their profession look if you will in verse 5 and in their mouth was found no god. There without fault before the throne of God What does it mean no guile feel like guile is Godless hypoxia these are people who know the truth believe the truth tell the truth speak the truth and live the truth they will not be mouthing during the Great Tribulation the slogans of the beast mouse Ailsa your words are going to condemn you are they going to justify you and so 1st of all we find those who are led by the Lamb of God It Now let's move to the 2nd thing here not only those who are led by the lamb and the character of those who are led by the lamb but less think a little bit about the corruption all those who are boss by the bs now and the Great Tribulation you're either going to do it by the lamb or balls by the beast the beast is then test asis of the land the lamb is the Christ the beast is the anti-Christ Satan Superman who's going to come on the world and may be alive and well on earth right now and when the church is raptured taken out which could happen and in a moment then the beast appears on the scene the boss of the world I began reading in verse 6 and I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people saying with a loud voice Fear God and give glory to Him for the hour of his judgment is come and worship Him that made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of waters . And there followed another angel saying Babylon is fall in that great city because she has made all nations drink of the wine of a raft of her fornication Now there's an angel who flies in the midst of the heaven and he preaches the everlasting gospel now in this dispensation angels do not preach the Gospel and this dispensation of the gospel is preached to be preached by made by you by others like a certain will not be preached but in the Great Tribulation God in mercy gives one last final call to the Gentile and an angel himself. Says come out of her come out of Babylon Now this angel is going to be preaching the gospel some people say this is a different gospel I know it's not a different gospel why. But in your margin Galatians chapter one verse says 6 through 9 Paul said I marvel that you are so soon removed from him they called you into the grace of Christ on to another gospel which is not another but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ but though we are an angel from heaven breach any other gossip run to you than that which we have preached on to you let him be a curse as we said before so sad now again if any man preach any other gospel on to you than that you have received let him be a curse Paul said if an angel appears in the heavens and preaches any other gospel than that which I preach down to you the curse of God his own and so I know there's only one gospel and it is the saving gospel and it is the gospel of grace by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God Not of works lest in a man should vote. In the middle of this lesson on the end times I think it's appropriate to ask have you experienced that Grace do you know your sins are forgiven have you received the gift of salvation that God has freely offering you by trusting comply.

God is good and His mercies endure forever I'm Larry netting him and this is all it is a lie and our ministry sponsored by your faithful listeners Let's join our pastor Robin Holland and see what message the Lord has put on his heart today. Jesus commanded in the great commission to go and make disciples and failure to do so is actually rebellion against God there is a sign out there that talks about sharing your faith in the hallway and it says to us that the commission to share our faith is not a request it's a command. And sank you got to get excited about sharing your faith put you on the spot since then how did you feel when you share the gospel and the Holy Spirit brought him to the Lord and I was exhilarated I was I was blessed because it left me more than I don't know more than bless him but I was excited when a man as the mailman left our building and I'm not exaggerating he left that building like this yes. Yes and we wander around he's in the lobby go out the door yes yes so I. Sent success is living and sharing Jesus Christ. It's sharing the gospel and trusting God for the results success therefore is not bringing someone the christ is not winning someone to Christ success is sharing and there's a says the Libyan since we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us then we need to be willing to do this not only that Scripture tells us in Zachariah the for. The 6 verse it shows us that it's not by Mike it's not by power but it's by God's Spirit so yet the Lord God does this by His Spirit not by how clever you are but I'm afraid my what my friends might think. Saints gone told us not to be afraid because he told us that we will share in some of his suffering he said Don't get confused if I am persecuting So will you be persecuted not only that you know that scripture in Matthew 5 to 12 we say it all the time here I'll say it the way that it said from this pulpit reach your house and be exceeding in God for great is your reward in the King you will have you here not all the time do you really what comes before what are you rejoicing Oh well let me help you blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed are you when men shall reap foul you and persecute you and say all manner of evil why can't you falsely for my sake rejoice and be exceedingly glad that you know you are rejoicing for the opportunity to be persecuted what you share Jesus Christ and know that if you. I'm so excited. I can't be hated on because the my face thanks we can't be afraid can't be afraid of what other people my say what we have to do is share the Gospel and we have to trust God with the results because ultimately this is God's business you may think you don't know enough it's Ok God will use whatever you know just keep growing in the Lord don't get a twisted study to show that I self approve the scripture and Timothy It doesn't mean go get a similar degree then you can witness it means study know what you're talking about and then tell full it's not really that hard I've shared with you before one of my best lead ins is where do you worship you worship somewhere in the city No I don't worship anywhere in the city Oh have you ever worship you have any spiritual beliefs Oh dear we go we're starting a 5 diagnostic questions which are listed behind your notes in your bulletin of the sermon so turn over and you will see the 5 diagnostic question so you will have them with you all the time we won't talk about them till next week but you will have them there a man. So there is no excuse I'm afraid of losing my friends and relatives what a question that is exactly what relationship do you have with your friends and relatives now if them knowing that you love Jesus causes them to no longer associate with you what is your relationship with them wow it's amazing to me there's times when I will walk into a room and so funny it's funny to me because I used to drink is one of those funny in me I walk into a room I'll be back east the visiting some rather too I walk in the room and they hide and Bob. It was up underneath the chu Oh hey he. Didn't know you could come. Till the somebody would have some. Dinner careful who you know why you all even under the table why you how can you drink in fact what you're drinking. What you've got have no move gone oh yes the drink and the same job injury. Don't be afraid of losing friends be more free that God is not pleased with your. Don't grieve the Holy Spirit instead do things that bring God glory go ahead and share Jesus Christ amen now saying what we also need to do is what we're talking about in the new fusions 119 is that we have to yield to the power of the Holy Spirit and in youth into the power of the Holy Spirit we have to understand what that means and I really don't think we understand that we have the Holy Spirit going to place the spirit in us it changes our identity as the reading in the handouts I've given you say it is God's will warn us it's his promise to we comes back and claims what belongs to Him The Holy Spirit changes our identity it gives us life we are spiritually dead more born into this world because Adam fell in Genesis 5 says everybody born after Adam was born in His image and his likeness no longer in the image of God and the likeness of God And so we walk around with. A spirit in us that the dead were Deal way on birth and we need a life somebody called the church last week and said they were concerned because they saw a sign that said Use didn't die for our sin and he died to give us life. And we have to explain to him Bill really that's true Jesus died to give us life the thing we need with life if he died just for your sin you're going to sin the morrow he died so that God could give you his spirit the past so how can that be true because this through Jesus death that we are justified and we're righteous and without those 2 elements the spirit can't live up in the sinful thing I go with me and so what we have to understand is that there is a power that is given to us by the spirit that we take for granted and we don't fully utilize look at verse 19 a many physicians one he says and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe according to the working of his mighty power so we know we have exceeding great power by God's Spirit but did you know that it's this power verse 20 which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand and heavenly place don't we understand that we have the same power that raised the Jesus from the grave living inside of us as born again believers. That's what the Scripture says the same power will pass the how do you not because the Spirit of God is the spirit of by which God does all his work and script if you're here Seth then it's the same power to raise the keys us and we have it. It's in us well what's it doing to us well for some of us is chilling. It's Chaman because we do not give the spirit opportunity in our lives to be impactful by using us as a witness God has called us who are parade in this power he is he has called us to use this power and to get past some of our stuff and I'm here to tell you we struggle with that we struggle big time in your handouts if you look under such a number to page 2 you're going to see this struggle. And notice notice how close it is what they excuse is that Moses had Moses told God that he didn't have the position or stature to approach a powerful Pharaoh that's Moses excuse and Exodus $311.12 are excuse the minister will be the best person to go to my neighbor who has lost ministers are trained people respect ministers don't believe them how is that different from oh this excuse Moses Excuse number 2 Moses told God that people wouldn't have a way to know that he was speaking from the true God of Israel he didn't know enough about God to convince the people aren't you I don't know enough about doctrine and how to explain things about God to a last person somebody who is deeply spiritual and knows a lot about God should go to my last relative Moses excuse Moses told God that the people wouldn't believe a store we say a lost person wouldn't see any reason in my life to believe my witness now that might be true they may know you and they may say I didn't even know you went to church let alone trying to tell me about Jesus and I've heard you use some non Jesus words last week. So that part might be true the last person won't see any reason my life to believe my witness of God saving grace and care somebody who has had a miracle in their life will be the best person Moses excuse Moses told God that because he was in the good speaker good talkies leaders say the right thing are excuse I don't do a good job talking about spiritual things with other people I might say the wrong thing or just confuse my law for it most as if you please Lord send somebody you know our excuse to say. Something. And find Leaman or film on it says I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith so that you will have a 4 understanding of every good thing we have and grok Thanks There's nothing like obedience obedience allows us to experience God in a powerful way not only that don't you know we're in partnership with gone don't you know that our heart is obedience and his part is power we're in partnership with God and if we go to open our mouths how can God work through us well they can see my goodness we're. Seeing your good works doesn't explain to them that they need to accept Jesus Christ what if you did say to fellow How can I know what Scripture says unless somebody explains it to me somebody has got to be willing to explain it and it doesn't take alone took me 5 minutes but the young girl would says that's not present 2 weeks ago in the office . She knew Jesus. Says then the kid it didn't take all day. But is our number one charge and it's the number one thing that we fail on on a yearly basis and saying not to be a man since one partnership the power is always available what kind of power the power to raise the kids those according the 1st night game is always available but we are not. Lassally the power of prayer God said to us when you pray don't just use vain repetitions words book pray your heart the 1st thing that God wants us to do is the 1st John 51415 he wants us to pray God's will be done don't be afraid to pray that don't be afraid to pray that God's will be done Jesus pretty good if he can pray it we can pray and some people will tell you don't pray God's will be done instead tell God take authority and tell God Now how to sound this is god of the universe God of all creation and I am a finite being living in a temporary world and I can't even find my car key. And I'm going to tell God what to do in the future no the scripture there is clear it says to us that we are to ask God according to his will if you do that you can have confidence not confidence is that God will hear you. And that same scripture it says and this is the confidence that we have in him that if we asked him to thing according to His will He hears us and if we know that he hears us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we desire of him and it only makes sense God will bring to pass what he will. Why not pray why not pray the Scriptures why not pray his direction we want to pray for all kind of stuff we want to pray that we have been dolled would give us we want to lay hands on the sick and have them be healed we want to speak in tongues we want to interpret tones we want to pray all this stuff how about bringing God's next step in our lives how about just praying for the day for in the day it's enough even when the day according to Scripture we can't even handle today we're projecting out. Matthew 6 and 7 says but when you pray use not they repetitions of the heathen put it think that they should be heard for their much speaking be not therefore like on to them for your father knows what things you have need of. Saints verse $21.00 says that God has raised Jesus so far above all principality these empowers the mind and dominion and every name that is named not only in this age but also the age to come he's put all the things under his feet and gave him to be head over all things to the church which is his body the fullness of him who feels all in all God wants you to pray without ceasing you want you to pray from your heart he wants you to pray with your own words and he never wants you to forget that in New York you are his witnesses I am his witness we are the world's example of his church. And if we're bad example then that reflects on him and if we're good example then and brings him the glory so we have to be willing What does that look like Pastor we've got to be willing to admit that we've committed the sin of silence and we've got to be willing to say noble or we're going to speak up and we've got to be willing to say whatever the Spirit leads me to do I want to do not by my might not by my power but by your spirit we need to be willing to say no more excuses I'm not insane something is waiting to happen inside of those that know you if I know one of you and if I'm not say I should be in good hands because I would know sooner or later you're going to get around to telling me about the joy you have in you and how you got I know you know why I know that because you love me because you care about and you care about my future their friends their family members their coworkers that are waiting on you they're waiting on you to put down your fear they're waiting on you to find some time and they want to be say I asked the one person in the office I said if you died today would you go to heaven or hell they said oh I go to hell I said What makes you so sure because I haven't accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior Let me show you how to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior Don how is that for God leading someone just saying I'm only altar slay me Lord I am no resistance.

So does civil government still matter to God. Hi this is Dave's not let's talk about it today on the public square. Humankind has been arguing about the sacred of the secular for so long as we can imagine all kinds of interpretations about Jesus saying render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's the God the things that are God the passage from Romans $131.00 about civil authority about Jesus talking to pilots saying My kingdom is not of this world and all of those passages have meaning in their context they're all true they're all true truth but they all fold under one other thing that Jesus said in the Great Commission all authority in heaven and earth all authority everywhere has been given to me therefore go and make disciples of all the nations. Jesus said that all authority and it did all mean all it certainly did does that mean the authority of civil government Sure does it mean the authority of civil government and every planet Sure does it mean the authorities civil government across the whole globe sure all means all and all authority back then and today and forever belongs to the person of Christ the only one ever risen from the dead who could claim such authority who could make such a claim now if a person is not a Christian the wonderful news is part of that authority as Christ teaches is the never force anybody to believe that if they don't want to but for years generations centuries Americans have held to a biblical world view to believing that the creator and the Redeemer cares about what happens here on earth and He cares about civil government because he cares about the way we treat one another and so we call people every day to not fall into the trap of sacred versus secular to understand all the way the cheese to said this is Dave's not you for this is any time and learn in the public square dot com mistress.

But it oh a bit is this. Quote . You know one of the most comforting and meaningful pictures that God gives us of Himself is as our Shepherd One of my favorites is Psalm 23 were God calls himself the shepherd who protects us and satisfies us with himself welcome to through the Bible with by. Abol teacher Dr j. Vernon McGee our study begins today in 34 as we travel to Israel during a trivial and time in Jerusalem will see fallen and false prophets who are described as shepherds who feed themselves just the opposite of the Good Shepherd who gave his life for the sheep in John 10 Jesus tells us that the Good Shepherd knows His sheep and the sheep respond to his voice if you are a faithful traveller on our world per team then you know many people around the world are responding to the sound of the shepherds voice as they hear as Word taught on through the Bible this week we're traveling across the Middle East and Africa we're praying from one country and language group to the next one of God's sheep who listens to the Arabic broadcast in Morocco writes I'm a Christian now every day while listening to your program I learned more about what this means I'm now going to obtain a Bible so that I may follow along pray for me that I do not get in trouble because of this Bible and my belief in Jesus another listener named Adel wants to keep his location confidential but he wrote us this exciting note through the Bible is more than wonderful and I've been listening to it in Arabic since the year 2000 I've given my life to the Lord and learned so much about him I now understand his heart because of this teaching thank you and please continue this lovely ministry and then our final note comes from Sabah in Gaza walking through the Bible has made me realize that it is the true Word of God I have refused all that has to do with my old religion and decided to follow Jesus but sadly after I told my family and friends I was rejected by all of them also my employer fired me after he got news about my new faith my family brought religious leaders sheiks to talk to me but all it did was reinforce my new beliefs how could I have been that blind I'm sad because my family looks at me as if I betrayed them because I am the only one who used to work and provide for their needs I'm sad but I will not go back to the old ways pray for me and for my family to know Jesus I believe the Lord is our provider . And he will meet our physical needs just as he met my spiritual needs isn't it amazing how God blesses his work across the globe if you want to join our world per team and how could you not want to do that we pray for these listeners and millions of others around the world so please sign up at t t v dot org forward slash pray you'll be glad you did now let's commit this time to the Lord Father thank You that You are the Good Shepherd to us we love the sound of your voice and we listen for it now as we study your word we pray this in Jesus' name amen Here's through the Bible with Dr j. Vernon McGee our friends we come care in this 34th chapter through this new section and I have labeled this the false chapters and then they true shepherd and the future gathering of the flock.
