Dr. June encouraged the church to trust in the Lord in these trying times. The Lord is going to take care of us and lead us through. Our ears must hear Him and get rid of the distractions in our lives. We must lean on Him and give Him all our anxieties, worries and fears.
Scripture - Psalm 23:
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Songs:
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
Open the Eyes of my Heart Lord
"Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone, and on the white stone is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it" (Revelation 2:17).
Pastor's Sermon:
Pastor warns everyone that many shall come in God's name, but not be right. They will come from the east to the west. When Jesus sat down He had something to reveal to people. People would take heed. Apostles mirrored their master. Acts 13:14. Jesus spoke from a place of authority.
Genesis 1:1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Acts Chapter 3 talks about how we must listen to the right prophets an teachers. We need to hear the truth. The Bible says that the Gentiles are fellow heirs. Also in Mark 16 it talks about how Jesus is at the right hand of God when He left the Earth. He is in a place of Authority.
Hebrews 1:3 - Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
We are the heirs to salvation. In Romans 8 we learn that we are fellow heirs. We are His children. We cry ABBA FATHER.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Pastor rebuked the spirit of fear out of people! He took authority!
Romans 8:15 - For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
