Speaker 1: Welcome Just hind Away Tagalog Sermon podcast, your daily dose
Speaker 1: of inspiring from heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pastors and
Speaker 1: speakers all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast
Speaker 1: finds you in good shame and now here's your message.
Speaker 2: Says now. The birth of Jesus Christ was as follows.
Speaker 2: After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they
Speaker 2: came together, she was found the child of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2: Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not
Speaker 2: wanting to make her a public example, was minded to
Speaker 2: put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold,
Speaker 2: an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph,
Speaker 2: son of David, do not be afraid to take to you.
Speaker 2: Marry your wife, for that which is conceived in her
Speaker 2: is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth
Speaker 2: a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for
Speaker 2: he will save his people from their sins. So all
Speaker 2: this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was
Speaker 2: spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, behold, the
Speaker 2: Virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and
Speaker 2: they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is translated God
Speaker 2: with Us Emmanuel, Emmanuel, God with Us, an announcement bursting
Speaker 2: with meaning beyond anything any one of us could think,
Speaker 2: hope or imagine. God with us, a declaration pregnant with
Speaker 2: possibilities and promise. God with Us Emmanuel, a pronouncement of favor,
Speaker 2: blessing and eternal kindness. A word greater than any word, Emmanuel,
Speaker 2: greater than brokenness, greater than doubt, greater than fear, greater
Speaker 2: than bondage, greater than oppression. Emmanuel. One word that outshines
Speaker 2: all other words, outshines darkness, outshines deception, outsigns degradation outshines fear,
Speaker 2: outshines evil. God with Us a single utterance that brings
Speaker 2: freedom and forgiveness, deliverance and rescue, hope, help, healing. God
Speaker 2: can say more in one word than we can in
Speaker 2: a whole speech, or a whole sermon, or a whole soliloquy.
Speaker 2: One word Emmanuel, God with Us, a strong and rock
Speaker 2: solid statement that God is with us, not only with us,
Speaker 2: but for us and in us. If we are saved.
Speaker 2: So many are deceived and in darkness in believing a lie,
Speaker 2: the lie that we don't need God. The good news
Speaker 2: is the only Hope of the world we shared last
Speaker 2: week about sharing the good news. In fact, if you
Speaker 2: didn't get one of those handouts last week those five questions,
Speaker 2: ask people with the ushers, just go ahead and if
Speaker 2: you didn't get one, raise your hand because I want
Speaker 2: you to have one, or if you want to second one.
Speaker 2: I think we got a few there, but I'd like
Speaker 2: everybody to have one of these, because so many times
Speaker 2: we don't share the good news, and this makes it
Speaker 2: so easy. These five questions that we went over, it's
Speaker 2: the only hope of the world. Five questions that I
Speaker 2: encourage you to take and memorize and need some more
Speaker 2: over here allan so take those, and you know the
Speaker 2: beauty of those I don't want to reiterate them a lot.
Speaker 2: You can look at them on your own. But the
Speaker 2: beauty of those questions is, no matter how people answer,
Speaker 2: you're not stopped in your witness, You're not hindered in
Speaker 2: your witness. It doesn't matter what they answer. You know,
Speaker 2: the first quest question is do you have any spiritual beliefs?
Speaker 2: And they could say no, doesn't stop me. You can
Speaker 2: move on to the next one to you who is Jesus?
Speaker 2: I don't know what do you think happens after death?
Speaker 2: Nobody knows. I could care less. If you were to
Speaker 2: die and stand before God and he were to ask you,
Speaker 2: why should I let you into heaven? What would you say?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm giving the worst case scenario. If
Speaker 2: somebody could give you I don't know, if you were
Speaker 2: actually wrong, would you want to know? And even if
Speaker 2: they say there nope, say all right, have a good day,
Speaker 2: God bless you. You've planted a seed, You've put a
Speaker 2: stone in their shoe, as we talked about. But they
Speaker 2: may say, when you get that last question, well, if
Speaker 2: you actually were wrong and one, would you want to know? Oh?
Speaker 2: I guess so yeah, I think I would. So simple,
Speaker 2: yet so profound Verse twenty one again, and she shall
Speaker 2: bring forth the son, and you shall call his name Jesus,
Speaker 2: for he will save his people from their sins. Verse
Speaker 2: twenty three. Behold, the Virgin shall be with child and
Speaker 2: bears's son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which
Speaker 2: is God. With us such a powerful word, such a
Speaker 2: powerful promise, with us is God is the literal interpretation,
Speaker 2: with us is God. We'll have that. Go ahead and
Speaker 2: put that on the screen. I've got some things about
Speaker 2: Emmanuel here, but literally it's with us is God. Matthew
Speaker 2: is quoting from Isaiah the prophet seven hundred years earlier.
Speaker 2: Four hundred years of silence from the close of the
Speaker 2: Old Testament to the beginning of the New Testament. Think
Speaker 2: that four hundred years of silence, no prophetic utterance, no
Speaker 2: word from God, and all of a sudden the silence
Speaker 2: is broken with a word. Emmanuel with us as God.
Speaker 2: God is with us. The theological word Book of the
Speaker 2: Old Testament says, Emmanuel is a name. That quote sums
Speaker 2: up the past, present and future intimate relationship of God's
Speaker 2: presence with his people. Emmanuel, that's what God desires relationship, says.
Speaker 2: It sums up the past, present and future intimate relationship
Speaker 2: of God's prayer with his people. He didn't have to come,
Speaker 2: but he came God with us, God with us. The
Speaker 2: Passion translation reads this way God became one of us.
Speaker 2: God became one of us, and he did the Word
Speaker 2: was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld
Speaker 2: his glory. The glory is of the only begotten of
Speaker 2: the Father, full of grace and truth. John told us,
Speaker 2: and I think one of the saddest verses in the Bible.
Speaker 2: It said he came to his own, and his own
Speaker 2: received him not, and the light shines in the darkness,
Speaker 2: and the darkness did not accept it because their deeds
Speaker 2: were evil. But he came, He came to his own.
Speaker 2: God became one of us so we could know him.
Speaker 2: Art link Letter was interviewing a little boy. Some of
Speaker 2: the old younger people may not know who art link
Speaker 2: letter is. I hope mostly know art link letter is.
Speaker 2: But he used to have a show where he'd interview children.
Speaker 2: It was great, great comedy and great lessons. But he
Speaker 2: asked a little boy was drawing feverishly, and he went
Speaker 2: up to this boy, and he said to the boy,
Speaker 2: young boy, what are you drawing. He said, well, I'm
Speaker 2: drawing God. He said, you can't draw God. Nobody knows
Speaker 2: what he looks like. And the little boy said, they
Speaker 2: will when I'm done. But you know, in a very
Speaker 2: real sense, you can't draw God. You can't explain God.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows what he looks like, what he's like. They
Speaker 2: will when this is done, they will when Emanuel has come.
Speaker 2: Jesus was the exit Jesus of God. Jesus said, if
Speaker 2: you've seen me, You've seen the Father. Jesus came to
Speaker 2: explain the Father, to interpret the Father, to lead him
Speaker 2: out behind the curtain of invisibility. Said, this is what
Speaker 2: God is like. This is who God is. He's a
Speaker 2: good God, He's a loving father. You can pray to him,
Speaker 2: our father, who are in heaven. You can have intimacy,
Speaker 2: intimacy with him, relationship with him. Nobody knew what God
Speaker 2: was really like, but we can once Jesus has come,
Speaker 2: once we get into the scriptures and discover the truth.
Speaker 2: The title Emmanuel, according to the Spirit Filled Life Bible,
Speaker 2: assures God's participation in bringing about the deliverance of his people.
Speaker 2: Who Emmanuel. It assures God's participation in bringing about the
Speaker 2: deliverance of his people. Whatever you may need delivered from,
Speaker 2: whatever you need healing from whatever brokenness there may be,
Speaker 2: or bondage or oppression. Emmanuel, God with us. He came
Speaker 2: to deliver us. The name declares the presence of God
Speaker 2: with his people in a new altogether, in a way,
Speaker 2: altogether new God with us, God with us. The name
Speaker 2: was meant to convince us that God could and would
Speaker 2: rescue us from our enemies. It was the greatest gift.
Speaker 2: We need no other, Well, we think we do. We
Speaker 2: think we need this, we need that, and I wish
Speaker 2: I had that, and I need If we discover Emanuel,
Speaker 2: we've discovered the greatest gift and we really need no other.
Speaker 2: We've got everything we need. Look at Isaiah eight ten.
Speaker 2: We'll have it on the screen here. Notice what God says.
Speaker 2: Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted. Propose your plan,
Speaker 2: but it will not stand. For God is with us Emmanuel.
Speaker 2: No matter God said you, go ahead. People can have
Speaker 2: their strategy against you. It's going to be thwarted. They
Speaker 2: can have their plan against you. It's not going to stand.
Speaker 2: Why because Emmanuel, God is with you. God is with you.
Speaker 2: Look at the passion translation. Go ahead, hatch a plot,
Speaker 2: but it will be foiled. Go ahead, speak a word,
Speaker 2: but it will not stand. For Emmanuel. God is with us.
Speaker 2: God is with us. And that's what it says in
Speaker 2: the Hebrew Emanuel, God is with us. I read or heard,
Speaker 2: I forget what it was they said, basically about three
Speaker 2: hundred times in the Bible. The references made to God
Speaker 2: being with us, not those exact words, but God for us,
Speaker 2: God with us, God in us, God on our side,
Speaker 2: God acting in our behalf. Go ahead, hatch a plot,
Speaker 2: but it'll be foiled. Go ahead, speak a word. It
Speaker 2: will not stand. Emmanuel. It's a name that brings healing
Speaker 2: to the broken hearted, deliverance to the captives, recovery of
Speaker 2: sight to the blind, and sets at liberty those who
Speaker 2: are bruised. The light shines in the darkness. I think
Speaker 2: it's more than coincidence that Christmas comes right after the
Speaker 2: darkest night of the year, the winter solstice, which we
Speaker 2: just had, and right after the darkest night. Emmanuel comes
Speaker 2: right after your darkest hour, right after your darkest time.
Speaker 2: Emmanuel is there, God with us, God with us. See,
Speaker 2: as Christians, we don't just believe in some things. We
Speaker 2: believe in some We don't just have these tenets of faith.
Speaker 2: Well I believe this and this is my doctrine. We
Speaker 2: don't just believe in some things. We believe in someone,
Speaker 2: someone who is actually here, closer than our next breath. Emmanuel,
Speaker 2: God with us, not some idea or philosophy or even
Speaker 2: some theology. Someone. He has come to us. He is here.
Speaker 2: We are not alone, or rather, we do not have
Speaker 2: to be alone. He is with us. Emmanuel, one word
Speaker 2: greater than all words, one word that heals all wounds,
Speaker 2: all brokenness, all sorrow, all grief, all mourning. He's with
Speaker 2: us in the pain. He's with us in the bitterness,
Speaker 2: with us in the brokenness. He's with us in the suffering.
Speaker 2: He's with us in the aloneentness. Emmanuel, God with us,
Speaker 2: God with uh Us. Think about it. He's with us
Speaker 2: in the death of a child, the loss of a
Speaker 2: loved one, the tests and trials of life, the rejection,
Speaker 2: the emptiness, the disappointment, the failures, the brokenness. His provision.
Speaker 2: Think about this. His provision always exceeds your need. His
Speaker 2: provision always exceeds your need. When they were in the wilderness,
Speaker 2: his provision exceeded their need. Not only did he feed
Speaker 2: them daily and provide water for them daily, their clothes
Speaker 2: never ran out, never wore out. None of them was feeble,
Speaker 2: none of them was sick. When Jesus fed to five
Speaker 2: thousand to four thousand, there were baskets left over. He's
Speaker 2: able to do, exceeding abundantly, above and beyond all you
Speaker 2: can ask, think or imagine. His provision always exceeds your need.
Speaker 2: Emmanuel God Yahweh with us the name that brings real
Speaker 2: peace and true contentment, purpose and meaning in our lives.
Speaker 2: I read one author this week that said, this is
Speaker 2: anything you're doing here adding up to anything that matters.
Speaker 2: You ever think that I do do? Not anything? Is
Speaker 2: anything I'm doing really to anything that matters? And I
Speaker 2: know that's easy to think that when you're going in
Speaker 2: on in a factory or something like that. It's just like,
Speaker 2: is anything I'm doing adding up to anything that matters?
Speaker 2: And this author said, is anything you're doing here adding
Speaker 2: up to anything that matters? And in the end, is
Speaker 2: what you've chosen ultimately about Christ and his kingdom. If not,
Speaker 2: then no matter what you've chosen, it won't matter at all.
Speaker 2: Your time is limited. So don't limit your life profound thoughts.
Speaker 2: We want to matter, We want to make a difference.
Speaker 2: Look at verse twenty one again. And she shall bring
Speaker 2: forth the sun, and you shall call his name Jesus,
Speaker 2: Jesus Yehashaah. The Lord is salvation. Jesus is the translation
Speaker 2: of the Hebrew Joshua or Yehashawa or Yahweh is salvation.
Speaker 2: Yahweh is salvation, healing, deliverance, preservation, protection, soundness. God is
Speaker 2: all those things, and it's in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 2: Jesus Yahweh is salvation, healing, deliverance, preservation, soundness, protection. He
Speaker 2: shall save us from our sins. Jesus came to Earth
Speaker 2: to save us because we can't save ourselves. Drowning man
Speaker 2: cannot save himself. And somebody that rescues a drowning person,
Speaker 2: the one thing they wish that drowning person would do
Speaker 2: would just stop struggling and let go and relax so
Speaker 2: I can rescue you. Stop trying to rescue yourself. The
Speaker 2: drowning person just needs to let that person that's come
Speaker 2: to rescue them do that rescue them. Jesus came to
Speaker 2: rescue us because we cannot rescue ourselves. We cannot save
Speaker 2: ourselves from sin and its consequences. No matter how good
Speaker 2: we are, we can't eliminate sin and its consequences without
Speaker 2: our being born from above, redeemed, renewed. Look at Matthew
Speaker 2: one twenty one in the amplified we'll have it on
Speaker 2: the screen here. He Jesus, will save his people from
Speaker 2: their sins, that is, prevent them from failing and missing
Speaker 2: the true end and scope of life, which is God.
Speaker 2: That's why he came. He came to save us from
Speaker 2: our sins and prevent us from failing and missing the
Speaker 2: true end and scope of life, which is God, for
Speaker 2: He will save his people from their sins. The words
Speaker 2: save the Greek word sodso so z o, and it
Speaker 2: means this according to this is from Dake's Annotated Reference Bible.
Speaker 2: He said, the word soso has used one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten times in the New Testament of salvation. Sin, danger,
Speaker 2: spiritual conflict, sickness, hell, and slavery. That's what you and
Speaker 2: I are saved from. Yahweh is salvation Jesus. He came
Speaker 2: to save us from sin, danger, spiritual conflict, sickness, hell,
Speaker 2: and slavery. Glory to God. That's worth rejoicing about. That's
Speaker 2: worth shouting about. That's what's getting excited about. Emmanuel symbolizes
Speaker 2: the presence of God to deliver his people, to give
Speaker 2: us the victory and cause us to triumph. Symbolizes His
Speaker 2: presence to deliver us. I want to have Jeff come
Speaker 2: up here right now and share a testimony that just
Speaker 2: happened in his life, heard it with me. After prayer
Speaker 2: on Wednesday morning, he had gone down south to see
Speaker 2: his mom, and I said, man, you got to tell that.
Speaker 2: So I hope you can tell it as good as
Speaker 2: you told me, because that was some powerful stuff. I
Speaker 2: hope it edified I was.
Speaker 3: I was scheduled last Sunday night to go to my
Speaker 3: mom's place and visit. So I left Manchester and the
Speaker 3: conditions were great, perfect, So I on my way down,
Speaker 3: I was listened to a really good teaching from Kenneth
Speaker 3: Hagen and it was about Kenneth Hagen was talking about
Speaker 3: how the woman with the issue of blood was an
Speaker 3: example for believers on how they could receive from God
Speaker 3: and the three lessons or steps that took place with
Speaker 3: a woman with issue of blood was she said, then
Speaker 3: she acted on what she had said, then she had
Speaker 3: received from Jesus, and then she told So, I'm glad today.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that I can tell something. That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: I'm telling So I was on the north side of Indianapolis,
Speaker 3: and I was in the presence of God. I had
Speaker 3: listened to that message and it was rich. And I'm
Speaker 3: on the north side of Indianapolis where it's four lanes
Speaker 3: one way, and all of a sudden, I find myself
Speaker 3: going perpendicular to the traffic, and there was no traffic
Speaker 3: for me to hit, thankfully, So I was sliding perpendicular
Speaker 3: to the direction of the road, and I cried out Jesus,
Speaker 3: and he was I was, like I say, I was
Speaker 3: in his presence. So anyway, I got all the way
Speaker 3: over to that edge of the road, and all this
Speaker 3: takes like a second, but I got all the way
Speaker 3: over to the edge of the road, and I could
Speaker 3: kind of just see over where I was headed, and
Speaker 3: it was a long ways down. It was probably, oh,
Speaker 3: i'd guess, fifteen feet a bank that the road was
Speaker 3: built up on. So I was just right at the edge,
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden I was straightened out and
Speaker 3: just headed on my way to Mom's. I got so's oed.
Speaker 2: Amen, Hallelujah, as saying he was telling me Wednesday that
Speaker 2: that and bank went. That cliff was so steep. He
Speaker 2: said it could have killed me. One word, Jesus shall
Speaker 2: save his people. Hallelujah, God with us, the Lord saves.
Speaker 2: Read this with me will be on the screen. There
Speaker 2: are thirty nine books in the Old Testament and twenty
Speaker 2: seven books in the New Testament. The word Testament means
Speaker 2: covenant or promise. The Bible constantly tells us, in one
Speaker 2: form or another, that God is with us. It's a covenant.
Speaker 2: It's a promise, not just words on a page, not
Speaker 2: just platitudes. It's a covenant. It's a promise. God is
Speaker 2: with us. Emmanuel. The whole word of God tells us,
Speaker 2: tells how God is with us. He knows we are
Speaker 2: not perfect, and He does not expect us to be.
Speaker 2: But if we ask for forgiveness at any time, God
Speaker 2: will forgive us. He is always everywhere and always with us.
Speaker 2: If we ask for forgiveness and really mean it, God
Speaker 2: must and will forgive us instantly and forever, never to
Speaker 2: remember those shortcomings again. We can do this because God
Speaker 2: is with us always. He promises, He covenants with us,
Speaker 2: to be with us, not only with us, but for us,
Speaker 2: not only for us, but in us. Let's look at
Speaker 2: one more scripture. Go to Hebrews chapter thirteen. We'll read
Speaker 2: it first in the New King James, and we'll look
Speaker 2: at it in the Amplified Bible. Hebrews chapter thirteen, Verse
Speaker 2: five and six. Let your conduct be without covetousness, Be
Speaker 2: content with such things as you have for he himself
Speaker 2: has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Speaker 2: So we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper.
Speaker 2: I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Speaker 2: He himself has said it so that we should then
Speaker 2: boldly say it. Whatever God has said, whether it be
Speaker 2: this verse or other verses, we need to boldly say it.
Speaker 2: He has said, by my stripes, you're healed. We need
Speaker 2: to say, bias stripes, I was healed. He has said
Speaker 2: I'll never leave you, nor forsake you. We need to
Speaker 2: say he will never leave me nor forsaking. He has said,
Speaker 2: the Lord is our shepherd. We shall not want. We
Speaker 2: need to say the Lord is my shepherd. I shall
Speaker 2: not want. We need to say it now just think
Speaker 2: it or dream about it, or imagine it. We need
Speaker 2: to say it so that he has said so that
Speaker 2: we may boldly say it. Doesn't get any clearer than
Speaker 2: that death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Speaker 2: If you have faith, you will say, they said, increase
Speaker 2: our faith, and Jesus that if you have faith, you
Speaker 2: will say. If you have faith, you will say what
Speaker 2: God says. We're not just saying things we make up
Speaker 2: or positive things or things that sound good. We're saying
Speaker 2: what God says because there's power and anointing in his word.
Speaker 2: Just like Jesus did when he was tempted, he just said,
Speaker 2: it is written, It is written, it is written. He
Speaker 2: spoke the word. When you face the trials of life,
Speaker 2: speak the word. Now look at it in the ampied
Speaker 2: and it brings out what's actually in the Greek or
Speaker 2: is a triple negative here, And it says this, let
Speaker 2: marriage verse five, Let your character or moral disposition be
Speaker 2: free from love of money, including greed, avarice, lust, and
Speaker 2: craving for earthly possessions. Or you could stop and preach
Speaker 2: right there and be satisfied with your present circumstances and
Speaker 2: with what you have. You can preach your whole sermon
Speaker 2: right there. For he God himself has said, I'll noticed this.
Speaker 2: He God himself has said, I will not in any
Speaker 2: way fail you, nor give you up, nor leave you
Speaker 2: without support. It's a covenant. It's a promise. I will
Speaker 2: not in any way fail you, nor give you up,
Speaker 2: nor leave you without support. Emanuel God with us, and
Speaker 2: it goes on, I will not, I will not, I
Speaker 2: will not in any degree leave you helpless. That's what
Speaker 2: how it reads in the Greek. It's a triple negative there,
Speaker 2: I will not, I will not, I will not. Why
Speaker 2: would God emphasize it so strongly because he knew we'd
Speaker 2: have trouble believing it. I guess I will not. I
Speaker 2: will not. I will not in any degree leave you helpless,
Speaker 2: nor forsake, nor let you down, nor relax my hold
Speaker 2: on you. We think we're holding on to God. He's
Speaker 2: holding on to us assuredly not. I will not. I
Speaker 2: will not. I will not let you down. I will
Speaker 2: not leave you. I will not forsake you. I will
Speaker 2: not let you go. The passion translation reads this way,
Speaker 2: for hasn't he promised you I will never leave you alone? Never,
Speaker 2: and I will not loosen my grip on your life.
Speaker 2: Close your eyes and think about that as I read
Speaker 2: it again. Hasn't he promised you I will never leave
Speaker 2: you alone, never, and I will not loosen my grip
Speaker 2: on your life. Father, We praise you today that you
Speaker 2: will never leave us alone. You will not, you will not.
Speaker 2: You will not forsake us, turn from us, relax your
Speaker 2: hold on us. You will never leave us, You will
Speaker 2: never forsake us. We can boldly say the Lord is
Speaker 2: my helper. The Lord is the strength of my life.
Speaker 2: The Lord is my deliverer. The Lord is my healer.
Speaker 2: The Lord is my redeemer. The Lord is my shepherd.
Speaker 2: The Lord is my strong power. The Lord is my rock,
Speaker 2: my shield. The Lord is my all and all. We
Speaker 2: can boldly say that because you have said it, and
Speaker 2: you will never leave us nor forsake us. Lord, I
Speaker 2: pray that that truth would be so real to each
Speaker 2: and every one of us. Emmanuel, God with us, to
Speaker 2: save us from ourselves, to save us from sin, Save
Speaker 2: us from the consequence of and save us from this
Speaker 2: wicked world. Save us from the wiles of the evil One,
Speaker 2: save us from the lies of the enemy, and heal us,
Speaker 2: and deliver us, and protect us, and provide for us.
Speaker 2: He will, He'll deliver, set free and make all his
Speaker 2: people yahweh is salvation. Lord. I pray that this Christmas,
Speaker 2: in this coming new Year, that reality, that truth will
Speaker 2: be blazed into our souls and into our hearts and
Speaker 2: into our minds. God is with us, God is for us.
Speaker 2: God is in us, in the person of Jesus Christ,
Speaker 2: to the Holy Spirit. He came to save, heal, deliver,
Speaker 2: set free, make whole, he will be with us. We
Speaker 2: want to close with the song. It's a powerful song.
Speaker 2: If you want to sing along, you can. If you
Speaker 2: just want to sit listen to it, or sit and
Speaker 2: you can close your eyes and listen to it. The
Speaker 2: child is I will be with you. I never heard
Speaker 2: this song before. When Penny and I and our family
Speaker 2: left California after living there eighteen years and pastoring the
Speaker 2: church we'd found there almost fourteen years, the praise and
Speaker 2: worship team sang this song to me to us as
Speaker 2: we were leaving after fourteen years, and I thought, man,
Speaker 2: it's such a good, powerful song, and it came back
Speaker 2: to me in preparing this message. So just let this
Speaker 2: minister to you. I will be with you. Join the day.
Speaker 4: Your craft for versing that goles mind name now, for.
Speaker 2: I'll be I will be with you.
Speaker 5: I will be with you.

Speaker 2: the true meaning of the rainbow. Hallelujah. You know one
Speaker 2: other aspect of that that we didn't look at. But
Speaker 2: it says you will call his name Emmanuel, which means
Speaker 2: God with us. But if you know it's we don't
Speaker 2: call him Emmanuel. We don't say, let's let's pray to
Speaker 2: Emmanuel right now, or we don't we don't say, oh, Emmanuel.
Speaker 2: What is his name? His name is Jesus. So here's
Speaker 2: another aspect of that. You'll call his name Jesus Emmanuel,
Speaker 2: God is with us. The name Jesus means God is
Speaker 2: with us. Then say then say you will name him Emanuel.
Speaker 2: Modern translations some of them tend to read that way,
Speaker 2: but the literal doesn't read that says you'll call his
Speaker 2: name Emmanuel, not his name is he. You'll call his
Speaker 2: name Jesus Emmanuel. When you call on that name, as
Speaker 2: we heard the testimony, you call on that name. God
Speaker 2: is with you. Hallelujah, Emmanuel Father, We thank you. You
Speaker 2: are with us. You'll never leave us, You'll never forsake us.
Speaker 2: We do pray as we gather with family and loved
Speaker 2: ones this week, Lord God, that we would shine for
Speaker 2: you your love would radiate through us. We continue to
Speaker 2: believe and thank you for household salvation. Lord, for each
Speaker 2: and everyone, our parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters. We
Speaker 2: pray for household salvation, people being saved for the first time,
Speaker 2: or delivered from backsliding, or being prodigals, or being deceived
Speaker 2: and deluded and off the track. Lord God, we pray
Speaker 2: and believe for a household salvation. And we thank you
Speaker 2: for Lord God, and use us to share the good news.
Speaker 2: To ask those five questions, to be salt, to be light,
Speaker 2: to be your ambassadors, to be your ministers of reconciliation,
Speaker 2: to be your witnesses, to be labors in the harvest.
Speaker 2: There is no Plan B it's us. So, Lord, I
Speaker 2: pray for divine appointments for each and every one of
Speaker 2: us in this coming year to share your love, to
Speaker 2: set people free from believing the lie and being deceived
Speaker 2: and in darkness, even if they think they're okay, that
Speaker 2: they would realize they need a savior they can't save themselves. Lord,
Speaker 2: I pray for holy boldness and divine compassion for each
Speaker 2: and every one of us to reach out to those
Speaker 2: in need, maybe whether it be at work or in
Speaker 2: our neighborhood, or in the marketplace or casual acquaintances. Lord,
Speaker 2: your love, your light, your truth would shine through us
Speaker 2: in Jesus' name. If you agree with that, say amen. Amen. Reminder,
Speaker 2: no service this Wednesday or next Wednesday, but we will
Speaker 2: be here next Sunday. Tell us some people as you leave.
Speaker 2: God is with us. God is with us, Callelijah. Thank
Speaker 2: you for listening.
