<v Speaker 1>In Amen. Today we bring you the final part of

18
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:42.040

00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>God's word. Know your Place Part three, Stay humbled before

20
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>God's Word. Our scripture reading shall be taken from Second

21
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Kings chapter seven, verse one to eleven, and then from

22
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the assisteing to to second King Stapture seven, verse one

23
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>to eleven, and then from sixteen to twenty I will

24
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>be reading from the new International version. Elisha replied, hear

25
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord

26
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 1>says about this time tomorrow, a seer of the finest

27
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>flower will sell for a shekel, and two seers of

28
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>ballet for a sherkele. At the gates of Samaria, the

29
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.319
<v Speaker 1>officer on whose arm the King was leaning said to

30
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the manocole, Look, even if the Lord should open the

31
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>flat gates of heavens, for this happened, you will say

32
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it with your own eyes, answered Elisha, But you will

33
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 1>not eat any of it. Now, there were four men

34
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They

35
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 1>said to each other, whilst they hear, until we die.

36
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>If we say we'll go into the city, the farming

37
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>is there and we will die. And if we stay

38
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 1>here we will die. So let's go over to the

39
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 1>camp of the Arabians and surrender. If they spare us,

40
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 1>we'll live. If they kill us, then we die. At dusk,

41
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>they got up and went to the camp of the Ramians.

42
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>When they reached the edge of the camp, no one

43
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>was there. For the Lord had caused the Arabians to

44
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army.

45
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So they set to one another. Look, the King of

46
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Israel has hired the hit Tiites and Egyptians kings to

47
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 1>attack us. So they got up and fled in the

48
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 1>dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys.

49
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 1>They left the camp as it was and ran for

50
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>their lives. The men who had leprosy reached the edge

51
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>of the camp, enter one of the tents and ate

52
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 1>and drank. Then they took silver, gold and clothes and

53
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>went off and hit them. They returned and entered another

54
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>tent and took some things from it and hid them also.

55
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Then they said to each other what we are doing

56
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>is not right. This is a day of good news,

57
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait

58
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let's go at once

59
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and report this to the royal palace. So they went

60
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and called out the city gatekeepers and told them we

61
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>went into the Arabian camp and no one was there,

62
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 1>not a sound of anyone, only turted horses and donkeys,

63
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 1>and the tents left chase as they were. The gatekeepers

64
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 1>shouted the news, and it was reported within the palace

65
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the verse sixteen to twenty. When the people went out

66
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and plundered the camp of the Ramians, so a seer

67
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 1>of the finest flower sold for a shirtle, and two

68
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>seers of ballet sued for a sheircle, as the Lord

69
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>had said. Now the King had put the officer on

70
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 1>whose arm he leaned, in charge of the gates, and

71
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 1>the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died

72
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just as the man of God had fortilled. When the

73
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>king came down to his house. It happened as a

74
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>man of God had said to the King, about this

75
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 1>time tomorrow, a seer of the finest flower will sell

76
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>for a sheirkele, and two seers of ballet for a

77
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>shakele at the gates of Samaria. The officer had said

78
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to the man of God, Look, even if the Lord

79
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 1>should open the flat gates of heavens, could this happened.

80
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>The man of God had replied, you will see it

81
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 1>with your own eyes, but she will not eat any

82
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>of it. And that is exactly what happened to him,

83
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>For the people trampled him in the gates with and

84
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>he died. The Lord add his blessings to the reading

85
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and hearing of his word.

86
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Fancy God, Amen, know your place Part three, stay humbled

87
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 2>before God's word, beloved. In the pat two of Know

88
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Your Place, we lend that one of the quickest ways

89
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>to lose what God has given us is to begin

90
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 2>acting as though we gave it to ourselves. Vasty for

91
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>God who placed the crown upon her head, but esther

92
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>never did. And we saw how humility preserved what pride forfeited.

93
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Today we arrive and perhaps the greatest test of humility

94
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>our response to the word of God. From our opening scriptures,

95
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>we saw that the city of Samaria was in the

96
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>gripe of one of the worst famines in its history.

97
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Food had become almost impossible to find, Desperation failled every home.

98
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Then into that hopeless situation, the prophet Elijah spoke an

99
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 2>astonishing promise. Tomorrow about this time, a measure of fine

100
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>flowers shall be sold for a shekel. It sounded impossible.

101
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Standing beside the king was one of his chief officers,

102
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>a man of influence and authority. The scriptures describe him

103
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 2>as the officer upon whose hand the king leaned. He

104
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 2>was no ordinary man, Yet instead of receiving the word

105
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 2>with humility, he answered, look, if the Lord would make

106
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 2>windows in heaven, could this thing be Notice what happened.

107
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>He was not speaking to another officer. He was responding

108
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 2>to the word of God spoken through God's prophet. He

109
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 2>forgot where he stood. His reasoning quietly rose above God's revelation.

110
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Elijah answered solemnly, in fact, you shall see it with

111
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>your eyes, but you shall not eat of it. And

112
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>exactly as God had spoken, the farming ended. Overnight, food

113
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>became super abundant. The officer witnessed the miracle, yet died

114
00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 2>at the city gate before he could partake of it. Beloved,

115
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>this account is not preserved merely to warn us against unbelief.

116
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>It teaches us something deeper. There is a posture the

117
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 2>heart must maintain whenever God speaks. We may not fully

118
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>understand his ways. We may not see how his promises

119
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>will come to pass. We may wrestle with questions, but

120
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 2>we must never place our reasoning above his word. The

121
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>safest place for every believer is beneath the authority of scripture.

122
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I take it again, The safest place for every believer

123
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>is beneath the authority of Scripture. This same temptation still

124
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>confronts us today. God says, forgive our emotions, say hold

125
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:57.039
<v Speaker 2>on to the offense. God says, give our calculations. Say

126
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.519
<v Speaker 2>wait until there is more. God says, do not fear

127
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 2>our circumstances, say panic. Every day we are deciding which

128
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 2>voys will occupy the highest place in our hearts. Beloved,

129
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Knowing our place means allowing God's word to have the

130
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 2>final say. It means approaching scripture not as its editor,

131
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>but as its students, not as its judge, but as

132
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>It's sevant. For whenever God's word and our opinions stand

133
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.759
<v Speaker 2>or post, one of them has bow. May it never

134
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 2>be God's word, precious one, Let us know our place.

135
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Let us remain humble before his word. Let us trust

136
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 2>even when we cannot trace him. For heaven and earth

137
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>may pass away, but his word shall never fail. God,

138
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>richly bless you, Let us kindly take our memory verse

139
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>for today. Our memory verse is taken from Anxiet chapter

140
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 2>fifty five, from the verse aide to nine, ASI chapter

141

<v Speaker 2>thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your wyte my ways,

144
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 2>says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than

145
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 2>the earth, so am I ways higher than your ways,

146
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 2>and my thoughts than your thoughts. For my thoughts are

147
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>not your thoughts, nor are you waste my ways, says

148
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

149
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 2>so are my ways higher than your ways, and my

150
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>thoughts than your thoughts. Aimen, Please let us share a

151
