<v Speaker 1>We canly asks that you come and lead the way

8
00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>in Jesus' name. Amen, let us can lead. Take confession

9
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>for today from Joshua chapter one, the verse eight. Joshua

10
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 1>chapter one, the verse eight. This book of the Law

11
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>shall not depart from my mouth, but I shall meditate

12
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>in it day and night, that I may observe to

13
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>do according to all that is written in it. For

14
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>then I will make my way prospers, and then I

15
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>will have good success. Amen. Today's message is titled when

16
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Faith Costs Everything, When Faith Costs Everything, written by Pastor

17
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>in dickeness po for our scripture. Reading shall be taken

18
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 1>from he Brews chapter six, the verse ten to fifteen.

19
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>He Brews six the verse ten to fifteen. I will

20
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>be reading from the New King James version he Brews

21
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>chapter six, the verst. Ten to fifteen. God is not

22
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 1>unjust to forget your work and labor of love which

23
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you have shown towards His name. In that you have

24
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>minister to the saints, and do minister. And we desire

25
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 1>that each one of you show the same diligence to

26
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 1>the full assurance of hope until they end, that you

27
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 1>do not become sluggish. Imitate those who, through faith and

28
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>patience inherit the promises. For when God made a promise

29
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he

30
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>swore by himself, saying, surely, blessing, I will bless you,

31
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and multiplying, I will multiply you. And so after he

32
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. The Lord add

33
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>his blessings to the reading and hearing of his word.

34
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Thanks be to God, Amen. When faith costs everything, When

35
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 1>faith costs everything, there are days when the hardest part

36
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>of the Christian work is simply stay. Input You have prayed,

37
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>you have fasted, and you have wept behind closed doors,

38
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Yet the circumstance remains completely unchanged. In those quiet hours.

39
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>The temptation to give up does not always arrived with

40
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 1>a loud scream. It often comes with a soft whisper,

41
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>asking what is the point of waiting any longer? If

42
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 1>your heart feels heavy today, you are not the first

43
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 1>to walk this dusty road. The writer of Hebrews points

44
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 1>as to a quiet truth. The promises of God are

45
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>never inherited by faith alone, but by faith and patience.

46
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>We love to celebrate faith, but we often overlook the

47
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 1>patience that holds it together in the dark. Think of

48
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>the saints who walked before us. They were not made

49
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>of stone. They were flesh and blood, just as any

50
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>one of us. They felt the cold edge of disappointment.

51
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They knew the heartache of delayed answers on pay debts

52
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>and other on met expectations. Yet when giving every reason

53
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>to walk away and seek comfort in lesser things, they

54
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>chose to trust God with the outcome. They settled in

55
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 1>their hearts that God was faithful, even if the answer

56
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>took a lifetime to arrive. Consider those three young men

57
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>in Babylon Sharrak measure can abete me go, the command

58
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>from the Babylonian king Nipucadnesa, was bound or burned facing

59
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>a roaring fairness. Their answer to the king was simple

60
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 1>yet unshakable. God could deliver them, but even if he

61
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>did not, they would not bow. Their trust was not

62
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>tied to a quick escape. It was anchored in the

63
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>character of God himself. Such is the testimony that God

64
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 1>is seeking. The crown of life is reserved for those who,

65
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>in the face of all positions, still submit their wills

66
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to that of God. The rewards of the Kingdom of

67
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 1>God are for those who overcome the challenges on the

68
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>journey of faith, not for those who give up. Beloved,

69
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.959
<v Speaker 1>your trial today may not be a fiery fairnace, or

70
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a lion's dead or a Roman jail, but the pressure

71
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 1>to compromise feels just as real. God is calling on

72
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you to keep your footing. Do not throw away your

73
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>confidence in God and his promises. The God will held

74
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 1>the saints of all is holding you right now, and

75
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 1>this very are and the saints who have run the race,

76
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 1>finished the course and kept the faith at sharing you

77
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 1>on right now, eagerly waiting to welcome you at the

78
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>finishing line. Pressure is one. This worthy cause is very possible.

79
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 1>We can indeed make it. Keep on keeping the faith.

80
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>God richly bless you. Let us kind of take our

81
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 1>memory verse. For today our memory verse shall be taken

82
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>from he brushed of the sixth the verse twelve. He

83
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 1>bruised the sixth verse twelve. I will be reading from

84
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the new King James version that you do not become sluggish,

85
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>but imitate those who, through faith and patience inherit the promises,

86
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 1>that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who,

87
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 1>through faith and patience, inherit the promises. Amen, let us

88

<v Speaker 1>kindly share a word of prayer. Our heavely Father, we

89

90
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 1>moment when our waiting is long and the temptation to

91
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>give up wispers in our years. Please grant us the

92
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.800
