[00:00:06] Speaker B: I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day that.

[00:00:18] Speaker A: Sun, in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him. I'm still reading that book, and.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: Like.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: I said, it's a blessing because it talks about rightly dividing the Word and that we are to be a workman for God, a workman for the Word. And you're to know this stuff for yourself. And I talk about this a lot. You're to read this stuff for yourself. You to learn it for yourself. And once you do, man, it's a blessing. It's an absolute blessing. And I've been kind of working back in my mind, like, kind of how to help the people that are in our fellowship or the people I'm around in order to do that. But it really starts from just reading the Word. You pick a chapter and you read it one day. You read the same chapter over and over and over and over again until you start to understand what it's actually saying. At least that's what happened to me. And I actually did it out loud because I'm more of an auditory learner. But anyways, I was reading that. It was just blessing me this morning. But I wanted to go over 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse, verse 13. It says, but we are bound or under obligation to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord or of Christ, because God from the beginning chose you to safety and salvation through sanctification. And that's setting you in a state corresponding to God's nature of the Holy Spirit and belief of the truth.
The truth is that once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous, you're a son of God. That the middle wall of the partition, the mystery was broken down by him. That both the Jews and the Gentiles could be called sons of God.
We're all of the same body. That body of believers, the church, essentially, that body of believers where Christ is the head. But he's called you from the beginning, verse 14, whereunto he called you or summons you by our gospel to the obtaining or acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
You have Christ in you, the power of Christ in you, the hope of glory. You have the Holy Spirit right now, that power from on high and all of it. You have Christ, you have Christ glory in you. That which attracts attention.
It's incredible the things that you're given just by believing in the name of Jesus Christ. Verse 16.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, which hath loved us and gave us an everlasting consolation, an everlasting calling and good hope through grace, speak to or pacify your hearts.
When you get to that place where you're working with God and you go to God and all thy ways, acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.
When you keep and continue to go to God and trust God, that love, that grace, that peace will pacify your heart, the seed of your distinctive character.
Again, your heart is what makes you you.
The things that you think on make you you. And God will comfort and pacify your thoughts.
He'll pacify you in time of trouble. But you got to keep going to him and recognize him. Being reverential, awe. That's that fear of the Lord being reverential, awe of him. He'll comfort your hearts and establish you in. In every good work and word.
Everything that's accomplished by labor, he's going to establish you in. But again you got to go to him. Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may run and have free course to be glorified. And this is the word as pertaining to Christ, the spoken word as pertaining to Christ, that once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous, you're a son of God.
It's not through laws. Your righteousness doesn't come through your acts. Your righteousness come, your righteousness comes through your believing.
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men. For all have not the faith, but Christ is faithful who shall set fast or establish you and guard you from the evil one or the wicked one, or the adversary.
You have somebody on your side guarding you. You have a company of angels surrounding you.
You have Christ in you, the power of Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Everything Christ did on earth, you can do. Because you have Christ in you. You have the Holy Spirit.
That you're protected is the point.
And when you walk with God and when you walk with his Son, man that that peace that you get again grace, which is that loving disposition and peace, which, which is that state of undisturbed well being where you're sitting there. You're not disturbed by the outside will. World will make you full or will fill you up through the instrument of the epignosis. Having a true and personal relationship with God, where you hear from God and you heed his advice and of his son and all that stuff is in the Word.
You got to go to the Word and you got to know it for yourself because it will protect you in times of struggle.
Finally, and the Lord God guide or it's chap. Verse 5. And finally the Lord Christ will guide and direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience as waiting for Christ.
Christ is coming back and when he does, we are out of here.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: And I cannot wait.
[00:05:43] Speaker A: If I'm alive, I cannot wait. It's going to be a wonderful day.
Pray the big prayers today and you pray those praying the big prayers. You pray to God, never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: For today and just for everything that's going on. I thank you for just everything that you've given. I ask that you open up or close the door and everything, all the other business situations that are happening and I pray for our business that you can continually just build it up and protect those people that we work with and also the product that the people that receive it are blessed. And I thank you again for the moments of my life and for the.
[00:06:36] Speaker A: Things that you've given me.
[00:06:37] Speaker B: I pray for a safe trip for my mom with my sister. That that's just a blessing. And yeah, I'm just thankful for your son. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
