Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - When God Steps In, Peace Follows (Part 2) | June 4, 2026

You're not the same person.
00:00:03.925 --> 00:00:05.326
And what i'm going to do through you, if you believe me,
00:00:05.326 --> 00:00:07.962
If you walk faithfully,
00:00:07.962 --> 00:00:09.330
Then i'm going to free my people through you.
00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:12.434
Some of you right now, you don't want to go back,
00:00:12.434 --> 00:00:14.536
But god's going to bring you back to save people.
00:00:14.536 --> 00:00:18.173
And then amazing.
00:00:18.606 --> 00:00:20.375
He has experienced everything that we go through,
00:00:20.375 --> 00:00:23.411
Proving that no matter what it is
00:00:23.411 --> 00:00:25.013
That you are dealing with today, listen, you can trust god
00:00:25.013 --> 00:00:28.383
And you can give god your pain
00:00:28.383 --> 00:00:31.586
Because he has a plan.
00:00:31.586 --> 00:00:33.888
You know what?
00:00:33.888 --> 00:00:34.789
I believe god's word for you tonight is
00:00:34.789 --> 00:00:37.492
Stop worrying.
00:00:37.492 --> 00:00:40.762
Stop worrying.
00:00:40.762 --> 00:00:43.031
Some of you have stressed yourselves out.
00:00:43.031 --> 00:00:45.967
You can't sleep at night.
00:00:45.967 --> 00:00:48.336
But again, look at god's word on this topic.
00:00:48.336 --> 00:00:52.107
Matthew chapter six, verse 25 jesus said this why i tell you
00:00:52.107 --> 00:00:55.510
Not to worry about everyday life,
00:00:55.510 --> 00:00:58.713
Whether you have enough food
00:00:58.713 --> 00:00:59.848
Or drink or enough clothes to wear.
00:00:59.848 --> 00:01:01.883
Life is more important than these things
00:01:01.883 --> 00:01:05.086
Because god's going to provide it when you need it.
00:01:05.086 --> 00:01:08.690
You're more important than food,
00:01:09.324 --> 00:01:10.925
And a body is more important than the clothing.
00:01:10.925 --> 00:01:14.896
Verse 33 though listen to this.
00:01:15.530 --> 00:01:18.233
So when it comes to you worrying and having anxiety
00:01:18.233 --> 00:01:21.169
And feeling like, oh no, god, i don't know if you could
00:01:21.169 --> 00:01:23.004
Show up in my situation, what do you need to do?
00:01:23.004 --> 00:01:24.973
Here's the answer.
00:01:24.973 --> 00:01:25.607
This can set you free today.
00:01:25.607 --> 00:01:28.176
Seek what?
00:01:28.176 --> 00:01:30.011
Not chatgpt.
00:01:30.011 --> 00:01:33.248
Some of y'all got off your phone right now.
00:01:33.248 --> 00:01:34.849
Like. okay.
00:01:34.849 --> 00:01:36.050
All right.
00:01:36.050 --> 00:01:36.985
Not facebook, not instagram, not tiktok.
00:01:36.985 --> 00:01:40.088
Not people in your life that you're seeking
00:01:40.989 --> 00:01:43.124
And not seeking god for. right?
00:01:43.124 --> 00:01:46.194
It's seek what?
00:01:46.194 --> 00:01:47.228
The kingdom of god above all else.
00:01:47.228 --> 00:01:51.499
Live righteously.
00:01:51.933 --> 00:01:52.767
That doesn't mean live perfect.
00:01:52.767 --> 00:01:53.902
It just means live for the lord.
00:01:53.902 --> 00:01:56.171
Know him and he will give you a.
00:01:56.171 --> 00:01:59.240
Let's read that out loud.
00:01:59.807 --> 00:02:00.608
He will give you a
00:02:00.608 --> 00:02:03.011
Say it to the person next to you
00:02:03.011 --> 00:02:05.813
Everything you need.
00:02:05.813 --> 00:02:07.382
I didn't write that.
00:02:07.382 --> 00:02:08.650
God, did
00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:11.252
You hear me on that?
00:02:11.252 --> 00:02:12.887
That didn't come from me.
00:02:12.887 --> 00:02:14.489
That came straight from the word of god.
00:02:14.489 --> 00:02:16.391
So why are you worrying so much?
00:02:16.391 --> 00:02:20.895
See, the christmas story is a reminder that jesus,
00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:25.366
He understands you.
00:02:25.833 --> 00:02:28.069
He understands me,
00:02:28.069 --> 00:02:30.471
And he understands our pain.
00:02:30.471 --> 00:02:33.942
But there's something else, too.
00:02:33.942 --> 00:02:35.310
I want to show you tonight, because i couldn't
00:02:35.310 --> 00:02:38.580
Help but notice a major contrast in the story. see?
00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:42.417
And it kind of funny
00:02:42.417 --> 00:02:43.218
The way we think
00:02:43.218 --> 00:02:44.252
Things should go. because again, many thought
00:02:44.252 --> 00:02:46.487
Jesus is going to come as a king.
00:02:46.487 --> 00:02:48.389
Being born in a palace, having an army.
00:02:48.389 --> 00:02:50.291
And he came as a baby, being born in a manger.
00:02:50.291 --> 00:02:52.627
But there was somebody else
00:02:52.627 --> 00:02:54.529
Stirring up some trouble in the palace,
00:02:54.529 --> 00:02:57.065
And he was being used by the devil.
00:02:57.065 --> 00:03:00.068
His name was king herod the great.
00:03:00.068 --> 00:03:02.070
And if you were with us last week,
00:03:02.070 --> 00:03:04.105
We started
00:03:04.105 --> 00:03:04.706
Talking about the unseen
00:03:04.706 --> 00:03:05.974
Spiritual battle that took place in the kingdom of heaven,
00:03:05.974 --> 00:03:09.844
For satan and his demons were knocked out of heaven.
00:03:09.844 --> 00:03:12.847
Jesus said, i saw him fall like lightning,
00:03:12.847 --> 00:03:15.984
But john saw this vision, and he gives us a word of
00:03:15.984 --> 00:03:19.854
What happened in the spiritual realm over jesus's birth.
00:03:19.854 --> 00:03:24.692
Revelation 12 four and five.
00:03:24.692 --> 00:03:27.362
Here's what john saw in the vision.
00:03:27.362 --> 00:03:28.930
He said.
00:03:28.930 --> 00:03:30.098
He talking about the dragon, talking about satan, stood
00:03:30.098 --> 00:03:33.601
In front of the woman as she was about
00:03:33.601 --> 00:03:36.537
To give birth, ready to devour her baby.
00:03:36.537 --> 00:03:40.575
As soon as it was born.
00:03:40.575 --> 00:03:42.810
She gave birth to a son, though, and he was to rule all nations
00:03:42.810 --> 00:03:47.215
With an iron rod and her child.
00:03:47.215 --> 00:03:50.852
Listen to this was snatched away from the dragon and was caught
00:03:50.852 --> 00:03:54.122
Up to god and to his throne.
00:03:54.122 --> 00:03:57.692
We talked about the spiritual battle last week.
00:03:58.626 --> 00:04:01.963
There are spiritual battles in your life
00:04:01.963 --> 00:04:03.665
That you need to be praying over,
00:04:03.665 --> 00:04:07.001
Because here's a revelation
00:04:07.602 --> 00:04:08.770
I want to share with you tonight.
00:04:08.770 --> 00:04:10.938
Every unseen battle in your life
00:04:10.938 --> 00:04:14.309
Eventually becomes a physical battle.
00:04:14.309 --> 00:04:16.744
You will see.
00:04:16.744 --> 00:04:19.147
You hear me on that.
00:04:19.147 --> 00:04:20.648
Every unseen battle
00:04:20.648 --> 00:04:23.184
Over your life eventually will become a physical battle
00:04:23.184 --> 00:04:26.220
You will have to be ready to face.
00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:29.390
For again, the desperate devil would use a man named herod
00:04:29.390 --> 00:04:32.827
The great for a great evil.
00:04:32.827 --> 00:04:36.531
Now quickly, who is here?
00:04:37.098 --> 00:04:38.666
The great?
00:04:38.666 --> 00:04:40.101
He didn't get that name because he was good,
00:04:40.101 --> 00:04:42.870
Though he did
00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:44.105
Help rebuild the temple, but he did it for political control
00:04:44.105 --> 00:04:47.375
And to try to control the people of the time.
00:04:47.375 --> 00:04:50.511
He actually got it.
00:04:50.978 --> 00:04:51.979
Now listen to this.
00:04:51.979 --> 00:04:52.814
He got it because he was paranoid.
00:04:52.814 --> 00:04:55.049
He was jealous.
00:04:55.049 --> 00:04:56.951
He was ruthless, but he was powerful.
00:04:56.951 --> 00:05:01.489
And so history names him great.
00:05:02.123 --> 00:05:04.025
But heaven doesn't don't get it twisted.
00:05:04.025 --> 00:05:06.894
The world's going to call a lot of people great.
00:05:06.894 --> 00:05:08.629
They're not great in god's eyes
00:05:08.629 --> 00:05:10.765
Because of the rebellion that they led
00:05:10.765 --> 00:05:13.301
Or the disobedience that they had.
00:05:13.301 --> 00:05:14.869
And so herod now listen to this.
00:05:14.869 --> 00:05:16.371
He was driven by everything demonic.
00:05:16.371 --> 00:05:19.507
What was he driven by?
00:05:19.507 --> 00:05:20.708
Listen to this.
00:05:20.708 --> 00:05:21.509
Insecurities and jealousy.
00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:24.112
Now, here's a man that truly was ruthless and evil
00:05:24.112 --> 00:05:27.982
And did a great evil in the christmas story.
00:05:27.982 --> 00:05:31.252
But who was driving his life?
00:05:31.252 --> 00:05:33.654
It wasn't god.
00:05:33.654 --> 00:05:35.022
It was what?
00:05:35.022 --> 00:05:35.990
Jealousy and insecurities.
00:05:35.990 --> 00:05:38.626
Some of you right now
00:05:38.626 --> 00:05:39.660
You're facing the same demons in your life.
00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:43.064
Some of you tonight
00:05:43.064 --> 00:05:44.031
You need to get free from these things
00:05:44.031 --> 00:05:45.533
Because it can get really messy and it can get really bad
00:05:45.533 --> 00:05:48.503
When these things start to control you.
00:05:48.503 --> 00:05:50.304
Because god told cain in the very beginning.
00:05:50.304 --> 00:05:53.541
Hey, you know what?
00:05:54.008 --> 00:05:54.976
Sin is knocking and crouching at your door,
00:05:54.976 --> 00:05:57.044
Ready to not just come in, but control you.
00:05:57.044 --> 00:06:00.815
And so king herod the great was controlled
00:06:00.815 --> 00:06:03.284
By his insecurities and his jealousy.
00:06:03.284 --> 00:06:06.487
Proverbs chapter 27, verse four states
00:06:06.487 --> 00:06:09.457
It like this anger is cruel and wrath is like a flood.
00:06:09.457 --> 00:06:13.728
But listen to this.
00:06:13.728 --> 00:06:14.529
But jealousy is even more dangerous
00:06:14.529 --> 00:06:19.634
When you're looking at somebody else's life, always wanting
00:06:19.634 --> 00:06:22.737
What they have.
00:06:22.737 --> 00:06:23.738
It will drive you mad
00:06:23.738 --> 00:06:27.508
And you hate people, or you will hate people because of this.
00:06:27.508 --> 00:06:32.046
It's a demonic thing.
00:06:32.046 --> 00:06:33.681
See, king herod the great murdered his own wife.
00:06:33.681 --> 00:06:38.252
King herod the great is even
00:06:38.853 --> 00:06:41.222
To have been believed to have murdered his three sons.
00:06:41.222 --> 00:06:44.225
King herod the great
00:06:44.225 --> 00:06:45.626
Then murdered the innocent lives of babies.
00:06:45.626 --> 00:06:49.130
Why? because he wanted control.
00:06:49.764 --> 00:06:53.768
And so anybody that threatened that control in his life,
00:06:53.768 --> 00:06:56.504
He would come after,
00:06:56.504 --> 00:06:57.505
Including his own wife and his own children.
00:06:57.505 --> 00:07:01.742
To him, blood meant nothing and power meant everything.
00:07:01.742 --> 00:07:07.181
That's the demonic capability
00:07:07.181 --> 00:07:10.751
Of jealousy and insecurities in your life.
00:07:11.619 --> 00:07:15.323
And so for a second, i want to touch on that.
00:07:15.323 --> 00:07:17.091
Why are you insecure?
00:07:17.091 --> 00:07:20.761
Why are you comparing your life to everybody else?
00:07:20.761 --> 00:07:22.864
You become insecure when you compare.
00:07:22.864 --> 00:07:25.066
See, this is how jealousy works with insecurities.
00:07:25.066 --> 00:07:28.069
And so look in god's word and see what his word says
00:07:28.069 --> 00:07:32.073
About you, so that you can be free from these things.
00:07:32.073 --> 00:07:36.410
Because he was threatened, king herod
00:07:36.410 --> 00:07:38.513
The great was threatened by everyone.
00:07:38.513 --> 00:07:39.780
Now let's read the story and i'm going to break down
00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:43.784
What we can learn from the christmas story
00:07:43.784 --> 00:07:46.187
In matthew chapter two, verses one through
00:07:46.187 --> 00:07:48.856
Five is where we'll start.
00:07:48.856 --> 00:07:49.790
Okay, matthew two verses one through five
00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:52.894
Says that jesus was born in bethlehem in judea
00:07:52.894 --> 00:07:56.964
During the reign of king herod, and about that time some wise
00:07:56.964 --> 00:08:00.668
Men from the eastern lands arrived in jerusalem, asking,
00:08:00.668 --> 00:08:05.072
Where is the newborn king of the jews?
00:08:05.072 --> 00:08:09.110
For we saw his star
00:08:09.110 --> 00:08:10.811
As it rose, and we have come to worship him.
00:08:10.811 --> 00:08:15.216
King herod was deeply disturbed
00:08:15.216 --> 00:08:18.819
When he heard this, as was everyone in jerusalem.
00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:22.657
That's an interesting statement.
00:08:22.657 --> 00:08:24.292
Go back to it for a second, please.
00:08:24.292 --> 00:08:26.260
Everyone in jerusalem was bothered
00:08:26.260 --> 00:08:29.764
By this statement. why?
00:08:29.764 --> 00:08:32.767
Because people knew if king herod is mad.
00:08:32.767 --> 00:08:36.270
Okay, if king herod is upset, somebody is going to get killed.
00:08:36.270 --> 00:08:41.342
It's not going to be good.
00:08:41.342 --> 00:08:42.743
And so when they started to hear these things,
00:08:42.743 --> 00:08:44.612
They became disturbed because now king herod is disturbed.
00:08:44.612 --> 00:08:48.616
And so he called a meeting
00:08:48.616 --> 00:08:50.952
Of the leading priests and the teachers of religious law.
00:08:50.952 --> 00:08:53.588
And he asked,
00:08:53.588 --> 00:08:54.789
Hey, guys, where is the messiah supposed to be born?
00:08:54.789 --> 00:08:58.859
And they said, in bethlehem and judea,
00:08:58.859 --> 00:09:02.697
For this is what
00:09:03.097 --> 00:09:03.898
The prophet wrote.
00:09:03.898 --> 00:09:07.201
We overlook this.
00:09:07.201 --> 00:09:10.104
To me, this is one of the saddest parts
00:09:10.104 --> 00:09:12.340
Of the christmas story.
00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:15.710
You want to know why?
00:09:15.710 --> 00:09:18.412
Because these prophets knew where jesus,
00:09:18.412 --> 00:09:21.549
Where he would be born.
00:09:22.049 --> 00:09:24.652
They knew the prophecy.
00:09:24.652 --> 00:09:26.687
They knew where bethlehem was.
00:09:26.687 --> 00:09:29.490
And they still decided not to go.
00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:32.927
Think about that for a second.
00:09:33.527 --> 00:09:35.696
They knew the prophecy.
00:09:35.696 --> 00:09:37.765
They knew jesus was born. they knew how to get there.
00:09:37.765 --> 00:09:40.067
But they decided not to go and to worship him.
00:09:40.067 --> 00:09:43.771
They decided to stay and they never moved.
00:09:43.771 --> 00:09:46.607
Meaning you can know exactly where jesus is, but
00:09:46.607 --> 00:09:49.744
Never go to him.
00:09:49.744 --> 00:09:53.147
The very thing that would change their life.
00:09:53.147 --> 00:09:56.484
They stayed around in the palace,
00:09:57.184 --> 00:09:59.787
Maybe because of fear of their own life, but still
00:09:59.787 --> 00:10:03.057
We are not led by a spirit of fear, but a power, love and a
00:10:03.057 --> 00:10:07.461
Sound of mind.
00:10:07.461 --> 00:10:09.664
So verses seven and eight state then.
00:10:10.464 --> 00:10:12.466
Then king herod called for a private meeting
00:10:12.466 --> 00:10:14.769
With the wise men, and he learned from them
00:10:14.769 --> 00:10:17.905
The time when the star first appeared.
00:10:17.905 --> 00:10:19.940
And he told them, you know what?
00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:21.308
Go ahead, go to bethlehem, and starts carefully for the child.
00:10:21.308 --> 00:10:25.212
And when you find him, hey, i tell you what.
00:10:25.212 --> 00:10:26.914
Since we're buddies now, we're friends.
00:10:26.914 --> 00:10:29.784
Tell me about him.
00:10:29.784 --> 00:10:31.752
Come back and tell me where he is.
00:10:31.752 --> 00:10:33.387
Because i would love to go and worship him myself.
00:10:33.387 --> 00:10:38.726
And when the wise men finally arrive.
00:10:39.527 --> 00:10:42.930
I do want us to see this. i'm sorry.
00:10:42.930 --> 00:10:44.432
I don't want to mess up your nativity scenes,
00:10:44.432 --> 00:10:47.535
But i'm gonna mess them up anyway.
00:10:47.535 --> 00:10:48.903
Okay, so.
00:10:48.903 --> 00:10:49.870
So when the wise men actually found jesus.
00:10:49.870 --> 00:10:52.740
Jesus is.
00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:55.142
A baby in a manger.
00:10:55.609 --> 00:10:57.011
He is in a house.
00:10:57.011 --> 00:10:58.312
We know this in matthew chapter two, verse 11.
00:10:58.312 --> 00:11:00.314
They entered the house.
00:11:00.314 --> 00:11:02.249
Okay, at this point,
00:11:02.249 --> 00:11:03.350
And saw the child with his mother, mary,
00:11:03.350 --> 00:11:05.453
And they bowed down and worshiped him.
00:11:05.453 --> 00:11:07.488
But listen to what king herod does when he finds out.
00:11:07.488 --> 00:11:12.026
Matthew chapter two, verses 13 through 15.
00:11:12.026 --> 00:11:15.062
After the wise men were gone, an angel of the lord
00:11:15.062 --> 00:11:18.632
Appeared to joseph in a dream and said, get up.
00:11:18.632 --> 00:11:21.669
Flee to egypt with the child and his mother.
00:11:22.570 --> 00:11:25.172
The angel said, stay there until you return,
00:11:25.172 --> 00:11:28.242
Because herod
00:11:28.242 --> 00:11:29.176
Is going
00:11:29.176 --> 00:11:30.377
To search for the child, and he's going to try to kill him.
00:11:30.377 --> 00:11:33.881
And that night joseph left for egypt with the child
00:11:33.881 --> 00:11:36.851
And mary his mother.
00:11:36.851 --> 00:11:38.419
Would you listen to god like that?
00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:42.189
If god spoke to you
00:11:42.656 --> 00:11:43.824
In a dream in an urgent manner?
00:11:43.824 --> 00:11:47.361
Wake up.
00:11:47.628 --> 00:11:49.964
Walk away from this.
00:11:49.964 --> 00:11:51.332
It's not good for you.
00:11:51.332 --> 00:11:53.300
Walk away from the alcohol that's been consuming you.
00:11:53.300 --> 00:11:57.004
Walk away from the lust.
00:11:57.004 --> 00:11:59.974
Walk away from the toxic relationship.
00:11:59.974 --> 00:12:02.143
He never meant for you.
00:12:02.143 --> 00:12:05.646
If god gave you an urgent
00:12:05.646 --> 00:12:06.814
Message, would you listen to it?
00:12:06.814 --> 00:12:09.817
Or would you deny it?
00:12:09.817 --> 00:12:10.885
Because it's always a matter of life and death?
00:12:10.885 --> 00:12:13.621
In this case, it was a matter of life and death.
00:12:13.621 --> 00:12:17.525
And so they they listened to the lord and they flee to egypt.
00:12:17.525 --> 00:12:21.262
And they stayed there
00:12:21.262 --> 00:12:23.497
Until god told him to return, because herod is going to
00:12:23.497 --> 00:12:26.066
Search, to try to kill the child.
00:12:26.066 --> 00:12:27.568
And so that night joseph left for egypt with his child,
00:12:27.568 --> 00:12:30.070
Mary, his mother.
00:12:30.070 --> 00:12:30.971
They stayed there until herod's death,
00:12:30.971 --> 00:12:32.373
And this fulfilled what the lord had spoken
00:12:32.373 --> 00:12:34.575
Through the prophet i called my son out of egypt,
00:12:34.575 --> 00:12:37.545
The spoken by the prophet isaiah.
00:12:37.545 --> 00:12:40.114
But listen to verse 616 right now.
00:12:40.114 --> 00:12:42.416
Herod was furious when he realized
00:12:42.416 --> 00:12:44.552
That the wise men and how witted him, so he sent soldiers.
00:12:44.552 --> 00:12:48.722
It wasn't enough that he would
00:12:48.722 --> 00:12:51.325
Not only kill his wife and kill his sons.
00:12:51.325 --> 00:12:54.662
He was ruthless because that's what jealousy does.
00:12:54.662 --> 00:12:56.931
It just takes out anybody in your way.
00:12:56.931 --> 00:12:59.133
And now he's killing innocent baby boys,
00:12:59.133 --> 00:13:02.403
And he sends soldiers to kill all the boys in and around
00:13:03.504 --> 00:13:06.407
Bethlehem who were under two years old and under.
00:13:06.407 --> 00:13:10.811
Based on the wise men's report of the stars first appearance.
00:13:10.811 --> 00:13:15.649
So what can we learn
00:13:15.649 --> 00:13:18.485
From the story about king herod?
00:13:18.485 --> 00:13:20.154
What can we apply to our own life?
00:13:20.154 --> 00:13:23.057
I need you to understand this.
00:13:23.057 --> 00:13:24.425
First, satan attacks what threatens his control.
00:13:24.425 --> 00:13:29.230
Have you ever noticed when you were living in
00:13:30.164 --> 00:13:32.266
Sin and rebellion against god,
00:13:32.266 --> 00:13:35.603
You didn't really notice the spiritual warfare happening?
00:13:35.603 --> 00:13:39.173
Are these problems in your life happening?
00:13:39.173 --> 00:13:41.242
But guess what?
00:13:41.242 --> 00:13:42.443
The moment you gave your life to christ, what happened?
00:13:42.443 --> 00:13:45.045
What happened?
00:13:45.379 --> 00:13:46.747
Some problems.
00:13:46.747 --> 00:13:48.182
Right? why?
00:13:48.182 --> 00:13:49.083
Because now you have become a threat.
00:13:49.083 --> 00:13:52.419
You become a threat to hell.
00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:54.822
You become a threat to the enemy. why?
00:13:54.822 --> 00:13:57.258
Because heaven sees something inside of you.
00:13:57.258 --> 00:14:01.428
And how? can't stop it.
00:14:01.428 --> 00:14:04.732
I want you to listen.
00:14:04.732 --> 00:14:06.267
Don't get discouraged.
00:14:06.267 --> 00:14:08.068
I hear it all the time. pastor, i give my life to jesus.
00:14:08.068 --> 00:14:10.871
Got baptized. life got harder.
00:14:10.871 --> 00:14:15.142
Good for you.
00:14:15.509 --> 00:14:17.311
Because that's what happens.
00:14:17.311 --> 00:14:19.713
You think satan's going to let you be comfortable now? no.
00:14:19.713 --> 00:14:24.051
The enemy, though, will attack a marriage that threatens hell.
00:14:25.219 --> 00:14:28.489
Keep praying together.
00:14:28.489 --> 00:14:30.724
Keep showing
00:14:30.724 --> 00:14:31.859
People a testimony of true love and what it looks like.
00:14:31.859 --> 00:14:34.762
The enemy's going to come after a family putting god first.
00:14:34.762 --> 00:14:37.531
The enemy is going to come after the promises
00:14:37.531 --> 00:14:39.867
That god has spoken over you.
00:14:39.867 --> 00:14:41.402
But do not worry, because just like the wise
00:14:41.402 --> 00:14:44.571
Men and joseph, god speaks.
00:14:44.571 --> 00:14:48.142
You know what god speaks.
00:14:48.709 --> 00:14:51.011
He always speaks with the enemy has planned for you.
00:14:51.011 --> 00:14:55.082
So that you can decide to follow god
00:14:55.082 --> 00:14:59.486
Or to do your own thing.
00:14:59.486 --> 00:15:02.056
The second thing is this.
00:15:02.056 --> 00:15:03.324
Here's what we can learn from herod's story.
00:15:03.324 --> 00:15:05.693
Not everything or everyone.
00:15:05.693 --> 00:15:07.661
That sounds spiritual, okay, heard it
00:15:07.661 --> 00:15:10.731
From god or that it came from god.
00:15:10.731 --> 00:15:14.368
Some of y'all really need to write this down.
00:15:14.368 --> 00:15:17.071
I promise you, you're going to encounter this.
00:15:17.071 --> 00:15:19.707
Somebody's going to come up to you tonight
00:15:19.707 --> 00:15:21.041
And say, you know what i heard from the lord?
00:15:21.041 --> 00:15:22.977
Me and you should get married.
00:15:22.977 --> 00:15:24.244
They did not hear that from the lord.
00:15:24.244 --> 00:15:26.013
Rebuke them in name of jesus and run,
00:15:26.013 --> 00:15:29.016
Because i promise you, some of you got that story.
00:15:30.017 --> 00:15:32.953
But listen to what harris said in matthew two verse eight.
00:15:32.953 --> 00:15:35.456
He said, go to bethlehem.
00:15:35.456 --> 00:15:38.425
Tell me all about him.
00:15:38.425 --> 00:15:39.827
And when you find him,
00:15:39.827 --> 00:15:40.761
Come back and tell me, so that i can where
00:15:40.761 --> 00:15:43.063
So that i can worship him.
00:15:43.063 --> 00:15:44.698
This was a full on lie.
00:15:44.698 --> 00:15:47.668
And here's a gift by the holy spirit.
00:15:47.668 --> 00:15:50.170
The holy spirit will help you
00:15:50.170 --> 00:15:51.271
Discern the difference between the holy spirit speaking
00:15:51.271 --> 00:15:55.776
The voice of god compared to demonic spirits,
00:15:55.776 --> 00:15:59.913
Okay, demonic entities or demonic influences.
00:15:59.913 --> 00:16:03.083
Because why? here's why it's important.
00:16:03.083 --> 00:16:05.252
Flattery can be a trap.
00:16:05.252 --> 00:16:08.789
Stop just following things that sound good to you,
00:16:08.789 --> 00:16:12.126
That flatter you.
00:16:12.126 --> 00:16:13.594
Because proverbs chapter 29 verse five says this.
00:16:13.594 --> 00:16:17.131
To flatter friends is to lay a trap for their feet.
00:16:17.131 --> 00:16:21.568
Some people
00:16:21.902 --> 00:16:22.870
Only flatter you to get something out of you,
00:16:22.870 --> 00:16:25.806
But god will speak to you.
00:16:25.806 --> 00:16:27.708
God will help you.
00:16:27.708 --> 00:16:29.710
And the last thing is this, though.
00:16:29.710 --> 00:16:31.945
Okay, here's the last thing.
00:16:31.945 --> 00:16:34.148
The devil is loud,
00:16:34.148 --> 00:16:37.184
But god is always ed.
00:16:37.184 --> 00:16:41.155
You know why the devil is loud?
00:16:41.789 --> 00:16:44.191
Because he can't touch you.
00:16:44.191 --> 00:16:47.194
I want you to picture it like this.
00:16:47.194 --> 00:16:49.363
The devil is shouting at you
00:16:49.363 --> 00:16:51.031
Because he can't get close to you.
00:16:51.031 --> 00:16:53.300
The devil is shouting lies at you, trying to torment you.
00:16:53.300 --> 00:16:57.004
But he's way over there.
00:16:57.004 --> 00:16:59.373
And so we assist. shout at you.
00:16:59.373 --> 00:17:01.208
You're never going to be anything.
00:17:01.208 --> 00:17:02.976
Life's never going to change.
00:17:02.976 --> 00:17:04.711
Things are going to go well for you.
00:17:04.711 --> 00:17:07.581
But that's a lie.
00:17:07.581 --> 00:17:09.450
Because the devil is so far away.
00:17:09.450 --> 00:17:10.818
He has to shout.
00:17:10.818 --> 00:17:11.819
But i can hear the voice of god like a whisper.
00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:16.223
Because i know that the lord is with me.
00:17:16.223 --> 00:17:19.393
God will whisper to you just to prove to you.
00:17:20.327 --> 00:17:23.764
He's that close.
00:17:23.764 --> 00:17:26.633
The devil can be loud, but god is always ahead.
00:17:26.633 --> 00:17:30.003
Again, matthew chapter two, verse 13.
00:17:30.737 --> 00:17:32.706
An angel appeared to joseph in a dream.
00:17:32.706 --> 00:17:34.508
Get up and flee to egypt with a child and his mother.
00:17:34.508 --> 00:17:39.379
Verse 19 listen to this.
00:17:39.913 --> 00:17:41.348
When herod died, the angel of the lord
00:17:41.348 --> 00:17:44.351
Appeared in a dream to joseph in egypt.
00:17:44.351 --> 00:17:48.455
And get up, he said, the angel said,
00:17:48.455 --> 00:17:50.491
Take the child and his mother back to the land of israel,
00:17:50.491 --> 00:17:54.428
Because those who were trying to kill the child are now dead.
00:17:54.428 --> 00:17:59.633
God's plan will always be fulfilled.
00:17:59.633 --> 00:18:03.203
The enemy will always be removed.
00:18:03.203 --> 00:18:05.672
They cannot touch you.
00:18:05.672 --> 00:18:07.007
They can yell at you, but they cannot stop.
00:18:07.007 --> 00:18:10.878
They cannot stop the promises of god.
00:18:11.712 --> 00:18:15.716
God was never surprised.
00:18:16.250 --> 00:18:21.188
He's never late.
00:18:21.588 --> 00:18:22.422
He's never nervous.
00:18:22.422 --> 00:18:25.125
Because satan can't kill what god has promised.
00:18:25.125 --> 00:18:28.862
And satan can't curse
00:18:29.363 --> 00:18:32.432
What god has blessed.
00:18:32.432 --> 00:18:35.169
Here's the beauty of christmas.
00:18:35.169 --> 00:18:36.403
Now listen to this.
00:18:36.403 --> 00:18:37.337
Herod sent orders, decrees.
00:18:37.337 --> 00:18:41.208
God sent dreams,
00:18:41.608 --> 00:18:44.178
And he spoke quietly in the middle
00:18:44.178 --> 00:18:46.313
Of the night to those who would listen.
00:18:46.313 --> 00:18:49.449
Herod said, soldiers,
00:18:49.449 --> 00:18:52.886
Gods, and angels,
00:18:52.886 --> 00:18:55.822
And one angel can take out
00:18:55.822 --> 00:18:57.991
Thousands upon thousands
00:18:57.991 --> 00:19:01.094
Of human soldiers.
00:19:01.094 --> 00:19:03.363
Herod tried to kill jesus to save his throne.
00:19:03.363 --> 00:19:07.968
Jesus willingly stepped off his.
00:19:08.602 --> 00:19:13.473
To save your soul.
00:19:13.907 --> 00:19:17.844
Like please don't miss
00:19:18.312 --> 00:19:21.281
Said no.
00:19:21.281 --> 00:19:21.982
We look at the christmas story.
00:19:21.982 --> 00:19:23.083
A beautiful baby that represents the son of god.
00:19:23.083 --> 00:19:26.053
But he stepped off his throne
00:19:26.053 --> 00:19:29.456
When they were evil men in the world,
00:19:29.456 --> 00:19:31.725
Willing to kill the innocent to keep theirs.
00:19:31.725 --> 00:19:37.431
He stepped off
00:19:37.764 --> 00:19:38.465
His throne to save us.
00:19:38.465 --> 00:19:41.535
Herod ruled through fear,
00:19:41.535 --> 00:19:44.871
But jesus reigns through love.
00:19:44.871 --> 00:19:48.709
The love of god is endless.
00:19:49.309 --> 00:19:52.346
His mercy is greater than anything
00:19:52.346 --> 00:19:54.414
We can fathom.
00:19:54.414 --> 00:19:57.484
Listen to this.
00:19:57.484 --> 00:19:58.185
Herod took lives,
00:19:58.185 --> 00:20:01.321
But jesus gave his life
00:20:01.822 --> 00:20:05.592
For you.
00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:09.463
Jesus gave his life for you.
00:20:09.463 --> 00:20:12.532
Jesus knew the pain that he would go through,
00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:16.403
Save you, to redeem you, to restore you.
00:20:16.403 --> 00:20:19.773
And so i'm here to tell you tonight, more than anything
00:20:20.907 --> 00:20:23.944
Else, it's not too late to run to god.
00:20:23.944 --> 00:20:29.116
I know it's christmas.
00:20:29.583 --> 00:20:30.617
And sometimes we come into this place
00:20:30.617 --> 00:20:32.219
Pretending like we got it all together.
00:20:32.219 --> 00:20:35.922
Some of you, you've been very,
00:20:36.523 --> 00:20:37.691
Very distant from the lord.
00:20:37.691 --> 00:20:41.028
When's the last time
00:20:41.495 --> 00:20:42.663
You've heard his whisper?
00:20:42.663 --> 00:20:46.300
When's the last time you knew that he was near?
00:20:46.300 --> 00:20:49.703
For the baby wrapped in cloth.
00:20:50.304 --> 00:20:54.074
Would one day be wrapped in scars.
00:20:54.074 --> 00:20:58.478
To save you
00:20:58.812 --> 00:21:01.548
And to save me.
00:21:01.548 --> 00:21:05.719
That means something.
00:21:06.219 --> 00:21:09.389
And it means don't give up.
00:21:09.389 --> 00:21:12.993
Don't stop praying.
00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:15.128
Listen, i know some of you.
00:21:15.128 --> 00:21:16.363
You're on the verge because you haven't seen it yet.
00:21:16.363 --> 00:21:19.066
Keep praying
00:21:19.066 --> 00:21:22.102
Because you don't know what god is doing behind the scenes.
00:21:22.102 --> 00:21:26.106
Keep believing.
00:21:26.473 --> 00:21:29.910
Even when it feels like it hurts.
00:21:29.910 --> 00:21:34.781
Because jesus
00:21:35.148 --> 00:21:35.849
Paid the price for you. and
00:21:35.849 --> 00:21:39.286
Again, let me remind you,
00:21:39.286 --> 00:21:40.454
Let god handle it,
00:21:40.454 --> 00:21:43.623
Whatever you're dealing with.
00:21:43.623 --> 00:21:46.226
And so now here's what i want to do.
00:21:46.226 --> 00:21:48.495
All of you should have received a communion cup.
00:21:48.495 --> 00:21:54.668
And i'm going to ask somebody
00:21:55.302 --> 00:21:57.204
To bring me one and a candle as well.
00:21:57.204 --> 00:22:00.941
They don't seem to be on my podium.
00:22:00.941 --> 00:22:03.877
I have one.
00:22:04.211 --> 00:22:07.514
Thank you.
00:22:07.514 --> 00:22:08.248
Layla.
00:22:07.948 --> 00:22:17.224
The bread.
00:22:17.524 --> 00:22:19.826
The bread represents the body of christ.
00:22:19.826 --> 00:22:24.798
And his body
00:22:25.132 --> 00:22:25.799
Was broken for you and for me.
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.802
In luke chapter 22, verse 19.
00:22:28.802 --> 00:22:32.305
Jesus took some of the bread, and he gave
00:22:32.305 --> 00:22:33.940
Thanks to god for it.
00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:36.443
And then he broke it in pieces,
00:22:36.443 --> 00:22:40.013
And he gave it to the disciples, saying,
00:22:40.013 --> 00:22:42.082
This is my body
00:22:42.082 --> 00:22:45.152
Which is given for you.
00:22:45.152 --> 00:22:47.921
Do this in remembrance of me.
00:22:47.921 --> 00:22:51.625
Let us pray, and then we'll eat.
00:22:51.625 --> 00:22:52.893
God, i thank you, father.
00:22:52.893 --> 00:22:54.361
I thank you, jesus, as you pay the price for us to be saved.
00:22:54.361 --> 00:22:59.332
And i know that we can't truly fathom it.
00:22:59.332 --> 00:23:02.969
But god, i thank you, lord, that your body
00:23:02.969 --> 00:23:06.339
Was broken and crucified
00:23:06.873 --> 00:23:09.576
So that we may be saved in jesus name.
00:23:09.576 --> 00:23:14.014
You may eat the bread.
00:23:14.481 --> 00:23:20.921
You should have some
00:23:21.388 --> 00:23:22.088
Juice underneath it.
00:23:22.088 --> 00:23:31.731
And the juice.
00:23:32.065 --> 00:23:35.168
Represents the blood of christ,
00:23:35.802 --> 00:23:39.139
The blood that he's shed for us.
00:23:39.773 --> 00:23:43.176
Luke 22, verse 20 states, after supper
00:23:43.176 --> 00:23:45.712
He took another cup of wine, and he said, this cup.
00:23:45.712 --> 00:23:51.351
This cup is the new covenant
00:23:51.952 --> 00:23:54.421
Between god and his people.
00:23:54.421 --> 00:23:56.923
And agreement confirmed with my blood,
00:23:56.923 --> 00:24:00.694
Which is poured out as a sacrifice
00:24:01.428 --> 00:24:04.798
For you.
00:24:05.065 --> 00:24:06.700
God, i thank you, lord, for the blood that you shed.
00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:10.837
I thank you, jesus,
00:24:11.304 --> 00:24:13.773
For the price that you paid.
00:24:13.773 --> 00:24:17.110
We love you.
00:24:17.110 --> 00:24:18.645
In jesus name.
00:24:18.645 --> 00:24:21.781
Amen. you may drink.
00:24:21.781 --> 00:24:24.951
All right, guys, well, that's all the time we have for today.
00:24:24.951 --> 00:24:27.354
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:24:27.354 --> 00:24:31.091
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:24:31.091 --> 00:24:33.660
It's not by mistake.
00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:35.095
You're here for a reason, and god has a plan for you.
00:24:35.095 --> 00:24:38.832
And listen,
00:24:38.832 --> 00:24:39.933
