>> joyce: and i'll tell you something.
00:00:01.024 --> 00:00:01.357
>> joyce: and i'll tell you something. i think every one of us
00:00:01.424 --> 00:00:02.225
You something. i think every one of us could pray everyday,
00:00:02.292 --> 00:00:03.860
I think every one of us could pray everyday, "god, please help me not
00:00:03.927 --> 00:00:05.495
Could pray everyday, "god, please help me not to be deceived."
00:00:05.562 --> 00:00:09.032
"god, please help me not to be deceived." and i've been praying lately,
00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:10.100
To be deceived." and i've been praying lately, "if i'm believing anything
00:00:10.166 --> 00:00:12.735
And i've been praying lately, "if i'm believing anything that's not true,
00:00:12.802 --> 00:00:15.238
"if i'm believing anything that's not true, please reveal it to me."
00:00:15.305 --> 00:00:16.806
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer,
00:00:19.109 --> 00:00:20.009
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer, and i believe that god can heal
00:00:20.076 --> 00:00:22.412
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer, and i believe that god can heal you everywhere you hurt.
00:00:22.479 --> 00:00:25.048
>> joyce: alright, title
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:30.019
>> joyce: alright, title of my message this morning,
00:00:30.086 --> 00:00:31.087
>> joyce: alright, title of my message this morning, "is how many lies
00:00:31.154 --> 00:00:31.688
Of my message this morning, "is how many lies do you believe?"
00:00:31.754 --> 00:00:36.159
How many lies do you believe?
00:00:38.561 --> 00:00:43.166
How many lies do you believe? it's a serious subject because
00:00:43.233 --> 00:00:47.137
If you believe a lie,
00:00:47.203 --> 00:00:48.872
If you believe a lie, even though it's not true,
00:00:48.938 --> 00:00:53.176
If you believe a lie, even though it's not true, it becomes true to you because
00:00:53.243 --> 00:00:56.412
Even though it's not true, it becomes true to you because that's what you believe.
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.616
It becomes true to you because that's what you believe. and even though it's a lie,
00:00:59.682 --> 00:01:01.117
That's what you believe. and even though it's a lie, you'll react
00:01:01.184 --> 00:01:02.952
And even though it's a lie, you'll react as if it's the truth.
00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:04.821
You'll react as if it's the truth. and that's how satan gets
00:01:04.888 --> 00:01:09.192
As if it's the truth. and that's how satan gets an entryway into our lives.
00:01:09.259 --> 00:01:11.461
And that's how satan gets an entryway into our lives. he is a liar,
00:01:11.528 --> 00:01:14.430
An entryway into our lives. he is a liar, the father of lies,
00:01:14.497 --> 00:01:15.498
He is a liar, the father of lies, the great deceiver.
00:01:15.565 --> 00:01:19.235
The father of lies, the great deceiver. and we're told in the bible
00:01:19.302 --> 00:01:20.336
The great deceiver. and we're told in the bible that as the last days approach--
00:01:20.403 --> 00:01:22.739
And we're told in the bible that as the last days approach-- and if we're not living in 'em,
00:01:22.805 --> 00:01:24.707
That as the last days approach-- and if we're not living in 'em, i don't know when anybody
00:01:24.774 --> 00:01:25.742
And if we're not living in 'em, i don't know when anybody ever has.
00:01:25.808 --> 00:01:28.044
I don't know when anybody ever has. as the last days approach that
00:01:28.111 --> 00:01:29.746
Ever has. as the last days approach that deception will become greater
00:01:29.812 --> 00:01:31.948
As the last days approach that deception will become greater and greater in the earth.
00:01:32.015 --> 00:01:36.152
Deception will become greater and greater in the earth. how many of you see the--
00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:38.655
And greater in the earth. how many of you see the-- without even doing too much
00:01:38.721 --> 00:01:39.989
How many of you see the-- without even doing too much thinking about it,
00:01:40.056 --> 00:01:41.157
Without even doing too much thinking about it, you can see the deception
00:01:41.224 --> 00:01:42.825
Thinking about it, you can see the deception at work out in the world today?
00:01:42.892 --> 00:01:46.629
Alright, john 8:44,
00:01:47.664 --> 00:01:50.433
Alright, john 8:44, "'you belong to your father,
00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:51.401
Alright, john 8:44, "'you belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry
00:01:51.467 --> 00:01:54.304
"'you belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires.
00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:56.673
The devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. he was a murderer
00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:57.540
Out your father's desires. he was a murderer from the beginning,
00:01:57.607 --> 00:01:59.242
He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth,
00:01:59.309 --> 00:02:01.678
From the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.
00:02:01.744 --> 00:02:03.947
Not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. when he lies,
00:02:04.013 --> 00:02:05.515
For there is no truth in him. when he lies, he speaks his native language.'"
00:02:05.582 --> 00:02:06.783
When he lies, he speaks his native language.'" i like that.
00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:07.750
He speaks his native language.'" i like that. just like i speak english,
00:02:07.817 --> 00:02:09.285
I like that. just like i speak english, the devil speaks lies.
00:02:09.352 --> 00:02:12.121
Just like i speak english, the devil speaks lies. that's his language.
00:02:12.188 --> 00:02:13.089
The devil speaks lies. that's his language. he speaks the language of lies.
00:02:13.156 --> 00:02:18.895
That's his language. he speaks the language of lies. "'for he is a liar
00:02:18.962 --> 00:02:20.363
He speaks the language of lies. "'for he is a liar and the father of lies.'"
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:22.832
"'for he is a liar and the father of lies.'" well, now, jesus is being pretty
00:02:22.899 --> 00:02:24.567
And the father of lies.'" well, now, jesus is being pretty stern here.
00:02:24.634 --> 00:02:25.535
He said, "you are of your
00:02:25.602 --> 00:02:26.936
He said, "you are of your father, the devil."
00:02:27.003 --> 00:02:28.605
He said, "you are of your father, the devil." who was he talking to?
00:02:28.671 --> 00:02:31.774
Father, the devil." who was he talking to? he was talking to,
00:02:31.841 --> 00:02:34.143
Who was he talking to? he was talking to, "religious people."
00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:38.548
He was talking to, "religious people." hmm...
00:02:38.615 --> 00:02:41.551
"religious people." hmm... i didn't say, "godly people,"
00:02:41.618 --> 00:02:42.819
Hmm... i didn't say, "godly people," i said, "religious people."
00:02:42.885 --> 00:02:47.123
I didn't say, "godly people," i said, "religious people." you know how many people march
00:02:47.190 --> 00:02:48.324
I said, "religious people." you know how many people march off to a church somewhere
00:02:48.391 --> 00:02:49.392
You know how many people march off to a church somewhere every single sunday?
00:02:49.459 --> 00:02:52.462
Off to a church somewhere every single sunday? and they have like, zero,
00:02:52.528 --> 00:02:54.697
Every single sunday? and they have like, zero, real relationship with god.
00:02:54.764 --> 00:02:57.600
And they have like, zero, real relationship with god. they're just doing what they
00:02:57.667 --> 00:03:00.670
Real relationship with god. they're just doing what they think they should be doing.
00:03:00.737 --> 00:03:02.305
They're just doing what they think they should be doing. and they're not necessarily
00:03:02.372 --> 00:03:04.674
Think they should be doing. and they're not necessarily bad people but they don't
00:03:04.741 --> 00:03:07.543
And they're not necessarily bad people but they don't realize that jesus didn't die
00:03:07.610 --> 00:03:09.078
Bad people but they don't realize that jesus didn't die so we could all have our own
00:03:09.145 --> 00:03:10.213
Realize that jesus didn't die so we could all have our own little brand of religion.
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.450
So we could all have our own little brand of religion. but he died so we could have
00:03:14.517 --> 00:03:15.752
Little brand of religion. but he died so we could have a deep, intimate, personal
00:03:15.818 --> 00:03:21.758
But he died so we could have a deep, intimate, personal relationship with him.
00:03:21.824 --> 00:03:24.160
A deep, intimate, personal relationship with him. as long as your experience
00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:25.828
Relationship with him. as long as your experience is just, "i go to church,"
00:03:25.895 --> 00:03:28.598
As long as your experience is just, "i go to church," then you're missing
00:03:28.665 --> 00:03:29.699
Is just, "i go to church," then you're missing the point, entirely.
00:03:29.766 --> 00:03:33.369
Then you're missing the point, entirely. you are the church.
00:03:33.436 --> 00:03:37.273
The point, entirely. you are the church. he lives in us.
00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:39.509
You are the church. he lives in us. we corporately are the church.
00:03:39.575 --> 00:03:43.146
He lives in us. we corporately are the church. and by the way,
00:03:43.212 --> 00:03:44.180
We corporately are the church. and by the way, just in case the thought
00:03:44.247 --> 00:03:45.081
And by the way, just in case the thought hasn't occurred to you,
00:03:45.148 --> 00:03:46.783
Just in case the thought hasn't occurred to you, jesus is here today
00:03:46.849 --> 00:03:48.217
Hasn't occurred to you, jesus is here today in the midst of us.
00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:50.453
Jesus is here today in the midst of us. >> [audience applauding]

00:03:59.562 --> 00:04:01.831
In the midst of you, if you have received him as your lord and savior.
00:04:01.898 --> 00:04:03.666
If you have received him as your lord and savior. and god does a lot for us.
00:04:03.733 --> 00:04:05.301
As your lord and savior. and god does a lot for us. how many of you agree that

And god does a lot for us. how many of you agree that he does a lot for us?

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:12.008
>> joyce: okay, but now, let me tell you the second part that some people don't get.
00:04:12.075 --> 00:04:13.609
Let me tell you the second part that some people don't get. he also, expects a lot from us.
00:04:13.676 --> 00:04:19.282
That some people don't get. he also, expects a lot from us. this is not just a one-sided
00:04:19.349 --> 00:04:20.717
He also, expects a lot from us. this is not just a one-sided thing where we just get this
00:04:20.783 --> 00:04:23.853
This is not just a one-sided thing where we just get this heavenly santa claus type
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.722
Thing where we just get this heavenly santa claus type thing where, you know,
00:04:25.788 --> 00:04:28.157
Heavenly santa claus type thing where, you know, every time we need something,
00:04:28.224 --> 00:04:29.559
Thing where, you know, every time we need something, we run and ask god for it.
00:04:29.625 --> 00:04:30.660
Every time we need something, we run and ask god for it. but he says,
00:04:30.727 --> 00:04:34.330
We run and ask god for it. but he says, "i will, if you will."
00:04:34.397 --> 00:04:38.735
But he says, "i will, if you will." "if you do this, i'll do this.
00:04:38.801 --> 00:04:40.203
"i will, if you will." "if you do this, i'll do this. "if you do this, i'll do this."
00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:45.541
"if you do this, i'll do this. "if you do this, i'll do this." i'm actually, working
00:04:45.608 --> 00:04:46.275
"if you do this, i'll do this." i'm actually, working on a project in proverbs.
00:04:46.342 --> 00:04:49.312
I'm actually, working on a project in proverbs. i got an itch to write a book
00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:51.080
On a project in proverbs. i got an itch to write a book on proverbs and so, i'm about
00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:55.651
I got an itch to write a book on proverbs and so, i'm about halfway through that
00:04:55.718 --> 00:04:56.819
On proverbs and so, i'm about halfway through that and a handful things that i find
00:04:56.886 --> 00:04:59.622
Halfway through that and a handful things that i find very interesting is--
00:04:59.689 --> 00:05:01.991
I don't know,
00:05:02.859 --> 00:05:03.426
I don't know, there's probably 12 main
00:05:03.493 --> 00:05:04.794
I don't know, there's probably 12 main subjects in proverbs,
00:05:04.861 --> 00:05:06.462
There's probably 12 main subjects in proverbs, but he just repeats things
00:05:06.529 --> 00:05:08.498
Subjects in proverbs, but he just repeats things over, and over,
00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:09.966
But he just repeats things over, and over, and over, that you know,
00:05:10.032 --> 00:05:11.501
Over, and over, and over, that you know, now that i'm on chapter 17,
00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:13.035
And over, that you know, now that i'm on chapter 17, i'm thinking, "well, what am
00:05:13.102 --> 00:05:16.038
Now that i'm on chapter 17, i'm thinking, "well, what am i gonna say that i haven't
00:05:16.105 --> 00:05:17.273
I'm thinking, "well, what am i gonna say that i haven't said before?"
00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:18.241
I gonna say that i haven't said before?" and then, the thought came
00:05:18.307 --> 00:05:19.375
Said before?" and then, the thought came to me, "well, if god just kept
00:05:19.442 --> 00:05:22.011
And then, the thought came to me, "well, if god just kept repeating himself, i guess
00:05:22.078 --> 00:05:23.413
To me, "well, if god just kept repeating himself, i guess it's okay if i do too."
00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:24.480
Repeating himself, i guess it's okay if i do too." >> [audience laughing]
00:05:24.547 --> 00:05:27.917
>> joyce: but the one thing
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:31.320
>> joyce: but the one thing you learn in proverbs is that
00:05:31.387 --> 00:05:35.358
>> joyce: but the one thing you learn in proverbs is that if you walk in wisdom,
00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:38.494
You'll be blessed.
00:05:38.561 --> 00:05:40.329
You'll be blessed. and if you're a fool,
00:05:40.396 --> 00:05:43.833
You'll be blessed. and if you're a fool, you won't be blessed.
00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:46.035
And if you're a fool, you won't be blessed. it's just that simple.
00:05:46.102 --> 00:05:47.503
You won't be blessed. it's just that simple. if we do what god asks
00:05:47.570 --> 00:05:48.771
It's just that simple. if we do what god asks us to do--
00:05:48.838 --> 00:05:50.239
If we do what god asks us to do-- i don't care how big
00:05:50.306 --> 00:05:51.641
Us to do-- i don't care how big of a mess your life is in,
00:05:51.707 --> 00:05:53.443
I don't care how big of a mess your life is in, if you would take the bible
00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:55.912
Of a mess your life is in, if you would take the bible and begin to learn what's in it
00:05:55.978 --> 00:05:58.414
If you would take the bible and begin to learn what's in it and apply it to your life,
00:05:58.481 --> 00:06:01.417
And begin to learn what's in it and apply it to your life, your life will change
00:06:01.484 --> 00:06:04.387
And apply it to your life, your life will change and you will have what god
00:06:04.454 --> 00:06:06.322
Your life will change and you will have what god says you can have.
00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:07.857
And you will have what god says you can have. >> [audience applauding]
00:06:07.924 --> 00:06:11.093
>> joyce: religion can be more
00:06:13.930 --> 00:06:15.031
>> joyce: religion can be more deceptive than anything
00:06:15.097 --> 00:06:18.167
>> joyce: religion can be more deceptive than anything because it's easy to think,
00:06:18.234 --> 00:06:19.869

I mean, truly living for him.
00:06:38.721 --> 00:06:41.424
I mean, truly living for him. do we believe that song
00:06:41.491 --> 00:06:43.459
I mean, truly living for him. do we believe that song that they just sang,
00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:44.527
Do we believe that song that they just sang, "i can't get enough.
00:06:44.594 --> 00:06:47.296
That they just sang, "i can't get enough. i can't get enough."

2 corinthians 11:3, paul said, "but i'm afraid that just as eve
00:07:29.038 --> 00:07:30.606
2 corinthians 11:3, paul said, "but i'm afraid that just as eve was deceived by the serpent's
00:07:30.673 --> 00:07:31.908
"but i'm afraid that just as eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may
00:07:31.974 --> 00:07:35.044
Was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from

Cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion
00:07:37.547 --> 00:07:40.850
Somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to christ."
00:07:40.917 --> 00:07:42.585
Your sincere and pure devotion to christ." so, paul had this concern
00:07:42.652 --> 00:07:46.455
That people were going
00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:47.723
That people were going to be deceived.
00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:48.691
That people were going to be deceived. and i'll tell you something.
00:07:48.758 --> 00:07:49.725
To be deceived. and i'll tell you something. i think every one of us could
00:07:49.792 --> 00:07:51.360
And i'll tell you something. i think every one of us could pray everyday, "god, please
00:07:51.427 --> 00:07:53.462
I think every one of us could pray everyday, "god, please help me not to be deceived."
00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:57.800
Pray everyday, "god, please help me not to be deceived." and i've been praying lately,
00:07:57.867 --> 00:07:59.001
Help me not to be deceived." and i've been praying lately, "if i'm believing anything
00:07:59.068 --> 00:08:01.704
And i've been praying lately, "if i'm believing anything that's not true, please reveal

"if i'm believing anything that's not true, please reveal it to me."
00:08:04.907 --> 00:08:06.375
That's not true, please reveal it to me." it's a very deceptive thing
00:08:06.442 --> 00:08:07.910
It to me." it's a very deceptive thing because when you're deceived,
00:08:07.977 --> 00:08:09.679
It's a very deceptive thing because when you're deceived, you're believing a lie,
00:08:09.745 --> 00:08:12.081
Because when you're deceived, you're believing a lie, but the very nature of the word
00:08:12.148 --> 00:08:13.316
You're believing a lie, but the very nature of the word deception means that you don't
00:08:13.382 --> 00:08:15.051
But the very nature of the word deception means that you don't know that you're believing
00:08:15.117 --> 00:08:16.319
Deception means that you don't know that you're believing a lie.
00:08:16.385 --> 00:08:18.788
Know that you're believing a lie. and so, we need to pray that
00:08:18.854 --> 00:08:20.122
A lie. and so, we need to pray that god will reveal truth to us
00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:22.925
And so, we need to pray that god will reveal truth to us in every area of our life.

00:11:56.839 --> 00:11:58.941
Of trembling, when we think god's in the house. amen?

00:12:03.212 --> 00:12:07.016
To believe that it's just, you know, all dessert and sweet, and you know, kind and nice.
00:12:07.082 --> 00:12:09.552
You know, all dessert and sweet, and you know, kind and nice. and we need that, we all need

And you know, kind and nice. and we need that, we all need to be encouraged, but we need

And we need that, we all need to be encouraged, but we need to be corrected too.
00:12:12.388 --> 00:12:14.423
To be encouraged, but we need to be corrected too. and we need to learn
00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:15.591
To be corrected too. and we need to learn to let the word do that
00:12:15.658 --> 00:12:17.593
And we need to learn to let the word do that and to receive it personally,
00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:19.495
To let the word do that and to receive it personally, for ourselves.
00:12:19.562 --> 00:12:20.462
And to receive it personally, for ourselves. so, the devil talks to us.
00:12:20.529 --> 00:12:22.698
For ourselves. so, the devil talks to us. "the serpent was more crafty

So, the devil talks to us. "the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals.

You gotta be careful about engaging the devil in conversation.

00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:36.625

00:17:29.338 --> 00:17:30.839
Something, then you're gonna
00:17:30.906 --> 00:17:31.773
Something, then you're gonna live as if that's true.
00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:35.043
Something, then you're gonna live as if that's true. and i, some--
00:17:35.110 --> 00:17:38.180
Live as if that's true. and i, some-- the older i get, which is pretty
00:17:38.247 --> 00:17:39.548
And i, some-- the older i get, which is pretty far up there now...
00:17:39.615 --> 00:17:40.516
The older i get, which is pretty far up there now... >> [audience laughing]
00:17:40.582 --> 00:17:43.385
>> joyce: the more i realize
00:17:45.053 --> 00:17:45.888

Do it. everything works out good. read it.
00:17:56.598 --> 00:17:57.432
Everything works out good. read it. don't do it,
00:17:57.499 --> 00:17:58.367
Read it. don't do it, and have a messed up,
00:17:58.433 --> 00:17:59.101
Don't do it, and have a messed up, miserable life.
00:17:59.168 --> 00:18:01.036
And have a messed up, miserable life. it's up to you.
00:18:01.103 --> 00:18:04.206
Peace, turmoil.
00:18:04.806 --> 00:18:06.675
Peace, turmoil. heaven, hell.
00:18:06.742 --> 00:18:07.576
Peace, turmoil. heaven, hell. good, bad.
00:18:07.643 --> 00:18:10.112
Heaven, hell. good, bad. "i set before you life
00:18:10.179 --> 00:18:11.013
Good, bad. "i set before you life and death.
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:11.613
"i set before you life and death. choose life that you and your
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.817
And death. choose life that you and your descendants may live."
00:18:15.884 --> 00:18:18.620
Choose life that you and your descendants may live." now, you know, we're not real
00:18:18.687 --> 00:18:19.588
Descendants may live." now, you know, we're not real big on responsibility, today.
00:18:19.655 --> 00:18:23.659
And so, even, this book that
00:18:23.725 --> 00:18:24.660
And so, even, this book that i've written on, "your battles
00:18:24.726 --> 00:18:26.762
And so, even, this book that i've written on, "your battles belong to the lord," i mean,
00:18:26.828 --> 00:18:28.797
I've written on, "your battles belong to the lord," i mean, i might as well just tell you
00:18:28.864 --> 00:18:29.865
Belong to the lord," i mean, i might as well just tell you ahead of time, 'cause you'll
00:18:29.932 --> 00:18:30.832
I might as well just tell you ahead of time, 'cause you'll figure out on page one that
00:18:30.899 --> 00:18:34.903
Ahead of time, 'cause you'll figure out on page one that i'm not saying that god will
00:18:34.970 --> 00:18:37.539
Figure out on page one that i'm not saying that god will do everything for you while
00:18:37.606 --> 00:18:39.441
I'm not saying that god will do everything for you while you sit and do absolutely
00:18:39.508 --> 00:18:40.876
Do everything for you while you sit and do absolutely nothing.
00:18:40.943 --> 00:18:42.711
You sit and do absolutely nothing. see, we're partners with god.
00:18:42.778 --> 00:18:44.746
And what god wants us to do,
00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:46.348
And what god wants us to do, he wants to fight
00:18:46.415 --> 00:18:47.249
And what god wants us to do, he wants to fight our battles for us,
00:18:47.316 --> 00:18:49.818
He wants to fight our battles for us, but he wants us to stop getting
00:18:49.885 --> 00:18:51.520
Our battles for us, but he wants us to stop getting our own plan and going
00:18:51.587 --> 00:18:53.188
But he wants us to stop getting our own plan and going out and trying to do our
00:18:53.255 --> 00:18:54.389
Our own plan and going out and trying to do our own thing, and get still long
00:18:54.456 --> 00:18:56.458
Out and trying to do our own thing, and get still long enough to hear what he wants
00:18:56.525 --> 00:18:58.093
Own thing, and get still long enough to hear what he wants to say that will actually,
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.162
Enough to hear what he wants to say that will actually, maybe, really work.
00:19:00.229 --> 00:19:01.330
To say that will actually, maybe, really work. in 2 chronicles,
00:19:01.396 --> 00:19:02.931
Maybe, really work. in 2 chronicles, when jehoshaphat had all these
00:19:02.998 --> 00:19:04.733
In 2 chronicles, when jehoshaphat had all these enemies coming against him
00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:06.835
When jehoshaphat had all these enemies coming against him and he did not know what to do,
00:19:06.902 --> 00:19:08.704
Enemies coming against him and he did not know what to do, and they went before god
00:19:08.770 --> 00:19:10.772
And he did not know what to do, and they went before god and they said, "god, we don't
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:11.940
And they went before god and they said, "god, we don't know what to do.
00:19:12.007 --> 00:19:14.142
And they said, "god, we don't know what to do. we don't have the wisdom
00:19:14.209 --> 00:19:15.110
Know what to do. we don't have the wisdom to know what to do.
00:19:15.177 --> 00:19:16.078
We don't have the wisdom to know what to do. we don't have the strength
00:19:16.144 --> 00:19:17.045
To know what to do. we don't have the strength to know what to do."
00:19:17.112 --> 00:19:18.780
We don't have the strength to know what to do." and god told them, "the battle
00:19:18.847 --> 00:19:21.550
To know what to do." and god told them, "the battle is not yours, but mine.
00:19:21.617 --> 00:19:24.753
And god told them, "the battle is not yours, but mine. i'll fight the battle,"
00:19:24.820 --> 00:19:26.655
Is not yours, but mine. i'll fight the battle," but he said, "now, you go.
00:19:26.722 --> 00:19:29.491
I'll fight the battle," but he said, "now, you go. take your place and wait
00:19:29.558 --> 00:19:33.829
But he said, "now, you go. take your place and wait for me."
00:19:33.895 --> 00:19:34.730
Take your place and wait for me." and you know what their
00:19:34.796 --> 00:19:35.464
For me." and you know what their place was?
00:19:35.530 --> 00:19:35.831
Jehoshaphat bowed on his knees
00:19:35.897 --> 00:19:37.299
Jehoshaphat bowed on his knees and worshiped, and he sent
00:19:37.366 --> 00:19:39.434
Jehoshaphat bowed on his knees and worshiped, and he sent out singers to sing,
00:19:39.501 --> 00:19:43.438
And worshiped, and he sent out singers to sing, "o give thanks unto the lord
00:19:43.505 --> 00:19:44.673
Out singers to sing, "o give thanks unto the lord for he is good, for his mercy
00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:46.375
"o give thanks unto the lord for he is good, for his mercy endures forever."
00:19:46.441 --> 00:19:47.342
For he is good, for his mercy endures forever." and you know what

Endures forever." and you know what the bible says?

And you know what the bible says? the enemy got so confused,
00:19:48.744 --> 00:19:50.012
The bible says? the enemy got so confused, they were self-slaughtered.
00:19:50.078 --> 00:19:53.949
The enemy got so confused, they were self-slaughtered. now, that's the way to fight.
00:19:54.016 --> 00:19:56.585
They were self-slaughtered. now, that's the way to fight. amen?

Now, that's the way to fight. amen? that's the way to fight.

Not, "well, i'm mad at you and i'm never letting you into my life again.

And i'm never letting you into my life again. and if you think i'm gonna put

My life again. and if you think i'm gonna put up with that, you've got another

Thing comin'." that's just doing what the devil wants us to do.

Wants us to do. that's not doing what god wants us to do.
