   hallelujah father we we pray that this morning lord that you'll help us lord in our private times lord to really quiet our hearts and get our focus on you that you promised to draw near to us lord he said if we will draw near to you in the book of james lord you said if we will draw near to you you will draw near to us your holy spirit's called the comforter so lord you're able to comfort us and you're able to strengthen us even in the times we live even in perilous times and difficult times and personal trials and worldwide trials whatever may be going on lord you are our shield you're our father you promised that to your children you would never leave us or forsake us even in the midst of trials and tests and so lord help us to quiet our hearts and quiet our minds and quiet the lying devils around us because lord we serve the most high the most high god the almighty all-powerful god the creator we will not fear what man may try to do we pray that this morning in jesus name hallelujah hallelujah uh hallelujah well this has been one of those mornings i've been seeking direction for quite a while even during praise and worship seeking direction kevin shared with me that he feels god stirring a word in him and so i even contemplated uh letting him preach this morning and that may be next week or the week after i don't know but as we were in praise and worship and as i was up praying this morning i just i don't know i just feel some things now we give warning it may contain some in time discussion all right but we won't be going into the part two of the nephilim thing just yet because i have much more research and study to do on that but uh can i just say something to you this is you know i know this freaks some people out but you know i have been you know back with the lord everybody knows this here you know since 1987 when i rededicated my life to jesus and things got interesting because when your first convert is in a satanic covenant uh you find out real quick kind of what's going on uh in your spiritual life and in the spirit realm and and all these things but can i say this even after 26 years plus of

   studying the bible casting out demons fighting people who were satanists and witches and people trying to infiltrate the church and impostors in the church and all kinds of things and being shot at and had contracts on my life and all these crazy stuff that i've been through seeing jesus save people seen people get saved seeing people get healed seeing people get delivered seeing people make it through trials i have to say that it still is amazing to me that if you keep seeking god and you keep studying the word and you keep you keep your eyes open and your heart hungry for truth that god will keep blowing your mind he really will i honestly can say that that the lord continues to blow my mind with the things that i'm seeing in the word and hearing uh other ministers talk about that have been saved a lot longer than i have yes and i still learn from other people as we all should be humble and open to learn from other people you know you hear something that just sounds wild sometimes and you just go have to go back to the word and research it and like the bereans and make sure those things are so right but if they're so then you better deal with them right but i want to just i want to look at a few verses here this morning because really this has to do a little bit with the issue of fear and because of some things that jesus said and we're all we all all christians all people deal with fear to some degree we all do and the devil and demon spirits are masters at placing fear in your mind in your heart now or taking what we naturally have as human beings and and our weakness and taking that and magnifying it usually making it much worse than it is sometimes you know i i love the old say i don't know if it's uh if people say this up north but down here in the south i've heard it all my life um don't bother trouble our our delaware brother there says no we don't say that um but what that simply means is the old saying is don't you know where jesus don't worry about tomorrow tomorrow take care of itself in a sense of don't don't worry in the sense of being fearful about tomorrow and i know that a lot of our fears a lot of times are really unfounded because we're we're actually fearing things that hadn't even happened yet may not even happen right and so you know we've talked about that before but i want you to because you have to get balance because

   jesus said now i think we're going to read it here but jesus said that things are going to get so fearful in the times that we live in that people's hearts will fail them right and yet he said in the same almost in the same breath do not fear okay then now we're going to do what jesus said right or we're going to fall into the fear that can harm us i mean paul nurse shree nurse my wife went to nursing school people know i mean now it's pretty obvious we know that what that your emotions can affect your physical body affect your physical health stress fear worry all those things can affect you but they affect you spiritually far worse but anyway having said that let's look at a few verses this morning if you don't mind go with me go first let's go to luke 21. because i promise you if i told you some of the stuff that's going on in the world right now that's freaking me out i assure you it would freak you out and i think this is apropos we're going to look here at uh luke 21 because everybody knows we have you know i believe one of the signs in the heavens that jesus told us about in the end i think we're having what they're calling nasa's calling the comet of the century has come into our solar system and is approaching the sun now and will uh make its final approach around the sun the 27th and the 28th which i believe everything is significant isn't it amazing that this is happening right at the same time that the world powers have gotten together and basically given iran a free pass to continue to enrich uranium the very event that's going to propel us into world war three and make no mistake about it you know i know we've talked about this a lot over the last year last two years i think god has been very merciful i think god has heard the prayers of his people throughout the world i think god intervened and delayed what was looked inevitable even last year at this time but we are now a year past that we are a year past diplomacy in the middle east we're a year further down the road of iran continuing to pursue a nuclear weapon and things are getting

   things are getting hot now and i don't think i've ever seen benjamin netanyahu the prime minister of israel more angry than he is right now after this basically world leaders just all got together and met and is just going to let iran keep going our world is so messed up you know it's so messed up it's so turned upside down and everybody's backwards i mean the most violent radical dangerous religion on the face of islam is called peace i mean are we not in a time where good is called evil and evil is called good i mean it's unbelievable to me i just look at these people and i go you're going to promote islam you're going to be okay with islam but you want to stamp out christianity i i isn't it it's upside down and backwards everything and that's why folks jesus has to come jesus is going to have to come to fix this because it's just spiraling out of control and into deeper and deeper darkness and let's just read this in luke 21 it's everybody ought to be familiar with this because this is the passage where jesus disciples ask him what will be the signs of his coming and to the end of the world and we're going to skip down to verse 20 and he said this he said when you shall see jerusalem compass with armies then know that the desolation thereof is nigh then let them which are in judea flee to the mountains and let them which are in the midst of it depart out and let them not that are in the countries enter there in two for these be the days of vengeance that all things that are written may be fulfilled and i know i've pointed this verse out before but this when you think about everything that's written in the prophets both old testament and new testament when you think about this word where he says when you see jerusalem surrounded by enemies by armies meaning israel would have to possess jerusalem again and then they would have to be surrounded on every side by enemy forces know that the desolation thereof is near and that every single thing written in god's holy book will be fulfilled in those days okay hard for us to get a hold of hard for us to fathom but it is happening at breakneck speed i can't even hardly keep up with how fast and how many things are happening at the same time but he said for these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled but well unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people and they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations and jerusalem shall be trodden down to the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled
