This Changes Everything [PART 12] | Mark Pugh | Sunday 28th June

[00:00:00] Well, good morning everybody. [00:00:03] Oh, that was a quiet one. Good morning. [00:00:07] That's slightly louder. [00:00:09] Well, it's a real joy to see you today and to be together. And I pray that in these next few moments that you'll be greatly encouraged and blessed and hopefully inspired for the week ahead. [00:00:22] God's good, isn't he? [00:00:24] Just think about it like we have an opportunity to be his kids. [00:00:30] That's amazing. [00:00:32] Have you ever thought you looked across the world and wondered, have you ever played that game? Thought if I could choose any parents in the world, who would I choose? [00:00:42] No? [00:00:43] Okay. [00:00:45] I don't know. What would you go for? Would you go for money, sporting prowess? [00:00:51] What would you look for? [00:00:53] Well, no matter what answer you give, it's going to be completely inferior to knowing that we're the kids of God. Eh? The children of God. What a privileged and amazing opportunity it is to be his sons and daughters. And today I'm going to speak a continuation of our series from the Gospel of John John chapter four. And as we look at this together, I believe the Lord's going to just stir us. [00:01:19] In a couple of weeks time I'm going to be starting a new three week series that is a bit of a reflection on some areas that we really believe that the Lord has gifted us as a church some things to steward. And we had an elders day yesterday where we were praying and chatting and we feel that in some way we need to be reminded really clearly of the things that the Lord has entrusted to us as a church community. So we'll be picking those up in a few weeks time. [00:01:45] This week I'm off to Sweden. I'm going to a conference in Sweden. I've been told to pack my long johns. I've not got any, but it's going to be quite cold when I'm preaching up near Lapland. So going to be quite a contrast. [00:01:59] It's going to be from one extreme to the other. But look after the nice weather for me until I'm back, will you? And I'll be back next weekend. Let's look at John's gospel chapter 4 together, verses 34 to 38. [00:02:12] Then Jesus explained, my nourishment comes from doing the will of God who sent me and from finishing his work. [00:02:22] You know the saying, four months between planting and harvest. But I say wake up and look around. [00:02:30] The fields are already ripe for harvest, the harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. [00:02:41] What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike. You Know the saying, one plants and another harvests. And it's true. I send you to harvest what you didn't plant. Others had already done the work. And now you will get to gather the harvest. Let's pray together. Father, we thank you for your word. And I pray there will be like explosions of revelation that we glean from your word now that will just help us and speak to us and minister to us where we are at and to fulfill everything that you're asking of us individually and corporately. I pray in Jesus name. [00:03:21] Amen. [00:03:22] Let me ask you a question. [00:03:24] When was the last time you misread a moment? [00:03:30] I mean, maybe you had a conversation and you thought that went well, and you find out a couple of weeks later that the other person thought it was a disaster. [00:03:42] You've misread it, You've misread the signs. When was the last time you completely missed something taking place around you? [00:03:52] Maybe there was an incident. Someone said, you were in Exeter yesterday, weren't you? And you say, yeah, I was. And they said, did you hear what happened? And you said, no idea. But you were there. How did you miss it? [00:04:04] I'm sure we've all got some stories in our life of times we've missed things. Something has happened and it's gone completely over our heads. [00:04:13] When we miss an opportunity that is before us, it is usually because of one of the following reasons. [00:04:22] And so as we begin to lead into this scripture I just read, we're going to see that this was an opportune moment, that Jesus saw something and that the others didn't. Why didn't they see it? And why do you and I not see things that are around us or that we are in the middle of at times? Let's look at the reasons why this happens. First of all, we may be trapped by preconceived expectations. [00:04:49] Church history is littered with God doing things differently to how he's done in the past. [00:04:55] And what happens when somebody experience what he did in the past, when he starts doing something in the present that looks different? They say that's not God because he doesn't look like what we experienced. They've got an expectation as to what God should do and how God should do it. Now we know that God is unchanging. God is the same yesterday, today and forever, says of Jesus in Hebrews. But in the same way that he is continuous, he is continuously faithful, he's continuously compassionate, he's continually loving, he's continuous, he's continually all powerful. He does also create things he does things new. We read in the Scripture, see, I am doing a new thing. Do you not perceive it? God is always at work doing new things. [00:05:43] And if we are looking for the old thing that he was doing, we can miss the new thing that he's doing. [00:05:50] So it's important that we have an openness to that. We don't just have preconceived ideas. Secondly, one of the reasons why we miss the moment we misread a situation or we miss an opportunity is that we may be distracted by immediate concerns. [00:06:08] Urgent matters often blind us to the more important matters. Some things may be screaming at you, come on, I need you to get me sorted. I need you to attend to me. I need you to give me your attention. [00:06:21] And there are lots of things in our life that feel urgent, but often they may not be the most important thing. And our urgent matters can often blind us to the most important. [00:06:33] Thirdly, that one of the reasons why we can miss an opportunity is that we are comfortable. [00:06:40] Opportunity often presents itself in the format of change or risk or sacrifice, and we can get comfortable where we're at. So in a sense, it's too inconvenient for us to see an opportunity. We just rather drift with what we know because it's more comfortable. Fourthly, we often underestimate small beginnings. [00:07:07] So I found over the years that when I pray for a breakthrough, that I'm expecting some major, major event to happen. You know, like you're expecting lightning to come from the sky, rainbows, rabbits knocking on your door and announcing the word of the Lord. You're expecting something that is completely outside of your frame of reference, and that will be a miracle. But what I've discovered is this, that often the miracles that God brings look different to the ones that I was expecting, because often I'm expecting a big thing. [00:07:41] I'm saying, God, would you give me a tree? [00:07:45] I'm expecting a big tree with its branches stretched out and its leaves fully formed. And God knocks on the door and he says, here you are. Here's your answer. You say, what? [00:07:57] I asked for a tree. What's this? It's a seed. [00:08:02] What does this do? [00:08:04] Or in there, there's not just a tree, there's an orchard. [00:08:09] And I've seen so many times, people, they pray about something, and God turns up with something that seems much smaller. But God is inviting them to be a part of the miracle. So he's saying, this seed, if you plant it, if you water it, if you look after it, if you cultivate it, it will grow into the fullness. And that seed is often living the promise. [00:08:35] It's often living the truth. It's often applying the word of God into our lives. And so often we miss the opportunity because it looks smaller than we anticipated, but it's a miracle in a small package. Also, one of the reasons we miss opportunities is that we fear things. [00:08:53] Fear is like a magnifying glass on our circumstance. I'm sure you've experienced that fear can make the problem seem much more enlarged than they actually are. And I think often we need to compare fear to the alternative, which is love. [00:09:13] Perfect love casts out fear. [00:09:15] Mike was showing me yesterday a picture of his dog. [00:09:20] And if you've seen his dog, if you imagine the grand national and horses, it's like that size. [00:09:27] That's what it felt like. It's a big dog. I think you could put a saddle on it and ride this dog. But. But when Mike took this dog on as a puppy, I don't know if he was aware how big he was going to grow, but it was a cute little puppy, just a cute little fluffy puppy. And now, wow, you're massive. [00:09:48] But when he showed me the picture, I couldn't tell the size of the dog because the only thing in the picture was the dog. [00:09:55] What did I need in order to get an idea of the size? I needed something that I knew the size of also in the picture that I could compare it next to and go, wow, that dog is big. [00:10:08] And often, you know, when we see fear, we look at fear and we think, wow, that is big. That is like, you know, fear comes out of the gym, it's all pumped up, its muscles are rippling, and it's standing in front of you going, I am strong in your life. You're not going to escape from me. And we look and we think. [00:10:28] To be honest, it does look pretty ripped. It does look pretty much like it's sorted. But I can't. I can't just look at fear. I have to put fear next to God. [00:10:39] And when you put fear next to God, you think that fear that look big. You suddenly look up and you think, wow, God, no wonder you can cast out fear, because look at the size of him. Look at the power of him. [00:10:54] Look at the capacity of him. Look at. He knows everything. He understands everything. He has all the power in the universe. Why was I intimidated by that little fear? [00:11:05] And so we have to do the comparisons. If you're gonna have a lie in your life, put the truth next to it, do comparisons and allow The Lord to teach you that his truth and his power is far greater than the things of this world. And so I see fear as an obstacle to people, that they don't step into the moment and the opportunity because fear has intimidated them. But put fear next to God and let God intimidate your fear. [00:11:31] 6. [00:11:33] I've seen this so often, we become prisoners of the past. [00:11:36] You know, everyone in this room will have some disappointments. [00:11:39] There'll be some things you've done that have been mistakes, things you've said that you regretted, that you wished you hadn't. You can't live there. [00:11:47] We don't have a time machine. We can't go back to those moments and live in those moments. We have to trust that God is able, by his grace, to work those things out and to give us a fresh start for today. The scripture says his mercies are new every morning. Great is his faithfulness. I'm so glad it doesn't say his mercies are new every now and again. It's like the regular rhythm of our day. His mercies are new every morning. And great is his faithfulness. And so we can be free from the disappointments and the failures of the past. [00:12:17] And then this is the point that leads into the text. Today, we're spiritually asleep. [00:12:24] See, spiritual dullness doesn't mean to say we've stopped believing. [00:12:28] It means we've stopped expecting God to move. [00:12:33] And in this scene in John 4, Jesus was seeing a moment and an opportunity that the others around him weren't seeing. [00:12:43] And the reason for that was that they were spiritually asleep. [00:12:49] So let's look together at this text that we read from John 4, and let's explore together what God is inviting us to step into. [00:13:00] Firstly, there is deeper nourishment than you ever thought possible. [00:13:08] In the words of Jesus, he said, my food is to do the will of my Father. [00:13:17] You remember, the disciples had gone to get some lunch, and they were bemused that Jesus didn't seem to be interested in lunch. [00:13:26] And he said, but I've got another source. [00:13:28] I have another point of reference in my life that nourishes me. [00:13:35] Now, I understand that the supplement industry in the world is worth £228 billion. Supplements. Some of you may be taking them. They might be. Supplement vitamins, they might be. I was with a gp, one of our elders, a gp, and she was talking about the value of magnesium yesterday. [00:13:53] And maybe it's creatine, maybe it's cod liver oil, maybe whatever it is. But supplements, they're big in today's world, it's a big industry. [00:14:03] And I think what we've recognized from science is that often our modern way of life means that we live in a different way to maybe how we were designed to live. So, you know, for example, go back years ago, men would have been hunter gatherers and you would have been out in the outdoor nature on a regular basis, lots of physical exercise. [00:14:23] Now I sit in a car and do 35,000 miles a year and I'm not out catching cow or whatever. [00:14:32] So physically I'm eating plenty of it in restaurants, but I'm not catching it. And so there are things that our bodies lack that we're intended to have. So we take supplements in order to help compensate those things that our bodies are not taking in that they need in order to function at their prime spot. And I don't know if you take supplements, I don't know what you take. And there's all sorts of ways to try to help people to take it in a regular rhythm. [00:14:59] I've seen that you can get little gummies now, little sweets that have got all sorts of supplements. I don't know if they're any good, so don't go and buy them on them. I'm not recommending them, I'm just referencing that they exist. Other people take milkshakes and they put lots of things in the milkshake to try to find a way of making it digestible. And they sit there drinking their milkshake saying it tastes beautiful. I'm not entirely convinced that they mean that, but they convince themselves there's all sorts of ways that people are finding ways of taking these vitamins or these supplements into their body. But Jesus has announced the supplement here. [00:15:36] He says, I have a source of nourishment that is better than any of those supplements you can get. [00:15:47] He said this, my food is to do the will of the One who sent me. [00:15:58] And that that is the most nourishing thing you can know in your life to fulfill the will of God. [00:16:06] So you can be pumped at the gym, you can live a model physical life, you can take all the supplements in the world. But if you are not living in the will of Christ Jesus, you are missing out on the best route of well being in your life. [00:16:23] Jesus announces this as the most effective nourishment. It's obedience. [00:16:29] No matter how attractive these other supplements are, they still involve a level of inconvenience and discipline. And of course, obedience requires discipline. [00:16:40] Jesus deeper satisfaction come from comfort. [00:16:45] It came from obedience. [00:16:49] True Spiritual vitality within your life and within my life comes from participating obediently in God's work. [00:17:01] So there's a deeper nourishment. [00:17:04] Secondly, there is a call in these verses to wake up spiritually. [00:17:11] Jesus said to his followers, wake up and look around. [00:17:16] Basically he was saying, there are things that you will only see if you are awake. [00:17:23] Now. They weren't sleepwalking, they were physically awake. [00:17:27] They had just been to the shop or whatever they got their food from, but so they weren't. They just walked through a desert. They weren't asleep physically, but Jesus said that they were asleep. They needed to wake up to see what he could see. [00:17:45] Jesus announces that those who are awake can see things that others can't. [00:17:51] We're called to be a church that is awake to see what God sees, to understand his ways, to understand his nature, to understand his promises, that there is an awakeness within our spirit that allows our eyes to align with what he sees. [00:18:13] That's what this church needs. This church, this city doesn't need a prophetic church that is just going to speak nice words over each other about our future. [00:18:23] And then there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's accountable and as long as it has the guardrails of healthy prophetic culture. But that's not what primarily a prophetic church is for. A prophetic church is to speak into the life of the city and to reveal the heart of God. [00:18:42] And we can only do that if we're awake. We can't do that just by turning up a church every week, for example. [00:18:50] And what I find is that when you're awake, that what I'm going to call a one day posture. [00:19:00] Like, you know what I mean? Like, one day I'll do that. [00:19:04] One day I'll get around to that. [00:19:06] One day I'm going to step out for God. [00:19:09] One day I'm going to believe that promise. One day I'm going to trust his words. One day I'm going to forgive that person. [00:19:16] One day I will step into his promises. [00:19:19] When we live our lives in a one day framework, one day we'll get around to that effectively. It's a sign of spiritual slumber in our life because when you're awake, you begin to see that the opportunities are a lot closer than you thought they were. [00:19:35] They're not in tomorrow, they're in today. [00:19:38] Those who are awake can see something that those who are asleep can't. [00:19:43] You see what the enemy wants to do is to keep us asleep or distracted. [00:19:48] He wants Us to. To be unable to hear and see the moment, because there are things that are capturing our attention. [00:19:58] Just a few weeks ago, on one of our travels, Nita and I were stopping in a hotel, and we had a couple of hours before our first meeting. And so Nita took out her phone, and she began to pick up one of her hobbies. [00:20:17] Nita loves nature. She loves all animals and birds. And she recently had downloaded an app to her phone that she could open the app and listen to the sound of birds. And the app tells her what sort of birds are making that sound. So we were indoors, in the hotel window open, and she could hear birds outside. [00:20:41] So she takes out her phone and she's listening to the birds to find out what birds are outside. [00:20:49] Now, as she's doing that, I spotted a moment of potential mischief because I took up my phone without her seeing. [00:21:00] And I went onto YouTube and I typed in sounds of unusual birds. [00:21:07] And so I opened these sounds, and I press play. And I turn up my speaker on my phone, and it begins to play the sound of these unusual birds. Ania's on her phone going, wow, Wow. I can't believe these birds are all around. [00:21:27] I was tempted to put in dodo, you know, just to see what would happen. But she goes, wow, why don't. She reached across, she said, look at the birds are outside. [00:21:38] And then I said, wow, look at the birds on my phone. [00:21:42] And she goes, you rat. [00:21:49] You see, sometimes there is. [00:21:53] There's a sound of the kingdom of God that he's inviting us to listen to. But there are other sounds distracting us. There are other sounds that want to take us off course. [00:22:05] The enemy of our soul wants to give us a sound that will distract us from the purposes of God. [00:22:12] And the disciples, they were distracted. [00:22:14] They were focused on lunch when Jesus was focused on the salvation of a city. [00:22:21] Ask you a question. Are you asleep? Are you distracted? [00:22:25] Or are you spiritually awake and alert? [00:22:28] Because the answer to that question will determine what you're seeing and what you're hearing and how you can take the most of the moment that you're in. [00:22:37] And then thirdly, learn to see as Jesus sees. [00:22:42] See, Jesus saw potential where there were problems, he saw redemption where there was failure, he saw harvest, where there were just barriers that other people saw. He, his passion and purpose meant that he saw things in others that those who were asleep didn't. [00:23:02] The transformation that Jesus seeks is not first in what we do, but is in how we see people, how we see one another. [00:23:12] That is a sign of Someone who is spiritually alert and awake. [00:23:18] How you see yourself and how you see others. [00:23:24] You know, I love my kids. I love my grandkid. And I want them to know how loved they are. [00:23:33] I want them to know how proud I am of them, how much I think of them. [00:23:40] And, you know, if they ever turned to me and said, oh, dad, you don't really love us, do you? Because we're not lovable, I'd be like, oh, no, no. I want you to know that you're really, really loved. [00:23:54] And, yeah, I see in church all the time, I see people that they can't worship because they feel unlovely. [00:24:02] They can't engage in the possibilities of God because they don't think they're really loved. [00:24:08] They feel that they're misfits. They feel like God does not believe. Believe in them. [00:24:14] And I want you to know that is a lie. That is the enemy. Holding his phone up and playing sounds that are not the real thing, because the real sound says that you are loved beyond measure. You're adopted into his family. You are cared for. He is committed to be with you always. He's committed to being faithful in your life. [00:24:34] As that famous Saiyan says, there's nothing you can do that will make him love you more, and there's nothing you can do that will make him love you less. [00:24:43] You are loved by God. [00:24:45] Get over it, accept it, receive it, and live its revelation in your life. [00:24:52] And I find that when we are spiritually awake, we begin to come alive with the understanding of who we are in Christ. [00:25:01] But also, being awake spiritually means that it impacts how we see each other. [00:25:08] You know, if someone is angry at the world and they are cynical with people and they are negative to others, and they just use people to muscle their way to the top, that's not the sign of spiritual awakeness. [00:25:23] Those who are spiritually awake see other people as Christ sees them. [00:25:28] And when Christ sees them, he says, they are loved beyond measure. [00:25:32] I am faithful to them. I care for them. [00:25:35] And that gives us the requirement to see them with the eyes of Jesus. [00:25:41] Mark, does that mean everybody? [00:25:44] Well, I don't see any exclusion clauses in Scripture. [00:25:50] I believe he loves everyone the same. [00:25:54] See the disciples, they were accompanying Jesus the most traumatic time on this earth on the lead up to his crucifixion. And they were in the garden of Gethsemane. We read in Matthew 26, and Jesus said these words to them, stay awake. [00:26:14] Stay awake. [00:26:18] And as he was sweating drops of blood because of the agony and the Terror of what he was facing. [00:26:26] We read the disciples slept as history was unfolding. They slept. [00:26:38] I pray they rediscover as history is unfolding. Won't sleep because there's something happening in our day today. [00:26:48] See, they were saying that this is going to happen in the future. [00:26:53] There's a harvest ahead. [00:26:54] There's a harvest tomorrow to come. There's something ahead that we're going to look forward to. [00:27:00] Those of you who like me have grown up in church have understood that there's revival around the corner, that there's something God's going to do in the future. We hear terms like the greatest harvest the world has ever seen, the billion soul harvest. We hear these terms and we think one day, one day, one day. [00:27:19] And Jesus says to his disciples here, stop saying one day. [00:27:24] It's this day, I tell you. Look at the fields, they're white. There's something stirring in the nation church. I was just reading on social media the other day, there was somebody's testimony captured. And this lady, she was one of the most famous online tarot card readers in the world. [00:27:44] She had a massive following of people and she as she in this post, I'd never heard of her before. [00:27:52] Tarot card reading is occultic. It's witchcraft. It's not something that we should be touching. In fact, a lot of these occultic things, they are the enemy. Holding his phone up and playing sounds that are meant to distract us. [00:28:08] They are things that are trying to take people away from the purposes of God. So spiritism, for example, you know, that's not talking to your dead relatives. That's demonic impersonation. [00:28:20] And it takes people into a realm of dangerous things spiritually, that it captivates them in areas in their life that creates bondage. Jesus wants us to be free, not bound. And this lady, she's saying in this story on her post, she said, this will be my last social media post because I've recently given my life to Jesus and I know that I cannot continue to do what I've been doing while knowing that Jesus has saved my soul. [00:28:53] There are story after story happening in our society where we are seeing that these are the days of harvest. [00:29:03] You know that I'm Welsh, not English, so I do try my best to support the English football team and, and I will be cheering them on. But I did have a conflict the other night because Ghana, I've got lots of Ghanaian friends and when Ghana and England played, you know, I don't. I'm not from either nation. I know I live in England. I've visited Ghana numerous times. Lots of Ghana and friends who do you cheer. But I tell you, it was a drab game, wasn't it? But I tell you, at the end of the game, watching the Ghanaian team stand in a circle and pray, I thought, I'm glad they got something out of this. [00:29:45] Because there's just something beautiful about watching people on a journey with God. [00:29:50] And there are people all over the world that are on a journey with God. There's something happening in this world. The harvest is not one day. The harvest is this day. [00:30:01] And Jesus said, the fields are white, but the laborers are few. [00:30:06] The harvest is not coming tomorrow. The harvest is here. [00:30:10] And the question is not, is God moving? [00:30:13] The question is, will we wake up to the moment? [00:30:17] Will we lift up our eyes and join him? [00:30:20] Before this moment passes, can I invite us all to stand? [00:30:25] Let's just stand, if you're able to, across this room. [00:30:31] And I obviously don't know the journeys of everyone here today. [00:30:35] I don't know where you're at. I don't know what's going on in your life. But I do know this absolutely guarantee. I know you're loved. [00:30:41] I know God has a plan and a purpose for your life. [00:30:44] And I know you're in a moment, and the question is, can you see that moment? [00:30:50] And I wonder if you could just put your hand on your heart and say, lord, I pray that you wake up my soul. [00:30:56] Pray you would wake me up to see everything of the day that I'm in, right from the youngest to the oldest in this place. I pray that we would be awake and alert. [00:31:07] I pray that we would not restrict the future possibilities by our past experiences. I pray that fear will have no part of our life. [00:31:15] I pray that we will not be distracted. I pray that we will not choose comfort over obedience. [00:31:21] But I pray in these hearts that we hold in across this room that we will have the greatest supplement in our life, a supplement of knowing that the greatest nourishment is fulfilling the will of the one who's called us. [00:31:35] So I pray for obedience. [00:31:39] Pray you give us courage to live lives of obedience. [00:31:46] Come, Holy Spirit, fill these lives with your presence. [00:31:51] Now, I touched on some fears, some bondage. [00:31:54] Even when I touched on the occult, some in the room were like, oh, I've dabbled with some stuff that's okay. Don't worry about that. The enemy will want you to be convinced that defines your future. But the gospel says that Jesus came to set the captives free. [00:32:13] And so as you're praying now, if you have dabbled in horoscopes, the occult, tarot readings, spiritism, Ouija boards, I'm just going to invite you now, as we're all closing our eyes, just to. [00:32:31] With your hand on your heart still to say, jesus, I'm sorry that I messed around with those things. [00:32:40] Please forgive me. [00:32:44] Just let that expression come from your life. And if you have the paraphernalia of those things in your home, make a decision that when you get home, you're going to destroy them. [00:32:59] Because repentance is not just sorry, it's turning around. [00:33:05] And now you have repented. [00:33:12] Holy Spirit, I pray that you will come place your hand on the head of each of these people and set them free in Jesus name. [00:33:28] Be free from every occultic spirit that wants to hold you in bondage. [00:33:38] Be free in Jesus name. [00:33:43] Some of you are sensing just a lightness. [00:33:47] There's a warmth that you're sensing. That's the Holy Spirit at work. He brings freedom. He's not here to condemn you. He's not working, wagging his finger, telling you off about your failure. He's here to lift you up to a new plane, to a new perspective, a new understanding. [00:34:04] So I pray that every thing of the enemy will be broken over your life in the name of Jesus, and that you will walk in freedom. [00:34:15] And now just one final thing before we conclude. Fear has flexed his muscles in lives here and it has created an impression that it's intimidating to you. [00:34:33] And Jesus comes and stands alongside fear and his perfect love. [00:34:43] The sheer strength and might and resourcefulness and capacity of his love breaks fear, casts it out. [00:34:58] Father, I pray that every fear will be bound and that there would be freedom in the name of Jesus. [00:35:17] Now, I'm going to invite those who pray that prayer not to come to the front. I'm not going to ask anything public, but I'm going to invite those who prayed. That prayer you're probably looking for, like we described earlier on, some flashes of lightning in the sky, some expression that God has come and brought you a big miracle. But instead he's going to bring you a seed. [00:35:40] It's a seed of living and applying the word of God. [00:35:47] And I would like you to take that seed. [00:35:51] And that seed today might be just that reference of understanding of the scripture that says, perfect love casts out fear. [00:36:01] Just keep taking that medication. [00:36:03] Perfect love. Cast out fear and say, thank you for your perfect love of my life, Lord. [00:36:10] And you think that's not very big, that's not very explosive. It's a seed look after the seed. [00:36:15] Look after the seed. The miracle is in there. [00:36:18] Perfect love casts out fear. [00:36:22] Another seed is. If anyone is in Christ, they're a new creation. The old is gone, the new has come. [00:36:29] Keep taking the seed. [00:36:31] Look after it. [00:36:35] God's not given us a spirit of fear, but love, power and a sound mind. [00:36:40] It's another scripture seed. [00:36:45] Father, I pray that we will look after the seeds that you've entrusted to us and that we will walk in the fullness of freedom.
