0:01

we gotta believe the word of God Amen

0:04

and this is a benefit praise the Lord

0:07

who crowns you with loving kindness with

0:09

favor and compassion

0:12

who crowns your loving kindness and the

0:14

King James says Tender Mercies or

0:16

compassion the word there is actually

0:18

the The Compassion of a mother for a

0:21

child amen but in Hebrew is actually the

0:26

word used for also the woman's womb the

0:29

word for womb where she nourishes her

0:31

her baby and that's the the the picture

0:34

used there for this word for Tender

0:36

Mercies God surrounds you with favor and

0:39

you are surrounded like in a cocoon in a

0:42

in a pavilion of his Tender Mercies of

0:45

his compassion you sense the love of God

0:48

you see that's why you don't have to go

0:50

looking for love in all the wrong places

0:52

because when God crowns you my friend

0:54

you sense that you are the Beloved amen

0:57

every day is an adventure of the Beloved

1:00

going somewhere to happen amen you are

1:02

not trying to love you are the Beloved

1:04

and the more you realize you are the

1:06

Beloved you will end up loving loving

1:08

those around you amen you're gonna

1:10

fought to even Overlook an evil done to

1:14

you praise the Lord because why you are

1:16

God's beloved

1:17

amen you are God's beloved

1:20

you know that the eagle

1:23

the eagle actually have enemies the

1:26

eagle in the sky we think that eagle you

1:28

know in the sky is the the king of the

1:30

air but actually the eagle have enemies

1:33

and the Eagle's enemies are actually

1:35

cross and what the crows do is that the

1:39

crows will come behind the eagle sort of

1:41

like come and just uh be irritating you

1:44

know just like like packed on the Eagles

1:46

uh Wing or on his leg and from behind

1:50

and then because there are more uh they

1:54

are more maneuverable they are small

1:55

when the eagle turns they have moved

1:57

away and uh they fly away from the eagle

2:01

and they're always the Eagle's enemies

2:03

are always the crows coming behind them

2:05

hoping that they'll drop the food that

2:07

they have in their talents and they're

2:09

hoping that the eagle Will Will just uh

2:11

you know submit and just let go of

2:13

everything so that they can have the

2:14

food but they're always irritating the

2:16

ego but you know what the eagle does the

2:19

eagle does not fight back

2:22

the eagle just flies higher

2:25

amen

2:26

the eagle flies higher friend when

2:29

people irritate you there are people who

2:31

are just you know they just hate you

2:33

they don't like you right go higher the

2:36

benefit is that God has crowned you with

2:38

loving kindness with favor and

2:40

compassion so when people come against

2:43

you remember just go higher they cannot

2:46

follow you because only Eagles can fly

2:48

that high and God's people are eagles

2:51

only they are the ones crowned with

2:55

compassion with loving kindness with

2:59

favor amen and you just go higher when

3:01

people criticize you just go higher amen

3:04

when people say things about you just go

3:06

higher hallelujah amen don't retell it

3:09

don't come down at that level amen don't

3:12

give them the the favor that God has

3:14

given you by acknowledging them because

3:17

they want borrowed favor from you so

3:19

don't hit that just fly higher amen

3:22

enjoy the fresh air where the crows

3:24

cannot come amen God has crowned you my

3:27

friend with favor has said and

3:30

compassion amen and the final blessing

3:33

the final benefit forget not all so

3:36

let's not forget the final one and even

3:39

the final one sometimes I remember

3:40

preaching in one place about this

3:42

benefit and some Believers were not

3:44

happy that I was preaching on this

3:46

benefit they say that well you know we

3:48

agree if everything that you say for the

3:50

most part but this part here we don't

3:52

agree it's not a matter of agreeing with

3:54

me it's a matter of whether you agree

3:56

with the scriptures the Bible says

3:57

forget not all his benefits and the

4:01

fifth benefit is this who satisfies your

4:03

mouth with good things so that your

4:07

youth

4:08

is renewed

4:09

like the eagles

4:11

wow amen do you know my friend the Bible

4:14

says that God wants to renew your youth

4:16

it's a benefit that he gives to his

4:18

people who satisfies your mouth with

4:20

good things so that your youth is

4:23

renewed like the eagles

4:26

amen why do I renewed like the eagles

4:29

because the ego is a bird that when it

4:32

grows all

4:34

it melts right it goes to a molting

4:37

stage where it sheds its feathers amen

4:40

and he looks like a sorry sight touch on

4:43

the high Cliffs and he looks very sorry

4:45

amen you know he's he's uh he looks old

4:48

and it doesn't look like Eagle anymore

4:50

he lost all his feathers but there's a

4:53

purpose for him waiting on that on that

4:55

cliff on that latch is waiting before

4:58

the sun and uh after a few days of just

5:01

waiting all right enjoying the breeze

5:04

and enjoying the sun rays and the

5:07

picture there is God's race on you amen

5:10

enjoying his blessings something happens

5:12

to the eagle new sprightly feathers

5:15

youthful feathers come out amen and then

5:19

he flies from that Cliff amen and he

5:23

goes high this time he has a young body

5:26

but an experienced mind and that's what

5:29

God wants for you even in your Advanced

5:32

years God says God can renew your youth

5:37

like the eagles I did a study of this

5:40

word youth you know I just want to know

5:41

what is God's perspective of Youth for

5:43

us amen that he wants to renew and I

5:46

read that different uh words for youth

5:49

in the Hebrew different stages of

5:51

youthfulness like we say a child then we

5:54

have the teen the teen years amen and

5:57

then we have the young man in the 20s in

6:00

their 30s well the word for that's used

6:03

then the Hebrew is actually the 10 years

6:05

youth

6:07

the teenage years so God wants to

6:10

satisfy

6:11

God wants to satisfy your mouth so that

6:13

your teenage youth amen

6:17

Hallelujah will be restored will be

6:21

renewed like the eagles which is a

6:24

literal renewal for yet not even this

6:27

benefit my friend receive it amen we

6:30

have examples in the Bible uh for

6:32

example Abraham's wife Sarah

6:34

she was old and uh and she could not bad

6:38

children in fact when she was young she

6:40

was Barren she could not bear children

6:41

but now that she is all at the age of 90

6:45

but the Lord came to visit them in their

6:47

tent one day with two angels and the

6:50

Lord says this time next year

6:52

you were half a baby now at first she

6:54

was laughing and she says uh you know

6:56

how shall I have pleasure my Lord being

6:59

all also we are both old and she laughed

7:01

in fact because they laughed God says

7:04

call the boy laughter his name is Isaac

7:06

Isaac means laughter in Hebrew and uh

7:09

the Lord came to visit them and in a

7:11

very at home kind of atmosphere praise

7:14

the Lord amen he wants to do that with

7:16

you you know God God wants to enter into

7:19

a a communion a friendship with you in

7:22

fact he started telling his secrets to

7:24

Abraham

7:26

in that particular time about what he

7:29

wants to do all right when he goes down

7:31

to Sodom and Gomorrah and uh he wants to

7:34

see whether you know he thought his

7:36

secrets to Abraham

7:38

but the promise of his son was given to

7:41

them so what he got to do as a benefit

7:43

for them they were all Abraham was about

7:45

nearly 100 years old at that time and uh

7:48

his wife was about about 90 years old

7:52

God renewed both their youth to the

7:56

point that they were able to sire a

7:58

child they were able to have a child

7:59

praise the Lord and my friend

8:02

that child was named Isaiah amen because

8:06

of the laughter but this time is the

8:07

laughter of faith is the laughter of Joy

8:10

the Bible says Sarah true Faith Sarah

8:13

received strength

8:15

from God to conceive seed now I believe

8:19

that's the secret of renewal right there

8:21

true Faith you got to believe when When

8:23

God says he wants to renew your youth

8:25

like the eagles you say Amen you say

8:27

Amen you believe God you receive it you

8:31

don't doubt you don't question or how is

8:33

it possible when you come to certainly

8:34

age certain things don't function

8:35

anymore you know and and science have

8:37

told us this and signs have proven that

8:39

my friend God is not limited by science

8:42

God created science but God transcends

8:46

science and miracles means it transcends

8:49

time and space it transcends signs

8:52

praise the lord we walk by faith and not

8:55

by sight When God Says something we

8:57

believe it amen so friend bless the Lord

9:00

and forget not all his benefits all

9:03

these benefits will wrap up in that baby

9:05

there was a born place on the manger a

9:09

picture of he was born to die not only

9:11

Born to Die placed in a feeding trial

9:14

as food for us amen we feed he calls

9:17

himself the bread of life what do you do

9:19

with bread you feed you know many people

9:22

look at Jesus as an example now that's

9:24

fine and good but that's not the primary

9:26

reason God sent him God sent him for us

9:29

to feed on him if I can say it like this

9:31

to to used him amen use him as my my

9:37

nourishment use him as my faith use him

9:41

as my righteousness praise the Lord and

9:43

he loves to be used in fact those who

9:46

used him when he was walking on Earth

9:48

here uh one time he was tired sitting at

9:50

the well and he ministered to the woman

9:52

the woman actually in a way Drew from

9:54

him the woman just drew from he was

9:56

tired but she Drew more from him and

9:59

when his disciples came later on the

10:00

woman went to the back to her Village

10:02

the disciples came the disciples saw

10:04

that he was reinvigorated

10:07

it was he was different from when they

10:09

left him

10:10

are tired at the well he was now

10:12

reinvigorated the more you use the Lord

10:15

the more you draw from him the more you

10:17

draw from God God loves it David says

10:20

what will I render to the Lord for all

10:22

10:58

praise the Lord

11:00

thank you Jesus wondering what it means

11:03

to live by faith we'd love to bless you

11:05

with a copy of Joseph's book Unstoppable

11:08

Faith find out how faith comes when you

11:10

know how Loved You Are by our lord Jesus

11:13

and how you can freely receive from him

11:15

request yours today offer available to

11:18

US and Canada residents only

11:21

let's close by reading about what else

11:25

happened that night

11:26

Luke 2. we're at that she wrapped him in

11:29

swaddling clubs and laid him in a Manger

11:32

because there was no room for them in

11:35

the Inn now the way it is structured

11:38

actually it could have said because

11:40

there was no room in the Inn but notice

11:44

what it says there was no room for them

11:46

in the Inn

11:48

in the ESV brings that out because there

11:51

was no place for them in the Inn

11:55

you see no room for them it is not that

11:58

there was no room in the Inn there was

12:01

no room for them

12:03

in the Inn

12:04

you know probably if if you are rich and

12:07

you have some connections there'll be

12:10

room for you

12:11

but there's no room for them

12:13

see the Son of God came born in a poor

12:17

family now you can argue all you want

12:19

about you know uh he was born in a rich

12:22

family he wasn't

12:23

the curse that came on yakim the Royal

12:26

Line caused the rest to become poor and

12:29

Jesus was born in a poor family

12:33

now of course when the wise men came

12:35

they brought gold frankincense and myrrh

12:37

to give to the Lord Jesus but that was

12:40

when uh I believe that that that uh

12:43

Treasures that wealth sponsored him uh

12:47

to Egypt when they fled from King Herod

12:49

right but not until then he were born in

12:53

a poor family

12:54

but he was rich he was flung The the

12:57

stars in the heavens amen he who who

13:00

created even the diamonds and the gold

13:03

and the silver and all the wealth in

13:05

this world there's abundance he became

13:07

poor and the Bible says at the cross

13:09

Jesus became poor that way through his

13:13

poverty might be rich now of course like

13:16

I said you know when when the girl and

13:18

and frankincense and myrrh which are

13:20

very very expensive items in those days

13:22

were given by the the Meg guys the the

13:25

wise men to Jesus right they were

13:28

somewhat prosperous from then on okay

13:31

but even at the cross Jesus became poor

13:34

amen so that why he who is he who owns

13:37

the castle in A Thousand Hills why did

13:40

he become poor so that you and I through

13:42

his poverty might be rich it's all in

13:45

the cross my friend amen when you

13:47

receive Jesus Christ the first benefit

13:50

amen he forgives you of all your sins

13:53

praise the Lord why because because all

13:55

paid for born at the cross Hallelujah

13:59

the lord loves you amen and and you know

14:02

the biggest problem that we have in our

14:04

world today is selfishness

14:06

self-centeredness amen all they can

14:08

think of is pursuit of wealth and

14:11

pursuit of pleasure hedonistic Pursuit

14:13

and they have no heart for God you know

14:15

men can try to cover up with uh you know

14:18

morality even right but it's there it's

14:21

always that sin is there all right and

14:24

and ever so often it escapes but when it

14:26

escapes it's only shown what is already

14:28

there

14:29

and I remember uh reading about a couple

14:32

from America who visited Russia and they

14:35

went to a zoo in Russia and and they

14:38

were fascinated as they walked around

14:39

the zoo that they found this uh

14:41

enclosure where actually it says co uh

14:45

co-existence that's the title of the

14:48

enclosure coexistence and it was a lion

14:51

with lamps in the enclosure

14:54

now

14:56

the man was thinking look at the title

14:59

of the enclosure coexistence and look at

15:01

the lamb

15:03

you know near the lion and the lion was

15:05

looking peaceful contented probably he

15:08

just fed

15:09

right but how can the The Lion and the

15:11

lamb be in coexistence so he asked that

15:14

he was very fascinated and he reached

15:16

out to the zoo keeper zookeeper about

15:18

this enclosure how is this possible how

15:21

can the lion not attack the Lambs right

15:24

and how can they live together so the

15:27

Zookeeper says it's very simple okay

15:29

ever so often

15:31

we add a lamb

15:33

so you see

15:35

the nature of the lion is the Devour the

15:38

lamb okay and that nature is always

15:41

there so we can give an appearance of

15:42

coexistence but the nature of rivalry

15:45

and and hate and hate and and and and

15:48

Prejudice and and uh self-centeredness

15:51

and all that is always there but friend

15:53

Jesus Christ came to conquer sin and

15:56

that's like a cancer you need to

15:58

understand friend that at the cross

16:01

Jesus conquered that cancer of sin in

16:04

you but loved you amen love you into

16:07

wholeness praise the Lord you see if

16:09

someone you love has cancer amen you you

16:12

don't love the cancer you love the

16:14

person but you in fact you hate the

16:16

cancer

16:17

and how much do you hate the cancer it

16:19

all depends on how much you love the

16:21

person the more you love the person the

16:22

more you hate the cancer that is in the

16:25

person how do you separate the two

16:27

you need to understand this about Sin

16:28

Sin is like a cancer in man God loves

16:31

man

16:33

God doesn't love that sin God hates sin

16:35

because sin is like cancer destroying

16:38

everything good that God has for you

16:43

and when the first Adam sin

16:45

sin came into all mankind but when the

16:48

the Bible calls Jesus

16:51

the last Adam

16:53

when that Adam when that man hung on the

16:56

cross praise the Lord the Bible says by

16:59

the first Adam by the first man by

17:02

Adam's sin by one man's Disobedience we

17:05

all became

17:07

sinners now by the last Adam by one

17:11

man's obedience Jesus and that obedience

17:14

is obedience at the cross

17:16

by one man's obedience we all became

17:20

righteous

17:21

Hallelujah you see the reason you sin is

17:24

because you're a sinner you're a sinner

17:26

because of Adam's sin now today when you

17:29

believe on Jesus you are righteous and

17:32

you do righteous things praise the Lord

17:33

you don't do righteous things to become

17:35

righteous you do righteous things

17:37

because you are righteous but how do you

17:39

become righteous by one man's obedience

17:41

not your obedience by one man's

17:43

obedience

17:44

um

17:45

he made you righteous

17:47

praise the name of Jesus

17:49

Hallelujah

17:51

isn't this good news

17:53

friend I believe God wants to invade

17:56

your life into your household into all

17:59

the dark places of your life you might

18:01

be struggling with depression with drunk

18:04

addiction you might be struggling with a

18:07

broken heart you may see things in

18:09

yourself that you don't like you hate

18:11

but how do you change

18:13

you cannot change by your willpower you

18:15

know that you know that very well amen

18:17

true change is from inside out only God

18:21

can change you only Jesus can transform

18:24

you

18:25

amen and that's the reason he died on

18:28

that cross

18:29

when he hung on that tree for three

18:32

hours Darkness covered the Earth

18:37

it was the heaven became for us

18:41

and he hung there suspended within

18:43

Heaven and Earth is as if heaven will

18:46

not receive him and Earth rejects him he

18:50

took that place for you and I because at

18:52

that time all this was not an accident

18:54

God planted because a tries holy God a

18:59

righteous God cannot receive man that he

19:02

loves into his presence if man has sin

19:05

anymore then a judge can allow a

19:08

murderer to go free a cereal a rapist to

19:12

go free you know he must be judged but

19:15

then God loves you and God doesn't want

19:17

to judge you

19:19

so how can God maintain his

19:22

righteousness and Holiness at the same

19:24

time make you righteous acquitted

19:28

how can God do that

19:30

and the amazing gospel story which is

19:33

story of Christmas commenced it

19:36

is when God sent his son Jesus Christ

19:38

for the purpose of Dying For Us on that

19:40

cross because he who knew no sin when he

19:43

took our place amen that means we take

19:46

his place

19:47

amen today he took our place so that we

19:50

can take his place he took our place of

19:53

rejection

19:54

from God and we take his place of

19:57

acceptance and favor with God

20:00

he bought our sins and it was punished

20:03

to the fullest extent

20:06

for all our sins so that you and I today

20:08

will receive all the blessings that he

20:11

deserve

20:12

and truly enjoy it and give praise to

20:15

God for it Hallelujah

20:18

you know how Jesus became sin on the

20:20

cross not by doing anything sinful like

20:23

I said again the Bible says he did no

20:26

sin

20:27

so how do he become sinful
