And<00:09:54.019><c> that's</c><00:09:54.220><c> what</c><00:09:54.360><c> they</c><00:09:54.559><c> were</c><00:09:54.720><c> sent</c><00:09:54.940><c> forth.</c>

00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:57.320
And<00:09:55.440><c> Asa</c><00:09:55.700><c> failed</c><00:09:56.059><c> to</c><00:09:56.340><c> trust.</c>

00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.220
And<00:09:58.360><c> so</c><00:09:58.559><c> we</c><00:09:58.679><c> have</c><00:09:58.879><c> to</c><00:09:59.039><c> come</c><00:09:59.179><c> to</c><00:09:59.379><c> grips</c><00:09:59.500><c> with</c><00:09:59.659><c> this</c><00:09:59.879><c> concept</c>

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:05.039
that<00:10:00.399><c> God</c><00:10:00.700><c> does</c><00:10:01.059><c> send</c><00:10:01.240><c> his</c><00:10:01.500><c> angels</c><00:10:01.899><c> to</c><00:10:02.620><c> encamp</c><00:10:03.120><c> around</c><00:10:03.500><c> us.</c>

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:07.720
When<00:10:06.299><c> we're</c><00:10:06.559><c> first</c><00:10:06.919><c> faced</c><00:10:07.139><c> with</c><00:10:07.320><c> that</c><00:10:07.539><c> thought</c>

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.700
and<00:10:07.899><c> we</c><00:10:08.200><c> try</c><00:10:08.559><c> and</c><00:10:08.720><c> get</c><00:10:08.840><c> our</c><00:10:09.019><c> minds</c><00:10:09.279><c> around</c><00:10:09.519><c> it</c><00:10:09.620><c> that</c><00:10:09.720><c> God</c><00:10:09.960><c> actually</c><00:10:10.340><c> cares</c>

00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:12.620
enough<00:10:11.019><c> to</c><00:10:11.179><c> give</c><00:10:11.279><c> us</c><00:10:11.519><c> an</c><00:10:11.740><c> angel,</c>

00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:15.379
I<00:10:13.539><c> guess</c><00:10:13.720><c> there's</c><00:10:13.919><c> a</c><00:10:14.019><c> number</c><00:10:14.179><c> of</c><00:10:14.419><c> emotions</c><00:10:14.820><c> that</c><00:10:15.039><c> can</c><00:10:15.259><c> come</c>

00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:16.940
into<00:10:15.559><c> our</c><00:10:15.840><c> hearts.</c>

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.919
It<00:10:17.740><c> probably</c><00:10:17.879><c> depends</c><00:10:18.279><c> where</c><00:10:18.440><c> we</c><00:10:18.659><c> are</c><00:10:18.799><c> in</c><00:10:18.919><c> our</c><00:10:19.139><c> spiritual</c><00:10:19.480><c> maturity,</c>

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:21.899
how<00:10:20.100><c> we</c><00:10:20.379><c> view</c><00:10:20.539><c> that</c><00:10:20.779><c> situation.</c>

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.200
When<00:10:23.740><c> I</c><00:10:23.879><c> was</c><00:10:24.059><c> young,</c><00:10:24.360><c> I</c><00:10:24.460><c> remember</c><00:10:24.960><c> having</c><00:10:25.460><c> this</c><00:10:25.659><c> incredible</c>

00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:27.960
sense<00:10:26.539><c> of</c><00:10:26.720><c> how</c><00:10:26.899><c> much</c><00:10:27.139><c> God</c><00:10:27.360><c> was</c><00:10:27.639><c> watching</c>

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.740
everything<00:10:28.519><c> that</c><00:10:28.700><c> I</c><00:10:28.860><c> not</c><00:10:28.940><c> only</c><00:10:29.259><c> did</c><00:10:29.519><c> but</c><00:10:29.779><c> thought.</c>

00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.139
And<00:10:30.840><c> that</c><00:10:30.940><c> the</c><00:10:31.139><c> angel</c><00:10:31.299><c> was</c><00:10:31.519><c> right</c><00:10:31.860><c> there.</c>

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:37.059
And<00:10:34.940><c> I</c><00:10:35.059><c> guess</c><00:10:35.220><c> when</c><00:10:35.399><c> we're</c><00:10:35.720><c> immature,</c><00:10:36.240><c> our</c><00:10:36.480><c> first</c><00:10:36.759><c> reaction</c>

00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:39.039
is<00:10:37.200><c> one</c><00:10:37.340><c> of</c><00:10:37.600><c> fear</c><00:10:37.840><c> and</c><00:10:38.019><c> of</c><00:10:38.240><c> guilt.</c>

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.320
And<00:10:41.559><c> we</c><00:10:41.659><c> need</c><00:10:41.740><c> to</c><00:10:41.899><c> come</c><00:10:42.000><c> to</c><00:10:42.200><c> realize</c><00:10:42.500><c> that</c><00:10:42.679><c> the</c><00:10:42.899><c> angels</c><00:10:43.059><c> are</c>

00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:44.940
not<00:10:43.580><c> judges.</c>

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.980
Nor<00:10:45.639><c> are</c><00:10:45.759><c> they</c><00:10:45.960><c> sent</c><00:10:46.059><c> to</c><00:10:46.240><c> be</c><00:10:46.539><c> spies</c><00:10:47.120><c> or</c><00:10:47.740><c> policemen.</c>

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.100
They<00:10:49.879><c> are</c><00:10:50.080><c> sent</c><00:10:50.259><c> to</c><00:10:50.559><c> serve.</c>

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.740
Their<00:10:51.620><c> entire</c><00:10:52.379><c> concern</c><00:10:53.120><c> is</c><00:10:53.320><c> that</c><00:10:53.460><c> we</c><00:10:53.779><c> grow</c><00:10:54.360><c> spiritually,</c>

00:10:57.259 --> 00:11:00.559
that<00:10:57.360><c> we</c><00:10:57.620><c> become</c><00:10:57.940><c> suitable</c><00:10:58.460><c> for</c><00:10:59.360><c> the</c><00:10:59.539><c> grace</c><00:10:59.759><c> of</c><00:10:59.980><c> God</c><00:11:00.179><c> to</c><00:11:00.419><c> enter</c>

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:01.919
into<00:11:00.740><c> life.</c>

00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:05.740
And<00:11:02.940><c> their</c><00:11:03.080><c> mission</c><00:11:03.320><c> is</c><00:11:03.559><c> to</c><00:11:03.799><c> care,</c><00:11:04.220><c> to</c><00:11:04.379><c> assist,</c><00:11:04.960><c> and</c><00:11:05.039><c> to</c><00:11:05.320><c> correct,</c><00:11:05.659><c> and</c>

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:09.580
to<00:11:06.220><c> save</c><00:11:06.559><c> us</c><00:11:07.259><c> not</c><00:11:07.840><c> to</c><00:11:08.159><c> have</c><00:11:08.279><c> us</c><00:11:08.580><c> rejected.</c>

00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.379
They<00:11:10.220><c> are</c><00:11:10.480><c> utterly</c><00:11:10.820><c> dedicated</c><00:11:11.320><c> to</c><00:11:11.519><c> our</c><00:11:11.720><c> salvation</c><00:11:12.379><c> and</c><00:11:13.120><c> our</c>

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:14.679
eternal<00:11:13.679><c> benefit.</c>

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.000
They<00:11:15.259><c> have</c><00:11:15.500><c> nothing</c><00:11:15.860><c> for</c><00:11:16.139><c> us</c><00:11:16.379><c> but</c><00:11:16.620><c> goodwill.</c>

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.279
So<00:11:17.100><c> they</c><00:11:17.159><c> do</c><00:11:17.519><c> not</c><00:11:17.899><c> want</c><00:11:18.179><c> to</c><00:11:18.379><c> see</c><00:11:18.500><c> us</c><00:11:18.919><c> fail.</c>

00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:25.679
We<00:11:21.740><c> are</c><00:11:21.899><c> their</c><00:11:22.080><c> brethren</c><00:11:22.460><c> who</c><00:11:23.480><c> they</c><00:11:23.759><c> want</c><00:11:23.919><c> to</c><00:11:24.179><c> see</c><00:11:24.360><c> in</c><00:11:24.519><c> the</c><00:11:24.740><c> kingdom.</c>

00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.200
Oh<00:11:27.360><c> how</c><00:11:27.500><c> we</c><00:11:27.679><c> must</c><00:11:28.039><c> frustrate</c><00:11:28.639><c> them</c><00:11:28.860><c> sometimes,</c><00:11:29.559><c> brethren</c><00:11:29.659><c> and</c><00:11:29.919><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:36.879
with<00:11:30.419><c> our</c><00:11:30.720><c> half</c><00:11:31.019><c>-hearted</c><00:11:31.299><c> ways,</c><00:11:32.600><c> with</c><00:11:32.779><c> our</c><00:11:32.960><c> lack</c><00:11:33.139><c> of</c><00:11:33.519><c> trust</c><00:11:33.779><c> that</c><00:11:33.980><c> their</c><00:11:34.200><c> eyes</c><00:11:34.539><c> are</c><00:11:34.919><c> everywhere</c><00:11:35.299><c> present</c><00:11:35.679><c> to</c><00:11:35.980><c> see.</c>

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:42.440
Let's<00:11:38.740><c> just</c><00:11:39.059><c> examine</c><00:11:39.740><c> Hebrews</c><00:11:40.340><c> chapter</c><00:11:40.740><c> 1</c><00:11:40.919><c> a</c><00:11:41.039><c> little</c><00:11:41.179><c> more</c><00:11:41.480><c> closely.</c>

00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.440
Are<00:11:43.679><c> they</c><00:11:43.940><c> not</c><00:11:44.120><c> all</c><00:11:44.620><c> ministering</c><00:11:45.220><c> spirits?</c>

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.059
Now<00:11:45.759><c> Paul</c><00:11:45.899><c> in</c><00:11:46.039><c> Hebrews</c><00:11:46.279><c> 1</c><00:11:46.539><c> is</c><00:11:46.700><c> actually</c><00:11:47.419><c> making</c><00:11:47.919><c> the</c><00:11:48.159><c> point</c><00:11:48.320><c> that</c><00:11:48.500><c> Christ</c><00:11:48.840><c> as</c>

00:11:49.059 --> 00:11:51.360
a<00:11:49.279><c> son</c><00:11:49.840><c> sits</c><00:11:50.299><c> at</c><00:11:50.480><c> God's</c><00:11:50.820><c> right</c><00:11:51.100><c> hand.</c>

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.820
He's<00:11:51.659><c> a</c><00:11:51.840><c> son</c><00:11:51.960><c> by</c><00:11:52.259><c> inheritance.</c>

00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:54.779
He's<00:11:53.440><c> more</c><00:11:53.779><c> excellent</c><00:11:54.059><c> than</c><00:11:54.220><c> the</c><00:11:54.419><c> angels.</c>

00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:58.860
But<00:11:55.220><c> in</c><00:11:55.460><c> passing</c><00:11:55.840><c> he</c><00:11:55.980><c> makes</c><00:11:56.200><c> the</c><00:11:56.460><c> observation</c><00:11:56.960><c> that</c><00:11:58.000><c> the</c><00:11:58.399><c> angels</c><00:11:58.639><c> are</c>

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:00.320
really<00:11:59.120><c> servants.</c>

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:04.500
We'll<00:12:02.980><c> be</c><00:12:03.100><c> happy</c><00:12:03.259><c> to</c><00:12:03.519><c> serve</c><00:12:03.639><c> in</c><00:12:03.759><c> the</c><00:12:03.919><c> kingdom,</c><00:12:04.379><c> won't</c><00:12:04.379><c> we?</c>

00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.700
We<00:12:04.740><c> would</c><00:12:05.120><c> love</c><00:12:05.320><c> to</c><00:12:05.600><c> serve</c><00:12:05.779><c> God</c><00:12:06.019><c> through</c><00:12:06.259><c> eternity.</c>

00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.179
But<00:12:07.139><c> they</c><00:12:07.379><c> are</c><00:12:07.759><c> servants,</c><00:12:08.259><c> sent</c><00:12:08.500><c> forth</c><00:12:08.779><c> to</c><00:12:09.200><c> serve.</c>

00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:12.419
So<00:12:10.779><c> you</c><00:12:10.980><c> see</c><00:12:11.120><c> that</c><00:12:11.259><c> the</c><00:12:11.379><c> word</c><00:12:11.559><c> ministering</c><00:12:11.980><c> means</c><00:12:12.159><c> that</c><00:12:12.299><c> they</c>

00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:13.320
are<00:12:12.659><c> public</c><00:12:13.059><c> servants.</c>

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.320
They<00:12:13.460><c> are</c><00:12:13.620><c> therefore</c><00:12:13.940><c> the</c><00:12:14.279><c> good</c><00:12:15.039><c> to</c><00:12:16.639><c> minister</c><00:12:17.179><c> for</c><00:12:17.879><c> them</c><00:12:18.139><c> who</c>

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.519

one<00:16:16.820><c> man.</c>

00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:19.799
And<00:16:18.580><c> we're</c><00:16:18.759><c> going</c><00:16:18.759><c> to</c><00:16:18.840><c> look</c><00:16:18.919><c> very</c><00:16:19.200><c> much</c><00:16:19.379><c> at</c><00:16:19.460><c> what's</c><00:16:19.600><c> already</c>

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.419

I<00:16:35.740><c> know</c><00:16:35.960><c> this</c><00:16:36.120><c> is</c><00:16:36.259><c> a</c><00:16:36.299><c> very</c><00:16:36.519><c> familiar</c><00:16:36.820><c> story,</c><00:16:37.100><c> but</c><00:16:37.200><c> I</c><00:16:37.259><c> want</c><00:16:37.440><c> you</c>

to<00:16:37.860><c> see</c><00:16:39.320><c> Jacob</c><00:16:39.840><c> because</c><00:16:40.399><c> he</c><00:16:40.720><c> teaches</c><00:16:41.059><c> us</c><00:16:41.379><c> to</c><00:16:41.639><c> learn</c><00:16:42.039><c> eventually</c><00:16:42.679><c> to</c><00:16:43.000><c> believe.</c>

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.879

We<00:25:44.019><c> want</c><00:25:44.160><c> to</c><00:25:44.380><c> show</c><00:25:44.500><c> you</c><00:25:44.660><c> something.</c>

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.039
Have<00:25:46.160><c> a</c><00:25:46.380><c> look.</c><00:25:46.759><c> You</c><00:25:47.000><c> think</c><00:25:47.480><c> you're</c><00:25:47.759><c> alone.</c>

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.160
Have<00:25:48.500><c> a</c><00:25:48.619><c> look</c><00:25:48.720><c> at</c><00:25:48.900><c> this.</c>

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.140
And<00:25:49.319><c> they</c><00:25:49.460><c> opened</c><00:25:49.720><c> up</c><00:25:49.980><c> his</c><00:25:50.200><c> vista</c><00:25:50.519><c> and</c><00:25:51.059><c> all</c><00:25:51.420><c> around</c><00:25:51.740><c> him</c><00:25:51.940><c> was</c>

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:56.720
the<00:25:52.460><c> host</c><00:25:52.799><c> of</c><00:25:53.299><c> Yahweh,</c><00:25:55.700><c> an</c><00:25:55.839><c> enormous</c><00:25:56.319><c> company.</c>

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:59.819
And<00:25:56.920><c> he</c><00:25:57.119><c> saw</c><00:25:57.380><c> them</c><00:25:57.519><c> and</c><00:25:57.660><c> he</c><00:25:57.740><c> said,</c><00:25:57.960><c> this</c><00:25:58.420><c> is</c><00:25:59.019><c> God's</c><00:25:59.680><c> host.</c>

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:03.859
This<00:26:00.059><c> is</c><00:26:00.400><c> God's</c><00:26:01.039><c> army,</c><00:26:01.819><c> God's</c><00:26:02.319><c> encampment.</c>

00:26:04.259 --> 00:26:06.220
And<00:26:04.839><c> he</c><00:26:04.920><c> made</c><00:26:05.039><c> a</c><00:26:05.140><c> big</c><00:26:05.259><c> mistake.</c>

00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:11.059
He<00:26:06.960><c> called</c><00:26:07.240><c> the</c><00:26:07.420><c> name</c><00:26:07.559><c> of</c><00:26:07.700><c> the</c><00:26:07.880><c> place</c><00:26:08.940><c> Mahanaim,</c><00:26:10.099><c> which</c><00:26:10.299><c> means</c>

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:13.960
two<00:26:12.000><c> camps</c><00:26:12.420><c> or</c><00:26:12.700><c> two</c><00:26:13.099><c> armies.</c>

00:26:14.140 --> 00:26:16.460
So<00:26:14.299><c> there's</c><00:26:14.640><c> my</c><00:26:14.940><c> camp</c><00:26:15.240><c> and</c><00:26:15.519><c> there's</c><00:26:15.859><c> God's</c><00:26:16.299><c> camp.</c>

00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:18.400
And<00:26:16.779><c> he</c><00:26:16.920><c> was</c><00:26:17.180><c> wrong.</c>

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.759
God<00:26:19.359><c> was</c><00:26:19.640><c> trying</c><00:26:19.900><c> to</c><00:26:20.140><c> say</c><00:26:20.299><c> we're</c><00:26:20.619><c> all</c><00:26:21.019><c> one</c><00:26:21.420><c> camp,</c><00:26:21.680><c> Jacob.</c>

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:25.460
We're<00:26:24.119><c> around</c><00:26:24.359><c> you</c><00:26:24.539><c> and</c><00:26:24.660><c> it's</c><00:26:24.880><c> one</c><00:26:25.200><c> camp.</c>

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.059
He<00:26:25.900><c> called</c><00:26:26.119><c> the</c><00:26:26.299><c> name</c><00:26:26.400><c> of</c><00:26:26.519><c> the</c><00:26:26.680><c> place</c><00:26:26.920><c> Mahanaim,</c><00:26:27.720><c> two</c><00:26:27.900><c> camps.</c>

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:33.359
David<00:26:31.799><c> got</c><00:26:31.960><c> it</c><00:26:32.220><c> right</c><00:26:32.319><c> in</c><00:26:32.579><c> Psalm</c><00:26:32.799><c> 34.</c>

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.059
The<00:26:33.680><c> angel</c><00:26:34.019><c> of</c><00:26:34.299><c> Yahweh</c><00:26:34.660><c> encamps</c><00:26:35.539><c> Mahanaim.</c>

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:38.279
Very<00:26:37.720><c> similar</c><00:26:37.980><c> word.</c>

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:41.500
He<00:26:38.799><c> encamps</c><00:26:39.240><c> around</c><00:26:39.700><c> those</c><00:26:40.000><c> that</c><00:26:40.180><c> love</c><00:26:40.319><c> and</c><00:26:40.519><c> fear</c><00:26:40.640><c> him.</c>

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:45.359
It's<00:26:42.240><c> where</c><00:26:42.339><c> he</c><00:26:42.460><c> got</c><00:26:42.579><c> it</c><00:26:42.779><c> from,</c><00:26:43.980><c> two</c><00:26:44.160><c> camps.</c>

00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.319
But<00:26:48.980><c> Jacob</c><00:26:49.539><c> is</c><00:26:51.559><c> still</c><00:26:51.740><c> not</c><00:26:52.000><c> trusting.</c>

00:26:52.619 --> 00:26:55.380
You<00:26:52.680><c> know,</c><00:26:52.799><c> he's</c><00:26:53.160><c> seen</c><00:26:53.420><c> the</c><00:26:53.700><c> angels,</c><00:26:53.960><c> but</c><00:26:54.079><c> he</c><00:26:54.359><c> still</c><00:26:54.579><c> doesn't</c><00:26:54.940><c> believe.</c>

00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:59.259
He<00:26:55.819><c> still</c><00:26:56.099><c> can't</c><00:26:56.420><c> bring</c><00:26:56.680><c> the</c><00:26:56.960><c> fact</c><00:26:57.200><c> together</c><00:26:57.660><c> that</c><00:26:58.279><c> the</c><00:26:58.559><c> angels</c><00:26:58.880><c> will</c>

00:26:59.259 --> 00:27:01.180
deliver<00:26:59.579><c> him</c><00:26:59.759><c> from</c><00:26:59.900><c> the</c><00:27:00.059><c> hand</c><00:27:00.200><c> of</c><00:27:00.420><c> Esau.</c>

00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:05.000
He<00:27:02.539><c> still</c><00:27:02.819><c> thinks</c><00:27:03.000><c> it's</c><00:27:03.180><c> up</c><00:27:03.299><c> to</c><00:27:03.420><c> him</c><00:27:03.859><c> and</c><00:27:04.140><c> his</c><00:27:04.319><c> own</c><00:27:04.599><c> devising</c>

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:05.720
to<00:27:05.160><c> do</c><00:27:05.400><c> something.</c>

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.880
And<00:27:06.259><c> what</c><00:27:06.380><c> does</c><00:27:06.500><c> he</c><00:27:06.599><c> do?</c>

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:09.660
In<00:27:07.119><c> verse</c><00:27:07.319><c> three,</c><00:27:08.160><c> he</c><00:27:08.339><c> sends</c><00:27:08.500><c> out</c><00:27:08.660><c> his</c><00:27:08.819><c> own</c><00:27:09.059><c> angels.</c>

00:27:09.660 --> 00:27:10.740
Verse<00:27:10.339><c> three.</c>

00:27:10.859 --> 00:27:13.099
He<00:27:10.960><c> sent</c><00:27:11.559><c> messengers.</c>

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:15.539
Instead<00:27:13.700><c> of</c><00:27:13.839><c> trusting</c><00:27:14.200><c> God's</c><00:27:14.799><c> messengers,</c><00:27:15.099><c> he</c><00:27:15.220><c> says,</c><00:27:15.539><c> well,</c>

00:27:15.539 --> 00:27:17.539
I've<00:27:15.660><c> got</c><00:27:15.720><c> to</c><00:27:15.859><c> go</c><00:27:15.980><c> and</c><00:27:16.119><c> appease</c><00:27:16.640><c> Esau.</c>

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.660
And<00:27:18.099><c> so</c><00:27:18.240><c> he</c><00:27:18.359><c> sends</c><00:27:18.640><c> off</c><00:27:19.019><c> spies</c><00:27:19.460><c> and</c><00:27:19.619><c> people</c><00:27:19.759><c> are</c><00:27:19.900><c> going</c><00:27:20.039><c> to</c><00:27:20.259><c> talk</c><00:27:20.500><c> to</c>

00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:26.779
You<00:27:24.720><c> see,</c><00:27:24.759><c> he</c><00:27:24.880><c> doesn't</c><00:27:25.180><c> trust</c><00:27:25.539><c> and</c><00:27:25.700><c> the</c><00:27:25.859><c> messengers</c><00:27:26.099><c> come</c><00:27:26.420><c> back.</c>

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.279
And<00:27:27.420><c> human</c><00:27:27.619><c> messengers</c><00:27:28.039><c> always</c><00:27:28.599><c> let</c><00:27:28.779><c> you</c><00:27:28.980><c> down.</c>

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:31.400
They<00:27:29.759><c> did</c><00:27:30.039><c> not</c><00:27:30.240><c> get</c><00:27:30.460><c> to</c><00:27:30.680><c> talk</c><00:27:30.839><c> to</c><00:27:31.059><c> Esau.</c>

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:33.359
He<00:27:31.859><c> said,</c><00:27:31.980><c> you</c><00:27:32.119><c> go</c><00:27:32.319><c> and</c><00:27:32.519><c> talk</c><00:27:32.700><c> to</c><00:27:32.920><c> Esau.</c>

00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:36.559
They<00:27:33.940><c> come</c><00:27:34.119><c> back</c><00:27:34.279><c> and</c><00:27:34.400><c> they</c><00:27:34.660><c> said,</c><00:27:35.660><c> we</c><00:27:35.779><c> saw</c><00:27:35.980><c> him</c><00:27:36.259><c> coming</c><00:27:36.440><c> and</c>

00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.680
he's<00:27:36.720><c> got</c><00:27:36.839><c> 400</c><00:27:37.279><c> men</c><00:27:37.539><c> with</c><00:27:37.740><c> him.</c>

00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:41.539
They<00:27:39.559><c> never</c><00:27:39.839><c> ever</c><00:27:40.079><c> got</c><00:27:40.279><c> to</c><00:27:40.460><c> find</c><00:27:40.539><c> what</c><00:27:40.720><c> Esau's</c><00:27:40.980><c> attitude</c><00:27:41.299><c> was.</c>

00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.660
They<00:27:41.720><c> just</c><00:27:41.940><c> said,</c><00:27:42.059><c> we</c><00:27:42.099><c> saw</c><00:27:42.299><c> 400</c><00:27:42.920><c> men,</c><00:27:43.259><c> all</c><00:27:43.519><c> of</c><00:27:43.640><c> them</c><00:27:43.759><c> armed.</c>

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:46.500
We're<00:27:45.160><c> in</c><00:27:45.319><c> big</c><00:27:45.480><c> trouble.</c>

00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:49.720
And<00:27:47.460><c> if</c><00:27:47.579><c> we</c><00:27:47.700><c> don't</c><00:27:47.859><c> trust</c><00:27:48.119><c> the</c><00:27:48.279><c> heavenly</c><00:27:48.539><c> messenger,</c><00:27:49.460><c> we</c><00:27:49.539><c> think</c><00:27:49.619><c> we</c>

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:56.799
So<00:27:52.559><c> Jacob,</c><00:27:52.940><c> we</c><00:27:53.039><c> read</c><00:27:53.240><c> in</c><00:27:53.460><c> verse</c><00:27:54.339><c> six,</c><00:27:55.220><c> he</c><00:27:55.420><c> was</c><00:27:55.720><c> greatly</c><00:27:56.359><c> afraid</c>

00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.400
and<00:27:57.019><c> distressed.</c>

00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.859
Now<00:27:57.660><c> later</c><00:27:57.779><c> on</c><00:27:57.900><c> he</c><00:27:58.019><c> called</c><00:27:58.119><c> this</c><00:27:58.299><c> the</c><00:27:58.519><c> day</c><00:27:58.700><c> of</c><00:27:58.900><c> his</c><00:27:59.140><c> distress.</c>

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:02.259
Now<00:28:00.599><c> he's</c><00:28:00.920><c> really</c><00:28:01.380><c> scared.</c>

00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.720
Esau's<00:28:02.839><c> got</c><00:28:03.160><c> 400</c><00:28:04.339><c> powerful</c><00:28:05.279><c> men</c><00:28:05.539><c> with</c><00:28:05.720><c> him.</c>

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:08.700
Incredible,<00:28:07.640><c> isn't</c><00:28:07.680><c> it?</c>

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:11.740
If<00:28:09.119><c> you</c><00:28:09.160><c> don't</c><00:28:09.380><c> trust</c><00:28:09.680><c> God,</c><00:28:09.940><c> it</c><00:28:10.039><c> doesn't</c><00:28:10.259><c> get</c><00:28:10.440><c> any</c><00:28:10.640><c> better.</c>

00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:13.880
So<00:28:12.779><c> he</c><00:28:12.819><c> thinks,</c><00:28:13.019><c> well,</c><00:28:13.140><c> I've</c><00:28:13.240><c> got</c><00:28:13.319><c> to</c><00:28:13.440><c> do</c><00:28:13.599><c> something.</c>

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:17.359
So<00:28:14.079><c> I'll</c><00:28:14.359><c> divide</c><00:28:14.759><c> my</c><00:28:15.140><c> company</c><00:28:15.500><c> into</c><00:28:15.920><c> two</c><00:28:16.220><c> bands.</c>

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:20.980
Mahanaim<00:28:19.259><c> again,</c><00:28:19.819><c> two</c><00:28:20.039><c> companies.</c>

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.059
I'm<00:28:21.140><c> going</c><00:28:21.160><c> to</c><00:28:21.259><c> make</c><00:28:21.359><c> it</c><00:28:21.460><c> into</c><00:28:21.680><c> three</c><00:28:21.920><c> groups</c><00:28:22.220><c> now.</c>

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:25.740
So<00:28:23.740><c> you</c><00:28:23.839><c> see,</c><00:28:23.920><c> he's</c><00:28:24.140><c> got</c><00:28:24.200><c> it</c><00:28:24.440><c> wrong</c><00:28:24.700><c> totally.</c>

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:29.019
And<00:28:26.880><c> he</c><00:28:27.000><c> thinks,</c><00:28:27.240><c> well,</c><00:28:27.380><c> if</c><00:28:27.799><c> Esau</c><00:28:28.059><c> hits</c><00:28:28.279><c> this</c><00:28:28.599><c> one,</c><00:28:28.779><c> then</c><00:28:28.880><c> the</c>

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:32.799
And<00:28:30.339><c> then</c><00:28:30.420><c> he</c><00:28:30.500><c> gives</c><00:28:30.680><c> this</c><00:28:30.960><c> glorious</c><00:28:31.579><c> prayer,</c><00:28:31.900><c> which</c><00:28:32.099><c> is</c><00:28:32.599><c> full</c>

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.619
of<00:28:33.140><c> wonderful</c><00:28:33.460><c> allusions</c><00:28:33.920><c> to</c><00:28:34.200><c> God,</c>

00:28:34.619 --> 00:28:37.400
but<00:28:35.299><c> still</c><00:28:35.960><c> not</c><00:28:36.640><c> fully</c><00:28:36.900><c> in</c><00:28:37.240><c> faith.</c>

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.160
All<00:28:37.579><c> you</c><00:28:37.660><c> can</c><00:28:37.940><c> see,</c><00:28:38.559><c> look,</c><00:28:38.720><c> you</c><00:28:38.859><c> read</c><00:28:39.099><c> verse</c><00:28:39.740><c> 11.</c>

00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:42.059
When<00:28:40.359><c> you</c><00:28:40.460><c> read</c><00:28:40.559><c> it</c><00:28:40.700><c> in</c><00:28:40.839><c> the</c><00:28:40.940><c> Hebrew,</c><00:28:41.220><c> it's</c><00:28:41.420><c> very</c><00:28:41.680><c> dramatic</c>

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:43.480
and<00:28:42.220><c> very</c><00:28:42.539><c> graphic.</c>

00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:46.240
He<00:28:43.779><c> says,</c><00:28:44.119><c> deliver</c><00:28:44.339><c> me,</c><00:28:44.599><c> I</c><00:28:44.819><c> pray,</c><00:28:45.039><c> from</c><00:28:45.180><c> the</c><00:28:45.420><c> hand</c><00:28:45.519><c> of</c><00:28:45.680><c> my</c><00:28:45.859><c> brother,</c><00:28:46.059><c> from</c>

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:47.680
the<00:28:46.480><c> hand</c><00:28:46.660><c> of</c><00:28:46.940><c> Esau.</c>

00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:53.119
Oh,<00:28:50.299><c> he</c><00:28:50.660><c> was</c><00:28:50.839><c> very</c><00:28:51.200><c> glad</c><00:28:51.319><c> to</c><00:28:51.500><c> have</c><00:28:51.619><c> the</c><00:28:51.819><c> hands</c><00:28:51.960><c> of</c><00:28:52.160><c> Esau</c><00:28:52.400><c> a</c><00:28:52.579><c> little</c><00:28:52.720><c> while</c><00:28:52.900><c> ago,</c>

00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:54.539
wasn't<00:28:53.359><c> he?</c>

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:56.640
Remember<00:28:55.579><c> what</c><00:28:56.000><c> Isaac</c><00:28:56.359><c> said?</c>

00:28:56.740 --> 00:28:59.579
The<00:28:56.900><c> voice</c><00:28:57.140><c> is</c><00:28:57.380><c> Jacob's,</c><00:28:57.700><c> but</c><00:28:57.859><c> the</c><00:28:58.200><c> hands</c><00:28:58.579><c> are</c><00:28:58.759><c> the</c><00:28:58.859><c> hands</c><00:28:59.099><c> of</c><00:28:59.279><c> Esau.</c>

00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:02.140
Let<00:28:59.960><c> me</c><00:29:00.240><c> feel,</c><00:29:00.380><c> you</c><00:29:00.579><c> really</c><00:29:00.859><c> are</c><00:29:01.099><c> Esau,</c><00:29:01.480><c> aren't</c><00:29:01.680><c> you?</c>

Oh,<00:29:03.000><c> yes,</c><00:29:03.160><c> I'm</c><00:29:03.480><c> Esau.</c>

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:08.579
And<00:29:04.779><c> now</c><00:29:05.019><c> he's</c><00:29:05.240><c> saying,</c><00:29:05.880><c> deliver</c><00:29:06.200><c> me</c><00:29:06.480><c> from</c><00:29:06.640><c> the</c><00:29:06.859><c> hands</c><00:29:07.059><c> of</c><00:29:07.240><c> Esau.</c>

00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:11.299
See<00:29:08.799><c> how</c><00:29:08.980><c> God</c><00:29:09.359><c> brings</c><00:29:09.819><c> the</c><00:29:10.119><c> wheel</c><00:29:10.339><c> round</c><00:29:10.519><c> upon</c><00:29:10.839><c> people</c><00:29:11.160><c> that</c>

00:29:11.299 --> 00:29:12.740

00:29:16.819 --> 00:29:19.480
For<00:29:16.900><c> I</c><00:29:17.240><c> fear</c><00:29:17.440><c> him,</c><00:29:17.740><c> lest</c><00:29:17.819><c> he</c><00:29:17.980><c> will</c><00:29:18.220><c> come</c><00:29:18.539><c> and</c><00:29:18.839><c> smite</c><00:29:19.160><c> me.</c>

00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.420
And<00:29:19.920><c> the</c><00:29:20.140><c> mother</c><00:29:20.299><c> with</c><00:29:20.480><c> the</c><00:29:20.759><c> children,</c><00:29:21.039><c> and</c><00:29:21.160><c> the</c><00:29:21.319><c> margins</c><00:29:21.559><c> quite</c><00:29:21.940><c> rightly,</c><00:29:22.200><c> the</c>

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.420
I<00:29:23.839><c> can</c><00:29:24.000><c> see</c><00:29:24.140><c> Esau</c><00:29:24.460><c> carving</c><00:29:24.940><c> up</c><00:29:25.180><c> my</c><00:29:25.380><c> little</c><00:29:25.599><c> children</c><00:29:25.920><c> in</c><00:29:26.200><c> bits.</c>

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:28.640
And<00:29:26.779><c> then</c><00:29:26.900><c> the</c><00:29:27.079><c> mother's</c><00:29:27.380><c> on</c><00:29:27.559><c> top</c><00:29:27.740><c> of</c><00:29:27.839><c> them.</c>

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.980
And<00:29:31.619><c> that's</c><00:29:31.880><c> the</c><00:29:32.019><c> vision</c><00:29:32.160><c> in</c><00:29:32.380><c> Jacob's</c><00:29:32.920><c> mind,</c><00:29:33.420><c> not</c><00:29:33.680><c> the</c><00:29:33.859><c> vision</c>

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:38.539
And<00:29:36.299><c> you</c><00:29:36.420><c> see,</c><00:29:36.539><c> he's</c><00:29:36.700><c> obsessed</c><00:29:37.180><c> with</c><00:29:37.359><c> his</c><00:29:37.640><c> fear.</c>

00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:41.299
He<00:29:40.039><c> calls</c><00:29:40.240><c> upon</c><00:29:40.500><c> God's</c><00:29:40.940><c> promises.</c>

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:43.940
Glorious<00:29:42.160><c> prayer</c><00:29:42.460><c> in</c><00:29:42.640><c> many</c><00:29:42.799><c> ways.</c>

No,<00:29:46.579><c> look</c><00:29:46.740><c> what</c><00:29:46.940><c> happens</c><00:29:47.240><c> in</c><00:29:47.460><c> verse</c><00:29:47.700><c> 13.</c>

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.779
He<00:29:49.359><c> lodged</c><00:29:49.759><c> there</c><00:29:49.920><c> and</c><00:29:50.059><c> took</c><00:29:50.480><c> of</c><00:29:51.440><c> that</c><00:29:51.579><c> which</c><00:29:51.700><c> came</c><00:29:51.940><c> to</c><00:29:52.079><c> his</c><00:29:52.319><c> hand</c><00:29:52.500><c> a</c>

00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:55.559
And<00:29:53.599><c> he</c><00:29:53.759><c> starts</c><00:29:54.000><c> doing</c><00:29:54.099><c> all</c><00:29:54.319><c> this</c><00:29:54.539><c> dividing</c><00:29:54.880><c> up</c><00:29:55.039><c> of</c><00:29:55.240><c> animals,</c>

He<00:30:22.039><c> says</c><00:30:22.279><c> this.</c>

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:27.319
And<00:30:25.579><c> this</c><00:30:26.039><c> is</c><00:30:26.279><c> what</c><00:30:26.359><c> the</c><00:30:26.579><c> servants</c><00:30:26.759><c> had</c><00:30:26.920><c> to</c><00:30:27.140><c> say.</c>

00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:29.960
Behold<00:30:27.819><c> thy</c><00:30:28.119><c> servant</c><00:30:28.400><c> Jacob</c><00:30:28.740><c> is</c><00:30:28.940><c> behind</c><00:30:29.359><c> us.</c>

00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:31.740

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:35.000
This<00:30:31.920><c> is</c><00:30:32.079><c> the</c><00:30:32.200><c> Bible</c><00:30:32.440><c> telling</c><00:30:32.680><c> us</c><00:30:32.900><c> this</c><00:30:33.059><c> is</c><00:30:33.220><c> the</c><00:30:33.460><c> thinking</c><00:30:33.680><c> of</c><00:30:33.900><c> Jacob.</c>

00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:40.539
For<00:30:35.559><c> I</c><00:30:35.960><c> will</c><00:30:36.240><c> cover</c><00:30:36.579><c> his</c><00:30:37.000><c> face</c><00:30:37.859><c> with</c><00:30:39.380><c> the</c><00:30:39.700><c> present</c><00:30:39.960><c> that</c><00:30:40.200><c> goes</c>

00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:46.119
And<00:30:43.359><c> afterward</c><00:30:43.700><c> I</c><00:30:43.900><c> will</c><00:30:44.220><c> see</c><00:30:44.640><c> his</c><00:30:45.099><c> face.</c>

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:49.279
And<00:30:46.599><c> peradventure</c><00:30:47.160><c> he</c><00:30:47.299><c> will</c><00:30:47.500><c> accept</c><00:30:47.839><c> my</c><00:30:48.240><c> face.</c>

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:51.559
That's<00:30:50.119><c> the</c><00:30:50.259><c> literal</c><00:30:50.539><c> Hebrew</c><00:30:50.859><c> of</c><00:30:51.019><c> that</c><00:30:51.299><c> verse.</c>

00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:54.359
It's<00:30:51.839><c> all</c><00:30:52.099><c> about</c><00:30:52.420><c> the</c><00:30:52.640><c> face</c><00:30:52.839><c> of</c><00:30:53.099><c> Jacob</c><00:30:53.359><c> and</c><00:30:53.599><c> Esau.</c>

00:30:54.420 --> 00:30:57.099
And<00:30:54.539><c> the</c><00:30:54.700><c> last</c><00:30:54.900><c> time</c><00:30:55.059><c> he</c><00:30:55.180><c> saw</c><00:30:55.380><c> Esau's</c><00:30:56.079><c> face</c><00:30:56.240><c> it</c><00:30:56.359><c> was</c><00:30:56.700><c> contorted</c>

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:59.839
with<00:30:57.339><c> anger</c><00:30:57.539><c> and</c><00:30:57.799><c> says</c><00:30:58.059><c> you're</c><00:30:58.900><c> dead.</c>

00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:01.099
Brother,<00:31:00.240><c> you're</c><00:31:00.779><c> dead.</c>

00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:03.880
And<00:31:01.579><c> he</c><00:31:01.660><c> can</c><00:31:01.940><c> still</c><00:31:02.220><c> see</c><00:31:02.359><c> that</c><00:31:02.579><c> angry</c><00:31:02.859><c> face.</c>

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:11.720
And<00:31:09.480><c> you</c><00:31:09.579><c> see</c><00:31:09.619><c> he's</c><00:31:09.940><c> absolutely</c><00:31:10.359><c> concerned</c><00:31:10.980><c> with</c><00:31:11.240><c> the</c><00:31:11.500><c> face</c>

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.880
of<00:31:11.940><c> Esau.</c>

00:31:14.059 --> 00:31:16.920
I<00:31:14.339><c> will</c><00:31:14.480><c> appease</c><00:31:14.819><c> his</c><00:31:15.160><c> face</c><00:31:15.539><c> and</c><00:31:15.640><c> he</c><00:31:15.779><c> will</c><00:31:15.960><c> see</c><00:31:16.220><c> my</c><00:31:16.599><c> face.</c>

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:18.759
And<00:31:17.259><c> it's</c><00:31:17.339><c> all</c><00:31:17.480><c> about</c><00:31:17.799><c> faces.</c>

00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:23.960
What<00:31:20.079><c> did</c><00:31:20.279><c> he</c><00:31:20.420><c> call</c><00:31:20.640><c> the</c><00:31:20.859><c> place</c><00:31:21.279><c> after</c><00:31:22.500><c> he</c><00:31:22.720><c> fought</c><00:31:22.839><c> with</c><00:31:23.019><c> the</c><00:31:23.140><c> angel?</c>

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:27.660
The<00:31:26.000><c> faces</c><00:31:26.299><c> of</c><00:31:26.539><c> God.</c>

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:30.460
The<00:31:28.359><c> face</c><00:31:28.740><c> of</c><00:31:29.019><c> the</c><00:31:29.240><c> Elohim.</c>

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:32.160
That's<00:31:30.579><c> what</c><00:31:30.660><c> he</c><00:31:30.759><c> called</c><00:31:30.920><c> the</c><00:31:31.160><c> place.</c>

00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.500
And<00:31:33.160><c> the</c><00:31:33.299><c> angel</c><00:31:33.500><c> got</c><00:31:33.660><c> hold</c><00:31:33.880><c> of</c><00:31:33.980><c> him</c><00:31:34.839><c> and</c><00:31:35.980><c> said</c><00:31:36.140><c> Jacob</c><00:31:36.500><c> I've</c><00:31:36.859><c> been</c><00:31:37.039><c> telling</c><00:31:37.220><c> you</c>

00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:39.420
I<00:31:37.680><c> will</c><00:31:37.960><c> never</c><00:31:38.180><c> leave</c><00:31:38.440><c> you.</c>

00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:41.700
I've<00:31:39.779><c> been</c><00:31:39.980><c> with</c><00:31:40.180><c> you</c><00:31:40.339><c> for</c><00:31:40.500><c> 40</c><00:31:40.700><c> years.</c>

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:44.000
I've<00:31:41.960><c> got</c><00:31:42.059><c> an</c><00:31:42.240><c> army</c><00:31:42.400><c> on</c><00:31:42.579><c> my</c><00:31:42.940><c> side.</c>

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:46.319
Look<00:31:44.859><c> at</c><00:31:45.059><c> my</c><00:31:45.339><c> face.</c>

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:49.319
And<00:31:47.259><c> when</c><00:31:47.440><c> you're</c><00:31:47.720><c> wrestling</c><00:31:47.960><c> with</c><00:31:48.259><c> somebody,</c>

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:54.839
you're<00:31:51.180><c> probably</c><00:31:51.519><c> closer</c><00:31:51.880><c> to</c><00:31:52.099><c> somebody's</c><00:31:52.660><c> face</c><00:31:52.900><c> for</c><00:31:53.200><c> any</c><00:31:53.500><c> other</c><00:31:53.859><c> experience</c><00:31:54.359><c> of</c><00:31:54.599><c> life</c>

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:57.700
except<00:31:55.119><c> perhaps</c><00:31:55.440><c> for</c><00:31:55.619><c> those</c><00:31:56.000><c> who</c><00:31:56.440><c> are</c><00:31:56.559><c> in</c><00:31:56.700><c> love.</c>

00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:00.779
When<00:31:58.759><c> you're</c><00:31:58.960><c> wrestling</c><00:31:59.140><c> with</c><00:31:59.420><c> somebody</c><00:31:59.700><c> you're</c><00:32:00.359><c> agonizing</c>

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:02.539
with<00:32:01.059><c> face</c><00:32:01.299><c> to</c><00:32:01.440><c> face</c><00:32:01.779><c> as</c><00:32:01.940><c> you're</c><00:32:02.119><c> gripping</c>

00:32:02.539 --> 00:32:04.160

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:08.539
And<00:32:04.700><c> the</c><00:32:04.880><c> angel</c><00:32:05.039><c> said</c><00:32:05.380><c> don't</c><00:32:06.279><c> look</c><00:32:06.420><c> at</c><00:32:06.539><c> Esau,</c><00:32:06.940><c> look</c><00:32:07.119><c> at</c><00:32:07.319><c> my</c><00:32:07.579><c> face.</c>

00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:11.700
And<00:32:09.640><c> so</c><00:32:09.759><c> the</c><00:32:09.900><c> angel</c><00:32:10.140><c> wrestles</c><00:32:10.420><c> with</c><00:32:10.559><c> him</c><00:32:10.640><c> and</c><00:32:10.759><c> we</c><00:32:10.940><c> fight</c><00:32:11.099><c> in</c><00:32:11.259><c> verse</c><00:32:11.400><c> 24</c>

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.859
and<00:32:11.960><c> Jacob</c><00:32:12.180><c> was</c><00:32:12.400><c> left</c><00:32:12.619><c> alone.</c>

00:32:12.859 --> 00:32:13.880
And<00:32:13.359><c> finally</c><00:32:13.380><c> he's</c><00:32:13.619><c> alone.</c>

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:18.019
He's<00:32:14.079><c> sent</c><00:32:14.180><c> all</c><00:32:14.480><c> his</c><00:32:14.759><c> cunning</c><00:32:16.099><c> ahead</c><00:32:16.660><c> of</c><00:32:16.779><c> him.</c>

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:20.579
And<00:32:18.559><c> he's</c><00:32:18.779><c> still</c><00:32:19.140><c> trying</c><00:32:19.339><c> to</c><00:32:19.400><c> find</c><00:32:19.640><c> God.</c>

00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.380
And<00:32:21.480><c> they</c><00:32:21.619><c> wrestled</c><00:32:21.900><c> a</c><00:32:22.079><c> man</c><00:32:22.319><c> with</c><00:32:22.519><c> him</c><00:32:22.700><c> to</c><00:32:22.839><c> the</c><00:32:23.039><c> breaking</c><00:32:23.240><c> of</c>

00:32:23.380 --> 00:32:23.519
the<00:32:23.460><c> day.</c>

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:24.279
We<00:32:23.619><c> know</c><00:32:23.799><c> it</c><00:32:23.880><c> was</c><00:32:24.000><c> an</c><00:32:24.160><c> angel.</c>

00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:26.519
Hosea<00:32:24.980><c> tells</c><00:32:25.259><c> us</c><00:32:25.380><c> it</c><00:32:25.400><c> was</c><00:32:25.579><c> an</c><00:32:25.759><c> angel.</c>

00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:31.579
And<00:32:27.640><c> all</c><00:32:27.900><c> through</c><00:32:28.079><c> the</c><00:32:28.240><c> night</c><00:32:28.420><c> the</c><00:32:28.700><c> angel</c><00:32:29.140><c> makes</c><00:32:29.940><c> Jacob</c><00:32:30.759><c> exert</c><00:32:31.240><c> himself.</c>

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:34.140
Now<00:32:31.740><c> the</c><00:32:31.839><c> angel</c><00:32:32.079><c> could</c><00:32:32.299><c> as</c><00:32:32.519><c> we</c><00:32:32.680><c> know</c><00:32:32.900><c> the</c><00:32:33.039><c> angel</c><00:32:33.279><c> later</c><00:32:33.500><c> did</c><00:32:33.700><c> just</c><00:32:33.940><c> go</c>

00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.240

Well<00:37:49.039><c> it</c><00:37:49.159><c> brought</c><00:37:49.340><c> him</c><00:37:49.539><c> through.</c>

00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:53.019
You<00:37:51.619><c> know</c><00:37:51.719><c> he</c><00:37:51.820><c> said</c><00:37:52.000><c> to</c><00:37:52.219><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:37:53.260 --> 00:37:57.400
Few<00:37:53.260><c> and</c><00:37:53.719><c> evil</c><00:37:54.019><c> have</c><00:37:54.239><c> been</c><00:37:54.420><c> the</c><00:37:54.699><c> days</c><00:37:55.039><c> of</c><00:37:55.260><c> the</c><00:37:55.519><c> years</c><00:37:55.780><c> of</c><00:37:56.000><c> my</c><00:37:56.320><c> life.</c>

00:37:58.619 --> 00:38:01.019
All<00:37:58.880><c> things</c><00:37:59.119><c> are</c><00:37:59.420><c> against</c><00:37:59.760><c> me.</c>

00:38:01.059 --> 00:38:04.139
But<00:38:01.280><c> now</c><00:38:01.900><c> as</c><00:38:02.599><c> he's</c><00:38:02.900><c> come</c><00:38:03.139><c> to</c><00:38:03.380><c> supreme</c><00:38:03.699><c> faith.</c>

00:38:04.219 --> 00:38:07.159
He<00:38:04.460><c> says</c><00:38:04.739><c> the</c><00:38:05.099><c> angel</c><00:38:05.340><c> brought</c><00:38:05.579><c> me</c><00:38:05.840><c> through</c><00:38:06.059><c> all</c><00:38:06.179><c> that</c><00:38:06.340><c> evil.</c>

00:38:07.300 --> 00:38:08.380
Not<00:38:07.519><c> away</c><00:38:07.800><c> from</c><00:38:07.980><c> it.</c>

00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:10.739
I<00:38:09.360><c> wasn't</c><00:38:09.780><c> spared</c><00:38:10.099><c> a</c><00:38:10.159><c> lot</c><00:38:10.340><c> of</c><00:38:10.539><c> evil.</c>

00:38:10.940 --> 00:38:13.400
But<00:38:11.000><c> I've</c><00:38:11.280><c> been</c><00:38:11.460><c> brought</c><00:38:11.760><c> through</c><00:38:12.179><c> to</c><00:38:12.420><c> the</c><00:38:12.519><c> end</c><00:38:12.679><c> of</c><00:38:12.860><c> my</c><00:38:13.039><c> life.</c>

00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.980
And<00:38:13.820><c> now</c><00:38:14.079><c> I've</c><00:38:14.300><c> got</c><00:38:14.480><c> Joseph</c><00:38:14.940><c> and</c><00:38:15.119><c> I've</c><00:38:15.280><c> got</c><00:38:15.400><c> all</c><00:38:15.699><c> my</c><00:38:15.940><c> sons.</c>

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.079
Around<00:38:17.820><c> my</c><00:38:18.179><c> feet.</c>

00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:24.360
You<00:38:23.019><c> see</c><00:38:23.139><c> there's</c><00:38:23.500><c> faith</c><00:38:23.739><c> brethren</c><00:38:24.000><c> and</c><00:38:24.179><c> sisters.</c>

00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:28.039
And<00:38:24.480><c> you</c><00:38:24.599><c> know</c><00:38:24.760><c> that's</c><00:38:25.900><c> the</c><00:38:26.219><c> one</c><00:38:26.599><c> thing</c><00:38:26.980><c> in</c><00:38:27.179><c> the</c><00:38:27.360><c> life</c><00:38:27.579><c> of</c><00:38:27.840><c> Jacob.</c>

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:29.579
Apart<00:38:28.420><c> from</c><00:38:28.599><c> his</c><00:38:28.840><c> pilgrim</c><00:38:29.280><c> life.</c>

00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:34.639
That's<00:38:30.219><c> the</c><00:38:30.480><c> one</c><00:38:30.860><c> thing</c><00:38:31.519><c> that</c><00:38:32.360><c> makes</c><00:38:32.619><c> it</c><00:38:32.780><c> into</c><00:38:32.900><c> Hebrews</c><00:38:33.260><c> chapter</c><00:38:33.619><c> 11.</c>

00:38:34.980 --> 00:38:39.039
It<00:38:35.539><c> says</c><00:38:35.760><c> by</c><00:38:36.059><c> faith</c><00:38:36.539><c> Jacob</c><00:38:37.039><c> blessed</c><00:38:37.780><c> the</c><00:38:38.059><c> sons</c><00:38:38.280><c> of</c><00:38:38.559><c> Joseph.</c>

00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:41.300
Leaning<00:38:39.639><c> upon</c><00:38:40.000><c> his</c><00:38:40.420><c> bed.</c>

00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:43.460
And<00:38:42.199><c> that's</c><00:38:42.519><c> the</c><00:38:42.639><c> words</c><00:38:42.780><c> that</c><00:38:42.940><c> he</c><00:38:43.159><c> said.</c>

00:38:43.739 --> 00:38:46.360

00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:48.340
What<00:38:46.940><c> did</c><00:38:47.039><c> he</c><00:38:47.219><c> bless</c><00:38:47.380><c> them</c><00:38:47.559><c> with?</c>

00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:51.619
The<00:38:49.099><c> wish</c><00:38:49.380><c> that</c><00:38:49.559><c> the</c><00:38:49.880><c> same</c><00:38:50.239><c> angel</c><00:38:50.579><c> that</c><00:38:50.719><c> had</c><00:38:50.920><c> been</c><00:38:51.139><c> mighty</c><00:38:51.420><c> in</c>

his<00:38:51.920><c> life.</c>

00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:56.260

00:38:56.980 --> 00:38:58.099
Because<00:38:57.139><c> it</c><00:38:57.280><c> ends</c><00:38:57.480><c> up.</c>

00:38:58.380 --> 00:39:00.820

00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:13.380
And<00:39:11.920><c> so</c><00:39:12.079><c> Jacob</c><00:39:12.360><c> died.</c>

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:15.719

00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:17.460
Let's<00:39:16.039><c> take</c><00:39:16.199><c> some</c><00:39:16.420><c> lessons</c><00:39:16.840><c> from</c><00:39:17.199><c> that.</c>

my<00:39:20.059><c> life.</c>

00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:24.119
None<00:39:21.019><c> of</c><00:39:21.179><c> us</c><00:39:21.340><c> have</c><00:39:21.460><c> really</c><00:39:21.739><c> suffered</c><00:39:22.059><c> what</c><00:39:22.360><c> Jacob</c><00:39:22.719><c> has</c><00:39:22.960><c> been</c><00:39:23.239><c> through.</c>

00:39:24.179 --> 00:39:26.420
But<00:39:24.420><c> we</c><00:39:24.699><c> have</c><00:39:25.000><c> it</c><00:39:25.280><c> in</c><00:39:25.420><c> measure.</c>

00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:30.440
Brother<00:39:27.360><c> Roberts</c><00:39:27.699><c> makes</c><00:39:27.980><c> some</c><00:39:28.199><c> beautiful</c><00:39:28.679><c> comments</c><00:39:28.960><c> about</c><00:39:29.300><c> Jacob.</c>

00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:34.880
Trouble<00:39:33.119><c> is</c><00:39:33.300><c> often</c><00:39:33.519><c> a</c><00:39:33.719><c> preparation</c><00:39:34.179><c> for</c><00:39:34.460><c> good.</c>

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:36.500
Even<00:39:35.400><c> now.</c>

00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:38.280
God<00:39:37.000><c> may</c><00:39:37.239><c> be</c><00:39:37.420><c> at</c><00:39:37.539><c> work</c><00:39:37.719><c> in</c><00:39:37.860><c> our</c><00:39:38.099><c> affairs.</c>

00:39:38.380 --> 00:39:40.079
Not<00:39:38.500><c> only</c><00:39:38.639><c> when</c><00:39:38.760><c> there</c><00:39:38.880><c> is</c><00:39:39.059><c> no</c><00:39:39.320><c> trace</c><00:39:39.579><c> of</c><00:39:39.739><c> his</c><00:39:39.940><c> hand.</c>

00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:40.960
You<00:39:40.260><c> think</c><00:39:40.420><c> of</c><00:39:40.599><c> Jacob.</c>

00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:43.940
He<00:39:41.539><c> could</c><00:39:41.880><c> not</c><00:39:42.199><c> even</c><00:39:42.659><c> see</c><00:39:43.119><c> that</c><00:39:43.300><c> God</c><00:39:43.440><c> could</c><00:39:43.579><c> be</c><00:39:43.699><c> at</c><00:39:43.840><c> work.</c>

00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:45.219
And<00:39:44.079><c> all</c><00:39:44.219><c> these</c><00:39:44.480><c> terrible</c><00:39:44.840><c> things.</c>

00:39:45.579 --> 00:39:48.199
But<00:39:45.679><c> when</c><00:39:45.840><c> it</c><00:39:45.960><c> seems</c><00:39:46.139><c> impossible</c><00:39:46.739><c> he</c><00:39:46.820><c> can</c><00:39:46.960><c> be</c><00:39:47.119><c> at</c><00:39:47.280><c> work.</c>

00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:51.420
It<00:39:48.840><c> may</c><00:39:49.039><c> often</c><00:39:49.340><c> seem</c><00:39:49.579><c> that</c><00:39:49.739><c> God</c><00:39:49.940><c> is</c><00:39:50.099><c> not</c><00:39:50.280><c> only</c><00:39:50.619><c> not</c><00:39:51.099><c> working</c>

00:39:51.420 --> 00:39:51.960
with<00:39:51.739><c> us.</c>

00:39:51.980 --> 00:39:54.219
But<00:39:52.099><c> he</c><00:39:52.219><c> may</c><00:39:52.400><c> be</c><00:39:52.559><c> working</c><00:39:52.840><c> against</c><00:39:53.239><c> us.</c>

00:39:54.860 --> 00:39:56.920
And<00:39:55.340><c> I</c><00:39:55.500><c> would</c><00:39:55.719><c> guess</c><00:39:55.900><c> in</c><00:39:56.079><c> most</c><00:39:56.320><c> people's</c><00:39:56.739><c> life.</c>

00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.219
There's<00:39:57.159><c> a</c><00:39:57.380><c> stage</c><00:39:57.619><c> when</c><00:39:57.780><c> they</c><00:39:57.960><c> come</c><00:39:58.179><c> to.</c>

00:39:59.699 --> 00:40:01.340
Like<00:39:59.840><c> Job's</c><00:40:00.320><c> wife.</c>

00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:03.079
Curse<00:40:01.679><c> God</c><00:40:01.960><c> and</c><00:40:02.219><c> die.</c>

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:05.420

00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:12.619
Sometimes<00:40:09.599><c> he</c><00:40:09.760><c> even</c><00:40:09.980><c> seems</c><00:40:10.260><c> to</c><00:40:10.420><c> be</c><00:40:10.559><c> working</c><00:40:10.900><c> against</c><00:40:11.420><c> us.</c>

00:40:14.099 --> 00:40:15.880

00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:31.920

00:40:32.099 --> 00:40:36.059

00:40:38.460 --> 00:40:39.659
But<00:40:39.059><c> remember.</c>

00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:42.380
Blessedness<00:40:40.500><c> might</c><00:40:40.739><c> be</c><00:40:41.019><c> just</c><00:40:41.440><c> around</c><00:40:41.900><c> the</c><00:40:42.159><c> corner.</c>

00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:46.019

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:49.280
Good.

00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.619
The<00:40:50.320><c> divine</c><00:40:50.679><c> regulation</c><00:40:51.199><c> of</c><00:40:51.300><c> this</c><00:40:51.500><c> may</c><00:40:51.800><c> and</c><00:40:51.900><c> does</c><00:40:52.119><c> permit</c><00:40:52.340><c> the</c>

00:41:09.460 --> 00:41:11.719

00:41:15.780 --> 00:41:18.019

If<00:44:42.460><c> we</c><00:44:42.659><c> dedicate</c><00:44:43.079><c> ourselves</c><00:44:43.559><c> to</c><00:44:43.780><c> doing</c><00:44:43.960><c> what</c><00:44:44.199><c> God</c><00:44:44.440><c> wants</c><00:44:44.800><c> to</c>

00:44:49.539 --> 00:44:51.159

00:44:59.019 --> 00:45:00.719
Remember<00:44:59.280><c> the</c><00:44:59.539><c> friends</c><00:44:59.699><c> of</c><00:44:59.900><c> Daniel?</c>

When<00:45:01.699><c> they</c><00:45:01.860><c> were</c><00:45:02.079><c> threatened</c><00:45:02.260><c> with</c><00:45:02.480><c> the</c><00:45:02.659><c> fiery</c><00:45:02.860><c> furnace</c><00:45:03.260><c> they</c><00:45:03.500><c> said,</c>

Look,<00:45:06.480><c> our</c><00:45:06.599><c> God</c><00:45:06.980><c> whom</c><00:45:07.219><c> we</c><00:45:07.559><c> serve</c><00:45:07.780><c> is</c><00:45:08.139><c> able</c><00:45:08.500><c> to</c><00:45:08.739><c> deliver</c><00:45:08.920><c> us.</c>

00:45:18.659 --> 00:45:20.480
You<00:45:18.739><c> see</c><00:45:18.820><c> they</c><00:45:18.900><c> had</c><00:45:19.000><c> a</c><00:45:19.199><c> correct</c><00:45:19.340><c> understanding</c><00:45:19.760><c> of</c><00:45:20.039><c> providence.</c>

00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:27.539
But<00:45:24.880><c> we're</c><00:45:25.079><c> not</c><00:45:25.260><c> going</c><00:45:25.400><c> to</c><00:45:25.539><c> make</c><00:45:25.960><c> God</c><00:45:26.360><c> do</c><00:45:26.519><c> what</c><00:45:26.679><c> we</c><00:45:26.900><c> want</c><00:45:27.099><c> to</c><00:45:27.260><c> do.</c>

00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:29.059

He<00:46:56.179><c> wants</c><00:46:56.440><c> us</c><00:46:56.679><c> to</c><00:46:56.860><c> raise</c><00:46:57.039><c> God's</c><00:46:57.480><c> heritage.</c>

00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:02.559
He<00:46:58.480><c> will</c><00:46:59.579><c> direct</c><00:47:00.460><c> our</c><00:47:00.820><c> paths</c><00:47:01.119><c> if</c><00:47:01.300><c> we</c><00:47:01.460><c> set</c><00:47:01.579><c> our</c><00:47:01.840><c> hearts</c><00:47:02.159><c> to</c><00:47:02.380><c> do</c>

00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:03.079
those<00:47:02.800><c> things.</c>

00:47:03.380 --> 00:47:06.079
But<00:47:03.559><c> we</c><00:47:03.860><c> have</c><00:47:04.079><c> to</c><00:47:04.260><c> take</c><00:47:04.599><c> some</c><00:47:04.860><c> action.</c>

00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:10.960
Father<00:47:09.039><c> Roberts</c><00:47:09.340><c> again</c><00:47:09.699><c> though</c><00:47:09.920><c> God</c><00:47:10.159><c> is</c><00:47:10.300><c> with</c><00:47:10.440><c> his</c><00:47:10.659><c> children.</c>

00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:14.420
He<00:47:11.099><c> looks</c><00:47:11.340><c> to</c><00:47:11.619><c> them</c><00:47:11.800><c> to</c><00:47:12.079><c> arrange</c><00:47:12.519><c> their</c><00:47:12.820><c> affairs</c><00:47:13.139><c> with</c><00:47:13.400><c> discretion.</c>

00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:17.460
As<00:47:15.119><c> testified</c><00:47:15.579><c> in</c><00:47:15.739><c> all</c><00:47:15.900><c> the</c><00:47:16.099><c> Proverbs</c><00:47:16.280><c> of</c><00:47:16.519><c> Solomon.</c>

00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:20.739
Human<00:47:17.820><c> action</c><00:47:18.159><c> is</c><00:47:18.360><c> the</c><00:47:18.519><c> basis</c><00:47:18.820><c> for</c><00:47:19.159><c> divine</c><00:47:19.639><c> supervision.</c>

00:47:21.019 --> 00:47:23.260
We<00:47:21.239><c> can't</c><00:47:21.579><c> just</c><00:47:21.800><c> sit</c><00:47:21.980><c> around</c><00:47:22.280><c> and</c><00:47:22.460><c> say</c><00:47:22.579><c> well</c><00:47:22.760><c> come</c><00:47:22.900><c> on</c><00:47:23.099><c> angels</c>

00:47:23.260 --> 00:47:24.559
do<00:47:23.539><c> something</c><00:47:23.880><c> for</c><00:47:24.179><c> me.</c>

00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:28.440
We've<00:47:25.440><c> got</c><00:47:25.579><c> to</c><00:47:25.739><c> take</c><00:47:26.000><c> some</c><00:47:26.179><c> action</c><00:47:26.460><c> so</c><00:47:26.679><c> that</c><00:47:26.860><c> God</c><00:47:27.300><c> and</c><00:47:27.780><c> his</c><00:47:27.980><c> angels</c><00:47:28.219><c> can</c>

00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:29.039
work<00:47:28.619><c> with</c><00:47:28.840><c> us.</c>

00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:32.139
In<00:47:29.159><c> the</c><00:47:29.420><c> absence</c><00:47:29.699><c> of</c><00:47:29.960><c> human</c><00:47:30.119><c> action</c><00:47:30.639><c> there</c><00:47:31.380><c> is</c><00:47:31.599><c> nothing</c><00:47:31.920><c> for</c>

00:47:32.139 --> 00:47:34.940
the<00:47:32.400><c> angels</c><00:47:32.699><c> to</c><00:47:33.199><c> work</c><00:47:33.440><c> on.</c>

00:47:35.019 --> 00:47:38.179
So<00:47:35.139><c> brethren</c><00:47:35.320><c> and</c><00:47:35.539><c> sisters</c><00:47:35.780><c> let</c><00:47:35.980><c> us</c><00:47:37.019><c> take</c><00:47:37.440><c> the</c><00:47:37.679><c> advice</c><00:47:37.980><c> that</c>

00:47:38.179 --> 00:47:39.599
Brother<00:47:38.320><c> Roberts</c><00:47:38.599><c> gives</c><00:47:38.880><c> us.</c>

00:47:39.739 --> 00:47:42.500
Once<00:47:39.940><c> again</c><00:47:40.380><c> in</c><00:47:40.840><c> the</c><00:47:40.980><c> ways</c><00:47:41.179><c> of</c><00:47:41.440><c> providence.</c>

00:47:42.659 --> 00:47:43.579
Concerning<00:47:43.179><c> Jacob.</c>

00:47:43.739 --> 00:47:46.260
Jacob<00:47:44.079><c> illustrates</c><00:47:44.639><c> plainly</c><00:47:45.219><c> the</c><00:47:45.380><c> angelic</c><00:47:45.739><c> nature</c><00:47:45.940><c> of</c><00:47:46.139><c> what</c>

00:47:46.260 --> 00:47:47.860
we<00:47:46.480><c> call</c><00:47:46.639><c> providence.</c>

00:47:47.940 --> 00:47:50.079
Giving<00:47:48.159><c> affairs</c><00:47:48.539><c> and</c><00:47:48.820><c> intelligent</c><00:47:49.179><c> bent</c><00:47:49.420><c> this</c><00:47:49.699><c> way</c><00:47:49.820><c> or</c><00:47:49.960><c> that</c>

00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:51.900
without<00:47:50.440><c> showing</c><00:47:50.760><c> their</c><00:47:51.039><c> hand.</c>

00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.159
Where<00:47:52.639><c> angels</c><00:47:52.960><c> do</c><00:47:53.139><c> not</c><00:47:53.300><c> operate</c><00:47:53.619><c> providence</c><00:47:54.039><c> is</c><00:47:54.199><c> not</c><00:47:54.300><c> at</c><00:47:54.519><c> work.</c>

00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:59.820
Not<00:47:55.699><c> everything</c><00:47:56.019><c> that</c><00:47:56.280><c> happens</c><00:47:56.480><c> in</c><00:47:56.699><c> life</c><00:47:57.199><c> is</c><00:47:58.880><c> angelic</c><00:47:59.340><c> interference.</c>

00:47:59.940 --> 00:48:01.059
There<00:48:00.039><c> is</c><00:48:00.280><c> a</c><00:48:00.440><c> course</c><00:48:00.619><c> of</c><00:48:00.840><c> nature.</c>

00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:01.940
There<00:48:01.239><c> is</c><00:48:01.539><c> chance.</c>

00:48:02.219 --> 00:48:03.679
There<00:48:02.340><c> is</c><00:48:02.639><c> coincidence.</c>

00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:06.599
But<00:48:04.139><c> the</c><00:48:04.320><c> angels</c><00:48:04.519><c> can</c><00:48:05.000><c> steer</c><00:48:05.159><c> those</c><00:48:05.480><c> things</c><00:48:05.739><c> when</c><00:48:05.980><c> God's</c><00:48:06.400><c> plan</c>

00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:08.380
requires<00:48:07.139><c> it.</c>

00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:11.500
Angelic<00:48:08.880><c> operations</c><00:48:09.300><c> in</c><00:48:09.539><c> ordinary</c><00:48:09.699><c> life</c><00:48:09.940><c> are</c><00:48:10.179><c> not</c><00:48:10.460><c> distinguishable</c><00:48:11.099><c> from</c><00:48:11.280><c> the</c>

00:48:11.500 --> 00:48:12.079
effect<00:48:11.679><c> of</c><00:48:11.860><c> nature.</c>

00:48:12.139 --> 00:48:14.260
The<00:48:12.300><c> results</c><00:48:12.599><c> being</c><00:48:13.119><c> natural.</c>

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:17.539
Our<00:48:15.239><c> part</c><00:48:15.480><c> is</c><00:48:15.699><c> to</c><00:48:15.900><c> fear</c><00:48:16.119><c> God</c><00:48:16.380><c> and</c><00:48:16.599><c> keep</c><00:48:16.820><c> the</c><00:48:17.099><c> commandments.</c>

00:48:17.539 --> 00:48:21.179
And<00:48:18.179><c> go</c><00:48:18.500><c> forth</c><00:48:18.860><c> with</c><00:48:19.179><c> courage</c><00:48:19.539><c> and</c><00:48:19.900><c> trust.</c>

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:27.619
Believing<00:48:22.800><c> the</c><00:48:23.079><c> assurance</c><00:48:23.659><c> that</c><00:48:25.000><c> all</c><00:48:25.360><c> things</c><00:48:26.219><c> work</c><00:48:27.219><c> together</c>

00:48:27.619 --> 00:48:31.119
for<00:48:27.900><c> good</c><00:48:28.079><c> for</c><00:48:28.300><c> those</c><00:48:29.000><c> who</c><00:48:29.619><c> love</c><00:48:29.820><c> God.</c>

00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:37.860
Brethren<00:48:32.079><c> and</c><00:48:32.360><c> sisters</c><00:48:32.519><c> when</c><00:48:33.000><c> we</c><00:48:33.380><c> do</c><00:48:33.619><c> that</c><00:48:34.219><c> the</c><00:48:35.139><c> angels</c><00:48:35.739><c> rejoice</c><00:48:36.659><c> in</c><00:48:37.039><c> heaven.</c>
