and according to the fervency of the clapping of your hands would you plop your hands today as if you were receiving what you wanted to see from god today i just feel the lord you may be seated when the fear comes or after after the fear comes i would like for you to repeat my title with me today it's four words after the fear comes would you would you repeat it with me today after the theater after the fear bible talks about a man by the name of jehoshaphat he's ruling in his kingdom he had a great revival he had had a great restructuring he had a great time of cleansing setting things in order and after he had got his house set in order the nation of israel said in order the bible said in after this and after this these moabites ammonites a group of people that didn't even bear a name became a confederacy against him they came against jehoshaphat and against israel with one goal in mind drive them out of the promised land drive them out disinherit then take their houses take their lands take their wells take their children take their wives drive them out of the promised land it was a tremendous multitude that came against jehoshaphat and the bible said when they came and shared with jehoshaphat the danger that was all the way the danger the marching of these three mighty nations moabites the ammonites those from mount sierra a multitude of soldiers marching with the intent to drive israel from their promised land the bible said when they came and shared that with jehoshaphat verse three simply starts out by saying and jehoshaphat feared too many times we believe that fear is something that if we ever have were not right with god that's far from the truth god placed within our emotions a fear factor fear is meant to drive us to the one in whose presence praise god there is no fear it is not god's will for us to worry and fred notice i didn't say it's not god's will for us to fear god gave us that healthy emotion called fear and again to drive us to the one in whose presence there is no fear bible said in joseph that fear doesn't mean he's back slidden doesn't mean he's cold on god means he's normal means he's absolutely normal just like us things happening around us amen we've never witnessed before i mean i'm having i'm having people way older than me saying pastor i've never seen anything i've never seen anything like this in my life it's not sin for us to have a note of fear but it's what we do next after the fear comes because the bible says in psalms 56 verse number three look at this verse psalms 56 verse number three what time i am afraid what time i am afraid let's let's read it all together let's read it as a congregation i believe god i want to speak some faith into this house today i know that we are layered with a blanket of gloom and doom all week long with uncertainty but i've come to the house of our god this morning and i'm going to preach some faith into our hearts before we leave here in just a few moments let's all read it together out loud what time i am afraid i will trust in thee in god i will praise his work keep on reading now in god i will praise his word in god have i put my trust i will not fear what flesh can do unto me o friend i'm preaching today on when the fear comes it's nothing that's we're not backslidden when i called on god because we've got a note of fear that has rung within our heart the last week but now on a sunday morning it's what i'm going to do with the fear that's going to be a game-changer what i'm going to do with this fear david said what time that i fear i will trust in thee jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the lord and proclaimed a fast throughout all judah you see after the fear comes i've got to get set after the fear comes i have to plant my feet upon the faith of god in his word after the fear comes not a sin that i fear not a sin that i've had fear because of the moabites ammonites and mount seir not if not a sin that i'm listening to the news and i'm saying mighty god help us what's going on it's not a sin that we feel that way but now after the fear let's take our two feet of faith and let's plant them in the solid ground of the almighty god he said himself to the lord he sets himself to seek the lord and proclaimed a fast throughout all judah to seek the lord to seek god's face to seek god to seek his face there's a lot of people seeking answers i've come to tell you today we'll never get the answer until we see the one who has the answer we've got to seek after the one that has the answer hosea chapter 10 and verse number 12 says this so to yourselves in righteousness reap in mercy break up your fallow ground for it is time to see the lord till he come and reign righteousness upon you can i tell you that this world is not our permanent residence can i tell you if what's shaking us today is because we get too comfortable down here on this earth and when things begin to threaten our comfort level we begin to get uneasy with things when grocery stores are becoming empty on the shelves when doctors are not answering it and when lines are too long and they're just simply saying we don't have this and we don't have that it's not a time to go into deep despair church first epistatic today your pastors come to tell you it's time to seek the lord's it's time to seek the lord nothing's too hard for the lord i was young and now i'm old and i've never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread what are you gonna do after the fear comes i'll tell you what i'm gonna do i'm gonna plant my feet and i'm going to seek after the lord well give him some praise in the house today i'm going to seek after the lord i want to recommend to the church i want to wreck them into the church that this following week there'll be some days that you push back a plate i want to recommend to the church pastors going to be doing it that there be some days this week that we scheduled there'll be no lunch today there'll be no dinner today there'll be no breakfast today because we've got to seek the lord and we got a fast and you know my heart goes out today my heart goes out today i'm not necessarily fasting because of what's going on in our church but i'm fasting for the philippines where the people have much much less than what we have here today i'm fasting because there is a world that is in turmoil right now world leaders one after another coming down with this and we have never at least in my fifty nine and a half years on this earth never witnessed such that is spreading across but may we seek the lord because if winston churchill was the savior of london when the germans were bombing nightly that short stubby man grabbed a microphone and he began to preach faith into the hearts of those in the united kingdom he began to tell them we'll fight them in the streets we'll fight them on the beaches we'll fight them and it will go down in history as england's finest hour i come this sunday morning to grab a microphone in a world filled with chaos and say we'll pray when the virus comes we'll pray when the pest we'll pray in the midst of the disease and when heaven records this howler it will be recorded as the church's finest hour i wish the lover of god would begin to worship and magnify him this one verse 5 and jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of judah and jerusalem in the house of the lord before the new court can i tell you today that i'm glad we got a place to stand when the trouble comes i'm not only have a place of faith in my heart to stand but i've got a house that we built we built this house here in a good day we built this house here in a good time but you must understand our blood sweat and tears and given that we did during a good time was all designed for this time i'm glad i got our house of the lord that i can come to on this sunday morning i'm glad i've got a place that knows no news media cannot in fact yes in fact us and affect us i'm glad today that we have a place that whether it's true whether it's not because there's great distrust today that we are living in a world we don't know what to believe on this channel we don't know what to believe on that channel we don't know what to believe in this party we don't know what to believe in that party but praise god no this will have to excuse me today until i get this out of my system i've come to preach faith into your heart today i could have i could have chosen i could have chosen there's men sitting all over this place that could have brought the word of god this morning but i chose i have chosen to come to this place in this hour to me a spear so winston churchill and to tell the saints of the first apostolic church to tell the hundreds of viewers that god we have a place to stand when the moabites and the ammonites and the enemy are coming praise god we've got a house of god the standee oh we got a song to sing we got a testimony to give but we got a praise report we got a magnify the lord that's what we don't do do you bear with you pastor today all right but i'm glad you haase pat said joseph that stood in the congregation of judah and jerusalem in the house of the lord before the new court you know why there was a new court there because jehoshaphat built it but he built it in a good day but the things we build in a good day are also designed for a bad day and we're in a bad day right now but i purposed to set myself in the place that i built on a good day can i tell you about the house of god this morning deuteronomy chapter 4 and verse number 28 29 somebody said you preached a lot about israel you better believe i preached a lot about israel because while israel had in the natural the church has in the spiritual me said again what israel had in the natural that's why we believe in the old testament what god did for insulin in the natural where god does for us in the spiritual still when we read about natural israel we can flip over and say well we don't live in the middle east but it's talking about a spiritual land listen to deuteronomy 4:29 but if from finis thou shalt see the lord thy god thou shalt find him if thou seek him we have all done heart and with all thy soul when thou art in tribulation i don't know about you but kind of relates to that today right when thou art in tribulation and all these things are come upon thee even in the latter days if thou turn to the lord thy god and shalt be obedient to his voice for the lord thy god is a merciful god he will not forsake thee nor it neither destroy thee nor forget nor forgive the covenant my father's which he sware unto things in other words he's saying if you will seek me in the tribulation i'm going to keep my word i'm going to be with you psalms 22 verse number one thank god for the house of god thank god for the house of god psalms 23 and 22 verse 1 i was glad again i want to read it together with you i was glad when they verse 2 our feet shall stand within thy gates o jerusalem a friend can i tell you i'm glad that i've got a place today i'm glad that i've got the house of god today i'm glad that i've got a place that i can come and that i can stand in the gates of the house of god why is that today because of kovan 19 kovat 19 let me say something about koban 19 first john 4 and for ye are of god little children and have overcome them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world and that goes for kovac 19 god is greater than this virus don't you ever forget it don't you ever forget it god is greater than that's not us don't you ever forget it i don't care how empty the shells are at walmart i don't care how backed up your doctor is don't you ever forget it child of god god is greater you're gonna have to pardon me for a moment because i've done preached myself into a state of i will the army's cover i know the virus is out there it's not the part of me this morning i felt a spiritual responsibility to telling to the church that people call me their pastor and tell you today flat footed god is greater than that virus god is greater covin 19 that's what you're called covin 19 well i want to break you down kovach 19 see the letter c it's the first letter in the name of your body in the name of this kovin 19 i want to break it down see christ o-over these viruses i infectious diseases so when you see coming you just think of christ over in fact you us disease it so that's pretty good but what you doing 90 well i go to joshua chapter 1 verse number 9 that's not teeth have not i commanded thee be strong and of good courage be not afraid neither be dismayed for the lord thy god is with thee whithersoever thou goest oh priam today god is great then kill the 19 price god don't you feel a shift in the atmosphere don't you see what shift in the atmosphere help me praising help me friend help me praise 2nd chronicles 20 verse 6 jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of judah jerusalem the house of a new court before to the house of the lord before the new court and said o lord god of our fathers are not about god in heaven and rulers thou andrew us not thou over the kingdoms of the heathen christianly and in thy hand is there not power and might so that none is able to withstand the question mark i want to tell you what josh that's doing he's not questioning god he is doing something to build his faith he's remembering what god has done for him in the times of koban 19 we need to rehearse and go back on the miracles that god has done in our lives he's not doubting god when he says in verse 6 o lord god of our fathers art thou not god in heaven he's not doubting god he's reminding himself that god is greater than the moabites ammonites and mount seir and i'm preaching this today to remind the church i don't care what fox cnn msa all the other news agencies are saying our god is greater than the don't ever healed you god ever answered your prayers does any of y'all have some things that got it's done that you know only god can do this kovac martini here's a time for you to begin to rehearse it won't ever heal jump god never answered your prayer you prayed lord god our fathers are doubt not god in heaven i'm not questioning you i'm reminding myself and realist i'll nod over all the kingdoms of the hidden i'm not questioning you god you rule over them ammonites moabites an lca and in thine hand is there not power in might my question you god so that none so that none so that none is able to withstand they so that none are not thou verse seven are not thou our god is it not personal easy not personal with us today is he not our god who did drive out the inhabitants of the land before thy people israel and gave us it to the seed of abraham thy friend forever now listen to this now instead of this peace i give you not as the world gives but as i give you for the world didn't get it to you and the world cannot take it away the world didn't give us his peace and nothing that's in the world can take our peace because what israel had in the we have in the spiritual listen to this deuteronomy chapter 11 verse number 10 fogell and that's what the moabites ammonites in mount seir was going to drive into or out of that's what they came to get the land for the land whether they'll go us in to possess it it's not a land is not as the land of egypt i'm glad that's what's in the church is not what is in the world and what is in the world is not in the church he said israel the land that i'm going to give you is not life asia from whence you came out where thou sawest i seed and water spit with my foot as the garden of urgell again what that means egypt you had to bring the water to the plants you had to water it with your feet they would dig ditches and if you wanted water to get to your garden you had to get in the ditch and do your feet like this to get water to come to your gardens it was a hard arduous job to get water into your gardens but so it is with the world that's why i'm glad i'm not in this world i'm glad by the way of the new birth i'm in another world and another kingdom he said where i brought you was not like the land of egypt where you had the water with your feet but the land verse number 11 but the land whether you go to possess it it is a land of hills and valleys and drink of water of the rain of heaven in each if you had it hard you had to you had to water you had to shuffle your way to get water to come to your plants but not in the church the church has arraigned the church as a system of rain that cometh down from god verse 12 a land which the lord thy god care afford what israel had in the natural we have in the spiritual israel had a land we have a god that cares we have a god that cares for us a land which the lord thy god cared for it hold on them the eyes of the lord thy god are always not most of the time are always not sometimes are always upon it from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year can i tell you that the eye of the lord is not only on his people when were in bad times it's on his people when we are in good times that's why today i stand boldly against the spirit of fear that wants to paralyze the church of the living god in this hour because number one we have a god who's looking out over us matthew chapter 10 verse number 28 jesus said fear not them which kill the body sound like that virus to me fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him which is able to kill both soul and body in hell are not two sparrows sold for a farthing and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your father but the very hairs of your head are all numbered fear ye not therefore ye are of more value than sparrows whosoever therefore shall confess me before men him will i confess also before my father which is in heaven i've come today to try to preach faith too hard as i can that in this hour that we're in don't you forget who you are and don't you forget whose eye is upon you don't you forget from the time that you wake up no let me rephrase that while you lay in your bed and you slip without an awareness of what was going on around you there was a god that upon you when you've got up this morning there was a god that had his eye upon you as you go about the day there is a god that has his eyes upon you church if we serve a god that notices a sparrow bird that it falls to the ground and we serve a god that knows how many hairs on our head are we not much more about you than the birds of all rejoice rejoice church today the eye of god not our god go back to verse 7 i thought not our god who did drive out inhabitants of this land before thy people israel and gave us near to the seat of abraham thy friend forever and they dwell therein and have built be a sanctuary therein for thy name saying so we built you this house god and we built it for your name saying if when evil cometh if when evil coming upon us as the sword judgment pestilence paestum shelter or pestilence means their diseases diseases diseases if when pestilence family we stand before this house and in thy presence for thy name is in this house oh jesus and cry unto thee in our fletcher then what about here notice what they're doing they're try you would hear you help and now behold the children of ammon and moab and mount seir whom thou wouldest not let israel invade when thou came out of the land of egypt but they have turned from from but they turn from them destroy them not behold i say how they reward us to come to cast us out of my possession which thou has given us to inherit o our god wilt thou not judge them for we have no knife against this great company that come up against us we have no cure we have no chair we have no mind against this great company that come up against us neither knoweth we've what to do but now start reading with me all together and if i preach the little faith in you put it with a little spunk behind you but it's heading in but our eyes are upon thee when i don't have a cure and i don't have the strength to fight these three nations the only thing i've got is i'm gonna be looking after god who is looking at me what are you going to preach to the churches sunday morning brother carpenter i'm gonna preach the only chair we've got get your eyes on the lord what are you gonna preach to us today what are you gonna tell your congregation i'm gonna walk out there flat-footed and preach to them it's time to get our eyes on the lord we don't know what to do and all judah stood before the lord with their little ones their wives and their children can i tell you this is a family affair we got all of our wives and our children and we're gathered today it's time fathers just as your pastor has walked earring as the spiritual under shepherd of this church i have walked to this pulpit this morning in a role of spiritual leadership to tell this church that after the fear then comes the standing after the fear then comes the pray after the fear then comes the fasting if i your spiritual leader have walked to this pulpit today i need every man in this church full of the holy ghost i need you to speak faith into your family when your wife says to you who is the weaker vessel tell me what you think is gonna happen i want you to echo what your spiritual leader preached today i want you to begin to mimic and echo i want you to begin to say god is greater then kovin ting i want you to begin to say dada hi honey when we got up this morning and you press the kids to church and we drove to the house of god and walked across the parking lot there was a dog that looked down upon us it's a family it's a family affair verse 14 then cometh then upon jahaziel the son of zechariah the son of been ania the son of dl the son of meta taya a levite of the sons of a seven came the spirit of the lord in the midst of the congregation can i tell you we're not going to gather together somebody's gonna have a spirit god come on the spirit of god came upon this young man and he said hard to me that means listen listen all judah and inhabitants of jerusalem and thou king jehoshaphat thus saith the lord unto you be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude what's the difference between afraid and dismayed dismayed is to have a breakdown dismayed is to let fear run rampant without faith no sin to have fear but fear means to lead us to faith fear does not need to breathe being afraid because afraid leads to be dismayed and this main means to have a breakdown you need to fall apart you need to have a breakdown just you're going to fall apart you begin to tremble you begin to shake give me give us a whole time but babies got a fever oh lord i've got a little sniffles oh god i'm telling you it's at that time if we don't take our fear mix it with faith that become afraid and we'll have a breakdown but god said god said somebody said god said god said be not afraid nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude are my reason of koban nineteen for the battle is not yours but gods oh did you hear what he said did you read what he said in the midst of kovac 19 he said it's not your battle it's my battle for the battle no she'd stay with me for the battle it's not yours but god i said good said again tomorrow yo you down against them behold they come up by the cliffs of z z you shall find them at the end of the brook before the wilderness ul you shall not need fight in this battle set yourselves stand you still see the salvation of the lord with you hello judah and jerusalem fear not nor be dismayed tomorrow go out against them for the lord is with you jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground and all of judah and the inhabitants of jerusalem fell before the lord worshiping the lord i'm gonna tell you something there has got to be a response to this message i'm not asking you to do it for me you got to do it for your own self because without a response is no victory you can't have a whole humm attitude about what you've heard for the last 40 minutes you can't have a cross your arms let's see attitude its bible it's solid it's solid rock you've got to have a response to it because god has done raised up and jaql that has said you listen to your pastor today for the battle is not ours but the battle is the lord's and i am with you it is said that worship him come on kid we worship y'all right now can we say thank you god for the healing can we say thank you god for the protection can we say thank you god for your hand upon us god yes come on thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you take your praise your glory hallelujah mighty god i love you i praise you i glorified i magnify your word is true it's never lied it's real you're here i praise you i magnify you mister would you stay with me a few more moments verse 9 18 jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground all judah and inhabitants of jerusalem failed before the lord worshiping the lord and the levites and the children of the kohathites and the children of chorus stood up to praise the lord god of israel with a loud voice on high pastures give it his all today can i just tell you today i can preach faith but i can't leave a one for you to receive them i tried but i can't preach it and go out there and receive it - only you can receive it he preached it but now the people receded and two tribes begin to praise god that the lord was with him see i'm believing god today you can just say pastor you're way out there i would rather prophesy or believe a positive thing and then to believe a negative thing but i'm asking god to things that no one under the cloud of this building receives that virus and that we become a conduit to those that have receded to be healed for if they have no cure and one of you pray for them in jesus name and they're healed they just may look over the way we dress and how we believe there's only one god and say you know what i don't understand a lot of things about them crazy apostolic people but i know i had the virus and i know one of them lays hands on me and i know that i want field i got a bible study i was baptized in jesus name and i received the gift of the holy ghost but i need somebody to praise him for it today i can't preach it and receive it at the same time i need somebody to praise me for what's been preached i need somebody i'm crazy to worship him to magnify those of you watching money online you need to be worshiping right there in your living room magna carta here the virus is not coming to my house i'm not gonna believe it in my family i'm gonna be a pundit for healing that's it that's it that's it you catch on real quick around here you catch on real quick around here now you catch on real quick i need you to hold that note i need you to hold that note of praise won't you be seated for a morning verse 20 and they rose early give me a little more monitor please and they rose early in the morning and went forth into the wilderness of takeo and as they went forth jehoshaphat stood and said hear me o gia and the inhabitants of jerusalem believe in the lord your god so shall ye be established believe his prophets so shall you prosper two things hear the word told them there was only one god but a prophet was used to come up innocent in a day of the virus in a day in a day a battle and the prophet would come and say things that they didn't understand that they had to have faith in god the prophet said things like go borrow vessels when you borrow all the vessels you can take that loom few ounces of oil and fill up the vessels and the oil will begin to to multiply because profits always come along in times and profits were giving directions such as you have leprosy go wash in the jordan river seven times prophets came along in times of trouble and the advice they would give took faith in god to obey he said i know you're one god believers you're established as israel but if you want a prosper you got to learn how to believe the prophets if you want to prosper you got to learn how to believe that prophet that steps out and says wash seven times you got to believe the prophet that comes out and says cut down the tree and throw it in the water and now he says you want a prophet you want to prosper verse 21 and when he had consulted with the people he appointed singers unto the lord that should praise the beauty of holiness and they went forth they went out before the army and the say praise the lord for his mercy endureth forever you see get a mindset today well i'm here to tell you that's craziest thing i've said we just need to cancel church altogether why we just we don't even need i'm not even going to come to church amma will you just go ahead you can do that you don't come to church when there's not a virus i understand that oh help me just say sweet jesus i understand all that well i'm just continuing we just don't understand all that you just said right there on your establish do nothing but i think there's a few hundred people here this morning it wants to listen to a prophetic word of what we're supposed to be doing in the midst of tobit nineteen he turned around - hey everybody i wanna we gotta get you ready oh well jos back finally wised up he finally wised up we gonna break out the swords he's gonna break out the slingshots he's gonna break vacant break out the bow and arrows he's finally wised up and jehoshaphat coming stood to him and he said did you song look out get your song look out get your praise on i know he's done lost use they have a loving living mind up there get your praise on he said here's how we're going out to fight the enemy we're gonna go out sage praise the lord praise god for his holiness is beautiful praise god for his mercy endures forever praise god there's no time like i've gone he's the alpha and the omega he's the beginning in the evening he's the great i am he's the 4th man in the furnace he can split a red sea he can rain down bread from heaven he's the awesome god he's the mahdi you're crazy yes i am but i am victoriously crazy i am victoriously crazy hold the note bc he appointed singers which should praise the beauty of holiness and as they went out before the army and to say praise the lord for his mercy endures forever and when they began to sing and to praise and when they begin it didn't happen before and it didn't happen after it happened when they begin when they begin to sing and to praise the lord set and bushman's god had an ambush ready for the lord set ambushment against the children ammon and moab and mount seir which were come against judah and they were spitting for the children of ammon and moab stood up against inhabitants of mount cieariy utterly to slay and destroy them and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of mount seir everyone helped destroy another here it is these three armies come together they're unified but when they come up over the hill they're ready for israel to have bow and arrows and throwing rocks and they see a much israelites out there praise the lord gives holiness into a forever praise the lord praise them what are they doing that singer and so the moabites god with the ammonites and they said hey we thought we're gonna have to have the people of mount seir to help us with these israelites but it's obvious we don't need them they're a bunch of religious fanatics a tyson said but if we go into battle said we're gonna have to cut it three ways said let's go ahead and knock off the mount seir tribe and when we knock them off it's 50/50 brother and so the moabites and ammonites turned against the mount seir and they started fighting you see the picture hell starts to fight itself hell is going to implode from within israel's praise of god and magnified of god and the end of the
