this
75
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:10,950

87
00:08:45,589 --> 00:08:52,110

00:08:52,110 --> 00:08:58,199
pray to me and I will listen to you

91
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,650
the reading of the words of the Lord by

the hand of Jeremiah began to transform
93
00:09:20,110 --> 00:09:25,570
our people we began to build and plant
94
00:09:25,570 --> 00:09:27,970

camp once again and our numbers began to
98
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:42,860
increase
99
00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:53,490
[Music]
100
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,910
we began making peace with our captors

00:09:56,910 --> 00:09:58,870
horses
102
00:09:58,870 --> 00:10:03,580
[Music]
103
00:10:03,580 --> 00:10:06,240
and even prayed for the city of Babylon
104
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,370

105
00:10:09,370 --> 00:10:14,900

106
00:10:14,910 --> 00:10:24,660

108
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:41,950
[Music]
109
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,470
and when the time was fulfilled we
110
00:10:45,470 --> 00:10:47,300
returned back to Jerusalem
111
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:50,930
we returned in great numbers with great
112
00:10:50,930 --> 00:11:03,620
increase and with hope and a future
113
00:11:03,630 --> 00:11:05,540
I will be found by you
114
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:06,670

00:11:06,670 --> 00:11:09,100
and we'll bring you back from captivity
116
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,890
I will gather you from all the nations
117
00:11:11,890 --> 00:11:13,990
and places where I have banished you and
118
00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:16,570
will bring you back to the place from
119
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:19,570
which I carried you into exile
120
00:11:19,570 --> 00:11:40,500
[Music]
121
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:50,020
[Applause]
122
00:11:50,030 --> 00:12:07,740
[Music]
123
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:10,600
one thing I found is that God has a way
124
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,910
of providing for our needs so that we
125
00:12:12,910 --> 00:12:15,460
can have hope in the future even if we
126
00:12:15,460 --> 00:12:17,320
have to start completely over with
127
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,670
nothing Jeremiah 29:11 says the plans I
128
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:24,040
have for you declares the Lord are not
129
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,410
to harm you but give you hope in a
130
00:12:26,410 --> 00:12:27,040
future
131
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,160
God gave us a simple design to follow so
132
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,500
that we can live in his economy whether
133
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,290
our circumstances are good or bad first
134
00:12:35,290 --> 00:12:37,300
were to build homes and settle down I
135
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:39,250
think this means to accept our
136
00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:41,800
circumstances and to start with a place
137
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,770
to live it's a base where we can live
138
00:12:44,770 --> 00:12:47,070
and begin to build and improve our lives
139
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:49,930
second were to plant gardens and eat
140
00:12:49,930 --> 00:12:52,780
from our own gardens this means to have
141
00:12:52,780 --> 00:12:55,300
a source of income that we can take care
142
00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:57,550
of our own needs and be prepared to
143
00:12:57,550 --> 00:13:00,040
serve others I know it sounds so basic
144
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,830
but often we overlook these simple steps
145
00:13:02,830 --> 00:13:06,070
in God's plan to take care of us next
146
00:13:06,070 --> 00:13:08,410
God said to marry and have sons and
147
00:13:08,410 --> 00:13:11,770
daughters in God's economy men and women
148
00:13:11,770 --> 00:13:14,530
are of equal value it's important to
149
00:13:14,530 --> 00:13:16,450
note that their circumstances were not a
150
00:13:16,450 --> 00:13:18,460
cause to stop being fruitful or
151
00:13:18,460 --> 00:13:21,220
multiplying when these steps are in
152
00:13:21,220 --> 00:13:23,650
place we should pray for our leaders in
153
00:13:23,650 --> 00:13:26,380
our work in our community and in our
154
00:13:26,380 --> 00:13:29,560
nation even if they're non-believers we
155
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,720
should pray for and seek the prosperity
156
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,000
of our community this principle is what
157
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,040
I call the principle of reciprocal
158
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,730
prosperity because God said if we help
159
00:13:39,730 --> 00:13:42,640
others prosper we too will prosper
160
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,980
you know Daniel is a great example of a
161
00:13:44,980 --> 00:13:47,620
Jewish captive who followed God's plan
162
00:13:47,620 --> 00:13:50,320
while he was in Babylon if we listen to
163
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,270
the advice of men who are not following
164
00:13:52,270 --> 00:13:55,900
Christ false prophets will deceive us so
165
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:57,640
be very careful that you're not living
166
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,410
by the forces and principles that
167
00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:02,920
control man's economy God's message is
168
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,130
both practical and simple by following
169
00:14:06,130 --> 00:14:08,740
the design of his economy we can have
170
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:11,680
hope in any circumstance you know it's
171
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,630
extremely important to put what you're
172
00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:16,240
learning into practice one practical
173
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,590
application that I want you to
174
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:19,660
consider is organizing a prayer walk
175
00:14:19,660 --> 00:14:21,660
around your neighborhood or community
176
00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:24,100
read about it in your companion guide
177
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:26,620
and encourage others to participate with
178
00:14:26,620 --> 00:14:28,960
you begin to pray for the peace and
179
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,350
prosperity of your very own community
180
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:34,390
follow God's design and live in his
181
00:14:34,390 --> 00:14:37,090
economy you too will experience his
182
00:14:37,090 --> 00:14:44,110
deliverance
183
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,830
I am the prophet of God you can learn
184
00:14:48,830 --> 00:14:51,620

from this experience what God has taught
190
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:09,920
me God sent his people into captivity in
191
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,070
Babylon they had nothing they were
192
00:15:13,070 --> 00:15:17,089
refugees to survive they had to start
193
00:15:17,089 --> 00:15:20,029
over completely without anything in fact
194
00:15:20,029 --> 00:15:23,810
God sent them specific instructions his
195
00:15:23,810 --> 00:15:26,240
plan of how to start over to ensure that
196
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,110
they would have a hope and a future
197
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:33,140
first God told them to build houses and
198
00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:34,520
to settle down
199
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,100
God wants each of us to have a place to
200
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:40,070
live and to be settled so we will have a
201
00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:42,610
foundation from which we can help others
202
00:15:42,610 --> 00:15:46,510
God also told them to plant gardens and
203
00:15:46,510 --> 00:15:49,760
to eat what they produce or to eat from
204
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,640
their own gardens having a source of
205
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,640
income or a way to eat and survive
206
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,709
without being dependent on others to
207
00:15:57,709 --> 00:16:01,640
provide for you is very important by
208
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,520
establishing your own source of food or
209
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,060
income you can be in a position to serve
210
00:16:08,060 --> 00:16:12,920
others not take from them God's plan was
211
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,770
for his followers to marry and have
212
00:16:15,770 --> 00:16:18,890
children the Bible tells us we are to
213
00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:21,680
have one wife and that children are a
214
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,580
reward from God not a curse God so
215
00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:27,890
believes in marriage that he told those
216
00:16:27,890 --> 00:16:31,100
in captivity to find spouses for their
217
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:33,770
sons and daughters and to be sure and
218
00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:37,910
increase not to decrease the Lord told
219
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:41,000
them this very important truth that
220
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,100
after they had done all these other
221
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,070
things they were to pray for their City
222
00:16:46,070 --> 00:16:49,970
and to seek its peace and prosperity for
223
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:53,030
their very own prosperity was dependent
224
00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:55,540
upon the prosperity of their city
225
00:16:55,540 --> 00:16:59,170
God uses our efforts to create a
226
00:16:59,170 --> 00:17:01,840
peaceful community where everyone is
227
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,870
benefiting we are not to use force
228
00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:09,310
violence oppression slavery or injustice
229
00:17:09,310 --> 00:17:12,940
to gain prosperity we are also not to
230
00:17:12,940 --> 00:17:16,150
seek prosperity for ourselves only but
231
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:19,510
for all those in our community if we
232
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:22,630
each prosper then the community will be
233
00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:25,709
healthy for all the people living there
234
00:17:25,709 --> 00:17:29,920
finally the Lord told his people not to
235
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,650
listen to false prophets and deceivers
236
00:17:32,650 --> 00:17:36,220
that lived among them this was important
237
00:17:36,220 --> 00:17:39,190
to remember especially when their future
238
00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:41,680
seemed so dark but after giving these
239
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,690
clear instructions that they were to
240
00:17:43,690 --> 00:17:46,090
follow the Lord declared to them that
241
00:17:46,090 --> 00:17:50,320
his plans were to prosper not to harm
242
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,210
them to give them hope in the future
243
00:17:54,210 --> 00:17:57,929
and just as promised the Lord removed
244
00:17:57,929 --> 00:18:01,049
them from captivity after 70 years and
245
00:18:01,049 --> 00:18:04,860
they returned to Jerusalem they were not
246
00:18:04,860 --> 00:18:09,389
harmed and they had prospered can you to
247
00:18:09,389 --> 00:18:12,659
follow God's plan can you start with
248
00:18:12,659 --> 00:18:14,940
nothing and prosper by following the
249
00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:17,490
step-by-step plans he gave to the slaves
250
00:18:17,490 --> 00:18:21,059
of Babylon think through each of these
251
00:18:21,059 --> 00:18:23,700
steps carefully be sure you are
252
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:27,419
following each one God wants to give you
253
00:18:27,419 --> 00:18:29,400
hope
254
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,400
but you must do your part and God will
255
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,250
do his part there is so much more God
256
00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:38,250
wants to teach us our next story will
257
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:44,850
continue usually I have the privilege of
258
00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:47,220
introducing you to the truths that will
259
00:18:47,220 --> 00:18:49,050
equip you to make the most important
260
00:18:49,050 --> 00:18:50,760
decision of your entire life
261
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,120
first God loves you and want you to know
262
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:54,840
him
263
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,150
the verse that most clearly expresses
264
00:18:57,150 --> 00:19:00,630
this is John 3:16 for God so loved the
265
00:19:00,630 --> 00:19:03,050
world that He gave His only begotten Son
266
00:19:03,050 --> 00:19:05,790
that whoever believes in Him shall not
267
00:19:05,790 --> 00:19:08,420
perish but have eternal life
268
00:19:08,420 --> 00:19:11,550
God wants to have a personal and close
269
00:19:11,550 --> 00:19:13,830
relationship with each of us
270
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:17,100
unfortunately we're separated from him
271
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:21,240
by our sin Romans 3:23 says for all have
272
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,400
sinned and fall short of the glory of
273
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,730
God each of us has sinned and this has
274
00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:29,460
created a gap between us and God that
275
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:32,070
cannot be bridged by our own efforts but
276
00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:35,460
there's good news the gospel Jesus
277
00:19:35,460 --> 00:19:37,770
Christ is God's provision to bridge the
278
00:19:37,770 --> 00:19:40,140
gap he died on the cross to pay the
279
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:43,740
penalty for our sin Romans 5:8 tells us
280
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:46,650
but God demonstrates his own love toward
281
00:19:46,650 --> 00:19:49,700
us and that while we were yet sinners
282
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:54,440
Christ died for us and in John 14:6
283
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,880
Jesus told us that he was the only
284
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,520
bridge when he said I am the way and the
285
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,180
truth and the life no one comes to the
286
00:20:03,180 --> 00:20:06,170
Father but through me this relationship
287
00:20:06,170 --> 00:20:10,080
is a gift from God Ephesians 2:8 and 9
288
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,720
or by grace you've been saved through
289
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,110
faith and that not of yourselves it's
290
00:20:16,110 --> 00:20:18,960
the gift of God not as a result of the
291
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,890
works so that no one may boast we only
292
00:20:22,890 --> 00:20:25,830
have to confess and turn away from our
293
00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:29,040
sins and ask Jesus Christ into our life
294
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,200
to be our Savior and Lord
295
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,300
if you're not certain you have this
296
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:36,000
relationship I encourage you to turn to
297
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,450
Christ right now I invite you to bow
298
00:20:39,450 --> 00:20:41,160
your head and close your eyes
299
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,320
please pray silently in your heart or
300
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,440
out loud with me if you prefer father
301
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,370
God I need you I confess my sins and
302
00:20:51,370 --> 00:20:52,870
turn away from them
303
00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:55,660
I invite you Jesus to come into my life
304
00:20:55,660 --> 00:20:58,809
as Savior and Lord and make me the
305
00:20:58,809 --> 00:21:01,690
person you want me to be thank you for
306
00:21:01,690 --> 00:21:04,660
forgiving my sins and giving me the gift
307
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:07,150
of eternal life amen
308
00:21:07,150 --> 00:21:09,970
I want to encourage you if you prayed
309
00:21:09,970 --> 00:21:13,179
this prayer Jesus Christ is in your life
310
00:21:13,179 --> 00:21:24,040
and I want you to get to know him well
