stop the the running around in your brain and get your eyes on God. But the second thing is that when God gives you a word, choose to believe him. Believe him. And in this case, David had a second choice. He first encouraged himself in the Lord, but then when he got his word, I didn't go I didn't print the I didn't have them post the rest of this. But he does, in fact, pursue, and he does recover all. And then immediately after this, David is finally anointed crowned king. [01:12:41] (33 seconds)  #BelieveThenPursue Download clip

And that one experience changed my life because I didn't know how loved I was.

But back to the first first verse of John 14, what he instructed them before he had gone to the cross. This is days before the cross. His words, let not your heart be troubled. Let not your heart be troubled. So he had instructed them what was ahead for him and how all would look lost. And then immediately before he goes, he says, let not your heart be troubled. How many of us, when we've been given a word and it looks like all has gone wrong, we immediately get troubled. [01:02:20] (42 seconds)  #LetNotYourHeartBeTroubled Download clip

especially if you deal with issues of anxiety. In John, I remember early on in my walk, got to John fourteen twenty seven, and that verse says, my peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, give I unto you. And do you remember how I talked about I had done it the world's way? And that didn't work. And so I was like, oh, fantastic news. There is another way, and Jesus is the way. [01:01:51] (28 seconds)  #HisPeaceNotTheWorlds Download clip

And that is something that in this case because even if you go past where Jesus is meeting with them in in this closed room, there's still doubt. There was still so much doubt, and Jesus literally was standing in their midst post crucifixion and letting them look at his hands in his side. So believe the word of the Lord.

how he felt about me, plea please get to know how Jesus feels about you. He loves you so desperately that he gave up everything for you. Give that into your heart because it will literally change your behavior. But I had to get into the word. I had to pray with him. I essentially had to renew my mind to the word of God. And through this process, my life changed drastically. My desire to have a sip of alcohol or in my case, many sips, it passed away. [00:51:34] (34 seconds)  #RenewedByGrace Download clip
