Brother Gyme Sunday Evening 10/26/14

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Gen 1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Gen 1:4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Gen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Gen 1:7  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

Gen 1:8  And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Gen 1:9  And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

Gen 1:10  And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:13  And the evening and the morning were the third day.

God is a God of order.  The Apple seed brings apple trees.  You always get strawberries from strawberry plants.  Without that order it would be hard to trust God.  Because He is a God of order, what He says always brings forth.  It is the way it is.

God says, “This is what happens if you obey.” Then we see it happen, it causes faith to grow.  If we planted a seed and had to wait for it to come up to see what it would be, we would plant a garden and just wait to see what would come up.

Spiritually in the garden of our life we can have confidence that it will bring forth what God says.  From the beginning God was the God of order.  If you think of the big bang theory and stop and reasonably think of it you know it cannot be true.  We see every day that things are in order.

Can you imagine taking a shoe box, and a nice Swiss watch that keeps time perfectly and disassembling it and shaking it up and then think that you will open the box and have a watch that will work?  It won’t work.  God is a God of order.

Gen 1:14  And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Gen 1:15  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

Gen 1:16  And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Don’t you like that?  The nearest star after the sun in our galaxy is 4.24 light years away.  There are between 200 and 400 billion stars in our galaxy.  There are billions of galaxies.  God knows all the stars by name.

The distance to the nearest star after our sun, with the best propulsion that we have, it would take us 75 thousand years to get to that nearest star.  God spoke it into existence and it was so.  He set the sun and the moon in order.  If you can imagine the night sky and a small dark square in the night sky.  They pointed the Hubble telescope toward that spot for four years.  They found the universe is way bigger than they could have thought.  There were many bright spots.  They all represented galaxies.  Each of them held 200 to 400 thousand more stars.

With everything that they know about physics and the universe, that is impossible.  When someone says, “It is scientifically proven.”  We can say, “You know, there is a lot that we don’t know.”  They try to bring that spirit of unbelief; God knows.  He spoke it all into existence.

He knows the name of all the stars, yet He knows how many hairs are on your head.  With how big God is, He is interested in every little detail.  He knows how everything works.  He spoke it into existence.

Sister Timberly –

The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. 

The moon is rotating and revolving around us as we rotate and revolve around the sun.  The moon is revolving at the same rate that it is rotating so we always see the same side.  The earth is tilted on its axis so when it is summer in the north hemisphere, the northern part of the earth is toward the sun in its revolution.

The moon causes the tides.  The earth has a bubble of water around it.  Where ever the moon is, the gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides and causes the bubble of water to form toward the moon.  It also pulls the earth over a bit and causes a bubble of water on the backside as well.  There are two high tides and two low tides at the same time.  During a full moon and during a new moon it causes an extra high tide and an extra low tide. 

The light that we see from the sun has traveled eight minutes to get to us.  If the sun and moon are at ninety degrees with the earth then there is the least difference in the high and low tides.  That is a neap tide. 

It is rare that the sun, the moon and the earth are ever lined up.  When it happens then there is an eclipse of some kind.  During the new moon there can be a solar eclipse.  During the full moon there can be a lunar eclipse. 

There is a new moon and a full moon every month but it hardly ever lines up to cause an eclipse because the earth and the moon’s orbit is tilted slightly. 

Job 38:3  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Job 38:4  Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Let us not question God’s authority and counsel.  The spirit of unbelief will come and say, “This cannot be true.  Why am I going through this trial?”  We need to never question what God puts us through and what God says.  He is never wrong.

Jesus the same yesterday, today, and forever

God never changes.  The word of God never changes.  We have emotions and can be up and down.  We have feelings, but when we are going through those things we need to remember, God has not changed.  Just because we are having a bad day doesn’t mean that God is displeased with us. 

We are emotional beings.  Sometimes we are up and sometimes down.  Sometimes we have to get violent about some things.  We have to gird up the loins of our mind.

Exo 3:13  And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

Exo 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

He is the eternal and self-existent God.  He is from the beginning and to the end.

Rev 1:8  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Isa 44:1  Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

Isa 44:2  Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

Jesurun means the upright one.  It is a symbolic name for Israel describing her character.

Fear not.  For those that walk upright and are doing all they know to do, this is the message from God, “Fear not.”

Isa 44:3  For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

Isa 44:6  Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Isa 43:1  But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Are you His? If you are His then He says to fear not.

Isa 43:2  When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

He doesn’t say, “I’m going to keep you from the fire.”  He says, “When you walk through the fire thou shalt not be burned.”

Marvelous are thy works.

Psa 139:16  Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Psa 139:17  How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

God has good thoughts toward us.  He was there when we were formed.  One of the applications is that when He formed you in the womb, He was there.  When He made all of your parts, He was there. 

Science still doesn’t know how all those cells divide and become what they become.  They divide and some say, “I’m going to become the heart, I’m going to become the liver, and I’m going to become the brain.” 

A woman talking of how the embryo was formed, an unsaved woman, said “If you could listen to this instructor teach on how things happen in the womb, you would believe in God.”

This big God that spoke into existence the trillions of stars was there when you were formed.  He is more than able to take care of all his people.  He is more than able to take care of every problem you have.

He knows.  You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Psa 48:1  A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Psa 48:2  Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Psa 48:3  God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

Psa 48:12  Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

Psa 48:13  Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

They need to hear and they need to see.

Psa 48:14  For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

He is from the beginning.  God is more than able to see us through.
