They seek to silence the Message by silencing the messengers. They look for any cause to discredit us. This is why we must "speak the truth in love"! Knowing this Gospel is unto life or death, what manner of Christians should we be?

Greetings friends and new listeners welcome to our program. I'm Sharon not thanking you for joining us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. I think you will truly be blessed, maybe even tickled by our message today the song the faith. I know I had fun ministry in the congregation was right there with me including the children, we found out that not only does state speak, but it also sings so be blessed by the song the faith people had come proved it, but time was different. Having come through the saga.

They had their lip and this is where were going to pick up the story now and we are in the page background was okay.

We stopped at verse 16. Now let's see what happens in verse 17 and this and I fit everything I said today. Believe it or not, this verse might not believe it care enough par for the course for you. Verse 750, then this all go well water receiving anyone one, no water, no water in their no miracle. I don't think you know God doing something miraculous.

Water yet one that they forget these people haven't gotten answers to their prayer get their tongs are hanging down dog. One hot day regarding what water but instead of open there now. The murmur gripe and complain they decide you know we get the water thinking before we get the water we get the victory if they move the people.

The people began in 19 the Princess means the leaders of all the crime they might go back there and get you know get little Johnny and get Joe and get back. I know the big day in the well will of the people doing the well by the direction of the lawgiver which would've been no went there and shoveled the beginning and maybe get a hold ground blistering God when he gives you the next three Domino 413, one of the anchors of my message the creative word and you turn every second or 13th as we having the same as it is written, I believe what someone 1610 as it is written, I believe there my spoken, we believe we speak.

But we also believe we not only speak you can get a revelation on this and understand that you know when Don has moved and answered your prayers. You don't wait until God opened up the windows of heaven and the rain falling down. You don't wait to God opens up the earth and the well is ringing up if you will sing the song they will keep on digging. If you will people pray you will keep people known God's word will people trusting in the Lord and all the time that your dig in and waiting on God. You're saying in the song will report bring water upon him who is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground. I will pour my spirit upon my feet and my blessings upon my know I think 35 64 in the wilderness shall spring in the parched ground shall become a pull the land springs of water. Sometimes you have to sing longer still in the back keep confessing God's word that's digging. Keep praying and interceding that's thinking thinking thinking, but sometimes you got something to that Holy Ghost anointed inspired singing.

Amen. Praising God will give you the victory. Paul said thanks but on the guy who always causes me to trying and you know one of my favorite songs and I'm sure the favorite of most all you hear someone 03. We all know, bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless his name. The little muscle, and forget not all of his benefits to go swimming one you, we had David speaking to her name. I think things will bless the Lord, so pressing God report so you don't keep amen I dare you. You if you will start singing the song it will be very long. That one song will follow another and another will follow you know just the thing installed everything in song you forgot, you knew you might even start singing how does this cost the window hot hot when we knock knock knock you will thing yourself in the victory said someone 05106107.

Some of the longer something there. They're all looking back there.

Looking back and summarizing the Israelites in the wilderness and Psalm 107 verse 31 says that men would praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works and this is a song some honestly set to music because we will read the whole thing is way too long but every few verses they repeat all men would praise the Lord for his wonderful works to the children of men, and give a few more wonderful works and I like the one in verse 35 to 50 and it says he turned wilderness interest in water and the dry ground into water sprays would praise the Lord for his wonderful works to the children of men, and I hope that you see in the spirit. Maybe you've been through something that you been to a catastrophic illness or someone close to you has been a severe trial a severe trial. Your child may even be worse than that, you may have lost a loved one close to you and that is like being in the wilderness with no copies and nothing you feel totally lost. Amen. Or you may feel like that you're just a drifted and you don't have any direction but I tell you that if you will sing the victory song if you will sing the song you will find out that faith in your spirit will come up like a spring and want to spring it, you can't shut it down. Amen. I love what Jesus said in John 414. The water that I shall give unto you, shall be a well water spring on the everlasting life singing before the victory is an active faith very quickly (the second Chronicles the 20th chapter now forgetting far far far down the road in the history of the Israelites.

This is a store you're all well familiar with, so I will paraphrase a lot of it at this situation, the enemies of God will recognize the names immediately, as the same ones we read here in numbers. We got way down the road. This is toward the end of the Kings before they went into exile and we read that no non-announced here came up against Israel, a great multitude, and the Scripture says in second Chronicles 20 I think it's verse three that you yell verse three and just the fact he was afraid because they were outnumbered by three nations.

Amen. And they were mighty men, and so he feared.

Here's what you do when you're attacked by fear. Verse three he gathered the people together. He and Judy gathered themselves together at first for wannabe backup verse three he set himself to seek the Lord and proclaimed throughout all Judah, so he was afraid but he said you know I'm by myself.

He got brothers and sister got men and women of like precious faith, we got going pretty fast together. Amen gathered together and what they do verse four to help on the Lord that came out from their cities and they came together and that's what you do when you're being a spirit of fear, you're trying to get the mentoring and indexing. You and your trying to do a dog or something. Keep on. You know yourself sometimes were ashamed to admit by fear or to somewhat great mighty great spiritual Christian what you mean you're being attacked by fear. You know yourself.

The preacher got your back.

Fear, but it's not unusual it's very common. It's one of Satan's number one weapons. This time it's ungrounded and unfounded. If you thought about really thought about what you're afraid of, you realize it shouldn't be while you're in it you don't see it that way, you feel that terrible terrible oppressing spirit of fear and somewhat you got brothers and sisters to help you to pray help of God and so that's what he did and then if we go on we find out that they begin to pray. Verse 5 1/2 foot in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new and said, oh Lord God of our fathers. I love this is what you do you brag on God are not found God in heaven, and will not enroll the kingdoms of the heated and nine hand.

There is not power and might that not is able to withstand the art thou, not our God did astride out the inhabitants of this land for my people Israel and gazed into the seed of Abraham my friend forever and they dwelt there ready to build the sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, when people come upon us, the sword, judgment, pestilence, and famine or we stand before that we will stand before the house and did not present for thy name is in this house I will sign our affliction then now will hear and will help us and now the children of Ammon and Moab announced zero. Now what is not. Let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt.

And that's another story, but they turn them just for them not because they mistreated them when Israel came out, they would not let them pass through their land didn't want to stay. Israel just wanted to pass through this were even offered to pay them money for let them come through knowing what will probably be drinking some your water and your grass but they said no you can't come through and they wanted they got angry and wanted to what you know to retaliate and engage them and I said no need them to me that my hands, but the animosity process. Behold, I say how they rewarded us to come to cast us out about possession which thou given us to inherit. Get back to brag on God. All our God will thou not judge them for we had no light against this great company that cometh against.

We had no Mike we have no strength. We had no resources. We have no all withstand these enemies. And I love this. Neither knowing what to do. Don't ever be ashamed to tell God I don't know what to do at the best thing you can say they don't mind when you say it picture you're not lying. We don't know what to do here. The answer, but but our eyes were upon the hallelujah and so they began to remind God what he did in the past, how he brought the now white of the devil's attempts to keep them from coming in. They both thought about all the Reminding God and then after they had done all that they put your request to the Lord.

They confess they did not know what to do. The Bible says God resists the proud, but all gives grace to the humble.

When you know you need grace because you know I do not know what to do. Low getting real low.

He said in Matthew 2818 know I am with you some of you will get when you get home so they said I really knew and that's what God was waiting to hear because as soon as they said that verse 13 and all Judah stood before the Lord with their little ones, their wives and their children love this that you see here. He specifically said wife and children and if they weren't there he would just setting all the people. Okay, then upon the elder son of Zechariah, the son of Ben Anaya, the son of John yell this on a map.

Anaya, a Levite, you could just told us that the sons of Asaph. Now who were the sons of Asaph, the choir members.

The fingers amen you looking to solve a lot of them don't say David. A lot of say Asaph and came the spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation. I'm not a prophet.didn't pick a preacher.didn't pick up Bishop. He did take reverent wonderful. He picked a choir member, a choir member and the Holy Ghost came on him and he said to me all Judah and he had Jerusalem and out came to have to fax the Lord unto you. Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude for the battle is not the works, but God and tomorrow you down again. Then, behold, they come up on the cliff of and you shall find them at the end of the brook before the wilderness and future UL and you shall not need to fight this battle sector cells and standing still and see this nation of the Lord with you all Judah and Jerusalem, nor be dismayed tomorrow go out against them for the Lord will be with you.

Amen. The Lord will you now lest we get the idea that they had absolutely nothing just go down there and stand if we stopped here we might think that they didn't have to do anything else. All they had to do was just stand there.

But let's see what what he says in the next verse in the Levite cave where were not involved 18 1/2 and bowed his head with his face to the ground and all Judah for the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord worshiping the Lord and the Levites and the children. The half-light of the children of Christ there all Levites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice knowing hi and they rose early in the morning and went forth into the wilderness of Tacoma and as they went forth.but stood and said he made all Judah and he had Jerusalem listen, believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established beneath his prophets and so shall you prosper you think they still had to do something.you don't have to fight. No, no, you don't have to fight but you do have to believe my work. You have to believe my promises and you got to believe my profits and sometimes all you have is this. That's all you got to stay in doing and the enemy is surrounding you, but you have got to believe the written word and then because were New Testament saints, especially how much more when we have the Holy Spirit poured out upon us. We have received the spirit with all of his nine gifts operating in the church.

Amen. Sometimes God gives us a prophetic word even if you believe the written word are going to be established you're going to be founded. I don't want to hear nothing from anybody that's not rooted in the word you're not ready to do anything to you get founded included in the word and then if you get founded in the words sometimes God will give in addition to the written word will get ice were given and spidered word he'll give a word of wisdom the word of knowledge, prophecy, tongues, interpretation of tongues. God will give and if you believe the written word will be rooted and grounded in established the enemy will not be able to move you with the lie. And then when you get spidered word and you believe it is not given you an inspired word and you let the devil talk you out of it. How many times is not given you a prophecy or a word of encouragement and then the devil said that was just the vessel that was just that that if you want to prosper in that were gotta believe it. You gotta believe and hope that you never believe a word over the written word. You never believe a word that does not agree with the written word because we have a short more word of prophecy the word of God. But when it is in line with God's word and if you do have the spirit of God in you, he will bear. Amen. Because God will witness, and God will confirm and then you shall prosper. I think did nothing. They had to believe, and then what did they do verse 20 and they rose up early in the morning. However, he read that verse 21 and when he had consulted with the people he appointed singers on the Lord that is the beauty of holiness. When somebody tell me the next word would you be for the Army and to say what praise the Lord for his mercy in Florida forever, and when they began to sing and to praise the Lord that an enforcement against the children of Amnon Miller, the now senior, which were come against you.and they were smitten. So here we have another example of singing before the victory. It says they went before the Army now we can take that preposition two ways. Obviously they went in front of them before, and in front the singers went first and then the Army. The Army were there for show. They were there for show.that you don't have to fight. They didn't have on their their fatigues in their camouflage.

They had on their brass button and their hats when you march in a parade. They weren't there with their with all of their arms, they were there for a victory parade. They were waiting until they had the victory had the parade committee know that after the victory would always parade down the main streets of of of the city, but they weren't there for a parade before there was a victory. Amen… You went to the battles over want you to wait until the enemy has been smitten answer the first thing they did was they were simple Lord we know not what I what ambushed me to be hiding waiting on nobody. The invisible angels of God. They were weight. They will wait until every one of them was in the middle of their victory song. They were singing on the lot, worshiping God, the angel came out of the bushes because when God will be right in the middle of your warfare.

You because you made no you're going to be thinking. What do you want you morning God.

Everyone right now. What went through your children to be healed and need to give you. Amen I trust you're being blessed by this delightful message. The song, the faith in Old Testament times, God instructed Moses and later David to put his word to music. This made it easier for the people to remember. Even today, we teach our kids, their ABCs and song. The song of Moses was sung by the people. After their glorious Red Sea crossing Mariam and the women sang and danced the horse and the rider are cast into the sea. You know it's easy to sing when you just want a huge victory like that, but unfortunately the Israelites fell into chronic murmuring. Each time they faced a hardship, such as having no water in one incident it resulted in God sending fiery serpents that bit them, and some died. This left an indelible mark on their memory and the next time they needed water. They began to sing before they receive their answer.

While the men were digging. The women were singing and the water burst forth. There is a great lesson here for all of us. Don't wait to the battles over sing now shout now dance now God will send angels to chase the enemy like the chaff before the wind like he did when Josh of thought and the choir went out to face the enemy. They sing the victory song.

While the Angels won the battle.
