1
00:00:07,811 --> 00:00:11,601
Psalm 147:10-11

2
00:00:11,601 --> 00:00:12,818
He does not delight in the

3
00:00:12,818 --> 00:00:14,166
strength of the horse

4
00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:15,475
he does not take pleasure

5
00:00:15,475 --> 00:00:17,433
in the legs of a man

6
00:00:17,433 --> 00:00:19,831
the LORD favors those who fear Him

7
00:00:19,831 --> 00:00:21,330
those who wait for

8
00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:22,931
His loving kindness

9
00:00:22,931 --> 00:00:24,705
so what are the qualities

10
00:00:24,705 --> 00:00:26,531
in which the LORD delights

11
00:00:26,531 --> 00:00:27,708
it says number one

12
00:00:27,708 --> 00:00:29,017
what he doesn't delight in

13
00:00:29,017 --> 00:00:30,329
is human effort

14
00:00:30,329 --> 00:00:31,967
doesn't delight in our strength

15
00:00:31,967 --> 00:00:33,289
in our plans

16
00:00:33,289 --> 00:00:34,332
in things that we can do

17
00:00:34,332 --> 00:00:35,211
these are not things that

18
00:00:35,211 --> 00:00:36,351
please the LORD

19
00:00:36,351 --> 00:00:37,667
what does the LORD delight in

20
00:00:37,667 --> 00:00:40,154
He delights in those who fear Him

21
00:00:40,154 --> 00:00:42,884
Proverbs 8:13 defines

22
00:00:42,884 --> 00:00:44,358
the fear of the LORD

23
00:00:44,358 --> 00:00:45,219
and it says

24
00:00:45,219 --> 00:00:47,531
it's the hatred of evil

25
00:00:47,531 --> 00:00:48,526
so what does it mean

26
00:00:48,526 --> 00:00:49,462
to fear the LORD

27
00:00:49,462 --> 00:00:50,934
what are the two qualities

28
00:00:50,934 --> 00:00:52,438
that delight God

29
00:00:52,438 --> 00:00:53,756
those who fear Him

30
00:00:53,756 --> 00:00:57,120
which means those who hate evil

31
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,665
not those who hate people who do evil

32
00:00:59,665 --> 00:01:00,932
those who hate evil

33
00:01:00,932 --> 00:01:02,582
God always separates identity

34
00:01:02,582 --> 00:01:03,614
from behavior

35
00:01:03,614 --> 00:01:05,655
so that He can love people

36
00:01:05,655 --> 00:01:06,798
who do wrong

37
00:01:06,798 --> 00:01:09,542
and yet hate the wrong that they do

38
00:01:09,542 --> 00:01:10,797
and it's critical for us

39
00:01:10,797 --> 00:01:11,974
to learn that as well

40
00:01:11,974 --> 00:01:13,822
so the quality that delights the LORD

41
00:01:13,822 --> 00:01:15,513
is those who hate evil

42
00:01:15,513 --> 00:01:16,745
and fear the LORD

43
00:01:16,745 --> 00:01:17,945
and secondly

44
00:01:17,945 --> 00:01:19,233
He delights in those who

45
00:01:19,233 --> 00:01:21,243
wait for His loving kindness

46
00:01:21,243 --> 00:01:22,815
what does loving kindness mean

47
00:01:22,815 --> 00:01:25,280
loving kindness actually means

48
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,719
His covenant faithfulness

49
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:29,892
those who have read His word

50
00:01:29,892 --> 00:01:32,024
those who know His promises

51
00:01:32,024 --> 00:01:33,485
and those who wait on Him

52
00:01:33,485 --> 00:01:35,532
and trust Him

53
00:01:35,532 --> 00:01:36,937
it's critical to learn that

54
00:01:36,937 --> 00:01:38,191
Abraham for example

55
00:01:38,191 --> 00:01:39,485
had an incredible covenant

56
00:01:39,485 --> 00:01:40,345
promise from God

57
00:01:40,345 --> 00:01:41,338
that God would make him

58
00:01:41,338 --> 00:01:43,564
the father of a multitude

59
00:01:43,564 --> 00:01:44,798
but he couldn't wait

60
00:01:44,798 --> 00:01:46,366
for God's covenant promise

61
00:01:46,366 --> 00:01:48,825
he had to engage with Hagar

62
00:01:48,825 --> 00:01:50,707
to produce an Ishmael

63
00:01:50,707 --> 00:01:51,699
because he wasn't willing

64
00:01:51,699 --> 00:01:53,519
to wait for God's loving kindness

65
00:01:53,529 --> 00:01:54,651
so that's a quality

66
00:01:54,651 --> 00:01:56,417
that displeases the LORD

67
00:01:56,417 --> 00:01:57,971
the quality that pleases the LORD

68
00:01:57,971 --> 00:01:59,993
is those that will trust God

69
00:01:59,993 --> 00:02:01,434
those that have patience

70
00:02:01,434 --> 00:02:03,492
those that can wait for Him

71
00:02:03,492 --> 00:02:05,210
those who revere Him

72
00:02:05,210 --> 00:02:06,728
treat Him as Holy

73
00:02:06,728 --> 00:02:07,905
who hate evil

74
00:02:07,905 --> 00:02:10,218
who trust in His fatihfulness

75
00:02:10,218 --> 00:02:11,489
these are the two qualities

76
00:02:11,489 --> 00:02:12,556
that please God

77
00:02:12,556 --> 00:02:14,402
so it obviously implies

78
00:02:14,402 --> 00:02:15,542
that you can hear God's voice

79
00:02:15,542 --> 00:02:17,728
and know His covenant promise

80
00:02:17,728 --> 00:02:19,389
that you can read it

81
00:02:19,389 --> 00:02:21,001
verse 11 says

82
00:02:21,001 --> 00:02:22,565
that He gives favor

83
00:02:22,565 --> 00:02:23,711
that's His grace

84
00:02:23,711 --> 00:02:25,147
that's the word grace

85
00:02:25,147 --> 00:02:26,551
God gave me a definition

86
00:02:26,551 --> 00:02:27,820
of grace many years ago

87
00:02:27,820 --> 00:02:29,500
it's not just unmerited favor

88
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:30,734
it's God's empowering

89
00:02:30,734 --> 00:02:32,575
presence exerting a divine

90
00:02:32,575 --> 00:02:34,055
influence upon your heart

91
00:02:34,055 --> 00:02:36,278
resulting in manifest change

92
00:02:36,278 --> 00:02:37,211
in your life

93
00:02:37,211 --> 00:02:38,333
that's His grace

94
00:02:38,333 --> 00:02:39,733
God's empowering

95
00:02:39,733 --> 00:02:42,013
presence that changes your life

96
00:02:42,013 --> 00:02:44,399
it says that God's favor and grace

97
00:02:44,399 --> 00:02:45,530
is released to those

98
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:48,542
who have these two qualities

99
00:02:48,542 --> 00:02:50,075
what it means is

100
00:02:50,075 --> 00:02:52,140
we need to focus

101
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:53,578
on what God has called us to do

102
00:02:53,578 --> 00:02:55,251
but trust Him to do it

103
00:02:55,251 --> 00:02:56,848
to hear His covenant promise

104
00:02:56,848 --> 00:02:59,516
hate what's evil trust Him

105
00:02:59,516 --> 00:03:00,828
and God will do

106
00:03:00,828 --> 00:03:02,523
what you cannot do

107
00:03:02,523 --> 00:03:03,704
God will provide

108
00:03:03,704 --> 00:03:05,070
what you don't have

109
00:03:05,070 --> 00:03:06,586
the enemy always causes us

110
00:03:06,586 --> 00:03:08,691
to focus on what we can't do

111
00:03:08,691 --> 00:03:10,454
and what we don't have

112
00:03:10,454 --> 00:03:12,182
readjust your focus today

113
00:03:12,182 --> 00:03:13,917
to be on what you can do

114
00:03:13,917 --> 00:03:15,241
and what you do have

115
00:03:15,241 --> 00:03:17,088
and trust God to provide

116
00:03:17,088 --> 00:03:18,649
what you don't have

117
00:03:18,649 --> 00:03:20,143
and to do for you

118
00:03:20,143 --> 00:03:21,983
what you can not do

119
00:03:21,983 --> 00:03:23,235
there are some today

120
00:03:23,235 --> 00:03:26,329
that are facing a difficult situation

121
00:03:26,329 --> 00:03:27,601
maybe you're like Abraham

122
00:03:27,601 --> 00:03:29,024
you've received promises from God

123
00:03:29,024 --> 00:03:30,220
but you haven't seen any

124
00:03:30,220 --> 00:03:32,142
manifestation of it

125
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:34,868
if you will press in and trust God

126
00:03:34,868 --> 00:03:36,732
you will see the full manifestation

127
00:03:36,732 --> 00:03:38,783
of what God has called you to

128
00:03:38,783 --> 00:03:40,080
because the Bible says

129
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,796
God pours out favor

130
00:03:41,796 --> 00:03:43,970
on those who delight in Him

131
00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:45,162
who fear Him and trust

132
00:03:45,162 --> 00:03:46,487
in His loving Kindness

133
00:03:46,487 --> 00:03:48,087
So let's be people today

134
00:03:48,087 --> 00:03:49,405
who hate evil

135
00:03:49,405 --> 00:03:50,708
who trust the LORD

136
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:52,880
and who wait for His loving kindness

137
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,531
I'd like to just pray that

138
00:03:54,531 --> 00:03:56,008
Father I pray for each one

139
00:03:56,008 --> 00:03:57,040
of my brothers and sisters

140
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,664
I pray for you today

141
00:03:58,664 --> 00:04:00,393
that you'll hate evil

142
00:04:00,393 --> 00:04:01,399
that you'll walk

143
00:04:01,399 --> 00:04:02,874
in the fear of the LORD

144
00:04:02,874 --> 00:04:04,968
that you'll have a great Holiness

145
00:04:04,968 --> 00:04:05,920
and respect and honor

146
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:06,852
for the LORD

147
00:04:06,852 --> 00:04:08,504
and that you will wait today

148
00:04:08,504 --> 00:04:09,878
for His loving kindness

149
00:04:09,878 --> 00:04:11,039
His covenant fatihfulness

150
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:12,622
Father I pray for each one

151
00:04:12,622 --> 00:04:13,738
watching today

152
00:04:13,738 --> 00:04:14,642
that you would pour out

153
00:04:14,642 --> 00:04:16,398
supernatural grace

154
00:04:16,398 --> 00:04:18,352
and a fulfillment of your promise

155
00:04:18,352 --> 00:04:19,629
in our lives today

156
00:04:19,629 --> 00:04:21,375
thank you for who you are

157
00:04:21,375 --> 00:04:24,132
that you always act 100%

158
00:04:24,132 --> 00:04:26,232
consistent with your character

159
00:04:26,232 --> 00:04:28,318
so Father I pray blessing

160
00:04:28,318 --> 00:04:30,547
today upon each one

161
00:04:30,547 --> 00:04:31,652
in the mighty name

162
00:04:31,652 --> 00:04:33,249
of Yeshua Ha Mashiach

163
00:04:33,249 --> 00:04:35,171
Amen
