 Hallelujah! God is good! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! So we will go straight into the Word of God. Last Sunday started a series called Jesus is and Jesus is unique. We talked about things that make Jesus different than anyone else and how Jesus is meant to be explained but also meant to be experienced and today we will dive in a little bit further. A lot of people look for God and some people look for God I believe in four things and they are wrong things. First one is they look for God in circumstances. You know they want to see God through the circumstances. The problem with circumstances is the fact that the problem with circumstances is the circumstances are not always the perfect predicament of who God is. Can somebody say amen? Sometimes the circumstances are good and we think God is good but sometimes circumstances are bad and God is still good. Some people look for God in tradition. The tradition typically pains God as an evil God. God out to get you. God out to punish you and God is not always in the tradition. I respect tradition. I love tradition but sometimes tradition the Bible says makes the Word of God of no effect and therefore we don't look for God. If you want to know who God is you don't look at your circumstances. You don't look at tradition and other people it's it's now more popular now to look within to see who God is. To look within you to see who God is. The problem with looking within you sometimes you can get lost looking within. The Bible says our heart is deceitful above all things. Your heart is supposed to be led by your spirit. Your heart is not supposed to be the leader of your spirit. The Bible says the children of God are led by the spirit of God. They're not led by their heart and I respect opera and stuff. But don't don't follow your heart because it's like following a wheelbarrow. You're the one leading it. We follow the Lord and therefore that's who we find who God is. Not in our heart. Now don't get me wrong sometimes you can look within and see some good stuff and sometimes you can look within. It's like OMG. Lord have mercy. That's not where you find who God is. Other people also and this is the tree hugger's more you know like people just and that's good. That's also good. Nature is very good. Nature is beautiful. My wife here she's a nature person and you know pets and animals that's all has its place but you don't find God in nature. You find his attributes. You find little clues but the nature of who God is. His goodness. His mercy. His heart is not found in nature. If you can if you think you find definition of God in nature you haven't been through a hurricane. Your house hasn't been flooded. You know once the nature can be mean. Nature can be cold and nature can be so hot like we see right now in California. Burns things, kills things and so nature is not reflection of God. Your heart is not always reflection of God. Tradition is not reflection of God. Circumstances is not reflection of God. And who is? There's only one name and his name is Jesus. Can somebody say amen? You want to know who God is? Look at Jesus. God spelled his name for humanity in the person of Jesus. That everybody can understand. That everybody can know. Let's take a moment and read in the Word of God in Matthew chapter 19 verse 17 and it says the following. It says that, and he said to him, he spoke to the rich young ruler. He said, why do you call me good? Because the young ruler came to Jesus and he says, good teacher. What should I do to obtain salvation? And Jesus replies back. He says, why do you call me good? No one is good but one that is God. Wow. It's kind of like, people always say Jesus says some amazing things but that started confusing. It's kind of like that verse where Jesus says, hate your father and your mother. He said that. You're like, oh, sorry. Skip that part. It probably has a deeper understanding. It's the same thing Jesus says, no one is good. What does that mean? No one is good. I mean, we do good things but I think God compares our goodness with his goodness and he says, when you compare your goodness with my goodness, you know good. He says, as long as you compare your goodness with Hitler, yeah, of course you're good. And that's why God is saying the same thing about hate your father and your mother. It doesn't mean hate your father and your mother. He says, compare your love for me and your devotion to me and then compare your love toward your family. He says, it actually almost looks like hate. It's not the hating his focus on. It's that, it's the contrast in our devotion to him that he's focusing on. Are we, are we on the same page? I want to just share with you a little bit about the divinity of Jesus, meaning that Jesus is God. The first thing if you're taking notes, write this down, is Jesus is fully human. And what makes him fully human is, we see this, is he was born. We see that he was growing. We see that Jesus was tired and thirsty. Jesus had human emotions. Jesus physically died and he also had a human body after his resurrection. And this is where the confusing part happens with a lot of young people, because Jesus is fully God and Jesus is fully human. He started his ministry being hungry, yet he's the brother of life. He ended his ministry being thirsty, yet he's the living water. He was tired and falling asleep, yet he's our rest. Jesus wept, yet he's the one that wipes our tears away. Jesus was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet he is the one that redeems us and buys us to himself. Jesus died, yet with his death defeated every power of death. See, that is the divinity and the humanity. Jesus being fully God and Jesus being fully man. And you may say, but Vlad, I don't understand that. And therefore I reject it. I still don't understand how a brown cow can eat green grass and produce white milk. But I drink milk. Sometimes understanding can be put to the side. You know, just because you can fit an ocean into a cup, it doesn't mean you shouldn't drink from the ocean. Sometimes we feel like if I can fit God into my mind, into my box, that's it, I don't want to receive him. Actually, if you could explain God and fit him, he wouldn't be worthy of worship. I thank God that I can fully comprehend everything. It makes him fascinating. It makes him intriguing. It makes him worthy of worship, because I know he is bigger than this little peanut sized brain that I got in my head. That's why he's an amazing God. He's a great God and worthy to be praised. And so don't see the fact that sometimes certain things, for example, like Jesus being fully human and Jesus being fully God in one person, how could that? Don't see that as a stumbling block. See that as a cause to worship someone bigger than you. Someone that though you can figure him out exactly a hundred percent, but you can still worship and still receive from him all a hundred percent. Somebody say hallelujah. And we see that in Jesus is Jesus being fully human. I heard the story of Diane Fosse and what this lady, she loved animals and she loved particularly gorillas and she studied a particular species of gorillas and she went to this place in Rwanda where these particular species of gorillas, they were being extinguished. They were actually dying out and the reason why they were dying out is because of poachers. They would kill them and sell them and for very cheap. And so she became so passionate for this that she actually moved to the place in Rwanda. She located herself there. She decided to live among the gorillas. She learned their language. She learned their behavior. She actually would beat herself in the chest. She would nurse their babies and she literally integrated herself in the life of these gorillas. She became also so protective for these gorillas that the stories go around that she would actually catch poachers and interrogate them. Sometimes kidnap their kids to, I mean she was, she was savage in a negative way. She was so passionate and the breaking point happened when there's about 17 year old gorilla that she's seen from a baby from the infancy grow into this this gorilla. This particular gorilla was constantly isolated from from from everyone else and she fell in love with this gorilla because she felt like she could relate to this gorilla. She was always the outside of the society as well and this gorilla was always outside and when the poachers cut this gorilla and literally cut it into pieces and sold small pieces for 20 and 10 dollars on the black market and this is where she snapped and she went crazy. She went so radical crazy in protecting the gorillas that on 1985 December 26th she was gagged, destroyed by poachers with the machete. She gave her life for their good, lived among them and died protecting them. Now this is not a good example of Jesus because he didn't kidnap people and he didn't interrogate people but I want to just bring something from the earth to give you an example that Jesus didn't just come and lived as God. He became the gorilla and not just to love on us and protect us but to fight the poachers of sin, curse, disease, death and demons and all of those things and then he died protecting us giving us a way out. Jesus was fully human. What does that mean to us? That Jesus was fully human. It means one thing. Jesus can relate. I was meeting with a very wonderful person this week who was abused in childhood and when she started to share the story my heart just started to sink inside of me, hurt inside of me and as I as I heard the story and seeing how she overcoming that challenge but one thing that I could not do to this young lady is I couldn't relate because I wasn't abused and I told her I said there's somebody in our church who ministers to people like you and they they can relate. I can give you the advice from the book. I can give you advice from the seminar but I can't give you advice because I went through it. Jesus doesn't give you advice from the book. He gives you advice from experience and the Bible says he was in always tempted like us except sin means Jesus went through exactly same thing you went through the only difference between Jesus. He actually didn't sin so he did it the right way. Knowing that Jesus was fully human gives me a sense that when I come to God and I say God I'm discouraged. Jesus says I know how you feel. When I come to God and say God I don't have a father. Jesus says I know how you felt because history says that Jesus did not have a biological father. He died at the early age. When you come and say I've been backstabbed by friends Jesus says I know how that feels. That hurts. When you come and say Jesus I am in physical pain. Jesus says I know how that feels because 39 lashes hit my body. I know how it is to be in physical pain. If you're coming to Jesus and you say Jesus I am struggling financially and Jesus will tell you I know how that feels. I had to borrow a womb and borrow a tomb. I've been where you are but what makes Jesus amazing is not just only he can relate to us but he can actually do something about it because a lot of people can relate with you but a lot of those people the only thing they can do is pat you on the back and say I'm sorry but Jesus can weep at the tomb of Lazarus and after done relating he says let's remove the stone and raise the dead. The humanity and the divinity of Jesus. Come on somebody. Number two Jesus is the second person of the Trinity so now we're talking a little bit more about Jesus God. Jesus being divine. Jesus is the second person of Trinity so not only Jesus being fully man and fully God if for many people this boggles their mind and a lot of religions they actually don't accept that fact and this is what they struggle with Christianity for this reason especially people in Islam and people in other religions this is the part that's breaking for them that they have a hard time comprehending that and this makes it even more complicated. The Trinity the word Trinity doesn't exist in the Bible it just simply you know we mean as Christians is that it's one God in three persons and the Bible says the attributes we see of God's nature we see little clues as I said in the nature though we don't see God's full character in the nature because nature can be crazy but we also can see certain things in the nature and I want you to see in the nature how God left little clues there and there to tell us that he is a trying God. For example time has present past and future matter it has solid liquid and gas space has height length and width light has source illumination and energy water has you know H2O atoms neutrons protons and electrons fire has fuel oxygen and heat I want you to see that things that God created on the earth he already created them where it's one and three one and three one and three one and three why did he do that because that's the way he is and he left clues there so that even if you don't understand something there's so much evidence around you that you will say you know what I don't understand that but I know that about time I know that about matter space light water atoms and fire even you you know soul body and spirit but you just want being and so God leaves those things all around we see for example trinity in creation where God the Father he speaks and says let there be light and Jesus was the word and Jesus was the light but the spirit was hovering we see also trinity in the gospels where Jesus is coming down into water and the spirit is coming on him actually Jesus is coming out of the water spirit comes on him and we see the Father speaks we see a trinity at work we see Jesus tells his disciples go and preach the gospel and baptize people in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit now maybe you didn't realize but it doesn't say in the names of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit in the name so that's us I mean we may say well that's not proper English but proper theology one God and three persons in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit we see Apostle Paul he also says he says make sure that you guys you know strive to understand the grace of Jesus the love of the Father and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit and so we see the trinity all through the Bible and Jesus being a second person of the trinity you know we actually sell these this is not the best example but it helps the kids to understand you know God the Father Son and the Holy Ghost and I heard a Catholic priest that used it and then the Catholic Church really got mad at him because it's not a best example let me say that again this is not there is really no best example and most accurate example to show the trinity but this one does good plus it helps you to relax amen the one that uh they connected with me is the pretzel and so I actually got the pretzel there's only one problem it has two holes this pretzel that we got today it has two holes so I'm not gonna pull it out not to destroy the illustration and but you can see this one the first hole is not the second hole the second hole is not the third hole but what binds them together is the dough and so we see Jesus Jesus the Son is not God the Father and God the Father is not God the Holy Spirit but we know that they are one in essence but they are unique distinct in persons now when I was preparing this message I asked myself this question what does that mean to me I mean awesome God one God in three persons great don't understand it but super awesome what does it mean to me and I'm gonna tell you what it means to you because I feel like the Holy Spirit kind of revealed that to me the Trinity is an example of how atmosphere has to be built in our family because in every family there's a father mother and the child that's what three but one family and Jesus used to disciples he says the way I am with my father we are one he says I want you guys to be the same way amongst yourself God left the Trinity as an example of how marriage relationships to be done you don't see Jesus and the father fight against each other you don't see the Holy Spirit and Jesus competing with each other you don't see you you see complete unity and you see complete preference Jesus comes on the earth father says hey this is my son and Jesus says hey it's not about me it's about the father oh it's about the spirit the spirit says no no no it's not about me it's about Jesus it's like they're all competing and who's the first and nobody can come up with who is the first now we know God the father the first face of the Trinity we know God the Son and God the Spirit but in reality they're so united and they so love these persons love each other and they're one and they are an example to us of how a husband should treat his wife how kids should treat their parents and how a family should treat the family your example of how the family life supposed to be is not from your mom and your dad even if your mom and your dad had a great relationship your example and your pattern is the Trinity that's who you look to that's why you know I know the tradition teaches you know a husband is the is the head and the woman you know she's supposed to submit and it's true but the Bible also says submit to one another that means we are equal in the eyes of God and we live our life honoring each other we live our life honoring parents they honor their kids the Bible says don't provoke your kids to anger meaning just because you pay the bills you're not a monster you're the mentor to their kids not a tormenter to your kids because then if you torment them they leave and they'll never talk to you and you can blame it on them on sin but in reality God created us to live in unity and God created us to live in love and respect toward each other and that is how it works in Trinity and that's how it's supposed to work in our family hmm not getting a lot of amends on this alleluia amen we're gonna live in unity amen amen amen Jesus said that he was God so not only Jesus is the second person of Trinity and what we learned from Trinity is that how to relate to each other what we learned from Jesus is humanity is how Jesus relates to us but Jesus is the Jesus said he was God I have people that I came across with who are Muslim and in a lot of times what Muslim people would say and not just Muslim people would say but a lot of actually people would say in the world that Christians decided and made Jesus God Jesus never claimed to be God Jesus never wanted to be God he was just a normal good teacher and then after he died Christians decided to make him bigger than he was and they called him God and so I just want to if you ever come across that you probably will if you interact with people from other faiths I just want you kind of present what the Bible actually says first of all it's important to know that actually no other religious has ever made claims to be God Moses never claimed to be Jehovah Buddha never claimed to be God Muhammad you know about 500 years after Jesus is that he never claimed to be Allah actually Muhammad said unless God doesn't throw a cloak of mercy over me I am hopeless Jesus says unless you believe in me you're hopeless different Confucius he says I don't claim to be holy and Jesus says whoever can convince me of sin Jesus was so holy that Pilate who was who was blessing the crucifixion said this is an innocent man Judas who was betraying him said I betrayed innocent blood you know Buddha said I'm the teacher in search of truth Muhammad said I am the prophet of truth Jesus came and says I am the truth that's a boss right there and I'm not trying to belittle or belittle other faith but I just want to say that actually what the Bible says what we believe Jesus says about himself Jesus it wasn't disciples of Jesus who made Jesus God Jesus proclaim and Jesus mentioned I want you to look at just few scriptures it says in John chapter 5 verse 18 not therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him and let me tell you why why the Jews were trying to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath they were really committed to the Sabbath but also he said that God was his father making himself equal with God so we're seeing that the Pharisees were furious about Jesus because he claimed that God was his father making himself equal with God actually the reason they crucified him wasn't because of his miracles his deliverances and his charity work it wasn't because of his sermons it was because of blasphemy meaning he claimed to be God Jesus could have easily during the trials say hey guys you misunderstood me I spoke in Greek you speak Latin I spoke in Hebrew you didn't understand I am not God I'm just a servant I'm just God's messenger he would have never gotten crucified Jesus claimed to be God and he died for it not only that but we also see in John 8 58 it says Jesus said to them most assuredly I say to you before Abraham was I am now some of you who might not read the Old Testament you will say well that sounds really awesome what does that mean it means very simple when Moses met God this was the secret code that Israel had with God so that you don't get some kind of ghost speaking to you but you can kind of ask the question what is your name and that's what Moses asked God he says what is your name and God says and Israel knew because the name of God was I am meaning I'm always present I'm always alive I'm eternal and so when Moses asked God who are you speaking from the bush over there and God says I am oh you God so Jesus comes to the Pharisees and surround them and he said before Abraham I am he says I am that I am not I was not I'll be I am is I am God in John 10 10 he says the John 10 30 says I and the father are one just based on these three scriptures it's pretty obvious Jesus is God he claims to be God two things Jesus did that God does one is he forgave sin confused the people is it really people started to hate him for them when he forgave sins and he he he looked at them he says why are you so awarded he says what is it easier to say to rise up or to say that your sins are forgiven see you can say your sins are forgiven to anybody because there's really no way to check it and Jesus says I'm not throwing words on the wind because if I'll be throwing words on the wind whatever I'm about to say next wouldn't work and he says next rise up and walk the guy rises up and walks so he says Jesus said I'm not throwing words on the wind when I forgave that man I actually clean his slate completely because I'll be paying for his sins in about three years from now I am God that's why I forgive sins and not only Jesus forgave sins which revealed that he was God on this earth but there is another thing that Jesus did is he accepted worship let me surprise you he actually accepted worship as an infant he was a baby and the wise man worshipped him and Jesus didn't stop say hey yo yo yo I'm just a baby guys come on and drop the gifts as to la vista baby but don't worship me Jesus accepted worship from the people who would get healed Jesus accepted worship from his disciples when he's he walked on water Jesus accepted worship from Thomas when he touched his side and he says my lord my god and he worshipped him Jesus did never stopped and say hey guys that's a blasphemy angels did that the Cornelius angels did it to the apostle John when John was about to bow and just says whoa whoa you can't do that Jesus knew better the only god is worthy of worship and when people worshiped him he complimented them not corrected them which tells us he claimed to be God he lived as God because he was God are you with me and lastly Jesus is God and God is good the verse that we read today a young ruler comes to Jesus and says good teacher what should i do to obtain salvation and Jesus says why do you call me good is it because i'm god or is it because you're throwing words in the wind and confuse that man completely and he's like dude i don't know just just answer the question Jesus please and i pause on that verse because Jesus revealed something about God that God he could use any word angels worship and say holy holy he could have used word holy to define the characteristic the heart of God but this word Jesus used to define God he said God no one is but God is good that means compared to all the goodness in this world let's say all the goodness in this room all the good things you've done all the people you've blessed all the people i gave cards to i gave money to all the people you have helped on the road all the times you've helped your child all the times you've helped your spouse all the times you forgave people put all of the goodness and there's a lot of goodness in this room guys pull of that on the scale put that on the scale and God says and you put me on the other side and your goodness becomes zero in comparison to how good i am Jesus is God and God is good what makes God good and not us is the fact that God is good consistently that's why we say God is good and we reply see this is what makes God different his goodness than ours our goodness is dependent on the mood you don't get your coffee no goodness if you're a woman and the month monthly week came in the hell week no goodness if you do something against me no goodness the video wasn't playing right today no goodness somebody crosses your own no goodness and what difference about God is God says my goodness is not dependent on the outside my goodness is dependent on me i am self-existent and i don't need nobody and no reason to be good i am that i am i am good i am good hallelujah you know i studied this week a little bit about the life of Jesus and i saw that Jesus's goodness was practical not theoretical Jesus who was God could have come on this earth and literally messed us up with his knowledge about the universe he could have fried our brains about the invention of internet 2000 years ago can you imagine Jesus knew about the iphone that's going to come out in 2006 Jesus knew about the bluetooth that is going to be invented Jesus knew about snapchat Jesus could have come on this earth and literally downloaded to his disciples say hey guys invent ebay invade amazon invent you know pc invent this Jesus knew all of that and he shows not to share the secrets about universe because Jesus is not theoretical Jesus is not just a theory Jesus is practical in his goodness he was so simple in his goodness he healed the sick he raised the dead he found money in the mouth of the fish to pay the taxes he fed people with bread he cleansed the lepers he opened the eyes of the blind he opened the ears of the death this is God God is practical you're hurting in your marriage God is plenty healing in your marriage you're hurting in your body God who knows the universe God who commands angels and archangels but he is concerned his goodness is now reduced to a theory that's so confusing the scientists might not understand his goodness is reduced to a simple life where God's goodness is expressed in good in your life God is so good he knew they'll come up with the internet he knew they'll come up with computers they'll come up with cars he knew God knew they'll come up with cars that would drive in the space they'll come up with the ship that will take us to mars all of that but what humanity needs is not just an invention i placed that in them they'll discover that what they need is a revelation that i as a god i am good and i am practical the first the first sin was the sin when when satan came to adam and he told adam this God is withholding something good the forbidden tree holds secrets the forbidden tree holds some mystery God gave you everything but the best thing about God is still hidden from you listen satan will lead us into sin by causing us to doubt God's goodness my my bible makes me to understand that knowing God's goodness leads me into repentance see when you know that God is holding something back you will always always always always live in sin because you'll think it's in the bottle that you find joy you think it's when sleeping with your boyfriend and girlfriend this is where you find real excitement and you explore your sexuality you think that if you do drugs you do this and this and that this is where your life is there but listen God withholds nothing good from those who fear him if you want to be on the bait of satan i'm going to tell you how it's going to happen God is good and satan will put a question mark there and say not really if he is good why this happened why that happened God is good not really not for you he's not good and satan will take you by debate and if you want to overcome that if you want to overcome sin you have to overcome this lie that God holds nothing back from me the reason why i lived until 24 and i lost my virginity to my wife best decision of my life my cost me after this i believed when God said in his word to live holy he wasn't trying to steal my fun i was crazy enough to believe he actually wanted good for me i believed in that the reason why i don't steal is because i believe when God says don't steal he wants good for me the reason why i pay my tithes i come to church and i read his word i i believe somewhere sometimes i take a risk because my feelings say but God might hold something back if you go to the way of satan and sin you will really find the goodness but i took to risk and i'm 31 years of age and i can tell you one thing God has been good i have tasted and i have seen God's commandments aren't burdensome his yoke is easy and his burden is light and whatever if he asked me to stay away from something it's probably a razor that's gonna cut my tongue and cause me to bleed to death if God is withholding something it's usually something that is bad for me and i have chose to believe that God is good in my hard time and in my good time in sickness or in health in defeat or in victory God is good and i hold on to that the moment you believe God is good you will actually live a life of repentance because you will know there is no need to run from him satan will lie to you and say God is withholding something good and the moment you fall into sin this is what satan will say now God will never forgive you he's not that good to accept you back you messed up too much but satan is a liar God is not only good to keep me away from sin God is good that even if i fall into sin to pick me out from the sin and knowing that he is good leads me into repentance out of my sin into his kingdom Jesus is good when adulterous woman was brought to Muhammad he asked to stone her for adultery when adulterous woman was brought to Jesus he protected her from stoning because he was good Muhammad commissioned and blessed a killing of a blind man Jesus healed a blind man he married 13 wives and kept sex slaves left with 19 year old girl my Jesus he showed goodness he actually remained single Muhammad murdered those who insulted him Jesus was insulted and murdered by those who hated him he allowed people to hurt him to show that i am good even when you're not he ordered a slave to build a pulpit from which Muhammad would preach Jesus removed his robe and washed the feet of his disciples all the followers of Muhammad the prophet Muhammad they said that he ordered people to give their life for him all the people who follow Jesus said he gave his life for those to follow him i want you to see the goodness of Jesus in john there is seven i am so he said i am the bread of life bread is good bread is practical then he says also that i am the light of the world light is good and light is practical and then after that he says that i'm also the door to the green pastors the door is practical and the door is good anytime you see the door you can see a new season you can see a new place and then he says i'm also a good shepherd i'm not just any kind of shepherd he says i'm good at what i do i take care of the sheep i take care of my people and then Jesus says not only that he says i am resurrection and life i am life and i am resurrection this is not a theory this is not one day he raised people from the dead and then Jesus says i am the way the truth and the life and lastly he said i am the true vine i want you to see this about Jesus Jesus is good and he's practically good and i'm not talking about in the book i'm talking about in life when he was on this earth he did good things to reveal to us he is good that's why i believe in healing that's why i believe god doesn't want us to live in poverty god doesn't want us to live in rejection god doesn't want us to live in abuse god doesn't want us to live even if you've been through divorce if you've been you've lost your virginity maybe you lived in sin maybe you're coming here today and you feel guilty for some things that you've done or maybe you've done drugs maybe you've sold drugs maybe you were abused or maybe you're the abuser and you're you're ashamed of that i want to tell you something you're not coming to moses who killed sinners you're coming to jesus who died for sinners you are coming to someone who is good and until you believe in that your life will not change we all know the story of mishibusheth i'm going to finish on this is the the tale of two sons the first one was mithibusheth's 2nd Samuel chapter 9 where mithibusheth was a son of jonathan and mithibusheth fell and both of his fell his nerves dropped him and because of that he became crippled and david sends to mithibusheth a message he said listen i want to show you kindness come and mithibusheth was scared because what if david is trying to kill me pretending to be good because see anytime you're in lodebar anytime you've been dropped by people anytime you're living in a place of no pastor you're always suspicious it's too good to be true you get married and you're waiting for your spouse to leave you you get a good breakthrough and you're waiting for a breakdown why because your life has always been bad and there god comes to mithibusheth through david and he says listen i want to be good to you and mithibusheth is afraid because everybody dropped him everybody let him down and and here is another opportunity somebody's gonna lie to me and mithibusheth swallowed that fear and he says you know what i will take a risk and believe david doesn't have a secret agenda and he's not gonna kill me and he goes in and that goodness from david covered the problems of mithibusheth and whatever it didn't cover it changed and mithibusheth's life was changed in next chapter honan was also a son whose father died and the bible says david does exactly to honan what he did to mithibusheth he sends messenger and he says listen your dad passed away i'm so sorry i just i'm here to comfort you probably he brought him gifts probably he brought him some contracts maybe some connections says listen i'm here to help you i'm here to build your kingdom unlike mithibusheth honan was actually in the palace mithibusheth was crippled in his body but honan was crippled in his mind because when he heard the news that david is trying to be good like many people he believed it was a lie and he says no david is trying to attack me he's looking for a weak spot and what he did he took the messengers he shaved them he embarrassed them he mocked them and thus instead of receiving the goodness he started the war and yes he was defeated and yes he lost who are you mithibusheth maybe you have a crippled situation but there's something worse than having a crippled situation is to have a crippled mind thinking god is always out to get you punish you and god is good to everyone but you that is a crippled mind and that can destroy your life not your situation but that mind said or you're like hannon who maybe maybe things in your life are somewhat good but you believe that no no no god doesn't help people god only helps those who help themselves you need to if you want to make it you you make it you make it happen you don't need a savior because you are your own savior you god's goodness will have no place in your life i want you to humble yourself today and say lord in spite of my situation in spite of my predicament i know that you are good and i believe in that amen god is good and all the time god is good and all the time i said god is good and all the time god is good and all the time if you believe in that stand to your feet
