0:00 Turn with me to Luke's gospel now in Luke's gospel in chapter 21. You know, it's speaking here about the return of Christ. 0:26 They asked him about when are these things going to happen. And Jesus replied to them, And one of the things he said in Luke 21, there's a whole list of things in the latter half of Luke 21 about the last days. 0:53 And one of the things it says here is, you know, it talks about tsunamis in verse 25. The mighty roaring of the sea and the waves. And then men, verse 26, Fainting from fear, the expectation of things coming on the world. 1:17 Fear is going to be one of the great characteristics of the last days and people. Fainting from fear. 1:37 That means fear is going to grip their minds so much. Fear of this and fear of that and fear is what's going to happen in the future. What will happen to me and what will happen to my children and doing everything to preserve myself. 1:59 Motivated by fear. To preserve myself. To preserve myself. To preserve myself. Motivated by fear. What will happen to me and what will happen to me and what will happen to me and what will happen to me and what will happen to me and what will happen to me. 2:13 And it says here. It's one of the signs of the last days. And then verse 27. Suddenly, they'll see the son of man coming in a cloud. So what should you do when these things begin to come to pass? 2:35 Lift up your heads. For your redemption is drawing near. So when you see the world filled with fear. That's the time to lift up my head and say. 2:57 Praise the Lord. Your coming is near Lord. I'm waiting for you. I'm not going to have any fear. And when you see the world filled with fear. That's the time to lift up my head. Praise the Lord. Your coming is near Lord. 3:14 I'm waiting for you. I'm not going to have any fear. The most common statement that Jesus made to his disciples was not sin not. Not do not sin. But do not fear. If you don't believe me, read the Gospels. 3:41 The number of times he said, don't be afraid. When they were in the boat. And it was about to sink. Don't be afraid. When they were in the boat. And it was about to sink. Don't be afraid. You may think I'm sleeping. But I'm not sleeping. 3:53 God is awake. He's never asleep. The Lord never slumbers. No sleeps. The Lord never slumbers. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be in a panic. Some little pain in the body. Don't be afraid. Trust me. It's so important in these days. 4:04 It's so important in these days. And I tell you, fear and faith are very difficult. The Lord never slumbers. The Lord never slumbers. No sleeps. The Lord never slumbers. No sleeps. Don't be afraid. Don't be in a panic. Don't be afraid. 4:14 Don't be in a panic. Some little pain in the body. Don't be afraid. Trust me. It's so important in these days. And I tell you, fear and faith are absolute opposites. 4:35 Like black and white. Like light and darkness. And I tell you, I'm telling you, that faith and faith are all the same. It's like the pain and the pain. The pain and the pain. And the pain and the pain. Don't imagine that you have faith if you've got fear in your heart. 4:51 It doesn't exist. Fear comes in, faith goes out. Faith comes in, fear goes out. You cannot have both living in the same heart. 5:13 Impossible. It's like darkness comes in, the light goes out. It's like darkness comes in, the light goes out. Light comes in, the darkness goes out. It's like night and day, you know. The dawn, the sun rises and the darkness goes. 5:34 And then the sun sets and the darkness comes in. It's very much like that. Fear, more and more it comes in, faith gradually moves out. It may not be sudden. Like the darkness doesn't suddenly come on or the light doesn't suddenly come. 6:01 But gradually, it becomes dark. Gradually, it becomes light. But gradually, faith goes away. Gradually, fear takes over. Be very, very careful. Fear and faith are opposites. 6:22 And there's no place for fear in the heart of a child of God. Carefulness, caution, yes. You have to be careful. You have to be careful if you're walking through a forest infested with snakes. 6:47 You have to be careful if you're walking through a forest. You have to be careful. Carry a torch light. Carry a stick. You have to be careful. Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? 7:00 Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? 7:08 Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? Why do you have to be careful? you are right
