0:04.3	Jeremiah chapter 39, verse 18, for I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword,
0:10.7	but you shall have your life as a prize of war, because you have put your trust in me, declares the Lord.
0:17.5	Oh, what a good verse, especially if you've been tracking the last couple of chapters
0:23.6	in Jeremiah 37 and 38 as we prayed according to these pictures of Jeremiah being unjustly
0:30.6	accused and imprisoned and then unjustly thrown into a cister and sinking in the mud.
0:35.6	God comes to him when he is shut up in the court of the

1:47.0	the persecuted church and to serve and proclaim the gospel in hard places because they trust in the Lord.
1:54.0	And that's what we have brothers and sisters doing around the world right now. And this is how we want to live, right?
1:59.0	Like today, don't you want to live with trust in the
2:03.1	Lord in such a way that nothing this world throws at you can stop you because you are trusting in the
2:10.6	Lord who promises I am with you and I will surely save you that in the end, whether your life is taken in this world or not,
