Let's get to our prophecy update. If you're able to stay, we'd certainly encourage you to do so.

If you have to leave, have a blessed week in the Lord. And if we don't see you on Tuesday night,

by the way, for our prayer meeting, do I need to go back and do the whole Philippian sermon again?

If we don't see it Tuesday night, 7 p.m. here for our prayer meeting or Thursday

night for our study in the Psalms. We'll see you, Lord willing, next week. Okay. I'm going to have

to kindly ask that you bear with me as we step back from the proverbial tree as it were in

order to see the bigger forest. Last week was one of those weeks and one of those weeks

certainly that requires a much needed perspective concerning the bigger

prophetic picture. Maybe again I need to speak for myself and admit that it's very easy for me to get caught up, no pun intended.

In all of the developments that seemingly take

place on now even a daily and sometimes hourly basis.

That's how fast everything is happening of prophetic importance and significance, and sometimes it drives me crazy.

Because I know that as I'm preparing my heart to prepare for the prophecy update,

that I'm going to have to spend time seeking the Lord and say, Lord, I mean,

if I talk about all of these trees, I'll never get to the forest of what it is that really

this is all about and fulfilling. So that's why I use that metaphor. Everything we see happening today

is perfectly going according to God's schedule. What do you mean by that? What I mean by that is

that we should never get anxious.

I'm still in Philippians 4, 6, and 7. We should never get concerned or even become fearful

when we see what is happening in the world today because we were told exactly what the world was going

to be like right before the end when the Lord comes back and takes out raptures his church.

So we see what's happening in the world and it can, you know, cause our hearts to be troubled.
