00:00:45.981 --> 00:00:51.948
Your foundation scriptures is Ecclesiastes, chapter 1, verses 2-8.
00:00:51.948 --> 00:00:58.956
I'm going to read them to you in the Amplified because it will get the point across better.
00:00:58.956 --> 00:01:04.162
You'll enjoy this podcast.
00:01:04.162 --> 00:01:09.950
Ecclesiastes 1, starting in verse 2.
00:01:10.710 --> 00:01:13.453
Meaningless, meaningless, says the teacher.
00:01:13.453 --> 00:01:14.915
Utter meaningless.
00:01:14.915 --> 00:01:18.061
Everything is meaningless.
00:01:18.061 --> 00:01:22.932
What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
00:01:22.932 --> 00:01:29.162
Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
00:01:29.162 --> 00:01:33.390
The sun rises and the sun sets and hurries back to where it rose.
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:38.022
The wind blows to the south and turns to the north.
00:01:38.022 --> 00:01:44.266
Round and round it goes, ever returning on its own course, ever returning on its own course.
00:01:44.266 --> 00:01:50.971
All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full To the place the streams come from.
00:01:50.971 --> 00:01:53.034
There they return again.
00:01:53.034 --> 00:01:57.096
All things are wearisome, more than one can say.
00:01:57.096 --> 00:02:06.359
The eye never has enough of seeing or the ear is full of hearing.
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:11.223
That's pretty much mundane and despondent, isn't it?
00:02:11.263 --> 00:02:34.766
Well, the other night I was running late and I wanted to watch a particular TV program and it's a conservative news program and, as usual, the show had already started, but I was still on the introduction and I was having to wait for that little bitty, obnoxious wheel to quit spinning before I can advance and move on.
00:02:34.766 --> 00:02:43.096
In other words, it was buffering, and at that time I would think I was being buffeted upon instead of buffering.
00:02:43.096 --> 00:02:50.861
I became the buffeted upon.
00:02:50.861 --> 00:02:51.965
Instead of buffering, I became the buffeted.
00:02:51.965 --> 00:02:53.890
Or I'm at the grocery store and the clerk says did you find everything okay?
00:02:53.890 --> 00:03:00.146
No, I didn't find everything okay, because its location has been hidden from me due to rearranging of numerous items.
00:03:01.210 --> 00:03:08.793
But by this time the little wheel is running in circles in my head while I try and make sense of coming to the grocery store in the first place.
00:03:08.793 --> 00:03:13.610
I finally exit the grocery store and get the idea of an ice cream cone.
00:03:13.610 --> 00:03:24.268
On the way home, I pull up into the drive-up window, get behind two cars that have a single person in the car but order a seven-course meal.
00:03:24.268 --> 00:03:26.474
While I wait, the little wheel has gone back to spinning inside my head.
00:03:26.474 --> 00:03:28.060
That have a single person in the car but order a seven-course meal.
00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:30.581
While I wait, the little wheel has gone back to spinning inside my head.
00:03:30.581 --> 00:03:34.568
I then head home and in a rush to unpack the frozen food in the back seat.
00:03:34.568 --> 00:03:41.443
Going through the roundabouts, my little head wheel stops, resumes to spinning again.
00:03:41.443 --> 00:03:56.626
I finally decide to listen to my favorite Christian radio station and tune in just as they enter a new trivial interview of an amazing product that interrupts my music and starts my inner wheel to spinning inside my head again.
00:03:56.626 --> 00:04:29.281
After making it home, putting away the groceries, hiding the evidence of my ice cream cone or candy, after I start preparing dinner and start wondering where I put it, I shifted the focus over to the housewife and again the little wheel is beginning to spin again and this time, instead of slowing down, I find I am being buffered again and the little circle inside my head resumes.
00:04:31.026 --> 00:04:34.259
What a despondent, futile and meaningless life I live.
00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:36.807
There is nothing new under the sun.
00:04:36.807 --> 00:04:38.430
Ecclesiastes 1.9.
00:04:38.430 --> 00:04:43.122
Is there no escape from the frustrating spinning and buffering wheel of life?
00:04:43.122 --> 00:04:51.288
Well, yes, there is, and you can stop the little irritating wheel immediately that's spinning inside your head.
00:04:53.076 --> 00:05:02.524
So follow these simple steps to stop spinning the wheel or have the wheel stop spinning inside your head, the spinning the wheel of life going on inside your mind.
00:05:02.524 --> 00:05:06.482
Give your heart to Jesus Christ.
00:05:06.482 --> 00:05:11.305
Just say Jesus, come into my heart and fill me with your peace and love.
00:05:11.305 --> 00:05:16.624
Step two If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation.
00:05:16.624 --> 00:05:19.944
Old things are passed away and all things become new.
00:05:19.944 --> 00:05:23.504
2 Corinthians 5, 14-21.
00:05:23.504 --> 00:05:28.877
The Holy Spirit will come into your life.
00:05:28.877 --> 00:05:30.540
Slow down the spinning wheel and bring it to a gentle stop.
00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:34.608
Now you can clearly hear the music of God, or love.
00:05:34.608 --> 00:05:41.922
Do you know that the word God is our English translation of a divine being?
00:05:41.922 --> 00:05:44.324
And words are containers?
00:05:44.324 --> 00:06:15.927
And when you think of God, you think of some old man, some wise old man, some lovingly old man, maybe some mean old man sitting in heaven's chair holding on to everything trying to keep you from getting it, and consequently, you're doomed to go through life and poverty and lack and want and sickness and ill health and frustration, and all the while the little wheel is just spinning like crazy, never to run down, never to quit.
00:06:15.927 --> 00:06:18.141
Today we're stopping that.
00:06:18.141 --> 00:06:21.182
Today we are stopping that.
00:06:22.415 --> 00:06:25.045
I want you, when you say the name God, g-o-d.
00:06:25.045 --> 00:06:29.422
When you say that name, I want you to translate it to the word love.
00:06:29.422 --> 00:06:30.584
God is.
00:06:30.584 --> 00:06:32.918
Love Is a tornado.
00:06:32.918 --> 00:06:37.161
Love, no, is a hurricane.
00:06:37.161 --> 00:06:39.737
Love no Is sickness.
00:06:39.737 --> 00:06:40.942
Love, no.
00:06:40.942 --> 00:06:43.141
I love you so much, dear.
00:06:43.141 --> 00:06:46.855
You just got to hold on to that cancer a little while longer.
00:06:46.855 --> 00:06:51.704
Well, the Lord may be trying to teach you something.
00:06:51.704 --> 00:06:56.418
The Holy Spirit will teach you everything and he doesn't need sickness to do it.
00:06:56.418 --> 00:07:10.428
Sickness, poverty, lack, want, frustration, boils, mildew and a host of others Deuteronomy 28 is where you'll find them are curses under the law.
00:07:11.735 --> 00:07:15.627
Once you give your heart to Jesus Christ, you don't live under that curse.
00:07:15.627 --> 00:07:19.485
You can, if you want to, but it's a hard road to hold.
00:07:19.485 --> 00:07:21.276
So why do it?
00:07:21.276 --> 00:07:22.838
Why hold on to that?
00:07:22.838 --> 00:07:26.428
Let me pick up where I left off.
00:07:26.428 --> 00:07:44.148
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and say Jesus, come into my heart and I believe you died for my sins, rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father, and I believe that you will come back and I become your child.
00:07:44.148 --> 00:07:47.343
You have become my Father and I cry.
00:07:47.343 --> 00:07:50.627
I have a Father and I've been born into the family of god.
00:07:50.627 --> 00:07:52.682
I have been born again.
00:07:52.682 --> 00:08:00.161
He who knew no sin was made to be sin so that I might be made the righteousness of god.
00:08:00.161 --> 00:08:03.649
In christ jesus, I have right standing with god.
00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:08.185
Let me throw another little tidbit in here this morning.
00:08:08.326 --> 00:08:17.166
This morning I was out weeding in my ditch and I get a lot of thinking because I had my headphones on and I asked the Lord, just asked him.
00:08:17.166 --> 00:08:24.406
I said you know, no man knows the day or the hour, not even the angels, not even Jesus knows the day or the hour.
00:08:24.406 --> 00:08:25.771
Why is that?
00:08:25.771 --> 00:08:30.249
The Lord said have you ever done a book report in school?
00:08:30.249 --> 00:08:31.339
And I said well, sure.
00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:33.904
Well, when did you start to do it?
00:08:33.904 --> 00:08:37.551
I said the day before and the night.
00:08:37.551 --> 00:08:39.595
Did you get it done?
00:08:39.595 --> 00:08:48.246
No, I got a hurry through it because I wasn't complete and I tried to cram too much into too much time, too little time, and I didn't get a good grade.
00:08:49.970 --> 00:08:52.402
Well, my son, jesus, is head of the church.
00:08:52.402 --> 00:08:53.683
He's the head, is he not?
00:08:53.683 --> 00:08:56.470
Yes, you're the body, are you not yes?
00:08:56.470 --> 00:09:02.928
Well then, how am I going to tell the head when I'm coming back and not tell the body?
00:09:02.928 --> 00:09:10.993
God is not doing that to keep you so you don't know, or to keep you in the dark, or to be some kind of mysterious guru.
00:09:10.993 --> 00:09:29.600
He knows that if he does tell us when he's returning, we're going to sit on our duffs until the day before, the night before, and then we're going to try to cram it all into one night and get ready for him, and we're not going to have enough time and we're going to fail and then he loses a lot more.
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:35.030
Just rest assured if jesus said he's coming back, he's coming back.
00:09:35.772 --> 00:09:40.006
They said the same thing about the flood, laughed at noah, everything else.
00:09:40.006 --> 00:09:49.352
Let them laugh, let them push, let them shove, but you have the knowledge of Jesus Christ in you.
00:09:49.352 --> 00:09:54.749
Jesus has made unto you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
00:09:54.749 --> 00:10:03.609
When it's time, you'll either hear the trumpet or the Lord will give you a heads up, or you'll feel an unction in your spirit.
00:10:03.609 --> 00:10:04.903
One way or another.
00:10:04.903 --> 00:10:16.144
When it's time, when it's the best time, when it's the most opportune time for God to reap his reward, he will come back.
00:10:16.144 --> 00:10:23.289
You have a blessed day In Jesus' name, amen.
00:10:25.802 --> 00:10:29.351
