0:57 Shalom and welcome to On Wings Of Truth
1:01 I'm your host William McDonald and I
1:03 want to tell you how pleased I am that
1:05 you're joining me for this telecast and
1:06 this program
1:11 being viewed on prime time TV we're
1:14 going to begin presenting to you a
1:16 series of teachings using the hebraic
1:19 perspective and this is the very first
1:22 of our programs that we are broadcasting
1:24 we're going to look at
1:28 subjects ranging from word themes all
1:32 the way into looking at various concepts
1:34 of the Bible based upon the Old
1:38 Testament we may do a teaching from The
1:41 Book of Genesis or we may do teachings
1:44 in the future dealing with single books
1:46 like the Book of Malachi but we're going
1:49 to have an exciting time what I want to
1:52 do today is invite you to going at your
1:55 Bibles and be prepared to follow along
1:58 with me in reading the text and also
2:01 have your pen and pencils available so
2:03 that you can take notes we're going to
2:05 begin to share with you a lot of
2:09 information on these programs today's
2:13 program is titled overcoming worry worry
2:17 is a very uh interesting subject that
2:20 tends to be downplayed in our society
2:24 too much and because of that too many of gods
2:25 gods
2:28 Believers God's people are being
2:30 affected in such ways that they are not
2:33 even aware that worry what worry is
2:35 doing in their lives and so we're going
2:37 to start off this series of teaching
2:40 we'll probably do four or maybe four so
2:42 teachings on this particular subject
2:45 until we get it completed
2:48 on the subject of worry we will be using
2:51 the Hebrew perspective that is using
2:53 Concepts and words I won't be reading
2:55 necessarily from the Hebrew Bible word
2:57 for word or
3:00 lecturing in Hebrew I will be using
3:03 Concepts and terms that are so familiar
3:07 with us today and uh most of the time we
3:09 think we understand what these words
3:11 mean but we really don't and we're going
3:14 to see just how that bear out in the the
3:17 program as we go on well if you've got
3:19 your Bibles available with you and your
3:22 pads and principle pencils are and ready
3:24 to take notes we're going to start out
3:26 teachings with the subject I want to
3:29 read a little uh statement concerning a
3:32 worry uh from this little book that we
3:35 have put together
3:37 on the subject of worry
3:41 and let's see if I can find exactly
3:47 says
3:51 today there is a subtle unseen Force
3:54 sweeping across this country and the world
3:55 world
3:58 enslaving countless numbers of people
4:02 from all walks of life this force is so subtle
4:03 subtle
4:05 that I have met individuals who believe
4:07 they were born
4:10 with it as part of their behavior pattern
4:11 pattern
4:15 still others are lured into his power
4:16 without knowing
4:19 that this force is about
4:21 to take control
4:23 over their lives
4:27 it is clear that once this Force has
4:29 gained acceptance into the victim's heart
4:31 heart
4:34 the force has now
4:36 became master
4:38 of that life
4:41 the force I am speaking of as I said is
4:43 called worry
4:46 now the Bible has a lot to say about
4:49 worry even though in some cases we don't
4:52 see the text referring to the subject of
4:56 worry but in many times in the
4:59 scriptures we have the word use
5:02 and sometimes our English translation
5:04 will fail to translate the correct
5:09 Hebrew word for worry for instance in
5:11 Matthew chapter
5:15 25 or excuse me Matthew chapter 6 verse
5:19 25 the text Begins by reading the King
5:22 James version says therefore I say unto
5:25 you take no thought for your life what
5:27 you shall eat or what you shall drink
5:31 nor for your body what you shall put on
5:36 is not life more than meat and the body
5:41 more than Remnant now in this verse in
5:44 the King James text it says therefore I
5:47 say unto you take no thought
5:50 and most of the time thought is not
5:52 really seen
5:55 with connection to the concept of worry
5:58 but if you have a NIV version
6:01 translation I have the parallel Bible
6:03 that I'm working with right here today
6:07 both to King James and the NIV the NIV
6:10 text says therefore I tell you do not
6:13 worry about your life so here's the word
6:16 worry being being mentioned in the text
6:19 and as I said worry in the opening of
6:24 the text is a subtle spiritual Force
6:26 worry has been
6:30 slipping up in our society or sneaking
6:34 up in our society over the last 30 years
6:37 and it has become a dominant part in the
6:38 way we speak
6:43 we can't use complete sentences without
6:46 somehow another telling someone not to
6:49 worry or to worry about something
6:52 and we don't realize we as Believers in
6:56 the Lord Jesus our lord and savior
6:59 we should be guiding ourselves from
7:02 worry completely and we're going to go
7:05 into a lot of material talking about
7:11 opens the door
7:13 to anxiety
7:16 which opens the door
7:20 to fear which ultimately begins to
7:22 produce depression
7:25 and as we go along in this teaching on
7:27 the subject overcoming worry we're going
7:28 to establish a lot of those points as
7:30 well but let me go back to the text that
7:34 we were reading in Matthew chapter 6.
7:36 uh verse 25 I'll start from the
7:37 beginning again therefore King James
7:39 version therefore
7:42 I say unto you take no thought for your life
7:43 life
7:46 what you shall eat nor what you shall drink
7:47 drink
7:52 uh what
7:54 what
7:57 you shall put on is not
8:00 life more than meat and the body more
8:05 than Remnant behold the fowls of the air
8:09 for they so not neither do they reap nor
8:12 gather into bonds yet your heavenly
8:14 father feeds them
8:17 are you not much better
8:19 than they
8:22 which of You by taking thought or worrying
8:24 worrying
8:27 can add one cubit unto his statues
8:31 and why take ye thought of why worry for
8:34 Remnant consider the lilies of the field
8:38 how they grow they tall not neither do
8:40 they spin
8:44 and yet I say unto you that even Solomon
8:48 in all his glory was not arrayed like
8:52 one of these verse 30. wherefore God if
8:55 God so clothed the grass of the field
8:58 which today Hills and tomorrow is cast
9:02 into the oven shall he not much more
9:04 clothe you
9:07 O ye of little faith
9:10 therefore take no thought or therefore
9:14 do not worry seeing what shall we eat or
9:16 what shall we drink or where shall we be
9:20 closed verse 32 for after all these
9:23 things do the Gentiles seek
9:25 for your heavenly father
9:29 knoweth that you have need of all these things
9:31 things
9:36 but seek ye first the kingdom of God and
9:39 its or his righteousness and all these
9:41 things shall be added unto you these are
9:44 some very powerful verses
9:47 and what we're going to do in the uh
9:49 series of teachings on overcoming worry
9:52 is go back and begin to break down these
9:55 texts and and establish some principles
9:58 for understanding uh not just the
10:00 operation of worry but how you can begin
10:04 to move away from this element of worry
10:06 and take complete control over it in
10:10 your own life and not have it to be uh
10:13 maneuvered by its spiritual forces when
10:17 it begins to uh rear its ugly head in
10:21 your in your life now we said this that
10:24 worry is a spiritual Force
10:27 uh turn in your Bibles with me
10:31 to the book of uh Colossians
10:34 the book of Colossians is a uh very
10:36 interesting text and it has some
10:37 interesting information in here regarding
10:39 regarding
10:41 the concept of
10:46 worry and its operation
10:48 Colossians chapter 1
10:52 and I want to begin reading with uh
10:55 let's see verse
10:59 9. verse 9 of Colossians chapter one
11:01 King James version again says for this
11:04 cause we also since
11:07 the day we heard it do not cease to pray
11:08 for you
11:12 and to desire that you might be filled
11:13 with knowledge
11:17 of of his will in all spiritual
11:19 uh in all wisdom and spiritual understanding
11:21 understanding
11:24 that you might walk worthy of the Lord
11:28 unto all patience being fruitful in
11:30 every good work
11:32 and increasing in the knowledge of God strengthen
11:34 strengthen
11:37 with all might according to his glorious
11:39 power unto all patience and
11:43 long-suffering with joyfulness giving
11:45 thanks unto the father
11:48 which have made us meet to be partakers
11:52 of the inheritance of the Saints in light
11:53 light
11:57 verse 13. who have delivered us from the
11:59 power of Darkness very important verses
12:02 who have delivered us from the power of
12:05 darkness and have translated us into the
12:09 kingdom of his dear son in whom we have
12:12 Redemption through his blood even the forgiveness
12:14 forgiveness
12:18 of sins verse 15. who is the image of
12:21 the invisible God note this
12:24 who is the image of the invisible God
12:27 the firstborn of every creature verse 16
12:32 it says for by him who is him God for by
12:35 God were all things created
12:39 that are in heaven and that are in Earth
12:42 visible and invisible whether they be
12:46 Thrones or dominions or principalities
12:51 or Powers all things were created
12:53 by him and for him
12:57 and he is he is before all things and by
13:00 him all things consist now you hear that
13:04 the word in verse 18 or excuse me in
13:07 verse 16 it says for by God were all
13:09 things created
13:13 that are in heaven and that are in Earth
13:15 now the reason I come back came to these
13:17 scriptures because
13:19 when we think about this concept worry
13:22 where does it come from
13:25 if it's just a a word that we Loosely
13:28 say in reference to I don't worry and
13:30 you don't worry or don't worry about
13:33 this if it's just an insignificant word then
13:35 then
13:37 how does it begin to
13:40 appear in our lives and begin to show
13:43 some type of power that is controlling
13:46 us in in our Behavior patterns of what
13:47 we do
13:49 but here the scripture says that all
13:54 things were created by God note that all
13:57 things were created by God I'm saying
14:03 that's that worry is a spiritual Force
14:06 a spiritual force and it was created
14:10 oddly enough by God
14:11 now that's going to be a little bit hard
14:13 for some of you to take
14:16 I want to also clarify and say to you
14:18 I'm going to be saying some things to
14:20 you in the programs that you've probably
14:22 never heard before
14:24 and that's because of my background in
14:27 my area of studies I'm looking at the
14:31 Bible from a Jewish perspective I'm
14:33 trying to understand what does the
14:37 rabbis and the sages of old how did they
14:39 understand this biblical text and then
14:41 how would they have understood these
14:44 principles as they were being given in
14:48 the early centuries so long ago and in
14:51 learning that information I spent many
14:53 years going back and studying with
14:55 Jewish Scholars to understand their
14:57 methodology to understand their mindset
15:00 and to extract from them principles that
15:03 I can begin to as a believer in Yeshua
15:06 hamashiach Jesus the Messiah
15:10 as I can learn how to begin
15:15 to live this life and walk in a more uh
15:18 Victorious stage you see I believe that
15:22 all of us want to begin to see the
15:24 Dynamics of God's kingdom manifest in
15:27 our lives and to the most part
15:29 we don't see that happening
15:31 and the reason we don't see it happening
15:35 is simple we're not doing Bible things
15:39 Bible ways and I believe that uh when we
15:41 get back to doing Bible things Bible
15:43 ways you're going to begin to see the
15:45 simple principles of Kingdom work in
15:48 your life you're being spoken to and
15:50 taught so many different concepts and so
15:54 many different uh versions of what the
15:56 text is saying so I'm going to begin to
15:57 present to you some things that's going
16:00 to be new to you some of you if you're
16:02 if you know Hebrew may be familiar with
16:04 some of the concept if you do not you
16:06 may not so I asked you to follow along
16:08 with me because what I'm going to do is
16:13 tie knots and bring things into a whole
16:18 Jewish concepts are like uh weaving
16:22 cloth together one concept is woven to
16:24 another concept that is woven to another
16:26 concept and when we get through weaving
16:28 all of these Concepts together we have a
16:32 beautiful hole that begins to formulate
16:34 the picture of who God is and the
16:37 picture to who you should be as well so hope
16:38 hope
16:40 the first thing that I said was God
16:43 created worry
16:47 and according to the scripture here in
16:53 Colossians chapter 1 verse 16 for by him
16:58 were all things created note that again
17:03 for by God were all things created that
17:05 are in heaven and that are in Earth visible
17:07 visible
17:11 and invisible whether they be Dominion
17:16 or powers or principalities or powers
17:19 all things were created by Him and for
17:21 him now I want you to see something in
17:23 this scripture because you see I didn't
17:26 make this up I didn't determine and put
17:28 these verses in here I'm only giving you
17:32 what the text is saying and now what
17:34 we're going to do is put together the
17:38 concepts that that thread together
17:41 understandings in a Jewish mentality
17:44 that these individuals have known for
17:46 hundreds of years that we Christians are
17:49 just beginning to walk over into and get
17:50 the light in their understanding of
17:53 because they understand the concepts of
17:57 worry or the concepts of
18:00 in how it relates to them in their lives
18:03 as well so where do we begin
18:06 this teaching act in order to understand
18:10 the concept of worry and its operation
18:15 we just established that it is a unseen
18:21 spiritual Force just as uh we read in
18:23 colossian that it is an invisible force
18:25 because you can't see worry
18:28 it's just somehow another it begins to
18:30 attach itself to your life in some form
18:33 or another or how in the world does it
18:35 begin to gain access within your being
18:38 so when we get through with this program
18:40 these series of teaching you're going to
18:42 have a complete understanding of its
18:46 operation and how it gained access into
18:49 your spirit into your mind into your
18:51 thinking process so before the program
18:54 in we're going to share a little bit
18:55 more with you and build upon this
18:58 principle by going to the Book of Genesis
18:59 Genesis
19:02 Book of Genesis and I want to look at
19:07 chapter four in Genesis Genesis chapter
19:10 4 we have a beautiful story here the
19:18 Cain and Abel
19:22 and in verse
19:26 6 the text says then the Lord said to
19:30 Cain why are you angry why is your face downcast
19:32 downcast
19:35 if you do what is right will you not be accepted
19:36 accepted
19:39 but if you do not do what is right
19:44 the text says sin crouches at your door
19:47 it's desire
19:49 to have you
19:52 but you must Master it
19:55 now these versions have always been
19:57 there and I read from the NIV
20:00 but we don't know what to do with them
20:01 and we really don't know how to
20:04 interpret it let's look at the story a
20:06 Little Closer
20:07 we have
20:10 two individuals who were born
20:15 from the birth or born sons of Adam and
20:17 Kava and Eve
20:21 Network Kane and then Abel
20:23 and then they were to bring offerings
20:25 unto the Lord Abel
20:27 Abel
20:29 offering was accepted Cain's offering
20:31 was not
20:34 and we don't have any indication why
20:35 Kane's offering was not
20:39 accepted or what type of offering it was
20:41 supposed to have been I've heard a lot
20:43 of theories about what offering it was
20:47 it was the meat of the ground or all
20:49 types of we don't have any evidence of
20:52 that but we do know
20:57 is God spoke to Cain God spoke to Abel
21:00 just as he spoke to Adam
21:03 and when he told Adam in the garden the
21:05 things that he spoken to him he spoke to
21:07 Cain and he spoke to Abel and he gave
21:11 them instructions as to what was desired
21:13 of them Abel
21:15 Abel
21:19 did what God asked of him
21:21 Cain did not
21:24 how do we know that well in this
21:26 scripture it says why are you angry why
21:29 is your face downcast if you do what is
21:34 right the implications here is something
21:36 has been told to him that was supposed
21:40 to have been done he did not do it and
21:42 because he did not do it
21:45 here God is instructing him that he
21:48 needed to do what was right so
21:50 so
21:53 I can remember many years ago in my own
21:55 life as I was raising my children who we
21:58 have my wife and I have four my youngest
22:00 son uh
22:02 came into my study one uh one afternoon
22:07 and as he was approaching he
22:09 was standing I turned and looked and he
22:11 was standing at the entrance of the door
22:14 and when I saw his face he had what is
22:17 called here a downcast face
22:19 the King James version says his
22:21 continence Has Fallen
22:24 and immediately because I had been
22:26 studying these texts I knew something
22:27 was wrong
22:30 he approached me and handed me a sheet
22:33 of paper that on the paper as I read it
22:36 it had information that he was failing
22:38 several of his classes and they were
22:41 trying to get us to get him into study
22:43 so that he didn't ultimately get a
22:45 report card that was bad
22:48 my son knew
22:52 that he had done wrong because his
22:54 mother and I had told him countless
22:56 numbers of time what he was supposed to
22:58 have been doing in so far as studying
23:01 but instead of studying and doing what
23:04 was right he did what he desired to do
23:07 and in the process of doing that now he
23:10 had to come and present this paper to me
23:12 with a downcast face
23:15 now something much more Dynamic is going
23:16 on here
23:19 because you see I understood the
23:21 operation of what was happening in my
23:24 son's life only because I began to study
23:26 this concept of worry many years ago to
23:28 understand how does worry gain access
23:31 Into the Heart of an individual
23:35 and when I began to realize he gains
23:39 access through words spoken to our
23:42 hearts into our minds or to our spirits
23:46 and you see just as God told Cain what
23:48 was required of him
23:52 the minute that God wasn't around the
23:53 ugly one
23:58 came and spoke to Cain and said to him
24:01 you don't have to give an offering of
24:04 that sort got to be happy if you give
24:07 unto him an offering of this sword
24:11 in other words Cain took fault Jesus
24:12 says don't take thought do not worry
24:15 Cain took the thought of the ugly one
24:17 speaking to his mind and when he took
24:20 the thought Disobedience entered in and
24:24 now Cain is outside of the will of God
24:27 and you see no doubt the same situation
24:29 was playing its way through in this in
24:31 in the life of my son
24:34 because my son had been told what he
24:37 needed to do and no doubt the enemy the
24:41 ugly one or we could say worry came and
24:42 spoke to his mind and told him well you
24:44 know you can go out and throw the
24:46 football a little longer you can play a
24:48 little a little bit longer you can play
24:50 the games of Nintendo you can do you can
24:54 and when it came time to study he put
24:57 little effort into it and the result of
25:01 that was he didn't get the approval that
25:04 he desired or that we desired him to get
25:07 well you see in the texts here in
25:11 Genesis it's interesting my son had me
25:14 to contend with Cain on the other hand
25:16 he had God
25:18 let's look at this text a little bit a
25:21 little bit as we conclude the program it says
25:23 says
25:26 if you do what is right
25:29 will you not be accepted now I want to
25:31 set as a principle
25:35 for overcoming worry right now the first
25:37 principle that I want you to jot down
25:39 and to keep in your heart
25:45 is you always have to do what is right
25:48 now why is that important because God is
25:52 setting a principle that will live out
25:54 through the lives of his creators of his
25:58 Creations throughout all of eternity and
26:00 that principle is simple always do what
26:02 is right
26:04 if you do what is right the text says
26:07 you're going to be accepted but if you
26:09 don't do what is right
26:13 the text says sin crouches at your door
26:17 now When sin crouches at your door its
26:19 desire is to have you but you must
26:21 Master it now that that gets kind of
26:23 technical because because there are some
26:25 things being stated in there that can be
26:27 very difficult to understand and as we
26:29 get ready to go over into our next
26:31 program we're going to begin to talk
26:33 with you a little bit more about how can
26:35 sin Crouch at your door because I want
26:38 you to think about this you see sin is a
26:41 result of an action taken
26:44 not something that that can just be
26:47 there you have to actually do something
