Are you a Russian or a Texan? I'm Russian-Texan. Both. Yeah, I'm Russian, but I'm big, same Texas. Sometimes people who live in North, he told me, oh, you go to Texas. I say, yes. Texas people like big car, big steak, and big belt for jeans, for pants. I'm big. Texas, too. Thank you, dear friend. Thank you for your praise about my family. Thank you for your support for my family. We have a hard time now. Russia have difficult time because war. But Russian government don't call to war with Ukraine. He call special war operations. Yeah, I'm ask, what difference? People kill, people, people, Russian army invade to Ukraine. Russian soldiers kill to Ukrainian soldiers. Russian soldiers kill to Ukrainian civil people. What difference? War and special war operations. Yeah. I have a lot of friends from Ukraine, from north part of Ukraine. Sometimes I call to him, I ask, how are you? He answer to me, it's bad. Russian rocket shoot, Russian rocket, Russian artillery shooting to Ukrainian territory. Yeah. My family good now. My family with kids now with my parents, western part of Siberia. In Siberia, to more safety now, yeah. Couple times Russian rocket shoot down Ukrainian military drone. One time my wife awake, wake up in middle night because sounds boom. She think, what is this? Next day, she reading from news, it's a Russian rocket shoot down Ukrainian military drone. I live from Ukrainian border 65, 70 miles. And my house from Russian air military base, two miles. Yeah, maybe Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian artillery shooting I am military base. It's terrible, terrible situations. But we have consolation. We have consolations from God. We have consolations from Bible. God control all things. God controlling all things. And book of Job. teaching to us about sovereignty of God. A few lessons from the book of Job. If we start reading the book of Job chapter one and two, we see dialogue, discussions between God and Satan. Discussions about Job and God say to Satan. Chapter two, verse six. And the Lord said unto Satan, behold, he is in thine hand, but save his life. God say to Satan, you can touch to Job, you can touch to his lifestyle, his life, flesh and his animals, and you take his kids, but save his life. Gods make border, borderline to Satan. You can use this, but you can't behind this border. You can't touch his life, still his life, but save his life. And Satan beginning work, work. Suffering, suffering coming to us when we don't expect them. Suffering coming to us when we do not expect him. Job had a good life. Many children, wealth, wealth, job, rich people, rich man. But one day, he lost his children and wealth, And later, later, later, later, feel it disease. Disease, yeah. One day. One day separated job's life. Before and after. One day. What we have today, tomorrow we can lose. Look at job's life. Before and after. Thank God for what you have today. Thank God what you have today. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Really. I don't know what happens tomorrow for my life, for my family, for my kids. And every day, I say, thank you, God, for your grace. Thank you, God, for your mercy. Thank you, God, for my family, for my kids. Thank you, God, for your blessing to my life. I don't know what happens tomorrow, but I know God is all control. God is powerful, merciful, king of the king, lord of the lords. Suffering came into Job's life. Interesting, when suffering coming to Job, he beginning ask to God, why? If we read in chapter 23, Job say, where is God's throne? I want coming to God's throne. I want ask to God. I have questions to God, for God. Why? Why suffering is coming in my life? Chapter 23. Job won't ask to God, why? Why suffering come to my life? Why troubles, terrible troubles, trouble come to my life? Interesting. I don't know, but I'm not sure. When God blessing to Job, he ask God, why you blessing me? When God blessed Job, Job did not ask God why the blessing came onto his life. We like blessing from God, really. We're joying when God give blessing to us. And we not ask why. Why you blessing to me, God? We thinking it's okay. We think sometimes God bless me because I'm good man, good husband, good preachers. I'm good, I'm good, good person. God bless me because I'm good person. It's not correct. It's not true. God, God blessing, blessings are mercy, not justice. God blesses us for the sake of Jesus Christ only. God blesses us for the sake of Jesus Christ. When God bless us, good questions, why? Why, God, you very good for me, good to me? Why, God, you very mercy to me? Job beginning ask to God only about suffering, not about blessing. God answer Job's questions about the case of suffering. It's correct, case of suffering, cause. Sorry. Can you help me? What is the word? Cause. Cause. Cause. Sorry for my English. Brother here teach me to English. Yeah. Southern. Southern English. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause. When we ask to person, we are ready to clear answer. If I ask to you, I want clear answer. But when Job asked to God, God, why sufferance come to my life? God asked Job. Chapter 28 and 249, a lot of questions. God asking Job about creations, about this world. Do you know how wild goats bring a baby? Yeah. Do you know where is storage of snow? Do you know this, this, this, this? And good questions. I don't know. I'm very limited. I'm a very limited person. I'm a very limited people. I don't know. I can't understand. And God, God asked Job. God give to Job a lot, a lot questions. And Job, Job understood. What Job understood? God, Almighty, Almighty or Almighty? Almighty. Omine, omine, wise. Omine. Omine. Omine. Omine. It's a new word. Yeah, it's a couple days ago, brother helped teach me a new word. Omine. Omine, wise. All God, what God creations, he created all perfect. He almighty and omine. Omine, wise. I don't understand. A lot of things. But I know, very important, trust to God. Trust to God. It's very important. And God is sovereign. Sovereignty. Absolutely sovereignty. He is king of the king and lord of the lord. If we read in chapter 24, Job 24, First and second verse. Then Job answered the Lord and said, I know that thou canst do everything and that no troth, troth, troth, troth can be withholden from thee. Absolutely predestinations. Absolutely sovereignty of God. And if reading next, Job have make repent, repent. He say, I'm not correct before. 23rd of chapter, Job want ask, ask it to God about suffering. But when 42 chapter in, 3rd, 4th, 5th verse, and 6th, and 7th, he say, I'm repent. I don't want ask to God why. I don't want. Before my suffering, before my knowledge to God, Job say, I'm hear, hear about God. But now, I can see. Five, I have heard of they by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye see it thee. It's very different, good spiritual experience. It's a job grow up in knowledge about God. Sorry for my English. After suffering, Job understood the sovereignty of God more after suffering. And he had a good lesson from God. Trust to me and don't ask me why. It's a good lesson from God. Trust me. Sometimes when we have good days, we have good life, and sometimes in our life coming evil days. And we ask God why. And sometimes I have problem. I have good theology about sovereignty of God. But when suffering coming, my heart don't have peace. don't have comfort. I can preaching lots of sermons about absolute sovereignty of God. But sometimes I need preaching to my heart. I need preaching to myself. Hey, Sergei. God is controlled. Not preaching to people. I need preaching to myself. We have constellations. Constellations? Yeah. about our life, Romans 8, 28. It's a great, great text, Romans 8, 28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his Purpose. Purpose. Purpose. It's a great consolation to us. And an interesting one moment. I will finish, but last moment. Chapter 19, 25 and 26. Job. Chapter 19, 25 and 26. Four, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand the latter day upon the earth, and doth--" what word? 26. What is the word? 26. And though after my skin warms, destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. It's interesting. Job, he lived many years before Jesus Christ, but he say, I shall see my Redeemer. Who? speak to Job about Redeemer. Who preaching to Job about Jesus? It's interesting. He say, I know. I know. It's a strong hope. Strong hope. I know. I see my Redeemer. Who teaching Job? Holy Spirit. Jesus say in the Gospel of John, chapter 6, 45, it is written in the prophets, and they shall be told of God. Every man, therefore, that he heard and had learning of the fathers, come unto me. Holy Spirit teaching Job about his Redeemer, about Jesus. OK. Very important. It is very important to know that God is omni, omni-wise and sovereign King of the King and Lord of the Lord. Trust to God and don't ask why. God bless you, brothers.
