Welcome to reclaiming your legacy with then as Peter said President of the creation resource foundation it's time to discover providential insights for God designed to achieve meant so we can empower others with a life transforming legacy. But they. That wait upon the Lord children knew their strain they still mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint This is Dennis Peterson and thanks for joining me today on reclaiming your legacy you probably have read that passage out of Isaiah Chapter 40 verse 31 haven't you I've read it so many times in the past and it has been such an encouragement but notice the prophet Isaiah repeatedly affirms who this Lord is among the many statements in those chapters about beginning at verse 40 and on through verse 45 in the book of Isaiah the prophet makes some remarkable claims and helps us to realize who we're dealing with here in Chapter 40 verse 21 he asks Have you not known Have you not heard has it not been told you from the beginning have you not understood from the foundations of the earth now you know the question there is sort of almost like a taunt It's like saying Isn't this obvious to everyone and so who is this God that Isaiah claims to speak for the very next verse in Isaiah 40 verse $22.00 and following that says it is he that sit at the pond the circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers he stretches out the heavens as a curtain and spread them out as a tent to dwell in the bringing of the princes to nothing he make it the judges of the earth as vanity and what is a saying well he's obviously telling about the amazing scope of God who is outside the universe he's bigger than anything we can imagine he is beyond everything that has been created because he's the one who created it and then he asks the question in verse 25 of Isaiah 40 To whom then will you liken me or shall I be equal to say the Holy One. Well his answer give us a clue of how to discover him by examining his works and that's the key I want us to grasp here in verse 26 of Isaiah 40 it says Lift up your eyes on high and behold who have created these things that bring it out their host by number he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might for that he is strong in power and not one faileth he's talking about the heavens the the angels of heaven and also the stars of heaven he's talking about the fact that he is named every single one of them I mean such amazing breadth of knowledge and wisdom and insight is just too much for us to grasp and then another question for us humans who may need improved perception spiritually and Isaiah 40 verse 28 he asks Has the not known has that not heard that the everlasting God the Lord the creator of the ends of the earth faints not neither is weary there is no searching of his understanding this is the background framework that were given to validate the wonderful promise that so many have staked their faith on. Isaiah 40 verse $29.00 to $31.00 famously promises he give us power to the faint and to them that have no might he increase its strength even the youth shall faint and be weary and the young men shall I really fall but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary and they show walk and not faint if that doesn't help us to really understand a little bit of the power in the intention of God to help those who are His there's a lot of affirmation of Gaza den of the power in Isaiah Chapter 42 verse 5 starts out as the say if God the Lord he that created the heavens and stretch them out he does spread forth the earth and that which comes out of it he's a given breath and to the people upon it in spirit to them that walk therein I the Lord have called the in right just knows and will hold in hand and will keep the and give the for a covenant of the people for a lie to the Gentiles to open the blind eyes to bring out the prisoners from the prison and then that sit in darkness out of the prison house and don't miss 1st 8 I am the Lord that is my name and my glory will I not give to another neither my praise to graven images. Now stop and think about that God is not for one moment going to give his glory to created things to things that man would make as a representation for anything that God would be or that their image of what they think might God be and strengthening the message even more God speaks to us through His Prophet further in Isaiah 43 verse 10 you are my witnesses if the Lord and my servant whom I have chosen that ye may know and believe me and understand that I am he before me there was no God formed neither shall there be any after me I even I and the Lord and beside me there is no savior What's he saying to us Isaiah Chapter 44 verse 24 tells us plainly Thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer and he that form the from the womb I am the Lord that make of all things that stretches forth the heavens alone the spread of the broad the earth by myself you see that's the impact that God is trying to get across to us when we read these passages it so deeply profoundly helping us to grasp the immensity of God the power of God the the careful concern that God has for us His creation and further in the prophecy for telling Cyrus to rebuild God's city of peace Jerusalem and Isaiah $45.00 or say teen he says For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens God Himself the form the Earth and made it he hath a stablished and he created it not in vain he formed it to be inhabited I am the Lord and there is none else and going on in verse 21 there is no god else beside me a just God and a Savior there it is again there is none beside me. Look until me and be saved all the ends of the earth for I am God and there is none else are we getting the message here God is proclaiming that he is the object of our desire for salvation he is the one and only one who is able to give us the salvation that we need and want only because he is the one who made us He is the one who made everything and I am reminded why Paul exhorts Christ's reborn sons and daughters to engage in our warfare as believers today we are to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God Further it says that we're to bring into captivity every thought to be a bead eons of Christ I let me read that again were to cast down imaginations were to put aside every high thing every philosophical theory every thought that would exalt itself against the knowledge of God yet hardly a day passes without hearing a barrage of vain speculations from idolatrous pagans who defy nature and defied true science that's why we're repeatedly warned to be aware of the traps set by the enemy to deceive God's people cautions chapter 2 verse 8 Do not be deceived how many times do we hear that in Scripture Don't be deceived yet isn't it amazing how easily God's own people all of us can so easily be drawn into the same temptation as Eve you know what she heard the serpent say yes God really said now you've heard the reports new so-called discoveries point to naturalism to evolutionary processes to explain that the creator wasn't necessary. Maybe because water molecules are detected on Mars life could have evolved there that's what we hear reports like that science has only demonstrated that life can't evolve here on Earth what makes anyone think that it could evolve out the space Remember the principle that's called the anthropic principle about life on Earth there's no place like Earth there's nothing else in the universe that has all of the conditions that seem to be so specifically crafted for man to thrive. That's the whole point and that's what God is declaring here in his word all of these things that God has made clear declaration of God of helping us understand a little bit about his nature just like it says in Romans chapter one the things that are made declare his power and his nature that's what's being affirmed over and over again here in the book of Isaiah and yet we're reminded of how people make anyone think that you know life had to evolve some kind of naturalistic process and so they come up with vain imaginations like Romans which after one forecast that they would and by those who refuse to retain God in their knowledge that's what it says in Romans one they come up with all these imaginations and philosophies and speculations because they don't want to keep God in their knowledge if they say and yet live give lip service to the idea of worshipping God the Creator examine what they are really saying reading Romans chapter one helps us to understand the harsh warning of Osea Chapter 4 verse 6 where it says My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because that has rejected knowledge I will also reject the oh do we grasp that that's not a threat that's a warning. I will also reject the that thou shalt be no priest to me sing now has forgotten the law of the God I will also forget the children go back and read that in Hosea Chapter 4 of her 6 my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge and because that has rejected knowledge I will also reject the the fear the Lord is the beginning of knowledge we read that in Proverbs Chapter one Verse 7 it continues but despise wisdom and instruction do you know that Charles Darwin pronounced a challenge for modern science to prove him wrong here's what he said if it could be demonstrated than any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications my theory would absolutely break down. In other words if you can find just one example of a complex creature or organ or system in nature that could not have possibly evolved by natural processes then the entire evolutionary house of cards collapses the make believe billions of years vanishes as a masquerade all the bogus explanations of nature worshipping textbooks that have to be grossly revised every few years anyway because of the new discoveries they're all eradicated they're all gone all because they refuse to listen to God Now think of this one example the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly which was created 1st the butterfly or the caterpillar people like to ask which was created 1st the egg or the chicken. But why not ask somebody who's you know toying with and being tempted and lured by the speck it was a specular ization of evolution and just ask them which was 1st the butterfly or the caterpillar if we're honest in responding to Job's invitation to enquire of the creatures of the earth like it says in job 12 verse 8 we can't avoid concluding who doesn't know that the hand of the Lord is done because. The female butterfly lays her egg in just the right place where the tiny new had a caterpillar begins immediately feasting voraciously on the special the Eves the provide just the right nutrition for a few days as it grows and grows and then it stops it stops eating stops flowing and makes a little thread to hang itself from branches it transforms into a chrysalis a hard shell like structure a virtual straight jacket to whom were it proceeds to dissolve itself into a formless soup that's right and you know you heard it a in just a few more days the soup constructs itself into a marvelous flying creature with totally new systems of life emerging in only a few minutes when the process is complete it inflates its spectacular wings with the biochemistry to serve new muscles new joints and support structures and then flies away to continue the cycle to the next generation amazing awesome absolutely incredible when you think about how could that have happened by natural processes it can't and doesn't that totally nullify Darwin's theory by virtue of what he actually tempted us to go out and find. Go look at it contrary to what die hard naturalistic evolution is insist that their students accept by blind faith there have never been any fossils showing the evolution of this remarkable system of the butterfly they find fossils of butterflies but they're all as perfectly complete as the ones flying in the skies today if the young person ask you for a explanation of why you think evolution can't be true just ask him Have you thought about your eyes lately the Bible says In Proverbs Chapter 20 verse 12 the hearing year in the Seeing Eye The Lord has made even both of them before we look at that I want to bring to your attention something that we're going to be doing very soon just coming up in just a few days on October the 6th mark it on your calendar because this is something I think you won't want to miss do you want to be equipped to expose the distortion of basic Biblical truth in the popular media today and you as a Christian young person or youth leader or parent if you're concerned about how to prevent your Christian family from being led astray by the Pied Piper of secularism this is something that you won't want to miss this special one day event is designed to inform and equip alert parents and leaders to change the trend that is literally captivating and ensnaring the next generation of children who would otherwise be learning to fully follow Christ so they can expose the fallacies of the secular world. Now I want you to see the details at our website reclaim your legacy dot com forward slash Genesis legacy Mark it down does go to our website reclaim your legacy dot com forward fast slash Genesis legacy and share the event with your friends on Facebook you'll find the link there and you didn't go to Facebook and just look up Genesis legacy or reclaim your legacy you'll be able to find it the so-called millennial generation and others are being overwhelmingly deceived by high sounding ideologues of secularism it's no secret that the world of news media and the big government business of education has the whole society subjected to their indoctrination they even have many esteemed church leaders charmed into thinking that they can't defend the Bible with intellectual honesty well with God's help this alarming situation can and will change but only when fearless champions of God's inerrant Word take seriously the challenge to renew their minds by testing the vain imaginations of those who willfully ignore the knowledge of God that the creator has made evident for all of us to see what do students learn when they patiently test all things what do they see when they investigated least speak to the Earth what do they discover when they deliberately ask the beasts of the world what amazing insights are gained when they enquire of the former age about the world that then existed before the flood I've just mentioned several different short phrases from various scriptures in the Bible that we will be looking at together at this event it's at the Eldorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville on October 6th all day sessions morning afternoon and evening. A few weeks ago a surprising event happened being a fairly energetic person I never imagined that this would happen to me at the young age of 71 I was awakened at 4 in the morning with what later proved to be a heart attack and I finally got to the hospital after all the technology available was used to examine me it was apparent that I had close to a 99 percent black plaque blockage in that window maker artery that supplies oxygen to 2 thirds of the heart muscle a painless and fairly noninvasive microscopic process was used to expand the blocked artery and insert a stent to allow life giving blood to flow freely to all the heart apparently little damage was done other than slightly higher than normal blood pressure that's being monitored with exercise and medication the prognosis looks pretty good but I'm reminded of a new that every day of life is a gift from God 4 decades ago the Lord impressed me with the invitation of Psalm 66 that's right 40 years ago and some 66 of those come and see the works of God He is awesome in his deeds for the children of man I've spent more than half my life dedicated to sharing the wonderful works of God I've been on a sleeper plex by why more Christian leaders don't take the command in some 14 or actually Psalm 145 more seriously word says one generation shall praised by works to another and declare that I'm mighty acts one what an invitation to partner with the Lord of all creation to lead young learners in discovering God's awesome demonstration of his power in the world around us. And now I'm reenergized like never before in my own spirit to join the Psalmist's prayer in Psalm 71 word says Oh God now has taught me from my youth and hither to have I declared by wonders works now also when I am old and gray headed Ogaden 1st take me not until I have showed by strength and to this generation and I power to everyone that is to come. So I want to ask you you who's listening to me right now will you join me in this challenging venture let's take advantage of this opportunity to bring our children and grandchildren God's lambs to discuss awesome works if you haven't shown your family yet wait until you see the compelling evidence that the animals that God calls the chief of the ways of God actually were created right alongside with our grandfather Adam on this earth about 6000 historical years ago some of the descendants of those behemoths that we call dinosaurs actually survived the world covering day lose of no was time and Jesus staked his reputation on it and it's only because we've been blinded by traditional philosophies a vain deceit that our generation has been led astray by secular pied pipers who are alienated from the life of God and darkened in their understanding like it's as if these and for 18 through forensic scientific research actually affirms the Bible and refutes the make believe stories of evolutionary naturalism our 1st morning session on October the 6th in the county fairgrounds in Placerville will showcase vivid evidences that dinosaurs and mankind walked this earth at the same time it's time to reclaim God's created giants of the animal world to glorify the creator and stop letting our young ones think that they are the mascot of godless evolution. Now the 2 afternoon sessions will have a little help from 2 of my expert friends Bruce Malone and Dan Biddle they're going to join me via video to dismantle popular secular myths about origins and unpack some of the vivid visual evidences for Genesis creation and the worldwide delusion in our 1st presentation we'll explore some of the remarkably effective connections for true seekers of truth showcasing highlights from my soon to be released new book will break down for young learners a few of the 7 persuasive keys to the awesome works of God You won't want to miss this. And then before dinner we'll look at some of the awesome evidences that are hardly even seen in schools or museums testifying to the miraculous creation of the overwhelming great flood of no it's time after supper we'll do just what the ancient writer of job invites us all to do speak to the earth and let it teach the what a fossils an ancient artifacts actually uncover about God's awesome works and then we'll see a special bonus from Del Tackett the Truth Project will witness a premie
