No More Shame

[0:00] Thank you for choosing to listen to today's message by Rev. Dr. David Etch. We know you will be blessed as you seek and serve God. We believe that this message will stir up a desire for more of God even as you listen.

[0:14] Be blessed. Thank you, Jesus. Psalm 25, verse 1, it says, Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

[0:25] O Lord, I trust in thee. Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me. We are going to pray that prayer. You won't be put to shame.

[0:38] Anything that looks like shame, that wants to come hear you. Today is day of grace. We want to pray. Let the grace of God overrule every target of shame in my life.

[0:51] Let the grace of God turn every captivity around in my life in the name of Jesus. About your family. Anything that you know.

[1:04] God must help me. Other than that, it looks like I'll become a laughing stock. People will mock me. People will laugh at me. It doesn't look good.

[1:14] My enemies will rejoice over me. It says that, Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. Oh, my God. I trust in thee.

[1:26] Let me not be ashamed. And let not my enemies triumph over me. Maybe it's not for everybody. Maybe this prayer, maybe this prayer topic might not be for everybody, but there are certain people.

[1:39] In Joel chapter 2, verse 32, it says that, And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.

[1:51] For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

[2:02] It said, They shall be deliverance, and it shall come to pass. Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. shall be delivered. And in the book of Romans, Romans chapter 10, verse 11, it says that, For the scripture says, Whoever believes on him shall not be put to shame.

[2:25] Whoever believes on him shall not be put to shame. Whoever believes on him shall not be put to shame. We are going to stand on this. Scriptures have quoted. In Psalm 26, Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

[2:40] O my Lord, I trust in thee. Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies try over me. In Romans chapter 10, verse 11, it says, And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall believe in the Lord shall not be put to shame.

[2:57] In the name of Jesus. So, we want to stand on this scripture. We want to pray. Anything that has been planted around your life, in your life, and you know you need God's intervention, else you can be put to shame.

[3:13] Bible says that in Mount Zion, there shall be deliverance. You are going to pray and enforce your deliverance, and you will not be put to shame. You shall be delivered, and you will not be put to shame. Sometimes, if where you are is private enough, you can mention the very things that you are concerned about.

[3:30] Mention it. Don't be so. Mention it. But you want to pray the Lord. O my God, I trust in you. Let me not be ashamed, and let not my enemies triumph over me.

[3:43] In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. In the book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 28, verse 16.

[3:53] It says that, Therefore, thus says the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone. I lay in Zion. Where is Zion? Zion is a church. Hallelujah.

[4:05] Remember, we just read in Joel chapter 2, verse 32, 32 said, In Mount Zion there shall be deliverance. Okay. It says that there shall be deliverance.

[4:16] It says in Mount Zion, in Jerusalem there shall be. So, we just read it in Mount Zion. Now, in Isaiah chapter 28, verse 16, It says, Thus says the Lord, Behold, I lay in Zion a foundation, a stone.

[4:30] I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone. There is a stone. Thank you, Jesus. There is a stone God said, I have laid in Zion. And that stone is meant to be your foundation. If you stand on that stone, you will not sink.

[4:43] If you stand on that stone concerning your children, concerning your finances, concerning your life, your career, your marriage, your health. He said, I lay in Zion. It is in Zion.

[4:54] If you go out of Zion, it's not in Zion. God said, I've laid in, I lay in Zion a foundation stone, a foundation stone. And he said, A tried stone, a precious Kabbalah, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.

[5:10] He that believes shall not make haste. In other words, if you can, as we read earlier, whosoever shall believe, shall believe in the Lord, shall not be put to shame.

[5:21] Here he said, If you believe, you shall not make haste. In other words, you will not even be in a rush to try and prove anything, because you are secured. Your future is secured. Now look at Isaiah, Romans chapter 9, verse 33.

[5:35] Same, similar. Romans 9, 33 said, For it, as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock of offense. Watch this. And whosoever believes on him, did you see that?

[5:47] Shall not be put to shame. In Isaiah, he said that, shall not make haste. Here, shall not be put to shame. You are believing in Jesus. He is the foundation stone. If you can put your faith in Jesus, if you can exercise.

[6:01] Sister, start to walk by faith. Start walking by faith. Brother, start walking by faith. I dare challenge you. Start, why are you so much afraid? There is a foundation stone in Zion.

[6:14] There is a cornerstone in Zion. Don't be afraid like someone who doesn't know God. Don't be afraid like someone who doesn't have a stone, a foundation stone. He said, it's a sure foundation. Isaiah 28.

[6:24] He said, it's a sure, it's a sure, a trine stone, precious stone, a sure foundation, a sure foundation. Don't be afraid. Just believe, because if you believe, you shall not be put to shame.

[6:39] Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. In the mighty name of Jesus. So shall it be.

[6:52] Isaiah chapter 49, verse 23. It says that, and kings shall be thy nursing mothers and their queens. Hey, they are queens.

[7:05] So the kings shall be thy fathers and their nursing fathers and their queens, thy nursing mothers. They shall bow down to thee with their faces towards the earth and lick the dust of your feet and lick up the dust of your feet.

[7:21] And thou shall know that I am, I am the Lord. For they shall not be put to shame. That, that, that what? That weight. He said, this is what's about to happen.

[7:34] Prominent people will be licking the dust of your feet. Doesn't mean literally. That means that you are, you'll be so high that people, people who will be serving you, you'll be surprised. He said, I will do this thing.

[7:46] He says that kings shall be your nursing fathers. Prominent people are the ones who are serving you and speaking for you and making sure you are okay. Prominent people, they are, they are, they are, they are, they are nursing mothers.

[7:59] They shall bow to the, they shall bow down to thee with their faces towards the earth. It's like the, the, the reference they have for you. It's like, you will be confused. Why? I believe that someone is about to step into the, why me?

[8:13] Oh Lord face. Well, good news. I'm talking about favor and glory. Best fault of your life. And I want to, but how, what have I done to deserve this? Yes. No, I, what have I done to deserve this?

[8:25] It's coming. Your face that, what have I done to deserve this face? It's coming. It's coming to somebody. It's coming. I believe it. I am cold. I shut. I do my tire.

[8:36] I believe it. It's coming to you. Whoever shall believe will not be put to shame. I believe you. What have I done to deserve this? Oh God. What have I done to deserve this? David said, David said, who am I?

[8:47] David said, who am I? And what is my house? That thou has favored me like this. Oh God, David. He said, what, who am I? And what is my house? That you have brought me this far.

[8:58] Who am I? Oh God. Who am I? And David the king, and the king went, then went King David in, and sat before the Lord, and said, who am I?

[9:08] Oh Lord. And what is my house? That thou has brought me this far. Give me King James. Give me, sorry, NIV. Give me NIV. NIV, please.

[9:18] Then David the king went in, and sat before the Lord, and said, who am I? Oh sovereign Lord. And what is my family? That you have brought me this far. What, what is my background? I don't deserve this.

[9:30] I don't deserve this. I don't deserve this. I believe, when we say, God, don't put me to shame. It is not just that he's sparing you from shame, but actually lifting you for promotion and honor.

[9:44] So it's one thing, God sparing you of shame. It's another thing, just, not just being spared shame, but being elevated. Joseph, Joseph was put into prison, but he wasn't just brought out of prison.

[9:55] No, no, no, no, no, please. Joseph was not brought out of prison, just like, okay, you are free. He wasn't freed from prison. He was elevated from prison. He wasn't freed from prison.

[10:06] He was elevated right from prison, straight to the throne, from prison to the throne. That is what I'm talking about. Where God will honor his name in your life. Where God will glorify his name in your life.

[10:18] I believe I am speaking to somebody. I'm speaking, my spirit is speaking to, I am prophesying to somebody. So shall he be in your life. I'm prophesying to you. So shall he be.

[10:29] Oh Lord, unto you do, I lift up my soul. Oh Lord, let me not be ashamed. And Lord, let not my enemies triumph on me. Let me show you one more scripture. Very powerful one. Last year, our key scripture for the year was Philippians chapter one, verse 21.

[10:45] It says, for me to live is Christ. To die is gain. But tonight, I want to draw your attention to the verse 20. Verse 20 says that, according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed.

[11:02] Did you see that? That's it. In nothing I shall be ashamed, by my boldness as always. So now also Christ shall be magnified. Magnified in my body.

[11:14] God, Christ will be glorified, whether in death or in life. Christ will be magnified. But this is my expectation that, in nothing I shall be ashamed. In nothing. In nothing I shall be ashamed.

[11:27] In nothing I shall. We want to use that as a prayer topic. Because it says that, kings shall save you. Their queens shall save you. And it says that, they will bow themselves to you.

[11:39] For they, the people, you will not be put to shame that wait on the Lord. We are going to stand on this, and pray that prayer. That in nothing I shall be ashamed, but I shall be honored.

[11:51] I see God visiting somebody in the name of Jesus. Well, in Hebrews chapter 11, verse 11, it says that through faith, somebody say through faith. In Hebrews chapter 11, verse 11, through faith, also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed.

[12:13] The, people receive strength to conceive seed. People conceive seed. So it's normal for a woman to conceive seed. But what made Sarah's situation different was, and she was delivered of a child when she was past age.

[12:29] The problem was the past ageness of Sarah's condition. There is a past ageness, ageness, concerning something that you are going through that looks like, practically impossible.

[12:41] Nothing will happen. no, no, no, no. Lazarus was four days in the tomb. Putrification has already set in.

[12:52] He has started decomposing. But Jesus waited for four days for the body to start decomposing, for putrification to set in. And he, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, he came out.

[13:06] So, your situation can be in a tomb. I'm telling you, it's, it's, the tomb is going to be the womb for your new face. Yes.

[13:18] Where the enemy thought you were going to be terminated, God is going to germinate you rather. Yes. What was meant to be your funeral will be your outdoor.

[13:29] You don't say the amen. That prophecy is happening already. Whatever the enemy has put in place to cause you sorrow.

[13:43] I see that same thing is bringing you laughter in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. You know, Balaam, Balaam hired Balaam.

[13:58] And he said, come and curse these people for me. And Bible says that he, Balaam, Balaam was, Balaam, Balaak, was observing to see the people going down because of their curse.

[14:13] But he rather saw them going up. And then he went to Balaam and said, Hey, I hired you to curse them, not to bless them. He said, it's not me. When I issue curse, it turns into blessing.

[14:26] When I issue curse, instead of them going down, they keep going up. God is converting. Oh, conversion system. Supernatural conversion system kicks into place. When they speak against you, God is convert, converting what I am saying into a blessing.

[14:40] I'm seeing the conversion working for you. They meant it to be your tomb. It's going to be a womb for your breakthrough. They meant it to be your termination. It's going to be germination for you.

[14:52] In the name of Jesus. They want it. They meant it to be sorrow for you, but it's going to be laughter and dancing for you. The Bible said, you turned my morning into dancing.

[15:04] You turned my morning into dancing. You turned my morning into dancing. Psalm 30, verse five, it says that we may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

[15:18] Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Psalm 30, verse 11. Psalm 30, verse 11 said, thank you, Lord. You turned my morning into dancing.

[15:31] He has turned for me, my morning. This one is not good morning, morning, morning. This morning, morning, my morning into dancing.

[15:42] It is the morning, M O R N, that overturns the season of M O U R N.

[15:55] The morning has come to end your morning. The morning, the morning for your dancing has come to turn your, your morning, the night season of your morning.

[16:13] In the name of he has put, he has put off my sackcloth and get dead me with gladness. Sackcloth. When in the Bible times, when they wear, they wear sackcloth. It's like when you are down to nothing, when you have been put to shame, when you are in trouble, when you are, you are stressed.

[16:30] And it's like everything, you've lost everything. You wear sackcloth. It's a sign of morning. You are morning. You are in sorrow and morning and wailing. It says that God has put off my sackcloth.

[16:43] And he has actually gathered me. He has clothed me. You know, he has clothed me with gladness. When you see me, you can see someone who is glad.

[16:54] No more morning. That's, I'm talking about you. Some today's prophetic scripture. Psalm 30 verse 11. Turn your morning into dancing.

[17:07] He has put off your sackcloth and gathered you with gladness. So you will not be put to shame. Yes, you, you will never see shame. As you walk, as you walk with God in obedience.

[17:20] Bible said by faith. All these things are functions of it. By faith, Sarah, by faith also, Sarah received strength. And, received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child.

[17:33] When she was past age. Why? Because she judged God faithful. Who has promised? Focused on the faithfulness of God. God is faithful. Even, don't worry about what you are seeing and what you don't see. Peter got distracted by the storm.

[17:45] Don't let the storms distract you. Hey, don't let the storms, those storms are passing. They are passing. Don't let, let me talk to somebody. Don't let the storms distract you.

[17:59] Don't allow the storm to distract you. People will be looking at you funny. It's the season of the storm, but it's passing very fast.

[18:11] Don't let the storm distract you. Peter started looking at the storm instead of looking at Jesus. Looking unto Jesus, the altar and the finisher of our faith. Looking unto Jesus.

[18:23] I know, sometimes, things look very, things can look very complex. Things can look very confusing. Perturbing. Unsettling. But you know what?

[18:35] Come to a conclusion that, come what may, the Lord is my portion in the land of the living. If God cannot do it, you have to come to the position where you say, if God cannot do it, may it not be done.

[18:49] And you have to come to the position that if God will do it, nothing can stop it. For Joseph to become a prime minister in a foreign land, and he was a prisoner just before he became prime minister, it wasn't like when he came, Potiphar's house, then promotion.

[19:03] No, he went down in obedience to God. Bible says in the book of Psalm 105, I think verse 18, 19, 20, Bible says that when the time came, when God's time came, when his time came, the king sent for him and released him.

[19:20] It's the timing of God. It's the timing of God. The king sent and released him. The ruler of the people let him go free. Verse 19, look at verse 19.

[19:32] Verse 19 says that until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. So sometimes what you are going through, you haven't seen the testimony the way you want, the way you think, is because you are being tested.

[19:47] Your faith is being tested. The trial of your faith produces patience. The word of God you claim to be holding on to is being tested. The word of God actually will test you. The word of the Lord, the word itself will test you to see if you are really holding on to the word or your eyes are on something else.

[20:07] That's the same thing Peter said to Jesus. He said, Jesus, if it's you, bid me to come. And Jesus gave him the word. Then he started walking on the water with the word. Matthew chapter 14, verse 28. Started walking on the water with the word.

[20:18] Then he began to look at the storm. The waves, there were boisterous. Then he feared and he began to sink. He should have kept his eyes on the word. I have a word for you. Don't fear.

[20:29] Stay in faith. Fight the good fight of faith. Whatever it takes. I know things look very funny. And sometimes you know, well, nothing will happen. Don't accept nothing will happen.

[20:41] Accept that your morning is being turned. Your morning is being turned into dancing. Your morning is turning into dancing. and weeping men dear for the night, but joy is coming in your morning.

[20:54] This is the morning season for you to experience gladness. I believe God is speaking to somebody. Don't be discouraged. Don't be afraid.

[21:05] Don't be discouraged. Set your face like a flint. Trust in God. Trust in God. Set your face. Your face is set. Your heart is, he said, my heart is fixed.

[21:17] Trust in the Lord. For I have set my face like a flint in Isaiah. He said, my heart is set. Trust in God. For the Lord will help me. Therefore, shall I not be confounded.

[21:28] Therefore, I have set my face like a flint. And I know that I shall not be put to shame. I shall not be ashamed. Set your face like a flint. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

[21:40] Don't be afraid. Because it's the dawning of a new day for somebody. Let me finish this. By faith, Sarah herself received strength to conceive when she was past age because she judged God faithful.

[21:55] Bible said, look at verse 12 as I end on verse 12. Bible says that therefore sprang there even of one as good as dead. Sarah was as good as dead. Sarah, she was as good as dead.

[22:08] But because she believed therefore sprang there even of one. So many as the stars of the sky of the sky in multitude as the sun.

[22:23] How come somebody who was as good as dead was able to produce all that that came something sprang out one that brought all. Why?

[22:34] Because she judged God faithful and she had faith in God's word. Have faith in God's word and God will deliver and you'll not be put to shame in Jesus name.
