Pastor George Pearsons

Sunday Outline – September 10, 2023

Pastor George ministered this past Sunday,

“We are The Untouchables!”


When the date September 11, 2001, is mentioned, for those old enough, it invokes memories of where they were on that day. Pastor George shared a group he was with was heading back from an Israel tour which was rerouted to Ireland. Several days later when they were able to take a flight returning to the States through Atlanta; upon arrival to the States the airline employees were welcoming passages back to the U.S. with flags.


The enemy would like to tell you that you are unprotected and open to all his attacks and this world’s ways – but that is not true.


1 John 5:18;

“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.”


This verse is a Covenant of protection that the wicked one will not touch us.  There is NO fear here – in our life, in our home, and family.


From 1959 to 1963, there was a show called, “The Untouchables.”


The show fictionalized the experiences of Eliot Ness as a prohibition agent in the 1930s. They took down the bootleg empires of Al Capone and many other gangsters.


They were named, “The Untouchables.” because of their courage, integrity, and the fact they could not be intimidated or bribed by the mob.

Can you see yourself in the 'picture' as an Untouchable?

Proverbs 19:23; (NIV)

“The fear of the LORD leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.”


(NLT) “Fear of the LORD leads to life, bringing security and protection from harm.”


(AMPC) “The reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it rests satisfied; he cannot be visited with [actual] evil.”


Jesus was an Untouchable.

1. Jesus had an assignment to fulfill.

2. Jesus honored His father and stayed protected.


Luke 4:28-39; (NIV)

“All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff. But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.”

Jesus is walking through the crowd.


John 8:58-59; 

“Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.”


Colossians 3:3 

“For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”

Hidden (Greek): To conceal by covering; to keep secret.

We are invisible to spectators, and invisible to the enemy when we are in Christ, and have applied His blood.


(MSG) “Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life -even though invisible to spectators – is with Christ in God. He is your life.”

Jesus was hidden and protected in plain sight – and so are we!


No Weapon Formed Against Us.

Isaiah 54:13-17; (NKJV) 

“All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.”


We are not subject to the collateral damage of the world. As a believer and part of the Church, we are living in the land of Goshen, even though Egypt is near. We do not have targets attached to us just waiting to be randomly picked off by some terrorist or insane shooter.


We have a Covenant of Protection with Almighty God.


Psalm 27:5-6;

“For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.”


Build Yourself an Ark: A Blueprint for Deliverance from Danger” (Note: This book is now called, "Your Promise of Protection.")

by Gloria Copeland.

Noah knew there was a flood coming. He wasn’t in the dark of what was coming, He was in the ark.

We build an ark by building on scriptures of deliverance, and we don’t wait until the flood waters start to come.


Pastor George shared he was driving along and began to drive slower. Moments later a car was speeding through the intersection being chased by the Police. If he had continued at the regular speed, he would have been struck.  This is God’s walls of protection – His fortress around us.


WE ARE THE UNTOUCHABLES!

The Four Walls of Protection in Psalm 91 (KJV)


DECLARATION.

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.

Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Wall of Protection

#1 – The Word

V.4 Thy Word is TRUTH.     That is our protection – His Truth.

 

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy word: thy word is truth

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Wall of Protection

#2 – The Blood

V.10 No plague because the blood of Jesus is over us. Whenever we take communion, we are painting the doorposts of the temple.

 

Exodus 12:13;

“And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the PLAGUE shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

 

11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Wall of Protection

#3 – Heavenly Angels

 

14 Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Wall of Protection

#4 – The Name

 

Philippians 2:9-11; (NKJV)

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 

WE ARE THE UNTOUCHABLES!
