And my 47 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: brother Paul gave me this joke. I would never normally 48 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: tell it. It's way too corny, but you can blame him. 49 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 3: But I heard about this blonde lady. She was outside 50 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 3: doing yard work with her weed eater when she accidentally 51 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 3: cut off her cat's tail. He was in the bushes. 52 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: She didn't see him. She felt so badly. She grabbed 53 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 3: the tail, grabbed the cat, said to her friend, I'm 54 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: going to Walmart. Her friend said, Walmart. While Walmart, she said, hello, 55 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: They're the biggest retailer in the world. Hold up your bible. 56 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: Blame him, not me. Say it like you mean it. 57 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today we talk the 60 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 3: word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, 61 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 62 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 63 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: to you today about staying in peace. We all have 64 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: opportunities to get worried and go around upset and frustrated, offended, 65 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: somebody's not treating us right. We're dealing with the health issue, 66 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: the project's taking a lot longer than we thought. Life happens, 67 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: and God never promised that we wouldn't have challenges and 68 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: everything will always go smoothly. No, the storms of life 69 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: come to every person. But God did promise that we 70 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: can have peace in the midst of the storm. And 71 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 3: just because we're in a stressful situation doesn't mean that 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: we have to get stressed out. Just because the medical 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: report wasn't good or your plans didn't work out, doesn't 74 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: mean that you have to be frustrated. You may be 75 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: in the storm. The key is don't let the storm 76 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: get in you. A boat can be surrounded by water, 77 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: sailing through a vast ocean, water for miles in every direction. 78 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: It's not any problem unless the boat starts taking on 79 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: the water. If the boat starts allowing the ocean on 80 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: the inside, before long, it will sink. And it's the 81 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 3: same principle in life. You can have trouble all around 82 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 3: you at the office, people gossiping, playing politics at school, 83 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: somebody trying to make you look bad. At home, raising 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: a difficult child, stress frustration, worry, it's all around you. 85 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: But the good news is, just like the boat, you 86 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: don't have to allow what's on the outside to get 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: on the inside. Just because you're surrounded by a situation 88 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: that should be frustrating, Joel, they're talking about me. I 89 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: should be offended. Traffic's taken twice as long as normal. 90 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: I should be upset. No, don't let the storm get in. 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 3: You don't start taking on the water if you're controlled 92 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: by your circumstances. Up when things are up, down, when 93 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: things don't go your way. Life is going to be 94 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 3: a roller coaster. God wants you to be stable, consistent, 95 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: not moved by any of these things. And when you 96 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: face an adversity, when you hit a tough time, one 97 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: of the best things you can do is simply stay calm, 98 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: keep your peace. When you're in peace, that's a position 99 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: of power. You're saying with your actions, God, I trust you. 100 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: I know you're still on the throne. This may be difficult, 101 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 3: but I know you're fighting my battles. When you're in peace, 102 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: you're showing God by your actions that you're trusting him. 103 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: The scripture says those who have have believed enter in 104 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: to rest. Notice when you're really believing there's a rest, Well, 105 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: you didn't get the promotion, aren't you upset? You were 106 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: the most qualified. No, I'm at peace. I know God 107 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 3: has something better. Promotion doesn't come from people. Promotion comes 108 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: from the Lord. When it's my time to be promoted, 109 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: I will be promoted. That's what it means to stay 110 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: at rest. Some of you have been on that roller 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: coaster for a long time, allowing your circumstances to determine 112 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: whether or not you're going to be happy. You need 113 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 3: to put your foot down and say that's it. From 114 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 3: now on, I'm keeping my peace. I'm not going to 115 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: allow what's on the outside to get on the inside. 116 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 3: I'm not going to keep letting the same people frustrate me, 117 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: the same circumstances upset me. I'm going to enter in 118 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 3: to that place of rest that not only allows God 119 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: to work in your life, but it's better for your health. 120 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: We were never created to live uptight, worried, stressed out. 121 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: That weakens our immune system. It won't fight off diseases 122 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: like it should. The reason some people can't overcome an illness. 123 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: They're always tired, run down. They don't have any energy. 124 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: It's because they worry all the time. On the inside, 125 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: they're constantly wrought up. Even when they go to bed 126 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: at night, their mind is still going ninety to nothing 127 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: thinking about that problem, What if I can't make that payment. 128 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: All that time you spend worrying, you are draining your energy. 129 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 3: It's making your weaker, taking your creativity. You don't do 130 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: your best work when you're worried. You don't make good 131 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: decisions when you're stressed out. The scripture even says you 132 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: cannot add one inch to your height by worrying. If 133 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: we could, some of us would be twenty feet tall. 134 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 3: We've worried so long. Worry is like a rock and chair. 135 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 3: You're always moving, but you're never going anywhere. When God 136 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: created Adam, he put him in the garden of Eden, 137 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: a very quiet, peaceful, tranquil place. That's where God met 138 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: him and spoke with him, at a place of peace. 139 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: In life, it can be very noisy if we allow it. 140 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: All of us can live stressed, uptied, in a hurry 141 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: on edge. But in all the busyness, the bills to pay, 142 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: the deadlines at the office, the children, to raise, the 143 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: problems we're concerned about in the midst of the hectic society. 144 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 3: We've got to learn to not let the busyness, the frustration, 145 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: the stress to get on the inside. May be very 146 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: hectic on the outside, but deep down in your spirit person, 147 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: there needs to be a calmness, a rest to where 148 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: you know God has you in the palm of his hand. 149 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 3: You know no weapon formed against you will ever prosper. 150 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: Ripture says, be still and know that I am God. 151 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: And some of you have been worried for a long time, 152 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 3: stress because a dream hasn't come to pass, Upset over 153 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: a challenge you're dealing with. You can't sleep at night. 154 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: It's taking your joy. But just like God met Adam 155 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 3: at a place of peace, God is saying, there may 156 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: be trouble turmoil all around on the outside, but if 157 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: you'll come back to that place of peace on the inside. 158 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 5: I will meet you there. I will give you wisdom, 159 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 5: I will give you strength. I will turn that situation around. 160 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 5: God meets us when we're in peace. I've been in 161 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 5: a hurricane before. 162 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: In the center of the hurricane, there's something called the 163 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: eye of the storm, where it's very calm and peaceful. 164 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: All around there's chaos, winds blowing one hundred plus miles 165 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 3: an hour, debris flying left and right, danger everywhere. But 166 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: as long as you're in the eye, it's as calm 167 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: and peaceful as can be in life. There will be 168 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 3: times where it seems like everything is out of control. 169 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: My child's acting up, my company's talking about laying people off, 170 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: my loved ones about to pass, challenges, adversities, stress will come. 171 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 3: But just like with the eye of the storm, in 172 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: the midst of that difficulty, there's a place of peace 173 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: that you can go to. The Scripture calls it the 174 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 3: peace that passes all understanding. That means you'll have peace 175 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: when you should be upset. You'll have peace when really 176 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: you should be stressed out. Remember when my father went 177 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: to be with the Lord nineteen ninety nine. That was 178 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 3: the most difficult thing that I had ever faced. Suddenly 179 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: I lost my best friend. We had all these questions, 180 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: what's going to happen to the church? What if people 181 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 3: don't keep coming? The critics said, we'd never make it 182 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 3: without my father. The winds, the rains were very strong, 183 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: But in the midst of that storm, I felt this 184 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: indescribable peace. I should have been worried but I wasn't. 185 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: I should have been stressed out, depressed, but I wasn't. 186 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: Why I was in the eye of the storm. I 187 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 3: chose to enter that place of rest. I said, God, 188 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: we know you're still on the throne. This may be 189 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: a surprise to us, but God, we know it's not 190 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: a surprise to you. When you stay calm in the 191 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 3: midst of the storm, you will feel a peace that 192 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: passes all understanding, a peace that doesn't even make sense. 193 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 3: One time Jesus was on a boat asleep. This huge 194 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 3: storm arose. The disciples were so afraid, so distraught, they 195 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 3: ran in frantically said Jesus, wake up, we're all about 196 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: to die. Jesus got up and simply spoke to the storm. 197 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 3: He said, peace be still. Instantly everything calmed down. The 198 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: reason Jesus could bring peace to that situation was because 199 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 3: he had peace on the inside. He was in the storm, 200 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 3: but he didn't let the storm get in him. And 201 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: if you get upset, been out of shape every time 202 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: things don't go your way, you can't bring peace to 203 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: that situation. Peace is not the absence of trouble. Peace 204 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 3: is not getting rid of all your enemies and overcoming 205 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: all your challenges, paying off all your bills. Now, there 206 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 3: can be trouble, conflict, challenges all around you on the outside, 207 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: but real peace is not allowing it on the inside. 208 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: I read about this contest where whoever painted the picture 209 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: that displayed peace in the greatest, most compelling way would 210 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 3: win the prize. Now were all these paintings of very beautiful, 211 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: peaceful scenery, the sun setting over an ocean, palm trees 212 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: blowing in the wind, so peaceful. It was a pasture scene, 213 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: These rolling lush green hills, white picket fence, beautiful lake 214 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: in the background. One was a winter scene with fresh snow, 215 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: a small log cabin you could see through the window 216 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: the fireplace, majestic mountains in the background. Looked so warm 217 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 3: and cozy. But the painting that won first prize was 218 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 3: a picture of a huge storm, Lightning flashing across the sky, 219 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: rain coming down, wind, blowing the trees. It looked just 220 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: the opposite of peace. But over in the corner, in 221 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: the cleft of a rock, there was a bird in 222 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: her nest. Tucked Away underneath her outstretched wings were six 223 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 3: of her baby herbs. In the midst of this huge storm, 224 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: they were just sitting there as calm and as peaceful 225 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: as can be. See, peace is not the absence of trouble. 226 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: Peace is knowing God is right there with you in 227 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: the midst of the trouble. It talks about in Psalms, 228 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: how God will cover us under his wings, God will 229 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: hide us in the rock. What am I saying? Don't 230 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 3: wait for all your problems to resolve and then you'll 231 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: decide to quit worrying, Joel. As soon as the traffic 232 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: gets better, soon as my boss retires, soon as my 233 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: husband straightens up. If you have that attitude, there will 234 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 3: always be something to keep you upset, frustrated, offended, discouraged. No, 235 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: make up your mind, you're going to have peace right 236 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: in the midst of the storm. You've heard the saying 237 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 3: Still waters run deep in the ocean. On the surface, 238 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: the water is always changing, depending on the wind, the tide, 239 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 3: what time of year, even what time of day. It 240 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: can be very smooth and calm. Later in the day 241 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: it can be rough and choppy. When the wind is 242 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: strong and the tide is just right, there can be 243 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: ten foot waves where a few days earlier it was 244 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 3: just small white caps. What's interesting is if you go 245 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 3: down about thirty feet deep, the water never changes. It's 246 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 3: as calm and still as can be right above it. 247 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: On the surface, it may change a dozen times a day, 248 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 3: but thirty feet down never changes, always calm. That's the 249 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: way we need to be in life. On the surface, 250 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: things will always be going on, waves, wind, sometimes bigger 251 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: than other. You can't get away from all the traffic, 252 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 3: or a person that irritates you, a challenge in your relationship, 253 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: in your health. That's just life that will create waves 254 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 3: up on the surface. But deep down in that spirit person, 255 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: you've got to have a calmness, a peace in your spirit. 256 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 3: The scripture says in quietness and calmness will be by strength. 257 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 3: But when you're worried, you're moved by every circumstance, upset 258 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 3: because you're not getting your way offended what a neighbor said. 259 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: Then you're living a very shallow life. You're focused on 260 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 3: the surface. The problem is you don't control the wind. 261 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: You can't control the tide. In other words, you don't 262 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 3: control what other people do. You can't control what your 263 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 3: neighbor says, or even what battles you fight. Really, the 264 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 3: only thing we can control is our own attitude. Life 265 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent 266 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 3: how you respond. If you worry all the time, get 267 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 3: upset every time the traffic is bad, and frustrated because 268 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 3: you have an unexpected bill. My encouragement to you today 269 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: is go deeper. The surface is always going to be changing. 270 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 3: You'll never get away from the test, the challenges, the adversities. 271 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 3: As long as you're alive, there'll be something to deal with. 272 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: But when you learn to go down to the deep waters, 273 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 3: you have this calmness, this rest. You know what's on 274 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 3: the surface is only temporary. A big wave hits you 275 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 3: in your marriage, in your finances, in the natural. You 276 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 3: should be upset. On the surface it looks big, insurmountable, 277 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: but deep down you've got a piece a calmness. You 278 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 3: know this too shall pass. That's what happened to three 279 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 3: teenagers in the scripture Shadrack Mijak of Bendigo. They wouldn't 280 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 3: bow down to the king's golden idol. They were about 281 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: to be thrown into a fiery furnace. The king threatened 282 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 3: them one last time. If you don't bow, this is it. 283 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 3: Your life is going to be over. You'd think they'd 284 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: be upset discouraged, all devastated. No, they were in the storm, 285 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 3: but they didn't let the storm get in them. They 286 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: knew God had them in the palm of his hand. Listen. 287 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 3: The enemy cannot stop God's destiny for your life. He's 288 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 3: not in control. God is in control. Satan had to 289 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: ask permission to even test job. God has a hedge 290 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: of protection around you. Nothing can happen without God's permission, 291 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: and God will not allow a difficulty unless he has 292 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 3: a divine purpose for it. If you'll keep your peace, 293 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: you'll pass the test, and God will bring you out 294 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: better than you were before. The Israelites were facing an 295 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 3: impossible situation. God told them hold your peace, remain at rest, 296 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: and I will fight your battles. Notice there was a 297 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 3: condition something we have to do. Hold your peace. That 298 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 3: indicates something's trying to take it away. Thoughts of wordy fear, anxiety. 299 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: What if it doesn't happen? What am I going to do? 300 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: If you can just stay in peace, the creator of 301 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 3: the universe, the most High God, will go to work 302 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: in your behalf. Nothing can stand against our God. He 303 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 3: has all power. He stopped the sun for Joshua. He 304 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 3: closed the mouths of hungry lions for Daniel. He healed 305 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 3: my mother of terminal cancer. He gave us this building 306 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: when it looked impossible. Whatever you face in life, if 307 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 3: you will just hold your peace, remain at rest, God 308 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 3: promises he will fight your battles. He will make a 309 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 3: way even when you don't see away. Shadrak me jack 310 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: abid to go. They should have been afraid, should have 311 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 3: been distraught, but they understood this principle. They said, King, 312 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: we're not going to bow down to your idol. Even 313 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: if you throw us into the furnace. We're not worried. 314 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 3: We know our God will deliver us, and even if 315 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: he doesn't, we're still not going to bow down. They 316 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 3: were saying. If it happens our way, great, but if 317 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 3: it doesn't work out the way we wanted, we're still 318 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 3: going to stay in peace. I like that, Joel. I'm 319 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 3: believing to get healed, but even if I don't, I'm 320 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 3: still in peace. I know when I die, I'm going 321 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: to go to heaven and be with the Lord. That's 322 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 3: not too bad that person at the office that gets 323 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: on my nerves. If God removes them, fine, If God 324 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: chooses to leave them, fine, I'm still going to stay 325 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 3: in peace. When you have a made up mind that 326 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 3: no matter what life deals your way, you're going to 327 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: stay calm and in peace, all the forces of darkness 328 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: cannot keep you from your destiny. This is what the 329 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 3: apostle Paul did. All kinds of things came against him. 330 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: He was shipwrecked, went days without food or water, he 331 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: was beaten with rods, falsely accused, put into prison. Yet 332 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 3: he said, none of these things move me. Paul wasn't 333 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 3: living on the surface. He was stable, consistent, living in 334 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: the deep waters. That's the attitude we need to have. 335 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 3: None of these things move me. Business is a little slow. 336 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: I'm not moved by it, not losing any sleep. I 337 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 3: know Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord, my provider. He is supplying 338 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 3: all of my needs. Traffic's backed up. I'm not moved 339 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 3: by it. My steps are ordered by the Lord. Somebody's 340 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 3: talking about me. Not move by it. That's a small 341 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 3: wave that's on the surface. I'm in the deep waters. 342 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 3: Well I heard you got a bad medical report. Yes, 343 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: that's true, but I'm not moved by it. I know 344 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: God made my body the number of my days he 345 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 3: will fulfill. Well, I saw your son got into trouble again. Yes, 346 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 3: but I'm not moved by it. It's only temporary. As 347 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 3: for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Lord. 348 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 3: Some of you today would go to a new level 349 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 3: if you would quit letting so many things move you. 350 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 3: Life is too short to live it offended, upset, stressed out, discouraged. 351 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 3: Every day is a gift from God. Before you leave 352 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 3: the house, you need to make up your mind. Nothing 353 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 3: is going to move me today. Nothing's going to upset me. 354 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 3: The traffic, the weather, what somebody says a delay, a disappointment. 355 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: My plans may not work out. But I know this. 356 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 3: My God is still on the throne, and if he 357 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 3: before me, who dared be against me? The scripture talks 358 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 3: about putting on the armor of God. One piece of 359 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 3: that armor is our shoes of peace. When you get 360 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 3: up in the morning, you need to make sure to 361 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: put your shoes on. You've got to prepare ahead of 362 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 3: time that nothing is going to frustrate you. Your child 363 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 3: forgets his lunch, You've got to run back to the school, 364 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 3: and it stresses you out. What's the problem your barefoot? 365 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 3: You forgot to put your shoes on at the grocery store. 366 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 3: Somebody's rude to you, You're about to be rude back 367 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 3: to them. No quit leaving the house barefoot. Make sure 368 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 3: you put your shoes a peace on every morning. Victoria 369 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: and I and our children went to Australia not long 370 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 3: ago to hold a night of hope. And it was 371 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 3: a sixteen hour flight over there. And before we left, 372 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: someone gave us a small bag of toiletries as a gift, 373 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: had a toothbrush in it and mouth wash, earplugs, things 374 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: you might need on a long flight. About thirty minutes 375 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 3: before we landed in Sydney, Victoria opened hers up and 376 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 3: got out this small aerosol can look like that kind 377 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 3: of water you spray on your face to freshen up. 378 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 3: She leaned over to me and gonna use me as 379 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 3: the guinea pig. Joy, you want some of this? And 380 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 3: I said no, Victoria, I don't want any. Oh come on, Joey, 381 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 3: it'll make you feel good. Just try something, I said, Victoria, 382 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: I don't want any Oh, Joy, it'll just freshen up. 383 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 3: Come on, try it, said Victoria. I do not want 384 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 3: you that in my face. She said, okay. She started 385 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 3: spreading it all over her face. And saying real dramatically, Oh, 386 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: this feels so good. She sprays some more, Oh, Joe, 387 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 3: you don't know what you're missing, on and on, over dramatic. 388 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 3: At that time, I smell something really strange, I said, Victoria, 389 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: are you sure that's water? It smells like perfume. She 390 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: touched her face. She said, I don't know. It's sticky too, 391 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 3: and said, give me that bottle. It's all in another language. 392 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 3: The only thing I could read right at the very bottom, 393 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: it said spray deodorant. She said, what am I going 394 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 3: to do? I said, keep your peace. When you live right, 395 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 3: God will protect you, even from your wife. Two Timothy 396 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 3: Ford says, be calm, cool and steady, unflinchingly endure hardships. 397 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 3: I like that word. Unflinchingly. Somebody says something derogatory about you, 398 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 3: don't even flinch, don't blin don't let it phase you. 399 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: I got my shoes a peace on, plus I got 400 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 3: my earplugs in. You didn't get a good report about 401 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 3: your health. Don't fall apart, ah Man, I've been praying, 402 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 3: I've been eating right. I don't understand, jo I'm so upset. 403 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 3: Don't flinch. Tap into the deep waters. That's the surface 404 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 3: waves come and go. Be calm, cool and steady. That's 405 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: not just being tough. That's showing God that you're trusting him. 406 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 3: You applied for the loan, it didn't go through. Don't flinch. 407 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 3: God knows what he's doing. You had big plans, they 408 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: got canceled. Don't flinch. It's only a test. You thought 409 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 3: that person you were dating was the right one didn't 410 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 3: work out. Don't flinch. God has somebody better in store. See, 411 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 3: it's one thing to go through a difficulty and everybody 412 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: knows about it. Your family's praying, friends are cheering your own, 413 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 3: Your coworkers are standing with you. Wrong with that. We 414 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 3: certainly need each other. But when you go through a 415 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: difficulty and nobody knows anything about it, You've still got 416 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 3: a smile on your face. You're still being good to people. 417 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 3: You're still singing in the choir, you're still giving it 418 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 3: your all at the office. The enemy did his best, 419 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: but you didn't flinch. You didn't have a nervous breakdown. 420 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 3: You didn't get bitter. You didn't give up on your marriage. 421 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 3: You didn't drop out a church, you didn't quit dreaming. 422 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 3: You kept being your best. God is saying, because you 423 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 3: have endured unflinchingly, I'm about to turn that situation around. 424 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 3: I'm about to restore what's been stolen. I'm about to 425 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: show you healing, favor, promotion, breakthroughs like you've never seen. 426 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 3: When you endure unflinchingly, the creator of the universe goes 427 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 3: to work. Some of you have been in a difficulty 428 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 3: for a long time, and you're wondering if it's ever 429 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 3: going to change it to get better. God made a 430 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: promise in Exodus thirty three. He's saying it to you, 431 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 3: I will give you rest. Everything will be fine for you. 432 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 3: Let those words sink down into your spirit. Everything will 433 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 3: be fine. Your marriage may be a little rocky right now, 434 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 3: don't worry about it. Everything will turn out fine. Your 435 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: child may be off course, keep your peace. God's working 436 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 3: behind the scenes. Everything will be fine. You may be 437 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: struggling in your finances. You don't see how you're going 438 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 3: to make it. Listen, God feeds the birds of the air. 439 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 3: How much more is he going to take care of you? 440 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: Everything will be fine. Maybe you went through a loss, 441 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: a disappointment. The future doesn't look very bright. Stay at rest. 442 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 3: A new beginning is coming. Everything will be fine. Friends. 443 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: We don't really know what the future holds, but we 444 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 3: do know who holds the future. God had you in 445 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: the palm of his hand. Nothing can snatch you away. 446 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 3: The storms of life come to every person. My challenge today, 447 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 3: don't let the storm get in you. Hold your peace. 448 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: Remain at rest. That's your position of power. When you're 449 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: in peace, the creator of the universe goes to work. 450 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 3: Before you leave the house each day, make up your mind. 451 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 3: Nothing's going to move me today, nothing is going to 452 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 3: upset me. If you do this, you'll not only live healthier, 453 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 3: but God promises he will show up, fight your battles, 454 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 3: turn situations around.
