36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 5: about these two brothers, ages four and six. They were

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 5: spending the night at their grandmother's house. She told them

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 5: before they went to bed to make sure they said

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 5: their prayers. They went in the bedroom, got down on

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 5: their knees, and the youngest brother started praying at the

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 5: top of his lungs. God, I pray for a new

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: bicycle I pray for a new PlayStation. I pray for

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 5: a new puppy. His brother stopped him and said, why

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 5: are you screaming? God isn't death? He said, I know that,

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 5: but grandmother is say it like you mean it. This

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 5: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

51
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about surrounded by the most high.

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 5: We all have times where we feel like we're surrounded

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 5: by difficulties, surrounded by sickness, surrounded by death. Everywhere we turn,

56
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 5: it's facing us, and it's easy to get discouraged and

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 5: think I'll get out of this.

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,279
Speaker 6: It has me surrounded.

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: That's the way a young man felt in Second Kings,

60
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: chapter six. The King of Aram had just sent a

61
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 5: great army with horses and chariots to surround Elisha's house.

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: They snuck up in the middle of the night and

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 5: had it totally encircled. The next morning, when the young

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 5: men went out, saw all the horses and chariots.

65
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 6: He nearly passed out.

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: He ran back in, totally panicked, said, Elisha, wake up,

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 5: We're surrounded by the enemy.

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 6: What are we going to do? Elisha said, don't be afraid.

69
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 5: There are more for us than there are against us.

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: I can hear him saying, what do you mean, Elisha,

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 5: just you and me. I saw thousands of them, Elisha prayed,

72
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: Lord opened his eyes and let him see. All of

73
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: a sudden, the young man looked out and saw hundreds

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: of thousands of powerful, warring angels all across the mountain side,

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: standing beside their chariots afire. He thought he was surrounded

76
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 5: by the enemy. The truth is the enemy was surrounded.

77
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: By our God. Like him.

78
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: You may be surrounded by trouble, surrounded by sickness, surrounded

79
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 5: by an addiction. But what you can't see is the

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 5: most high God is surrounding what's surrounding you. Sickness may

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: be surrounding you. You're dealing with an illness. The good

82
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 5: news is sickness doesn't have the final say sickness is

83
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: surrounded The right attitude is cancer. You think you have

84
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: me surrounded, you better look again. My God has you

85
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: surrounded that you think you're surrounding me. I have bad

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: news for you. The Lord, my provider, is surrounding you.

87
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: Trouble at work. You think you're going to keep me

88
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: from my purpose, depression, you think you're going to stop

89
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 5: my destiny. You may have me, I'll give you that much,

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: but I know a secret. The most High God.

91
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 6: Is surrounding you.

92
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 5: When you understand God is surrounding what's surrounding you, you

93
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 5: won't go around discourage because of problems, worried about finances,

94
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 5: upset because somebody's against you.

95
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 6: You'll be like Elisha.

96
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: You'll stay in peace, knowing that there are more for

97
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: you than there are against you. Elisha prayed that God

98
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 5: would open the young man's eyes so he could see

99
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 5: there's another world that we cannot see with our physical eyes.

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 5: If God were to pull back the curtain like he

101
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: did for this young man, and you could see into

102
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: the unseen realm, you would see all these powerful, warring

103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: angels at work on your behalf standing guard protecting you,

104
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 5: pushing back.

105
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 6: Forces of darkness.

106
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: You would see God moving the wrong people out of

107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: the way, lining up things in your face, good breaks.

108
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 6: Healing, deliverance. Don't get discouraged by what you see with

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 6: your physical eyes.

110
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 5: If you stay focused on the opposition, the addiction, the sickness,

111
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 5: then you'll live stressed out.

112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 6: You'll give up on dreams.

113
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 5: Through your eyes of faith, you need to see every

114
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 5: obstacle holding you back surrounded by the most high. That

115
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 5: addiction may be strong, but it's surrounded by something stronger.

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 5: God controls the universe. He flung stars into space. One

117
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: angel in the Old Testament defeated one hundred and eighty

118
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 5: thousand of the enemies of God. You may have big

119
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: obstacles in your path, you feel stuck.

120
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 6: I believe today God is opening our eyes.

121
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 5: We're getting a new perspective, recognizing He's surrounding what's surrounding us.

122
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 6: That child that off course.

123
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: Does it look like he'll fulfill his destiny. Imagine him

124
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 5: surrounded by mercy, surrounded by favor, surrounded by the most time.

125
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 5: David said in Psalm three, I am not afraid of

126
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 5: ten thousand enemies that.

127
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 6: Surround me on every side. You would think with so

128
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 6: many enemies, he'd be a little worried, upset, afraid.

129
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 5: He went on to say, I know victory comes from

130
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: the Lord. He was saying, yes, I'm surrounded by all

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 5: these enemies.

132
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 6: I could be overwhelmed.

133
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 5: But the reason I'm not falling apart is I know

134
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: a secret God is surrounding what's surrounding me. He had

135
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: his spiritual eyes open. He didn't just see his enemies

136
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 5: through his eyes of faith. He saw the most high

137
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 5: fighting his battles, making his crooked places strife. Like David,

138
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: you may feel surrounded by enemies, addictions, sicknesses. Maybe forces

139
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 5: are kind to keep you from your dreams.

140
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 6: It easy to think, well, it's just not meant to be.

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 6: But here's the key. What you see with your physical

142
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 6: eyes is not the only thing surrounding you.

143
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: If you'll open your eyes of faith, you'll recognize the trouble,

144
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 5: the addiction, the dysfunction. It is surrounded by our God.

145
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: You're not just surrounded by the negative. That's one layer,

146
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: but God supersedes that. You're surrounded by fever, surrounded by healing,

147
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 5: surrounded by victory. I saw a movie one time, based

148
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 5: on a true story from back in the seventeen hundreds.

149
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 5: This army had surrounded a city. They were planning to

150
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: attack it. They were very strategic to go completely around

151
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: it to make sure nobody could get out.

152
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 6: They cut off the food supply, and.

153
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 5: We're going to wait several weeks until the people were

154
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: famished and then go in.

155
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 6: And this army was very arrogant, cocky people.

156
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 5: They would stand outside the city walls and hurl ins,

157
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 5: make fun, trying to get the people to engage. A

158
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: month later they decided to attack. They rushed into the

159
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: city so confidently. The only problem was nobody was there.

160
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 5: When they turned to leave, they suddenly realized they.

161
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: Were the one surrounded.

162
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 5: The people in the city received word that they were

163
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 5: going to attack. They snuck out before they got there

164
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: and went and hid in the hills while the enemy

165
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 5: was surrounding the city. Being so strategic, thinking they were

166
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: gaining the upper hand, the people from the city were

167
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 5: surrounding them. When they realized they were totally surrounded, they

168
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: put up the white flag, dropped their weapons, surrendered.

169
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 6: When you're in difficult times, the enemy.

170
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 5: Will do a lot of talking. He'll tell you I

171
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 5: have you surrounded. This sickness will be the end.

172
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 6: You'll never get out, you'll never break the addiction, you'll

173
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 6: never get out of debt. Look how long you've been there.

174
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 5: Don't believe those lies. He thinks he has you surrounded.

175
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 5: What he doesn't realize is the most high God has

176
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 5: him surrounded.

177
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 6: God knows everything that's going to happen.

178
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 5: He knows every attack, every disappointment, every unfair situation. When

179
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 5: you feel like you're surrounded, you have to come back

180
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: to that place of peace and say, I know my

181
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 5: God is still on the throne. He's bigger than this sickness,

182
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 5: greater than this addiction, more powerful than these enemies. This

183
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 5: is what the three Hebrew teenagers did in the scripture.

184
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 5: They wouldn't bow down to King Nebuchaonezzar's golden idol.

185
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 6: He was so.

186
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: Upset he said, I'm going to give you one last chance.

187
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 5: Either bow down or you're going to be thrown into

188
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 5: a fiery furnace. They said, King, no disrespect to you,

189
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: but we're not going to bow down to your idol.

190
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 5: We know our God will deliver us, but even if

191
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 5: he doesn't, we're still to bow down. They were saying,

192
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 5: you can't stop God's plan for our life.

193
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: You can throw us in the fire.

194
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: We may be surrounded by that fire, but we know

195
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 5: our God is surrounding the fire.

196
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 6: If it's not our time to go. We're not going

197
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 6: to go.

198
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 5: The king was so furious he had the furnace heated

199
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 5: seven times hotter than normal. The teenagers were tied up

200
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: and thrown into the furnace. They weren't bitter, complaining God,

201
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 5: why'd you let this happen?

202
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 6: They stayed in peace.

203
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 5: A little later, the king went to check on them.

204
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 5: He looked through the window in the furnace and said.

205
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 6: Didn't we throw three men in bound?

206
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 5: I see four men loosed, and one looks like the

207
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 5: son of God. You may feel like you're in the

208
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 5: fire today. You've had a disappointment. You don't see how

209
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 5: it could work out. The good news is you're not

210
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 5: in there by yourself. The God who controls the fire,

211
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: that fourth man is right.

212
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 6: There with you.

213
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: This is the beauty of our God. He doesn't leave

214
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: us in tough times. He comes into the fire with us.

215
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 5: The king thought, throwing them into the furnace, surrounding them

216
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 5: by fire, surely that would be the end.

217
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 6: What he didn't realize.

218
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 5: Is the God who created the fire, the god who

219
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 5: controls the universe, he has the final say. What's surrounding

220
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 5: you may seem big, strong, insurmountable. But our God is

221
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 5: all powerful. That sickness may look like it's the end.

222
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: But when God says live, you're going to live. That

223
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 5: addiction may look permanent, thoughts tell you you'll never break it.

224
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 5: God is saying you're not going to stay in that fire.

225
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 5: That addiction is not how your story ends. The Fourth

226
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 5: Man is about to show up. Things are about to

227
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 5: change in your favor. What you thought was going to

228
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 5: stop you instead is going to promote you. When Nebuchnezar

229
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: saw that the teenagers were still alive, he couldn't believe it.

230
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 5: He shouted, shadrak me jaka Bendigo, servants of the Most

231
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 5: High God, come out.

232
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 6: Of that fire.

233
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 5: A few minutes earlier, he was telling them to bow

234
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 5: to his golden idol. Now he's calling them servants of

235
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 5: the Most High God. Sometimes God will allow the fire

236
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 5: just so other people.

237
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 6: Will see he is God. He'll use you as an example.

238
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 5: They may not believe before, but when they see God

239
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 5: show out in your life, when they see you beat

240
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 5: the cancer, break the addiction, set a new standard, go

241
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 5: where you've never dreamed, they won't be able to deny

242
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 5: the blessing of God on your life. When these teenagers

243
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: came out of the furnace, people never looked at them

244
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: the same way again. They had a new influence, a

245
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 5: new respect, a new level. In fact, never Kanesar said,

246
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: praise be to the God of Shadrak knee jack in

247
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 5: a vendigo. We may not like the fiery furnaces, but

248
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 5: if we'll do like them and keep the right attitude,

249
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 5: God will use that difficulty to establish you, to give

250
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: you more credibility, to take you.

251
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 6: To a new level.

252
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 5: It's interesting it doesn't say that the teenagers saw the

253
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 5: fourth man. It says Nebkanesar saw him, the one that

254
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: threw them into the fire. In other words, the people

255
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 5: that tried to push you down, the people that tried

256
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 5: to hold you back.

257
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: Don't worry.

258
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: They're going to see the hand of God on you

259
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: things that you may not be able to see.

260
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 6: This is why you.

261
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 5: Don't have to prove to people who you are. You

262
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 5: don't have to convince them that you're right.

263
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 6: God is your vindicator.

264
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 5: He knows how to get their attention, he knows how

265
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 5: to change their mind. Well, Joel, if I'm surrounded by

266
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: the most time, why did I have the problem in

267
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: the first place, Why didn't God keep me out of

268
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 5: the furnace. But God never said we wouldn't have difficulties.

269
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 5: Being people of faith doesn't exempt us from challenges, unfair situations.

270
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 5: The Psalmist said, many are the afflictions of the righteous,

271
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: but the Lord delivers us out of them all. The

272
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 5: promise is not that you won't have challenges. The promise

273
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 5: is God will bring you out, not of some of them,

274
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: not of most of them, but out of all of them.

275
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 5: When you're in the fire, the right report is I'm

276
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 5: coming out. This sickness is not the end. This trouble

277
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 5: is not permanent. This slow down at work.

278
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 6: Is just a season.

279
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 5: You may not realize it, but God is in the

280
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 5: process of bringing you out right now. You may not

281
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 5: see him, but the Fourth man's in your fire right now.

282
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 6: Without him there, you wouldn't still be here.

283
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 5: He's the one keeping the fire from harming you. He's

284
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 5: the one pushing back forces of darkness. Don't complain in

285
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 5: the fire, Give God praise in the furnace.

286
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 6: Be your best right where you are.

287
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 5: That difficulty cannot keep you from your purpose. But we

288
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: pray God, keep thee out of the fire, keep the

289
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 5: out of this problem. And sometimes God will do that,

290
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 5: but most of the time God will make you fire.

291
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 6: Proof and take you through the fire.

292
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: Coming out of the furnace is a greater testimony. That's

293
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 5: what gave the teenagers a new respect with the king.

294
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: That's what changed the way people saw them. If God

295
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 5: kept us out of every furnace, we wouldn't reach the

296
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 5: fullness of our destinies. Here's why, when the teenagers were

297
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: in the fire, the only thing that burned were the

298
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 5: cords that had them tied up. They're clothes didn't burn,

299
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 5: their shoes didn't burn, just the cords. When you're in

300
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: the fire, God knows how to protect what you need

301
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 5: and at the same time burn off anything that's holding

302
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 5: you back.

303
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 6: You are not going to come out of the fire

304
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 6: the same.

305
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 5: You're going to come out free from things that are

306
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: holding you back with.

307
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 6: A greater influence. People are going to look at you

308
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 6: in a new light. People that look down at you

309
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 6: are going to look up to you.

310
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 5: People that wouldn't pay you any attention are going to

311
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 5: want your friendship. Psalm thirty four says the Angel of

312
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 5: the Lord encamps around those that fear him. One translation

313
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 5: says God's angels set up a circle of protection around us.

314
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 5: That's what happened with the teenagers. That circle of protection

315
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 5: didn't keep them out of the fire, but it kept

316
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: the fire from harming them. And if you're not supposed

317
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: to go in the fire, you're not going to go.

318
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 6: God will keep you out.

319
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 5: But if you do go, that doesn't mean God lets

320
00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 5: you down.

321
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 6: Well, I prayed, I was doing my best.

322
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 5: Joel, I got thrown into the furnace, came down with

323
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: this illness.

324
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 6: My company had to let me go. The enemy cannot.

325
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 5: Break the circle of protection God has around you. If

326
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 5: you go in the fire, that means God allowed it.

327
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 5: The good news is the same God that lets you

328
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 5: go in is the God that's going to bring you out.

329
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 5: The enemy is not in control of your life. God

330
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 5: is God, said to Satan, have you seen my servant Job.

331
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 6: There's nobody like him. He always honors me.

332
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 5: Satan answers something interesting, He said, why shouldn't he honor you?

333
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 5: You put a hedge of protection around him. He couldn't

334
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: test Job without first asking God for permission. Job went

335
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 5: through the test the unfair situations, but he didn't get bitter.

336
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 5: Job said, though he slaved me. Yet will I trust him?

337
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 5: He was saying with the teenage said, God, my life

338
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 5: is in your hands. I'm surrounded by trouble, but I

339
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 5: know you have the final say. You're surrounding what's surrounding me,

340
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 5: like Jove, like these teenagers. God has a hedge of

341
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 5: protection around you and your family.

342
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 6: I heard a story about a young girl.

343
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 5: She was walking to her car after class late one night,

344
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 5: and he was in a dark parking lot and didn't

345
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 5: look like anybody was around. All of a sudden, these

346
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 5: three men stepped out. They were hiding behind a car

347
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 5: about fifty feet in front of her, and her heart

348
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 5: skipped a beat. She knew they were there to harm her.

349
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 5: She wanted to run, but she didn't have a chance.

350
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 5: She stood there, praying under her breath as the men

351
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 5: continued coming closer. In her mind she was afraid, but

352
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 5: in her heart she was at peace. Something told her

353
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 5: everything is going to be okay. When the men got

354
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 5: about fi fifteen feet away, suddenly they froze in their tracks.

355
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 5: Their eyes got real big terror came across their face.

356
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 5: They began to back up slowly, carefully. Then they turned

357
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 5: and ran as fast as they could She knew that

358
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: God protected her, but she didn't really know what happened.

359
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: A few days later, they arrested one of the men.

360
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 5: He admitted that they were going to harm her, but

361
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 5: when they got close to her, he said, this mighty

362
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 5: warrior suddenly appeared. He began to describe them. He stood

363
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 5: over ten feet tall. He talked about his physique, how

364
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 5: his arms, his legs, his chest were rippled with muscles,

365
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 5: and how his face was radiating with so much light

366
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 5: they could hardly look at him. He had his sword drawn.

367
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 5: He was standing over this young lady. She only came

368
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: up to his waist. Had a sword in one hand

369
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: a shield in the other. He stared at those three

370
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 5: men just like he was saying, come on, make my dad.

371
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 6: I dare you to touch her in the unseen realm.

372
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 5: Just like her, You have these powerful warring angels protecting you.

373
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 6: You may be surrounded by trouble.

374
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: The good news is the most High is surrounding that trouble.

375
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 5: Psalm ninety one says, when you honor God, he will

376
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 5: command his angels to watch over you. These three men

377
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: thought they had the young lady surrounded.

378
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 6: They thought no big deal. One girl against three grown men.

379
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: What they didn't realize was like Elisha, God had them surrounded.

380
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: Those warring angels were standing guard instead of going around worried, afraid.

381
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 6: Turn it around.

382
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: Father, Thank you that your angels are watching over me.

383
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 5: Thank you that I'm surrounded by protection, surrounded by your goodness.

384
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 5: When you go through life in faith, knowing that God

385
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 5: is surrounding what's surrounding you, you're showing God that you

386
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: trust him.

387
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 6: That's what allows God to show himself strong in your life.

388
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 6: But you all, I had a bad break.

389
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: God thrown into the furnace. Don't see how it's going

390
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 5: to work out. That's going to keep you where you are.

391
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 5: The right attitude is, yes, this sickness has come against me,

392
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 5: but I know I'm surrounded by healing. Yes, I had

393
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 5: a bad break, but this is not my final chapter.

394
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 5: I'm surrounded by favor, surrounded by restoration.

395
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: God didn't bring you this far to leave you. It's

396
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 6: a test. Every person gets thrown into the furnace.

397
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 5: It's not to defeat you. It's to establish you. It's

398
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 5: to let other people see God's favor is on your

399
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 5: life and to let you know that God is still

400
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: in control. Every furnace God brings you out of You

401
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: come out with a greater trust in God, a greater confidence,

402
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 5: a greater faith. That's getting you prepared for the next

403
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: level of your destiny. With every experience, something is deposited

404
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 5: that you will use.

405
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 6: Down the road.

406
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 5: If you didn't need the furnace, if it wasn't going

407
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 5: to work for your good God would have kept you out.

408
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 5: You may not understand it, it may not seem fair,

409
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: but God knows what he's doing. He's not going to

410
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 5: let it defeat you. Thoughts will tell you you'll never get out,

411
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: you'll never get well, it'll never turn around.

412
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 6: Don't believe that God is bringing you out right now

413
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 6: like these teenagers.

414
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: You're not only going to come out, You're going to

415
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: come out stronger, promoted.

416
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 6: To a new level of your destiny.

417
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 5: In the story Second Kings, chapter six, Elisha prayed for

418
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 5: the young man that the Lord would open his eyes

419
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 5: and he saw all those powerful angels. But when the

420
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 5: enemy army came closer, Elisha prayed just the opposite, Lord,

421
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 5: make them blind. The commander knocked on Elisha's door, said

422
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 5: I'm here to see Elisha. Elisha said, you've come to

423
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 5: the wrong city. He doesn't live here. Let me take

424
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 5: you to where he is. Sometimes you have to lie

425
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 5: for the Lord. Elisha let this enemy army to the

426
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: city of Samaria, where they were surrounded by the Israelites.

427
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 6: Then he prayed.

428
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: Lord opened their eyes. They suddenly realized they were captured.

429
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 6: It was a trap.

430
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 5: They were at the mercy of Elisha. Elisha let them go.

431
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 5: The scripture says they never bothered the Israelites anymore. God

432
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 5: knows how to turn your situation around. Like Elisha, there

433
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 5: are enemies that are not going to bother you anymore.

434
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: That sickness you've struggled with for years. God is going

435
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 5: to put an end to it. That financial difficulty you

436
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 5: can't seem to get ahead.

437
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 6: You keep on honoring God being your best.

438
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: You're going to see those forces that have hindered you

439
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 5: broken once and for all. Now I realize that we

440
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 5: will never live trouble free. But there are some enemies

441
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 5: like with Elisha. God will free you from permanently. God

442
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 5: told the Israelites the enemies you see today, you will

443
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 5: see no more. Those things that are holding you back

444
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 5: a sickness, depression, addictions. Dare to believe like what God

445
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 5: told the Israelites. The sickness you see today, you will

446
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 5: see no more. That addiction that's dogged you for years.

447
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 6: You will see no more. That trouble at work, people

448
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 6: trying to push you down, You will see no more.

449
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 6: A man told me recently how for over twenty years he.

450
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 5: Wasn't treated fairly at work because his boss didn't like him.

451
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 6: This man was in cells.

452
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 5: He sold more than all the other salespeople, but he

453
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 5: was always overlooked for promotion, never given the bonuses that

454
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 5: he deserved.

455
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 6: He didn't get bitter. He kept being his best.

456
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 5: He told me last week, Joe, my boss was just

457
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: suddenly terminated. They didn't tell anybody why, but out of

458
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: over sixty sealspeople, he was chosen to take his boss's position.

459
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 6: God is a god of justice.

460
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 5: You keep doing the right thing, and like him, you

461
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 5: will come into that day where the enemies you see

462
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 5: today you will see no more. They think they have

463
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 5: you surrounded. The good news is the most High God.

464
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 6: Has them surrounded.

465
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 5: My prayer for us, Lord, open our eyes, help us

466
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 5: to realize there are more.

467
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 6: For us than there are against us.

468
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: That trouble that's keeping you awake at night, come back
