Speaker 4: So come out whenever you can. But thank you guys

49
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: for being here today. And I like to start with

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 4: something funny, and please know this is just a joke,

51
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: don't be offended. But I heard about this blonde lady.

52
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: She was driving down the freeway when she got pulled

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 4: over by a female police officer who also happened to

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: be blonde. The officer asked for a driver's license. She

55
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: dug and dug in her purse, getting more and more

56
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: agitated and couldn't find it. Finally asked the officer, what

57
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: does it look like? She said, it's a little square

58
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 4: that has your picture on it. The lady found a mirror,

59
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 4: saw herself and said oh, and handed it to the officer.

60
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: The officer looked in the mirror and saw herself and

61
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: handed it back and said, you can go. I didn't

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: realize you were a police officer. Hold up your Bible.

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

64
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what

65
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says

66
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

67
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my

68
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

69
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: about the secret place. In the Old Testament, there was

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: something called the Holy of Holies that was the inner

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: part of the temple where the presence of God was.

73
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: It was a restricted area, very protected. No one could

74
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: go in there except the priest, and only with them

75
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: certain times a year. They had to take the right sacrifices,

76
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: be extremely careful. They knew if everything wasn't in order,

77
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: they didn't treat it with the utmost respect and honor,

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: they would be killed. It was a very serious thing,

79
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: so they went to great links to guard it and

80
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: to keep the wrong things out. In the same way,

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: every one of us should have a Holy of Holies,

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: not a physical place, but down in you. There should

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: be a secret place and inner sanctuary where you don't

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: allow everything in any worry, offense, bitterness, trouble, turmoil that

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: may be happening on the outside, but you guard your

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: secret place, you don't let it into your inner sanctuary.

87
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: Your secret place should be a place of peace, of rest,

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 4: of faith, where you know God is in control. But

89
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: if you make the mistake of letting everything in, constantly

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: dwelling on your difficulties, living, worried, upset, offended, the problem

91
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: is your secret place will become contamidated. This is where

92
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: you live out of It's the core of who you are.

93
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: Proverb says, above all else, guard your heart, for out

94
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: of it flew the issues of life. This is saying,

95
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: above everything, protect your secret place. If you're allowing everything

96
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: in what they said, what didn't work out, the disappoint

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: but the hurt, the pain, the stress, the traffic, then

98
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 4: because your secret place is poisoned, it will impact everything

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: about you, your attitude, your relationships, your joy, your vision.

100
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 4: Out of your secret place flow the issues of life.

101
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: And we all have negative things come against us. We

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 4: can't get away from that. But don't bring it close

103
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: to you. Quit giving it so much attention, reliving the hurt,

104
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: thinking about the offense, dwelling on the disappointment that doesn't

105
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: belong in your inner sanctuary. This is a very hollowed space.

106
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: You have to keep your secret place consecrated, set apart.

107
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 4: You're very selective about what you allow in. I won't

108
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: respect your secret place. If you don't guard your inner sanctuary,

109
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: then you'll go through life offended, worried, upset, discouraged. And

110
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 4: this is why many people have no joy, no peace.

111
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: They're always down. It's not because they have more difficulties necessarily,

112
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: it's because they're not protecting their secret place. And sometimes

113
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 4: when people see you in peace, you're always consistent, they

114
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: think you must not have any problems. I wish I

115
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 4: had your life. You should see what I'm dealing with.

116
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 4: The truth is we all face difficulties, we all have

117
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: unfair situations. The difference is the people that are in peace, positive, hopeful,

118
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: they're not allowing the negative into their inner sanctuary. And

119
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 4: things can be happening on the outside. A friended, you're wrong,

120
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 4: set back in your health. The feelings will come offense, worry, discouragement.

121
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: You can't stop the feelings from coming, but you can

122
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: stop them from getting into your secret place. I'm not

123
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: saying to never feel worried, never feel offended, never feel discouraged.

124
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 4: That's not reality. Feelings are a part of life. I'm saying,

125
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: don't bring it close to you. You have to put

126
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: your foot down, say this person did me wrong, but

127
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be offended. God is my vindicator. The

128
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: medical report is not good, I'm not living worried. Nothing

129
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: can snatch me out of God's hands. I didn't get

130
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 4: that promotion, but I'm not sitting around in self pity.

131
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: I know God has something better in store. You have

132
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: to protect your secret place. Your feelings will do everything

133
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: they can to try to get in. Worry will knock

134
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: at your door every night. What are you gonna do

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: about your finances? What if the report isn't good? What

136
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: if your child doesn't straighten up? Offense, self pity, discouragement,

137
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: They don't give up easily, constantly whispered, let me in.

138
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: Come on, you had a bad break. Feel sorry for yourself.

139
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: They did you wrong. You have a right to be depressed.

140
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: Or you lost a loved one, you should be sour.

141
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 4: You have to be determined to say no, you are

142
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: not getting into my secret place. I am not living

143
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: worried and upset. Friends, When you're in peace, that's a

144
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: position of power. When you have a good attitude despite

145
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: what's going on around you, you're showing God that you

146
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: trust him. Our actions speak louder than our words. When

147
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 4: we go around upset, worried, discouraged. That's a sign that

148
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: we're letting the wrong things into our secret place. The

149
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: good news is you control that doorway. You can do

150
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: something about it. Draw the line in the sand, say

151
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: that's it. This is a new day. I'm serving an

152
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: eviction notice to all the negative worry, offense, trouble, turmoil

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 4: from this stay forward. You are no longer welcome in

154
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 4: my secret place. The scripture says, don't let the sun

155
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: go down on your anger. It's okay to feel anger,

156
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: it's okay to feel hurt, to feel disappointment, but it's

157
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 4: not okay to let those feelings stay. You can't bring

158
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: them so close to you that you wake up the

159
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 4: next morning upsets, wanting to pay somebody back, not excited

160
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 4: about your future. That's going to poison your life. Keep

161
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: it on the outside, don't let it in your inner sanctuary.

162
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: Friend of mine is fighting cancer. He's had several surgeries,

163
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 4: gone through chemo and radiation. There's a lot of turmoil

164
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: on the outside. He could be upset, worried, discourage. He's

165
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: just as calm and peaceful. He still has his sense

166
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: of humor. He's learned this principle to not let the

167
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: turmoil get on the inside. He's protecting his inner sanctuary. See,

168
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: ships don't sink because of the water around them. Ships

169
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 4: sink because of the water that get in them. A

170
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 4: ship can be in the ocean and have hundreds of

171
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: miles of water in every direction. The waters can be cold, choppy, rough,

172
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: big waves. Water around them is not a problem. But

173
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: if that ship lets what's on the outside get on

174
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 4: the inside, then it is a major problem. It will sink.

175
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: We can't stop what's on the outside. Opposition, offence, trouble, delays, traffic,

176
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 4: These things are going to happen. The key is, don't

177
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 4: let what's on the outside get on the inside. A

178
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: lady I know emailed me her husband has cancer of

179
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 4: the esophagus. During surgery, they had complications and weren't able

180
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: to remove it, and he's had to take chemo and radiation.

181
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 4: It's been a long tough battle. If that wasn't bad enough,

182
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: she just got news that she has cancer of the

183
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 4: lift her. Now she's going to have to take the treatment.

184
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: A lot of people would have been better in self.

185
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: Fitty God, why is this happening to me? The end

186
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: of her email, said Jeel we've got a rough road

187
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 4: up ahead, but we know God is with us. We're

188
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: at peace, we're happy, and we're enjoying life. The only

189
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: way you could say you're at peace and enjoying life

190
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: when all hell breaks out like that is when you

191
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: know how to protect your secret place. She's not letting

192
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: the turmoil, the worry, the discouragement get on the inside

193
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 4: in that inner sanctuary. But I know people, they're just

194
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: the opposite. They're always upset, worried, discouraged. It's because they're

195
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: allowing everything in. Somebody is rude to them. They get offended,

196
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 4: they get stuck in traffic, they're strussed out, they can't

197
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 4: find the remote control for the television, ruins the rest

198
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: of the evening. They're not protecting their inner sanctuary. In

199
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 4: the scripture, the Apostle Paul faced all kinds of difficulties,

200
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 4: but he said, none of these things move me. We

201
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: should get to that point that no matter what comes

202
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: our way, it doesn't move us. We stay in peace.

203
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: We keep our joy. You may have things coming against

204
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 4: you today, in your health, your finances, or relationship. Like

205
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: that ship, nothing on the outside can bring you down. Trouble, opposition, unfair,

206
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: circumstances may be all around you. You can't stop the

207
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: storms from coming, but you can stop that storm from

208
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: getting in you. This is what Joseph did. He was

209
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 4: betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, spent

210
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 4: time in prison. On the outside, there was a lot

211
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: of turmoil. He had the right, at least in the natural,

212
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: to be angry, bitter in self pity, But Joseph didn't

213
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: let what was on the outside get on the inside.

214
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: The feelings came. He felt bitterness, the rejection, the loneliness,

215
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 4: but he made the choice that he wasn't going to

216
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: keep dwelling on it, reliving the hurts, thinking about how

217
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: unfair it was. And because he kept his inner sanctuary pure,

218
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: he operated out of a place of peace, of hope,

219
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: of faith. That's what allows God to turn things around.

220
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: When King Saul was chasing David, trying to kill him,

221
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: David could have been upset, thinking, why is this guy

222
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: after me? I haven't done one thing wrong to him.

223
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 4: Saul chased him through the desert month after month, making

224
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: David's life miserable. You can imagine how David could have

225
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: let the frustration, the worry, the turmoil get on the

226
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: inside cause him to be sour. David did what we

227
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: all must do. He didn't let that into his secret place.

228
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: At one point, while Saul was chasing them, David had

229
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: an opportunity to put an end to it. Saul was sleeping.

230
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: David's men saw it and said, David, this is our

231
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: big chance. We can go kill him. David said, no,

232
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: don't do it. He's the king, even though he's doing wrong.

233
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to honor his authority by doing the right thing.

234
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: The only way David could do that is to protect

235
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: his secret place. He wasn't allowing the anger, the bitterness

236
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: on the inside. With both David and Joseph. God not

237
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 4: only took care of their enemies, but God promoted them

238
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 4: and took them to the throne. When you face trouble, opposition,

239
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: bad breaks, that's when it's the most easiest to let

240
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 4: bitterness in. God. Why is this happening to me? Why

241
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: did I come down with this illness? Why did my

242
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 4: child get off course? Why did this company let me go?

243
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: In those tough times when you don't understand it, you

244
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: do it the right thing, but the wrong things happening.

245
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: More than ever you have to guard your secret place.

246
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 4: Come back to that place of peace, that place of trust.

247
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 4: Like David, like Joseph. You could say, God, there's trouble

248
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 4: all around me. It doesn't make sense, but I Am

249
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 4: not going to let it get in me. I know

250
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: you will make my wrongs right. I know no weapon

251
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 4: formed against me will ever prosper. I know this was

252
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: meant for harm, but you will use it to my advantage.

253
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: What am I saying? Be careful what you let get

254
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: close to you. Bitterness does not belong in your secret place. Offense,

255
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: self pity, discouragement that will keep you from your destiny. Well, Joel,

256
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: the loan didn't go through. I'm so disappointed. I worked

257
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: hard and I didn't get the promotion. The medical report says,

258
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: I'm never gonna get well. Don't let what's on the

259
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: outside get on the inside. You're in. Your sanctuary needs

260
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: to stay positive, hopeful, peaceful. This is what allows God

261
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 4: to work. This is what Mary, the mother of Jesus,

262
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: had to do as a teenager. She had just met

263
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 4: the man of her dreams, Joseph. They fell in love,

264
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: God engaged. Life couldn't get any better. Everything was going

265
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 4: great than it totally changed an angel appeared to Mary

266
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: and told her that she was going to have a

267
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: baby without knowing a man, that he would be the Messiah.

268
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: We focus on how amazing that must have been, a

269
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: supernatural birth. Wow, she must have been so thrilled. Sometimes

270
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 4: we forget what Mary had to go through. She started

271
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: showing signs of having a baby. Her fiance Joseph, noticed

272
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: they had not yet been together. They were waiting for marriage.

273
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: You can imagine Mary trying to explain, yes, Joseph, I'm

274
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: gonna have a baby. I'm pregnant, but I didn't do

275
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 4: anything wrong. This angel appeared to me. I can hear

276
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 4: him saying, Yeah, I'm gonna go find me an angel somewhere.

277
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 4: Word got out. People started talking negative chatter. There's that

278
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 4: girl Mary. She's not married, she's pregnant. He says, it's

279
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: not even his baby. Mary had to accept the fact

280
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: that she would be misunderstood her whole life. Everybody didn't

281
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: believe she was going to have a baby without knowing

282
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: a man. There were people that said she's a fraud,

283
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: she's a crook, she should be ashamed of herself. She's

284
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: just covering her mistakes. Everywhere she went. Mary had to

285
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: put up with rumors, inn windows, negative talk. She could

286
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: have become defensive, cynical, bitter. But Mary didn't let the

287
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: negative chatter get on the inside. When the angel told

288
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 4: her she was going to have a baby, the scripture

289
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 4: says she pondered that in her heart. That means she

290
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: thought about it over and over. Notice what Mary let

291
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: close to her heart was what God promised her. That's

292
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: what she allowed in her inner sanctuary. She could have

293
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 4: let the rumors, the questions, the innu windows in, but

294
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: Mary guarded her inner sanctuary. The odds may be against you,

295
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 4: it looks impossible, people are talking. Do like Mary, don't

296
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 4: dwell on any of that. Keep what God promised you

297
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: close to your heart. Your secret place needs to be

298
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: not only a place of peace, but a place of faith,

299
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: a place of expectancy. Instead of letting the doubt, the discouragement,

300
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 4: the offense, the rumors in, let what God promised you

301
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 4: into your inner sanctuary. What I'm saying is close the

302
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 4: door on the negative people are talking about me, No

303
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 4: big deal. God is my vindicator. I went through a loss,

304
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 4: a disappointment. I should be discouraged, but I'm still in peace.

305
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 4: I know it's not a surprise to God. He can

306
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 4: give me beauty for these ashes. You may be having

307
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 4: trouble at work, turmoil in a relationship, set back in

308
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 4: your finances. You can say, like Paul, none of these

309
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: things move me. You've got your secret place protected to

310
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: do this. We have to get good at letting things go.

311
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 4: Sometimes we let small things keep us from God's best.

312
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 4: Somebody cuts you off in traffic. You don't even know

313
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: that person. Don't let that offense in. Let it go.

314
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: A co worker is rude to you, leaves you out

315
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: of a meeting. You feel offended. That's okay, that's normal,

316
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: but don't keep dwelling on it. Don't let it sour

317
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: the rest of your day. Keep it out of your

318
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: secret place. Or maybe somebody is talking behind your back,

319
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: trying to make you look bad, spreading rumors. Don't let

320
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 4: the negative chatter get on the end. Inside, there will

321
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: always be people who are jealous, who don't like you,

322
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: who will find the smallest mistake you make and blow

323
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 4: it out of proportion, exaggerate it to try to discredit you.

324
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 4: It's easy to get offended, self pity. Try to pay

325
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 4: them back. Best thing you can do is let it go.

326
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 4: They cannot stop you. That is a test. If you

327
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 4: get distracted and become bitter, you're playing right into their hands. Well, Joel,

328
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 4: what if people believe what they're saying. What if they

329
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: do make me look bad? What if they damage my reputation? Now,

330
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: you keep doing the right thing, honoring God, and he

331
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 4: will protect your reputation. He'll make your wrongs right. Don't

332
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: bring the negative chatter in close. There's so much these

333
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: days with social media. People can hide behind being anonymous,

334
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 4: say hurtful, critical things to try to make you feel small,

335
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 4: in significant, not good enough. I talked to a high

336
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: school student. She's in her freshman year, a beautiful young lady,

337
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 4: smart and well spoken, articulate, but she is very discouraged, insecure,

338
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 4: almost a little confused because there was this social media

339
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 4: campaign against her at school. Seemed like it was the

340
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 4: whole high school. The truth is it was just a

341
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 4: handful of bullies, people that were jealous, envious, haters. You

342
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 4: can't stop that. I told her what I'm telling you.

343
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 4: Let it go, don't dwell on it, let it bounce

344
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: off of you. The trick of the enemy is to

345
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: try to deceive you into bringing that into your secret place.

346
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 4: If you stay focused on it, keep thinking about what

347
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: they said, it's going to poison your life. Let it go.

348
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: Negative chatter does not belong in your inner sanctuary. It

349
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 4: takes a mature person to say, I am not going

350
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: to read that comment. I am not going to get

351
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: that down into my spirit. You can tell when somebody

352
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: has let bitterness in self pity offense. You're friendly to them,

353
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 4: but they're short with you. They are always defensive, thinking

354
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 4: that people are out to get them. The problem is

355
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: what they've let into their secret place. It's become contaminated.

356
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: That's why the scripture says, guard your heart, don't let

357
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 4: the poison in. What are you thinking about during the day,

358
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: What are you dwelling on it at night? What you're

359
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 4: constantly playing in your mind, That's what you're allowing in

360
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 4: your secret place. Most of the response I receive about

361
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: our ministry is very positive. People come up stop me

362
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: and thank me. I'm very grateful for that, but I

363
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 4: do realize there are a few people that don't like me,

364
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: maybe two or three, but I no more pay any

365
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 4: attention to that. I have never read one negative article

366
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 4: about me. If I'm reading it, and it starts to

367
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 4: go that way, I move on. I don't let it

368
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 4: on the inside. I don't want that in my mind,

369
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 4: so I have to try to not think about it later.

370
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 4: It's easier to guard your secret place if you're not

371
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 4: taking in unnecessary things that you know are going to

372
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 4: contaminate you. Quit reading every negative comment about you. Quit

373
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 4: asking your friends for all the details of what the hateful, jealous,

374
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: critical people are saying about you. Do like me, assume

375
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 4: that everybody loves you. I'm naive, but I act like

376
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 4: everybody's my best friend. The truth is, it is better

377
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 4: to live out of a place of wholeness, positive confidence,

378
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 4: secure faith, than to live out of insecurity, bitterness, being defensive.

379
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 4: The scripture says, think on things that are of a

380
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 4: good report, things that are wholesome, positive, hopeful. Sometimes we're

381
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: our own worst enemies. We call that friend. Now tell

382
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: me again what that person was saying about me before long.

383
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: We wanna pay them back. It's on the forefront of

384
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 4: our mind. If you keep thinking about it, reliving the hurt,

385
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 4: dwelling on what they said, you're letting it into your

386
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 4: secret place. It's not only going to contaminate you, but

387
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 4: then God will step back and wait. If you want

388
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 4: to handle it, God will let you handle it. But

389
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 4: if you say, God, I'm not gonna worry about this,

390
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 4: I'm not bringing this close to me. I'm staying on

391
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 4: the highroad. I'm protecting my secret place. Then God will

392
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: step up and say, all right, let me go to work.

393
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 4: Let me be your vindicator. You don't have to vindicate yourself.

394
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 4: Just run your race, stay focused on your goals, and

395
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 4: God will take care of your enemies. Job says, those

396
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 4: who hate you will be clothed with shame. Quit letting

397
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: the chatter, the jealousy, the people that are never gonna

398
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: like you. Don't let that poison get on the inside.

399
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: A few years after I started ministering, there was this

400
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 4: person that was very against me. It was like their

401
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 4: mission in life to try to make me look bad,

402
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 4: and they were very vocal about it. I'd never met them,

403
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: but i'd hear reports that they were making disparaging remarks

404
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: and trying to discredit me. This went on for seven

405
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: or eight years. In the natural, of course, you know

406
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 4: you want to get in there and fight that battle,

407
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 4: defend yourself. I did just what I'm asking you to do.

408
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 4: I let it go. I didn't pay any attention to it.

409
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: I said, God, I am not going to let that

410
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: poison into my secret place. I'm staying in peace, I'm

411
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: keeping my joy. I didn't do it just one time

412
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: and I was done. I did it again and again.

413
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 4: Year after year, that offense kept coming back, knocking on

414
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 4: the door. This person had some negative things come out

415
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 4: about them, some things they weren't doing right. That was

416
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 4: the beginning of a domino effect. Everything started to come down.

417
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 4: They lost their business, their influence, their reputation, their platform.

418
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: Like the scripture says, they were clothed with shame. And

419
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 4: I'm not happy about that. I pray for restoration for

420
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 4: God's blessings. But my point is, if you'll protect your

421
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: secret place and not take the bait of being offended,

422
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 4: it will not only not contaminate you, but God will

423
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 4: be your vindicator. Can I tell you, God can vindicate

424
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 4: you better than you can vindicate yourself. If you'll let

425
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: God do it his way, the victory will be much sweeter.

426
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 4: Jesus said, stop allowing yourself to be upset, Stop allowing

427
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 4: what they said into your secret place. Stop allowing the

428
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: trouble the turmoil, the worry, the offense into your inner sanctuary.

429
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 4: It doesn't belong there. What you constantly think about you're

430
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 4: putting on the throne of your life. The key is

431
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 4: to keep God on the throne. It's easy to put

432
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: a negative medical report on the throne, go around worried

433
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 4: all day. Some people put the hurt, the disappointment, what

434
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 4: somebody said on the throne. As long as you're focused

435
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 4: on those things, giving them your most attention, you're going

436
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 4: to live worried, upset. The problem is you have your

437
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: circumstances on the throne. You need to put God back

438
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: upon the throne. When God is on the throne, you're

439
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 4: at peace. You know, he's your healer, he's your deliverer,

440
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 4: he's your waymaker, he's your vindicator. You know he'll give

441
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 4: you beauty for those ashes. Whatever you have on the throne.

442
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 4: That's what you're worshiping. Are you worshiping your circumstances, worshiping

443
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 4: what somebody said? If you would put God back on

444
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 4: the throne, you would see things begin to turn around.

445
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: That's what the Psalmist said. Let God arise and his

446
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 4: enemies be scattered. When you put God back up on

447
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 4: the throne. He'll take care of anything that's holding you back. Friends,

448
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm asking you to protect your secret place. Negative things

449
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: happen to us all like that ship. Nothing on the

450
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 4: outside can bring you down only if you let it

451
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: on the inside. Don't allow it in your inner sanctuary,

452
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 4: guard your heart, stay in peace. If you do this,

453
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 4: I believe and declare, like Mary, You're going to rise

454
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 4: above the negative chatter. God is going to fight your battles,

455
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: promote you, heal you, vindicate you, bring you to the
