I like 43 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 4: to start with something funny, and I heard about these 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 4: two brothers, ages four and six. They were spending the 45 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 4: night at their grandmother's house, and she told them before 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 4: they went to bed to make sure they said their prayers. 47 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 4: They went in the bedroom, got down on their knees, 48 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 4: and the youngest brother started praying at the top of 49 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: his lungs. God, I pray for a new bicycle. I 50 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 4: pray for a new PlayStation. I pray for a new puppy. 51 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: His brother stopped him and said, why are you screaming? 52 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 4: God isn't death? He said, I know that, but grandmother 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 4: is say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 4: I am what it says. I am. I have what 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 56 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 58 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 4: heart is recepted. I will never be the same. Jesus' name, 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 4: about surrounded by the most high. We all have times 61 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: where we feel like we're surrounded by difficulties, surrounded by sickness, 62 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 4: surrounded by death. Everywhere we turn it's facing us, and 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 4: it's easy to get discouraged and think I'll never get 64 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 4: out of this. It has me surrounded. That's the way 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: a young man felt. In Second Kings, chapter six, the 66 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 4: King of Arim had just sent a great army with 67 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 4: horses and chariots to surround Elisha's house. They snuck up 68 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: in the middle of the night and had it totally encircled. 69 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: The next morning, when the young men went out saw 70 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 4: all the horses and chariots, he nearly passed out. He 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: ran back in, totally panicked, said, Elisha, wake up, We're 72 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: surrounded by the enemy. What are we going to do? 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 4: Elisha said, don't be afraid. There are more for us 74 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 4: than there are against us. I can hear him saying, 75 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 4: what do you mean, Elisha, just you and me. I 76 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: saw thousands of them, Elisha prayed. Lord opened his eyes 77 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: and let him see. All of a sudden, the young 78 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 4: man looked out and saw hundreds of thousands of powerful, 79 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: warring angels all across the mountain side, standing beside their 80 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 4: chariots afire. He thought he was surrounded by the enemy. 81 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 4: The truth is the enemy was surrounded by our God. 82 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 4: Like him. You may be surrounded by trouble, surrounded by sickness, 83 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: surrounded by an addiction. But what you can't see is 84 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 4: the most high God is surrounding What's surrounding you. Sickness 85 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: may be surrounding you. You're dealing with an illness. The 86 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 4: good news is sickness doesn't have the final say. Sickness 87 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 4: is surrounded. The right attitude is cancer. You think if 88 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 4: you have me surrounded, you better look again. My God 89 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 4: has you surrounded that you think you're surrounding me. I 90 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 4: have bad news for you. The Lord, my provider, is 91 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: surrounding you. Trouble at work. You think you're going to 92 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 4: keep me from my purpose, depression, you think you're going 93 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: to stop my destiny. You may have me surrounded. I'll 94 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: give you that much, but I know a secret. The 95 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 4: most High God is surrounding you. When you understand God 96 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 4: is surrounding what's surrounding you, you won't go around discourage 97 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 4: because of problems, worried about finances, upset because somebody's against you. 98 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: You'll be like Elisha. You'll stay in peace knowing that 99 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: there are more for you than there are against you. 100 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: Elisha prayed that God would open the young man's eyes 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: so he could see there's another world that we cannot 102 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 4: see with our physical eyes. If God were to pull 103 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: back the curtain like he did for this young man 104 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: and you could see into the unseen realm. You would 105 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: see all these powerful, warring angels at work on your behalf, 106 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 4: standing guard protecting you, pushing back forces of darkness. You 107 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 4: would see God moving the wrong people out of the way, 108 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: lining up things in your favor, good breaks, healing, deliverance. 109 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged by what you see with your physical eyes. 110 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 4: If you stay focused on the opposition, the addiction, the sickness, 111 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 4: then you'll live stressed out. You'll give up on dreams. 112 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 4: Through your eyes of faith, you need to see every 113 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 4: obstacle holding you back surrounded by the most high. That 114 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 4: addiction may be strong, but it's surrounded by something stronger. 115 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: God controls the universe. He flung stars into space. One 116 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 4: angel in the Old Testament defeated one hundred and eighty 117 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: thousand of the enemies of God. 118 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 5: God. 119 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 4: You may have big obstacles in your path. You feel stuck. 120 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 4: I believe today God is opening our eyes. We're getting 121 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: a new perspective, recognizing He's surrounding what's surrounding us. That 122 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: child that's off course doesn't look like he'll fulfill his destiny. 123 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 4: Imagine him surrounded by mercy, surrounded by favor, surrounded by 124 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 4: the most time. David said in Psalm three, I am 125 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: not afraid of ten thousand enemies that surround me on 126 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: every side. You would think with so many enemies, he'd 127 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 4: be a little worried, upset, afraid. He went on to say, 128 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: I know victory comes from the Lord. He was saying, yes, 129 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 4: I'm surrounded by all these enemies. I could be overwhelmed. 130 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 4: But the reason I'm not falling apart is I know 131 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: a secret God is surrounding what's surrounding me. He had 132 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 4: his spiritual eyes open. He didn't just see his enemies 133 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 4: through his eyes of faith. He saw the most high 134 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 4: fighting his battles, making his crooked places strife. Like David, 135 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 4: you may feel surrounded by enemies, addictions, sicknesses. Maybe forces 136 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: are kind to keep you from your dreams. You could 137 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 4: easily think, well, it's just not meant to be. But 138 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 4: here's the key. What you see with your physical eyes 139 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 4: is not the only thing surrounding you. If you'll open 140 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: your eyes of faith, you'll recognize the trouble, the addiction, 141 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: the dysfunction. It is surrounded by our God. You're not 142 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 4: just surrounded by the negative. That's one layer, But God 143 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,359 Speaker 4: supersedes that you're surrounded by fever, surrounded by healing, surrounded 144 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 4: by victory. I saw a movie one time based on 145 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: a true story from back in the seventeen hundreds. This 146 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 4: army had surrounded a city. They were planning to attack it. 147 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: They were very strategic to go completely around it to 148 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: make sure nobody could get out. They cut off the 149 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 4: food supply and were going to wait several weeks until 150 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 4: the people were famished and then go in. And this 151 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 4: army was very arrogant, cocky people. They would stand outside 152 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 4: the city walls and hurl insults, make fun, trying to 153 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: get the people to engage. A month later, they decided 154 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 4: to attack. They rushed into the city so confidently. The 155 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 4: only problem was nobody was there. When they turned to leave, 156 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 4: they suddenly realized they were the one surrounded. The people 157 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 4: in the city received word that they were going to attack. 158 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 4: They snuck out before they got there and went and 159 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 4: hid in the hills while the enemy was surrounding the city. 160 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 4: Being so strategic, thinking they were gaining the upper hand, 161 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 4: the people from the city were surrounding them. When they 162 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: realiz they were totally surrounded, they put up the white 163 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 4: flag drop their weapons, surrender. When you're in difficult times, 164 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 4: the enemy will do a lot of talking. He'll tell 165 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 4: you I have you surrounded. This sickness will be the end. 166 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 4: You'll never get out, you'll never break the addiction, you'll 167 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 4: never get out of debt. Look how long you've been there. 168 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,239 Speaker 4: Don't believe those lies. He thinks he has you surrounded. 169 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: What he doesn't realize is the most high God has 170 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 4: him surrounded. God knows everything that's going to happen. He 171 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: knows every attack, every disappointment, every unfair situation. When you 172 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 4: feel like you're surrounded, you have to come back to 173 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 4: that place of peace and say, I know my God 174 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 4: is still on the throne. He's bigger than this sickness, 175 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 4: greater than this addiction, more powerful than these enemies. This 176 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 4: is what the three Hebrew teenagers did in the scripture. 177 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 4: They wouldn't bow down to King Nebukanezzar's goal an idle. 178 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: He was so upset. He said, I'm going to give 179 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 4: you one last chance. Either bow down or you're going 180 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 4: to be thrown into a fiery furnace. They said, King, 181 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 4: no disrespect to you, but we're not going to bow 182 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 4: down to your idol. We know our God will deliver us, 183 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 4: but even if he doesn't, we're still not going to 184 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 4: bow down. They were saying, you can't stop God's plan 185 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 4: for our life. You can throw us in the fire. 186 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 4: We may be surrounded by that fire, but we know 187 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 4: our God is surrounding the fire. If it's not our 188 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 4: time to go, we're not going to go. The king 189 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 4: was so furious he had the furnace heated seven times 190 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: hotter than normal. The teenagers were tied up and thrown 191 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 4: into the furnace. They weren't bitter, complaining God, why'd you 192 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 4: let this happen? They stayed in peace. A little later 193 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 4: the king went to check on them. He looked through 194 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 4: the window in the furnace and said, didn't we throw 195 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 4: three in bound? I see four men loosed, and one 196 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 4: looks like the son of God. You may feel like 197 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 4: you're in the fire today. You've had a disappointment. You 198 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 4: don't see how it could work out. The good news 199 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 4: is you're not in there by yourself. The God who 200 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 4: controls the fire, that fourth man is right there with you. 201 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 4: This is the beauty of our God. He doesn't leave 202 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 4: us in tough times. He comes into the fire with us, 203 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 4: The king thought, throwing them into the furnace, surrounding them 204 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 4: by fire, surely that would be the end. What he 205 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 4: didn't realize is the God who created the fire, the 206 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 4: God who controls the universe. He has the final say. 207 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 4: What's surrounding you may seem big, strong, insurmountable, but our 208 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: God is all powerful. That sickness may look like it's 209 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 4: the end. But when God says live, you're going to live. 210 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 4: That addiction may look permanent. Thoughts tell you you'll never 211 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 4: break it. God is saying you're not going to stay 212 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 4: in that fire. That addiction is not how your story ends. 213 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 4: The Fourth Man is about to show up. Things are 214 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: about to change in your favor. What you thought was 215 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 4: going to stop you instead is going to promote you. 216 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 4: When Nebuknezar saw that the teenagers were still alive, he 217 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 4: couldn't believe it. He shouted, Shadrak me jaka Bendigo, servants 218 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: of the Most High God, come out of that fire. 219 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: A few minutes earlier, he was telling them to bow 220 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 4: to his golden idol. Now he's calling them servants of 221 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 4: the Most High God. Sometimes God will allow the fire 222 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 4: just so other people will see he is God. He'll 223 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 4: use you as an example. They may not believe before, 224 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 4: but when they see God show out in your life, 225 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 4: when they see you beat the cancer, break the addiction, 226 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 4: set a new standard, go where you've never dreamed, they 227 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 4: won't be able to deny the blessing of God on 228 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 4: your life. When these teenagers came out of the furnace, 229 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 4: people never looked at them the same way again. They 230 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 4: had a new influence, a new respect, a new level. 231 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 4: In fact, never Kanezar said, praise be to the God 232 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: of Shadrak knee jack in a vendigo. We may not 233 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 4: like the fiery furnaces, but if we'll do like them 234 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 4: and keep the right attitude, God will use that difficulty 235 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 4: to establish you, to give you more credibility, to take 236 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 4: you to a new level. It's interesting it doesn't say 237 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: that the teenagers saw the fourth Man. It says never 238 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 4: Caesar saw him, the one that threw them into the fire. 239 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 4: In other words, the people that tried to push you down, 240 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: the people that tried to hold you back, don't worry. 241 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 4: They're going to see the of God on you things 242 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 4: that you may not be able to see. This is 243 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 4: why you don't have to prove to people who you are. 244 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 4: You don't have to convince them that you're right. God 245 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 4: is your vindicator. He knows how to get their attention, 246 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 4: he knows how to change their mind. Well, Joel, if 247 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: I'm surrounded by the most time, why did I have 248 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 4: the problem in the first place? Why didn't God keep 249 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 4: me out of the furnace? But God never said we 250 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 4: wouldn't have difficulties. Being people of faith doesn't exempt us 251 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 4: from challenges, unfair situations. The Psalmist said, many are the 252 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out 253 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 4: of them all. The promise is not that you won't 254 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 4: have challenges. The promise is God will bring you out, 255 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 4: not of some of them, not of most of them, 256 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: but out of all of them. When you're in the fire, 257 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: the right report is I'm coming out. This sickness is 258 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 4: not the end. This trouble is not permanent. This slow 259 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 4: down at work is just a season. You may not 260 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 4: realize it, but God is in the process of bringing 261 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 4: you out right now. You may not see him, but 262 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: the Fourth man's in your fire right now. Without him there, 263 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 4: you wouldn't still be here. He's the one keeping the 264 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 4: fire from harming you. He's the one pushing back forces 265 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: of darkness. Don't complain in the fire, give God praise 266 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: in the furnace. Be your best right where you are. 267 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 4: That difficulty cannot keep you from your purpose. But we 268 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 4: pray God keep the out of the fire, keep the 269 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 4: out of this problem. And sometimes God will do that, 270 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 4: But most of the time God will make you fire 271 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 4: proof and take you through the fire. Coming out of 272 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 4: the furnace is a greater testimony. That's what gave the 273 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 4: teenagers a new respect with the king. That's what changed 274 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 4: the way people saw them. If God kept us out 275 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: of every furnace, we wouldn't reach the fullness of our destinies. 276 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 4: Here's why, when the teenagers were in the fire, the 277 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 4: only thing that burned were the cords that had them 278 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 4: tied up. Their clothes didn't burn, their shoes didn't burn, 279 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 4: just the cords. When you're in the fire, God knows 280 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 4: how to protect what you need and at the same 281 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 4: time burn off anything that's holding you back. You are 282 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: not going to come out of the fire the same. 283 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 4: You're going to come out free from things that are 284 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 4: holding you back with a greater influence. People are going 285 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 4: to look at you in a new light. People that 286 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 4: look down at you are going to look up to you. 287 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 4: People that wouldn't pay you any attention are going to 288 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 4: want your friendship. Psalm thirty four says the Angel of 289 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 4: the Lord encamps around those that fear him. One translation says, 290 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 4: God's angels set up a circle of protection around us. 291 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 4: That's what happened with the teenagers. That circle of protection 292 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 4: didn't keep them out of the fire, but it kept 293 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 4: the fire from harming them. And if you're not supposed 294 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 4: to go in the fire, you're not going to go. 295 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 4: God will keep you out. But if you do go, 296 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 4: that doesn't mean God lets you down. Well, I prayed, 297 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 4: I was doing my best. Joel, I got thrown into 298 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 4: the furnace, came down with this illness. My company had 299 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 4: to let me go. The enemy cannot break the circle 300 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 4: of protection God has around you. If you go in 301 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 4: the fire, that means God allowed it. The good news 302 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 4: is the same God that lets you go in is 303 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 4: the God that's going to bring you out. The enemy 304 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 4: is not in control of your life. God is God. 305 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 4: Said to Satan, have you seen my servant job. There's 306 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 4: nobody like him. He always honors me. Satan answered something interesting. 307 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 4: He said, why shouldn't he honor you? You put a 308 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 4: hedge of protection around him. He couldn't test Job without 309 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 4: first asking God for permission. And Job went through the 310 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 4: test the unfair situations, but he didn't get bitter. Job said, 311 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 4: though he slay me, yet, will I trust him? He 312 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 4: was saying what the teenager said, God, my life is 313 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 4: in your hands. I'm surrounded by trouble, but I know 314 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 4: you have the final say. You're surrounding what's surrounding me, 315 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 4: like Job, Like these teenagers, God has a hedge of 316 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 4: protection around you and your family. I heard a story 317 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 4: about a young girl. She was walking to her car 318 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 4: after class late one night, and he was in a 319 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 4: dark parking lot and didn't look like anybody was around. 320 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 4: All of a sudden, these three men stepped out. They 321 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 4: were hiding behind a car about fifty feet in front 322 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 4: of her, and her heart skipped a beat. They were 323 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 4: there to harm her. She wanted to run, but she 324 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 4: didn't have a chance. She stood there, praying under her 325 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 4: breath as the men continued coming closer. In her mind 326 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 4: she was afraid, but in her heart she was at peace. 327 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 4: Something told her everything is going to be okay. When 328 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 4: the men got about fifteen feet away, suddenly they froze 329 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 4: in their tracks. Their eyes got real big terror came 330 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 4: across their face. They began to back up slowly, carefully. 331 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 4: Then they turned and ran as fast as they could. 332 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 4: She knew that God protected her, but she didn't really 333 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 4: know what happened. A few days later, they arrested one 334 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 4: of the men. He admitted that they were going to 335 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 4: harm her, but when they got close to her, he said, 336 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 4: this mighty warrior suddenly appeared. He began to describe, and 337 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 4: he stood over ten feet tall. He talked about his 338 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 4: face zeke, how his arms, his legs, his chest were 339 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 4: rippled with muscles, and how his face was radiating with 340 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 4: so much light they could hardly look at him. He 341 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 4: had his sword drawn. He was standing over this young lady. 342 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 4: She only came up to his waist. Had a sword 343 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 4: in one hand a shield in the other. He stared 344 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 4: at those three men just like he was saying, come on, 345 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 4: make my dad, I dare you to touch her in 346 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 4: the unseen realm. Just like her, You have these powerful 347 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: warring angels protecting you. You may be surrounded by trouble. 348 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 4: The good news is the most high is surrounding that trouble. 349 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 4: Psal ninety one says, when you honor God, he will 350 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 4: command his angels to watch over you. These three men 351 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 4: thought they had the young lady surrounded. They thought, no 352 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 4: big deal, one girl against three grown men. What they 353 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 4: didn't realize was like a God had them surrounded. Those 354 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 4: warring angels were standing God, instead of going around worried afraid. 355 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 4: Turn it around. Father, Thank you that your angels are 356 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 4: watching over me. Thank you that I'm surrounded by protection, 357 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 4: surrounded by your goodness. When you go through life in faith, 358 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 4: knowing that God is surrounding what's surrounding you, you're showing 359 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 4: God that you trust him. That's what allows God to 360 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 4: show himself strong in your life. But you all, I 361 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 4: had a bad break, God thrown into the furnace. Don't 362 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 4: see how it's going to work out. That's going to 363 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 4: keep you where you are. The right attitude is, yes, 364 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: this sickness has come against me, but I know I'm 365 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 4: surrounded by healing. Yes, I had a bad break, but 366 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 4: this is not my final chapter. I'm surrounded by favor, 367 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 4: surrounded by restoration. God didn't bring you this far to 368 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 4: leave you it's a test. Every person gets thrown into 369 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 4: the furnace. It's not to defeat you, it's to establish you. 370 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 4: It's to let other people see God's favor is on 371 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 4: your life, and to let you know that God is 372 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 4: still in control. Every furnace God brings you out of. 373 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 4: You come out with a greater trust in God, a 374 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 4: greater confidence, a greater faith. That's getting you prepared for 375 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 4: the next level of your destiny. With every experience, something 376 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 4: is deposited that you will use down the road. If 377 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 4: you didn't need the furnace, if it wasn't going to 378 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 4: work for your good, God would have kept you out. 379 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 4: You may not understand it, it may not seem fair, 380 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 4: but God knows what he's doing. He's not going to 381 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 4: let it defeat you. Thoughts will tell you you'll never get out, 382 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 4: you'll never get well, it'll never turn around. Don't believe 383 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 4: that God is bringing you out right now like these teenagers. 384 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 4: You're not only going to come out, you're going to 385 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 4: come out stronger, promoted to a new level of your destiny. 386 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 4: In the story Second King's Chapter six, Elisha prayed for 387 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 4: the young man that the Lord would open his eyes 388 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: and he saw all those powerful angels. But when the 389 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 4: enemy army came closer, Elisha prayed just the opposite, Lord, 390 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: make them blind. The commander knocked on Elisha's door, said, 391 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 4: I'm here to see Elisha. Elisha said, you've come to 392 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 4: the wrong city. He doesn't live here. Let me take 393 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 4: you to where he is. Sometimes you have to lie 394 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 4: for the Lord. Elisha led this enemy army to the 395 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 4: city of Samaria, where they were surrounded by the Israelites. 396 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 4: Then he prayed, Lord opened their eyes. They suddenly realized 397 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 4: they were captured. It was a trap. They were at 398 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 4: the mercy of Elisha. Elisha let them go. The scripture 399 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 4: says they never bothered the israel anymore. God knows how 400 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 4: to turn your situation around. Like Elisha, there are enemies 401 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 4: that are not going to bother you anymore. That sickness 402 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: you've struggled with for years, God is going to put 403 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 4: an end to it. That financial difficulty you can't seem 404 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 4: to get ahead. You keep honoring God being your best. 405 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 4: You're going to see those forces that have hindered you 406 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 4: broken once and for all. Now I realize that we 407 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 4: will never live trouble free. But there are some enemies 408 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 4: like with Elisha. God will free you from permanently. God 409 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 4: told the Israelites the enemies you see today, you will 410 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 4: see no more those things that are holding you back, 411 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 4: a sickness, depression, addictions. Dare to believe like what God 412 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 4: told the Israelites, the sickness you see today, you will 413 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 4: see no more. That addiction that's dogged you for years, 414 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 4: you will see no more. Had trouble at work, people 415 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: trying to push you down, you will see no more. 416 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 4: A man told me recently how for over twenty years 417 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 4: he wasn't treated fairly at work because his boss didn't 418 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 4: like him. This man was in cells. He sold more 419 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 4: than all the other salespeople, but he was always overlooked 420 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 4: for promotion, never given the bonuses that he deserved. He 421 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 4: didn't get bitter, He kept being his best. He told 422 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 4: me last week, Joe, my boss was just suddenly terminated. 423 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 4: They didn't tell anybody why, but out of over sixty sealspeople, 424 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 4: he was chosen to take his boss's position. God is 425 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 4: a god of justice. You keep doing the right thing, 426 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 4: and like him, you will come into that day where 427 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 4: the enemies you see today you will see no more. 428 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 4: They think they have you surrounded. The good news is 429 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 4: the most high. God has them surrounded For us. Lord, 430 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 4: open our eyes, help us to realize there are more 431 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: for us than there are against us. That trouble that's 432 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: keeping you awake at night, come back to a place 433 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 4: of peace. God has the trouble surrounded. Sure, we all 434 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 4: get thrown into the furnace, but the fire is not 435 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 4: the end. The only thing it's going to do is 436 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 4: burn off what's holding you back all through the day, 437 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 4: especially when you're tempted to worry. Remind yourself, I am 438 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 4: surrounded by the most time. If you'll do this, I 439 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 4: believe and declare God is going to protect you, deliver you, 440 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 4: promote you. Things that have held you back are being 441 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 4: broken right now. You're coming out of the furnace into freedom, 442 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 4: into favor, into healing, into the fullness of your destiny 443 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 4: in Jesus' name, and if you receive it, can you 444 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 4: say amen? Today I'd like to give you an opportunity 445 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 4: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 446 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 4: pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of 447 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 4: my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make you my 448 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 4: lord and savior.
