Thanks for listening to 37 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 3: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 38 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 5: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 39 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 5: blessing and share it with a friend. 40 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 41 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: your life.

He bought a new horse. He trained 47 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: it to respond to praise the Lord meaning giddy up, 48 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 3: and Hallelujah meaning woe. Every time he said praise the Lord, 49 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: the horse would take off running. When he said Hallelujah, 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: it would quickly stop. One day, he was out riding 51 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: and the horse got spooked and took off straight toward 52 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: a cliff, going full blast. In the panic, he couldn't 53 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: remember what he had taught his horse, he said, Bless God, Glory, Amen. 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 3: Nothing to work. At the last second, he shouted Hallelujah. 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: The horse came to a screeching halt inches before the 56 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: edge of the cliff. He breathed a sigh of relief 57 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 3: and said, Praise the Lord. Say it like you mean it. 58 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 59 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 60 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 61 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 62 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 63 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God, bless you. I want 64 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about the two yous. There 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: are two people living on the inside of each one 66 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 3: of us. The strong, disciplined, confident you and the weak, insecure, 67 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: compromising you. The positive, faith filled, big dreams you, and 68 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: the negative, discouraged, not going to happen you. We all 69 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: have these contradictions, inconsistencies. You're a good person, you love 70 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: the Lord most of the time. You're friendly, easygoing, good morning, 71 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: great to see you today. But if someone pushes the 72 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: wrong buttons, if they're rude, hearsh the other you can 73 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: come out. He may have been hidden for two months. 74 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: You thought he was finally gone, but he was still 75 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: in there. There's a battle constantly taking place between the 76 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: two youths. The scripture calls it between the flesh and 77 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,119 Speaker 3: the spirit, between our old carnal nature giving into our feelings, compromising, 78 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: telling somebody off, and the new redeemed nature. When you 79 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: gave your life to Christ. Paul sett in Corinthians, you 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 3: became a new creation. Old things are passed away. We 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: celebrate that. That's good news. But here's what I've learned. 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 3: The old man may be dead, but sometimes he gets resurrected. 83 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 3: He may have died, but don't kid yourself. He can 84 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 3: get back up again. We see this in the scripture 85 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: with Peter. Peter was a faithful disciple, a close friend 86 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: of Jesus, strong committed. His name even means rock. Jesus 87 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 3: said to him, you are Peter, and upon this rock 88 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: I will build my church. Nobody God had more confidence 89 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: in than Peter. When the soldiers came to arrest Jesus, 90 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 3: Peter was so loyal, so determined to stand up for him. 91 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: He pulled his sword out and cut off one of 92 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: the soldier's ears. He was ready to die defending Christ. 93 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: That was the strong Peter, the faithful Peter, the rock. 94 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 3: That would be great if that was the only Peter. 95 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: But there was another Peter in there that came out 96 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 3: from time to time. When they arrested Jesus and took 97 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: him to the High priest, Peter followed along, and he 98 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: was standing outside the house in the courtyard, warming himself 99 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: by the fire. There were guards all around. A young 100 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: lady said to him, aren't you one of Jesus' disciples? 101 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 3: He said, no, what are you talking about? I don't 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 3: know him. Another person came up and said, are you 103 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: sure you're not one of his disciples? He said it again, 104 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: telling you I don't know him. Then someone came out 105 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 3: of the house. They said, I know you're his disciple. 106 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 3: I saw you there when we arrested him. This time 107 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: Peter got angry. He started cursing, swearing, I don't know 108 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: the man. Just a little earlier he was defending Jesus. 109 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: What happened the other Peter came out. There were two 110 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: Peters in there, the kind Peter and the curse you 111 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: out Peter, the defend you Peter, and the deny you Peter. 112 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: The great to see you today Peter, and the I 113 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: can't stand to see you today, Peter. I would love 114 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: to tell you that there's only one you in you. 115 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 3: You're not like Peter. You didn't get the rude you, 116 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: the compromising you, the curse you out you. But that's 117 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 3: not the truth. The other you is in all of us. 118 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: We are a new creation. But the flesh, even though 119 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 3: it's passed away, it can get back up. Romans eight says, 120 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: if you live by the flesh, you will die. It's 121 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 3: not talking about physically. It means your dreams will die, 122 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: your potential will die, your relationships won't be what they should. 123 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: If you're always saying what you feel holding grudges, compromising. 124 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: It feels good to feed the flesh, but you won't 125 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: like the results. You won't get to where you're supposed 126 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: to be. It goes on to say, if through the 127 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: spirit you will mortify the flesh, then you will live. 128 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: Mortify means you have to keep it dead when it 129 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: tries to get back up. When you're tempted to do 130 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: whatever you feel, you have to say no, I am 131 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: not going to let the flesh rule me. When you 132 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: do the right thing when it's uncomfortable, you're keeping the 133 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: old man down. And the scripture says no discipline at 134 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: the time feels good, but later on it produces a 135 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: harvest of righteousness. It doesn't feel good at the time 136 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: to walk away when somebody insults you. It feels good 137 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: to insult them back. Doesn't feel good to stay home 138 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: and study for the test when your friends are out 139 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: having fun. The flesh likes to be comfortable, but if 140 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: you're comfortable all the time, you won't grow. The reason 141 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: some people are stuck is not because they're not talented, 142 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: not because they don't have favor. It's because they keep 143 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 3: letting the old man get back up. They're not disciplined 144 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: to do the right thing when it's hard. You have 145 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: to be consistent. The flesh is not going to go away. 146 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: You'll never get so spiritual that you don't have to 147 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 3: deal with carnal desires. Paul said, I die daily. He 148 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: wrote over the half of the New Testament, Yet he 149 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: admitted he had to deal with his flesh on a 150 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: daily basis. Every day. We have to say no to things. No, 151 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 3: I'm not going to make that comment. No I'm not 152 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: going to watch that. No I'm not going to hang 153 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: out with that friend that causes me to compromise. You 154 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 3: have to tell the flesh you are not going to 155 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 3: rule me. I'm not going to eat everything you tell 156 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 3: me to eat. Now, I'm getting real. At the mall, 157 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: you can smell those fresh baked cinnamon rolls three blocks away. 158 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 3: You pull into the parking lot and the aroma is 159 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: in the air. Your new man tells you walk on by. 160 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 3: You don't need that. You're old man. He may be dead, 161 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: but he can smell too. He'll get up and say 162 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: you need three of those. You deserve it. You can 163 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 3: work out extra hard tomorrow. You can pray and ask 164 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: God to take away those calories. You've heard of the 165 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 3: walking dead. Your old man may be dead, but he'll 166 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: get up and walk around. He'll try to run your life. Now, 167 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 3: Quit telling yourself, I can't control my temper. I can't 168 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: break this addiction, Joel, I can't keep my eyes on 169 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: the right things. Your old man is not that strong. 170 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: The reason he's controlling you is you keep feeding him. 171 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: Whatever you feed is going to grow. Every time you 172 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 3: give into the temptation, you're feeding it. It's getting stronger. 173 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: Every time you're impatient, offended, you lose your temper. You're 174 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: feeding the negative. Do yourself a favor. Quit feeding the 175 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 3: old man. Start starving the temptation, starving the offense, Starve 176 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: the negative, and it will become weaker. When Joel, I tried, 177 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 3: I just don't have the discipline of quit telling yourself that. Philippians, too, 178 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 3: says God is working in you, giving you the desire 179 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 3: to obey him and the power to do what's right. 180 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 3: The most high God right now is working in you. 181 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: He's big than any temptation, bigger than any stronghold. He 182 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: created you to be free. Instead of going through the 183 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: day thing, I can't do this, Always give in turn 184 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 3: it around. Father, thank you that I have the power 185 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: to do what's right. Thank you that you've given me 186 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: the desire to obey. That the forces that are for 187 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 3: me are greater than the forces that are against me. 188 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 3: Get your mind going in the right direction. That's the 189 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: first step to victory. In the Scripture of David and 190 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 3: his men had been protecting the house of a man 191 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 3: named Nabel. Nabel was a wealthy man that owned a 192 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: lot of sheep. It was the time of year where 193 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 3: they were cutting the wool and having a big feast. 194 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 3: David sent a few men to ask Nabel for some 195 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 3: food and supplies. Since David was doing this good deed, 196 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: being kind, you would think Nabel would be happy to 197 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 3: give him something. But Nabel was rude and ungrateful. Commentary 198 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 3: say he was a harsh man, hot tempered, and hard 199 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 3: to get along with that he spent most of his 200 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 3: life drunk. He said to David's men, I don't owe 201 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: you anything. I didn't ask you to protect me. What 202 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 3: are you doing on my property? He sent them away 203 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: empty handed. When David heard how he had insulted them, 204 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: David was furious. He told his men to get their swords. 205 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: They were going to go take care of Nabel. Nabel 206 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: had a wife named Abigail. She was not only extremely beautiful, 207 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: she was very wise. When she heard what her husband did, 208 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: she loaded up animals with food and supplies and headed 209 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: out toward David. They met on the road. She bowed 210 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: down before him and said, David, my husband is a fool. 211 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 3: I'm sorry for the way he treated you, but I 212 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: brought you and your men these supplies. Please forgive us 213 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: for what he did. She calmed David down and kept 214 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: him from wiping out her whole town. David thanked her 215 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 3: and turned away went back home. He knew that God 216 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: had used her to protect him from making a mistake. 217 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: Ten days later, Mabel had a stroke and suddenly died. 218 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 3: David sent word to Abigail asking her to become his wife. 219 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 3: Now that the old man died, she was able to 220 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 3: meet the new man. Nabel is symbolic of our old nature, 221 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 3: hot tempered, rude addictions. The name Nabel means fool. As 222 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: long as the old man is alive, you'll never meet 223 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: the new man. I'm speaking figuratively here. I saw three 224 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 3: ladies giving high fives. That old man is your husband. 225 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 3: You are stuck. I'm talking about the old man that 226 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 3: lives in you, the bitterness, the bad attitude, the compromise. 227 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: Don't let the same issues keep you from seeing the 228 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: new man. The same unforgiveness, the same hot temper, the 229 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: same addictions hold you back for the next twenty years. 230 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 3: You have the grace to overcome. The temptation may be strong, 231 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 3: but the scripture says, where sin abounds, grace does much 232 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: more abound. That means God's grace, his enabling power, is 233 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: greater than anything that's trying to stop you. It's interesting 234 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 3: that Nabel died ten days after Abigail did the right thing. 235 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: When you dig your heels in and do the right 236 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: thing when it's hard, there will be times like with her, 237 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: you will come in to your tenth day where something 238 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 3: suddenly breaks. That addiction doesn't have the power over you 239 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 3: like it did. That bad attitude, that temper. It may 240 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: not totally go away, but it doesn't control you anymore. 241 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: Now I wonder how much higher we would go, how 242 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 3: much more of God's favor we would see, if we 243 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: would get rid of the old man, if we would 244 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 3: start saying no to things that we know are holding 245 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: us back. Sometimes a little thing can keep you from 246 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: a big blessing, A little bitterness, a little compromise, just 247 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 3: this one friend, I hang out with Joe. I've always 248 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 3: been hot tempered. No, it's time to get rid of Mabel. 249 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: Can I tell you nobody likes him, nobody wants to 250 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: be around him. You might as well put the old 251 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: man back in the grain. We don't want the walking 252 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: dead you. We want the new you, the free you, 253 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 3: the redeemed you, the blessed you, the confident you, the 254 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 3: victorious you. David had to defeat his personal enemies before 255 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: God could trust him with Goliath. Goliath, in one sense, 256 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 3: wasn't David's enemy, that was God's enemy. Goliath was sent 257 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 3: to establish the israel Lights to show the Philistines that 258 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: God was on the Israelite side. And when David was 259 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: out in the shepherd's fields alone, when nobody was watching, 260 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 3: he killed the lion and the bear. Those were his 261 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 3: personal enemies. He could have slacked off. Nobody can see 262 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 3: me out here. If I lose a sheep or two, 263 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: it's no big deal. But David was a person of excellence. 264 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: He did the right thing when nobody was watching, and 265 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: because he was faithful to defeat his personal enemies. God 266 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: was able to promote him and trust him with more. 267 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: If you'll do like David and start defeating the things 268 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: that nobody knows about. May not be a sin, it's 269 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: just a way, a small thing that's keeping you from 270 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: being your best. Sour attitude, being jealous of a friend, 271 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 3: showing up late to work are their personal enemies you're 272 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 3: not dealing with. They can all come on, Joel. Everybody 273 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 3: deals with something now. If you'll start defeating those small 274 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 3: things that are holding you back, God will release the 275 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 3: big things that belong to you. But sometimes we're waiting 276 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: for the temptation to go away, thinking that we're not 277 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: going to have the desire anymore. And there are times 278 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 3: that happens, but most of the time the temptation will 279 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: still be there. Your old man will want to get 280 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 3: back again and again. But God has given you the 281 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 3: grace to overcome. I'm a very goal oriented person, very focused. 282 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: It's my personality type. When I go to the grocery store, 283 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 3: I'm on a mission. I'm gonna get in, get out, 284 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: be efficient. I don't like waiting go around. I used 285 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 3: to be impatient. I wouldn't let anybody see it. But 286 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 3: if there was a long line, or if the waiter 287 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 3: didn't come to the table right away, I'd get stressed out. 288 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 3: But living with Victoria all these years, I've learned to 289 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: slow down, enjoy the journey. I'm much more relaxed, learned 290 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 3: to go with the flow. But even now, if something 291 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 3: is not happening as fast as I would like, if 292 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 3: the car in front of me on the freeway in 293 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 3: the fast lane is driving forty miles an hour, my 294 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: old man still wants to get back up. I've had 295 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 3: him down for years. We buried him, had a nice funeral, 296 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 3: but every week he's trying to get back up. What 297 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 3: am I saying? God doesn't take away every temptation, remove 298 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 3: every negative desire, where you're never tempted to be impatient, 299 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 3: to be rude, to compromise. That's why Paul said, I 300 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: die daily. You're still tempted to get off course, join 301 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 3: the crowd. This is where discipline steps in. This is 302 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: where the grace of God shows up. Yes, I know 303 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 3: people that God delivered from an addiction, they don't have 304 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 3: the desire anymore. That's the mercy of God. But if 305 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 3: it doesn't happen that way for you, don't use it 306 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: as an excuse to let the old man get back up. 307 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: Keep Nabel in the grave. Nabel doesn't look good on you. 308 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 3: Nabel is not your style. Keep the old man down 309 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 3: so the new man can shine. Here's the key. What 310 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: you defeat quickly is not your real enemy. What you 311 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 3: conquer in a short time is not what you have 312 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: to be concerned about. Be grateful for that. But your 313 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 3: real enemy doesn't go away easily. I'm not tempted to curse, 314 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 3: to do drugs, to be dishonest, By the grace of God, 315 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 3: I don't struggle in those areas. But being impatient. That 316 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 3: old man has been trying to get up for over 317 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 3: thirty years. He's stubborn. He won't go away for me. 318 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 3: He's a real enemy. David defeated Goliath in a few minutes, 319 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 3: a victory that changed the course of his life. But 320 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 3: Goliath wasn't David's real enemy. He was God in a moment. 321 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 3: His real enemy was Saul. Saul pester David for years, 322 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 3: threw spears at him when David was being nice. He 323 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: chased David through the desert. David had to live on 324 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 3: the run. God could have delivered David from Saul like 325 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: he did Goliath. He could have taken care of him 326 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 3: in one afternoon, no big deal. But there are some enemies. 327 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: God doesn't deliver us from some temptations. He doesn't totally remove. 328 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 3: If God is not taking it away, that means he's 329 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: given you the grace to stand strong. You have the 330 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 3: power to keep the old man down. Now you may 331 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 3: be tempted to hold on to bitterness. Somebody did you wrong, 332 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 3: they hurt you. It's been years and that temptation is 333 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: still there. That's your real enemy. Keep the old man down, 334 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: do the right thing when it's hard. Bitterness doesn't look 335 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: good on you. Maybe you have an ongoing temptation with alcohol, 336 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: or to compromise in a relationship, to be negative or critical. 337 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: Every person has a song. There's a temptation, an attitude, 338 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: some area of compromise that doesn't go away. You need 339 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 3: to know what your real enemy is. Don't let the 340 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: saws wear you down to where you think this is 341 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 3: just who I am. No announce to that Saul. You 342 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: will not keep me from my destiny if you never 343 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: go away. I'm not giving in. I'm not letting the 344 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: old man get back up. I'm gonna keep resisting, standing strong, 345 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 3: doing the right thing. But too often we want to 346 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 3: quick fix. God, deliver me instantly. Take away this hot temper. Lord, 347 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 3: make me patient and kind, and do it. Overnight. You 348 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 3: will defeat some giants. Overnight. You will conquer or some 349 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 3: golias quickly. But most of the time, God will deliver 350 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 3: you little by little when he sees you doing your part, 351 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: being patient when you could be stressed forgiving the person 352 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: that did you wrong, resisting the temptation. As you keep 353 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 3: passing these tests, one step at a time, God will 354 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: begin to change things. This is what happened to Jacob 355 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: in the scripture. He was dishonest. He went around tricking people. 356 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: He deceived his brother out of his birthright. Being dishonest 357 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 3: was his soul. He struggled with it for years. He 358 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: wasn't disciplined, he didn't try to overcome. He accepted it 359 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: for who he was. But in Genesis thirty two, when 360 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 3: he wrestled with the angel, God changed his name from 361 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 3: Jacob to Israel. This was to symbolize his new beginning. 362 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: God was saying, Jacob, I'm giving you the grace to 363 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 3: conquer this dishonesty, and Jacob did his best to change 364 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 3: and live with integrity. He started making better decisions. But 365 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 3: just because God touched him didn't mean he suddenly turned 366 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: into a different person and he didn't have these temptations anymore. 367 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: In Genesis forty eight, he came to the end of life. 368 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 3: Verse two says when Jacob was told your son Joseph 369 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 3: is here to see you, Israel gathered up his strength 370 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,479 Speaker 3: and sat up in bed. He was near death, and 371 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 3: look who was there, Israel and Jacob. You would think 372 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 3: the scripture would just refer to him as Israel. Jacob 373 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: was over and done, but this was put there to 374 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: show us that he never totally got rid of Jacob. 375 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 3: He lived as Israel his new name. But Jacob didn't 376 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 3: go away easily. Jacob kept trying to get back up 377 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 3: and come again and again. It's the same way with us. 378 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 3: God made us a new creation. He says, you are 379 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 3: no longer Jacob, the deceiver, the compromiser. Now you're Israel. 380 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: But even though you're Israel, Jacob is going to get 381 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 3: up out of the grave and try to work his 382 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 3: way back. There will be a conflict between these two men, 383 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 3: who you're called to be and who you used to be. 384 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: Somebody cuts you off in traffic, Israel says, no big deal, 385 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 3: it's not going to ruin my day. Bless them, Lord. 386 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 3: It would be easy if Jacob were totally gone. The 387 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 3: problem is the old man, Jacob. He's still in there. 388 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: When Israel says I'm going to bless them, Jacob gets 389 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 3: up and says, no, I'm going to curse them. Israel 390 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: wants to overlook the offense. Jacob wants to tell them off. 391 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 3: Israel wants to resist the temptation, set a new standard. 392 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 3: Jacob wants to take the easy way out. Not be 393 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 3: uncomfortable when you find yourself wanting to compromise, be impatient 394 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 3: giving to the temptation. Just say to yourself, no, Jacob, 395 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 3: you're not getting up. You're the old man. Stay in 396 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 3: that grave. Israel is in charge, the redeemed me, the 397 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 3: free me, the bless me. Well, Joel, it's hard to 398 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 3: take the high road. It's hard to walk away when 399 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: somebody insults me. Yes, it's difficult, but you won't come 400 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: up higher if you're not willing to be uncomfortable. These 401 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 3: are tests that God allows so we can grow. The 402 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 3: scripture talks about how God uses difficulties to separate the 403 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 3: chaff from the wheat. The chaff is the unusable part 404 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: of the plant. If you don't get rid of that part, 405 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 3: then the valuable part will go to waste. In Bible days, 406 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 3: they didn't have machinery, so they would take the wheat 407 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: to the threshing floor. They would put it on the 408 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: ground and have the oxen walk over it again and again, 409 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 3: grinding up the husk and the straw, the valuable part 410 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 3: of the plant. The grain would come loose from the chaff. 411 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 3: When you're in a situation you don't like, you're uncomfortable. 412 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 3: Instead of being sour, recognize you're on the threshing floor. 413 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 3: That's God working on you to try to get rid 414 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 3: of the unusable parts. Maybe the pride, the jealousy, the impatience, 415 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: whatever it is. Do your part and be willing to change. 416 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 3: Stay pliable, stay moldable. You may not like it, but 417 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 3: if you'll keep the right attitude, it's refining you. You're 418 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: going to come out better. This is what happened with Peter, 419 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 3: even though he had all these inconsistencies, even though one 420 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 3: moment he was defending Christ, another moment he was denying him. 421 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: Because he was pliable because he kept growing. His old 422 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: man didn't keep him from his destiny. On the day 423 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 3: of Pentecost, a very important day in the church, out 424 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: of all the disciples, Peter was chosen to give the 425 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 3: inaugural address. He had the honor of leading the church. 426 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 3: You may have let your old man get up way 427 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 3: more than you should have. Be encouraged. It is not 428 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 3: going to keep you from your destiny. Now draw that 429 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 3: line in the sand and say, this is a new day. 430 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 3: I'm not letting my flesh rule me anymore. I'm done 431 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 3: taking the easy way out. I'm gonna be disciplined and 432 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 3: keep my old man down. If you'll do this, I 433 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 3: believe and declare bondages that have held you back are 434 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 3: being broken. Right now. You're going to step into a 435 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 3: new level of freedom, new level of favor, a new 436 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,959 Speaker 3: level of growth. Like Peter, You're going to rise higher, 437 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 3: overcome obstacles, and become everything you were created to be 438 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 3: in Jesus' name. And if you receive it, can you 439 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 3: say amen? Today I'd like to give you an opportunity 440 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 3: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 441 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 3: pray with me? Just say Lord Jesus, I repent of 442 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 3: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 443 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 3: Lord and savior.
