He was out 46 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: fishing one day and he heard a voice saying, pick 47 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 4: me up. Looked around, didn't see anything, thought he was dreaming. 48 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 4: Heard it again, pick me up. He looked down and 49 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: he saw a frog. He said in amazement, are you 50 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: talking to me? The frog said yes, pick me up 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: and kiss me, and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. 52 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 4: The man quickly picked him up put him in his 53 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 4: front pocket. The frog said, hey, what are you doing. 54 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 4: I said, kiss me and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. 55 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 4: The man said, no, thanks. At my age, I'd rather 56 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: have a talking frog. Hold up your bible, say it 57 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 58 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 4: what it says. I am. I have what it says 59 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 60 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 4: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 61 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 4: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is recepted. 62 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 63 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: how you've been framed. When we hear that phrase, most 65 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 4: of the time we think of it as a bad thing. 66 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 4: We've been set up, made to look like we did 67 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 4: something that we didn't do. But the scripture talks about 68 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 4: a different type of frame. It says the worlds were 69 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 4: framed by the word of God. It's not just talking 70 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: about the physical world. The word in the original language 71 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 4: is eons, meaning ages or times. It's saying God has 72 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: a frame around your times. He has put a fence, 73 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 4: a boundary around your life. Nothing can penetrate your frame 74 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: that God doesn't allow. Trouble, sickness, accidents, they can't just 75 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: randomly happen. The frame is set. You don't have to 76 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 4: worry about your future. There's a frame around your health, 77 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: a frame around your children, a frame around your finance. 78 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: It's a boundary set by the creator of the universe. 79 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 4: Not only can nothing get in without God's permission, but 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: even better news, you can't get out. You can't make 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: a mistake big enough to break out of that frame. 82 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 4: You can't get too addicted, too discouraged, too angry. It's 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: a destiny frame. God won't let you get so far 84 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 4: off course that you can't still fulfill your purpose. You 85 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 4: may come right up to the edge, about to do 86 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: something to get you in trouble, and you'll bump into 87 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 4: the frame. God will push you right back. Had a 88 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: man tell me how he was so fed up with 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 4: his boss. He'd worked at this company for many years, 90 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 4: and his boss was always condescending, making sarcastic remarks, and 91 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 4: this man had had all he could take. He was 92 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 4: about to give his boss a piece of his mind. 93 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 4: He knew he'd get fired, but at this point he 94 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 4: didn't care. He had his speech all lined up, laid 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: in bed the night before, steaming and I'm gonna tell 96 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 4: him I don't like you, I don't need you, You're 97 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 4: a lousy boss. On and on. He's gonna let it 98 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 4: all hang out the next morning. First thing, he marched 99 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: into his boss's office without knocking, all fired up. The 100 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: strangest thing happened. He got flustered. He couldn't remember what 101 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 4: he's gonna say. His mind totally went blank. He looked 102 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 4: at the boss and said, would you like a cup 103 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 4: of coffee? He said, Joel, I tried to tell him off. 104 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 4: I tried to be mean. I just couldn't do it. 105 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 4: What happened he bumped into the frame. God knows how 106 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 4: to protect you, not only from accidents, not only from 107 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 4: the wrong people. God will protect you from yourself. Sometimes 108 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 4: we're the most dangerous thing we face at the family reunion. 109 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 4: You're about to tell that relative off. Somehow you feel 110 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 4: a peace come over you, or they walk out of 111 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 4: the room at just the right time. That's not a coincidence. 112 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 4: You better thank God for your frame. Out on the freeway, 113 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 4: that person that cuts you off, you were about to 114 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: give them a signal with your hand, and I'm not 115 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: talking about one way. Jesus. You pull up next to 116 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 4: them so aggravated, throw your hand up. But instead of 117 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 4: doing what you thought, you just smile and give them 118 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 4: a big friendly wave. What happened? You bumped into your frame. 119 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 4: This frame has kept us out of more trouble than 120 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 4: we realize. You better thank God for your frame, or 121 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 4: you might not still have a job. If it had 122 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 4: not been for the frame, we might not still be married. 123 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 4: How many times were we going to tell our spouse 124 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 4: exactly what we think and exactly what they should do, 125 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 4: and we hear the still small voice saying, don't do it, 126 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 4: bite your tongue, walk away. We take the advice. That's 127 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 4: the frame. In the scripture, David experienced this frame. He 128 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: and his men had been protecting a man by the 129 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 4: name of Nabel. They were camped next door just to 130 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: do him a favor. They've made sure that no bandits 131 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 4: bthered him or his property, and one day David sent 132 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: men to go ask Nabel for some food. Nabel was 133 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: very rude. He told those men, I don't owe you anything, 134 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 4: I didn't ask you to do this, Just get off 135 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 4: my property. When David heard what Nabel had said, he 136 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 4: was furious. He told his men pack up, We're gonna 137 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 4: go wipe out Nabel and anyone that's halfway associated with him. 138 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 4: This set David off as he headed toward Nabel's house, angry, offended, 139 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: ready to get even. God sent a young lady named Abigail. 140 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 4: Abigail was Nabel's wife. She met David on the road 141 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 4: with gifts with food. She said, David, you are called 142 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: to be our next king. You are destined to do 143 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: great things. My husband, Nabel, he's a fool. Why are 144 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 4: you gonna waste your time fighting with him? You could 145 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: miss your destiny. She spoke sensing to him and said, 146 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: you're exactly right, turned around and went back home. You 147 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: know what Abigail was, She was a part of the frame. 148 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 4: God ordained her to be there at the right time 149 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: to know exactly the right thing to say. Had David 150 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 4: gotten distracted killed Mabel caused a big stir, that mistake 151 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 4: could have kept him from taking the throne. He went 152 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: right up to the edge, but he bumped into his frame. 153 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 4: God is so good he will always send the right 154 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 4: person to say the right thing to keep you from 155 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 4: missing your destiny. David said, where would I be without 156 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 4: the goodness of God? He could have said where would 157 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 4: I be without this frame. Jonah experienced the frame. God 158 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: told him to go to the city of Nineveh. He 159 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: didn't want to go there. He said, God, that's what 160 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 4: you want me to do. I want to go my 161 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 4: own way. He went in the opposite direction. And God 162 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 4: will always let you do your own thing. He'll let 163 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 4: you go your own way. He's so merciful. At some point, 164 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 4: you're gonna bump into your frame. He let Jonah go 165 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 4: the wrong direction. Jonah ended up on a ship in 166 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 4: the middle of a huge storm. He finally told the 167 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 4: crew that he was the problem. This crew had no mercy. 168 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 4: They said, Jonah, you're the problem. Good riddance, You're out 169 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 4: of here. They threw him overboard. You would think this 170 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: would be the end of Jonah's life. He brought the 171 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 4: trouble on himself. He knew the right thing, but he 172 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 4: did the opposite. He had nobody to blame except himself. 173 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: I'm sure Jonah felt like he was finished, that his goodbyes, 174 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 4: made his peace. But what Jonah didn't realize was the 175 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 4: frame God had put around his life. Yes he made 176 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: a mistake, but it wasn't outside the frame. Yes he 177 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 4: was in trouble, but that trouble wasn't a surprise to God. 178 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 4: God allowed the difficulty into Jonah's frame, not to harm him, 179 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 4: but to push him toward his divine destiny. And when 180 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 4: it looked hopeless out in the sea, treading water, no 181 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 4: chance to survive, here comes a big fish and swallows 182 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,119 Speaker 4: Jonah up. You know what that fish was like, Abigail 183 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: part of the frame. Three days later, that fish spit 184 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 4: him up on the dry ground. Jonah says, you know what, 185 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 4: I think I'll go to NINEB after all. Like Jonah, 186 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 4: you can run as much as you want, but the 187 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 4: good news is you'll never run out of your frame. 188 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 4: You'll keep bumping up against it again and again. It'll 189 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 4: always push you back towards your divine destiny. In other words, 190 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 4: you can go out and party, live it up, not 191 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 4: give God the time of day. But while your friends 192 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 4: are partying, while they're enjoying life, deep down you'll be miserable, 193 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: thinking why can't I enjoy this? Why am I so unsatisfied? 194 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: It's because of the frame God's put on your life. 195 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 4: You are ruined for living a defeated, mediocre, compromising life. 196 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: God's calling is on you. You can go your own way, 197 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 4: but God has a way of getting your back on course. 198 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 4: God has put a frame that you can't penetrate the enemy, 199 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: can't penetrate, drugs, can't penetrate the wrong people, can't penetrate 200 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: the most high. God has fenced you in. He's put 201 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 4: boundaries around your life so strong all the forces of 202 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 4: darkness cannot get in, and you cannot get out. And yes, 203 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 4: we can make mistakes, we can run from the call, 204 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: we can try to ignore it. But the frame around 205 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 4: your life was put in place before the foundation of time. 206 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 4: When God breathed his life into you, he framed your world. 207 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 4: That's why parents, we don't have to worry about our children. 208 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 4: They've been framed. They may get off course, but sooner 209 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 4: or lay they'll bump into the frame. They may run 210 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 4: with the wrong crowd, but the frame is up. They 211 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 4: can't go too far to miss their destiny. They're gonna 212 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 4: bump into it again, again again, until they finally say, 213 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: I'm tired of fighting God. I'm gonna let you have 214 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 4: your way. I'm gonna honor you with my life and 215 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 4: some of you. Because you had a praying mother, you 216 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 4: had a praying grandmother, you had relatives that honor God, 217 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 4: you might as well give up. You don't have a chance. 218 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 4: Your frame is so set, you're gonna keep bumping into 219 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 4: it until God gets you to where you're supposed to be. 220 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 4: I know this mother. She was so concerned about her son. 221 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: He was making very poor choices, and she tried to 222 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 4: convince him to quit running with the wrong crowd and 223 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 4: convince him to come to church. He just wouldn't do it. 224 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: He ended up in jail One Sunday morning. He was 225 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 4: watching television in the common area and another mate came 226 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 4: in and wanted to watch something different. They started arguing 227 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: and ended up in a struggle for the remote control, 228 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 4: trying to get it out of each other's hands. About 229 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 4: that time, this huge inmate walked in six foot six, 230 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 4: looked like a professional football player, had these muscles bulging 231 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 4: out of his shirt. He grabbed the remote control. He said, 232 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 4: give me that thing. I'll decide what we're gonna watch. 233 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 4: Started flipping through the channels, and he came across our program. 234 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 4: He said, we're gonna watch Joel today. Those two inmates 235 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 4: got up to leave. He grabbed the one young man 236 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: by the shirt and pulled him back down, says, sit down, 237 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 4: you're gonna watch with me. What happened. He bumped into 238 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 4: the frame, a really big frame, I might add, parents, 239 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 4: God has the right people not only lined up for you, 240 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 4: but for your children, for your grandchildren. Quit worrying about 241 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 4: them and start thanking God for the frame. Don't ever 242 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 4: go around telling your friends how your children are so 243 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 4: off course and they're never gonna do what's right. Now, 244 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: zip that up and get in agreement with God. Lord, 245 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 4: I want to thank you that my children have been framed. 246 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 4: I've committed them into your hands. And Lord, you said 247 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 4: the seed of the righteous will be mighty in the land. 248 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 4: As this inmate was watching the program, with this six 249 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 4: foot six inmate making sure he watched, he began to 250 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 4: feel God's presence. He started weeping right then and there 251 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 4: in the jail. That big inmate led him to Christ. 252 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 4: Now I see this young man at our services all 253 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 4: the time, sitting next to his mother. You may not 254 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 4: see how it can happen. That's not your job. Your 255 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 4: job is to stay in peace, knowing that your children 256 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 4: have been framed. Your prayers are activating God's power. When 257 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 4: you pray, just imagine the frame is getting smaller, the 258 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: boundaries are getting tighter. God won't let them go as 259 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 4: far as they used to. He'll make them uncomfortable in 260 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 4: compromising situations. He'll won't let them enjoy doing wrong like 261 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 4: they did before. God knows how to tighten the frame. 262 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 4: When I was nineteen years old, I was driving home 263 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: from a ball game very late at night. There was 264 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 4: nobody on the freeway. I had a sports car and 265 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 4: the fastest i'd driven it was about seventy five miles 266 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 4: an hour. I thought this would be a great time 267 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 4: to see how fast this car will really go. So 268 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 4: one o'clock in the morning, five lanes of freeway in 269 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 4: front of me. I was on the top of a 270 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 4: big bridge. I could see about two miles down the 271 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 4: road and hardly anybody on the road, just a car 272 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 4: to here and there. So I put the pedal to 273 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 4: the floor, and that car took off, going so fast. 274 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 4: I'm not going to tell you how fast, because my 275 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 4: mother's sitting on the front road. But as I was 276 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 4: flying down the highway feeling so cool, I looked over 277 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 4: and there was a car right next to me. I thought, 278 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 4: I can't believe it. He wants to race. He can't 279 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 4: race me. He's got a piece of junk. And so 280 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 4: I put it down even faster, took off. I looked over. 281 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 4: There he was again, but this time when I looked, 282 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: he was holding up his badge. I nearly went to 283 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 4: heaven right then, and there my heart stopped. I looked 284 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 4: back over and he mouthed the words slowed down. I 285 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 4: drove thirty miles an hour the rest of the way home. Parents, 286 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 4: God has a frame around your children. Even when they 287 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 4: do dumb things, they can't get out of the frame. 288 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: God'll always have the right person, whether it's Abigail, a 289 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: six foot six inmate or an off duty police officer 290 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 4: going down the freeway at one in the morning. We 291 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 4: can't get out of the frame. Now, quit looking at 292 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 4: me like you've never done anything dumb. In the scripture, 293 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 4: there was a man named Saul. He was the biggest 294 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 4: enemy of the church. He hated believe he was having 295 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 4: them put in prison, doing more harm to God's people 296 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 4: than any person of that time. One day he was 297 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 4: on the road traveling to Damascus, and a bright light 298 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 4: shine down on him, so bright that he fell to 299 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 4: the ground and became blind. The voice said, Saul, why 300 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 4: do you persecute me? Don't you know it's hard to 301 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 4: kick against the pricks. God was saying, Saul, I've got 302 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: you in my frame. You're trying to kick, trying to run, 303 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 4: trying to ignore it. But Saul, you have to understand 304 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 4: I set the frame. I have a destiny for you 305 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 4: to fulfill, and it's not to stop my work. It's 306 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 4: to advance my work. Laying on the ground, not able 307 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 4: to see, Saul said, who are you? The voice boomed out, 308 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 4: I am Jesus, whom you persecute. Notice when people persecute you, 309 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 4: give you a hard time for honoring God, make fun 310 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: of you for coming to church. Don't let that bother you. 311 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 4: They're not really doing it to you, They're doing it 312 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 4: under God. Saul was harming believers. Yet God said, you're 313 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 4: persecuting me. God took it personally. The voice told Saul 314 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 4: to go to the city and see Anonius. Annius prayed 315 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 4: for Saul. He got his sight back. Long story short, 316 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 4: Saul became the apostle Paul, who went on to write 317 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 4: over half of the New Testament. Some of you think 318 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 4: that you're too far gone, made too many mistakes, people 319 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 4: tell me often, Juel, I'm just not a religious person. Listen, 320 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 4: none of that matters. All that matters is the creator 321 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 4: of the universe has put a frame around your life. 322 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 4: You can kick, run, try to ignore it. That's just 323 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 4: going to make you more miserable. Like God said to Saul, 324 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 4: it's hard to keep kicking against the frame. The frame 325 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 4: is not going to move. There's a calling on your life, 326 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 4: a destiny for you to fulfill. It has been set 327 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 4: there by the Most High God. The scripture even talks 328 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 4: about how God's calling is irrevocable. God's not going to 329 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 4: remove the frame the sooner you surrender and say God, 330 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 4: my life is in your hands. I'm gonna live for you. 331 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna get rid of these friends that are pulling 332 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 4: me down. I'm gonna get help with these bad habits. 333 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: I'm gonna get in church and serve and grow. I'm 334 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 4: gonna pursue the dreams you've placed in my heart. The 335 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 4: sooner you do that, the happier and the more fulfilling 336 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 4: your life will be. You may have family members or 337 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 4: friends like Saul, you've been praying for a long time. 338 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 4: Doesn't look like they'll ever get on course. In fact, 339 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 4: the more you pray, the worse they get. Don't get discouraged, 340 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 4: stay in peace. Just like Saul. They've been framed. A 341 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 4: part of this frame is a hedge of protection. God 342 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 4: has a boundary around your life that the enemy cannot cross. 343 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 4: Friend of mine was driving home from work the other 344 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 4: day and he stopped at a light when it changed 345 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 4: to green. He looked to the left to the right, 346 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 4: just being cautious, But just as he was about to 347 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 4: go forward, something said to him so strongly, look again. 348 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 4: He looked back to the right for a second time. 349 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 4: A car was coming full blast, never attempted to stop, 350 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 4: ran right through the red light. If he had not 351 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 4: looked the second time, he would have gotten broadsided. No 352 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 4: telling what would have happened. What was that The frame 353 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 4: if it's not your time to go, the enemy cannot 354 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 4: take you out. The frame that's placed around your life 355 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 4: was put there by the most powerful force in the universe. 356 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 4: That's why the Psalmist said, a thousand may fall at 357 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: my side, ten thousand at my right hand. I'm not worried. 358 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 4: It can't come near me. I know there's a frame 359 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 4: around my life. Nothing can happen without God's permission. Had 360 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 4: somebody come to me once about how they were hit 361 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: on the freeway. It totaled their car and they were 362 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 4: really upset, discouraged. They didn't know if the insurance was 363 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 4: going to cover it. It was a brand new car. 364 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 4: The feeling I got from them was that God had 365 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: let them down. He said, Joel, if I've got this frame, 366 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 4: how come I had an accident? Well, keep the right perspective. 367 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 4: You may have lost your car, but because of the frame, 368 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 4: you didn't lose your life. Because of the frame, you're 369 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 4: not paralyzed. Because of the frame, you can still see 370 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 4: and talk and hear. I'm convinced God protects us from 371 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: so many things that we don't even realize. We think sometimes, well, 372 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 4: didn't have anything good happen to me, Just an average week. No, 373 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: you can thank God for what didn't happen because of 374 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 4: the frame. You didn't have an accident because of the frame. 375 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 4: You're not in the hospital because of the frame. You 376 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 4: didn't get laid off because of the frame. Your children 377 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 4: are still healthy in home. A few years ago, I 378 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 4: was in San Antonio at Brooke Army Medical Hospital praying 379 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 4: for some of the soldiers. This hospital specializes in treating 380 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 4: people that have burns. I left one room and a 381 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 4: couple stopped me and asked me to go in and 382 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 4: pray for their son. He'd been badly burned. They told 383 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 4: how he was a soldier in a rock was the 384 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: middle of the night, was on the army base refueling 385 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 4: these large tanks of gas. It was all alone, about 386 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 4: a mile from the main area. Something caused the tanks 387 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 4: to ignite. When he woke up, he was twenty yards away, 388 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 4: flat on his back, on fire, not able to move. 389 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 4: He's wearing all of this ammunition that could explode at 390 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 4: any moment. Out of nowhere. These two Iraqi men civilians 391 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 4: showed up and started rolling him in the dirt to 392 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 4: stop the fire. Without those two men, he certainly would 393 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 4: have burned to death. What's interesting is those men were 394 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 4: not allowed on the base. They were in a secure 395 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 4: area three o'clock in the morning. The parents said, those 396 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 4: men had to have been put there by God to 397 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 4: save our son. What was that the frame? It wasn't 398 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 4: his time to go. The enemy doesn't determine your destiny. 399 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 4: God does. God is bigger than an explosion, bigger than 400 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 4: an accident, bigger than a car running a red life. 401 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 4: God has you in a frame. When I was ten 402 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 4: years old, we went to Hawaii with my parents. We 403 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: arrived about three o'clock in the afternoon, and we were 404 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 4: so excited. After we checked into the hotel, all five 405 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 4: of us children ran down to the beach to go swimming. 406 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: My brother and sister, Paul and Lisa, were in their 407 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 4: late teens, and they were supposed to watch over us. 408 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 4: We rented some floats, but in the excitement of playing 409 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 4: in the big waves and having so much fun, we 410 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 4: looked up and couldn't find my little sister, April. She 411 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 4: was eight years old, zed and searched so frantically five minutes, 412 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 4: ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes. I had never felt 413 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 4: such a sick feeling in all my life. We were 414 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 4: just sure April had drowned. The waves were so big. 415 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 4: Forty five minutes everyone was looking. An hour still nothing hour, 416 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 4: and fifteen minutes later we see April way way down 417 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 4: the beach, walking toward us, carrying her float. We had 418 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 4: never been so happy and so mad at her at 419 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 4: the same time. What happened is she'd fallen asleep on 420 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 4: that float. It was six hours later here at home, 421 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 4: about eleven at night. She drifted nearly two miles down 422 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 4: the shore. She could have drifted out to sea. She 423 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 4: could have woken up in deep water, not been able 424 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 4: to swim. In a thousand things could have happened, but 425 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 4: God had her in a frame. God had a boundary 426 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 4: set around her. Let me assure you death can't pins 427 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: your frame. God has to allow it. The number of 428 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 4: your days he will fulfill. That's why I always tell 429 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 4: people that have lost a loved one, especially if they 430 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 4: went home at an early age. While we may not 431 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 4: understand it, know this. The enemy didn't take your loved one. 432 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 4: He doesn't have that power. God called them home. God 433 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 4: received them into his presence. The angels carried them into 434 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 4: the Heavenly Father's arms. When Jesus arose from the grave. 435 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 4: He said, you don't have to worry anymore. I've got 436 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 4: the keys of death. He was saying, nobody determines your 437 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 4: time except me. Death can't penetrate your frame. An accident 438 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 4: can't penetrate your frame. Sickness can't penetrate your frame. God 439 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 4: has to give it permission. He controls the whole universe. 440 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 4: When you understand this, you can say, with the apostle 441 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 4: paul O Death, where is your sting o grave? Where 442 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 4: is your I'm not afraid of you. You can't defeat me. 443 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 4: I know there's a frame around my life. Not worried 444 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 4: about my health. I've been framed. I'm not afraid to 445 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: drive on the freeway. Thousand may fall at my side. 446 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 4: That's okay. I've got a frame ten thousand at my 447 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 4: right hand. No problem. I've been framed. It's a hedge 448 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 4: of protection, a bloodline that the enemy cannot cross. We 449 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 4: see this principle in Job's life. He was looking for 450 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 4: somebody to test. God said to Satan, have you seen 451 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 4: my servant Job. There's none like him in all the land. 452 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 4: Satan answered back something interesting. He said, yes, God, I've 453 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 4: seen Job, but you know I can't touch him. You 454 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 4: put a hedge around him. You've got a frame around 455 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 4: his life. He went on to say, if you'll remove 456 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 4: the frame and let me get to him, then he'll 457 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 4: curse you. But what I want you to see is 458 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 4: the enemy can't just do whatever he wants. He has 459 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 4: to ask God for permission. God has to allow him 460 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 4: to do it. Job went through a time of testing. 461 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 4: He fought the good fight, and in the end he 462 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 4: didn't curse God. He came out with double When you 463 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 4: go through tough times, you have a bad break, you're 464 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 4: facing a sickness, don't get discouraged. Remember the frame is 465 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: still up. You keep moving forward and you'll not only 466 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 4: come out, but like Job, God will bring you out 467 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 4: better off than you were before. My encouragement to us today, 468 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 4: don't worry about your future. You've been framed. There are 469 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 4: boundaries around your life put in place by the most 470 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 4: powerful force in the universe. Not only can nothing get 471 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 4: in without God's permission, you can't get out. You may 472 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 4: run like Jonah, but there'll be a fish waiting for you. 473 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: You may kick like Saul, but before long you'll be 474 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 4: the apostle Paul. You may be about to tell somebody 475 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 4: off like David, don't worry, Abigail's going to show up. 476 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 4: That's the frame now, all through the day, instead of worrying, 477 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 4: instead of being stressed out. Now under your breath, Lord, 478 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 4: thank you that my life has been framed. Thank you 479 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 4: that my children are framed. Lord, Thank you that my health, 480 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 4: my finances, my dreams, my future is in your frame. 481 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 4: If you'll do that, you'll not only be happier, you'll 482 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 4: not only have more peace. But God promises the number 483 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 4: of your days he will fulfill. You will see his protection, 484 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 4: his mercy, his favor. And I believe and declare nothing 485 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 4: will keep you from your God given destiny in Jesus's name. 486 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 4: If you receive it, can you say amen. We never 487 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 4: like to close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity 488 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 4: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 489 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 4: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of 490 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 4: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 491 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 4: Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, 492 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 493 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 4: Bible based church, Keep God first place.
