43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: about this ninety two year old man. He wasn't feeling

45
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: up to par, so we went to the doctor. A

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: few days later. The doctor saw him out in the

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: park with a beautiful young lady by his side. He

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: seemed as happy as Conde. The doctor said, Wow, you

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: sure are feeling a lot better, aren't you. He said, yes, doctor,

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: I'm just following your orders. You said, get a hot

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: mama and stay cheerful. The doctor said, I didn't say that.

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful, man.

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 4: He heard what he wanted to hear. But say like

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

55
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: it says I am. I have what it says I have.

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

59
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about God's got this.

61
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: We all have things that come against us. It's easy

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: to live up tight, wondering how it's going to work out.

63
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: What if the medical report isn't good, What if my

64
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: finances don't get better? What if my child doesn't get

65
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: accepted in that school. We tried to figure it out.

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: We've done our best, but we don't see anything changing.

67
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 4: And if we're not careful. We'll live worried, discouraged, not

68
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: expecting it to get better. But there's a simple phrase

69
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: you have to keep down in your spirit. God's got this.

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: He's on the throne, he sees what's happening. He already

71
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: has the solution. You don't have to figure it out.

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: There may not be a logical answer in the natural.

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: You don't see a way that's okay. We serve a

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: supernatural God. He has ways to do it thought of,

75
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: and instead of trying to force it to happen. Living uptight,

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: you have to let go and let God when you

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: turn it over to him and say, God, I know

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: you've got this. I know you're in control. Not only

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 4: will you feel the heaviness, the weight lift off of you,

80
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 4: but God will make things happen that you couldn't make happen.

81
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: And some of the things that are frustrating you now

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: causing you to lose sleep, that would all change if

83
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 4: you would have this new perspective that God's got this.

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes we're trying to play God. We're trying to make

85
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: our boss promote us, make ourselves get well, and make

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 4: the contract go through. But as long as we're trying

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 4: to force it, living frustrated, worried. Then God steps back.

88
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: But when you take your hands off and say, God,

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: I know you've got this. I'm not going to worry

90
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: about my finance. I'm not going to live up tight

91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: because of the medical report. I'm not going to be

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 4: frustrated because I haven't met the right person. God. I

93
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 4: trust your timing and I trust your ways. My life

94
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 4: is in your hands. God never promised that we wouldn't

95
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: have difficulties, but he did promise he would give us

96
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 4: strength for every battle. He would take what was meant

97
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: for harm and use to our advantage. You may have

98
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 4: a good reason to worry about something in your health,

99
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 4: your finances, a dream, you've done everything you can, doesn't

100
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: look like it's going to work out. Stay in faith.

101
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: God is saying I've got this. I'm working behind the scenes.

102
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 4: I'm in the process of turning it around. It's just

103
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: a matter of time before you see things change in

104
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 4: your favor. Now live out of a place of peace,

105
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 4: a place of trust. It may not happen the way thought,

106
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 4: but God's ways are better than our ways. God knows

107
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: what's best for you. He's got this in the scripture,

108
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: a young man named Daniel worked for King Darius. The

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: king loved Daniel. Daniel was so good at what he did.

110
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: The king was going to put Daniel in charge of

111
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: his whole empire. But when the other leaders heard this,

112
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: they were jealous. They came up with a plan to

113
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 4: get rid of Daniel. When you excel, when your gifts

114
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: come out in great ways, don't be surprised if people

115
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: get jealous. Everyone is not going to celebrate you. Some

116
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: people will try to find fault and hold you back.

117
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 4: The good news is people don't determine your destiny. God does.

118
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: Keep being your best and let God fight your battles.

119
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: Don't get distracted trying to prove to them who you are.

120
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: God will be your vindicator. God will take care of

121
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: your enemies. These people that were against Daniel tried to

122
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: manipulate the king. They said, King, you're so great. We've

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: written a decree that for the next thirty days, no

124
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: one can pray to anyone accept you. If they do,

125
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: they'll be thrown into a lion's den. They did this

126
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: because they knew Daniel prayed to Jehovah. They convinced the

127
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: king to sign this decree but that didn't change Daniel.

128
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: Three times a day, just like normal, he knelt down

129
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: on his knees, opened his windows and prayed to the

130
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.

131
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: They ran back and told the king this God, Daniel,

132
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: one of the captives from the tribe of Judah, is

133
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: defying your order. The king was upset with himself. He

134
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 4: knew they had manipulated him, but he couldn't go back

135
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: on his word, so he had Daniel sent to the lion.

136
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: What's interesting is that whole night the king fasted for Daniel.

137
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: When you're in difficult situations, God has people praying for

138
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: you that you don't know anything about. This king was

139
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: supposed to be his enemy, but he was actually believing

140
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: for Daniel's safety. When they arrested Daniel and took him

141
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: to the lion's den, he wasn't afraid, worried, panicked. He

142
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: understood this principle. A little earlier, Daniel had seen his

143
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: friends Shadrack, Meejak, and Abednego, the Hebrew teenagers, get thrown

144
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: into a fiery furnace and come out without the smell

145
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 4: of smoke. Daniel's attitude was God's got this. I'm in

146
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: the palm of his hand. Nothing can snatch me away.

147
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: If it's not my time to go, I'm not going

148
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: to go. He stayed in peace. The apostle Paul said,

149
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: for me, to live is crist and to die is gain.

150
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: He was saying, in effect, if I live, I'm going

151
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 4: to give God praise, and if I don't live, I'm

152
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: going to give God praise. Either way, I'm gonna stay

153
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: in faith knowing that God's got this. What you're facing

154
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 4: maybe bigger, stronger, more powerful. But when you refuse to worry,

155
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: when you refuse to live stressed out. Instead, you stay

156
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: in peace, thanking God that he's fighting your battles, knowing

157
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: that he's in control. You are showing God by your

158
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: actions that you're trusting him. One evening, the authorities threw

159
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: Daniel into the lions den. They expected him to be

160
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 4: eaten in a few minutes. These were hungry lions, that's

161
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 4: the way it always happened. But God supernaturally closed the

162
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: mouths of the lions for some reason. They thought, I'm

163
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: not hungry tonight. I don't feel like eating. One said, yeah,

164
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: I'm full too. I've got into you, Yes, I'm going

165
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: to bed. God made Daniel unappetizing to those lions. Have

166
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: you ever sat down to eat, but when you look

167
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: at the food, you think, I'm not hungry for this.

168
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 4: I used to love tuna sandwiches. I would eat one

169
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: every night. And a few years after we were married,

170
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: I'd had a virus for a day or so and

171
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: I was just getting over it. Victoria, being nice, brought

172
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: me a tuna sandwich. When I smelled that tuna almost

173
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 4: threw out. Now, I thought that is the worst smelling

174
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: food in all the world. Yet I would eat one

175
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: every day. I can imagine when these lions looked at Daniel,

176
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 4: they were confused, thinking we should eat this man. We

177
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: like a good steak dinner. But something is different tonight.

178
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 4: We don't have our normal appetite. God knows how to

179
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 4: make you unappetizing to the enemy. What should normally take

180
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: you out, what should normally defeat you for some reason?

181
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 4: It can't harm you, It can't stop your business, It

182
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 4: can't take your health. There is a bloodline God has

183
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: put around you and your family. God controls the universe,

184
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: He controls the lions, He controls the enemies. You're not

185
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 4: at the mercy of random events, people wanting to do

186
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: you wrong, bad breaks. God has a hedge of protection

187
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 4: around you. Nothing can happen without his permission. That's why

188
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: we don't have to live worried uptight. We're in a

189
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 4: controlled environment. When the Hebrew teenagers were about to be

190
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: thrown into the fiery furnace because they wouldn't bow down

191
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 4: to the king's golden idol, they said, we know our

192
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 4: God will deliver us, but even if he doesn't, we're

193
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 4: still not going to bow down. They weren't paying, they

194
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 4: weren't upset bitter. They knew they were in a controlled environment.

195
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 4: They were saying, like Paul, if we live, we're going

196
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: to give God praise. If we don't live, we're going

197
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 4: to go to heaven and still give God praise. They

198
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: stayed in faith, knowing that God has the final sayings.

199
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: And yes, at some point we're all going to die,

200
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: but I've made up my mind. I'm going to die

201
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: in faith. I'm going to die believing, expecting, trusting, praising,

202
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: smiling with a good attitude, knowing that God is in

203
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: complete control. Nothing can snatch you out of his hands.

204
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: The number of your days he will fulfill in life

205
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 4: and in death. We have to know God's got this.

206
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: In the lions den that night, Daniel wasn't uptight on

207
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: edge think it. I've made it this far, but any

208
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: moment these lions could turn on me. Animals can sense

209
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 4: when you're afraid. They know when you're scared of them.

210
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: But when you're calm, you have your shoulders back, you're confident,

211
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: they know you're the authority. We go hiking in the mountains,

212
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: sometimes they tell you, if you see a bear, don't

213
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 4: take off running, don't panic, don't lose your poise, be still,

214
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 4: be calm, carry yourself with a quiet confidence. In the

215
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: same way, when you face enemies in life, the enemy

216
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: of sickness, the enemy of addiction, the enemy of debt.

217
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: Those enemies can sense when you're afraid of them. They'll

218
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: take more ground. That's why the scripture says, give no

219
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: place to the enemy. But when they see you standing strong,

220
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 4: thanking God, when you could be complaining, being good to people,

221
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: when you could be bitter at peace, when you could

222
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 4: be panic, you are sending a message to those enemies

223
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: that says loud and clear, you have no power over me.

224
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: You cannot stop me. My God is in control, and

225
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 4: if he before me, who dare be against me? I

226
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: can imagine Daniel, instead of worrying, he found a nice

227
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 4: soft piece of grass, laid down, fell asleep. Early the

228
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: next morning, the king came running out to the lions

229
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 4: den to see what happened. The scripture says he called

230
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: out in anguish Daniel, servant of the Living God, was

231
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: the God you constantly worship able to save you. Notice

232
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: how he addressed Daniel. Daniel was in there because he

233
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: was worshiping a different God, yet the king called him

234
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: Daniel's son of the Living God. Even the king knew

235
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: something was different about Daniel. When he saw Daniel come

236
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: walking award him unharmed, passing the lions, the king couldn't

237
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: believe it. He was overjoyed. Verse twenty three says not

238
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: a scratch was found on Daniel because he trusted in

239
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: his God. Amazing things happen when you stay in faith

240
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: and trust God. God not only protected Daniel, but the

241
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 4: king ordered the men that conspired against Daniel to be

242
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: arrested and thrown into the same lions den, but they

243
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 4: didn't have the same outcome. Before they hit the ground,

244
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: the hungry lions tore them apart. The king issued a

245
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: new decree. It said, from now on, everyone in my

246
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 4: kingdom should worship the God of Daniel. He rescues his people.

247
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: He's the living God. But here's the king. God doesn't

248
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: deliver us from every difficulty. Most of the time, he

249
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 4: takes us through through the difficulty. Daniel's faith didn't keep

250
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: him out of the lion's den, but his faith did

251
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: make him lie in proof. That's what brought him out

252
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: of the lion's den. But if Daniel, if those teenagers

253
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 4: had been worried, panic, negative, maybe there would have been

254
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: a different outcome. Maybe we wouldn't be talking about them today.

255
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 4: I'm asking you to quit worrying about what you're facing.

256
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: Quit losing sleep over that child that's not doing right.

257
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 4: Quit being upset because somebody did you wrong. Your dream

258
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: hasn't come to pass yet. Can I tell you God's

259
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: got this like he did for Daniel, He's going to

260
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: make a way where you don't see away like you

261
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 4: did for the Hebrew teenagers. God's going to protect you,

262
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 4: favor you, get you to where you're supposed to be.

263
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: David said, Though I walk through the valley of the

264
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: shadow of death, will fear no evil. God is not

265
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 4: just with you on the mountaintops. He's with you in

266
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: the valleys when you're going through things. He knows what

267
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 4: you're up against. The scripture says God is concerned about

268
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 4: what concerns you. A sparrow doesn't fall to the ground

269
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: without God knowing about it. How much more is God

270
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 4: concerned about what's happening in your life? Trusting live from

271
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: a place of peace. This is a decision we have

272
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 4: to make on a daily basis, because every day there's

273
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: something to worry about. There's some reason to get upset

274
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 4: all through the day. Keep this phrase close to your heart.

275
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 4: God's got this. He's concerned about me. He's working in

276
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: my life. He's bigger than my enemies. He's lining up

277
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: the right people, He's arranging things in my favor. That

278
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 4: attitude of faith is what allows God to do amazing things.

279
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: Four years ago, when our son Jonathan was going off

280
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 4: to college for his freshman year. As parents, we were

281
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: concerned about how it was all going to work out.

282
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: Would he meet the right people, would he get the

283
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: right classes. Because we travel a lot, our children were homeschooled,

284
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 4: so he wasn't going to college with a bunch of friends.

285
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: He'd never been in a large classroom setting. This particular

286
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: college has forty thousand students. Could have been overwhelming, but

287
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: Victoria really wanted him to meet somebody right at the

288
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: start so he could have a friend or two. And

289
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 4: she was up at the parents' orientation on campus. She

290
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 4: met this lady and found out that her son was

291
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 4: in the communications department like Jonathan. She seemed like a

292
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 4: nice lady, like great people. So Victoria texted Jonathan he

293
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: was in the student's orientation. It said, try to find

294
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: a guy named Charlie. I just met his mother. I

295
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 4: think you'll like him. Well, read the text and thought,

296
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: there are several thousand people in communications, hundreds of this

297
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: room alone, How could I ever find him? The next session,

298
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: Jonathan walked in and sat down in a random chair.

299
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 4: The room was packed full of students. At one point,

300
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: the instructor told them to take a minute and meet somebody.

301
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: Jonathan naturally turned to the guy sitting right next to him.

302
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 4: Out of the corner of his eye on a notebook,

303
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 4: he could see a small name written at the bottom.

304
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 4: It said Charlie. He looked at him and said, I

305
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: think my mother texted me about you. Are you, Charlie.

306
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 4: He looked puzzled and he said, yes, that means you

307
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: must be Jonathan. My mother texted me about you. Out

308
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: of thousands of students. It just so happened. They were

309
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 4: sitting next to each other. You know what God was

310
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: saying to us as parents, I've got this, I'm in control.

311
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: I'm going to watch after your Jonathan and Charlie became

312
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 4: good friends, and recently they sat by each other at school.

313
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: One last time as they graduated together, Charlie told Jonathan,

314
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 4: let's finish like we started side by side. Are you

315
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 4: worrying about your children, stressed out over your job, discouraged

316
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 4: because of a disappointment, thinking it's not going to work out,

317
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 4: Come back to that place of peace. God's got this.

318
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: He's directing your steps. He's bringing the right people across

319
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 4: your path and your children's path. He has beauty for

320
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 4: the ashes right now. He's working behind the scenes in

321
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: your life. Dare to trust him. Dare to believe when

322
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 4: we worry, we tie the hands of Almighty God. We

323
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 4: all face situations that are bigger than us. A bad

324
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: medical report, you lost a major client trouble in a relationship,

325
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 4: it's easy to think of all the why it's not

326
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 4: going to work out. That's when you have to dig

327
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 4: your heels in and switch over into faith. No, God,

328
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 4: I know you've got this. Thank you for protecting my children,

329
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: Thank you for fighting my battles, thank you for healing

330
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 4: my bodies. When you're tempted to worry, turn it around

331
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: and thank God that he's working. Daniel could have said, God,

332
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 4: I was doing the right thing, I was being my best.

333
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 4: Why did this happen to me? But sometimes God will

334
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 4: allow difficult situations just to prove to you that he's God.

335
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 4: He could have kept Daniel out of the lions den.

336
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 4: He could have stopped the Hebrew teenagers from going into

337
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: the fiery furnaces. But God allows these things to not

338
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: only show you, but to show others that He's God.

339
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 4: When David defeated Goliath, a giant twice his size, it

340
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: wasn't just so David could be promoted, so David could

341
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 4: be honored. That victory was a sign to the Philistines,

342
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 4: a sign to all of their enemies, even a sign

343
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 4: to the Israelites that God was in control his hand

344
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 4: of favor and blessing was on them. Some of the

345
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: battles God allows in your life are not just about you.

346
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: It's to make a statement to the people around you.

347
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 4: Nothing speaks any louder than when people see the favor

348
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 4: on your life. When they see you overcoming obstacles that

349
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 4: should have held you back, defeating giants that were bigger,

350
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 4: accomplishing dreams where you didn't have the expertise, like the

351
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 4: King with Daniel. They will know you serve the true

352
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 4: and the living God. Not only that, when God brings

353
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 4: us through the lion's dens, through the fiery furnaces. Those

354
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: victories are like fuel to feed your faith. When you

355
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 4: face other challenges, you'll know if God did it for

356
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 4: me back, then he'll do it for me again. Don't

357
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: get discouraged when you face things you don't understand, obstacles

358
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: that are bigger than you. That's simply an opportunity for

359
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: God to show you who he is. It's one thing

360
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: to believe that God has power, believe that he can

361
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: do the impossible. That's good. But God wants you to

362
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: do more than just believe. He wants you to experience

363
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 4: his power. He's going to show you his greatness, show

364
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 4: you his favor. David had all kinds of things come

365
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: against him, not just giants, armies, his own family. He

366
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: had plenty of reasons to live worried, afraid, bitter. But

367
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 4: he said in Psalm twenty seven, the Lord is my

368
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord

369
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 4: protects me from danger? Why should I be afraid? When

370
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: people come against me, they will stumble and fall. Though

371
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 4: a mighty army surrounds me. My heart will know no fear.

372
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 4: Even if they attack. I will remain confident. David lived

373
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 4: with this attitude. God's got this. I'm not gonna be worried.

374
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna live upset. I know He's bigger than

375
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: any obstacle that I'm facing, he said a little later.

376
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 4: When trouble comes, God will hide me. He will place

377
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 4: me out of reach, high on a rock. You may

378
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: have enemies coming against you, but you have an advantage.

379
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 4: God has placed you out of reach. They can't defeat you,

380
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: they can't keep you from your destiny. Now do like David,

381
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 4: remain confident, keep your peace. May feel like you're surrounded

382
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 4: by an army. The truth is you are surrounded by

383
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 4: God's favor. The forces that are for you are greater

384
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: than the forces that are against you. David said, even

385
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: if attack, I won't get upset. Sickness may have attacked you,

386
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 4: Addictions may have attacked, Debt may have attacked That's a test.

387
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 4: Are you going to get worried? Live in fear? What

388
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 4: if it doesn't work out? Did you see the medical report?

389
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 4: There are forty thousand students. What if he doesn't meet

390
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: the right people, Stay in peace, remain confident. God's done

391
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: it for you in the past. He's going to do

392
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 4: it for you again in the future. In a few verses,

393
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 4: David said, I am confident I will see the goodness

394
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 4: of God. After all he had been through. You would

395
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: think he'd be negative, worried God where were you? He

396
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 4: was just the opposite. I know I'll see God's goodness.

397
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 4: In other words, I know God's got this. I talked

398
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: to a lady recently. She had been through a divorce.

399
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 4: She was carrying all the hurt and pain. She never

400
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 4: dreamed her life would turn out like it had, and

401
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: she was confused discourage, wondering why it had happened. One day,

402
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 4: while driving in her car, she felt God say to her,

403
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 4: I still have a good plan for your life. Let

404
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: go of the old I've got this. At that moment,

405
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: she made the decision to stop worrying, to stop being

406
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: down on herself. She let it go. All of a sudden,

407
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: She told how this heavy weight lifted off of her.

408
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: She got her joy back, her passion back. Now, new

409
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: doors are starting to open, new relationships, new opportunities. She's

410
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 4: starting to see the beauty for ashes. It all happened

411
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 4: when she changed her perspective. It's something weighing you down today.

412
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: Are you worried about a situation, frustrated by what didn't

413
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 4: work out, or maybe down on yourself because you're not

414
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: where you thought you would be. God is saying to

415
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: you what he said to her, I've got this. It's

416
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 4: not a surprised me. I have new beginnings. I have healing,

417
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: I have breakthroughs. I'm asking you to change your perspective,

418
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 4: switch over into faith. That's situation at work that you're

419
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 4: worried about. God's got it. That medical report that's keeping

420
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 4: you up at night living stressed is not making it

421
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 4: any better. Be still and know that he is God.

422
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: He has you in the palm of his hand. He's

423
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 4: got this. And yes, you may have enemies coming against you,

424
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: but like Daniel, God has placed you out of reach.

425
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: He's made you lie in proof. Now all through the day,

426
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 4: when you're tempted to worry, keep this phrase playing in

427
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 4: your mind. God's got this. If you'll do this, I

428
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: believe and declare, You're going to see God's goodness in

429
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 4: new ways. You're going to come out of the lion's dens,

430
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: rise higher, accomplish dreams, and become everything God's created you

431
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 4: to be. In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can

432
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 4: you say him in today? I'd like to give you

433
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 4: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

434
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll

435
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 4: repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I'll make

436
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 4: you my lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer,

437
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. Get in a good
