36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: about this ninety two year old man. He wasn't feeling

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 5: up to par, so we went to the doctor. A

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 5: few days later. The doctor saw him out in the

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 5: park with a beautiful young lady by his side. He

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: seemed as happy as condemned. The doctor said, Wow, you

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 5: sure are feeling a lot better, aren't you. He said, yes, doctor,

43
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: I'm just following your orders. You said get a hot

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 5: mama and stay cheerful. The doctor said, I didn't say that.

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful man.

46
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 5: He heard what he wanted to hear. But say like

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 5: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 5: it says I am. I have what it says I have.

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about God's got this.

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: We all have things that come against us. It's easy

55
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 5: to live up tight, wondering how it's going to work out.

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: What if the medical report isn't good, What if my

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 5: finances don't get better, what if my child doesn't get

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: accepted in that school. We tried to figure it out.

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: We've done our best, but we don't see anything changing.

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: And if we're not careful, we'll live worried, discouraged, not

61
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 5: expecting it to get better. But there's a simple phrase

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 5: you have to keep down in your spirit. God's got this.

63
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 5: He's on the throne, he sees what's happening. He already

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 5: has the solution. You don't have to figure it out.

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 5: There may not be a logical answer in the natural.

66
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: You don't see a way that's okay. We serve a

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 5: supernatural God. He has ways to do it we've never

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: thought of. And instead of trying to force it to happen,

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: living up tight, you have to let go and let God.

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 5: When you turn it over to him and say God,

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 5: I know you've got this. I know you're in control.

72
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: Not only need will you feel the heaviness, the weight

73
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 5: lift off of you, but God will make things happen

74
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 5: that you couldn't make happen. And some of the things

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: that are frustrating you now causing you to lose sleep,

76
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 5: that would all change if you would have this new

77
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: perspective that God's got this. Sometimes we're trying to play God.

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: We're trying to make our boss promote us and make

79
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 5: ourselves get well and make the contract go through. But

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 5: as long as we're trying to force it, live in frustrated, worried,

81
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 5: then God steps back. But when you take your hands

82
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: off and say God, I know you've got this, I'm

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 5: not going to worry about my finances. I'm not going

84
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: to live up tight because of the medical report. I'm

85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 5: not going to be frustrated because I haven't met the

86
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 5: right person. God, I trust your timing and I trust

87
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 5: your ways. My life is in your hands. God never

88
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: that we wouldn't have difficulties, but he did promise he

89
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: would give us strength for every battle. He would take

90
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: what was meant for harm and use to our advantage.

91
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: You may have a good reason to worry about something

92
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 5: in your health, your finances, a dream, you've done everything

93
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 5: you can, doesn't look like it's going to work out.

94
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: Stay in faith. God is saying I've got this. I'm

95
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 5: working behind the scenes. I'm in the process of turning

96
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 5: it around. It's just a matter of time before you

97
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 5: see things change in your favor. Now live out of

98
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 5: a place of peace, a place of trust. It may

99
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 5: not happen the way you thought, but God's ways are

100
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 5: better than our ways. God knows what's best for you.

101
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: He's got this. In the Scripture, a young man named

102
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 5: Daniel worked for King Darius. The king loved Daniel. Daniel

103
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: was so good at what he did. The king was

104
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 5: going to put Daniel in charge of his whole empire.

105
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 5: But when the other leaders heard this, they were jealous.

106
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 5: They came up with a plan to get rid of Daniel.

107
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: When you excel, when your gifts come out in great ways,

108
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 5: don't be surprised if people get jealous. Everyone is not

109
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 5: going to celebrate you. Some people will try to find

110
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: fault and hold you back. The good news is people

111
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: don't determine your destiny. God does. Keep being your best

112
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 5: and let God fight your battles. Don't get distracted trying

113
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 5: to prove to them who you are. God will be

114
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 5: your vindicator. God will take care of your enemies. These

115
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 5: people that were against Daniel tried to manipulate the king.

116
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 5: They said, King, you're so great. We've written a decree

117
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 5: that for the next thirty days no one can pray

118
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 5: to any one accept you. If they do, they'll be

119
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 5: thrown into a lion's den. They did this because they

120
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: knew Daniel prayed to Jehovah. They convinced the king to

121
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 5: sign this decree, but that didn't change Daniel. Three times

122
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 5: a day, just like normal, he knelt down on his knees,

123
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: opened his windows, and prayed to the God of Abraham,

124
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 5: the god of Isaac, the god of Jacob. They ran

125
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 5: back and told the king this god, Daniel, one of

126
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: the captives from the tribe of Judah, is defying your order.

127
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: The king was upset with himself. He knew they had

128
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 5: manipulated him, but he couldn't go back on his word,

129
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: so he had Daniel sent to the lion's den. What's

130
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 5: interesting is that whole night the king fasted for Daniel.

131
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 5: When you're in difficult situations, God has people praying for

132
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: you that you don't know anything about. This king was

133
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: supposed to be his enemy, but he was actually believing

134
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 5: for Daniel's safety. When they arrested Daniel and took him

135
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 5: to the lion's den, he wasn't afraid, worried, panicked. He

136
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 5: understood this principle. A little earlier. Daniel had seen his

137
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 5: friends Shadracknejak and Abednego, the Hebrew teenagers, get thrown into

138
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: a fiery furnace and come out without the smell of smoke.

139
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: Daniel's attitude was God's got this. I'm in the palm

140
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: of his hand. Nothing can snatch me away. If it's

141
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 5: not my time to go, I'm not going to go,

142
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 5: he stayed in peace. The apostle Paul said, for me,

143
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 5: to live is Christ and to die is game. He

144
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 5: was saying, in effect, if I live, I'm going to

145
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 5: give God praise, and if I don't live, I'm going

146
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 5: to give God praise. Either way, I'm gonna stay in faith,

147
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 5: knowing that God's got this. What you're facing may be bigger, stronger,

148
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: more powerful. But when you refuse to worry, when you

149
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 5: refuse to live stressed out. Instead, you stay in peace,

150
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: thanking God that he's fighting your battles, knowing that he's

151
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 5: in control. You are showing God by your actions that

152
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: you're trusting him. One evening, the authorities threw Daniel into

153
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 5: the lions den. They expected him to be eaten in

154
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 5: a few minutes. These were hungry lions, that's the way

155
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 5: it always happened. But God supernaturally closed the mouths of

156
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 5: the lions for some reason. They thought, I'm not hungry tonight.

157
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: I don't feel like eating. One said, yeah, I'm full too,

158
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 5: I've got indigestion. I'm going to bed. God made Daniel

159
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 5: unadvertizing to those lions, have you ever sat down to eat?

160
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 5: But when you look at the food. You think, Ah,

161
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 5: I'm not hungry for this. I used to love tuna sandwiches.

162
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 5: I would eat one every night. And a few years

163
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: after we were married, I'd had a virus for a

164
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 5: day or so and I's just getting over it. Victoria,

165
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 5: being nice, brought me a tuna sandwich. When I smelled

166
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: that tuna, almost threw out. Now, I thought that is

167
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 5: the worst smelling food in all the world. Yet I

168
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: would eat one every day. I can imagine when these

169
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: lions looked at Daniel, they were confused, thinking we should

170
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 5: eat this man. We like a good steak dinner. But

171
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 5: something is different tonight. We don't have our normal appetite.

172
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 5: God knows how to make you unappetizing to the enemy.

173
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 5: What should normally take you out, What should normally defeat

174
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 5: you for some reason. It can't harm you, It can't

175
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 5: stop your business, It can't take your health. There is

176
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 5: a bloodline God has put around you and your family.

177
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 5: He controls the universe, He controls the lions, He controls

178
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: the enemies. You're not at the mercy of random events,

179
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 5: people wanting to do you wrong, bad breaks. God has

180
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 5: a hedge of protection around you. Nothing can happen without

181
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 5: his permission. That's why we don't have to live worried, uptight.

182
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 5: We're in a controlled environment. When the Hebrew teenagers were

183
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 5: about to be thrown into the fiery furnace because they

184
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: wouldn't bow down to the king's golden idol, they said,

185
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: we know our God will deliver us, but even if

186
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 5: he doesn't, we're still not going to bow down. They

187
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 5: weren't panicked, they weren't upset bitter. They knew they were

188
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: in a controlled environment. They were saying, like Paul, if

189
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: we live, we're going to give God praise. If we

190
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 5: don't live, we're going to go to heaven and still

191
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 5: give God praise. They stayed in faith, knowing that God

192
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 5: has the final sayings. And yes, at some point we're

193
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 5: all going to die, but I've made up my mind.

194
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: I'm going to die in faith. I'm going to die believing, expecting, trusting, praising,

195
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 5: smiling with a good attitude, knowing that God is in

196
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: complete control. Nothing can snatch you out of his hands.

197
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 5: The number of your days he will fulfill in life

198
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 5: and in death. We have to know God's got this.

199
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 5: In the lions Den that night, Daniel wasn't uptight on edge.

200
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: Think it. I've made it this far, but any moment

201
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: these lions could turn on me. Animals can sense when

202
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 5: you're afraid. They know when you're scared of them. But

203
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 5: when you'll calm, you have your shoulders back, you're confident,

204
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 5: they know you're the authority. We go hiking in the mountains,

205
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 5: sometimes they tell you, if you see a bear, don't

206
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: take off running, don't panic, don't lose your poise, be still,

207
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 5: be calm, carry yourself with a quiet confidence. In the

208
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 5: same way, when you face enemies in life, the enemy

209
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 5: of sickness, the enemy of addiction, the enemy of debt.

210
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: Those enemies can sense when you're afraid of them. They'll

211
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: take more ground. That's why the scripture says, give no

212
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 5: place to the enemy. But when they see you standing strong,

213
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 5: thanking God, when you could be complaining, being good to people,

214
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 5: when you could be bitter at peace, when you could

215
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: be panic, you are sending a message to those enemies

216
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 5: that says loud and clear, you have no power over me.

217
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 5: You cannot stop me. My God is in control. And

218
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 5: if he before me, who dare be against me? I

219
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 5: can imagine Daniel, instead of worrying, he found a nice

220
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 5: soft piece of grass, laid down, fell asleep. Early the

221
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: next morning, the king came running out to the lions

222
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 5: den to see what happened. The scripture says he called

223
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 5: out in anguish Daniel, servant of the Living God, was

224
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 5: the God you constantly worship able to save you. Notice

225
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 5: how he addressed Daniel. Daniel was in there because he

226
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: was worshiping a different God, yet the king called him

227
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 5: Daniel's son of the Living God. Even the king knew

228
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 5: something was different about Daniel. When he saw Daniel come

229
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 5: walking toward him unharmed, passing the lions, the king couldn't

230
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 5: believe it. He was overjoyed. Verse twenty three says not

231
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: a scratch was found on Daniel because he trusted in

232
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 5: his God. Amazing things happen, and when you stay in

233
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 5: faith and trust God. God not only protected Daniel, but

234
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 5: the king ordered the men that conspired against Daniel to

235
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 5: be arrested and thrown into the same lions den. But

236
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: they didn't have the same outcome. Before they hit the ground,

237
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 5: the hungry lions tore them apart. The king issued a

238
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 5: new decree. It said, from now on, everyone in my

239
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 5: kingdom should worship the God of Daniel. He rescues his people.

240
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: He's the living God. But here's the key. God doesn't

241
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 5: deliver us from every difficulty. Most of the time, he

242
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 5: takes us through the difficulty. Daniel's faith didn't keep him

243
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 5: out of the lion's den, but his faith did make

244
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 5: him lion proof. That's what brought him out of the

245
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: lion's den. But if Daniel, if those teenagers had been

246
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 5: worse read panic negative, maybe there would have been a

247
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: different outcome. Maybe we wouldn't be talking about them today.

248
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 5: I'm asking you to quit worrying about what you're facing.

249
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 5: Quit losing sleep over that child that's not doing right.

250
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: Quit being upset because somebody did you wrong. Your dream

251
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 5: hasn't come to pass yet. Can I tell you God's

252
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 5: got this like he did for Daniel. He's going to

253
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: make a way where you don't see away, like he

254
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: did for the Hebrew teenagers. God's going to protect you,

255
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: favor you, get you to where you're supposed to be.

256
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 5: David said, though I walk through the valley of the

257
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 5: shadow of Death, I will fear no evil. God is

258
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 5: not just with you on the mountaintops. He's with you

259
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 5: in the valleys when you're going through things. He knows

260
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 5: what you're up against. The scripture says God is concerned

261
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 5: about what concerns you. Sparrow doesn't fall to the ground

262
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 5: without God knowing about it. How much more is God

263
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 5: concerned about what's happening in your life? Trusting live from

264
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 5: a place of peace. This is a decision we have

265
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: to make on a daily basis, because every day there's

266
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: something to worry about. There's some reason to get upset

267
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 5: all through the day. Keep this phrase close to your heart.

268
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: God's got this. He's concerned about me. He's working in

269
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 5: my life. He's bigger than my enemies. He's lining up

270
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 5: the right people, He's arranging things in my favor. That

271
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 5: attitude of faith is what allows God to do amazing things.

272
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: Four years ago, when our son Jonathan was going off

273
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 5: to college for his freshman year. As parents, we were

274
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 5: concerned about how it was all going to work out.

275
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 5: Would he meet the right people, would he get the

276
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: right classes. Because we travel a lot, our children were homeschooled,

277
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 5: so he wasn't going to college with a bunch of friends.

278
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 5: He'd never been in a large classroom setting. This particular

279
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: college has forty thousand students could have been overwhelming, but

280
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 5: Victoria really wanted him to meet somebody right at the

281
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 5: start so he could have a friend or two. And

282
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: she was up at the parents' orientation on campus. She

283
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 5: met this lady and found out that her son was

284
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 5: in the communications department like Jonathan. She seemed like a

285
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 5: nice lady, like great people. So Victoria texted Jonathan he

286
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 5: was in the student's orientation. It said, try to find

287
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 5: a guy named Charlie. I just met his mother. I

288
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 5: think you'll like him. Well. Jonathan read the text and thought,

289
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 5: there are several thousand people in communications, hundreds of this

290
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 5: room alone. How could I ever find him? The next session,

291
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 5: Jonathan walked in and sat down in a random chair.

292
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 5: The room was packed full of students. At one point,

293
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 5: the instructor told them to take a minute and meet somebody.

294
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 5: Jonathan naturally turned to the guy sitting right next to him.

295
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 5: Out of the corner of his eye on a notebook,

296
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 5: he could see a small name written at the bottom.

297
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 5: It said Charlie. He looked at him and said, I

298
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 5: think my mother texted me about you. Are you Charlie?

299
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 5: He looked puzzled and he said, yes, that means you

300
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 5: must be Jonathan. My mother texted me about you. Out

301
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: of thousands of students. It just so happened they were

302
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 5: sitting next to each other. You know what God was

303
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 5: saying to us as parents, I've got this, I'm in control.

304
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 5: I'm going to watch after your children. Jonathan and Charlie

305
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 5: became good friends, and recently they sat by each other

306
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 5: at school. One last time as they graduated together, Charlie

307
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: told Jonathan, let's finish like we started side by side.

308
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 5: Are you worrying about your children? Stressed out over your job,

309
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 5: discourage because of a disappointment, thinking it's not going to

310
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 5: work out. Come back to that place of peace. God's

311
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 5: got this. He's directing your steps. He's bringing the right

312
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 5: people across your path, in your children's path. He has

313
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 5: beauty for the ashes right now. He's working behind the

314
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 5: scenes in your life. Dare to trust him. Dared to

315
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 5: believe when we worry, we tie the hands of Almighty God.

316
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 5: We all face situations that are bigger than us. A

317
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: bad medical report, you lost a major client, trouble in

318
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: a relationship. It's easy to think of all the reasons

319
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 5: why it's not going to work out. That's when you

320
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 5: have to dig your heels in and switch over into faith. No, God,

321
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: I know you've got this. Thank you for protecting my children,

322
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 5: Thank you for fighting my battles. Thank you for healing

323
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 5: my bodies. When you're tempted to worry, turn it around

324
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 5: and thank God that he's working. Daniel could have said, God,

325
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 5: I was doing the right thing, I was being my best.

326
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 5: Why did this happen to me? But sometimes God will

327
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 5: allow difficult situations just to prove to you that he's God.

328
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 5: He could have kept Daniel out of the lions den.

329
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 5: He could have stopped the Hebrew teenagers from going into

330
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 5: the fiery furnaces. But God allows these things to not

331
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 5: only show you, but to show others that he's God.

332
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 5: When David defeated Goliath, a giant twice his size, it

333
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 5: wasn't just so David could be promoted. So David could

334
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 5: be honored. That victory was assigned to the Philistines, assigned

335
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 5: to all of their enemies, even assigned to the Israelites,

336
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: that God was in control, his hand of favor and

337
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 5: blessing was on them. Some of the battles God allows

338
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: in your life are not just about you. It's to

339
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 5: make a statement to the people around you. Nothing speaks

340
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 5: any louder than when people see the favor on your life.

341
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 5: When they see you overcoming obstacles that should have held

342
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 5: you back, defeeding giants that were bigger, accomplishing dreams where

343
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: you didn't have the expertise like the king with Daniel.

344
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 5: They will know you serve the true and the living God.

345
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 5: Not only that, when God brings us through the lion's dens,

346
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 5: through the fiery furnaces. Those victories are like fuel to

347
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 5: feed your faith. When you face other challenges, you'll know

348
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 5: if God did it for me back, then he'll do

349
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 5: it for me again. Don't get discouraged when you face

350
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: things you don't understand, obstacles that are bigger than you.

351
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 5: That's simply an opportunity for God to show you who

352
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: he is. It's one thing to believe that God has power,

353
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 5: believe that he can do the impossible. That's good. But

354
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: God wants you to do more than just believe. He

355
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 5: wants you to experience his power. He's going to show

356
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 5: you his greatness, show you his favor. David had all

357
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 5: kinds of things come against him, not just giants, armies,

358
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 5: his own family. He had plenty of reasons to live worried, afraid, bitter,

359
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 5: But he said in Psalm twenty seven, the Lord is

360
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 5: my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The

361
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 5: Lord protects me from danger? Why should I be afraid?

362
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: When people come against me, they will stumble and fall.

363
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 5: Though a mighty army surrounds me. My heart will know

364
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 5: no fear. Even if they attack, I will remain confident.

365
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 5: David lived with this attitude. God's got this. I'm not

366
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 5: gonna be worried. I'm not gonna live upset. I know

367
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: He's bigger than any obstacle that I'm facing, he said

368
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 5: a little later. When trouble comes, God will hide me.

369
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: He will place me out of reach, high on a rock.

370
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 5: You may have enemies coming against you, but you have

371
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 5: an advantage. God has placed you out of rich. They

372
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 5: can't defeat you, They can't keep you from your destiny.

373
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 5: Now do like David, remain confident, keep your peace. May

374
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 5: feel like you're surrounded by an army. The truth is

375
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 5: you are surrounded by God's favor. The forces that are

376
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 5: for you are greater than the forces that are against you.

377
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 5: David said, even if they attack, I won't get upset.

378
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 5: Sickness may have attacked you, Addictions may have attacked, debt

379
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 5: may have attacked That's a test. Are you going to

380
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 5: get worried? Live in fear? What if it doesn't work out?

381
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 5: Did you see the medical report forty thousand students? What

382
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: if he doesn't meet the right people? Stay in peace,

383
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 5: remain confident. God's done it for you in the past.

384
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: He's going to do it for you again in the future.

385
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 5: In a few verses, David said, I am confident I

386
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: will see the goodness of God. After all he had

387
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 5: been through. You would think he'd be negative. Worry God,

388
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 5: where were you? He was just the opposite. I know

389
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 5: I'll see God's goodness. In other words, I know God's

390
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 5: got this. I talked to a lady recently. She had

391
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: been through a divorce and she was carrying all the

392
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 5: hurt and pain. She never dreamed her life would turn

393
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 5: out like it had, and she was confused, discouraged, wondering

394
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 5: why it had happened. One day, while driving in her car,

395
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 5: she felt God say to her, I still have a

396
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 5: good plan for your life. Let go of the old

397
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: I've got this. At that moment, she made the decision

398
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 5: to stop worrying, to stop being down on herself. She

399
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: let it go all of a sudden. She told how

400
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 5: this heavy weight lifted off of her. She got her

401
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 5: joy back, her passion back. Now, new doors are starting

402
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 5: to open, new relationships, new opportunities. She's starting to see

403
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 5: the beauty for ashes. It all happened when she changed

404
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 5: her perspective. It's something weighing you down today. Are you

405
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 5: worried about a situation, frustrated by what didn't work out,

406
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 5: or maybe down on yourself because you're not where you

407
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 5: thought you would be. God is saying to you what

408
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 5: he said to her. I've got this. It's not a

409
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: surprise to me. I have new beginnings, I have healing,

410
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 5: I have breakthroughs. I'm asking you to change your perspective.

411
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: Switch over into faith. That situation at work that you're

412
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 5: worried about. God's got it. That medical will that's keeping

413
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 5: you up at night, living stressed is not making it

414
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: any better. Be still and know that he is God.

415
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 5: He has you in the palm of his hand. He's

416
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 5: got this. And yes, you may have enemies coming against you,

417
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 5: but like Daniel, God has placed you out of reach.

418
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 5: He's made you lie in proof. Now all through the day,

419
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 5: when you're tempted to worry, keep this phrase playing in

420
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 5: your mind. God's got this. If you'll do this, I

421
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 5: believe and declare You're going to see God's goodness in

422
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: new ways. You're going to come out of the lion's dens,

423
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: rise higher, accomplish dreams, and become everything God's created you

424
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 5: to be. In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can

425
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 5: you say him in today? I'd like to give you

426
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 5: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

427
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 5: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll

428
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 5: repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I make

429
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 5: you my Lord and Savior. If you prayed that simple prayer,

430
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 5: we believe you got born again. Get in a good
