And I like to start with something funny, 41 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 4: and my brother Paul gave me this joke. I would 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 4: never normally tell it. It's way too corny, but you 43 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 4: can blame him. But I heard about this blonde lady. 44 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 4: She was outside doing yard work with her weed eater 45 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 4: when she accidentally cut off her cat's tail. He was 46 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: in the bushes. She didn't see him. She felt so 47 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 4: badly she grabbed the tail, grabbed the cat, said to 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 4: her friend, I'm going to Walmart. Her friend said Walmart. 49 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 4: While Walmart, she said, hello, They're the biggest retailer in 50 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: the world. Hold up your bible. Blame him, not me. 51 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 52 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 53 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be talk the word 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 56 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the saying in Jesus' name, 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 58 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 4: about staying in peace. We all have opportunities to get 59 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 4: worried and go around upset, frustrated, offended. Somebody's not treating 60 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: us right. We're dealing with the health issue. The project's 61 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 4: taking a lot longer than we thought. Life happens. God 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 4: never promised that we wouldn't have challenges and everything will 63 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 4: always go smoothly. No, the storms of life come to 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: every person but God did promise that we can have 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: peace in the midst of the storm. And just because 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: we're in a stressful situation doesn't mean that we have 67 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: to get stressed out. Just because the medical report wasn't 68 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 4: good or your plans didn't work out, doesn't mean that 69 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 4: you have to be frustrated. You may be in the storm. 70 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: The key is don't let the storm get in you. 71 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: Boat can be surrounded by water, sailing through a vast ocean, 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: water for miles in every direction, it's not any problem 73 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 4: unless the boat starts taking on the water. If the 74 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 4: boat starts allowing the ocean on the inside, before long, 75 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 4: it will sink. And it's the same principle in life. 76 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 4: You can have trouble all around you at the office, 77 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 4: people gossiping, playing politics at school, somebody trying to make 78 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 4: you look bad, at home, raising a difficult child, stress, frustration, worry, 79 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: it's all around you. But the good news is, just 80 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 4: like the boat, you don't have to allow what's on 81 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: the outside to get on the inside. Just because you're 82 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 4: surrounded by a situation that should be frustrating, Joel, they're 83 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: talking about me. I should be offended. Traffic's taken twice 84 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: as long as normal. I should be upset. No, don't 85 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: let the storm get in you. You don't start taking 86 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 4: on the water if you're controlled by your circumstances. Up 87 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 4: when things are up, down, when things don't go your way. 88 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: Life is going to be a roller coaster. God wants 89 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: you to be stable, consistent, not moved by any of 90 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 4: these things. And when you face an adversity, when you 91 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: hit a tough time, one of the best things you 92 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: can do is simply stay calm, keep your peace. When 93 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 4: you're in peace, that's a position of power. You're saying 94 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: with your actions, God, I trust you. I know you're 95 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 4: still on the throne. This may be difficult, but I 96 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 4: know you're fighting my battles. When you're in peace, you're 97 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: showing God by your actions that you're trusting him. The 98 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 4: scripture says, those who have believed enter into rest. Notice 99 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 4: when you're really believing there's a rest, Well, you did 100 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: can get the promotion? Aren't you upset? You are the 101 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 4: most qualified. No, I'm at peace. I know God has 102 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 4: something better. Promotion doesn't come from people. Promotion comes from 103 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 4: the Lord. When it's my time to be promoted, I 104 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 4: will be promoted that's what it means to stay at rest. 105 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 4: Some of you have been on that roller coaster for 106 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 4: a long time, allowing your circumstances to determine whether or 107 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 4: not you're going to be happy. You need to put 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 4: your foot down and say that's it. From now on, 109 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 4: I'm keeping my peace. I'm not going to allow what's 110 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 4: on the outside to get on the inside. I'm not 111 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 4: going to keep letting the same people frustrate me, the 112 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: same circumstances upset me. I'm going to enter into that 113 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: place of rest that not only allows God to work 114 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 4: in your life, but it's better for your health. We 115 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 4: were never created to live uptight, worried, stressed out. That 116 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: weakens our immune system won't fight off diseases like it should. 117 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: The reason some people can't overcome an illness, they're always tired, 118 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 4: run down, They don't have any energy. It's because they 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 4: worry all the time. On the inside. They're constantly wrought up. 120 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: Even when they go to bed at night, their mind 121 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: is still going ninety to nothing thinking about that problem, 122 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 4: what if I can't make that payment. All that time 123 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: you spend worrying, you are draining your energy. It's making 124 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: your weaker taking your creativity. You don't do your best 125 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: work when you're worried. You don't make good decisions when 126 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 4: you're stressed out. The Scripture even says you cannot add 127 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: one inch to your height by worrying. If we could, 128 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 4: some of us would be twenty feet tall. We've worried 129 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 4: so long. Worry is like a rocking chair. You're always moving, 130 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 4: but you're never going anywhere. When God created Adam, he 131 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 4: put him in the garden of Eden, a very quiet, peace, peaceful, 132 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 4: tranquil place. That's where God met him and spoke with him, 133 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 4: at a place of peace. In life, it can be 134 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 4: very noisy if we allow it. All of us can 135 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 4: live stressed, uptied, in a hurry on edge. But in 136 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: all the busyness, the bills to pay, the deadlines at 137 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 4: the office, the children to raise, the problems we're concerned 138 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 4: about in the midst of the hectic society, we've got 139 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: to learn to not let the busyness, the frustration, the 140 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: stress to get on the inside. May be very hectic 141 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: on the outside, but deep down in your spirit person, 142 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 4: there needs to be a calmness, a rest to where 143 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 4: you know God has you in the palm of his hand. 144 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: You know no weapon formed against you will ever prosper. 145 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 4: The scripture says, be still and know that I am God. 146 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 4: And some of you have been worried for a long time, 147 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 4: stressed because a dream hasn't come to pass, upset over 148 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 4: a challenge you're dealing with. You can't sleep at night. 149 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 4: It's taking your joy. But just like God met Adam 150 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 4: at a place of peace, God is saying, there may 151 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 4: be trouble turmoil all around on the outside, but if 152 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 4: you'll come back to that place of peace on the inside, 153 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 4: I will meet you there. I will give you wisdom, 154 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: I will give you strength. I will turn that situation around. 155 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 4: God meets us when we're in peace. I've been in 156 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 4: a hurricane before. In the center of the hurricane, there's 157 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 4: something called the eye of the storm, where it's very 158 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 4: calm and peaceful. All around there's chaos, Winds blow in 159 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 4: one hundred plus miles an hour, debris flying left and right, 160 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 4: danger everywhere. But as long as you're in the eye, 161 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 4: it's as calm and peaceful as can be. In life. 162 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 4: There will be times where it seems like everything is 163 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 4: out of control. My child's acting up, my company's talking 164 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 4: about laying people off. My loved One's about to pass. Challenges, adversities, 165 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: stress will come. But just like with the eye of 166 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 4: the storm, in the midst of that difficulty, there's a 167 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 4: place of peace that you can go to. The scripture 168 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 4: calls it the peace that passes all understanding. That means 169 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: you'll have peace when you should be upset. You'll have 170 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 4: peace when really you should be stressed out. Remember when 171 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 4: my father went to be with the Lord nineteen ninety nine. 172 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 4: That was the most difficult thing that I had ever faced. 173 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 4: Suddenly I lost my best friend. We had all these questions, 174 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: what's going to happen to the church? What if people 175 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 4: don't keep coming? The critics said, we'd never make it 176 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 4: without my father. The winds, the rains were very strong. 177 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: But in the midst of that storm, I felt this 178 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 4: indescribable peace. I should have been worried, but I wasn't. 179 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 4: I should have been stressed out, depressed, but I wasn't. 180 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 4: Why I was in the eye of the storm, I 181 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: chose to enter that place of rest. I said, God, 182 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 4: we know you're still on the throne. This may be 183 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 4: a surprise to us, but God, we know it's not 184 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 4: a surprise to you. When you stay calm in the 185 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 4: midst of the storm, you will feel a peace that 186 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 4: passes all understanding, a peace that doesn't even make sense. 187 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: One time Jesus was on a boat asleep. This huge 188 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 4: storm arose. The disciples were so afraid, so distraught, they 189 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 4: ran in frantically said Jesus, wake up, we're all about 190 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: to die. Jesus got up and simply spoke to the storm. 191 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: He said, peace be still. Instantly everything calmed down. The 192 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 4: reason Jesus could bring peace to that situation was because 193 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 4: he had peace on the inside. He was in the storm, 194 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: but he didn't let the storm get in him. And 195 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: if you get upset ben out of shape every time 196 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 4: things don't go your way, you can't bring peace to 197 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 4: that situation. Peace is not the absence of trouble. Peace 198 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 4: is not getting rid of all your enemies, overcoming all 199 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 4: your challenges, paying off all your bills. Now, there can 200 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 4: be trouble, conflict, challenges all around you on the outside, 201 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 4: but real peace is not allowing it on the inside. 202 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 4: I read about this contest where whoever painted the picture 203 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: that displayed peace in the greatest, most compelling way would 204 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 4: win the prize. There were all these paintings of very beautiful, 205 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 4: peaceful scenery, the sun setting over an ocean, palm trees 206 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 4: blowing in the wind, so peaceful. It was a pasture scene, 207 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 4: these rolling lush green hills, white picket fence, beautiful lake 208 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 4: in the background. One was a winter scene with fresh snow, 209 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: a small log cabin you could see through the window 210 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 4: the fireplace, majestic mountains in the background looked so warm 211 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 4: and cozy. But the painting that won first prize was 212 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 4: a picture of a huge storm, lightning flashing across the sky, 213 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 4: rain coming down, wind blowing the trees. It looked just 214 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 4: the opposite of peace. But over in the corner, in 215 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 4: the cleft of a rock, there was a bird in 216 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 4: her nest. Tucked away underneath her outstretched wings were six 217 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 4: of her baby birds. In the midst of this huge storm, 218 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 4: they were just sitting there, as calm and as peaceful 219 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 4: as can be. See, peace is not the absence of trouble. 220 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: Peace is knowing God is right there with you in 221 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 4: the midst of the trouble. It talks about in Psalms, 222 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 4: how God will cover us under his wings, God will 223 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 4: hide us in the rock. What am I saying, don't 224 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: wait for all your problems to resolve, and then you'll 225 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 4: decide to quit worrying, Joel. As soon as the traffic 226 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: gets better, soon as my boss retires, soon as my 227 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 4: husband straightens up. If you have that attitude, there will 228 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 4: always be something to keep you upset, frustrated, offended, discouraged. No, 229 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 4: make up your mind, you're going to have peace right 230 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: in the midst of the storm. You've heard the saying 231 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 4: Still waters run deep in the ocean. On the surface, 232 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: the water is always changing, depending on the wind, the tide, 233 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 4: what time of year, even what time of day. It 234 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: can be very smooth, ooth and calm. Later in the 235 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 4: day it can be rough and choppy. When the wind 236 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 4: is strong and the tide is just right, there can 237 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 4: be ten foot waves where a few days earlier it 238 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 4: was just small white caps. What's interesting is if you 239 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 4: go down about thirty feet deep, the water never changes. 240 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 4: It's as calm and still as can be right above it. 241 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 4: On the surface it may change a dozen times a day, 242 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: but thirty feet down never changes, always calm. That's the 243 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 4: way we need to be in life. On the surface, 244 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 4: things will always be going on, waves, wind, sometimes bigger 245 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 4: than other. You can't get away from all the traffic 246 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 4: or a person that irritates you, a challenge in your relationship, 247 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,119 Speaker 4: in your health. That's just life that will create waves 248 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 4: up on the surface. But deep down in that spirit person, 249 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 4: you've got to have a calmness, a peace in your spirit. 250 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 4: The scripture says in quietness and calmness will be by strength. 251 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: But when you're worried, you're moved by every circumstance, upset 252 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 4: because you're not getting your way offended what a neighbor said, 253 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 4: then you're living a very shallow life. You're focused on 254 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 4: the surface. The problem is you don't control the wind. 255 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 4: You can't control the tide. In other words, you don't 256 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 4: control what other people do. You can't control what your 257 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 4: neighbor says, or even what battles you fight. Really, the 258 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 4: only thing we can control is our own attitude. Life 259 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 4: is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent 260 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 4: how you respond. If you worry all the time, get 261 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 4: upset every time the traffic is bad, and frustrated because 262 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 4: you have an unexpected bill, my encouragement to you today 263 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 4: is go deeper. The surface is allays going to be changing. 264 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 4: You'll never get away from the test, the challenges, the adversities. 265 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 4: As long as you're alive, there'll be something to deal with. 266 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 4: But when you learn to go down to the deep waters, 267 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 4: you have this calmness, this rest. You know what's on 268 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 4: the surface is only temporary. A big wave hits you, 269 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 4: in your marriage, in your finances, in the natural. You 270 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 4: should be upset. On the surface, it looks big, insurmountable, 271 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 4: but deep down you've got a piece a calmness. You 272 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 4: know this too shall pass. That's what happened to three 273 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 4: teenagers in the scripture Shadrack Mijak of Bendigo. They wouldn't 274 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: bow down to the king's golden idol. They were about 275 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 4: to be thrown into a fiery furnace. The king threatened 276 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 4: them one last time. If you don't bow, this is it. 277 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 4: Your life is going to be over. You'd think they'd 278 00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: be upset, discouraged, all devastated. No, they were in the store. 279 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 4: But they didn't let the storm get in them. They 280 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 4: knew God had them in the palm. 281 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: Of his hand. 282 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 4: Listen, the enemy cannot stop God's destiny for your life. 283 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 4: He's not in control. God is in control. Satan had 284 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 4: to ask permission to even test Joe. God has a 285 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 4: hedge of protection around you. Nothing can happen without God's permission, 286 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 4: and God will not allow a difficulty unless he has 287 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 4: a divine purpose for it. If you'll keep your peace, 288 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 4: you'll pass the test, and God will bring you out 289 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 4: better than you were before. The Israelites were facing an 290 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 4: impossible situation, God told them, hold your peace, remain at rest, 291 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 4: and I will fight your battles. Notice there was a 292 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 4: condition something we have to do. Hold your peace. That 293 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 4: indicates something's trying to take it away. Thoughts of wordy fear, anxiety, 294 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 4: What if it doesn't happen? Going to do? If you 295 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 4: can just stay in peace, the creator of the universe, 296 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 4: the most High God, will go to work in your behalf. 297 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 4: Nothing can stand against our God. He has all power. 298 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 4: He stopped the sun for Joshua, He closed the mouths 299 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 4: of hungry lions for Daniel. He healed my mother of 300 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 4: terminal cancer. He gave us this building when it looked impossible. 301 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 4: Whatever you face in life, if you will just hold 302 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 4: your peace, remain at rest, God promises he will fight 303 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 4: your battles. He will make a way even when you 304 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 4: don't see away shadrak me Jack abid to go. They 305 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 4: should have been afraid, should have been distraught, but they 306 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: understood this principle. They said, King, we're not going to 307 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 4: bow down to your idol. Even if you throw us 308 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 4: into the furnace, We're not worried. We know our God 309 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: will deliver us, and even if he doesn't, we're still 310 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: I'm not going to bow down. They were saying. If 311 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 4: it happens our way, great, but if it doesn't work 312 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 4: out the way we wanted, we're still going to stay 313 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: in peace. I like that, Joel. I'm believing to get healed, 314 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: but even if I don't, I'm still in peace. I 315 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 4: know when I die, I'm going to go to heaven 316 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 4: and be with the Lord. That's not too bad that 317 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 4: person at the office that gets on my nerves. If 318 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 4: God removes them, fine. If God chooses to leave them, fine, 319 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 4: I'm still going to stay in peace. When you have 320 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 4: a made up mind that no matter what life deals 321 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 4: your way, you're going to stay calm and in peace, 322 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 4: all the forces of darkness cannot keep you from your destiny. 323 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 4: This is what the apostle Paul did. All kinds of 324 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 4: things came against him. He was shipwrecked, went days without 325 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 4: food or water, he was beaten with rods, falsely accused, 326 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 4: put into prison. Yet he said, none of these things 327 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 4: move me. Paul wasn't living on the surface. He was stable, consistent, 328 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 4: living in the deep waters. That's the attitude we need 329 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 4: to have. None of these things move me. Business is 330 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 4: a little slow. I'm not moved by it, not losing 331 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 4: any sleep. I know Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord, my provider. 332 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 4: He is supplying all of my needs. Traffic's backed up. 333 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 4: I'm not moved by it. My steps are ordered by 334 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 4: the Lord. Somebody's talking about me, not move by it. 335 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 4: That's a small wave that's on the surface. I'm in 336 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 4: the deep waters. Well I heard you got a bad 337 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 4: medical report. Yes, that's true, but I'm not moved by it. 338 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 4: I know God made my body the number of my 339 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: days he will fulfill. Well I saw your son got 340 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 4: into trouble again. Yes, but I'm not moved by it. 341 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 4: It's only temporary. As for me and my house, we 342 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 4: will serve the Lord. Some of you today would go 343 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 4: to a new level if you would quit letting so 344 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 4: many things move you. Life is too short to live 345 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 4: it offended upset, stressed out, discouraged. Every day is a 346 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 4: gift from God. Before you leave the house, you need 347 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: to make up your mind. Nothing is going to move 348 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 4: me today. Nothing's going to upset me, the traffic, the weather, 349 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 4: what somebody says, a delay, a disappointment. My plans may 350 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 4: not work out, but I know this. My God is 351 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 4: still on the throne. And if he before me, who 352 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 4: dare be against me? The scripture talks about putting on 353 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 4: the armor of God. One piece of that armor is 354 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 4: our shoes of peace. When you get up in the morning, 355 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 4: you need to make sure to put your shoes on. 356 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 4: You've got to prepare ahead of time that nothing is 357 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 4: going to frustrate you. Your child forgets his lunch, You've got 358 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 4: to run back to the school and it stresses you out. 359 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 4: What's the problem your barefoot? You forgot to put your 360 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 4: shoes on at the grocery store. If somebody's rude to you, 361 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 4: you're about to be rude back to them. No quit 362 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 4: leaving the house barefoot. Make sure you put your shoes 363 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 4: a peace on every morning. Victoria and I and our 364 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 4: children went to Australia not long ago to hold a 365 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 4: night of hope. It was a sixteen hour flight over there, 366 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 4: and before we left someone gave us a small bag 367 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: of toiletries as a gift. Had a toothbrush in it 368 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 4: and mouth wash, earplugs, things you might need on a 369 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 4: long flight. About thirty minutes before we landed in Sydney, 370 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 4: Victoria opened hers up and got out this small aerosol can. 371 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 4: Looked like that kind of water you spray on your 372 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 4: face to freshen up. She leaned over to me and 373 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 4: gonna use me as the guinea pig. Joy, you want 374 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: some of this? And I said no, Victoria, I don't 375 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 4: want any Oh come on, Joe, it'll make you feel good. 376 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 4: Just try something, I said, Victoria, I don't want any Oh, Joy, 377 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 4: it'll just freshen you up. Come on, try it, said Victoria. 378 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 4: I do not want any of that in my face. 379 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 4: She said, okay. She started spreading it all over her 380 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 4: face and saying real dramatically, Oh, this feels so good. 381 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 4: She sprayed some more. Oh, Joe, you don't know what 382 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 4: you're missing, on and on, over dramatic. At that time, 383 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 4: I smell something really strange, I said, Victoria, are you 384 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 4: sure that's water? It smells like perfume. She touched her face. 385 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 4: She said, I don't know. It's sticky too, and said, 386 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 4: give me that bottle. It's all in another language. The 387 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 4: only thing I could read right at the very bottom, 388 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 4: it said spray deodorant. She said, what am I going 389 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 4: to do? I said, keep your peace. When you live right, 390 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: God will protect you, even from your wife. Two Timothy 391 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 4: Ford says, be calm, cool and steady, unflinchingly endure hardships. 392 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 4: I like that word. Unflinchingly. Somebody says something derogatory about you, 393 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 4: don't even flinch, don't blin. Don't let it phase you. 394 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 4: I got my sh use a peace on. Plus, I 395 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 4: got my earplugs in. You didn't get a good report 396 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 4: about your health. Don't fall apart all man. I've been praying, 397 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 4: I've been eating right. I don't understand. Yo, I'm so upset. 398 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 4: Don't flinch. Tap into the deep waters. That's the surface 399 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 4: waves come and go. Be calm, cool and steady. That's 400 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: not just being tough. That's showing God that you're trusting him. 401 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 4: You applied for the loan, it didn't go through. Don't flinch. 402 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: God knows what he's doing. You had big plans. They 403 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 4: got canceled. Don't flinch. It's only a test. You thought 404 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 4: that person you were dating was the right one didn't 405 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 4: work out, don't flinch. God has somebody better in store. See, 406 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 4: it's one thing to go through a difficulty and everybody 407 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 4: knows about it. Your family's praying, friends are cheering your own, 408 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 4: Your coworkers are standing with you. There's nothing wrong with that. 409 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: We certainly need each other. But when you go through 410 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 4: a difficulty and nobody knows anything about it, You've still 411 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 4: got a smile on your face. You're still being good 412 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: to people, You're still singing in the choir, You're still 413 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 4: giving it your all at the office. The enemy did 414 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 4: his best, but you didn't flinch. You didn't have a 415 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 4: nervous breakdown. You didn't get bitter. You didn't give up 416 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 4: on your marriage. You didn't drop out a church, you 417 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 4: didn't quit dreaming. You kept being your best. God is saying, 418 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 4: because you have endured unflinchingly, I'm about to turn that 419 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 4: situation around. I'm about to restore what's been stolen. I'm 420 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 4: about to show you healing, favor, promotion, breakthroughs like you've 421 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 4: never seen.

Some of you have been in 423 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 4: a difficulty for a long time, and you're wondering if 424 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 4: it's ever going to change, Is it ever going to 425 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 4: get better? God made a promise in Exodus thirty three. 426 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 4: He's saying it to you, I will give you Everything 427 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 4: will be fine for you. Let those words sink down 428 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: into your spirit. Everything will be fine.
