I like to start 37 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 5: with something funny, and I heard about this man. He 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 5: called the church office and said, I want to speak 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 5: to the head hog at the trough. The secretary was offended. 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 5: She said, if you mean the pastor, you're going to 41 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 5: have to call him pastor, but you may not call 42 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 5: him the head hog at the troth. He said, well, 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 5: find but I was thinking about making a five thousand 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 5: dollars donation to your church. She said, hang on, poor kid, 45 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 5: just walked in. Say it like you mean it. This 46 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 5: is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 47 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 48 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 50 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 51 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about uncommon. It's easy to 53 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 5: fit in and do what everyone else is doing. Our 54 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 5: neighbors complain, so we complain. Our coworkers show up late, 55 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 5: so we show up late. Our relatives have addictions, so 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 5: we have addictions. It's normal. It's common. But God did 57 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 5: not create you to be common. He didn't breathe his 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 5: life into you so you can do what everyone else does. 59 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 5: You were created to be uncommon, to live by a 60 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 5: higher standard, to do what others aren't willing to do, 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 5: to believe for things that others think are too big. 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 5: He created you to stand out in the crowd, to 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 5: be a cut above everyone. At work. May be complaining 64 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 5: that's common, but that's not you. You're uncommon. Instead of 65 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 5: joining in, you find something to be grateful for. You 66 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 5: don't focus on what's wrong. You thank God for what's right. 67 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 5: Why you're uncommon? People around you may have a small vision. 68 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: They think they've reached their limits. Now they've settled where 69 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 5: they are, and they're just going through the motions of life. 70 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 5: That's common, but that's not you. You're passionate about your future. 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 5: You believe for big things. You're expecting new levels. You know, 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 5: the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. Or 73 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 5: maybe everyone around you is compromising. They're not faithful in relationships, 74 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 5: they're dishonest in business dealings. They do anything to get ahead. 75 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 5: That's common, but that's not you. You're a person of excellence. 76 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 5: You do the right thing when no one is looking. 77 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 5: You keep your word when it costs you something other 78 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 5: people don't understand. You could have compromised to get ahead, 79 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 5: nobody would have known. But you live by a higher standard. 80 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 5: Why is that you're uncommon? That's the kind of people 81 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: God rewards. Complainers are a dime, a dozen compromisers are 82 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 5: all around naysayers. I can't accomplish my dreams. You'll see 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 5: them every day. That's common. But God is looking for 84 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 5: uncommon people, people that don't go with the majority, people 85 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 5: that don't lower their standards, looking for people that go 86 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 5: against the grain, people that have uncommon faith, that believe 87 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 5: when it seems impossible, uncommon commitment, that do the right 88 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 5: thing when it's hard, and uncommon attitude when everyone around 89 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 5: is negative, bitter, moody, you have a smile, your kind, 90 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 5: your good nature. When you make this decision to not 91 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 5: fit in, to not be like everyone else, but to 92 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 5: be uncommon, then you will see uncommon favor, uncommon opportunities, 93 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 5: uncommon breakthroughs, uncommon victories. But we are living in a 94 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 5: day where the standards are being lowered, where it's acceptable 95 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 5: to compromise, to not have integrity, to take the easy 96 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 5: way out, and if we're not careful, will adapt to 97 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 5: our environment, will become like everybody else. But there's nothing 98 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 5: special about common, nothing signific again about ordinary. God wants 99 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 5: you to stand out. When people look at us, they 100 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 5: should say there's something different about them. They're a cut above, 101 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 5: they're excellent, they're trustworthy, they're committed, they're loyal, they're happy. 102 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 5: What they're really saying is they're uncommon, Paul said in Romans, 103 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 5: don't let society squeeze you into its mold. There's a 104 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 5: constant pressure trying to squeeze us into being common. People 105 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 5: at work may slack off, waste time playing around, do 106 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 5: a half hearted job. Don't be squeezed into that mold. 107 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 5: Don't let that thinking rub off on you. If they 108 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 5: want to be mediocre, if they want to be common, 109 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 5: that's their choice. But that's not who you are. You 110 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 5: are uncommon, stand out in the crowd. Do the right 111 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 5: thing when the boss is not around. Don't sink down 112 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 5: to their level. Set a new stand. People around you 113 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 5: may be giving into temptation, doing things you know are 114 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 5: not the best. Thoughts will tell you it's okay, it's not 115 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 5: hurting anything. You only live once. That's the enemy trying 116 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 5: to deceive you into being common. He knows if you're 117 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 5: like everyone else, if there's nothing different about you, then 118 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 5: you won't become all you were created to be. Don't 119 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 5: fall into that trap. Be uncommon, be different, Live by 120 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 5: a higher standard. Well, Joel, everyone is doing it, everyone's partying, 121 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 5: everyone's slacking off, everyone's negative. Here's the key. You're not everyone. 122 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 5: You're the exception. The scripture says you've been set apart. 123 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 5: You are a chosen people. That's saying you're not common. 124 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 5: You're not like everyone else. You've not only been handpicked 125 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 5: by the most high God. He not only chose you, 126 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 5: but he has set you apart. He's made you uncommon. 127 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 5: Could it be the reason you're not seeing favor is 128 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 5: your being common. The reason you're not going to the 129 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 5: next level is you've let society squeeze you into its mold, 130 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 5: and now there's nothing different about you. You're like everyone else. 131 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 5: It's time to break out of that mold. That is 132 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 5: not who you are. You may be surrounded by people 133 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 5: that are lazy, indifferent, not going anywhere. Don't be squeezed 134 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 5: into that mold. Don't let that keep you from your destiny. 135 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 5: You've been set apart. You're not common. Now do your 136 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 5: part and don't live common. This is what Daniel did 137 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 5: in the scripture. He was a Hebrew teenager that was 138 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 5: brought out of Judah into Babylon to be trained to 139 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 5: serve the king. But the Babylonians had all these customs 140 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 5: that didn't agree with the Jewish faith. They worship many 141 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 5: different gods, and they wanted Daniel to fit in and 142 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 5: worship their gods. The first thing they did was change 143 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 5: his name from Daniel, which means God is my judge, 144 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 5: to belt a shazar, which means worshiper of Bell. They 145 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 5: wanted him to forget about the God of Israel and 146 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 5: start worshiping their idols. Daniel could have accepted it and thought, 147 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 5: this is what everybody's doing. I'm in their nation, I'm 148 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 5: surrounded by people that worship idols. I'll just fit in, 149 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 5: go with the flow. But Daniel understood this principle. He 150 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 5: didn't let them squeeze him into their mold. He knew 151 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 5: he had been set apart, that he wasn't supposed to 152 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 5: be common, and they put all this pressure on Daniel 153 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 5: to change. But the scripture says Daniel purposed in his 154 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 5: heart he would not defile himself by eating the king's 155 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 5: food and drinking the king's wine. He was saying, in effect, 156 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 5: everyone around me may be compromising, they're taking the easy 157 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 5: way out, but I am not going to lower my standards. 158 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 5: I'm not going to fit in and become common. I'm 159 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 5: going to live by a higher standard. When the person 160 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 5: in charge saw how determined he was. He said he 161 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 5: would give Daniel ten days to eat his own food, 162 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: then they see how he was doing. After those ten days, 163 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: Daniel came out stronger and healthier than all the other 164 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 5: young men that had been eating the king's food. When 165 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 5: you refuse to compromise, not be squeezed into society's mold, 166 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 5: God will show you favor and cause you to stand 167 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 5: out above the rest. But being common does it get 168 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 5: God's attention being like everyone else, not being different. But 169 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 5: when you dig your heels in and say, like Daniel, 170 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 5: I'm not going to be pressured into compromising. I'm not 171 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 5: going to live like everyone else, complaining, gossiping, giving up 172 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 5: on dreams. I'm going to be uncommon. I'm going to 173 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 5: go against the grain. I'm gonna take the high road. 174 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 5: I'm gonna be a person of excellence. When you make 175 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 5: this choice to be uncommon, like Daniel, you will see 176 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 5: uncommon favor. God will make things happen that you couldn't 177 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 5: make happen. But it takes courage to be different, takes 178 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 5: courage to not compromise. People will try to make you 179 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 5: feel weak because you're not going with the majority. Because 180 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 5: you don't party with everyone, you don't gossip, you don't 181 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 5: play politics. The truth is you're not weak, you're strong. 182 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 5: It doesn't take much effort to do what everyone else 183 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 5: is doing. A dead fish can float downstream. It takes 184 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 5: a live one to swim upstreamly. It's easy to be common. 185 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 5: The pressure comes when you decide to be unc when 186 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 5: everybody around you is compromising. But you rise up and say, 187 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 5: as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 188 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 5: Neighbors will say, you're going to church today on Sunday, 189 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 5: your day off. Why would you waste time doing that? 190 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 5: It's because you're uncommon. You live by a higher standard. 191 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:28,479 Speaker 5: You honor God with your life. Uncommon obedience produces uncommon blessings, 192 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 5: uncommon favor, and uncommon destiny. You'll go where you couldn't 193 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 5: go on your own. But there is pressure right now 194 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 5: trying to squeeze you into being common. Thoughts trying to 195 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 5: deceive you into not breaking out of the mold. Don't 196 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 5: believe those lies. Be a Daniel. All that pressure trying 197 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 5: to get you to conform is a sign that God 198 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 5: has something amazing in front of you. You have to 199 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 5: do like him and purpose in your heart. I will 200 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 5: not defile myself by giving into this temptation, or by 201 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 5: letting these outside pressures convince me in the lower in 202 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 5: my standards. The person in charge was so impressed with 203 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 5: Daniel he took him to see the king. The scripture says, 204 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 5: the king found no one equal to Daniel. He had 205 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 5: ten times more wisdom and understanding than the smartest people 206 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 5: in his kingdom. That wasn't a coincidence. When you make 207 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 5: this choice to be uncommon, God will shine his favor 208 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 5: on you. You will have wisdom beyond you years, creativity, ideas, ability, 209 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 5: God rewards uncommon. The king put Daniel in charge of 210 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 5: all of Babylon. He went from being a slave to 211 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 5: being the leader of the whole country. But I wonder 212 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 5: what would have happened if Daniel would have chosen to 213 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 5: be common. If he had worshiped their idols, lived by 214 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 5: their standards, been squeezed into their mold. I don't think 215 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 5: we would be talking about him today. Another ordinary life 216 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 5: would have faded off into the sunset. Years after you're gone. 217 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 5: God wants somebody to be reading about you. Your faith, 218 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 5: your courage, your victories can inspire others to believe for 219 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 5: the fullness of their destinies, Joel, I don't think so, 220 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 5: not with me. I don't have the experience, the influence, 221 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 5: the training, the education. Daniel was a slave, a teenager 222 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 5: in a foreign land. All the odds were against him, 223 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 5: but he made this decision to be uncommon, to stand out, 224 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 5: to honor God with his life. When you honor God, 225 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 5: God will always honor you. God opened doors for Daniel 226 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 5: he never dreamed would open. You may not see it yet, 227 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 5: but God has something amazing in front of you. He 228 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 5: has destined you to leave your mark in this generation. 229 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 5: You're not supposed to live and die and nobody knew 230 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: you were here. God has opportunities, resources, people, wisdom that's 231 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 5: going to catapult you further than you thought possible. But 232 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: one requirement is you can't be common. You have to 233 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 5: be willing to do what others won't do, to make 234 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 5: sacrifices that others won't make, to resist temptation when others 235 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 5: are giving in the good news. Nothing you're facing is 236 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 5: too much for you to handle. Every temptation, every struggle, 237 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 5: every difficulty. God has given you the grace to overcome. 238 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 5: You have the power to be uncommon, And yes it 239 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 5: takes discipline, Yes, it's uncomfortable, your flesh will tell you 240 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 5: give in, do what everyone else is doing. No, your 241 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 5: destiny is at stake. Don't let a temporary period of 242 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 5: being uncomfortable keep you from a permanent blessing. It wasn't 243 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 5: easy for Daniel to go against the grain. I'm sure 244 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 5: people made fun of him. Thought, this new guy, this teenager, 245 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 5: he's strange, brought his own food, he was just his 246 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 5: own God, he's too good to hang out with us. 247 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 5: Daniel could have given in to the pressure, been intimidated, 248 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 5: not wanted to stand out, but he was willing to 249 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 5: take the heat for being different. He was secure enough 250 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 5: in who he was and confident enough in who his 251 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: God was that he didn't let the opposition, the ridicule, 252 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 5: the people trying to discredit him to squeeze him into 253 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 5: their mold. He knew when you're uncommon, there will be 254 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 5: seasons of difficulties where it's not fair. Seems like others 255 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: are getting the best of you, You're having to swim upstream. 256 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 5: But God sees what's happening. Your time is coming life 257 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 5: with Daniel. At some point, God will suddenly turn it around. 258 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 5: He'll suddenly promote you, suddenly vindicate you. When the people 259 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 5: saw the favor on Daniel's life, they became jealous. This 260 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 5: Hebrew slave that they'd been making fun of trying to 261 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 5: discredit was now their boss. He was over all of them. 262 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 5: When you're being uncommon taking the highroad, don't be distracted 263 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 5: by the naysayers and people trying to discredit you. They're 264 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 5: making fun of you now, but you don't know, like 265 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 5: with Daniel, one day, they may be working for you. 266 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 5: These people knew that Daniel wouldn't compromise. They knew how 267 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 5: committed and faithful he was, so they came up with 268 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 5: a plan to try to trap him. They went to 269 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 5: the king and said, King, you're so amazing, you're so incredible, 270 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 5: you should write a law that for the next thirty days, 271 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 5: no one can pray to anyone except you. If they do, 272 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 5: they'll be thrown into a lion's den. The king was 273 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 5: so flattered, his ego was so inflated. He thought that 274 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 5: was a good idea. Be careful when people flatter you 275 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 5: and then ask you for something. When they do, just 276 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 5: cancel out everything they said first, because even if it 277 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 5: is true, most likely they said it with the wrong motives. 278 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 5: Flattery is a tool. If you're not securing who you 279 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 5: are and you need that to feel good about yourself, 280 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 5: you'll make decisions that you may regret later on. The 281 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 5: King loved Daniel, he didn't realize they were doing this 282 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 5: to trap him. But when Daniel heard about the new law, 283 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 5: it didn't stop him. The scripture says he went home, 284 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 5: opened his windows, got on his knees, and prayed like 285 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 5: he had always done. Now he's in chargee and he's 286 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 5: still not being squeezed into their mold. Sometimes when people 287 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 5: get to where they were trying to go, God blesses 288 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 5: them and opens the door, they forget what got them there. 289 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 5: It was the fact that they were uncommon, but too often, 290 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 5: once they reach a goal, they start becoming common. Daniel 291 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 5: didn't do this. He had made it to the top. 292 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 5: He had everything to lose. If there was ever a 293 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: time he should have fit in did what the king asked, 294 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 5: it was now. But Daniel stayed on the high road. 295 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 5: He didn't let the pressure cause him to compromise. They 296 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 5: ran back and told the king that Daniel was praying 297 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 5: to another god. The King felt bad about it, but 298 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 5: he couldn't go back on his word, and he had 299 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 5: Daniel thrown into the lions den. The whole night the 300 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 5: king stayed awake and prayed and fasted for Daniel. Early 301 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 5: the next morning he ran out to check on him. 302 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 5: He said, Daniel was the god you serve able to 303 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 5: rescue you from the lions. Daniel said, yes, I'm still here. 304 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 5: The king was so overjoyed he had him taken out 305 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 5: of the lion's den. The scripture says there was not 306 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 5: one scratch on him and the people that talked him 307 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 5: into writing the decree that tried to get rid of Daniel. 308 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 5: The king had them arrested and thrown into the same 309 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 5: lions den. Not one of them survived. The king wrote 310 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 5: a new decree. It said everyone in my kingdom should 311 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 5: worship the God of Daniel. He's the living god. He 312 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 5: rescues people and does great miraclesure when you're uncommon, when 313 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 5: you refuse to compromise, when you don't take the easy 314 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 5: way out, God will do the uncommon. He'll close the 315 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 5: mouths of lions. When you study the heroes of faith 316 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 5: people like Daniel, you'll find one common ingredient is they 317 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 5: were uncommon. A lady in the scripture named Naomi had 318 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 5: two sons that both died early. Their wives were Ruth 319 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 5: and Orpah. Naomi was going to move back home to Bethlehem. 320 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 5: She told both daughters in law that they should go 321 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 5: back to their country and start a new life. Ruth said, no, Naomi, 322 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 5: I'm not going to leave you. I'm going to move 323 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 5: back with you and help take care of you. She said, Ruth, 324 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 5: I'm an old lady. There's no future for you in Bethlehem. 325 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 5: Go back to your country. Maybe you'll find somebody new 326 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 5: to marry there. This is what Orpah did. She left, 327 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 5: went her own way, did her own thing. Ruth said, Naomi, 328 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 5: I will go where you go. Your people will be 329 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 5: my people. Your God will be my God. It was 330 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 5: in the fields of Bethlehem, picking up wheat every morning, 331 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 5: barely surviving. That God cost Boaz, the owner of those fields, 332 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 5: to notice Ruth. He was the wealthiest man in that area. 333 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 5: They ended up falling in love and were married. Ruth 334 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 5: no longer had to work in the fields. Now she 335 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 5: owned the fields. What am I saying? Uncommon commitment brought 336 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 5: uncommon favor. Ruth was willing to do what Orpah wouldn't do. 337 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 5: Orpah took the easy way out, but Ruth did the 338 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 5: right thing when it was hard. She took care of 339 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 5: someone when she had every right to walk away. Nothing 340 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 5: against Orpah. She may have lived a good life, but 341 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 5: you don't read anything more in the scripture about her. 342 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 5: You don't read much about common people. Not only did 343 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 5: God bless Ruth with a husband and a son, but 344 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 5: she became the great grandmother of David. God put her 345 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 5: in the family line of Jesus. It wouldn't have happened 346 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 5: if she was common. Are there areas that you're being 347 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 5: common in doing what everybody else is doing? Taking the 348 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 5: easy way out? Why don't you be a Ruth? Why 349 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 5: don't you be a Daniel? God has uncommon favor in 350 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 5: your future, uncommon opportunities, uncommon relationships. But you have to 351 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 5: do your part and be uncommon Acts Chapter sixteen, Paul 352 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 5: and Silas were out helping people when they were falsely 353 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 5: accused of trying to start a riot. They hadn't committed 354 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 5: any crime, but they were beaten with rods and put 355 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 5: in prison. They could have been complaining, bitter God, why 356 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 5: did you let this happen? That would have been common, 357 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 5: but they were uncommon. Instead, At midnight in the Dungeon. 358 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 5: They were singing praises to God. The scripture says the 359 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 5: other prisoners could hear them. I'm sure they thought, what's 360 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 5: wrong with these guys. They've been beaten, they were falsely accused, 361 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 5: and now they're thanking God. That's not normal. Suddenly there 362 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 5: was a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, the 363 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 5: chains came off. They walked out as free men. An 364 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 5: uncommon attitude led to an uncommon breakthrough. Instead of complaining 365 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 5: about the people that have done you wrong, being sour 366 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 5: over the disappointment, why don't you do like them and 367 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 5: be uncommon God. I don't understand why this has happened, 368 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 5: but I know you're still on the throne. I want 369 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 5: to thank you that you have beauty for these ashes. 370 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 5: That what was meant for harm you turn into my advantage. 371 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 5: That's what brings uncommon turnarounds, uncommon breakthroughs, uncommon favor. This 372 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 5: is what happened with David. He was a teenager out 373 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 5: taking care of his father's sheep. He didn't come from 374 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 5: an influential family. They were shepherds. Nobody saw anything special 375 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 5: in David. He looked ordinary like everyone else. But David 376 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 5: made this decision be uncommon. He was willing to do 377 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 5: what others wouldn't do. Nobody had the courage to face Goliath. 378 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 5: They thought he was too big, too strong, too much experience. 379 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 5: The whole army was afraid and intimidated. But when David 380 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 5: heard Goliath tauning the Israelites, he said, who is this 381 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 5: uncircumcised philistine? That he would defy the armies of the 382 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 5: Living God. When others were shrinking back in fear, David 383 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 5: rose up in faith. He told King Saul that he 384 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 5: wanted to fight Goliath. His brothers the other people in 385 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 5: the army said, who are you. You don't have a chance. 386 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 5: You're a kid, and a small one at that. They 387 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 5: were common, and they were trying to convince him into 388 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 5: being common. When you go against the grain, when you 389 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 5: take these steps of faith, don't be surprised if common 390 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 5: people tell you how it's not going to happen. You 391 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 5: can't get well, he'll never break that addiction. You can't 392 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 5: start your business, you don't have the experience. Don't believe 393 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 5: those lies. You have something on you that they cannot see. 394 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 5: There is a favor, a blessing, an anointing, an ability 395 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 5: that is not ordinary. Average people would be stuck. Ordinary 396 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 5: people would settle. Common people would say the giant is 397 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 5: too big. The good news is you are uncommon. God 398 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 5: breths his life into you. He's crowned you with favor. 399 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 5: You have seeds of greatness on the inside. Like David. 400 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 5: You're going to defeat giants that look bigger. You're going 401 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 5: to overcome obstacles that look stronger. You're going to accomplish 402 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 5: dreams that seemed impossible. The forces that are for you 403 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 5: are greater than the forces that are against you. I'm 404 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 5: not looking at average people. I'm not looking at common people. 405 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 5: I'm looking at David's. I'm looking at root. I'm looking 406 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 5: at Daniels. I see history makers. I see people that 407 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 5: are going to leave their mark, people that are willing 408 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 5: to do what others want do, people that live by 409 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 5: a higher standard fringe. God has not only chosen you, 410 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 5: but he has set you apart. He's made you uncommon. 411 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 5: Now I'm asking you to do your part and live 412 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 5: uncommon when others shrink back, have uncommon faith, when others 413 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 5: slack off, Have uncommon commitment when others take the easy 414 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 5: way out, have uncommon excellence. If you'll do this, I'll 415 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 5: believe and declare You're going to see uncommon favor, uncommon breakthroughs, 416 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 5: uncommon increase, uncommon victories in Jesus' name, And if you 417 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 5: receive it, can you say it? 418 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 6: Men? 419 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 5: Today, I'd like to give you an opportunity to make 420 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 5: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 421 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 422 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 5: into my heart. I'll make you my lord and savior. Friends, 423 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 5: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 424 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 5: born again.
