I like to start with something funny 46 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 4: and I heard about this eighty five year old man. 47 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 4: He was out fishing one day and he heard a 48 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: voice saying, pick me up. Looked around, didn't see anything, 49 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 4: thought he was dreaming. Heard it again, pick me up. 50 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 4: He looked down and he saw a frog. He said 51 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 4: in amazement, are you talking to me? The frog said yes, 52 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: pick me up and kiss me, and I'll turn into 53 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: a beautiful bride. The man quickly picked him up put 54 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 4: him in his front pocket. The frog said, hey, what 55 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: are you doing. I said, kiss me and I'll turn 56 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 4: into a beautiful bride. The man said, no, thanks. At 57 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 4: my age, I'd rather have a talking frog. Hold up 58 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 4: your bible, say it like you mean it. This is 59 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says. 60 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 5: I am. 61 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 62 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 63 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 64 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be 65 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 66 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about how you've been framed. 67 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 4: When we hear that phrase, most of the time we 68 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: think of it as a bad thing. We've been set up, 69 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 4: made to look like we did something that we didn't do. 70 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: But the scripture talks about a different type of frame. 71 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 4: It says the worlds were framed by the word of God. 72 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 4: It's not just talking about the physical world. The word 73 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 4: in the original language is eons, meaning ages or times. 74 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: It's saying God has a frame around your times. He 75 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: has put a fence, a boundary around your life. Nothing 76 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 4: can penetrate your frame that God doesn't allow. Trouble, sickness, accidents, 77 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 4: they can't just randomly happen. The frame is set. You 78 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: don't have to worry about your future. There's a frame 79 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: around your health, a frame around your children, a frame 80 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: around your finances. Boundary set by the creator of the universe. 81 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: Not only can nothing get in without God's permission, but 82 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 4: even better news, you can't get out. You can't make 83 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: a mistake big enough to break out of that frame. 84 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 4: You can't get too addicted, too discouraged, too angry. It's 85 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 4: a destiny frame. God won't let you get so far 86 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: off course that you can't still fulfill your purpose. You 87 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: may come right up to the edge, about to do 88 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: something to get you in trouble, and you'll bump into 89 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: the frame. God'll push you right back had a man 90 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 4: tell me how he was so fed up with his boss. 91 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: He'd worked at this company for many years and his 92 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: boss was always condescending, making sarcastic remarks, and this man 93 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: had had all he could take. He was about to 94 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 4: give his boss a piece of his mind. He knew 95 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: he'd get fired, but at this point he didn't care. 96 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 4: He had his speech all lined up, laid in bed 97 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 4: the night before, steaming, thinking, I'm gonna tell him I 98 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 4: don't like you, I don't need you, You're a lousy boss, 99 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 4: on and on. He's gonna let it all hang out. 100 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 4: The next morning, first thing, he marched into his boss's 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 4: office without knocking, all fired up. The strangest thing happened. 102 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: He got flustered. He couldn't remember what he's going to say. 103 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: His mind totally went blank. He looked at the boss 104 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: and said, would you like a cup of coffee? He said, Joel, 105 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 4: I tried to tell him off. I tried to be mean. 106 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: I just couldn't do it. What happened he bumped into 107 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 4: the frame. God knows how to protect you, not only 108 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: from accidents, not only from the wrong people. God will 109 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: protect you from yourself. Sometimes we're the most dangerous thing 110 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 4: we face at the family reunion. You're about to tell 111 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 4: that relative off. Somehow you feel a peace come over you, 112 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 4: or they walk out of the room at just the 113 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 4: right time. That's not a coincidence. You better thank God 114 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 4: for your frame. The free way, that person that cuts 115 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: you off, you're about to give them a signal with 116 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 4: your hand. Now I'm not talking about one way. Jesus. 117 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: You pull up next to them so aggravated, throw your 118 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: hand up. But instead of doing what you thought, you 119 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 4: just smile and give them a big friendly wave. What happened? 120 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 4: You bumped into your frame. This frame has kept us 121 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 4: out of more trouble than we realize. You better thank 122 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 4: God for your frame, or you might not still have 123 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 4: a job. If it had not been for the frame, 124 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 4: we might not still be married. How many times were 125 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: we going to tell our spouse exactly what we think 126 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: and exactly what they should do, and we hear the 127 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: still small voice saying, don't do it, bite your tongue, 128 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: walk away. We take the advice. That's the frame. In 129 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: the scripture, David experienced this frame. He and his men 130 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 4: had been protecting a man by the name of Mabel. 131 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 4: They were camped next door, and just to do him 132 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: a favor. They've made sure that no bandits bothered him 133 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 4: or his property. And one day David sent men to 134 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 4: go ask Nabel for some food. Nabel was very rude. 135 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 4: He told those men, I don't owe you anything, I 136 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 4: didn't ask you to do this, Just get off my property. 137 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 4: When David heard what Nabel had said, he was furious. 138 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 4: He told his men pack up, We're gonna go wipe 139 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 4: out Nabel and anyone that's halfway associated with him. This 140 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: set David off as he headed toward Nabel's house, angry, offended, 141 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: ready to get even. God sent a young lady named Abigail. 142 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 4: Abigail was Nabel's wife. She met David on the road 143 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: with gifts with food. She said, David, you are called 144 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: to be our next king. You are destined to do 145 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 4: great things. My husband, Nabel, he's a fool. Why are 146 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 4: you gonna waste your time fighting with him? You could 147 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 4: miss your destiny, she spoke, sensing to him, David said, 148 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 4: you're exact exactly right, turned around and went back home. 149 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 4: You know what Abigail was, She was a part of 150 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 4: the frame. God ordained her to be there at the 151 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 4: right time. To know exactly the right thing to say. 152 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: Had David gotten distracted killed Mabel caused a big stir. 153 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: That mistake could have kept him from taking the throne. 154 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: He went right up to the edge, but he bumped 155 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 4: into his frame. God is so good he will always 156 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 4: send the right person to say the right thing to 157 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 4: keep you from missing your destiny. David said, where would 158 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 4: I be without the goodness of God? He could have 159 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: said where would I be without this frame. Jonah experienced 160 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 4: the frame. God told him to go to the city 161 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 4: of Nineveh. He didn't want to go there. He said, God, 162 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: that's what you want me to do. I want to 163 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 4: go my own way. He went in the opposite direction. 164 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 4: And God will always let you do your own thing. 165 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: He'll let you go your own way. But he's so merciful. 166 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 4: At some point you're gonna bump into your frame. He 167 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 4: let Jonah go the wrong direction. Jonah ended up on 168 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 4: a ship in the middle of a huge storm. He 169 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 4: finally told the crew that he was the problem. This 170 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 4: crew had no mercy. They said, Jonah, you're the problem. 171 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 4: Good riddance, You're out of here. They threw him overboard. 172 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 4: You would think this would be the end of Jonah's life. 173 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: He brought the trouble on himself. He knew the right thing, 174 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 4: but he did the opposite. He had nobody to blame 175 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 4: except himself. I'm sure Jonah felt like he was finished. 176 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: He said his goodbyes, made his peace. But what Jonah 177 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: didn't realize was the frame God had put around his life. 178 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: Yes he made a mistake, but it wasn't outside the frame. 179 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 4: Yes he was in trouble, but that trouble wasn't a 180 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 4: surprise to God. God allowed the difficulty into Jonah's frame, 181 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 4: not to harm him, but to push him toward his 182 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 4: divine destiny. And when it looked hopeless out in the sea, 183 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 4: treading water, no chance to survive, here comes a big 184 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 4: fish and swallows Jonah up. You know what that fish 185 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: was like, Abigail part of the frame. Three days later, 186 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 4: that fish spit him up on the dry ground. Jonah says, 187 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: you know what, I think I'll go to ninebe after all, 188 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 4: like Jonah, you can run as much as you want, 189 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 4: But the good news is you'll never run out of 190 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: your frame. You'll keep bumping up against it again and again. 191 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 4: It'll always push you back towards your divine destiny. In 192 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 4: other words, you can go out and party, live it up, 193 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: not give God the time of day. But while your 194 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 4: friends are partying, while they're enjoying life, deep down you'll 195 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 4: be miserable, thinking why can't I enjoy this? Why am 196 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 4: I so unsatisfied? It's because of the frame God's put 197 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 4: on your life. You are ruined for living a defeated, mediocre, 198 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: compromising life. God's calling is on you. You can go 199 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: your own way, but God has a way of getting 200 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 4: your back on course. God has put a frame that 201 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,119 Speaker 4: you can't penetrate the enemy, can't penetrate, drugs, can't penetrate 202 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 4: the wrong people, can't penetrate the most high. God has 203 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 4: fenced you in. He's put boundaries around your life so 204 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: strong all the forces of darkness cannot get in, and 205 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 4: you cannot get out. And yes, we can make mistakes, 206 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: we can run from the call, we can try to 207 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 4: ignore it. But the frame around your life was put 208 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: in place before the foundation of time. When God breathed 209 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 4: his life into you, he framed your world. That's why parents, 210 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 4: we don't have to worry about our children. They've been framed. 211 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 4: They may get off course, but sooner or later they'll 212 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 4: bump into the frame. They may run with the wrong crowd, 213 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 4: but the frame is up. They can't go too far 214 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 4: to miss their destiny. They're gonna bump into it again, again, again, 215 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 4: until they finally say, I'm tired of fighting God. I'm 216 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 4: gonna let you have your way. I'm gonna honor you 217 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: with my life and some of you. Because you had 218 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 4: a praying mother, you had a praying grandmother, you had 219 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 4: relatives that honor God, you might as well give up. 220 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: You don't have a chance. Your frame is so set, 221 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 4: you're gonna keep bumping into it until God gets you 222 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 4: to where you're supposed to be. I know this mother. 223 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 4: She was so concerned about her son. He was making 224 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 4: very poor choices, and she tried to convince him to 225 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 4: quit running with the wrong crowd and convince him to 226 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 4: come to church. He just wouldn't do it. He ended 227 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: up in jail. One Sunday morning. He was watching television 228 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 4: in the common area. Another inmate came in and wanted 229 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: to watch something different. They started arguing and ended up 230 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 4: in a struggle for the remote control, trying to get 231 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 4: it out of each other's hands. About that time, this 232 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 4: huge inmate walked in, six foot six, looked like a 233 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: professional football player, had these muscles bulging out of his shirt. 234 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: He grabbed the remote control. He said, give me that thing. 235 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 4: I'll decide what we're gonna watch. Started flipping through the channels. 236 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: He came across our program. He said, we're gonna watch 237 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: Joel today. Those two inmates got up to leave. He 238 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 4: grabbed the one young man by the shirt and pulled 239 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 4: him back down, says, sit down, you're gonna watch with me. 240 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 4: What happened. He bumped into the frame, a really big frame, 241 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 4: I might add, parents, God has the right people not 242 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 4: only lined up for you, but for your children, for 243 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: your grandchildren. Quit worrying about them and start thanking God 244 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 4: for the frame around telling your friends how your children 245 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 4: are so off course and they're never gonna do what's right. Now, 246 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 4: zip that up and get in agreement with God. Lord, 247 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 4: I want to thank you that my children have been framed. 248 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 4: I've committed them into your hands. And Lord, you said 249 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 4: the seed of the righteous will be mighty in the land. 250 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: As this inmate was watching the program, with this six 251 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 4: foot six inmate making sure he watched, he began to 252 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: feel God's presence. He started weeping right then and there 253 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 4: in the jail. That big inmate led him to Christ. 254 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 4: Now I see this young man at our services all 255 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 4: the time, sitting next to his mother. You may not 256 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 4: see how it can happen. That's not your job. Your 257 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 4: job is to stay in peace, knowing that your children 258 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: have been framed. Your prayers are activating God's power. When 259 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: you pray, just imagine the frame is getting smaller, the 260 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: boundaries are getting tighter. God won't let them go as 261 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 4: far as they used to. He'll make them uncomfortable in 262 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 4: compromising situations. He'll won't let them enjoy doing wrong like 263 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 4: they did before. God knows how to tighten the frame. 264 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 4: When I was nineteen years old, I was driving home 265 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 4: from a ball game very late at night. There was 266 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 4: nobody on the freeway. I had a sports car and 267 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 4: the fastest i'd driven it was about seventy five miles 268 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: an hour. I thought this would be a great time 269 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 4: to see how fast this car will really go. So 270 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 4: one o'clock in the morning, five lanes of freeway in 271 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 4: front of me. I was on the top of a 272 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 4: big bridge. I could see about two miles down the 273 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 4: road and hardly anybody on the road, just a car 274 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 4: to here and there. So I put the pedal to 275 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 4: the floor, and that car took off, going so fast. 276 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 4: I'm not going to tell you how fast, because my 277 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 4: mother's sitting on the front road. But as I was 278 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 4: flying down the highway feeling so cool, I looked over 279 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: and there was a car right next to me. I thought, 280 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: I can't believe it. He wants to race. He can't 281 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 4: race me. He got a piece of junk, and so 282 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 4: I put it down even faster took off. I looked over. 283 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 4: There he was again, but this time when I looked, 284 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 4: he was holding up his badge. I nearly went to 285 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: heaven right then and there my heart stopped. I looked 286 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 4: back over and he mouthed the words slowed down. I 287 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 4: drove thirty miles an hour the rest of the way home. Parents, 288 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 4: God has a frame around your children. Even when they 289 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 4: do dumb things, they can't get out of the frame. 290 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: God will always have the right person, whether it's Abigail, 291 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 4: a six foot six inmate, or an off duty police 292 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 4: officer going down the freeway at one in the morning. 293 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 4: We can't get out of the frame. Now quit looking 294 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 4: at me like you've never done anything dumb. In the scripture, 295 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 4: there was a man named Saul. He was the biggest 296 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 4: enemy of the church. He hated believers and then put 297 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 4: in prison, doing more harm to God's people than any 298 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 4: person of that time. One day he was on the 299 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 4: road traveling to Damascus, and a bright light shine down 300 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 4: on him, so bright that he fell to the ground 301 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 4: and became blind. The voice said, Saul, why do you 302 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 4: persecute me? Don't you know it's hard to kick against 303 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 4: the pricks. God was saying, Saul, I've got you in 304 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 4: my frame. You're trying to kick, trying to run, trying 305 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 4: to ignore it. But Saul, you have to understand I 306 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 4: set the frame. I have a destiny for you to fulfill, 307 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 4: and it's not to stop my work. It's to advance 308 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 4: my work. Laying on the ground, not able to see, 309 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 4: Saul said, who are you? The voice boomed out, I 310 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 4: am Jesus, whom you persecute. Notice when people persecute you, 311 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 4: give you a hard time for honoring God, make fun 312 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 4: of you for coming to church. Don't let that bother you. 313 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 4: They're doing it to you. They're doing it under God. 314 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 4: Saul was harming believers, Yet God said, you're persecuting me. 315 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 4: God took it personally. The voice told Saul to go 316 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 4: to the city and see Anonius. Anonius prayed for Saul. 317 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 4: He got his site back. Long story short, Saul became 318 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 4: the Apostle Paul, who went on to write over half 319 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 4: of the New Testament. Some of you think that you're 320 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 4: too far gone, made too many mistakes, people tell me often, Juel, 321 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 4: I'm just not a religious person. Listen, none of that matters. 322 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 4: All that matters is the creator of the universe has 323 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 4: put a frame around your life. You can kick, run, 324 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 4: try to ignore it. That's just going to make you 325 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 4: more miserable. Like God said to Saul, it's hard to 326 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 4: keep kicking against the frame. The frame is not going 327 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 4: to move. There's a calling on your life, a destiny 328 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 4: for you to fulfill. It has been set there by 329 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 4: the Most High God. The scripture even talks about how 330 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 4: God's calling is irrevocable. God's not going to remove the 331 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 4: frame the sooner you surrender and say God, my life 332 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 4: is in your hands. I'm gonna live for you. I'm 333 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 4: gonna get rid of these friends that are pulling me down. 334 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 4: I'm gonna get help with these bad habits. I'm gonna 335 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 4: get in church and serve and grow. I'm gonna pursue 336 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 4: the dreams you placed in my heart. The sooner you 337 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 4: do that, the happier and the more fulfilling your life 338 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 4: will be. You may have family members or friends like Saul, 339 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 4: you've been praying for a long time. Doesn't look like 340 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 4: they'll ever get on course. In fact, the more you pray, 341 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 4: the worse they get. Don't get discouraged, stay in peace. 342 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 4: Just like Saul. They've been framed. A part of this 343 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 4: frame is a hedge of protection. God has a boundary 344 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 4: around your life that the enemy cannot cross. Friend of 345 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 4: mine was driving home from work the other day. He 346 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 4: stopped at a light when it changed to green. He 347 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 4: looked to the left to the right, just being cautious. 348 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 4: But just as he is about to go forward, something 349 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 4: said to him, so strongly, look again. He looked back 350 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 4: to the right for a second time. A car was 351 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 4: coming full blast, never attempted to stop, ran right through 352 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 4: the red light. If he had not looked the second time, 353 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 4: he would have gotten broadsided. No telling what would have happened. 354 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 4: What was that the frame? If it's not your time 355 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 4: to go, the enemy cannot take you out. The frame 356 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 4: that's placed around your life was put there by the 357 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 4: most powerful force in the universe. That's why the Psalmist said, 358 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 4: a thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at 359 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 4: my right hand. I'm not worried. It can't come near me. 360 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 4: I know there's a frame around my life. Nothing can 361 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 4: happen without God's permission. Had somebody complaining to me once 362 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 4: about how they were hit on the freeway. It totaled 363 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 4: their car and they were really upset discourage. They didn't 364 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 4: know if the insurance was going to cover it. It 365 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 4: was a brand new car, and the feeling I got 366 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: from them was that God had let them down. He said, Joel, 367 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 4: if I've got this frame, how come I had an accident? Well, 368 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 4: keep the right perspective. You may have lost your car, 369 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 4: but because of the frame, you didn't lose your life. 370 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 4: Because of the frame, you're not paralyzed. Because of the frame, 371 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 4: you can still see and talk and hear. I'm convinced 372 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 4: God protects us from so many things that we don't 373 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 4: even realize. We think sometimes, well, didn't have anything good 374 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 4: happen to me, just an average week. No, you can 375 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 4: thank God for what didn't happen because of the frame. 376 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 4: You didn't have an accident because of the frame. You're 377 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 4: not in the hospital because of the frame. You didn't 378 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 4: get laid off because of the frame. Your children are 379 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 4: still healthy in home. A few years ago, I was 380 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 4: in San Antonio at Brooke Army Medical House hospital praying 381 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 4: for some of the soldiers. This hospital specializes in treating 382 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 4: people that have burns. I left one room and a 383 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: couple stopped me and asked me to go in and 384 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 4: pray for their son. He'd been badly burned. They told 385 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 4: how he was a soldier in a rock was the 386 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 4: middle of the night, was on the army base refueling 387 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 4: these large tanks of gas. It was all alone, about 388 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 4: a mile from the main area. Something caused the tanks 389 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 4: to ignite. When he woke up, he was twenty yards away, 390 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 4: flat on his back, on fire, not able to move. 391 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 4: He's wearing all of this ammunition that could explode at 392 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 4: any moment. Out of nowhere, these two Iraqi men civilians 393 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 4: showed up and started rolling him in the dirt to 394 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 4: stop the fire. Without those two men, he certainly would 395 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 4: have burned to death. What's interesting is those men were 396 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 4: not allowed on the base. They were in a secure 397 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 4: area three o'clock in the morning. The parents said, those 398 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 4: men had to have been put there by God to 399 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 4: save our son. What was that the frame? It wasn't 400 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 4: his time to go. The enemy doesn't determine your destiny. 401 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 4: God does. God is bigger than an explosion, bigger than 402 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 4: an accident, bigger than a car running a red life. 403 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 4: God has you in a frame. When I was ten 404 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: years old, we went to Hawaii with my parents. We 405 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 4: arrived about three o'clock in the afternoon. We were so excited. 406 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 4: After we checked into the hotel, all five of us 407 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 4: children ran down to the beach to go swimming. My 408 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 4: brother and sister, Paul and Lisa, were in their late teens, 409 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 4: and they were supposed to watch over us. We rented 410 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 4: some floats, but in the excitement of playing in the 411 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 4: big waves and having so much fun, we looked up 412 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 4: and couldn't find my little sister, April. She was eight 413 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 4: years old. We searched and searched so frantically, five minutes, 414 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 4: ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes. I had never felt 415 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 4: such a sick feeling in all my life. We were 416 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 4: just sure April had drowned. The waves were so big. 417 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 4: Forty five minutes everyone was looking. An hour still nothing 418 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 4: hour and fifteen minutes later we see April way way 419 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 4: down the beach, walking toward us, carrying her float. We 420 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 4: had never been so happy and so mad at her 421 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 4: at the same time. What happened is she'd fallen asleep 422 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: on that float. It was six hours later here at home, 423 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 4: about eleven at night. She drifted nearly two miles down 424 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 4: the shore. She could have drifted out to sea. She 425 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 4: could have woken up in deep water, not been able 426 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 4: to swim. In a thousand things could have happened. But 427 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 4: God had her in a frame. God had a boundary 428 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 4: set around her. Let me assure you death can't penetrate 429 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 4: your frame. God has to allow it. The number of 430 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 4: your days he will fulfill. That's why I always tell 431 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 4: people that have lost a loved one, especially if they 432 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 4: went home at an early age. While we may not 433 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 4: understand it, know this. The enemy didn't take your loved one. 434 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 4: He doesn't have that power. God called them home. God 435 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 4: received them into his presence. The angels carried them into 436 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 4: the heavenly Father's arms. When Jesus arose from the grave. 437 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: He said, you don't have to worry anymore. I've got 438 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 4: the keys of death. He was saying, nobody determines your 439 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 4: time except me. Death can't penetrate your frame. An accident 440 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 4: can't penetrate your frame. Sickness can't penetrate your frame. God 441 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 4: has to give it permission. He controls the whole universe. 442 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 4: When you understand this, you can say, with the apostle 443 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 4: paul O death, where is your stem o grave? Where 444 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 4: is your victory? Afraid of you? You can't defeat me. 445 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 4: I know there's a frame around my life. Not worried 446 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 4: about my health. I've been framed. Not afraid to drive 447 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 4: on the freeway. Thousand may fall at my side. That's okay. 448 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 4: I've got a frame ten thousand at my right hand. 449 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 4: No problem. I've been framed. It's a hedge of protection, 450 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 4: a bloodline that the enemy cannot cross. We see this 451 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 4: principle in Job's life. He was looking for somebody to test. 452 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 4: God said to Satan, have you seen my servant Job. 453 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 4: There's none like him in all the land. Satan answered 454 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 4: back something interesting. He said, yes, God, I've seen Job, 455 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 4: but you know I can't touch him. You put a 456 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 4: hedge around him. You've got a frame around his life. 457 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 4: He went on to say, if you'll remove the frame 458 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 4: and let me get to him, then he'll curse you. 459 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 4: But what I want you to see is the enemy 460 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 4: can't just do whatever he wants. He has to ask 461 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 4: God for permission. God has to allow him to do it. 462 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: Job went through a time of testing. He fought the 463 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 4: good fight, and in the end he didn't curse God. 464 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 4: He came out with double When you go through tough times, 465 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 4: you have a bad break, you're facing a sickness, don't 466 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 4: get discouraged. Remember the frame is still up. You keep 467 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 4: moving forward and you'll not only come out, but like Job, 468 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 4: God will bring you out better off than you were before. 469 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 4: My encouragement to us today, don't worry about your future. 470 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 4: You've been framed. There are boundaries around your life put 471 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: in place by the most powerful force in the universe. 472 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 4: Not only can nothing get in without God's permission, you 473 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 4: can't get out. You may run like Jonah, but there'll 474 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 4: be a fish waiting for you. You may kick like Saul, 475 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 4: but before long you'll be the apostle Paul. You may 476 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 4: be about to tell somebody off like David don't worry. 477 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 4: Abigail's going to show up. That's the frame all through 478 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 4: the day, instead of worrying, instead of being stressed out. 479 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 4: Now under your breath, Lord, thank you that my life 480 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 4: has been framed. Think you that my children are framed. Lord, 481 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 4: thank you that my health, my finances, my dreams, my 482 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 4: future is in your frame. If you'll do that, you'll 483 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 4: not only be happy, you'll not only have more peace. 484 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 4: But God promises the number of your days he will fulfill. 485 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 4: You will see his protection, his mercy, his favor. And 486 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 4: I believe and declare nothing will keep you from your 487 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 4: God given destiny in Jesus' name. If you receive it, 488 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 4: can you say amen? And we never like to close 489 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 4: our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus 490 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 4: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 491 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 492 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends, 493 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 4: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 494 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 4: born again.
