1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: share it with a friend. Reappreciate you and pray for

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: God's very best in your life. Will God bless you.

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: It's always a joy to come into your homes. If

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: you're ever in our area, please stop by be a

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: part of one of our services. I promise you we'll

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: make you feel right at home. But thanks so much

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: for tuning in and thank you again for coming out.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: about this eighty five year old man. He was out

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: fishing one day and he heard a voice saying, pick

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: me up. Looked around, didn't see anything, thought he was dreaming.

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Heard it again, pick me up. He looked down and

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: he saw a frog. He said in amazement, are you

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: talking to me? The frog said yes, pick me up

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: and kiss me and I'll turn into a beautiful bride.

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: The man quickly picked him up put him in his

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: front pocket.

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: The frog said, hey, what are you doing.

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: I said, kiss me and I'll turn into a beautiful bride.

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: The man said no, thanks. At my age, I'd rather

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: have a talking frog. Hold up your bible, say it

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do.

28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God. I

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is recepted.

30
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: how you've been framed. When we hear that phrase, most

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: of the time we think of it as a bad thing.

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: We've been set up, made to look like we did

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: something that we didn't do. But the scripture talks about

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: a different type of frame. It says the worlds were

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: framed by the word of God. It's not just talking

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: about the physical world. The word in the original language

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: is eons, meaning ages are times. It's saying God has

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: a frame around your times. He has put a fence,

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: a boundary around your life. Nothing can penetrate your frame

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: that God doesn't allow. Trouble, sickness, accidents, they can't just

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: randomly happen. The frame is set. You don't have to

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: worry about your future. There's a frame around your health,

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: a frame around your children, a frame around your finances.

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: It's a boundary set by the creator of the universe.

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: Not only can nothing get in without God's permission, but

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: even better news, you can't get out. You can't make

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: a mistake big enough to break out of that frame.

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: You can't get too addicted, to discouraged, too angry.

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: It's a destiny frame.

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: God won't let you get so far off course that

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: you can't still fulfill your purpose. You may come right

54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: up to the edge, about to do something to get

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: you in trouble, and you'll bump into the frame. God'll

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: push you right back. Had a man tell me how

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: he was so fed up with his boss. He'd worked

58
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: at this company for many years, and his boss was

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: always condescending, making sarcastic remarks, and this man had had

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: all he could take. He was about to give his

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: boss a piece of his mind. He knew he'd get fired,

62
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: but at this point he didn't care. He had his

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: speech all lined up, laid in bed the night before, steaming,

64
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: thinking I'm gonna tell him I don't like you, I

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: don't need you. You're a lousy boss. On and on.

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna let it all hang out. The next morning,

67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: first thing, he marched into his boss's office without knocking,

68
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: all fired up. The strangest thing happened. He got flustered.

69
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: He couldn't remember what he's going to say. His mind

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: totally went blank. He looked at the boss and said,

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: would you like a cup of coffee? He said, Joel.

72
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: I tried to tell him off. I tried to be mean.

73
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it. What happened he bumped into

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: the frame. God knows how to protect you, not only

75
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: from accidents, not only from the wrong people. God will

76
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: protect you from yourself. Sometimes we're the most dangerous thing

77
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: we face.

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: At the family.

79
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Reunion, you're about to tell that relative off. Somehow you

80
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: feel a peace come over you, or they walk out

81
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: of the room at just the right time. That's not

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: a coincidence. You better thank God for your frame. Out

83
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: on the freeway, that person that cuts you off, you're

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: about to give them a signal with your hand.

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: Now I'm not talking about one way. Jesus.

86
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: You pull up next to them so aggravated, throw your

87
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: hand up. But instead of doing what you thought, you

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: just smile and give them a big friendly wave. What happened?

89
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: You bumped into your frame? This frame has kept us

90
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: out of more trouble than we realize. You better thank

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: God for your frame, or you might not still have

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: a job. If it had not been for the frame,

93
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: we might not still be married. How many times were

94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: we gonna tell our spouse exactly what we think and

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: exactly what they should do, and we hear the still

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: small voice saying, don't do it, bite your.

97
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: Tongue, walk away. We take the advice.

98
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: That's the frame in the scripture, David experienced this frame.

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: He and his men had been protecting a man by

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: the name of Nabel. They were camped next door just

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: to do.

102
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: Him a favor.

103
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: They've made sure that no bandits bothered him or his property,

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: and one day David sent men to go ask Nabel

105
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: for some food.

106
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: Nabel was very rude.

107
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: He told those men, I don't owe you anything, I

108
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: didn't ask you to do this, Just get off my property.

109
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: When David heard what Nabel had said, he was furious.

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: He told his.

111
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Men pack up, We're gonna go wipe out Nabel and

112
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: anyone that's halfway associated with him. This set David off

113
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: As he headed toward Nabel's house, angry, offended, ready to

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: get even, God sent a young lady named Abigail.

115
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: Abigail was Nabel's wife. She met David on.

116
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: The road with gifts with food. She said, David, you

117
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: are called to be our next king. You are destined

118
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: to do great things. My husband, Nabel, he's a fool.

119
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Why are you gonna waste your time fighting with him?

120
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: You could miss your destiny. She spoke, sensing to him.

121
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: David said, you're exactly right, turned around and went back home.

122
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: You know what Abigail was.

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: She was a part of the frame. God ordained her

124
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: to be there at the right time, to know exactly

125
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: the right thing to say. Had David gotten distracted killed,

126
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: Mabel caused a big stir. That mistake could have kept

127
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: him from taking the throne. He went right up to

128
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: the edge, but he bumped into his frame. God is

129
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: so good he will always send the right person to

130
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: say the right thing, to keep you from missing your

131
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 1: David said, where would I be without the goodness of God?

132
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: He could have said, where would I be without this frame?

133
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: Jonah experienced the frame. God told him to go to

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: the city of Nineveh.

135
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: He didn't want to go there.

136
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: He said, God, that's what you want me to do.

137
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: I want to go my own way. He went in

138
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: the opposite direction. And God will always let you do

139
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: your own thing. He'll let you go your own way.

140
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: But he's so merciful. At some point you're going to

141
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: bump into your frame. He let Jonah go the wrong direction.

142
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: Jonah ended up on a ship in the middle of

143
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: a huge storm. He finally told the crew that he

144
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: was the problem. This crew had no mercy. They said, Jonah,

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: you're the problem. Good riddance, You're out of here. They

146
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: threw him overboard. You would think this would be the

147
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: end of Jonah's life. He brought the trouble on himself.

148
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: He knew the right thing, but he did the opposite.

149
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: He had nobody to blame except me. I'm sure Jonah

150
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: felt like he was finished. He's at his goodbyes, made

151
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: his peace. But what Jonah didn't realize was the frame

152
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: God had put around his life. Yes he made a mistake,

153
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: but it wasn't outside the frame. Yes he was in trouble,

154
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: but that trouble wasn't a surprise to God. God allowed

155
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: the difficulty into Jonah's frame, not to harm him, but

156
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: to push him toward his divine destiny. And when it

157
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: looked hopeless out in the sea, treading water, no chance

158
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: to survive, here comes a big fish and swallows Jonah up.

159
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: You know what that fish was like, Abigail part of

160
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: the frame. Three days later, that fish spit him up

161
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: on the dry ground, Jonah says, you know what, I

162
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: think I'll go to Nineveh after all. Like Jonah, you

163
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: can run as much as you want, But the good

164
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: news is you'll never run out of your frame. You'll

165
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: keep bumping up against it again and again. It'll always

166
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: push you back towards your divine destiny. In other words,

167
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: you can go out and party, live it up, not

168
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: give God.

169
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: The time of day.

170
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: But while your friends are partying, while they're enjoying life,

171
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: deep down you'll be miserable, thinking why can't I enjoy this?

172
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: Why am I so unsatisfied? It's because of the frame

173
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: God's put on your life. You are ruined for living

174
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: a defeated, mediocre, compromising life. God's calling is on you. You

175
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: can go your own way, but God has a way

176
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: of getting your back on course. God has put a

177
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: frame that you can't penetrate the enemy, can't penetrate. Drugs

178
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: can't penetrate the wrong people, can't penetrate the most high.

179
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: God has fenced you in.

180
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: He's put boundaries around your life so strong all the

181
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: forces of darkness cannot get in, and you cannot get out.

182
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: And yes, we can make mistakes, we can run from

183
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: the call, we can try.

184
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: To ignore it.

185
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: But the frame around your life was put in place

186
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: before the foundation of time.

187
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: When God breathed his life.

188
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: Into you, he framed your world. That's why parents, we

189
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about our children. They've been framed.

190
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: They may get off course, but sooner or later they'll

191
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: bump into the frame. They may run with the wrong crowd,

192
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: but the frame is up. They can't go too far

193
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: to miss their destiny. They're going to bump into it again, again, again,

194
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: until they finally say, I'm tired of fighting God.

195
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you have your way.

196
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to honor you with my life and some

197
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: of you. Because you had a praying mother, you had

198
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: a praying grandmother, you had relatives that honor God, you

199
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: might as well give up.

200
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: You don't have a chance.

201
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Your frame is so sad You're gonna keep bumping into

202
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: it until God gets you to where you're supposed to be.

203
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: I know this mother, she was so concerned about her son.

204
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: He was making very poor choices, and she tried to

205
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: convince him to quit running with the wrong crowd and

206
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: convince him to come to church. He just wouldn't do it.

207
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: He ended up in jail one Sunday morning. He was

208
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: watching television in the common area. Another inmate came in

209
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: and wanted to watch something different. They started arguing and

210
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: ended up in a struggle for the remote control, trying

211
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: to get it out of each other's hands.

212
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: About that time, this huge.

213
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Inmate walked in, six foot six, looked like a professional

214
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: football player, had these muscles bulging out of his shirt.

215
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: He grabbed the remote control. He said, give me that thing.

216
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: I'll decide what we're gonna watch. Started flipping through the channels.

217
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: He came across our program. He said, we're gonna watch

218
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: Joel today. Those two inmates, it's God up to leave.

219
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: He grabbed the one young man by the shirt and

220
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: pulled him back down, says, sit down, you're gonna watch

221
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: with me.

222
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: What happened? He bumped into the frame.

223
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: A really big frame, I might add, parents, God has

224
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: the right people not only lined up for you, but

225
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: for your children, for your grandchildren. Quit worrying about them

226
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: and start thanking God for the frame. Won't ever go

227
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: around telling your friends how your children are so off

228
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: course and they're never gonna do what's right. Now, zip

229
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: that up and get in agreement with God. Lord, I

230
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: want to thank you that my children have been framed.

231
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: I've committed them into your hands. And Lord, you said

232
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: the seed of the righteous will be mighty in the land.

233
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: As this inmate was watching the program, with this six

234
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: foot six inmate making sure he watched, he began to

235
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: feel God's presence. He started weeping right then and there

236
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: in the jail. That big inmate led him to Christ.

237
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: Now I see this young man at our services all

238
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: the time, sitting next to his mother. You may not

239
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: see how it can happen. That's not your job. Your

240
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: job is to stay in peace knowing that your children

241
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: have been framed. Your prayers are activating God's power. When

242
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: you pray, just imagine the frame is getting smaller, the

243
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: boundaries are getting tighter. God won't let.

244
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: Them go as far as they used to.

245
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: He'll make them uncomfortable in compromising situations. He'll won't let

246
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: them enjoy doing wrong like they did before. God knows

247
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: how to tighten the frame. When I was nineteen years old,

248
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I was driving home from a ballgame, very late at night.

249
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: There was nobody on the freeway. I had a sports car.

250
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: The fastest i'd driven it was about seventy five miles

251
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: an hour. I thought this would be a great time

252
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: to see how fast this car will really go. It's

253
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning, five lanes freeway in front

254
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: of me. I was on the top of a big bridge.

255
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: I could see about two miles down the road and

256
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: hardly anybody on the road, just a car to here

257
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: and there. So I put the pedal to the floor

258
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: and that car took off, going so fast. I'm not

259
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: gonna tell you how fast, because my mother's sitting on

260
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: the front road. But as I was flying down the

261
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: highway feeling so cool, I looked over and there was

262
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: a car right next to me.

263
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: I thought, I can't believe it. He wants to race.

264
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: He can't race me.

265
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: He got a piece of junk, and so I put

266
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: it down even faster, took off. I looked over there

267
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: he was again, but this time when I looked, he

268
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: was holding up his badge. I nearly went to heaven

269
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: right then, and there my heart stopped. I looked back

270
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: over and he mouth the words slowed down. I drove

271
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: thirty miles an hour the rest of the way home. Parents,

272
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: God has a frame around your chaill. Even when they

273
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: do dumb things, they can't get out of the frame.

274
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: God will always have the right person, whether it's Abigail,

275
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: a six foot six inmate, or an off duty police

276
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: officer going down the freeway at one in the morning.

277
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: We can't get out of the frame. Now, quit looking

278
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: at me like you've never done anything dumb. In the scripture,

279
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: there was a man named Saul. He was the biggest

280
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: enemy of the church. He hated believers. He was having

281
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: them put in prison, doing more harm to God's people

282
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: than any person of that time. One day he was

283
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: on the road traveling to Damascus, and a bright light

284
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: shine down on him, so bright that he fell to

285
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: the ground and became blind. The voice said, Saul, why

286
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: do you persecute me? Don't you know it's hard to

287
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: kick against the pricks. God was saying, Saul, I've got

288
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: you in my frame. You're trying to kick, trying to run,

289
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: trying to ignore it. But Saul, you have to understand

290
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: I set the frame. I have a destiny for you

291
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: to fulfill, and it's not to stop my work. It's

292
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: to advance my work. Laying on the ground, not able

293
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: to see, Saul said, who are you? The voice boomed out,

294
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: I am Jesus, whom you persecute. Notice when people persecute you,

295
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: give you a hard time for honoring God, make fun

296
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: of you for coming to church. Don't let that bother you.

297
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: They're not really doing it to you. They're doing it

298
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: under God. Saul was harming believers, yet God said, you're

299
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: persecuting me. God took it personally. The voice told Saul

300
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: to go to the city and see Anonius. Annius prayed

301
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: for Saul. He got his sight back. Long story short,

302
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: Saul became the apostle Paul, who went on to write

303
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: over half of the New Testament. Some of you think

304
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: that you're too far gone, made too many mistakes, people

305
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: tell me often, Juel, I'm just not a religious person.

306
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: Listen, none of that matters.

307
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: All that matters is the creator of the universe has

308
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: put a frame around your life. You can kick, run,

309
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: try to ignore it. That's just gonna make you more miserable.

310
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: Like God said to Saul, it's hard to keep kicking

311
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: against the frame.

312
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: The frame is not going to move.

313
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: There's a calling on your life, a destiny for you

314
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: to fulfill. It has been set there by the Most

315
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: High God. The scripture even talks about how God's calling

316
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: is irrevocable. God's not going to remove the frame. The

317
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: sooner you surrender and say, God, my life is in

318
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: your hands. I'm gonna live for you. I'm gonna get

319
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: rid of these friends that are pulling me down. I'm

320
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: gonna get help with these bad habits. I'm gonna get

321
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: in church and serve and grow. I'm gonna pursue the

322
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: dreams you've placed in my heart. The sooner you do that,

323
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: the happier and the more fulfilling your life will be.

324
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: You may have family members or friends, like Saul, you've

325
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: been praying for a long time. Doesn't look like they'll

326
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: ever get on course. In fact, the more you pray,

327
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: the worse they get. Don't get discouraged, stay in peace.

328
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: Just like Saul.

329
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: They've been framed a part of this frame is a

330
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: hedge of protection. God has a boundary around your life

331
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: that the enemy cannot cross. Friend of mine was driving

332
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: home from work the other day and he stopped at

333
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: a light when it changed to green. He looked to

334
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: the left to the right, just being cautious. But just

335
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: as he was about to go forward, something said to him,

336
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: so strongly, look again. He looked back to the right

337
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: for a second time. A car was coming full blast,

338
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: never attempted to stop, ran right through the red light.

339
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: If he had not looked the second time, he would

340
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: have gotten broadsided.

341
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 2: No telling what would have happened. What was that the frame?

342
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: If it's not your time to go, the inner me

343
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: cannot take you out. The frame that's placed around your

344
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: life was put there by the most powerful force in

345
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: the universe. That's why the psalmist said, a thousand may

346
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand.

347
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: I'm not worried. It can't come near me. I know

348
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: there's a frame around my life. Nothing can happen without

349
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: God's permission. Had somebody complaining to me once about how

350
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: they were hit on the freeway. It totaled their car

351
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: and they were really upset. Discouraged. They didn't know if

352
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: the insurance was going to cover it. It was a brand

353
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: new car. The feeling I got from them was that

354
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: God had let them down. He said, Joel, if I've

355
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: got this frame, how come I had an accident?

356
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: Well, keep the right perspective.

357
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: You may have lost your car, but because of the frame,

358
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: you didn't lose your life.

359
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: Because of the frame, you're not paralyzed. Because of the frame.

360
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: You can still see and talk and hear.

361
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: I'm convinced and God protects us from so many things

362
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: that we don't even realize. We'd think sometimes, well, didn't

363
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: have anything good happen to me, just an average week. No,

364
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: you can thank God for what didn't happen because of

365
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: the frame. You didn't have an accident because of the frame.

366
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: You're not in the hospital because of the frame. You

367
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: didn't get laid off because of the frame. Your children

368
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: are still healthy in home. A few years ago, I

369
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: was in San Antonio at Brooke Army Medical Hospital praying

370
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: for some of the soldiers. This hospital specializes in treating

371
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: people that have burns.

372
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: I left one room.

373
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: And a couple stopped me and asked me to go

374
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: in and pray for their son. He'd been badly burned.

375
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: They told how he was a soldier in a rock

376
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: was the middle of the night, was on the army

377
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: base refueling these large tanks of gas. It was all alone,

378
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: about a mile from the main area. Something caused the

379
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: tanks to ignite. When he woke up, he was twenty

380
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: yards away, on his back, on fire, not able to move.

381
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 1: He's wearing all of this ammunition that could explode at

382
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: any moment.

383
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 2: Out of nowhere.

384
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: These two Iraqi men, civilians showed up and started rolling

385
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: him in the dirt to stop the fire. Without those

386
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: two men, he certainly would have burned to death. What's

387
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 1: interesting is those men were not allowed on the base.

388
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: They were in a secure area. Three o'clock in the morning.

389
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: The parents said, those men had to have been put

390
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: there by God to save our son. What was that

391
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: the frame? It wasn't his time to go. The enemy

392
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: doesn't determine your destiny.

393
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 2: God does.

394
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: God is bigger than an explosion, bigger than an accident,

395
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: bigger than a car running a red life. God has

396
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: you in a frame. When I was ten years old,

397
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: we went to Hawaii with my parents. We arrived about

398
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the afternoon. We were so excited. After

399
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: we checked into the hotel, all five of us children

400
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: ran down to the beach to go swimming. My brother

401
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: and sister, Paul and Lisa, were in their late teens

402
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: and they were supposed to watch over us.

403
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: We rented some floats.

404
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: But in the excitement of playing in the big waves

405
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: and having so much fun, we looked up and couldn't

406
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: find my little sister, April.

407
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: She was eight years old.

408
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: We searched and searched so frantically, five minutes, ten minutes,

409
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, thirty minutes. I had never felt such a

410
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: sick feeling in all my life. We were just sure

411
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: April had drowned.

412
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: The waves were so big.

413
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: Forty five minutes everyone was looking, and hour still nothing.

414
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: Hour and fifteen minutes later we see April way way

415
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: down the beach, walking toward us, carrying her float. We

416
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: had never been so happy and so mad at her

417
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: at the same time. What happened is asleep on that float.

418
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: It was six hours later here at home, about eleven

419
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: at night. She drifted nearly two miles down the shore.

420
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: She could have drifted out to sea. She could have

421
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: woken up in deep water, not been able to swim.

422
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: In a thousand things could have happened, but God had

423
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: her in a frame. God had a boundary set around her.

424
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: Let me assure you. Death can't penetrate your frame. God

425
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: has to allow it. The number of your days he

426
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: will fulfill. That's why I always tell people that have

427
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: lost a loved one, especially if they went home at

428
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: an early age. While we may not understand it, know this.

429
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: The enemy didn't take your loved one. He doesn't have

430
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: that power. God called them home. God received them into

431
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: his presence. The angels carried them into the heavenly Father's arms.

432
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: When Jesus arose.

433
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: From the grave, he said, you don't have to worry anymore.

434
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: I've got the keys of death.

435
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: He was saying, nobody determines your time except me. Death

436
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: can't penetrate your frame. An accident can't penetrate your frame.

437
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: Sickness can't penetrate your frame. God has to give it permission.

438
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: He controls the whole universe. When you understand this, you

439
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: can say, with the apostle paul O death, where is

440
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: your sting o grave? Where is your victory? I'm not

441
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: afraid of you. You can't defeat me. I know there's

442
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: a frame around my life. Not worried about my health.

443
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: I've been framed. I'm not afraid to drive on the freeway.

444
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: Thousand may fall at my side, that's okay. I've got

445
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: a frame ten thousand at my right hand. No problem.

446
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: I've been framed. It's a hedge of protection, a bloodline

447
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: that the enemy cannot cross. We see this principle in

448
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: Job's life. He was looking for somebody to test. God

449
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: said to Satan, have you seen my servant Joe.

450
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: There's none like him in.

451
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: All the land. Satan answered back to something interesting. He said, yes, God,

452
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: I've seen Job. But you know I can't touch him.

453
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: You put a hedge around him. You've got a frame

454
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: around his life. He went on to say, if you'll

455
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: remove the frame and let me get.

456
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 2: To him, then he'll curse you.

457
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: But what I want you to see is the enemy

458
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: can't just do whatever he wants. He has to ask

459
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: God for permission. God has to allow him to do it.

460
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: Job went through a time of testing, He fought the

461
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: good fight, and in the end he didn't curse God.

462
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: He came out with double When you go through tough times,

463
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: you have a bad break, you're facing a sickness.

464
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: Don't get discouraged. Remember the frame is still up.

465
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: You keep moving forward and you'll not only come out,

466
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: but like job, God will bring you out better off

467
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: than you were before. My encouragement to us today, don't

468
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: worry about your future. You've been framed. There are boundaries

469
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: around your life, put in place by the most powerful

470
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: force in the universe.

471
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: Not only can nothing get in.

472
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: Without God's permission, you can't get out. You may run

473
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: like Jonah, but there'll be a fish waiting for you.

474
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: You may kick like Saul, but before long you'll be

475
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: the apostle Paul. You may be about to tell somebody

476
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: off like David. Don't worry, Abigail's gonna show up. That's

477
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: the frame now all through the day, instead of worrying,

478
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: instead of being stressed out. Now under your breath, Lord,

479
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: thank you that my life has been framed. Think you

480
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: that my children are framed. Lord, Thank you that my health,

481
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: my finances, my dreams, my future is in your frame.

482
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: If you'll do that, you'll not only be happier, you'll

483
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: not only.

484
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: Have more peace, But God promises the number of your

485
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: days he will fulfill you, will see his protection, his mercy,

486
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: his favor. And I believe and declare nothing will keep

487
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: you from your God given destiny.

488
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: In Jesus's name. If you receive it, can you say amen?

489
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: And we never like to close our broadcast without giving

490
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

491
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

492
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

493
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that

494
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

495
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: a good Bible based church. Keep God first place. He's

496
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: going to take you places you've never dreamed of.

497
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: Life throws so much at us disappointments, failures, challenges. We

498
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: can feel so out of touch that we no longer

499
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: recognize ourselves.

500
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: Life has a way of changing us. At one time,

501
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: we were outgoing and excited about our dreams. But when we

502
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: go through disappointments and people do us wrong, it's easy

503
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: to lose that positive, passionate person that we used to be.

504
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: In my new book, Rediscover the Forgotten You, I'll help

505
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: you get back to who you really are. The joy

506
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: for you the confident you, the talented you. It's not

507
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: too late. You haven't been through too much. You may

508
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: have lost part of yourself, but you can find yourself.

509
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: God is in the business of restoring what was lost,

510
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: healing what was broken. You haven't seen the best version
