1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I'm so glad you were

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: watching Real America's Voice, and I want to encourage you

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: today to know that normally, I know you're used to

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: seeing the news being broadcast twenty four hours a day

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: all over the world, but the founder of this network

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: wanted to take some time on this Sunday and bring

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: some good news to all the other news. What you

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: do with the next few moments can affect the years

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: ahead of your life. Selena, in listen to this message.

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: I believe it's going to speak to you, and you're

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: going to encounter a God who loves you and cares

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: about you this very moment. Daniel, chapter one, and I

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: want to speak to you this morning on something that

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: is different and never shared this before, but I pray

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit makes it real to you. I want

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: to talk about the ripple effect. The ripple effect, just

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: like you throw a pebble into the water and you

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: see the ripple effect, the ripple effect of consecration. We're

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: fasting Monday, and we do a twenty one day fast

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: around this place, and I want to talk about the

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: ripple effect when a person consecrates their life. I'll begin

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: reading in Daniel chapter one, and we'll just for the

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: sake of time go to verse four.

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: And so they gathered.

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: Them all together, young men in whom there was no blemish,

26
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: but good looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: quick to understand, the sharpest of the sharp who had

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: the ability to serve in the king's palace, and whom

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.

30
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: And the king appointed for them as a daily vision

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: of the King's delicacies, of the wine which he drank,

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: and three years of training for them, so that at

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: the end of that time they might.

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: Serve before the King.

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: Now from among those sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Michelle,

36
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: and Azariah. Now I just gave you the Hebrew names.

37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: You know them as Shadraq, Meeshak, and a Bendigo. Because

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: they changed their names, changed their identity, and to them,

39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: the chief of the eunuchs was given the name was

40
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: Get what gave names. He gave Daniel the name Belta Shazer,

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: to Hannanaiah, Shadraq, to Michelle Meshak, and to Azariah a Bendigo.

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: But Daniel, here's Matex's purposed in his heart that he

43
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: would not defile himself with the king's delicacies nor with

44
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: thee which he drank. Therefore, he requested of the chief

45
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now

46
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: God had brought Daniel into favor and goodwill with the

47
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: chief of the eunuchs. I will stop breathing there, except

48
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: I want to quickly go to verse to verse nineteen

49
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: and twenty. Then the king interviewed them, and he said,

50
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: and he among them all, none was found like Daniel, Shadrack, Mishak,

51
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: and of Bendigo. They served before the king, and in

52
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king

53
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: examined them, he found them ten times better than the

54
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: magicians and strologers and astrologers that were in the rim.

55
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Then Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.

56
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: So I read a lot of scriptures, and on it

57
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: summed up. Nebukanezar was king of Babylon. He invaded Israel,

58
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: and he took captive We're told this in several different

59
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: passages in the scripture ten thousand young people. He took

60
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: ten thousand young people captive, and specifically we're given even

61
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: more detail into that insight. In this text, we would

62
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: call the cream of the crop, the most talented, the

63
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: most gifted, the best looking, the wisest, the ones who

64
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: were one read you some of the translations of the verse.

65
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: I just read you the princes that had no blemish,

66
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: exceedingly gifted, those that were very skillful in science, groomed

67
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: and taught. Another translation said those that were exceptionally healthy, handsome,

68
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: well educated, perfect special semens. He took ten thousand and

69
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: enslaved them in a sophisticated way of slavery. Not like

70
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: the old Egyptians working in brick houses. These this was

71
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: a different type. They were given a lot of things,

72
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: and just four out of the ten thousand are we

73
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: ever given a report on? And you just got the

74
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: four Daniel, Shadrack, Nieshak, and a Bendigo out of ten

75
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: thousand that were taken back to build Babylon and its

76
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: culture with their talents and gifts and everything that they had.

77
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Their brilliants were only told that four made it to

78
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: the highest position possible to literally serve Nebuknezzar. And he

79
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: turned to them like a filters, to run everything by them.

80
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: That he did, and he talked directly to them, and

81
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: he threw out the astrologers and magicians and false prophets,

82
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: and he brought them in. And even though he was

83
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: a heathen, he would listen to them, because there was

84
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: something about them that was ten times ten times brighter,

85
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: ten times something about them that that was a magnet

86
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: to this evil, really evil king Nebuconezzar. The Book of

87
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: Daniel gives us their names. But what stood out to

88
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: me is the key to it all, the key to

89
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: them being in that position of influence, not only through

90
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: the whole administration of Nebucazzar, but then his grandson took over,

91
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: and all the way to Cyrus, the next three three

92
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: administrations over three generations, about forty years each. It's amazing.

93
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: And right in that circle of influence was Daniel. We know,

94
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: and probably Shadrack Mishak.

95
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: And have been Togo.

96
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: We don't hear much about them, but you have Daniel there,

97
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: and he's called up in every one of those.

98
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: It all came because of one thing that he did.

99
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Right here, it said, but Daniel purpose within his heart

100
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: that he would not defile himself with the king's meat

101
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: and wine.

102
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: Now what was the king's meat and wine.

103
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: It was meat that had been offered on altars to

104
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: gods like Bell in worship of demonic gods and false gods.

105
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: And they had offered the meat and the animal on

106
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: the altar, and then the king would eat the meat

107
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: that had been offered to false gods and drink the

108
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: wine that had been on the altar.

109
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: And he said, I want all of them to eat it.

110
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: And in this moment, listen, listen, now I'm talking about

111
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: the ripple effect of consecration. It seems like a small thing.

112
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: It seems like a little compromise, gone Daniel, and just

113
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: eat the meat and drink the wine. You kind of

114
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: got to go with Babylon, since you're in Babylon. But

115
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: something in him said, I've got this conviction that I

116
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: saw them offer that meat and that wine to a

117
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: false god. And my body is the temple of the

118
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. And I don't think I'm gonna put that

119
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: in there. And the Bible said he purposed. Everybody say

120
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: he purposed. It did not say they purposed, And he

121
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: didn't say they purposed for a reason. Shadrack, Meshak and

122
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: a Bendigo were highly influenced by the leadership and consecration

123
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: of Daniel.

124
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: And the reason it didn't.

125
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: Say they purposed was because first always God starts with

126
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: one person who's consecrated, and when one stands up, then

127
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: the three they I could almost see it my mind.

128
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: They're sitting at the banquet table. There's thousands of others.

129
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: The meat comes, the wine comes, but he sits there, Daniel,

130
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: and he purposed in his heart.

131
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: I can't do this.

132
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: And when everybody starts eating, he's just sitting there.

133
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: And shadrack me, Shack can have been to go look

134
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: at each.

135
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Other and look at one another and look at him,

136
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: and he's not eating. And they said, well, if he's

137
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: not going to do it, then we're not going to

138
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: do it. Later on, when Daniel wouldn't bow down when

139
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: they played the music, shadracked me, Shack can have been

140
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: to go said if he doesn't bow, we don't bow.

141
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: And it's a powerful thing. I purpose not to eat

142
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: and drink the king's meat. And they said, we're in

143
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: it with you. And it's one thing. When one person

144
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: stands up. That's why your consecration matters. It does matter

145
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: what other people say is okay, we need people with

146
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: consecration in.

147
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: Their own heart for the Lord.

148
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: And when he got it, then the ripple effect hit shadrack, knees,

149
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: shack and a bendigo. And notice now it's not one standing,

150
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: because there's power in numbers. Now there's three who join

151
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: the one. There's four standing. And a threefold cord is

152
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: not easily broken. And one can put a thousand to fight,

153
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: two can put ten thousand and four people standing up

154
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: for what the conviction of their heart and the consecration

155
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: of their life stands for effects an entire nation. Now,

156
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: when this young man, one man stood, the Bible said,

157
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: and God honored them. He honored their convictions, he honored

158
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: their consecration, he honored their dedication. And they were given

159
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: knowledge and skill in learning. And Daniel had the skill

160
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: of visions and dreams.

161
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: At the end of the three years.

162
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: The king would call up all of these young men

163
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: and he would hand pick who he wanted to serve him.

164
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: And the scripture said that Daniel made this consecration that

165
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: I want to eat the King's meat. And the person

166
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: over him heard about it, who worked for Nebuconezer, and

167
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: he said, you can't do that.

168
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: You can't stop eating the king's meat.

169
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna look puny, You're gonna look too skinny, you're

170
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna look emaciated. I cannot let you do that. And

171
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: Daniel said, I challenge you to something. He said, you

172
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: let me give up that meat that's been offered to

173
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: your gods, and you let the rest of these kids

174
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: eat this food. But you let me eat vegetables and

175
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: drink water. And give me granola. He asked for grain, granola,

176
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: minus the sugar. And he said, give it to me.

177
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: And after ten days, let's see who's the fairest of

178
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: them all.

179
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: Mirror, mirror on the wall.

180
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: And after ten days, your Bible said that they looked fairer.

181
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: Daniel and Shadrack me shaking a bendigo were better looking,

182
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: fairer and fatter.

183
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 2: Turn to somebody and say, watch that granola. Fatter, fatter.

184
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: Than those who were eating the rich meat from the

185
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: king's table. And the king commanded that they be brought

186
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: before him, and he chose them, and he said, and

187
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: let them stand before me in all matters, for he

188
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: found them ten times better than all the others standing

189
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: by all because was consecrated and had convictions. And he said,

190
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow my convictions. It hits three more, it

191
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: ripple effects on three more, and then the whole nation ultimately,

192
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: because a few chapters later it really got them in

193
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: trouble and they had to go into the fiery furnace.

194
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: And when they got in the fiery furnace, the king

195
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: saw that he put three in shadracked me, Shack and

196
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: of Bendigo. I love that story because the Bible said

197
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: as they were taking as the guards were taking them,

198
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: that the furnace was heated up seven times hotter, and

199
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: they started to throw them in. And when they taken them,

200
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: I saw something I've never seen before. The guards got

201
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: burned up. But guess what shadracked Me, Shack and of

202
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: Indigo was what they were guarding. And they were taking

203
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: them to the furnace and it burned. You know how

204
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: you know God's with you? What killed other people, what

205
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: other people didn't get through? Somehow God had you in

206
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: a bubble of protection.

207
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: Wow, hallelujah, that's for free.

208
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: That's not my sermon. Nebucar passed off the scene. I'm

209
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: talking about the ripple effect of a consecration. Nebu Cazzar

210
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: passed off the scene.

211
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: He dies.

212
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: And next comes his grandson, Belshazer, and the Bible says

213
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: that when he comes to the when he comes to

214
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: the throne, that he's having a party, but God can

215
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: crash your party. And suddenly he blasphems God, and out

216
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: of the darkness a finger and a hand of fire

217
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: starts writing on the side of the wall, and the

218
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Bible said that this grandson of Nebuconezzar, his knees were

219
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: so shaken by what he was experiencing that he started trembling.

220
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: And on the side of the wall, God crashed the party.

221
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Meani meeni tk you farcel, And he said, what does

222
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: this mean? And they said, there's an old man that

223
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: your granddaddy used to use.

224
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: In his administration. Bring him up.

225
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: And they brought him up, and he said, you've been

226
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: found in the balance. You've been held in the balance

227
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: and found warning, and the kingdom will be taken from you.

228
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: And within twenty four hours the kingdom was taken. But

229
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: Daniel was there. And then Cyrus came and guess what

230
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: he called Daniel up, and Daniel gave him instructions. All

231
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: from one consecration in First Samuel seventeen. The giant had

232
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: immobilized the whole army of Israel, and Saul was afraid.

233
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: The army of Israel was afraid, and a young boy

234
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: about seventeen years of age named David goes to the

235
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: battlefield to deliver some snacks and food with no intentions

236
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: of fighting. But when he heard that giant bellowing out

237
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: threats and cursing their god, he said, what are we

238
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: doing here?

239
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: Is there not a cause? Why are you not out

240
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: there fighting?

241
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: And Saul said, well, we're afraid, but you can't fight him.

242
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: You're too little.

243
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: He said, well, I was tending my father's sheep and

244
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: a lion came and I slew him.

245
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: It happened in private.

246
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: And I was tending my father's sheep another time and

247
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: a bear came and I slew him, and it was

248
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: in private. See, before you have a national victory, you

249
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: got to have some private consecration. And when the lion

250
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: and the bear, when you start slaying the lion and

251
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: the bear in private, you will begin to have the

252
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: public rewards that God has for your life. Goliath is

253
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: not gonna fall if you don't have victory with the

254
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: lion and the bear. When nobody's looking the whole nation

255
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: is looking with Goliath. Everybody's eyes are on that battle.

256
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: But the key to that victory is private consecration. When

257
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: he's fighting the personal battle, just him and the lion,

258
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: just him and the bear, just him and convictions, and

259
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: it's nobody sees this but me and God. And when

260
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: you're reading your Bible, nobody sees that but.

261
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: You and God.

262
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: When you're praying, nobody sees that but you and God.

263
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: And then when you get public victories, it's because of

264
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: what you've been doing in the private times, the power,

265
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: the ripple effect.

266
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: Of consecration.

267
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you

268
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: to Real America's Voice. There's something that's going to happen.

269
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: I believe as you watch this program, lean in, listen,

270
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: and let's see what God can do in your life.

271
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: You know, there were five other men who rose up

272
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: after David slew Goliath and second Samuel. It gives five

273
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: names because Goliath had four brothers and he had a

274
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: son also, and there were four other five other men

275
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: who rose up after they saw notices, after they saw

276
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: David with consecration defeat Goliath. Then they rose up and

277
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: they killed the other giants. Why because of the ripple

278
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: of facts. All it takes is one young person to

279
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: stand up in a youth group and say, you know,

280
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: if I'm good looking, it's because God wants to use me.

281
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: If I'm talented, it's because God wants to use me.

282
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: If I've got an advantage in life, If I'm smart,

283
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: it's because God wants to use me.

284
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: And I want God to be number one in my life.

285
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 1: And I don't care what everybody else is drinking and

286
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: what everybody else is doing. I want to be so

287
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: totally sold out to God. And when one person in

288
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: the youth group says I'll be that one, then the

289
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: ripple effects hits shadrack me shacking a bendigo, and it starts.

290
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: Hitting the whole youth group.

291
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: Same thing can happen in a family, amen, the ripple

292
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: effect of consecration.

293
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: My brother Richie, who's going on to be with the Lord.

294
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: He he he was the one who fasted so much more

295
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: he would go. He's literally went on a forty day

296
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: fast and did nothing but drink water. And I said,

297
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna die. I just told him that you're gonna die.

298
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna kill you. He didn't die from that. He

299
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: came out. And I'll never forget the day that I

300
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: was saved, the Sunday that I had no intentions of

301
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: being saved. I was a rebellious young teenager. But I

302
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: went just a typical Sunday morning. My dad was a pastor.

303
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: He preached that morning. I don't remember anything about any

304
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: of that, and I didn't care. I was sitting back there.

305
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: Just went in the church service, wanting it to get

306
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: over so I could get out and do my thing.

307
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: And I sat down, and Richie knew that I wasn't

308
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: living right, and he knew some things, you know, little

309
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: tattle tales would tell on you, and he was hearing

310
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff.

311
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 2: For some reason.

312
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: When we all sat down, Mom had fixed a big

313
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: lunch after church, and she always had a spread, and man,

314
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: we were so hungry. And somebody said, where's Richie And

315
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: they said, he's fasting.

316
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: He's not coming to lunch.

317
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: And I didn't know it until after the service that night,

318
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: but he had been fasting for me. And I went

319
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: to church that night and he got up and he

320
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: felt led to sing before my dad was to preach

321
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: at the Cross.

322
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: At the Cross where I first saw the light, and.

323
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: There was something about the way that he started singing

324
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: it that I was as rebellious as I could be.

325
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: But it tore through all of that and the consecration

326
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: of fasting that he had heard the Holy Spirit say

327
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: fast today for Jensen. And when he started singing that song,

328
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: the conviction became so real that I couldn't even let

329
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: the service get over with. I walked down the a.

330
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: I was embarrassed. I didn't know what was gonna happen.

331
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: I felt like, oh.

332
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: God, this is stupid, but I got to do it.

333
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Tears were streaming down my face and I dropped on

334
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: my knees and when I did, the whole church it

335
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: felt like came around me.

336
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 2: And I got saved. And then others started.

337
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: Coming and they got saved because they knew me and.

338
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: I had influence over it. So I want you to

339
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: see it.

340
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: There's Daniel, and there's Shadrack, me shacking a bendigo, there's

341
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: my brother Richie.

342
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: And then he.

343
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: Touched his consecration touched me, and when I knew my

344
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: consecration touched others still is today for the glory of God.

345
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's a power in consecration.

346
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: Now, where did this consecration come from in Daniel's life?

347
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: Where did it start?

348
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: It's a great question, and it's so important to understand

349
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: because the Bible said in First Kings twenty two and

350
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: verse one that Shadrack Mishak had been to go. The

351
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: reason they were impacted was because of Daniel. And what

352
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: is interesting is, guess who was king when Daniel was

353
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: a little child. Guess who his leader was when he

354
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: was just a young fellow. Josiah was eight years old

355
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: when he became king, and he reigned thirty one years

356
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedediah, the daughter of.

357
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: Ada.

358
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: Who cares Amen bozarticle, whatever it is is wearing my

359
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: brain out, trying to figure it out. I'm not preaching

360
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: on them. I don't care about them right now. The

361
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: thing that is imported, the thing that is imported eight

362
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: years old?

363
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: Is there an eight year old? You got? Do you

364
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: get me an eight year old?

365
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: Come out, come here, buddy. I want to introduce to

366
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: y'all Josiah. This is this is gonna be my little

367
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: illustration right here.

368
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: He became king at eight years old?

369
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Is there a sixteen year old young man here, sixteen

370
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: year old that would come, come here, Come here, as

371
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: sixteen year old.

372
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: Watch this. Now you stand right there at Grayson. That's

373
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: your name. No, your name is Josiah. Now come here.

374
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: Now he's he's eight years old when he begins to

375
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: be king. And the thing that is so strange about

376
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: this text is he did what was right. If you're

377
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: going to read the rest of that verse, it says

378
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord,

379
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: and followed the example of David, and he did not

380
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: vary from the left or the right. He at the

381
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: age of eight, when he became sixteen, the Bible said

382
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: that he felt stirred in his heart to begin to

383
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: clean out the temple, because the whole land was in idolatry.

384
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: And he said, go clean the temple out, gave the orders,

385
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: and they went and started going through the rubbish and

386
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: tearing down the altars, and they were sacrificing animals to

387
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: false gods and all of that through all.

388
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: The administrations before.

389
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: And so as they're cleaning out the temple, they come

390
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: across moses ten commandments and the law that Moses wrote

391
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: from Genesis to the Book of Deuteronomy, Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus,

392
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: and Deuterono me all of those books, and he when

393
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: he heard it, at the age of sixteen sixteen, he said,

394
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: I want you to bring me those scrolls, and i

395
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: want you to read me that word.

396
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the power of a consecration.

397
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: And at the age of sixteen, he made them read

398
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: to him Genesis all the way in one sitting, all

399
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: the way to the end of the Book of Deuteronomy,

400
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: through all five books of the Old Testament, the first

401
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: five books. He sat and he listened, and he listened,

402
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: and he listened for how many hours.

403
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: After hour after hour after hour.

404
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: And at some point the word of God began to effect.

405
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: A sixteen year old that in that sitting the Bible

406
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: said that he began to weep. He tore his robe,

407
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: he rent his clothes, he fell down, he was weeping

408
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: and sobbing. He knew that Israel was backslidden. And he

409
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: starts saying, we're gonna do more than talk about it.

410
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: We're about to have a revival in this nation. It

411
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: started with an eight year old who did not He

412
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: had a father named a has who was a wicked,

413
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: wicked wicked man. But for some reason, he wasn't named

414
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: a Has Junior. He was named Joe Ass. This is

415
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: the astounding thing. By the time he's sixteen, Hello, I'm

416
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you to real

00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: Now I want you to see something else.

422
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: Is there a young man at the age of twenty

423
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: six that can help me preach my sermon?

424
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: Is there a twenty six year old? Well?

Speaker 1: Come on, Oh, he's really he's really looking sho come home,

00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: little preacher man, Come on, now here we go.

427
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: Man, we didn't plan this.

428
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: Twenty six year old man of God. This is incredible. Well,

429
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: the Lord knows how to do a sermon better than

430
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: I do. Wow, amazed. I just told him to find

431
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: me an eight year old sixteen twenty six at twenty six,

432
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't have time to read it all.

433
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: But he goes through the land.

434
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: He goes to the valley where they were burning their

435
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: children alive, and humans sacrifices their babies, sacrificing them to

436
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: false gods, and he levels the places.

437
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: He goes all over.

438
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: The nation, and he tears down the high places in Israel,

439
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: he takes out, he takes out.

440
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: The false priests.

441
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: He burns down the houses of immorality, he burns down.

442
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: And I mean at twenty six years old. At sixteen

443
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: he had a consecration for the Word.

444
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: At eight he was put in a place. He was different.

445
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: He did what was right in the eyes of God.

446
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: Even when he was eight. Something in him. And by

447
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: the time that his reign was over, he was in

448
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: his forties.

449
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: That'll be me. I started to.

450
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: Get somebody, but I thought I could play that part.

451
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Can I show you what is astounding? As the twenty

452
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: six year old Josiah is going through the land, and

453
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: the Bible said there was no king like him. As

454
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, when he died, they were so sad.

455
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: He had so impacted. In Second Chronicles thirty five and

456
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: twenty five, he impacted Jeremiah, and he lamented for Josiah.

457
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: According to Second Chronicles thirty five and twenty five, and

458
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: to this day, all the singing men and women speak

459
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: of Josiah in their lammations. They made a custom for

460
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: Israel indeed, they have written this in the Lamits or

461
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: the Book of Lamitations. That text is saying. The whole

462
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Book of Lamentations, all the heaping of Lamentations has to

463
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: do with Josiah, who was so committed and so consecrated

464
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: to God that he touched people like Jeremiah and Daniel,

465
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: one human being. But he goes and rides up to

466
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: northern Israel, the last thing he does when he's in

467
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: his forties. And when he gets to northern Israel, he

468
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: sees a graveyard of kings that did evil in the

469
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: sight of the Lord. And the Lord stirs him, and

470
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: he says, dig their bones up, and tear their sepulchers down,

471
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: and their grave places down, and burn their bones. And

472
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: in the middle of it there is this verse in

473
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: One Kings thirteen.

474
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: It's an amazing story. Throw it up verses one and two.

475
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: And he says, now, he says, now, I want to

476
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: ask you a question. What is this sepulcher over here?

477
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: And he said, well, this is the seffuchler of a prophet.

478
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: And this is what he said. There was a prophet

479
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: who prophesied Behold three hundred and forty four years mister Josiah,

480
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: before you're ever eight or sixteen, or twenty six or

481
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: forty something. Three hundred and forty four years ago, there

482
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: was a prophet who looked at the evil king that

483
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: was there, named Jeroboam, and he said, Jeroboam, you feel

484
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: big and strong and mighty. But there's coming one day

485
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: in the future, three hundred and forty four years from now,

486
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: there'll be a young king by the name of Josiah

487
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: who will be born, and he will burn your bones.

488
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: I believe that there is a call on this generation

489
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: that is not too late for revival. But God needs

490
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: one person who will say, I'll consecrate my life to him.

491
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: And it's astounding, and it's astonishing that before he was

492
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: ever born, three hundred and forty four years plus, that

493
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: an eight year old would become king. At sixteen he

494
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: would devour the word of God, and at twenty six

495
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: he would tear down the false idols all over the nation.

496
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: And in his forties when he burned all the bones

497
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: of those kings, and he said, you leave that sepulcher

498
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: alone if that old prophet's bones is in there, because

499
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: he called my name out before I was ever born.

500
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: He didn't know it when he was here and here

501
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: and here. But there was a prophecy over his life

502
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: that was working for three hundred and forty four years,

503
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: and the power of consecration through every phase of life

504
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: got him to that moment of fulfillment where he burned

505
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: the bones of that evil king.

506
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: Consecration matters, dedication to God matters. Stand to your feet

507
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: all over this room.

508
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if there's any teenagers this morning

509
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: who would say, I would like to make you number one.

Speaker 1: I would like to consecrate my life. I wonder if

513
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: did God put me on this earth to do. He

514
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: has a purpose for you, no matter what you've been through,

515
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: no matter what your past is like. God knows your name.

516
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: He told Jeremiah before you were in your mother's womb,

517
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: I knew you, called you and ordained you to be

518
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:27,680

575
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: want to be a Daniel. I want to be a

Speaker 1: Just like Josiah. I give you the years of my youth.

579
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: I give you the years of my life myself to

00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: you on this altar this morning, and let it.

581
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: Have a ripple effect. I closed with this.

582
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: There is the tragedy of unconsecrated brilliants in this story.

583
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: Nebu Canezzar did good for a while, and he was brilliant,

584
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: but he lost his consecration and it cost him everything.

585
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: I've watched through the years. I've watched through the years

586
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: unconsecrated brilliants. Those young people were the most brilliant of

587
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: their generation, and many of them did not consecrate themselves.

588
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: See if God's given you talent it needs to be

589
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: consecrated talent, because there's a tragedy always attached to people

590
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: who have unconsecrated talent, unconsecrated brilliants, unconsecrated good looks, unconsecrated.

591
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 2: Brilliant minds.

592
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: You need to give him your talent, You need to

593
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: give him your advantage, You need to give him the

594
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: ability that lies in you. So right here, right now,

595
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: do you know how many I've watched that had unconsecrated brillants.

596
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: I would say to every one of you businesspeople, if

597
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: you're not careful, the more God raises you, the more

598
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: that God blesses you, the more you get to run

599
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: with this one and that one and do this and

600
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: that that, you lose your consecration. And there's always a

601
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: tragedy to unconsecrated brillants and success. It's an empty life

602
00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: without Jesus, every head bowled, every eye clothes. If you

603
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: would say, Pastor Jensen, I need to dedicate and consecrate

604
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: my life to Jesus Christ.

605
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: I know I'm lost, I know I'm not right, but

606
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: I want to get right. Pray for me.

607
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: If that's you, raise your hand as high as you

608
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: can get it right where you're standing amazing at every campus,

609
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: the pastors are coming. Keep it high and unashamed with

610
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: those hands raised. Right now, everybody, pray this prayer out loud.

611
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: Those of you watching online, in the prison, wherever you're

612
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: watching this. God knows where you are, and God knows

613
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: that you have a destiny and He has written your

614
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: name for some things to happen.

615
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: Before you were ever even born. Pastor, pray for me.

616
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: I want to get Jesus on the throne of my heart.

617
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: Pray for me. All right, let's pray this together. Say Jesus,

618
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: wash me, cleanse me, forgive me. I publicly standing right here,

619
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: I give you my life. I surrender it to you,

620
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: and may your will be done.

621
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: Wash me, cleanse me, and use me. Come on, say this.
