They were 44 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 4: spending the night at their grandmother's house, and she told 45 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 4: them before they went to bed to make sure they 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 4: said their prayers. They went in the bedroom, got down 47 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 4: on their knees, and the youngest brother started praying at 48 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 4: the top of his lungs. God, I pray for a 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 4: new bicycle. I pray for a new PlayStation. I pray 50 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 4: for a new puppy. His brother stopped him and said, 51 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 4: why are you screaming? God isn't death? He said, I 52 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 4: know that, but grandmother is say it like you mean it. 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 54 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 55 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 56 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 57 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about surrounded by the most high. 60 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 4: We all have times where we feel like we're surrounded 61 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 4: by difficulties, surrounded by sickness, surrounded by death. Everywhere we 62 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 4: turn it's facing us, and it's easy to get discouraged 63 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 4: and think I'll never get out of this. It has 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: me surrounded. That's the way a young man felt in 65 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 4: Second Kings, chapter six. The King of Aram had just 66 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 4: sent a great army with horses and chariots to surround 67 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: Elisha's house. They snuck up in the middle of the 68 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 4: night and had it totally encircled. The next morning, when 69 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 4: the young men went out saw all the horses and chariots, 70 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 4: he nearly passed out. He ran back in, totally panicked, said, Elisha, 71 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 4: wake up, We're surrounded by the enemy. What are we 72 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: going to do? Elisha said, don't be afraid. There are 73 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: more for us than there are against us. I can 74 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: hear him saying, what do you mean, Elisha, Just you 75 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: and me. I saw thousands of them. Elisha prayed, Lord 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: opened his eyes and let him see. All of a sudden, 77 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 4: the young man looked out and saw hundreds of thousands 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: of powerful, warring angels all across the mountain side, standing 79 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 4: beside their chariots afire. He thought he was surrounded by 80 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: the enemy. The truth is the enemy was surrounded by 81 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 4: our God. Like him. You may be surrounded by trouble, 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 4: surrounded by sickness, surrounded by an addiction. But what you 83 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 4: can't see is the most high God is surrounding what's 84 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 4: surrounding you. Sickness may be surrounding you, you're dealing with 85 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: an illness. The good news is sickness doesn't have the 86 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 4: final say sickness is surrounded. The right attitude is cancer. 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: You think you have me surrounded, you better look again. 88 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 4: My God has you surrounded that you think you're surrounding me. 89 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 4: I have bad the news for you. The Lord, my provider, 90 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 4: is surrounding you. Trouble at work. You think you're going 91 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 4: to keep me from my purpose, depression, You think you're 92 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 4: going to stop my destiny. You may have me surrounded. 93 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 4: I'll give you that much, but I know a secret. 94 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: The most High God is surrounding you. When you understand 95 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 4: God is surrounding what's surrounding you, you won't go around 96 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: discourage because of problems, worried about finances, upset because somebody's 97 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 4: against you. You'll be like Elisha. You'll stay in peace, 98 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 4: knowing that there are more for you than there are 99 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 4: against you. Elisha prayed that God would open the young 100 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 4: man's eyes so he could see there's another world that 101 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: we cannot see with our physical eyes. If God were 102 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 4: to pull back the curtain like he did for this 103 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 4: young man, and you could see into the unseen realm, 104 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: you would see all these powerful, worrying angels at work 105 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 4: on your behalf standing guard, protecting you, pushing back forces 106 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: of darkness. You would see God moving the wrong people 107 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 4: out of the way, lining up things in your favor, 108 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: good breaks, healing, deliverance. Don't get discouraged by what you 109 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 4: see with your physical eyes. If you stay focused on 110 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 4: the opposition, the addiction, the sickness, then you'll live stressed out. 111 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 4: You'll give up on dreams. Through your eyes of faith, 112 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 4: you need to see every obstacle holding you back surrounded 113 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 4: by the Most High. That addiction may be strong, but 114 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 4: it's surrounded by something stronger. God controls the universe. He 115 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 4: flung stars into space. One angel in the Old Testament 116 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 4: defeated one hundred and eighty thousand of the enemies of God. 117 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 4: You may have big obstacles in your path. You feel stuck. 118 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 4: I believe today God is opening our eyes. We're getting 119 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: a new perspective, recognizing He's surrounding what's surrounding us. That child, 120 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 4: this off course, doesn't look like he'll fulfill his destiny. 121 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 4: Imagine him surrounded by mercy, surrounded by favor, surrounded by 122 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: the Most High. David said in Psalm three, I am 123 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 4: not afraid of ten thousand enemies that surround me on 124 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 4: every side. You would think with so many enemies, he'd 125 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: be a little worried, upset, afraid. He went on to say, 126 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 4: I know victory comes from the Lord. He was saying, yes, 127 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: I'm surrounded by all these enemies. I could be overwhelmed. 128 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 4: But the reason I'm not falling apart is I know 129 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: a secret God is surrounding what's surrounding me. He had 130 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: his spiritual eyes open. He didn't just see his enemies 131 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 4: through his eyes of faith. He saw the most high fighting, 132 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 4: his making, his crooked places strife. Like David, you may 133 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 4: feel surrounded by enemies, addictions, sicknesses. Maybe forces are kind 134 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 4: to keep you from your dreams. You could easily think, well, 135 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 4: it's just not meant to be. But here's the key. 136 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: What you see with your physical eyes is not the 137 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 4: only thing surrounding you. If you'll open your eyes of faith, 138 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: you'll recognize the trouble, the addiction, the dysfunction. It is 139 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: surrounded by our God. You're not just surrounded by the negative. 140 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: That's one layer, but God supersedes that. You're surrounded by fever, 141 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 4: surrounded by healing, surrounded by victory. I saw a movie 142 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 4: one time based on a true story from back in 143 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: the seventeen hundreds. This army had surrounded a city. They 144 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 4: were planning to attack it. They were very strategic to 145 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 4: go completely around it to make sure nobody could get out. 146 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 4: They cut off the foods supple and were going to 147 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 4: wait several weeks until the people were famished and then 148 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: go in. And this army was very arrogant, cocky people. 149 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 4: They would stand outside the city walls and hurl insults, 150 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 4: make fun trying to get the people to engage. A 151 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 4: month later they decided to attack. They rushed into the 152 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 4: city so confidently. The only problem was nobody was there. 153 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: When they turned to leave, they suddenly realized they were 154 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 4: the one surrounded. The people in the city received word 155 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 4: that they were going to attack. They snuck out before 156 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 4: they got there and went and hid in the hills 157 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 4: while the enemy was surrounding the city. Being so strategic, 158 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 4: thinking they were gaining the upper hand, the people from 159 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 4: the city were surrounding them. When they realized they were 160 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,239 Speaker 4: totally surrounded, they put up the white flag, dropped their weapons, surrendered. 161 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 4: When you're in difficult times, the enemy will do a 162 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 4: lot of talking. He'll tell you I have you surrounded. 163 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 4: This sickness will be the end. You'll never get out. 164 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 4: You'll never break the addiction, you'll never get out of debt. 165 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: Look how long you've been there. Don't believe those lies. 166 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 4: He thinks he has you surrounded. What he doesn't realize 167 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 4: is the most high God has him surrounded. God knows 168 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 4: everything that's going to happen. He knows every attack, every disappointment, 169 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 4: every unfair situation. When you feel like you're surrounded, you 170 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 4: have to come back to that place of peace and say, 171 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: I know my God is still on the throne. He's 172 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 4: bigger than this sickness, greater than this addiction, more powerful 173 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 4: than these enemies. This is what the three Hebrew teenagers 174 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 4: did in the scripture. They wouldn't bow down to King 175 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 4: Nebukanezzar's golden idol. He was so upset he said, I'm 176 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 4: going to give you one last chance. Either bow down 177 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 4: or you're going to be thrown into a furnace. They said, King, 178 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 4: no disrespect to you, but we're not going to bow 179 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: down to your idol. We know our God will deliver us, 180 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 4: but even if he doesn't, we're still not going to 181 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: bow down. They were saying, you can't stop God's plan 182 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: for our life. You can throw us in the fire. 183 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 4: We may be surrounded by that fire, but we know 184 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 4: our God is surrounding the fire. If it's not our 185 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 4: time to go, we're not going to go. The king 186 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 4: was so furious he had the furnace heated seven times 187 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 4: hotter than normal. The teenagers were tied up and thrown 188 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 4: into the furnace. They weren't bitter, complaining God, why'd you 189 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 4: let this happen? They stayed in peace. A little later 190 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: the king went to check on them. He looked through 191 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 4: the window in the furnace and said, didn't we throw 192 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 4: three men in bound? I see four men loosed, and 193 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 4: one looks like the son of God. You may feel 194 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 4: like you're in the fire. You've had a disappointment. You 195 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 4: don't see how it could work out. The good news 196 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 4: is you're not in there by yourself. The God who 197 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 4: controls the fire. That fourth man is right there with you. 198 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 4: This is the beauty of our God. He doesn't leave 199 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 4: us in tough times. He comes into the fire with us. 200 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: The king thought, throwing them into the furnace, surrounding them 201 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 4: by fire, surely that would be the end. What he 202 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 4: didn't realize. Is the God who created the fire, the 203 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 4: God who controls the universe. He has the final say. 204 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 4: What's surrounding you may seem big, strong, insurmountable, but our 205 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 4: God is all powerful. That sickness may look like it's 206 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 4: the end. But when God says live, you're going to live. 207 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: That addiction may look permanent, thoughts tell you you'll never 208 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: break it. God is saying you're not going to stay 209 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 4: in that fire. That addiction is not how your story ends. 210 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 4: The Fourth Man is about to show up. Things are 211 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 4: about to change in your favor. What you thought was 212 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 4: going to stop you instead is going to promote you. 213 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: When Nebuchnezar saw that the teenagers were still alive, he 214 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 4: couldn't believe it. He shouted, Shadrak me jaka Bendigo, servants 215 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: of the Most High God, come out of that fire. 216 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 4: A few minutes earlier, he was telling them to bow 217 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: to his golden idol. Now he's calling them servants of 218 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 4: the Most High God. Sometimes God will allow the fire 219 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: just so other people will see he is God. He'll 220 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 4: use you as an example. They may not believe before, 221 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 4: but when they see God show out in your life, 222 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 4: when they see you beat the cancer, break the addiction, 223 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 4: set a new standard, go where you've never dreamed. They 224 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 4: won't be able to deny the blessed of God on 225 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 4: your life. And when these teenagers came out of the furnace, 226 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 4: people never looked at them the same way again. They 227 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 4: had a new influence, a new respect, a new level. 228 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 4: In fact, Neverkanesar said, praise be to the God of 229 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: Shadrak mee Jack and a vendigo. We may not like 230 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 4: the fiery furnaces, but if we'll do like them and 231 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 4: keep the right attitude, God will use that difficulty to 232 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 4: establish you, to give you more credibility, to take you 233 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 4: to a new level. It's interesting it doesn't say that 234 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 4: the teenagers saw the fourth man. It says never saw him, 235 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 4: the one that threw them into the fire. In other words, 236 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 4: the people that tried to push you down, the people 237 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 4: that tried to hold you back, don't worry. They're going 238 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 4: to see the hand of God on you things that 239 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: you may not be able to see. This is why 240 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 4: you don't have to prove to people who you are. 241 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 4: You don't have to convince them that you're right. God 242 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: is your vindicator. He knows how to get their attention. 243 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 4: He knows how to change their mind. Well, Joel, if 244 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: I'm surrounded by the most time, why did I have 245 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 4: the problem in the first place? Why didn't God keep 246 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 4: me out of the furnace? But God never said we 247 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: wouldn't have difficulties. Being people of faith doesn't exempt us 248 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 4: from challenges, unfair situations. The Psalmist said, many are the 249 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 4: afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out 250 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 4: of them all. The promise is not that you won't 251 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 4: have challenges. The promise is God will bring you out, 252 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 4: not of some of them, not of most of them, 253 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 4: but out of all of them. When you're in the fire, 254 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 4: the right report is I'm coming out. This sickness is 255 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 4: not the end. This trouble is not permanent. This slow 256 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 4: down at work is just a season. You may not 257 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 4: realize it, but God is in the process of bringing 258 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 4: you out right now. You may not see him, but 259 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 4: the fourth man's in your fire right now. Without him there, 260 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 4: you wouldn't still be here. He's the one keeping the 261 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 4: fire from harming you. He's the one pushing back forces 262 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 4: of darkness. Don't complain in the fire. Give God praise 263 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 4: in the furnace. Be your best right where you are. 264 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 4: That difficulty cannot keep you from your purpose. But we 265 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 4: pray God, keep the out of the fire, keep me 266 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 4: out of this problem. And sometimes God will do that. 267 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 4: But most of the time God will make you fire 268 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 4: proof and take you through the fire. Coming out of 269 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 4: the furnace is a greater testimony. That's what gave the 270 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 4: teenagers a new respect with the king. That's what changed 271 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 4: the way people saw them. If God kept us out 272 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 4: of every furnace, we wouldn't reach the fullness of our destinies. 273 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 4: Here's why the teenagers were in the fire. The only 274 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 4: thing that burned were the cords that had them tied up. 275 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 4: Their clothes didn't burn, their shoes didn't burn, just the cords. 276 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 4: When you're in the fire, God knows how to protect 277 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 4: what you need and at the same time burn off 278 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 4: anything that's holding you back. You are not going to 279 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 4: come out of the fire the same. You're going to 280 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 4: come out free from things that are holding you back 281 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 4: with a greater influence. People are going to look at 282 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 4: you in a new light. People that look down at 283 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 4: you are going to look up to you. People that 284 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 4: wouldn't pay you any attention are going to want your friendship. 285 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 4: Psalm thirty four says the angel of the Lord encamps 286 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 4: around those that fear him. One translation says, God's angels 287 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 4: set up a circle of protection around us. That's what 288 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 4: happened with the teenagers. That circle of protection didn't keep 289 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 4: them out of the fire, but it kept the fire 290 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 4: from harming them. And if you're not supposed to go 291 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: in the fire, you're not going to go. God will 292 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 4: keep you out. But if you do go, that doesn't 293 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: mean God lets you down. Well, I prayed, I was 294 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 4: doing my best, Joel, I got thrown into the furnace, 295 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: came down with this illness. My company had to let 296 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: me go. The enemy cannot break the circle of protection 297 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: God has around you. If you go in the fire, 298 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 4: that means God allowed it. The good news is the 299 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 4: same God that lets you go in is the God 300 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 4: that's going to bring you out. The enemy is not 301 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 4: in control of your life. God is God. Said to Satan, 302 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 4: have you seen my servant job. There's nobody like him. 303 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 4: He always honors me. Satan answered something interesting, He said, 304 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 4: why shouldn't he honor you? You put a hedge of 305 00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 4: protection around him. He couldn't test job without first asking 306 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 4: God for permission, and Job went through the test the 307 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 4: unfair situations, but he didn't get bitter. Job said, though 308 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 4: he slaved me, yet, will I trust him? He was 309 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 4: saying what the teenager said, God, my life is in 310 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 4: your hands. I'm surrounded by trouble, but I know you 311 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 4: have the final say. You're surrounding what's surrounding me, Like Job, 312 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 4: like these teenagers, God has a hedge of protection around 313 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 4: you and your family. I heard a story about a 314 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 4: young girl. She was walking to her car after class 315 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: late one night, and he was in a dark parking 316 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 4: lot and didn't look like anybody was around. All of 317 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 4: a sudden, these three men stepped out. They were hiding 318 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 4: behind a car about fifty feet in front of her, 319 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 4: and her heart skipped a beat. She knew they were 320 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 4: there to harm her. She wanted to run, but she 321 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 4: didn't have a chance. She stood there, praying under her breath. 322 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 4: The men continued coming closer. In her mind she was afraid, 323 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 4: but in her heart she was at peace. Something told 324 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 4: her everything is going to be okay. When the men 325 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 4: got about fifteen feet away, suddenly they froze in their tracks. 326 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 4: Their eyes got real big terror came across their face. 327 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 4: They begin to back up slowly, carefully. Then they turned 328 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 4: and ran as fast as they could. She knew that 329 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 4: God protected her, but she didn't really know what happened. 330 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 4: A few days later, they arrested one of the men. 331 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 4: He admitted that they were going to harm her, but 332 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 4: when they got close to her, he said, this mighty 333 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 4: warrior suddenly appeared. He began to describe, and he stood 334 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: over ten feet tall. He talked about his physique, how 335 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 4: his arms, his legs, his chest were rippled with muscles, 336 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 4: and how his face was radiating with so much light 337 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 4: he could hardly look at him. He had his sword drawn. 338 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 4: He was standing over this young lady. She only came 339 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 4: up to his waist. Had a sword in one hand 340 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 4: a shield in the other. He stared at those three 341 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 4: men just like he was saying, come on, make my day. 342 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 4: I dare you to touch her in the unseen realm. 343 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 4: Just like her, you have these powerful warring angels protecting you. 344 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 4: You may be surrounded by trouble. The good news is 345 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 4: the most high is surrounding that trouble. Psalm ninety one says, 346 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 4: when you honor God, he will command his angels to 347 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: watch over you. These three men thought they had the 348 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 4: young lady surrounded. They thought, no big deal, one girl 349 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 4: against three grown men. What they didn't realize was, like Elisha, 350 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 4: God had them surrounded. Those warring angels were standing guard 351 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: instead of going around worried. Turn it around. Father, Thank 352 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 4: you that your angels are watching over me. Thank you 353 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 4: that I'm surrounded by protection, surrounded by your goodness. When 354 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 4: you go through life in faith, knowing that God is 355 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 4: surrounding what's surrounding you, you're showing God that you trust him. 356 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: That's what allows God to show himself strong in your life. 357 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 4: But Joel, I had a bad break. God thrown into 358 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 4: the furnace. Don't see how it's going to work out. 359 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 4: That's going to keep you where you are. The right 360 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 4: attitude is, yes, this sickness has come against me, but 361 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 4: I know I'm surrounded by healing. Yes, I had a 362 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 4: bad break, but this is not my final chapter. I'm 363 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 4: surrounded by favor, surrounded by restoration. God didn't bring you 364 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: this far to leave you. It's a test. Every person 365 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 4: gets thrown into the furnace. It's not to defeat you. 366 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 4: It's to establish you. It's to let other people see 367 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 4: God's favor is on your life, and to let you 368 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 4: know that God is still in control. Every furnace God 369 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 4: brings you out of. You come out with a greater 370 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 4: trust in God, a greater confidence, a greater faith. That's 371 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 4: getting you prepared for the next level of your destiny. 372 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 4: With every experience, something is deposited that you will use 373 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 4: down the road. If you didn't need the furnace, if 374 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 4: it wasn't going to work for your good God would 375 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 4: have kept you out. You may not understand it, it 376 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 4: may not seem fair, but God knows what he's doing. 377 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 4: He's not going to let it defeat you. Thoughts will 378 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 4: tell you you'll never get out, you'll never get well, it'll 379 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 4: never turn around. Don't believe that God is bringing you 380 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 4: out right now like these teenagers. You're not only going 381 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 4: to come out, You're going to come out stronger, promoted 382 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: to a new level of your destiny. In the story 383 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 4: Second King's Chapter seven, Elisha prayed for the young man 384 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: that the Lord would open his eyes and he saw 385 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 4: all those powerful angels. But when the enemy army came closer, 386 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 4: Elisha prayed just the opposite, Lord, make them blind. The 387 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 4: commander knocked on Elisha's door, said, I'm here to see Elisha. 388 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 4: Elisha said, you've come to the wrong city. He doesn't 389 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 4: live here. Let me take you to where he is. 390 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 4: Sometimes you have to lie for the Lord. Elisha led 391 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 4: this enemy army to the city of Samaria, where they 392 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 4: were surrounded by the Israelites. Then he prayed, Lord opened 393 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 4: their eyes. They suddenly realized they were captured. It was 394 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 4: a trap. They were at the mercy of Elisha. Elisha 395 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 4: let them go. The scripture says they never bothered the 396 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 4: Israelites anymore. God knows how to turn your situation around. 397 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 4: Like Elisha, there are enemies that are not going to 398 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 4: bother you anymore. That sickness you've struggled with for years, 399 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 4: God is going to put an end to it. That 400 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 4: financial difficulty you can't seem to get ahead. You keep 401 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 4: honoring God being your best. You're going to see those 402 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 4: forces that have hindered you broken once and for all. 403 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 4: Now I realize that we will never live trouble free. 404 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 4: But there are some enemies like with Elisha. God will 405 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 4: free you from permanently. God told the Israelites the enemies 406 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 4: you see today you will see no more. Those things 407 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 4: that are holding you back, a sickness, depression, addictions. Dare 408 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 4: to believe, like what God told the Israelites, the sickness 409 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 4: you see today, you will see no more. That addiction 410 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 4: that's dogged you for years. You will see no more 411 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 4: that trouble at work, people trying to push you down. 412 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 4: You will see no more. A man told me recently 413 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 4: how over twenty years he wasn't treated fairly at work 414 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 4: because his boss didn't like him. This man was in cells. 415 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 4: He sold more than all the other salespeople, but he 416 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 4: was always overlooked for promotion, never given the bonuses that 417 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: he deserved. He didn't get bitter, he kept being his best. 418 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 4: He told me last week, Joe, my boss was just 419 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 4: suddenly terminated. They didn't tell anybody why, but out of 420 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 4: over sixty sealspeople, he was chosen to take his boss's position. 421 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: God is a god of justice. You keep doing the 422 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 4: right thing, and like him, you will come into that 423 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 4: day where the enemies you see today you will see 424 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 4: no more. They think they have you surrounded. The good 425 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 4: news is the most High God has them surrounded. My 426 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 4: prayer for us, Lord, open our eyes, help us to 427 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 4: realize there are more for us than there are against us. 428 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: That trouble that's keeping you awake at night, come back 429 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 4: to a place of peace. God has the trouble surrounded. Sure, 430 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 4: we all get thrown into the furnace, but the fire 431 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 4: is not the end. The only thing it's going to 432 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 4: do is burn off what's holding you back all through 433 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 4: the day, especially when you're tempted to worry. Remind yourself 434 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 4: I am surrounded by the most time. If you'll do this, 435 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 4: I believe and declare God is going to protect you, 436 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 4: deliver you, promote you. Things that have held you back 437 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 4: are being broken right now. You're coming out of the 438 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 4: furnace into freedom, into favor, in the healing, into the 439 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 4: fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, and if you 440 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 4: receive it, can you say amen? Today I'd like to 441 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 4: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of 442 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 4: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, 443 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: I'll repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 444 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 4: make you my Lord and savior. If you've prayed that 445 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 4: simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
