He wasn't feeling 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 5: up to par so we went to the doctor. A 46 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 5: few days later. The doctor saw him out in the 47 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 5: park with a beautiful young lady by his side. He 48 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 5: seemed as happy as Conde. The doctor said, Wow, you 49 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 5: sure are feeling a lot better, aren't you. He said, yes, Doctor, 50 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 5: I'm just following your orders. You said, get a hot 51 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 5: mama and stay cheerful. The doctor said, I didn't say that. 52 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 5: I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful, man. 53 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 5: He heard what he wanted to hear, but say like 54 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 5: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 55 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 5: it says I am. I have what it says I have. 56 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 57 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly 58 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 5: confess my mind is a lot, my heart is recepted. 59 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 60 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 61 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 5: God's got this. We all have things that come against us. 62 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 5: It's easy to live up tight, wondering how it's going 63 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 5: to work out. What if the medical report isn't good, 64 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 5: What if my finances don't get better, What if my 65 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 5: child doesn't get accepted in that school. We tried to 66 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 5: figure it out. We've done our best, but we don't 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 5: see anything changing, and if we're not careful, we'll live worried, discouraged, 68 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 5: not expecting it to get better. But there's a simple 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 5: phrase you have to keep down in your spirit. God's 70 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 5: got this. He's on the throne. He sees what's happening. 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 5: He already has the solution. You don't have to figure 72 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 5: it out. There may not be a logical answer in 73 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 5: the natural. You don't see a way that's okay. We 74 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 5: serve a supernatural God. He has ways to do it 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 5: we've never thought of. And instead of trying to force 76 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 5: it to happen. Living uptight, you have to let go 77 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 5: and let God. When you turn it over to him 78 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 5: and say, God, I know you've got this. I know 79 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 5: you're in control. Not only will you feel the heaviness 80 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 5: the weight lift off of you, but God will make 81 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 5: things happen that you couldn't make happen. And some of 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 5: the things that are frustrating you now causing you to 83 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 5: lose sleep, that would all change if you would have 84 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 5: this new perspective that God's got this. Sometimes we're trying 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 5: to play God, we're trying to make our boss promote 86 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 5: us make ourselves get well and make the contract go through. 87 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 5: But as long as we're trying to force it, live 88 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 5: in frustrated worried. Then God steps back. But when you 89 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 5: take your hands off and say, God, I know you've 90 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 5: got this, I'm not going to worry about my finances. 91 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 5: I'm not going to live up tight because of the 92 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 5: medical report. I'm not going to be frustrated because I 93 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 5: haven't met the right person. God. I trust your timing 94 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 5: and I trust your ways. My life is in your hands. 95 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 5: God never promised that we wouldn't have difficulties, but he 96 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 5: did promise he would give us strength for every battle. 97 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 5: He would take what was meant for harm and use 98 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 5: to our advantage. You may have a good reason to 99 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 5: worry about something in your health, your finances, a dream 100 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 5: you've done everything you can, doesn't look like it's going 101 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 5: to work out. Stay in faith. God is saying I've 102 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 5: got this. I'm working behind the scenes. I'm in the 103 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 5: process of turning it around. It's just a matter of 104 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 5: time before you see things change in your favor. Now 105 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 5: live out of a place of peace, a place of trust. 106 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 5: It may not happen the way you thought, but God's 107 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 5: ways are better than our ways. God knows what's best 108 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 5: for you. He's got this. In the scripture, a young 109 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 5: man named Daniel worked for King Darius. The king loved Daniel. 110 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 5: Daniel was so good at what he did. The king 111 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 5: was going to put Daniel in charge of his whole empire. 112 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: But when the other leaders heard this, they were jealous. 113 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 5: They came up with a plan to get rid of Daniel. 114 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 5: When you excel, when your gifts come out in great ways, 115 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 5: don't be surprised if people get jealous. Everyone is not 116 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 5: going to celebrate you. Some people will try to find 117 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 5: fault and hold you back. The good news is people 118 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 5: don't determine your destiny. God does. Keep being your best 119 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 5: and let God fight your battles. Don't get distracted trying 120 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 5: to prove to them who you are. God will be 121 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 5: your vindicator. God will take care of your enemies. These 122 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 5: people that were against Daniel tried to manipulate the king. 123 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 5: They said, King, you're so great. We've written a decree 124 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 5: that for the next thirty days, no one can pray 125 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 5: to anyone accept you. If they do, they'll be thrown 126 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 5: into a lion's den. They did this because they knew 127 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 5: Daniel prayed to Jehovah. They convinced the king to sign 128 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 5: this decree, but that didn't change Daniel. Three times a day, 129 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 5: just like normal, he knelt down on his knees, opened 130 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 5: his windows and prayed to the God of Abraham, the 131 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 5: God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. They ran back 132 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 5: and told the King this God, Daniel, one of the 133 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 5: captives from the tribe of Judah, is defying your order. 134 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 5: The king was upset with himself. He knew they had 135 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 5: manipulated him, but he couldn't go back on his word, 136 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 5: so he had Daniel sent to the lion's den. What's 137 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 5: interesting is that whole night the king fasted for Daniel. 138 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 5: And when you're in difficult situations, God has people praying 139 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,679 Speaker 5: for you that you don't know anything about. This king 140 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 5: was supposed to be his enemy, but he was actually 141 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 5: believing for Daniel's safety. When they arrested Daniel and took 142 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 5: him to the lion's den, he wasn't afraid, worried, panicked. 143 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 5: He understood this principle. A little earlier, Daniel had seen 144 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 5: his friends Shadracknejak, and Abednego, the Hebrew teenagers, get thrown 145 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 5: into a fiery furnace and come out without the smell 146 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 5: of smoke. Daniel's attitude was God's got this. I'm in 147 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 5: the palm of his hand. Nothing can snatch me away. 148 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 5: If it's not my time to go, I'm not going 149 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 5: to go. He stayed in peace. The apostle Paul said, 150 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 5: for me, to live is Christ and to die is Gain. 151 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 5: He was saying, in effect, if I live, I'm going 152 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 5: to give God praise, and if I don't live, I'm 153 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 5: going to give God praise. Either way, I'm going to 154 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 5: stay in faith, knowing that God's got this. What you're 155 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 5: facing maybe bigger, stronger, more powerful. But when you refuse 156 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 5: to worry, when you refuse to live stressed out. Instead, 157 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 5: you stay in peace, thanking God that he's fighting your battles, 158 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 5: knowing that he's in control. You are showing God by 159 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 5: your actions that you're trusting him. One evening, the authorities 160 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 5: threw Daniel into the lion's den. They expected him to 161 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 5: be eaten in a few minutes. These were hungry lions, 162 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 5: that's the way it always happened. But God supernaturally closed 163 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 5: the mouths of the lions. For some reason. They thought, 164 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 5: I'm not hungry tonight. I don't feel like eating one said, yeah, 165 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 5: I'm full too, I've got indigestion. I'm going to bed. 166 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 5: God made Daniel unappetizing to those lions. Have you ever 167 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 5: sat down to eat, but when you look at the food, 168 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 5: you think, I'm not hungry for this. I used to 169 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 5: love tuna sandwiches. I would eat one every night. And 170 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 5: a few years after we were married, I'd had a 171 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 5: virus for a day or so and I was just 172 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 5: getting over it. Victoria, being nice, brought me a tuna sandwich. 173 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 5: When I smelled that tuna almost threw out. Now, I 174 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 5: thought that is the worst smelling food in all the world. 175 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 5: Yet I would eat one every day. I can imagine 176 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 5: when these lions looked at Daniel, they were confused, thinking 177 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 5: we should eat this man. We like a good steak dinner. 178 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 5: But something is different tonight. We don't have our normal appetite. 179 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 5: God knows how to make you unappetizing to the enemy. 180 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 5: What should normally take you out, what should normally defeat 181 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 5: you for some reason? It can't harm you, It can't 182 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: stop your business, it can't take your health. There is 183 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 5: a bloodline God has put around you and your family. 184 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 5: God controls the universe, He controls the lions, He controls 185 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 5: the enemies. You're not at the mercy of random events, 186 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 5: people wanting to do you wrong, bad breaks. God has 187 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 5: a hedge of protection around you. Nothing can happen without 188 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 5: his permission. That's why we don't have to live worried uptight. 189 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 5: We're in a controlled environment. When the Hebrew teenagers were 190 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 5: about to be thrown into the fiery furnace because they 191 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 5: wouldn't bow down to the king's golden idol, they said, 192 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 5: we know our God will deliver us, but even if 193 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 5: he doesn't, we're still not going to bow down. They 194 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 5: weren't panicked, they weren't upset bitter. They knew they were 195 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 5: in a controlled environment. They were saying, like Paul, if 196 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 5: we live, we're going to give God praise. If we 197 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 5: don't live, we're going to go to heaven and still 198 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 5: give God praise. They stayed in faith, knowing that God 199 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 5: has the final says and yes, at some point we're 200 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 5: all going to die, but I've made up my mind. 201 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 5: I'm going to die in faith. I'm going to die believing, expecting, trusting, praising, 202 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 5: smiling with a good attitude, knowing that God is in 203 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 5: complete control. Nothing can snatch you out of his hands. 204 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 5: The number of your days he will fulfill in life 205 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 5: and in death. We have to know God's got this. 206 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 5: In the lions den that night, Daniel wasn't uptight on edge, 207 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 5: think it. I've made it this far, but any moment 208 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 5: these lions could turn on me. Animals can sense when 209 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 5: you're afraid. They know when you're scared of them. But 210 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 5: when you're calm, you have your shoulders back, you're confident. 211 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 5: They know you're the authority. We go hiking in the mountains, 212 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 5: sometimes they tell you, if you see a bear, don't 213 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 5: take off running, don't panic, don't lose your poise, be still, 214 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 5: be calm, carry yourself with a quiet confidence. In the 215 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 5: same way, when you face enemies in life, the enemy 216 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 5: of sickness, the enemy of addiction, the enemy of debt, 217 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 5: those enemies can sense when you're afraid of them. They'll 218 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 5: take more ground. That's why the scripture says, give no 219 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 5: place to the enemy. But when they see you standing strong, 220 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 5: thanking God, when you could be complaining, being good to people, 221 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 5: when you could be bitter at peace, when you could 222 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 5: be panic, you are sending a message to those enemies 223 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 5: that says loud and clear, you have no power over me. 224 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 5: You cannot stop me. My God is in control. And 225 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 5: if he before me, who dare be against me? I 226 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 5: can imagine Daniel, instead of worrying, he found a nice 227 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 5: soft piece of grass, laid down, fell asleep. Early the 228 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 5: next morning, the king came running out to the lions 229 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 5: den to see what happened. The scripture says he called 230 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 5: out in anguish Daniel, servant of the Living God, was 231 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 5: the God you constantly worship able to save you. Notice 232 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 5: how he addressed Daniel. Daniel was in there because he 233 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 5: was worshiping a different God, Yet the king called him 234 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 5: Daniel's son of the Living God. Even the king knew 235 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 5: some was different about Daniel. When he saw Daniel come 236 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 5: walking toward him, unharmed, passing the lions, the king couldn't 237 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 5: believe it. He was overjoyed. Verse twenty three says not 238 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 5: a scratch was found on Daniel because he trusted in 239 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 5: his God. Amazing things happen when you stay in faith 240 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 5: and trust God. God not only protected Daniel, but the 241 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 5: king ordered the men that conspired against Daniel to be arrested. 242 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 5: And thrown into the same lions den, but they didn't 243 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 5: have the same outcome. Before they hit the ground, the 244 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 5: hungry lions tore them apart. The king issued a new decree. 245 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 5: It said, from now on, everyone in my kingdom should 246 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 5: worship the God of Daniel. He rescues his people. He's 247 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 5: the living God. So here's the key. God doesn't deliver 248 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 5: us from every difficulty. Most of the time, he takes 249 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 5: us through the difficulty. Daniel's faith didn't keep him out 250 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 5: of the lion's den, but his faith did make him 251 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 5: lie in proof. That's what brought him out of the 252 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 5: lion's den. But if Daniel, if those teenagers had been worried, panic, negative, 253 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 5: maybe there would have been a different outcome. Maybe we 254 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 5: wouldn't be talking about them today. I'm asking you to 255 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 5: quit worrying about what you're facing. Quit losing sleep over 256 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 5: that child that's not doing right. Quit being upset because 257 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: somebody did you wrong. Your dream hasn't come to pass yet. 258 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 5: Can I tell you God's got this like he did 259 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 5: for Daniel, He's going to make a way where you 260 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 5: don't see away like you did for the Hebrew teenagers. 261 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 5: God's going to protect you favor you get you to 262 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: where you're supposed to be. David said, though I walk 263 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 5: through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 264 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 5: fear no evil. God is not just with you on 265 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 5: the mountaintops. He's with you in the valleys when you're 266 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 5: going through things. He knows what you're up against. The 267 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 5: scripture says God is concerned about what concerns you. A 268 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 5: sparrow doesn't fall to the ground without God knowing about it. 269 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 5: How much more is God concerned about what's happening in 270 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 5: your life? Trusting live from a place of peace. This 271 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 5: is a decision we have to make on a daily basis, 272 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 5: because every day there's something to worry about. There's some 273 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 5: reason to get upset all through the day. Keep this 274 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 5: phrase close to your heart. God's got this. He's concerned 275 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 5: about me. He's working in my life. He's bigger than 276 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 5: my enemies. He's lining up the right people, He's arranging 277 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 5: things in my favor. That attitude of faith is what 278 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 5: allows God to do amazing things. Four years ago, when 279 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 5: our son Jonathan was going off to college for his 280 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 5: freshman year. As parents, we were concerned about how it 281 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 5: was all going to work out. Would he meet the 282 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 5: right people. Would he get the right classes Because we 283 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 5: travel a lot. Our children were homeschooled, so he wasn't 284 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 5: going to college with a bunch of friends. He'd never 285 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 5: been in a large classroom setting. This particular college has 286 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 5: forty thousand students could have been overwhelming. But Victoria really 287 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 5: wanted him to meet somebody right at the start so 288 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 5: he could have a friend or two. And she was 289 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 5: up at the parents' orientation on campus. She met this 290 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 5: lady and found out that her son was in the 291 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 5: communications department like Jonathan. She seemed like a nice lady, 292 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 5: like great people. So Victoria texted Jonathan he was in 293 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 5: the student's orientation. It said, try to find a guy 294 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 5: named Charlie. I just met his mother. I think you'll 295 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 5: like him. 296 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 4: Well. 297 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 5: Jonathan read the text and thought, there are several thousand 298 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 5: people in communications, hundreds of this room alone. How could 299 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 5: I ever find him? The next session, Jonathan walked in 300 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 5: and sat down in a random chair. The room was 301 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 5: packed full of students. At one point, the instructor told 302 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 5: them to take a minute and meet somebody. Jonathan naturally 303 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 5: turned to the guy sitting right next to him out 304 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 5: of the corner of his eye on a notebook, he 305 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 5: could see a small name written at the bottom. It 306 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 5: said Charlie. He looked at him and said, I think 307 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 5: my mother texted me about you. Are you Charlie. He 308 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 5: looked puzzled and he said, yes, that means you must 309 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 5: be Jonathan. My mother texted me about you out of 310 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 5: thousands of students. It just so happened they were sitting 311 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 5: next to each other. You know what God was saying 312 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 5: to us as parents, I've got this, I'm in control. 313 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 5: I'm going to watch after your children. Jonathan and Charlie 314 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 5: became good friends, and recently they sat by each other 315 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 5: at school. One last time, as they graduated together, Charlie 316 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 5: told Jonathan, let's finish like we started side by side. 317 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 5: Are you worrying about your children, stressed out over your job, 318 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: discouraged because of a disappointment, thinking it's not going to 319 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 5: work out. Come back to that place of peace. God's 320 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 5: got this. He's directing your steps. He's bringing the right 321 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 5: people across your path and your children's path. He has 322 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 5: beauty for the ashes right now. He's working behind the 323 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 5: scenes in your life. Dare to trust him, dare to 324 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 5: believe when we worry we tie the hands of Almighty God, 325 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 5: and we all face situations that are bigger than us. 326 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 5: A bad medical report, you lost him, made your client 327 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 5: trouble in a relationship. It's easy to think of all 328 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 5: the reasons why it's not going to work out. That's 329 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 5: when you have to dig your heels in and switch 330 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 5: over into faith. No, God, I know you've got this. 331 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 5: Thank you for protecting my children, thank you for fighting 332 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 5: my battles, thank you for healing my bodies. When you're 333 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 5: tempted to worry, turn it around and thank God that 334 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 5: he's working. Daniel could have said, God, I was doing 335 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 5: the right thing, I was being my best. Why did 336 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 5: this happen to me? But sometimes God will allow difficult 337 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 5: situations just to prove to you that he's God. He 338 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 5: could have kept Daniel out of the lions den. He 339 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 5: could have stopped the Hebrew teenagers from going into the 340 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 5: fiery furnaces. But God allows these things to not only 341 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 5: show you, but to show others that he's God. When 342 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 5: David defeated Goliath, a giant twice his size, it wasn't 343 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 5: just so David could be promoted. So David could be honored. 344 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 5: That victory was a sign to the Philistines, a sign 345 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 5: to all of their enemies, even a sign to the 346 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 5: Israelites that God was in control, his hand of favor 347 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 5: and blessing was on them. Some of the battles God 348 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 5: allows in your life are not just about you. It's 349 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 5: to make a statement to the people around you. Nothing 350 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 5: speaks any louder than when people see the favor on 351 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 5: your life. When they see you overcoming obstacles that should 352 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 5: have held you back, defeating giants that were bigger, accomplishing 353 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 5: dreams where you didn't have the expertise, like the King 354 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 5: with Daniel. They will know you serve the true and 355 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 5: the Living God. Not only that, when God brings us 356 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 5: through the lion's dens, through the fiery furnaces. Those victories 357 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 5: are like fuel to feed your faith. When you face 358 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 5: other challenges, you'll know if God did it for me back, 359 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 5: then he'll do it for me again. Don't get discouraged 360 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 5: when you face things you don't understand, obstacles that are 361 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 5: bigger than you. That's simply an opportunity for God to 362 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 5: show you who he is. It's one thing to believe 363 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 5: that God has power, believe that he can do the impossible, 364 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 5: that's good. But God wants you to do more than 365 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 5: just believe. He wants you to experience his power. He's 366 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 5: going to show you his greatness, show you his favor. 367 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 5: David had all kinds of things come against him, not 368 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 5: just giants, armies, his own family. He had plenty of 369 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 5: reasons to live worried, afraid, bitter. But he said in 370 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 5: Psalm twenty seven, the Lord is my light and my salvation. 371 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 5: Whom shall I fear? The Lord protects me from danger. 372 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 5: Why should I afraid? When people come against me, they 373 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 5: will stumble and fall though a mighty army surrounds me. 374 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 5: My heart will know no fear. Even if they attack, 375 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 5: I will remain confident. David lived with this attitude. God's 376 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 5: got this. I'm not gonna be worried. I'm not gonna 377 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 5: live upset. I know He's bigger than any obstacle that 378 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 5: I'm facing, he said a little later, when trouble comes, 379 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 5: God will hide me. He will place me out of reach, 380 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 5: high on a rock. You may have enemies coming against you, 381 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 5: but you have an advantage. God has placed you out 382 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 5: of reach. They can't defeat you, they can't keep you 383 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 5: from your destiny. Now do like David, remain confident, keep 384 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 5: your peace. May feel like you're surrounded by an army. 385 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 5: The truth is you are surrounded by God's favor. The 386 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 5: forces that are for you are great than the forces 387 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 5: that are against you. David said, even if they attack, 388 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 5: I won't get upset. Sickness may have attacked you, Addictions 389 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 5: may have attacked, debt may have attacked. That's a test. 390 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 5: Are you going to get worried? Live in fear? What 391 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 5: if it doesn't work out? Did you see the medical report? 392 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 5: There are forty thousand students. What if he doesn't meet 393 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 5: the right people? Stay in peace, Remain confident. God's done 394 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 5: it for you in the past. He's going to do 395 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 5: it for you again in the future. In a few verses, 396 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 5: David said, I am confident I will see the goodness 397 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 5: of God. After all he had been through. You would 398 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 5: think he'd be negative, worried God where were you? He 399 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 5: was just the opposite. I know I'll see God's goodness. 400 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 5: In other words, I know God's got this. I talked 401 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 5: to a lady recently. She had been through a divorce. 402 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 5: She was carrying all the hurt and pain. She never 403 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 5: dreamed her life would turn out like it had, and 404 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 5: she was confused, discouraged, wondering why it had happened. One day, 405 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 5: while driving in her car, she felt God say to her, 406 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 5: I still have a good plan for your life. Let 407 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 5: go of the old I've got this. At that moment, 408 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 5: she made the decision to stop worrying, to stop being 409 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 5: down on herself. She let it go. All of a sudden, 410 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 5: She told how this heavy weight lifted off of her. 411 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 5: She got her joy back, her passion back. Now, new 412 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 5: doors are starting to open, new relationships, new opportunities. She's 413 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 5: starting to see the beauty for ashes. It all happened 414 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 5: when she changed her perspective. It's something weighing you down today. 415 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 5: Are you worried about a situation, frustrated by what didn't 416 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 5: work out, or maybe down on yourself because you're not 417 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 5: where you thought you would be. God is saying to 418 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 5: you what he said to her. I've got this. It's 419 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 5: not a surprise to me. I have new beginnings, I 420 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 5: have healing, I have breakthroughs. I'm asking you to change 421 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 5: your perspective, switch over into faith. That's situation at work 422 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 5: that you're worried about. God's got it. That medical report 423 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 5: that's keeping you up at night. Living stressed is not 424 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 5: making it any better. Be still and know that He 425 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 5: is God. He has you in the palm of his hand. 426 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 5: He's got this. And yes you may have enemies coming 427 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 5: against you, But like Daniel, God has placed you out 428 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 5: of reach. He's made you lie in proof. Now all 429 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 5: through the day, when you're tempted to worry, keep this 430 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 5: phrase playing in your mind. God's got this. If you'll 431 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 5: do this, I believe and declare You're going to see 432 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 5: God's goodness in new ways. You're going to come out 433 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 5: of the lion's dens, rise higher, accomplished dream and become 434 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 5: everything God's created you to be. In Jesus' name, if 435 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 5: you receive it, can you say him in today? I'd 436 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 5: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the 437 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 5: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 438 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 5: I'll repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 439 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 5: make you my Lord and savior.
