Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Faith That Outlives You: The Battle for Future Generations (Part 2) | April 30, 2026

God, i have a passion to build for you.
00:00:05.625 --> 00:00:07.260
I have a passion to move by faith. right?
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:09.462
You ever prayed that? god, i want to.
00:00:09.462 --> 00:00:10.830
I want to build this for you and god's like.
00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:12.965
Thank you,
00:00:12.965 --> 00:00:14.734
But it's not going to be you.
00:00:14.734 --> 00:00:15.835
Look at second samuel
00:00:15.835 --> 00:00:17.270
Chapter seven, verse one and two,
00:00:17.270 --> 00:00:18.504
And if you have your bibles, i'm going to be
00:00:18.504 --> 00:00:20.239
In a lot of different scriptures today.
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:21.741
So you just follow along with the stream.
00:00:21.741 --> 00:00:23.643
The second same in chapter seven, verse one and two states
00:00:23.643 --> 00:00:25.812
Says, when king david was settled in his palace
00:00:25.812 --> 00:00:29.682
And the lord had given him rest from all his surrounding
00:00:29.682 --> 00:00:32.618
Enemies, okay, the king summoned nathan the prophet.
00:00:32.618 --> 00:00:36.789
Look, david said, i am living in a.
00:00:36.789 --> 00:00:40.193
Beautiful cedar.
00:00:40.193 --> 00:00:41.928
Palace, but the ark of god is out there in a tent.
00:00:41.928 --> 00:00:46.799
Notice david's heart right there.
00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:49.969
Because you know what a lot of us would have done.
00:00:49.969 --> 00:00:51.771
To be honest with you,
00:00:51.771 --> 00:00:52.672
A lot of us would been like, all right.
00:00:52.672 --> 00:00:54.207
I made it.
00:00:54.207 --> 00:00:55.775
Got the house.
00:00:55.775 --> 00:00:57.076
I'm comfortable.
00:00:57.076 --> 00:00:58.344
I got peace around me.
00:00:58.344 --> 00:00:59.879
I beat my enemies down like everything is good.
00:00:59.879 --> 00:01:02.515
What more can i get for myself?
00:01:02.515 --> 00:01:04.450
No, david didn't say, hey, my life is good.
00:01:04.450 --> 00:01:07.120
He said, what can i build for god?
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.224
Notice, because there's a temptation and comfort.
00:01:12.225 --> 00:01:15.461
This is temptation in reaching goals
00:01:15.461 --> 00:01:17.163
And achievements in your life.
00:01:17.163 --> 00:01:18.564
Once you think you arrived, listen.
00:01:18.564 --> 00:01:20.500
That's where the comfort of temptation
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:22.001
Really comes into your mind.
00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:23.035
You no longer build for the kingdom of god.
00:01:23.035 --> 00:01:24.704
David looks at his life and he says, all right,
00:01:24.704 --> 00:01:26.839
God has given me all of this.
00:01:26.839 --> 00:01:29.842
Everything that i have.
00:01:29.842 --> 00:01:30.710
But yet god's presence is in a tent.
00:01:30.710 --> 00:01:33.279
I gotta do something for him.
00:01:33.279 --> 00:01:35.348
I got to put him first.
00:01:35.348 --> 00:01:36.883
I got to build. he had passion.
00:01:36.883 --> 00:01:39.919
But what he heard from the lord, he never expected.
00:01:39.919 --> 00:01:42.655
First chronicles 17 three and for that same night
00:01:42.655 --> 00:01:45.992
God said to nathan, go and tell my servant david,
00:01:45.992 --> 00:01:50.163
This is what the lord has declared.
00:01:50.163 --> 00:01:51.664
You are not the one to build a house for me to live in.
00:01:51.664 --> 00:01:55.501
Well that's weird,
00:01:55.935 --> 00:01:57.703
The reason why i won't take a second to look at this.
00:01:57.703 --> 00:01:59.872
Because this one.
00:01:59.872 --> 00:02:00.606
We get into our fields, right?
00:02:00.606 --> 00:02:03.843
What do you mean?
00:02:03.843 --> 00:02:04.844
God got to have a passion to build for you.
00:02:04.844 --> 00:02:07.079
I have a passion to move by faith, right?
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.282
You ever prayed that? god, i want to.
00:02:09.282 --> 00:02:10.650
I want to build this for you and god's like.
00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:12.785
Thank you.
00:02:12.785 --> 00:02:14.554
But it's not going to be you.
00:02:14.554 --> 00:02:17.723
Like, really think about it.
00:02:17.723 --> 00:02:18.758
Like what?
00:02:18.758 --> 00:02:19.692
What do you mean? like, what do you mean?
00:02:19.692 --> 00:02:20.326
I have this at this goal,
00:02:20.326 --> 00:02:22.128
I don't know, you're going to make preparations,
00:02:22.128 --> 00:02:24.764
You're going to put things in order,
00:02:24.764 --> 00:02:26.232
But it's not going to be you.
00:02:26.866 --> 00:02:29.001
You okay with that?
00:02:29.001 --> 00:02:30.903
See, what i want to show you in
00:02:30.903 --> 00:02:32.004
Scripture is that david had an assignment.
00:02:32.004 --> 00:02:35.241
Solomon had an assignment.
00:02:35.241 --> 00:02:36.609
They were different,
00:02:36.609 --> 00:02:38.578
But it all worked out.
00:02:38.578 --> 00:02:39.579
God's perfect plan.
00:02:39.579 --> 00:02:41.614
Don't be jealous over somebody else's assignment.
00:02:41.614 --> 00:02:44.684
Maybe you start the work. you may not finish it.
00:02:44.684 --> 00:02:46.719
That's okay.
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:47.720
You planted something in the ground.
00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:49.722
You set a firm foundation.
00:02:49.722 --> 00:02:51.824
That's what david needs to here.
00:02:51.824 --> 00:02:53.893
Because we see this answer as david explains it to solomon
00:02:53.893 --> 00:02:56.762
In chronicles first chronicles 20 262 ten,
00:02:56.762 --> 00:03:00.933
David sent for his son solomon, instructed him
00:03:00.933 --> 00:03:03.169
To build a temple for the lord, the god of israel.
00:03:03.169 --> 00:03:06.105
He said, my son, i wanted to build a temple
00:03:06.105 --> 00:03:08.074
To honor the name of the lord my god. david told him.
00:03:08.074 --> 00:03:10.743
But the lord said to me, you have killed
00:03:10.743 --> 00:03:13.980
Too many men in the battles that you have fought.
00:03:13.980 --> 00:03:16.782
And since you have shed so.
00:03:16.782 --> 00:03:18.751
Much blood.
00:03:18.751 --> 00:03:19.452
In my sight,
00:03:19.452 --> 00:03:20.620
You will not be able to be the one to build the temple.
00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:25.091
It wasn't that
00:03:25.424 --> 00:03:26.559
David sent in the fight because he was called to battle.
00:03:26.559 --> 00:03:30.062
This was his assignment.
00:03:30.062 --> 00:03:32.398
But god is declaring, listen to this,
00:03:32.398 --> 00:03:34.033
He said,
00:03:34.033 --> 00:03:35.134
But you will have a son. he will be a man of peace.
00:03:35.134 --> 00:03:37.003
Solomon is going to build my temple.
00:03:37.003 --> 00:03:39.672
Why, solomon?
00:03:39.672 --> 00:03:40.873
Because the house of the lord would be a house of peace,
00:03:40.873 --> 00:03:44.977
A house of comfort.
00:03:45.444 --> 00:03:47.246
It would become a sanctuary for many
00:03:47.246 --> 00:03:49.682
That are running from their lives.
00:03:49.682 --> 00:03:51.317
They need a place of comfort.
00:03:51.317 --> 00:03:52.752
This is the spirit of the lord.
00:03:52.752 --> 00:03:55.921
So that's why god is telling david.
00:03:55.921 --> 00:03:57.823
This is why david is telling solomon his son.
00:03:57.823 --> 00:04:01.093
He said, listen, i'm not going to be in my feelings about this.
00:04:01.093 --> 00:04:03.529
I'm going to start the good work.
00:04:03.529 --> 00:04:05.798
I'm going to prepare.
00:04:05.798 --> 00:04:07.566
I'm going to build for the future generations to come.
00:04:07.566 --> 00:04:11.837
I'm gonna make it impact.
00:04:12.405 --> 00:04:15.174
You know what i love about that?
00:04:15.174 --> 00:04:18.144
A lot of us would love to build
00:04:18.144 --> 00:04:21.514
Or even give or create something,
00:04:21.514 --> 00:04:25.151
Because the flesh in us wants the credit for it.
00:04:25.151 --> 00:04:29.322
David said.
00:04:29.655 --> 00:04:30.489
I don't need any credit for this.
00:04:30.489 --> 00:04:32.925
God is just good and i want to give it all to him.
00:04:32.925 --> 00:04:36.529
I want to build what he has called me to build it.
00:04:36.529 --> 00:04:38.364
And so he believe god for a future
00:04:38.364 --> 00:04:40.900
That he would never step in to physically think about that
00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:44.070
He started preparations, but he physically
00:04:44.970 --> 00:04:47.973
Would never be able to step into
00:04:47.973 --> 00:04:51.510
This temple of the lord
00:04:52.011 --> 00:04:54.780
And look what he did.
00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:55.581
The first chronicles chapter 2225
00:04:55.581 --> 00:04:58.117
David gave orders to call together
00:04:58.117 --> 00:04:59.685
The foreigners living in israel,
00:04:59.685 --> 00:05:01.320
And he assigned this with task preparing
00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:03.622
Finish stone for the building of the temple of god.
00:05:03.622 --> 00:05:06.225
He provided large amounts of iron
00:05:06.225 --> 00:05:07.893
For the nails that needed the doors.
00:05:07.893 --> 00:05:09.362
He provided all these things. now listen to this.
00:05:09.362 --> 00:05:11.430
The people also even brought great cedar to david.
00:05:11.430 --> 00:05:14.400
Everybody's giving, everybody's providing.
00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:17.903
When god tells you to do something and there are needs,
00:05:18.971 --> 00:05:21.507
God sends the right people at the right time.
00:05:21.507 --> 00:05:24.510
God is in control of that.
00:05:24.510 --> 00:05:25.745
You just walk by obedience.
00:05:25.745 --> 00:05:27.446
And so all these things start coming together.
00:05:27.446 --> 00:05:29.281
He's he's creating preparations
00:05:29.281 --> 00:05:31.150
To build something he's never going to. step foot in.
00:05:31.150 --> 00:05:33.519
But listen to this. here's his heart.
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.588
David said, my son solomon is still young and inexperienced,
00:05:35.588 --> 00:05:41.293
And since the temple to be built for the lord
00:05:41.293 --> 00:05:43.696
Must be a magnificent structure, famous and glorious
00:05:43.696 --> 00:05:46.932
Throughout the world, i will begin
00:05:46.932 --> 00:05:49.034
Making preparations for it now, but listen to the last part.
00:05:49.034 --> 00:05:53.005
David collected vast
00:05:53.005 --> 00:05:54.073
Amounts of building materials before his way.
00:05:54.073 --> 00:06:00.112
He's on his deathbed,
00:06:00.613 --> 00:06:04.116
And he's still not giving up on building for the lord.
00:06:04.116 --> 00:06:08.354
His mission is to
00:06:08.788 --> 00:06:09.989
Build for the kingdom of god.
00:06:09.989 --> 00:06:13.392
That's his mission.
00:06:13.859 --> 00:06:14.827
That should always be our mission.
00:06:14.827 --> 00:06:17.830
Not for credit,
00:06:17.830 --> 00:06:19.465
Not to say, hey, look at us and look what we got.
00:06:19.465 --> 00:06:21.300
No, no, no, it all came from god.
00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:23.202
Give it to him
00:06:23.202 --> 00:06:25.438
To impact the future generations to come. why?
00:06:25.438 --> 00:06:28.340
Because the enemy, the devil, is after our.
00:06:28.340 --> 00:06:30.509
Children more than ever within our culture.
00:06:30.509 --> 00:06:33.379
Confusing identity.
00:06:33.379 --> 00:06:35.147
Who they are, where they're going in life.
00:06:35.147 --> 00:06:37.983
Jesus showed us there's a better way.
00:06:37.983 --> 00:06:39.718
We got to teach our children this and we got to stand firm.
00:06:39.718 --> 00:06:42.888
And it's time to make moves.
00:06:42.888 --> 00:06:43.956
It's time to make a big impact.
00:06:43.956 --> 00:06:45.558
Imagine what we could see
00:06:45.558 --> 00:06:46.759
If we just believe god for the impossible together.
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.862
And last week i told you that this year
00:06:50.729 --> 00:06:53.365
We're able to give back more than we ever have as a church
00:06:53.365 --> 00:06:57.736
Back in the hickory, north carolina and beyond.
00:06:57.736 --> 00:07:00.940
And so, i want to do something special right here.
00:07:00.940 --> 00:07:03.442
Pastor jesse, where you stand? right here, buddy?

I have you stand right here.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.714

00:07:23.929 --> 00:07:27.733
I want to commend you for the passion
00:07:27.733 --> 00:07:31.170
And the level of obedience
00:07:31.170 --> 00:07:32.605
That god has placed on your heart,
00:07:32.605 --> 00:07:33.772
Because i know it hasn't been easy,
00:07:33.772 --> 00:07:36.075
But look at all the impact that's taking place.
00:07:36.075 --> 00:07:38.077
Here's what i believe.
00:07:38.077 --> 00:07:38.677
I believe more is coming.
00:07:38.677 --> 00:07:41.780
And i believe that everything that you need, god
00:07:41.780 --> 00:07:43.382
Will provide it in the right time.
00:07:43.382 --> 00:07:45.551
Don't stress,
00:07:45.918 --> 00:07:47.653
Don't lose sleep over it ever.
00:07:47.653 --> 00:07:51.056
God is doing it even while you rest.
00:07:51.056 --> 00:07:53.792
And today, our largest giving ever.
00:07:53.792 --> 00:07:56.829
We're giving your ministry $40,000.
00:07:56.829 --> 00:08:00.466
Let me brother.
00:08:00.833 --> 00:08:05.004
Thank you so much.
00:08:05.437 --> 00:08:06.605
For that course. 40.
00:08:06.605 --> 00:08:10.843
$40,000.
00:08:11.110 --> 00:08:13.812
And, this is actually going to provide a truckload
00:08:13.812 --> 00:08:16.482
Of ever believe, 50,000 pounds of food
00:08:16.482 --> 00:08:20.152
And what they do to help struggling with people
00:08:21.086 --> 00:08:23.455
With utility bills and and clothes
00:08:23.455 --> 00:08:25.491
And it's it's amazing what you guys are doing.
00:08:25.491 --> 00:08:27.493
And we felt that from the lord.
00:08:27.493 --> 00:08:29.094
We believe in you guys.
00:08:29.094 --> 00:08:31.130
And so we're giving back back into the community.
00:08:31.130 --> 00:08:33.232
And so overall listen to this.
00:08:33.232 --> 00:08:34.867
I said we've we give back more than ever this year.
00:08:34.867 --> 00:08:37.069
We've been able to give back $200,000 back in the hickory
00:08:37.069 --> 00:08:41.707
And to the organizations.
00:08:42.274 --> 00:08:44.109
And you know what?
00:08:44.109 --> 00:08:45.144
I'm believe it's going to get bigger every year.
00:08:45.144 --> 00:08:46.612
So let's stay friends okay?
00:08:46.612 --> 00:08:48.213
Let's get.
00:08:48.213 --> 00:08:50.249
But i do believe that i believe is going to get bigger
00:08:50.249 --> 00:08:52.117
Every single year.
00:08:52.117 --> 00:08:53.118
So we build future generations.
00:08:53.118 --> 00:08:56.155
We impact for the kingdom of god.
00:08:56.155 --> 00:08:57.923
It's not about us getting credit.
00:08:57.923 --> 00:08:59.992
It's all about the lord and what he's doing to fight
00:08:59.992 --> 00:09:02.027
The devil and the spiritual warfare.
00:09:02.027 --> 00:09:03.195
But okay, my, my my last point is this
00:09:03.195 --> 00:09:06.832
How do you keep building when hell fights back?
00:09:06.832 --> 00:09:10.202
Okay, so you're going to notice something in your life
00:09:10.202 --> 00:09:12.171
While you're praying.
00:09:12.171 --> 00:09:13.472
Maybe no opposition
00:09:13.472 --> 00:09:15.207
While you're burdened with it, maybe no opposition.
00:09:15.207 --> 00:09:17.843
But the moment you step out by faith and start to move
00:09:17.843 --> 00:09:20.713
By faith, guess what?
00:09:20.713 --> 00:09:22.815
Opposition.
00:09:23.148 --> 00:09:24.483
This is why i love nehemiah's story so very quickly.
00:09:24.483 --> 00:09:28.120
And nehemiah's story.
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.188
He proves that spiritual warfare intensifies
00:09:29.188 --> 00:09:32.124
With spiritual construction.
00:09:32.124 --> 00:09:34.526
Please hear me on that.
00:09:34.526 --> 00:09:35.995
Spiritual warfare intensifies
00:09:35.995 --> 00:09:38.631
With spiritual construction at this point
00:09:38.631 --> 00:09:41.634
In his life, jerusalem has been destroyed for decades,
00:09:41.634 --> 00:09:44.903
Right?
00:09:45.104 --> 00:09:45.738
Due to babylon in 586 bc.
00:09:45.738 --> 00:09:48.073
Now persia is ruling over the babylonian region,
00:09:48.073 --> 00:09:50.976
And this is about a thousand miles away from jerusalem.
00:09:50.976 --> 00:09:53.278
And nehemiah's family decided to stay in persia.
00:09:53.278 --> 00:09:56.115
Many jews have gone back now,
00:09:56.115 --> 00:09:58.484
But he decided to stay in persia.
00:09:58.484 --> 00:09:59.852
He's the cupbearer in the palace.
00:09:59.852 --> 00:10:02.955
Okay, and here's the thing about the story.
00:10:02.955 --> 00:10:05.391
I think this unique is that it's by no accident
00:10:05.391 --> 00:10:09.094
That he's the cupbearer in the palace.
00:10:09.094 --> 00:10:12.131
Sometimes we overlook the position that we have,
00:10:12.131 --> 00:10:15.200
And we don't know that it's
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.301
Going to make a big difference later on down the road,
00:10:16.301 --> 00:10:18.103
Because the cupbearer would talk to the king
00:10:18.103 --> 00:10:20.005
And ask things that nobody else could ask.
00:10:20.005 --> 00:10:22.274
Once he hears about jerusalem's wall being torn down
00:10:22.274 --> 00:10:24.810
And and in shambles, he's completely broken hearted.
00:10:24.810 --> 00:10:28.614
And he asked the king for permission to go.
00:10:28.614 --> 00:10:30.315
To build, to be the project. manager over this.
00:10:30.315 --> 00:10:33.018
And the king grants him that wish and says, go ahead and go.
00:10:33.018 --> 00:10:35.888
I'll supply all your needs.
00:10:35.888 --> 00:10:37.056
But as he moves, i want you to see how spiritual.
00:10:37.056 --> 00:10:41.527
Warfare takes place.
00:10:41.527 --> 00:10:42.761
When you're about to build something
00:10:42.761 --> 00:10:44.930
And there's a movement of god happening, the first thing
00:10:44.930 --> 00:10:48.400
Is this mockery and intimidation came
00:10:48.400 --> 00:10:51.937
Mockery and intimidation.
00:10:52.504 --> 00:10:54.673
Nehemiah chapter two, verse 18.
00:10:54.673 --> 00:10:57.342
Then i told them
00:10:57.342 --> 00:10:58.410
About how gracious the hand of god had been on me,
00:10:58.410 --> 00:11:01.447
And about my conversation with the king.
00:11:01.447 --> 00:11:03.882
And they replied to me, now listen to the people here.
00:11:03.882 --> 00:11:06.118
Yes, let's rebuild the wall.
00:11:06.118 --> 00:11:08.187
So they began.
00:11:08.187 --> 00:11:09.021
They were a good work.
00:11:09.021 --> 00:11:11.523
They began a good work. but listen to this.
00:11:11.523 --> 00:11:13.358
But then send ballot of hornet.
00:11:13.358 --> 00:11:15.194
The hornet, tobiah
00:11:15.194 --> 00:11:17.429
The ammonite official and guess some the arab heard of it.
00:11:17.429 --> 00:11:20.766
And what did they do?
00:11:20.766 --> 00:11:22.468
They laughed.
00:11:22.468 --> 00:11:25.337
You know what the enemy's going to do
00:11:24.470 --> 00:11:26.305
When you say you believe the impossible? ha!
00:11:26.305 --> 00:11:29.041
The first thing that he's going to do is.
00:11:29.041 --> 00:11:30.509
Laugh at you.
00:11:30.509 --> 00:11:32.077
The first thing he's going to do is mock you.
00:11:32.077 --> 00:11:33.912
Are you sure you believe that
00:11:33.912 --> 00:11:35.414
God can use you to do something like this?
00:11:35.414 --> 00:11:39.685
Then those false accusations are you doing is against the king.
00:11:39.685 --> 00:11:42.654
You just want the credit.
00:11:42.654 --> 00:11:44.923
You want people to follow you.
00:11:44.923 --> 00:11:46.091
You know how nehemiah replied, verse 20,
00:11:46.091 --> 00:11:49.128
This is how we should reply to these things.
00:11:49.128 --> 00:11:51.764
So i answered them, and i said, you know what?
00:11:51.764 --> 00:11:53.365
The god of heaven himself, a prosperous
00:11:53.365 --> 00:11:56.702
I don't need to convince you god is with us.
00:11:56.702 --> 00:11:59.838
God chose us.
00:11:59.838 --> 00:12:01.006
God will provide for this and we will follow the lord.
00:12:01.006 --> 00:12:03.375
Therefore we are his servants. now.
00:12:03.375 --> 00:12:07.679
We will arise and build.
00:12:08.213 --> 00:12:11.817
That hits me deep,
00:12:12.251 --> 00:12:13.185
Because in the preparation of this sermon.
00:12:13.185 --> 00:12:17.990
For me to see that
00:12:18.423 --> 00:12:19.424
That phrase twice means a lot.
00:12:19.424 --> 00:12:22.895
Two different ways at different times.
00:12:23.729 --> 00:12:26.231
The preparation over the sermon,
00:12:26.231 --> 00:12:28.767
The phrase arise and build.
00:12:28.767 --> 00:12:32.070
Because i
00:12:32.371 --> 00:12:33.305
Believe that god is giving us this command.
00:12:33.305 --> 00:12:36.475
But he says, the lord chose us, and the lord will lead us.
00:12:36.475 --> 00:12:39.077
Mockery is always the devil's first weapon
00:12:39.077 --> 00:12:42.915
When you believe god for the impossible.
00:12:42.915 --> 00:12:44.416
The second thing is this
00:12:44.416 --> 00:12:46.618
Exhaustion and threats will come.
00:12:46.618 --> 00:12:49.588
You're going to be tired
00:12:49.588 --> 00:12:51.790
And notice when you're physically tired.
00:12:51.790 --> 00:12:53.125
That's when the devil attacks.
00:12:53.125 --> 00:12:54.793
Like when you're mentally drained
00:12:54.793 --> 00:12:55.994
And you're like, god, i don't have it in me anymore.
00:12:55.994 --> 00:12:57.996
It's like
00:12:57.996 --> 00:12:59.264
If one person pops off again, i think i'm going to lose it.
00:12:59.264 --> 00:13:01.433
That's when the devil attacks nehemiah chapter four, verse
00:13:01.433 --> 00:13:04.403
Ten. then the people of judah began to complain.
00:13:04.403 --> 00:13:07.606
The workers were getting tired
00:13:07.606 --> 00:13:09.441
And there was so much rubble to be moved.
00:13:09.441 --> 00:13:12.077
We will never be able to listen to how they start speaking.
00:13:12.077 --> 00:13:14.479
We will never be able to move or build the wall by ourselves.
00:13:14.479 --> 00:13:18.984
Meanwhile, our enemies were saying,
00:13:18.984 --> 00:13:21.286
Before they know what's happening,
00:13:21.286 --> 00:13:23.155
We will swoop down and we will hurt them.
00:13:23.155 --> 00:13:25.257
We will kill them and we will end their work.
00:13:25.257 --> 00:13:27.759
The spirit of fear is loud and always threatening,
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:31.563
But it's a lot of bark and no bite.
00:13:31.563 --> 00:13:33.599
Why? because god is on your side.
00:13:34.333 --> 00:13:36.735
And again, demons beg in the presence of jesus.
00:13:36.735 --> 00:13:42.174
And so listen to how nehemiah replies.
00:13:42.174 --> 00:13:43.876
In verses 14 to 16, i called together the nobles
00:13:43.876 --> 00:13:47.112
And the rest of the people and said to them, do.
00:13:47.112 --> 00:13:48.914
Not be afraid of the enemy.
00:13:48.914 --> 00:13:52.117
Do not be afraid.
00:13:52.551 --> 00:13:54.219
Remember the lord, you have forgotten to fear god.
00:13:54.219 --> 00:13:57.890
You have forgotten that it's worse
00:13:58.624 --> 00:14:00.359
To be disobedient against the lord.
00:14:00.359 --> 00:14:02.794
Than the enemy surrounding us.
00:14:02.794 --> 00:14:04.796
Don't be afraid of the enemy.
00:14:04.796 --> 00:14:05.964
Remember the lord who was great and glorious, and fight.
00:14:05.964 --> 00:14:08.734
Now listen to this fight for your brothers.
00:14:08.734 --> 00:14:10.636
Fight for the next generation. fight for your.
00:14:10.636 --> 00:14:12.504
Sons, fight for your daughters, fight for your.
00:14:12.504 --> 00:14:14.606
Families
00:14:14.606 --> 00:14:17.175
Because the enemy would love to overtake you.
00:14:17.175 --> 00:14:19.811
And then listen to this.
00:14:20.345 --> 00:14:22.915
When our enemies heard and knew our plans
00:14:22.915 --> 00:14:26.618
And that god had frustrated them,
00:14:26.618 --> 00:14:28.687
We all returned to our work on the wall.
00:14:28.687 --> 00:14:30.956
But from then
00:14:30.956 --> 00:14:32.224
On, only half the men worked, while the other half stood guard
00:14:32.224 --> 00:14:34.559
With spears.
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.560
They were ready to go.
00:14:35.560 --> 00:14:40.399
As a godly man,
00:14:40.766 --> 00:14:42.935
There are times that the bible
00:14:42.935 --> 00:14:45.370
That the lord asked us to be humble,
00:14:45.370 --> 00:14:49.141
Caring and gentle, but also as a godly man.
00:14:49.141 --> 00:14:52.778
There are times at the bible
00:14:52.778 --> 00:14:53.845
Where god says, stand firm and stand strong,
00:14:53.845 --> 00:14:57.182
Be strong and protect.
00:14:57.649 --> 00:15:00.752
And so as they build, as they exhaust themselves,
00:15:00.752 --> 00:15:04.089
They're also men.
00:15:04.523 --> 00:15:05.757
They're risking their lives, ready to fight to protect those
00:15:05.757 --> 00:15:09.695
Who are building with the lord has called them to build.
00:15:09.695 --> 00:15:12.731
Then in the end,
00:15:12.731 --> 00:15:14.032
There was a false prophecy being spoken, manipulation.
00:15:14.032 --> 00:15:18.036
And then there was a setup.
00:15:18.036 --> 00:15:20.172
There was a setup to compete with them.
00:15:20.172 --> 00:15:21.773
Nehemiah six two and three.
00:15:21.773 --> 00:15:23.742
So same ballot of gershom sent a message asking me
00:15:23.742 --> 00:15:27.145
To meet them at one of the villages, the plain of oh no!
00:15:27.145 --> 00:15:31.183
Anybody ask you to go to?
00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:32.751
Oh no. just be like, oh no. like
00:15:32.751 --> 00:15:35.487
I your left. did i thank you?
00:15:35.487 --> 00:15:37.322
All right.
00:15:37.322 --> 00:15:38.390
But listen to this.
00:15:38.390 --> 00:15:39.458
But i realized that they were plotting to harm me.
00:15:39.458 --> 00:15:42.594
So i replied by sending this message.
00:15:42.594 --> 00:15:44.730
To them, i love. this.
00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:45.864
I am engaged in a great work, so why can't come?
00:15:45.864 --> 00:15:49.701
Why should i stop working for the.
00:15:49.701 --> 00:15:51.870
Lord to come meet with you?
00:15:51.870 --> 00:15:54.906
Not every invitation is of the lord,
00:15:55.674 --> 00:15:59.177
That every invitation
00:15:59.177 --> 00:16:01.813
Is from god.
00:16:01.813 --> 00:16:03.982
You know what i love?
00:16:03.982 --> 00:16:05.250
Look at all these things, and i know coming over it quickly
00:16:05.250 --> 00:16:08.153
The attacks that they face.
00:16:08.153 --> 00:16:09.321
But did you know that they rebuilt the wall in 52 days,
00:16:09.321 --> 00:16:13.558
52 days?
00:16:13.825 --> 00:16:14.826
They rebuilt it.
00:16:14.826 --> 00:16:16.728
The enemy threw everything that he had at them.
00:16:16.728 --> 00:16:19.965
But still, in 52 days,
00:16:20.432 --> 00:16:22.267
The enemy could not stop the movement of god.
00:16:22.267 --> 00:16:26.071
That's what happens
00:16:26.538 --> 00:16:27.439
When you believe god for the impossible.
00:16:27.439 --> 00:16:29.775
That's what happens when you move by faith.
00:16:29.775 --> 00:16:31.276
That's what happens when you all work together.
00:16:31.276 --> 00:16:33.011
That's what happens when you don't care to get the credit.
00:16:33.011 --> 00:16:34.913
That's what happens when you put god first over everything.
00:16:34.913 --> 00:16:38.617
Just 52 days,
00:16:38.984 --> 00:16:42.020
The wall was built, a mansion.
00:16:42.020 --> 00:16:45.424
Imagine what we could see built for the kingdom.
00:16:45.424 --> 00:16:48.794
If we have the faith, like david
00:16:49.428 --> 00:16:51.963
And the determination of nehemiah.
00:16:51.963 --> 00:16:55.901
And so again, we're not just building a building.
00:16:55.901 --> 00:16:57.502
We're building a legacy for the future generations.
00:16:57.502 --> 00:17:01.573
And i believe that this is our first chronicles, chapter 22.
00:17:01.573 --> 00:17:04.543
Mom, arise
00:17:04.543 --> 00:17:08.080
And build.
00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:10.482
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:17:10.482 --> 00:17:12.884
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:17:12.884 --> 00:17:16.621
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:17:16.621 --> 00:17:19.157
It's not by mistake.
00:17:19.157 --> 00:17:20.625
You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
00:17:20.625 --> 00:17:24.529
And listen, if you love this church
00:17:24.529 --> 00:17:26.698
And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
00:17:26.698 --> 00:17:29.568
Is visit our website at bobby chandler ministries.com.
00:17:29.568 --> 00:17:33.472
And it's very easy to give.
00:17:33.472 --> 00:17:35.006
And once you give, listen, you're helping change lives.
00:17:35.006 --> 00:17:38.610
Because of your faithful giving.
00:17:38.610 --> 00:17:40.545
We're able to reach not only the nation, but the world.
00:17:40.545 --> 00:17:44.282
We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
00:17:44.282 --> 00:17:46.751
Into everyone's home as much as we can,
00:17:46.751 --> 00:17:50.155
So that they know the love of god.
00:17:50.155 --> 00:17:53.158
And listen.
00:17:53.158 --> 00:17:54.292
If you want to hear more sermons as well, don't forget
00:17:54.292 --> 00:17:56.094
You can join us live every sunday, 815, 10:00, and 1145.
00:17:56.094 --> 00:18:01.433
So thank you for watching today
00:18:01.433 --> 00:18:03.768
And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
00:18:03.768 --> 00:18:06.738
All right, before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
00:18:06.738 --> 00:18:09.307
And this one's a big one.
00:18:09.307 --> 00:18:10.475
Okay.
00:18:10.475 --> 00:18:10.842
This year
00:18:10.842 --> 00:18:11.643
We held
00:18:11.643 --> 00:18:12.844
Our very first awaken conference in hickory, north carolina
00:18:12.844 --> 00:18:15.947
For authentic church.
00:18:15.947 --> 00:18:17.149
And we saw
00:18:17.149 --> 00:18:18.316
People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
00:18:18.316 --> 00:18:22.187
And even outside of the country
00:18:22.187 --> 00:18:23.922
To experience what god is doing here.
00:18:23.922 --> 00:18:26.158
So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
00:18:26.158 --> 00:18:31.563
We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
00:18:31.563 --> 00:18:34.366
And if you want to look into more details
00:18:34.366 --> 00:18:36.735
Over the conference,
00:18:36.735 --> 00:18:37.702
All you have to do is click the link below.
00:18:37.702 --> 00:18:39.471
In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did
00:18:39.471 --> 00:18:44.543
For. me?
00:18:44.809 --> 00:19:07.399
And the
00:19:07.632 --> 00:19:08.433
Reason i even bring it up tonight
00:19:08.433 --> 00:19:11.369
Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:16.141
The gospel message is all about
00:19:16.141 --> 00:19:19.077
Your understanding of the message about the man
00:19:19.077 --> 00:19:23.381
Who will inform your methods of getting to know the man.
00:19:23.381 --> 00:19:46.638
And me.
00:19:46.871 --> 00:19:56.381
If this job doesn't work out for me, what if i move
00:19:57.415 --> 00:20:00.952
My life by faith and it all just crumbles to the ground?
00:20:00.952 --> 00:20:05.123
What if it works?
00:20:05.123 --> 00:20:06.458
What if god shows up.
00:20:06.458 --> 00:20:07.592
And changes your life forever?
00:20:07.592 --> 00:20:09.394
But i would rather move by faith
00:20:09.394 --> 00:20:11.196
And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
00:20:11.196 --> 00:20:15.066
And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
00:20:15.066 --> 00:20:47.799
You know what?
00:20:48.133 --> 00:20:48.566
Today is
00:20:48.566 --> 00:20:50.201
Pentecost sunday,
00:20:50.201 --> 00:20:53.371
Pentecost sunday.
00:20:53.805 --> 00:20:56.975
Woo! you better
00:20:57.342 --> 00:20:59.411
Not ask the holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:20:59.411 --> 00:21:03.148
I came here to remind you
00:21:03.715 --> 00:21:05.483
You need the holy spirit.
00:21:05.483 --> 00:21:40.085
You need.
00:21:40.385 --> 00:21:40.385
