00:00:33.412 --> 00:00:38.417
- A story that's reallyencouraged me this year is found
00:00:39.818 --> 00:00:43.322
in Daniel 3, where we learnfrom these three teenagers,
00:00:43.322 --> 00:00:45.891
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
00:00:45.891 --> 00:00:48.093
And I love this story becausethey had so much faith
00:00:48.093 --> 00:00:51.797
that they did notbow down to a statue
00:00:51.797 --> 00:00:54.700
that everyone elsewas bowing down to.
00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:56.702
They had faith inthe one, true God.
00:00:56.702 --> 00:00:59.004
And even though that meantthat they would be thrown
00:00:59.004 --> 00:01:01.406
into the fire if they didnot bow to this statue
00:01:01.406 --> 00:01:03.909
and they maintained theirfaith in the one, true God.
00:01:03.909 --> 00:01:06.612
They said this powerfulthing to the leader,
00:01:06.612 --> 00:01:09.414
the King Nebuchadnezzarwho was telling them,
00:01:09.414 --> 00:01:11.016
"You gotta bow."
00:01:11.016 --> 00:01:12.518
They said, "We know that Godcan rescue us from this fire.
00:01:12.518 --> 00:01:16.021
But even if He doesn't,we're still not gonna bow."
00:01:16.021 --> 00:01:19.291
And I love that kind of faith,
00:01:19.291 --> 00:01:20.993
and there's been times this year
00:01:20.993 --> 00:01:22.494
where I just did nothave it, but I wanted it.
00:01:22.494 --> 00:01:25.297
I wanted that kind offaith that would say,
00:01:25.297 --> 00:01:26.899
"God, even if you don'topen up this opportunity,
00:01:26.899 --> 00:01:29.401
I will still not bowdown to anxiety and fear.
00:01:29.401 --> 00:01:32.404
God, even if you donot open the door
00:01:32.404 --> 00:01:34.506
that I'm praying that youopen, I will still not bow down
00:01:34.506 --> 00:01:36.808
to my old addictionsor my old mentalities.
00:01:36.808 --> 00:01:38.911
God, even if you do notset me free from this pain
00:01:38.911 --> 00:01:43.015
that I'm feeling right now, Iknow that you are still good,
00:01:43.015 --> 00:01:46.018
that my identityis not in my stuff.
00:01:46.018 --> 00:01:47.920
My identity's notin my circumstances,
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.521
but my identityis in you alone."
00:01:49.521 --> 00:01:51.490
And I think for many ofus in this year, in 2020,
00:01:51.490 --> 00:01:54.593
we have felt this feeling of,God, would you have saved me
00:01:54.593 --> 00:01:57.196
before the fire? (laughs)
00:01:57.196 --> 00:01:58.997
Would you save mebefore trials ever come?
00:01:58.997 --> 00:02:02.000
And we see in this story
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.702
that God doesn't savethem before the fire.
00:02:03.702 --> 00:02:07.005
Instead, they arethrown into the fire.
00:02:07.005 --> 00:02:11.109
And when King Nebuchadnezzarlooks to see what's happening
00:02:11.109 --> 00:02:14.213
in the fire, there's notjust three guys anymore.
00:02:14.213 --> 00:02:17.015
There's four.
00:02:17.015 --> 00:02:18.417
And the comfort I find in thatis, that at the very least
00:02:18.417 --> 00:02:21.920
when I have faith in who Godis, not just what God does
00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:24.890
or what he can do forme in this moment,
00:02:24.890 --> 00:02:27.092
but when I have faith inwho God is, if I have faith
00:02:27.092 --> 00:02:31.597
in the fire, at the veryleast, I will draw closer
00:02:31.597 --> 00:02:34.299
to the presence of God becauseHe is with me in the fire.
00:02:34.299 --> 00:02:38.203
He is with me in the trials.
00:02:38.203 --> 00:02:40.005
And what I love about this story
00:02:40.005 --> 00:02:41.607
that has put a firein my bones this year
00:02:41.607 --> 00:02:45.310
is that King Nebuchadnezzarlooked really close
00:02:45.310 --> 00:02:48.614
to see what it lookedlike when three boys stood
00:02:48.614 --> 00:02:53.118
in the middle of a fire.
00:02:53.118 --> 00:02:55.320
And so what I'velearned this year
00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:57.122
is that even in themiddle of trials
00:02:57.122 --> 00:02:58.890
and in the middle offires, God is close.
00:02:58.890 --> 00:03:01.293
God is present in the fire.
00:03:01.293 --> 00:03:03.095
Even when He doesn'tsave me before the fire,
00:03:03.095 --> 00:03:05.197
in the middle of this season,He is in the middle of it,
00:03:05.197 --> 00:03:08.500
and that there is a worldthat is looking to see,
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:12.304
what does it look likewhen someone doesn't bow?
00:03:12.304 --> 00:03:15.807
What does it look like tohave faith in the fire?
00:03:15.807 --> 00:03:18.410
And you know what?
00:03:18.410 --> 00:03:19.611
The world will see abunch of Jesus followers
00:03:19.611 --> 00:03:22.814
who are saying, look, evenin the fire, He's with us
00:03:22.814 --> 00:03:25.617
and He's close andwe're not alone.
00:03:25.617 --> 00:03:28.420
So I wanna open up thisconversation to all of us today.
00:03:28.420 --> 00:03:30.822
- About what it'slike when, man,
00:03:31.890 --> 00:03:33.191
what we hoped wouldhappen does not happen,
00:03:33.191 --> 00:03:36.094
when we were notsaved before the fire
00:03:36.094 --> 00:03:38.597
and what we've discoveredabout a God that draws close
00:03:38.597 --> 00:03:41.099
and the testimony thatwe can give to the world.
00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:43.201
What do you think, Jeannie?
00:03:43.201 --> 00:03:44.403
How have you seenGod come close to you
00:03:44.403 --> 00:03:46.204
in trials in your life?
00:03:46.204 --> 00:03:47.906
- You know, Hosanna,I appreciate thosethoughts so much.
00:03:47.906 --> 00:03:51.310
I think about, weall gonna face times
00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:54.313
in our lives wherewe're disappointed
00:03:54.313 --> 00:03:56.915
or the outcome doesn't come out
00:03:56.915 --> 00:04:00.018
like we expected it to.
00:04:00.018 --> 00:04:01.820
It's what we dowith where we're at
00:04:01.820 --> 00:04:04.589
when things don't turn outlike we thought they were
00:04:04.589 --> 00:04:07.092
and it comes back toreally trusting God.
00:04:07.092 --> 00:04:09.895
And if you've had experience,if you've been a Christian
00:04:09.895 --> 00:04:13.198
for a while, I just believe
00:04:13.198 --> 00:04:15.701
that there's been goodthings that God has done
00:04:15.701 --> 00:04:17.803
in your life in the past,
00:04:17.803 --> 00:04:19.304
that sometimes you needto draw on those things
00:04:19.304 --> 00:04:21.707
to remember that God said,I will never leave you.
00:04:21.707 --> 00:04:25.010
I will never forsake you.
00:04:25.010 --> 00:04:26.611
I will be with you.
00:04:26.611 --> 00:04:27.713
I will comfort you.
00:04:27.713 --> 00:04:29.014
And when you believethose things,
00:04:29.014 --> 00:04:31.516
then when you facedisappointment,
00:04:31.516 --> 00:04:33.919
when you face things thatmaybe don't turn out,
00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:36.621
you face a difficult moment,
00:04:36.621 --> 00:04:38.390
you face a difficult season,
00:04:38.390 --> 00:04:40.092
you can have theconfidence that God
00:04:40.092 --> 00:04:42.394
will take all of this andwill work in your behalf
00:04:42.394 --> 00:04:46.098
and you will see good thatyou can't have ever imagined.
00:04:46.098 --> 00:04:50.402
And most oftentimes I findwhen I face a difficult season
00:04:50.402 --> 00:04:53.905
or something hasn't come outthe way I expected it to,
00:04:53.905 --> 00:04:57.809
I walk in the confidencethat God is a good God,
00:04:57.809 --> 00:05:01.113
and that if I willcontinue to look to Him,
00:05:01.113 --> 00:05:03.915
He's seeing somethingthat I don't see.
00:05:03.915 --> 00:05:06.618
There's a big picture thatI need to align myself with
00:05:06.618 --> 00:05:10.222
that goes beyond mypresent circumstances,
00:05:10.222 --> 00:05:13.291
where I say, God, I don'tsee that far down the road.
00:05:13.291 --> 00:05:16.795
I only see the pain that I'min right now, but I trust you.
00:05:16.795 --> 00:05:20.799
And I trust you because I'veseen you work in my behalf.
00:05:20.799 --> 00:05:24.002
I always, you know, youcan fall into a pond
00:05:24.002 --> 00:05:27.906
and come out smelling goodwhen God is on your side.
00:05:27.906 --> 00:05:31.009
And that's how Ireally, really believe.
00:05:31.009 --> 00:05:33.211
And I just constant believethat God is working for my good.
00:05:33.211 --> 00:05:38.216
And sometimes, you know,we should be praying,
00:05:39.418 --> 00:05:41.119
not my will, but Thy will.
00:05:41.119 --> 00:05:42.821
But sometimes I think it's hard
00:05:42.821 --> 00:05:44.222
for us to pray that'cause we're not sure.
00:05:44.222 --> 00:05:46.992
I think there are thosethat are not really sure
00:05:46.992 --> 00:05:49.094
if God really loves them or not.
00:05:49.094 --> 00:05:50.796
But when you come
00:05:50.796 --> 00:05:52.097
to that understandingof how much He loves you
00:05:52.097 --> 00:05:54.499
and that He is aboutthe good in your life,
00:05:54.499 --> 00:05:57.402
that He has good thingsfor you, then it's easier
00:05:57.402 --> 00:06:00.605
to walk in that confidenceand not worry so much
00:06:00.605 --> 00:06:03.909
about the tiny little details
00:06:03.909 --> 00:06:06.111
that we get ourselvesconsumed about.
00:06:06.111 --> 00:06:08.213
And God says, no, I'vegot something bigger
00:06:08.213 --> 00:06:11.216
and I've got something greater.
00:06:11.216 --> 00:06:12.717
And I want to provide that foryou, but it's trusting God.
00:06:12.717 --> 00:06:16.021
It's knowing thatHe has good for you.
00:06:16.021 --> 00:06:18.190
Good is ahead in store for you.
00:06:18.190 --> 00:06:20.592
- It's so true.
00:06:20.592 --> 00:06:21.893
I was thinking, whenyou were talking,
00:06:21.893 --> 00:06:23.395
there's a picture that'sbeen all over the internet
00:06:23.395 --> 00:06:25.897
that most of us would have seen,
00:06:25.897 --> 00:06:27.499
but there's a little girlwho's holding a teddy bear.
00:06:27.499 --> 00:06:29.701
And then there's a pictureof Jesus knelt down.
00:06:29.701 --> 00:06:32.103
And He's asking herfor the teddy bear,
00:06:32.103 --> 00:06:33.905
but behind His back he has aginormous teddy bear, right?
00:06:33.905 --> 00:06:37.509
And I think sometimeswe get so caught up
00:06:37.509 --> 00:06:40.512
in what is righthere in our hands.
00:06:40.512 --> 00:06:42.314
Like, you couldn'thave anything better
00:06:42.314 --> 00:06:44.316
than this right here.
00:06:44.316 --> 00:06:45.717
Like I, what do you mean?
00:06:45.717 --> 00:06:47.219
And we get disappointed in theseason of Him taking it away,
00:06:47.219 --> 00:06:50.922
and in the processof the bigger thing,
00:06:50.922 --> 00:06:52.491
the better thing coming around.
00:06:52.491 --> 00:06:53.992
Like, we get let down.
00:06:53.992 --> 00:06:56.094
And there was aseason in my life,
00:06:56.094 --> 00:06:57.596
I was newly married and Ethanand I wanted to have children.
00:06:57.596 --> 00:07:01.700
And it took us about threeyears to get pregnant.
00:07:01.700 --> 00:07:04.202
And all throughout that journey
00:07:04.202 --> 00:07:05.904
there were severalnegative tests that arrived
00:07:05.904 --> 00:07:08.406
before the positive.
00:07:08.406 --> 00:07:09.908
And I just remember everymonth being let down
00:07:09.908 --> 00:07:12.911
and I kept thinking like,God, what is going on?
00:07:12.911 --> 00:07:15.914
Like, how do I handle this?
00:07:15.914 --> 00:07:17.415
And honestly, I don'tknow if I handled it well
00:07:17.415 --> 00:07:20.018
in the season.
00:07:20.018 --> 00:07:21.219
But somebody saidsomething to me
00:07:21.219 --> 00:07:23.021
and it stuck with me andit healed a little bit
00:07:23.021 --> 00:07:25.390
of my heart in that moment.
00:07:25.390 --> 00:07:26.691
And I know it's notthe case for everyone,
00:07:26.691 --> 00:07:28.593
but they said you don't,
00:07:28.593 --> 00:07:30.295
you remember thatevery child is born
00:07:30.295 --> 00:07:32.797
for such a time as this andthat God will work all things
00:07:32.797 --> 00:07:36.001
together for yourgood and for theirs.
00:07:36.001 --> 00:07:38.303
And it just gaveme a lot of hope
00:07:38.303 --> 00:07:40.105
that God knew what He was doing.
00:07:40.105 --> 00:07:41.706
But three yearslater we get pregnant
00:07:41.706 --> 00:07:43.708
and we're six weeks inand I start bleeding
00:07:43.708 --> 00:07:46.211
and we call the doctorand the doctor says,
00:07:46.211 --> 00:07:48.813
it sounds likeyou're miscarrying.
00:07:48.813 --> 00:07:50.115
I'm so sorry.
00:07:50.115 --> 00:07:51.016
We can't see you tonight.
00:07:51.016 --> 00:07:52.017
We'll see you in the morning.
00:07:52.017 --> 00:07:53.218
And we just broke in that.
00:07:53.218 --> 00:07:55.720
My parents, I was livingat my parents' house
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.422
and I just brokein their bathroom.
00:07:57.422 --> 00:07:58.590
And I remember being like
00:07:58.590 --> 00:07:59.791
God, for so long, Ibegged you for this.
00:07:59.791 --> 00:08:01.893
You finally give it,and it feels like
00:08:01.893 --> 00:08:03.495
you're taking it away,
00:08:03.495 --> 00:08:04.796
and I don't know how to do this.
00:08:04.796 --> 00:08:06.798
And I just rememberwe were crying there.
00:08:06.798 --> 00:08:08.400
And all the sudden, Ijust had this little
00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:10.302
tap on my shoulder thatsaid, but will you trust me?
00:08:10.302 --> 00:08:13.204
And out loud, withEthan sitting there,
00:08:13.204 --> 00:08:15.307
I just said, you know what, God,
00:08:15.307 --> 00:08:17.309
no matter what happens,you're still a good God.
00:08:17.309 --> 00:08:20.512
And you love me,you love my family,
00:08:20.512 --> 00:08:22.814
you love Ethan and I,you love this child.
00:08:22.814 --> 00:08:25.517
And so no matter whathappens, I'm gonna trust you.
00:08:25.517 --> 00:08:29.220
And in that moment, what felt--
00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:31.389
- So heavy, was justtotally relieved.
00:08:32.490 --> 00:08:34.392
It was just totally like,"Oh, you're a good God.
00:08:34.392 --> 00:08:37.295
"You're gonna take care of it."
00:08:37.295 --> 00:08:38.897
And to our surprise, wewent in the next day,
00:08:38.897 --> 00:08:41.299
they said, "You have a 50/50chance of this baby living.
00:08:41.299 --> 00:08:44.402
"We're gonna tellyou it's gonna die
00:08:44.402 --> 00:08:45.804
"within the next couple weeks."
00:08:45.804 --> 00:08:47.405
And that little girlis now seven years old.
00:08:47.405 --> 00:08:50.408
I don't know how that happened.
00:08:50.408 --> 00:08:52.410
I just know that Godwas faithful throughthe whole thing.
00:08:52.410 --> 00:08:54.913
And I know that'snot everyone's story,
00:08:54.913 --> 00:08:57.115
but the moment I hadwith Him in the bathroom
00:08:57.115 --> 00:08:59.618
where I couldliterally just say,
00:08:59.618 --> 00:09:01.920
"I don't understand this,but God, whatever it is,
00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:04.789
"I'm gonna trust You."
00:09:04.789 --> 00:09:06.391
What He did in myheart right there
00:09:06.391 --> 00:09:08.193
is so much more pricelessto me in that moment.
00:09:08.193 --> 00:09:11.596
And that's what I wouldencourage you to do
00:09:11.596 --> 00:09:13.598
is to realize like, no matterwhat you're going through,
00:09:13.598 --> 00:09:16.901
the weight of it,the pain of it,
00:09:16.901 --> 00:09:18.803
the struggle of it,
00:09:18.803 --> 00:09:20.405
that God is rightthere with you.
00:09:20.405 --> 00:09:22.507
And just likeHosanna talked about,
00:09:22.507 --> 00:09:24.409
He is in the fire with you.
00:09:24.409 --> 00:09:27.012
And they were praisingthe Lord in the fire.
00:09:27.012 --> 00:09:29.514
They were givingHim glory and honor,
00:09:29.514 --> 00:09:31.816
not because theirsituation was worthy of it,
00:09:31.816 --> 00:09:33.718
but because theirGod was worthy of it.
00:09:33.718 --> 00:09:36.021
And that's what I realized.
00:09:36.021 --> 00:09:37.522
That no matter what theseason is, no matter the fire,
00:09:37.522 --> 00:09:40.692
God is worthy of mypraise and honor.
00:09:40.692 --> 00:09:43.194
And just like you said,Jeannie, He is a good God
00:09:43.194 --> 00:09:46.798
and I can trust that no matterwhat I'm walking through.
00:09:46.798 --> 00:09:50.802
- So this is all amazing.
00:09:50.802 --> 00:09:52.604
Hosanna, you started out withone of my favorite stories
00:09:52.604 --> 00:09:55.607
in the whole world isShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
00:09:55.607 --> 00:09:59.010
and the fire.- Yay!
00:09:59.010 --> 00:10:00.612
- And Elaine, the thingsthat we walk through.
00:10:00.612 --> 00:10:02.113
You know, I'm pretty surethat Shadrach, Meshach,
00:10:02.113 --> 00:10:04.315
and Abednego, their thingwas not to actually be
00:10:04.315 --> 00:10:07.619
thrown into the fire.
00:10:07.619 --> 00:10:09.220
I'm sure they would haverather had not done that.
00:10:09.220 --> 00:10:12.891
But the story ofthat and them saying,
00:10:12.891 --> 00:10:16.394
"It doesn't matter what youdo, King Nebuchadnezzar."
00:10:16.394 --> 00:10:20.198
Who actually was placedin authority by God
00:10:20.198 --> 00:10:24.002
and made everybody serve him.
00:10:24.002 --> 00:10:26.404
And those who did not serve him,
00:10:26.404 --> 00:10:28.306
were gonna get in big trouble.
00:10:28.306 --> 00:10:29.808
You can read thatin Jeremiah 27.
00:10:29.808 --> 00:10:33.912
What I love about thestory is they said,
00:10:33.912 --> 00:10:35.914
"Even if we don't and weare thrown in the fire,
00:10:35.914 --> 00:10:40.518
"it's all right."
00:10:40.518 --> 00:10:41.920
So here they go into the fire
00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:44.889
and all of a sudden,
00:10:44.889 --> 00:10:46.391
and they turn it up seventimes hotter, you know?
00:10:46.391 --> 00:10:49.494
And all of a sudden, KingNebuchadnezzar is looking in
00:10:49.494 --> 00:10:53.698
and he's saying,
00:10:53.698 --> 00:10:54.899
"Who is that fourth manin the fire?" Right?
00:10:54.899 --> 00:10:58.203
So here, we as Christiansit seems like today,
00:10:58.203 --> 00:11:02.307
we're all wanting to jumpout of the frying pan.
00:11:02.307 --> 00:11:05.009
We're all wanting to jumpout of 2020 right now.
00:11:05.009 --> 00:11:08.113
We all feel like we'rejust being tested beyond.
00:11:08.113 --> 00:11:12.016
But maybe God is provingHis people right now.
00:11:12.016 --> 00:11:16.721
Maybe He's turning theheat up on everybody.
00:11:16.721 --> 00:11:20.792
Maybe the other peopleare looking in going,
00:11:20.792 --> 00:11:23.394
"Who is that fourth manin the fire with them?"
00:11:23.394 --> 00:11:27.799
- [Host] That's right.
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:28.800
- And so the question today
00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:31.503
is not that can Icome out of the fire,
00:11:31.503 --> 00:11:35.507
but maybe the question is,can you come into the fire?
00:11:35.507 --> 00:11:39.310
Can you come in and comeinto the fire and survive?
00:11:39.310 --> 00:11:44.215
Because Jesus is in the fire.
00:11:44.215 --> 00:11:47.318
Jesus is in the storm.
00:11:47.318 --> 00:11:49.220
Jesus is in those moments
00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:51.489
where everybodyelse on the outside,
00:11:51.489 --> 00:11:53.992
Jesus is on the boat.
00:11:53.992 --> 00:11:55.994
Jesus is in Noah'sboat, you know?
00:11:55.994 --> 00:11:59.297
So it's like,
00:11:59.297 --> 00:12:00.799
it's like we all wanna get out.
00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:03.501
We all wanna get itto get over with.
00:12:03.501 --> 00:12:05.603
But maybe God is saying,
00:12:05.603 --> 00:12:07.205
"I want people to lookinside and see you,
00:12:07.205 --> 00:12:10.809
"and then see Me.
00:12:10.809 --> 00:12:12.110
"See that I'm inyour fire with you,
00:12:12.110 --> 00:12:14.512
"that I am pushing you through,
00:12:14.512 --> 00:12:16.414
"that I am carryingyou through the fire."
00:12:16.414 --> 00:12:18.817
And what's so amazingabout that scripture
00:12:18.817 --> 00:12:21.820
is that in that firethat all the bondages,
00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:25.089
all their bondages dropped off.
00:12:25.089 --> 00:12:27.292
All the things that hadheld them down in the fire
00:12:27.292 --> 00:12:31.396
were dropped off and they werefreed in the fire, Chrystal.
00:12:31.396 --> 00:12:34.199
That's one of my favoritescriptures in the whole world.
00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:38.102
- Come on. Preach,Laurie Crouch.
00:12:38.102 --> 00:12:39.304
- There is nothing thatcan keep you bound.
00:12:39.304 --> 00:12:42.407
There is nothingthat can destroy you
00:12:42.407 --> 00:12:44.809
outside of what Godhas planned for you.
00:12:44.809 --> 00:12:47.912
There is no authority,
00:12:47.912 --> 00:12:49.514
there is no power, but God's.
00:12:49.514 --> 00:12:52.217
God's authority.
00:12:52.217 --> 00:12:53.518
And that is who hassay over your life
00:12:53.518 --> 00:12:56.621
and over what happens to you.
00:12:56.621 --> 00:12:57.822
- Amen.- Because you belong to Him.
00:12:57.822 --> 00:13:00.792
- I love that.
00:13:00.792 --> 00:13:02.093
You know, and I think about,
00:13:02.093 --> 00:13:04.295
you know, that same.
00:13:04.295 --> 00:13:05.897
The Hebrew boys beingthrown into the fire,
00:13:05.897 --> 00:13:08.299
you know, makes methink about Daniel
00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:10.501
and having to stay putovernight in the lion's den.
00:13:10.501 --> 00:13:13.805
And that wasn't fun, I'm sure.
00:13:13.805 --> 00:13:15.406
(Chrystal laughs)
00:13:15.406 --> 00:13:17.208
But him being thrown therebecause of his commitment
00:13:17.208 --> 00:13:20.912
to stay connectedwith God in prayer,
00:13:20.912 --> 00:13:24.015
and him being framedfor being committed.
00:13:24.015 --> 00:13:27.018
You know, prayingwith his window open.
00:13:27.018 --> 00:13:28.720
And he was like,
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.221
"Oh, y'all want me toshow that I'm gonna stay?"
00:13:30.221 --> 00:13:31.990
- Committed to God, let mejust leave my window open,
00:13:32.690 --> 00:13:34.893
so there's no question aboutwhether or not, you know.
00:13:34.893 --> 00:13:38.596
And in Daniel six, he getsthrown into the lion's den
00:13:38.596 --> 00:13:41.699
and of course, the nextmorning the king comes
00:13:41.699 --> 00:13:44.402
and he's like, Daniel areyou basically still there?
00:13:44.402 --> 00:13:48.006
Daniel's like, my God kept me.
00:13:48.006 --> 00:13:50.108
But I think, what a night,you know, what a night.
00:13:50.108 --> 00:13:54.112
We can always look at hindsight
00:13:54.112 --> 00:13:57.715
and say to somebody who'sbeen through the fire
00:13:57.715 --> 00:13:59.918
or had to go througha dark night,
00:13:59.918 --> 00:14:02.420
with the lions that'resitting there perched
00:14:02.420 --> 00:14:05.390
to cause fear andanxiety and stress.
00:14:05.390 --> 00:14:07.892
We can look at somebody who'sbeen through a dark night,
00:14:07.892 --> 00:14:10.595
who's been througha fire, and say,
00:14:10.595 --> 00:14:12.497
look at how Godwas strong in you.
00:14:12.497 --> 00:14:14.399
But the questions is,when you're in the fire,
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.302
when you're in thedarkness of the pit,
00:14:17.302 --> 00:14:19.904
what are you going tofeel and believe then.
00:14:19.904 --> 00:14:23.207
And that's the part thatis the choosing for us,
00:14:23.207 --> 00:14:26.511
that is the choosing joy,
00:14:26.511 --> 00:14:28.513
when the circumstancesdon't spell joy out.
00:14:28.513 --> 00:14:30.815
It's the choosing belief,when the circumstances
00:14:30.815 --> 00:14:33.318
don't spell beliefout, it is the choosing
00:14:33.318 --> 00:14:36.321
settled-ness and peace of mind,
00:14:36.321 --> 00:14:38.323
when your circumstanceswould say otherwise.
00:14:38.323 --> 00:14:40.692
I know I have personallybeen in some dark spots,
00:14:40.692 --> 00:14:44.195
and I've had to choose peace.
00:14:44.195 --> 00:14:47.098
I've been in thehospital with my husband
00:14:47.098 --> 00:14:49.100
and had to think, you knowmy brain wants to run away,
00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:51.803
with all the thingsthat could happen,
00:14:51.803 --> 00:14:53.404
all the turns this could take.
00:14:53.404 --> 00:14:55.306
Think about Danielthinking, if I close my eyes
00:14:55.306 --> 00:14:57.208
for one second, areone of those lions
00:14:57.208 --> 00:14:59.110
gonna jump me from behind?
00:14:59.110 --> 00:15:00.411
Like am I perched thewhole night in fear,
00:15:00.411 --> 00:15:03.715
or am I thinkingyou know listen,
00:15:03.715 --> 00:15:05.416
I either believe God canhandle my situation or I don't.
00:15:05.416 --> 00:15:08.219
I'm either those three boys
00:15:08.219 --> 00:15:09.620
and I believe you canhandle it or don't.
00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:11.022
So the thing for meis, in the difficulty,
00:15:11.022 --> 00:15:14.292
in the fires, in thedarkness of night
00:15:14.292 --> 00:15:16.294
is to say, either I believeGod is who he says he is,
00:15:16.294 --> 00:15:20.798
or I don't, you know.
00:15:20.798 --> 00:15:23.001
Because I would hate towaste those opportunities,
00:15:23.001 --> 00:15:26.204
and that's what they are,
00:15:26.204 --> 00:15:27.505
are opportunitiesto practice peace,
00:15:27.505 --> 00:15:30.808
when your situation's notspeaking peace to you.
00:15:32.210 --> 00:15:34.412
That you can havea different thing
00:15:34.412 --> 00:15:36.714
operating on the inside of you,
00:15:36.714 --> 00:15:39.017
than what'shappening around you.
00:15:39.017 --> 00:15:41.019
And you know, I alwaystell my children
00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:44.122
that they go into freak out mode
00:15:44.122 --> 00:15:45.990
when there's somethingthat they want
00:15:45.990 --> 00:15:48.493
or that they'rewaiting on from me,
00:15:48.493 --> 00:15:50.495
and I'm not doingit fast enough.
00:15:50.495 --> 00:15:52.196
And they're like mom,are you gonna forget?
00:15:52.196 --> 00:15:53.398
Mom, don't forgetit, mom don't forget.
00:15:53.398 --> 00:15:56.501
And I'm like, you know, Iheard you the first time,
00:15:56.501 --> 00:15:58.803
I wrote it down, it's in theplanner, I'm not gonna forget.
00:15:58.803 --> 00:16:02.507
And so imagine how muchbetter your life would be,
00:16:02.507 --> 00:16:05.910
if you gave it to me and thentrusted I was gonna handle it.
00:16:07.311 --> 00:16:10.314
Like in between your askand in between the answer.
00:16:10.314 --> 00:16:14.118
You can either run aroundtotally stressed out, you know,
00:16:14.118 --> 00:16:17.221
questioning me every move,talking about it to everybody,
00:16:17.221 --> 00:16:20.792
or you can exhibitjoy despite your wait.
00:16:20.792 --> 00:16:24.595
You can exhibit peacedespite your questions.
00:16:24.595 --> 00:16:27.598
You can exhibit calm,despite the waves of the sea,
00:16:27.598 --> 00:16:31.502
you know, that arehappening in your mind.
00:16:31.502 --> 00:16:33.604
You can choose, that'swhat the bible says.
00:16:33.604 --> 00:16:35.706
God gives good giftsto his children,
00:16:35.706 --> 00:16:38.009
and if a father, anearthly father does that,
00:16:38.009 --> 00:16:40.611
then how much more wouldour heavenly father do that?
00:16:40.611 --> 00:16:43.314
So the key is, do we wanna justbe praisers on the back end,
00:16:43.314 --> 00:16:48.319
you know, of 2020, or onthe back end of the grief
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.222
or on the back end of thehardship in our family
00:16:51.222 --> 00:16:53.191
or on the backend of our health.
00:16:53.191 --> 00:16:54.792
The back end of our loss of job
00:16:54.792 --> 00:16:56.394
or the back end of our finances.
00:16:56.394 --> 00:16:58.596
Or do we wanna bethe kind of people,
00:16:58.596 --> 00:17:00.398
that all the waythrough the fire,
00:17:00.398 --> 00:17:02.300
that all the way throughthe pit and the darkness,
00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:04.802
that all the waythrough the trouble,
00:17:04.802 --> 00:17:06.604
that we choose tosee and celebrate
00:17:06.604 --> 00:17:08.906
God's goodness, going through.
00:17:08.906 --> 00:17:11.008
And that's my challengebecause I wanna be the person
00:17:11.008 --> 00:17:13.711
on the other end, that says,God brought me through.
00:17:13.711 --> 00:17:16.013
But I really don'twanna be the person,
00:17:16.013 --> 00:17:17.615
who in the midstof it, is hollering
00:17:17.615 --> 00:17:20.218
and screaming and cryingand whining the whole time.
00:17:20.218 --> 00:17:23.221
And you know, I mean last thing,
00:17:23.221 --> 00:17:24.922
the other example, it'slike the children of Israel.
00:17:24.922 --> 00:17:27.592
He got them out ofEgypt, he got them out.
00:17:27.592 --> 00:17:30.194
They ask him, can you getus out, he got them out.
00:17:30.194 --> 00:17:33.297
And then, theystarted complaining.
00:17:33.297 --> 00:17:34.899
Oh my gosh, we're gonnadie, we don't have food.
00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:37.902
And you know, it's like really?
00:17:37.902 --> 00:17:39.003
Do you actually think that God
00:17:39.003 --> 00:17:41.105
who got you our of Egypt, isnow gonna just let you die?
00:17:41.105 --> 00:17:43.508
And they eventually madeit to the promised land,
00:17:43.508 --> 00:17:45.810
but with 40 years of goingin circles and complaining.
00:17:45.810 --> 00:17:48.913
So, the question is,do you wanna get there
00:17:48.913 --> 00:17:51.616
and then celebrate,or do you wanna
00:17:51.616 --> 00:17:53.518
believe and celebratealong the way?
00:17:53.518 --> 00:17:55.219
And that's whatchoosing joy means.
00:17:55.219 --> 00:17:57.722
It means that I decideto believe on the outcome
00:17:57.722 --> 00:18:01.392
and what I believe he can do,
00:18:01.392 --> 00:18:02.793
even if the outcomeisn't what I want.
00:18:02.793 --> 00:18:04.896
But through the process,I choose to believe,
00:18:04.896 --> 00:18:08.099
I'm not gonna waiton the answer.
00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:09.400
I'm gonna wait untilmy change comes,
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.102
as the old folks used to say,I'm gonna shout right now.
00:18:11.102 --> 00:18:14.105
- Amen, I love that a lot.
00:18:14.105 --> 00:18:16.607
I think that's so, a importantmessage Chrystal, for today.
00:18:16.607 --> 00:18:21.512
Of choosing joy in themiddle of the fire,
00:18:21.512 --> 00:18:25.816
choosing peace when Idon't feel peaceful.
00:18:25.816 --> 00:18:29.520
Choosing to praise God.
00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:31.222
- Feel like turning onworship and praising God.
00:18:31.322 --> 00:18:34.091
Choosing to go into the wordand declare his promises.
00:18:34.091 --> 00:18:37.195
But I don't feel likesitting in the quiet
00:18:37.195 --> 00:18:39.597
and reading His word.
00:18:39.597 --> 00:18:41.098
What are we choosing to doin the middle of the fire?
00:18:41.098 --> 00:18:45.303
And in the story of Shadrach,Meshach, and Abednego
00:18:45.303 --> 00:18:48.406
and king Nebuchadnezzarlooks in,
00:18:48.406 --> 00:18:50.208
I can't help, but think whatthe world is seeing us do
00:18:50.208 --> 00:18:54.212
when they're looking in
00:18:54.212 --> 00:18:55.713
and seeing what we're doingin the middle of a fire.
00:18:55.713 --> 00:18:58.216
How are we speakingto people online
00:18:58.216 --> 00:19:00.718
in the middle of our fires?
00:19:00.718 --> 00:19:02.320
How are we speakingto our spouses
00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:04.121
in the middle of our trials?
00:19:04.121 --> 00:19:05.389
How are we talking to our staff
00:19:05.389 --> 00:19:07.091
in the middle of thestorms of our lives?
00:19:07.091 --> 00:19:09.193
And people are looking atChrist's followers thinking,
00:19:09.193 --> 00:19:11.596
what are they doing?
00:19:11.596 --> 00:19:12.897
They said, they believeGod, no matter what.
00:19:12.897 --> 00:19:15.299
They said, even if hedoesn't, we still won't bow.
00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:17.902
And now what are they doingin the middle of the fire?
00:19:17.902 --> 00:19:20.504
And how important it is
00:19:20.504 --> 00:19:21.806
that we are people ofpeace and joy and faith
00:19:21.806 --> 00:19:24.308
and people of peaceand joy to other people
00:19:25.509 --> 00:19:28.212
because of the worldthat's watching.
00:19:28.212 --> 00:19:30.014
And then I love afterthey came out of the fire,
00:19:30.014 --> 00:19:32.617
they were unbound andunharmed, come on, Jesus.
00:19:32.617 --> 00:19:35.119
And then King Nebuchadnezzarsays, you know,
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.321
remember before how I saidyou couldn't bow to this God?
00:19:37.321 --> 00:19:40.391
Now you can.
00:19:40.391 --> 00:19:41.692
Now all of you canbow to that God.
00:19:41.692 --> 00:19:43.594
I saw what he could do.
00:19:43.594 --> 00:19:44.996
I looked inside of the fire,now everyone is able to.
00:19:44.996 --> 00:19:47.398
So we see that Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego
00:19:47.398 --> 00:19:49.600
because they had faiththrough the fire,
00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:51.202
they were not theonly one set free.
00:19:51.202 --> 00:19:53.604
But now there wasa world, a kingdom
00:19:53.604 --> 00:19:55.906
that at one pointwas forced to bow,
00:19:55.906 --> 00:19:58.309
but now the peoplewho are forced to bow
00:19:58.309 --> 00:20:00.511
saw what it was liketo stand in the fire
00:20:00.511 --> 00:20:02.613
and now they knowthey can stand too.
00:20:02.613 --> 00:20:05.216
Your victory and yourpeace and your joy
00:20:05.216 --> 00:20:08.019
and your story in thisseason is not just for you.
00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:11.422
It's for freeingother people too.
00:20:11.422 --> 00:20:13.491
It's for showing other people
00:20:13.491 --> 00:20:14.992
what people of faith can be like
00:20:14.992 --> 00:20:17.695
and how God is with us
00:20:17.695 --> 00:20:18.996
and how we can beset free in the fire.
00:20:18.996 --> 00:20:21.299
It's so important that whenpeople are close, they see it
00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:23.701
'cause the world wantsto know, can I stand?
00:20:23.701 --> 00:20:26.003
Everyone else is bowing to fear,
00:20:27.104 --> 00:20:29.307
everyone else'sbowing to anxiety,
00:20:29.307 --> 00:20:31.409
can I stand in themiddle of the fire?
00:20:31.409 --> 00:20:33.511
So it's so importantthat everyone watching
00:20:33.511 --> 00:20:35.613
that you know peopleare watching you
00:20:35.613 --> 00:20:37.915
and I hope thatyou choose to stand
00:20:37.915 --> 00:20:40.418
in the middle of whatevertrial you're going through.
00:20:40.418 --> 00:20:43.521
What do you think Jeannie?
00:20:43.521 --> 00:20:45.022
- Amen, Hosanna.
00:20:45.022 --> 00:20:46.791
You know something that comesto me while I'm sitting here
00:20:46.791 --> 00:20:49.493
and I'm listening to everybody
00:20:49.493 --> 00:20:51.195
just share out of their heart
00:20:51.195 --> 00:20:52.596
and now the truthsof God's word.
00:20:52.596 --> 00:20:54.999
That I think sometimes wehave a virus in our system.
00:20:54.999 --> 00:20:59.403
We're not really sure ifwe're truly loved by God
00:20:59.403 --> 00:21:04.108
and when we're notabsolutely confident
00:21:04.108 --> 00:21:08.012
of God's love for us, thenit makes it hard to walk.
00:21:08.012 --> 00:21:12.616
It makes it hard to stand.
00:21:12.616 --> 00:21:14.518
It makes us question our faith.
00:21:14.518 --> 00:21:16.620
When I know that I'mabsolutely loved,
00:21:16.620 --> 00:21:20.191
it's like for instance,with my husband Phil,
00:21:20.191 --> 00:21:22.593
I know that he's crazy about me.
00:21:22.593 --> 00:21:24.995
And because I know that
00:21:24.995 --> 00:21:27.098
I know that I don't everhave to worry about anything
00:21:27.098 --> 00:21:30.401
that he would ask me to do.
00:21:30.401 --> 00:21:32.002
He wouldn't askme to do something
00:21:32.002 --> 00:21:34.205
that would bring harm to me
00:21:34.205 --> 00:21:35.706
because I'm confidentof his love for me.
00:21:35.706 --> 00:21:38.609
And that's the way it is.
00:21:38.609 --> 00:21:40.010
I think when we knowbeyond a shadow of a doubt,
00:21:40.010 --> 00:21:43.714
not just in our head, butour head and our heart,
00:21:43.714 --> 00:21:46.417
we have to link thetwo things together.
00:21:46.417 --> 00:21:48.719
When we have that confidence,
00:21:48.719 --> 00:21:50.321
it's easier to walkthrough the fire
00:21:50.321 --> 00:21:53.591
because we're confidentthat he will bring us.
00:21:53.591 --> 00:21:56.694
We're confident thathe'll bring us through
00:21:56.694 --> 00:21:58.295
to the other side andin a greater place.
00:21:58.295 --> 00:22:01.699
Not lacking, but becominggreater and greater
00:22:01.699 --> 00:22:05.202
through what He wantsto do through us.
00:22:05.202 --> 00:22:07.204
So I think having thatunderstanding sometimes,
00:22:07.204 --> 00:22:10.808
you know, you havethe discipline to say,
00:22:10.808 --> 00:22:12.309
hey, I'm just doing this.
00:22:12.309 --> 00:22:14.211
But sometimes whenyou're in a tough place
00:22:14.211 --> 00:22:16.213
that's not enough.
00:22:16.213 --> 00:22:17.715
You have to have the reassuranceand the confidence to know
00:22:17.715 --> 00:22:21.018
that you are loved reallyloved by God almighty.
00:22:21.018 --> 00:22:24.021
And that His good is Hehas good plans for you.
00:22:24.021 --> 00:22:27.491
He really does.
00:22:27.491 --> 00:22:28.492
And so we look at 2020
00:22:28.492 --> 00:22:30.194
and there's stuff that'sbeen all over the place.
00:22:30.194 --> 00:22:32.596
And I think when westarted into this
00:22:32.596 --> 00:22:36.400
in the earlier part of the year,
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:37.501
and here we find ourselves
00:22:37.501 --> 00:22:39.003
and don't know quite whenall of it's going to end.
00:22:39.003 --> 00:22:41.705
But we do have this confidence.
00:22:41.705 --> 00:22:43.407
I have this godlyconfidence inside of me
00:22:43.407 --> 00:22:46.811
knowing that I'm loved
00:22:46.811 --> 00:22:48.412
and that God has alot of grace for me
00:22:48.412 --> 00:22:50.614
and that I can getthrough anything
00:22:50.614 --> 00:22:52.817
because He's right beside me.
00:22:52.817 --> 00:22:54.518
Not just right besideme, He's in me,
00:22:54.518 --> 00:22:56.420
He's leading me, He's guidingme, He's directing me.
00:22:56.420 --> 00:22:59.490
He's droppingthoughts in my spirit
00:22:59.490 --> 00:23:01.692
of which way to turnor when to hold still
00:23:01.692 --> 00:23:03.694
or when to move forward.
00:23:03.694 --> 00:23:05.396
He's droppingthings inside of me
00:23:05.396 --> 00:23:07.598
to bring an encouraging wordto my sister or my brother
00:23:07.598 --> 00:23:10.601
that they may need someuplifting during this time
00:23:10.601 --> 00:23:13.704
and in the season thatthey find themselves in.
00:23:13.704 --> 00:23:16.407
But it comes back tothe fact of knowing
00:23:16.407 --> 00:23:18.609
that I am loved by God almighty
00:23:18.609 --> 00:23:21.412
and that when Iknow that I'm loved,
00:23:21.412 --> 00:23:24.014
I can do anythingthat He asks me to do.
00:23:24.014 --> 00:23:27.117
It's not a problem.
00:23:27.117 --> 00:23:28.619
I can hold my place,I can stand...
00:23:28.619 --> 00:23:32.022
- And in that armor ofGod, like we talked about,
00:23:33.390 --> 00:23:34.492
because I know that I'm loved,
00:23:34.492 --> 00:23:36.293
and I know he willnot forsake me.
00:23:36.293 --> 00:23:38.395
If I ask him for bread,he won't give me a stone.
00:23:38.395 --> 00:23:41.699
That's what the word said.
00:23:41.699 --> 00:23:43.100
I've got that word inside me,
00:23:43.100 --> 00:23:44.502
and I've got the confidenceof his love in me.
00:23:44.502 --> 00:23:47.505
And I've seen him too manytimes do amazing things
00:23:47.505 --> 00:23:51.509
in my life to never doubtthat he doesn't love me.
00:23:51.509 --> 00:23:55.613
And I will stand on that.
00:23:55.613 --> 00:23:57.515
- Amen.
00:23:57.515 --> 00:23:58.716
Well, I think we justneed to take a moment
00:23:58.716 --> 00:24:00.217
and pray for everyone that'swatching that is in that fire.
00:24:00.217 --> 00:24:04.021
You're in the storm.
00:24:04.021 --> 00:24:05.589
And let's just declarethat we will choose joy
00:24:05.589 --> 00:24:08.192
in this season.
00:24:08.192 --> 00:24:09.493
And let's remind oursouls and our hearts
00:24:09.493 --> 00:24:10.995
that we are loved bythe most high King.
00:24:10.995 --> 00:24:12.997
So let's pray together.
00:24:12.997 --> 00:24:14.498
God, I thank you for everysingle person that's watching.
00:24:14.498 --> 00:24:16.901
I thank you that you diedon the cross for them,
00:24:16.901 --> 00:24:18.903
that you love them withan extravagant love,
00:24:18.903 --> 00:24:22.106
and that love will meet themwhere they are in the fire,
00:24:22.106 --> 00:24:25.309
in the pit, with the lions,
00:24:25.309 --> 00:24:27.111
with everything that'scoming against them,
00:24:27.111 --> 00:24:29.213
or right now as they sitin disappointment and fear.
00:24:29.213 --> 00:24:32.316
I just pray that your presencewould wrap around them
00:24:32.316 --> 00:24:34.618
and comfort them,
00:24:34.618 --> 00:24:35.819
and remind them thatyou are the good father
00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:38.989
that loves them, that iswith them, that sees them,
00:24:38.989 --> 00:24:41.892
and that knows theirinner most being.
00:24:41.892 --> 00:24:44.194
And so Lord, we just praythat you would meet us
