Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Faith Under Pressure (Part 2) | August 25, 2025
  • And now he has given us an assignment.
  • 00:00:01.525 --> 00:00:04.027
  • And that assignment is to spread the gospel all over the world.
  • 00:00:04.027 --> 00:00:08.565
  • So today we get to celebrate jesus.
  • 00:00:08.565 --> 00:00:11.635
  • You can't help that.
  • 00:00:11.635 --> 00:00:13.236
  • That's not based on you.
  • 00:00:13.236 --> 00:00:14.871
  • That is the spirit of god working in you, all around you.
  • 00:00:14.871 --> 00:00:18.375
  • People see that light and you better believe
  • 00:00:18.375 --> 00:00:20.911
  • There is favor from god on a godly,
  • 00:00:20.911 --> 00:00:24.214
  • Faithful mother that keeps praying.
  • 00:00:24.214 --> 00:00:28.018
  • God is using you to do the hard things and you're
  • 00:00:28.018 --> 00:00:31.788
  • Teaching your children how to have godly character.
  • 00:00:31.788 --> 00:00:35.025
  • But here's what's amazing about it
  • 00:00:35.025 --> 00:00:36.560
  • Because the spirit of god is living in you.
  • 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.628
  • You will always stand out as a god.
  • 00:00:38.628 --> 00:00:41.198
  • The mother.
  • 00:00:41.198 --> 00:00:43.467
  • So let me help you here.
  • 00:00:43.467 --> 00:00:44.534
  • Let me encourage you with this
  • 00:00:44.534 --> 00:00:45.569
  • Because sometimes it's discouraging. why?
  • 00:00:45.569 --> 00:00:47.571
  • Because when you stand out, you better believe
  • 00:00:47.571 --> 00:00:50.006
  • There will be people that talk bad about you.
  • 00:00:50.006 --> 00:00:53.009
  • There will be people who roll their eyes at you.
  • 00:00:53.009 --> 00:00:56.146
  • Okay?
  • 00:00:56.146 --> 00:00:56.847
  • There will come trials at times.
  • 00:00:56.847 --> 00:00:58.949
  • There will be people that want to compare you to somebody else.
  • 00:00:58.949 --> 00:01:01.885
  • You know why they want to compare you to somebody else?
  • 00:01:02.919 --> 00:01:04.754
  • Because they want to make you make you like somebody else.
  • 00:01:04.754 --> 00:01:07.257
  • They know because they don't like the reason you stand out.
  • 00:01:07.257 --> 00:01:10.293
  • They want to conform you into somebody else.
  • 00:01:10.293 --> 00:01:12.462
  • And sometimes
  • 00:01:12.462 --> 00:01:13.530
  • When you're standing strong by the word of god,
  • 00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:15.599
  • You're going to hear those comments
  • 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:16.833
  • That just get under your skin like you're overprotective.
  • 00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:19.836
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:01:19.836 --> 00:01:20.971
  • You've been called to be a guardian over your children.
  • 00:01:20.971 --> 00:01:23.406
  • But please understand that there was a light of god's
  • 00:01:23.406 --> 00:01:26.409
  • Love and your children.
  • 00:01:26.409 --> 00:01:27.944
  • You have been called to be a warrior and a guardian
  • 00:01:27.944 --> 00:01:31.348
  • To protect them from the darkness,
  • 00:01:31.348 --> 00:01:33.617
  • Trying to creep into your house
  • 00:01:33.617 --> 00:01:35.552
  • And trying to creep into their minds and ruin their identity.
  • 00:01:35.552 --> 00:01:38.855
  • No, you are reminding them their identity is in jesus christ.
  • 00:01:38.855 --> 00:01:43.693
  • And so
  • 00:01:43.894 --> 00:01:44.728
  • Every single day you are fighting
  • 00:01:44.728 --> 00:01:47.397
  • And god knows you're tired.
  • 00:01:47.397 --> 00:01:50.934
  • God knows
  • 00:01:51.234 --> 00:01:53.937
  • Some of you may be crying at night and nobody even knows.
  • 00:01:53.937 --> 00:01:58.108
  • But the lord knows.
  • 00:01:58.108 --> 00:02:00.443
  • Gentleman stress trying to make things work out.
  • 00:02:00.443 --> 00:02:02.779
  • But again, remember what the prophet isaiah stated.
  • 00:02:02.779 --> 00:02:06.216
  • God is with you and he is the one that holds you up.
  • 00:02:06.216 --> 00:02:10.353
  • Stop putting the pressure on yourself.
  • 00:02:11.188 --> 00:02:14.758
  • And i'm telling you, even though sometimes
  • 00:02:14.758 --> 00:02:16.126
  • It feels like nothing's changing,
  • 00:02:16.126 --> 00:02:18.995
  • You're changing everything.
  • 00:02:18.995 --> 00:02:19.829
  • Because, listen, your job is
  • 00:02:19.829 --> 00:02:21.798
  • Not to raise children, to fit in with this world.
  • 00:02:21.798 --> 00:02:25.569
  • Your job is to raise children who stand out by faith.
  • 00:02:25.569 --> 00:02:29.272
  • You stand out.
  • 00:02:29.606 --> 00:02:31.174
  • So you're raising children who stand out?
  • 00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:33.276
  • Yes. the world will come against that.
  • 00:02:33.276 --> 00:02:35.245
  • But you're standing out by faith because you've been set apart.
  • 00:02:35.245 --> 00:02:38.248
  • You've been made holy.
  • 00:02:38.248 --> 00:02:39.649
  • And you're standing firm in your faith.
  • 00:02:39.649 --> 00:02:41.418
  • Like daniel in the lion's den.
  • 00:02:41.418 --> 00:02:43.486
  • It doesn't matter how loud the the world roars.
  • 00:02:43.486 --> 00:02:47.224
  • It doesn't matter.
  • 00:02:47.657 --> 00:02:49.492
  • God is with you.
  • 00:02:49.893 --> 00:02:52.329
  • And let me just share very quickly a personal experiences.
  • 00:02:52.329 --> 00:02:55.365
  • You know how many times my mother prayed over me?
  • 00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:59.769
  • So many times, she prayed over me,
  • 00:02:59.769 --> 00:03:02.105
  • Even though i rolled my eyes at her over and over again.
  • 00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:05.041
  • When she asked me what i learned that day at church.
  • 00:03:05.041 --> 00:03:07.377
  • I don't know.
  • 00:03:07.377 --> 00:03:09.479
  • I was drawing a picture of mom like, i don't know, you know?
  • 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.750
  • And she made me watch every christian movie
  • 00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:16.052
  • That was ever made.
  • 00:03:16.052 --> 00:03:17.654
  • They weren't even that good back then.
  • 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.055
  • They're really good now.
  • 00:03:19.055 --> 00:03:20.624
  • But back then they weren't that good.
  • 00:03:20.624 --> 00:03:23.159
  • And let me make this clear, okay?
  • 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.527
  • This ministry would not be here today
  • 00:03:24.527 --> 00:03:26.396
  • If it wasn't for my wife's ministry in our home.
  • 00:03:26.396 --> 00:03:29.733
  • But the way my wife,
  • 00:03:29.733 --> 00:03:31.568
  • Provides and loves and our children and blesses
  • 00:03:31.568 --> 00:03:34.738
  • Our children and pours into our children
  • 00:03:34.738 --> 00:03:36.906
  • The way she teaches them, the words she brings.
  • 00:03:36.906 --> 00:03:40.143
  • Listen, there is a security there
  • 00:03:40.143 --> 00:03:42.345
  • That allows me to preach the word of god up here
  • 00:03:42.345 --> 00:03:45.282
  • Because she's investing into their life.
  • 00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:48.351
  • She loves them and they know her love.
  • 00:03:48.351 --> 00:03:50.720
  • None of us are perfect.
  • 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:52.055
  • But i just want to remind you you're making a difference.
  • 00:03:52.055 --> 00:03:55.558
  • So don't let the world steal that joy from you.
  • 00:03:56.493 --> 00:03:59.462
  • Because your children are watching.
  • 00:03:59.462 --> 00:04:02.966
  • They are.
  • 00:04:03.266 --> 00:04:03.967
  • They're watching how you react,
  • 00:04:03.967 --> 00:04:06.269
  • How you talk, how you handle stressful situations.
  • 00:04:06.269 --> 00:04:10.173
  • And so don't let the world convince you to stop standing up
  • 00:04:10.173 --> 00:04:12.509
  • By faith.
  • 00:04:12.509 --> 00:04:14.110
  • It's not a bad thing to stand up
  • 00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:16.980
  • When you're doing it for the lord.
  • 00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:18.848
  • Keep going. okay.
  • 00:04:18.848 --> 00:04:21.618
  • Point him to is this
  • 00:04:21.618 --> 00:04:23.520
  • Favor will put you in high places,
  • 00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:26.189
  • But it will bring pressure.
  • 00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:29.125
  • A lot of us want a position,
  • 00:04:29.125 --> 00:04:31.828
  • But none of us want the pressure that comes with the position.
  • 00:04:31.828 --> 00:04:34.230
  • Sometimes what god has for you can be very difficult.
  • 00:04:35.231 --> 00:04:37.701
  • So let's keep reading daniel chapter six, verse ten.
  • 00:04:37.701 --> 00:04:41.338
  • Daniel always prayed to god.
  • 00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:45.241
  • This is his character. he prayed to god
  • 00:04:45.241 --> 00:04:47.043
  • Three times every day, three times every day.
  • 00:04:47.043 --> 00:04:50.046
  • He bowed down on his knees to pray and praise god.
  • 00:04:50.046 --> 00:04:53.950
  • Even though daniel heard about the new law.
  • 00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:57.287
  • Now hold up.
  • 00:04:57.287 --> 00:05:00.490
  • You mean his situation
  • 00:05:00.957 --> 00:05:02.092
  • Didn't change his character?
  • 00:05:02.092 --> 00:05:05.395
  • You mean what was happening
  • 00:05:05.395 --> 00:05:06.629
  • In his environment to make him run away from god?
  • 00:05:06.629 --> 00:05:09.899
  • No. he did this every single day.
  • 00:05:10.633 --> 00:05:12.435
  • This was the place where he met with god.
  • 00:05:12.435 --> 00:05:16.005
  • Do you have a place like that?
  • 00:05:16.606 --> 00:05:19.709
  • You have a place in your home where you just meet with god
  • 00:05:19.709 --> 00:05:22.078
  • And you pray. and some days it's a good one
  • 00:05:22.078 --> 00:05:24.514
  • And some days it's a hard one.
  • 00:05:25.115 --> 00:05:27.617
  • But i love this about daniel is that he heard the news
  • 00:05:27.617 --> 00:05:30.553
  • Of the law,
  • 00:05:30.553 --> 00:05:31.621
  • But he still went to his house to pray
  • 00:05:31.621 --> 00:05:35.191
  • And he went to the upper room of his house.
  • 00:05:35.191 --> 00:05:37.260
  • Now, i want you to underline this.
  • 00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:38.828
  • It's really hard for me not to preach on this year
  • 00:05:38.828 --> 00:05:40.630
  • Because i'm about to get into it.
  • 00:05:40.630 --> 00:05:41.998
  • But in the upper room, what did he do?
  • 00:05:41.998 --> 00:05:43.533
  • He opened the windows that face toward jerusalem.
  • 00:05:43.533 --> 00:05:47.871
  • Then daniel bowed down on his knees
  • 00:05:47.871 --> 00:05:50.874
  • And he prayed, just as he always had done.
  • 00:05:50.874 --> 00:05:55.111
  • It didn't matter what was happening in the culture.
  • 00:05:55.111 --> 00:05:58.415
  • It didn't matter what was attacking him.
  • 00:05:58.415 --> 00:06:00.750
  • He still found a reason to pray and praise god.
  • 00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:04.587
  • Now, a lot of translations state this.
  • 00:06:05.422 --> 00:06:08.258
  • Now this shocked me. i think this is cool.
  • 00:06:08.258 --> 00:06:10.593
  • I would believe okay,
  • 00:06:10.593 --> 00:06:12.462
  • Or i would think of myself in this situation
  • 00:06:12.462 --> 00:06:14.497
  • To be praying panicked prayers like,
  • 00:06:14.497 --> 00:06:17.167
  • Oh god, oh god, did you hear like what's going to happen?
  • 00:06:17.167 --> 00:06:19.169
  • Like, i don't want to die.
  • 00:06:19.169 --> 00:06:20.036
  • Don't feed me the lions.
  • 00:06:20.036 --> 00:06:20.970
  • That's not the way i want to die,
  • 00:06:20.970 --> 00:06:21.938
  • You know, like like, please help me.
  • 00:06:21.938 --> 00:06:23.973
  • Did you know a lot of your translations
  • 00:06:24.774 --> 00:06:27.043
  • State and especially the amplified version?
  • 00:06:27.043 --> 00:06:29.279
  • I don't have it on the screen,
  • 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.480
  • But it states this
  • 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:31.681
  • That he came into the presence of god, and he thanked god.
  • 00:06:31.681 --> 00:06:35.318
  • Oh, what does that mean?
  • 00:06:35.852 --> 00:06:40.023
  • What do you mean?
  • 00:06:40.457 --> 00:06:41.057
  • Like he's about to die
  • 00:06:41.057 --> 00:06:44.027
  • And he's not complaining.
  • 00:06:44.027 --> 00:06:46.329
  • He's not asking god to just, you know, do all these things.
  • 00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:49.098
  • He's just thanking god.
  • 00:06:49.098 --> 00:06:50.300
  • God, you're so good.
  • 00:06:50.300 --> 00:06:52.669
  • You're so amazing.
  • 00:06:52.669 --> 00:06:53.970
  • You're so wonderful.
  • 00:06:53.970 --> 00:06:55.238
  • I know this situation is terrible, but, god,
  • 00:06:55.238 --> 00:06:59.008
  • You are still good.
  • 00:06:59.008 --> 00:07:00.210
  • Daniel always found a reason to praise and to thank god.
  • 00:07:00.210 --> 00:07:05.882
  • Meaning, no matter how bad it gets, how stressful it may seem.
  • 00:07:05.882 --> 00:07:10.587
  • Find that place
  • 00:07:10.587 --> 00:07:12.388
  • And allow your heart to be open to god and thank him.
  • 00:07:12.388 --> 00:07:15.258
  • Because there's still breath in your lungs.
  • 00:07:15.258 --> 00:07:17.894
  • There's still tomorrow.
  • 00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:20.463
  • There's still god moving through you.
  • 00:07:20.463 --> 00:07:23.032
  • You're not finished.
  • 00:07:23.032 --> 00:07:26.069
  • Please believe that
  • 00:07:26.069 --> 00:07:28.872
  • You're not finished.
  • 00:07:28.872 --> 00:07:31.140
  • Some of you are ready to give up so quickly.
  • 00:07:31.140 --> 00:07:33.643
  • No fight.
  • 00:07:33.643 --> 00:07:36.779
  • It's worth it in the end.
  • 00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:39.983
  • And also this.
  • 00:07:39.983 --> 00:07:41.184
  • Let me ask you this question.
  • 00:07:41.184 --> 00:07:42.085
  • How do you respond
  • 00:07:42.085 --> 00:07:43.987
  • When your faith is tested?
  • 00:07:43.987 --> 00:07:46.489
  • What do you normally do?
  • 00:07:46.489 --> 00:07:48.725
  • Many of us we blame god,
  • 00:07:48.725 --> 00:07:51.160
  • Or we allow the enemy or even our flesh to use our mouth.
  • 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.097
  • We tear people down.
  • 00:07:54.097 --> 00:07:56.099
  • Maybe your biggest battles with yourself.
  • 00:07:56.099 --> 00:07:59.269
  • Maybe if you honest right now, in the presence of god,
  • 00:08:00.303 --> 00:08:02.672
  • You don't like yourself
  • 00:08:02.672 --> 00:08:03.706
  • Or you're battling yourself or your past mistakes.
  • 00:08:03.706 --> 00:08:06.142
  • Listen, jesus has made you clean today.
  • 00:08:06.142 --> 00:08:09.312
  • You can run down to this altar and you can just
  • 00:08:10.246 --> 00:08:12.248
  • Pray, god, just take it all.
  • 00:08:12.248 --> 00:08:13.683
  • I pour myself out before you completely.
  • 00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:17.887
  • Okay?
  • 00:08:18.121 --> 00:08:19.956
  • But daniel taught us that god is to worthy to be praised.
  • 00:08:19.956 --> 00:08:22.191
  • And then i want you to see this because
  • 00:08:22.191 --> 00:08:25.061
  • Life is going to attack you.
  • 00:08:25.061 --> 00:08:26.129
  • But don't
  • 00:08:26.129 --> 00:08:27.330
  • Allow the jealousy of others to steal your worship away.
  • 00:08:27.330 --> 00:08:29.699
  • That's exactly what they want.
  • 00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:32.735
  • Like if people are trying to get under your skin,
  • 00:08:32.735 --> 00:08:34.537
  • They want to steal away your praises to god.
  • 00:08:34.537 --> 00:08:37.440
  • They want to take away your joy.
  • 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.875
  • Why would you give them that power?
  • 00:08:38.875 --> 00:08:41.344
  • Why would you give the devil that power?
  • 00:08:41.344 --> 00:08:43.112
  • Keep praising jesus
  • 00:08:43.112 --> 00:08:45.415
  • Because the devil
  • 00:08:45.415 --> 00:08:46.416
  • Can't take away your joy that comes from above.
  • 00:08:46.416 --> 00:08:49.319
  • But here's here's my favorite part.
  • 00:08:49.319 --> 00:08:50.920
  • Did you notice what he did?
  • 00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:53.456
  • He didn't go and pray in secret.
  • 00:08:53.456 --> 00:08:55.892
  • What did he do?
  • 00:08:55.892 --> 00:08:57.093
  • He opened the window that faced jerusalem.
  • 00:08:57.093 --> 00:09:00.964
  • Daniel is a savage.
  • 00:09:00.964 --> 00:09:03.299
  • But you see this in the story.
  • 00:09:03.900 --> 00:09:05.168
  • He goes up there and he's like, let me open up the window.
  • 00:09:05.168 --> 00:09:08.905
  • Hey, i'll even put some air fresheners up here.
  • 00:09:08.905 --> 00:09:11.074
  • Light some candles.
  • 00:09:11.074 --> 00:09:12.408
  • I want everybody to see this.
  • 00:09:12.408 --> 00:09:13.610
  • And he prayed as it was facing jerusalem.
  • 00:09:13.610 --> 00:09:18.214
  • He prayed he knew everybody would see him.
  • 00:09:18.214 --> 00:09:20.583
  • He didn't allow
  • 00:09:20.583 --> 00:09:21.618
  • The jealous people to silence his worship either.
  • 00:09:21.618 --> 00:09:24.754
  • To silence how he was spending time with god.
  • 00:09:25.688 --> 00:09:27.991
  • He would not hide his worship. but listen.
  • 00:09:27.991 --> 00:09:30.893
  • He made that decision a long time ago.
  • 00:09:30.893 --> 00:09:35.198
  • Have you
  • 00:09:35.465 --> 00:09:37.667
  • Have you made that decision today?
  • 00:09:37.667 --> 00:09:40.536
  • No matter what happens, i'm not going to hide my worship.
  • 00:09:40.536 --> 00:09:44.240
  • No matter how hard it hurts, i'm not going to hide my worship.
  • 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:48.177
  • God. i will praise
  • 00:09:48.177 --> 00:09:50.880
  • Even in the midst of a storm.
  • 00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:52.548
  • This is a powerful because so many of you godly
  • 00:09:53.516 --> 00:09:56.486
  • Mothers have been praying with the windows open for years.
  • 00:09:56.486 --> 00:10:01.357
  • Okay, what does that look like?
  • 00:10:01.991 --> 00:10:03.559
  • It means your children have been watching you
  • 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.329
  • When you were still praising and thanking god,
  • 00:10:06.329 --> 00:10:08.965
  • Even though you couldn't pay the bills,
  • 00:10:08.965 --> 00:10:11.701
  • That you were still believing, and the promises of god
  • 00:10:11.701 --> 00:10:14.671
  • Even though you were going through a trial,
  • 00:10:14.671 --> 00:10:16.372
  • That you were still giving
  • 00:10:16.372 --> 00:10:17.440
  • Thanks to god, even though your heart was broken
  • 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.410
  • And shattered in a million pieces.
  • 00:10:21.177 --> 00:10:23.346
  • This is that open window, faith.
  • 00:10:23.346 --> 00:10:25.882
  • You're allowing the entire family to see where you stand.
  • 00:10:25.882 --> 00:10:29.352
  • I made up this decision in my life to praise god.
  • 00:10:29.352 --> 00:10:32.789
  • No matter what life looks like in your children are seeing.
  • 00:10:32.789 --> 00:10:38.161
  • You're building a legacy.
  • 00:10:38.728 --> 00:10:40.963
  • That open
  • 00:10:41.264 --> 00:10:42.231
  • Window of faith is actually leaving a legacy
  • 00:10:42.231 --> 00:10:44.801
  • Your children will never forget.
  • 00:10:44.801 --> 00:10:49.572
  • Like i get it.
  • 00:10:49.906 --> 00:10:50.807
  • Like it brings me such great joy to,
  • 00:10:50.807 --> 00:10:54.177
  • You know, my children are little still.
  • 00:10:54.177 --> 00:10:55.678
  • So like it brings me great joy to get them like a gift, a toy,
  • 00:10:55.678 --> 00:10:59.048
  • You know, they get so excited they scream.
  • 00:10:59.949 --> 00:11:01.984
  • They usually throw something.
  • 00:11:01.984 --> 00:11:03.820
  • I don't know why
  • 00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:05.855
  • I want
  • 00:11:05.855 --> 00:11:07.090
  • To handle their emotions yet, but they're so excited and.
  • 00:11:07.090 --> 00:11:10.359
  • But i realized, like,
  • 00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:13.229
  • One day they're going to forget all that.
  • 00:11:13.229 --> 00:11:16.065
  • Don't forget about the material possessions he gave.
  • 00:11:16.065 --> 00:11:19.202
  • What they will not forget is your faith.
  • 00:11:20.036 --> 00:11:23.539
  • How you believed in the lord,
  • 00:11:24.173 --> 00:11:26.476
  • Even when it was hard,
  • 00:11:26.476 --> 00:11:28.978
  • Even when you felt alone.
  • 00:11:28.978 --> 00:11:31.848
  • I want you to see this, okay?
  • 00:11:31.848 --> 00:11:33.316
  • These men didn't just want to trap daniel, though.
  • 00:11:33.316 --> 00:11:35.852
  • They wanted to kill him
  • 00:11:35.852 --> 00:11:38.321
  • Again.
  • 00:11:38.521 --> 00:11:39.188
  • This is what jealousy does.
  • 00:11:39.188 --> 00:11:40.056
  • Daniel, chapter six, verse 11 and 12.
  • 00:11:40.056 --> 00:11:42.358
  • Then supervisors and satraps went as a group, okay?
  • 00:11:42.358 --> 00:11:46.162
  • And they found daniel praying, asking god for help.
  • 00:11:46.162 --> 00:11:49.165
  • So then they went to the king.
  • 00:11:49.165 --> 00:11:50.633
  • Can it makes me laugh again, because there's over 120 men
  • 00:11:50.633 --> 00:11:53.770
  • Like they went everywhere as a group.
  • 00:11:53.770 --> 00:11:55.705
  • They're looking at daniel and then they all move over there.
  • 00:11:55.705 --> 00:11:57.540
  • I don't know why i'm doing this, but that's just
  • 00:11:57.540 --> 00:11:59.675
  • The way i see it.
  • 00:11:59.675 --> 00:12:01.043
  • And they go up to the king and they're like king darius.
  • 00:12:01.043 --> 00:12:03.179
  • Hey, remember that?
  • 00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:04.213
  • Lord, listen, did you hear what daniel's doing?
  • 00:12:04.213 --> 00:12:06.816
  • He's worshiping god.
  • 00:12:06.816 --> 00:12:08.017
  • He's got the windows open is complete.
  • 00:12:08.017 --> 00:12:10.620
  • Just disrespect you.
  • 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:13.523
  • Verse 14 to 16, please hear this. so
  • 00:12:13.523 --> 00:12:16.859
  • The king became very sad
  • 00:12:16.859 --> 00:12:18.594
  • And upset when he heard this.
  • 00:12:19.228 --> 00:12:21.898
  • He was not angry at daniel.
  • 00:12:21.898 --> 00:12:24.433
  • He was angry at himself for being a fool.
  • 00:12:24.433 --> 00:12:29.238
  • And maybe you have felt that way too.
  • 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.009
  • Listen, god can still use you.
  • 00:12:33.009 --> 00:12:35.444
  • And so what did he do?
  • 00:12:35.444 --> 00:12:36.312
  • He decided to save daniel
  • 00:12:36.312 --> 00:12:37.947
  • Because he knew that they manipulated him.
  • 00:12:37.947 --> 00:12:41.217
  • They knew that he knew that what he signed
  • 00:12:41.217 --> 00:12:42.919
  • Was because of his vanity.
  • 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.220
  • And he gave in to it,
  • 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:45.188
  • And he just lost sight of what could happen.
  • 00:12:45.188 --> 00:12:47.590
  • And so he worked until sunset trying to think of a way
  • 00:12:47.590 --> 00:12:51.360
  • To save him.
  • 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.395
  • He literally spent all night long as the king.
  • 00:12:52.395 --> 00:12:55.531
  • But the difference between the middle
  • 00:12:55.531 --> 00:12:56.699
  • Persian empire and babylon
  • 00:12:56.699 --> 00:12:58.534
  • Is that in babylon, nebuchadnezzar
  • 00:12:58.534 --> 00:12:59.936
  • Can make any decision he wanted to make.
  • 00:12:59.936 --> 00:13:02.238
  • It's not so here, okay?
  • 00:13:02.238 --> 00:13:03.606
  • If something was proposed
  • 00:13:03.606 --> 00:13:05.341
  • And signed and documented, you couldn't revoke it.
  • 00:13:05.341 --> 00:13:09.212
  • It was the law now. and he knew this.
  • 00:13:09.212 --> 00:13:11.214
  • And so the men
  • 00:13:11.214 --> 00:13:12.415
  • Went as a group to the king and said, hey, remember, king,
  • 00:13:12.415 --> 00:13:15.484
  • That the law of the medes and the person says, no law
  • 00:13:15.484 --> 00:13:18.054
  • Or command signed by the king can be canceled or changed.
  • 00:13:18.054 --> 00:13:22.258
  • So king darius gave the order.
  • 00:13:22.859 --> 00:13:26.662
  • He's a man of his word
  • 00:13:27.129 --> 00:13:30.066
  • Is a leader.
  • 00:13:30.066 --> 00:13:31.934
  • He's hurting.
  • 00:13:31.934 --> 00:13:34.503
  • But he believes in daniel's god as well.
  • 00:13:34.503 --> 00:13:37.440
  • And they brought daniel,
  • 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:38.341
  • And they threw him into the lion's den.
  • 00:13:38.341 --> 00:13:39.642
  • And the king said to daniel, may the god you serve save you.
  • 00:13:39.642 --> 00:13:44.013
  • I just want you to see the evangelistic mission of daniel.
  • 00:13:45.147 --> 00:13:48.184
  • Everywhere he went,
  • 00:13:48.184 --> 00:13:50.553
  • Nebuchadnezzar praised yahweh,
  • 00:13:50.553 --> 00:13:53.422
  • And now king darius is praising yahweh.
  • 00:13:53.422 --> 00:13:56.325
  • We don't know if he was a believer.
  • 00:13:56.325 --> 00:13:57.493
  • We don't know that.
  • 00:13:57.493 --> 00:13:58.361
  • But he recognizes the power of god.
  • 00:13:58.361 --> 00:14:01.497
  • But listen, jealousy is more than a feeling.
  • 00:14:01.497 --> 00:14:04.934
  • It is a demon that wants to destroy everything in its power.
  • 00:14:04.934 --> 00:14:08.738
  • Jealousy doesn't just want your position.
  • 00:14:09.605 --> 00:14:11.841
  • Listen, it wants your elimination.
  • 00:14:11.841 --> 00:14:14.610
  • We see this with cain and abel.
  • 00:14:14.610 --> 00:14:16.078
  • Cain was so jealous of abel. he wanted him dead.
  • 00:14:16.078 --> 00:14:19.048
  • He was consumed by that jealousy.
  • 00:14:19.048 --> 00:14:21.817
  • And here's the hard truth.
  • 00:14:21.817 --> 00:14:23.552
  • People will come after you
  • 00:14:23.552 --> 00:14:25.421
  • Not because you have done something wrong,
  • 00:14:25.421 --> 00:14:27.857
  • But because you're actually doing something right.
  • 00:14:28.858 --> 00:14:32.061
  • And the lord is bringing you favor.
  • 00:14:32.061 --> 00:14:34.563
  • James 315 and 16 for jealousy
  • 00:14:34.563 --> 00:14:37.300
  • And selfishness are not god's kind of wisdom.
  • 00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:41.337
  • Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and what
  • 00:14:41.337 --> 00:14:45.041
  • Demon ic it is demonic
  • 00:14:45.508 --> 00:14:48.778
  • To be consumed by jealousy and selfish ambition.
  • 00:14:48.778 --> 00:14:52.515
  • Now listen to this.
  • 00:14:52.515 --> 00:14:53.616
  • Here's a revelation for some of us today.
  • 00:14:53.616 --> 00:14:55.785
  • That's why you will find every kind of disorder
  • 00:14:55.785 --> 00:14:59.221
  • Of evil, of every kind.
  • 00:14:59.722 --> 00:15:01.190
  • Is there disorder right now in your family?
  • 00:15:01.190 --> 00:15:05.161
  • Is there disorder right now in your marriage?
  • 00:15:05.161 --> 00:15:07.930
  • Could it be because you are a jealous person over everything
  • 00:15:07.930 --> 00:15:11.901
  • And you have some hurt that has not been healed?
  • 00:15:11.901 --> 00:15:15.738
  • Are other people jealous of you and they keep hurting you?
  • 00:15:15.738 --> 00:15:19.175
  • Listen, i'm telling you, you can give it over to god.
  • 00:15:19.175 --> 00:15:22.178
  • But jealousy is so dark that people will smile
  • 00:15:22.178 --> 00:15:25.815
  • In your face, but on the inside wish for your downfall.
  • 00:15:25.815 --> 00:15:30.152
  • You don't always know who's wishing that, but god does.
  • 00:15:30.152 --> 00:15:33.422
  • That's why you can rest.
  • 00:15:33.956 --> 00:15:36.325
  • That's why you can have peace.
  • 00:15:36.926 --> 00:15:39.495
  • You can't tell.
  • 00:15:39.495 --> 00:15:41.230
  • But god sees through everybody.
  • 00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:44.400
  • And so this leads to my last point, which is this
  • 00:15:44.400 --> 00:15:47.937
  • The same god who allowed the pit
  • 00:15:47.937 --> 00:15:50.806
  • Will also shut the mouths that are in it.
  • 00:15:50.806 --> 00:15:54.577
  • God doesn't have to rescue you from everything.
  • 00:15:55.511 --> 00:15:59.081
  • I do want to make that clear.
  • 00:15:59.081 --> 00:16:01.684
  • Like, for him to be good
  • 00:16:01.684 --> 00:16:03.185
  • Doesn't mean
  • 00:16:03.185 --> 00:16:04.120
  • That he has to rescue you from everything
  • 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.388
  • And make your life completely comfortable.
  • 00:16:05.388 --> 00:16:08.357
  • In fact, even when you're in the pit,
  • 00:16:08.357 --> 00:16:09.625
  • God doesn't have to save you from it.
  • 00:16:09.625 --> 00:16:12.762
  • And we see this world.
  • 00:16:13.229 --> 00:16:15.631
  • It's a broken world, and we see tragedies at times.
  • 00:16:15.631 --> 00:16:19.769
  • But god is still in control and he's still good.
  • 00:16:20.770 --> 00:16:24.440
  • But there is a thing that we can learn that, yes, jealousy.
  • 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.876
  • Put daniel in the pit.
  • 00:16:26.876 --> 00:16:29.245
  • But whatever others have used
  • 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:31.280
  • To plan to kill you, god will use to develop you.
  • 00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:35.484
  • As god developing you right now.
  • 00:16:36.118 --> 00:16:39.789
  • I don't like how it feels, pastor.
  • 00:16:39.789 --> 00:16:41.190
  • Nobody does.
  • 00:16:41.190 --> 00:16:45.995
  • Trust me.
  • 00:16:43.859 --> 00:16:47.930
  • But god is maturing your faith.
  • 00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:51.000
  • So let's continue here.
  • 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:51.867
  • Daniel 619 through 22.
  • 00:16:51.867 --> 00:16:53.369
  • The next morning, king darius
  • 00:16:53.369 --> 00:16:55.104
  • Got up as it was getting light, and he ran into the lion's den.
  • 00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:57.840
  • This how eager he was to see if daniel, his friend, was okay,
  • 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.977
  • And he was worried.
  • 00:17:02.445 --> 00:17:03.446
  • And when he got to the lion's den,
  • 00:17:03.446 --> 00:17:04.680
  • He called to daniel, and he said, daniel,
  • 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:06.749
  • Servant of the living god, has your god been able
  • 00:17:06.749 --> 00:17:09.585
  • To save you from the lions?
  • 00:17:09.585 --> 00:17:13.189
  • Because i know that you always serve your god.
  • 00:17:13.189 --> 00:17:16.358
  • I know that your god can because of your faith.
  • 00:17:16.358 --> 00:17:18.928
  • I've seen your faith.
  • 00:17:18.928 --> 00:17:19.962
  • Daniel did the trials and imagine how he felt
  • 00:17:19.962 --> 00:17:23.232
  • When he heard daniel's voice from the pit.
  • 00:17:23.232 --> 00:17:26.669
  • Me from the den, daniel answered.
  • 00:17:26.669 --> 00:17:29.138
  • King, live forever.
  • 00:17:29.138 --> 00:17:32.908
  • My god, i
  • 00:17:33.209 --> 00:17:34.143
  • Love this has sent an angel to save me.
  • 00:17:34.143 --> 00:17:37.179
  • And the angel closed the lion's mouth.
  • 00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:40.516
  • The lions have not hurt me because my god knows that
  • 00:17:40.516 --> 00:17:43.886
  • I am innocent.
  • 00:17:43.886 --> 00:17:45.054
  • You have no idea how many times god has sent angels
  • 00:17:45.054 --> 00:17:48.591
  • To encamp around you,
  • 00:17:48.591 --> 00:17:49.892
  • To protect you and shut up the demons around you,
  • 00:17:49.892 --> 00:17:53.562
  • Or how many times god has shut up the mouths of others
  • 00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:57.666
  • That want to come against you
  • 00:17:57.666 --> 00:17:58.901
  • And accuse
  • 00:17:58.901 --> 00:17:59.835
  • You and find something wrong in your life
  • 00:17:59.835 --> 00:18:01.403
  • Because you're living for the lord,
  • 00:18:01.403 --> 00:18:02.771
  • And there's favor over you.
  • 00:18:02.771 --> 00:18:04.240
  • You can be in the den.
  • 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.543
  • And god be with you.
  • 00:18:08.010 --> 00:18:10.980
  • And there's a miracle sometimes
  • 00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:13.516
  • That we need to learn in the den.
  • 00:18:13.516 --> 00:18:15.518
  • And you can't learn it from your comfort.
  • 00:18:15.518 --> 00:18:17.386
  • You can't learn it from never having trouble in your life.
  • 00:18:17.386 --> 00:18:19.889
  • You have to go through it.
  • 00:18:19.889 --> 00:18:22.925
  • The angel of the lord.
  • 00:18:23.392 --> 00:18:24.260
  • Shut up the mouth of the lions.
  • 00:18:24.260 --> 00:18:26.929
  • Verse 24.
  • 00:18:26.929 --> 00:18:27.863
  • Then the king gave a command
  • 00:18:27.863 --> 00:18:29.765
  • To bring the men who had accused daniel
  • 00:18:29.765 --> 00:18:32.067
  • To the lion's den, and the men and their wives
  • 00:18:32.067 --> 00:18:34.637
  • And their children were thrown into the lion's den.
  • 00:18:34.637 --> 00:18:37.606
  • The lions grabbed them before they hit the floor
  • 00:18:37.606 --> 00:18:40.643
  • And ate them toward them apart. now
  • 00:18:40.643 --> 00:18:43.779
  • I want to make this very clear.
  • 00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.880
  • Manipulation affects the entire family.
  • 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.584
  • Jealousy affects the entire family.
  • 00:18:49.351 --> 00:18:55.558
  • It's not just you.
  • 00:18:53.322 --> 00:18:57.259
  • It will tear everybody apart.
  • 00:18:57.259 --> 00:18:59.094
  • But also i want you to see this.
  • 00:18:59.094 --> 00:19:00.963
  • In the day that they were living,
  • 00:19:00.963 --> 00:19:01.997
  • This was actually the middle persian law, okay?
  • 00:19:01.997 --> 00:19:04.567
  • Because the king felt that he was manipulated by these men.
  • 00:19:04.567 --> 00:19:08.304
  • It was actually the persian law to not only throw the men
  • 00:19:08.304 --> 00:19:11.907
  • And punish them,
  • 00:19:11.907 --> 00:19:13.008
  • But also to throw in their wives and their children.
  • 00:19:13.008 --> 00:19:14.910
  • It's a horrific sight.
  • 00:19:14.910 --> 00:19:16.879
  • But it was the law of the persians.
  • 00:19:17.613 --> 00:19:20.549
  • But the truth is, again,
  • 00:19:20.549 --> 00:19:22.384
  • God didn't keep daniel away from the den,
  • 00:19:22.384 --> 00:19:24.320
  • But he also didn't face the den alone.
  • 00:19:24.320 --> 00:19:28.290
  • So why are you.
  • 00:19:28.657 --> 00:19:31.293
  • What are you in?
  • 00:19:31.293 --> 00:19:34.063
  • But are you facing.
  • 00:19:34.063 --> 00:19:37.233
  • But i love is actually the words of king darius.
  • 00:19:37.233 --> 00:19:39.535
  • At the end of this
  • 00:19:39.535 --> 00:19:41.637
  • Verse 26 and 27,
  • 00:19:41.637 --> 00:19:44.406
  • He stated that daniel's god is the living god,
  • 00:19:44.406 --> 00:19:48.043
  • And he lives forever, and his kingdom
  • 00:19:48.043 --> 00:19:50.779
  • Will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end.
  • 00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:55.284
  • And god helps and saves people.
  • 00:19:55.284 --> 00:19:57.419
  • He does amazing miracles in heaven and on earth.
  • 00:19:57.419 --> 00:20:01.190
  • And he saved daniel from the lions.
  • 00:20:01.190 --> 00:20:06.161
  • You better believe
  • 00:20:06.595 --> 00:20:08.497
  • He can save you from your situation.
  • 00:20:08.497 --> 00:20:12.601
  • He can rescue you from being in the den.
  • 00:20:13.435 --> 00:20:17.373
  • But also remember what meshach and abednego said
  • 00:20:17.373 --> 00:20:20.709
  • When they stood up to king nebuchadnezzar.
  • 00:20:21.577 --> 00:20:23.112
  • They stated, i know my god can,
  • 00:20:23.112 --> 00:20:26.615
  • But even if he doesn't, meaning
  • 00:20:26.615 --> 00:20:28.484
  • Even if it's not his will,
  • 00:20:28.484 --> 00:20:31.620
  • He is still worthy to be praised
  • 00:20:31.620 --> 00:20:34.189
  • And he is still in control.
  • 00:20:34.189 --> 00:20:38.494
  • You don't have control.
  • 00:20:38.994 --> 00:20:41.096
  • You never will.
  • 00:20:41.096 --> 00:20:41.964
  • Don't place that burden on yourself.
  • 00:20:41.964 --> 00:20:43.799
  • Stop!
  • 00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:44.500
  • It would drive you crazy.
  • 00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:47.236
  • You can release it and give it over to the lord today.
  • 00:20:47.236 --> 00:20:51.006
  • But let me encourage all the the godly mothers in the room.
  • 00:20:51.006 --> 00:20:53.142
  • Right now i'm watching online.
  • 00:20:53.142 --> 00:20:55.978
  • God is using you.
  • 00:20:55.978 --> 00:20:58.647
  • Nobody's perfect except for jesus.
  • 00:20:58.647 --> 00:21:00.849
  • Okay?
  • 00:21:00.849 --> 00:21:02.284
  • None of us are perfect.
  • 00:21:02.284 --> 00:21:03.385
  • You will make mistakes, but god is still using you.
  • 00:21:03.385 --> 00:21:05.721
  • Don't give up on that.
  • 00:21:05.721 --> 00:21:08.724
  • Don't cut it short.
  • 00:21:08.724 --> 00:21:09.625
  • You're still building a legacy of faith.
  • 00:21:09.625 --> 00:21:12.194
  • You're breaking generational curses.
  • 00:21:12.194 --> 00:21:14.263
  • It's not easy.
  • 00:21:14.263 --> 00:21:15.497
  • You're changing the love in your family.
  • 00:21:16.332 --> 00:21:18.000
  • That's not easy, but it's not on you.
  • 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.737
  • It's on him
  • 00:21:22.071 --> 00:21:23.872
  • To rest in that.
  • 00:21:23.872 --> 00:21:25.708
  • This ministry has bless you or help build your faith.
  • 00:21:25.708 --> 00:21:29.144
  • I'm going to ask you right now to consider partnering with us.
  • 00:21:29.144 --> 00:21:32.614
  • And if you want to become a partner,
  • 00:21:32.614 --> 00:21:34.283
  • All you have to do is give to bobby chandler, dawg.
  • 00:21:34.283 --> 00:21:37.152
  • And it helps our ministry reach people all over the world
  • 00:21:37.152 --> 00:21:40.222
  • For the kingdom of god.
  • 00:21:40.222 --> 00:21:41.724
  • See, it's not just a donation, but it's actually a declaration
  • 00:21:41.724 --> 00:21:45.060
  • That god comes first in your life,
  • 00:21:45.060 --> 00:21:47.696
  • That he is number one and that he is in control.
  • 00:21:47.696 --> 00:21:50.699
  • And every giving that comes into this ministry
  • 00:21:50.699 --> 00:21:53.435
  • Helps us broadcast the good news of the gospel of jesus christ
  • 00:21:53.435 --> 00:21:57.172
  • All over the world, reaching homes,
  • 00:21:57.172 --> 00:21:58.974
  • Even in different countries.
  • 00:21:58.974 --> 00:22:00.642
  • And also it helps us reach people here
  • 00:22:00.642 --> 00:22:02.444
  • In our community, help people who are in need
  • 00:22:02.444 --> 00:22:05.514
  • And who need to know the love of god and something
  • 00:22:05.514 --> 00:22:08.851
  • That we're unashamed about here in this ministry.
  • 00:22:08.851 --> 00:22:11.253
  • It's preaching the truth of god's word.
  • 00:22:11.253 --> 00:22:14.156
  • So every time you give, it allows us to preach the truth
  • 00:22:14.156 --> 00:22:17.760
  • Unashamed, allowing people to see freedom
  • 00:22:17.760 --> 00:22:21.830
  • Chains falling off from generational curses
  • 00:22:21.830 --> 00:22:24.700
  • Because of the spirit of god, because of where
  • 00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:27.202
  • The spirit of the lord is, there is freedom.
  • 00:22:27.202 --> 00:22:31.540
  • And when you give, it helps us reach our mission
  • 00:22:31.540 --> 00:22:34.410
  • To have people encounter god, to grow in christ
  • 00:22:34.410 --> 00:22:38.514
  • And be set free by jesus christ.
  • 00:22:38.514 --> 00:22:42.117
  • And so again, i want to thank you
  • 00:22:42.117 --> 00:22:44.019
  • And ask you to pray about it.
  • 00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:45.888
  • Do you want to become a partner
  • 00:22:45.888 --> 00:22:47.723
  • And help us reach more people for jesus?
  • 00:22:47.723 --> 00:22:51.160
  • Again, i pray that today's message bless your life.
  • 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.096
  • I'm so thankful that you watched it with this,
  • 00:22:54.096 --> 00:22:56.732
  • And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
  • 00:22:56.732 --> 00:23:00.202
  • If this job doesn't work out for me, what if i move
  • 00:23:00.202 --> 00:23:03.672
  • My life by faith and it all just crumbles to the ground?
  • 00:23:03.672 --> 00:23:07.843
  • What if it works?
  • 00:23:07.843 --> 00:23:09.178
  • What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
  • 00:23:09.178 --> 00:23:12.114
  • But i would rather move by faith
  • 00:23:12.114 --> 00:23:13.916
  • And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
  • 00:23:13.916 --> 00:23:17.786
  • And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
  • 00:23:17.786 --> 00:23:26.261
  • Live.
  • 00:23:26.495 --> 00:23:50.385
  • You know what today is
  • 00:23:50.853 --> 00:23:52.888
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:23:52.888 --> 00:23:56.058
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:23:56.492 --> 00:23:59.695
  • Woo! you better
  • 00:24:00.062 --> 00:24:02.097
  • Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
  • 00:24:02.097 --> 00:24:05.901
  • I came here to remind you.
  • 00:24:06.468 --> 00:24:08.237
  • You need the holy
  • 00:24:08.237 --> 00:24:11.206
  • Spirit. he.
  • 00:24:11.206 --> 00:24:11.206
