Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - When You Feel Trapped (Part 2) | February 5, 2026
- She. and you've been criticized
- 00:00:00.667 --> 00:00:04.462
- Over and over and over again, to the point where now
- 00:00:04.462 --> 00:00:07.565
- You feel like your identity is a mess up
- 00:00:07.565 --> 00:00:10.368
- And you're never going to get there.
- 00:00:10.368 --> 00:00:11.536
- So you've literally traded out for your confidence
- 00:00:11.536 --> 00:00:13.905
- In god and what god can do through you
- 00:00:13.905 --> 00:00:15.606
- Because of the criticism of other people.
- 00:00:15.606 --> 00:00:17.809
- Let me encourage you today.
- 00:00:17.809 --> 00:00:19.477
- Even when you're doing the right things, there will be critics.
- 00:00:19.477 --> 00:00:22.947
- I want to ask you a very real question today.
- 00:00:22.947 --> 00:00:24.849
- Are you struggling with fear?
- 00:00:24.849 --> 00:00:28.619
- I mean, when you wake up in the morning,
- 00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:29.987
- Do you feel like you're having panic attacks
- 00:00:29.987 --> 00:00:32.557
- Just to get through the day?
- 00:00:32.557 --> 00:00:33.858
- Is it just weighing on you
- 00:00:33.858 --> 00:00:35.560
- All this weight and it feels like
- 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.261
- You just keep giving over to the enemy.
- 00:00:37.261 --> 00:00:39.464
- Let me give it over to the enemy,
- 00:00:39.464 --> 00:00:40.998
- And then maybe it will get better.
- 00:00:40.998 --> 00:00:44.402
- But listen, when you let fear lead,
- 00:00:45.169 --> 00:00:48.539
- You start giving to the enemy what belongs to god.
- 00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:52.176
- And it's very easy to judge hezekiah, right?
- 00:00:53.111 --> 00:00:56.747
- Because we know the ending of the story.
- 00:00:56.747 --> 00:00:58.649
- Or at least you're about to.
- 00:00:58.649 --> 00:01:00.751
- But in our own life system, we do the same thing.
- 00:01:00.751 --> 00:01:03.554
- Let me show you some examples of this.
- 00:01:03.554 --> 00:01:05.223
- There have been times in your life
- 00:01:05.223 --> 00:01:06.457
- Where you have handed over peace because worry demanded it.
- 00:01:06.457 --> 00:01:10.061
- You have handed over peace to the enemy
- 00:01:10.061 --> 00:01:12.530
- Because the worry and stress of assignments, subprojects
- 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:16.501
- Of work, of your family, of just pleasing people
- 00:01:16.501 --> 00:01:20.938
- Has overwhelmed you so much that you've given away your peace.
- 00:01:20.938 --> 00:01:26.511
- What about your purity?
- 00:01:27.011 --> 00:01:29.013
- Have you given away your purity
- 00:01:29.013 --> 00:01:30.648
- Just because the world thinks it's foolish to hold on to it?
- 00:01:30.648 --> 00:01:34.452
- From every movie that you see or the songs that you listen to.
- 00:01:34.452 --> 00:01:37.588
- You've given it away because people have laughed at you.
- 00:01:37.588 --> 00:01:40.458
- The world is trying to steal the holiness.
- 00:01:40.458 --> 00:01:45.863
- The blessings
- 00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:46.998
- That god has placed on you.
- 00:01:46.998 --> 00:01:50.034
- Have you
- 00:01:50.034 --> 00:01:51.202
- Handed over your worship just because life's got painful
- 00:01:51.202 --> 00:01:53.871
- Experience and pain right now, i don't know if i could worship.
- 00:01:55.039 --> 00:01:57.275
- Don't let the pain steal your worship away.
- 00:01:57.275 --> 00:02:00.845
- It's in pain that we worship
- 00:02:01.445 --> 00:02:04.582
- Because he is a good god.
- 00:02:04.582 --> 00:02:07.218
- Maybe you handed over your confidence
- 00:02:07.218 --> 00:02:08.819
- Because criticism is all you know.
- 00:02:08.819 --> 00:02:12.690
- And you've been criticized over and over and over again,
- 00:02:12.690 --> 00:02:16.027
- To the point where now
- 00:02:16.027 --> 00:02:16.961
- You feel like your identity is a mess up
- 00:02:16.961 --> 00:02:19.697
- And you're never going to get there.
- 00:02:19.697 --> 00:02:20.865
- So you've literally traded out for your confidence
- 00:02:20.865 --> 00:02:23.234
- In god and what god can do through you
- 00:02:23.234 --> 00:02:24.936
- Because of the criticism of other people.
- 00:02:24.936 --> 00:02:27.138
- Let me encourage you today,
- 00:02:27.138 --> 00:02:28.806
- Even when you're doing the right things, there will be critics
- 00:02:28.806 --> 00:02:32.476
- No matter what you do in life.
- 00:02:33.077 --> 00:02:34.812
- There will be critics.
- 00:02:34.812 --> 00:02:36.781
- In fact, more critics will come when you're living for jesus.
- 00:02:36.781 --> 00:02:39.984
- Because when you live for jesus, people love to talk
- 00:02:39.984 --> 00:02:43.788
- Because you're upsetting the demons, by the way,
- 00:02:43.788 --> 00:02:46.791
- You're setting people free and you're showing people
- 00:02:46.791 --> 00:02:48.559
- There's a better way than all the junk
- 00:02:48.559 --> 00:02:51.395
- That this world is trying to offer people.
- 00:02:51.395 --> 00:02:53.764
- There is a better way.
- 00:02:53.764 --> 00:02:55.099
- Something eternal.
- 00:02:55.099 --> 00:02:57.068
- Do not hand over to the devil.
- 00:02:57.068 --> 00:02:59.670
- What god has trusted to place in your hands.
- 00:02:59.670 --> 00:03:03.374
- What god has placed inside of you.
- 00:03:03.374 --> 00:03:05.376
- Because listen to me.
- 00:03:05.376 --> 00:03:06.210
- What you hand over and in fear
- 00:03:06.210 --> 00:03:08.446
- You will have to fight by faith to get it back.
- 00:03:08.446 --> 00:03:12.016
- What you have handed over to the enemy because of his demands.
- 00:03:13.217 --> 00:03:16.988
- And listen.
- 00:03:16.988 --> 00:03:18.022
- The devil is a thief, right?
- 00:03:18.022 --> 00:03:20.358
- He's a liar.
- 00:03:20.358 --> 00:03:21.525
- Do you really think the devil
- 00:03:21.525 --> 00:03:22.693
- Is going to come into your life and be like, hey, hey,
- 00:03:22.693 --> 00:03:24.495
- Hand over that one thing and we'll be god.
- 00:03:24.495 --> 00:03:27.064
- Hand over that one part of
- 00:03:27.632 --> 00:03:28.966
- Your life to me and we'll be good.
- 00:03:28.966 --> 00:03:31.302
- Just add one thing and i'll leave you alone.
- 00:03:31.302 --> 00:03:33.137
- Do you think the devil is going to leave you alone?
- 00:03:33.137 --> 00:03:35.406
- Listen, if you got a little bit of peace, he wants to take you.
- 00:03:35.406 --> 00:03:38.442
- If you got a little bit of joy, he wants to take you.
- 00:03:38.442 --> 00:03:41.045
- If your marriage is good. he wants to take you.
- 00:03:41.045 --> 00:03:42.980
- If your family is good. he wants to take it.
- 00:03:42.980 --> 00:03:44.849
- If there's something good in your life,
- 00:03:44.849 --> 00:03:46.751
- He wants to take it
- 00:03:46.751 --> 00:03:47.785
- Because he wants you
- 00:03:47.785 --> 00:03:48.686
- To be miserable and destroyed, just like him.
- 00:03:48.686 --> 00:03:52.490
- And so what do you think this king did?
- 00:03:52.490 --> 00:03:54.592
- So hezekiah gives everything over to the assyrian king
- 00:03:54.592 --> 00:03:57.628
- Because he demanded it and he moved by fear.
- 00:03:57.628 --> 00:03:59.897
- But now the king of assyria is like, you know what?
- 00:03:59.897 --> 00:04:02.533
- I like getting paid,
- 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.269
- And i think we can use some more.
- 00:04:05.269 --> 00:04:07.905
- And so the demands kept coming.
- 00:04:07.905 --> 00:04:10.775
- And now he sends his little spokesperson.
- 00:04:10.775 --> 00:04:13.411
- Rabbi sucker is his name.
- 00:04:13.411 --> 00:04:15.746
- And he delivers a threatening message
- 00:04:15.746 --> 00:04:18.282
- To the people of jerusalem and to king hezekiah.
- 00:04:18.282 --> 00:04:21.285
- Now, here's where the enemy really gets inside of your head.
- 00:04:21.285 --> 00:04:24.188
- I want you to hear the words that he says,
- 00:04:24.188 --> 00:04:26.757
- And we're going to break it down. okay?
- 00:04:26.757 --> 00:04:28.492
- Second kings 1825.
- 00:04:28.492 --> 00:04:30.061
- Here's the spokesperson of assyria.
- 00:04:30.061 --> 00:04:32.296
- He said, what's more, do you think we have invaded
- 00:04:32.296 --> 00:04:36.901
- Your land without the lord's direction?
- 00:04:36.901 --> 00:04:40.938
- For the lord himself has told us to attack
- 00:04:40.938 --> 00:04:44.041
- This land and destroy it.
- 00:04:44.041 --> 00:04:47.144
- You know what he's saying.
- 00:04:47.144 --> 00:04:48.546
- Your own god sent us.
- 00:04:48.546 --> 00:04:51.349
- Your god is blessing us, not you.
- 00:04:51.349 --> 00:04:54.218
- Your god has sent us into the land to conquer it.
- 00:04:54.218 --> 00:04:57.855
- Your god is with us.
- 00:04:57.855 --> 00:04:59.323
- He has abandoned you.
- 00:04:59.323 --> 00:05:01.759
- He's no longer with you. he's with us.
- 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.396
- It's a mental game.
- 00:05:05.863 --> 00:05:08.666
- Do you ever go through a trial?
- 00:05:08.666 --> 00:05:10.434
- In the first thought you hear is god is abandoning you.
- 00:05:10.434 --> 00:05:14.038
- God's within now with you.
- 00:05:14.605 --> 00:05:17.108
- You messed up too many times.
- 00:05:17.108 --> 00:05:18.275
- God's. god's over there.
- 00:05:18.275 --> 00:05:19.243
- But he's not over here.
- 00:05:19.243 --> 00:05:21.278
- He's. he's allowing you to be defeated.
- 00:05:21.278 --> 00:05:23.147
- See, he's
- 00:05:23.147 --> 00:05:24.348
- Trying to get into his head because this man is a liar.
- 00:05:24.348 --> 00:05:27.885
- Now, listen to this.
- 00:05:27.885 --> 00:05:29.687
- Second kings 1828 235
- 00:05:29.687 --> 00:05:32.123
- Then the chief of staff stood and shouted, now,
- 00:05:32.123 --> 00:05:34.658
- Now, not only is he
- 00:05:34.658 --> 00:05:36.060
- Speaking in his own language, but he starts to speak in hebrew
- 00:05:36.060 --> 00:05:39.263
- Because they're at jerusalem.
- 00:05:39.897 --> 00:05:41.132
- So he wants the people in the wall to be able to hear
- 00:05:41.132 --> 00:05:43.834
- And their own language, what he's stating here.
- 00:05:43.834 --> 00:05:46.971
- So we start speaking in hebrew, and here's what he says.
- 00:05:46.971 --> 00:05:51.041
- Listen to the message from the great king of assyria.
- 00:05:52.109 --> 00:05:55.079
- This is what the king says.
- 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:56.447
- Don't let hezekiah deceive you.
- 00:05:56.447 --> 00:05:59.917
- He will never be able to rescue you from my power.
- 00:05:59.917 --> 00:06:03.954
- This is not right there.
- 00:06:04.488 --> 00:06:06.090
- He will never be able to rescue you from my power.
- 00:06:06.090 --> 00:06:09.660
- Now, here's the big one.
- 00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:10.694
- Don't let him fool you into trusting
- 00:06:10.694 --> 00:06:13.731
- The lord god
- 00:06:14.064 --> 00:06:16.434
- By saying, the lord will surely rescue us, and the city
- 00:06:16.434 --> 00:06:20.538
- Will not fall into the hands of the assyrian king.
- 00:06:20.538 --> 00:06:23.841
- Okay, so notice what he's doing here.
- 00:06:24.642 --> 00:06:27.311
- He's using god's name like god is on their side.
- 00:06:27.311 --> 00:06:31.582
- Did you know that's also using the lord's name in vain?
- 00:06:31.582 --> 00:06:35.286
- That's what it also means to use the lord's name in vain.
- 00:06:35.286 --> 00:06:37.388
- It means that you're using god's
- 00:06:37.388 --> 00:06:38.823
- Name to manipulate the situation or manipulate a person.
- 00:06:38.823 --> 00:06:42.760
- Maybe you've had a conversation like that
- 00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:44.695
- Where somebody was clearly off,
- 00:06:44.695 --> 00:06:46.530
- But they kept telling you, no, no, no.
- 00:06:46.530 --> 00:06:47.965
- God told me to do this.
- 00:06:47.965 --> 00:06:49.733
- God is on my side.
- 00:06:49.733 --> 00:06:50.868
- And clearly it goes against god's character
- 00:06:50.868 --> 00:06:52.837
- And it goes against the word of god did not come from god,
- 00:06:52.837 --> 00:06:55.372
- Okay? it's demonic.
- 00:06:55.372 --> 00:06:56.941
- That's what he's doing here.
- 00:06:56.941 --> 00:06:58.476
- But he's also stating, don't hold on to hope.
- 00:06:58.476 --> 00:07:01.846
- So the first tactic of the enemy here, okay, is to doubt god.
- 00:07:01.846 --> 00:07:06.951
- God's not going to come through this time.
- 00:07:06.951 --> 00:07:08.953
- God's not going to help you in this situation.
- 00:07:08.953 --> 00:07:11.155
- You've gone too far.
- 00:07:11.155 --> 00:07:12.323
- So listen to what he says next here.
- 00:07:12.323 --> 00:07:15.259
- Then he stated, don't listen to hezekiah,
- 00:07:16.126 --> 00:07:18.762
- For these are the terms of the king of assyria is offering.
- 00:07:18.762 --> 00:07:21.098
- Oh, this is nice.
- 00:07:21.098 --> 00:07:22.666
- Make peace with me.
- 00:07:22.666 --> 00:07:24.735
- Open the gates.
- 00:07:24.735 --> 00:07:25.736
- Come on, open them up.
- 00:07:25.736 --> 00:07:28.506
- Come on out.
- 00:07:28.506 --> 00:07:30.040
- Let's hang out a little bit.
- 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.842
- Did each of you can continue eating?
- 00:07:31.842 --> 00:07:33.811
- I know you're hungry
- 00:07:33.811 --> 00:07:35.779
- From your own grapevine and fig tree.
- 00:07:35.779 --> 00:07:37.581
- And drinking from your own well. and by the way, i got.
- 00:07:37.581 --> 00:07:39.717
- I got a blessing for you.
- 00:07:39.717 --> 00:07:40.584
- I'm going to arrange something
- 00:07:40.584 --> 00:07:42.920
- And i'm going to take you to another land.
- 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.956
- Like this one.
- 00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:47.491
- But it's a land of grain and new wine, bread and vineyards,
- 00:07:47.491 --> 00:07:50.361
- Olive groves and and honey.
- 00:07:50.361 --> 00:07:53.564
- And then he states it like this.
- 00:07:53.564 --> 00:07:54.565
- Why don't you choose life instead of death?
- 00:07:54.565 --> 00:07:58.235
- So if you just open the door and come on out,
- 00:07:58.235 --> 00:08:02.439
- Then we can get this over with quickly.
- 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.675
- Do not believe hezekiah, for he is going to kill you
- 00:08:04.675 --> 00:08:08.479
- And have you die.
- 00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:09.613
- Choose life today.
- 00:08:09.613 --> 00:08:11.382
- Listen to the manipulation.
- 00:08:11.382 --> 00:08:13.150
- If you doubt god and believe that doubt.
- 00:08:13.150 --> 00:08:15.786
- The second thing is this just surrender.
- 00:08:15.786 --> 00:08:19.156
- Stop guarding your heart.
- 00:08:19.723 --> 00:08:22.259
- Stop guarding your mind.
- 00:08:22.259 --> 00:08:23.794
- Open the door.
- 00:08:23.794 --> 00:08:25.396
- Let me overtake you.
- 00:08:25.396 --> 00:08:27.131
- I'll bring you to a new land as slaves,
- 00:08:27.131 --> 00:08:30.668
- As captives within bondage.
- 00:08:31.268 --> 00:08:35.806
- This is deceiving.
- 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.475
- But this is what the enemy does.
- 00:08:38.475 --> 00:08:39.843
- He says i'll give you the relationship
- 00:08:39.843 --> 00:08:41.312
- You've always wanted, but it will only break your heart.
- 00:08:41.312 --> 00:08:45.249
- And it will cause you to never trust anybody again.
- 00:08:45.249 --> 00:08:48.352
- Satan always gives you a i.
- 00:08:48.953 --> 00:08:51.288
- Gives us a package that looks beautiful on the outside.
- 00:08:51.288 --> 00:08:54.291
- Looks like everything
- 00:08:54.792 --> 00:08:55.759
- That you've ever wanted, but on the inside
- 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.027
- It will destroy your soul and break your heart.
- 00:08:57.027 --> 00:09:00.197
- Now listen to this after surrender, verse 33.
- 00:09:01.131 --> 00:09:04.068
- Then he also stated this have the gods of any of the
- 00:09:04.068 --> 00:09:06.103
- Nations ever saved the people from the king of assyria?
- 00:09:06.103 --> 00:09:10.341
- Verse 35.
- 00:09:10.641 --> 00:09:11.809
- What god of any nation has ever been able
- 00:09:11.809 --> 00:09:14.778
- To save its people from my power?
- 00:09:14.778 --> 00:09:18.382
- So what makes you think that the lord can rescue jerusalem
- 00:09:18.382 --> 00:09:20.818
- From me?
- 00:09:20.818 --> 00:09:22.152
- Now, the last
- 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.722
- Tactic is this to discredit god's power
- 00:09:24.722 --> 00:09:28.092
- By causing them to compare with false gods.
- 00:09:28.993 --> 00:09:33.864
- He is bragging about
- 00:09:34.331 --> 00:09:35.699
- Overtaking these idols, these false gods.
- 00:09:35.699 --> 00:09:38.969
- But let me make it very clear.
- 00:09:38.969 --> 00:09:40.471
- He's never dealt with the one true god, yahweh.
- 00:09:40.471 --> 00:09:44.441
- He has never dealt with god, the god of israel,
- 00:09:44.441 --> 00:09:48.379
- Of abraham, jacob, and isaac.
- 00:09:49.013 --> 00:09:51.081
- He's never
- 00:09:51.081 --> 00:09:53.050
- Dealt with that. god.
- 00:09:53.050 --> 00:09:56.086
- This is how the enemy speaks.
- 00:09:56.086 --> 00:09:57.354
- Because, listen,
- 00:09:57.354 --> 00:09:58.188
- If he can get inside of your head,
- 00:09:58.188 --> 00:09:59.923
- He will always get through your walls.
- 00:09:59.923 --> 00:10:03.260
- And maybe you've maybe going through this right now
- 00:10:03.260 --> 00:10:05.696
- Where somebody in your life
- 00:10:05.696 --> 00:10:06.797
- Is constantly speaking these things.
- 00:10:06.797 --> 00:10:08.699
- They are speaking accusations.
- 00:10:08.699 --> 00:10:10.501
- They're speaking intimidation.
- 00:10:10.501 --> 00:10:12.169
- They're speaking lies.
- 00:10:12.169 --> 00:10:13.570
- And they make you question the very god who has delivered you,
- 00:10:13.570 --> 00:10:19.276
- Who met you,
- 00:10:19.610 --> 00:10:20.477
- Who changed you, who restored you.
- 00:10:20.477 --> 00:10:23.447
- I and i'm telling you, it's a spiritual fight.
- 00:10:23.447 --> 00:10:27.151
- It's over the mind.
- 00:10:27.151 --> 00:10:28.318
- This is why paul says in ephesians chapter six verse 11,
- 00:10:28.318 --> 00:10:31.155
- Put on all of god's armor
- 00:10:31.155 --> 00:10:34.058
- So that you will be able to stand firm
- 00:10:34.058 --> 00:10:37.461
- Against all the strategies of the devil.
- 00:10:37.461 --> 00:10:40.731
- Are you protecting your mind?
- 00:10:41.365 --> 00:10:45.002
- As i was writing this sermon, though,
- 00:10:45.002 --> 00:10:47.371
- A heaviness kind of came upon me
- 00:10:47.371 --> 00:10:50.340
- Because i know that we all know this feeling.
- 00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:53.544
- We all know this feeling of somebody tormenting you,
- 00:10:53.544 --> 00:10:57.014
- Hurting you, and sometimes their words
- 00:10:57.014 --> 00:10:59.950
- Can just strike and rise up, fear on the inside.
- 00:10:59.950 --> 00:11:03.253
- And you feel like your life is falling apart.
- 00:11:03.253 --> 00:11:05.723
- And the hardest part about that
- 00:11:05.723 --> 00:11:07.057
- Is that sometimes you will look up to the sky
- 00:11:07.057 --> 00:11:09.259
- And you will question everything.
- 00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:10.928
- God, where are you?
- 00:11:10.928 --> 00:11:14.765
- Right.
- 00:11:14.965 --> 00:11:15.999
- How come they're getting away with everything?
- 00:11:15.999 --> 00:11:17.801
- How come my enemies are blessed?
- 00:11:17.801 --> 00:11:19.703
- How come they have everything that i've ever wanted?
- 00:11:19.703 --> 00:11:22.039
- How come they had the life
- 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:23.507
- That i've always wanted for myself and do not have?
- 00:11:23.507 --> 00:11:28.312
- The wealth, the health, the family.
- 00:11:29.079 --> 00:11:32.116
- They don't honor you.
- 00:11:32.116 --> 00:11:33.217
- They mocked you.
- 00:11:33.217 --> 00:11:34.151
- Yet they have everything.
- 00:11:34.151 --> 00:11:38.255
- There's an answer
- 00:11:38.689 --> 00:11:40.557
- That the lord gave me a long time ago.
- 00:11:40.557 --> 00:11:43.927
- And it's written by a psalmist
- 00:11:43.927 --> 00:11:45.963
- Named asaph.
- 00:11:45.963 --> 00:11:48.499
- He's one of the original worship pastors
- 00:11:48.499 --> 00:11:51.301
- To king david.
- 00:11:51.301 --> 00:11:54.338
- And he is very real.
- 00:11:54.338 --> 00:11:55.472
- And he says this.
- 00:11:55.472 --> 00:11:56.707
- He says pretty much in ministry he struggled with jealousy.
- 00:11:56.707 --> 00:11:59.810
- He was discouraged and there was a time in his life
- 00:12:00.811 --> 00:12:03.213
- Where he questioned god because of these exact reasons.
- 00:12:03.213 --> 00:12:06.550
- Listen to this.
- 00:12:06.550 --> 00:12:07.885
- Psalm 73, verses 2 to 5.
- 00:12:07.885 --> 00:12:10.621
- But as for me, i almost lost my footing.
- 00:12:10.621 --> 00:12:14.458
- My feet were slipping
- 00:12:14.958 --> 00:12:17.127
- And i was almost gone. why?
- 00:12:17.127 --> 00:12:19.630
- For i envied the proud
- 00:12:19.630 --> 00:12:22.866
- When i saw them prosper despite their wickedness.
- 00:12:22.866 --> 00:12:26.336
- Now listen to this.
- 00:12:26.336 --> 00:12:27.337
- For they seem to live such a painless life.
- 00:12:27.337 --> 00:12:30.808
- Their bodies are so healthy and strong.
- 00:12:31.675 --> 00:12:34.511
- And it doesn't seem like
- 00:12:34.511 --> 00:12:35.512
- They had the troubles like other people.
- 00:12:35.512 --> 00:12:37.381
- They're not plagued with problems like everyone at house.
- 00:12:37.381 --> 00:12:41.919
- Verse 11 to 14.
- 00:12:42.286 --> 00:12:45.422
- But is god known?
- 00:12:45.422 --> 00:12:47.324
- They ask,
- 00:12:47.324 --> 00:12:48.926
- Does the most high even know what's happening right now?
- 00:12:48.926 --> 00:12:52.129
- Does god even know what's happening?
- 00:12:52.129 --> 00:12:54.765
- Look at all these wicked people enjoying a life with ease
- 00:12:54.765 --> 00:12:57.768
- While the riches multiply.
- 00:12:57.768 --> 00:12:59.636
- Now, this is a very real moment right here.
- 00:12:59.636 --> 00:13:01.638
- Did i keep my heart pure for nothing?
- 00:13:01.638 --> 00:13:05.042
- Did i keep myself innocent for no reason?
- 00:13:05.876 --> 00:13:09.079
- Because i get nothing but trouble all day long.
- 00:13:09.079 --> 00:13:12.216
- Every morning brings me pain.
- 00:13:12.216 --> 00:13:15.686
- What i love about the psalmist said he's
- 00:13:15.686 --> 00:13:17.788
- Being real with his feelings, but also he's telling us
- 00:13:17.788 --> 00:13:20.657
- That he's trying to understand logically.
- 00:13:20.657 --> 00:13:23.527
- He's trying to understand with his feelings.
- 00:13:23.527 --> 00:13:25.729
- And because he's trying to understand the situation
- 00:13:25.729 --> 00:13:27.464
- With his feelings, he's becoming more frustrated.
- 00:13:27.464 --> 00:13:30.734
- He's becoming more jealous.
- 00:13:30.734 --> 00:13:32.369
- He's becoming more discontent with everything in his life.
- 00:13:32.369 --> 00:13:36.640
- But that's not the end of the story.
- 00:13:37.441 --> 00:13:40.477
- Let's continue verse 16 through 19.
- 00:13:40.477 --> 00:13:43.614
- I tried to understand why the wicked prosper.
- 00:13:43.614 --> 00:13:45.749
- It is a difficult task.
- 00:13:45.749 --> 00:13:48.585
- Then i went into your sanctuary.
- 00:13:48.585 --> 00:13:51.488
- Underline that right there.
- 00:13:51.488 --> 00:13:53.190
- If you're looking at the text, i.
- 00:13:53.190 --> 00:13:54.524
- Then i went into your sanctuary.
- 00:13:54.524 --> 00:13:56.693
- Oh, god.
- 00:13:56.693 --> 00:13:57.794
- And i finally understood the destiny of the wicked.
- 00:13:57.794 --> 00:14:01.598
- Truly.
- 00:14:01.598 --> 00:14:02.299
- You put them on a slippery path
- 00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:04.801
- And send them sledding over the cliff to destruction.
- 00:14:04.801 --> 00:14:07.771
- And an instant they are destroyed,
- 00:14:07.771 --> 00:14:09.740
- Completely swept away by terrors.
- 00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:13.577
- He was frustrated with his feelings
- 00:14:13.577 --> 00:14:15.812
- Until he came into the presence of god
- 00:14:15.812 --> 00:14:19.016
- As he prayed, as he worshiped.
- 00:14:19.616 --> 00:14:21.618
- He started to understand the things that they have.
- 00:14:21.618 --> 00:14:24.821
- The success that they have is slowly or quickly.
- 00:14:24.821 --> 00:14:28.392
- I mean quickly fading away.
- 00:14:28.392 --> 00:14:31.695
- It's all falling apart.
- 00:14:31.695 --> 00:14:33.096
- Eventually, everything that they have
- 00:14:33.096 --> 00:14:35.232
- Will end because they trust in themselves and not the lord.
- 00:14:35.232 --> 00:14:38.135
- But what you have with the righteous have will be eternal.
- 00:14:38.135 --> 00:14:43.507
- To be content with jesus.
- 00:14:44.074 --> 00:14:47.377
- Are you struggling?
- 00:14:47.844 --> 00:14:50.681
- And listen?
- 00:14:50.681 --> 00:14:51.615
- As a pastor, i hear all kinds of things.
- 00:14:51.615 --> 00:14:52.849
- There are some really difficult things when it comes to this
- 00:14:52.849 --> 00:14:56.753
- Pastor.
- 00:14:56.987 --> 00:14:57.654
- I've always wanted a child.
- 00:14:57.654 --> 00:15:00.490
- How come they can have children and i can't?
- 00:15:00.490 --> 00:15:04.027
- Pastor, i've been trying for years
- 00:15:04.027 --> 00:15:05.395
- Just to get my life right.
- 00:15:05.395 --> 00:15:06.396
- How come i keep fighting with addiction? but
- 00:15:06.396 --> 00:15:09.800
- They have it too.
- 00:15:10.233 --> 00:15:11.201
- And they just get everything that they want.
- 00:15:11.201 --> 00:15:15.005
- It's a slippery slope.
- 00:15:15.472 --> 00:15:18.842
- God is still with you.
- 00:15:18.842 --> 00:15:19.910
- It is not abandon you. it's not going to leave you.
- 00:15:19.910 --> 00:15:21.712
- And there are some promises that are still coming.
- 00:15:21.712 --> 00:15:23.747
- Let me encourage you with that.
- 00:15:23.747 --> 00:15:26.049
- There are some promises that are still coming.
- 00:15:26.049 --> 00:15:29.820
- Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it's not
- 00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:31.755
- Going to.
- 00:15:31.755 --> 00:15:32.689
- And so let's get back to the story of hezekiah,
- 00:15:33.623 --> 00:15:35.359
- Because again, the first time he responded with fear.
- 00:15:35.359 --> 00:15:38.328
- But they come back okay.
- 00:15:38.328 --> 00:15:40.998
- And the second time.
- 00:15:40.998 --> 00:15:41.932
- Now listen to this a second time, hezekiah
- 00:15:41.932 --> 00:15:45.002
- Responds differently and he prays.
- 00:15:45.002 --> 00:15:48.038
- Second kings 19, verse one.
- 00:15:48.038 --> 00:15:50.240
- When king hezekiah heard the report,
- 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.009
- Now he tore his clothing and he put on burlap,
- 00:15:52.009 --> 00:15:55.879
- And he went into the temple of
- 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.447
- The lord to be in god's presence and to pray for wisdom.
- 00:15:57.447 --> 00:16:01.218
- And the lord speaks
- 00:16:01.218 --> 00:16:02.319
- To the prophet isaiah and isaiah gives him a warning.
- 00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:05.889
- Second kings 19 six and seven.
- 00:16:06.490 --> 00:16:09.292
- The prophet replied.
- 00:16:09.292 --> 00:16:10.660
- Say to your master, this is what the lord says.
- 00:16:10.660 --> 00:16:13.830
- Do not be disturbed by the blasphemous speech
- 00:16:13.830 --> 00:16:18.335
- Against me from the assyrians kings, messengers.
- 00:16:18.335 --> 00:16:22.305
- Listen, i myself will move against him,
- 00:16:22.305 --> 00:16:24.908
- And the king
- 00:16:24.908 --> 00:16:25.942
- Will receive a message that he is needed at home.
- 00:16:25.942 --> 00:16:28.445
- He's going to return to his homeland.
- 00:16:28.445 --> 00:16:30.380
- And there he will be killed by the sword.
- 00:16:30.380 --> 00:16:33.383
- Now all this happened.
- 00:16:33.383 --> 00:16:36.119
- Rubbish!
- 00:16:36.386 --> 00:16:37.354
- I ended up leaving jerusalem because of the,
- 00:16:37.354 --> 00:16:40.657
- Because of another battle.
- 00:16:40.657 --> 00:16:41.691
- Rumors of another battle with ethiopia.
- 00:16:41.691 --> 00:16:44.694
- It all happened.
- 00:16:44.694 --> 00:16:46.430
- Sort of.
- 00:16:46.430 --> 00:16:47.631
- Okay.
- 00:16:47.631 --> 00:16:48.498
- This is where faith gets really hard.
- 00:16:48.498 --> 00:16:49.666
- What did god say?
- 00:16:49.666 --> 00:16:50.333
- All right.
- 00:16:50.333 --> 00:16:51.001
- You're going to be distracted.
- 00:16:51.001 --> 00:16:51.768
- They're going to leave you alone.
- 00:16:51.768 --> 00:16:52.869
- And the king is going to die by the sword.
- 00:16:52.869 --> 00:16:55.038
- Okay. all that happens.
- 00:16:55.038 --> 00:16:57.874
- But it doesn't happen right away.
- 00:16:57.874 --> 00:17:00.610
- This is why you cannot give up faith, okay?
- 00:17:00.610 --> 00:17:03.346
- Because they're distracted.
- 00:17:03.346 --> 00:17:05.115
- They all leave jerusalem.
- 00:17:05.115 --> 00:17:06.950
- They go fight this other battle.
- 00:17:06.950 --> 00:17:08.985
- The problem is, they send a letter back to king hezekiah.
- 00:17:08.985 --> 00:17:12.756
- Because the king of assyria has not died yet.
- 00:17:12.756 --> 00:17:15.492
- And they send king hezekiah a letter that says,
- 00:17:15.492 --> 00:17:18.328
- I'm coming back.
- 00:17:18.328 --> 00:17:21.331
- Don't get too comfortable.
- 00:17:21.331 --> 00:17:23.366
- I'm coming after you, and i'm coming after jerusalem.
- 00:17:23.366 --> 00:17:27.104
- I will not stop.
- 00:17:27.504 --> 00:17:30.140
- What do you do with that?
- 00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:34.344
- When you prayed
- 00:17:33.410 --> 00:17:35.212
- And you saw
- 00:17:35.212 --> 00:17:36.279
- Half of a miracle, but you didn't see the full thing.
- 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.015
- And now the enemy is coming back.
- 00:17:39.783 --> 00:17:41.718
- Let me make it very clear.
- 00:17:41.718 --> 00:17:42.886
- This is a real battle. this.
- 00:17:42.886 --> 00:17:44.821
- The devil does not stop fighting you over one prayer.
- 00:17:44.821 --> 00:17:50.093
- Let me make that very clear.
- 00:17:50.694 --> 00:17:52.162
- The devil doesn't just leave you alone.
- 00:17:52.162 --> 00:17:54.231
- He doesn't just give up over one prayer.
- 00:17:54.231 --> 00:17:57.100
- So pray again.
- 00:17:57.100 --> 00:17:59.069
- And then pray again.
- 00:17:59.069 --> 00:18:01.872
- And then worship and pray again and give it over to the lord.
- 00:18:00.604 --> 00:18:04.741
- This is how you fight these battles,
- 00:18:04.741 --> 00:18:08.111
- Because the king of assyria sent a letter
- 00:18:08.945 --> 00:18:11.748
- In verse ten and chapter 19, it says, don't let your god and
- 00:18:11.748 --> 00:18:14.317
- Whoever you trust
- 00:18:14.317 --> 00:18:15.852
- Deceive you
- 00:18:16.186 --> 00:18:16.820
- With the
- 00:18:16.820 --> 00:18:17.387
- Promises that jerusalem
- 00:18:17.387 --> 00:18:18.421
- Will not be captured by the king of assyria.
- 00:18:18.421 --> 00:18:21.024
- We're coming after you.
- 00:18:21.024 --> 00:18:23.360
- And you know what hezekiah did with that letter?
- 00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:26.429
- He placed it at the altar of god.
- 00:18:26.429 --> 00:18:29.900
- The very thing that was meant to strike fear in his heart.
- 00:18:31.067 --> 00:18:34.437
- He said, god, i give it to you.
- 00:18:34.437 --> 00:18:37.641
- I'll place it at the altar.
- 00:18:37.641 --> 00:18:39.576
- Second kings 1914.
- 00:18:39.576 --> 00:18:41.444
- After hezekiah received a letter
- 00:18:41.444 --> 00:18:43.146
- From the messengers and read it, he went up to the temple.
- 00:18:43.146 --> 00:18:46.249
- The lord's temple. and he what?
- 00:18:46.249 --> 00:18:47.717
- He spread it out before the lord.
- 00:18:47.717 --> 00:18:50.453
- He didn't panic.
- 00:18:50.453 --> 00:18:52.289
- He didn't pay last time.
- 00:18:52.289 --> 00:18:53.857
- He prayed.
- 00:18:53.857 --> 00:18:54.791
- And let me make it very clear.
- 00:18:54.791 --> 00:18:55.992
- If you don't pray, you pray.
- 00:18:55.992 --> 00:18:59.262
- When you don't pray about it, you will always pray
- 00:18:59.262 --> 00:19:01.731
- And give over to the enemy what belongs to god.
- 00:19:01.731 --> 00:19:04.467
- But when you pray,
- 00:19:04.467 --> 00:19:06.336
- God will strengthen you.
- 00:19:06.870 --> 00:19:08.271
- Because let me also make this clear.
- 00:19:08.271 --> 00:19:09.839
- Satan is still using people to send letters of fear.
- 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.877
- It just looks a little bit different this time.
- 00:19:13.877 --> 00:19:15.345
- Sometimes it's in a text message,
- 00:19:15.345 --> 00:19:18.315
- And it's that text that strikes fear on your heart.
- 00:19:18.315 --> 00:19:21.017
- Sometimes it's in the comment section.
- 00:19:21.017 --> 00:19:23.286
- Sometimes you send your emails
- 00:19:23.286 --> 00:19:25.021
- And all these things can weigh you down and they get heavy.
- 00:19:25.021 --> 00:19:29.059
- So guess what you can do?
- 00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:30.026
- You can place it at the altar of god.
- 00:19:30.026 --> 00:19:33.530
- God, take every bit of stress that i have.
- 00:19:33.530 --> 00:19:38.335
- Don't react.
- 00:19:38.668 --> 00:19:39.836
- Release.
- 00:19:39.836 --> 00:19:41.838
- Don't hold on to it.
- 00:19:41.838 --> 00:19:43.773
- Give it over to god.
- 00:19:43.773 --> 00:19:45.242
- Because here's the encouragement that i have for you today.
- 00:19:45.242 --> 00:19:47.944
- Lesson point number two. last point.
- 00:19:47.944 --> 00:19:50.247
- God humbles the proud.
- 00:19:50.247 --> 00:19:53.617
- God will always take care.
- 00:19:54.184 --> 00:19:55.919
- The arrogant, the proud, those that come after you.
- 00:19:55.919 --> 00:19:59.322
- Now listen to this.
- 00:19:59.322 --> 00:20:01.024
- As god answers, hezekiah through the prophet isaiah again.
- 00:20:01.024 --> 00:20:04.894
- But god's words are powerful and frightening all
- 00:20:04.894 --> 00:20:07.030
- At the same time.
- 00:20:07.030 --> 00:20:08.398
- Second kings 1922.
- 00:20:08.832 --> 00:20:11.501
- Listen to what the lord says.
- 00:20:11.501 --> 00:20:12.769
- Whom have you been defying and ridiculing?
- 00:20:12.769 --> 00:20:16.506
- Against whom did you raise your voice at?
- 00:20:16.506 --> 00:20:19.576
- Whom did you look with such haughty eyes?
- 00:20:19.576 --> 00:20:22.445
- It was the holy one of israel.
- 00:20:22.445 --> 00:20:25.548
- Verse 25.
- 00:20:25.849 --> 00:20:27.751
- But have you not heard?
- 00:20:27.751 --> 00:20:29.919
- I decided this long ago.
- 00:20:29.919 --> 00:20:32.122
- Long ago i planned it, and now i'm making it happen.
- 00:20:32.122 --> 00:20:35.358
- I plan now.
- 00:20:35.358 --> 00:20:37.661
- I plan for you to crush fortified
- 00:20:37.661 --> 00:20:40.430
- Cities into heaps of rubble.
- 00:20:40.430 --> 00:20:42.499
- The lord is saying assyria.
- 00:20:42.499 --> 00:20:43.867
- You didn't have all the power.
- 00:20:43.867 --> 00:20:44.768
- I gave you the power.
- 00:20:44.768 --> 00:20:47.037
- I allowed you to do this. why?
- 00:20:47.037 --> 00:20:49.039
- The reason why god was using the assyrian army
- 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.909
- To destroy all the false idols
- 00:20:52.909 --> 00:20:56.246
- And the nation of israel.
- 00:20:56.813 --> 00:20:59.115
- God was using the assyrian army to tear down
- 00:20:59.115 --> 00:21:03.253
- And destroy all the idols.
- 00:21:03.253 --> 00:21:04.954
- All the demons that his people were choosing to worship.
- 00:21:04.954 --> 00:21:09.359
- So god is saying to assyria, you're not that strong.
- 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:13.296
- I allowed this to
- 00:21:13.730 --> 00:21:14.831
- Happen to break the enemy's power.
- 00:21:14.831 --> 00:21:17.934
- Now listen to this.
- 00:21:17.934 --> 00:21:18.835
- Verse 27 and 28,
- 00:21:18.835 --> 00:21:21.738
- And let me also make this point, sometimes god will allow
- 00:21:21.738 --> 00:21:24.274
- Something in your life to fall apart, to reveal
- 00:21:24.274 --> 00:21:27.077
- That what you are leaning on could not hold you up.
- 00:21:27.077 --> 00:21:30.246
- You're leaning on the wrong things.
- 00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:33.249
- But verse 2728,
- 00:21:33.249 --> 00:21:35.418
- Listen to the words of the lord here, but i know you will.
- 00:21:35.418 --> 00:21:38.455
- I know where you stay.
- 00:21:38.455 --> 00:21:40.223
- And when you come and go.
- 00:21:40.223 --> 00:21:42.225
- And i know the way you have raged against me.
- 00:21:42.225 --> 00:21:45.195
- And because of your raging against me and your arrogance,
- 00:21:45.195 --> 00:21:47.897
- Which i've heard for myself. now listen to this.
- 00:21:47.897 --> 00:21:50.800
- I will put a hook in your nose
- 00:21:50.800 --> 00:21:53.737
- And my bit in your mouth, and i will make you return
- 00:21:53.737 --> 00:21:57.474
- By the same road on which you came.
- 00:21:57.474 --> 00:21:59.109
- Why would the lord speak in such a way?
- 00:21:59.109 --> 00:22:01.244
- The assyrians were ruthless when it came to the captives.
- 00:22:01.244 --> 00:22:05.248
- The city or the capital of assyria was nineveh.
- 00:22:05.248 --> 00:22:09.219
- We've learned about this before.
- 00:22:09.219 --> 00:22:10.520
- As they take in the captives, they would take hooks,
- 00:22:10.520 --> 00:22:13.022
- And they would place it in their captives nose,
- 00:22:13.022 --> 00:22:15.392
- And they would string them like a fish
- 00:22:15.392 --> 00:22:17.327
- And pulled them into assyria.
- 00:22:17.327 --> 00:22:21.064
- It shows you how much the
- 00:22:21.631 --> 00:22:22.799
- Enemy will lie when he says, hey, i got a land for you.
- 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.069
- Open up your doors and just surrender.
- 00:22:26.069 --> 00:22:27.437
- He's trying to hook you, string you, and pull you
- 00:22:27.437 --> 00:22:31.074
- So you know what the lord says.
- 00:22:31.708 --> 00:22:32.675
- He says, i know
- 00:22:32.675 --> 00:22:33.877
- You try to do it to my people, but i'm going to do it to you.
- 00:22:33.877 --> 00:22:36.546
- Instead, i'm going to hook your nose.
- 00:22:37.347 --> 00:22:39.082
- I'm going to pull you, and i'm going to pull you back
- 00:22:39.082 --> 00:22:40.850
- To where you came from, meaning the same pain
- 00:22:40.850 --> 00:22:44.020
- The enemy used to control others.
- 00:22:44.754 --> 00:22:46.856
- God will actually use it to correct them.
- 00:22:46.856 --> 00:22:50.860
- Be careful what you say
- 00:22:51.361 --> 00:22:52.595
- And how you hurt people.
- 00:22:52.595 --> 00:22:56.099
- Be careful of these things
- 00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:57.167
- And if you're going through something right now,
- 00:22:57.167 --> 00:22:58.368
- I pray that this is encouraging to you,
- 00:22:58.368 --> 00:23:00.837
- But god will correct them.
- 00:23:00.837 --> 00:23:02.972
- Okay? in the story though, hezekiah,
- 00:23:02.972 --> 00:23:05.341
- He hears this from the lord.
- 00:23:05.942 --> 00:23:07.177
- His situation hasn't changed.
- 00:23:07.177 --> 00:23:09.879
- The king of assyria is still alive.
- 00:23:09.879 --> 00:23:11.448
- They're still surrounded, right?
- 00:23:11.448 --> 00:23:13.249
- How do you sleep at night
- 00:23:13.249 --> 00:23:15.618
- When something like that is happening?
- 00:23:15.618 --> 00:23:17.954
- But it's in the middle of rest and trusting the lord
- 00:23:17.954 --> 00:23:20.223
- That god would do something supernatural.
- 00:23:20.223 --> 00:23:23.326
- That very night, god did the impossible.
- 00:23:23.326 --> 00:23:26.963
- Listen to this.
- 00:23:26.963 --> 00:23:28.097
- Chapter 19, verse 35.
- 00:23:28.097 --> 00:23:30.767
- That night, the angel of the lord went out
- 00:23:30.767 --> 00:23:34.170
- To the assyrian camp and killed 185,000 assyrian soldiers.
- 00:23:34.170 --> 00:23:42.979
- When the surviving assyrians woke up in the next morning,
- 00:23:42.979 --> 00:23:45.982
- They found corpses, dead bodies everywhere.
- 00:23:45.982 --> 00:23:49.552
- Then king sennacherib of assyria broke camp
- 00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:54.290
- And he returned back to his homeland.
- 00:23:54.290 --> 00:23:56.359
- I bet he did,
- 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.561
- Waking up a bunch of dead bodies, 185,000
- 00:23:58.561 --> 00:24:01.264
- Of his soldiers dead corpses laying on the floor.
- 00:24:01.264 --> 00:24:04.267
- He went home to the capital of nineveh, and he stayed there.
- 00:24:04.267 --> 00:24:07.804
- Now, this is powerful because this means that god
- 00:24:07.804 --> 00:24:12.976
- Is always in your situation.
- 00:24:13.576 --> 00:24:14.878
- He loves you so much.
- 00:24:14.878 --> 00:24:16.045
- But when you give it over
- 00:24:16.045 --> 00:24:17.180
- To god, what overwhelmed you yesterday can be over in
- 00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:20.683
- One night.
- 00:24:20.683 --> 00:24:24.020
- Hear me on that.
- 00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:25.288
- What overwhelmed you yesterday
- 00:24:25.288 --> 00:24:28.591
- Can be over.
- 00:24:28.925 --> 00:24:29.759
- And one night.
- 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.028
- God was fighting for hezekiah
- 00:24:32.028 --> 00:24:35.298
- While hezekiah was sleeping.
- 00:24:35.298 --> 00:24:38.735
- You can rest tonight
- 00:24:39.202 --> 00:24:41.905
- Because the things that you can't control
- 00:24:41.905 --> 00:24:43.740
- And you can't force.
- 00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:46.509
- God is already fighting for you
- 00:24:46.509 --> 00:24:49.279
- While you sleep,
- 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.114
- While you rest,
- 00:24:51.114 --> 00:24:53.349
- While you have joy.
- 00:24:53.349 --> 00:24:54.117
- This is why david said, i have joy
- 00:24:54.117 --> 00:24:57.854
- Even though my enemies surround me
- 00:24:57.854 --> 00:24:59.455
- And want to kill me, i have joy
- 00:24:59.455 --> 00:25:02.592
- For the lord is my strength.
- 00:25:02.592 --> 00:25:06.930
- You know you want to know why.
- 00:25:07.530 --> 00:25:08.631
- Because the same god
- 00:25:08.631 --> 00:25:09.599
- Who sent one angel to kill 185,000 soldiers.
- 00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.869
- It's the same god who's handling your situation today.
- 00:25:12.869 --> 00:25:17.407
- You're all right, guys.
- 00:25:17.907 --> 00:25:19.309
- That's all the time we have for today.
- 00:25:19.309 --> 00:25:21.010
- But i pray that today's message bless your life.
- 00:25:21.010 --> 00:25:24.747
- There is a reason you heard this word today.
- 00:25:24.747 --> 00:25:27.317
- It's not by mistake.
- 00:25:27.317 --> 00:25:28.785

- From everywhere, from all over the nation
- 00:26:27.510 --> 00:26:30.313
- And even outside of the country
- 00:26:30.313 --> 00:26:32.015
- To experience what god is doing here.
- 00:26:32.015 --> 00:26:34.250

- In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
- 00:26:47.597 --> 00:27:03.546
- For me.
- 00:27:03.780 --> 00:27:15.525
- And the
- 00:27:15.758 --> 00:27:16.559
- Reason i even bring it up tonight
- 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.495
- Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man.
- 00:27:19.495 --> 00:27:24.267
- The gospel.
- 00:27:24.267 --> 00:27:25.034
- Message is all about
- 00:27:25.034 --> 00:27:27.203
- Your understanding of the message about the man
- 00:27:27.203 --> 00:27:31.474
- Who informed your methods of getting to know the man
- 00:27:31.474 --> 00:27:35.044
- From. me.
- 00:27:35.344 --> 00:28:05.274
- This.
- 00:28:05.508 --> 00:28:06.309
- This job doesn't work out for me.
- 00:28:06.309 --> 00:28:07.944
- What if i move my life by faith and it all just
- 00:28:07.944 --> 00:28:11.681
- Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
- 00:28:11.681 --> 00:28:14.584
- What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
- 00:28:14.584 --> 00:28:17.487
- But i would rather move by faith
- 00:28:17.487 --> 00:28:19.322
- And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
- 00:28:19.322 --> 00:28:23.192
- And i ended up exactly.
- 00:28:23.192 --> 00:28:24.427
- Where i needed to be.
- 00:28:24.427 --> 00:28:55.958
- You know what?
- 00:28:56.292 --> 00:28:56.692
- Today is.
- 00:28:56.692 --> 00:28:58.294
- Pentecost sunday.
- 00:28:58.294 --> 00:29:01.464
- Pentecost sunday.
- 00:29:01.898 --> 00:29:05.168
- We. you better
- 00:29:05.501 --> 00:29:07.537
- Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
- 00:29:07.537 --> 00:29:11.274
- I came here to remind you
- 00:29:11.841 --> 00:29:13.609
