  • Failure does not have to be fatal.
  • 00:03:56.092 --> 00:03:58.561

  • ♪ music ♪
  • 00:04:21.484 --> 00:04:28.091
  • I've seen these middle-aged crazies,
  • 00:04:28.858 --> 00:04:31.094
  • These wrong decisions happen at every age.
  • 00:04:31.094 --> 00:04:33.463
  • In fact, i'll have to tell you honestly, as a pastor,
  • 00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:36.165
  • I've seen as many people in their senior adult life
  • 00:04:36.165 --> 00:04:41.504
  • And senior adult years make disastrous choices
  • 00:04:42.405 --> 00:04:44.173
  • As i have those in their young adult lives.
  • 00:04:44.173 --> 00:04:47.143
  • We can fail at any time.
  • 00:04:47.143 --> 00:04:48.544
  • That's why we have to be on guard all the time.
  • 00:04:48.544 --> 00:04:51.147
  • But because we can fail at any time in life,
  • 00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:53.049
  • Our intermission can occur at any time in life as well.
  • 00:04:53.049 --> 00:04:56.953
  • Number three, intermissions are varying lengths.
  • 00:04:56.953 --> 00:05:01.090
  • Intermissions are of varying lengths.
  • 00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:04.127
  • You know, for moses it was 40 years,
  • 00:05:04.127 --> 00:05:06.462
  • But it's not always 40 years.
  • 00:05:06.462 --> 00:05:08.431
  • For the israelites, it was 70 years in babylon.
  • 00:05:08.431 --> 00:05:11.367
  • For peter, it was seven weeks between his failure
  • 00:05:11.367 --> 00:05:14.837
  • And his preaching at pentecost.
  • 00:05:14.837 --> 00:05:16.272
  • For paul, it was three years in the desert.
  • 00:05:16.272 --> 00:05:18.408
  • For jonah, it was three days in the belly of a great fish
  • 00:05:18.408 --> 00:05:22.011
  • While he reassessed his calling.
  • 00:05:22.011 --> 00:05:24.347
  • Intermissions are of various links
  • 00:05:24.347 --> 00:05:26.416
  • And you know the thing is in a theatrical program,
  • 00:05:26.416 --> 00:05:29.919
  • If you open up the program,
  • 00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:31.654
  • You often see the intermission is scheduled.
  • 00:05:31.654 --> 00:05:35.825
  • It says there will be an intermission of 20 minutes
  • 00:05:35.825 --> 00:05:39.495
  • So you know exactly how long it is until the second act.
  • 00:05:39.495 --> 00:05:42.865
  • And in case you don't have a watch,
  • 00:05:42.865 --> 00:05:44.200
  • They begin flickering the lights
  • 00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:45.568
  • When it's time for the second act to begin.
  • 00:05:45.568 --> 00:05:48.371
  • You don't find the same phenomenon in life.
  • 00:05:48.371 --> 00:05:51.407
  • Intermissions are a varying lengths.
  • 00:05:51.407 --> 00:05:53.543
  • But whatever length your intermission is,
  • 00:05:53.543 --> 00:05:55.945
  • It is important that you learn and profit from it.
  • 00:05:55.945 --> 00:05:59.849
  • How can you profit from your intermission?
  • 00:05:59.849 --> 00:06:01.851
  • Many of you who are here today are watching
  • 00:06:01.851 --> 00:06:04.320
  • Or listening to this broadcast,
  • 00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:06.289
  • You feel like you're in an intermission.
  • 00:06:06.289 --> 00:06:07.757
  • You're waiting and waiting and waiting.
  • 00:06:07.757 --> 00:06:10.359
  • Remember, waiting time doesn't have to be wasted time.
  • 00:06:10.359 --> 00:06:15.031
  • Five principles.
  • 00:06:15.031 --> 00:06:16.532
  • Number one, resist the urge to skip your intermission.
  • 00:06:16.532 --> 00:06:20.603
  • Resist the urge to skip your intermission.
  • 00:06:20.603 --> 00:06:22.805
  • You know, so many times after we have failed,
  • 00:06:22.805 --> 00:06:25.208
  • We want to move immediately into our second act.
  • 00:06:25.208 --> 00:06:29.378
  • I see this all the time.
  • 00:06:29.378 --> 00:06:31.314
  • People get apprehensive during an intermission.
  • 00:06:31.314 --> 00:06:33.483
  • They think because they've been out of work for six months,
  • 00:06:33.483 --> 00:06:36.352
  • That they're going to be unemployed the rest of their lives,
  • 00:06:36.352 --> 00:06:38.488
  • So they begin to panic and make some wrong choices.
  • 00:06:38.488 --> 00:06:41.657
  • Or maybe they've lost their mate
  • 00:06:41.657 --> 00:06:45.628
  • And they hate the idea of being alone,
  • 00:06:46.462 --> 00:06:47.997
  • And because they've been alone for a year,
  • 00:06:47.997 --> 00:06:49.699
  • They think they're going to spend the rest of their lives alone
  • 00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:52.268
  • As well and they make a wrong decision.
  • 00:06:52.268 --> 00:06:54.670
  • I've seen this so many times as a pastor.
  • 00:06:54.670 --> 00:06:57.039
  • Somebody loses their mate either through death
  • 00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:00.409
  • Or through divorce,
  • 00:07:00.409 --> 00:07:01.711
  • And they are terrified at the prospect
  • 00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:03.646
  • Of living the rest of their lives alone.
  • 00:07:03.646 --> 00:07:05.248
  • So they go out and they make a disastrous choice
  • 00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:07.884
  • For a next mate, and they just compound the heartache
  • 00:07:07.884 --> 00:07:11.120
  • They've already experienced.
  • 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.256
  • You see, people who skip intermissions
  • 00:07:13.256 --> 00:07:16.459
  • Become victims of what a friend of mine
  • 00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:18.528
  • Calls the blizzard effect.
  • 00:07:18.528 --> 00:07:22.098
  • Now you know what a blizzard is. think about it.
  • 00:07:22.098 --> 00:07:24.734
  • A blizzard occurs when you have very small particles
  • 00:07:24.734 --> 00:07:28.337
  • Of frozen precipitation that are harmless
  • 00:07:28.337 --> 00:07:31.908
  • In and of themselves, but a storm comes through
  • 00:07:31.908 --> 00:07:34.510
  • And starts blowing those frozen particles around
  • 00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:37.580
  • Where you can't see anything in front of you.
  • 00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:40.449
  • It's the same way in life.
  • 00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:42.084
  • Many times we'll have a storm come into our life.
  • 00:07:42.084 --> 00:07:44.287
  • It may be a heartbreaking death, a painful divorce,
  • 00:07:44.287 --> 00:07:48.324
  • An unexpected termination,
  • 00:07:48.324 --> 00:07:50.393
  • But something comes into our life, the storm,
  • 00:07:50.393 --> 00:07:52.528
  • And it just starts blowing everything around.
  • 00:07:52.528 --> 00:07:55.097
  • Even the smallest details of our life get blown around
  • 00:07:55.097 --> 00:07:57.867
  • Where we can't see clearly to make wise decisions.
  • 00:07:57.867 --> 00:08:01.637
  • Now, just as you would never try to drive in a blizzard
  • 00:08:01.637 --> 00:08:04.974
  • But would stop until the storm passed through.
  • 00:08:04.974 --> 00:08:08.911
  • So after a first act failure, we should never try
  • 00:08:08.911 --> 00:08:12.682
  • To make an immediate decision.
  • 00:08:12.682 --> 00:08:14.383
  • We need to wait until the storm passes
  • 00:08:14.383 --> 00:08:16.886
  • And we can see clearly.
  • 00:08:16.886 --> 00:08:19.121
  • Don't skip your intermission.
  • 00:08:19.755 --> 00:08:22.291
  • Number two, during your intermission,
  • 00:08:22.291 --> 00:08:25.161
  • Refresh your physical and emotional batteries.
  • 00:08:25.161 --> 00:08:29.932
  • Refresh your physical and your emotional batteries.
  • 00:08:29.932 --> 00:08:34.303
  • My old professor, dr. howard hendricks, used to say,
  • 00:08:34.303 --> 00:08:37.707
  • "sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do
  • 00:08:37.707 --> 00:08:41.811
  • Is to take a nap."
  • 00:08:41.811 --> 00:08:44.080
  • And he was right.
  • 00:08:44.513 --> 00:08:46.148
  • He was right.
  • 00:08:46.148 --> 00:08:47.450
  • Sometimes that's the best thing we can do.
  • 00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:49.118
  • Elijah certainly discovered that the hard way.
  • 00:08:49.118 --> 00:08:52.154
  • Remember his story, 1 kings 18,
  • 00:08:52.154 --> 00:08:55.391
  • After his great, great victory on mount carmel
  • 00:08:55.391 --> 00:08:59.528
  • Where he proved jehovah not baal was the true god
  • 00:08:59.528 --> 00:09:02.431
  • And he decimated all of the prophets of baal.
  • 00:09:02.431 --> 00:09:05.034
  • He acted out of faith,
  • 00:09:05.034 --> 00:09:06.836
  • But that faith quickly turned to fear when jezebel said,
  • 00:09:06.836 --> 00:09:10.006
  • "i'm going to get you."
  • 00:09:10.006 --> 00:09:12.942
  • And so he started to run and run and run and run
  • 00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:16.879
  • Until finally he collapsed under that juniper tree,
  • 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.149
  • Exhausted and depressed,
  • 00:09:20.149 --> 00:09:22.118
  • And he cried out, "lord, please take my life."
  • 00:09:22.118 --> 00:09:25.955
  • He was having a pity party.
  • 00:09:26.555 --> 00:09:28.324
  • He didn't really mean it.
  • 00:09:28.324 --> 00:09:29.859
  • If he had meant it, he could have just stayed back in israel
  • 00:09:29.859 --> 00:09:32.194
  • And jezebel would've answered his plea.
  • 00:09:32.194 --> 00:09:34.964
  • But he had the wrong perspective,
  • 00:09:34.964 --> 00:09:36.999
  • He was exhausted.
  • 00:09:36.999 --> 00:09:38.401
  • God didn't answer his request to take his life.
  • 00:09:38.401 --> 00:09:41.103
  • Instead, he said, "elijah, it's time to take a nap."
  • 00:09:41.103 --> 00:09:44.840
  • And so well, elijah went to sleep.
  • 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.642
  • And when elijah awakened, god had generously
  • 00:09:46.642 --> 00:09:51.113
  • Provided a jar of water
  • 00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:53.215
  • And the angels had brought a cake for elijah.
  • 00:09:53.215 --> 00:09:57.053
  • That's where we get angels food cake.
  • 00:09:57.053 --> 00:09:59.388
  • -no, i'm just kidding. -(congregation laughing)
  • 00:09:59.388 --> 00:10:00.322
  • That's not where we get it from,
  • 00:10:00.322 --> 00:10:02.191
  • But the angels brought that cake.
  • 00:10:02.191 --> 00:10:05.194
  • And so elijah ate and he drank and he took a nap.
  • 00:10:06.128 --> 00:10:09.131
  • Then he awakened and he ate some more and he took a nap
  • 00:10:09.131 --> 00:10:11.434
  • And awakened more and took a nap.
  • 00:10:11.434 --> 00:10:13.002
  • You see, he just needed to refresh himself,
  • 00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:15.571
  • Physically and emotionally.
  • 00:10:15.571 --> 00:10:17.440
  • Failure can take an exacting toll on your life emotionally
  • 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.410
  • As well as physically,
  • 00:10:21.410 --> 00:10:22.945
  • And that's why we need to use any intermission word
  • 00:10:22.945 --> 00:10:25.448
  • Given to refresh ourselves.
  • 00:10:25.448 --> 00:10:27.316
  • You know, for example, let's say you lose a job,
  • 00:10:27.316 --> 00:10:29.919
  • You're terminated unexpectedly.
  • 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.687
  • Let me give you this piece of advice.
  • 00:10:31.687 --> 00:10:34.190
  • If you know you're about to be fired, bargain, plead,
  • 00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:39.061
  • Beg with your employer for as much severance pay
  • 00:10:39.061 --> 00:10:42.732
  • As you can possibly get.
  • 00:10:42.732 --> 00:10:44.533
  • Remember, you don't have anything to lose
  • 00:10:44.533 --> 00:10:45.901
  • At that point anyway, just fall down
  • 00:10:45.901 --> 00:10:48.137
  • And beg for as much time as you can have
  • 00:10:48.137 --> 00:10:51.140
  • And then use that time wisely.
  • 00:10:51.140 --> 00:10:52.842
  • Most of the time, certainly you would use
  • 00:10:52.842 --> 00:10:54.710
  • To find new employment, but use a few days of that time
  • 00:10:54.710 --> 00:10:59.982
  • Or a week of that time just to refresh yourself.
  • 00:11:00.950 --> 00:11:02.985
  • Take a trip, do some projects around the house.
  • 00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:05.788
  • There's something about refreshment
  • 00:11:05.788 --> 00:11:08.958
  • That gives us a new perspective on life.
  • 00:11:08.958 --> 00:11:11.827
  • Number three, during your intermission,
  • 00:11:11.827 --> 00:11:14.230
  • Reflect on where you've been
  • 00:11:14.230 --> 00:11:16.766
  • And visualize where you want to go.
  • 00:11:16.766 --> 00:11:19.435
  • Use your intermission to reflect on where you've been
  • 00:11:19.435 --> 00:11:22.037
  • And visualize where you want to go.
  • 00:11:22.037 --> 00:11:24.807
  • Somebody asked my friend, james dobson one time,
  • 00:11:25.775 --> 00:11:28.010
  • "dr. dobson, have you ever had a midlife crisis?"
  • 00:11:28.010 --> 00:11:31.180
  • He said, "no, but i've had a serious midlife reevaluation."
  • 00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:35.684
  • We all need to have a reevaluation,
  • 00:11:35.684 --> 00:11:38.554
  • Especially after some first act failure in our life.
  • 00:11:38.554 --> 00:11:42.158
  • We need a time where we pause
  • 00:11:42.158 --> 00:11:43.793
  • And reflect on where we've been
  • 00:11:43.793 --> 00:11:45.728
  • And where we think god is leading us.
  • 00:11:45.728 --> 00:11:48.464
  • Now, take a day off.
  • 00:11:48.464 --> 00:11:50.966
  • If you are terminated a job you've had some days off,
  • 00:11:50.966 --> 00:11:55.337
  • But even if you haven't been fired,
  • 00:11:55.337 --> 00:11:56.939
  • There ought to be a time on a regular basis
  • 00:11:56.939 --> 00:11:59.441
  • Where you get alone
  • 00:11:59.441 --> 00:12:00.676
  • And ask yourself some important questions
  • 00:12:00.676 --> 00:12:02.411
  • About where you've been and where you think
  • 00:12:02.411 --> 00:12:04.914
  • God might be leading you.
  • 00:12:04.914 --> 00:12:06.448
  • Let me give you five signal questions that you ought to ask
  • 00:12:06.448 --> 00:12:09.618
  • During a midlife or any time in life reevaluation.
  • 00:12:09.618 --> 00:12:14.190
  • Number one, what three things would i like
  • 00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:17.026
  • To accomplish before i die?
  • 00:12:17.026 --> 00:12:19.528
  • That's a great question.
  • 00:12:20.029 --> 00:12:21.764
  • What three things would i like to accomplish before i die?
  • 00:12:21.764 --> 00:12:25.634
  • Question number two, am i in the job now
  • 00:12:25.634 --> 00:12:28.404
  • That i want to be doing 10 years from now?
  • 00:12:28.404 --> 00:12:31.407
  • Am i in the job that i want to be doing 10 years from now?
  • 00:12:31.407 --> 00:12:35.578
  • That doesn't mean necessarily you need to quit
  • 00:12:35.578 --> 00:12:37.112
  • Your job right now,
  • 00:12:37.112 --> 00:12:38.848
  • But if it's not the job you want to be in,
  • 00:12:38.848 --> 00:12:40.549
  • You need to ask god for some leadership
  • 00:12:40.549 --> 00:12:42.685
  • And how to transition
  • 00:12:42.685 --> 00:12:44.119
  • To what you believe he's leading you to do.
  • 00:12:44.119 --> 00:12:46.288
  • Number three, what do i feel
  • 00:12:46.288 --> 00:12:49.391
  • Passionate about in life?
  • 00:12:49.959 --> 00:12:51.794
  • What do i feel passionate about in life?
  • 00:12:51.794 --> 00:12:53.762
  • You know, philippians 2 says, "god is at work within you,
  • 00:12:53.762 --> 00:12:57.199
  • Giving you both the power
  • 00:12:57.199 --> 00:12:58.801
  • And the desire to accomplish his will."
  • 00:12:58.801 --> 00:13:02.071
  • God gives all of us different passions in life,
  • 00:13:02.071 --> 00:13:05.107
  • And one way to know god's direction for your life
  • 00:13:05.107 --> 00:13:09.211
  • Is the particular passion he's placed within you.
  • 00:13:10.212 --> 00:13:13.082
  • Number four, what do other people seem
  • 00:13:13.082 --> 00:13:15.451
  • To think i'm gifted to do?
  • 00:13:15.451 --> 00:13:17.853
  • Now, that's one way to know by the way,
  • 00:13:18.721 --> 00:13:21.123
  • If you're doing what you're supposed to be doing.
  • 00:13:21.123 --> 00:13:24.293
  • You know what is it that you do when you do it?
  • 00:13:24.293 --> 00:13:26.528
  • People come up to you and say,
  • 00:13:26.528 --> 00:13:28.130
  • "man, you are so good at that.
  • 00:13:28.130 --> 00:13:30.566
  • You make it seem so effortless.
  • 00:13:30.566 --> 00:13:33.035
  • You were born to do this."
  • 00:13:33.035 --> 00:13:35.604
  • That's a good way to know the unique gifts
  • 00:13:35.604 --> 00:13:37.973
  • That god has given you.
  • 00:13:37.973 --> 00:13:40.142
  • And finally, who is the one person who knows me best
  • 00:13:40.142 --> 00:13:43.846
  • And loves me most with whom
  • 00:13:43.846 --> 00:13:46.015
  • I could have a heart to heart talk about my situation.
  • 00:13:46.015 --> 00:13:49.585
  • If you're in an intermission time,
  • 00:13:49.585 --> 00:13:51.420
  • You're in that waiting mode,
  • 00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:53.289
  • Who's somebody who loves you and knows you very well,
  • 00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:58.027
  • Who could give you some wise counsel?
  • 00:13:58.027 --> 00:14:00.462
  • Reflect on where you've been
  • 00:14:01.063 --> 00:14:02.464
  • And visualize where god wants you to go.
  • 00:14:02.464 --> 00:14:04.633
  • Number four, during your intermission,
  • 00:14:04.633 --> 00:14:07.002
  • Renew your relationship with god.
  • 00:14:07.002 --> 00:14:10.973
  • I'll tell you something about myself
  • 00:14:11.774 --> 00:14:13.309
  • I bet you don't have a hard time believing,
  • 00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:16.111
  • I hate silence.
  • 00:14:16.111 --> 00:14:19.081
  • I hate solitude.
  • 00:14:19.081 --> 00:14:21.717
  • I hate being by myself.
  • 00:14:21.717 --> 00:14:24.586
  • I hate doing nothing.
  • 00:14:24.586 --> 00:14:26.322
  • I always want to be doing something,
  • 00:14:26.322 --> 00:14:29.825
  • But that's not a good thing.
  • 00:14:29.825 --> 00:14:32.094
  • You know, the french philosopher pascal talked about
  • 00:14:32.094 --> 00:14:34.897
  • Our natural aversion to silence.
  • 00:14:34.897 --> 00:14:36.865
  • He said, "i have often said that the sole cause
  • 00:14:36.865 --> 00:14:40.269
  • Of man's unhappiness is that he does not know
  • 00:14:40.269 --> 00:14:44.740
  • How to stay quietly in his room."
  • 00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:47.843
  • There is a value to silence.
  • 00:14:48.444 --> 00:14:52.414
  • You see, we all, i think,
  • 00:14:52.414 --> 00:14:53.916
  • Or many of us have an addiction to busyness, to activity.
  • 00:14:53.916 --> 00:14:56.552
  • The problem with that is it's in busyness and activity
  • 00:14:56.552 --> 00:15:01.156
  • That we fail to hear the voice of god.
  • 00:15:01.156 --> 00:15:04.360
  • You see, god is always speaking to us.
  • 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.261
  • If we're his children, he's always speaking to us.
  • 00:15:06.261 --> 00:15:08.597
  • The problem is we're not always listening to him.
  • 00:15:08.597 --> 00:15:11.633
  • And an intermission in life is a great time to stop
  • 00:15:11.633 --> 00:15:15.838
  • And to start listening to the voice of god.
  • 00:15:15.838 --> 00:15:18.807
  • I mean, think about elijah for a moment.
  • 00:15:18.807 --> 00:15:20.876
  • You know, elijah was addicted to activity.
  • 00:15:20.876 --> 00:15:23.045
  • He loved preaching sermons and performing miracles
  • 00:15:23.045 --> 00:15:25.981
  • And killing false prophets.
  • 00:15:25.981 --> 00:15:27.383
  • I mean, he was addicted to activity,
  • 00:15:27.383 --> 00:15:30.085
  • But he wasn't listening to god.
  • 00:15:30.085 --> 00:15:31.553
  • And so after elijah had some r and r and he had eaten
  • 00:15:31.553 --> 00:15:36.492
  • And he had rested up, god sent him to mount horeb
  • 00:15:36.492 --> 00:15:40.662
  • And he took up residence in a cave there.
  • 00:15:40.662 --> 00:15:43.532
  • Elijah still thought he was the only righteous person
  • 00:15:44.633 --> 00:15:47.403
  • Left on the face of the earth
  • 00:15:47.403 --> 00:15:48.937
  • And that the chances of any kind of great revival were gone.
  • 00:15:48.937 --> 00:15:54.209
  • But god told elijah one day to step out of the cave
  • 00:15:55.244 --> 00:15:57.679
  • And god wanted to give elijah a bigger perspective
  • 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.183
  • And a display of god's power.
  • 00:16:01.183 --> 00:16:03.552
  • We read that passage in 1 kings 19 11-13.
  • 00:16:03.552 --> 00:16:07.322
  • "so god said, 'go forth and stand on the mountain
  • 00:16:07.322 --> 00:16:10.492
  • Before the lord.'
  • 00:16:10.492 --> 00:16:11.794
  • And, behold, the lord was passing by,
  • 00:16:11.794 --> 00:16:14.863
  • And a great and strong wind was rendering the mountains,
  • 00:16:14.863 --> 00:16:17.800
  • And brake in pieces the rocks before the lord;
  • 00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:20.969
  • But the lord was not in the wind and after the wind
  • 00:16:20.969 --> 00:16:24.306
  • An earthquake; but the lord was not in the earthquake.
  • 00:16:24.306 --> 00:16:28.077
  • And after the earthquake a fire;
  • 00:16:28.077 --> 00:16:30.212
  • But the lord was not in the fire:
  • 00:16:30.212 --> 00:16:32.381
  • And after the fire, a sound of a gentle blowing.
  • 00:16:32.381 --> 00:16:37.719
  • And it came about when elijah heard it,"
  • 00:16:38.587 --> 00:16:40.622
  • That is the gentle blowing, "that he wrapped his face
  • 00:16:40.622 --> 00:16:44.226
  • In his mantle, and he went out,
  • 00:16:44.226 --> 00:16:46.028
  • And he stood in the entrance of the cave.
  • 00:16:46.028 --> 00:16:48.297
  • And, behold a voice came to him
  • 00:16:48.297 --> 00:16:50.132
  • And said, 'what are you doing here, elijah?'"
  • 00:16:50.132 --> 00:16:55.003
  • Wasn't in the fire, the wind, the earthquake.
  • 00:16:55.938 --> 00:16:58.040
  • It was in that gentle blowing, in that moment of quietness
  • 00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:02.478
  • That elijah heard god say, "why are you still here?"
  • 00:17:02.478 --> 00:17:07.783
  • Your second act is ready to begin.
  • 00:17:08.517 --> 00:17:11.954
  • It's important that we take time to listen
  • 00:17:12.855 --> 00:17:15.958
  • To the voice of god.
  • 00:17:15.958 --> 00:17:17.626
  • Let me encourage you if you're in an intermission time,
  • 00:17:17.626 --> 00:17:21.997
  • And by the way, you don't have to wait till an intermission
  • 00:17:21.997 --> 00:17:23.966
  • To do it, but if you are in an intermission time,
  • 00:17:23.966 --> 00:17:26.335
  • Spend some time alone with god to allow him to speak to you.
  • 00:17:26.335 --> 00:17:30.305
  • Now, if you're not used to doing that,
  • 00:17:30.305 --> 00:17:31.640
  • Don't think you're going to go spend a week
  • 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.308
  • With god by yourself.
  • 00:17:33.308 --> 00:17:34.543
  • That usually doesn't work.
  • 00:17:34.543 --> 00:17:36.011
  • You may not even be able to spend a whole day
  • 00:17:36.011 --> 00:17:38.280
  • Or a half a day, but just take one
  • 00:17:38.280 --> 00:17:40.282
  • Or two hours to spend alone with god.
  • 00:17:40.282 --> 00:17:42.985
  • And i want to give you three suggestions for what to do
  • 00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:46.188
  • During your time alone with god.
  • 00:17:46.188 --> 00:17:47.823
  • Number one, during that time, if it's an hour, two hours,
  • 00:17:47.823 --> 00:17:51.193
  • However long it is, allow god to speak to you
  • 00:17:51.193 --> 00:17:54.730
  • Through his word.
  • 00:17:54.730 --> 00:17:56.098
  • Allow god to speak to you through his word.
  • 00:17:56.098 --> 00:17:58.200
  • Whenever you're reading scripture, you can know
  • 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.736
  • For sure you're listening to the voice of god.
  • 00:18:00.736 --> 00:18:03.972
  • God speaks through his word.
  • 00:18:03.972 --> 00:18:06.175
  • Let me give you a couple of passages that you might use
  • 00:18:06.175 --> 00:18:09.178
  • To allow god to speak to you.
  • 00:18:09.178 --> 00:18:10.712
  • Psalm 34, which extols the faithfulness of god.
  • 00:18:10.712 --> 00:18:15.450
  • Or psalm 51, that reminds us of the forgiveness of god,
  • 00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:19.254
  • Especially after failure.
  • 00:18:19.254 --> 00:18:21.023
  • We need to be reminded of that, don't we?
  • 00:18:21.023 --> 00:18:22.758
  • This is david's prayer of confession, psalm 51.
  • 00:18:22.758 --> 00:18:26.528
  • One of my favorites is romans 8, that reminds us
  • 00:18:26.528 --> 00:18:30.165
  • Of the love of god from which we can never be separated.
  • 00:18:30.165 --> 00:18:34.436
  • Use part of that time to allow god
  • 00:18:34.436 --> 00:18:36.371
  • To speak to you through his word.
  • 00:18:36.371 --> 00:18:37.873
  • Secondly, during part of that time,
  • 00:18:37.873 --> 00:18:40.375
  • Read a chapter or two from a good christian book
  • 00:18:40.375 --> 00:18:43.912
  • That emphasizes the character of god.
  • 00:18:43.912 --> 00:18:47.983
  • Remember, during your intermission,
  • 00:18:48.717 --> 00:18:50.953
  • You're trying to reconnect,
  • 00:18:50.953 --> 00:18:54.556
  • Not with a set of ideas,
  • 00:18:54.556 --> 00:18:56.792
  • But with a person, with god.
  • 00:18:56.792 --> 00:18:59.294
  • And during our intermission,
  • 00:18:59.294 --> 00:19:00.529
  • We need to remind ourselves of who god is.
  • 00:19:00.529 --> 00:19:03.498
  • So that's why i say read a chapter or two
  • 00:19:03.498 --> 00:19:05.867
  • Of a good christian book that centers on the attributes,
  • 00:19:05.867 --> 00:19:08.570
  • The characteristics of god.
  • 00:19:08.570 --> 00:19:10.105
  • Let me mention three.
  • 00:19:10.105 --> 00:19:11.240
  • One is "knowing god" by j.i. packer.
  • 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.777
  • The other two are by a.w. tozer,
  • 00:19:16.411 --> 00:19:18.947
  • "the knowledge of the holy"
  • 00:19:18.947 --> 00:19:20.616
  • And "the pursuit of the holy",
  • 00:19:20.616 --> 00:19:22.117
  • Both classic volumes about the attributes of god.
  • 00:19:22.117 --> 00:19:26.788
  • And number three, during your time with god,
  • 00:19:26.788 --> 00:19:28.657
  • Allow god to speak to your situation
  • 00:19:28.657 --> 00:19:31.426
  • By asking him some specific questions.
  • 00:19:31.426 --> 00:19:34.863
  • Now, if you want to hear god speak to your situation,
  • 00:19:35.897 --> 00:19:38.433
  • There's some specific questions you ought to ask him.
  • 00:19:38.433 --> 00:19:41.136
  • Here are four of them.
  • 00:19:41.136 --> 00:19:42.904
  • We looked at them earlier.
  • 00:19:42.904 --> 00:19:44.006
  • Let's look at them again.
  • 00:19:44.006 --> 00:19:45.240
  • Number one, what am i doing in my life
  • 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.310
  • That is displeasing you?
  • 00:19:48.310 --> 00:19:50.178
  • When you pray, "lord, show me anything in my life
  • 00:19:51.179 --> 00:19:53.482
  • That is displeasing to you," i guarantee you
  • 00:19:53.482 --> 00:19:55.317
  • That's one prayer god answers every time.
  • 00:19:55.317 --> 00:19:58.220
  • He's happy to point it out if you're willing to ask.
  • 00:19:58.220 --> 00:20:01.023
  • Number two, "what do you want me to do
  • 00:20:01.023 --> 00:20:03.659
  • That i'm not now doing?"
  • 00:20:03.659 --> 00:20:05.794
  • "lord, is there anything you want me to start doing
  • 00:20:05.794 --> 00:20:07.929
  • In my life that i'm not now doing?"
  • 00:20:07.929 --> 00:20:10.565
  • Number three, "am i more interested in pleasing you
  • 00:20:10.565 --> 00:20:13.902
  • Or in pleasing others?"
  • 00:20:14.403 --> 00:20:15.704
  • That's a key question.
  • 00:20:15.704 --> 00:20:17.873
  • And number four, am i defining success and failure
  • 00:20:17.873 --> 00:20:21.276
  • By your standards or other people's standards?
  • 00:20:21.276 --> 00:20:24.813
  • When we feel like we failed
  • 00:20:24.813 --> 00:20:26.548
  • And we're in an intermission, we need to really know,
  • 00:20:26.548 --> 00:20:28.984
  • Is this failure legitimate
  • 00:20:28.984 --> 00:20:31.953
  • Or is it because i've failed to meet
  • 00:20:31.953 --> 00:20:34.723
  • Some unrealistic standard, not god's standard?
  • 00:20:34.723 --> 00:20:38.060
  • Fifth principle, remember,
  • 00:20:38.627 --> 00:20:41.430
  • The curtain will rise again.
  • 00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:44.533
  • You know, our failure in our first act seems so final,
  • 00:20:44.533 --> 00:20:48.303
  • But ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't have to be final.
  • 00:20:48.303 --> 00:20:51.573
  • Your failure doesn't have to be a period,
  • 00:20:51.573 --> 00:20:54.509
  • It can be a comma in your life story.
  • 00:20:54.509 --> 00:20:57.813
  • A great illustration of that is found
  • 00:20:58.580 --> 00:21:00.716
  • In the life of jesus himself.
  • 00:21:00.716 --> 00:21:03.819
  • Think about jesus' life.
  • 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.221
  • By the time good friday had rolled around, jesus was thought
  • 00:21:06.221 --> 00:21:11.226
  • To have been a failure by most people.
  • 00:21:11.226 --> 00:21:13.295
  • I mean after all the movement he started
  • 00:21:13.295 --> 00:21:15.230
  • That attracted thousands of people had dwindled
  • 00:21:15.230 --> 00:21:17.933
  • To just a handful of followers,
  • 00:21:17.933 --> 00:21:19.968
  • And most of those had deserted him.
  • 00:21:19.968 --> 00:21:22.938
  • His promise of a kingdom,
  • 00:21:22.938 --> 00:21:24.373
  • A new kingdom that failed to materialize.
  • 00:21:24.373 --> 00:21:27.476
  • And instead, jesus christ was crucified.
  • 00:21:27.476 --> 00:21:31.380
  • And when he died, he died alone.
  • 00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:35.117
  • He was deserted by his family members, his closest friends,
  • 00:21:35.117 --> 00:21:40.455
  • And even by his heavenly father.
  • 00:21:41.089 --> 00:21:43.458
  • My god, my god, why have you forsaken me?
  • 00:21:43.458 --> 00:21:47.796
  • Jesus was dead.
  • 00:21:48.163 --> 00:21:49.731
  • He had failed or so it seemed,
  • 00:21:50.365 --> 00:21:53.702
  • But that wasn't the end of his story.
  • 00:21:53.702 --> 00:21:57.172
  • As one writer says,
  • 00:21:57.639 --> 00:21:59.741
  • "and so they put his body in a cave."
  • 00:21:59.741 --> 00:22:03.712
  • That was their big mistake.
  • 00:22:03.712 --> 00:22:06.448
  • "his body was there for three days,
  • 00:22:06.448 --> 00:22:09.284
  • But they could not keep him there.
  • 00:22:09.284 --> 00:22:11.953
  • They forgot that god does some of his best work in caves.
  • 00:22:11.953 --> 00:22:17.259
  • The cave is where god resurrects dead things."
