Something funny. one day in heaven, god said to the men,
00:00:30.987 --> 00:00:33.256
Heaven, god said to the men, “i want you to form two
00:00:33.323 --> 00:00:34.124
“i want you to form two lines. one line is for the
00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:36.326
Lines. one line is for the men who were the head of the
00:00:36.392 --> 00:00:37.961
Men who were the head of the house. the other line is for
00:00:38.027 --> 00:00:39.963
House. the other line is for the men who let the woman be
00:00:40.029 --> 00:00:41.798
The men who let the woman be the head of the house.” the
00:00:41.865 --> 00:00:43.566
The head of the house.” the line where the woman ran the
00:00:43.633 --> 00:00:44.734
Line where the woman ran the house was a hundred miles
00:00:44.801 --> 00:00:46.202
House was a hundred miles long. the other line only
00:00:46.269 --> 00:00:48.271
Long. the other line only had one man in it. god said,
00:00:48.338 --> 00:00:50.440
Had one man in it. god said, “men, i'm ashamed of you. i
00:00:50.507 --> 00:00:51.975
“men, i'm ashamed of you. i created you to be the head
00:00:52.041 --> 00:00:53.643
Created you to be the head but only one man stood up to
00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:55.445
But only one man stood up to make me proud.” he looked at
00:00:55.512 --> 00:00:57.347
Make me proud.” he looked at him and said, “son, tell them
00:00:57.413 --> 00:00:59.282
Him and said, “son, tell them how did you manage to be the
00:00:59.349 --> 00:01:00.717
How did you manage to be the only one in this line?” the
00:01:00.783 --> 00:01:02.752
Only one in this line?” the man looked confused and said,
00:01:02.819 --> 00:01:03.953
Man looked confused and said, “i don't know. my wife told
00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:05.555
“i don't know. my wife told me to stand here.” (laughter)
00:01:05.622 --> 00:01:07.157
Me to stand here.” (laughter) come on, say it like you mean

Direct message. i hear my phone buzzing in my sleep.
00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:07.283
Phone buzzing in my sleep. the other night it was
00:02:07.350 --> 00:02:08.251
The other night it was vibrating by my bed, three in
00:02:08.318 --> 00:02:09.886
Vibrating by my bed, three in the morning. i usually ignore

And picked it up. it was a news flash. it said, “there's
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.795
News flash. it said, “there's a storm coming to taiwan.” i
00:02:18.861 --> 00:02:21.631
A storm coming to taiwan.” i thought i don't need to know
00:02:21.698 --> 00:02:23.933
Thought i don't need to know about a storm in taiwan. i
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.235
About a storm in taiwan. i need to sleep. many people
00:02:25.301 --> 00:02:27.804
Need to sleep. many people are suffering from
00:02:27.870 --> 00:02:29.038
Are suffering from information overload. they've
00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:31.441
Information overload. they've taken in so much news, facts,
00:02:31.507 --> 00:02:34.043
Taken in so much news, facts, opinions, theories. they
00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:36.246
Opinions, theories. they wonder why they can't sleep,
00:02:36.312 --> 00:02:38.147
Wonder why they can't sleep, why they're irritable, don't
00:02:38.214 --> 00:02:39.749
Why they're irritable, don't enjoy their family. they have
00:02:39.816 --> 00:02:41.818
Enjoy their family. they have too much noise in their life.
00:02:41.884 --> 00:02:44.320
Too much noise in their life. you can't listen to news for
00:02:44.387 --> 00:02:46.055
You can't listen to news for hours a day and stay
00:02:46.122 --> 00:02:47.523
Hours a day and stay peaceful. you can't take in
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:49.659
Peaceful. you can't take in all the killings, and
00:02:49.726 --> 00:02:50.927
All the killings, and accidents, wars, and stay in
00:02:50.994 --> 00:02:53.096
Accidents, wars, and stay in faith. that's poisoning your
00:02:53.162 --> 00:02:55.131
Faith. that's poisoning your spirit. if you live on social
00:02:55.198 --> 00:02:57.467
Spirit. if you live on social media, read all the gossip,
00:02:57.533 --> 00:03:00.136
Media, read all the gossip, arguing, competing,
00:03:00.203 --> 00:03:02.038
Arguing, competing, comparing, you're not going
00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:03.539
Comparing, you're not going to be your best. you have to
00:03:03.606 --> 00:03:05.675
To be your best. you have to turn down the noise. there
00:03:05.742 --> 00:03:07.877
Turn down the noise. there are forces trying to get your
00:03:07.944 --> 00:03:09.479
Are forces trying to get your attention, to get you
00:03:09.545 --> 00:03:10.947
Attention, to get you distracted, bring
00:03:11.014 --> 00:03:12.649
Distracted, bring divisiveness, cause you to be
00:03:12.715 --> 00:03:14.684
Divisiveness, cause you to be jealous, discontent, afraid.
00:03:14.751 --> 00:03:17.654
Jealous, discontent, afraid. “what if this happens. it's
00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:18.955
“what if this happens. it's getting so bad.” god said in
00:03:19.022 --> 00:03:21.691
Getting so bad.” god said in isaiah, “if you'll keep your
00:03:21.758 --> 00:03:23.593
Isaiah, “if you'll keep your mind stayed on me, i will
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:25.828
Mind stayed on me, i will keep you in perfect peace.”
00:03:25.895 --> 00:03:28.564
Keep you in perfect peace.” we wonder why we don't have
00:03:28.631 --> 00:03:29.832
We wonder why we don't have peace; our mind is stayed on
00:03:29.899 --> 00:03:32.068
Peace; our mind is stayed on the wrong things. i'm not
00:03:32.135 --> 00:03:34.137
The wrong things. i'm not saying to never watch the
00:03:34.203 --> 00:03:35.238
Saying to never watch the news, but after a few
00:03:35.305 --> 00:03:37.040
News, but after a few minutes, you have what you
00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:38.441
Minutes, you have what you need. hearing the same thing,
00:03:38.508 --> 00:03:40.777
Need. hearing the same thing, for the next three hours, all
00:03:40.843 --> 00:03:42.445
For the next three hours, all that's going to do is get you
00:03:42.512 --> 00:03:43.813
That's going to do is get you stirred up, frustrated.
00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:46.649
Stirred up, frustrated. noise is not only from
00:03:46.716 --> 00:03:48.151
Noise is not only from technology, but we have
00:03:48.217 --> 00:03:50.086
Technology, but we have people in life that are
00:03:50.153 --> 00:03:51.554
People in life that are noisy. a coworker doesn't
00:03:51.621 --> 00:03:54.190
Noisy. a coworker doesn't like you, talks behind your
00:03:54.257 --> 00:03:55.792
Like you, talks behind your back; that negative chatter.
00:03:55.858 --> 00:03:57.393
Back; that negative chatter. or maybe a friend is noisy.
00:03:57.460 --> 00:04:00.363
Or maybe a friend is noisy. they always have drama,
00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:01.998
They always have drama, something's wrong. they're
00:04:02.065 --> 00:04:03.566
Something's wrong. they're calling you to fix it. as you
00:04:03.633 --> 00:04:06.002
Calling you to fix it. as you gain more influence, god
00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:07.970
Gain more influence, god promotes you. you manage the
00:04:08.037 --> 00:04:09.806
Promotes you. you manage the department, you lead the team
00:04:09.872 --> 00:04:11.874
Department, you lead the team at school, with that
00:04:11.941 --> 00:04:13.376
At school, with that promotion comes more noise.
00:04:13.443 --> 00:04:15.845
Promotion comes more noise. people will find fault, be
00:04:15.912 --> 00:04:17.313
People will find fault, be critical, and jealous.
00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:19.449
Critical, and jealous. here's the key, you can't
00:04:19.515 --> 00:04:20.917
Here's the key, you can't stop the noise from coming,
00:04:20.983 --> 00:04:23.019
Stop the noise from coming, but you can turn the noise
00:04:23.086 --> 00:04:24.354
But you can turn the noise down. be selective in what
00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:27.757
Down. be selective in what you give your time and
00:04:27.824 --> 00:04:28.991
You give your time and attention to. don't leave the
00:04:29.058 --> 00:04:31.127
Attention to. don't leave the news on at the house in the
00:04:31.194 --> 00:04:33.229
News on at the house in the background all through the
00:04:33.296 --> 00:04:34.764
Background all through the day. or even drive to and
00:04:34.831 --> 00:04:36.933
Day. or even drive to and from work with that
00:04:36.999 --> 00:04:38.000
From work with that constantly going into you.
00:04:38.067 --> 00:04:40.069
Constantly going into you. that's creating the wrong
00:04:40.136 --> 00:04:41.204
That's creating the wrong atmosphere. how much noise
00:04:41.270 --> 00:04:43.606
Atmosphere. how much noise are you allowing from what
00:04:43.673 --> 00:04:45.441
Are you allowing from what coworkers are saying about
00:04:45.508 --> 00:04:46.843
Coworkers are saying about you, dwelling on the medical
00:04:46.909 --> 00:04:48.811
You, dwelling on the medical report, worried about your
00:04:48.878 --> 00:04:50.513
Report, worried about your finances. all that noise is
00:04:50.580 --> 00:04:53.549
Finances. all that noise is draining your energy, taking
00:04:53.616 --> 00:04:55.651
Draining your energy, taking your creativity, stealing
00:04:55.718 --> 00:04:57.453
Your creativity, stealing your joy. how much more
00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:59.589
Your joy. how much more peaceful would you be, how
00:04:59.655 --> 00:05:01.324
Peaceful would you be, how much happier would you live,
00:05:01.391 --> 00:05:03.559
Much happier would you live, if you would start turning
00:05:03.626 --> 00:05:04.694
If you would start turning down the noise. not
00:05:04.761 --> 00:05:06.562
Down the noise. not eliminating it, that's not
00:05:06.629 --> 00:05:08.364
Eliminating it, that's not possible. you're never going
00:05:08.431 --> 00:05:10.133
Possible. you're never going to stop people from talking
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:11.467
To stop people from talking about you. just quit dwelling
00:05:11.534 --> 00:05:13.069
About you. just quit dwelling on it. they don't control
00:05:13.136 --> 00:05:14.971
On it. they don't control your destiny. what they say
00:05:15.037 --> 00:05:17.106
Your destiny. what they say can't stop your purpose. god
00:05:17.173 --> 00:05:18.875
Can't stop your purpose. god is your vindicator. he's
00:05:18.941 --> 00:05:20.843
Is your vindicator. he's fighting your battles. that
00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:23.012
Fighting your battles. that noise is a distraction to try
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.348
Noise is a distraction to try to get you off course, live
00:05:25.415 --> 00:05:27.283
To get you off course, live worried, upset.
00:05:27.350 --> 00:05:29.252
Worried, upset. one of the most important
00:05:29.318 --> 00:05:30.520
One of the most important things you have is your time.
00:05:30.586 --> 00:05:33.523
Things you have is your time. what you give your attention
00:05:33.589 --> 00:05:34.924
What you give your attention to is incredibly valuable. if
00:05:34.991 --> 00:05:37.960
To is incredibly valuable. if the enemy can keep you
00:05:38.027 --> 00:05:39.028
The enemy can keep you distracted, focused on things
00:05:39.095 --> 00:05:41.330
Distracted, focused on things that don't matter, cluttered
00:05:41.397 --> 00:05:43.232
That don't matter, cluttered by the noise, then he can
00:05:43.299 --> 00:05:45.001
By the noise, then he can keep you from your destiny.
00:05:45.067 --> 00:05:47.570
Keep you from your destiny. the scripture says to be
00:05:47.637 --> 00:05:48.771
The scripture says to be aware of the enemy's schemes
00:05:48.838 --> 00:05:50.873
Aware of the enemy's schemes and strategies. the noise is
00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:53.443
And strategies. the noise is a strategy to steal your
00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:55.077
A strategy to steal your time, get you worried,
00:05:55.144 --> 00:05:57.480
Time, get you worried, frustrated, fighting battles

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:06.115
The office, the people you eat lunch with. maybe some of
00:12:06.182 --> 00:12:08.117

Them talking bad about the boss, they don't like the
00:12:09.618 --> 00:12:11.120
Boss, they don't like the company, how this new policy
00:12:11.187 --> 00:12:13.322
Company, how this new policy is not fair. stirring up
00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:15.124

Trouble, sowing discord. gossiping, disgruntled. the

Gossiping, disgruntled. the problem is that spirit can
00:12:20.196 --> 00:12:22.364
Problem is that spirit can get off on you. where you
00:12:22.431 --> 00:12:24.266
Get off on you. where you become disgruntled,
00:12:24.333 --> 00:12:25.534
Become disgruntled, complaining, repeating
00:12:25.601 --> 00:12:27.069
Complaining, repeating negative things. that's
00:12:27.136 --> 00:12:28.270
Negative things. that's poisoning you. why don't you
00:12:28.337 --> 00:12:30.239
Poisoning you. why don't you find someplace else to eat
00:12:30.306 --> 00:12:31.707
Find someplace else to eat lunch. everyone else may be
00:12:31.774 --> 00:12:33.976
Lunch. everyone else may be noisy, but that's not who you
00:12:34.043 --> 00:12:35.644

Keep your spirit in faith. this is one of the main
00:12:40.816 --> 00:12:41.884
This is one of the main things that holds people
00:12:41.951 --> 00:12:43.419
Things that holds people back. who they're spending
00:12:43.485 --> 00:12:44.920
Back. who they're spending time with. if you're hanging
00:12:44.987 --> 00:12:47.122
Time with. if you're hanging out with noisy people, you're
00:12:47.189 --> 00:12:49.191
Out with noisy people, you're going to get distracted,
00:12:49.258 --> 00:12:50.759
Going to get distracted, start to compromise, become
00:12:50.826 --> 00:12:52.728

Noise keep you from your destiny. if you'll make a
00:12:56.398 --> 00:12:58.000
Destiny. if you'll make a change, god will bring you

And not the worst. no one was more loving and
00:13:07.176 --> 00:13:08.711
No one was more loving and caring than jesus. but he
00:13:08.777 --> 00:13:11.113
Caring than jesus. but he even knew, he couldn't meet
00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:13.449
Even knew, he couldn't meet all the needs and fulfill
00:13:13.515 --> 00:13:15.284
All the needs and fulfill everyone's expectations. he
00:13:15.351 --> 00:13:17.553
Everyone's expectations. he let some people down. there
00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:19.154
Let some people down. there were crowds all around him,
00:13:19.221 --> 00:13:20.923
Were crowds all around him, people needing healing,
00:13:20.990 --> 00:13:22.091
People needing healing, people needing prayer,

People needing prayer, needing encouragement, but
00:13:23.325 --> 00:13:25.294
Needing encouragement, but the scripture says, “he often
00:13:25.361 --> 00:13:27.563
The scripture says, “he often withdrew to a quiet place to
00:13:27.630 --> 00:13:29.798

Him, religious leaders trying to trick him.” he couldn't
00:13:41.644 --> 00:13:43.612
To trick him.” he couldn't stop all the noise, but he
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.281
Stop all the noise, but he did know how to turn it down.
00:13:45.347 --> 00:13:47.750
Did know how to turn it down. quiet his mind. quiet his
00:13:47.816 --> 00:13:49.885
Quiet his mind. quiet his spirit and live from a place
00:13:49.952 --> 00:13:51.787
Spirit and live from a place of peace. on a regular basis,
00:13:51.854 --> 00:13:54.890
Of peace. on a regular basis, we need to take inventory of

We need to take inventory of what's in our mind. pay
00:13:57.026 --> 00:13:58.827
What's in our mind. pay attention to any clutter,

Attention to any clutter, worry, offense, fear, and do

Like jesus, make that decision to get quiet and
00:14:05.234 --> 00:14:07.269
Decision to get quiet and turn all that down. come back

Turn all that down. come back to a place of peace.
00:14:09.505 --> 00:14:11.640
To a place of peace. years ago, i used to get my
00:14:11.707 --> 00:14:13.242
Years ago, i used to get my haircut by this lady. she's
00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:15.110
Haircut by this lady. she's very nice, very faithful, but
00:14:15.177 --> 00:14:18.080
Very nice, very faithful, but she was so negative. every
00:14:18.147 --> 00:14:20.282
She was so negative. every time i went, she told me how
00:14:20.349 --> 00:14:22.351
Time i went, she told me how mistreated she was, and how
00:14:22.418 --> 00:14:24.320
Mistreated she was, and how she couldn't pay her rent,
00:14:24.386 --> 00:14:25.354
She couldn't pay her rent, and how she was dealing with
00:14:25.421 --> 00:14:27.189
And how she was dealing with health issues. on and on. i
00:14:27.256 --> 00:14:29.858
Health issues. on and on. i went out of my way to help
00:14:29.925 --> 00:14:31.193
Went out of my way to help her. paid her rent some,
00:14:31.260 --> 00:14:33.362
Her. paid her rent some, called her mom to encourage
00:14:33.429 --> 00:14:34.797
Called her mom to encourage her. i was glad to do it. but
00:14:34.863 --> 00:14:37.366
Her. i was glad to do it. but after about four years of
00:14:37.433 --> 00:14:39.368
After about four years of hearing that same sad story
00:14:39.435 --> 00:14:41.403
Hearing that same sad story and how unfair life was, i
00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:44.573
And how unfair life was, i started dreading getting my
00:14:44.640 --> 00:14:46.041
Started dreading getting my hair cut. i didn't want to go
00:14:46.108 --> 00:14:48.277
Hair cut. i didn't want to go see her, but i felt
00:14:48.344 --> 00:14:49.845
See her, but i felt obligated. i'm too nice. i
00:14:49.912 --> 00:14:51.714
Obligated. i'm too nice. i didn't want to disappoint
00:14:51.780 --> 00:14:52.815
Didn't want to disappoint her, i thought, “if i don't
00:14:52.881 --> 00:14:54.216
Her, i thought, “if i don't go, what's she going to
00:14:54.283 --> 00:14:55.150
Go, what's she going to think?” one day, i realized
00:14:55.217 --> 00:14:57.653
Think?” one day, i realized what i'm telling you that my
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.355
What i'm telling you that my peace is important. that my
00:14:59.421 --> 00:15:01.590
Peace is important. that my time is valuable. that i
00:15:01.657 --> 00:15:03.859
Time is valuable. that i cannot fulfill my destiny if
00:15:03.926 --> 00:15:07.162
Cannot fulfill my destiny if i'm living with unnecessary
00:15:07.229 --> 00:15:08.964
I'm living with unnecessary noise, burdened down with
00:15:09.031 --> 00:15:11.000
Noise, burdened down with problems that are not my
00:15:11.066 --> 00:15:12.668
Problems that are not my responsibility. i realized
00:15:12.735 --> 00:15:15.471
Responsibility. i realized this lady didn't want to
00:15:15.537 --> 00:15:17.072
This lady didn't want to change. she was addicted to
00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:19.274
Change. she was addicted to drama, comfortable in
00:15:19.341 --> 00:15:21.276
Drama, comfortable in dysfunction. living as a
00:15:21.343 --> 00:15:23.045
Dysfunction. living as a victim was all she had known.
00:15:23.112 --> 00:15:25.514
Victim was all she had known. i believe in helping people,
00:15:25.581 --> 00:15:27.049
I believe in helping people, going the extra mile, but
00:15:27.116 --> 00:15:29.084
Going the extra mile, but some people don't want to be
00:15:29.151 --> 00:15:30.686
Some people don't want to be helped. they won't put forth
00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:32.721
Helped. they won't put forth the effort, be disciplined in
00:15:32.788 --> 00:15:34.857
The effort, be disciplined in their thinking, willing to
00:15:34.923 --> 00:15:36.392
Their thinking, willing to make changes. the problem is
00:15:36.458 --> 00:15:39.161
Make changes. the problem is if you don't make a change,
00:15:39.228 --> 00:15:40.896
If you don't make a change, their noise will clutter your
00:15:40.963 --> 00:15:42.698
Their noise will clutter your life. their drama will become
00:15:42.765 --> 00:15:45.034
Life. their drama will become your drama. to turn down the
00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:47.569
Your drama. to turn down the noise, you may have to spend
00:15:47.636 --> 00:15:49.805
Noise, you may have to spend less time with certain
00:15:49.872 --> 00:15:51.373
Less time with certain people. and here's the deal,
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.575
People. and here's the deal, you shouldn't feel guilty.
00:15:53.642 --> 00:15:55.277
You shouldn't feel guilty. god has entrusted you with
00:15:55.344 --> 00:15:57.046
God has entrusted you with gifts, with time, and with
00:15:57.112 --> 00:15:59.681
Gifts, with time, and with purpose. you have a
00:15:59.748 --> 00:16:01.450
Purpose. you have a responsibility to use what
00:16:01.517 --> 00:16:03.552
Responsibility to use what he's given you wisely. when
00:16:03.619 --> 00:16:06.255
He's given you wisely. when we come to the end of life,
00:16:06.321 --> 00:16:08.057
We come to the end of life, we're not going to answer to
00:16:08.123 --> 00:16:08.991
We're not going to answer to people, we're going to answer
00:16:09.058 --> 00:16:10.592
People, we're going to answer to god. he's going to ask,
00:16:10.659 --> 00:16:12.961
To god. he's going to ask, “what did you do with what i
00:16:13.028 --> 00:16:14.797
“what did you do with what i gave you? were you a good
00:16:14.863 --> 00:16:16.899
Gave you? were you a good steward of what i entrusted
00:16:16.965 --> 00:16:18.634
Steward of what i entrusted you with?” if your mind is
00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:21.003
You with?” if your mind is cluttered with noise, drama,
00:16:21.070 --> 00:16:23.238
Cluttered with noise, drama, news, “man, i got to keep
00:16:23.305 --> 00:16:24.440
News, “man, i got to keep them happy, guilty from my
00:16:24.506 --> 00:16:26.375
Them happy, guilty from my mistakes, worried about my
00:16:26.442 --> 00:16:28.310
Mistakes, worried about my future”; you won't step in to
00:16:28.377 --> 00:16:31.013
Future”; you won't step in to who you were created to be.
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.315
Who you were created to be. why don't you do like jesus
00:16:33.382 --> 00:16:34.683
Why don't you do like jesus and get alone to a quiet
00:16:34.750 --> 00:16:36.618
And get alone to a quiet place. every day you have to
00:16:36.685 --> 00:16:38.987
Place. every day you have to turn down the noise, the
00:16:39.054 --> 00:16:41.056
Turn down the noise, the negative chatter, what people
00:16:41.123 --> 00:16:43.292
Negative chatter, what people are saying, the worry that
00:16:43.358 --> 00:16:45.294
Are saying, the worry that tries to dominate, the doom
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.529
Tries to dominate, the doom and gloom that might happen.
00:16:47.596 --> 00:16:49.631
And gloom that might happen. you have the volume control.
00:16:49.698 --> 00:16:52.067
You have the volume control. stay in peace. that's where
00:16:52.134 --> 00:16:53.869
Stay in peace. that's where the power is. when you're in
00:16:53.936 --> 00:16:56.004
The power is. when you're in peace, god is fighting your
00:16:56.071 --> 00:16:57.739
Peace, god is fighting your battles. when you're at rest,
00:16:57.806 --> 00:17:00.209
Battles. when you're at rest, angels go to work, things
00:17:00.275 --> 00:17:02.077
Angels go to work, things will happen that you couldn't
00:17:02.144 --> 00:17:03.679
Will happen that you couldn't make happen.
00:17:03.745 --> 00:17:05.280
Make happen. this is what peter did. in
00:17:05.347 --> 00:17:07.015
This is what peter did. in acts 12, king herod had him
00:17:07.082 --> 00:17:09.551
Acts 12, king herod had him arrested for sharing his
00:17:09.618 --> 00:17:11.053
Arrested for sharing his faith. he was put in the
00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:12.754
Faith. he was put in the dungeon, his hands and feet
00:17:12.821 --> 00:17:15.124
Dungeon, his hands and feet in chains, sixteen guards
00:17:15.190 --> 00:17:17.192
In chains, sixteen guards outside his cell. the apostle
00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:19.828
Outside his cell. the apostle james had been killed just a
00:17:19.895 --> 00:17:21.930
James had been killed just a little earlier. when herod
00:17:21.997 --> 00:17:23.999
Little earlier. when herod saw how this pleased the
00:17:24.066 --> 00:17:25.267
Saw how this pleased the people, he had peter
00:17:25.334 --> 00:17:26.602
People, he had peter arrested. the next day, peter
00:17:26.668 --> 00:17:29.404
Arrested. the next day, peter was going on trial. he knew
00:17:29.471 --> 00:17:31.840
Was going on trial. he knew this could be the last night
00:17:31.907 --> 00:17:33.642
This could be the last night of his life. you can imagine
00:17:33.709 --> 00:17:36.278
Of his life. you can imagine the noise in his mind. how
00:17:36.345 --> 00:17:38.547
The noise in his mind. how loud those thoughts were
00:17:38.614 --> 00:17:39.715
Loud those thoughts were telling him, “you're done.
00:17:39.781 --> 00:17:42.251
Telling him, “you're done. man, it's over. there's no
00:17:42.317 --> 00:17:43.652
Man, it's over. there's no way out of this, peter.” all
00:17:43.719 --> 00:17:45.554
Way out of this, peter.” all this worry, fear, panic. but
00:17:45.621 --> 00:17:48.757
This worry, fear, panic. but i love what it says about
00:17:48.824 --> 00:17:50.325
I love what it says about peter. “while he was asleep
00:17:50.392 --> 00:17:52.628
Peter. “while he was asleep that night, an angel showed
00:17:52.694 --> 00:17:54.763
That night, an angel showed up to rescue him.” how could
00:17:54.830 --> 00:17:56.999
Up to rescue him.” how could he be asleep. you would think
00:17:57.065 --> 00:17:59.201
He be asleep. you would think peter would be pacing the
00:17:59.268 --> 00:18:00.369
Peter would be pacing the floor, stressed out, overcome
00:18:00.435 --> 00:18:03.172
Floor, stressed out, overcome with worry, but peter knew
00:18:03.238 --> 00:18:05.174
With worry, but peter knew this secret, how to turn down
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:07.242
This secret, how to turn down the noise. i can see him
00:18:07.309 --> 00:18:09.378
The noise. i can see him before he laid down that

Wake up. he was sleeping so soundly the angel had to go

Even though the next morning he could have lost his life.
00:20:29.151 --> 00:20:31.386
He could have lost his life. that's what happens when you
