About how you've been framed. when we hear that phrase most of the time we think of
00:01:29.779 --> 00:01:31.014
When we hear that phrase most of the time we think of it as a bad thing.
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:33.016
Most of the time we think of it as a bad thing. we've been setup, made to look
00:01:33.082 --> 00:01:34.717
It as a bad thing. we've been setup, made to look like we did something that we

Nothing can penetrate your frame that god doesn't allow. trouble, sickness, accidents,
00:02:07.217 --> 00:02:09.185
That god doesn't allow. trouble, sickness, accidents, they can't just randomly happen.

Without god's permission, but even better news, you can't get out.

Even better news, you can't get out. you can't make a mistake big

(laughter) you pull up next to them so aggravated, throw your hand up,

You pull up next to them so aggravated, throw your hand up, but instead of doing what you

Aggravated, throw your hand up, but instead of doing what you thought, you just smile and give

What happened? you bumped into your frame. this frame has kept us out of

You bumped into your frame. this frame has kept us out of more trouble than we realize.
00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:48.611
This frame has kept us out of more trouble than we realize. you'd better thank god for your

More trouble than we realize. you'd better thank god for your frame or you might not still
00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:50.880
You'd better thank god for your frame or you might not still have a job.
00:04:50.947 --> 00:04:52.415
Frame or you might not still have a job. if it had not been for the frame
00:04:52.482 --> 00:04:53.783
Have a job. if it had not been for the frame we might not still be married.
00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:55.918
If it had not been for the frame we might not still be married. how many times were we going to
00:04:55.985 --> 00:04:56.986
We might not still be married. how many times were we going to tell our spouse exactly what we
00:04:57.053 --> 00:04:59.055
How many times were we going to tell our spouse exactly what we think and exactly what they
00:04:59.122 --> 00:05:00.623
Tell our spouse exactly what we think and exactly what they should do and we hear the still

Should do and we hear the still small voice saying, "don't do it. bite your tongue. walk
00:05:04.894 --> 00:05:06.262
Small voice saying, "don't do it. bite your tongue. walk away."
00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:07.530
It. bite your tongue. walk away." we take the advice.
00:05:07.597 --> 00:05:08.798
Away." we take the advice. that's the frame.
00:05:08.865 --> 00:05:10.666
We take the advice. that's the frame. jonah experienced the frame.
00:05:10.733 --> 00:05:13.269
That's the frame. jonah experienced the frame. god told him to go to the city
00:05:13.336 --> 00:05:14.537
Jonah experienced the frame. god told him to go to the city of nineveh.
00:05:14.604 --> 00:05:15.905
God told him to go to the city of nineveh. he didn't want to go there.
00:05:15.972 --> 00:05:17.306
Of nineveh. he didn't want to go there. he said, "god, that's what you
00:05:17.373 --> 00:05:18.541
He didn't want to go there. he said, "god, that's what you want me to do. i want to go my
00:05:18.608 --> 00:05:19.575
He said, "god, that's what you want me to do. i want to go my own way."
00:05:19.642 --> 00:05:21.210
Want me to do. i want to go my own way." he went in the opposite
00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:22.211
Own way." he went in the opposite direction.
00:05:22.278 --> 00:05:23.980
He went in the opposite direction. and god will always let you do
00:05:24.046 --> 00:05:25.448
Direction. and god will always let you do your own thing.
00:05:25.515 --> 00:05:26.983
And god will always let you do your own thing. he'll let you go your own way.
00:05:27.049 --> 00:05:28.751
Your own thing. he'll let you go your own way. but he is so merciful, at some
00:05:28.818 --> 00:05:30.420
He'll let you go your own way. but he is so merciful, at some point, you're going to bump into
00:05:30.486 --> 00:05:31.988
But he is so merciful, at some point, you're going to bump into your frame.
00:05:32.054 --> 00:05:33.856
Point, you're going to bump into your frame. he let jonah go the wrong
00:05:33.923 --> 00:05:35.291
Your frame. he let jonah go the wrong direction.
00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:36.392
He let jonah go the wrong direction. jonah ended up on a ship in the
00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:38.294
Direction. jonah ended up on a ship in the middle of a huge storm.
00:05:38.361 --> 00:05:40.797
Jonah ended up on a ship in the middle of a huge storm. he finally told the crew that he
00:05:40.863 --> 00:05:42.665
Middle of a huge storm. he finally told the crew that he was the problem.
00:05:42.732 --> 00:05:44.500
He finally told the crew that he was the problem. this crew had no mercy.
00:05:44.567 --> 00:05:46.702
Was the problem. this crew had no mercy. they said, "jonah, you're the
00:05:46.769 --> 00:05:47.703
This crew had no mercy. they said, "jonah, you're the problem. good riddance.
00:05:47.770 --> 00:05:49.105
They said, "jonah, you're the problem. good riddance. you're out of here."
00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:50.473
Problem. good riddance. you're out of here." they threw him overboard.
00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:51.808
You're out of here." they threw him overboard. you would think this would be
00:05:51.874 --> 00:05:53.509
They threw him overboard. you would think this would be the end of jonah's life.
00:05:53.576 --> 00:05:55.344
You would think this would be the end of jonah's life. he brought the trouble on
00:05:55.411 --> 00:05:56.145
The end of jonah's life. he brought the trouble on himself.
00:05:56.212 --> 00:05:57.180
He brought the trouble on himself. he knew the right thing but he
00:05:57.246 --> 00:05:58.381
Himself. he knew the right thing but he did the opposite.
00:05:58.448 --> 00:06:00.249
He knew the right thing but he did the opposite. he had nobody to blame except
00:06:00.316 --> 00:06:01.584
Did the opposite. he had nobody to blame except himself.
00:06:01.651 --> 00:06:03.152
He had nobody to blame except himself. i'm sure jonah felt like he was
00:06:03.219 --> 00:06:04.954
Himself. i'm sure jonah felt like he was finished.
00:06:05.021 --> 00:06:06.823
I'm sure jonah felt like he was finished. he said his goodbyes, made his
00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:07.990
Finished. he said his goodbyes, made his peace.
00:06:08.057 --> 00:06:09.692
He said his goodbyes, made his peace. but what jonah didn't realize
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.828
Peace. but what jonah didn't realize was the frame god had put around
00:06:11.894 --> 00:06:13.863
But what jonah didn't realize was the frame god had put around his life.
00:06:13.930 --> 00:06:15.531
Was the frame god had put around his life. yes, he made a mistake but it
00:06:15.598 --> 00:06:17.300
His life. yes, he made a mistake but it wasn't outside the frame.

Yes, he made a mistake but it wasn't outside the frame. yes, he was in trouble but that
00:06:19.836 --> 00:06:21.504
Wasn't outside the frame. yes, he was in trouble but that trouble wasn't a surprise to

Yes, he was in trouble but that trouble wasn't a surprise to god.
00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:25.141
Trouble wasn't a surprise to god. god allowed the difficulty into
00:06:25.208 --> 00:06:26.876
God. god allowed the difficulty into jonah's frame not to harm him
00:06:26.943 --> 00:06:29.745
God allowed the difficulty into jonah's frame not to harm him but to push him toward his
00:06:29.812 --> 00:06:31.747
Jonah's frame not to harm him but to push him toward his divine destiny.
00:06:31.814 --> 00:06:33.783
But to push him toward his divine destiny. when it looked hopeless, out in
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:35.218
Divine destiny. when it looked hopeless, out in the sea, treading water, no
00:06:35.284 --> 00:06:37.587
When it looked hopeless, out in the sea, treading water, no chance to survive, here comes a
00:06:37.653 --> 00:06:39.856
The sea, treading water, no chance to survive, here comes a big fish and swallows jonah up.
00:06:39.922 --> 00:06:43.025
Chance to survive, here comes a big fish and swallows jonah up. you know what the fish was?
00:06:43.092 --> 00:06:44.827
Big fish and swallows jonah up. you know what the fish was? like abigail, part of the frame.

You know what the fish was? like abigail, part of the frame. three days later that fish spit
00:06:47.897 --> 00:06:49.799
Like abigail, part of the frame. three days later that fish spit him up onto dry ground.
00:06:49.866 --> 00:06:52.101
Three days later that fish spit him up onto dry ground. jonah said, "you know what?
00:06:52.168 --> 00:06:53.102
Him up onto dry ground. jonah said, "you know what? i think i'll go to nineveh after
00:06:53.169 --> 00:06:54.303
Jonah said, "you know what? i think i'll go to nineveh after all." (laughter)
00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:56.305
I think i'll go to nineveh after all." (laughter) like jonah, you can run as much
00:06:56.372 --> 00:06:58.107
All." (laughter) like jonah, you can run as much as you want but the good news is
00:06:58.174 --> 00:07:00.343
Like jonah, you can run as much as you want but the good news is you'll never run out of your
00:07:00.409 --> 00:07:01.544
As you want but the good news is you'll never run out of your frame.
00:07:01.611 --> 00:07:03.546
You'll never run out of your frame. you'll keep bumping up against
00:07:03.613 --> 00:07:04.313
Frame. you'll keep bumping up against it again and again.
00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:06.148
You'll keep bumping up against it again and again. it will always push you back
00:07:06.215 --> 00:07:07.717
It again and again. it will always push you back toward your divine destiny.
00:07:07.783 --> 00:07:09.752
It will always push you back toward your divine destiny. in other words, you can go out
00:07:09.819 --> 00:07:11.187
Toward your divine destiny. in other words, you can go out and party, live it up, not give

In other words, you can go out and party, live it up, not give god the time of day.
00:07:13.089 --> 00:07:15.024
And party, live it up, not give god the time of day. but while your friends are

God the time of day. but while your friends are partying, while they're enjoying
00:07:16.492 --> 00:07:18.594
But while your friends are partying, while they're enjoying life, deep down you'll be
00:07:18.661 --> 00:07:20.129
Partying, while they're enjoying life, deep down you'll be miserable, thinking,
00:07:20.196 --> 00:07:22.098
Life, deep down you'll be miserable, thinking, "why can't i enjoy this?
00:07:22.164 --> 00:07:24.066
Miserable, thinking, "why can't i enjoy this? why am i so unsatisfied?"
00:07:24.133 --> 00:07:26.869
"why can't i enjoy this? why am i so unsatisfied?" it's because of the frame god

Why am i so unsatisfied?" it's because of the frame god has put on your life.

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.249
We can try to ignore it. but the frame around your life was put in place before the

He hated believers. he was having them put in prison, doing more harm to god's

He was having them put in prison, doing more harm to god's people than any person of that
00:13:32.434 --> 00:13:33.903
Prison, doing more harm to god's people than any person of that time.

You persecute me? don't you know it's hard to kick against the pricks?"
00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:53.088
Don't you know it's hard to kick against the pricks?" god was saying, "saul, i've got

You in my frame. you're trying to kick, trying to run, trying to ignore it.

Run, trying to ignore it. but saul, you have to understand; i set the frame.

But saul, you have to understand; i set the frame. i have a destiny for you to

Understand; i set the frame. i have a destiny for you to fulfill and it's not to stop my

Work. it's to advance my work." laying on the ground, not able to see, saul said, "who are

Laying on the ground, not able to see, saul said, "who are you?"
00:14:14.843 --> 00:14:16.679
To see, saul said, "who are you?" the voice boomed out, "i am

You?" the voice boomed out, "i am jesus whom you persecute."
00:14:18.147 --> 00:14:21.150

Honoring god, make fun of you for coming to church, don't let that bother you.
00:14:26.822 --> 00:14:28.958
For coming to church, don't let that bother you. they're not really doing it to
00:14:29.024 --> 00:14:30.192
That bother you. they're not really doing it to you.
00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:31.226
They're not really doing it to you. they're doing it unto god.
00:14:31.293 --> 00:14:33.095
You. they're doing it unto god. saul was harming believers yet
00:14:33.162 --> 00:14:35.064
They're doing it unto god. saul was harming believers yet god said, "you're persecuting

Saul was harming believers yet god said, "you're persecuting me."
00:14:35.998 --> 00:14:37.533
God said, "you're persecuting me." god took it personally.
00:14:37.599 --> 00:14:39.902
Me." god took it personally. the voice told saul to go to the

City and see ananias. ananias prayed for saul. he got his sight back.
00:14:44.873 --> 00:14:46.775
Ananias prayed for saul. he got his sight back. long story short, saul became
00:14:46.842 --> 00:14:48.610
He got his sight back. long story short, saul became the apostle paul who went on to
00:14:48.677 --> 00:14:50.779
Long story short, saul became the apostle paul who went on to write over half of the new
00:14:50.846 --> 00:14:52.614
The apostle paul who went on to write over half of the new testament.
00:14:52.681 --> 00:14:54.116
Write over half of the new testament. some of you think that you're
00:14:54.183 --> 00:14:55.217
Testament. some of you think that you're too far gone, made too many

Some of you think that you're too far gone, made too many mistakes.
00:14:56.485 --> 00:14:58.420
Too far gone, made too many mistakes. people tell me often, "joel, i'm
00:14:58.487 --> 00:15:00.222
Mistakes. people tell me often, "joel, i'm just not a religious person."
00:15:00.289 --> 00:15:03.092
People tell me often, "joel, i'm just not a religious person." listen, none of that matters.
00:15:03.158 --> 00:15:04.827
Just not a religious person." listen, none of that matters. all that that matters is the
00:15:04.893 --> 00:15:06.061
Listen, none of that matters. all that that matters is the creator of the universe has put
00:15:06.128 --> 00:15:07.863
All that that matters is the creator of the universe has put a frame around your life.
00:15:07.930 --> 00:15:10.499
Creator of the universe has put a frame around your life. you can kick, run, try to ignore

More miserable. like god said to saul, it's hard to keep kicking against the

Like god said to saul, it's hard to keep kicking against the frame.
00:15:19.608 --> 00:15:21.276
To keep kicking against the frame. the frame is not going to move.
00:15:21.343 --> 00:15:23.345
Frame. the frame is not going to move. there is a calling on your life,

Resonated with me
00:24:11.072 --> 00:24:12.173
Resonated with me because i tried to listen
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:13.275
Because i tried to listen to other people
00:24:13.341 --> 00:24:14.409
To other people and some of them
00:24:14.476 --> 00:24:15.343
And some of them were like hellfire
00:24:15.410 --> 00:24:16.545
Were like hellfire and brimstone.
00:24:16.611 --> 00:24:17.412
And brimstone. so i took what joel said
00:24:17.479 --> 00:24:19.848
So i took what joel said in the i am's and
00:24:19.915 --> 00:24:21.349
In the i am's and i physically replaced them with

I physically replaced them with i am strong, i am worthy.
00:24:23.652 --> 00:24:25.954
I am strong, i am worthy. i started
00:24:26.021 --> 00:24:26.755
I started saying those over and over
00:24:26.821 --> 00:24:28.423
Saying those over and over and over throughout my day,
00:24:28.490 --> 00:24:30.625
And over throughout my day, and i said, you know,
00:24:30.692 --> 00:24:31.960
And i said, you know, i will do this for one year.
00:24:32.027 --> 00:24:34.696
I will do this for one year. and it actually changed
00:24:34.763 --> 00:24:36.598
