And disaster was at the door. nebuchadnezzar had

Nebuchadnezzar had invaded israel,

Invaded israel, he had leveled and decimated

Surrounded and besieged the city of jerusalem.
00:04:12.732 --> 00:04:14.133
The city of jerusalem. all hope was gone.
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:16.602
All hope was gone. they were about to be taken
00:04:16.669 --> 00:04:17.804
They were about to be taken into 70 years of captivity.
00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:20.707
Into 70 years of captivity. jeremiah, the prophet,
00:04:20.773 --> 00:04:22.075
Jeremiah, the prophet, went to the king before
00:04:22.141 --> 00:04:23.242
Went to the king before it ever happened
00:04:23.309 --> 00:04:24.277
It ever happened and warned him that if he
00:04:24.344 --> 00:04:25.645
And warned him that if he didn't turn back to god,
00:04:25.712 --> 00:04:26.979
Didn't turn back to god, the nation would be
00:04:27.046 --> 00:04:28.314
The nation would be devastated and destroyed.
00:04:28.381 --> 00:04:31.184
Devastated and destroyed. and instead of receiving
00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:33.419
And instead of receiving the prophecy, he rejected it,
00:04:33.486 --> 00:04:36.422
The prophecy, he rejected it, and for pastor appreciation
00:04:36.489 --> 00:04:38.157
And for pastor appreciation threw jeremiah into a pit,
00:04:38.224 --> 00:04:42.562
Threw jeremiah into a pit, the bible called it mire.
00:04:42.628 --> 00:04:44.197
The bible called it mire. the scripture said that
00:04:44.263 --> 00:04:45.331
The scripture said that they took clothing, cloths,
00:04:45.398 --> 00:04:47.834
They took clothing, cloths, tied them together,
00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:49.402
Tied them together, imagine this, lowered him down
00:04:49.469 --> 00:04:51.604
Imagine this, lowered him down by his arms into this deep,
00:04:51.671 --> 00:04:53.940
By his arms into this deep, deep pit that was full of mire,
00:04:54.006 --> 00:04:56.342
Deep pit that was full of mire, full of waste, full of
00:04:56.409 --> 00:04:59.078
Full of waste, full of the sewage from the palace.
00:04:59.145 --> 00:05:02.548
The sewage from the palace. and god says to him
00:05:02.615 --> 00:05:03.883
And god says to him in the lowest,
00:05:03.950 --> 00:05:05.385
In the lowest, most unbelievable conditions,
00:05:05.451 --> 00:05:09.088
Most unbelievable conditions, "buy into the fact that
00:05:09.155 --> 00:05:12.892
"buy into the fact that better is coming in the place
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.061
Better is coming in the place that looks like nothing
00:05:15.128 --> 00:05:16.095
That looks like nothing but bad is happening.
00:05:16.162 --> 00:05:19.298
But bad is happening. your conditions
00:05:19.365 --> 00:05:20.700
Your conditions are going to change.
00:05:20.767 --> 00:05:22.301
Are going to change. and they don't know it,
00:05:22.368 --> 00:05:23.936
And they don't know it, but i want you to do this
00:05:24.003 --> 00:05:26.072
But i want you to do this in front of all the prisoners
00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:29.709
In front of all the prisoners who are in the same
00:05:29.776 --> 00:05:30.510
Who are in the same condition you're in.
00:05:30.576 --> 00:05:31.811
Condition you're in. i wanna teach people what
00:05:31.878 --> 00:05:33.146
I wanna teach people what they are to do when it
00:05:33.212 --> 00:05:35.281
They are to do when it looks like everything
00:05:35.348 --> 00:05:37.950
Looks like everything is gone and they're in
00:05:38.017 --> 00:05:41.154
Is gone and they're in the lowest place they've ever
00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:42.588
The lowest place they've ever been in their life."
00:05:42.655 --> 00:05:43.623
Been in their life." that's when you don't
00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:45.858
That's when you don't buy in to the bad,
00:05:45.925 --> 00:05:48.294
Buy in to the bad, you buy in to brighter
00:05:48.361 --> 00:05:50.997
You buy in to brighter days are ahead.
00:05:51.063 --> 00:05:52.799
Days are ahead. this is what faith does.
00:05:52.865 --> 00:05:54.100
This is what faith does. faith is the substance
00:05:54.167 --> 00:05:55.435
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
00:05:55.501 --> 00:05:57.770
Of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
00:05:57.837 --> 00:06:01.941
The evidence of things not seen. grace --
00:06:02.008 --> 00:06:02.475
Grace -- notice when grace comes,
00:06:02.542 --> 00:06:04.710
Notice when grace comes, it never comes with pity.
00:06:04.777 --> 00:06:06.846
It never comes with pity. grace and god's word
00:06:06.913 --> 00:06:08.815
Grace and god's word will never come to you
00:06:08.881 --> 00:06:10.450
Will never come to you and say in your lowest moments,
00:06:10.516 --> 00:06:12.185
And say in your lowest moments, "you ought to feel sorry
00:06:12.251 --> 00:06:13.219
"you ought to feel sorry for yourself.
00:06:13.286 --> 00:06:14.253
For yourself. yes, i agree with you.
00:06:14.320 --> 00:06:15.521
Yes, i agree with you. you ought to quit.
00:06:15.588 --> 00:06:16.756
You ought to quit. yes, as a matter of fact,
00:06:16.823 --> 00:06:17.924
Yes, as a matter of fact, if i were you, i would just
00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:19.392
If i were you, i would just check out and end it all."
00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:21.060
Check out and end it all." grace never does that.
00:06:21.127 --> 00:06:23.296
Grace never does that. grace always comes with hope.

To dream and go to college or anything else.
00:09:49.969 --> 00:09:53.706
College or anything else. the apostle paul
00:09:53.773 --> 00:09:54.407
The apostle paul put it like this.
00:09:54.473 --> 00:09:55.341
Put it like this. he said, “three times
00:09:55.408 --> 00:09:56.876
He said, “three times i asked god to take
00:09:56.942 --> 00:09:58.144
I asked god to take my problem away
00:09:58.210 --> 00:09:59.278
My problem away and god would not take
00:09:59.345 --> 00:10:00.312
And god would not take my problem away.”
00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:02.348
My problem away.” and then he made
00:10:02.415 --> 00:10:03.082
And then he made this statement.
00:10:03.149 --> 00:10:03.749
This statement. he said, “most gladly
00:10:03.816 --> 00:10:05.885
He said, “most gladly therefore will i rather
00:10:05.951 --> 00:10:09.755
Therefore will i rather glory in my infirmities.”
00:10:09.822 --> 00:10:11.490
Glory in my infirmities.” the word “rather”
00:10:11.557 --> 00:10:12.324
The word “rather” is interesting.
00:10:12.391 --> 00:10:13.192
Is interesting. the word “rather”
00:10:13.259 --> 00:10:14.193
The word “rather” means i have an option.
00:10:14.260 --> 00:10:16.295
Means i have an option. when you're in a problem
00:10:16.362 --> 00:10:17.563
When you're in a problem and the problem won't
00:10:17.630 --> 00:10:18.431
And the problem won't go away for a long time,
00:10:18.497 --> 00:10:20.766
Go away for a long time, you have a rather.
00:10:20.833 --> 00:10:23.669
You have a rather. you can either buy into
00:10:23.736 --> 00:10:26.038
You can either buy into how terrible, and awful,
00:10:26.105 --> 00:10:28.207
How terrible, and awful, and bad, and negative,
00:10:28.274 --> 00:10:29.975
And bad, and negative, and death, and destruction,
00:10:30.042 --> 00:10:32.545
And death, and destruction, and pain and, “oh, life
00:10:32.611 --> 00:10:34.747
And pain and, “oh, life has lost all of its joy
00:10:34.814 --> 00:10:36.515
Has lost all of its joy for me because of all
00:10:36.582 --> 00:10:37.783
For me because of all that has happened to me.”
00:10:37.850 --> 00:10:38.951
That has happened to me.” you can do that, but paul said,
00:10:39.018 --> 00:10:41.153
You can do that, but paul said, “i've got a problem
00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:42.288
“i've got a problem and i've asked god
00:10:42.354 --> 00:10:43.022
And i've asked god three times to fix it.”
00:10:43.089 --> 00:10:44.423
Three times to fix it.” so, what was the thorn?
00:10:44.490 --> 00:10:46.392
So, what was the thorn? we're not told
00:10:46.459 --> 00:10:46.926
We're not told what the thorn was.
00:10:46.992 --> 00:10:47.793
What the thorn was. somebody said
00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:48.227
Somebody said it was his mother-in-law.
00:10:48.294 --> 00:10:49.328
It was his mother-in-law. i don't know what it was.
00:10:49.395 --> 00:10:50.629
I don't know what it was. that wasn't my mother-in-law,
00:10:50.696 --> 00:10:52.898
That wasn't my mother-in-law, but i don't know what it was.
00:10:52.965 --> 00:10:56.769
But i don't know what it was. i'm glad he didn't
00:10:56.836 --> 00:10:57.403
I'm glad he didn't say what it was.
00:10:57.470 --> 00:10:58.504
Say what it was. that means it could be
00:10:58.571 --> 00:10:59.438
That means it could be whatever your problem is
00:10:59.505 --> 00:11:01.941
Whatever your problem is that will not go away.
00:11:02.007 --> 00:11:04.276
That will not go away. he said, “i will gladly
00:11:04.343 --> 00:11:07.079
He said, “i will gladly therefore rather,”
00:11:07.146 --> 00:11:10.282
Therefore rather,” means i got a choice.
00:11:10.349 --> 00:11:12.251
Means i got a choice. it's not going anywhere.
00:11:12.318 --> 00:11:13.519
It's not going anywhere. so, i could either whine
00:11:13.586 --> 00:11:15.654
So, i could either whine and talk about how bad it is,
00:11:15.721 --> 00:11:17.123
And talk about how bad it is, or i can turn it into,
00:11:17.189 --> 00:11:18.624
Or i can turn it into, “i will gladly therefore
00:11:18.691 --> 00:11:23.195
“i will gladly therefore rather glory in my infirmity,
00:11:23.262 --> 00:11:27.500
Rather glory in my infirmity, in my problem
00:11:27.566 --> 00:11:28.768
In my problem that won't go away.
00:11:28.834 --> 00:11:30.436
That won't go away. i'll turn it into something
00:11:30.503 --> 00:11:32.805
I'll turn it into something that i realize because
00:11:32.872 --> 00:11:33.839
That i realize because i reckon -- it goes on to say
00:11:33.906 --> 00:11:35.775
I reckon -- it goes on to say that this present problem
00:11:35.841 --> 00:11:38.310
That this present problem is not worthy to be compared
00:11:38.377 --> 00:11:40.813
Is not worthy to be compared to the better that is
00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:42.281
To the better that is coming out of it when god
00:11:42.348 --> 00:11:44.450
Coming out of it when god gets through with it.
00:11:44.517 --> 00:11:45.351

00:11:54.894 --> 00:11:57.463
All things are working together for the good to them.

For the good to them. even prison.
