That's jesus' job when he comes onto the scene
00:01:39.953 --> 00:01:42.055
When he comes onto the scene in the book of matthew.
00:01:42.122 --> 00:01:43.723
In the book of matthew. but hezekiah did pretty good,
00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:45.758
But hezekiah did pretty good, and god helped him
00:01:45.825 --> 00:01:46.292
And god helped him in a great way.
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:47.160
In a great way. he accomplished a lot.
00:01:47.227 --> 00:01:48.261

He defeated and subdued a lot of enemies.
00:01:48.862 --> 00:01:50.763
A lot of enemies. but in 2 kings 20:1,
00:01:50.830 --> 00:01:54.000
But in 2 kings 20:1, just after god has given

About it today. in 2 kings 20:1,

In 2 kings 20:1, the scripture records,
00:02:04.744 --> 00:02:05.912
The scripture records, "in those days, hezekiah
00:02:05.979 --> 00:02:07.247
"in those days, hezekiah became ill and was
00:02:07.313 --> 00:02:09.082
Became ill and was at the point of death.
00:02:09.149 --> 00:02:10.984
At the point of death. the prophet isaiah,
00:02:11.050 --> 00:02:12.785
The prophet isaiah, son of amos went
00:02:12.852 --> 00:02:13.653
Son of amos went to him and said,
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:15.088
To him and said, 'this is what the lord says,
00:02:15.155 --> 00:02:15.889
'this is what the lord says, 'put your house in order
00:02:15.955 --> 00:02:18.591
'put your house in order because you're going to die.
00:02:18.658 --> 00:02:21.060
Because you're going to die. you will not recover.'"
00:02:21.127 --> 00:02:23.429
You will not recover.'" thanks a lot, prophet isaiah.
00:02:23.496 --> 00:02:25.899
Thanks a lot, prophet isaiah. appreciate that.
00:02:25.965 --> 00:02:27.033
Appreciate that. could we get another
00:02:27.100 --> 00:02:27.534
Could we get another prophet in here?
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:28.334
Prophet in here? how about micah?
00:02:28.401 --> 00:02:28.935
How about micah? nahum?
00:02:29.002 --> 00:02:29.536
Nahum? habakkuk?
00:02:29.602 --> 00:02:30.136
Habakkuk? zephaniah?
00:02:30.203 --> 00:02:32.272
Zephaniah? but this word from god
00:02:32.338 --> 00:02:35.241
But this word from god comes through the prophet,
00:02:35.308 --> 00:02:37.777
Comes through the prophet, "you're gonna die.
00:02:37.844 --> 00:02:38.645
"you're gonna die. you won't recover."
00:02:38.711 --> 00:02:39.946
You won't recover." now, look at this in
00:02:40.013 --> 00:02:41.581
Now, look at this in verse 2, "hezekiah
00:02:41.648 --> 00:02:42.015
Verse 2, "hezekiah turned his face to the wall
00:02:42.081 --> 00:02:44.417
Turned his face to the wall and prayed to the lord,
00:02:44.484 --> 00:02:46.519
And prayed to the lord, 'remember, lord, how i have
00:02:46.586 --> 00:02:48.788
'remember, lord, how i have walked before you faithfully
00:02:48.855 --> 00:02:51.624
Walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion
00:02:51.691 --> 00:02:53.826
And with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good
00:02:53.893 --> 00:02:55.094
And have done what is good in your eyes.'
00:02:55.161 --> 00:02:56.729
In your eyes.' and hezekiah wept bitterly.
00:02:56.796 --> 00:02:58.698
And hezekiah wept bitterly. before isaiah had left
00:02:58.765 --> 00:03:02.001
Before isaiah had left the middle court, the word
00:03:02.068 --> 00:03:03.036
The middle court, the word of the lord came to him,
00:03:03.102 --> 00:03:05.071
Of the lord came to him, 'go back and tell hezekiah,
00:03:05.138 --> 00:03:07.907
'go back and tell hezekiah, the ruler of my people,
00:03:07.974 --> 00:03:09.309
The ruler of my people, this is what the lord, the god
00:03:09.375 --> 00:03:11.344
This is what the lord, the god of your father david says.'"
00:03:11.411 --> 00:03:13.379
Of your father david says.'" and isaiah's like,
00:03:13.446 --> 00:03:14.280
And isaiah's like, "i already told him
00:03:14.347 --> 00:03:14.847
"i already told him he's gonna die.
00:03:14.914 --> 00:03:15.782
He's gonna die. he gotta get his
00:03:15.848 --> 00:03:17.050
He gotta get his estate planning done."
00:03:17.116 --> 00:03:19.352
Estate planning done." "'no go back and tell him,'
00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:21.688
"'no go back and tell him,' go back and tell hezekiah,
00:03:21.754 --> 00:03:24.324
Go back and tell hezekiah, 'i have heard your prayer
00:03:24.390 --> 00:03:27.760
'i have heard your prayer and seen your tears,
00:03:27.827 --> 00:03:30.029
And seen your tears, i will heal you.
00:03:30.096 --> 00:03:33.566
I will heal you. on the third day from now
00:03:33.633 --> 00:03:35.768
On the third day from now you will go up to
00:03:35.835 --> 00:03:36.603
You will go up to the temple of the lord.
00:03:36.669 --> 00:03:39.239
The temple of the lord. i will add fifteen
00:03:39.305 --> 00:03:40.106
I will add fifteen years to your life.
00:03:40.173 --> 00:03:42.342
Years to your life. and i will deliver you
00:03:42.408 --> 00:03:43.876
And i will deliver you and this city from the hand
00:03:43.943 --> 00:03:45.845
And this city from the hand of the king of assyria.
00:03:45.912 --> 00:03:47.080
Of the king of assyria. i will defend this city
00:03:47.146 --> 00:03:48.514
I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake
00:03:48.581 --> 00:03:50.350
For my sake and for the sake of my servant david.'
00:03:50.416 --> 00:03:52.652
Of my servant david.' and then isaiah said,
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:53.653
And then isaiah said, 'prepare a poultice of figs.'
00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:56.155
'prepare a poultice of figs.' and they did so and applied
00:03:56.222 --> 00:03:57.857
And they did so and applied it to the boil,
00:03:57.924 --> 00:03:59.225
It to the boil, and he recovered.
00:03:59.292 --> 00:04:00.760
And he recovered. hezekiah had asked isaiah,
00:04:00.827 --> 00:04:02.829
Hezekiah had asked isaiah, 'when will be the sign
00:04:02.895 --> 00:04:04.664
'when will be the sign that the lord will heal me
00:04:04.731 --> 00:04:06.399
That the lord will heal me and that i will go up to
00:04:06.466 --> 00:04:07.333
And that i will go up to the temple of the lord
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:08.234
The temple of the lord on the third day from now?'
00:04:08.301 --> 00:04:10.737
On the third day from now?' and isaiah answered,
00:04:10.803 --> 00:04:12.205
And isaiah answered, 'this is the lord's sign
00:04:12.272 --> 00:04:14.140
'this is the lord's sign to you that the lord will do
00:04:14.207 --> 00:04:16.843
To you that the lord will do what he has promised.

What he has promised. shall the shadow

Go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?'"
00:04:26.052 --> 00:04:28.755
Or shall it go back ten steps?'" you choose.

And god might be saying to somebody today,
00:04:31.691 --> 00:04:33.293
To somebody today, "you choose."
00:04:33.359 --> 00:04:35.228
"you choose." you might be praying
00:04:35.295 --> 00:04:36.095
You might be praying about something
00:04:36.162 --> 00:04:37.330
About something and crying about something,

And crying about something, and wondering about something,
00:04:39.198 --> 00:04:40.900
And wondering about something, and god might be saying

And god might be saying to you today, "you choose."

To you today, "you choose." "shall the shadow

"shall the shadow go forward ten steps,

Go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?'
00:04:48.508 --> 00:04:51.511
Or shall it go back ten steps?' 'it is a simple matter for

The shadow to go forward ten steps,' said hezekiah.
00:04:55.014 --> 00:04:57.083
Ten steps,' said hezekiah. 'rather have it
00:04:57.150 --> 00:04:59.185
'rather have it go back ten steps.'
00:04:59.252 --> 00:05:03.623
Go back ten steps.' then the prophet isaiah
00:05:03.690 --> 00:05:05.425
Then the prophet isaiah called on the lord,
00:05:05.491 --> 00:05:07.093
Called on the lord, and the lord made the shadow

Is the difference between times where i'm supposed to accept
00:05:31.617 --> 00:05:33.753
Where i'm supposed to accept the way that it is and face it,
00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:37.623
The way that it is and face it, and the times that i'm supposed
00:05:37.690 --> 00:05:39.058
And the times that i'm supposed to reject the way that it is
00:05:39.125 --> 00:05:43.262
To reject the way that it is and change it by faith.
00:05:43.329 --> 00:05:47.600
And change it by faith. we have a workout room
00:05:47.667 --> 00:05:48.568
We have a workout room in my house,
00:05:48.634 --> 00:05:50.436
In my house, and all over the walls of
00:05:50.503 --> 00:05:51.604
And all over the walls of that room i have written
00:05:51.671 --> 00:05:52.739
That room i have written different quotes over the years.
00:05:52.805 --> 00:05:54.807
Different quotes over the years. lived in this house
00:05:54.874 --> 00:05:55.408
Lived in this house for ten years,
00:05:55.475 --> 00:05:56.142
For ten years, so there's a lot of
00:05:56.209 --> 00:05:57.343
So there's a lot of little things on the wall.
00:05:57.410 --> 00:05:59.445
Little things on the wall. and i write things on
00:05:59.512 --> 00:06:00.079
And i write things on the wall, sometimes
00:06:00.146 --> 00:06:01.214
The wall, sometimes they're just inside jokes,
00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:04.650
They're just inside jokes, sometimes there're little
00:06:04.717 --> 00:06:05.551
Sometimes there're little motivational slogans.
00:06:05.618 --> 00:06:07.120
Motivational slogans. the name of the room
00:06:07.186 --> 00:06:08.287
The name of the room is called, "the pound."
00:06:08.354 --> 00:06:09.155
Is called, "the pound." it's an acronym.
00:06:09.222 --> 00:06:09.856
It's an acronym. it stand for,
00:06:09.922 --> 00:06:10.523
It stand for, "the place of ultimate
00:06:10.590 --> 00:06:11.824
"the place of ultimate natural development."
00:06:11.891 --> 00:06:13.626
Natural development." [laughter]
00:06:13.693 --> 00:06:14.594
[laughter] i think you made that up.
00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:16.062
I think you made that up. i give chunks credit
00:06:16.129 --> 00:06:16.829
I give chunks credit where credit is due.
00:06:16.896 --> 00:06:17.964
Where credit is due. he's a genius
00:06:18.030 --> 00:06:19.766
He's a genius and he's a physical therapist.
00:06:19.832 --> 00:06:21.100
And he's a physical therapist. [laughter]
00:06:21.167 --> 00:06:22.869
[laughter] now, one of the things
00:06:22.935 --> 00:06:25.204
Now, one of the things that it says on the wall
00:06:25.271 --> 00:06:26.272
That it says on the wall in the pound, it says,
00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:28.274
In the pound, it says, "no challenge, no change."
00:06:28.341 --> 00:06:31.811
"no challenge, no change." you know when i wrote
00:06:31.878 --> 00:06:32.412
You know when i wrote that up there?
00:06:32.478 --> 00:06:33.479
That up there? when elijah started
00:06:33.546 --> 00:06:34.213
When elijah started working out with me.
00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:35.415
Working out with me. my oldest son turns 18
00:06:35.481 --> 00:06:37.483
My oldest son turns 18 in just a few weeks.
00:06:37.550 --> 00:06:38.918
In just a few weeks. he's in orlando.
00:06:38.985 --> 00:06:39.919
He's in orlando. shout out to elijah b. furtick,
00:06:39.986 --> 00:06:44.257
Shout out to elijah b. furtick, my workout partner.
00:06:44.323 --> 00:06:45.825
My workout partner. he's been lifting with me
00:06:45.892 --> 00:06:46.793
He's been lifting with me down there in the pound
00:06:46.859 --> 00:06:47.593
Down there in the pound for three years, and you know,
00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:49.662
For three years, and you know, he used to get in there
00:06:49.729 --> 00:06:50.430
He used to get in there and do ten reps
00:06:50.496 --> 00:06:51.197
And do ten reps when he could do 15.
00:06:51.264 --> 00:06:52.365
When he could do 15. he'd do 15 when he could do 20.
00:06:52.432 --> 00:06:54.400
He'd do 15 when he could do 20. and i had to teach him
00:06:54.467 --> 00:06:55.868
And i had to teach him the principle of growth
00:06:55.935 --> 00:06:58.271
The principle of growth for our muscles is that,
00:06:58.337 --> 00:07:01.073
For our muscles is that, if it doesn't' challenge you,
00:07:01.140 --> 00:07:03.209
If it doesn't' challenge you, it won't change you.
00:07:03.276 --> 00:07:03.976
It won't change you. so, i just wrote that
00:07:04.043 --> 00:07:04.577
So, i just wrote that up on the thing.
00:07:04.644 --> 00:07:05.344
Up on the thing. it's a -- i know
00:07:05.411 --> 00:07:05.945
It's a -- i know it's not that deep,
00:07:06.012 --> 00:07:06.646
But i just wrote it up there.
00:07:06.746 --> 00:07:07.747
But i just wrote it up there. "no challenge, no change."
00:07:07.814 --> 00:07:09.916
"no challenge, no change." now, the funny thing is,
00:07:09.982 --> 00:07:11.751
Now, the funny thing is, elijah is actually,
00:07:11.818 --> 00:07:12.952
Elijah is actually, his personality is a challenger.
00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:15.421
His personality is a challenger. they have all these
00:07:15.488 --> 00:07:16.022
They have all these personality tests
00:07:16.088 --> 00:07:17.123
Personality tests and one of them holly
00:07:17.190 --> 00:07:18.024
And one of them holly says -- she studies all
00:07:18.090 --> 00:07:19.358
Says -- she studies all the personality tests,
00:07:19.425 --> 00:07:20.293
The personality tests, i don't read 'em.
00:07:20.359 --> 00:07:22.328
I really don't put a lot
00:07:22.428 --> 00:07:24.096
I really don't put a lot of stock in that kinda stuff,
00:07:24.163 --> 00:07:25.865
Of stock in that kinda stuff, and so, i guess i'm a challenger
00:07:25.932 --> 00:07:27.066
And so, i guess i'm a challenger if i'm challenging the validity
00:07:27.133 --> 00:07:28.301
If i'm challenging the validity of a personality test.
00:07:28.367 --> 00:07:30.102
Of a personality test. but she says that my son is
00:07:30.169 --> 00:07:31.204
But she says that my son is also a challenger, and he is.
00:07:31.270 --> 00:07:33.639
Also a challenger, and he is. i'll tell you how much
00:07:33.706 --> 00:07:34.240
I'll tell you how much of a challenger he is.
00:07:34.307 --> 00:07:35.641
Of a challenger he is. when we first started
00:07:35.708 --> 00:07:36.342
When we first started bench pressing in the pound,
00:07:36.409 --> 00:07:38.578
Bench pressing in the pound, he said this actual sentenced.
00:07:38.644 --> 00:07:40.246
He said this actual sentenced. he said, "i don't think,
00:07:40.313 --> 00:07:42.748
He said, "i don't think, i don't think bench
00:07:42.815 --> 00:07:43.616
I don't think bench really works your chest."
00:07:43.683 --> 00:07:47.053
Really works your chest." let me explain
00:07:47.119 --> 00:07:47.553
Let me explain something you, ladies.
00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:49.021
Something you, ladies. there is no more
00:07:49.088 --> 00:07:50.389
There is no more time-honored principle
00:07:50.456 --> 00:07:52.391
Time-honored principle among men than that
00:07:52.458 --> 00:07:54.227
Among men than that a bench press will grow
00:07:54.293 --> 00:07:55.561
A bench press will grow your chest and become
00:07:55.628 --> 00:07:57.563
Your chest and become the ultimate expression
00:07:57.630 --> 00:07:58.865
The ultimate expression of your value as a human being.
00:07:58.931 --> 00:08:00.500
Of your value as a human being. [laughter]
00:08:00.566 --> 00:08:02.535
[laughter] that number is so significant.
00:08:02.602 --> 00:08:04.403
That number is so significant. i was so excited for him
00:08:04.470 --> 00:08:05.338
I was so excited for him the other day.
00:08:05.404 --> 00:08:06.506
The other day. he hit 225 on bench.
00:08:06.572 --> 00:08:08.474
He hit 225 on bench. [cheering and applause]
00:08:08.541 --> 00:08:10.176
[cheering and applause] y'all wanna see the video?
00:08:10.243 --> 00:08:11.744
Y'all wanna see the video? i pulled it right
00:08:11.811 --> 00:08:12.311
I pulled it right before i came out.
00:08:12.378 --> 00:08:13.179
Before i came out. he was actually in florida
00:08:13.246 --> 00:08:14.380
He was actually in florida just a few weeks ago,
00:08:14.447 --> 00:08:15.548
Just a few weeks ago, and they were out
00:08:15.615 --> 00:08:16.182
And they were out there for a trip.
00:08:16.249 --> 00:08:16.849

He's -- he actually made the beat that went

The beat that went behind that video too,
00:08:46.979 --> 00:08:48.648
Behind that video too, so he's really, really
00:08:48.714 --> 00:08:50.917
So he's really, really manifold accomplished.
00:08:50.983 --> 00:08:53.152
Manifold accomplished. and i'm so proud of him,
00:08:53.219 --> 00:08:54.387
And i'm so proud of him, i'm like, "yeah, yeah,
00:08:54.453 --> 00:08:55.621
I'm like, "yeah, yeah, you got into college,
00:08:55.688 --> 00:08:56.355
You got into college, but you benched 225!
00:08:56.422 --> 00:09:00.059
But you benched 225! that's my boy.
00:09:00.126 --> 00:09:01.327
That's my boy. you love jesus,
00:09:01.394 --> 00:09:02.261
You love jesus, but you benched 225.
00:09:02.328 --> 00:09:04.497
But you benched 225. it was two plates,
00:09:04.564 --> 00:09:05.064
It was two plates, so it's kind of a big deal.
00:09:05.131 --> 00:09:05.932
So it's kind of a big deal. it was kind of rite
00:09:05.998 --> 00:09:06.566
It was kind of rite of passage for all men.
00:09:06.632 --> 00:09:09.802
Of passage for all men. no challenge, no change.
00:09:09.869 --> 00:09:13.739
No challenge, no change. the most significant part
00:09:13.806 --> 00:09:15.374
The most significant part of that repetition
00:09:15.441 --> 00:09:16.375
Of that repetition was the part where
00:09:16.442 --> 00:09:17.910
Was the part where he wasn't gonna get it,
00:09:17.977 --> 00:09:19.779
He wasn't gonna get it, and then he got it.
00:09:19.845 --> 00:09:21.480
And then he got it. and all of that
00:09:21.547 --> 00:09:22.081
And all of that testosterone in the room
00:09:22.148 --> 00:09:23.583
Testosterone in the room and the video camera going,
00:09:23.649 --> 00:09:25.184
And the video camera going, i'm sure helped him
00:09:25.251 --> 00:09:26.652
I'm sure helped him to push through.
00:09:26.719 --> 00:09:29.155
To push through. no challenge, no change.
00:09:29.221 --> 00:09:32.825
No challenge, no change. the boy who didn't believe
00:09:32.892 --> 00:09:33.993
The boy who didn't believe that bench press worked
00:09:34.060 --> 00:09:35.094
That bench press worked your chest, is now benching
00:09:35.161 --> 00:09:37.163
Your chest, is now benching 225 plate by plate.
00:09:37.229 --> 00:09:40.132
225 plate by plate. and sometime, you know,
00:09:40.199 --> 00:09:41.334
And sometime, you know, using just a stupid example
00:09:41.400 --> 00:09:42.735
Using just a stupid example from the weight room.
00:09:42.802 --> 00:09:46.305
From the weight room. our lives can encounter
00:09:46.372 --> 00:09:48.608
Our lives can encounter situations where we are
00:09:48.674 --> 00:09:50.977
Situations where we are making decisions,
00:09:51.043 --> 00:09:53.179
Making decisions, and when we realize
00:09:53.245 --> 00:09:53.846
And when we realize we're making the decisions,
00:09:53.913 --> 00:09:56.849
We're making the decisions, whether the situation
00:09:56.916 --> 00:09:58.851
Whether the situation as it is presented to us
00:09:58.918 --> 00:10:00.987
As it is presented to us is all that it can ever be,
00:10:01.053 --> 00:10:03.422
Is all that it can ever be, or whether there is
00:10:03.489 --> 00:10:05.157
Or whether there is the potential for us
00:10:05.224 --> 00:10:07.293
The potential for us to push through in that
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.327
To push through in that moment and see something
00:10:08.394 --> 00:10:10.463
Moment and see something come to pass that would
00:10:10.529 --> 00:10:11.430
Come to pass that would have seemed impossible
00:10:11.497 --> 00:10:13.232
Have seemed impossible from a human perspective.
00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:16.435
From a human perspective. "challenge the shadow."
00:10:16.502 --> 00:10:18.704
"challenge the shadow." i thought that was a unique
00:10:18.771 --> 00:10:19.705
I thought that was a unique title that god gave me,
00:10:19.772 --> 00:10:21.107
Title that god gave me, because in our passage
00:10:21.173 --> 00:10:22.541
Because in our passage of scripture today,
00:10:22.608 --> 00:10:24.410
Of scripture today, the king hezekiah
00:10:24.477 --> 00:10:25.711
The king hezekiah is experiencing
00:10:25.778 --> 00:10:27.079
Is experiencing the announcement
00:10:27.146 --> 00:10:28.481
The announcement of the end of his life.
00:10:28.547 --> 00:10:30.883
Of the end of his life. and i don't mean to make
00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:31.817
And i don't mean to make light of that or to put it
00:10:31.884 --> 00:10:33.119
Light of that or to put it on the level of trying to,
00:10:33.185 --> 00:10:35.388
On the level of trying to, you know, exercise your body.
00:10:35.454 --> 00:10:37.356
You know, exercise your body. the fact is, there are
00:10:37.423 --> 00:10:38.357
The fact is, there are some listening to me today
00:10:38.424 --> 00:10:40.393
Some listening to me today who have heard a bad report
00:10:40.459 --> 00:10:43.963
Who have heard a bad report in an area of your life.
00:10:44.030 --> 00:10:44.864
In an area of your life. it may not be
00:10:44.930 --> 00:10:45.598
It may not be the end of your life,
00:10:45.665 --> 00:10:46.732
The end of your life, but just like the prophet's
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.567
But just like the prophet's word came to signal to
00:10:48.634 --> 00:10:49.935
Word came to signal to hezekiah, this is the end.
00:10:50.002 --> 00:10:53.139
Hezekiah, this is the end. there is a parallel
00:10:53.205 --> 00:10:54.674
There is a parallel in this scripture,
00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.675
In this scripture, i don't know if you noticed it.
00:10:55.741 --> 00:10:57.576
I don't know if you noticed it. but when god wanted to give
00:10:57.643 --> 00:10:58.911
But when god wanted to give hezekiah a sign that
00:10:58.978 --> 00:11:01.047
Hezekiah a sign that he was going to heal him,
00:11:01.113 --> 00:11:02.982
He was going to heal him, even though at first the prophet
00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:04.250
Even though at first the prophet said it couldn't happen,
00:11:04.316 --> 00:11:06.152
Said it couldn't happen, but hezekiah challenged
00:11:06.218 --> 00:11:08.788
But hezekiah challenged what the prophet said.
00:11:08.854 --> 00:11:10.656
What the prophet said. god gave him the sign
00:11:10.723 --> 00:11:12.324
God gave him the sign of a shadow.
00:11:12.391 --> 00:11:14.060
Of a shadow. and i promise you,
00:11:14.126 --> 00:11:14.727
And i promise you, this is significant because
00:11:14.794 --> 00:11:16.896
This is significant because in this day they didn't
00:11:16.962 --> 00:11:18.097
In this day they didn't have fit bits and rolexes.
00:11:18.164 --> 00:11:20.700
Have fit bits and rolexes. so, in order to tell what time,
00:11:20.766 --> 00:11:22.735
So, in order to tell what time, it was, they would have
00:11:22.802 --> 00:11:25.004
It was, they would have a kind of a sun dial system.
00:11:25.071 --> 00:11:27.073
A kind of a sun dial system. and as the sun would come up
00:11:27.139 --> 00:11:28.340
And as the sun would come up over the temple, then
00:11:28.407 --> 00:11:30.543
Over the temple, then the shadow would go down.
00:11:30.609 --> 00:11:32.578
The shadow would go down. the lower that the sun got,
00:11:32.645 --> 00:11:34.213
The lower that the sun got, the later that it got in
00:11:34.280 --> 00:11:35.014
The later that it got in the day, the shadow would go
00:11:35.081 --> 00:11:36.749
The day, the shadow would go down the steps of the temple
00:11:36.816 --> 00:11:38.284
Down the steps of the temple as the sun is going up
00:11:38.350 --> 00:11:40.019
As the sun is going up and then back down.
00:11:40.086 --> 00:11:41.087
And then back down. the longer the shadow
00:11:41.153 --> 00:11:42.254
The longer the shadow goes down the steps,
00:11:42.321 --> 00:11:44.290
Goes down the steps, the later it is.
00:11:44.356 --> 00:11:46.258
The later it is. the longer the shadow
00:11:46.325 --> 00:11:47.159
The longer the shadow gets going down the steps --
00:11:47.226 --> 00:11:48.127
Gets going down the steps -- can you picture it?
00:11:48.194 --> 00:11:49.729
Can you picture it? it signifies that the day
00:11:49.795 --> 00:11:51.497
It signifies that the day is drawing to a close.
00:11:51.564 --> 00:11:54.166
Is drawing to a close. and just as the shadow
00:11:54.233 --> 00:11:55.568
And just as the shadow in the passage lengthens
00:11:55.634 --> 00:11:57.269
In the passage lengthens on the steps to announce that
00:11:57.336 --> 00:11:59.438
On the steps to announce that you're running out of time,
00:11:59.505 --> 00:12:01.373
You're running out of time, the prophet comes
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:02.174
To announce to isaiah,
00:12:02.274 --> 00:12:04.443
To announce to isaiah, "you're running out of time."
00:12:04.510 --> 00:12:05.544
"you're running out of time." or to hezekiah,
00:12:05.611 --> 00:12:06.378
Or to hezekiah, the prophet isaiah.
00:12:06.445 --> 00:12:07.446
The prophet isaiah. they had a partnership.
00:12:07.513 --> 00:12:08.647
They had a partnership. now, i wanna talk about
00:12:08.714 --> 00:12:09.448
Now, i wanna talk about this partnership between
00:12:09.515 --> 00:12:10.816
This partnership between the prophet and the king.
00:12:10.883 --> 00:12:12.618
The prophet and the king. because it's one thing
00:12:12.685 --> 00:12:14.754
Because it's one thing when your enemy tells
00:12:14.820 --> 00:12:15.921
When your enemy tells you that it's over,
00:12:15.988 --> 00:12:19.425
It's a different thing
00:12:19.525 --> 00:12:21.827
It's a different thing when your buddy --
00:12:21.894 --> 00:12:23.729
When your buddy -- these guys were tight.
00:12:23.796 --> 00:12:25.798
These guys were tight. they had to be.
00:12:25.865 --> 00:12:27.299
They had to be. because when an opposing
00:12:27.366 --> 00:12:29.068
Because when an opposing king would come to
00:12:29.135 --> 00:12:29.935
King would come to fight against israel,
00:12:30.002 --> 00:12:31.470
Fight against israel, the prophet would come
00:12:31.537 --> 00:12:32.238
The prophet would come and tell the king what
00:12:32.304 --> 00:12:33.005
And tell the king what to do to be victorious.
00:12:33.072 --> 00:12:35.207
To do to be victorious. so, the king and the prophet,
00:12:35.274 --> 00:12:36.809
So, the king and the prophet, when they were both looking
00:12:36.876 --> 00:12:38.410
When they were both looking to god and when the king was
00:12:38.477 --> 00:12:39.912
To god and when the king was listening to the prophet
00:12:39.979 --> 00:12:41.113
Listening to the prophet and the prophet was listening
00:12:41.180 --> 00:12:42.214
And the prophet was listening to god, things went well.
00:12:42.281 --> 00:12:43.616
To god, things went well. and that didn't always happen
00:12:43.682 --> 00:12:44.483
And that didn't always happen in the nation of israel,
00:12:44.550 --> 00:12:45.718
In the nation of israel, and so they would get invaded,
00:12:45.785 --> 00:12:47.019
And so they would get invaded, and they would get defeated
00:12:47.086 --> 00:12:48.187
And they would get defeated because the king wouldn't heed
00:12:48.254 --> 00:12:49.588
Because the king wouldn't heed the word of the prophet.
00:12:49.655 --> 00:12:50.189
The word of the prophet. the prophet would say,
00:12:50.256 --> 00:12:51.423
The prophet would say, "put your idols away,"
00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:52.825
"put your idols away," and the king would
00:12:52.892 --> 00:12:53.359
And the king would keep worshipping idols.
00:12:53.425 --> 00:12:54.527
Keep worshipping idols. or the prophet might say,
00:12:54.593 --> 00:12:56.295
Or the prophet might say, "you really need to turn
00:12:56.362 --> 00:12:57.196
"you really need to turn to the lord and not fight
00:12:57.263 --> 00:12:58.531
To the lord and not fight this battle, but let
00:12:58.597 --> 00:12:59.098
This battle, but let god fight it."
00:12:59.165 --> 00:13:00.432
God fight it." king go into battle anyway
00:13:00.499 --> 00:13:01.834
King go into battle anyway trying to fight his battles
00:13:01.901 --> 00:13:04.003
Trying to fight his battles in his own strength,
00:13:04.069 --> 00:13:04.970
In his own strength, and he'd end up dying.
00:13:05.037 --> 00:13:06.705
And he'd end up dying. but when it was right,
00:13:06.772 --> 00:13:08.007
But when it was right, the relationship between
00:13:08.073 --> 00:13:09.308
The relationship between the prophet and the king
00:13:09.375 --> 00:13:10.810
The prophet and the king was a special thing.
00:13:10.876 --> 00:13:12.311
Was a special thing. and isaiah and hezekiah had
00:13:12.378 --> 00:13:13.946
And isaiah and hezekiah had this kind of relationship.
00:13:14.013 --> 00:13:15.848
This kind of relationship. so, while isaiah is
00:13:15.915 --> 00:13:18.050
So, while isaiah is over prophesying,
00:13:18.117 --> 00:13:19.752
Over prophesying, hezekiah is dying of
00:13:19.819 --> 00:13:22.154
Hezekiah is dying of a sickness that we learn
00:13:22.221 --> 00:13:24.456
A sickness that we learn results in boils
00:13:24.523 --> 00:13:25.457
Results in boils all over his body.
00:13:25.524 --> 00:13:27.193
All over his body. this is a humiliating disease,
00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:29.395
This is a humiliating disease, a painful disease,
00:13:29.461 --> 00:13:31.197
A painful disease, a progressive disease.
00:13:31.263 --> 00:13:33.299
A progressive disease. and in his urgency
00:13:33.365 --> 00:13:34.834
And in his urgency and desperation,
00:13:34.900 --> 00:13:36.268
And desperation, he finally says,
00:13:36.335 --> 00:13:37.303
He finally says, "go get isaiah.
00:13:37.369 --> 00:13:38.804
"go get isaiah. he's my dude."
00:13:38.871 --> 00:13:40.072
He's my dude." in chapter 19, isaiah prophesied
00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:43.142
In chapter 19, isaiah prophesied the defeat of senekareb,
00:13:43.209 --> 00:13:45.077
The defeat of senekareb, who was an enemy of israel
00:13:45.144 --> 00:13:46.812
Who was an enemy of israel and senekareb didn't even get
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.380
And senekareb didn't even get in the camp because isaiah said,
00:13:48.447 --> 00:13:50.316
In the camp because isaiah said, "he's not coming in here.
00:13:50.382 --> 00:13:52.017
"he's not coming in here. this is god's battle.
00:13:52.084 --> 00:13:53.452
This is god's battle. you are god's king.
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:54.920
You are god's king. this is god's nation.
00:13:54.987 --> 00:13:56.622
This is god's nation. and when god says the enemy
00:13:56.689 --> 00:13:58.190
And when god says the enemy can't get farther,
00:13:58.257 --> 00:14:00.025
Can't get farther, he doesn't just put up
00:14:00.092 --> 00:14:01.327
He doesn't just put up and electric fence,
00:14:01.393 --> 00:14:02.928
And electric fence, but he puts up a word
00:14:02.995 --> 00:14:04.763
But he puts up a word that becomes a wall
00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:06.131
That becomes a wall and the enemy cannot
00:14:06.198 --> 00:14:07.233
And the enemy cannot touch what god has spoken."
00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:09.635
Touch what god has spoken." [cheering and applause]
00:14:09.702 --> 00:14:11.637
[cheering and applause] this time isaiah comes,
00:14:11.704 --> 00:14:13.539
This time isaiah comes, and hezekiah says,
00:14:13.606 --> 00:14:15.374
And hezekiah says, "tell me what to do."
00:14:15.441 --> 00:14:16.575
"tell me what to do." and isaiah says,
00:14:16.642 --> 00:14:17.576
And isaiah says, "you're gonna die."
00:14:17.643 --> 00:14:18.777
"you're gonna die." [laughter]
00:14:18.844 --> 00:14:21.247
[laughter] and it's like that,
00:14:21.313 --> 00:14:23.249
And it's like that, until verse 3.
00:14:23.315 --> 00:14:25.384
Until verse 3. until verse 3.
00:14:25.451 --> 00:14:27.586
Until verse 3. actually, it's in
00:14:27.653 --> 00:14:28.120
Actually, it's in verse 2 where it begins.
00:14:28.187 --> 00:14:30.489
Verse 2 where it begins. where it says, "hezekiah
00:14:30.556 --> 00:14:31.590
Where it says, "hezekiah did something,"
00:14:31.657 --> 00:14:33.559
Did something," that i wanna know,
00:14:33.626 --> 00:14:34.260
That i wanna know, would you be willing
00:14:34.326 --> 00:14:34.894
Would you be willing to do today.
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.495
To do today. verse 2, "hezekiah turned
00:14:36.562 --> 00:14:40.266
Verse 2, "hezekiah turned his face to the wall
00:14:40.332 --> 00:14:44.436
His face to the wall and prayed to the lord."
00:14:44.503 --> 00:14:48.107
And prayed to the lord." now, i don't know
00:14:48.173 --> 00:14:48.707
Now, i don't know who this is for,
00:14:48.774 --> 00:14:50.709
Who this is for, but i really didn't
00:14:50.776 --> 00:14:51.310
But i really didn't come up here to talk
00:14:51.377 --> 00:14:52.244
Come up here to talk about hezekiah today.
00:14:52.311 --> 00:14:54.246
About hezekiah today. i mean, i did, but
00:14:54.313 --> 00:14:56.081
That's a history lesson.
00:14:56.181 --> 00:14:58.617
That's a history lesson. i didn't come up
00:14:58.684 --> 00:14:59.118
I didn't come up here to talk about
00:14:59.184 --> 00:15:00.352
Here to talk about a bench press record today.
00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:02.855
A bench press record today. although, i'm glad to be
00:15:02.922 --> 00:15:04.123
Although, i'm glad to be able to brag about my boy.
00:15:04.189 --> 00:15:06.659
Able to brag about my boy. you know, i could be
00:15:06.725 --> 00:15:07.293
You know, i could be putting up pictures of him,
00:15:07.359 --> 00:15:08.260
Putting up pictures of him, he's in prison.
00:15:08.327 --> 00:15:08.894
Y'all pray for
00:15:08.994 --> 00:15:09.595
Y'all pray for elijah to get out.
00:15:09.662 --> 00:15:11.230
Elijah to get out. i'm pretty proud that i'm--
00:15:11.297 --> 00:15:12.865
I'm pretty proud that i'm-- he's bench pressing
00:15:12.932 --> 00:15:13.499
He's bench pressing and he's at youthx instead.
00:15:13.565 --> 00:15:15.935
And he's at youthx instead. but i didn't come up here to --
00:15:16.001 --> 00:15:16.936
But i didn't come up here to -- today to talk about
00:15:17.002 --> 00:15:18.170
Today to talk about those things at all.
00:15:18.237 --> 00:15:19.872
Those things at all. i came up here to use it
00:15:19.939 --> 00:15:21.674
I came up here to use it as a lesson today,
00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:23.142
As a lesson today, that whether it's
00:15:23.208 --> 00:15:24.877
That whether it's the worse news of your life,
00:15:24.944 --> 00:15:27.713
The worse news of your life, or whether it's a setback
00:15:27.780 --> 00:15:29.381
Or whether it's a setback that you're facing
00:15:29.448 --> 00:15:30.716
That you're facing and you're trying to decide,
00:15:30.783 --> 00:15:32.618
And you're trying to decide, "is this just how it is,
00:15:32.685 --> 00:15:35.721
"is this just how it is, or is there something
00:15:35.788 --> 00:15:37.089
Or is there something that god would say
00:15:37.156 --> 00:15:38.891
That god would say that would change it?"
00:15:38.958 --> 00:15:41.160
That would change it?" there is an opportunity
00:15:41.226 --> 00:15:42.094
There is an opportunity for you by faith in this moment,
00:15:42.161 --> 00:15:44.630
For you by faith in this moment, should you choose to receive it,
00:15:44.697 --> 00:15:47.333
Should you choose to receive it, and should you choose to enter
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.068
And should you choose to enter into it to take the situation
00:15:49.134 --> 00:15:52.604
Into it to take the situation as it is presented to you
00:15:52.671 --> 00:15:55.674
As it is presented to you and bring it before the lord
00:15:55.741 --> 00:15:57.977
And bring it before the lord for further consideration.
00:15:58.043 --> 00:16:00.346
For further consideration. a lot of us are stuck in
00:16:00.412 --> 00:16:02.414
A lot of us are stuck in what we call acceptance,
00:16:02.481 --> 00:16:05.384
What we call acceptance, but it has become apathy.
00:16:05.451 --> 00:16:08.954
But it has become apathy. because sometimes you just
00:16:09.021 --> 00:16:10.756
Because sometimes you just have to accept the way it is.
00:16:10.823 --> 00:16:13.359
Have to accept the way it is. but sometimes you will feel
00:16:13.425 --> 00:16:15.094
But sometimes you will feel something in your heart
00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:16.562
Something in your heart that will say,
00:16:16.628 --> 00:16:17.663
That will say, "wait a minute.
00:16:17.730 --> 00:16:19.898
"wait a minute. the prophet said i have to die,
00:16:19.965 --> 00:16:23.402
The prophet said i have to die, but even the prophet
00:16:23.469 --> 00:16:24.970
But even the prophet has a boss."
00:16:25.037 --> 00:16:27.006
Has a boss." [cheering and applause]
00:16:27.072 --> 00:16:27.773
[cheering and applause] i don't know if you've ever
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:28.507
I don't know if you've ever been on a customer service call,
00:16:28.574 --> 00:16:30.709
Been on a customer service call, and you realize you were talking
00:16:30.776 --> 00:16:32.311
And you realize you were talking to somebody who is an employee
00:16:32.378 --> 00:16:35.314
To somebody who is an employee but not the owner.
00:16:35.381 --> 00:16:37.049
But not the owner. and maybe in that frustration,
00:16:37.116 --> 00:16:38.917
And maybe in that frustration, you said something like this,
00:16:38.984 --> 00:16:40.919
You said something like this, "i'd like to speak
00:16:40.986 --> 00:16:42.187
"i'd like to speak to your supervisor."
00:16:42.254 --> 00:16:46.225
To your supervisor." so, imagine this,
00:16:46.291 --> 00:16:47.860
So, imagine this, you're hezekiah
00:16:47.926 --> 00:16:49.361
You're hezekiah and you're dying,
00:16:49.428 --> 00:16:50.763
And you're dying, and you're a husband,
00:16:50.829 --> 00:16:51.964
And you're a husband, and you're hurting,
00:16:52.031 --> 00:16:53.165
And you're hurting, and you've turned to people,
00:16:53.232 --> 00:16:54.967
And you've turned to people, and you've turned to
00:16:55.034 --> 00:16:55.734
And you've turned to a therapist, and you've
00:16:55.801 --> 00:16:57.102
A therapist, and you've turned to a bottle,
00:16:57.169 --> 00:16:58.370
Turned to a bottle, and you've come to a doctor,
00:16:58.437 --> 00:17:00.139
And you've come to a doctor, and you've run to a well,
00:17:00.205 --> 00:17:01.840
And you've run to a well, and that well ran dry,
00:17:01.907 --> 00:17:03.675
And that well ran dry, but i feel somebody
00:17:03.742 --> 00:17:05.511
But i feel somebody turning their faith to
00:17:05.577 --> 00:17:06.745
Turning their faith to the wall today and saying,
00:17:06.812 --> 00:17:08.514
The wall today and saying, "god, it's me,
00:17:08.580 --> 00:17:10.616
"god, it's me, the one you chose,
00:17:10.682 --> 00:17:12.384
The one you chose, the one you called,
00:17:12.451 --> 00:17:13.385
The one you called, the one you raised,
00:17:13.452 --> 00:17:14.987
The one you raised, and i need you right now."
00:17:15.054 --> 00:17:16.955
And i need you right now." can i speak to a...supervisor.
00:17:17.022 --> 00:17:20.726
Can i speak to a...supervisor. [cheering and applause]
00:17:20.793 --> 00:17:27.699
[cheering and applause] and he prayed,
00:17:27.766 --> 00:17:29.868
And he prayed, he prayed about it,
00:17:29.935 --> 00:17:31.837
He prayed about it, and he cried about it.
00:17:31.904 --> 00:17:33.705
And he cried about it. now, here's where we have
00:17:33.772 --> 00:17:34.640
Now, here's where we have to get into the imagery
00:17:34.706 --> 00:17:36.408
To get into the imagery of the text.
00:17:36.475 --> 00:17:37.009
Of the text. oh, this is good.
00:17:37.076 --> 00:17:38.110
Oh, this is good. okay, okay, okay.
00:17:38.177 --> 00:17:39.645
Okay, okay, okay. so, the prophet comes
00:17:39.711 --> 00:17:40.813
So, the prophet comes to announce, "it's over.
00:17:40.879 --> 00:17:44.783
To announce, "it's over. the best thing you can do
00:17:44.850 --> 00:17:45.617
The best thing you can do is just go ahead and accept
00:17:45.684 --> 00:17:46.351
Is just go ahead and accept the fact that it's over."
00:17:46.418 --> 00:17:48.821
The fact that it's over." that is sometimes exactly right.
00:17:48.887 --> 00:17:51.623
That is sometimes exactly right. i remember when a certain thing
00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:53.025
I remember when a certain thing was happening in my life
00:17:53.092 --> 00:17:54.293
Was happening in my life and a friend of mine advised me,
00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:55.894
And a friend of mine advised me, "you have to have a funeral
00:17:55.961 --> 00:17:56.929
"you have to have a funeral for your expectations."
00:17:56.995 --> 00:18:01.400
For your expectations." because i was trying to get
00:18:01.467 --> 00:18:02.334
Because i was trying to get somebody else to change,
00:18:02.401 --> 00:18:04.336
Somebody else to change, and i can't change anybody else.
00:18:04.403 --> 00:18:06.071
And i can't change anybody else. [cheering and applause]
00:18:06.138 --> 00:18:11.844
[cheering and applause] certain things
00:18:11.910 --> 00:18:12.444
Certain things we have to accept.
00:18:12.511 --> 00:18:14.713
We have to accept. i have to accept and it's
00:18:14.780 --> 00:18:16.148
I have to accept and it's a very hard thing for me,
00:18:16.215 --> 00:18:18.484
A very hard thing for me, my height.
00:18:18.550 --> 00:18:19.985
[laughter]
00:18:20.085 --> 00:18:24.289
[laughter] all potential of my nba career
00:18:24.356 --> 00:18:29.595
All potential of my nba career has faded into the shadows
00:18:29.661 --> 00:18:33.031
Of the sun dial of ahaz,
00:18:33.132 --> 00:18:35.134
Of the sun dial of ahaz, along with hezekiah's health.
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:36.668
Along with hezekiah's health. now, you gotta understand
00:18:36.735 --> 00:18:38.003
Now, you gotta understand about this passage, man.
00:18:38.070 --> 00:18:39.805
About this passage, man. this passage doesn't give us
00:18:39.872 --> 00:18:41.406
This passage doesn't give us a picture of somebody
00:18:41.473 --> 00:18:43.542
A picture of somebody who turned his face to
00:18:43.609 --> 00:18:44.610
Who turned his face to the wall in perfect faith.
00:18:44.676 --> 00:18:48.113
The wall in perfect faith. for the bible says that
00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:49.314
For the bible says that he began to ask god,
00:18:49.381 --> 00:18:51.617
He began to ask god, remember all that he has done.
00:18:51.683 --> 00:18:55.254
Remember all that he has done. not all that god has done,
00:18:55.320 --> 00:18:56.555
Not all that god has done, hezekiah said, "remember,
00:18:56.622 --> 00:18:57.489
Hezekiah said, "remember, lord, how i have walked
00:18:57.556 --> 00:18:58.857
Lord, how i have walked with you faithfully
00:18:58.924 --> 00:19:00.292
With you faithfully in wholehearted devotion
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:01.360
In wholehearted devotion and have done what is
00:19:01.426 --> 00:19:01.960
And have done what is good in your eyes."
00:19:02.027 --> 00:19:03.629
Good in your eyes." but then, the next part is
00:19:03.695 --> 00:19:04.463
But then, the next part is important because it says that,
00:19:04.530 --> 00:19:05.497
Important because it says that, "he wept bitterly."
00:19:05.564 --> 00:19:07.966
"he wept bitterly." now, mark this down.
00:19:08.033 --> 00:19:09.201
Now, mark this down. you can weep bitterly
00:19:09.268 --> 00:19:11.003
You can weep bitterly and still pray faithfully.
00:19:11.069 --> 00:19:16.942
And still pray faithfully. you can weep bitterly
00:19:17.009 --> 00:19:18.877
You can weep bitterly and still wait expectantly.
00:19:18.944 --> 00:19:24.049
And still wait expectantly. you can accept what it is,
00:19:24.116 --> 00:19:27.920
You can accept what it is, but still believe that
00:19:27.986 --> 00:19:30.389
But still believe that it can be something greater.
00:19:30.455 --> 00:19:33.992
It can be something greater. i'm looking at some
00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:34.560
I'm looking at some people today, who have accepted
00:19:34.626 --> 00:19:37.629
People today, who have accepted some things in your life
00:19:37.696 --> 00:19:39.765
Some things in your life as all that they can ever be.
00:19:39.831 --> 00:19:44.236
As all that they can ever be. and when you accept
00:19:44.303 --> 00:19:46.538
And when you accept the announcement of the shadow,
00:19:46.605 --> 00:19:51.176
The announcement of the shadow, you neglect the presence
00:19:51.243 --> 00:19:54.379
You neglect the presence of the source.
00:19:54.446 --> 00:19:55.647
Of the source. [cheering and applause]
00:19:55.714 --> 00:20:00.619
[cheering and applause] let's talk about
00:20:00.686 --> 00:20:01.019
Let's talk about the biblical image of a shadow.
00:20:01.086 --> 00:20:02.020
The biblical image of a shadow. it is mentioned in the bible
00:20:02.087 --> 00:20:03.288
It is mentioned in the bible both literally like
00:20:03.355 --> 00:20:05.123
Both literally like the shelter or the shadow
00:20:05.190 --> 00:20:06.692
The shelter or the shadow that jonah sat under.
00:20:06.758 --> 00:20:08.927
That jonah sat under. it is mentioned metaphorically
00:20:08.994 --> 00:20:10.462
It is mentioned metaphorically many times in a positive sense.
00:20:10.529 --> 00:20:12.965
Many times in a positive sense. one of my favorite scripture
00:20:13.031 --> 00:20:14.066
One of my favorite scripture says, "he that dwelleth
00:20:14.132 --> 00:20:18.270
Says, "he that dwelleth in the secret place
00:20:18.337 --> 00:20:18.937
In the secret place of the most high shall
00:20:19.004 --> 00:20:19.871
Of the most high shall abide under the shadow
00:20:19.938 --> 00:20:22.040
Abide under the shadow of the almighty."
00:20:22.107 --> 00:20:22.708
Of the almighty." you know that verse?
00:20:22.774 --> 00:20:24.276
You know that verse? love that verse.
00:20:24.343 --> 00:20:24.977
Love that verse. it lets me know
00:20:25.043 --> 00:20:25.944
It lets me know god has me covered.
00:20:26.011 --> 00:20:29.014
God has me covered. it means protection.
00:20:29.081 --> 00:20:30.048
It means protection. it means that his presence
00:20:30.115 --> 00:20:31.083
It means that his presence is my protection.
00:20:31.149 --> 00:20:32.651
Is my protection. write that down
00:20:32.718 --> 00:20:33.085
Write that down and go back to it this week
00:20:33.151 --> 00:20:34.186
And go back to it this week when you get in trouble.
00:20:34.253 --> 00:20:35.320
When you get in trouble. "his presence is my protection."
00:20:35.387 --> 00:20:37.055
"his presence is my protection." anywhere i go, god is with me.
00:20:37.122 --> 00:20:39.024
Anywhere i go, god is with me. anywhere i walk,
00:20:39.091 --> 00:20:39.858
Anywhere i walk, god went there before me.
00:20:39.925 --> 00:20:41.493
God went there before me. and if he got there before me,
00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:42.728
And if he got there before me, then i am protected
00:20:42.794 --> 00:20:43.862
Then i am protected and sheltered in the shadow
00:20:43.929 --> 00:20:45.297
And sheltered in the shadow of the most high,
00:20:45.364 --> 00:20:46.365
Of the most high, and i will abide
00:20:46.431 --> 00:20:47.032
And i will abide under his shadow,
00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:48.533
Under his shadow, and i will not,
00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:49.601
And i will not, i will not fear the arrow
00:20:49.668 --> 00:20:50.902
I will not fear the arrow that flies by day
00:20:50.969 --> 00:20:51.737
That flies by day nor the pestilence
00:20:51.803 --> 00:20:52.771
Nor the pestilence that flies by night.
00:20:52.838 --> 00:20:54.306
That flies by night. that's the shadow.
00:20:54.373 --> 00:20:56.575
That's the shadow. perhaps, one of the most
00:20:56.642 --> 00:20:57.542
Perhaps, one of the most famous biblical images
00:20:57.609 --> 00:20:59.044
Famous biblical images of the shadow
00:20:59.111 --> 00:21:00.412
Of the shadow comes through david,
00:21:00.479 --> 00:21:01.480
Comes through david, who said, "yea though
00:21:01.546 --> 00:21:03.649
Who said, "yea though i walk through the valley,"
00:21:03.715 --> 00:21:07.719
I walk through the valley," now, this is a different
00:21:07.786 --> 00:21:08.453
Now, this is a different kind of shadow.
00:21:08.520 --> 00:21:10.489
Kind of shadow. he said, "i walk sometimes
00:21:10.555 --> 00:21:12.691
He said, "i walk sometimes through the valley
00:21:12.758 --> 00:21:14.526
Through the valley of the shadow of death.
00:21:14.593 --> 00:21:18.497
Of the shadow of death. i will fear no evil."
00:21:18.563 --> 00:21:21.433
I will fear no evil." that's an amazing verse, to me.
00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:24.236
That's an amazing verse, to me. because it lets me know
00:21:24.303 --> 00:21:25.937
Because it lets me know that what david was going
00:21:26.004 --> 00:21:27.439
That what david was going through in that moment,
00:21:27.506 --> 00:21:29.474
Through in that moment, felt like death
00:21:29.541 --> 00:21:31.777
Felt like death but it wasn't death,
00:21:31.843 --> 00:21:34.212
But it wasn't death, it was the valley of
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:36.448
It was the valley of the shadow of death.
00:21:36.515 --> 00:21:40.285
The shadow of death. sometimes, what you're going
00:21:40.352 --> 00:21:41.653
Sometimes, what you're going through, it feels like the end.
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:44.923
Through, it feels like the end. it is a valley, but one thing
00:21:44.990 --> 00:21:47.426
It is a valley, but one thing you gotta remember about
00:21:47.492 --> 00:21:48.927
You gotta remember about a valley, the only way
00:21:48.994 --> 00:21:51.396
A valley, the only way there can be a valley
00:21:51.463 --> 00:21:53.465
There can be a valley is that there is a mountain
00:21:53.532 --> 00:21:54.933
Is that there is a mountain on either side of it.
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:55.767
On either side of it. [cheering and applause]
00:21:55.834 --> 00:21:59.371
[cheering and applause] that is the very
00:21:59.438 --> 00:22:00.272
That is the very essence of a valley.
00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:02.274
Essence of a valley. so, the thing that you're going
00:22:02.341 --> 00:22:03.475
So, the thing that you're going through right now in your life,
00:22:03.542 --> 00:22:05.944
Through right now in your life, while the enemy would love
00:22:06.011 --> 00:22:07.145
While the enemy would love to use it as evidence
00:22:07.212 --> 00:22:07.979
To use it as evidence that god has left you,
00:22:08.046 --> 00:22:09.214
That god has left you, it is actually the evidence
00:22:09.281 --> 00:22:10.782
It is actually the evidence that god has something
