00:55 Aud.: Amen. 00:56 PB: When I first arrived here over two years ago, 00:59 you'll remember my first year here we 01:01 had 34 funerals. 01:03 It just seems that they come in bunches, and now this week 01:06 it appears that they're coming in bunches, and so I just have 01:11 one verse that I would encourage you with today, 01:14 and that's taken from Job 13, verse number 15. 01:22 Job 13:15, the Word of God says, "Though he slay me, 01:29 yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain 01:36 mine own ways before him." 01:39 Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him. 01:46 Today you've got to learn how to trust without limits. 01:52 [Aud. reaction] PB: Father in heaven, Lord, 01:53 now breathe on us, speak for Your servants here. 01:56 Hide us behind Your cross, may Your Holy Ghost bring today, 02:00 bring healing, bring comfort, to Thy people we pray. 02:07 In Jesus' name, amen. 02:09 Aud.: Amen. 02:10 PB: The book of Job is one of the oldest books 02:16 in the Bible. 02:18 In fact, though the book of Job is placed in the Bible 02:21 after the book of Esther and before the book of Psalms, 02:25 many theologians believe that the book of Job was written 02:29 after Exodus, and so its authorship is ascribed to Moses. 02:34 Remember, the Bible is not written 02:39 in chronological order. 02:41 All the things in Genesis did not necessarily happen 02:45 first, and all the things in Revelation 02:48 did not necessarily happen last because how could 02:51 war in heaven with Satan being thrown out of heaven, 02:55 as written in Revelation, happen after the fall of man, 02:59 as written in Genesis? 03:01 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Yes, Genesis 03:03 comes before Revelation, but Satan's fall from heaven 03:07 happened before Adam and Eve ate fruit. 03:12 Because they couldn't have been deceived to eat fruit 03:15 if Satan hadn't fallen in the first place. 03:18 The book of Job tells the story about a man who 03:23 had everything. 03:24 Lost everything. 03:28 But in the end got everything plus interest back. 03:32 Do I have a witness in this place? 03:34 [Aud. reaction]: PB: In the book of Job, 03:36 you will discover that disaster took his fortune. 03:40 Disease tortured his flesh. 03:43 Death touched his family. 03:46 Deceit turned his friends. 03:49 But God's deliverance gave him double for his trouble. 03:53 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Let this be a reminder 03:55 for us. 03:56 I don't care how rough it gets, I don't care how tough it gets, 04:01 no weapon formed against you is going to prosper. 04:07 Somebody knows that if God be for us, who can be against us? 04:13 Job, however, is not remembered 04:16 for his triumphs. 04:17 Job is remembered for his trials. 04:21 The story of Job is not a fairy tale. 04:24 Job is not some fictitious figure of the past, 04:28 Job was a real man who lived in a real world, 04:32 who faced real problems and fought a real devil. 04:36 Job was a man of flesh and blood, just like you and me. 04:40 Job lost the three things that are considered signs 04:43 of a man's well-being. 04:44 Number one, he lost his wealth. 04:46 He lost his health. 04:49 And then, he also lost his family. 04:53 In one 24-hour period, Job's life is turned upside-down. 04:59 Job has lost everything that he worked for his entire life. 05:03 In one day it's all gone. 05:05 Job's own wife said, "Why don't you just go ahead 05:08 and curse God and die?" 05:11 Job received bad news on top of bad news. 05:16 The devil said, "Okay, just watch now. 05:20 Just watch him, because he's now about to have a cussin' 05:24 fit and turn away from God." 05:27 The Bible says Job was a righteous man. 05:31 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Job did not turn from God 05:35 when bad things started happening to him. 05:37 It was Job who said, "Though he slay me, 05:41 yet will I trust in him." 05:45 In other words, God, you can kill me, but I'm not leaving 05:48 You. 05:49 God, I'm not going anywhere. 05:52 Trust in You is more important than living is to me, because 05:56 even in the depths of his sorrow, Job mourns more over 05:59 what seems to be his loss of God than he does over 06:02 the loss of his prosperity and family. 06:05 To live is Christ. 06:06 To die is gain. 06:09 After Job loses everything, after Job's wife tells him 06:13 to curse God and die. 06:14 The Bible says that Job rent his mantle, shaves his head, 06:20 falls down to the ground and then he starts worshiping 06:24 and praising God. 06:26 I believe that I've got a witness in this place that 06:30 knows that some of your best worship is when you're broken. 06:35 When everything in your life is breaking loose. 06:38 Because that's when the Master Mender puts everything back 06:43 together again. 06:44 Do I have a witness in this place? 06:46 [Aud. reaction]: PB: That's why 06:48 I'm a praiser. 06:49 That's why I'm a worshiper. 06:50 That's why I lift my hands and I bless Him. 06:53 Not just when I'm in trouble but when things are also going 06:56 well, because in the good times, praise His name. 06:59 [Aud. reaction]: PB: In the bad times, 07:01 we've got to do the same. 07:02 In everything, give the King of Kings all the praise. 07:06 But in the middle of the book, Job gets into a conversation 07:11 with his friends. 07:12 His friends suggest that because of his troubles, that in some 07:18 form or fashion he must have sinned against God. 07:23 Job and his friends were stepped in the tradition that 07:25 claimed suffering was always a punishment for a specific sin, 07:29 but the philosophy of suffering as set forth by the friends 07:32 of Job was not correct. 07:33 Listen to me carefully. 07:34 As a child of God you must always distinguish between 07:38 the truth of an infinite God versus the faulty ideas 07:41 expressed by infinite speakers. 07:44 Aud.: Amen. 07:45 PB: Rain falls on the just and the unjust. 07:51 Just because you love God doesn't mean 07:54 you won't have trouble. 07:55 Aud.: Amen. 07:56 PB: Just because you go to church doesn't mean 07:59 everything is going to be peaches and cream. 08:01 Some people think that if they serve God, if they worship 08:05 God, if they praise God that your marriage will always 08:07 be great, your kids will be great, 08:09 your finances will be great, your job will be great 08:12 and your health will be great. 08:13 But the Bible says that they that live godly lives are going 08:16 to suffer persecution. 08:17 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Which means, 08:20 you can believe God and still go through trouble. 08:25 You can believe God and still go through tests. 08:28 Go through trials, go through persecution, 08:30 adversities, perplexities and complexities, 08:33 because just because you have a connection with God doesn't 08:36 mean you won't go through trouble. 08:39 Aud.: Amen. 08:40 PB: In life I've learned things happen. 08:45 Stuff happens. 08:47 It happens to good people. 08:49 It happens to bad people. 08:52 It happens to old people, to young people. 08:54 It happens to rich people, it happens to poor people, 08:57 it happens to black people, it happens to white people, 09:02 it happens to everybody in spite of your commitment 09:05 to the church. 09:06 In spite of the fact that you return tithes and offerings, 09:09 in spite of the fact that you may sing in the choir or usher 09:12 in the church, trouble will still come. 09:14 [Aud. reaction]: PB: But you understand 09:16 you have to go through something where your faith 09:20 is tried. 09:22 Faith is not proven in abundance. 09:26 Faith is proved in lack. 09:30 Tough times. 09:32 Dark days. 09:33 Faith is proven when the lights are out, not when the lights 09:36 are on. 09:38 When your tuition is due and your money is low. 09:40 When the cancer has been found. 09:44 When you're standing there in divorce court, when your 09:46 friends have walled out on you, God you see cannot let you 09:50 go through life easily, because that wouldn't build 09:52 your faith. 09:53 Aud.: Amen. 09:54 PB: And so God will let you experience and get in trouble 09:57 so He can teach you how to survive trouble 09:59 and its attack. 10:01 Job quickly goes through three cycles of conversation 10:05 with his so-called friends. 10:06 Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, and then the Bible says Elihu 10:12 shares four speeches. 10:14 In a nutshell, these so-called friends tell Brother Job 10:19 that his suffering is linked to sin. 10:22 But Job is not aware of this sin, and so Job 10:26 was faced with the predicament of finding an explanation 10:29 for his misfortune. 10:31 Can you imagine, friends of mine, losing everything you 10:34 had? 10:36 Everything gone. 10:38 Your health, gone. 10:39 Your wealth, gone. 10:40 Your family, gone. 10:41 And then on top of that your so-called friends, who you've 10:45 given money to help out, come by and folks you helped, 10:50 because you do know the people you help the most appreciate 10:52 it the least. 10:54 [Aud. reaction]: PB: The people you've helped 10:59 come by and instead of saying "God bless you, 11:03 Brother," or, "We're praying for you, Brother," 11:08 they say no, we're just going to criticize you by saying 11:11 "The reason, Job, you're going through this must be because 11:15 you're not right with God." 11:18 The text, Job 13, expounds on the second cycle 11:22 of conversations with Job and his friends. 11:27 But after charges of being accused a sinner, my friends, 11:30 Job then says, "Let me respond." 11:34 In verse 1 and 2, Job confirms that he has seen and heard 11:38 the same thing that his friend Zophar has. 11:41 Job is not ignorant of the things that are taking 11:43 place around him, nor is he ignorant 11:45 of the theology of the day. 11:46 In verse 4, Job tells his friends, "Look, I've talked 11:50 to you enough. 11:51 I'm tired of talking to you, let me know take you 11:55 to the top. 11:56 Let me take it and talk to the One who says 11:59 the buck stops here." 12:02 Job has already heard what his friends have had to say, 12:05 and they are of no help, so now he says, 12:07 "Let me speak to the One who's in charge." 12:10 In verse number 4 then, Job goes on the offensive. 12:15 He has listened to the "wisdom" of his friends and now 12:20 he wants to speak. 12:21 You see, I must admit, I'm a little like Job. 12:24 Job was one who believed, if you're going to say what 12:26 you're going to say, then in the spirit 12:29 of reciprocity let me say what I'm going to say. 12:32 And because of this, you're going to listen. 12:34 Do I have a witness in this place? 12:36 [Aud. reaction]: PB: The Bible says Job 12:38 calls them worthless liars. 12:40 He calls them worthless doctors. 12:45 Job calls his friends worthless physicians because 12:48 they have given advice, but they have no cure for it. 12:52 We know a lot of times what the problem is, but if you don't 12:57 have a solution then I suggest you just ought to be quiet. 13:02 He says that the wisest thing you can do is sit down 13:06 somewhere and listen. 13:08 So Job then begins to ask his friends a series 13:12 of rhetorical questions. 13:14 Number one, in verse 7, he says, "Will you speak falsely 13:18 for God?" 13:20 Verse 8, he says, "Are you God's mouthpiece?" 13:24 Verse 9, he says, "When it's all said and done, where will 13:28 you stand with God? 13:31 And so, in verse 12 Job tells his friends that their wisdom 13:34 is nothing more than ashes and clay. 13:36 Job asks his friends to let him speak. 13:38 He says that once he says what he has to say, 13:40 then let the chips fall where they may. 13:43 And so he comes to the text of Scripture. 13:46 In verse number 15, "Though he slay me, 13:51 yet will I trust in him." 13:58 I like the way the Holman Christian Standard Bible 14:01 puts it. 14:02 It says, "Even if God kills me, I will have hope in him." 14:09 Regardless of what comes my way, I still will have hope 14:13 in God. 14:14 Hallelujah, friends of mine. 14:15 So then, what do you do when trouble strikes? 14:19 What do you do when the bottom falls out? 14:25 What do you do when you feel like throwing in the towel? 14:30 What do you do when you've been diagnosed with cancer 14:33 or some incurable disease? 14:35 What do you do when you or someone you love has been 14:39 diagnosed with HIV. 14:41 What do you do when your loved one dies? 14:47 What do you do when your daughter dies, when she's only 14:51 four months old? 14:55 What do you do? 14:58 Three things I want to suggest to you then Iím going to sit 14:59 down. 15:01 Number one, and this is no theological masterpiece. 15:06 When trouble comes, you've got to learn how to trust God. 15:10 [Aud. reaction]: PB: "Trust in the Lord 15:14 with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own 15:21 understanding but in all thy ways acknowledge him, 15:26 and he shall direct thy path." 15:29 "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, 15:34 the evidence of things not seen." "Without faith 15:37 it is impossible to please God." 15:40 "God is the rewarder of those that diligently 15:42 seek him." 15:44 Friends of mine, things may get rough. 15:46 But you've got to keep trusting in God. 15:49 Things may get tough, but you've got to keep 15:53 trusting in God. 15:54 You may feel like giving up sometimes, but you've got 15:58 to keep trusting in God. 15:59 Sickness may be running through your body, but you've 16:02 got to keep trusting in your God. 16:04 You might not have a penny to your name, but you've got 16:07 to keep trusting in God. 16:09 Your marriage may be in trouble, your children may 16:12 be out of control, but you've got to keep trusting in God 16:16 because I once was young, but now Iím old, but I've never 16:20 seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging 16:24 for bread. 16:25 You have to have faith - [Aud. reaction]: 16:28 PB: in God. 16:29 Regardless of your troubles, you've got to keep trusting 16:33 in God. 16:34 No matter how you're suffering, you've got to keep 16:36 trusting God. 16:37 No matter what you deal with, you've got to keep trusting 16:39 God. 16:40 No matter what people do to you, you've got to keep 16:42 trusting God. 16:43 No matter the diagnosis, you've got to keep trusting 16:45 God. 16:46 Man's extremity is God's opportunity. 16:48 Your setback is a setup for a comeback. 16:51 [Aud. reaction]: PB: What lessons can I learn 16:55 from a setback? 16:57 A setback will teach you that something is about to break. 17:02 And I'm not talking about a breakdown or a breakup, 17:04 I'm talking about a breakthrough. 17:06 I wish I had a witness in this place. 17:08 [Aud. reaction]: PB: The very thing that somebody 17:11 in this church right now, you're dealing with right now. 17:13 Maybe a death of a friend, death of a church member, 17:15 death of a loved one, finances in trouble. 17:17 The thing you're dealing with right now, the issues 17:20 that you're confronting right now have everything to do 17:22 with your walk with God. 17:24 Friends, let's be clear. 17:25 That doesn't mean that if you're going through trouble 17:28 that it's a sign that you don't have a connection 17:30 with God. 17:31 Listen, it might not be the lack of your faith 17:34 that got you into it, but it's the strength 17:37 of your faith that's going to get you out of it. 17:39 [Aud. reaction]: PB: I'm trying to help somebody 17:43 understand that we can trust God in times of trouble. 17:49 Ellen White says in "Prophets and Kings" that "Hope 17:51 and courage are essential to perfect service for God." 17:54 She said, "These are the fruit of faith. 17:56 Despondency," she says, "Is sinful and unreasonable." 18:00 She says, "God is willing and able more abundantly 18:04 to bestow upon His servants the strength that they need 18:06 for test and trial." 18:08 Friends, she says, "The enemies of God and the enemies 18:12 of Satan's work may seem to be well laid and firmly 18:15 established." 18:16 But this is what gives me encouragement. 18:20 She says, "But God can overthrow the strongest 18:23 of beings and this I've had to learn. 18:27 He does in His own way," she says, "and His own time, 18:32 when He sees that the faith of His servants 18:37 has been sufficiently tested." 18:39 Aud.: Hallelujah. 18:40 PB: Do you all realize what happened? 18:43 That in one day Job lost all of his donkeys. 18:47 Lost all of his oxen. 18:50 All his sheep, all his animals, all his children, all his 18:53 servants except the four who came to tell him the news. 18:55 The only thing he didn't lose was his wife. 18:59 But seeing how she told him to curse God and die, maybe Job 19:03 would have been better off if he had lost her too. 19:05 Come on, say amen. 19:06 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Job was a broken man. 19:11 He had very good reason to think and feel that God 19:17 had left him. 19:19 But Job says, You can kill me, but God I'm not leaving You. 19:26 I'm not letting go that easily. 19:32 Number two: In trouble, you've got to know 19:36 the Word of God. 19:37 Knowing God's Word increases your faith and trust in God. 19:43 Paul said, "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing 19:47 by the word of God." 19:50 David said, "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might 19:53 not sin against thee. 19:54 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path." 19:59 Peter says, in 1 Peter 5:8 that "We are kept by faith." 20:03 You see, our joy is not zeal without knowledge. 20:07 There are a lot of us who say amen, a lot of us who shout. 20:10 And folk don't know why you shout or why you say amen. 20:14 But our joy is based on a revelation. 20:17 It's based on a Word from the Most High God. 20:20 That's why I love the Word of God. 20:23 I don't care what you obtain on this side of life, 20:26 you'd better have a Word from the Lord in time 20:28 of trouble. 20:29 You can know the ruats of Hebrew, you can know 20:31 the evangelions of Greek, you can know the buenos noches 20:34 of Spanish, but like wood it will deteriorate. 20:38 Put water in a glass, it will evaporate. 20:41 The car you drive, it will depreciate. 20:44 The money in your pocket will devaluate. 20:47 Heaven and earth may pass away, but somebody knows 20:55 that the Word of God is going to stand forever. 21:00 You see, when you get enough Word in you, you can look at 21:06 folk and say, If you knew what I knew, you'd understand 21:11 why I act like I act. 21:14 Oh, y'all don't hear me. 21:15 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Let me tell you something. 21:17 Talking about when you have a Word in you, 21:19 when God's Word is in you. 21:20 When growing up, when I was growing up, in fact, probably 21:22 all of us when we were growing up there was a little toy 21:24 you used to have. 21:26 Maybe you didn't have it, but I remember having it. 21:29 I don't know if they still have it today. 21:31 I looked in the store, my daughter being a baby, 21:33 but they don't seem to have it. 21:34 But some of you may remember this, there was a toy and it 21:36 was called a See and Say. 21:38 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Anybody know what 21:40 I'm talking about? 21:41 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Everybody say "See and Say." 21:44 Aud.: See and Say. 21:46 PB: Now, for those that didn't know and don't know, it was 21:49 a round toy and it had an arrow on the toy. 21:54 And if you would pull the string, the arrow would turn 22:01 and after turning a while it would land on an animal. 22:05 And if landed on a sheep, it would say, "This is what 22:11 a sheep sounds like: Baa. Baa." 22:13 [Aud. reaction]: PB: You pull the string again, 22:19 and it would land on a cow. 22:22 And it would say, "This is what a cow sounds like: 22:25 Moo. Moo." 22:27 You pull the string again and the string 22:32 would land on a pig. 22:34 And it would say, "This is what a pig sounds like: 22:37 Oink. Oink. Oink-oink." 22:39 [Aud. reaction]: PB: What's interesting here 22:42 is the engineers of the See and Say, 22:44 they put a chip or something in the See and Say. 22:47 They recorded words, they recorded voices, 22:50 and they recorded and stored them in the See and Say. 22:52 You wouldn't know the voices were in the See and Say. 22:54 You wouldn't know the words were in the See and Say 22:56 until you pulled the string. 22:58 [Aud. reaction]: PB: I'm trying to help somebody. 23:04 Aolineís got it, but Iím trying to help somebody. 23:07 The devil's been messing with somebody's stuff. 23:12 Devil, you pulled the wrong string. 23:17 [Aud. reaction]: PB: The devil's been saying, 23:21 "You're going to be sick." 23:23 Devil, you pulled the wrong string. 23:28 "He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my 23:33 iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, 23:38 but by his stripes I am healed." 23:41 The devil's been messing with somebody's money. 23:43 Devil, you messed with the wrong somebody. 23:46 You pulled the wrong string, for my God shall supply 23:51 all of my needs according to His riches in glory. 23:54 The devil's been messing with somebody's mind. 23:57 Get thee behind me, Satan. 23:59 In the name of Jesus, God shall keep me in perfect peace 24:05 when my mind is stayed on Him. 24:07 Hallelujah, somebody. 24:08 [Aud. reaction]: PB: Do me a favor. 24:10 You're a little stiff. 24:11 Turn to your neighbor and say, "Neighbor." 24:13 Aud.: Neighbor. 24:14 PB: "Don't pull my string." 24:15 Aud.: Don't pull my string. 24:16 PB: Let me tell you something. 24:19 In time of trouble, you're going to need a Word from the Lord. 24:24 Finally, number three: In time of trouble, you're going 24:32 to need a strong prayer life. 24:35 But I want to share and suggest that you don't need a strong 24:39 prayer life just in trouble. 24:42 But you need a strong prayer life all the time, because 24:45 when you get in trouble, you're going to need something 24:46 saved up on the inside. 24:47 You need a strong prayer life because when the enemy comes 24:54 in like a flood, God will lift up a standard. 25:00 The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous 25:04 availeth much. 25:05 The effectiveness of our prayers is directly related to 25:08 the authenticity of our walk of faith. 25:12 Now, it's tough for a hypocrite to get God's ear. 25:19 If you look on in verse 16 of Job 13, it says, "He also 25:23 shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not 25:25 come before him." 25:27 Isaiah 59:2 says, "But your iniquities have separated 25:30 between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face 25:32 from you, that he will not hear." 25:34 John 9:31, "Now we know that God heareth not sinners: 25:36 but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, 25:38 him he heareth." 25:39 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, his ears 25:42 are not open to their prayers, but the face of the Lord 25:45 is against them that do evil. 25:46 He that turneth his way, his ear from hearing the law, 25:48 even his prayer shall be an abomination. 25:55 But Jesus said, in Matthew 7:7, but "Ask, and it shall 25:56 be given you; seek, and ye shall find. 26:03 >: The Breath of Life gift offer this week is 26:05 "Help in Daily Living," a practical guide 26:07 to everyday blessings by renown Christian author Ellen G.
