#S078 - “If It Ain't
Broke, Don't Fix It (Part 2)
00:00:04.43\00:00:09.64
Welcome to The Breath of Life
00:00:19.95\00:00:21.45
Television Ministries Broadcast
with Pastor Debleire Snell.
00:00:21.48\00:00:25.62
In today's episode,
Pastor Snell will continue part
00:00:25.65\00:00:29.29
two of the powerful message “If
It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It”
00:00:29.32\00:00:33.86
Now let's go deeper
into the word of God.
00:00:33.90\00:00:37.73
In other words, they
don't want to be in a posture
00:00:38.77\00:00:40.87
where they have
to be faithful to God
00:00:41.74\00:00:43.51
in order to be
under the cover rank.
00:00:44.37\00:00:46.21
They want a king
that is going to fight
00:00:46.24\00:00:48.38
regardless of how they act.
00:00:49.04\00:00:50.58
In other words, they want
to be able to chase bills.
00:00:50.61\00:00:53.31
They want to be able to lay with
the prostitutes, update God.
00:00:54.52\00:00:56.72
They want to be able
to turn up with Jezebel
00:00:57.65\00:00:59.95
and still know that
they are covered in some way.
00:01:01.12\00:01:03.83
Essentially they create a
continue and see a fail safe
00:01:04.99\00:01:07.96
so they can be
seen full and secure.
00:01:08.83\00:01:11.70
And in other words, church,
what they're trying to do
00:01:13.37\00:01:15.74
is to create a
parachute for their iniquity.
00:01:16.67\00:01:20.71
It is a seat belt for
their salacious behavior
00:01:21.74\00:01:24.75
in other words, God is wanting
to have something in place
00:01:25.95\00:01:29.05
in the event that
God does not come through
00:01:30.02\00:01:32.12
and say,
00:01:32.75\00:01:33.86
one of the things I need
somebody to understand today
00:01:33.89\00:01:36.02
is that you can never have
sin and safety at the same time.
00:01:37.26\00:01:40.96
Oh, God.
00:01:41.86\00:01:43.16
And in other words,
00:01:43.20\00:01:44.40
I need somebody to understand
that you can't have covering
00:01:44.43\00:01:48.44
without the
cover of the air here.
00:01:49.27\00:01:50.84
What I'm saying today and say
somebody needs to get to a place
00:01:50.87\00:01:54.38
where you remove all of
the artificial safeguards
00:01:55.38\00:01:57.85
and young people ultimately
put your trust in the Lord
00:01:59.01\00:02:01.55
Jesus Christ who has
promised to be a shield
00:02:01.58\00:02:04.52
and a buckler, your glory
and the lift of your head.
00:02:05.65\00:02:08.49
In other words, young person,
your safety won't be getting
00:02:09.72\00:02:12.96
a designated
driver after you get lit.
00:02:12.99\00:02:16.00
Your safety is
in letting God keep
00:02:16.83\00:02:19.03
you clothed in your right mind
at all times that you're safe.
00:02:19.07\00:02:23.41
The young lady is not
in the morning after pill.
00:02:23.44\00:02:26.71
Your safety is in trusting
God to keep you from falling.
00:02:27.91\00:02:31.28
Understand that your
safety is not necessarily
00:02:32.31\00:02:35.32
in a penicillin
shot at the clinic.
00:02:36.15\00:02:37.89
Your safety is in
trusting God to walk in purity.
00:02:38.95\00:02:42.69
Your safety is not any clear.
00:02:43.39\00:02:45.46
Your Internet history.
00:02:46.03\00:02:47.30
Your safety is
putting a seal over your eyes.
00:02:47.30\00:02:50.93
Your safety is
not in a good divorce.
00:02:51.80\00:02:54.44
Attorney.
00:02:54.47\00:02:55.44
Your safety is in
prioritizing your marriage.
00:02:55.47\00:02:58.81
Your safety has
to be in God there.
00:02:59.61\00:03:03.01
Are you all
hear what I'm saying?
00:03:04.61\00:03:06.48
And see, this is what
I need somebody to get.
00:03:06.51\00:03:08.18
See, I need to
get this about God.
00:03:08.22\00:03:09.58
God is not petty or punitive.
00:03:09.62\00:03:14.19
How many of us understand that?
00:03:14.22\00:03:15.92
God doesn't
punish you for saying
00:03:15.96\00:03:18.86
that sin brings
its own punishment?
00:03:19.69\00:03:23.23
Say God doesn't
destroy you for doing wrong,
00:03:23.26\00:03:26.53
but wrong brings its own destroy
my preach than anybody today.
00:03:27.77\00:03:31.54
And so I need you to know
00:03:32.17\00:03:33.34
that you will never be
able to have sin and safety
00:03:33.38\00:03:37.11
because you need to know
that shame is built into sin.
00:03:38.28\00:03:41.25
That guilt is
actually built into.
00:03:42.08\00:03:44.19
The truth is that
you will never be able
00:03:45.12\00:03:47.69
to take the
hangover out of drunkenness.
00:03:47.72\00:03:50.69
You will never be able
00:03:51.26\00:03:52.49
to take the paranoia out
of weed, use eye witness.
00:03:52.53\00:03:56.60
You'll never
00:03:56.63\00:03:57.73
be able to take the calories
out of cake and cookies.
00:03:57.77\00:04:01.54
You will never be able to take
the destruction out of voice.
00:04:01.57\00:04:05.51
You will never be able to
take the fear out of a life
00:04:06.64\00:04:09.48
of treating people long.
00:04:09.51\00:04:11.25
And what you got to learn
00:04:11.28\00:04:12.65
how to do is ultimately
put your trust in God.
00:04:12.68\00:04:17.25
I hear me today,
00:04:17.29\00:04:18.19
see God is not petty.
00:04:19.49\00:04:22.52
So even when we
deal with certain things
00:04:23.46\00:04:26.66
of unrighteousness,
that's not God punishing you.
00:04:26.70\00:04:30.97
It's built into iniquity.
00:04:31.00\00:04:33.20
But God Hallelujah is merciful
00:04:34.04\00:04:38.14
and abundant in grace,
00:04:38.71\00:04:40.84
and the word says
that He does not treat us
00:04:41.81\00:04:44.68
like we deserve.
00:04:45.61\00:04:48.05
So the Bible
says the wages of sin.
00:04:48.08\00:04:51.42
Y'all not hear me.
00:04:52.95\00:04:54.29
The wages of sin.
00:04:54.32\00:04:55.96
Is that so?
00:04:55.99\00:04:58.76
That if you got anything short
00:04:58.79\00:05:01.73
of death and eternal separation,
it means you're still working
00:05:02.96\00:05:07.90
under the Amazing Grace
of the Lord Jesus Christ?
00:05:09.00\00:05:12.74
Is there anybody thankful today
00:05:13.44\00:05:15.64
that God has not
given you what you deserve?
00:05:15.68\00:05:20.85
Are you grateful that God didn't
give you what you are owed?
00:05:20.88\00:05:25.95
Anybody paid for that God
00:05:26.59\00:05:28.92
grace the
salvation pass on a curve
00:05:28.96\00:05:32.53
and it
00:05:34.20\00:05:35.03
curves the penalty
so that it came to him.
00:05:35.06\00:05:38.40
And we can have newness of life.
00:05:39.10\00:05:41.07
I'm thankful
for His grace today.
00:05:41.87\00:05:44.54
I are here in the past.
00:05:46.11\00:05:50.55
The third thing, this
teacher stay with me church
00:05:50.58\00:05:55.52
is that you
shouldn't take every rejection
00:05:56.48\00:05:59.05
personal. You
00:05:59.09\00:06:03.76
know, don't take
every rejection personal.
00:06:05.66\00:06:08.00
A matter of fact, you ought
to celebrate some rejections
00:06:08.03\00:06:10.50
you case here today.
00:06:14.17\00:06:16.44
But about 12 alumni weekends
00:06:16.47\00:06:18.54
from now,
00:06:18.57\00:06:22.94
you're going to be
dancing all over the bon bon.
00:06:22.98\00:06:25.58
When you see how
unstable he is and how crazy.
00:06:26.55\00:06:31.62
I mean, let me state let me say,
00:06:31.65\00:06:36.36
if you can't take
every rejection person,
00:06:36.39\00:06:39.23
not for his again, I
need you to see the mercy
00:06:40.26\00:06:42.96
of God in this joint.
00:06:43.00\00:06:44.57
Like this is
insane that his people
00:06:44.60\00:06:47.57
wag their finger in
the face of the prophet
00:06:48.54\00:06:51.77
and say, Give us somebody
00:06:52.64\00:06:54.74
besides God to reach across.
00:06:54.78\00:06:58.15
And you would think that
streams of burning sulfur
00:06:59.18\00:07:03.79
and fire would
consume the entire people.
00:07:04.65\00:07:08.62
But notice
00:07:10.06\00:07:11.09
God's maturity
and His restraint.
00:07:11.13\00:07:15.20
He says, Listen,
Samuel, don't kill them.
00:07:15.23\00:07:17.50
Don't destroy them.
00:07:18.83\00:07:20.87
He says, Lord, he says,
Samuel, heed their voice.
00:07:20.90\00:07:24.77
He says, Give them
what they are asking for.
00:07:25.71\00:07:29.11
Don't fight for their approval.
00:07:29.81\00:07:32.38
All right.
00:07:32.75\00:07:34.45
Don't try to
maintain this union.
00:07:34.48\00:07:37.49
Let them have what
they're asking for.
00:07:38.32\00:07:41.22
And it's crazy because
essentially what he is telling
00:07:42.36\00:07:45.29
Samuel, he saying, Samuel,
get out of your feelings.
00:07:45.33\00:07:50.27
He said, Samuel,
pull yourself together
00:07:50.30\00:07:52.40
because this
rejection is not about
00:07:53.23\00:07:55.50
what you lack, it's
about what they lack.
00:07:55.54\00:07:58.94
Oh yea, y'all not hear me today.
00:07:58.97\00:08:01.01
In other words, what they do
is they gaslight toward Samuel.
00:08:01.04\00:08:03.91
They blame it on the fact
00:08:03.95\00:08:05.08
that his kids are
bringing you reproach,
00:08:05.11\00:08:07.12
that Samuel is too old,
but God is making it clear
00:08:08.22\00:08:11.19
that this is simply the straw
that broke the camel's back
00:08:12.42\00:08:15.49
because they didn't just
start rejecting me today.
00:08:16.59\00:08:19.76
They've been doing
it ever since they left
00:08:19.79\00:08:22.83
Egypt.
00:08:22.86\00:08:25.83
And Kim, this is crazy
because it shows us that
00:08:25.87\00:08:28.97
no circumstance makes us happy.
00:08:29.00\00:08:32.24
The only thing that makes us
happy is God, because we will.
00:08:33.48\00:08:38.58
Literally, this is the
insanity of God's people.
00:08:38.61\00:08:41.12
We will complain
about the very thing
00:08:41.98\00:08:44.19
we prayed for.
00:08:44.22\00:08:48.96
Am I lying?
00:08:48.99\00:08:50.53
Do they not pray?
00:08:50.56\00:08:52.56
Lord, get us out of Egypt.
00:08:52.59\00:08:55.63
And then for the
next 40 years they pray.
00:08:55.66\00:08:58.07
Lord, take us back to Egypt.
00:08:58.10\00:09:00.20
Are you out here
in the world today?
00:09:01.70\00:09:03.67
And so, Samuel, he's
making it very clear.
00:09:03.71\00:09:05.91
He's saying, Samuel,
don't fight for that position.
00:09:07.01\00:09:08.78
He's like, Samuel, don't
fight for that relationship.
00:09:10.38\00:09:13.05
He's like, Samuel, don't
fight to remain in this union.
00:09:14.22\00:09:16.72
He's saying, Samuel,
don't fight for this predicament
00:09:17.79\00:09:20.12
because the only
way they will learn
00:09:20.99\00:09:22.46
how good you've been to
them is they experience life
00:09:23.59\00:09:26.23
after you're gone.
00:09:26.26\00:09:27.20
Oh, y'all not hearing me today?
00:09:27.23\00:09:29.83
And can I give this
counsel to somebody today
00:09:30.87\00:09:32.50
that when something
goes left with a friend,
00:09:33.50\00:09:35.00
when something
goes left on a job,
00:09:35.84\00:09:37.17
when something goes
left with a situation ship,
00:09:38.14\00:09:39.94
when something goes left
and somebody unfriend you,
00:09:41.04\00:09:42.78
you need to take a moment for
personal introspection to see
00:09:44.05\00:09:46.98
what you've done to contribute
to the ruin of the relationship.
00:09:47.02\00:09:51.15
But the larger
idea I want to say, is,
00:09:52.05\00:09:54.69
don't make yourself
crazy trying to figure out
00:09:54.72\00:09:58.36
what's wrong with
you, because some rejection
00:09:58.39\00:10:01.76
is not about what you
lack, it's about what they want.
00:10:02.86\00:10:07.94
Okay? What do you mean?
00:10:07.97\00:10:09.67
Samuel had led them to
00:10:09.70\00:10:13.04
on precedented prosperity.
00:10:13.07\00:10:17.08
Like, literally,
it cannot get better
00:10:17.11\00:10:20.48
than what it is
under Samuel's rule.
00:10:21.35\00:10:23.45
But they have simply gotten
so bored and so used to it
00:10:24.62\00:10:27.39
that they want something
00:10:27.96\00:10:29.39
that they assume is better
simply because it's different.
00:10:29.42\00:10:33.16
Can I pause to say this?
00:10:34.46\00:10:35.66
This is where the
people of God always stray
00:10:35.70\00:10:38.27
when we allow the
world to become our model.
00:10:39.20\00:10:44.17
In other words,
00:10:44.21\00:10:45.27
you can't recognize how
good God has been in your life
00:10:45.31\00:10:48.38
because you're so busy looking
at what they got over there
00:10:49.61\00:10:52.11
and how they
moving in that situation.
00:10:52.15\00:10:54.18
Can I pause to say to Oakwood,
we ain't got to be jealous of
00:10:54.22\00:10:57.99
no state school,
no PWI, no m, no tech.
00:10:58.02\00:11:02.79
You ought to just thank God for
how he has blessed this place.
00:11:04.03\00:11:08.06
We've got something
through the Holy Ghost
00:11:09.03\00:11:11.13
that cannot be
replicated in any other place.
00:11:13.90\00:11:16.54
I hear what I'm saying today.
00:11:16.57\00:11:19.21
And so I need you to
know that some rejections are
00:11:20.31\00:11:21.08
not about what you lack.
00:11:21.11\00:11:22.94
Sometimes folk just want
something that ain't you.
00:11:22.98\00:11:28.32
So if you're a
minority working anywhere,
00:11:28.35\00:11:30.62
whether you're a female or
an African American on your job,
00:11:31.79\00:11:33.42
you realize that there's
00:11:33.99\00:11:35.09
going to be rejection on
your job, that some people
00:11:35.12\00:11:37.73
are going to want you
out of that, out of that job,
00:11:37.76\00:11:40.70
not because there's
something wrong with you,
00:11:41.70\00:11:43.50
but because there is bias
and bigotry operating inside
00:11:44.67\00:11:47.54
of them.
00:11:47.84\00:11:48.74
Leaders, I need you
to know that like Samuel,
00:11:48.77\00:11:51.44
it doesn't matter how
good you are as a leader,
00:11:51.47\00:11:54.34
they're going to be some folks
that always have a complaint
00:11:55.58\00:11:57.58
and a grumble and something
to be able to moan about.
00:11:58.75\00:12:01.78
In other words,
young sister, be clear
00:12:02.68\00:12:04.32
that sometimes
when he goes to you,
00:12:05.15\00:12:06.96
it's not about how
insufficient you are.
00:12:07.82\00:12:09.92
It's about how
unstable he actually is.
00:12:10.79\00:12:13.29
In other words, young
brother, remember that sometimes
00:12:14.46\00:12:17.13
nice guys finish last
00:12:17.17\00:12:19.33
because immature women
don't even know what a good man
00:12:19.37\00:12:22.50
looks like Dahmer
required in the other day.
00:12:22.54\00:12:24.64
In other words, I rebuke
any silly brought in here
00:12:25.74\00:12:28.91
talking about he too
nice he go to church too much.
00:12:30.05\00:12:32.78
That's the kind of talking
00:12:33.42\00:12:34.58
that's going to
00:12:34.62\00:12:35.82
have you in the emergency room
in a battered woman's house.
00:12:35.85\00:12:38.99
You better look for a
man that's on the dean's list
00:12:40.12\00:12:42.96
in the house of God.
00:12:43.49\00:12:44.83
Got on a pocket protector.
00:12:44.86\00:12:47.03
Stop looking at six
packs and worry about who's
00:12:47.03\00:12:50.73
going to make six
figures about him.
00:12:50.77\00:12:55.07
You better start looking
00:12:55.10\00:12:56.54
for the right things.
00:12:57.64\00:12:58.71
I hear what I'm saying.
00:12:58.74\00:13:03.24
Yeah.
00:13:03.28\00:13:11.42
And so God says,
00:13:11.45\00:13:14.42
Listen, this ain't
really about you, Samuel.
00:13:14.46\00:13:17.63
It's about the fact that
they want something different.
00:13:17.66\00:13:19.79
And so he's been.
00:13:20.70\00:13:21.50
Samuel No, the
best thing you can do
00:13:21.53\00:13:25.00
is just keep being great.
00:13:25.73\00:13:30.84
In other words, the only
way you can get revenge on them
00:13:30.87\00:13:33.98
is to keep being great.
00:13:34.54\00:13:36.18
Yeah. Yeah, I missed it.
00:13:36.21\00:13:38.08
In other words, Samuel,
00:13:38.11\00:13:39.18
they won't recognize
your value till Saul shows up
00:13:39.21\00:13:42.75
and see.
00:13:43.82\00:13:44.79
It's not till Saul
shows up and they realize
00:13:44.82\00:13:48.16
how good they had it.
00:13:48.19\00:13:50.09
They are now be like, Dang.
00:13:50.13\00:13:51.53
We should have
stayed with your boy.
00:13:51.56\00:13:53.96
Samuel.
00:13:54.00\00:13:55.13
Can I pause to say
sometimes times your revenge
00:13:55.16\00:13:58.33
is in their regret.
00:13:58.87\00:13:59.83
Y'all decried it the other day.
00:13:59.87\00:14:01.90
In other words,
keep being so great.
00:14:01.94\00:14:04.17
And your job being
so great in the church,
00:14:04.21\00:14:07.94
keep being so great as a
man or woman that your greatness
00:14:09.14\00:14:12.38
is going to make them regret
the day they unfriended you.
00:14:13.58\00:14:16.65
They'll regret the
day they go sit you down.
00:14:16.69\00:14:19.82
Regret that day they fired you.
00:14:19.85\00:14:22.06
They'll regret the day
they walked out on you.
00:14:23.02\00:14:24.99
You ain't got a slant for them.
00:14:25.69\00:14:27.23
You ain't got to blast them out.
00:14:27.30\00:14:29.40
You ain't got to
put them on blast.
00:14:29.43\00:14:31.63
Just keep being gray
00:14:31.67\00:14:34.00
and your great miss
00:14:35.97\00:14:37.57
will bring about a
revenge through their regrets.
00:14:37.61\00:14:40.91
Are y'all hear me?
00:14:41.78\00:14:42.41
They saints.
00:14:42.44\00:14:45.81
Last thing this teaches us and
hear me on this young people.
00:14:45.85\00:14:50.25
This story shows us that
00:14:51.29\00:14:53.99
voting matters.
00:14:54.02\00:14:58.39
Okay, let me say it again.
00:14:58.43\00:15:00.23
See, some of y'all
steal back all regret.
00:15:00.26\00:15:02.13
So stay with me.
00:15:02.16\00:15:03.57
This story teaches us
00:15:04.27\00:15:06.30
that voting matters.
00:15:06.84\00:15:11.24
Have you noticed
that God doesn't steer
00:15:12.17\00:15:16.61
the outcome of the government?
00:15:16.64\00:15:18.68
He allows the people
00:15:20.55\00:15:22.75
to have the
government they voted for.
00:15:23.65\00:15:26.52
Okay.
00:15:27.42\00:15:28.32
Oh, God.
00:15:29.26\00:15:30.29
Yeah.
00:15:30.59\00:15:31.39
Y'all still with
the pastor today?
00:15:31.43\00:15:33.26
Notice that God
must believe in democracy
00:15:33.29\00:15:37.93
because he yields to
the will of the people.
00:15:38.93\00:15:42.40
And what he's
makes it very clear on
00:15:43.87\00:15:45.94
there is a way
that I want you to go,
00:15:46.81\00:15:49.34
but he makes it clear I'm
going to let you live with
00:15:50.48\00:15:53.68
the immediate consequences of
whatever you vote for your own.
00:15:53.72\00:15:59.15
I not hear me today
00:15:59.19\00:16:00.46
and see there are some
of us that are of the belief
00:16:01.96\00:16:04.46
that I don't need to
vote because God is in control
00:16:05.59\00:16:08.36
of all things.
00:16:08.40\00:16:09.60
We believe that
we don't need to vote
00:16:09.63\00:16:11.63
because Providence
00:16:11.67\00:16:12.67
is going dictates
who rises and who falls.
00:16:12.70\00:16:15.67
But what this
story is teaching us
00:16:16.50\00:16:17.77
is that
sometimes we bend, blaming
00:16:17.81\00:16:19.94
some outcomes on Providence.
00:16:19.97\00:16:22.24
When God is saying, I
didn't choose that you did.
00:16:23.35\00:16:29.35
And let me be
clear, friends of mine
00:16:29.38\00:16:31.09
that I am not
Republican, am not Democrat,
00:16:31.12\00:16:34.12
because neither party represents
00:16:34.82\00:16:36.32
my convictions, my worldview
or my spiritual beliefs.
00:16:36.36\00:16:40.16
But I need somebody to
understand this principle
00:16:41.20\00:16:43.47
that prophecy
00:16:43.90\00:16:45.00
and providence is gonna
dictate the final outcomes, but
00:16:45.03\00:16:49.27
your vote is going to
dictate your immediate outcome.
00:16:49.30\00:16:53.24
Okay,
00:16:54.64\00:16:55.01
so notice
00:16:56.14\00:16:57.01
what God warns
them will be the result
00:16:57.05\00:17:00.12
of not choosing
government correctly.
00:17:00.98\00:17:03.49
He says, while I'm leading you
that everything is going to be
00:17:04.75\00:17:08.16
about the good of the
people and their well-being.
00:17:09.26\00:17:12.16
But he says, be
careful what you choose,
00:17:13.03\00:17:15.30
because if you choose the
wrong king, the wrong king
00:17:16.43\00:17:19.10
is going to make
everything about himself.
00:17:19.13\00:17:21.50
Okay.
00:17:23.57\00:17:24.04
So now here, in
other words, the lone king
00:17:25.01\00:17:27.71
is going to make
everything about him
00:17:28.61\00:17:30.68
and his wishes
and his preferences.
00:17:31.51\00:17:34.55
The wrong king is going to
put his name on everything, and
00:17:35.72\00:17:38.65
the wrong king is
going to worry about
00:17:39.49\00:17:42.16
crowd size more
than your well be.
00:17:42.19\00:17:44.43
Oh, y'all not
you're not hear me today.
00:17:44.46\00:17:47.10
He says you got to be
careful what you choose
00:17:48.90\00:17:52.80
because he says the wrong
king is going to take your sons
00:17:54.00\00:17:56.74
and your daughters and
enlist them in his army
00:17:56.77\00:18:00.24
to fight the battles
00:18:00.78\00:18:01.84
that are the result of his
petty grievances and beefs.
00:18:01.88\00:18:05.61
And he's going to
privatize the army
00:18:05.65\00:18:08.35
so that there will be war, not
just because there's an enemy,
00:18:09.62\00:18:12.95
but because war is good for
his economy and his business.
00:18:14.12\00:18:17.69
You better be
careful what you choose.
00:18:18.59\00:18:20.70
He's saying to us,
You got to be careful
00:18:21.60\00:18:23.70
what you choose
because the wrong king
00:18:24.60\00:18:26.67
is going to take from
your land and your field.
00:18:27.67\00:18:30.67
And he's going to give it to
his servants and his friends.
00:18:31.91\00:18:35.81
In other words,
00:18:35.84\00:18:36.95
the wrong king is going
to destroy the middle class
00:18:36.98\00:18:41.08
and make
00:18:42.08\00:18:42.75
sure the wealthiest 1% thrive.
00:18:42.78\00:18:45.65
You better be careful
what king you choose, okay?
00:18:46.76\00:18:50.46
He says.
00:18:50.93\00:18:51.53
Be careful what you choose
00:18:51.56\00:18:53.76
because the wrong one is
going to take your daughters
00:18:53.80\00:18:56.63
and he's going to make them
perfumers and bakers and cooks.
00:18:57.83\00:19:00.80
And notice what he say
00:19:01.37\00:19:02.70
that the wrong king is
going to develop a social caste
00:19:02.74\00:19:06.64
that says women can
only do two or three things.
00:19:07.64\00:19:10.45
So when I was king,
00:19:10.98\00:19:12.48
a woman could be judge like
Debra, but under the wrong king,
00:19:12.51\00:19:16.92
he's going to put
women in their place
00:19:17.75\00:19:19.22
and start messing with
their rights and make sure
00:19:20.26\00:19:22.42
they can't do nothing
but cook and clean and bake.
00:19:22.46\00:19:25.83
You better choose the right king
00:19:26.53\00:19:28.43
because he says the wrong one is
00:19:29.83\00:19:32.27
go take 10% of your sheep
00:19:32.30\00:19:35.90
and your goats and
your lives in your grain.
00:19:36.91\00:19:39.97
And he's going to
give it to his friends
00:19:40.91\00:19:42.24
and those that serve him.
00:19:42.88\00:19:44.18
The wrong king is
going to tax the masses
00:19:44.21\00:19:47.98
so that
00:19:49.28\00:19:50.19
the minority is
able to prosper from it.
00:19:50.22\00:19:53.92
And God is saying that
based on what you choose,
00:19:53.96\00:19:58.99
you going to live
with that outcome.
00:19:59.86\00:20:01.90
Are you hear what I'm saying?
00:20:02.60\00:20:04.37
You see,
00:20:04.40\00:20:05.37
there are times when
we run around and say,
00:20:05.40\00:20:06.40
we ain't got to vote
because God is in control.
00:20:06.43\00:20:08.50
I've got faith. I
don't have to do that.
00:20:09.37\00:20:10.74
But the faith friends
of mine is not participate
00:20:10.77\00:20:13.68
in the outcome.
00:20:14.11\00:20:15.08
Faith is trusting God
no matter the outcome.
00:20:15.11\00:20:21.48
And what some of
us are calling faith
00:20:21.52\00:20:25.15
is actually
apathy, where when we are
00:20:26.05\00:20:31.36
apathetic on the front end,
00:20:31.39\00:20:33.53
we wind up complaining because
we don't engage on the back end.
00:20:33.56\00:20:37.10
And so let's understand this.
00:20:37.80\00:20:39.03
First of all, like one, right?
00:20:39.07\00:20:40.24
It says, if you are not at
the table, you're on the menu.
00:20:40.27\00:20:46.51
You are here with
the pastor saying today.
00:20:46.54\00:20:48.94
And what I'm saying
to somebody say, man, no,
00:20:48.98\00:20:50.65
I got to just wait, man,
and let the providence of God
00:20:50.68\00:20:53.18
work up, understand, God says,
and then you seven that he's
00:20:54.42\00:20:56.85
going to determine and dictate
what happens in the very end.
00:20:56.89\00:21:01.52
But guess what God is saying?
00:21:02.22\00:21:03.32
I'm going to let
you choose the results
00:21:03.36\00:21:06.29
and the
consequences of your choice.
00:21:07.13\00:21:08.56
Right now, in the immediate
00:21:08.60\00:21:10.20
sense,
00:21:11.43\00:21:12.33
I need to wake up
this younger generation
00:21:12.37\00:21:14.27
who is running around
here, not understanding
00:21:15.40\00:21:18.01
a historical context of where
we have come from as a people.
00:21:18.04\00:21:22.71
Can anybody testify
that God has brought us
00:21:23.65\00:21:25.58
a mighty, mighty,
00:21:26.08\00:21:28.18
mighty, mighty,
mighty, mighty long way
00:21:29.05\00:21:31.49
that that God has put certain
liberties and freedoms in place,
00:21:32.72\00:21:35.79
and he has turned
the scales of injustice
00:21:36.69\00:21:38.59
so that they are a
little bit more even.
00:21:39.53\00:21:40.90
But you cannot give up those
rights through indifference.
00:21:42.06\00:21:44.40
You've got to continue
to trust God to the end,
00:21:44.43\00:21:48.67
and you've got to
occupy until he comes.
00:21:49.54\00:21:54.81
So God says, I'm going to
leave the immediate outcomes
00:21:54.84\00:21:58.88
in your hands,
but this is our shout.
00:21:58.91\00:22:03.89
The final outcomes.
00:22:03.92\00:22:07.96
Let me say it again.
00:22:07.99\00:22:09.42
The immediate outcomes
will be what you choose.
00:22:09.46\00:22:12.53
The final outcomes
will be what he chooses.
00:22:13.50\00:22:17.20
See, that's what I love.
00:22:17.23\00:22:18.60
Daniel Chapter two,
where Nebuchadnezzar
00:22:18.63\00:22:21.64
is given a vision and
the vision is of an image.
00:22:21.67\00:22:25.17
It has a hand of
gold, it has chests
00:22:26.04\00:22:28.61
and arms of silver, it has
belly and thighs, a bronze.
00:22:28.64\00:22:32.65
The legs are made of
iron and the feet are made
00:22:33.72\00:22:36.48
of iron and clay.
00:22:36.52\00:22:37.92
And when Daniel
interprets the vision,
00:22:37.95\00:22:40.22
he makes it clear
that these metals represent
00:22:41.22\00:22:43.79
the major kingdoms
in Earth's history.
00:22:44.69\00:22:46.03
And he says that you all
king represent the head of gold,
00:22:47.23\00:22:49.96
which is Babylon.
00:22:50.00\00:22:51.47
And after you, the
chests and arms of silver
00:22:51.50\00:22:54.40
will represent the
meets and the Persians.
00:22:55.30\00:22:57.14
The belly and thighs of bronze
will represent the Greek kingdom
00:22:58.37\00:23:01.04
that will be temporary.
00:23:01.08\00:23:02.48
The legs of iron
will represent the pool
00:23:02.51\00:23:06.28
of the government of Rome
and the feet of iron and k
00:23:07.42\00:23:10.15
represent the
emerging provinces of Europe.
00:23:11.05\00:23:13.46
And the countries
that flow out of them
00:23:14.39\00:23:15.69
include the United States.
00:23:15.72\00:23:17.73
But the great part of the vision
00:23:17.76\00:23:19.96
is that even
though he sees an image,
00:23:20.00\00:23:22.03
the Bible says
that there is a lack
00:23:22.90\00:23:25.10
o cut out of the mountain
00:23:26.07\00:23:28.34
without hands and it
comes and smashes the image.
00:23:29.40\00:23:33.58
And the bits of the image
are blown away like chaff.
00:23:34.71\00:23:37.31
And the Bible
says that the stone
00:23:38.11\00:23:40.88
settles in the earth and
it grows greater and greater,
00:23:40.92\00:23:44.32
and it represents God's kingdom
00:23:45.02\00:23:47.16
that's going to be
established and it has no end.
00:23:48.22\00:23:51.39
Is there anybody thankful
today that at some point
00:23:52.43\00:23:55.80
every earthly kingdom is
gone and every earthly power
00:23:56.97\00:24:01.14
has an expiration date?
00:24:01.70\00:24:03.37
The reason you ought to shout
is because he that shall come,
00:24:03.41\00:24:07.78
will come and he will not carry
00:24:08.48\00:24:11.71
anybody looking for a city
00:24:12.35\00:24:14.35
whose builder and maker is God?
00:24:15.22\00:24:17.55
Anybody looking for a king
00:24:18.35\00:24:20.92
that does not have term limits?
00:24:20.96\00:24:23.32
You're looking for a king
00:24:23.96\00:24:25.86
that has no predecessor,
that can't be voted out.
00:24:25.89\00:24:30.20
He has no rival.
00:24:30.80\00:24:32.87
He has no peer,
he has no nemesis.
00:24:32.90\00:24:36.94
He has no ally.
00:24:37.37\00:24:39.51
He's not
dependent on foreign oil.
00:24:39.54\00:24:41.81
He is God ordered by himself
00:24:42.48\00:24:45.15
and beside him there is no other
00:24:46.61\00:24:50.42
and look forward to
being in my father's house.
00:24:51.45\00:24:55.29
But the Bible says in
my father's house and many
00:24:56.36\00:24:59.36
mansions.
00:24:59.39\00:25:00.60
If it were not so,
I would have told you.
00:25:00.63\00:25:02.76
I go to prepare a
place that where I am
00:25:03.63\00:25:06.90
there you may be all stop
and somebody saying, Pastor,
00:25:08.07\00:25:10.94
how good is it?
00:25:10.97\00:25:12.51
I can't even tell you.
00:25:12.54\00:25:14.54
Why can't I tell you?
00:25:14.58\00:25:16.48
Because I have nothing.
00:25:16.51\00:25:18.51
It's have not heard
00:25:20.08\00:25:22.52
and neither has entered
into the heart of any man
00:25:22.55\00:25:26.39
that which God has
prepared for a soldier.
00:25:27.36\00:25:30.46
So we've got
00:25:30.86\00:25:32.06
an active part on telecoms, but
this is where I want to leave
00:25:32.09\00:25:35.46
you lift up the trumpet
00:25:35.50\00:25:37.60
and loud, let it rain
00:25:38.60\00:25:41.04
But Jesus is coming again
00:25:41.07\00:25:43.54
Cheer up, ye pilgrims be joyful
00:25:44.24\00:25:47.71
and see Because Jesus,
00:25:47.74\00:25:50.98
I said, Jesus, I said My Jesus,
00:25:51.68\00:25:56.02
I said, you're Jesus.
00:25:56.58\00:25:58.59
I said, our
Jesus, the king of kings,
00:25:59.45\00:26:03.59
the Lord of Lords,
the lily of the valley,
00:26:03.63\00:26:07.50
the rose of sharing
the everlasting father,
00:26:08.40\00:26:12.17
the prince of
peace, the mighty God.
00:26:13.03\00:26:16.64
