00:00:47.84\00:00:52.11

and he is also an evangelist
at heart. He is a preacher.
00:01:03.99\00:01:08.26
He is a teacher and he is
a sweet singer in Israel. And
00:01:08.26\00:01:13.20
then
00:01:13.20\00:01:14.67
in addition to all of that,

00:08:45.49\00:08:47.92

00:08:52.83\00:08:56.73
I praise the Lord. Well, before
we go any further, what should
00:08:56.73\00:09:00.44
we do?
00:09:00.44\00:09:01.94
We always invite the Holy

00:09:01.94\00:09:04.44
father in heaven.
00:09:04.44\00:09:07.48
Praise be to you, Lord.
00:09:07.48\00:09:09.78
Thank you. God for this
wonderful can't meeting we've
00:09:09.78\00:09:11.95
had so far.
00:09:11.95\00:09:13.72
You have showed up and, you
know, bless tremendously Lord.
00:09:13.72\00:09:16.35
We thank you.
00:09:16.35\00:09:18.32
The low. Now as we take on
00:09:18.32\00:09:20.79
very sensitive topic,
00:09:20.79\00:09:23.93
we're talking about
00:09:23.93\00:09:25.69
the power that you provide us
00:09:25.69\00:09:28.73
to endure trials,
00:09:28.73\00:09:32.27
lord, sometimes we
don't understand these trials.
00:09:32.27\00:09:34.67
We don't understand the
nature of these trials, his
00:09:34.67\00:09:36.91
tribulations,
00:09:36.91\00:09:39.21
but I pray God that you will
bring clarity during this hour.
00:09:39.21\00:09:42.88
You will speak through me,
lord, and that every word every
00:09:42.88\00:09:45.88
thought every action
will be that of yours.
00:09:45.88\00:09:48.65
And every single person here at
camp meeting of those from all
00:09:48.65\00:09:51.39
around the world will hear
00:09:51.39\00:09:53.66
the special message.
They being blessed that we all
00:09:53.66\00:09:57.63
drawn closer to Jesus. We ask
00:09:57.63\00:10:00.16
and Jesus holy
name in them and them
00:10:00.16\00:10:04.57
power to undo or
00:10:04.57\00:10:07.07

One is naming their kid
that anytime soon are they?
00:10:15.41\00:10:20.22
But nonetheless Keane,
Jay Haas a fat of Judah.
00:10:20.22\00:10:25.62
>> He was a man that
wasn't perfect. He did make some
00:10:25.62\00:10:28.62
mistakes.
00:10:28.62\00:10:30.79
By the time you get to the 19th
chapter of this. The book of
00:10:30.79\00:10:34.46
Second Chronicles,
00:10:34.46\00:10:36.53
you see that Hossa fat has been
convicted by the spirit of the
00:10:36.53\00:10:41.04
Lord.
00:10:41.04\00:10:42.64
He has begun ordering the tear
down the projects of all of the
00:10:42.64\00:10:48.48
idols in the images
throughout all of June.
00:10:48.48\00:10:52.71
And Joe Hoss of Fat has begun
now all putting Israel on a
00:10:52.71\00:10:57.29
path of revival
00:10:57.29\00:11:00.09
he has been putting is real
on a path, pointing them back to
00:11:00.09\00:11:04.03
the Lord. He has set. His
leaders even has put out and
00:11:04.03\00:11:07.76
said judges threw out
all the cities of Judah
00:11:07.76\00:11:12.47
and we will learn that
many times in the Bible. We see
00:11:12.47\00:11:15.24
revival and the return of the
people to God in the midst of
00:11:15.24\00:11:20.44
crisis
00:11:20.44\00:11:22.91
in often in
situations that man cannot fix.
00:11:22.91\00:11:29.38
We find ourselves in
Second chronicles chapter 20.
00:11:29.38\00:11:32.69
We're going to begin with
verses one through 3. Notice
00:11:32.69\00:11:35.59
what the Bible says.
00:11:35.59\00:11:37.96
It says it happened after this
that the people of Moab with
00:11:37.96\00:11:41.36
the people of M A and
others with them. Besides the
00:11:41.36\00:11:44.53
ammonites
00:11:44.53\00:11:45.97
came to battle
against Josh, the fat,
00:11:45.97\00:11:49.70
then some came and told
the hospital saying a great
00:11:49.70\00:11:52.51
multitude is coming
against you from beyond the sea.
00:11:52.51\00:11:57.51
Hossa fed fears
00:11:57.51\00:11:59.31
and set himself to seek
the Lord proclaimed a fast
00:11:59.31\00:12:03.12
throughout all Judah.
00:12:03.12\00:12:05.79
This is so Judah gather
together to ask help from the
00:12:05.79\00:12:08.76
Lord.
00:12:08.76\00:12:10.13
And from all the cities
of Judah, they came to see
00:12:10.13\00:12:14.46
the Lord
00:12:14.46\00:12:16.97
you see crisis
00:12:16.97\00:12:19.00
well often burst, forth, fear.
00:12:19.00\00:12:23.27
It will bring out
your insecurities.
00:12:23.27\00:12:26.61
It will sometimes
even bring traumas
00:12:26.61\00:12:30.01
and sometimes terrors that will
linger with us for some time.
00:12:30.01\00:12:36.32
But in this particular
situation, by the time you get
00:12:36.32\00:12:38.69
to verse 12,
00:12:38.69\00:12:40.42
you see the very nature of
the situation. John Ossof at has
00:12:40.42\00:12:44.06
his enemies closing in on
him. And he notes that there is
00:12:44.06\00:12:48.66
nothing that he or the children
of Israel can do. They are
00:12:48.66\00:12:51.73
stuck
00:12:51.73\00:12:52.93
and they're in a situation in
which they cannot fix. In fact,
00:12:52.93\00:12:56.00
notice first, 12 0nd chronicles
chapter 20 and verse 12 notice
00:12:56.00\00:12:59.61
that the Bible says and this
is Josh, the fat speaking, the
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.64
people of God speaking and got
are speaking out to him and it
00:13:02.64\00:13:05.28
says are gone. Will you not
judge them? So they're pointing
00:13:05.28\00:13:08.65
at the enemies and what are
you not going to bring judgment
00:13:08.65\00:13:11.12
against these people for?
We have no power against this
00:13:11.12\00:13:14.96
great multitude that is coming
against us. Nor do we know what
00:13:14.96\00:13:20.56
to do.
00:13:20.56\00:13:22.50
Never been in this situation.
00:13:22.50\00:13:24.87
You ever been in a crisis in
your life where you have been
00:13:24.87\00:13:27.07
brought to a situation in which
you are in a crisis and you do
00:13:27.07\00:13:30.87
not know what to do.
00:13:30.87\00:13:34.08
You feel a sense of
powerlessness and there's
00:13:34.08\00:13:38.68
nothing you can do
to change the situation.
00:13:38.68\00:13:42.12
Fear and insecurity is not
president. If it's something
00:13:42.12\00:13:47.52
that, you know, you can change
bring remedy to if you know
00:13:47.52\00:13:51.76
that there's something you
can do about it. Those fears,
00:13:51.76\00:13:55.00
those anxieties, those
insecurities, they're not there
00:13:55.00\00:13:58.83
because, well, we might
just have an answer for this.
00:13:58.83\00:14:02.77
But the moment you realize you
are totally powerless and have
00:14:02.77\00:14:07.18
no solution,
00:14:07.18\00:14:08.71
then comes the feet.
00:14:08.71\00:14:10.81
Then comes the anxiety,
00:14:10.81\00:14:12.68
the insecurities and often
00:14:12.68\00:14:15.62
we do go on to read the story
and know that by the time you
00:14:18.95\00:14:22.02
get to verse 17, the people
of God have already cried out to
00:14:22.02\00:14:26.19
the lower. They said, well,
we have we have nothing to add.
00:14:26.19\00:14:29.23
The situation is nothing we
can do. God response. He speaks
00:14:29.23\00:14:32.87
through his his his prophet and
the prophet gives the message
00:14:32.87\00:14:36.50
to the children of his one 11
for 17 because got provides the
00:14:36.50\00:14:39.54
answer for this particular
situation. They didn't know
00:14:39.54\00:14:42.44
what to do. They didn't have an
answer but got says this isn't
00:14:42.44\00:14:45.11
your battle.
00:14:45.11\00:14:48.02
You're not to fight just that.
00:14:48.02\00:14:51.02
In fact, here's the words
he used. He just he said this
00:14:51.02\00:14:54.29
position yourselves.
00:14:54.29\00:14:56.73
You see oftentimes we
find ourselves in trials and
00:14:56.73\00:15:00.46
tribulations in crisis
situations. And oftentimes what
00:15:00.46\00:15:05.00
we must do is have faith in the
lord and position ourselves as
00:15:05.00\00:15:09.44
got says. And then he gives us
the word ISIS stand and observe
00:15:09.44\00:15:14.01
and watch the
salvation of the lower.
00:15:14.01\00:15:19.68
But of course,
00:15:19.68\00:15:21.28
this was not the case for
the disciples in March after 4.
00:15:21.28\00:15:28.49
When we get over to my chapter
4, we read about a very scary
00:15:28.49\00:15:32.79
crisis that the
disciples found themselves in.
00:15:32.79\00:15:37.20
We're going to pick up in March
after 4 beginning with verse.
00:15:37.20\00:15:39.50
33 34 just to set the
foundation year versus 33
00:15:39.50\00:15:43.47
$0.34. And with many such
parables, he spoke the word to
00:15:43.47\00:15:47.61
them as they were able to
hear it. But without a parable,
00:15:47.61\00:15:50.71
he did not speak to them.
00:15:50.71\00:15:52.51
And when they were alone,
he explained all things to his
00:15:52.51\00:15:56.58
disciples. Now, if you read
the 4th chapter of Matthew, you,
00:15:56.58\00:16:00.06
if I should be the 4th chapter
of market will find the Jesus
00:16:00.06\00:16:03.36
has been preaching. He's been
declaring the gospel. He's been
00:16:03.36\00:16:06.59
speaking all day to the
multitudes and he's been doing
00:16:06.59\00:16:08.93
this in the form of parables,
OK, Jesus often did this.
00:16:08.93\00:16:12.00
He would he would use these
little short stories that often
00:16:12.00\00:16:15.10
declare tot some type of moral
lesson and he would use these
00:16:15.10\00:16:18.51
parables to declare or 2 like
in the Kingdom of God or help
00:16:18.51\00:16:22.18
to make the Kingdom of God
and God's will clearer to the
00:16:22.18\00:16:25.45
children of Israel. And so
that's what he's been doing all
00:16:25.45\00:16:28.05
day long. But now the sun
is starting to 6. The day is
00:16:28.05\00:16:31.95
coming to an end and notice
what we find their inverse.
00:16:31.95\00:16:35.39
35 of our chapter for reading
verse. 35 36. It says on the
00:16:35.39\00:16:40.63
same day
00:16:40.63\00:16:42.00
when evening had
come, he said to them,
00:16:42.00\00:16:45.27
let us cross over
to the other side.
00:16:45.27\00:16:48.24
Now, when they had left the
multitude, they took him along
00:16:48.24\00:16:51.07
the boat as he was
00:16:51.07\00:16:53.58
and other little boats were
also with the month. Many times
00:16:53.58\00:16:57.11
did not miss that point
that this wasn't just one vote.
00:16:57.11\00:16:59.21
This was a a multitude of
boats, little small boats with
00:16:59.21\00:17:01.85
them. So there was many of the
disciples with them. But notice
00:17:01.85\00:17:05.79
here just want to
bring this out very clearly
00:17:05.79\00:17:08.02
in this particular situation is
a few things that we can glean
00:17:08.02\00:17:10.83
from the story in
from this passage,
00:17:10.83\00:17:13.66
the disciples
00:17:13.66\00:17:15.90
we're in, the will of God
00:17:15.90\00:17:20.54
we catch, you know, you with me
00:17:20.54\00:17:22.40
in this story so far
prior to this issue, re,
00:17:22.40\00:17:26.04
there's nothing that
gives us any indication
00:17:26.04\00:17:28.94
that they were disobedient.
They had kept all of God's
00:17:28.94\00:17:32.01
commands up to this point.
They were obedient to what
00:17:32.01\00:17:34.48
crushed and told them to do.
They were living in the will of
00:17:34.48\00:17:38.49
GAAP. Okay. And not only were
they living in the will of God,
00:17:38.49\00:17:43.09
but Jesus is in
the boat with them.
00:17:43.09\00:17:47.20
We do together on this,
OK, let's approach this story,
00:17:47.20\00:17:50.20
perhaps maybe and look at it
through a lens that we haven't
00:17:50.20\00:17:52.90
seen before. Because many times
we use this story, we've heard
00:17:52.90\00:17:55.90
the story may be our primary
classes or maybe in our youth
00:17:55.90\00:17:58.97
classes, a story that we tell
our kids and we might animated
00:17:58.97\00:18:02.91
and we might be a little
charismatic. We tell them that
00:18:02.91\00:18:05.41
we see it kind of like a small
little children story that we
00:18:05.41\00:18:08.18
tell them to encourage them
that Jesus is in control of all
00:18:08.18\00:18:11.42
things. And all of those things
are true. But let's put on a
00:18:11.42\00:18:13.76
different lands, OK? And let's
look at it a little differently
00:18:13.76\00:18:16.73
here.
00:18:16.73\00:18:18.53
They're in the will of God.
Jesus is in the boat with them.
00:18:18.53\00:18:24.17
But there's a problem.
00:18:24.17\00:18:26.57
We pick up a reading in verse
37 notice that the Bible says
00:18:26.57\00:18:30.94
and a great wind storm or oats
00:18:30.94\00:18:34.21
and the waves beat into
the boat so that it was already
00:18:34.21\00:18:36.95
filling.
00:18:36.95\00:18:38.85
But he was in the stern
00:18:38.85\00:18:41.02
sleep
00:18:41.02\00:18:42.92
on a pillow. I've never
understood this part of the
00:18:42.92\00:18:45.72
story. I have to be honest.
00:18:45.72\00:18:47.52
I still to this day read
this and I say how in the world
00:18:47.52\00:18:51.69
was this brother
00:18:51.69\00:18:53.60
asleep
00:18:53.60\00:18:54.73
in the start of this boat
00:18:54.73\00:18:57.00
when this powerful
wind storm came up.
00:18:57.00\00:19:01.37
But that's what it
says. He was asleep
00:19:01.37\00:19:04.34
on a pillow
00:19:04.34\00:19:06.17
and notice it
says and they woke him
00:19:06.17\00:19:09.61
and said to him.
00:19:09.61\00:19:12.35
>> Do you not care?
00:19:12.35\00:19:14.25
The we're passion
00:19:14.25\00:19:17.05
verse. 39 then heroes and
review the win and said to the
00:19:17.05\00:19:20.22
sea, peace be still
00:19:20.22\00:19:23.93
and the wind ceased
and it was a great call.
00:19:23.93\00:19:29.10
But he said to them,
00:19:29.10\00:19:31.23
why are you so fearful
00:19:31.23\00:19:35.60
that you have no faith
00:19:35.60\00:19:39.61
and they feared exceedingly
and set to one another?
00:19:39.61\00:19:43.81
Who can this be
00:19:43.81\00:19:46.41
that even the wind
00:19:46.41\00:19:48.65
and the sea
00:19:48.65\00:19:50.62
obey him
00:19:50.62\00:19:52.49
even
00:19:56.83\00:19:58.19
in the will of God.
00:19:58.19\00:20:01.10
It rains.
00:20:01.10\00:20:04.37
If you want to
tweet something tweet that
00:20:04.37\00:20:06.80
even
00:20:06.80\00:20:08.30
in the will of God,
00:20:08.30\00:20:10.81
the rains come.
00:20:10.81\00:20:13.71
>> The trials of this life are
often merciless. It comes down
00:20:13.71\00:20:18.45
upon us and oftentimes
it merely consumes a summit.
00:20:18.45\00:20:21.82
Do I have a witness in here?
00:20:21.82\00:20:23.62
I'm talking about situations
where it's so overwhelming.
00:20:23.62\00:20:27.22
Has anyone ever been in a
situation where you felt like
00:20:27.22\00:20:30.26
you were just going to drown in
the crisis or in the trial and
00:20:30.26\00:20:33.43
tribulation you're
going through? It was just
00:20:33.43\00:20:35.33
overwhelming to you and
you didn't know what to do.
00:20:35.33\00:20:39.40
Well, this is what the
disciples are going through at
00:20:39.40\00:20:41.30
this moment.
00:20:41.30\00:20:43.57
Let's see what we have to
understand. As we take a deeper
00:20:43.57\00:20:45.77
look at the store. We find that
actually this storm situation
00:20:45.77\00:20:50.85
is threefold.
00:20:50.85\00:20:52.51
There are actually 3 storms
that they're facing. What then
00:20:52.51\00:20:56.65
this one storm,
00:20:56.65\00:20:59.19
you see the first storm.
00:20:59.19\00:21:01.42
It's a circumstantial storm
in which they could exercise no
00:21:01.42\00:21:06.29
control.
00:21:06.29\00:21:08.43
They can't control the
when they can't control the sea.
00:21:08.43\00:21:12.20
They can't control the rain.
They it's totally out of their
00:21:12.20\00:21:16.77
control. And this goes to show
us that you can be in the will
00:21:16.77\00:21:20.88
of God and a storm and be able
to do absolutely nothing about
00:21:20.88\00:21:25.48
it.
00:21:25.48\00:21:27.92
So that's the first storm
within the storm that they're
00:21:27.92\00:21:31.35
facing.
00:21:31.35\00:21:32.45
They're totally
00:21:32.45\00:21:34.36
out of control in the sense
that they have no control over
00:21:34.36\00:21:38.79
the circumstance.
00:21:38.79\00:21:41.03
Number 2, this
is the second storm.
00:21:41.03\00:21:43.63
You might call it
an emotional story.
00:21:43.63\00:21:47.54
These brothers a terrified
00:21:47.54\00:21:50.44
they're experiencing quite
a storm in and of itself of
00:21:50.44\00:21:54.94
emotional instability. And
you know this to be the case
00:21:54.94\00:21:58.65
because in verse 40,
would Jesus say to them?
00:21:58.65\00:22:01.72
He said, why are you so fearful?
00:22:01.72\00:22:06.09
You see storms well often
come into your life and it will
00:22:06.09\00:22:10.29
immediately sparked
some type of emotion
00:22:10.29\00:22:15.23
and that matter whatever type
of storm that you're dealing
00:22:15.23\00:22:17.37
with in your life, it doesn't
matter what type of trial or
00:22:17.37\00:22:19.63
tribulation it could be
that you're scared about that
00:22:19.63\00:22:22.04
doctors report. You just got
it could be that you're scared
00:22:22.04\00:22:24.91
about that financial struggle
that you're going through.
00:22:24.91\00:22:27.64
You could be a little fearful
about the direction of the
00:22:27.64\00:22:30.28
relationship that you're
involved in. I'm talking about
00:22:30.28\00:22:33.18
something so deep, so
devastating, so vast that you
00:22:33.18\00:22:37.85
cannot control it. And it
brings about a storm of emotion
00:22:37.85\00:22:42.89
within you, but
you cannot control.
00:22:42.89\00:22:47.23
But then there's a 3rd storm
and you might call this one
00:22:47.23\00:22:50.30
a theological storm
00:22:50.30\00:22:53.17
or maybe a spiritual.
00:22:53.17\00:22:58.47
We know this to be the
case because notice what
00:22:58.47\00:23:02.94
they say that Jesus inverse. 38,
00:23:02.94\00:23:06.35
what are they saying?
00:23:06.35\00:23:09.92
Do you not
00:23:09.92\00:23:12.79
that we are perishing.
00:23:15.92\00:23:17.99
You see these
brothers start questioning
00:23:22.16\00:23:26.30
what they have been believing
all this time and whether or
00:23:26.30\00:23:29.20
not it's even true.
00:23:29.20\00:23:33.01
They start questioning
00:23:33.01\00:23:36.11
the word of God.
00:23:36.11\00:23:38.81
There are even questioning
00:23:38.81\00:23:40.85
the character of Scott.
00:23:40.85\00:23:45.89
They're thinking probably
within themselves in this
00:23:45.89\00:23:48.66
situation.
00:23:48.66\00:23:51.83
What I'm hearing about you
00:23:51.83\00:23:54.60
and what I'm experiencing
00:23:54.60\00:23:57.43
and they're not matching up.
00:23:57.43\00:24:00.27
I hear what the pastor preaches
in and says about you on
00:24:00.27\00:24:03.87
Sabbath.
00:24:03.87\00:24:06.04
But what I'm going
through in my life and what I'm
00:24:06.04\00:24:08.51
experiencing,
00:24:08.51\00:24:10.68
it's it's not matching up
on. I'm experiencing 2 different
00:24:10.68\00:24:14.42
realities.
00:24:14.42\00:24:16.42
In other words, I don't know
00:24:16.42\00:24:19.02
if I can believe this
00:24:19.02\00:24:22.29
anymore.
00:24:22.29\00:24:25.86
Often times more in a crisis.
We're going through a trial or
00:24:25.86\00:24:29.53
tribulation, depending on
the intensity, depending on the
00:24:29.53\00:24:32.27
nature of that tribulation,
we might be led to ask questions
00:24:32.27\00:24:36.34
like, where are you or
00:24:36.34\00:24:39.44
or in the aftermath,
where were you? Lorne
00:24:39.44\00:24:45.95
Lord, you don't care about me
00:24:45.95\00:24:49.42
because if you cared about me,
00:24:49.42\00:24:52.49
I wouldn't be
00:24:52.49\00:24:54.79
going
00:24:54.79\00:24:56.12
through this
00:24:56.12\00:24:59.09
or do you not care
00:24:59.09\00:25:01.63
that we are perishing?
00:25:01.63\00:25:05.33
And so what do they do?
00:25:05.33\00:25:07.14
They wake Jesus up
00:25:07.14\00:25:11.01
our chapter 4 verse. 39
40. Let's look at it again.
00:25:11.01\00:25:15.04
Then he rolls and rebuked
the wind and sent to the sea.
00:25:15.04\00:25:18.08
Peace be still and the wind
ceased and there was a great
00:25:18.08\00:25:20.98
calm. But he said to
them, why are you so fearful?
00:25:20.98\00:25:25.59
How is it that you have
00:25:25.59\00:25:27.79
no faith?
00:25:27.79\00:25:30.86
How is it that we know? I don't
know Jesus, maybe because I'm
00:25:30.86\00:25:35.73
getting ready to die.
00:25:35.73\00:25:36.77
[MUSIC]
00:25:36.77\00:25:42.90
You see there
completely overwhelmed by the
00:25:42.90\00:25:46.01
circumstances in this situation.
00:25:46.01\00:25:50.18
But keep in mind
00:25:50.18\00:25:52.15
what Jesus told them at
the beginning of this whole
00:25:52.15\00:25:54.25
experience that
they're forgetting about
00:25:54.25\00:25:57.59
Mark Chapter 4 verse. 35,
what is he saying first, 35
00:25:57.59\00:26:02.59
let
00:26:02.59\00:26:03.93
us
00:26:03.93\00:26:06.80
crossover
00:26:06.80\00:26:09.20
to the other side.
00:26:09.20\00:26:11.27
It is like, oh, I see,
OK, so in the beginning.
00:26:11.27\00:26:15.47
>> In the beginning, you're
all excited, shouting, you know,
00:26:15.47\00:26:18.64
worked up because you get to
get in the boat with me and go
00:26:18.64\00:26:21.71
to the other side. But when
the circumstances show up, they
00:26:21.71\00:26:26.01
overrode what I said.
00:26:26.01\00:26:29.15
Your problem over rolled my
promise and now you're living
00:26:29.15\00:26:34.66
in the light of the problem and
no longer living in the light
00:26:34.66\00:26:38.49
of my promise.
00:26:38.49\00:26:40.73
He's got a little smug about
this got doesn't necessarily
00:26:40.73\00:26:43.57
want you to deny a circumstance
or to deny your situation a
00:26:43.57\00:26:47.67
storm of the storm, right?
And it's OK to acknowledge that
00:26:47.67\00:26:51.47
you're going through a storm.
It's OK to acknowledge the
00:26:51.47\00:26:54.34
reality that you're going
through a crisis that you're
00:26:54.34\00:26:57.95
going through a deep and dark
despairing time, a discouraging
00:26:57.95\00:27:02.48
deep dot tribulation or some
type of circumstances arose in
00:27:02.48\00:27:06.52
your lot. What God doesn't want
you to do as he doesn't want
00:27:06.52\00:27:09.72
you to allow your
circumstance to Trump his word.
00:27:09.72\00:27:16.73
>> And it says our
chapter 4 verse 41.
00:27:16.73\00:27:20.30
>> And they feared
00:27:20.30\00:27:22.30
exceedingly
00:27:22.30\00:27:24.94
and said to one another.
00:27:24.94\00:27:29.54
Can this be
00:27:29.54\00:27:32.25
that even the wind and the sea
00:27:32.25\00:27:36.69
obey him?
00:27:36.69\00:27:39.25
You see the
disciples were on a journey
00:27:39.25\00:27:42.86
of discovery,
00:27:42.86\00:27:46.19
the trials.
00:27:46.19\00:27:47.83
>> The tribulations,
the hardships of the slot as
00:27:47.83\00:27:50.70
inconvenient and
painful as they often au
00:27:50.70\00:27:54.37
often lead you on a journey to
discover that is they lead you
00:27:54.37\00:27:59.34
on a journey of discovery
of who you're dealing with
00:27:59.34\00:28:07.15
and he wants one thing
to know. God. In theory,
00:28:07.15\00:28:12.55
you know, I'm talking about
00:28:12.55\00:28:14.72
it's one thing to know God.
In theory, it's another thing
00:28:14.72\00:28:17.13
to know God, inexperience
and truthfully in deeply in
00:28:17.13\00:28:21.90
relationship.
00:28:21.90\00:28:23.80
>> He's my rock my sword and
my shield. He's willing to move
00:28:23.80\00:28:27.94
away. Wow,
00:28:27.94\00:28:29.70
that's my Jesus.
00:28:29.70\00:28:32.01
>> And that sounds all good on
its going to get your name in.
00:28:32.01\00:28:36.64
But, you know, at the end of
the day, we don't need a little
00:28:36.64\00:28:38.98
cutie statements.
00:28:38.98\00:28:41.12
We're going through a crisis.
00:28:41.12\00:28:44.79
We don't need
00:28:44.79\00:28:46.39
high sounding
00:28:46.39\00:28:48.52
theological vernacular.
00:28:48.52\00:28:51.66
More in the middle of a crisis.
00:28:51.66\00:28:54.66
You see in a crisis,
you need to experience
00:28:54.66\00:28:57.60
the living God
00:28:57.60\00:29:00.37
and sometimes God
will ignite or allow storms
00:29:00.37\00:29:05.31
in your life.
00:29:05.31\00:29:06.91
Get your attention.
00:29:06.91\00:29:09.11
And some people have a
hard time wrapping their minds
00:29:09.11\00:29:11.75
around that re out of the golf
allows that well, then he must
00:29:11.75\00:29:15.28
not be a God of love that he
would allow these circumstances
00:29:15.28\00:29:19.82
of these trials and
tribulations of these
00:29:19.82\00:29:22.06
hardships, these difficulties
to come into my life. He must
00:29:22.06\00:29:26.39
not be a god of love, but I'll
tell you, oftentimes God would
00:29:26.39\00:29:30.17
allow these things because
nothing ever will grab your
00:29:30.17\00:29:33.70
attention better than party
00:29:33.70\00:29:35.80
troubles trials, difficulties,
persecutions and tribulations.
00:29:35.80\00:29:41.81
That's why Cs Lewis is
famous for writing these words.
00:29:41.81\00:29:44.91
He said pain
00:29:44.91\00:29:46.75
insist upon being attended to
00:29:46.75\00:29:50.12
God whispers to us and our
pleasures. He speaks in our
00:29:50.12\00:29:53.32
consciences, but
shouts in our pains.
00:29:53.32\00:29:58.53
It is his megaphone
00:29:58.53\00:30:00.80
to rouse
00:30:00.80\00:30:02.23
a deaf world.
00:30:02.23\00:30:06.20
You know, sometimes
we may not be able to
00:30:06.20\00:30:09.17
hear the voice of God
in times of prosperity,
00:30:09.17\00:30:13.84
but God and his mercy
00:30:13.84\00:30:15.84
since adversity
00:30:15.84\00:30:17.71
when we needed.
00:30:17.71\00:30:19.31
And if God allows you to be
placed within the pit, I just
00:30:19.31\00:30:23.32
want to see just a
show of hands here.
00:30:23.32\00:30:24.92
>> How many of you have ever
been in a pit before in your
00:30:24.92\00:30:28.22
life? You you've been down in
that dark pit and it seems like
00:30:28.22\00:30:31.26
you would never ever going to
get out. Sometimes Gobert allow
00:30:31.26\00:30:35.36
you to be placed in that pit
no matter what the duration or
00:30:35.36\00:30:38.43
intensity, it's because he has
a purpose. And I want to share
00:30:38.43\00:30:41.14
with you some of those purposes
because many people question,
00:30:41.14\00:30:43.94
well, we've got allows these
will. Why would he allow such a
00:30:43.94\00:30:46.68
thing to come up on my watch?
Sometimes we might have soon in
00:30:46.68\00:30:50.35
our life that
he's trying to get to.
00:30:50.35\00:30:54.05
Maybe he has since some people.
00:30:54.05\00:30:57.12
Maybe he has sent some signs.
00:30:57.12\00:30:59.92
Maybe he sent some type of
indication to you and the Holy
00:30:59.92\00:31:03.76
Spirit's been screaming at you.
00:31:03.76\00:31:06.23
>> Not that the Holy Spirit
literally scream that you get
00:31:06.23\00:31:08.80
my point.
00:31:08.80\00:31:10.27
>> The holy Spirit is right
there telling you every day
00:31:10.27\00:31:12.77
that you need to surrender.
That's and let go of that soon.
00:31:12.77\00:31:15.64
But you just continue to live
in that state of city fullness.
00:31:15.64\00:31:20.44
And so God will sometimes allow
a trial to come into your life
00:31:20.44\00:31:24.78
because he's trying to
get to the sin in your lot.
00:31:24.78\00:31:29.38
Perhaps there's something he
wants you to surrender to him
00:31:29.38\00:31:32.25
that you've not let go yet
or maybe you're headed in a
00:31:32.25\00:31:35.72
direction. That's not a good
direction. You're headed down a
00:31:35.72\00:31:39.29
path. That's not the path that
he wants you to be on. We all
00:31:39.29\00:31:42.86
like sheep have gone astray
in turn everyone to our own way,
00:31:42.86\00:31:45.70
but only the way of God is the
right way. And sometimes when
00:31:45.70\00:31:48.97
when we don't listen to the
voice of God, when he tells us
00:31:48.97\00:31:52.24
to go this way, but yet
we continue to go that way in
00:31:52.24\00:31:55.51
order for us to change
direction. Sometimes God we'll
00:31:55.51\00:31:59.15
send a trial or tribulation
or some type of eye opening
00:31:59.15\00:32:03.35
attention, getting circumstance
in our lives and hopes that you
00:32:03.35\00:32:06.39
will change the path direction
you're on into the path
00:32:06.39\00:32:09.96
direction of him.
00:32:09.96\00:32:13.73
>> And of course, last but not
least he's working to conform
00:32:13.73\00:32:16.56
with you
00:32:16.56\00:32:18.93
and to his image
00:32:18.93\00:32:20.94
into his
00:32:20.94\00:32:22.44
righteous character.
00:32:22.44\00:32:25.04
Sometimes it may not be
necessarily anything bad or
00:32:25.04\00:32:28.18
negative that you have bought,
00:32:28.18\00:32:31.15
but rather God is allowing
certain circumstances to come
00:32:31.15\00:32:34.65
in your life because he's
preparing you for his kingdom.
00:32:34.65\00:32:40.52
>> He is shaping and molding
you. He is the Potter. We are
00:32:40.52\00:32:44.76
the plate and he's bending
the shaping of these molding and
00:32:44.76\00:32:48.03
he's breaking you and any which
way that he can. People put you
00:32:48.03\00:32:51.53
in the heat of some of life's
differ. Most difficult trials
00:32:51.53\00:32:55.14
in order like a silversmith to
prepare you and make us pure is
00:32:55.14\00:32:59.11
to be
00:32:59.11\00:33:00.18
repaired his kingdom.
00:33:00.18\00:33:02.38
>> Now to this point, some
of the studies and some of the
00:33:02.38\00:33:05.21
some of the stories that we've
mentioned here, you might still
00:33:05.21\00:33:07.15
run it all the stores,
the Bible's flooded with them.
00:33:07.15\00:33:09.22
Up of people who fell into
trial. They fell into some type
00:33:09.22\00:33:12.89
of difficult circumstance, much
like the disciples, much like
00:33:12.89\00:33:15.79
to Hossa fat and many other
stores where, you know, we're
00:33:15.79\00:33:18.89
in the trial. It was difficult
in the moment, but God brought
00:33:18.89\00:33:22.50
them through it or not brought
them out of that or he saved
00:33:22.50\00:33:25.87
them from it in the end.
00:33:25.87\00:33:28.57
But what about those times
when you fall into the trials
00:33:28.57\00:33:35.28
and God,
00:33:35.28\00:33:37.08
it's strangely
and conspicuously.
00:33:37.08\00:33:41.42
Now we're talking
00:33:45.45\00:33:48.72
when Matthew Chapter 11.
00:33:48.72\00:33:50.93
I want to take you on a journey
through the New Testament.
00:33:50.93\00:33:54.83
I want to show you
3 biblical examples
00:33:54.83\00:33:58.63
of people who were
living in the will of goat.
00:33:58.63\00:34:02.70
They fell into some
type of crisis in their life
00:34:02.70\00:34:09.51
and when they
needed God the most,
00:34:09.51\00:34:13.31
what are they received?
00:34:13.31\00:34:15.35
Silence
00:34:15.35\00:34:17.35
Matthew Chapter 11 versus
one through 3. Notice what the
00:34:17.35\00:34:19.52
Bible says. Now it came to pass
when Jesus finished commanding
00:34:19.52\00:34:22.52
his 12 disciples that he
departed from there to teach
00:34:22.52\00:34:25.36
him to preach in their
cities. And when John had heard
00:34:25.36\00:34:28.10
imprisoned about the
work, surprised he sent to his
00:34:28.10\00:34:30.97
disciples and said to him,
are you the coming one or do we
00:34:30.97\00:34:35.27
look for another?
00:34:35.27\00:34:37.57
And then this is the same,
John. That's this belly deep in
00:34:43.28\00:34:46.82
the money,
Jordan River with Jesus.
00:34:46.82\00:34:49.72
This is the same job that when
he saw Jesus coming, what did
00:34:49.72\00:34:52.82
he say? Behold
00:34:52.82\00:34:55.66
the lamb of God. Who takes away
00:34:55.66\00:34:58.63
the scent of the workout?
He knows she's this was the
00:34:58.63\00:35:01.53
most site
00:35:01.53\00:35:03.33
yet. By the time you get to
Matthew Chapter 11, something's
00:35:03.33\00:35:06.40
different.
00:35:06.40\00:35:07.80
Something changed.
00:35:07.80\00:35:12.07
John, the Baptist,
00:35:12.07\00:35:14.08
you see John is
in prison because
00:35:14.08\00:35:16.51
hair is in prison
because he rebuked Herat.
00:35:16.51\00:35:19.78
And ultimately there's this
little heart of girl that did a
00:35:19.78\00:35:24.02
little dance and into him up in
prison. You've got understand,
00:35:24.02\00:35:27.49
John was a man of principle.
He's not into, you know,
00:35:27.49\00:35:30.56
politics and policy and
all that stuff. He's a man of
00:35:30.56\00:35:33.90
principle. He's a man of
God. And he has been call for
00:35:33.90\00:35:36.67
special purpose
00:35:36.67\00:35:38.57
and he knows that. But
yet, by the time you get to this
00:35:38.57\00:35:41.00
particular situation, now he's
in prison. And you got to know
00:35:41.00\00:35:44.07
that this brother in all of his
humanity day in and day out as
00:35:44.07\00:35:47.41
he's behind prison bars, he's
deal. He's trying to wrap his
00:35:47.41\00:35:50.68
mind around the why of it all
00:35:50.68\00:35:54.82
Jesus is
00:35:54.82\00:35:56.08
Jesus is out there and
00:35:56.08\00:35:58.05
and I'm I'm here
00:35:58.05\00:36:01.26
seems like it would make so
much more sense for me to be
00:36:01.26\00:36:03.49
out there. I would do him so
much more good. I would be so
00:36:03.49\00:36:07.40
much more useful for the
Kingdom of God in preaching the
00:36:07.40\00:36:10.43
gospel of I was out there
and not in here. So what does he
00:36:10.43\00:36:13.50
do? He since some people to
confirm our view, the coming
00:36:13.50\00:36:18.01
one
00:36:18.01\00:36:19.04
or do we look for another?
00:36:19.04\00:36:21.08
You have to ask the question,
where is the confidence now?
00:36:21.08\00:36:24.51
Something's happened
00:36:24.51\00:36:26.72
in John's Milo. He's in
this present situation. So his
00:36:26.72\00:36:29.72
disciples finally come back
with the report, right? You can
00:36:29.72\00:36:31.99
imagine the report. Yes.
00:36:31.99\00:36:33.82
>> That's right. It's him.
He's the messiah. He can find
00:36:33.82\00:36:37.03
it.
00:36:37.03\00:36:38.49
And you can imagine John's
excitement now. He's exciting.
00:36:38.49\00:36:40.43
He's walking around that and
that prison cell every single
00:36:40.43\00:36:43.00
day. Haha, he's looking at the
door just waiting any day for
00:36:43.00\00:36:46.67
Jesus to appear right there
to sell door excited and smiling
00:36:46.67\00:36:50.84
for it. Hey, Kuz,
00:36:50.84\00:36:53.54
I'm here to get you out.
00:36:53.54\00:36:55.28
We've got some preaching to do.
We've got some stuff will turn
00:36:55.28\00:36:58.55
this well right-side up
with the gospel and he's looking
00:36:58.55\00:37:01.48
every single day.
00:37:01.48\00:37:02.88
>> But Jesus never shows up.
Ultimately what he received was
00:37:02.88\00:37:08.96
sign it.
00:37:08.96\00:37:11.79
You can imagine going all
the way to the chopping block.
00:37:11.79\00:37:17.07
Surely Jesus will show up.
00:37:17.07\00:37:20.50
>> Yes, rise a miracle worker.
He all right. He's going to
00:37:20.50\00:37:23.14
show up. He's just going to
speak a word or wave his hand.
00:37:23.14\00:37:25.97
He's going to do something.
He's going to get me out of the
00:37:25.97\00:37:28.28
situation.
00:37:28.28\00:37:30.41
What did you get
00:37:30.41\00:37:33.31
silence?
00:37:33.31\00:37:35.72
And this is the same guy.
00:37:35.72\00:37:38.09
The Jesus called
The Greatest Born
00:37:38.09\00:37:43.29
any woman,
00:37:43.29\00:37:45.19
the greatest
00:37:45.19\00:37:47.03
of all
00:37:47.03\00:37:48.60
profits
00:37:48.60\00:37:50.73
silence.
00:37:50.73\00:37:53.34
Now we move on
to John Chapter 11.
00:37:53.34\00:37:55.70
>> We find ourselves in a
different story now, John,
00:37:55.70\00:37:57.64
Chapter 11 in the gospels
and notice what the Bible says.
00:37:57.64\00:38:00.41
This is now a certain man was
sick. You know, the story last
00:38:00.41\00:38:04.21
verse of Bethany, that how this
could be the town of Mary and
00:38:04.21\00:38:06.95
her mother's and her mother,
Cindy sisters, Martha, excuse
00:38:06.95\00:38:09.98
me. And it was that Mary, who
anointed the Lord with fragrant
00:38:09.98\00:38:13.52
oil and want to speak with her
hair whose brother last Reese
00:38:13.52\00:38:16.73
was sick. Therefore, the
sister sent to him saying
00:38:16.73\00:38:19.59
>> they that he sic this
rather sick. And so they settled
00:38:19.59\00:38:23.67
messenger to Jesus. And by
the way, Jesus is just a little.
00:38:23.67\00:38:27.00
He's he's but he went back into
Jerusalem and you understand
00:38:27.00\00:38:29.70
rules about 2
miles from Bethany.
00:38:29.70\00:38:32.64
>> So it's not like
it was a very far wall.
00:38:32.64\00:38:35.44
So they sent a messenger to him
00:38:35.44\00:38:37.68
to tell him what, what
00:38:37.68\00:38:40.65
behold he whom you.
00:38:40.65\00:38:44.25
And then it says in verse 4,
when Jesus heard that, he said
00:38:47.96\00:38:50.36
the sickness is not into death,
but for the glory of God that
00:38:50.36\00:38:53.29
the son of God may be glorified
through it. Now, Jesus love
00:38:53.29\00:38:56.97
Martha and her sister, State
House district and Lazarus.
00:38:56.97\00:39:00.70
So when he heard
that he was sick, notice
00:39:00.70\00:39:03.64
he stay 2 more days
00:39:03.64\00:39:06.21
in the place where he was.
00:39:06.21\00:39:08.84
And you could imagine
00:39:08.84\00:39:12.05
every single day every moment
the past, though, looking just
00:39:12.05\00:39:17.15
waiting for Jesus to appear
waiting for Jesus to walk up
00:39:17.15\00:39:20.19
the driveway because, again,
this is Lazarus home. He loves
00:39:20.19\00:39:26.36
and you could just know
like hang in there last year.
00:39:26.36\00:39:28.36
Sinai have.
00:39:28.36\00:39:30.70
>> It's paying their brothers.
He says he's calm and he's on
00:39:30.70\00:39:33.77
is what we said. We know
the message is already come back
00:39:33.77\00:39:36.87
and told us he spoke to Jesus
and Jesus said it's not into
00:39:36.87\00:39:40.98
debt. Everything's
great. Jesus is on his weight.
00:39:40.98\00:39:45.25
>> Jesus
00:39:48.38\00:39:50.09
stays away.
00:39:50.09\00:39:52.65
What Mary and Martha
and last year's receive
00:39:52.65\00:39:56.62
silence
00:39:56.62\00:39:59.33
and verse. 21 of John 11 us
is now Martha said to Jesus.
00:39:59.33\00:40:02.16
He's not. He's
arrived. Glasses is dead.
00:40:02.16\00:40:05.60
>> Look, if you have been
here, my brother would not about
00:40:05.60\00:40:09.70
and I love. This is a
beautiful face statement.
00:40:09.70\00:40:13.51
She believes in the pack power
of Christ. But the question the
00:40:13.51\00:40:16.28
impact was and what were you?
00:40:16.28\00:40:19.85
We should messages. Well, were
you had you would come out in
00:40:19.85\00:40:24.39
time.
00:40:24.39\00:40:26.09
You could have
done what you do. Best
00:40:26.09\00:40:28.59
just simply spoke to were
just simply not only touched the
00:40:28.59\00:40:32.16
brother and his
sickness would have went away.
00:40:32.16\00:40:36.06
Well, are you?
00:40:36.06\00:40:38.43
>> And you say yeah, but Ryan,
it sees us Jesus is going to
00:40:38.43\00:40:41.30
resurrect him in and we know
the story because because Jesus
00:40:41.30\00:40:44.64
is often going to show
up making all things better.
00:40:44.64\00:40:47.18
>> But what I want you to
do it just for a moment, just
00:40:47.18\00:40:49.18
disabuse your your money, your
mind from from the outcome of
00:40:49.18\00:40:52.85
the story for a moment.
In reality in that moment
00:40:52.85\00:40:56.69
before the resurrection Met,
Mary and Martha are living in
00:40:56.69\00:41:00.49
this in real time.
00:41:00.49\00:41:03.46
They didn't know
what the future holds.
00:41:03.46\00:41:06.76
They're
experiencing this in real time
00:41:06.76\00:41:10.13
and in a moment that
they needed got to show up.
00:41:10.13\00:41:14.30
And this isn't
just some stranger God,
00:41:14.30\00:41:18.47
this is their friend.
00:41:18.47\00:41:21.68
It's the sum of got
00:41:21.68\00:41:23.41
Jesus,
00:41:23.41\00:41:27.05
which the Bible
says home. He love it.
00:41:27.05\00:41:31.69
And what do they
receive from the front?
00:41:31.69\00:41:34.22
Who happens to
be the son of God?
00:41:34.22\00:41:36.52
>> Who happens to be able to
speak world's into existence?
00:41:36.52\00:41:39.89
Who happens to be able to just
make some spit and some clay
00:41:39.89\00:41:43.77
and wiping over stuff and
wave his hand. And speaking of
00:41:43.77\00:41:47.90
things happen,
00:41:47.90\00:41:49.97
Jesus didn't even have to show
00:41:49.97\00:41:54.51
at last year's House.
00:41:54.51\00:41:56.64
Jesus could a stop right there
in the middle of the road where
00:41:56.64\00:41:59.18
he was a said last year's.
00:41:59.18\00:42:02.35
What happened?
00:42:06.55\00:42:09.62
Complete
00:42:09.62\00:42:11.83
silence,
00:42:11.83\00:42:13.46
but perhaps one of the
greatest examples of all
00:42:13.46\00:42:17.60
is found in Matthew. 26 want
to talk the greatest example of
00:42:17.60\00:42:21.90
silence
00:42:21.90\00:42:25.21
Matthew. 26
00:42:25.21\00:42:29.61
Jesus and his disciples
00:42:29.61\00:42:32.95
have now come into the garden
00:42:32.95\00:42:35.72
of Gethsemane. And you
know what gets him any means
00:42:35.72\00:42:40.29
that means
00:42:40.29\00:42:41.62
wine or all of
00:42:41.62\00:42:44.16
prints.
00:42:44.16\00:42:46.36
First, 36 of
Matthew chapter. 26.
00:42:49.30\00:42:52.70
Then Jesus came with them to
a place called Gethsemane and
00:42:52.70\00:42:55.54
sent to the disciples. Sit
here. When I go in, pray over
00:42:55.54\00:42:58.41
there
00:42:58.41\00:43:00.51
and he took with him,
Peter and his 2 sons, 70,
00:43:00.51\00:43:05.15
the 2 sons of zip it.
00:43:09.02\00:43:11.89
And he began to be sorrowful
00:43:11.89\00:43:13.99
and deeply distressed.
00:43:13.99\00:43:17.69
Then he said to them
00:43:17.69\00:43:19.29
my soul,
00:43:19.29\00:43:21.36
it's exceedingly softball
00:43:21.36\00:43:23.90
even to death.
00:43:23.90\00:43:26.17
Stay here and watch with me.
00:43:26.17\00:43:29.70
It went a little farther
and fell on his face and prayed
00:43:29.70\00:43:33.01
saying
00:43:33.01\00:43:34.24
my father,
00:43:34.24\00:43:36.85
if it is possible,
00:43:36.85\00:43:39.08
let this cup pass
from me. Nevertheless,
00:43:39.08\00:43:42.45
not as I will,
00:43:42.45\00:43:45.85
but as you will.
00:43:45.85\00:43:48.82
This is
interesting. This is Jesus
00:43:48.82\00:43:52.46
districts.
00:43:52.46\00:43:54.83
I'm not so much that he's just,
you know, under a little bit of
00:43:54.83\00:43:58.03
anxiety, a little bit of
stress. It says that he was so
00:43:58.03\00:44:01.87
distressed that loop
records that he actually sweat
00:44:01.87\00:44:08.54
blood
00:44:08.54\00:44:11.15
through
00:44:11.15\00:44:12.51
his sweat glands,
00:44:12.51\00:44:16.89
the sins of every human
being from the beginning of time
00:44:16.89\00:44:21.86
until that point. And from that
point, all the way to the end
00:44:21.86\00:44:25.96
of the world,
00:44:25.96\00:44:27.83
it's being placed upon him.
00:44:27.83\00:44:31.93
>> And this is the Jesus
to never overreacted anything.
00:44:31.93\00:44:35.94
Jesus was always just so
calm and so poised and under
00:44:35.94\00:44:40.41
control. Nothing
caucus, brother, by surprise.
00:44:40.41\00:44:44.11
You just go read the Gospels.
Jesus was always going to do
00:44:44.11\00:44:46.98
what we just talked
about. The calming of the storm.
00:44:46.98\00:44:48.85
This brothers asleep
00:44:48.85\00:44:51.69
in the starter
00:44:51.69\00:44:53.42
on a pillow.
00:44:53.42\00:44:55.49
That's the Jesus that we
know prior to this story.
00:44:55.49\00:44:59.63
Nothing really faced him
00:44:59.63\00:45:01.90
missus, same Jesus. The human
is the site will show up on the
00:45:01.90\00:45:04.50
shore, the gatherings and this
dumb only act full of all kinds
00:45:04.50\00:45:07.64
of legions of demons comes out
of love and the disciples are
00:45:07.64\00:45:11.47
so terrified there shaking in
their boots about a run back to
00:45:11.47\00:45:14.74
the boat and Jesus
tense there. Just chill.
00:45:14.74\00:45:20.95
>> You would have been running
like a scared little girl.
00:45:20.95\00:45:25.15
Not Jesus. Just calm, does she?
00:45:25.15\00:45:29.99
But now
00:45:29.99\00:45:32.19
something's happening.
00:45:32.19\00:45:34.40
And it says in verse, 39 again,
he went a little farther and
00:45:34.40\00:45:37.77
farther into space and
prayed single. My father. It is
00:45:37.77\00:45:40.27
possible that this cup pass
from me, nonetheless, not as I
00:45:40.27\00:45:42.90
will, but as you will, that
he came to the disciples in fat.
00:45:42.90\00:45:46.57
And then what
00:45:46.57\00:45:47.74
sleeping is said to Peter Watch
it. Could you not watch with
00:45:47.74\00:45:52.48
me? But one hour
00:45:52.48\00:45:54.22
watching pray lets you
into into temptation. The spirit
00:45:54.22\00:45:57.29
indeed is willing, but
the flesh is weak and again,
00:45:57.29\00:46:00.56
notice a second time he went
away, embracing all my father.
00:46:00.56\00:46:04.59
If this cup cannot pass
away from me unless I drink your
00:46:04.59\00:46:08.33
will be done and then notice
what it says here. And he came
00:46:08.33\00:46:11.63
and found him asleep again
for the eyes were heavy and then
00:46:11.63\00:46:15.44
verse. 44, so he left
them again, went away again and
00:46:15.44\00:46:18.64
prayed before time saying the
same work. Have you ever prayed
00:46:18.64\00:46:25.48
ever prayed for something
that you might have lost?
00:46:25.48\00:46:29.22
I mean, I've lost
something and you pray for it
00:46:29.22\00:46:32.92
and you prayed for something
or someone and the answer was
00:46:32.92\00:46:37.13
given, right? You receive an
answer to that? You don't pray
00:46:37.13\00:46:40.26
for that again.
00:46:40.26\00:46:42.73
Don't you receive
an answer to prayer
00:46:42.73\00:46:45.03
most the time. You don't pray
for that again, right? I mean,
00:46:45.03\00:46:47.60
that's just that's common
sense. You pray for something
00:46:47.60\00:46:50.77
more than once because you
didn't get the answer. You are
00:46:50.77\00:46:53.98
looking for
00:46:53.98\00:46:57.31
not only did Jesus not get
the answer he was looking for.
00:46:57.31\00:47:01.35
He didn't get any answer
00:47:01.35\00:47:03.75
what he received.
00:47:03.75\00:47:07.56
Silence
00:47:07.56\00:47:09.39
other you there.
00:47:16.00\00:47:20.34
You can hear you voiced fire.
00:47:20.34\00:47:25.57
I can't bear it.
00:47:25.57\00:47:28.71
The spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh
00:47:28.71\00:47:31.65
so weak
00:47:31.65\00:47:35.42
he would go to the cross.
00:47:35.42\00:47:37.85
>> And I all the
while bearing the weight
00:47:37.85\00:47:41.62
of got silence,
00:47:41.62\00:47:45.56
Joe
00:47:45.56\00:47:47.30
watching his family resources
wiped out obliterated before
00:47:47.30\00:47:50.97
his eyes.
00:47:50.97\00:47:52.37
Silence
00:47:52.37\00:47:53.84
Joseph sold into slavery
falsely accused of in prison.
00:47:53.84\00:47:59.57
Silence.

voice.
00:48:13.62\00:48:16.99
>> Were you God?
00:48:16.99\00:48:20.30
Don't you see
what I'm going through?
00:48:20.30\00:48:23.03
Don't you can't
00:48:23.03\00:48:27.37
don't you feel the pain?
00:48:27.37\00:48:29.40
But I feel
00:48:29.40\00:48:32.94
don't you feel the anxiety
00:48:32.94\00:48:35.34
and the pressure
00:48:35.34\00:48:36.81
but I can't bear anymore. Got
00:48:36.81\00:48:40.02
surely
00:48:40.02\00:48:41.35
if you love me,
00:48:41.35\00:48:43.28
you'll do something.
00:48:43.28\00:48:45.32
>> I don't know if you've ever
gone through personal tragedy.
00:48:50.49\00:48:54.13
We're going through a
personal tragedy right now.
00:48:54.13\00:48:57.40
But if not
00:48:57.40\00:48:59.27
the one thing we have to
learn about enduring trials
00:49:04.24\00:49:08.58
and the power to overcome
and to endure those trials.
00:49:08.58\00:49:13.01
>> Is that if we
exercise true faith,
00:49:13.01\00:49:17.69
we're not outcome driven.
00:49:17.69\00:49:21.09
We are got driven.
00:49:21.09\00:49:24.59
That is our faith
00:49:24.59\00:49:26.46
is in God himself.
00:49:26.46\00:49:28.70
His wish to his providence,
his love, his justice, his word.
00:49:28.70\00:49:34.90
It's in him
00:49:34.90\00:49:36.84
as opposed to a certain outcome.
00:49:36.84\00:49:40.21
But see, oftentimes we feel
like we can only believe if we
00:49:40.21\00:49:44.25
have
00:49:44.25\00:49:46.11
you often what
I'll believe it when I
00:49:49.92\00:49:53.39
C
00:49:53.39\00:49:54.92
this was Thomas's problem
00:49:54.92\00:49:57.06
that doubting Thomas Haha.
00:49:57.06\00:50:00.53
>> I I geez. This is a
lot. He he's he's the tomb was
00:50:00.53\00:50:03.63
empty. I saw it with my own
eyes. He he's alive. He's well.
00:50:03.63\00:50:07.64
He he really is
resurrected Thomas's either.
00:50:07.64\00:50:10.97
>> I don't know.
00:50:10.97\00:50:13.31
I just don't know
if I can believe that
00:50:13.31\00:50:16.68
I'm going to have to take my
hands my fingers and I'm going
00:50:16.68\00:50:19.71
to have to feel.
00:50:19.71\00:50:21.12
>> And see the scars from
my cell phone to put my fingers
00:50:21.12\00:50:25.25
into his sine die. I'm going to
have to see it in my experience
00:50:25.25\00:50:29.52
it
00:50:29.52\00:50:31.33
before. I believe it.
00:50:31.33\00:50:34.10
What did Jesus say
to him? He arrived.
00:50:34.10\00:50:36.83
Get you a good feel.
00:50:51.81\00:50:54.55
Get you a good to sticky to
3 fingers in the air. Go ahead.
00:50:54.55\00:50:58.32
Since you need
00:50:58.32\00:51:00.36
to see
00:51:00.36\00:51:02.62
what you need to experience
00:51:02.62\00:51:05.36
and then Jesus as these
words, he says, you believe
00:51:05.36\00:51:10.17
because you have seen
00:51:10.17\00:51:13.07
you were there
00:51:13.07\00:51:15.14
when I fed the 5,000
00:51:15.14\00:51:18.04
you were there
00:51:18.04\00:51:20.31
when I healed the blind man.
00:51:20.31\00:51:23.18
>> You got to experience and
see when I open the ears of the
00:51:23.18\00:51:28.12
deaf.
00:51:28.12\00:51:29.52
You went there when I spoke a
few words and the waves in the
00:51:29.52\00:51:34.06
storms ceased.
00:51:34.06\00:51:36.76
You were there
00:51:36.76\00:51:38.39
when I spoke to the dead
and the dead lived again, you
00:51:38.39\00:51:43.47
believe because you have seen
00:51:43.47\00:51:46.90
but blessing our votes
00:51:46.90\00:51:50.01
who believe
00:51:50.01\00:51:52.17
and have not seen.
00:51:52.17\00:51:54.38
You see to that. And there's
a specific phrase in the Bible.
00:51:57.85\00:52:00.22
The points out
00:52:00.22\00:52:01.65
the difference between
00:52:01.65\00:52:03.79
outcome driven
00:52:03.79\00:52:05.99
and got driven.
00:52:05.99\00:52:09.32
>> We find ourselves in Daniel
Chapter 3 verse a 16 to 18 as
00:52:09.32\00:52:12.59
we approach the end of
this message. I want you to get
00:52:12.59\00:52:14.56

point is a powerful point.

here it is. Daniel Chapter 3
00:52:26.94\00:52:29.81
verse a 16 to 18. What
the children of these 3 Hebrew
00:52:29.81\00:52:33.42
children they're in.
They're in a situation.
00:52:33.42\00:52:37.25
It's kind of looking grim
00:52:37.25\00:52:40.16
because they're told to
bow down when the music starts
00:52:40.16\00:52:42.72
playing
00:52:42.72\00:52:45.39
and they don't.
00:52:45.39\00:52:47.50
So they're brought to the king
00:52:47.50\00:52:49.66
standing before the most
powerful man in the world.
00:52:49.66\00:52:52.77
And what does he say to
them? If you don't doubt
00:52:52.77\00:52:56.74
I'm going to throw you
into that hot fiery furnace.
00:52:56.74\00:53:00.31
You will die today.
00:53:00.31\00:53:03.81
And what was the response
00:53:03.81\00:53:05.71
for 16 of Daniel 3 shed?
Right? We should have been to
00:53:05.71\00:53:08.12
go answered and said to
the King own a beacon has it.
00:53:08.12\00:53:11.52
We have no need to
answer a few in this matter.
00:53:11.52\00:53:15.06
If that is the case, our God,
who we serve is able to deliver
00:53:15.06\00:53:19.06
us from the burning fiery
furnace and he will deliver us
00:53:19.06\00:53:23.26
from your hand. Kings. Don't
miss it. Do making a mistake.
00:53:23.26\00:53:27.80
Catch these next 3 words, but
