Speaker 1: This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry
Speaker 1: of Pastor Rick Warren. Today we continue in our series
Speaker 1: called fifty Days of Faith. In these lessons, Rick looks
Speaker 1: into God's word to discover the true meaning of faith
Speaker 1: and explore ways we can strengthen it. First, if you'd
Speaker 1: like to help the kids you know learn God's word,
Speaker 1: then stay with us, because in just a few minutes
Speaker 1: we're going to tell you about God's big plans for
Speaker 1: you an easy to understand storybook Bible by Pastor Rick Warren.
Speaker 1: You can take a sneak peek right now by going
Speaker 1: to Pastorick dot com while you listen to today's message.
Speaker 2: If you want, you can just text the.
Speaker 1: Word hope to eight hundred six hundred five thousand and four.
Speaker 1: That's the word hope to eight hundred six hundred five
Speaker 1: thousand and four. Right now. Here's Pastor Rick Warren with
Speaker 1: part one of a message called following God's Directions.
Speaker 3: One day a Roman army officer came to Jesus and
Speaker 3: he said, I have a servant who's very ill. In fact,
Speaker 3: he's paralyzed and he's suffering in bed. And Jesus said, well,
Speaker 3: I'll just go to your house and heal him. And
Speaker 3: the Roman centurion said, oh, no, Lord, you don't need
Speaker 3: to do that. Said, I understand authority, and I'm not
Speaker 3: worthy for you to come to my house. But I
Speaker 3: know this obedience and authority thing. I am a captain
Speaker 3: in the army. I make commands to my soldiers and
Speaker 3: they obey immediately.
Speaker 2: And I make.
Speaker 3: Commands to my servants and they obey me immediately. They
Speaker 3: do whatever I tell them to do. So I understand
Speaker 3: authority and obedience. You don't need to come to my house, Jesus,
Speaker 3: If you just say the word from right here, I'm
Speaker 3: sure he'll be healed instantly.
Speaker 2: Jesus looked at that man, and he.
Speaker 3: Said, this is the greatest faith I've ever seen in Israel,
Speaker 3: the greatest faith. Why because faith and obedience are interlocked.
Speaker 3: When you trust someone, you do what they say. If
Speaker 3: you don't do what somebody tells you to do, it
Speaker 3: means you don't trust them.
Speaker 2: Now, God has.
Speaker 3: Linked faith and obedience together so that all of the
Speaker 3: promises of God are conditioned upon you following the directions
Speaker 3: that he gives you. Notice the first verse on the
Speaker 3: top of your outline Deuteronomy five point thirty three. Follow
Speaker 3: all the directions the Lord has given you, then life
Speaker 3: will go well for you. How many of you would
Speaker 3: like to have life go well for you? Can I
Speaker 3: see your hands?
Speaker 2: That's what I thought.
Speaker 3: And God has made some incredible promises in his word
Speaker 3: about obedience, and he gets very very specific. In fact,
Speaker 3: there were so many promises about obedience in God's word
Speaker 3: I couldn't even listen them all. I had to just
Speaker 3: pick and choose a few there on the front of
Speaker 3: your outline. Notice what God promises if we obey him.
Speaker 3: God blesses those who obey him. The Bible says, God
Speaker 3: saves those who obey him. God watches over those who
Speaker 3: obey him. The Lord takes care of those who obey him.
Speaker 3: You will be helped. God helps those who obey him.
Speaker 3: God gives us what we ask for because we obey
Speaker 3: his commands. The Bible says that if you follow God's directions,
Speaker 3: you will be happy. You will live longer, you will
Speaker 3: lack nothing good, you will have.
Speaker 2: All that you need.
Speaker 3: The Bible says, if you obey and follow God's instructions,
Speaker 3: that you will live in perfect freedom. You will have
Speaker 3: greater wisdom, you will dwell in security and peace. He's
Speaker 3: promised you will be prosperous and successful. You will be
Speaker 3: great in the Kingdom of heaven, and you will be
Speaker 3: rewarded for eternity. Now, just in case this didn't sink in,
Speaker 3: I listed a few other references for you to look up.
Speaker 3: Obedience is the premise behind all of the promises. God
Speaker 3: gives us his promises by grace, but we enjoy is
Speaker 3: promises when we follow the directions. We follow the instructions. Now,
Speaker 3: based on all of these promises, and they're pretty incredible.
Speaker 3: Is God a liar?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: God says I will do these things in your life
Speaker 3: if you follow my directions.
Speaker 2: The Manual for Life.
Speaker 3: Based on that, let me ask you some very pointed questions,
Speaker 3: and I'd like for you to verbally respond to this.
Speaker 3: Based on this, do you think that following God's direction?
Speaker 3: Do you think that obeying God is a.
Speaker 2: Good idea or a bad idea? Yeah, a good idea.
Speaker 3: Do you think it is smart or is it stupid
Speaker 3: to disobey something God's told you to do? Yeah, it's stupid,
Speaker 3: It's dumb. I heard a smart over there. We're going
Speaker 3: to do a recount right now. Okay, So that's when
Speaker 3: here's the third question. When I don't understand something that
Speaker 3: God tells me to do. When I don't understand a command,
Speaker 3: will it be more beneficial to me if I do
Speaker 3: it anyway? Or if I do what I think is best? Yeah,
Speaker 3: do it anyway. You see, God often gives us rules
Speaker 3: and commands in his word. And they're not suggestions, folks,
Speaker 3: they're commands. God often gives us commands in his word,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't explain why he wants you to do
Speaker 3: them on faith. And sometimes they sound unfair. They sound
Speaker 3: like they're meant to cramp your style, that God is
Speaker 3: some kind of killjoy that is limiting you.
Speaker 2: For instance, the Bible is very clear.
Speaker 3: It says no sex outside of marriage, real clear about that.
Speaker 3: Over and over, sex is for husbands and wives in
Speaker 3: the bonds of marriage. The Bible says, when somebody hurts you,
Speaker 3: you are to forgive them. The Bible says you're to
Speaker 3: take the first ten percent and tie it back to God.
Speaker 3: Of all you make, the Bible says you are to
Speaker 3: when people do evil to you, you are to do
Speaker 3: good back to them.
Speaker 2: Now, a lot of these commands, they don't make sense from.
Speaker 3: A human standpoint, but God says to it it's a
Speaker 3: matter of trust. So then the big question is will
Speaker 3: I be blessed by obeying what God is said to
Speaker 3: do even when I don't understand it, or by making
Speaker 3: up my own set of rules because I know more
Speaker 3: than God.
Speaker 2: There's no question about that.
Speaker 3: Obedience is a demonstration of faith, and obedience unlocks the
Speaker 3: key to all of God's blessings in your life. God
Speaker 3: promises to reward you if you'll just follow his direction.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Rick will be

Speaker 4: The Bible says children are a gift from the Lord.
Speaker 4: Do you have kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, or kids in
Speaker 4: your neighborhood that need to know God loves them and
Speaker 4: has a good plan for their lives. You can help
Speaker 4: them get closer to God by encouraging them to read
Speaker 4: God's word. That's why we're so excited to tell you
Speaker 4: about a very special resource just for kids. Called God's

Speaker 1: Now back to more from God's Word with Pastor Rick Warren.
Speaker 3: The Bible says you are too When people do evil
Speaker 3: to you, you are to do.
Speaker 2: Good back to them.
Speaker 3: Now, a lot of these commands, they don't make sense
Speaker 3: from a human standpoint, but God says to it it's
Speaker 3: a matter of trust. So then the big question is
Speaker 3: will I be blessed by obeying what God is said
Speaker 3: to do even when I don't understand it, or by
Speaker 3: making up my own set of rules because I know
Speaker 3: more than God.
Speaker 2: There's no question about that.
Speaker 3: Obedience is a demonstration of faith, and obedience unlocks the
Speaker 3: key to all of.
Speaker 2: God's blessings in your life.
Speaker 3: God promises to reward you if you'll just follow his directions. So,
Speaker 3: as your pastor, I don't want you to miss out
Speaker 3: on all the promises that are right there on the
Speaker 3: front of that outline. I don't want you to miss
Speaker 3: out on that. God will bless you and save you
Speaker 3: and watch over you and take care of you and
Speaker 3: help you, and you'll be happy, and you'll live longer,
Speaker 3: and you'll lack nothing, and you'll have what you need,
Speaker 3: and you'll have perfect freedom. And God will prosper you
Speaker 3: and make you successful, and you'll be great in the
Speaker 3: Kingdom of Heaven, and you'll be warded. I don't want
Speaker 3: you to miss out on that. So today I want
Speaker 3: us to look at how to receive the promises of God.
Speaker 3: What you must do in order to appropriate all these
Speaker 3: things in your life. And the Bible is very clear
Speaker 3: you do four things on the back of your outline
Speaker 3: how to resis God's promises. When you know what God
Speaker 3: wants you to do, when you know what the will
Speaker 3: of God is, you do four things. Number One, obey
Speaker 3: God immediately immediately. You don't delay, you don't wait, you
Speaker 3: don't procrastinate. You don't put it off, you don't make excuses,
Speaker 3: you don't drag your feet.
Speaker 2: You just do it.
Speaker 3: You do it now, you don't do it later. You
Speaker 3: do it now. So I'm one nineteen verse thirty two.
Speaker 3: I will quickly obey your commands without delay. I hurry
Speaker 3: to obey your commands. If there's any time in life
Speaker 3: you really ought to hurry, it's when God.
Speaker 2: Tells you to do something you shouldn't delay on that
Speaker 2: you hurry.
Speaker 3: You obey God immediately, whether you feel like it or not,
Speaker 3: whether you understand it or not, you just do it immediately.
Speaker 3: You don't have to understand something to benefit from it.
Speaker 3: I don't understand how heavy planes fly in the air,
Speaker 3: but I fly all the time. Understand how computers work,
Speaker 3: but I share like email. I don't understand internal combustion,
Speaker 3: but I've driven a car for years. You don't have
Speaker 3: to understand something to enjoy it to benefit from it.
Speaker 2: And you don't have to.
Speaker 3: Understand God's commands in order to obey them and benefit
Speaker 3: from them. Every parent knows that when you'll tell a
Speaker 3: kid something, sometimes.
Speaker 2: They'll say, well, why should I do that? And you say,
Speaker 2: because I said so.
Speaker 3: Now behind those five words you are actually saying because
Speaker 3: your little pe brain isn't big enough to understand it.
Speaker 3: And one day you'll understand real reality. But right now,
Speaker 3: trust me, I know better than you, and I'm doing
Speaker 3: this for your own goods, So you do it.
Speaker 2: All that's behind because I say so.
Speaker 3: And God sometimes tells you to do something, you say why,
Speaker 3: and he says, because I say so, because I know
Speaker 3: more than you, and I don't owe you an explanation.
Speaker 3: One day you're going to understand, but you just do it.
Speaker 3: It is pretty audacious to question the creator.
Speaker 2: Of the universe. Are you sure God?
Speaker 3: He said, well, what if I don't have a good attitude,
Speaker 3: you still obey? You're telling me rick to obey God
Speaker 3: with a bad attitude. Absolutely, it's far better than disobedience.
Speaker 3: I mean, how about your parents. If you were to say, kids,
Speaker 3: I want you all to go clean your rooms, but
Speaker 3: you don't have to do it until you have an
Speaker 3: enthusiastic attitude, they're.
Speaker 2: Never going to do it.
Speaker 3: They're just never gonna do it, So you do it
Speaker 3: in spite of it. I mean, I've adults do this
Speaker 3: all the time. I can't tell you a many adults
Speaker 3: I've talked to you who said I don't feel like
Speaker 3: forgiving and reconciling with my spouse, or I don't feel
Speaker 3: like breaking off this affair that I know is wrong.
Speaker 2: Well, so what, who cares what you feel?
Speaker 3: You do the right thing anyway. Only immature people go
Speaker 3: by their feelings. Mature people do the right thing in
Speaker 3: spite of their feelings. You're very emotionally immature if you
Speaker 3: live by your feelings.
Speaker 2: So what do you do? You do the right thing.
Speaker 3: You obey God immediately in spite of how you feel,
Speaker 3: and then after you have obeyed, then you can work
Speaker 3: on your sorry attitude that'll come along later. Feelings will
Speaker 3: come later. You do the right thing because you know
Speaker 3: it's the right thing to do, and you know what
Speaker 3: your feelings will play catch up.
Speaker 2: Now, here's the principle in the Bible.
Speaker 3: Anytime God gives a stated command without a specific date,
Speaker 3: like on the first of every week, do this, he
Speaker 3: doesn't give it.
Speaker 2: He means to do it now. Now.
Speaker 3: For instance, when Kay calls the Warren family to dinner,
Speaker 3: she says come to dinner at six o'clock, she means
Speaker 3: at six o'clock. If she says come to dinner at
Speaker 3: five thirty, she means five thirty. If she says come
Speaker 3: to dinner, that means what now, right now? Not in
Speaker 3: ten minutes, It means now, you obey immediately.
Speaker 2: Now. Kids kids are born knowing how.
Speaker 3: To play the game of delayed obedience because they're playing
Speaker 3: their games or video or whatever. And whenever you say
Speaker 3: come to dinner, the first game they play is play deaf.
Speaker 3: I get here you. Oh, I didn't hear you. I
Speaker 3: didn't hear you say that. And you know what, we
Speaker 3: do that all the time with God. Oh I can't
Speaker 3: hear you. God, he's talking loud and clear. You I
Speaker 3: get la la la, la la la. I'm not listening.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, you know, and put I'm not listening,
Speaker 3: and you're trying to pretend that you're deaf when God
Speaker 3: has said I'm talking to you, and you know I'm
Speaker 3: talking to you.
Speaker 2: Like he is right now.
Speaker 3: And then the second game we play is imagine mom
Speaker 3: is talking to somebody else. Oh, you meant me come
Speaker 3: to dinner. Well, who do you think I meant the
Speaker 3: little fairy in the corner? Now, no, he says, oh,
Speaker 3: well I surely. And we do this with God. Oh, God,
Speaker 3: this verse here in the Bible. Surely that's not for
Speaker 3: me in my circumstance. No, that's got to be for
Speaker 3: somebody a long time ago and a long way away. Surely, God,
Speaker 3: you're not talking to me, are you? In order to
Speaker 3: delay obedience? Now, when we delay obedience, it means we're
Speaker 3: questioning God.
Speaker 2: Do you really know what's best? God? I mean, I
Speaker 2: know you said this in the Bible, but do you
Speaker 2: really know what's best? And do you really have what's
Speaker 2: best for me? And mind? Surely you didn't mean me
Speaker 2: when you said that.
Speaker 3: You know what, I've discovered that many adults use counseling
Speaker 3: to delay obedience. They know the right thing to do,
Speaker 3: but they don't want to do it, so they just
Speaker 3: keep going to counsel and going on to counsel, thinking, well,
Speaker 3: if I just keep talking about it, then I don't
Speaker 3: have to do what I know is the right thing
Speaker 3: to do, to confess, to repent, to forgive, to be forgiven,
Speaker 3: and on and on. I mean, you talk to somebody
Speaker 3: say how long are you be accountsing? Ninety nine years? Well,
Speaker 3: I could have saved you ninety eight of them if
Speaker 3: you'd just done the right thing the first year, and
Speaker 3: you're using that to delay what you know is the
Speaker 3: right thing to do. Question, What if God responded to
Speaker 3: your needs at the same speed at which you obey him. Ooh, see,
Speaker 3: when we get in trouble, we want God's help immediately.
Speaker 2: God, I need your help now, and I need it fast.
Speaker 3: How about if that's it, Well, I'll think about it.
Speaker 3: I'll get around to it one of these days. But
Speaker 3: right now I'm a little busy, and I intend to
Speaker 3: help you. But it'll it'll be, it'll be a while.
Speaker 3: If you want the blessings of God, all the ones
Speaker 3: I just read on the front of this outline, you
Speaker 3: want those in your life, you must obey God immediately.
Speaker 3: When he tells you something to do, you follow the instructions.
Speaker 3: Would you write this down? Delayed obedience is disobedience. Delayed
Speaker 3: obedience is disobedience. Now, if you want all of the
Speaker 3: blessings of God in your life, number two, you must
Speaker 3: also obey him completely, not just instantly or immediately, but completely.
Speaker 3: You don't say, well, I'll shake this one but not
Speaker 3: that one. And I like this command, but I don't
Speaker 3: like that one, And I'm going to follow this one,
Speaker 3: but I'm not gonna follow that one. You need to
Speaker 3: not be partially obedient, but totally obedient. Pal one nineteen says, Lord,
Speaker 3: you gave your orders to be obeyed completely. Now in
Speaker 3: order to do this, to obey God completely, you need
Speaker 3: to understand two very important truths. Number one is that
Speaker 3: God's standard of right and wrong has never changed. It
Speaker 3: never has, it never will. If if something was wrong
Speaker 3: six thousand years ago, it's still today. If it was
Speaker 3: right ten thousand years ago, it's still right today. If
Speaker 3: lying was wrong in the Ten Commandments, it's still wrong today.
Speaker 3: Because truth doesn't change. Culture change, popular opinion changes. Lots
Speaker 3: of things change, but truth does not change. It is
Speaker 3: eternal forever, and what's right is right and what is
Speaker 3: wrong is wrong, regardless of what the popular opinion polls say.
Speaker 3: The second thing you need to understand is that God
Speaker 3: has a bigger perspective than you. He sees things you
Speaker 3: can't see, and you trying to see from God's perspective
Speaker 3: would be like an aunt trying to see from your perspective.
Speaker 2: It ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 3: You're not capable of seeing it all like God sees
Speaker 3: it all, So you need to trust him. Look at
Speaker 3: this next verse. Your job is not to decide whether
Speaker 3: God's law is right or wrong, but to obey it.
Speaker 2: Let me just figure it out. So God, I'm going
Speaker 2: to obey it.
Speaker 3: If you know what the oldest temptation is, it's not
Speaker 3: lest it's not lying, it's not gluttony. The oldest temptation
Speaker 3: is the temptation to doubt God's word. When Satan came
Speaker 3: to Eve in the Garden of Eden, his first temptation was,
Speaker 3: did God really say you should need of this tree?
Speaker 3: I know, you know you can eat of everything else
Speaker 3: in the Guardian, but you're not to eat of this stree?
Speaker 3: Did God really say that? And every time you're tempted,
Speaker 3: he's still using that same line on you in your conscience. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know the Bible says, don't do this, but did
Speaker 3: God really say is it really for me?
Speaker 2: And?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know the Bible says I'm supposed to do this,
Speaker 3: but really does that apply in the twenty first century?
Speaker 3: Did God really it's to doubt God's word?

Speaker 1: resource you'll want to give every kid that God has
Speaker 1: placed in your life. Here's Rick to tell you more.
Speaker 5: In Matthew nineteen fourteen, Jesus said, let the little children
Speaker 5: come to me, and do not hinder them, for the
Speaker 5: Kingdom of God belong to such as these. How do
Speaker 5: we bring children to Jesus, Well, the best way is
Speaker 5: to read the Bible with them. You know, when my
Speaker 5: kids were growing up, I could always see their excitement
Speaker 5: about Jesus grow every time we read stories from the
Speaker 5: Bible together. Now I see that same excitement when I
Speaker 5: read the Bible with my grandchildren. I love teaching them
Speaker 5: at such an early age that God created them for
Speaker 5: a purpose, that they are not an accident, that they
Speaker 5: matter to God, and that He has a special plan
Speaker 5: for their lives. So I'm excited to tell you that
Speaker 5: I've teamed up with a very gifted children's illustrator to
Speaker 5: prepare a new Bible for children. It's called God's Big
Speaker 5: Plans for Me Storybook Bible. Your kids will learn from
Speaker 5: God's word in ways that are easy to understand, and
Speaker 5: long after they learned to read on their own, this
Speaker 5: storybook Bible is going to keep on encouraging them to
Speaker 5: trust in God's promises. The God's Big Plans for Me
Speaker 5: Storybook Bible contains four well loved Bible stories that will
Speaker 5: help your kids learn how to apply God's word to
Speaker 5: their lives. Each story is beautifully illustrated, it's incredible, and
Speaker 5: includes an introduction from me that it encourages them to
Speaker 5: discover God's great purpose for them. It's fun, it's effective,
Speaker 5: it's entertaining, it's challenging, it's captivating. It's a great way
Speaker 5: to introduce children to God's eternal truths. Now, I'll send
