5
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>And now here's your message. Boy.

6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 2>One of them, one of them is my close friend

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 2>told Perry.

8
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Perry looked at me the other day.

9
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>She said, you don't have many friends, she said, and

10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 2>the ones you do have, they either fall into sin

11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>or they die.

12
00:00:43.280 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 1>And be careful that anybody won't be my friend. Oh man.

13
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>So and it's what.

14
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>This is the thing, I guess And this is not

15
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>it's mentioned in the notes, but it's not really a

16
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>major point. But I'm gonna make it a major point

17
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 2>right now. Relationship relationship with the Lord. And I'm not

18
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 2>going to ask you to show your hands or anything,

19
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just gonna lay some things out and then.

20
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>We'll go to the message.

21
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>When you start looking at the Word of God and

22
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the importance that people placed on their relationship with him,

23
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 2>it was the primary, most important part of their lives.

24
00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>And in our church world we make it convenient for them.

25
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't so convenient.

26
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 2>And I think we do a disservice to the body

27
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>of Christ.

28
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>When we minimize that, we give lip service to it.

29
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>But how serious are we that we get in God's

30
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 2>presence every day? And I start looking go through scripture,

31
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and when you see people who who are are convicted

32
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>of sin or of what's going on in their life

33
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>or their ignorance the word of God and turn and

34
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>devote themselves to the Lord. You see an entire nation turn.

35
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>You'll see an entire family turn. You'll see circumstances change supernaturally.

36
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>But it has to do with that relationship. And so

37
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>a Sunday morning relationship with God and then invoking him

38
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>when we have difficulties, that's not gonna get us anywhere.

39
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't work that way. God doesn't work that way.

40
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's why so many people struggle. I'm

41
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>thinking of a guy in ministry right now.

42
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Who's who's who's on the verge of.

43
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Losing his ministry because and part of the reason is

44
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>not all of it, but I would wager the beginning

45
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 2>of it is.

46
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>The work of the ministry replaced his time with the Lord.

47
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 2>And if you if if you can't you can't understand that,

48
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe you can, but but it it okay. I'm gonna

49
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>do my prayer time and my devotional time, and I'll

50
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>make my my sermon preparation part of that. No, I'm

51
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna pray for the sick.

52
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pray on the way over.

53
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, we begin to substitute, we begin to switch,

54
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>and then we shortchange ourselves and our relationship with the Lord.

55
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 2>And then when something goes wrong, or we're confronted with

56
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>a challenge or or or are we're having to go

57
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>pray for somebody, then we got to play catch up. Now,

58
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>if you're honest, I would bet and I hadn't done

59
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the horses in a long time.

60
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Rais so that when all of a sudden we have

61
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a crisis, we.

62
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Run to God and we're working to get him on

63
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>our side. Lord, I need you to intervene that bad

64
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>report from the doctor. I just I reject that. Father,

65
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>touch me, heal me. Please God, I need your help,

66
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Please Lord. And then we go get everybody we know

67
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 2>to pray with us and pray for which is you better?

68
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>But we're not sure. We know what the word says.

69
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>We've heard testimonies, but we're not sure in our own

70
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>relationship that's the problem.

71
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Because now we got to go.

72
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>We feel like we've got to go try and convince

73
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>God to get on our side in this, and we

74
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>really need to take a long, hard look at the

75
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 2>priority we have concerning our personal relationship with the Lord.

76
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm not and if this sounds condemning, I'm not

77
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to make it that way. It's a pattern that

78
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I see over I see it all through scripture, and

79
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I see it in my own life, and I've seen

80
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 2>it in other people's lives. And you know what, if

81
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>you look at scripture or you look at history in

82
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>your life or other people's lives, you can see that

83
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>that outcome is really kind of like flipping a corn.

84
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 1>It's really not that great. But when you looking at

85
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>people who have a relationship with the Lord, walk closely

86
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>with the Lord, guard that relationship.

87
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Then when something presents itself, they don't have to wait,

88
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>let me go find the mind of Christ on this.

89
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 2>They go, uh no, we're going to do this, Father,

90
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 2>thank you.

91
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we're going to do that. I reject that.

92
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I accept that, and there's a confidence and a boldness

93
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>because of the depth of the personal.

94
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Relationship I'm talking to myself here.

95
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Uh, you know what something just recently scared the.

96
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Mess out of me.

97
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>My oldest daughter called me and said, I need you

98
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>and mom to make the call on this. Okay, should

<v Speaker 1>I tell you what.

101
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I was afraid to answer, because what that means is

102
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>it's all on me.

103
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 1>All of it's on me.

104
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 2>It's one thing with Perry because you know, I mean,

105
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.279
<v Speaker 2>it's not all on me. It's me and her when

106
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>we got married. But now my daughter over whom I

107

<v Speaker 2>to make the call.

109
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm scared the crap out of me. Man, that's a

110
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 1>serious thing.

111
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>There's so many implications spiritually in a marriage.

112
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>It astounds me. And you look at this and I'm

113
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>going I had.

114
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:20.160

117
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>prison over.

118
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 1>So we've had that talk.

119
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Hey, listen, chris is oldest daughter goes on our first

120
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:38.519

<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm furnishing the food.

122
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay. They talk about an uptight, little fellow man. That's

123
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna be fun to watch. Okay, Now that relationship we

124
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 2>got off a little bit relationship, relationship, relationship, and an

125
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>inner part of with the contrast we're gonna look at

126
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 2>here is one party had a relationship with God, the

127
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 2>other did not, and it made all the difference in

128
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the outcomes, or was a major influence.

129
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, let me give you a little background.

130
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>This is a story about David and Goliath, and I'm

131
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna set the scene here. You've got Saul in his

132
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 2>army and they've gone out to fight with the Philistines.

133
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>The Philistines were from Greece.

134
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 2>They came coasting down the coastline, invading, pillaging, looting, and

135
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 2>they settled on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea of Israel,

136
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>and they ran the Israeli's inland and took the best land.

137
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.799
<v Speaker 2>And so you had this constant struggle now and they

138
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 2>come and the attack, and they go out and the fight.

139
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>As a matter of fact, in chapter thirteen, I'm gonna

140
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 2>read two distinct verses for you. Chapter thirteen nineteen, not

141
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 2>a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel.

142
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Because the Philistines.

143
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Had said otherwise, the Hebrews will make swords or spears

144
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Verse twenty two. So on the day of the battle,

145
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 2>not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword

146
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.480
<v Speaker 2>or spear in his hand. Only Saul and his son

147
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan had them. That's an earlier battle. That's the battle

148
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>that talking about when Saul would not wait for Samuel

149
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and offered up to sacrifice and Samuel came in and

150
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.279
<v Speaker 2>rebuked him. That's when that took place. You can see

151
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.720
<v Speaker 2>why Saul is nervous. He's losing men, and he's got

152
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 2>a sword, and Jonathan got a spear, of vice versa,

153
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 2>and everybody else has got pitchforks, hoes, shovels. It's a

154
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 2>farmer army against a real army. So Saul was desperate.

155
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 2>So this is the type of environment that this has

156
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>taking place in.

157
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 1>But there's something new.

158
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>The Philistines send out or Philistines however you want to

159
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>say it, send out Goliath every morning and every evening,

160
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 2>and he walks out there and he challenges Israel to

161
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>send out a champion.

162
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Now this was new to them.

163
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Prior to that, in the Middle East, they just ran

164
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>at each other and had all out brawl in battle.

165
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 2>But coming from Greece, they had a different principle in

166
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 2>this thing. You send out your big guy. We send

167
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>out our big guy. The winner takes all that way.

168
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 1>You really only get one person has to die. Rest

169
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>of us get. You know, it's not so bad. It's

170
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of like war by proxy. I mean really.

171
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>So he goes out there and he's doing this for

172
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:38.919
<v Speaker 2>forty days, so eighty times this guy walks out and

173
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>challenges them, mocks them, makes fun of them.

174
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 1>So Israel still in the Bronze age. They don't have

175
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 1>very many weapons.

176
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>What they do have, our inferior Philistines have steel and iron,

177
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 2>and they got cutting.

178
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Edge weapons of the day.

179
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 2>So Israel is sitting there going, man, what are we

180
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna do? What we're gonna deal with this? And they're

181
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:09.200
<v Speaker 2>all afraid. They're terribly afraid. So this is the environment

182
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>that we see taking place. And then we see David

183
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>come on the scene in this first Samuel seventeen. Now,

184
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled at

185
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Soko and Judah. They pitched camp at Epes. Damn him,

186
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say that, Chris. Between Soko and Azeka, saw

187
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and the Israelites assembled and camped in the valley of

188
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Elah and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines.

189
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>The Philistines, I can go back and forth, occupied one hill,

190
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 2>the Israelites another, with the valley between them. A champion

191
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 2>named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the

192
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span

193
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>nine feet nine inches tall. And you in here, no Andrews,

194
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>what six' four so figure somebody more than three feet

195
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 2>taller than that nine feet nine inches. Tall he had

196
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of,

197
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 2>scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels one hundred

198
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:26.399
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five. Pounds on his, legs he wore bronze

199
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>grievous and a bronze javelin was slung to his. Back

200
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.559
<v Speaker 2>his spear chef was like a weaver's, rod and its

201
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>iron point weighed six hundred shekels fifteen. Pounds this the

202
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 2>point on his spear was fifteen.

203
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 1>Pounds his shield.

204
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Barrel went ahead of, him And goliath stood and shouted

205
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to the ranks Of, israel why do you come out

206

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:15.960
<v Speaker 2>be king Over. Israel So david knew his. Destiny and this,

303
00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:17.680
<v Speaker 2>kid he may have been a, kid he may have

304
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 2>been wet behind the, ears but let me tell you.

305
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:22.039
<v Speaker 2>What he was wise enough to keep his mouth shut about.

306
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 2>That he was also wise enough in his relationship To

307
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:28.039
<v Speaker 2>god that he was going to walk into the. Circumstances

308
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>it didn't matter, what because he Knew god had a

309
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 2>purpose and a plan for his life and a future for.

310
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Him and he got on his. Face he was finding

311
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.440
<v Speaker 2>out what it. Was he spent time with The, lord

312
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 2>and so he could be confident and, bold and he

313
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:41.359
<v Speaker 2>could make that statement he.

314
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Makes let me read that. Again david said To, saul

315
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>let no one lose heart on account of this. Philistine

316
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>your servant on go out and fight.

317
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Him, Okay, now this is the first. Point this has

318
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to do with the first, point total surrender to the purposes.

319
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Of God god for your.

320
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Life what's his plan for? You david was a, shepherd

321
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:15.039
<v Speaker 2>And david.

322
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Loved. God the word says he was a man After

323
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 1>god's own.

324
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Heart But david fully Accepted god's plan for his. Life

325
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 2>and we can, say, hey, well who wouldn't want to be?

326
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:35.000
<v Speaker 2>KING i don't. Know there's a lot of responsibility with.

327
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 2>That the whole nation turned on the. King which way

328
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.880
<v Speaker 2>did he go the nation? With and they were judged.

329
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Accordingly there was a lot of responsibility in. There it's

330
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 2>kind of Like, daddy the decisions up to, you what

331
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 2>DO i? Do So david rested in this Because david

00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Speaker 2>had a relationship With.

333
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 1>God Seek saul did not.

334
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Remember the earlier example where they had only one sword

335
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.039
<v Speaker 2>and one spear And saul was getting out in front

336
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Of god and did what he was told not to

337
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 2>do because he.

338
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Panicked you, know he had no relationship With. God he

339
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>was out of step With.

340
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:27.839
<v Speaker 2>God Now i'm a side note, here just just a

341
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 2>query for a question for you to ask. Yourself do

<v Speaker 1>Good we're. Good not.

429
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Necessarily, See david lived his life in a way that

430
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>he did not.

431
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Hesitate but it wasn't.

432
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Something that was just at that, moment something that rose

433
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 2>up in him to do.

434
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:45.839
<v Speaker 1>This, no it was his entire life and his. Lifestyle, Daniel.

435
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Daniel is taken away in captivity and he's over. There

436
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 2>remember he's he's, young he's in his, teens and and

437
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:57.160
<v Speaker 2>he makes this. Stand i'm not gonna eat from The king's.

438
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Table in other, Words i'm not gonna compromise as. Myself

439
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.599
<v Speaker 2>these are unclean.

440
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Foods this is stuff cooked in an inappropriate way from

441
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:09.039
<v Speaker 1>The jewish, religion from the commandments Of. GOD i refused

442
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to compromise, myself and they made a. Stand and you

443
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:13.799
<v Speaker 1>know the.

444
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Story right after a certain amount of, time they gauged

445
00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 2>them and they were in better, health, stronger better persona

446
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:21.759
<v Speaker 2>than the people who ate from the king's rations and

447
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.359
<v Speaker 2>the way the king. Ate and so but you see

448
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.519
<v Speaker 2>at a young age That daniel has made this, stand

449
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>and the next time he needed to make a, stand

450
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.119
<v Speaker 2>it was, easier and the.

451
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Next time he could do.

452
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.279
<v Speaker 2>It why because future expectation is based on past. Experience

453
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:39.519
<v Speaker 2>so if my past experience With god is, strong And

454
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.119
<v Speaker 2>i've got a good relationship there And i've maintained that relationship,

455
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>there my future expectation What god is going to do

456
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:47.359
<v Speaker 2>is bold And i'm confident in.

457
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.480
<v Speaker 1>It but if it's not And i've neglected, that Then

458
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 1>i'm not.

459
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:58.839
<v Speaker 2>See and then When daniel was an old, man the

460
00:29:58.920 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 2>king issues in need.

461
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>It you only you got to pray to. Me you

462
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.279
<v Speaker 1>can't pray to this Other. God don't pray to.

463
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Him so what the word says Is daniel went to

464
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:15.799
<v Speaker 2>his quarters or his room and opened his windows facing

465
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Towards jerusalem and prayed.

466
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:18.279
<v Speaker 1>As was his.

467
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Custom now that some people estimated he's in his nineties

468
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:22.359
<v Speaker 2>at this.

469
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>TIME i don't, know but he's an old.

470
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Man and so they went to and, said, aha, Gotcha

471
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 2>King daniel did. It. Well the king's torn up because

472
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:39.519
<v Speaker 2>he knows he's got to stand by his decree because

473
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 2>in those, times the decree of the king could not be,

474
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.519
<v Speaker 2>revoked not.

475
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Even by the king. Himself that was the issue With

476
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 1>esther because he had issued a decree to kill all The.

477
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Jews so Once haymon is, removed she gets the king

478
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>to issue a second decree that allows The jews to defend.

479
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Themselves and so that's the way you could counter. It.

480
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Man she was, sharp and so the king issued that

481
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>nobody attacked The jews because The jews they didn't have

482
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.079
<v Speaker 1>to take, it they could fight.

483
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Back, well so this king knows he's got to Allow

484
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:15.000
<v Speaker 2>daniel to be casting the lions then and he goes

485
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 2>out the next, Morning, Oh, Daniel daniel was Your god

486
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker 2>able to deliver. You rest, easy, O. King he sent

487
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:23.200
<v Speaker 2>some angels and close.

488
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.599
<v Speaker 1>The mouths of the.

489
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Lions that doesn't just occur because this huge faith rose

490
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 2>up in him at that. Moment that occurred because of

491
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:40.119
<v Speaker 2>a lifetime of habits of maintaining a relationship With.

492
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>God see WHAT i mean? Here we need to be

493
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 1>developing that in our own lives and in the lives

494
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:49.680
<v Speaker 1>of our. Children these, Things.

495
00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay so his future expectations were based on his past.

496
00:31:54.759 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Experience so verse thirty, eight let's look at that thirty

497
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.240
<v Speaker 2>eight and thirty. Nine Then saul Dressed david in his own.

498
00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Tunic he put a coat of armor on him and

499
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:09.519
<v Speaker 2>a bronze helmet on his. Head david fastened on his

500
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.319
<v Speaker 2>sword over the tunic and tried walking around because he

501
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>wasn't used to. Them now he's putting on a grown man's.

502
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Armor remember Who saul was taller than anybody else in the, kingdom.

503
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Bigger so here you got a seventeen eighteen year old

504
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.160
<v Speaker 2>kid that's got this big man stuff on.

505
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Him can you see? Him he kind of looked like

506
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a hobbit trying to.

507
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Dress and and you, know In strider's armor or.

508
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Something so he takes him. Off he says he can't use.

509
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:39.559
<v Speaker 1>HIM i can't do. THAT i.

510
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.839
<v Speaker 2>CAN'T i can't it's too. BIG i can't do. That

511
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.359
<v Speaker 2>but let me tell you the significance of that. One

512
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.039
<v Speaker 2>and this is the third Point i'll get to that

513
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>here's significance in. This if he had trusted In, saul

514
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:07.319
<v Speaker 2>the symbolism of Taking saul's, protection Said, GOD i don't

515
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:07.680
<v Speaker 2>need your.

516
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:08.720
<v Speaker 1>PROTECTION i got.

517
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Salt and if you go through the history Of, Israel

518
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:21.799
<v Speaker 2>god is constantly disciplining the nation because they made treaties

519
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 2>with the nations and peoples around. Them When judah is

520
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.440
<v Speaker 2>in danger of being overrun By, BABYLON i think it

521
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Was jeremiah goes to the king and he, says, hey

522
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>don't make a pact With egypt Against.

523
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Babylon Accept babylon's. Rule it'll be.

524
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay god will, Say jerusalem if you do, this but

525
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.960
<v Speaker 2>if you make a pact With, egypt you're gonna Lose.

526
00:33:56.039 --> 00:34:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Jerusalem the kings were constantly, okay wait a, minute A

527
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>syria is really, big they're really. Bad let's make a

528
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.799
<v Speaker 2>pact With egypt so we don't have to do, this

529
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:09.480
<v Speaker 2>or make a pact with this country and that other

530
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:14.880
<v Speaker 2>country against this. Country instead of Saying, god we need

531
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:19.239
<v Speaker 2>your sovereign, protection we need your sovereign direction and blessing

532
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:19.800
<v Speaker 2>on what we're.

533
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Doing, see that's what constantly one of the things main

534
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 1>things that kept them in. Trouble and, See, david it

535
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:29.840
<v Speaker 1>almost does that puts it, on doesn't fit not.

536
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 2>GOOD i don't want, that you, KNOW i THINK i

537
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Think I'm i'm Gonna i'm gonna reject.

<v Speaker 1>That thank you very. Much NOW i got them out

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:43.719
<v Speaker 1>of order, There, carol that's that's That's i'm gonna make this.

540
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>One number.

541
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Three separate yourself from the. Unfaithful saul's faith wasn't in The.

542
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Lord he gave lip service to. It he wanted to

543
00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:59.480
<v Speaker 2>hear From, god so he had to rely on the.

544
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:05.679
<v Speaker 2>Prophet but you know what that relationship, issue it's either

545
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:13.679
<v Speaker 2>With god or. Not and who you draw that relationship

546
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:16.559
<v Speaker 2>with is going to have a major impact on the

547
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:20.039
<v Speaker 2>outcome of what you're. Doing it has a big influence

548
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:21.000
<v Speaker 2>on everything that goes.

549
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:31.880
<v Speaker 1>On we don't need to be allied with unfaithful. People New.

550
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:36.119
<v Speaker 2>Testament what fellowship does light have with? Darkness don't be unequally.

551
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:42.719
<v Speaker 2>Yoked those are reasons because what happens is it dilutes

552
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:44.559
<v Speaker 2>our relationship with The.

553
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Lord that's the danger of.

554
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 2>It it draws us. Away it's what happened With, SAUL

555
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:54.400
<v Speaker 2>i Mean, solomon he had all these wives and and

556
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:58.760
<v Speaker 2>and and they drew his attention from The lord ind

557
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.840
<v Speaker 2>he started worshiping with him in There, Gods.

558
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.880
<v Speaker 1>So withdraw from the.

559

00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:43.320
<v Speaker 1>unbelief that's not an act of.

621
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Faith What gideon did was he, said, Okay, god you

712
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.079

00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:58.440
<v Speaker 2>nine feet nine inches, tall nine feet nine inches, tall

714

00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Story but it's just too good just to Tell let,

721
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Me i'm gonna do this.

722
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Real quickly verse forty.

723
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Eight as The philistine moved closer to, Attacking david ran

724
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:42.440
<v Speaker 2>quickly toward the battle line the, meeting reaching into his

725
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:45.159
<v Speaker 2>bag and taking out a. Stone he slung it and

726
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:50.000
<v Speaker 2>struck The philistine on the. FOREHEAD i hear the stone

727
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.199
<v Speaker 2>sank into his forehead and he fell face down on the.

728
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Ground So david triumphed over The philistine with a sling

729
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:58.079
<v Speaker 2>and a, stone without a sword in his. Hand he

730
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:02.039
<v Speaker 2>struck down The philistine and killed. Him david ran and

731
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:04.880
<v Speaker 2>stood over. Him he took hold of The philistine's sword

732
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 2>drew it from the. Sheet it must have been all

733
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.880
<v Speaker 2>he could. Do after he killed, him he cut off his.

734
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Head with the.

735
00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Sword when The philistines saw that the hero was, dead

736
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:15.840
<v Speaker 2>they turned and.

737
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Ran now what's this? Then and this just like?

738
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.400
<v Speaker 2>It then the men Of israel And judah surged forward

739
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:26.039
<v Speaker 2>with a shout and pursued The philistines to the entrance Of.

740
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Gath and to the gates Of. Akron they're.

741
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Dead were strewn along The shahan road To gath In.

742
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Akron when The israelites returned from chasing The, philistines they

743
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:43.599
<v Speaker 2>plundered their. Camp so everything That david said is what.

744
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Happened those those.

745
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Five points are, important but they all rest in the.

746
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Fact that we have a relationship With god and we
