What if steadfast faith could unlock a realm of divine wisdom and favor amidst life's greatest challenges? Join us as we journey through the Book of Daniel, unraveling stories of unyielding belief and obedience during Daniel's captivity in Babylon. We explore how Daniel's resolute adherence to spiritual principles led not only to the interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's enigmatic dream but also to revelations that surpassed the wisdom of the kingdom's greatest minds. This episode promises to illuminate the profound power of prayer and faith, encouraging us to trust in the divine for unseen possibilities, as Jeremiah 33:3 assures.
As we navigate the rise of humanism and man worship in Western civilization, we reflect on the cultural transition from a Creator-centered worldview to one dominated by human achievements. While celebrating progress in science and culture, such as the extraordinary James Webb telescope, we caution against idolizing these accomplishments at the expense of spiritual devotion. By drawing parallels to ancient Babylon, we underscore the importance of scripture as the true source of wisdom, urging a return to values that honor divine creation over human vanity.
The tales of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego serve as enduring testaments to faith's power over earthly influence. Through their story and others, we envision a world where spiritual quickening leads to global transformation, with leaders embracing worship and faith over idolatry and power. From historical events to biblical narratives, we examine how divine intervention can turn the tide of human affairs, emphasizing the hope for redemption and the potential for a transformative spiritual shift in today's world.

00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:01.560
Well, praise the Lord.
00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:02.382
Praise the Lord.
00:00:02.382 --> 00:00:11.368
We are in the book of Daniel, talking through this book concerning the Judea amen and took them back to Babylon.
00:00:11.368 --> 00:00:29.167
But it was because God permitted it.
00:00:29.167 --> 00:00:39.575
As we talked about the last time, the children of Israel had not observed the Sabbath year for 70 Sabbath years or 490 years.
00:00:39.575 --> 00:00:42.225
They had failed to keep the Sabbath year.
00:00:42.225 --> 00:00:43.688
They weren't counting.
00:00:43.688 --> 00:01:08.322
But God was Amen and he took them into captivity for 70 years so that the land would lie fallow and recuperate and redeem the years that they had allowed it to or had abused what God had told them to do, abused what God had told them to do.
00:01:08.322 --> 00:01:28.829
And then, the last time we were together, we talked about how the first miracle that God did for Daniel and for his friends Shadrach, meshach and Abednego, was that Daniel petitioned the master of the eunuchs to allow him to eat only vegetables and water for 10 days and, at the end of the 10 days, inspect him and see what had happened.
00:01:28.829 --> 00:01:51.409
Well, not only did his face, his countenance, his appearance look better, but when the king interrogated him, the Bible says he was 10 times more wise than all of the magicians and sorcerers, wise than all of the magicians and sorcerers, god had given him one level of multiplication for every day that he had sacrificed.
00:01:51.409 --> 00:01:56.165
Amen, think of what it says that one can put a thousand to flight, two can put 10,000 to flight.
00:01:56.165 --> 00:02:00.221
It's that kind of multiplication thing that God did for Daniel.
00:02:00.221 --> 00:02:05.992
Not only that, but he put Daniel in charge, gave him a promotion and put him in charge.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.524
Then we went to the second chapter.
00:02:08.524 --> 00:02:21.143
We learned about the dream that God gave Nebuchadnezzar, about the wonderful man, the man who had a head of gold, the torso of silver, legs of brass and feet of iron and clay.
00:02:21.143 --> 00:02:30.546
Daniel was the only one in the kingdom that could tell the king what he had dreamed and what the interpretation was.
00:02:30.546 --> 00:02:41.507
And in the midst of exterminating that whole class of people, daniel came to their defense and gave the king his explanation.
00:02:41.507 --> 00:02:54.231
In the first case, we found out that what we need to do when the enemy comes in and he will come in, he has come in is to not allow ourselves to be defiled.
00:02:54.231 --> 00:02:55.901
That was what Daniel did.
00:02:55.901 --> 00:03:00.568
He refused to be defiled by the things that belong to the king.
00:03:00.568 --> 00:03:14.455
Amen, and that's that commitment to separation and consecration and and to withdraw from the things that are enticing and embrace those things that are only of God.
00:03:14.455 --> 00:03:19.104
Amen Caused him to become the head and not the tail.
00:03:19.104 --> 00:03:22.752
Praise God, hallelujah, glory to Jesus.
00:03:22.752 --> 00:03:33.091
Daniel, when he interpreted the dream, was not content to go the way of the others and seek the easy way out.
00:03:33.091 --> 00:03:34.393
The easy way out was King.
00:03:34.393 --> 00:03:37.223
Tell me the dream and I'll tell you the interpretation.
00:03:37.223 --> 00:03:43.542
But Daniel stood boldly and had confidence in his God, amen.
00:03:43.542 --> 00:03:50.588
And he said wait, I'll be back in a day or so, I'll give you the, I'll give you the dream, I'll give you the interpretation.
00:03:50.588 --> 00:03:52.300
And he hadn't even prayed yet.
00:03:52.300 --> 00:04:00.805
He had such confidence in his God that he knew that God was going to give him what he needed to deliver his people.
00:04:00.805 --> 00:04:03.852
Praise God, hallelujah, praise God.
00:04:03.891 --> 00:04:08.522
A lot of people want to know what it is they're going to pray for.
00:04:08.522 --> 00:04:12.376
I've been preaching this now for almost five years.
00:04:12.376 --> 00:04:21.889
Actually, I've been preaching it longer than that, but I've been preaching it with a distinct point of attack, and that is we have to learn how to pray things that we don't know.
00:04:21.889 --> 00:04:25.634
I'm not saying that we have to pray for things that we don't know how they work.
00:04:25.634 --> 00:04:27.430
You that we have to pray for things that we don't know how they work.
00:04:27.430 --> 00:04:30.014
You may want to pray for somebody to be healed of cancer.
00:04:30.014 --> 00:04:32.024
You haven't got a clue how that's going to work.
00:04:32.024 --> 00:04:37.584
You don't know how God heals that, other than the fact that he casts cancer out and puts good cells back.
00:04:37.584 --> 00:04:40.110
But you don't know the how, amen.
00:04:40.110 --> 00:04:42.199
But you do know what you're praying for.
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:43.242
You're praying for somebody to be healed.
00:04:43.242 --> 00:04:44.802
You're praying for somebody to be healed.
00:04:44.802 --> 00:04:46.964
You're praying for somebody to be delivered.
00:04:46.964 --> 00:04:48.427
You're praying for somebody to be saved.
00:04:48.427 --> 00:04:50.028
You're praying for a house to be protected.
00:04:50.028 --> 00:04:51.730
You're praying for the storm to pass by.
00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:53.791
You're praying for gas to be in your car.
00:04:53.791 --> 00:04:54.213
You're praying.
00:04:54.213 --> 00:04:58.177
You know all these kinds of things that we pray for, right, praying for kids.
00:04:58.177 --> 00:05:00.221
I mean, we do that a lot.
00:05:00.221 --> 00:05:00.322
Pray.
00:05:00.322 --> 00:05:02.226
We know what we're praying for.
00:05:02.708 --> 00:05:04.430
God comes to you and says I want you to pray.
00:05:04.430 --> 00:05:06.322
What's the first thing we're going to say?
00:05:06.322 --> 00:05:07.608
What do you want me to pray about?
00:05:07.608 --> 00:05:19.802
God wants to take you into realms where God says I don't know yet, I'm creating it, I'm making it, I am pulling it together with your faith and my faith.
00:05:19.802 --> 00:05:21.884
Let's pray, let's do this.
00:05:21.884 --> 00:05:25.209
But you say well, lord, I don't know, but your faith knows.
00:05:25.209 --> 00:05:27.211
See, your faith comes from God.
00:05:27.211 --> 00:05:39.422
Your faith isn't saying we got to get out of this realm where our faith it's our faith, it's not our faith, it's never been our faith.
00:05:39.442 --> 00:05:40.103
Daniel had a reality on this.
00:05:40.103 --> 00:05:43.569
I don't know how Daniel did all this, because Daniel operates like a man who is full of the Holy Ghost.
00:05:43.569 --> 00:05:44.151
Amen.
00:05:44.151 --> 00:05:50.730
Even the king said that, daniel, you're a man, that that the spirit of God lives in over to God.
00:05:50.730 --> 00:05:51.670
Hallelujah.
00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:52.973
We have to know.
00:05:52.973 --> 00:05:55.324
We have to know that we can.
00:05:55.324 --> 00:05:58.350
We are just, since God is in us.
00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:05.410
We can pray just like God does, and he calls those things that are not as though they are, amen.
00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:10.651
But in the calling of things that are not, we have to be ready to pray for things that we don't know.
00:06:10.651 --> 00:06:18.600
Jeremiah 33 and 3 says call upon me and I'll answer thee and I'll show thee great and mighty things that you do not know.
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.369
Amen, praise God.
00:06:22.369 --> 00:06:26.216
You can't finish that statement without saying you have to.
00:06:26.216 --> 00:06:37.182
That's the primary purpose of praying in tongues is to enter into a realm that you don't know, and yet it can produce things that are seen.
00:06:37.182 --> 00:06:44.252
The Bible says that the things that are seen were made out of the things that were unseen Amen.
00:06:44.252 --> 00:06:54.714
So that which we see by faith and produce by faith came out of a realm of unseen with natural eyes, but it can be seen by faith.
00:06:54.714 --> 00:06:57.245
Hallelujah, are you hearing this?
00:06:57.245 --> 00:06:58.470
Praise God.
00:06:58.509 --> 00:07:05.932
So let's go to chapter three, where we find, in verse one, that Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold.
00:07:05.932 --> 00:07:12.880
Now, if I ask you and I'm not going to ask you this because you know it's one of those trick questions, amen.
00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:23.031
But if I ask you what that image was, almost everyone would say that's an image of Nebuchadnezzar, and it very well may be, but the Bible never says that.
00:07:23.031 --> 00:07:29.627
They always say, very carefully, that the king made an image of gold and set it up.
00:07:29.627 --> 00:07:36.446
And then they gave the commandment to fall down and worship the gold image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
00:07:36.446 --> 00:07:47.982
It was never said what this image was, whether it's an image of a calf, whether it's an image of another false god, whether it's an image of himself.
00:07:47.982 --> 00:07:49.764
We really don't know.
00:07:49.764 --> 00:07:59.526
But we do know this that it was raised up and it was commanded to be worshipped at the king's instruction.
00:07:59.526 --> 00:08:01.367
The king having the power over life and death.
00:08:01.367 --> 00:08:07.634
The king having the power over life and death, had the power to command obedience.
00:08:07.634 --> 00:08:13.120
Amen, this man.
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:21.420
And this is the essence of what's going on in the book of Daniel and why we're studying it in some detail is because the point of attack here, the Antichrist point of attack, is on man worship, amen.
00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:24.605
If you want to know why that's important, amen.
00:08:24.625 --> 00:08:34.975
For 150 years, humanism has gradually been creeping in to the fabric of Western civilization.
00:08:34.975 --> 00:08:36.220
It was never there before.
00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:45.552
We never had this haughty idea of ourselves that we were in any way, shape or form equivalent to the Creator.
00:08:45.552 --> 00:08:54.820
You may not have a overly aggressive faith in Jesus, but at least you probably believed that there was a Creator.
00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:56.724
We have dispensed with that.
00:08:56.724 --> 00:09:10.683
We have dispensed with the notion that there is a Creator, and somehow we have put ourselves in the place of being the most exalted form of intelligence on the planet.
00:09:10.683 --> 00:09:12.749
Glory to God, Hallelujah.
00:09:12.908 --> 00:09:14.011
It's all over the place.
00:09:14.011 --> 00:09:21.134
It's in the way we educate children, it's in our schools, it's in our universities, it's in our science systems.
00:09:21.134 --> 00:09:36.235
I mean, they've got capabilities that can look backwards in time, backwards in distance, just amazing telescopes that can see all over the fabric of the universe.
00:09:36.235 --> 00:09:44.573
And yet the men that did it are more enthralled with the things that they see and the instruments that they've made.
00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:55.581
We may not be raising up golden statues on the plane of Babylon, but we're raising up the James Webb telescope, which is an amazing thing.
00:09:55.581 --> 00:09:57.645
There's nothing you know.
00:09:57.645 --> 00:10:01.681
We should be proud that we've done that, amen, we shouldn't worship it.
00:10:01.681 --> 00:10:22.695
And if it leads us to the conclusion that we are wise beyond all wisdom because we have created this wonderful gadget that can see millions of years into the past, amen, and the whole discussion, we're skipping the discussion of who made all this.
00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:29.826
The further back you go, if it doesn't amaze you more about our God, you're missing the point.
00:10:29.826 --> 00:10:33.653
Because the point is in Romans, the first chapter.
00:10:33.653 --> 00:10:39.070
He said that all of this was created so that you would know I am God.
00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:41.280
So it doesn't matter how you look at it.
00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:58.408
If you look at it out on a clear night, in the middle of a desert in winter, and you can look up and you can see thousands of stars, if you give glory to God, amen, you are obeying God in what he did to draw you to him.
00:10:58.828 --> 00:11:19.490
If you look up and you say some other God did that, or those are a bunch of gods up there and they're doing different things, or some other stupid idea that you came up with, instead you have exchanged the truth of God, the reality of God for the unreality of your own mind.
00:11:19.490 --> 00:11:25.730
Now, when I say that humanism has been exalted, people don't have that argument anymore.
00:11:25.730 --> 00:11:28.644
They don't even know what you're talking about.
00:11:28.644 --> 00:11:35.644
When you say you have exchanged the truth of God for the truth of some created thing, what does that mean?
00:11:35.644 --> 00:11:36.769
They don't have a clue.
00:11:36.769 --> 00:11:42.168
They don't have a clue what that means, because the truth of God is not a factor.
00:11:42.168 --> 00:11:43.731
They don't even care.
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:59.172
But I'm going to tell you one thing If I believe Romans 8 and 1, that there is therefore now no condemnation for them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit, for the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
00:11:59.172 --> 00:12:04.587
If I'm going to believe that, I'm going to believe the first chapter, because if I don't believe the first chapter, I can't believe the eighth.
00:12:04.587 --> 00:12:07.354
And I better believe the eighth or I'm in sad shape.
00:12:07.354 --> 00:12:11.285
Glory to God, we're hooking on to this.
00:12:11.285 --> 00:12:19.144
Praise God, this humanism or this worship of man has been so exalted in our culture.
00:12:19.144 --> 00:12:21.947
I have a hard time getting away with it.
00:12:21.947 --> 00:12:36.354
The only way you can move away from that is to stay in this, in this Bible for your and for the revelation that comes from it to be your source of information.
00:12:36.354 --> 00:12:38.523
Hello, now I'm not gonna.
00:12:38.523 --> 00:12:39.865
I don't know who that was.
00:12:39.865 --> 00:12:44.270
It may vary If it's, if it's 90, it's almost 100 feet tall.
00:12:44.711 --> 00:12:46.274
The statue of gold.
00:12:46.274 --> 00:12:47.535
They had a lot of money.
00:12:47.535 --> 00:12:54.506
Whoever came in and took over Babylon and got that statue, they went to the bank that day.
00:12:54.506 --> 00:12:59.671
Glory to God, you can finance wars for a thousand years with that thing.
00:12:59.671 --> 00:13:03.009
That's how much wealth they had.
00:13:03.009 --> 00:13:13.831
This culture, this government, this state was the most powerful in the world in technology, in arts, in their power, in their military.
00:13:13.831 --> 00:13:15.052
Glory to God.
00:13:15.052 --> 00:13:19.506
And so they raised up this statue 90 feet tall.
00:13:19.506 --> 00:13:23.134
90 to 100 feet tall, 60 cubits, that's about 90 feet.
00:13:23.134 --> 00:13:29.866
100 feet tall, 60 cubits, that's about 90 feet, and six cubits wide, which is about 20 feet.
00:13:29.866 --> 00:13:32.553
So from here to there is how wide it is, and it's nine to ten stories high.
00:13:32.553 --> 00:13:33.636
Praise God.
00:13:33.636 --> 00:13:36.645
And they commanded peoples, nations and languages.
00:13:37.148 --> 00:13:44.705
At the time you shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music.
00:13:44.705 --> 00:13:48.149
You shall fall down and worship the gold image.
00:13:48.149 --> 00:13:50.552
Now Let me tell you something.
00:13:50.552 --> 00:13:56.292
Not only do they fall down and worship, but in this day and age they bring offerings.
00:13:56.292 --> 00:13:58.638
Oh yeah, you know you want to go see one of these.
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:00.982
Let me get real personal.
00:14:00.982 --> 00:14:08.557
You want to go see one of these top Christian music groups, you better get the better part of $500 out of your wallet.
00:14:08.557 --> 00:14:14.734
And if you want to take your wife or your sweetheart, you better get the better part of $1,000 out of your wallet.
00:14:14.734 --> 00:14:20.922
And if you can tell me that you can see Jesus or Paul doing that, then I'll call it a worship service.
00:14:20.922 --> 00:14:28.277
Otherwise we're going to call it Christian entertainment and high-priced Christian entertainment.
00:14:28.437 --> 00:14:31.283
Oh, now see, I'm all over the sacred cows of Christianity.
00:14:31.283 --> 00:14:32.816
And that's exactly what they are.
00:14:32.816 --> 00:14:37.015
They're sacred cows, they're a form of this statue.
00:14:37.015 --> 00:14:39.422
Does anybody pay attention?
00:14:39.422 --> 00:14:48.321
You cannot worship the statue that man has made without the association of a lot of music.
00:14:48.321 --> 00:14:49.503
Listen to the music that.
00:14:49.503 --> 00:14:55.962
They had Horns, they had flutes, they had harps, they had lyres, they had singers.
00:14:55.962 --> 00:14:58.855
They had a symphony of music.
00:14:58.855 --> 00:15:03.251
They didn't have a cacophony of music, they didn't have just a bunch of sound.
00:15:03.251 --> 00:15:08.482
They had a well-orchestrated symphony of different sound.
00:15:08.482 --> 00:15:13.980
They were you know what they were celebrating their differences.
00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:19.076
That happened right there on that spot in Babylon, when God cursed the tower.
00:15:19.076 --> 00:15:29.642
Now, when the music comes, you're going to fall down and you're going to worship this thing that the king of Babylon has raised up.
00:15:29.642 --> 00:15:53.277
You got to understand that this king of Babylon is no slouch amen, and he is king over the seat that yet to this day, bears the name of everything that is evil, sexually perverted, anti-Christ, anti-god, anti-good.
00:15:53.277 --> 00:16:01.235
Everything that is associated with that which is not God comes out of Babylon, yet to this day.
00:16:01.716 --> 00:16:14.841
I was reading as background information about in 1815, I believe it was a group of Europeans went to Babylon and were retrieving relics.
00:16:14.841 --> 00:16:18.895
They would take those relics and take them back and put them in the museums in Europe, right?
00:16:18.895 --> 00:16:20.961
So they got all this stuff.
00:16:20.961 --> 00:16:32.191
They had bunches of stuff, tons of stuff, and they had it on these ships and they were going to float these ships down the river and get it to the ocean and they were going to go back and take it to Europe, right?
00:16:32.191 --> 00:16:39.317
And some river pirates got a hold of them and sank the ships and they never got that stuff back to Europe.
00:16:39.317 --> 00:16:52.575
It wasn't very long ago that the Japanese are trying to salvage that stuff out of the bottom of the river, and it's been 2,500 years?
00:16:52.575 --> 00:16:53.937
Why?
00:16:53.937 --> 00:16:59.530
Because they know there's power associated with some of those things.
00:16:59.530 --> 00:17:04.121
They know they're not just treasure hunters, they're power hunters.
00:17:04.121 --> 00:17:08.837
Let me tell you something that you don't know.
00:17:08.837 --> 00:17:12.270
David may know this, but the rest of you probably don't know that.
00:17:12.270 --> 00:17:12.531
Amen.
00:17:12.973 --> 00:17:16.432
The name Babylon has an interesting meaning.
00:17:16.432 --> 00:17:17.615
You know what it means.
00:17:17.615 --> 00:17:34.939
It means gates of the gods, and legend has it that in the primary zougarnath, which is this pyramid-shaped building that was in the middle of Babylon, down in the very core of that building, is a Stargate.
00:17:34.939 --> 00:17:43.663
Current legend has it that that's why we went to war with Iraq, because they had found it and they were trying to energize it.
00:17:43.663 --> 00:17:46.114
They were trying to turn it on.
00:17:46.114 --> 00:18:00.561
Now, if you think that 10 years of Stargate television shows were an accident, they're trying to prepare you to understand that these things are real.
00:18:00.561 --> 00:18:02.089
They called Babylon the gate of the gods.
00:18:02.089 --> 00:18:08.555
There was a gate there over the ones that knew how to operate, so that what?
00:18:08.555 --> 00:18:10.032
Who came through the gate?
00:18:10.032 --> 00:18:12.461
Instead of demons, angels.
00:18:12.461 --> 00:18:28.779
They have carvings in walls and places of what happened when the three Hebrew children were thrown in and there's a fourth man behind them Looks just like the Stargate that was on TV, exactly like it.
00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:34.401
Jewish tradition has it that the same thing happened to Noah, that Noah went through the gate.
00:18:34.401 --> 00:18:39.540
Noah went through the fiery furnace and was saved, just like Daniel and his friends were.
00:18:39.540 --> 00:18:41.411
Praise God, hallelujah.
00:18:41.411 --> 00:18:43.916
These people had power.
00:18:43.916 --> 00:18:52.294
They have always been the highest of the highest, of the world-class magician.
00:18:52.294 --> 00:18:55.141
They trained the magicians in Egypt.
00:18:55.141 --> 00:19:00.019
If you wanted to go to magician school, you went to Babylon, hallelujah.
00:19:00.338 --> 00:19:03.957
So I don't know who the image was, but Nebuchadnezzar set it up.
00:19:03.957 --> 00:19:12.178
And he set it up that said that if you don't fall down and worship this thing when the music starts, I'm going to throw you in the fiery furnace.
00:19:12.178 --> 00:19:29.611
Verse 16 says that Shadrach, meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king O Nebuchadnezzar, our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us from your hand, o king.
00:19:29.611 --> 00:19:35.344
But if not, let it be known to you, o king, that we do not serve your gods.
00:19:35.344 --> 00:19:44.710
So there's a clue right there that the thing that was created and lifted up was an image of a god that was made by a man.
00:19:44.710 --> 00:19:50.458
I guarantee you that a 90-foot gold image didn't fall from heaven.
00:19:50.458 --> 00:19:52.180
I mean, this was made by man.
00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:56.306
It says repeatedly that Nebuchadnezzar set it up.
00:19:56.306 --> 00:19:57.612
Okay, so he made it.
00:19:57.612 --> 00:19:59.155
When was the last?
00:19:59.155 --> 00:20:04.035
You know, they may be good, but they're not good enough to where the thing just walks around.
00:20:04.035 --> 00:20:06.440
You know, and and you know it has life.
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:12.682
We, we will not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up, verse 22,.
00:20:13.083 --> 00:20:35.644
Therefore, because the king's command was urgent and the fire exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took Shadrach, meshach and Abednego, In other words, the people that laid hold of Shadrach, meshach and Abednego and bound them up with rope and tied them up and got ready to throw them in the furnace.
00:20:35.644 --> 00:20:41.462
They got thrown in the furnace first and they burn up right there at the edge of the furnace.
00:20:41.462 --> 00:20:44.655
And then the three Hebrew children fell into the furnace.
00:20:44.655 --> 00:20:45.759
Glory to God.
00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:49.413
I want you to look at the faith of these three men.
00:20:49.413 --> 00:20:58.461
We're believing that God is going to keep us, god is going to save us, god is going to deliver us, amen.
00:20:58.461 --> 00:21:07.621
He is well able to keep us from perishing in this fire, but if he doesn't, we're still not going to worship this thing.
00:21:07.621 --> 00:21:14.971
We would rather be burned to death than to worship your false God, hallelujah.
00:21:14.971 --> 00:21:18.757
Now I don't know if this is going to happen to us in our lifetimes.
00:21:18.757 --> 00:21:21.327
But you're going to have to make some hard decisions.
00:21:21.327 --> 00:21:23.251
You're going to have to make some hard decisions.
00:21:23.251 --> 00:21:25.656
I made hard decisions a long time ago.
00:21:25.737 --> 00:21:34.138
I heard my pastor Ship say this to me, taught me this when I was real young, he said.
00:21:34.138 --> 00:21:36.270
He said you know what he said.
00:21:36.270 --> 00:21:38.479
You can have whatever kind of ministry you want to have.
00:21:38.479 --> 00:21:47.260
He said, but just know this that whatever you do to get people to come into your church, you're going to have to do the same thing and more to keep them.
00:21:47.260 --> 00:21:49.739
So I got home and I had a conversation with the Lord.
00:21:49.739 --> 00:22:01.056
I said, lord, I said I believe what the man of God told me, but I don't know how to do anything else other than what you give me to do.
00:22:01.076 --> 00:22:02.138
I don't know how to get people in the church.
00:22:02.138 --> 00:22:02.621
I don't know how to.
00:22:02.621 --> 00:22:03.323
You know, I'm not an entertainer.
00:22:03.323 --> 00:22:04.807
I can't sing, I can't play the piano.
00:22:04.807 --> 00:22:10.115
You know I'm not flashy, I'm not, you know, pushy, I'm not, you know I.
00:22:10.115 --> 00:22:14.281
Just all I've got is a revealed word from God, he said.
00:22:14.281 --> 00:22:17.726
And I told the Lord but if you'll get behind it, I'll preach it.
00:22:17.726 --> 00:22:23.375
I'll just keep on preaching it and I'm going to let you bring whoever you want to hear it, and I'm not going to worry about it.
00:22:23.375 --> 00:22:28.261
I'm just going to keep on doing what I know to do and what you show me.
00:22:28.261 --> 00:22:32.910
That's been nearly 40 years, praise God, hallelujah.
00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:01.560
00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:02.382
00:00:02.382 --> 00:00:11.368
00:00:11.368 --> 00:00:29.167
00:00:29.167 --> 00:00:39.575
00:00:39.575 --> 00:00:42.225
00:00:42.225 --> 00:00:43.688
00:00:43.688 --> 00:01:08.322
00:01:08.322 --> 00:01:28.829
00:01:28.829 --> 00:01:51.409
00:01:51.409 --> 00:01:56.165
00:01:56.165 --> 00:02:00.221
00:02:00.221 --> 00:02:05.992
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.524
00:02:08.524 --> 00:02:21.143
00:02:21.143 --> 00:02:30.546
00:02:30.546 --> 00:02:41.507
00:02:41.507 --> 00:02:54.231
00:02:54.231 --> 00:02:55.901
00:02:55.901 --> 00:03:00.568
00:03:00.568 --> 00:03:14.455
00:03:14.455 --> 00:03:19.104
00:03:19.104 --> 00:03:22.752
00:03:22.752 --> 00:03:33.091
00:03:33.091 --> 00:03:34.393
00:03:34.393 --> 00:03:37.223
00:03:37.223 --> 00:03:43.542
00:03:43.542 --> 00:03:50.588
00:03:50.588 --> 00:03:52.300
00:03:52.300 --> 00:04:00.805
00:04:00.805 --> 00:04:03.852
00:04:03.891 --> 00:04:08.522
00:04:08.522 --> 00:04:12.376
00:04:12.376 --> 00:04:21.889
00:04:21.889 --> 00:04:25.634
00:04:25.634 --> 00:04:27.430
00:04:27.430 --> 00:04:30.014
00:04:30.014 --> 00:04:32.024
00:04:32.024 --> 00:04:37.584
00:04:37.584 --> 00:04:40.110
00:04:40.110 --> 00:04:42.199
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:43.242
00:04:43.242 --> 00:04:44.802
00:04:44.802 --> 00:04:46.964
00:04:46.964 --> 00:04:48.427
00:04:48.427 --> 00:04:50.028
00:04:50.028 --> 00:04:51.730
00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:53.791
00:04:53.791 --> 00:04:54.213
00:04:54.213 --> 00:04:58.177
00:04:58.177 --> 00:05:00.221
00:05:00.221 --> 00:05:00.322
00:05:00.322 --> 00:05:02.226
00:05:02.708 --> 00:05:04.430
00:05:04.430 --> 00:05:06.322
00:05:06.322 --> 00:05:07.608
00:05:07.608 --> 00:05:19.802
00:05:19.802 --> 00:05:21.884
00:05:21.884 --> 00:05:25.209
00:05:25.209 --> 00:05:27.211
00:05:27.211 --> 00:05:39.422
00:05:39.442 --> 00:05:40.103
00:05:40.103 --> 00:05:43.569
00:05:43.569 --> 00:05:44.151
00:05:44.151 --> 00:05:50.730
00:05:50.730 --> 00:05:51.670
00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:52.973
00:05:52.973 --> 00:05:55.324
00:05:55.324 --> 00:05:58.350
00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:05.410
00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:10.651
00:06:10.651 --> 00:06:18.600
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.369
00:06:22.369 --> 00:06:26.216
00:06:26.216 --> 00:06:37.182
00:06:37.182 --> 00:06:44.252
00:06:44.252 --> 00:06:54.714
00:06:54.714 --> 00:06:57.245
00:06:57.245 --> 00:06:58.470
00:06:58.509 --> 00:07:05.932
00:07:05.932 --> 00:07:12.880
00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:23.031
00:07:23.031 --> 00:07:29.627
00:07:29.627 --> 00:07:36.446
00:07:36.446 --> 00:07:47.982
00:07:47.982 --> 00:07:49.764
00:07:49.764 --> 00:07:59.526
00:07:59.526 --> 00:08:01.367
00:08:01.367 --> 00:08:07.634
00:08:07.634 --> 00:08:13.120
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:21.420
00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:24.605
00:08:24.625 --> 00:08:34.975
00:08:34.975 --> 00:08:36.220
00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:45.552
00:08:45.552 --> 00:08:54.820
00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:56.724
00:08:56.724 --> 00:09:10.683
00:09:10.683 --> 00:09:12.749
00:09:12.908 --> 00:09:14.011
00:09:14.011 --> 00:09:21.134
00:09:21.134 --> 00:09:36.235
00:09:36.235 --> 00:09:44.573
00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:55.581
00:09:55.581 --> 00:09:57.645
00:09:57.645 --> 00:10:01.681
00:10:01.681 --> 00:10:22.695
00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:29.826
00:10:29.826 --> 00:10:33.653
