Everything was going 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.960 great until a bolt of lightning hit the sanctuary. When 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.880 the smoke cleared, Satan himself was standing at the podium. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.880 People panicked and took off, running as fast as they could. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.880 Everyone that is, except one lady. She sat in the 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.840 front road, just as calm as can be. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.680 Satan was appalled. He said, lady, do you know who 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:08.400 I am? 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.520 She said, I sure do. He said, aren't you afraid 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.280 of me? She said not in the least bit. He 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.120 said why not? She said, why should I be? I've 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:21.840 been married to your brother for thirty years. Say it 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.720 like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.120 what it says I am. I have what it says 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.639 I have. I can do what it says I can do. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.800 Today I will be taught the word of God. I 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.920 boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.640 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:41.280 bless you. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.480 I want to talk to you today about living at rest. 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.440 Rest doesn't mean that you're on vacation and you never 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.760 do anything. We all have to work and deal with 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.960 challenges and interact with different people, but we're supposed to 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.400 do it from a place of peace, not stress, stylet, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:05.079 worried and fighting everything that we don't like. Hebrews four 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.359 tells us to enter into the rest of God. That's 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.040 a place where we know God's in control. We know 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.960 he's fighting our battles. But here's the key. Once you 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.519 enter this rest, you're not going to automatically stay there. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.560 Life is full of peace dealers. 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.000 There will always be people and circumstances trying to pull 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.280 you out. If you're going to live in peace, you 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.880 have to put up some boundaries and not allow everything 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.360 in You can't watch the news twenty four hours a 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.280 day and expect to stay at rest. Your mind wasn't 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.280 meant to take in all the tragedies, accidents, killings, over 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:45.800 and over. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.280 That's going to pull you out of rest. Do yourself 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.440 a favor, turn it off. Be careful what you feed 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:54.480 your inner person. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.240 If you watch all the news about the price of 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.760 oil going down and they offs and banks, it's going 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.600 to cause you to live stressed out, worried. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:04.200 On edge. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.960 You can't feed on negativity and discouragement and expect to 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.400 stay positive. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:10.800 And faith filled. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.240 I like to watch the news, of course, to know 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.799 what's going on in the world, But after about fifteen minutes, 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.400 I've learned everything I need to know. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.479 I don't keep taking it in again and again. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.719 The twenty four hour news. Most of that repeats every 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.960 thirty minutes. It was designed for people flipping on and off, 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:31.799 not to watch over and over. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:33.880 Put on some good news. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.440 Feed your inner person, encouraging things that build you up 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.760 and cause you to say positive, hopeful and inspired. One 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.279 Friday night, Victoria and I went to watch this movie 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.080 about a war. 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:48.919 It was very violent. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.880 Heads were being blown off and people being tortured and 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.120 families ripped apart. And I went in there in peace, 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.279 simply wanting to be entertained. But when I left, I 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.440 was on edge. Jah felt like I had been run 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.880 over by a truck. That whole night, I. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.719 Dreamed I was in the middle of that war. Victoria 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.120 kept waking me up. Joe, you're having a nightmare. Wake up. 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.640 What we take in through our eyes and ears eventually 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.360 gets into our subconscious mind. If you're taking in all 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.839 the negative violence, discouragement. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.000 That's going to depress your spirit. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.840 The next day, I had to get up and finish 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.200 preparing my message for Saturday night, and I learned my lesson. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.200 I can't take that in the night before and. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.520 Be my best the next day. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.000 You need to be aware of what's pulling you out 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:37.880 of that rest. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:39.919 Sometimes it's our own choices. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.480 If you get on social media and you're constantly comparing 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.839 your life to everyone else's, that's going to discourage you. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.279 You'll never feel good about who you are as long 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.560 as you're competing with others, because there'll always be somebody 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.400 more beautiful, more talented, more successful. 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.080 That's a peace stealer. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.240 Put up a boundary and say I am not going 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:08.960 to live in somebody else's world, obsessed with what they're doing, 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.320 where they're going, what they're eating, what they're driving. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.279 I'm gonna run my own race. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.240 Listen, you can miss your destiny caught up in somebody 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:22.239 else's life. Successful people are too focused on their own 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.520 race to look around to see what everybody else is doing. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.159 Quick comparing it'll pull you out of your rest. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.919 I say this respectfully, but some people are peace stealers. 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.840 They're high maintenance. They're always having a problem. Every time 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.440 they call, they're having a major crisis. They expect you 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.719 to come running to bail them out, to encourage them. 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.160 To keep them fixed. They're good people. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.840 You love them, but you shouldn't allow them to continually 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.440 dump their problems on you. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.440 If you don't put up a. 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.400 Boundary, they won't be the only one unhappy. You'll end 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.800 up unhappy. And I'm all for helping people, loving them, 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:07.120 taking time to care, But some people won't deal with 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.920 their own issues as long as they can dump it 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:10.320 on you. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:12.560 That's the easy way out. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.720 As long as you'll bail them out, you feel sorry 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.040 for them, you let them unload their burdens, they'll do 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.679 it again and again. What they're doing is they dump 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.000 it all on you, and then they go home and 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.880 go to bed, while you stay up and worry. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.680 About what are we going to do about this? Here's 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:30.320 what I'm saying. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.480 It's easy to take on a false sense of responsibility 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.320 where you jump every time they call, try to keep 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:43.440 them fixed. But you are not responsible for other people's happiness. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.280 Don't let their unhappiness keep. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.760 You from being happy. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.720 I don't know about you, but I have enough drama 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.400 in my own life. I don't need somebody else's drama. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.520 If they won't make good decisions, if they want to 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.559 live upset, bidter, offended in a christ that's this mode. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.800 That's their choice. You can't stop that. But you shouldn't 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.160 let them control you and make you feel guilty if 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.040 you don't help and let them call you all hours 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.480 of the day. You are not a garbage can. You 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.480 have to protect your peace like a business. You need 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.840 to have hours of operation, times when you're open, times 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.960 when you're closed. I'm open for them from two to 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.360 four in the afternoon, when they call you at eight 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.560 o'clock at night, when you're in peace, spending time with 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.680 your family, enjoying your children. That phone rings, Normally you'd 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.240 rush over and answer it, get all up tight, No 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.880 next time, Sorry, not open for business right now, you mean, Joel, 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.520 don't answer the phone. Yes, that's why God created voicemail. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.520 Don't let their crisis steal your peace. 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.319 Have you noticed some people are alarmist. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.880 Everything is a major problem, a major They need you 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:01.560 right now. 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.080 Tomorrow will be too late. They have a spirit of alarm. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.840 If you don't put up a boundary, you'll get pulled in. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.680 They'll get you all stirred up, stressed out. Won't fall 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.599 into that trap. If you don't make them respect you, 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.640 you'll be dealing with this same issue twenty years from now. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.480 Your destiny is too important to let people who are 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.920 not dealing with their own issues hold you back. Recognize 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.760 that's a peace dealer. You need to make some changes. Well, Joel, 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.280 what if I hurt their feelings? 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.199 What if you miss your destiny? 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.880 God didn't call you to keep everyone happy? 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:42.640 And sure, do your part. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.640 Be a giver, go the extra mile, but don't become 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.120 a garbage dump where you allow someone to always dump 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:51.160 their burdens on you. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:52.319 That's out of balance. 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.040 You have to protect your emotional energy. You have a 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.840 limited supply each day. Taking in all this extra drama 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.480 involved in things you should never be involved in, you're 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.160 not going to have the emotional energy for what you 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.520 need for your dreams, for your children, for your assignment. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.319 I'm not saying to be selfish. I'm saying be wise. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.400 You can't fix everyone. You can't make people do what's right. 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.960 You're not called to straighten everyone out. You're not the savior. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.360 We already have a savior. 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.200 I've learned. Some people don't really want to change. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.480 They like the attention it brings to have you at 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:36.360 their becking call. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:37.320 Now. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.640 A lot of times, instead of helping them, we're really 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.439 enabling their dysfunction. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:44.760 We're doing them a disservice. 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:50.160 If you don't bail them out, maybe they'll start taking responsibility. 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.080 If they can't reach you every three minutes, maybe they'll 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:57.800 learn to encourage themselves. Life is too short to go 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.520 through it being controlled. You couldn't spend all your time 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.440 trying to straighten everybody out. Some of your relatives that 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.199 are upset with each other, they're going to be upset 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.480 thirty years from now. Don't waste your valuable time being 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.720 upset with them. They don't want to be happy, that's fine, 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.720 but don't let them keep you from being happy. Turn 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:22.920 it over to God and enjoy your life. Years ago, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.120 I had a friend that I grew up with, and 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.000 over time our passed went in different directions. I joined 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.000 the basketball team, and he got involved in other things, 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.800 and he resented the fact that I wasn't around as much, 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.679 And several times he tried to straighten me out and 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.679 told me how I wasn't giving him as much time 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.199 as I should, and why wasn't I. 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:44.760 There for him? 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.640 On and on, and I went overboard to try to 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.040 be good to him, but nothing I did was good enough. 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:52.040 I could have. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.079 Moved in and been his roommate, and he had still 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.400 found something wrong. And one day I realized he's counting 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.640 on me to try to keep him happy. Now I 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.559 already have a full time job trying to keep myself happy. 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.480 Every time he had called, I'd get up tired on edge. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:09.400 What have I done wrong? 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:10.880 Now? What does he need? 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:11.599 You know? 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.520 Of course, as a friend, you want to help people 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.000 or wanted to be responsible. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.040 But after about five years of doing this, I learned 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:19.960 what I'm telling you. 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.720 I can't reach my destiny spending all my time trying 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:25.640 to keep him happy. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:30.280 I don't have the emotional energy for all of his drama. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.000 And I say this very respectfully because he's a good man. 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.800 But I realized he's a peace dealer. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.840 I made up my mind I wasn't going to go 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.559 the next twenty years like that. I put up some boundaries. 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.520 I quit running every time he called. I quit feeling 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.240 guilty when I couldn't meet his demands. Eventually he got 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.319 upset and started talking. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.520 About me went his own way. But here's the point. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:59.400 Sometimes you have to make hard decisions to reach your destiny. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.760 My personality type is I want everybody to like me. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.880 I'll never tell you no, I want to please you. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.480 But I've learned. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:13.120 You can't fulfill your assignment trying to please everyone. If 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.720 you're trying to keep everybody around you happy, the one 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:20.480 person who will not be happy is you. Well, Joel, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.800 what if they get upset and start talking about me. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.120 They won't be the first, and they're not going to 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:25.800 be the last. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:31.080 I would rather have people upset with me than to 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.680 not become who I was created to be. If you'll 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.960 put these boundaries up, you'll live more peacefully, you'll be 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.839 more effective, and you'll move quicker. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:42.480 Into your destiny. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.520 But when you tell someone I love you, but you 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.600 can't call me every three minutes, I can't keep you 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:49.160 cheered up. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:50.559 I love you, but. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.439 I can't keep bailing you out again and again. If 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.800 they get upset, they really want your friend. They were controllers, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.000 They're a manipulator. They like you for what you can 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.680 do for them, not for who you are. You don't 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.800 need friends like that. Make a change, and God will 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:13.280 give you true friends. Here's the key. If you're doing 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.679 all the giving and never receiving, that's out of balance. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:18.800 Heart. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.840 Somebody say, if you surround yourself with people that need 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.840 you more than they feed you, then that's a red flag. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.800 The longer I live, the more I realize. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.440 The importance of having the right people in our lives. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:38.040 You won't reach the fullness of your destiny with people 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.760 that are constantly dragging you down. You're having to always 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.640 spend your time and energy keeping them fixed, keeping them encourage. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:50.280 You need people who feed you, people that inspire and 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.160 challenge you. People who are happy where you laugh and 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:59.520 have fun, people who are consistent, not living a crisis mode, moody, 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:00.240 up and down. 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:01.720 But people that are stable. 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.160 I read a study that said for every happy friend 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.200 you have, you are twenty percent more likely to be happy. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.720 If I understand this right, If you can just find 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.760 five happy friends, there's a good chance you're going to 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.280 be happy. This is what the scripture says, if you walk. 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.800 With wise people, you will become wise. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:28.760 It's true in the negative, just like the positive proverb says, 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.840 if you hang around a gossip, you'll become a gossip. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:33.720 Think of it like this. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.000 For every peacetealer you allow in your life, you are 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:42.480 twenty percent more likely to live stressed, on edge, to 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.560 have a crisis. I'm asking you to find happy friends. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.960 I'm not saying you have to cut people off never 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.200 speak to them again. I am saying you should put 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.080 up some boundaries. You don't have to make a big 0:15:56.080 --> 0:16:00.000 announcement like I did. Just little by little, spind life 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.360 less and less time with that person. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.520 If you don't get the wrong. 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.240 People out of your life, you'll never meet the right ones, 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:12.520 Especially in your inner circle. The people who are closest 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:19.520 to you need to be stable, consistent, happy, godly, responsible 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.960 people that move you towards your destiny. Like iron sharpens iron, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.880 you make each other better. And this is the reason 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.640 many people are stuck. Who do you have in your life? 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.400 What are you giving your time and energy to putting 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.520 out fires, trying to keep someone happy? Feeling guilty because 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.360 you can't meet their demands. That's going to wear you out. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.440 It's time to make a change. You can't please everyone. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.600 We see this principle with Jesus. 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:49.720 After a long day of. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.360 Teaching the people and praying for them, the scripture says 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:58.120 he left the crowds and went away to rest. There 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:02.480 were still many people that prayer, many needs that had 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.440 not been met. I'm sure some of them thought, wow, 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.240 we traveled all this way and he didn't even wait. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.160 To pray for us. He let us down. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:15.639 Jesus wasn't being rude, he wasn't overlooking needs. He was 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:20.000 taking care of himself. He knew he needed to get 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:24.159 away and get quiet so he could be refreshed and restored. 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.560 There will always be people that need you. Somebody that 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.280 needs rescuing, needs encouraging, needs your help. 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.240 If you try to meet all. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:37.240 The needs, you'll end up run down over time, even 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:42.840 burn out. Your number one priority is to keep yourself healthy. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.760 You shouldn't be pressured into doing things that you know 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.320 are going to wear you out and over time even 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:54.119 keep you from your destiny. If Jesus was willing to 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.640 walk away from needs to protect his peace to stay 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.640 at rest, then we need to be willing to walk 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.560 away from things that we know are stealing our peace. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.760 In March chapter four, the Disciples were in a boat 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.760 on the middle of a lake when a huge storm arose, 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.680 and they were so afraid and so worried. They said, somebody, 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.640 go wake Jesus up. We're going to die. Jesus, as 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.280 you know, was asleep in the hall of the boat 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.840 at rest in the middle of the storm. They came 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.200 in all frantic, Jesus, Jesus, wake up, We're about to drown. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.640 He woke up, spoke to the storm, and everything calmed down. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:39.359 What's interesting is these disciples had seen Jesus heal a 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:44.800 paralyzed man, cure the leper, do all kinds of miraculous signs. 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:49.080 You would think since they had seen the miracles and 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.520 Jesus had just told them let's go to the other 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.960 side of the lake, they would believe they would make it, 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:59.359 but doubt crept in, fear crept in. They panicked and 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.520 woke Jesus Us up. Like with these disciples, there will 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.359 always be people that try to get us out of 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:10.320 our rest. They may be good people, they may mean well, 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.760 but they tend to focus on the negative, blow things 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.760 out of proportion, see everything as a crisis. If you 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.879 allow them, they'll get you all wrought up, all stirred up. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.320 You have to put your foot down and say no, 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.000 I'm staying at rest. 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.199 Don't wake me up with your worry. 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.399 Don't wake me up with your fear, don't wake me 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.959 up with your doubt. I know God is still on 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.560 the throne. He brought me through in the past, and 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:36.600 he'll bring me through. 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:37.120 This next time. 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.080 Now, the situation in the natural may be a crisis. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.080 I mean they were in a storm. Say well, Joel, 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.480 I got a bad medical reporter. Your child is off course, 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.919 your business has gone down. But when you know the 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.439 God who controls the universe is on your boat, the 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.200 God who speaks to storms and they'll obey, is right 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:03.119 there with you, then you'll have a different perspective. You 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.960 won't let circumstances pull you out of rest. You won't 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.000 let people who are panicing and stressed out cause you 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:10.520 to panic. 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.200 You won't stay focused on the size of the problem. 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.560 You'll stay focused on the size of your God. 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.040 Now, don't let your own negative thoughts wake you up 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.480 from your rest. Don't let people wake you up with 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.280 their worry their doubt. Stay in peace, and God will 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.200 do what he promised. He'll get you to where you're 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:34.320 supposed to be. But how we respond in the storms 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:38.719 of life, in the difficult times, that influences how people 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:43.080 respond around us. If Jesus would have woke up all panicked, 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:47.440 oh wow, this is really bad, those disciples probably would 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:48.359 have jumped overboard. 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:50.760 Boy, if he's worried, we're really worried. 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.280 But because he stayed at rest, not only could he 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:59.080 bring peace, but people around him calm down. When you 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:03.360 live at rest, your family will be more peaceful. When 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.200 you don't get stressed out at the office when everybody 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:06.800 else does. 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.480 People around you will calm down when. 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.800 You're stable, consistent, in a good mood despite what's going 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:18.679 on around you, Like Jesus, because you have peace on 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.760 the inside, you'll bring peace to the outside. Now, don't 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:26.479 let people wake you up with their negativity. Like at 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.199 a hotel when you don't want to be bothered, you 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.960 put the do not disturb sign out on the door. 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.400 Why don't you put a do not disturb sign on 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:40.040 your life? You're announcing I'm staying at rest. Don't wake 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.240 me up with your turmoil. Don't wake me up with 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.399 your drama. Don't wake me up with your fear. Tell 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.160 those peace dealers look at the sign on the door, 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:49.160 do not disturb. 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:51.679 I have entered into the rest of God. 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.359 A couple of years after I started ministering, I was 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.760 at home in my office Saturday afternoon, finishing up my 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:03.120 message for that weekend. Victoria and our small son Jonathan 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.159 at that time had taken my car up to the 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:07.000 car wash to. 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:07.720 Have it cleaned. 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.840 I had a white Lexus that used to be my father's. 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.560 It was given to me when my dad died, and 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.520 it was a beautiful car. Even though it was six 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.639 years old. It didn't have one scratch on It looked 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.120 brand new, and I went to great links to make 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.960 sure it stayed perfect, especially since it meant a lot 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.760 to me. Victoria took it to the same car wash 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.840 that we always drove through. It's one of those super 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:36.280 soft ones where the brushes don't even touch the car, 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:40.520 it just freezes it with water. Unfortunately, in the middle 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:45.520 of the wash, the machine malfunctioned. This big metal arm 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:49.040 came crashing down on the front bumper. Then it drug 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.800 it across the hood, over the windshield, over the roof, 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.399 to the back of the car. It put a deep 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.560 scratch about a foot wide the whole length of the car. 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.880 When Victoria got back to the house, she. 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.919 Wasn't gonna tell me until after the Saturday night service 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:07.840 so that I wouldn't have to think about it. 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:10.520 She was in the garage looking at it. 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.760 But our son, Jonathan, he was about six years old, 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.880 he had a different plan. He got out of that car, 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:21.520 took off running ninety miles per hour, came busting in 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.040 my office, said, Daddy, Daddy, you won't believe it. 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:26.560 Mom just totally ruined your car. 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.199 I said, thank you, Jonathan for being so diplomatic about it. 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:33.520 But evidently he. 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.520 Didn't see the do not disturb sign on my door. 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:38.119 What am I saying? 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.680 Life happens. There will be. 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:44.760 Plenty of opportunities to wake up from that rest, and 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:48.840 even though people and circumstances may bypass that do not 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:49.800 disturb sign. 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:51.439 You have the final saying. 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:53.760 You have to dig your heels in and say, naw, 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:57.000 I'm staying at rest. I know God's still on the throne. 0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.879 I am not gonna lose my peace over something I 0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:01.040 cannot change. 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:03.200 But how many times. 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:05.760 Do we let small things pull us out of that rest? 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.960 We get caught in traffic? A coworker was rude, somebody's 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.240 talking about us. Don't let that get on the inside. 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.400 You'll never keep away all the peace stealers. 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:17.800 If you're waiting for. 0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.359 Them to change, and traffic to change, and your boss 0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:23.800 to change, you'll live stressed, worried your whole life. 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:28.040 They may never change. Here's the good news. You can change. 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:31.239 You can enter into this rest. You can put that 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:32.919 do not disturb sign on. 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.200 Despite what comes against you, make up your mind you're 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:39.879 gonna stay in peace. One time I couldn't find the 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:43.240 remote control for our television at home. I had looked 0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:46.320 everywhere and went in the kitchen, thought somebody had carried 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.040 it in there, and looked under the cushions of the couch, 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:50.320 and finally I called. 0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:53.359 Victoria asked her if she had seen it. She said no. 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.200 The last time I saw it. It was right where 0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.800 it was supposed to be, and kept looking and looking. 0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:01.160 About fifteen minutes later Victoria call go back and said, 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.159 I found the remote control. I said, good, where is it? 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.600 She said, in my purse with me here at target. 0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:09.399 I was the one that put it there while we 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:12.720 were moving some furniture. But I was tempted to wake 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:17.760 up from my rest. That do not disturb sign I found. 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:21.560 Most of the time, it's not for other people, it's 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:21.960 for you. 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:26.320 It's to remind us to stay in peace. Are you 0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.800 allowing things to pull you out of rest? 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.840 Anyone can be peaceful when everything's going their way. 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.880 The real test comes when life happens. 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.680 When the remote control is at target, when the car 0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:43.280 wash puts an extra racing strip down your car, when 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.880 the disciples come rushing in panicking. 0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:48.160 We're in a storm. This is really bad. The easy 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:50.040 thing to do is to panic. 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:54.520 With them, get all upset. Recognize what's happening. Those are 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:57.320 peace stealers trying to pull you out of your rest. 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:00.960 This is what happened with the Israelites. God had just 0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:04.199 delivered them out of slavery. They were headed toward the 0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:08.520 promised land. Life was good, until the Pharaoh changed his mind. 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:12.800 He and his army came chasing after them. The Israelites 0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.240 ended up at a dead end at the Red Sea. 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:19.159 They had nowhere to go, looked like they'd certainly be 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:23.199 recaptured or maybe even killed, and they begin to panic. 0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:24.760 They were so afraid. 0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:29.480 The scripture says they were terrified and said, Moses, why 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:31.080 did you bring us out here in the. 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:32.760 Desert to die? 0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:37.280 Moses knew if they would have stayed upset, fearful, worried, 0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.520 that would have stopped God from working. He said to 0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:44.200 the people, don't be afraid. The Lord will fight for 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:46.960 you if you hold your peace. 0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:48.200 And remain at rest. 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:52.639 Notice there was a condition. God will fight your battles 0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:56.040 if you'll stay at rest, if you'll quit worrying about 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:59.280 the medical report, if you'll quit being upset over the 0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:02.720 contracted and get if you couldn't being stressed by those 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.680 people that talking about you, If you'll remain. 0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:07.440 At rest, God will fight your battles. 0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:12.000 I'm asking you today to identify the peace stealers in 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:15.480 your life. What's causing you to be stressed? Are you 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:19.359 carrying a load that you're not supposed to carry? Allowing 0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:22.000 someone to dump their burdens on you trying to be 0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:22.680 the savior. 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.840 Turn that over to God. Don't let them pull you 0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:26.480 out of rest? 0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:31.120 Are you allowing traffic people a grouchy boss to upset you. 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.080 They may not change, but you can change. 0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:37.439 Put up this do not disturb sign, not just for others, 0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.639 but to remind you to stay in peace. 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:40.520 Friends. 0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:44.080 Life is too short to go through it letting peace 0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:48.240 stealers determine our destiny. If you'll make this decision with 0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.879 me that you're going to live at rest, you'll not 0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:54.240 only enjoy your life more, but I believe and declare 0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:57.040 God will do for you what he did for the Israelites. 0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.879 He'll part red seas, He'll restore your health. He'll bring vindication, promotion, 0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:06.240 the fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name. If you 0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:10.840 receive it today, can you say amen? We never like 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:14.800 to close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity. 0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:17.000 To make Jesus the lord of your life.
