Thanks for tuning in. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.519 Thank you again for coming out and I like to 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.320 start with something funny. And I heard about this burglar 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.440 that broke into a home one night. As he was 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.480 stealing the stereo, he heard a voice saying, Jesus is 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.000 watching you. He froze in his tracks and shined his 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.200 flight slide over in the corner of the room, and 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.920 he saw a parrot. He said, did you say that 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.920 to me? The parrot said yes, I'm just trying to 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.640 warn you. Burglar said, warn me, what are you talking about? 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:48.680 Who are you? Parrot said, my name is Moses. Burglar laughed. 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.000 Said what kind of crazy people would name a parrot Moses. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.839 The parrot said the same kind of people that would 0:02:54.919 --> 0:03:00.359 name a one hundred and fifty pound rottweiler. Jesus, hold 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.480 up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.640 is my Bible. I am what it says. 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:06.040 I am. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.920 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.560 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.320 talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.560 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:23.560 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.160 to talk to you today about staying in the game. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.400 It's easy to have. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.880 A good attitude and pursue our dreams as long as 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.160 everything is going our way. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.360 That doesn't take a lot of faith. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:40.080 But what about the difficult times when a relationship doesn't 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.640 work out, we get a bad health report, a friend 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:44.360 does us wrong. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.440 It's easy to lose. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:51.080 Our passion when we're hurt, the disappointment, the business that 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.360 didn't make it, the breakup that was painful. Many people 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.120 are sitting on the sidelines of life because they're injured. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.240 Now they're nursing their wounds, not moving forward because of 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.400 what they've been through. Now, you may have a reason 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.240 to feel sorry for yourself, but you don't have a right. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.360 God promised he will give you beauty for those ashes. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.719 He said he would pay you back double for the wrongs. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.920 But you have to do your part. And if you're 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:22.839 going to see the beauty, if you're going to see 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.960 the double, shake off the self pity. You got to 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.359 shake off the discouragement and get back in the game. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.640 Every person has injuries, we all have wounds. But you 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.960 can't let a loss, a health issue, a divorce be 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.080 an excuse to sit on the sidelines. Sometimes in life 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.240 you have to play in pain. I was watching the 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.240 football game a while back and one of the players 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:50.640 had a broken. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.560 Hand and bruised ribs. 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.480 He's a big offensive lineman. He wasn't expected to play. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.559 The trainers wanted him to sit out, but he wasn't 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.440 about to miss the game. Had a big cast on 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.239 his arm. It's wearing a special vest to protect his ribs. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:07.960 He's all bandaged up. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.160 He looked like a mummy, and a reporter asked him 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.480 how he felt. He said, it's a little painful, but 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.600 I'd rather be in the game in pain than sitting. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:19.680 On the sidelines watching. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.440 And if you're going to become all God's created you 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.400 to be, you can't let that injury, that hurt, that 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.680 disappointment caused you to sit on the sidelines. Do like 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.880 this player, bandage up what's hurting, forgive the person that 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.760 did you wrong, let go of what. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.039 Didn't work out, and get back in the game. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.719 I saw a lady in our lobbies last week that 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.320 I haven't seen in a long long time. She's an 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:51.240 older woman, very faithful, tends our services regularly. I said 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.240 in passing, Hey, I haven't seen you lately. Where have 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.920 you been, she said, Joel, I had to have an 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:01.120 emergency surgery, been in the hospital for three months. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.080 Said Wow, I'm so glad to have you back. How 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:04.720 are you doing? 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.360 For as long as I live, I will never forget 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:14.000 her words. She said, I'm hurting, but I'm here. That's 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.159 the kind of people God rewards faithful people, people that 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.440 are determined, people that get knocked down but don't stay down. 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:23.679 They get back up again. 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.880 You don't let the hurt, the pain, the bad break 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.000 cause you to get bitter, to lose your passion, to 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.359 start blaming God. No, like this lady, you stay in 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.360 the game no matter what life deals our way. Our 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:43.160 attitude should be. I'm hurting, but I'm still here. Friended 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.839 me wrong, but I'm still here. Business is slow, but 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.479 I'm still here. Didn't feel like coming, but I'm still here. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.600 You got to have a made up mind. You're going 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.320 to stay in the game. You're not going to be 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.600 faithful as long as you feel perfectly well, as long 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.279 as everybody treats you right, as long as it's. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.920 Sunny and cool outside. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.640 Now, where are the people like this lady that have 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.400 a made up mind. I'm hurting, but I'm still coming. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.160 Boss did me wrong, but I'm still getting to work 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.760 on time, being my best. My child won't speak to me. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.239 It's breaking my heart. I'm in pain, but I'm still 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.840 singing in the choir. I'm still ushering each week. I'm 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.320 still being good to a friend that's in need. I've 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:33.520 still got a smile. I'm still giving God praise. Listen, 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.240 anybody can sit on the sidelines. Anybody can find an 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.320 excuse to be sour, to drop out, to give up 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.200 on life. I'm asking you to stay in the game. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.440 And when you're hurting, when you're in pain, it's easy 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.080 to become ingrown to where all you think about is 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.600 my hurt, my disappointment, my bed break. All that's going 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.120 to do is bring more discouragement, more self pity. 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.000 Eventually even depression. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.320 One of the best things you can do when you're 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.080 hurting is go out and help somebody else that's hurting. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.640 Get your mind off of your problems, off of your pain, 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.560 and go help somebody else in need. When you help 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.120 others in your time of need, that's a seed you're 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.360 sewing that God can use to change your own situation. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.960 This is what my mother did in nineteen eighty one 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.640 when she was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, given a 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.400 few weeks to live. She didn't feel well. She had 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.400 a good reason to be discouraged. She had a good 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.400 excuse to go home, go to bed, pull the curtains, 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:41.560 and be depressed. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:43.120 She was injured. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.200 She could have sat on the sidelines. Nobody would have 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.960 faulted her. But my mother understood this principle. She stayed 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.680 in the game. She would drive across town to pray 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.000 for a friend of hers that was sick. The truth 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.760 is she needed more prayer. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.880 Than that for riens. But my mother was so in 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:02.440 a seed. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.880 She would come to church every weekend and pray for 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.480 other people that were in need. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.920 She was injured, but she was still in the game. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.160 Sometimes in life you got to play in pain. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.960 You don't feel like it. It's not easy. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.120 Every voice will tell you you're done, there's nothing good in 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:22.760 your future. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.280 No, don't believe those lies. God sees your effort. 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.920 It's one thing to do the right thing, make good decisions. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.120 When everything's going our way, that's great. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:34.719 God rewards that. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.760 But when times are tough and nothing's going your way, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.320 you're hurting. You should be on the sidelines, nursing your wound. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.880 But instead you're still in the game. You're still getting 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.520 to work on time, you're still being good to someone, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.480 You're still expecting God to turn it around. That gets 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.160 God's attention in a new way. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:56.920 God has a. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.800 Greater reward for people who are faithful in the tough times. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.680 Years ago, my sister Lisa went through an unwanted divorce. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.040 She was in her early twenties, and she was so devastated. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.360 Was an unfair situation, and for weeks she was so 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.600 depressed that she wouldn't leave the house. 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.959 Practically wouldn't even come out of her room in the morning. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.559 She couldn't wait for it to get dark at nighttime, 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:29.000 she couldn't wait for the morning. She wasn't living, just existing. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.280 One day she called my father and she was crying. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.280 She said, Daddy, I think I'm having a nervous breakdown. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.120 She was in so much pain, she was overwhelmed, and 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.280 we as a family, of course, we tried to cheer up, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.160 we tried to encourage her, but it's like we couldn't 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.560 get her out of that deep hold of depression. A 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.040 minister friend of ours was speaking at the church at 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:50.640 that time. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.559 His name is T. L. Osborne. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:57.400 He got on the phone said, Lisa, nobody can bring 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.440 you out of this except you. You know I love you, Lisa, 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.880 but you got to quit feeling sorry for yourself. Quit 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.760 nursing your wounds, quit thinking about your problem, get out 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.480 of the house and move forward with your life. At first, 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:17.520 Lisa was defensive, almost offended, thinking, you don't know the 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.400 pain that I'm feeling. You don't know what I'm going through. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.800 This is ruined by life. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.359 Then he made this statement, if you'll. 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:29.280 Move forward, God will take your scars and turn them 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:34.760 into stars for his glory. When she heard that, something 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.000 ignited on the inside. It's like a stronghold was broken 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:39.720 in her mind. 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.440 Instead of sitting at home feeling sorry for herself, she 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:44.959 went up to the church and. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.319 Started a class every week for people who were believing 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.679 for their marriages to be restored. She reached out to 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.400 other people that were hurting. She was injured, but she 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.120 got back in the game by her action. She was saying, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.760 I'm hurting, but I'm still here. I'm disappointed, but I'm 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.120 still here. They did me wrong, but I'm still here. 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.640 Lisa could still be bitter with a chip on her shoulder, 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.480 blaming God. But she made the decision to get back 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.880 in the game. Today, more than twenty years later, she's 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:23.800 happily married, great husband, three beautiful children. She saw what 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.239 God promised. He took the scars and turned them into stars. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.720 He gave her beauty for those ashes. But it all 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.120 happened when she made the decision to. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:35.120 Get back in the game. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.000 Isaiah put it this way, a rise from the depression 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.480 in which the circumstances have kept you, rise to a 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:45.840 new life. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.040 Notice, if you want a new life, there's something you 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:49.640 have to do. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.640 You can't sit back in self pity. You can't wait 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.000 till all your wounds heal and you feel one hundred percent. 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.240 You got to do like Lisa and a rise from 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:05.080 that discouragement. Shake off what didn't work out, Quit mourning 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.240 over what you've lost, Quit dwelling on who hurts you 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.599 and how unfair it was, and rise to a new life. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.679 When God sees you in the game, pain in awe, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.760 bandages in awe, when you show up with that attitude. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.120 I'm hurting but I'm still here. I'm hurting but I 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.200 know God is still on the throne. I'm hurting, but 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.840 I'm expecting God to turn it around. That's when the 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.400 creator of the universe goes to work. That's when God 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.120 will pay you back for the wrongs that have happened 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.080 to you. Some of you are in a tough times. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.960 You're sitting on the sidelines. God is saying, or rise 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.800 and get back in the game. If a friend betrayed you, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.640 don't go through life lonely. Go out and find some 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.360 new friends. The right people are in your future. If 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.240 you lost your job, don't sit around complaining, go out 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.440 and find another job. When one door closes, God will 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:07.800 always open up another door. If you're facing a health issue, 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.679 fighting that sickness, don't give up on life and start 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:16.560 planning your funeral. Arise from that discouragement. When God sees 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.840 you do your part, he will do his part. He'll 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.280 give you a new life. That means he'll restore your health, 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.920 give you new opportunities, new relationships. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.479 He'll give you a new perspective. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.600 You will see, even though it's painful, it is not 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.080 the end. Even though it was unfair, it. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:37.840 Is not over. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:44.000 There is still life after the sickness, life after the divorce, 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.360 life after the bad break. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.040 A full life is still in front of you. Job 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:50.880 experienced this. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.960 He went through all kinds of tough times. Everything that 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.360 could go wrong did. He was tempted to sit on 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.600 the sidelines of life. His wife told him, Job, just 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.440 give up. It's never going to get any better. But 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.960 in the midst of that pain, Job said, I know. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:09.720 My Redeemer lives. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.000 He was saying, in effect, I'm hurting, but I'm still 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.160 in the game. I'm hurting, but i know my God 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.760 is still on the throne. A year later, when he 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.520 came through that challenge, God not only brought him out, 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.840 but God paid him back double for what he had lost. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:32.080 The scripture says after this Job lived one hundred and 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:38.080 forty years and saw his grandchildren down to four generations. Notice, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:43.840 after the trouble, after the loss, after the sickness, after 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.240 the business went down, after the bottom fell out, his 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.480 life was not over. He didn't end on a sour, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.480 defeated note. He went on to live a blessed, happy 0:15:55.000 --> 0:16:00.520 one hundred and forty years, enjoying his grandchildren, accomplishing his dreams, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.280 fulfilling his destiny. What am I saying? Your life is 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.480 not over because you had a setback. God has an 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:13.080 after this in your future. When we go through tough times, 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.160 don't be surprised if the enemy doesn't whisper in your ear. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.480 You'll never be as happy as you used to be. 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.880 You've seen your best days. This setback is the end 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.440 of you. No let that go in one ear and 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.240 out the other. God is saying to you what he 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.720 said to Job after the cancer, after the bad break, 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.200 after the disappointment, there is. 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:35.360 Still a full life. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.240 You have not danced your best dance, you have not 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.160 laughed your best laugh, you have not dreamed your best dream. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.440 If you will stay in the game and not get bitter, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.560 God has an after this in your future. Like Job, 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.480 He's not only gonna bring you out, He's gonna bring 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:54.520 you out with double. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:55.160 What you had before. 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.480 You may have seen the football game last Sunday. One 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:03.760 of the players younger brothers was tragically killed in an accident. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:04.680 The day before. 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.399 This player practically raised his siblings. They were extremely close. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.280 You can imagine the pain and shock he must have 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.879 been in. The coach told him to go back home 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.400 and spend as much time as he needed with his family, but. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.760 He said, no, Coach, I'm going to play in the 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:21.639 game tomorrow. 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.080 In memory of my brother. I know that's what he 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.560 would want me to do. It's interesting this player had 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.440 one of the greatest games of his career. He caught 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:36.359 an incredible touchdown pass, made other great plays. Some people 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.800 would see it as a coincidence, just the adrenaline of 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.919 the moment, But I see it as the hand of God. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.159 I believe God was saying, if you'll dare stay in 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.119 the game, if you'll dare play with pain, then. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.439 I'll breathe my favor on your life. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.080 When God sees you in the game, when at least 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.119 in the natural you should be on the sidelines nursing 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:03.119 your wounds. Everybody would understand if you were bitter you 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.359 lost a loved one in an accident, we'd understand if 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:07.600 you had a bad attitude. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.800 You're facing a serious illness, raising. 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.720 A special needs child in the middle of a legal battle. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.960 Nobody would fault you for being discouraged. That's what most 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:22.560 people expect. But when you defy the odds and say, hey, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.320 I'm hurting, but I'm still here. The medical report wasn't good, 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:28.600 but I'm still. 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:29.240 Giving God praise. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.520 The loan didn't go through, but I still have a smile. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.119 I didn't get that promotion, but I'm still volunteering in 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:36.800 the nursery. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:41.439 When you play in pain, the most powerful force in 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.840 the universe breathe in your direction. 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.560 You may be in a difficult time. You could easily 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.640 be discouraged, but God is saying it's time to wipe 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:56.119 away the tears, wash your face, put on a new attitude, 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:57.680 and get back in the game. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.800 You may not be able to to do what you 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:05.560 used to. You've got some aches, some limitations. That's all right. 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:10.800 God is not necessarily concerned about your performance. He's looking 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.080 at the fact that you're even in the game. You 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.880 could have a chip on your shoulder. You could be 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:21.080 sitting on the sidelines. Some of you just being here today, 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.439 just flipping on the channel. That took an act of 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:29.560 your faith. Every voice told you don't go today. You're tired, 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:31.159 you're disappointed. 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.240 You had a set back. That's a waste of your time. 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.480 You had all these excuses to sit on the sidelines, 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.840 but you shook it off and came anyway. Let me 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:45.000 assure you God sees your effort. God knows what it 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.400 took to be here, what it took to even turn 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:52.440 the channel on. Nobody else knows the battles you had 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.919 to fight to get here, the discouragement you had to overcome. 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.240 They didn't see all the opportunities you had to get 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.720 sour and throw in the towel. Just the fact that 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.160 you showed up. You're saying to God you are still 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.520 on the throne. You're saying to yourself, I'm in it 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.399 for the long haul. And you're saying to the enemy, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.679 you're under my feet. There's nothing you can do to 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.080 keep me from my destiny. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.760 Listen, the moment you walked. 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.800 In these doors, the moment you flipped on the channel, 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:27.080 all the forces of darkness begin to tremble. Because when 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.639 you honor God, especially in a tough time when you 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:34.920 could be complaining but instead you're praising, that gives the. 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:36.600 Enemy a nervous breakdown. 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.040 He doesn't know what to do with people to just 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:39.920 stay in the game. 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.800 Friends, God sees your effort, he sees your sacrifice. 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.720 When Jesus was here on this earth, he felt every pain, 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.399 every emotion that we would ever feel. He knows what 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.440 it's like to be lonely, to go through a loss, 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:00.800 to be betrayed, to be discouraged, so much so that 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.800 he sweat great drops of blood. 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:04.760 He's been where we are. 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.639 The scripture says, he is touched with the feelings of 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:13.400 our infirmities. When you hurt, God feels the pain. You're 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.719 his most surprised possession. You're his child. When you arise 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.920 in spite of the pain and get in the game, 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.680 that's the seed God will use to take the scar 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:26.359 and turn it into a star. 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.200 I met a man in our lobby a while back, and. 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.520 I noticed that he was wearing a wristband from the hospital, 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.960 and I asked him if everything was okay. He explained 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:41.120 how he had surgery earlier in that week, a major surgery, 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.680 and he was supposed to stay in the hospital through 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.359 the weekend to recover. But he said, doctor, I've got 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.240 to go to church on Sunday. I'm an usher. 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:51.679 They'll be expecting me. 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.280 The doctor said, no way, sir, I'm not even thinking 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.080 about letting you out of the hospital. You're going to 0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.800 stay right here and recover. Said doctor, you don't understand. 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.760 I have to be at church. I never miss a Sunday. 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.399 Doctor looked at him, so let me ask you. Do 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:09.520 you go to Lakewood? 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:12.359 He said, yes, sir, I do. 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.840 The doctor said, Lakewood people are the most dedicated, faithful, 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:18.920 happiest people I've ever seen. 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.320 The doctor said, I'm gonna make a deal with you. 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:24.480 I'm gonna give you a. 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:28.040 Three hour pass to go to church on Sunday morning, 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.400 and then you get right back in here and get 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:30.760 in that. 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:31.479 Bed to recover. 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.359 He showed up. He was hurting, but he was here. 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.400 He told me before the service, Joel, don't go long. 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:39.280 I'll get in trouble. 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.119 There's a young man that attends here all the time. 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:47.159 He always has a smile, seems as happy as can be. 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.080 What I didn't realize is he has been on dialysis 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:54.960 for twelve years, much younger than I am. I took 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.080 my father to dialysis the last three months of his life. 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.240 I know a little bit about that. It's not always easy. 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.560 It can be a burden. This young man always wore 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.560 long sleeve shirts. One Sunday he came up for prayer. 0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.880 I met him at the altar for the first time. Said, hey, 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:13.480 I see out there in the audience all the time. 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:15.840 It's good to finally meet you. Said yeah, Joel, I. 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.320 Never miss a service. I love coming. He rolled up 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:20.040 his sleeve. 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:25.000 His whole arm was as red as a tomato. It 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.720 looked like somebody had taken an ice pick and poked 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.800 at it for three hours straight. Never seen anything like 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:34.520 that before. I couldn't help but think about all the 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.680 times I had seen him out in the audience with his. 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.639 Arms up in the air in worship. 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.080 Looked like he didn't have a problem in the world, 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:46.320 looking as happy as could be. What I didn't realize 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:47.840 was under that sleeve. 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:52.040 He was injured. He was here, but he was hurting. 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.159 He was playing in pain. 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:58.280 And it's one thing to go through a difficulty and everybody. 0:23:57.800 --> 0:23:58.560 Knows about it. 0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:02.080 You're worried, this courage, you got your friends, your family 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:02.840 members praying. 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:04.359 There's nothing wrong with that. 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:08.480 We're all human, we all have emotions, we handle things 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:12.960 in different ways. But what really gets God's attention is 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:16.600 when you're in a tough time. You're hurting, you're in pain. 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:21.320 But like this young man, you're so stable, you're so consistent, 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:25.879 you're so at peace. Nobody knows anything about it. You 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.320 show up to church each week with a smile, You 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.119 go to work with a good attitude. 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.040 You're kind, friendly, compassionate. 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.800 The whole time you're fighting a battle that nobody knows 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:41.040 anything about. Let me tell you that gets God's attention 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.399 in a great, great way. About three months ago, he 0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.800 came back to the altar. There was a young man 0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:50.120 next to him. He said, Joel, my friend is going 0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:52.760 to donate me one of his kidneys. We're going to 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:57.480 have the transplant on Tuesday. Long story short, The procedure 0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:02.320 went great. The new kidney, Respon did perfectly. Today he's 0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:03.840 not on dialysis anymore. 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:08.840 He didn't have to wear long sleeve shirts anymore. He's healthy, 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:13.600 free from that pain. Here's my point. 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:21.800 Twelve years after the dialysis, after the struggle, after the pain, 0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.440 there was still a bright future in front of him 0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:28.400 because he stayed in the game. Like job he came 0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.280 in to his after this, God will do the same 0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:34.160 thing for you. So a young lady in the scripture 0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.880 that went through a time of great pain. Her name 0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.439 was Ruth. Her husband was killed in a battle. In 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.760 a moment her life forever changed. Ruth could have easily 0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:47.239 gotten off into self pity, discouragement. God life is just 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:50.680 not fair. But Ruth stayed in the game. Her mother 0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:53.639 in law, Naomi, it was her son that was killed. 0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:57.080 She was a widow already she was about to move 0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.400 back to her hometown. She said, Ruth, you're a young woman. 0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:03.639 I'm an old lady. You've got a full life in 0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:04.200 front of you. 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.240 Don't worry about me. Just go off and do your 0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:07.760 own thing. 0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.840 Ruth said, no, Naomi, I'm not gonna leave you by yourself, 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:13.760 especially when you're hurting. 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.680 I'm gonna go with you and take care of you. 0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.200 Even though Ruth was hurting, even though. 0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:23.359 She was in pain, she reached out to somebody else 0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:27.160 that was hurting. Month after month, Ruth just kept taking 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.520 care of Naomi, getting the food, serving her dinner, being 0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.679 her friend. One day, Ruth was out in the field 0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:37.199 gathering up wheat for the dinner, and she met this 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:38.400 man named Boaz. 0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:39.720 He was the. 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:43.680 Owner of all the fields, the wealthiest man in that area. 0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:44.760 Long story short. 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.439 They fell in love and got married, and God blessed 0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:51.840 them with a baby boy. They named him Obed. Obed 0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:56.919 had a son named Jesse. Jesse had a son named David. David, 0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:58.760 of course, went on to be the King of Israel, 0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:02.040 one of the greatest men that's ever lived. Ruth could 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:04.879 have sat on the sidelines the rest of her life 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.359 after that loss, but she understood this principle. 0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:12.240 She played in pain. She was injured, but she kept 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:13.200 doing the right thing. 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:18.440 And God had an after this for Ruth, after the loss, 0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:22.240 after the pain, God said, I'll give you a great 0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:26.199 great grandson that will change the world. You may be 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:30.080 in pain today, you suffered a loss, been through a disappointment. 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:34.680 My message is that is not the end. God still 0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:38.000 has a plan. Now, don't sit around nursing the wound. 0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:42.200 Don't let bitterness and discouragement set the tone for your life. 0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:46.320 God is saying arives. Wipe away the tears and get 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:49.800 back in the game. You may be injured, but dare 0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:53.760 to do like Ruth and play in pain. Have the attitude. 0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:58.080 I'm hurting, but I'm still here. I'm disappointed, but I've 0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:01.080 still got a smile. They did me wrong, but I'm 0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:04.520 still giving God praise. Friends, if you will stay in 0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:08.920 the game, God will always have and after this for you. 0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:13.480 After the loss, you'll meet the right person. After the layoff, 0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.520 you'll get a better job. After the sickness, you'll come 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.960 out stronger. After the disappointment. You'll still live. 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:21.960 A blessed, full, happy life. 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:24.280 Just like my mother, Just like the young men with 0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:28.479 the kidney. Just like Ruth, like Job, I believe and 0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:32.439 declare in spite of the pain, in spite of the adversity, 0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.720 because you're still in the game. God's going to make 0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:38.440 the rest of your life the best of your life. 0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:42.920 You will still fulfill your destiny and become everything that 0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:44.520 God has created you to be. 0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:46.440 In Jesus' name, if. 0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.520 You receive it, can you say amen today? 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.960 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.680 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:55.920 --> 0:29:00.280 Would you pray with me?
