[36:42] worthwhile amen you have your Bibles go

[36:44] to the Book of Daniel chapter number one

[36:46] you can remain seated for just a moment

[36:47] I want to talk to you then we'll stand

[36:49] in honor the word of God here in just a

[36:51] minute Daniel chapter number one had a

[36:54] great week at Vacation Bible School if

[36:56] you're looking at the picture is going

[36:58] where'd all that trash come from there's

[37:01] a reason for that we started off last

[37:03] Sunday with our our city of everything

[37:05] Ville and then it revealed itself to

[37:07] actually be the town of

[37:09] evil and the longer you're around evil

[37:12] the worse it gets the worse it gets the

[37:15] worse it gets and every night as the

[37:18] kids would go out of the CL out of the

[37:20] auditorium into their snack time and

[37:22] review time things would happen in the

[37:24] auditorium there was graffiti added to

[37:26] the city there was trash added things

[37:28] were broken and begin to realize and

[37:31] begin to teach them that the longer

[37:32] you're around evil the worse it

[37:35] gets the think about that this morning

[37:39] the world that we live in it's no

[37:41] surprise that evil

[37:43] abounds it's no surprise that we turn on

[37:46] our television to watch an Olympic event

[37:50] and we're bombarded with the mockery of

[37:53] Christ bombarded on every side by the

[37:56] way it's no surprised that they're

[37:58] mocking Christianity because every other

[38:00] religion is already pulling people away

[38:02] from God there's only one Satanist

[38:05] concerned about and it's

[38:07] Christianity so that's the one they're

[38:09] going to mock so the ungodly display

[38:12] that happened in the opening ceremony of

[38:14] the Olympics and it's just a recognition

[38:16] that our world is

[38:18] wicked and the more and more wicked we

[38:21] see it to become and some of you you say

[38:24] I don't know what happened don't go

[38:25] watch it it'll make you angry

[38:29] and it should bother you as a

[38:32] Christian take your Bibles as I said to

[38:34] Daniel chapter number one verse number

[38:37] one of the Book of Daniel we're going to

[38:39] read some verses this morning and my the

[38:42] Lord's help preached to about a young

[38:43] man who was in a situation of a wicked

[38:46] land if you're able would you please

[38:47] stand in honor of the word of God read

[38:50] the first eight verses of Daniel chapter

[38:52] number one some principles here found in

[38:55] this chapter I think would be a blessing

[38:56] to us today in the third year of the

[38:59] reign of jeho Kim King of Judah came

[39:01] Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon unto

[39:03] Jerusalem and besieged it the lord gave

[39:06] jeim king of Judah into his hand with

[39:09] part of the vessels of the house of God

[39:11] he carried in the land of Shar to the

[39:13] house of his God little G he brought the

[39:16] vessels Into The Treasure of his God

[39:19] little G and the King spake un ashpenaz

[39:21] the master of the Unix that he should

[39:23] bring certain of the children of Israel

[39:25] and of the king's seed and of princes

[39:28] children whom was no blemish but well

[39:30] favored skillful in all wisdom cunning

[39:32] in knowledge and understanding science

[39:35] such as had an ability in them to stand

[39:37] in the king's Palace whom they might

[39:39] teach the learning in the tongue of the

[39:41] calans the king appointed them a daily

[39:43] provision of the king's meat of the wine

[39:45] which he drank so nourishing them three

[39:47] years that at the end thereof they might

[39:48] stand before the king now among these

[39:51] were of the children of Judah Daniel

[39:53] haniah Michel and Azariah under whom the

[39:56] prince of the gave names for he gave

[39:59] unto Daniel the name belto shazar to

[40:01] haniah of Shadrach and mishel of mesach

[40:04] and to arah Azariah of

[40:06] abedo but Daniel purposed in his heart

[40:11] that he would not defile himself with a

[40:13] portion of the king's meat nor with the

[40:15] wine which he drank therefore he

[40:17] requested of the prince of the Unix that

[40:19] he might not defile himself let's go to

[40:22] Lord in prayer this morning to Heavenly

[40:24] Father Lord I Thank you for the

[40:25] opportunity to preach your word today

[40:27] Lord I pray if you would please cleanse

[40:28] me of sin and ENT me of myself that I

[40:30] might get out of the way this morning

[40:32] and your word may go forth Lord I pray

[40:34] that you'd speak to our hearts today

[40:36] challenge us from your word Lord if

[40:37] there be anyone here today that does not

[40:38] know you as Savior May today be their

[40:41] day of salvation in your name I pray

[40:44] amen thank you for standing you may be

[40:47] seated so we think about Daniel and in

[40:50] his life he purposed in his heart to do

[40:54] something and that happens to be able to

[40:58] make a purpose and live for a purpose

[41:02] doesn't happen by

[41:04] accident only happens on purpose so I've

[41:07] entitled the message this morning on

[41:09] purpose with a purpose on purpose with a

[41:14] purpose beginning in verse number one in

[41:16] the third year the reign of jeho Kim

[41:18] King of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar King

[41:20] of Babylon we have a date here given

[41:22] with these two kings this helps us to

[41:24] know that this writing begins in 605 BC

[41:28] so in 605 Nebuchadnezzar goes in and he

[41:31] takes over the first wave he does it

[41:33] again repeatedly and we actually have

[41:34] end up a few years later having the

[41:36] complete fall of Jerusalem but in 605

[41:40] Daniel's taken captive Daniel's taken

[41:42] away and him and Shadrach M we know him

[41:46] as Hanah Michel Azariah are taken

[41:48] captive and brought into Babylon so I

[41:51] want you to notice a few things as jeim

[41:53] comes and he's given the the lord gave

[41:56] Je king of Judah into his hand and

[42:00] Nebuchadnezzar carries away all of these

[42:02] things from the house of God then he

[42:05] speaks to ashpenaz the master of the

[42:07] Unix to take certain children of Israel

[42:12] of the king's seed and of

[42:17] princes Daniel's part of the royal

[42:20] family he's not just

[42:22] anybody he's not just some kid he part

[42:26] of the Royal Family so number one this

[42:27] morning they took away their past when

[42:31] Babylon came in and took over in

[42:33] Jerusalem and took away captives they

[42:35] took away their past they took part of

[42:37] the royal family away after jeya Kim you

[42:39] have jeah chin who Reigns just a few

[42:41] months and then they're taken in after

[42:44] that so they take away their past

[42:46] Daniel's part of the Roy they took him

[42:48] from his home

[42:50] country they took him away from his

[42:53] family they led him away and they

[42:56] brought him into Babylon and when he

[42:57] arrived in

[42:59] Babylon they did not look at Daniel as a

[43:02] person they looked at Daniel hen andah

[43:05] Michel and Azariah as a

[43:07] resource they weren't an individual

[43:09] anymore they were a resource the reason

[43:12] they took him is because of their

[43:13] upbringing their seed Royal they took

[43:16] him also because they were cunning they

[43:18] had no blemish they were Daniel was a

[43:19] nicel looking guy he wasn't some ugly

[43:22] man he was a NIC looking guy he

[43:25] continues on he was well favored he was

[43:28] skillful in all wisdom and cunning and

[43:30] knowledge and understanding science and

[43:33] such that ability to stand in in in them

[43:36] and ability to stand in the king's

[43:38] Palace and that they might teach the

[43:40] learning and the tongue of the C they to

[43:42] teach them another language they're

[43:43] going to teach them how to think they're

[43:44] going to teach them how to live they're

[43:46] going to teach them how to act and so to

[43:47] start that process off they had to get

[43:49] them away from their home had to take

[43:53] him away from their past so they take

[43:56] him out

[43:57] take him away from their past he's part

[44:00] of the royal family but now he's alone

[44:03] he's in a foreign Kingdom a wicked

[44:06] land they took him away and they tried

[44:08] to take away his past and part of taking

[44:11] away his

[44:12] past meant that they number two today

[44:15] tried to

[44:16] manipulate the

[44:18] present they tried to manipulate the

[44:20] present Daniel

[44:21] arrives verse number five the king

[44:23] appointed to them a daily provision of

[44:25] the king's meat and of the wine which he

[44:26] drank

[44:27] so no end three years that at the end

[44:30] thereof they might stand before the king

[44:33] they tried to manipulate the present

[44:35] they had a dietary

[44:38] change the things that are offered to

[44:40] these men to eat were off

[44:44] limits to them as

[44:46] Israelites it's off limits to them but

[44:50] now in the king's Palace now I want you

[44:52] also to

[44:54] notice these are not offered bread and

[44:58] water as typical

[45:00] slaves watch this they gave them

[45:03] anything their heart could

[45:05] desire in order to win their

[45:09] affection they gave them everything

[45:11] their heart could desire to win their

[45:14] affection they had a dietary change they

[45:16] offered him all those things can you

[45:18] imagine the first

[45:19] time Jewish boy they brought out

[45:23] bacon he wasn't allowed to eat it

[45:27] a shrimp

[45:29] salad said here's some fried shrimp for

[45:31] you you can have this different

[45:33] different Meats different things that

[45:34] were Jewish law that they were not

[45:35] allowed to participate now are right in

[45:37] front of

[45:38] them they started off by taking away

[45:40] their past and now they're trying to

[45:42] manipulate the president they did it

[45:44] with a dietary change secondly notice

[45:47] they wanted to change their

[45:50] names verse number six Daniel haniah

[45:52] Michel and Azariah and they gave them

[45:54] new names

[45:57] and manipulating the present Daniel his

[45:59] name means God is my

[46:02] judge God is the

[46:05] judge and Daniel would remember that

[46:07] that's his name part of his name had

[46:10] meaning to him and it reminded him that

[46:12] god Jehovah is Judge they changed his

[46:15] name to belto shazar Bell being a false

[46:18] god that they worshiped they changed it

[46:21] to belto shazar which means Bell's

[46:23] treasure or treasur of Bell

[46:27] they wanted to take away everything in

[46:29] his name that reminded him of

[46:31] God they changed his name haniah his

[46:35] name means mercy of

[46:38] Jehovah mercy of

[46:40] Jehovah they gave him the name shadra

[46:43] which means under command of the Moon

[46:47] God they didn't want to talk about the

[46:49] mercy of Jehovah God they wanted to

[46:52] remember he's under command of moon God

[46:54] they wanted to change his name

[46:57] mishel's name means who is like God or

[47:00] who is like

[47:01] Jehovah they changed his name to mesach

[47:04] which is who is like the moon God the

[47:05] moon goddess being Venus the fertility

[47:09] goddess and the worship of Venus during

[47:12] this time in Babylon was by prostitution

[47:15] and sexual

[47:18] offering they're manipulating the

[47:20] present they're changing their

[47:22] names Azariah his name whom Jehovah

[47:25] helps and that's what he remembered

[47:27] Jehovah helps they changed it to abedo

[47:29] which is servant of

[47:32] Nebo another false god see they took

[47:35] away everything that was Godly from them

[47:38] and tried to replace it with things that

[47:40] were

[47:43] ungodly tried to change them they tried

[47:45] to manipulate the

[47:50] present also it says they were under the

[47:52] control of the prince of the

[47:54] Unix leave a marker in Daniel chapter 1

[47:57] go to 2 Kings chapter

[48:00] 20 2 Kings chapter number

[48:13] 20 second Kings chapter 20 we're going

[48:16] to read verses 17 and

[48:20] 18 We'll add verse 16 just for context

[48:23] sake and Isaiah said unto Hezekiah hear

[48:26] the word of the Lord behold the days

[48:28] come that all that is in thine house and

[48:31] thou which thy fathers have laid up in

[48:33] store unto this day shall be carried

[48:35] into Babylon nothing shall be left we

[48:39] read that in Daniel chapter one that

[48:41] happened and of thy sons that shall

[48:44] issue from thee which Thou shalt beget

[48:47] shall they take away and they shall be

[48:50] unic in the Palace of the king of

[48:54] Babylon

[48:56] so they're going to take away your

[48:58] children your sons and make them Unix in

[49:03] Babylon so the prophecies revealed for

[49:06] the

[49:08] stuff the things that are laid

[49:10] up the things that are

[49:13] given to the house of God and they're

[49:16] they're escorted out do you think what

[49:18] it says that their his sons would be

[49:21] taken captivity and they'd be made Unix

[49:23] that's true as well came to pass in

[49:26] Daniel chch chapter

[49:28] one Babylon during the historical times

[49:31] when they would take in captives from

[49:33] another land and make them into Unix

[49:35] many times they would mutilate them

[49:37] through

[49:40] castration so we talked about they took

[49:42] away their past they were trying to

[49:43] manipulate their present they took away

[49:44] their

[49:46] future now Daniel doesn't reveal it to

[49:49] us but it appears through the study of

[49:50] Daniel he never

[49:52] married and historically Babylon would

[49:55] make them phys physically Unix they

[49:57] would castrate them they would remove

[49:59] that capability of them so it could have

[50:02] been he was forbidden to marry as a unic

[50:04] or it could have been that his organs

[50:06] were

[50:08] removed they took away his

[50:12] future that's the society that Daniel's

[50:15] taken into

[50:16] captivity that's the society that has

[50:19] brought this wickedness into Daniel's

[50:23] life and that Society

[50:27] and all the pressure around him verse

[50:31] eight but Daniel purposed in his heart

[50:35] that he would not defile himself with a

[50:38] portion of the king's meat nor with the

[50:40] wine which he drank therefore he

[50:41] requested of the prince of the Unix that

[50:43] he might not defile

[50:46] himself on purpose Daniel makes a

[50:51] statement that even though I'm in this

[50:54] environment this environment will not be

[50:56] in me me even though I'm in this world

[51:00] this world will not be in me and he on

[51:03] purpose determines in his heart that he

[51:05] would not defile himself now that

[51:08] doesn't happen by accident that is not

[51:12] Daniel waking up and say you know what

[51:13] today I think I'm going to be Godly

[51:15] today no when you get to Daniel chapter

[51:18] 6 you see that Daniel prays many many

[51:20] many times and as he had prayed a four

[51:23] time and Daniel's in a world and a

[51:26] societ iety that wants nothing to do

[51:28] with his God that wants everything to do

[51:30] with their gods wants everything to do

[51:33] with manipulating the people around them

[51:35] and controlling the society around them

[51:38] they want to take away their future they

[51:39] want to manipulate the present and

[51:41] Daniel on purpose makes a decision that

[51:44] he would

[51:46] not we fast forward to

[51:50] 2024 we live in a wicked

[51:53] world it's no surprise that the world is

[51:56] wicked

[51:57] because the world has sinners in it and

[51:59] if you looked in the mirror this morning

[52:00] you saw a

[52:02] sinner we talked about it in Sunday

[52:04] school this morning we're all Sinners

[52:05] Bible says for all have sinned and come

[52:07] short of the glory of God everybody in

[52:10] the room is a sinner you were born a

[52:11] sinner you're not a sinner because you

[52:13] sin you were born a sinner for all have

[52:18] sinned all of us are sinners we live in

[52:21] a wicked world and part of Satan's

[52:24] tactics that he was influencing

[52:25] Nebuchadnezzar deser to use in Babylon

[52:28] are the same tactics he's using today in

[52:31] the world that we live in today the

[52:33] world we live in today they want to take

[52:34] away your

[52:36] past where we came from from God they

[52:40] want to take away our past as a nation

[52:43] that we were founded upon Godly

[52:45] principles they want to take away the

[52:48] past they want to take you out as a

[52:51] child of God they want to take you out

[52:53] of the royal family when you got saved

[52:55] you became part of God God's family and

[52:57] he is the king of kings and the Lord of

[52:59] lords so they want to take you out of

[53:01] the royal family the world we live in

[53:03] today wants to treat you like a resource

[53:06] and not a person what can you do for me

[53:09] as the society we live in today what can

[53:12] you do for me not who are you some of

[53:15] them can't even Define what you

[53:18] are you ask them well what's a woman

[53:20] they don't

[53:21] know they don't know the world that we

[53:23] live in is trying to manipulate the

[53:25] present

[53:27] or a person that's currently running for

[53:28] office wants to abolish certain dietary

[53:31] things make it illegal to have them why

[53:35] because they want to

[53:37] control they want

[53:39] Power they want to change your

[53:42] name they don't want you to talk about

[53:44] Jesus Christ we witnessed it on a

[53:47] worldwide display when they tried to

[53:50] mock the Lord's Supper picture by Da

[53:54] Vinci they mocked

[53:57] it with transgender

[54:00] people representing Jesus

[54:03] Christ there's a problem in our Wicked

[54:07] World the world we live in tries to

[54:09] manipulate the

[54:11] present the world you live in wants to

[54:14] take away your future your kids they

[54:17] want to take them

[54:18] away the world we liveing Society wants

[54:21] to raise your kids not you raise your

[54:23] kids they want to tell your kids what to

[54:25] think what to believe how to act what to

[54:27] know they want to confuse them as much

[54:30] as they

[54:31] can so this morning you and I as a

[54:34] Christian have to make a

[54:36] decision so you and I today are one of

[54:39] two things I want to illustrate this

[54:42] morning now don't be

[54:45] alarmed thinking Pastor didn't get

[54:48] started till later I've already preached

[54:50] part of this message one time in 20

[54:52] minutes so maybe I'll get this other one

[54:55] done in 25

[54:58] but as we look at the world around us

[55:00] today and we consider what the world is

[55:02] like today just like Daniel there's a

[55:05] tool that we can use that we are

[55:08] spiritually speaking this is

[55:11] a thermometer very good and when you

[55:15] squeeze the trigger it tells you the

[55:16] temperature it says I have none let's

[55:18] try it

[55:20] again it's really messed

[55:24] up let's try it one more time

[55:26] think the sweat's confusing it it says

[55:28] my current body temperature is

[55:31] 92.8 I'm in

[55:35] trouble but a thermometer measures the

[55:38] temperature around it it's all it does

[55:43] some of you have them just outside your

[55:45] window you look outside oh it's 105

[55:47] today I think I'll stay inside in the

[55:49] air

[55:50] conditioning the thermometer measures

[55:52] the temperature around you and

[55:55] spiritually speaking many Christians are

[55:58] today in 2024 spiritual

[56:01] thermometers they're mer they're they're

[56:04] measuring the spiritual temperature in

[56:07] the areas that they're in and they're in

[56:09] they're just saying yep it's a wicked

[56:14] world I measure the temperature that I'm

[56:16] in oh I'm around church people I can be

[56:19] more

[56:21] spiritual oo I'm around non-church

[56:25] people

[56:26] should not say spiritual

[56:29] things so you can be a thermometer that

[56:32] measures the spiritual temperature of

[56:35] the world you live in and just evaluates

[56:37] yep it's a wicked world look how bad it

[56:40] is look what they did look what they did

[56:43] on the Olympics look what they've done

[56:45] with this movement and that just look

[56:47] it's just it's just so wicked and just

[56:50] measure it like we do with the

[56:53] temperature or

[56:56] you can be one of

[56:58] these this is a

[57:00] thermostat it measures

[57:03] temperature and then produces an

[57:07] effect because of the temperature around

[57:10] it it measures the temperature but then

[57:15] it produces an

[57:17] effect because of the temperature around

[57:19] it see everybody in the room listen to

[57:22] me very closely you can be a thermometer

[57:25] that measures the susp spiritual

[57:27] temperature in this wicked world or you

[57:29] can be a thermostat who measures it and

[57:31] takes action who does something about it

[57:34] we can choose to just measure the

[57:36] society we live in and the wickedness

[57:39] that it has and do nothing about it or

[57:42] we can take action like a thermostat and

[57:45] measure and say hey somebody needs to do

[57:47] something and that somebody is me

[57:49] somebody needs to step up somebody needs

[57:52] to speak up somebody needs to stand up

[57:54] and do that which is right and we got to

[57:56] measure the spiritual temperature and be

[57:59] a thermostat don't just be a thermometer

[58:01] that measures it and does nothing about

[58:03] it be a thermostat now this thermostat

[58:06] here that I'm holding right here can do

[58:09] nothing to affect the temperature in

[58:10] this room you want to know why it's got

[58:13] no

[58:15] batteries and it's not plugged in to the

[58:19] thing that can make the temperature

[58:22] change and if you and I want to be a

[58:24] thermostat you got to have power power

[58:26] from God and you got to be plugged in to

[58:29] God cuz God is the one who can make the

[58:32] change God is the one who can change

[58:35] this nation to be what it ought to be it

[58:38] starts with you first it won't happen on

[58:42] a local level it won't happen on a state

[58:45] level won't happen on a national level

[58:47] or a worldwide level till it happens in

[58:49] your heart you got to be the thermostat

[58:53] who's plugged in Daniel lived in a

[58:56] wicked wicked world he lived in a world

[58:58] that hated God he lived in a world that

[59:01] wanted nothing to do with God he lived

[59:03] in a world that was taking away his past

[59:06] taking away and manipulating his present

[59:08] trying to take away his future but God

[59:11] was still God and guess what happened to

[59:13] Nebuchadnezzar he

[59:15] died and Daniel was still

[59:18] there and another king came and another

[59:21] king came and another king came and

[59:24] Daniel was still there generation after

[59:27] generation 70 years in Babylon Daniel

[59:32] was a

[59:36] thermostat we get to chapter

[59:39] six Cyrus comes

[59:42] in and Cyrus is so

[59:45] affected by Daniel's

[59:49] testimony and the faithfulness of

[59:52] God it doesn't happen if he didn't on

[59:55] purpose purpose live with a purpose and

[59:58] Daniel's purpose in his heart was not to

[60:01] turn a l Leaf over Daniel's purpose in

[60:04] his heart was God is God and God is in

[60:08] control of

[60:10] me so if you want to be a thermostat in

[60:13] 2024 that causes effect and causes

[60:15] change in the spiritual climate of this

[60:17] world you got to remember on purpose

[60:20] with the purpose God's got to be in

[60:21] control of you you got to get out of the

[60:24] way and let God have his way

[60:26] you got to let God be in control of you

[60:29] you get to

[60:30] choose it's your choice to be a

[60:33] themometer or

[60:36] thermostat it's your

[60:38] choice we already know we can already

[60:41] say Amen the world is

[60:43] wicked we know

[60:46] it what are you going to do about

[60:49] it so let's take some action here's what

[60:51] thermostat Christians do they pray

[60:54] regularly thermostat Christians pray

[60:58] regularly thermostat Christians witness

[61:02] regularly amen thermostat Christians

[61:06] pray regularly and witness regularly

[61:09] thermostat Christians have a

[61:11] relationship with the Bible and the

[61:13] Bible has a relationship with them

[61:16] that's what thermostat Christians do

[61:18] thermostat Christians look for

[61:21] opportunities to be involved in the

[61:23] influence of Christ in this world

[61:26] World some of you God may be calling you

[61:30] to run for the public school

[61:33] board he may be calling you to that

[61:36] Ministry some of you God may be calling

[61:38] to public

[61:40] office some of you need to listen up God

[61:42] may be wanting you to serve in your

[61:45] public Community he may be wanting you

[61:46] to serve as a Chaplain to the police

[61:48] department or chaplain to the fire

[61:49] department or way of encouragement to

[61:51] people or whatever it might be God might

[61:54] be calling you it's no good to just be a

[61:56] thermometer and say the world is wicked

[61:59] the world is wicked the world is wicked

[62:02] be the thermostat who causes an effect

[62:04] to

[62:05] happen it's your

[62:08] choice you can be the thermometer

[62:10] Christian or the thermostat Christian

[62:12] it's your choice guess where God put you

[62:15] he put you on your job why' he put you

[62:17] at your job to be a thermostat there of

[62:21] spirituality he put you there to

[62:23] influence that job environment for

[62:26] Christ not just to measure how spiritual

[62:31] your co-workers

[62:33] are hey hey we rolled up to your job and

[62:39] we asked your

[62:40] co-workers if they knew you were a

[62:42] Christian what would their answer

[62:47] be we ask your co-workers when was the

[62:50] last time you invited them to church

[62:52] what would their answer be

[62:58] hey it it's amazing when you get

[63:00] co-workers who know you're a

[63:03] Christian when something's going on in

[63:04] their life hey can you pray for

[63:06] me that I'll encourage your heart

[63:09] they're recognizing there's something in

[63:11] you I mentioned

[63:13] earlier Satan doesn't have to mock Islam

[63:16] he doesn't have to mock Buddhism he

[63:18] doesn't have to mock Hinduism he doesn't

[63:20] have to mock any of those others there's

[63:21] only one

[63:23] religion quote unquote religion there's

[63:25] only one one thing he's worried about

[63:27] and that's

[63:30] Christ you say why don't they do that to

[63:32] the other he's not bothered by them

[63:35] they're pulling people away from Jesus

[63:37] Christ why would he be bothered with

[63:39] that that's part of his

[63:41] goal but Christ in us has an effect on

[63:47] others on purpose with a purpose Daniel

[63:49] now I want you to notice look at verse

[63:53] 10 and the prince of the the unic said

[63:56] unto Daniel I fear my Lord I fear my

[63:59] Lord the king who hath appointed your

[64:01] meat and your drink for why should he

[64:03] see your faces worse liking than the

[64:05] children which are of your sort then

[64:07] shall he ye make me in danger my head to

[64:10] the king then said Daniel to melzar who

[64:14] the princes of the Unix had said over

[64:15] Daniel hananiah mishel and Azariah watch

[64:18] this verse 12

[64:20] prove thy servants

[64:26] whoa whoa verse eight he purposed verse

[64:30] 12 it's

[64:33] plural prove thy

[64:35] servants I beseech thee 10 days let them

[64:38] give us pulse to eat and water to drink

[64:41] then let our countenances plural be

[64:44] looked upon before thee and the

[64:46] countenance of the children that eat of

[64:47] the portion of the king's meat that thou

[64:49] see us deal with thy servants plural

[64:53] verse eight it was one guy Daniel by

[64:56] verse 12 there's other guys we know

[64:58] mentioned haniah Michel and Azariah

[65:00] these four there may have been others

[65:01] but wait a minute I want to draw your

[65:03] attention back to verse 11 and back to

[65:06] verse 12 verse 12 prove thy servants I

[65:10] bese the 10 days let them give us pul to

[65:11] eat water to drink then let our

[65:13] countenances be looked upon before thee

[65:15] in the countenance of the children that

[65:20] eat there were other ones that were

[65:22] taken from Judah that were brought into

[65:26] captivity that had the same God had the

[65:29] same God who chose to

[65:33] eat who chose to

[65:36] forsake God who chose to give in to

[65:43] temptation just because you got the same

[65:45] Christian background doesn't mean you're

[65:47] on purpose living with a

[65:49] purpose it won't happen by

[65:53] accident but you ought to be encouraged

[65:55] from verse 8 to verse 12 to recognize

[65:58] one person affected

[66:03] others one thermostat Christian can

[66:07] affect other

[66:10] Christians can encourage other

[66:13] Christians to live for

[66:15] God don't just measure the spiritual

[66:18] temperature of the world be a thermostat

[66:21] that brings about an

[66:23] effect it's your choice

[66:27] everybody knows the world is wicked but

[66:29] what are you doing about

[66:31] it everybody knows there's wickedness in

[66:34] high places Ephesians tells us that

[66:37] Ephesians tells us we wrestle not

[66:38] against flesh and blood but against

[66:39] principalities against Powers against

[66:40] the rulers of Darkness of this world

[66:42] against spiritual wickedness in high

[66:45] places spiritual wickedness

[66:48] abounding what are you going to do about

[66:52] it thermometer Christians just measure

[66:54] it and say yep world's Wicked thermostat

[66:57] Christians take

[67:00] action some of us are not the proper

[67:02] thermostat because our batteries have

[67:05] died need to get recharged and replugged

[67:09] in get your strength from

[67:13] God Daniel purposed in his

[67:16] heart we're all Sinners the world is

[67:19] wicked but God needs some saved Sinners

[67:23] to produce an effect in this wicked

[67:28] World guess who he chose for such a time

[67:33] as

[67:35] this want you to listen verse number one

[67:38] 605 BC that's when they arrived guess

[67:41] who was living during that time Daniel

[67:43] haniah Michel Azariah it's no accident

[67:47] they were the ones taken captive during

[67:50] that time because God wanted to use them

[67:52] in wicked old Babylon

[67:56] guess what Christian you're living in

[67:59] 2024 it's no accident God still got you

[68:04] here because he wants you to be a

[68:05] thermostat of spirituality in this

[68:08] wicked world that we live in and have an

[68:10] effect on those around you for the cause

[68:12] of

[68:13] Christ if you're still breathing God's

[68:16] not through with you yet so let's be

[68:19] Christians 24 hours a day 7 days a week

[68:23] 365 days a year and 3

[68:25] 66 on Leap Year all the time live for

[68:30] God won't happen by accident you got to

[68:32] live for God on purpose with the purpose

[68:35] the purpose is that they may see

[68:40] Christ this week we had a great vacation

[68:43] bible

[68:44] school we had teaching each

[68:48] night we had three precious young people

[68:51] accept Jesus Christ as their

[68:53] savior all the m money all the work all

[68:58] the long days all the staying up late to

[69:01] build stuff all the hard labor all that

[69:03] is worth

[69:06] it because three young people accepted

[69:08] Christ as their savior it's worth

[69:13] it all the gifts that were bought all

[69:16] the snacks that were bought it's worth

[69:18] it but not only were their souls saved

[69:21] there were hearts that heard the

[69:23] teaching and preaching of the word of

[69:24] God that saw it live out on the stage

[69:28] with the the city of evil that saw it

[69:31] throughout the skits hey it it's not

[69:34] normal VBS to have your last night skit

[69:37] have a young person come in who was on

[69:39] the road to faithfield they got saved

[69:40] earlier in the week trying to live for

[69:42] God on the road to faithville coming in

[69:44] a wheelchair going through a hard time

[69:46] and we asked him did the bad guy do this

[69:48] to you no I was just living for God

[69:50] reading my Bible praying and this

[69:53] happened that's life

[69:57] difficult things happen in the Christian

[69:59] life but God is still good all the

[70:02] time and Stanley in our skits looks up

[70:05] at brother Josh and says why did God

[70:08] allow this to

[70:10] happen we didn't give him an

[70:14] answer now the bad guy had all sorts of

[70:17] it's because God hates you it's because

[70:20] God wants to see you hurt it's because

[70:22] God doesn't like you that's not the

[70:24] truth

[70:26] but at the end of The Skit the closing

[70:29] program the guy who had represented the

[70:32] bad guy all week

[70:33] long went and we had a cross right over

[70:36] here he knelt down at the cross and

[70:38] accepted Christ as his

[70:40] savior brother Josh looked at the skit

[70:43] guy Stanley and this is what he said

[70:45] there is your

[70:48] why your why is because through your

[70:54] pain he

[70:55] saw Jesus in

[70:58] you we don't always know why we go

[71:00] through hard times but if they can see

[71:03] Jesus in us there's your

[71:07] why they can open their eyes to see

[71:13] him so how's your week

[72:00] life where you've accepted Jesus Christ
