INTRO:
How many of you are enjoying the journey so far?
For those of you who are new or online we are looking at people in the Bible, and answering the question, “ how shall we live?
Using them as our examples
As we look at them and what they went through, it helps us navigate this life.
I am talking to people on a regular basis that are asking the same question
How do i do life in this messed up world?
We live in a time here in the USA when your history and identity are being erased.
You don't know who you are or where you come from.
This is a tactic that the enemy has used for centuries to obliterate a culture or a people.
This isn’t a question that
Last week I believe the Lord gave us the word “Engage”
If we engage with God - there is nothing we cannot accomplish
This means much more than merely surviving - AMEN
When we connect with Jesus we will have fruit.
We have learned in the last month that many world changers in the Bible were people of Repentance.
They were people that believed in course corrections.
Constantly before the Lord confessing and asking God for help
David is such a great example of that wasn’t he - A man after Gods own heart.
How many Davids do we have in the room?
Transition
Some of the ladies in the room are asking hey what about the women in the Bible..............
Ladies how about Esther
A little orphan girl from the tribe of Benjamin - A nobody - Do you know what the Persian meaning of the word Esther means - It means star .
Esther becomes a star.
WOW
This orphan girl has a heritage - Mordeci raises her because her family was probably slaughtered by the Babylonians .
Little Hadessah, she is a Jew in a unfavorable culture.
Her story is one of deliverance - In the midst of bondage.
An evil edict went out to kill all the Jews - this would have been the end of a culture.
Can you see the fingerprints of Satan all over this.
She has only one plan
Pray and confront the king head on.
No plan B
Pushing the doors open ( according to the Movie) scripture said she stood up in the midst.
She petitioned the king for her people and won
She became the vessel for deliverance.
So how many Esther’s do we have in the room today?
So over and over again we see a word that is exemplified by men and women of the bible.
Christian men and women of today and our youth of tomorrow.
COURAGE
Be strong and courageous - It can be defined as having bravery, or daring or having strength.
Lets look at anther individual
Daniel a young man
Daniel’s Hebrew name is a combination of two words which are restraint and kindness.
He was from the tribe of Judah
taken into exile.
He had to figure out a new way of living.
Daniel had the gift or wisdom according to Jewish scholars
He interpreted dreams
He knew how to pray
He trusted in His God to give him an answer.
Listen to how Daniel describes his God
His character
He did not succumb to the many idols of Babylon
The Babylonians wanted to convert Daniel to there ways and there language.
and interesting to note - also the food.
It is easier to control people when they are absorbed into the culture.
Daniel stood firm in the faith
Nebuchadnezzer gets a big head and makes an image of himself 90 feet tall.
He wants everyone to worship him.
He sets a time and day and a command that whoever doesn’t worship the image he will be thrown into a fiery furnace.
Daniel and his friends don’t worship the image and said something amazing to a crat king
Daniel was unfazed by the command .
He proceeded to climb to the upper story of his home where his windows faced Jerusalem, to pray three times a day as he had always done
This puts him in hot water and he is summoned by an angry king
So how shall we then live
In worship of the one true God.
never giving room for any other idol.
Daniel is tempted again by Belshazzar the new up and coming regent .
God writes a message on a wall in the kings palace in the presence of the king.
OK how do you handle that
The Regent is freaked out lucky he has a wife who calms him down.
For all you married men in here say thank you Jesus for your wife.
He gets a hold of Daniel and offers him everything he could ever want
Big gold chain , plenty of money - who does that remind you of
Daniel says keep your gifts or give them away- Paraphrase- I don’t need your money, Ive got God.
Listen Daniel could of lied about the writing on the wall.
It said Dan 5:26-28
Daniel speaks the truth and lives to see another day.
Not only that but gives us visions about the end times.
WOW
Conclusion
So how shall we then live?
With
Character and Courage
It is ok to be a Christian
Its OK to say I am not bowing down to any one but Jesus
Its OK to stand your ground on all issues relating to faith , morality.
Is OK to take this nation back to its roots
It OK to love God and your neighbor.
Its OK to be a man
Its OK to be a woman
Its OK to be married an believe in the traditional family
Its OK to believe in miracles.
In the word we have characters and no courage.
We have fake heroes, when God has already brought us real life ones.
Our heroes have real blood running through their veins.
You can live like one of Gods heroes.
Daniels parents must have been so proud.
