Sunday Service

And with me, as I attempt to present the word of God this morning. I just want to say a small prayer. Lord Jesus. I love you this morning. I praise you this morning. I magnify your name because you care for me in such a special way. Thank you, Lord, for your wisdom and your faithfulness. Thank you, Lord. For the conversation with the woman at the well for your patient exchange. Hallelujah, for your compassion towards me at 5 Center. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, reflect your love and your truth. Hallelujah. You ran King of Kings. It's morning and then you ran Lord of Lord this morning. Stay close to me. Lord, there with me, Lord Jesus. I pray. There is only one God one thing now and forever. Amen, and amen. Hallelujah. You may be seated in the presence of God this morning. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Today is supposed to be women Sunday. Hallelujah, women's Department, Mighty God. Hallelujah, but also this month of May is mental health, awareness month. Hallelujah. There's so much stigma going on about mental health. There was a time when people say you crazy and then say and you laugh and you know, you can't afford to do that because it is someone's truth. Hallelujah. So we want us to be careful with all the words. We want to remember those that are struggling. It might be the person next to you. You don't know what they're going through. Your mind is a powerful thing. So I put some information on the front of the page this morning. When you get a chance take it home, read it and learn it and be kind with your words to someone that's acting a little peculiar. Amen. Praise the name of Jesus.

But I always say that.

And we're coming from Daniel chapter 3. Now we all know the story of Daniel and the lion, the three Hebrew, boys Rack Shack and Benny, Hallelujah, but this morning, I'm going to give you a different take on it. I don't know if you heard it before, but if you do just say, Amen. Anyhow, we all know the story that kidnap, you can either build a statue, a big, statue 90 cubits. Hallelujah, hallelujah, and you put it right in the center of town. To listen to me for the first time. I need your help. That's not what he said, but I'm talking to brother Chris right now. But he said, anytime you hear the music music, anytime you hear me? That's how important he thought he was after all. He was the king. He said he called all the important people that, Senator, the governor to politicians. And he said, anytime your hair music.

Bow Down and Worship me. The name of my message today is don't bow. Don't tell me this morning. The Book of Daniel is mostly about Daniel and his three friends. The Cavaliers were young Jewish men who was forced to leave their Homeland first to leave their traditions, and their family, and their friends, and go to a Strange Land and when they got there, no. Remember It is sad that even the Christians, only remember them by their Babylonian name, Shadrach Meshach and Abednego was not their names.

They had names that honored, God like whom God love. Whom God helps. Remember Hebrew every name that they give people was exactly what it is. So if that's it I give her that's what your name gift. Or get stir their names. Reflect exactly what the thing was in Hebrew. So when it says a midget named man, whom God love, trust me, God love him. God will protect trust me. God protecting him. And we knew that he did, but I spend it went to this strange country and paraphrasing. They were forced to change their names and sometimes people don't want call you who you are. That won't do. Don't want to call you. What side of God didn't call you anything else, but the child of God, but I'm here to tell somebody today. It doesn't matter what they call you when God loves you and God is committed to protecting you, you're gone.

So, I'm going to use the three Hebrew, boys to talk to you today about don't bow, even in your circumstances. And then I'm going to tell you how these boys witness. I'm going to give you three, the three C's in witnessing this morning. But first, I got to know, you got to be committed to Campbell. I let me tell you a little bit about Shadrach Meshach in a Bendigo. And Danielle, they weren't equipped because I'm Daniel one and two. Before you get the Priestess study, the new language. They were going to the country. They were going States Park, what they needed to know if they'll learn about the countries and who the king.

So, they weren't equipped. But they also know, if you notice, the Bible said that when they thought they all spoke together, like they're singing a song. It's all worth it and stirred. It didn't say, Shedrick answer that meets at father. They were in one place and one Accord with one mind.

Don't bow. It doesn't matter what they call you, but let me tell you the three men ended up being caught up in some mess. You know, sometimes you talkin to some people and the worst thing you could do is make a mistake an actor. How you doing?

App that you can cut up into some confusion or some foolishness of some nonsense, make you regret asking them how they were. You should have just said, good morning. I kept walking.

Sometimes even when you said, good morning, somebody turned back. What is good about it? It doesn't matter what you say or what you do. Somebody got a problem with it. And I'm going to show you, not only these people had a problem with it. They had reporter the wrong them. Give me because when they came and the King change their names, he also put them in power. Some of the symbol on your site was there was no power. They weren't doing nothing. But soon as this new foreigners came and they became and power inside watching them. They don't want the job before but soon as somebody else got it, then watching them fool as you slip up.

I let me prove it to you.

When they play the music.

Hallelujah.

No, the tree boys didn't ball. But they didn't protest. Did you don't even see them on the street corners? And when I go worship, Jesus is the only King didn't do none of that. Did Justin. But there were those reporters watching them. I'm listen to the mortgage of what they said. Sometimes you got to pay attention to what people say. They'll run straight to the king. I'm just said the words King. Nephew. Can I see? The people that you have put in power in position, then just say that everybody must borrow, you know, he said that, but you're going to ask him, did he say that everybody should go? Well, let me tell you the truth people that you f****** power over us.

Then just throw them into the furnace. Didn't know how to pluck the Kings nerve, and the King was a little foolish. And then he called them by. Then. He didn't bring anybody to bring Shadrach Meshach, in a Bendigo. Bring them to me. But again. Pay attention to the Vero Beach. Nebuchadnezzar that we know how about King Wok? The three boys and bring them to any said is that true?

He didn't say if I hear another info into the furnace. He talked with them. Remember, I told you. I preached one time, have a conversation with the devil. Have a conversation with your enemy. Enemies asking you, except you. After I put this thing here and I thought about down, you did not bow down. He didn't wait for them to answer. He's a very well good, after I put the music. Play the music from now on.

But this is where the three C's of witnessing come in. Oh, yeah, somebody you're with me this morning. The three species of Kristen witnessing first one is competent. Second. One is conversation and the third one was care since I already told you. They already studied in chapter 1 and chapter 2. So therefore that knew what three score cubits.

They were going to have a conversation with the King, and this is what they said, all together. King your majesty. Board word for word. We do not need to defend ourselves in this matter conversation. Respect. Didn't know that. He was the king, then you. Did must be obedient to the laws of the land. But whatever you say, My God Is Bigger Than, and I really like both, but I'm playing to you. He said, they said we do not need to defend ourselves in this matter because the God who will be able to come your hand. But just in case he don't save us know this had a, but they didn't have to.

Did Paul's then that's it, but just in case he don't save us. Really, will not bow. Man conversation with your enemy.

I'm going to fast forward a little bit to see sometimes when you have a conversation with the devil or your enemy or someone that wants to do something that you don't want to do, have a conversation with them. You don't know how you can turn things around. But these boys were confident in their God. I'm not sure they were confident in each other. We didn't talk about it and I don't care about that, but there were confident in their God and they had a conversation. Just in case he don't just so, you know, we will not bow your majesty. Different recognized, who he was. That's what the conversation. No, just imagine heaven. You're you're at the door and you have a bunch of keys and I said to you think this one key and open this door, but you get to the door and the key is the wrong key, but you're standing there fighting and fighting. Why wouldn't this? This is the one to give me. Why wouldn't it work? Let me turn it up. Turn it down. Put it back. Put it back in. You still standing at the door, but the key won't fit that is like having a conversation in the wrong time and the wrong place. You have to use your brain and let the Holy Spirit. Give you some sense let you know when to speak, when not to speak. You don't have to be on the street corner protesting nothing. Wait for your opportunity for students to have direct conversations at the right time. Man, it's like having a key to the wrong door, or being at the right tool with the wrong key.

So Nebuchadnezzar said, okay, since you won't bother I'm just throw you all in it up seven times hotter. I don't know what happened your life today. It might even get seven times hotter, but I'm here to tell. Somebody don't bother don't bother in the middle of your crisis. Don't bother in the middle of your health situation in the middle of your friends or family. It doesn't matter what it looks like dumbbell. Hold on a little longer. Hold on. Somebody hang in there. Hallelujah, your fingernails painted my toenails. What does it hang in there?

Rip for your chance to witness. I'm have your enemy's weakness for, you know, the first C is here.

And I love you. We just read it. So Brendon and Natalie read it. That's a no nephew can either majesty. And your king, your highness. Those were chosen those words, because that's who he was. The only thing he was not is bigger than they're gone, but he was big in his town. He had the power to throw them in. But let me tell you he also had the power to call them out. Because as he walked away with his chest puffed out, you have nobody disrespected me in my house. Are you crazy? I said, do you want to die?

I know he walked away because the Bible said he is after why he came close to the opening of the furnace, because when he was a far-off, you look. And he said,

Can we throw 3 in? But I see four and one of them look like the Son of God. How does he know what the fun of God looks like?

Tell me God is not making your enemies starting to get words of Pepsi pipe for you. Pizza. And one of them walking around loose and unharmed because your teeth and throw them in. I'm one of them look like the son of God. That's nephew tonight to talk about the son of God.

I've been walking around loose than Sam. Nephew. Could Nizer, that's close to the opening and you look and then he shouted come here.

The same people, he throwing that he calling him. Come, come here, and they walked out, and they came here. And let me tell you what nebakanezer, then you turn around and you tell, everybody breakfast, me the name of the Lord, the god of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego, any one of y'all. Everyone of y'all talk bad about that. God. I don't talk to you all into pieces and I will dismantle your house. Cuz there's nobody greater than this man who could save them from this matter. This is your, this is your enemy testifying for you and your God damn. Well. Hallelujah.

I don't care what her. Find it in your ears. I don't care what the truth is, playing Dumbo.

It's all right.

Alright, I'm telling you as long as you have King Jesus. It's alright, or the other kings. Not so important. What is how they answered Nebuchadnezzar? We do not need to defend and argue the Bible with. Nobody, don't fight about the scriptures. I don't care if they think they're more smart than you. It's okay. You can think whatever you want of yourself. When I think of myself, I think highly of myself.

Because I don't know if you will. But I also think highly of you.

And these men were wearing their rooms women and their trousers and everything, not even the here since. But the people that throw them in burned, the people that was planning, your demise real people born. God is not coming back with no water coming with fire and brimstone.

What choke somebody dumped out to your circumstances? Don't bother to your family. Don't bother your job. Don't bust or whatever. They're saying don't blow, Hallelujah. God made these three men, his weaknesses and as sure as we need life, oxygen community and companionship. We need Jesus. I said we need Jesus as much as we need oxygen. Let me tell you some benefits, just a nephew. Can I see? He's called about that when they came out. He promoted them.

The reporter that were with them, that Cameron report, the people that you put in charge, I don't know what jobs they had before but whatever it is that got elevated a mountain by the same King.

I'm not going to plow. I'm not going to pause this morning. I want to be a witness, an effective witness competent have no rent to have that conversation and to have it with care. I don't want what I say. Turn someone away. Hallelujah.

I'm not going to buckle not under the pressure of the life. I know sometimes you're bored and feel heavy, but Matthew 11:28 says, if you are Bordentown, Jesus is saying come to me and Rick come to me and wrecked. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. Hallelujah. He have his angels Garden at Watching Over Us differ. I decreed that the people of Any Nation that is within the sound of my voice. I'm telling you, who came to Jesus, don't buckle. Hallelujah. I don't care. If a hundred people is doing it. You don't do it.

Be a better. Witness know what you're talkin about with competence and conversation and Pierre. Chapter one tells us about Daniel and his competent friends study to show yourself approved.

Not everybody have to go to school, but everybody have to read. Not everybody have to go to school. But have you ever have to talk to each other and wake me up in each other? Call your pastor and find out. This is makes sense. I'm not understanding this. Sometimes you just have to ship sit down and shut your mouth, shut the noise off and let the Holy Spirit revealed to you. Shut off your smartness, shut off your education. And just listen to the still voice of the Holy Spirit.

You don't have to get crazy and stand on no Street Corner because my Bible tells me a lot about people that does that I know everybody feel their right. And everybody think is okay. But my Bible said, they already are getting their reward. Not need forgot to give you none because you're getting the notice of the people.

That's what it says and more than one example, wait, for the right moment to talk to the right person at the right time, and you better know your tone. If the person is a doctor, you calling my doctor. If they're a nurse practitioner, you better call them if they're the president of their company address them as president. Hallelujah. If you're a teacher said teacher, if you're a mother you said mother listen to, we work hard for our degrees. I'm not saying to walk around in the supermarket, then start the drugs to try, but I'm saying, when the time is right, you addressed me, right? Hallelujah.

John Powell. God is gracious and his compulsions and slow to anger. He is steadfast in love. That's what they said to nebakanezer. I want you to know. Well, what do you want the people to know in your conversation? You want them to know that God loves them, God cares for them. He's willing to save them. All. They have to do is say, yes. I believe that he is King of Kings. He died from the any rules against that, he's coming again. Don't bow, but if you don't read, you will know that you going to be speaking what your hair, your great-grandmother used to speak and you might end up telling somebody that do not swallow the whale. Cheese sauce.

Read for yourself. Not every person preaching at get up and run around and kicking up their heels. You just don't know. You don't know what they're saying. I should have said, what the message was. I don't know, but I felt good insurance. You come here for the word, you come here to grow a little to no, Orlando. And it's not for you. It's for you to share with somebody else. They all sickness. I'm not going to bother you. I'm not going to bother you. I'm not going to you, Hallelujah. Sometimes they're in your family. They just want to upset your very peace and your, then on your spirits. But let me tell you, my Bible said, don't because I pray about you. But after I'm done praying about you, I'm going to print out about you and for you, and I'm going to call my brother Jesus, and I'm going to tell Jesus will make this my lady. Come bother me for my business, please, I'm going to say, if you don't want to go. I'm going to go straight to Mom for me. Hallelujah. Take care of my problem. That troubling my spirit, and my spirit.

I'm calling my father and my brother to handle my business for me. So be careful. Touch not God's anointed and do his Prophet. No harm. Don't try to hurt.

Remember, I told you that because when you are thrown into your furnace, you are not going to be alone. God is going to be walking up and down in there with you. He's going to be right there with you. I could just imagine we be singing. I'm smiling all the way up through your troubles. Somebody said she crazy. I don't know what's wrong with him. How do you say smiling in love with you? Because I know who's walking with me. I know who is talking with me, Mighty God. He is my brother. He is my father. He is with me. Always.

In case you don't change. Your situation. If you are sick and he don't hear you, that is his business, not yours. Your job is still to hold on and don't let him do it for you on YouTube.

But not because he said he's going to hear me. He might just called me home. Because he know, if I said, I remember my mom praying a prayer. I don't remember the whole thing, but part of it says called. All of my children, even if it's by the skin of your teeth, bring them in for me. If you know that they're going to live one more day and Miss Heaven, take them now.

Could you imagine the Covenant? You have to have with the Lord to make such a statement? And we're all still here. That means we still have work to do for the Lord to do. Hallelujah. So let's pick her mother proud. Let's hold onto her Covenant with God and don't bow in the midst of this stress ball. In the midst of this, don't power in the midst of confusion. Just say to it, your majesty. I don't need to borrow. And I don't need to explain myself either. The only thing I can tell you is that my God is able. What are friendly to not to offend you don't?

I Will Not Bow. God bless you.

Yes, Lord.
