- 0:29Take the gift card. Take the gift card.
- 0:31Yeah, because they might put what's that thing that was going
- 0:34around in? The Internet.
- 0:35Had a lot of questions to ask when this clip was first
- 0:40released. He didn't move Blake or nothing.
- 0:44Notice how the presenter suddenly changes when she says
- 0:49Holy Ghost. Saying Catholic school leave
- 0:52room for the Holy Ghost. Anyway, there it's a lot of
- 0:56memories today. Actually, it's a big day in
- 0:58music history. The King of Rock'n'roll.
- 0:59And as Mark Cohen says in his great song Walking in Memphis,
- 1:03there's a PrettyLittleThing waiting.
- 1:04For the. As you can see, not everything
- 1:07is as it seems. But here is the big.
- 1:19Question what do you think is the reason for all of these
- 1:24celebrities freezing on live tvi don't have an answer and that's
- 1:29why I'm asking you I'm. Sorry I.
- 1:42Wasn't a trance. Speaking of Sean, that's two
- 1:45Chainz. You got a shot, 2 Chainz got a
- 1:47shot. Let me see the shot, dawg.
- 1:55Look at this reporter's face when Hillary Clinton also did
- 2:00something unexpected. Did you talk about?
- 2:03Vice Presidential. Possibilities in Senator.
- 2:16OK, before I tell you why I've shown you these people acting in
- 2:19this way, I want to make something abundantly clear.
- 2:22I don't know how many of these celebrities are staging
- 2:26something just to get us talking, or how many of them are
- 2:29just a little eccentric in their personalities.
- 2:32Or perhaps it really is, as the other side of the Internet
- 2:35claims. Maybe something bigger is
- 2:37happening beneath the surface. But what I do know is that
- 2:41people need to stop calling us Christians crazy and irrational.
- 2:46Just. Because we put our faith in the
- 2:48Lord Jesus and just because we believe in the stories of the
- 2:51Bible. So why did I show you those
- 2:53people? Well, the truth.
- 2:54Is this the? People of the world who don't
- 2:58believe in Jesus and don't believe in the stories.
- 3:01Of the Bible. Are often.
- 3:02Much more. Unusual and unstable in many
- 3:05ways. Did you know that in the Bible
- 3:08there was a very famous man who completely lost it because he
- 3:12thought he was better than God? King Nebuchadnezzar was probably
- 3:17the most powerful man on earth at one time.
- 3:19He spent 35 years of his life conquering the entire world, and
- 3:24at the time we meet him, he had just finished creating the
- 3:27world's first empire. And boy was he proud of himself.
- 3:31One day, while Nebuchadnezzar was at ease in his palace,
- 3:34flourishing without a care in the world, out of nowhere,
- 3:37sudden dread overwhelmed the king when he saw a certain
- 3:41vision in the vision King Nebuchadnezzar.
- 3:43Sees a vast. Tree A tree that is so tall it
- 3:47reaches the. Sky so.
- 3:48Impressive that it's visible to the rest of the earth.
- 3:50This tree, unlike any other, provided shade for the animals,
- 3:54and all the creatures of the earth were fed by its fruit.
- 3:59But here's what made Nebuchadnezzar uneasy.
- 4:01We are all. Being.
- 4:03Watched a watcher or an Angel descended from heaven and began
- 4:08to chop the branches. The leaves the.
- 4:11Fruits and eventually the entire tree down.
- 4:15Are you picturing this right now?
- 4:16Here is this. Tree which surpassed every other
- 4:20tree on earth and in an instant it was removed and all that
- 4:23remained was the stump which according to the vision was then
- 4:27plated by bronze and iron. In other words it was to be kept
- 4:31alive and it was to be protected for another time.
- 4:35Things then get even worse as Nebuchadnezzar in his vision was
- 4:40shown a man who was transformed into a grass eating, field
- 4:44dwelling animal and this man then remained in that.
- 4:46State for seven. Years.
- 4:49It is almost incredible how this colossal man went from
- 4:53flourishing on the outside to being troubled.
- 4:56On the inside. So troubled was Nebuchadnezzar
- 4:59by the vision that he called the wisest man in the palace.
- 5:02But none of them could interpret his dream, except for one man,
- 5:07Daniel. However, Daniel did not have
- 5:10good news to share. So bad was the fate of this king
- 5:13that Daniel spent one hour astounded by what the vision
- 5:17really meant. Eventually, Daniel was able to
- 5:20compose himself, and he painted the picture very plainly for the
- 5:24king. This great big tree that is
- 5:27visible to the whole world is you, Nebuchadnezzar.
- 5:31And just like in the vision, God is going to shake you off that
- 5:35throne of gold, and he's going to make you eat grass like an
- 5:39animal. Because just like the tree, your
- 5:42pride was large, so your fall will be equally large.
- 5:46But listen to me, God did not just leave Nebuchadnezzar
- 5:48without hope. He actually offered him a door
- 5:51of exit from this swift judgment.
- 5:53The Bible says. Therefore, O king, let my advice
- 5:57be acceptable to you. Break off your sins by being
- 6:00righteous and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor.
- 6:03Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity.
- 6:08Did you catch that? In other words, this doom was
- 6:11not final. The writing was not yet on the
- 6:14wall. God was extending His hand of
- 6:17grace to Nebuchadnezzar one more time.
- 6:20He had one last opportunity to avoid this calamity, and is all
- 6:24he had to do was repent. But did he?
- 6:28No 12 whole months went by, there was 365 opportunities to
- 6:35turn from this sin and to humble himself.
- 6:38And yet King Nebuchadnezzar did nothing.
- 6:41Am I? The only one who thinks this
- 6:43sounds very familiar. All God has to do is simply
- 6:47place His finger on an area of your life and He could shake you
- 6:51to your very core. It only.
- 6:52Takes one letter, one doctor's appointment, one knock on the
- 6:56door, one text, one phone call, one second and you could be
- 7:00brought to your knees for days, months, and even years.
- 7:05Every single one of us has had those defining moments in our
- 7:09life. And in in the moments of that
- 7:11crisis, maybe you yourself have even said these very words.
- 7:15Something has to change. That's it.
- 7:18I'm going to turn my life around.
- 7:20I will be the man of God you want me to be.
- 7:23I will be the woman of God you've been calling me to be.
- 7:26And we often say these things in the heat of the moment.
- 7:30And then the sermon ends. Time goes by, the crisis is
- 7:33over, and you forget all the vows you once made, all the
- 7:37lessons you learned, and that sense of urgency to repent grows
- 7:42fainter and fainter until in the end, absolutely nothing changes.
- 7:48That, my friend, is exactly what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar
- 7:51one year after you received this startling vision from the Lord.
- 7:55After that long extension of grace, here we find King
- 7:58Nebuchadnezzar filled with pride, strutting around the
- 8:01palace as if he was untouchable. Like many of the men of today,
- 8:05he believed I am the greatest look at everything I've ever
- 8:09built. And while the the words were
- 8:11still in his mouth, he heard a voice from heaven echo.
- 8:15King Nebuchadnezzar, the Kingdom has departed from you.
- 8:20And just like that, the strings of his mind unhinged, and he
- 8:24became like a wild animal. His fingers grew like claws, his
- 8:29hair matted like birds feathers. And the king who ate the finest
- 8:33delicacies in the land was now left outside covered in
- 8:37rainwater and was instead eating.
- 8:41The fact is, this guy's God brought that man down.
- 8:43Oh, he can do it. He has done it.
- 8:46He will do it, and he is still doing it today.
- 8:48OK, yes, he might not be doing it in the same way that he did
- 8:52with King Nebuchadnezzar, but you mark my words, he is.
- 8:55Still humbling men. And women today, Oh my dear
- 8:58friend, if there's one thing you Remember, Remember this God's
- 9:02mills grind slow. Yes, God is patient with us for
- 9:07a season for a season he will let you continue in your sin and
- 9:11pride. But when the time comes, when
- 9:14the clock strikes midnight in your life, He does not delay and
- 9:18his judgement cannot be stopped. The Bible says my spirit will
- 9:23not always strive with man. I don't want to speak foolishly,
- 9:28but as I've been speaking, I wonder if God has been dealing
- 9:31with you because for someone today, it is very likely the end
- 9:35of the line. It could well be your last
- 9:38opportunity, your final call. You've heard God speak to you
- 9:42many times before, but you've delayed.
- 9:44Do you know this wasn't the first time that God spoke to
- 9:47Nebuchadnezzar? God tried to reach him several
- 9:50times before this very occasion, but each time God's voice got
- 9:54quieter and quieter in Nebuchadnezzar's ears.
- 9:58So I'll ask you again, like Nebuchadnezzar, have you heard
- 10:02God call you many times before, but you have delayed?
- 10:06Do you remember the first time you realized that if you died
- 10:10tonight, you'd be separated from God for all of eternity?
- 10:14Do you remember the first time it dawned on you that you were a
- 10:17Sinner? You were guilty, you were
- 10:19condemned before a holy God, whom you will stand before one
- 10:23day and give an. Account did you?
- 10:25Cry when you heard the message of the cross for the first time,
- 10:30that though you have done wrong, though you have made so many
- 10:34mistakes in life and sinned so greatly, there was One who loved
- 10:38you enough to die in your place and pay the debt for your sin
- 10:42with His very blood so you could be forgiven.
- 10:45Can you remember the day when the scales of your eyes were
- 10:48lifted and the evidence was presented before you so clearly
- 10:52that you knew that this man, Jesus Christ, was totally
- 10:55different from all? Of the.
- 10:57Men, in fact, He alone was the one who you could say I am the
- 11:00greatest, because He alone is the only one to rise from the
- 11:03dead. Can you remember when the voice
- 11:06of God was loud? It was so loud in your ears.
- 11:09Come to me, I'll save you. I'll wash away all of your sins.
- 11:13And then as time went on, it got quieter and quieter, fainter and
- 11:20fainter until you couldn't hear it at all.
- 11:30I don't know what God is calling you to do right now, whether you
- 11:33are to come to the cross for the very first time.
- 11:36And you like Nebuchadnezzar, you need to repent.
- 11:39Because you do know that our story does have a happy ending.
- 11:42No one is too far gone, not even King Nebuchadnezzar.
- 11:46Because after the seven years were up, he realized the error
- 11:49of his ways and he humbled himself, and he was eventually
- 11:53restored to the. Throne, I don't know if.
- 11:55You are already saved, and what God is telling you to do in this
- 11:59particular message is in fact to obey Him.
- 12:01Because for. So long you've ignored his voice
- 12:05when he's told you time and time again to give up this thing.
- 12:09He's laid his finger on a particular area in your life and
- 12:12said lay it aside, dedicate yourself totally to me.
- 12:16But you've continued to go your own way.
- 12:19Well, whatever it is, I'll finish with this big statement.
- 12:22There is nothing more solemn, more serious, than to hear the
- 12:26voice of God, to be touched by Him, to be troubled to the very
- 12:29core, but then to delay, because as time goes on, the more you
- 12:34hear that same message over and over.
- 12:36Again, no. Longer will it trouble you, but
- 12:38this time, rather, it will make you angry.
- 12:41And then as time passes over and over again, eventually this very
- 12:44same message doesn't anger you. It doesn't trouble you.
- 12:47It doesn't touch you. You're actually bored by it
- 12:51because you've delayed for so long.
- 12:53Oh my dear friend, God will not strive with man forever.
- 12:58And if you continue to sit on the fence, there will come a day
- 13:02when you will hear nothing. That's why one of the most
- 13:05foolish things in the world is when a man or a woman says, I'll
- 13:08obey the voice of God when I'm older.
- 13:10When I'm older, I'll become a Christian because do you know
- 13:13something? Do you know what else comes with
- 13:15old age? Hearing loss.
- 13:17And when God speaks to you in those final moments of life, you
- 13:21won't hear a thing. So today, today, if you hear his
- 13:25voice, don't delay and turn to the living God.
