0:00Daniel chapter 1 I'm not preaching
0:02politics today I'm preaching the truth
0:03of God's word
0:05amen Daniel chapter 1 and I want to
0:09speak to you this morning on something
0:12that is different I've never shared this
0:14before but I pray the Holy Spirit makes
0:16it real to you I want to talk about the
0:18ripple effect the ripple effect just
0:22like you throw a pebble into the water
0:24and you see the ripple effect the ripple
0:27effect of
0:28consecration we're fasting Monday and we
0:32do a 21-day fast around this
0:34place and I want to talk about the
0:38ripple effect when a person consecrates
0:41their
0:43life I'll begin reading in Daniel
0:46chapter 1 and we'll just for the sake of
0:49time go to verse
0:51four and so they gathered them all
0:54together young men in whom there was no
0:56blemish but goodlooking gifted in all
1:00wisdom possessing knowledge and quick to
1:04understand the sharpest of the sharp who
1:08had the ability to serve in the king's
1:10Palace in whom they might teach the
1:12language and literature of the
1:15calans and the King appointed for them
1:17as a daily provision of the king's
1:19Delicacies of the wine which he drank
1:23and three years of training for them so
1:25that at the end of that time they might
1:28serve before the king
1:31King now from among those sons of Judah
1:35were Daniel haniah Michelle and
1:40Azariah now I just gave you the Hebrew
1:43names you know them as Shadrach mesach
1:46and abedo because they changed their
1:49names changed their
1:52identity and to them the chief of the
1:54Unix was given the name was G gave names
1:58he gave Daniel the name belto Shazer to
2:01hananiah Shadrach to m Michelle meach
2:05and to Azariah
2:07abedo but Daniel here's myex purposed in
2:11his heart that he would not defile
2:13himself with the king's
2:16Delicacies nor with the wine which he
2:19drank therefore he requested of the
2:21chief of the Unix that he might not
2:23defile
2:24himself now God had brought Daniel into
2:27favor and Good Will with the chief of
2:30the
2:34Unix I will stop reading there except I
2:37want to quickly go to verse to to verse
2:4119 and 20 then the king interviewed them
2:44and he said all and he and he among them
2:48all none was found like
2:51Daniel Shadrach mesac and abedo they
2:55served before the king and in all
2:58matters of wisdom and and understanding
3:01about which the king examined them he
3:04found them 10 times better than The
3:08Magicians and astrologers and
3:10astrologers that were in the RM then
3:13Daniel continued until the first year of
3:15King Cyrus so I read a lot of scriptures
3:18and I want to sum it
3:20up Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon he
3:24invaded Israel and he took captive we're
3:27told this in several different pass Mes
3:30in the scripture 10,000 young people he
3:33took 10,000 young people captive and
3:38specifically we're giving even more
3:40detail into that Insight in this text we
3:44would call the cream of the crop the
3:46most talented the most gifted the best
3:50looking the the the the wisest the ones
3:53who were one let me read you some of the
3:55translations of the verse I just read
3:57you the princes that had no blemish
4:01exceedingly gifted those that were very
4:04skillful in science groomed and taught
4:09another translation said those that were
4:12exceptionally healthy handsome well
4:16educated perfect
4:18specimens he took 10,000 and enslaved
4:24them in a sophisticated uh way of
4:28slavery not like the old Egyptians
4:31working in brick houses these these this
4:36was a different type they were given a
4:38lot of
4:39things and just four out of the 10,000
4:44are we ever given a report on and you
4:47just got the four Daniel Shadrach meach
4:49and abedo out of out of 10,000 that were
4:53taken back to build Babylon and its
4:56culture with their talents and gifts and
4:58everything that they had had their
5:01brilliant we're only told that four made
5:04it to the highest position possible to
5:07literally serve Nebuchadnezzar and he
5:11turned to them like a
5:13filters to run everything by them that
5:17he
5:17did and he talked directly to them and
5:22he threw out the astrologers and
5:25magicians and and false prophets and he
5:27brought them in and even he was a
5:30heathen he would listen to them because
5:33there was something about them that was
5:3510 times 10 times brighter 10 times
5:40something about him that that that that
5:43was a magnet to this evil really evil
5:47King
5:50Nebuchadnezzar the Book of Daniel gives
5:53us their names but what stood out to me
5:57is the key to it all the key to them
5:59being in that position of influence not
6:02only through the whole administration of
6:06Nebuchadnezzar but then his
6:09grandson took over and all the way to
6:13Cyrus the next three three
6:17administrations over three generations
6:21about 40 years each it's amazing and
6:24right in that circle of influence was
6:28Daniel we know and probably Shadrach
6:31mesach and abedo we don't hear much
6:33about them but you have Daniel there and
6:35he's called up in every one of those it
6:38all came because of one thing that he
6:40did right
6:42here it said but Daniel purposed within
6:47his heart that he would not defile
6:50himself with the king's meat and wine
6:53now what was the king's meat and wine it
6:55was meat that had been offered on altars
6:59to Gods like Bale in worship of demonic
7:04gods and false gods and they had offered
7:08the meat and the animal on the Altar and
7:11then the king would eat the meat that
7:13had been offered to false gods and drink
7:16the wine that had been on the Altar and
7:19he said I want all of them to eat it and
7:21in this moment listen listen now I'm
7:23talking about the ripple effect of
7:27consecration it seems like like a small
7:30thing it seems like a a little
7:32compromise go on Daniel and just eat the
7:35meat and drink the wine you got you kind
7:38of got to go with Babylon since you're
7:40in Babylon but something in him said
7:43I've got this conviction that I saw them
7:46offer that meat and that wine to a false
7:50god and my body is the Temple of the
7:53Holy Spirit and I don't think I'm going
7:55to put that in there and the Bible said
7:58he purposed everybody say he purposed he
8:00purp it did not say they purposed and it
8:04didn't say they purposed for a reason
8:06Shadrach meshack and abedo were highly
8:09influenced by the leadership and
8:12consecration of Daniel and the reason it
8:14didn't say they purposed was because
8:17first always God starts with one person
8:20who's
8:21consecrated and when one stands up then
8:25the three they I could almost see it my
8:27mind they're sitting at the banquet
8:29table there's thousands of others the
8:31meat comes the wine comes but he sits
8:34there Daniel and he purposed in his
8:36heart I can't do this and when the
8:38everybody starts eating he's just
8:40sitting there and Shadrach Meshach and
8:42Abend to go look at each other and look
8:44at one another and look at him and he's
8:45not eating and they said well if if he's
8:48not going to do it then we're not going
8:49to do
8:52it later on when Daniel wouldn't bow
8:55down when they played the music Shadrach
8:57mhach and abedo said if he doesn't bow
8:59we don't
9:03bow and it's a powerful thing I purpose
9:06not to eat and drink the king's meat and
9:10they said we're in it with you and it's
9:12one thing when one person stands up
9:15that's why your consecration matters it
9:18doesn't matter what other people say is
9:20okay we need people with with
9:23consecration in their own heart for the
9:26Lord and when he got it then the ripple
9:30effect hit Shadrach meak and abedo and
9:34notice now it's not one standing because
9:36there's power in numbers now there's
9:39three who join the one there's four
9:43standing and a threefold chord is not
9:47easily broken and one can put a thousand
9:50to fight two can put 10,000 and four
9:53people standing up for what the
9:56conviction of their heart and the
9:58consecration of their life stands for
10:01affects an entire nation
10:06now when this young
10:08man one man
10:11stood the Bible said and God honored
10:14them he honored their convictions he
10:16honored their consecration he honored
10:19their dedication and they were given
10:22knowledge and skill in learning and
10:25Daniel had the skill of visions and
10:28dreams at the end of the three years the
10:31king would call up all of these young
10:34men and he would handpick who he wanted
10:37to serve him and the scripture said that
10:42Daniel made this consecration that I
10:45won't eat the king's meat and the person
10:49over him heard about it who worked for
10:52Nebuchadnezzar and he said you can't do
10:54that you can't stop eating the king's
10:57meat you're going to look puny you're
10:59going to look too skinny you're going to
11:01look emaciated I cannot let you do that
11:04and Daniel said I challenge you to
11:06something he said you let me give up
11:08that meat that's been offered to your
11:10gods and you let the rest of these kids
11:13eat this food but you let me eat
11:17vegetables and drink water and give me
11:20uh granola he asked for grain granola
11:22minus the sugar and and he said give it
11:26to me and after 10 days let's see who's
11:30the fairest of them all mirror mirror on
11:33the wall and after 10 days your Bible
11:37said that they looked fairer Daniel and
11:40Shadrach meach and abedo were better
11:43looking fairer and fatter turn to
11:47somebody and say watch that granola
11:49fatter
11:51fatter than those who were eating the
11:53rich meat from the king's table and the
11:57King commanded that they be brought
11:59before him and he chose them and he said
12:04and let them stand before me in all
12:07matters for he found them 10 times
12:12better than all the others standing by
12:16all because a man was
12:20consecrated and had convictions and he
12:23said I'm going to follow my
12:26convictions it hits three more it triple
12:29effects on three more and then the whole
12:32nation ultimately because a few chapters
12:35later it really got them in trouble and
12:37they had to go into the fiery
12:40furnace and when they got in the fiery
12:42furnace the king saw that he put three
12:45in Shadrach meach and abedo I love that
12:49story because the Bible said as they
12:50were taken as the guards were taking
12:53them that the furnace was heated up
12:55seven times hotter and they started to
12:57throw them in and when they taking them
13:00the I saw something I've never seen
13:01before the guards got burned up but
13:05guess what Shadrach Meshach and abendigo
13:07was what they were guarding and they
13:09were taking them to the furnace and it
13:11burned you know how you know God's with
13:13you what killed other people what other
13:16people didn't get through somehow God
13:19had you in a bubble of
13:21protection wow
13:23Hallelujah that's for free that's not my
13:25sermon
13:29Nebuchadnezzar passed off the scene I'm
13:31talking about the ripple effect of a
13:36consecration Nebuchadnezzar passed off
13:39the scene he
13:41dies and next comes his grandson Bel
13:46Shazer and the Bible says that when he
13:50comes to the when he comes to the
13:54throne that he's having a
13:57party but God can crash your
14:00party and suddenly he blasphemes God and
14:04out of the darkness a finger and a hand
14:07of fire starts W riding on the side of
14:11the wall and the Bible said that this
14:13grandson of Nebuchadnezzar his knees
14:16were
14:17so uh shaken by what he was experiencing
14:22that he started
14:23trembling and on the side of the wall
14:25God crashed the party meany meany TK you
14:29Faro and he said what does this mean and
14:31they said there's an old man that your
14:33granddaddy used to use in his
14:35administration bring him up and they
14:37brought him up and he said you've been
14:39found in the balance you've been held in
14:42the balance and found wanting and the
14:45kingdom will be taken from
14:48you and within 24 hours the kingdom was
14:52taken but Daniel was there and then
14:54Cyrus Came and guess what he called
14:57Daniel up and Daniel gave him
14:59instructions all from one
15:05consecration in 1 Samuel
15:0817 the giant had immobilized the whole
15:11Army of Israel and Saul was afraid the
15:14army of Israel was afraid and a young
15:17boy about 17 years of age named David
15:22Goes to the battlefield to deliver some
15:24snacks and food with no intentions of
15:27fighting but when he heard that giant
15:32bellowing out threats and cursing their
15:35God he said what are we doing here is
15:38there not a cause why are you not out
15:40there fighting and Saul said well we're
15:43afraid but you can't fight him you're
15:45too little he said well I was tending my
15:49father's sheep and a lion came and I
15:52slew him it happened in private and I
15:55was tending my father's sheep another
15:58time and a bear came and I slew him and
16:01it was in private see before you have a
16:04national Victory you got to have some
16:08private Consecration and win the lion
16:12and the bear when you start slaying The
16:14Lion and the Bear in private you will
16:18begin to have the public rewards that
16:22God has for your life Goliath is not
16:27going to fall if you don't have Victory
16:30with the lion and the bear when nobody's
16:33looking the whole nation is looking with
16:36Goliath everybody's eyes are on that
16:39battle but the key to that Victory is
16:42private consecration when he's fighting
16:45the personal battle just him and the
16:48lion just him and the bear just him and
16:51convictions and it's nobody sees this
16:54but me and God and when you reading your
16:57Bible nobody sees that but you and God
17:00when you're praying nobody sees that but
17:02you and God and then when you get public
17:05victories it's because of what you've
17:07been doing in the private
17:12times the
17:14power the ripple
17:17effect of
17:21consecration you know there were five
17:23other men who rose up after David slew
17:27Goliath in second Sam it gives five
17:30names because Goliath had four brothers
17:33and he had a son also and there were
17:35four other five other men who rose up
17:39after they saw notice this after they
17:41saw David with
17:43consecration deat Goliath then they rose
17:47up and they killed the other
17:50Giants why because of the ripple
17:55effect all it takes is one young person
18:00to stand up in a youth
18:03group and say you know if I'm
18:05goodlooking it's because God wants to
18:08use me if I'm talented it's because God
18:11wants to use me if if if I've got an
18:15advantage in life if I'm smart it's
18:18because God wants to use me and I want
18:20God to be number one in my life and I
18:23don't care what everybody else is
18:24drinking and what everybody else is
18:26doing I want to be so totally sold out
18:30to God and when one person in the youth
18:33group says I'll be that one then the
18:35Ripple effects hit Shadrach Meshach and
18:38abedo and it starts hitting the whole
18:40youth
18:41group same thing can happen in a
18:44family
18:46amen the ripple effect of
18:50consecration my brother Richie who's
18:52gone on to be with the Lord he he he was
18:56a he was the one who fasted so much more
18:59he would go he literally went on a
19:0140-day fast and and did nothing but
19:03drink water and I said you're going to
19:05die I just told him that you're going to
19:06die it's going to kill you he didn't die
19:10from
19:11that he came out and I'll never forget
19:15the day that I was saved the Sunday that
19:17I had no intentions of being saved I was
19:19a rebellious young
19:22teenager but I went just a typical
19:25Sunday morning my dad was the pastor he
19:28preached that morning I don't remember
19:30anything about any of that and I didn't
19:32care I was sitting back there just
19:34waiting a church service wanting it to
19:36get over so I could get out and do my
19:39thing
19:40and I sat down and Richie knew that I
19:45wasn't living right he knew some things
19:47some you know little TTL Tales would
19:50tell on you and he he was hearing all
19:53kinds of stuff
19:54and for some reason when we all sat down
19:57mom had fixed a a big lunch after church
20:01and she always had a spread and man we
20:04were so hungry and somebody said where's
20:07Richie and they said he's
20:10fasting he's not he's not coming to
20:13lunch and I didn't know it until after
20:16the service that night but he had been
20:18fasting for
20:21me and I went to church that night and
20:25he got up and he felt led to sing before
20:28my dad was to preach at the cross at the
20:31cross where I first saw the light there
20:33was something about the way that he
20:35started singing it that I was as
20:38rebellious as I could be but it tore
20:40through all of that and the
20:44consecration of fasting that he had
20:48heard the Holy Spirit say fast today for
20:52Jensen and when he started singing that
20:55song the conviction became so real that
20:58I couldn't even let the service get over
21:00with I walked down the was embarrassed I
21:02didn't know what was going to happen I
21:03felt like oh God this is stupid but I
21:06got to do it tears were streaming down
21:08my face and I dropped to my knees and
21:09when I did the whole church it felt like
21:11came around
21:13me and I got saved and then others
21:15started coming and they got saved cause
21:18they knew me and I had influence over so
21:20I want you to see it there's Daniel and
21:22there's Shadrach mesach and abedo
21:24there's my brother Richie and then he
21:26touched his consecration touch me and
21:29when I nail my cons consecration touched
21:33others still is
21:35today for the glory of God I'm telling
21:39you there's a power in
21:42consecration now I'm almost done I'm
21:44just going to preach 11 more minutes if
21:46you're worried about it 11 more
21:50minutes now where did this consecration
21:55come from in Daniel's life
21:58where did it
22:00start it's a great question and is so
22:03important to
22:05understand because the Bible said in
22:08First Kings 22 and verse
22:11one that Shadrach meach
22:15abedo the reason they were impacted was
22:18because of Daniel and what is
22:21interesting is guess who was King when
22:25Daniel was a little child guess who
22:29who his leader was when he was just a
22:32young
22:34fell Josiah was 8 years old when he
22:39became king and he reigned 31 years in
22:43Jerusalem and his mother's name was
22:47jedadiah the daughter of uh ad uh who
22:53cares amen Bo bozark or whatever it is
22:58it's wearing my brain out trying to
23:00figure it out I'm not preaching on them
23:03I don't care about them right
23:05now the thing that is
23:08important the thing that is
23:11important eight years old is there 8y
23:14old you got did you get me an eighty old
23:16come come here buddy I want to introduce
23:18to y'all Josiah this is this is going to
23:20be my little illustration right here he
23:23became king
23:25at8 years old is there a six 16y old
23:30young man here 16y old that would come
23:33come here come here 16y
23:36old watch this now you you stand right
23:40there Grayson that's your name no your
23:41name is Josiah now now come
23:44here now he's he's eight years old when
23:49he begins to be king and the thing that
23:52is so strange about this
23:56text is he did what was right if you go
24:00on and read the rest of that verse it
24:02says he did what was right in the eyes
24:04of the Lord and followed the example of
24:08David and he did not vary from the left
24:13or the right he at the age of eight when
24:17he became 16 the Bible said that he felt
24:23stirred in his
24:24heart to begin to clean clean out the
24:29temple because the whole land was in
24:32idolatry and he said go clean the temple
24:35out gave the orders and they went and
24:37started going through the rubbish and
24:39tearing down the altars and they were
24:41sacrificing animals to false gods and
24:44all of that through all the
24:46administrations before and so as they're
24:48cleaning out the temple they come across
24:52Moses Ten Commandments and the law that
24:55Moses wrote from Genesis to the book of
24:57Deuter omy Genesis Exodus numbers
25:00Leviticus and Deuteronomy all of those
25:04books and he when he heard it at the age
25:07of
25:0816
25:1116 he said I want you to bring me those
25:15Scrolls and I want you to read me that
25:18word I'm talking about the power of a
25:20cons
25:21Consecration and at the age of 16 he
25:25made them read to him
25:28Genesis all the way in one city all the
25:32way to the end of the book of
25:34Deuteronomy through all five books of
25:37the Old Testament the first five books
25:39he sat and he listened and he listened
25:43and he listened for how many hour after
25:46hour after hour after hour and at some
25:49point the word of God be to in effect a
25:5416-year-old that in that sitting the
25:57Bible said that he began to weep he tore
26:01his robe he rent his clothes he fell
26:05down he was weeping and sobbing he knew
26:09that Israel was backsliding and he
26:11starts saying we're going to do more
26:14then talk about it we're about to have a
26:16Revival in this nation it started with
26:20an
26:228-year-old who did not he had a he had a
26:26father named ahaz who was a wicked
26:30wicked wicked man but for some reason he
26:34wasn't named ahaz junr he was named
26:40joaz and this is the astounding Thing by
26:44the time he's 16 he discovers the word
26:48and he's taken it
26:50in now I want you to see something else
26:53is there a young man by the at the age
26:56of 26 that can help me preach my sermon
26:59is there a 26y old well come on oh he's
27:03really he's really
27:06looking come on little preacher man come
27:09on now here we go man we didn't plan
27:13this 26 year old man of
27:19God this is
27:23incredible well the Lord knows how to do
27:25a sermon better than I do wow amazing I
27:28just told him to find me an
27:318-year-old
27:3316
27:3626 at 26 I don't have time to read it
27:39all but he goes through the
27:42land he goes to the valley where they
27:44were burning their children alive in
27:47human sacrifices their babies
27:50sacrificing them to false gods and he
27:53levels the places he goes all over the
27:56nation and he tears down the high places
28:01in Israel he takes out he takes out the
28:04false priest he burns down the houses of
28:07immorality he burns down and I mean at
28:1226 years
28:15old at 16 he had a consecration for the
28:18word at eight he had he he was put in a
28:22place he was different he did what was
28:24right in the eyes of God even when he
28:26was eight something in
28:30him and by the time that his Reign was
28:37over he was in his
28:4040s that'll be
28:45me I started to get somebody but I
28:47thought I can play that
28:53part can I show you what is
28:55astounding as the 26 year old old Josiah
28:59is going through the
29:01land and the Bible said there was no
29:03King like him as a matter of fact when
29:06he died they were so sad he had so
29:09impacted in 2 Chronicles 35 and 25 he
29:13impacted Jeremiah and he lamented for
29:17Josiah according to 2 Chronicles 35 and
29:2025 and to this day all the singing men
29:23and women speak of Josiah in their
29:26Lamentations they made a custom for
29:29Israel indeed they have written the this
29:33in the laments or the book of
29:35Lamentations that text is saying the
29:38whole book of Lamentations all the
29:40Weeping of Lamentations has to do with
29:42Josiah who was so committed and and so
29:46consecrated to God that he touched
29:48people like
29:51Jeremiah and Daniel one human
29:55being but he goes and rides up to
29:58Northern Israel the last thing he does
30:00when he's in his
30:0240s and when he gets to Northern
30:06Israel he sees a graveyard of kings that
30:09did evil in the sight of the Lord and
30:11the Lord stirs him and he says dig their
30:14bones up and tear their slicers down and
30:18their grave places down and burn their
30:20bones and in the middle of it there is
30:22this verse in First Kings
30:2613 say an amazing story throw it up
30:29verses 1 and
30:30two and he says now he says now uh I
30:36want to ask you a question what is this
30:38Seer over here and he said well this is
30:41the Seer of a prophet and this is what
30:43he
30:44said there was a prophet who
30:48prophesied behold
30:51344 years Mr
30:53Josiah before you're ever eight or 16 or
30:5720 6 or 40 something
31:02344 years ago there was a prophet who
31:06looked at the evil King that was there
31:09named jeroboam and he said jeroboam you
31:12feel big and strong and mighty but
31:14there's coming one day in the future
31:19344 years from now there will be a young
31:22king by the name of Josiah who will be
31:26born and he will will burn your
31:33bones I
31:35believe that there is a call on this
31:40generation that it's not too late for
31:42Revival but God needs one person who
31:46will say I'll consecrate my life to
31:50him and it's astounding and it's
31:53[Applause]
31:55astonishing that before he was ever born
32:00344 years
32:03plus that a 8-year-old would become king
32:06at 16 he would Devour the word of God
32:11and at 26 he would tear down the false
32:16Idols all over the nation and in his 40s
32:20when he burned all the bones of those
32:23kings and he said you leave that Seer
32:26alone if that old prophet bones is in
32:28there cause he called my name
32:32out before I was ever born he didn't
32:35know it when he was here and here and
32:38here but there was a prophecy over his
32:41life that was working for
32:45344
32:49years and the power of
32:52consecration through every phase of Life
32:56got him to that moment of fulfillment
32:59where he burned the bones of that evil
33:04King consecration
