“Nobody sees the roots grow. Right? So understand that. Deep roots stand firm. Nobody sees the roots grow. Growth underground is quiet, it's hidden, and it's slow, but it determines whether the tree survives the actual storm. Okay? Daniel's public courage came from private conviction. K? Private conviction. So here's some questions you need to ask yourself, people. Have you made up your mind to follow Christ no matter the cost? Have you made up your mind to follow Christ no matter the cost? What compromises are you most tempted to make when no one is watching? And what lines will you not cross no matter the pressure? You will not stand strong by accident. You must decide now who you are before the pressure hits.”

“following Jesus is never easy. Right? He never said it was gonna be, but he did say it was gonna be good. Okay? Following Jesus is sometimes like walking with a flashlight at night. Okay? God often doesn't show you the whole road. He gives you enough light for the next step. But what do we want? We want floodlights. Right? We wanna see the whole thing. Like, poof. Right? But sometimes god just gives us a flashlight and says, trust me. Just keep going. So take one step at a time. God usually gives us flashlights, man. It's crazy. Faith means obeying even when you cannot see the full outcome or big picture. Okay? So here's some questions you need to ask yourself. Are you willing to trust God even if obedience costs you something?”
37s
“Who gets to name you? Who gets to name you? Is it God or is it culture? Who gets to name you? Who gets to say who you are? If you're allowing Satan to to to say who you are, then by golly, let us pray over you. Let us lead you back to Jesus because he tells you who you are. You are a new creation. You are a son and daughter of the living God. You are a co heir with Christ. Right? He is who he says you are, not Satan, not culture. Okay? They don't get to redefine you. Amen. Not at all.”
36s
“And and Daniel, we see here in verse eight, says, Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food or with the wine that he drank. Daniel made a decision before the pressure came. That's what you understand is that he made a decision before the pressure came, and he didn't wait until the moment of temptation to decide what he believed. He already resolved in his heart that he was not gonna defile himself or sin against the lord his god. Okay? So what does the bible have to say about this? Well, glad you asked. In Psalm one nineteen, it says, how can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.”
17s
“"There are battles. Happening in this world every day. And you and I need to fight on our knees. We need to fight on our bedsides. We need to fight in our prayer chair. Whatever it is. We need to be praying and seeking God. And seeking his will."”
22s
“"Because in Nehemiah we see that we have access to God. We see that we. That prayer is not about us. But it is about God. So here's our response this morning. May we reflect on shifting our prayer life. To seek God's will. And not our will."”
11s
“"We need to be praying for the pastors. The missionaries. And every believer. That we will walk with God and seek God. And that God will be our main priority."”
16s
“"Prayer is not about you coming and making prayer all about you. Your health. Your safety. And your life. Though it is easy to pray for these things. Instead prayer is a two-way avenue for you and I. We have to hear God's will. We have to experience God."”
13s
“"Prayer aligns us with God's will. Not our agenda. Not our goals. Not our advancements. Nothing about us. It aligns us up with God and his plan and his agenda."”
26s
“"We need prayer more than ever. We should be like Nehemiah weeping. Weeping because we have seen guards, walls, and the list goes on of things that have fallen. And made believers in America defenseless. Though it may seem that we are. We are defenseless. We are anything but defenseless."”
