So it is not an Eve.

What is true.

Last week it was. It was New Year's Eve so this is a first week and in 2017 that's okay I know you I woke up and felt just like 2060. It's got it's good to be here today were to be talking about a topic that might be a little new to some of I was out in Colorado and and at a conference of John Eldridge and he brought up the topic that at all times God is doing for things in your life simultaneously that he's disrupting dismantling healing and restoring John so that night I heard John say lots of things and there was much deeper than I can comprehend initially and so I sat there thinking about it and I thought and I I don't get that one man over the next few days. The Holy Spirit was just reminded me of all the characters in the Bible or God stepped in and disrupted their life in a in a disruption is really just a change of direction. You have a plan.

I have a goal and headed this way something happens, good or bad, and changes that direction of my life was for.

Time and then dismantling is the breaking apart of something you have healing restoring which will talk about those on other episodes, but they were talking about the disruption factor in Robby. This was something that you saw on one of the things Ransom heart as well write the added whole program on disruption. The lady set it up just wonderfully.

She said to know how may people out there love to fly in a course I don't Friday and I'd love to fly and I love to sit down in the seat and I get excited when the takeoff happens when the landing and all that kind exciting stuff in. She goes through how much fun all that is looking the airport look at the people. That's always good for a laugh. People watching asked and she said how many of you can remember your flight number and I was like how many people could remember the name of your pilot and then she said let's watch this clip from the movie Sally and think about these people's lives. They probably could remember the name of their pilot and I'm pretty sure they can remember their flight number 11 said you were going to lose both engines in history.

It Can Happen in Your Life Only Minute That Your Age Almost Most Certainly Have Got One That Came to Mind. Pretty Early on in the Conversation Happen. About This Time May Be Eight Years Ago. We Were Having a Family Sledding Trip in Indiana Visiting Family for Christmas and Myself, My Cousins. It's a Great Time Sliding down This Big Sales I've Ever Been on, and My Dad Was with the Sea. He Told Saul He Say Guys You Learn Today How to Slip and How to Slide Right Here Slip so Course, I'm at the Bottom of the Hill and Dance about the Sled I'm Taking Note I Want to Know How to Do It Best. He Jumps Downhill and He Hits His Face on the Ice Right off the Bat Went Face First and Slid Probably for the Next 10 Seconds.

Welcome back about the stuff that God uses expected like the pump and it was great pumping music really good choice. It's a stuffy use times will I slide lower face plant time I'm you know what happened was left very early was on the phone. He was on the yes so we rushed to the hospital and they said that we all went to go to be with them and EE of course recovered as conscious when we we were there, but I just remember falling to my knees on the ice.

In those moments coming to God, and of course, first of all asking you know full force will be done and something scary.

Is this not knowing what was coming next. But also just asking that that he change our hearts with a moment like this, not just mind.

Everyone who is involved. Mom, sister, family and I remember that night we came home from the hospital.

Actually, it of course, broken nose, like a said he regained recovered his consciousness but that night I was sitting around with my aunt and uncle, cousins and my sister and they did a Bible study with this and they they asked us what did we learn from today what what were the takeaways and I just happened to you last night. I really thought about it I told the biggest takeaways you tell the people that you love you love and you mean it every time you say it because you don't know when it it could be the last soap from from that point forward I I learned that God's disruption and somewhat dismantling led led to some restoring and healing in my life and in all of our lives. It was it was through life changing moment of disruption so that was not what you plan you plan to watch dad come downhill and do that as you're talking I just was thinking about my mom saying I went back last year had a divorce know a lot of you guys know that the listeners know that initially that was disruption. I didn't expect. You know that I don't think either one of us did. Out of that, I thought, God, tell me, you know, go spend some time with your mom and so I thought okay I can get a cheap flight and I flew down the Florida in January and got a chance this year we had a great visit. Just turn.

I don't back down in March and she wasn't feeling very well and then in April she passed away April 1 and you just the had I not had that time you how different would be that one of the things that my mom always said she started tell me, probably two years ago that she was always in tell me she loved me when she got home with me or with anyone else because she didn't know if that was there last time and on. And that's a very powerful thing thing to think about because we don't know what's coming around the corner. Insert sometimes a shark shark. That's right. And Associates are you talking about this night of this poor young lady. She was a surfer in her life was planned out to be a surfer and she had faith and she a lot of friends who could quote Romans 828 at her in a heartbeat.

But that is a different kind of meaning when you just lost your arm in your surf.

Just got back from Mexico. I'm still here okay now I know, trying to get me know a couple weeks ago I did a show that I thought was really profound on the Christian card. Nobody said it was profound but I really thought is profound lesson over comers have to overcome something that seems missing profound is a Caleb of course, just fell there but anyway, in her case, you see what happened then. And if you're familiar with the story of soul surfer is this girl and and yes, God did help her to continue her surfing, but what God did way more than that is he totally became the hero of the story. It's it's an interesting thing when God disrupts is often you know the lead role changes from us to God because of her faith in what happen through that God got put on display talk for all the world to see through sulfur. How many people want to see the movie. How many people got to see her story, but obviously hero instead of Bethany because of the disruption and I know the same was in my own case that I I probably would not be a public speaker today. I doubt if I would be on the radio. Had I not gotten cancer because when I had a chance to tell people how God come for me through the cancer.

Next thing I was speaking at this meeting and I was speaking at that meeting and then different opportunities opened up but when God was the hero. It's amazing the doors.

It is very cool I was. I was noticing something in common with those two clips you pick both of those.

Both figures are based on true stories. If you haven't seen soul surfer. It's an amazing movie. It really is just the story of Bethany in on the ministry that she had through that surfing on and after the movie, there's a lot of clips of her. It's a real person. You see what you look like in some of the challenges she had no night when I picked a clip. It was kind of the opposite. I think something was kinder that real, but you… Click to because I think that brings out another point that you know sometimes we had all these things figured out and so did Evan before God stepped in and told him to build an ark, so you're really having on the philosophic right I believe you just I don't understand why you chose me you want to change the world.

I mean, that's like territory to say whatever I love you. Well you understand that this whole building thing here is that when my house I need to make a good impression at work. What are you talking right you know where I would give a lot to change the world don't know how to begin is you that it is funny, but it's very very profound. We have our plans laid out list that I think about Paul and his way to the mask and you get stopped on the road and in this part of the story, you know, there wasn't big that point is like a big health thing was a night that he's completely changed his direction, but I never really thought about him to her talk about the show what Paul would have gone through some difficult and had to be that bichon not only from the people he been persecuting the Christians, which he was now one of trying to get them to believe it. Then also the people that he knew his family, his friends also and he didn't exist to anybody you know and I think that you as you watch the Evan Almighty course is not true but happens in his story when he's trying to follow God's lead in the stirrups disruption God has to be that hero because were not big enough for it working to get pounded at times from people that just don't understand what were doing the Robby on the thing. I know you had amazing disruptions in your life you know that we all have. That's the question asking asking do you know of anyone that doesn't have a disruption in their life. Now as I was talking about the ransom heart of video that I saw she had everybody. List all these different 10 different things and gone on their life. You family financial bankruptcy.

Losing a child in cancer or heart bypass or all these different things are 12 and always people stood up based on what was on other people's paper and almost the entire room stood up almost all 10 or 11 then nobody gets out of this without a lot of a lot of these kinds of stories and you know that's how you become an overconfident gotten more to become an overconfident comer you can overcome some to get a testimony to work better yet progress is getting abortions… You're right to be in overcome her you have to be willing to overcome some people get stuck into stay in that disrupted place. I'm just going to come to stay here. This is happened to me. I'm bankrupt. It's never gonna get any better and was going to live like that or you know life never going to go on the way it was in and it won't, but it can go on much newer way that still full of life and God doesn't bring us to things that to take life from us in the midst of all the horrible things that happen in this world. God can bring us life through that if we leading all the challenges is joking with you, but you've been through probably getting crushed by the jeeps phone another tree. Those kinds of things in heaven, as in each one God's can after your heart that hasn't exactly right and I wrote article wants different title.

The thrill of the ride is in the curves same kind of thing that we need.

When you take that tight turn is when all of a sudden you start to get some exhilaration are if you're feeling the take off on the plane. Are you coming in for landing those of the exciting moments of course, you know, in order for you to read a good story it with everybody was just happy and things were going well. It would be kind of you know not not a lot of story to it. But where God steps into your story. Not that he creates the disruption necessarily but but that he comes through that it becomes the hero of the story. That's where that's for life to this word, you can open the door the dismantling and dismantling of those things weren't necessarily healthy that makes room for the healing makes room for restoring which is where the life of his peel back the next few weeks we talk more about this topic that matter God brought something in your life. It just happened because of life can be that hero. The question is are you letting where you can return to him to fight back. That thing says it's his fault and let him love you through the midst of whatever you're going through to be there for you and he's got something in the end it will give you life will see you next week@amaskinjuryradio.org and register for the mask Internet radio.org
