David Hughes - The Power to Change

What is up, Church by the Glades? Y'all have your worship on today. Ain't it good to have Anthony Evans back with us? It's been a minute. Let me begin the message this way. I believe with all my heart you have the power to change. I believe, maybe I'm the only one, but I believe that God has placed within you the strength, the resolve, the power to change. I think things can change today. If you're a guest, we're in a series called Breaking Bad Habits and Cycles and Patterns. Look, I believe this stuff. I believe what the Bible says. If you're new to our church, man, I smoke what I sell. I believe this. I believe verses in the Bible. You go to 2 Kings 7, 2 Kings 7. I believe you have the power to change with all my heart. In fact, just to drive it home, I have a moment. I have an offer right now. Now, by the way, staff are not allowed to participate or anybody who's been in the service and seen me do this illustration before, not allowed to participate, but I have right now for 15 seconds an offer, an offer. I have a $50 bill. I will give it away for $1. I will not make change. $1, $1, 15, one, two, three.

He just beat you. He just beat you. Give it up, give it up. Wow, that was quick. You might've watched the service last night. Wow, somebody's like, I'm coming back at 11.30 now. I know what to do. Why'd I do that? Some people make things happen. Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. Most people just go, what just happened? What just happened? Most people, I believe you can change, but you have to make a decision and then make something happen. Change is proactive. I'm telling you, I believe this stuff with all my heart. I believe, you go to 2 Kings, Old Testament, chapter seven, but I believe in great promises in the Bible like Philippians 4.13, where it says, I can do all things through Christ who is my strength. Make some noise if you believe that. Y'all, that's not just a positive platitude we plaster on a coffee mug or bumper sticker or T-shirt. I believe that is true. You have the power to change. I want you to be confident. I want you to be confident that God can change you today. I don't care how long you've wrestled with this habit.

I don't care how much this negative cycle has recycled in your life or your family for generations. This is the day it changes. I want you to be confident. When I say three, everyone shout the word confident. One, two, three. Confident. I love what it says in Hebrews 10.35. It says, therefore, do not throw away your. Confidence. I bet you know that verse in the Bible. You must have misplaced our confidence. God doesn't want you to be prideful or arrogant, but walk in the confidence that God's got you and the essence of the Bible is transformative. This is your day to change. I want you to be confident that God can change you. So, so many great things happening in our church. If you're a young adult, oh my gosh, don't you miss this Friday downtown at this rally. There should be more people clapping. If you're a young adult or you know someone 18 to 30, it is the best thing going for that generation in this city. It is 1,000 young people gather up at our sister church, First Baptist. The worship, might be the best worship service we have anywhere. The worship is lit, it's phenomenal. The message is gonna be great.

The after party is a thing. And by the way, the free food is not still pizza. It's food trucks. We spend more money on you young adults to have that experience, so make sure you're there. And then again, Charlie, my son, I'm biased. My son, he's a good preacher. He's young, he's 26, but he allowed me to sneak in because I'm the preacher's dad. And I heard the message last rally and the way he crafted his illustrations for the demographic of young adults, I thought was spot on. Like he had two illustrations during his talk. The first one was about how many Chipotle reward points it takes to get a free burrito. Isn't that perfect for young adults? Why, because they all love Chipotle and most of them are broke, so they're calculate those points. Then the second illustration was about the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special got some Hannah fans. I thought for that young, for young people, that was perfect. They grew up with Hannah Montana. So I thought for all those under 30s, what a great illustration for that demographic fit. They all love it. And one person my age.

I watched a lot of Disney Channel. You know why? Because I have a 24 year old daughter. I couldn't find a way to get Victoria to watch ESPN with me or NBA, so I just watched Disney Channel with her. So I watched all those shows, man. I watched Phineas and Ferb and I watched The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and I did some Nickelodeon. Victorious was amazing. iCarly, one of my all time favorites. What was her big brother's name? Spencer, so funny, right? I'm connecting with some people, Spencer was amazing. But Hannah Montana, when Miley put on the wig and the persona, best of both worlds. You may not know that Miley Cyrus booked that role. She auditioned at the tender age of 12. Now, crazy talented kid. I mean, she could sing, she could act, had comedic chops, but she was so confident in her final audition, she wore a T-shirt that said, I should have my own TV show. That's a confident young woman. I want you to have that same kind of confidence. I want you to have a T-shirt that says, hey, devil, devil, I'm taking back my life. Hey, devil, devil, I'm taking back my functionality. Hey, devil, I'm demanding my health.

I'm taking back my, in fact, don't put it on your T-shirt because you're talking to the devil. Put it on a note and put the note on the bottom of your shoe and then stamp on the devil with authority because we have dominion over him and say, devil, today I'm taking back my freedom. I believe you have the power to change. We're not just doing church. We're seeing destinies transformed today. So let's jump into it. 2 Kings chapter seven. We'll be here the next two weeks. Y'all stuck with me again next week. The rotation has to be here two weeks in a row. Sorry about that. So I'll go back to 2 Kings, but let's start today in chapter seven. Chapter, what's taking place? A famine, a famine. When I say three, it wouldn't say the word famine. One, two, three. A time of lack, a time of a reduced resource, a time of starvation, needs. So famines come in two varieties in the Bible. This one is a famine brought on by a siege. The Syrian army, the bad guys have come to the north and they've surrounded the capital city of Israel. It's called Samaria and they're starving them out. Things are bleak. Things are difficult.

People are dying, but famines come in two varieties. Stay with me. I'm laying groundwork right here. Some are cycles and some are seasons. Seasons and cycles, meaning this. Sometimes a famine was a natural season. It says in Ecclesiastes, there's seasons in life. It says there's a season to be born and a season to die. There's a season to laugh, a season to cry, a season to plant, a season to harvest. You with me? There are seasons. Seasons naturally begin and they naturally conclude on their own. So a lot of famines in the Bible were just natural occurrences based on the weather. No rain, drought, no crops. Most famously, probably be the one in Genesis, in Egypt, the seven-year famine. God wasn't judging the Egyptians for being evil. They were. They had slaves. They were idol worshipers, but it was just a weather thing that happened. One happened in the American Midwest back in the 1930s. For years, there was no rain, the Dust Bowl situation. That was not God judging people who lived in the Midwest, like they were less righteous than people who lived in the Eastern Seaboard, right? It was a just natural season.

So right now, if you're going through a tough time, it may just be a season. If you're going through a dry season, right, a dry season in your marriage or your finances, just weather the storm, hang in there, you're gonna make it through, right? That's a season. But here in 2 Kings is a cycle. A cycle is a negative, redundant pattern based on disobedience. And so you see this play out all the time in 1 and 2 Kings. Why? There's a series of terrible leaders. There's so many bad kings, one after another, after another. They're idol worshipers, they're pagans. And when you have bad leadership, that affects the nation. And then the people are spiritually compromised. And here's the way God works. God is not mean, God's not judging. If you invite God out of your life, like, God, yeah, God, I got my finances, keep your hand off my money, or God, I got my relationships, God has manners, if you want me out, I'm out. Good luck to you. Navigate on your own. So they were seduced by their neighboring nations and their idol's worship.

And as soon as they turned their back on God, these nations turn on them and devour them. So the Syrians have the people of God surrounded. There's a siege and a famine. It's going on for months. Sometimes ancient world, they've gone for years. So there's all this, the people are starving, there's hunger, there's a lack of famine. It's bad, you can read about it in chapter six. I'll save you the trouble, it's all terrible. It's depraved. When there's a famine in the land, whether it's a physical famine or a spiritual famine, depravity follows. People start doing and endorsing things otherwise a culture would never do, but it's bad, there's a famine and it's terrible. Maybe there's a famine in your life, maybe it's driven by rebellion. Guess what? This is your day to change because something's gonna change this. There's an agent, a catalyst of change that erupts this famine, it is so powerful. So go to chapter seven, verse one on the screen right now. When I say three, loudly shout the first word. Ready, one, two, three. Listen. Listen. Listen to God's word, the famine is over.

Read the whole thing with me. Listen to God's word, the famine is over. I think that's God's word for somebody in the room right now. Your famine is over, the time of your spiritual drought is done. You've been starving and lacking. God says game over with that. but the catalyst for transformation is the Word of God. The Gospel of Scripture is utterly transformative. God will use His Word to change His people. It says so many things in your Bible about your power to change. Let me just read a few. Take out your phones, take some pictures of these great verses. It says, how about, you've been freed. In John chapter eight, the king says, verse 36, if the Son sets you free, if Jesus sets you free, you'll be free indeed. The Bible says, you've been changed. I love, love 2 Corinthians 5, 17. It says, therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. You're a new spiritual species. The moment you're saved, you spiritually mutate. You're a new creature with a new nature, with new behavior. How about this? You have a new strategy for success. In 2 Timothy chapter two, verse 22 on the screen right now,

it says, now, translation, run. Run from youthful lush. Run from those ungodly desires. Run from those kind of lusts, and here's what you do instead, pursue righteousness, faith, and love, and peace with those that call upon the Lord. It says, maybe change your crowd. There's some people out there, I'm not saying they're bad people, but they make bad decisions. If you hang out with them, they're stupid as contagious. So when it comes to sin or temptation, I'm not judging anybody, but we have this tendency, like Christians, we wanna know, where is the line of disaster? Where is the line of disobedience? And we find out where that line is, and we hang 10 toes right over the edge and ledge of that line, but if you have an area in your life where you struggle, take a step back. Space is your friend, margin is your ally. Take a step back. I hate legalism. Don't lay on me some non-biblical rule. Don't you be a legalist to me, but sometimes I need to be a legalist unto myself. Boundaries, boundaries are biblical, beautiful and blessed.

I need some boundaries. I need to flee, run from certain relationships, social, environment. Certain environments, you know, if you hang out in that environment, you're gonna do something you regret the next day. Environments, that's why environments like this are so important. Y'all, listen, church is critical. Why? Because this is the transformation station right here. Because the main thing we do, yes, we pray and we worship and we fellowship, but the main thing that happens, for 30 minutes, someone will stand up here and teach you the word of God. And this word changes famines. It brings hope, it brings power, it brings resourcing. Incredible, unimaginable shifts happen when you receive, when you listen to the word of God. So that's why this matters so much. And if I'm the devil, this is the last place I want you on a Sunday morning. Three people clapping if you're watching online at that. Because you're like, well, I'm not here every Sunday morning. You should be here every Sunday morning. Why? Because you need this book. This is the deepest dive 99% of us do on any Bible passage all week long.

Hope you read your Bible, hope you have an app on your phone. But I spend hours, at least I'll tell you, I spend days getting ready for our time. I come in here, we do a deep dive, and it's so critical because the word of God, not the preacher, but the word of God will change you. That's why the devil doesn't want you here every week. Some of y'all hit one week, then you miss two weeks, and you hit a week, and you miss a month. You need this. I need you. In fact, inviting people for Easter, because I invited people like crazy to Easter. You guys did too. Easter crowd was huge. Y'all, between the two churches, 23,000 people. Good job. And some of my people came, but a lot of my people turned me down. And I thought about what were some of the silly reasons people gave me for not coming to church? I thought I would list them because these are some of the things that the devil will throw up in your face and make you think about. I heard things like this. It's too far. It's too early. I'm not a morning person. Some excuses.

I work out on Sunday mornings. I have a bike. I like to bike. I run. I play pickleball. I have travel basketball. I have travel football, travel baseball, travel volleyball, brunch. What is brunch? What is brunch? Brunch is a fake thing, by the way. Brunch is not real. Breakfast is real. Lunch is real. Brunch is a fake thing that white people made up to justify day drinking. That's all brunch is. Excuses. It's my one day off. It's my only day to sleep in. I worship God on the golf course. I have a boat. I have a classic car. It's leg day. It's such a nice day. It's a rainy day. Sunday's my beach day. I fish. Uh oh. I dive.

I surf. I'll do my best to be there. I'll try to come. Liar. If you're saying I'll try to be there, guess what, you'll be there. It's not that hard. God has blessed everyone in the room right now. with what a car a bicycle or a skateboard and you have a GPS on your smartphone and we have five weekend services get yourself to church. I clean on Sundays I cook on Sundays my friends want to hang out my kids hate to wake up I had a long week a late night a hangover if I'm the devil this is the last place I want you to visit on a Sunday morning it matters this will help change your life so I'll see you next week. You know I'd come but the traffic getting off the property is is so there's so much traffic takes 20 minutes we do have Saturday night and Sunday night awkward quiet and listen are you really complaining about a traffic jam at church that people are crowding to get in the house of God I please rejoice when you're stuck in traffic they're they're not coming to a heat game or the Panthers or a concert people are crowding into church but if you're a Christian person this is commanded we have to do this it says in Hebrews 10 25 on the screen right now says therefore let us not give up meeting together as some are in that habit of doing back in the Bible people are skipping out on this synergy the spiritual set of church we need this they were in the habit we're talking about habits so bad bad habits are hard to break and good habits

are hard to keep so I want you to be here the next five weeks it takes five weeks to establish a habit I will see you next week next week don't listen those excuses got to go to the texture quickly it gets so rich so I I got some heroes gonna be some heroes here the start of the story and these heroes they're gonna change their lives they're gonna end up empowered they're gonna end up promoted they're gonna end up wealthy by the way they're marginalized the ancient world had lots of marginalized people like like Miley Cyrus was 12 but she wasn't marginalized right her family is rich her dad was famous you're like no wonder she could change right she had all these advantages I don't have that David okay so the heroes of the story are in my opinion the most marginalized minority in the Bible were they Jews because anti-Semitism was as old as the book of Genesis and surely the book of Exodus they were Jews that's not the marginalization I'm talking about were they women because it was a sexist world back then true but no not women were they slaves oh my gosh so many cultures had slave economies sadly very true they were not slaves but the only run the lower than a slave on the social status of the Bible they were lepers and leprosy did not discriminate you could contract leprosy male or female rich or poor empowered or enslaved but once you had it it was over y'all you had this disfiguring debilitating disease always ended in death but it was considered so contagious you had to leave your family and leave your home and leave your job and had to live as an outsider had to cry out unclean unclean so healthy people would cross the street it was the worst circumstances we got some lepers we got some lepers we're gonna meet in verse three verse three we'll jump in the word of God invades the situation in

verse one but verse three it says says this is this is so good there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate remember there's a famine and a siege they said to each other oh I love a good why question they have a so here's where you start if you're in a situation of a famine something lacking dysfunction a negative cycle in your life start with this ask good smart honest questions self-diagnosis ask yourself questions like this like okay I wrote this down what triggers my surrender to that negative habit or cycle what triggers me is it is it pressure is it stress is it hanging out with certain people right what triggers it is it success sometimes we try to change and we succeed for a short amount of time we reward ourself with something negative like oh my gosh I've exercised eating healthy for three days I think I deserve this box of Krispy Kremes right no it's not a good thought but I get I get it okay here's a good question what's my kryptonite what's my kryptonite what's that what's that weakness what's that vulnerability right is you know I battle with the bottles I probably shouldn't have alcohol in the house I'm not disciplined enough to manage a credit card I need a debit card because I don't manage credit I just keep getting how do you protect what's your kryptonite if you have a weakness Superman had a weakness kryptonite strongest superhero some of you brothers some of you brothers how do I say this to you single brothers you date the same kind of wrong woman time and time again if I asked you about her you're like I know she's shallow and I know she's superficial the pastor she's smoking hot right and she breaks your heart that's your kryptonite. Nine.

Ask those questions. They start with a question. They start with a question appraising their dire circumstance, and then they get logical. I love verse four on the screen right now. It says, why stay here until we die? If we say we go into the city, the famine is there, and we die. If we stay here, we will die. Let's go to the camp of the Syrians, bad guys, and surrender. If they spare us, we live. If they kill us, then we die. Brilliant, right? That's logical right there. I love the lepers right there. They do some analysis, and they make a decision. Verse four, they make a decision. They make a decision. Big decision. Now, what changes when you make a decision? Nothing. Because all you do is make a decision. The change happens in the next verse. Verse five on the screen right now. Here's the change, just the change, right? It says, verse five, it says, at dusk, they got up. One more time. At dusk, they got up. There it is.

The decision materializes into an action step. They got up. They got up. Didn't just decide, just appraise. Well, that option's bad, this option's bad. We die, we die, eh, maybe we live. They moved. You gotta move. You gotta make something happen. You get up with your dollar bill, and you walk away with a 50 because you moved. I watched some of you guys, the moment I did that, oh, oh, wow, I got one, I got one. Sit right there. He moved. You moved, too, but he moved faster. Both of y'all moved, both of y'all moved. They make a move. And let me continue, because this is so good, because the bad guys, look at the bad guys. So they got up, they went to the camp of the Syrians. When they reached the edge of the camp, not a man was there. The camp is deserted. Why? Verse six. For the Lord had called the army of the Syrians to hear the, hear the what? There's so many times the word noise shows up. The noise of chariots and the noise of horses,

the noise of a great army. So they said to one another, the bad guys, look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us. So they got up and fled in the dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses. And they left the camp as it was and. Now, what put the bad guys, by the way, had Israel on the rope? I mean, they're just days away from starving them out. They're on the edge of total victory. They have the people of God outnumbered, outgunned, locked up in a starving city, but they lose everything. They run like cowards. Why? Because God sent an army? No, God just sent noise, just noise. They heard the noise of horses. They heard the noise of an army. They just heard the noise. Now, God could have sent an army. Many times the Bible, God raises up an army, right? He delivers people with another army. Jesus could have called out for an angel army to come rescue him. God could have sent an army, but noise would do it. Negative noise robbed the Syrians of their victory. Just negative noise, negative noise.

Made them paranoid, made them fearful, made them run away, made them illogical. I mean, you catch the part where they left their horses behind? If you're trying to expedite your escape, you should probably untether your horse, right? They leave their supplies behind. Y'all, listen, there's a lot of noise in our world. A lot of noise. Now, listen, I'm gonna be honest right here. I'm gonna get weird. I love my cell phone so much. My cell phone, I spend so many hours on my cell phone. It's amazing, we have these supercomputers with us all the time, so we have access 24-7 to information and news and entertainment, social media, the comment section. Who knew people were so funny? I love my phone. My phone has lots of great ways I can use my, I enjoy my phone, but there's a lot of negative noise on our phone these days, and if all you do is listen to the negative noise, oh my gosh, it will eat you alive. Christian, if all you do is scroll and look for the negativity, because there's so much hate online right now, it will make you angry, it will make you fearful, it will make you paranoid, it will make you edgy. Young people, it will build insecurity

and adequacy and jealousy into your heart. Christians, Christians, this will make you negative, critical, and judgmental, and mean as a snake. Put away the noise, put down the noise, and pick up your Bible, which brings transformation, life, and breakthrough. Isn't it crazy? It was just the noise that robbed them of their victory. But the smart, smart lepers, I love verse four, doing the math, like, okay, stay here, we die. Go to the city, we starve and die, right? Go to their camp, they probably kill us, but you never know, there's a chance. They make a decision, then they. Get up. They move. They get up, they move. Now, I read some scholars. Scholars said, you know, what a courageous decision. What a bold, nowhere in the text does it say that. I don't think they made this decision because they were courageous. I think they were desperate. I hate how desperation feels, but sometimes desperation is your friend. You gotta get desperate sometimes if we have the courage to change, to make that move, right? Gotta get sick and tired of being sick and tired. So maybe you're in church right now because you're desperate.

You've read psychology, you've read a bunch of books and podcasts, nothing's worked. This is your day to change. You make the decision, but then you gotta get up and make the move. You gotta get up and make the move. You need to get up. I had them put that as big as I could on that screen. You need to get up. Don't miss the one point in the one point sermon. When God lays a decision on your heart, don't just sit there, make something happen. You got to get up. Say it with me, you got to get up. Shout it, you got to get up. Now personalize it, I got to. That's it. Is it baptism today? Is it going to best next steps? You don't know your step, but I'll help you figure out your next step. Is it salvation? Let me ask you a question. Do you have confidence that you're saved? Well, I hope, I hope I'm saved. I hope I'm good. I hope I stand before Jesus someday, I get the thumbs up. Take the up elevator, not the down elevator. It says in 1 John chapter five, I've written these things that you may be confident

that you have eternal life. If you don't know that you know, you come talk to a prayer partner when I shut up in about four and a half minutes and say, I want to know for certain I'm saved. I want to walk out of this room with confidence that I'm going to heaven when I die. You get up, you make a move. You make a commitment, guess what? Five weeks, I'm back here the next five weeks. We're here all the time, this is our protected habit. Travel sports, oh, travel. Listen, your kid's not going to the league, I hate to tell you. Amen. I mean, she's going to have a sweet crossover, but no spiritual foundation. It's a trap, y'all. By the way, I got to move, this is so good. This is so good. I don't want to run out of time, y'all. I take more time in the nighttime. I got to get you all out of here because I need your parking spaces. So here we go. I love what it says, verse eight, verse eight. Verse eight is such a good verse. Verse eight, I love my Bible so much. I don't do drugs, I just get high off my Bible. Look what it says, verse eight.

These men who had leprosy, this is so rich. They reached the edge of the abandoned camp. They entered one of the tents. They ate and drank. They ate and drank and carried away silver and gold and clothes and went and hid them. Then they returned and entered another tent and took some more. I love this. The famished are feasting. They ate. The starving are satisfied. The hungry finally have more than enough. God provided this banquet, this biblical buffet. And these are marginalized lepers under the best of times. No famine, a good economy. They are beggars. They live off of crust of bread. They're always hungry. I just love this image of the Bible. Here are these brothers who got up, right? They walk in the first tent. Here's all this food and the bad guys are going like, oh my gosh, look at all the food because they're starving and they start eating. Let's go to someone else. Let's find the captain's tent, he'll have better food. Oh, look at the captain's food. Is that prime rib? Is that lobster?

Let's go to the general's tent, right? The general has the best wine. What's that gooey black stuff? Is that caviar? And they're just enjoying eating. Isn't God good? Isn't God good? Starving men make a decision. Then they make it happen. They get up and now they're feasting on the bounty and the grace of God. I love the 23rd Psalm where it says, you know, God, you prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies. But here he uses the enemies to prepare the table and provide the food. They're just eating, eating. They ate, they ate. I love that they ate. Are you hungry? I don't mean for breakfast because you skip it. I mean, are you hungry for something better? Are you hungry? Jesus said, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied and only they will be satisfied. Influence will not satisfy you. Wealth will not satisfy you. Other relationships are awesome, but there's a hole in your heart designed for God.

Only get hungry for God. Get hungry for God. By the way, I picked on the guys about who they date. Ladies, I'm coming after you right now. Some of y'all, you overvalue the guy's physique. I know you wanna attract a man. I get that. But you're all about, oh, the pastor, he only has 5% body fat and he has abs. Oh my gosh. Yeah, but he has no job. I get it. I work out. I'm glad you wanna be fit. I get that. But that's all you care about is he fit. 5% body fat. Successful people eat. Maybe there's a brother here, he eats well, right? But he has a good job. He's a good man. He loves Jesus. He loves the church. Doesn't have an eight pack, a little bit of a dad bod. All it means, ladies, if he has a dad bod means he eats, you eat. eat weed that's all it means right there quickly the final verse I can cover verse 15 so the lepers feel bad they are like oh my gosh this is good news we are not sharing people are starving right inside the city so they go knock on the gate

and say hey gate keepers tell the king the bad guys have left they left the food and supplies by the way it's silver and gold these four guys are now the richest people in town they stashed all the treasure possessors anyways, anyways tell the king tell the king now the king is the dumbest guy in the story he's like it's a trap they know we are hungry they sent an ambush so they send out some spies with the last five uneaten horses things were bad and they can't find the bad guys anywhere and then verse 15 on the screen they finally the Hebrews went after them to the Jordan and indeed all the road was full of garments and weapons which the Syrians had thrown away in their they didn't just leave behind logical things because of the noise like horses and their food they are leaving their weapons the Hebrews are picking up weapons made by the Syrians and when the haters come back because haters typically come back they will battle the haters with their own weapons who but God who but God could take a weapon the enemy has forged to do you harm and convert that to a tool in the hand of the people of God he didn't just defeat the enemy he disarmed the enemy because God is all about change so who is sick and tired of being sick and tired?
