1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,400 Welcome to the Cross Power Church podcast. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,800 You're listening to a service from our church in Campbell, TX. 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,480 We pray this message strengthens your faith and points you to the 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,840 cross. Now let's join the service. 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:20,480 Man, I went to Zambia, Africa to preach and in the middle the, 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,880 the, the schedule changes about 40 times a day when you're 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,760 overseas. And they said we've got a church 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,800 that wants you to come preach this afternoon. 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,320 And, and I looked at my watch and it was the afternoon 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,960 already. And they took me out into what 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,320 was called the copper belt region where copper's mined all 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,960 over that area of Zambia. And the copper mine owner was a 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,600 believer and had turned his entire workforce out if they 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,840 would go to church. And so I get there and they're 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,320 in the church and it is so full. It is so full. 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,920 There's no room. It's standing room only. 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,440 There's people outside standing to listen. 18 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,480 And, and so I get there and it's just, it's this little bitty. 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,240 It's a Hut, basically. And I was so far back into 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,920 Zambia that I was the only white man that most of the kids had 21 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,120 ever seen in person. Now, they had seen them in 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,440 pictures and they had seen them, you know, on television, but 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,360 they had never actually met. 1 And so I had about 200 kids 24 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,200 touching my arm to see if my skin was real. 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080 And I let them all get up there and get real close and as they 26 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,640 were all touching my skin and they kind of got comfortable 27 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,720 with it, I said. And you talk about scatter. 28 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,600 I waited till they were comfortable and and so they took 29 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,360 me in the church building where I was going to be preaching and 30 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,800 the the the host or the shower. He looked at me and he said 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,000 there's your there's your chill brother, take it. 32 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,880 And I looked at him and I said, you going to have to find 33 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,720 another chair. Because this was me plus 200 lbs 34 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:29,400 at that point. And who whistled. 35 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:40,440 Wow, I used to love coming here. I'm just kidding. 36 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,560 And he pointed at it and I said I said brother, shower that. 37 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,800 That chair won't hold me up and he looked at me and he said sure 38 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,600 it will. And I said sure it won't. 39 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,640 And when I started down I never stopped. 40 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,240 Honey, that chair wasn't even a speed bump on my way to the 41 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:14,000 floor. When I hit that thing, I started 42 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,600 a toothpick factory. It was people look like 43 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,360 porcupines walking around from splinters just stuck in them 44 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,520 from that chair. It, it didn't bust, it went and 45 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 and I hit the ground and everybody hollered because in 46 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,400 their custom, it's very, very you, just you just don't 47 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,840 embarrass your guest. And they had embarrassed me 48 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,320 because their seat was not strong enough to hold me in 49 00:03:47,320 --> 00:04:00,200 their eyes, which I told them. I am going somewhere and so 50 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,080 after that happened Brother Shawa. 51 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,440 Helped me up, which was a task him and six other pastors. 52 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,400 But when they got me up, I was laughing. 53 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,000 If you fall, I laugh. If I fall, I laugh. 54 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,520 When I fell and busted my head open this week, I laughed. 55 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,400 After I woke up, I laughed. Brother Shiawah looked. 56 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,680 At me and he had big old tears and he said we invited you and 57 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:43,320 we did not make room for you. And I said, what do you mean? 58 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,400 He said we did not take into account and I didn't take this 59 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:55,800 offensive, your weightiness. We wanted you to come, but we 60 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:04,420 did not prepare a place for you. And so when I called this 61 00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:07,340 morning, I asked pastor to prepare a place for me so that I 62 00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:11,480 could see everybody but wouldn't be standing on this knee that 63 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,880 screams at me every now and then. 64 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,960 And he prepared a position for me to be able to step into. 65 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,800 Now, what I'm going to share with you this morning is about 66 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,840 what God has prepared for you, and He's wanting you to make 67 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:29,320 time for him to. Show it to you. 68 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,200 OK, so it's twofold #1 you need to make room for God, not the 10 69 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,400 minute commute. Right. 70 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,160 Not that cup and a half of coffee, That's God's time. 71 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,080 No, that's your time, and you can spend it with God. 72 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,280 But in actuality, that's your time. 73 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,840 So you don't kill anybody else the rest of the day, right? 74 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,680 But God wants to let you know there's stuff for you that He 75 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,040 has not revealed yet. Now listen, I AM 54 years old. 76 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,160 I got saved when I was seven years old. 77 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,920 I've been serving the Lord that whole time. 78 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,320 I've been through a. Bunch of stuff. 79 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,000 I've faced a bunch of stuff, I've gone through a bunch of 80 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,840 stuff. But this is one thing I have 81 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,560 learned for sure. God has a plan that's always 82 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,480 bigger than what I think that He can't Get Me Out of. 83 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:35,240 And His plan is amazing, but I have to let Him work His plan. 84 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,440 But doing so doesn't mean that I get to sit on the sidelines. 85 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,720 It means I have to show up. It means I have to participate 86 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,480 in order to see God's fullness come to pass in my life. 87 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Amen. So I want you to go to Jeremiah 88 00:06:53,400 --> 00:07:01,840 33 and I will tell you this is one of my most favorite passages 89 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,480 of Scripture in the whole Bible. It really is. 90 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,240 It may not be to you yet, but I hope it is Before you leave here 91 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,200 this morning, I'm going to read 3 verses and then capitalize on 92 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,280 the third verse. But I want to talk to you about 93 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,120 this. How many of you in this last 94 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,360 year, and I know we're still in January or February today, how 95 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,320 many of you in this last year have found yourself desperate 96 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,560 for God to do something not, not just one of those Lord, if you 97 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,920 get a chance, it's one of those. Lord, yesterday would have been 98 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,720 great. Today may be too late. 99 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,160 And God, you're never late. But how many of you know this? 100 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,880 He's never early either. Show me one time. 101 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,440 God's been early. He's always on time. 102 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:11,000 So let's go from this place of being desperation to revelation 103 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,880 because the only thing that will cause you to grow in the Lord is 104 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,040 getting a greater revelation of who He is. 105 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,560 OK, so let's go from desperation to revelation. 106 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,520 If you've been serving the Lord your whole life or you just 107 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,600 started, this message is for you. 108 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,400 You ready? OK, set with me from desperation 109 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,320 to revelation. Now look at somebody next to you 110 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,039 and say I want it today. All right. 111 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:42,559 Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah a second time 112 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,360 while he was shut up in the court of the prison saying just 113 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,040 leave it right there. Oh, this is good. 114 00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,800 How many of you had my Mama when you were growing up? 115 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160 OK, no hands, just me. OK, that's good. 116 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,400 The reason I ask that is how many of you had a Mama like 117 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:10,440 this? If I have to tell you one more 118 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,520 time now, how many of you heard that and did not heed it? 119 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:27,360 One time somebody said, how many of you know that it is better to 120 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,120 obey and listen to the one time and do what you're told? 121 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:43,680 Because the other side of I told you already is judgement. 122 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,200 My mother was Old Testament judgement in my New Testament. 123 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,280 Walk with the Lord. She could not find time out in 124 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,840 the book of Proverbs, but she knew we're both. 125 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,120 Versus word that had something about a stick in it. 126 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,400 I didn't do much time out, but I did a lot of time trying to wake 127 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,120 back up. I'm just kidding. 128 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,920 She never abused me. I just flinched a little bit. 129 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,000 But the Lord tells Jeremiah a second time, So what is he 130 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,840 referring to? Back in Jeremiah 3131, the Lord 131 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,320 said, hey, I'm going to establish a new covenant. 132 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,600 It's going to be awesome. People are going to love me, 133 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,000 they're going to worship me. They're going to serve me. 134 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,080 They're going to go into bondage, but they're going to 135 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,640 come out 70 years later. I mean, there's three chapters 136 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,400 of him just saying God's going to do this, and I'm going to do 137 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,480 this, and it's going to be awesome, and your people are 138 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,800 going to be blessed. But Jeremiah forgets about the 139 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,600 promise because he's in the prison. 140 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,080 How do you know that second line? 141 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,440 He was still shut up in the prison. 142 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,200 How many of you? Have had the Lord tell you 143 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,680 something, but a little bit later you wondered if it was the 144 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,360 Lord or if it was that person that was being super spiritual 145 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,400 or if the enemy was just trying to deceive you. 146 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,160 I've been there. All three, all right. 147 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360 And how many of you know that when the Lord comes back a 148 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,040 second time to tell you something, he means it? 149 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,520 So what is he doing? He's seeing Jeremiah, who's 150 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,520 locked up in the in the courtyard of the prison, which 151 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,000 means he is chained, but he's not inside the building. 152 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,080 He is literally chained to a post outside to where everybody 153 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,560 in town that passes gets to see him standing there. 154 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,440 This is your prophet. This is the guy that that God 155 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,240 sent you to speak to you. And look at him. 156 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,000 He's chained up because all the things he said haven't come to 157 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,680 pass. Well, Jeremiah also told him it 158 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,760 was going to be 70 years, but because it didn't happen in 7 159 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:04,080 minutes, right? Because it didn't happen by the 160 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,480 7:00 PM service. That night, come on. 161 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,760 Then they decided that he was a false prophet. 162 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,840 But how many know God's ways are higher than our ways? 163 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,400 He knows exactly what he's doing. 164 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,320 Does anybody have any faith in the fact that God knows what 165 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,160 he's doing? All right, so, so listen, this 166 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,680 is the second time God's told him. 167 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,640 So I'm coming by to be the voice of the Lord, to speak to some of 168 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,960 y'all. I done told you once. 169 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:38,040 Now I've got my belt with me, and if I need to use it, I'll 170 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,280 use it. But I promise you, He can get on 171 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,800 your nerves way better than my belt can. 172 00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:48,520 He knows how to deal with you in the night. 173 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,320 He knows how to deal with you when you're at work. 174 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,560 He knows how to let you have no peace at all until you follow 175 00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,880 Him. Boy, that's good preaching right 176 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,440 there. I'd say Amen louder if it was 177 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,600 me. Verse 2. 178 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,120 Thus saith the Lord, the Maker thereof. 179 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:14,080 Wow, the maker thereof, the one who made it, the Lord who formed 180 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,000 it to establish it. The Lord is His name. 181 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,400 OK, so the Lord made it. The word made here means that He 182 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,080 made a form. OK, so if you can get in your 183 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,680 mind, lay in a slab and you got to go in and build the form 184 00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:31,840 boards, and you've got to make sure that it's all correct and 185 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,800 that it's measured properly and that it's square and it's flush. 186 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,160 OK, so the Lord says before you were born, Jeremiah, going back 187 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:45,240 to Jeremiah 1, before you were even born, I had already poured 188 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,040 A framework for this. So don't think that I'm just 189 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,000 throwing you into something. I'm taking you to something I 190 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:01,880 created you for. So when you have the form built, 191 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,160 then you can fill it. But you got to be careful that 192 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,760 you don't have a form of godliness. 193 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,200 And the way that you deny the power thereof is because when 194 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,440 you have a form that is not godly, it can't hold up. 195 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,800 And so you have no foundation. I'm preaching really good, OK? 196 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,720 He's the one that made it. Secondly, he's the one that 197 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,680 formed it. That means he's the one that 198 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,680 poured you into this. Your whole life. 199 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:39,160 God has been pouring you into your destiny your whole life. 200 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,920 He's been standing there feeling that thing that he started in 201 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,880 you so that the foundation can be strong enough to where you 202 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:55,000 can go up because you cannot go up if the depth is not 203 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:02,120 compatible with the height. So he made it. 204 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,600 It was his plan. He. 205 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,640 What are you going to do to help him out? 206 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,160 How many of y'all got up this morning and said, Lord, I'm here 207 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,720 if you need me to help you out. How many you know that if you 208 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,880 tried to help the Lord out, you would mess things up because 209 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,960 you've already tried before and you messed things up. 210 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,200 Been there, done that. When you think it's a Lord, This 211 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,160 has got to be God. How could this not? 212 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,760 Be God and it ain't. You know what you do. 213 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,640 You repent and you say Lord. You got to help me make better 214 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,600 decisions than this and you move on. 215 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,720 You don't stay there. The Lord comes to me and says, 216 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,320 I'm telling you a second time. I'm the one that built this 217 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,360 whole thing. I'm the one that formed it. 218 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,200 I'm pouring you into it. I'm the one that has established 219 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,800 it before the foundation of the world. 220 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,600 All you got to do is walk into this season and let me do it. 221 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,120 I'm preaching to somebody. So when you walk into that 222 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,960 season and you allow him to do what he's doing, guess what? 223 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,320 Things start happening. Things start. 224 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Lining up in your life, when you line up with Him, what's that 225 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,760 thing about? Seek first Kingdom of God, his 226 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:44,680 righteousness and then all these other things come into 227 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,080 alignment. OK so he says that I made it, I 228 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,160 formed it, I established it. I'm going to give you a word 229 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,040 picture then I'm going to move on because I know I was a little 230 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,080 bit late starting and y'all don't want me to stay here till 231 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,000 2:00 preaching. I got 2 come ONS. 232 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,400 Anybody else want to join in? All. 233 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,400 Right. So I want you to think about it 234 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,760 like this. Those of you that are horse 235 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,440 people, I want you to think about it as a round pin. 236 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,160 Round pin, OK? Those of you that are not horse 237 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,800 people feature in your mind a round pen. 238 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,080 Did I make that clear enough? OK, here we go. 239 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,560 That round pen is used to desensitize the horse. 240 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,160 OK, sometimes horses use it to desensitize us. 241 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,240 Oh, some of y'all are real Cowboys. 242 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,520 Never been thrown off. I hear you all right, but that 243 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,520 round pen is a perfect picture of the will of God. 244 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,560 What preacher? What? 245 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,160 How many of you? Ever heard about the hedge of 246 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,880 protection? OK. 247 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,560 How many of you? Have ever heard the word that 248 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:18,080 Paul uses quite a bit about how that we're preordained or we're 249 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,640 predestined? How? 250 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,760 Many of you ever hear that and go. 251 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,920 Man, what does that mean? That sounds really deep 252 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,400 spiritual. OK, here you go. 253 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,520 I'm going to tell you what it means to the word predestined 254 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:36,960 means circled. It means to put a circle around 255 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,040 it. OK. 256 00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:40,000 Let me give you the. Picture so you'll understand. 257 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,160 Back in the old days when we got newspapers and we didn't have 258 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:49,400 Google, if you were looking for a rental house and you moved 259 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,360 into commerce and you wanted to find a place to rent you, you 260 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,400 would turn over the newspaper where it had houses for rent 261 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,160 that used to actually be in the newspaper. 262 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,760 And underneath that, let's say you're looking for a three 263 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,080 bedroom 2 bath. Well, there's one that says it's 264 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,920 a bath and 1/2 it has two bedrooms and one room. 265 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,600 That could be a bathroom, bedroom or an office. 266 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,400 Well, that that comes pretty close to two baths and three 267 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,160 bedrooms. So what are you going to do to 268 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,360 that one? Circle it. 269 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,320 Why? Because it's close to what 270 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:28,200 you're wanting, but you go to the next one and it's a 271 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,880 two-bedroom, 1 bath and needs a new roof X. 272 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:41,240 You go to the next one, it's a four bedroom, 2 bath, but you're 273 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,320 not real sure where it's at. So what are we going to do? 274 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,800 Circle it? So what we've done is we've 275 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,600 predetermined that that is the goal. 276 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:57,360 When God predestined you, He. Places you in a round pen and 277 00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,200 says that's where I want to train you. 278 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,640 Because the whole point of the round pen is to. 279 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,600 Get the horses. Attention off of them and only 280 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,400 you. The whole point of the round pen 281 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,320 is to get them to come to the middle instead of staying on the 282 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,160 outside with fight or flight. You want them to come to the 283 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,400 middle because they trust you. So when I was training horses 284 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,760 and and don't you know, I'm, I'm, I'm no Crump by any stretch 285 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,000 of the imagination. But I do love horses and I do 286 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,120 love working with them. And so years ago when I was 287 00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:31,800 working with some Colts and breaking them, well, I was doing 288 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,640 the groundwork. Somebody else was breaking them 289 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,920 because I didn't want to break the Colts. 290 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,080 But anyway, literally. But I was doing the groundwork 291 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:43,400 and, and I would have one of my kids over here with a rod and 292 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,160 reel and on the end of it I had a bunch of Coke cans, aluminum 293 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,880 Coke cans tied off on it. And over here I had a big old 294 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,800 garbage bag tied off and a tarp. And, and over here I had some 295 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,040 some pieces of pipe on the side of the fence all the way around 296 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,040 that round pin. And so I I would get the kids to 297 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,520 come out and make noise all the way around that thing, because 298 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,840 every time that they made a noise, it pushed the horse to me 299 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,720 and let them know that I was the. 300 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,920 Calm point in the middle was where the safety was. 301 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,080 You with me? So when they would start to lope 302 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,600 around and show that fight or flight mode and and start doing 303 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,840 what they normally do, and before they ever started licking 304 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,080 and chewing or anything like that, I would watch those horses 305 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560 and they would be looking around like, what do I do? 306 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,560 And they would remember the calm spot was back in the center. 307 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,120 You see, the reason God wants you in the center of His will is 308 00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:41,880 so that He can give you that piece and let you know that 309 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,360 you're right where you're called to be. 310 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,760 And the reason the noise is going on in your life is to push 311 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,680 you back to Him. Now, that noise can't hurt you. 312 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,000 It can't come through that fence. 313 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,480 It's not going to be able to come past the perimeter that has 314 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,360 been set up. I wish somebody would hear what 315 00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:03,200 I'm preaching because there is a hedge of protection around you. 316 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,480 And when you get to the center of His wheel, suddenly you 317 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,240 submit to Him and He can then use you for your potential. 318 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:19,120 You are no longer a feed bill. Because I'm convinced that's 319 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:26,840 what some people are. Boy, it's quiet in here this 320 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,280 morning. God wants you to do something 321 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:37,360 with what you've got. Your life was made. 322 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,840 Your circle was made, and He's poured you into it so that you 323 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,240 would become the form of those things that brought you up so 324 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,200 that He can then take you and put you where He wants you to 325 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,680 use you for His glory. I I can't get any clearer than 326 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,720 that. And then Jeremiah hears the Lord 327 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,960 say this. Call unto me. 328 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,000 Call unto me. Yeah. 329 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,120 Hold on just a second. Let's see if I can do this. 330 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,200 You got your phone number, You don't why I'm calling you. 331 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:42,720 You know Scott's got his phone. Scott sits still. 332 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,400 I mean, you don't have to sit skilled, I don't guess. 333 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,000 But anyway, how do you spell Scott? 334 00:23:53,760 --> 00:24:05,520 I'm just kidding. Well, I'm not calling Scott 335 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,560 either. When you call somebody on the 336 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,400 phone, do do you just start screaming and holler when they 337 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:20,600 answer? Let me let me change that. 338 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,680 I do not want to have pastor to do marital counseling this week. 339 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,920 Let's let's change the scenario when Dallas is losing and you 340 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:40,720 answer the phone. If that's the case, you hadn't 341 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:51,320 had a phone call in eight years. I'm sorry, it was easy. 342 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,880 This word call unto me doesn't mean hey, hit me up. 343 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,400 It's not one of those things where you text guy and say call 344 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,480 me ASAP. It's not this call me is not 345 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,240 hey, you want to go grab a cup of coffee or hey, do you want to 346 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,320 go eat Mexican? Food. 347 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,520 It's not. I might be hungry right now. 348 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,680 It's not that. This. 349 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:23,400 Call is the. Call that a beggar makes when 350 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:34,120 they have no other choice. This is a call that says I have 351 00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:40,560 no other option. This is not a call of let's go 352 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,960 to church. This is not a call of oh, I love 353 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,640 that song. I'm going to, I'm going to clap 354 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,840 on this one. This is a call where you don't 355 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,520 care who's around you because you know without him, you're 356 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,040 going to die. This is a call that you don't 357 00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,080 care how ugly your makeup gets. Ladies, and hopefully not men, 358 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,000 but we don't care how ugly your makeup gets either. 359 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,960 Got to be fair. But honestly, it's not about 360 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,800 your hair. It's not about your composer. 361 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,400 It's not about how you're perceived. 362 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,280 It's not other's point of view. This is a thing that says I know 363 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:20,280 that I am desperate, and yet in one verse the Lord tells 364 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,800 Jeremiah how to go from desperation to extreme 365 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,040 revelation. So the first thing you do is got 366 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,960 to call on Him. You know, you ever watch these 367 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,240 movies and they call for the priest or the preacher to come 368 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,480 in. Our great Lord and Father, 369 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,160 merciful Creator, y'all, I need somebody knows how to pray. 370 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,800 I need somebody that knows how to just walk in and when they 371 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:54,760 say Jesus, that the devil goes, oh Lord, here they are, right? 372 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,760 I'm talking about somebody that when they walk in, it is 373 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,600 continuing the conversation they've been having all day, all 374 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,560 week, all month because they're praying without ceasing. 375 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,440 I want somebody that can call on him and say, Lord, if you don't 376 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,880 do something, this is on you. You established it. 377 00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:24,080 You've got to do this. Calling me, I will answer. 378 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,400 Oh my goodness, what a revelation. 379 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,320 Some people pray like they don't believe God has ever or will 380 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,040 ever answer. But when you pray, you need to 381 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,920 know that he will answer you. It says I will answer thee, but 382 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,440 here's. The crazy part about this? 383 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,160 The word answer here doesn't mean as it would if Scott asked 384 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,800 me a question and I gave him an answer. 385 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,000 That's not what it means. It doesn't mean that I ask you a 386 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,200 question and you respond to me with an answer. 387 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,680 It means that the answer manifests in your life. 388 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,680 What have you ever. Just been at the bottom, You 389 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:13,320 know, like the bottom. Like you couldn't tell what kind 390 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,760 of snake it was that was crawling over you because you 391 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,720 couldn't see the top side of the snake, right? 392 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,640 I mean, belly bottom. But all of a sudden, driving 393 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,760 along, walking through the house, maybe just getting up 394 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,560 from reading and praying, you start singing a song. 395 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,360 And before long you get to singing that song a little more 396 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,880 and a little more and a little more. 397 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,200 And before long your attitudes change and your mindset has 398 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,240 changed because what came out of your spirit man started to 399 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,840 replace what your natural man was battling. 400 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,280 That's good preaching right there. 401 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,080 That's why it's important about what you're listening to, what 402 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:07,160 you're watching. It may be the number one series 403 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,200 on television, but if there's 4F bombs in the 1st 5 minutes, you. 404 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:18,720 Probably don't need to be watching it, and if there's five 405 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,520 in the first hour and a half, you probably don't need to be 406 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,760 watching it. But just me, you've got to get 407 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,240 yourself into place. Where when he answers, the 408 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,960 answer can come through you. If he can't get an answer into 409 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,720 you, then he can't get it through you. 410 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,760 And what He's doing constantly by giving you preaching and word 411 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,120 and truth and training and teaching and songs and worship 412 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,680 is by filling you so that when there is a void that comes up 413 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:52,600 and fills it. OK, So you've got to have that 414 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,320 void field. And that void is where the Lord 415 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,960 can do some amazing, amazing things. 416 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,360 He is the one who will answer you, but it's going to come 417 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,880 through you. How many have you ever gone to 418 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,640 sit down with somebody, friend, pastor, just just somebody that 419 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,800 you needed to talk some things out with and clear your head? 420 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,000 Anybody. And how many have you ever been 421 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,720 talking? And while you were talking, the 422 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,040 answer came to you as clear as day. 423 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,200 Now, you can say that you're just that smart, but I want to 424 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,160 go ahead and say we're probably not. 425 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,000 I'm going to say that when we start talking about it and we 426 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,960 start weighing out where our faith and where our fear is, 427 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,360 that we realize our faith has always done better than fear. 428 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,920 And so we realize to face it with faith instead of fear. 429 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,000 And by facing it with faith, we are victorious. 430 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Amen. OK, so call unto me and I will 431 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,760 answer you. But the answers coming through 432 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,680 you, it's coming through you. You're the one that's going to 433 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,480 sing your answer. You're the one that's going to 434 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,000 prophecy your answer. You're the one that's going to 435 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,440 get the clarity to be able to declare what God has. 436 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,360 That's a good thing. You ought to look at your 437 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,160 neighbor, say he's preaching right at you. 438 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,560 I will answer you and show you great and mighty things. 439 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,680 Oh, I love this. Everybody say great. 440 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,400 Great. When you read this, we read it 441 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,760 in a Western mindset in the Western Hemisphere. 442 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,160 We read this as being great, things being great as we 443 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,240 describe it. Great. 444 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,920 For instance, that restaurant was great. 445 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:52,000 That coffee place really knows how to make. 446 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,120 A hot latte. That's great. 447 00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,360 Can y'all with me? This number has nothing to do 448 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,200 with that type of greatness. This word has nothing to do with 449 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,760 that type of greatness. It's a generational term. 450 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,000 It's a numerical term. OK. 451 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,480 How many of you? That are sitting here today how 452 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:22,640 many of you had parents I know exactly how many are listening 453 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,640 now there's only 8 of. You let me say it again. 454 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:33,920 How many of you had parents? Yeah, that would be everybody in 455 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,080 the building, right? Well, if you had parents, then 456 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,040 your parents had parents, and they were called. 457 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,040 OK. And then they had parents and 458 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,280 they were called, and the ones before them were called and the 459 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,160 ones before them were called. OK, You see how that works? 460 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,880 This number does not mean huge or huge. 461 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,360 It doesn't mean ginormous. It doesn't mean this is awesome. 462 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:08,520 It means numerical order. God is saying, I'm going to show 463 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,960 you some generational blessings that you've not even tapped into 464 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,200 yet. Think on that for a second. 465 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,760 I'm going to show you some things that your great, great, 466 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:29,560 great, great, great grandparents prayed for, and it can just now 467 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,080 be released. Well, brother, how do you know 468 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,240 you can go back? Because the blessing goes back 469 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,800 to the 4th and 5th generation according to Scripture. 470 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,680 Now, this is what you need to understand. 471 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,720 If you're not serving God, then you're passing the curse and the 472 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,320 curse goes to the 4th or 5th generation. 473 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,400 And when it gets to the fifth generation, the curse is 474 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,920 established. But if you walk in the blessing, 475 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,800 the blessing's established. Now I'm saying this for a reason 476 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,120 because the Lord wants to show you some great things, but they 477 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:05,000 are generational things. When the Lord started showing me 478 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,360 this passage. I was like, that's crazy great. 479 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,480 Means generational. And it wasn't very long at all 480 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,040 after this that I got a phone call. 481 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,159 I was at my mom's. She was sick and going through 482 00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:19,679 some treatment. I was staying with her and the 483 00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:24,280 phone rang and I answered it and this lady said I'm looking for 484 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,239 Helen McKinney. I said that's my mom. 485 00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:28,960 She said may I speak with her? I said, well, not right now, 486 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,760 she's ill but I'm her son, how can I help you? 487 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,080 And the lady says, well, I think we're kin but I need to to to 488 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,239 make some connections. I said OK. 489 00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:42,960 She said I'm from Mississippi. She said I, I believe that we're 490 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,920 Ken and your mother's name was given to me to try to figure 491 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,280 some of this out. She said, do you know anything 492 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,840 about your mother's side of the family? 493 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,080 I said yes, I do. And so she said, do you know who 494 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,760 George and Ethel are? I said, Yep, Ethel is my great 495 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,640 grandmother, George is my great grandfather. 496 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,120 I know exactly who you're talking about. 497 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,400 And she said, OK, well, he had a brother. 498 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,640 She started naming these names. This is way before you get in 499 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,400 with 23 and million ancestry and all that. 500 00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,840 And, and and she's showing me all this stuff and, and on the 501 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,160 phone, she's telling me about it. 502 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,320 And and she said, well, she said, do you ever heard that 503 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,520 your grandmother was kinder Robert E Lee? 504 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,200 I said, yes, ma'am, I have heard that. 505 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,240 She's told me that. We've talked about it on several 506 00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:29,080 occasions that she is his second great niece and and she said 507 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:34,800 yes, which makes you the the 4th great nephew of Robert E Lee. 508 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,160 And I said correct And she said do you know about the family 509 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,520 beyond that I said no. She started talking to me. 510 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,240 Well when she started talking to me, I started finding out all 511 00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:45,840 kinds of things that I did not know about my family. 512 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,680 For instance, Robert E Lee's daddy, light horse Harry Lee 513 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,760 because he was such a good horseman. 514 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,600 That's where it comes from. Light Horse Harry Lee. 515 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,480 Was the leader the general of the Continental Army under 516 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,400 George Washington when he became president? 517 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,840 So my 5th great grandfather was the leader of the Continental. 518 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,440 Army. His two brothers were not given 519 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,240 the military but were given to legalities and were very 520 00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:18,960 brilliant people. And I have two fifth great 521 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,320 uncles that signed the Constitution and the Declaration 522 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,040 of Independence and didn't know any of that until that phone 523 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,320 call. Now, what does that mean? 524 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,840 That means that there's a generational blessing that has 525 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,080 been passed down through that side of the family. 526 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,200 Then she said this. Do you know that your family is 527 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,120 the one that started Sunday school in the United States? 528 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,480 I said, excuse me. She said in the colonies, it was 529 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,280 the Lees that started a Sunday school class to start in the 530 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,880 colonies with the churches. And they were either 531 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,560 Presbyterian or Puritan, she said, But they started churches 532 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,160 all over the place. And I'm sitting there going, 533 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,320 wow, never knew this, nor did my grandmother, who had already 534 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,320 passed. She never knew it, she said, And 535 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:13,280 did you know you're Jewish? I said what she said, Yeah. 536 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,000 So Long story short, really abbreviating it, they sent a 537 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,640 blood test to my grandmother's oldest living first cousin. 538 00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,600 He was the youngest of all of the cousins. 539 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,840 And I called him and you talk about around her now, you don't 540 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,440 ever see him without overall zone. 541 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,000 I'm talking about at a funeral. He's got overall zone, you know 542 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,800 what I mean? He breaks his own horses, raises 543 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,200 his own hogs in the woods. He just. 544 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,800 A man's man. He should be on Mountain Man. 545 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,200 And I told my cousin in Mississippi. 546 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,800 I said I don't think he's going to do it. 547 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,560 I really don't. She said we'll ask him. 548 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,360 So I called him up and I said Robert. 549 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:52,360 And he said, what do you want? I said they think we're Jewish. 550 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,160 He said do what? I said they think we're Jewish. 551 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,440 He said, what are you talking about? 552 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,880 I started telling him. He said tell him to send a test 553 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,760 to my doctor's office. He took the test and it showed 554 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:09,120 J1 Jewish genetics and it traced his family, which is my family, 555 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,560 all the way back to the Arabic peninsula. 556 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:18,760 To ER, where Abraham came from. Now you say, well, preacher, 557 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:19,960 what? What is that all about? 558 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,360 Do you realize what a generational blessing it is to 559 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,560 know that your history has come out of that? 560 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,320 Now I'm just going to say, on the other side, there's my 561 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:35,480 daddy. And when we tried to find his 562 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,640 great, great grandfather, we did. 563 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,920 But his fourth wife had already found him in 1856. 564 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,440 She had poured hydrochloric acid in his whiskey bottle. 565 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,120 The death certificate said he was alive, but his neck was 566 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,000 gone. He was still breathing, but he 567 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,960 couldn't say anything because the acid had eaten his throat 568 00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,120 out. In 1856, folks, that is Civil 569 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,280 War. Can you imagine being on your 570 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,960 fourth wife in 1856? Can you imagine being wanted in 571 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,760 Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana for cattle rustling 572 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,360 and horse thieving? And evidently he was good at it 573 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,800 because his sister's kids were named Frank and Jesse. 574 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,200 Daddy said. We're not researching this 575 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:35,880 family history anymore because sometimes you don't need to 576 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,640 know. But the blessing of being a 577 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,320 believer is that even if you're the first generation to believe 578 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,680 in your family, the next generation after you gets to 579 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:52,800 walk in your blessing. And that next generation gets to 580 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,040 walk and watch your blessing. And the next generation gets to 581 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,960 see 3 generations. You hear what I'm saying. 582 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,040 And the next one fifth generation until they realize 583 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:07,360 this is the way walk ye there in God is wanting to show you some 584 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,640 things that you didn't even know were yours. 585 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,760 I mean, I found out this last year that because of that little 586 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,040 J1 gene that my cousin had that that shows that that my mother 587 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,320 and my grandmother were were Jewish descent, that I could go 588 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,400 to Israel, take a test, a blood test and I could claim my rights 589 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,680 and walk into Israel and they would have to give me housing. 590 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,400 If something don't happen at the midterms, I may be going there 591 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:46,280 to get housing. I want you to understand there 592 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,200 are blessings that you didn't even know were yours, but as you 593 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,640 walk with the Lord. From the time I'm 7 to the time 594 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,000 I'm 40, nobody ever told me any of that. 595 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:03,080 But since that time, I've been able to walk in it, I've been 596 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,000 able to talk in it, I've been able to visit there. 597 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,600 I walked into Israel and, and, and Long story short, the Lord 598 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,120 told me to grow my beard fully out. 599 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,000 I didn't know why. So two weeks before I left or 600 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,560 three weeks, I let my beard grow out. 601 00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:21,040 And when I got there, the guy walks up to me at the Wailing 602 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,040 Wall and he says you're, you're a rabbi. 603 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,640 No. Well, the word rabbi in Hebrew 604 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,440 means teacher. And I am a teacher because I 605 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,080 teach and preach to people every week. 606 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,760 And I said, yes, I'm a rabbi. And they took me into a place 607 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,760 that only rabbis can go. And I got to see scrolls and I 608 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,240 got to see all kinds of things that have been sitting there for 609 00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:45,880 thousands of years. Because of the blessing of the 610 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,560 Lord that I didn't even know was available. 611 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,360 But when you start realizing all that God has done for you, it 612 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,480 makes a difference. He told him, He said, look, if 613 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,000 you want to go into revelation and leave this desperation 614 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,880 thing, the first thing I want you to do is know that I made 615 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,720 this, I formed it and I established it. 616 00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,880 So I've got all of this. Somebody say Amen to that. 617 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,520 The next thing I want you to do is call unto me like you're 618 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,960 desperate, not like you need something on for your prayer 619 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,480 list. Amen. 620 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,160 I will answer you. Where does that prayer that 621 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,360 answer come from? Comes from inside of us, right? 622 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,640 It's going to manifest in you. I will answer you and show the 623 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,160 great and mighty things mighty. Oh, this is good. 624 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,240 Look at your neighbor and say mighty. 625 00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:37,680 Now when we think of mighty, we think of this. 626 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,640 We think of somebody who's mighty. 627 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,720 That's not what the. Word is here. 628 00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:47,080 The the word here in the original Hebrew is talking about 629 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,520 things that have been tied down and you couldn't have them. 630 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,680 It means things that have been chained and you couldn't have 631 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,920 them, but now you're at the maturity level where you can 632 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:11,760 handle it. Amen, little boy. 633 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,600 There in the blue shirt. What's your name? 634 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,360 Isaiah, can you help me preach real quick, please? 635 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:30,930 Pastor will give you $100. He's looking at you for more. 636 00:43:33,130 --> 00:43:34,810 Isaiah, can you help me real quick? 637 00:43:38,210 --> 00:43:39,490 Come on. Help me real quick. 638 00:43:39,490 --> 00:43:43,170 I just need you to do one thing. Isaiah. 639 00:43:43,170 --> 00:43:47,480 I'm up here, Isaiah, you see my keys? 640 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,760 Can you go get my car and pull it up here for me, please? 641 00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:57,960 How old are you? Well, you're not mature enough 642 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:18,090 to do that. You go girl, you go girl. 643 00:44:19,650 --> 00:44:23,450 And she could probably do it. I got a six year old 644 00:44:23,450 --> 00:44:25,090 granddaughter. I guarantee if I hand her the 645 00:44:25,090 --> 00:44:28,400 key she could get it up here. I don't know who what else is 646 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,880 color cars are going to look like, but she would get it up 647 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,280 there all right. But if I just throw her the keys 648 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,000 to the tractor or just throw her the keys or something, she's 649 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000 going to think she knows how to do it because she's seen me do 650 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,600 it. But how many, you know, thinking 651 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,840 you know how to do it and do it, It's two different things. 652 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:52,560 So the reason that Isaiah looked at me like I was crazy when I 653 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,840 said. Will you go get my car is 654 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,280 because he knows that that is not in his ability, but the 655 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:03,000 weird thing is as believers, we don't understand where we are in 656 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:08,960 our maturity. We think we're more mature than 657 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,640 we are most of the time. That's good preaching. 658 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,040 But what we've got to do, somebody help me here. 659 00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:23,520 What we've got to do is realize that he lets us have things when 660 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,680 we can maturity wise take care of it. 661 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:35,600 You don't give a nine year old keys to a 24 model vehicle out 662 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,240 there. You just don't. 663 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,440 Unless you like it marked up right? 664 00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:49,480 You just don't. Y'all all know Zach my son? 665 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,840 Marissa's four years older than him and she got her license as 666 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,600 she was on our insurance and, and, and he said, Dad, I'm 16, 667 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,000 when can I get my license? I said, you're not ready, you're 668 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,840 not mature enough. But I'm 16 and I don't care. 669 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,880 You're not mature enough. And I made him wait till he was 670 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,960 18. And the reason I made him wait 671 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,800 till he was 18 is because his daughter, I mean his sister, 672 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,720 turned 22 and got her own insurance. 673 00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:25,280 And the day she called me and said I got my own insurance, I 674 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,280 said, well, I guess we ought to talk about you getting your 675 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:35,680 license then. He's he's 32 now, and just in 676 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,000 June he and I were driving down the road. 677 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,680 And he said, Dad, you know, I feel like I lost a couple of 678 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,240 years driving because you didn't let me get my license when I was 679 00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:51,360 16. I said, Yep, dad, why didn't you 680 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,280 let me get my license when I was 16? 681 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,600 I said because I couldn't afford insurance on you and your 682 00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:01,160 sister. He said, are you kidding me? 683 00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:05,280 I said that's exactly why you didn't get it until you were 18, 684 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,000 because she got her own insurance. 685 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,680 And the next day I told you you could. 686 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,280 And then I went and signed him up for somebody else to teach 687 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,200 him how to drive because I wasn't about to. 688 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,760 Ain't no way. That boy can't. 689 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,520 Drive a nail, much less a vehicle. 690 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,960 The Lord wants to show you some stuff. 691 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,240 He wants to show you great things. 692 00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:28,760 He wants to show you mighty things. 693 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,240 He wants to show you stuff that you didn't know you could even 694 00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:37,040 have. But it's the desperation of him 695 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,000 being in the prison yard, wondering if he's going to die, 696 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,320 wondering if his ministry's over, wondering if any of the 697 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,800 words he's declared are ever going to come to pass. 698 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,840 And the Lord says, let me tell you again. 699 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,280 Let me get your attention again and tell you this is what I'm 700 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,040 going to do, but this is your part in making it happen. 701 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,120 Somebody say my part. I want to finish with this. 702 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,600 I know I told you about great things and mighty things, but 703 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,160 let's look at the word show. I will answer. 704 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,600 You. And. 705 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:19,720 Show. You I love old Westerns. 706 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,280 I love them most of them. I don't like the spaghetti 707 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,520 westerns. It gets me off when their voice 708 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:33,080 isn't right with the track. I'm just being honest. 709 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,160 But I love old westerns. I, I, I love them. 710 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:43,720 I, I love. I almost said Gerald Ford, but 711 00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:50,520 he wasn't an actor. Henry Ford, Clint Eastwood, you 712 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:55,520 know, I, I, I love the ones with Jimmy Stewart that have got not 713 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,200 just a, a great movie, but a great moral to it. 714 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,920 I, I love those. And how many of you remember 715 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,400 watching Westerns when they would get out there and the 716 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:15,560 saloon will be blaring and and it'd be dark in the street and 717 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:22,280 there'd be a showdown? Well y'all are lying because 718 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,120 there never was a showdown that dark. 719 00:49:30,260 --> 00:49:33,300 Some of y'all are saying it always. 720 00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:37,700 When was the showdown High Noon? As a matter of fact, they made a 721 00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:43,660 movie called High Noon. You ever ask yourself why? 722 00:49:45,340 --> 00:49:47,980 I'll tell you why. No shadows. 723 00:49:49,420 --> 00:49:52,880 There's no shadows. You can't be fooled by the other 724 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,520 gunslinger if they're moving faster than you are. 725 00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,080 You can see it in real time. There's no shadow on the ground. 726 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:12,960 This word show means to, in broad open daylight, reveal an 727 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:19,440 enemy. So the enemy that has disguised 728 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,960 itself as something else but still came to your house. 729 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,080 The enemy that has tried to kill you by throwing your head 730 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:32,800 against a brick wall after throwing your rib into a pipe on 731 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,000 Monday. That's me again. 732 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,840 The enemy that has tried to destroy your character. 733 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,240 The enemy that has tried to destroy your reputation. 734 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,280 The enemy that has tried to destroy your integrity. 735 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,120 And all you've been able to do is just sit there and say, Lord 736 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,200 help me make it through this. But guess what? 737 00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:03,240 Guess what? He's going to show you in front 738 00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:05,800 of your enemy. He's fixing to have show and 739 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:10,400 tell with you. I want you to get this in your 740 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,120 mind. When he says I am going to show 741 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,160 you great and mighty things, it means that he is going to pull 742 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,640 you out of your situation and show you the things that have 743 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,520 been hidden. Show you the things that have 744 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,560 been covered with secrecy, things that have been tied down, 745 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,120 things that you weren't mature enough to handle yet. 746 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,280 Things that he's been getting you ready for this whole time. 747 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,480 And then he gets you there and you're like, God, what do I do? 748 00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:38,520 And he says, watch. What I do? 749 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,800 But the reason he does it at high noon, the reason he does it 750 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,880 when there are no shadows, is so that the enemy has to see that 751 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:53,200 you had the favor of God on your life, the favor of God. 752 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:59,320 On your Life is amazing. I'll close with this. 753 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:06,480 When I was a chaplain for DPS and Texas Rangers I had a badge. 754 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:12,240 Beautiful badge. It's custom made and it's the 755 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,760 Texas Star for the Texas Rangers and and it says Texas Rangers 756 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:24,560 and DPS Chaplin and I carried it in a wallet that was made for 757 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,720 carrying my badge. It was very convenient on 758 00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:39,340 Interstate trips to get to my car to fill it with gas if I 759 00:52:39,340 --> 00:52:46,920 needed to. And we were at an accident scene 760 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,600 and there was a double curve going this way, a double curve 761 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,200 going this way. The wreck's right in the middle. 762 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,360 Horrible spot to have it because nobody can see it. 763 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,480 And so when we got there on the scene, the trooper let me out at 764 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,680 the very first part of the wreck and he said, if you'll control 765 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,800 traffic, I'll go check on them and see what else we need. 766 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,800 I said I got you. So I'm shutting down traffic and 767 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,040 there's an idiot, of course, that's going to try to come 768 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,000 around the outside because their life is more important than 769 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,080 everybody else's. And as he's trying to come 770 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,760 around, I just stepped up and held my hand up. 771 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,600 Now I got on black slacks, dress shoes, a dress shirt. 772 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,560 I, I look chaplainy, you know, chaplainish. 773 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,200 I'm not real sure however that goes. 774 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,000 And, and I put my hand up and I said stop. 775 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,240 And, and he just kept coming. He acted like I wasn't doing a 776 00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:36,040 thing because he couldn't see what was up around the hill. 777 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,440 He, he didn't know what was going on right over there and I 778 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,640 was telling him to stop and he wouldn't stop and some other 779 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,280 cars kind of edged over to kind of cut him off to where he would 780 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,480 stop. And he just went out in the 781 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,960 grass and and he was telling them, you know, hello and stuff, 782 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:59,560 greetings from California. And, and so as we got up there 783 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,120 too, I just reached in my back pocket and I opened up that 784 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:03,520 wallet with that badge and I said. 785 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,560 Stop, son. He locked up them wheels and he 786 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,160 threw it in the park. He rolled out his window and 787 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,640 said I'm sorry, officer, I said you don't move. 788 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,600 Do you understand me? Yes Sir. 789 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,720 Put my wallet back in. He didn't know. 790 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,160 That all I could do was say, Have you ever accepted Jesus 791 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:30,800 Christ as your Lord and Son? Are you ready for eternity? 792 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,720 Because what he saw represented something bigger than me. 793 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:44,960 What he saw is if I violate that one, there's going to be a whole 794 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,480 lot more I'm going to have to deal with. 795 00:54:52,930 --> 00:54:58,130 God has given you authority, but you've got to exercise. 796 00:54:58,130 --> 00:55:00,810 I'm, I'm saying this for somebody in particular that 797 00:55:00,810 --> 00:55:03,930 needs this, this morning, this separate from what I've already 798 00:55:03,930 --> 00:55:06,920 shared. God has given you authority, but 799 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,880 you've got to stand up and take it. 800 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,800 Nobody in that line of cars knew that. 801 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,760 The only thing that I was allowed to do was death 802 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,480 notifications and counselling with preachers, with, with cops, 803 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:29,040 but they realize who I was with. And sometimes you've got to use 804 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,920 that authority and put the enemy in his place. 805 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,080 So you can get the revelation that God has for you. 806 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,560 Sometimes you just got to tell him, I'm done with you. 807 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,400 I'm ready to see what God wants. Is there anybody else that can 808 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:47,200 agree with me on that? What God is wanting to do right 809 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,880 now is take you into a. Revelatory time and I'm speaking 810 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:56,920 this to to to the church. OK, Cross Power Church, the 811 00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,800 families that are here, the leaders that are here, God is 812 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,280 wanting to take you into revelation mode. 813 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,360 He's wanting to take you into a place where verses that you've 814 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,920 read 1000 times suddenly means something totally different. 815 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:19,880 Take you into a time where instead of Pastor Lance praying 816 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,880 and saying God, I don't know what I'm going to say this 817 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,440 Sunday, you got to help me because all preachers go through 818 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,120 that. But for him to wake? 819 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,080 Up on Monday morning with it already in his heart what he's 820 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,160 supposed to share this next Sunday and all week long God to 821 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,640 just keep pouring revelation and revelation and revelation and 822 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,600 revelation. And God is moving us from, 823 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,000 please hear me, the church, the true church, the true Kingdom 824 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:47,320 bride, the true body of Christ is moving. 825 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:53,000 Please hear me from a place of deprivation where we feel like 826 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,480 we've been deprived in some ways of the moving in the Spirit of 827 00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:02,240 God to desperation, and the desperation causes us to cry out 828 00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:05,160 to God. But when we cry out to God, 829 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:10,640 immediately revelation starts coming, and that revelation is 830 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,800 him revealing more of Himself to. 831 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,080 Us. That's what he wants to do 832 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:23,120 today. So if you've been desperate, I 833 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:28,640 understand. If you've been just like God, 834 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,320 what am I going to do? I get it. 835 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:37,040 I have been there. I can't even go into everything 836 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,040 that hell has fought me with in the last two years. 837 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:48,080 I can't even get into it. But I can tell you this, with it 838 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:52,120 all, God has shown himself faithful. 839 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:58,640 With everything I've gone through, He has been completely 840 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,760 faithful. And there are things that I had 841 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,720 to press through and things that I had to go through because my 842 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,960 maturity level had to be at a level where I could get where he 843 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:11,880 was taking. Me. 844 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,040 Y'all remember when you as a kid? 845 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,720 I'm done. Do you remember when you as a 846 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:29,640 kid and really the only thing you wanted to do was get to go 847 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:36,760 to Six Flags during the summer? Anybody remember that? 848 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:44,600 That was a big deal. I I drove by there the other day 849 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,360 and there was not one inkling in my body to pull in and take a 850 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:52,360 ride. Matter of fact, I think I got on 851 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:59,200 the far inside lane of I-30 and just didn't even look because 852 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:08,000 nothing works like original parts and it didn't even 853 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,080 intrigue me because I've grown. Up. 854 00:59:16,580 --> 00:59:20,580 Let me just say this. Some of you are struggling with 855 00:59:20,580 --> 00:59:26,880 growing up. It's not that you don't want to, 856 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,360 it's not that you want to stay immature. 857 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:38,960 It's that growth causes there to be growth pains and it cramps 858 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:45,320 and it stretches you and the things that you've been 859 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,920 comfortable in, you can't be comfortable in anymore. 860 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,040 So you have to make some changes. 861 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,040 And when I, I contacted Pastor Lance and I said, look, I've, 862 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,840 I've got a Sunday open this Sunday. 863 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,160 I knew I was supposed to be here. 864 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:05,560 I really did. I just knew it. 865 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,000 And yesterday the Lord started dating with me from that 866 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,200 Jeremiah 33. And he said that's where I want 867 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,920 you. Somebody in here needs to know 868 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:24,240 that what you've gone through is on purpose, and when you do 869 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:30,640 purpose, which is your vehicle every day, when you do what 870 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,440 you're created for every day, you'll end up at your destiny. 871 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,920 You. Cannot miss your destiny if 872 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,880 you're walking in your purpose. You can't. 873 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,840 But I just feel like there's some folks that have struggled 874 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,880 with it. And I want to tell you, God's 875 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:51,880 trying to reveal some stuff, get desperate before him, cry out to 876 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,760 him. Not like, O Heavenly Father, but 877 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:58,360 like, dear God, if you don't do something, I need you right now. 878 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:04,160 Amen. I believe God's going to help 879 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,240 you today.
