Welcome to the Cross Power Church podcast.
You're listening to a service from our church in Campbell, TX.
We pray this message strengthens your faith and points you to the
cross. Now let's join the service.
Javi Bible is going to be a few places this morning, but how
many is ready to take a ride in the Word this morning?
Proverbs chapter 3, verse five and six, if you'd stay in the
reading of the Word, very familiar passages of Scripture.
I'm preaching to you this morning, but I want to preach it
to you in a way it'll change your life.
Amen. I found that just reading the
Bible sometimes didn't change my life, but when I begin to apply
it and I begin to live it, it changed my life.
Can somebody say Amen, We can read about trusting, we can read
about leaning. We can read about all of those
things, but life will throw you some curves sometimes and
there's sometimes that you have to practice what you read right
or practice what you preach. Proverbs chapter 3 and verse 5,
it says trust, say trust. So I know you're here this
morning. Trust in the Lord.
I love this not with some of your heart, but all of your
heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways
acknowledge Him and he shall direct your paths.
I like that we like to read verse 6 and all your ways.
Just say a little prayer and think about God and he'll he
will direct your paths, but that you got to put the verse 5 with
it. Trust in the Lord with all your
heart. I titled this today and lean not
on your own understanding, but in all of your ways.
Acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
Father, we thank you for your word.
We thank you for the opportunity to preach your word once again.
We pray that you would touch it, You would anoint it, that you'd
give me the strength annoying to preach it as you showed it unto
me. It's in your Son's name, we
pray. Amen.
Lean not. It's hard not to lean sometimes.
We have all kinds of directions. We lean in.
We lean into doubt, we lean into fear.
Many lean into sin and things of the world.
It's hard many times to lean not.
But yet in Proverbs it says trust in the Lord with all your
heart. We're to lean on Christ.
We're to lean on the word of God.
But what he's talking about and what I'm talking about, go,
don't go tell somebody. The pastor said lean not on the
Lord. I'm saying lean not on your own
understanding. So if we're leaning not and
we're trusting, see many times we pray about things and many
people go as far as to fast about things, right?
And maybe they even move into the realm of faith and believing
some things in God, believing for that which you cannot see,
which is faith, right? So we step into that realm of
it, but yet do we really trust? There has to come a time that we
trust God, right? We've had the faith, we prayed
the prayer, we've read the word, we sing the song, but we have to
move into the realm of trusting God.
I want to look at this word trust a little bit in the
Hebrew. I, I like looking in the Hebrew
words a lot because sometimes they don't mean what we think
they mean translated into our English language.
But it has a huge meaning is to feel safe, to be confident.
That's what trusting is to, to feel safe, to be confident.
And it often implies an active physical surrender or a welding
to God. I like that.
You ever tried to cut something loose that's been welded really
good? It takes a little while and it's
really hard sometimes you, you might have to beat, you might
have to bang. And you know, I don't like
welding something up. I Weld a lot and I don't like
cutting it loose because it's hard.
Hey, man. And that's what this is saying
here. It's welded to God, welding
oneself to God. This this word in the Hebrew it
suggests what am I talking about?
Are y'all with me trusting the word trust?
It suggests us as to lie helpless like a baby.
I like that. Don't you to lie helpless like a
baby because you're trusting God, right?
And Jesus said that too. He said unless you become as a
little child and cast all your cares up on me and begin to
trust in me, Amen. He said that's how you enter
into the Kingdom of heaven. He said unless you become as a
little child, you may not get in the Kingdom of heaven, right?
So we have to be welded to God. We have to be laying helpless
like a baby, but yet entirely secure in the care of the
protector. I like that I'm in his care this
morning. How about you representing an
unshakable deep confidence in divine faithfulness?
That's what trust means. Are you trusting God this
morning? Are you leaning not on your own
understanding, but in all of your ways, trust in the Lord?
Psalms 37, three and four. Let's read that.
It's a good one too. The psalmist says in Psalms 37
chapters 3, verse three and four, it says, here it is again.
Say it with me, Trust in the Lord and do good.
Dwell in the land. We got to live in the land, so
why not feed off the faithfulness of God?
Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of
your heart. There that word is again trust
in the Lord and do good see we as we actively rely on God's
character while living righteously, something begins to
happen even when we're facing uncertain times.
Anybody facing uncertain times today and, and we all are.
See, trust encourages, it shifts us away from where can I say
that again? Trust, you need shifting away
from weary today. Amen.
We all worry, but trust encourages shifting us away from
weary to confidence in divine sovereignty.
Can I say that again? Trust encourages sifting us away
from weary to confidence in divine sovereignty.
If I came to you today and I said what does sovereignty mean?
You know, we know that God is omnipotent.
We we learn that God is sovereign.
He's all being but I want to look at this word in the Hebrew
before I get to preaching this morning.
Sovereignty in the Hebrew is an absolute who I got excited when
I read this. Something is absolutely you
know, you hear somebody get real serious.
They say absolutely, absolutely. I like to hunt Coon dogs.
You know, when a Coon dog barks real loud, you hear this big old
ball and before he locates and changes it over to a tree, you
know, you think, boy, there it is.
And I was hunting with a young man one time.
I had this dog. He would trick you.
He would give this big old ball. And then he's supposed to go,
oh, oh, oh, and that means he's got a Coon.
And if you're the competition hunt, you can tree him right
there, win the hunt. But see, he would give this big
A, He'd do it half the night. And I told this young boy, I
said, boy, He said, boy, that's nice.
Yeah. I said, boy, you hear that?
He said, yeah. And I said, you know what that
means? He said, yeah, I said, means
absolutely nothing. He does it all the time.
Don't mean anything, absolute nothing.
But see, in this word of sovereignty, it means absolute
dominion and kingship. Isn't that cool?
God is sovereign. He has absolute dominion over
not just you and I, not just over church denominations, not
just over our leadership, but everything.
That's what sovereignty of God is.
He's got absolute dominion and kingship, and it is rightful
authority. Isn't that powerful?
God has rightful authority. See Satan.
He has authority over many in this world, but it's not
rightful authority. He has no right to come in and
take anything from us because Jesus Christ at the cross of
Calvary, He placed him under the soles of our feet.
Hey man, so Satan, when he comes upon you and he's attacking you,
he has no rightful authority. So you got to realize that you
serve a sovereign God that has rightful authority because He
sent His only begotten Son to planet earth that died upon an
old rugged cross and shed His blood for you and I that we can
have the right to enter into this kinship.
And not only did He go to the cross, but he went farther than
that. He went to an old tomb.
Amen. And on the third day He walked
out of that old tomb, and he went farther than the tomb.
He appeared to many with signs, wonders, and miracles.
And then he ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand
of the Father. And he's making intercession for
you and I. That's rightful authority.
Amen. What has the devil ever done?
Caused me a lot of heartache, caused me a lot of worry because
I want to. I want to give him some
authority. He has no authority.
Hey, man, I have to remind him on a daily basis.
Enemy, you have no authority in my life.
I have a rightful authority with Jesus Christ and I have a blood
covenant that I entered in that he poured on my life and he has
no authority. Whoa.
Somebody ought to be out of their seat.
We have a rightful authority. He has rightful authority to
come to this earth. And what did Jesus say He came
for? To seek and save that which was
lost. And He's commanded us to do the
same thing. And he ascended back to heaven
and he sat down at the right hand of his father.
And it didn't end there, thank God.
He said, because I'm going to the right hand of the Father and
I'm going to sit down. I'm going to send you something
powerful that that, that then when I was on this earth called
the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit. I'm going to send it back to
planet earth. And I'm going to show you some
signs and some wonders and miracles.
And if you'll just believe in me, these signs, wonders and
miracles will follow you. He said, I'm going to teach you
things to come man, and I'm going to bring you into all
wisdom and all knowledge and understanding of my word.
You're not going to be this little confused, dumb Christian
running around not knowing what the Bible says and not
understanding the Bible. Never let your ears hear your
mouth say I don't understand the Bible.
I may not right now, but I'm going to dig and I'm going to
seek the Holy Ghost and I'm understand what it says about my
situation. Somebody ought to say a man, you
can trust him this morning, but you can't trust him if you're
leaning on your own understanding.
Can't do it. It's not going to happen.
But you see, church, it's hard to trust when you lean on your
own understanding. Many think it's about
understanding. This Christian walk preached a
message one time, real country Hick message.
It ain't no thinking thing. Hey man, this ain't no thinking
thing. If you got to think about
serving God, guess what, you're not serving Him because the
enemy's in your thought process and he's fixing to Jack you all
up and mess you all up, and it ain't no thinking thing.
I don't, I'm going to thank God. I ain't got to get up in the
morning and think, Well, am I going to serve God or the devil
that it ain't no thinking thing. I settled that a long time ago.
Hey, man, it ain't no thinking thing.
I wake up, say, God, what we going to do today?
Whoo, what are we going to do today?
I don't understand it. I don't understand it.
For most, it's like this. They try to understand it.
They spend a lifetime trying to understand it, trying to fight
with their denomination about what they can and can't do.
I found God to let me do about anything I want to do, as long
as he's involved. Hey, man.
And it don't go against his word.
You say anything you want to do. Yeah.
Because see, there's some things change in my life when I got
born again that I don't want to do.
So the things the world's battling with and want to do,
guess what? I don't want to do them anymore.
Why? Because I trust.
I trust, but I don't understand it.
It's where most hang out. Show me and I will believe God.
Do something. God bless me, give me something.
For most, they're not wanting anything spiritual.
Hello. We talk about blessing.
It's very seldom in the intellect of the mind.
Come on, somebody does. Does bless me mean spiritual in
the church anymore? It's material, physical,
financial. But yet the word of God says
many are the afflictions of the righteous.
But God knows how to deliver us out of them all.
Bless me Lord, and I'll follow. No, He says, follow me and I
will bless you. See, that's the first thing we
have to we have to remember, am I the only one that has things
going on their life this morning that they don't understand?
But you'll drive yourself crazy trying to understand.
I just choose to not understand anymore the Holy Spirit.
A few weeks ago I was praying and praying for brother.
I don't understand why someone has to go through what he went
through. I can't even understand
especially some, you know, I was praying to God.
I said God, I deal with people every day.
They're able bodied and they got all these excuses of why they
can't get up and why they can't go to work when there's a job on
every corner and they can find a way to provide for their self
and their family and help their self esteem.
And all my brother wants is a chance.
A man, I'd go see him with tubes hanging all out of him.
And he said I just got to get back to work.
I want to get back to do it. So I'm tired of laying here.
But yeah, those people that can that just waste their life on
their excuse and what's going on with it?
I don't understand it. I said, God, all my brother
wants is a chance. Would you give him a chance?
I said I don't understand it. Hey man, the Holy Spirit a few
weeks nights ago and I was praying that weeks ago it spoke
to me and he said this and you don't have to understand
somebody needs that this morning.
You don't have to understand. You just got to trust you got to
trust Isaiah chapter 55 verse 8 and 9 since for my thoughts are
not your thoughts. Don't look at your wife and
repeat that my thoughts are not your thoughts.
You know when you get born again, the thoughts that you
used to have, they're not your thoughts anymore.
They may enter into your mind, but they're not yours because
they have no rightful authority to beware in your mind, because
you now have what the mind of Christ, so that it may enter in,
but it has no rightful authority.
And I have to count down and count that, cast down
imaginations and every stronghold that enters into my
mind and take it captive, right? That's what the apostle Paul
said, lest it becomes a part of me.
And I have to bring down all those things and bring them
under the authority in the submission of God.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor my ways or your
ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways.
See, we can understand the things of God.
If God could give you His purpose and plan for your life
today and what he really had for us that we're missing, we
wouldn't understand it. We wouldn't go do it most
because there's so much higher than our thoughts, right?
The more the closer I get to God, the more I realize, the
less I understand. I, I guess I'm backwards for
most preachers, they seem to be the senior pastor and have it
all figured out. I'm not that guy.
Hey man, I'm figuring it out every time I step up here.
I was sitting in the middle of traffic the other day and Friday
when I when I seen brother and went and prayed with him and I
was sitting there at this red light.
And if you ever go over there, it's a different world to me.
It's a world I don't want no part of, but I'm setting
downtown with all the buildings and my wife is hooked up to a
chemo and fusion. And I said I'm going to run, see
my brother because I know he's not doing good.
I want to pray with him. And so I'm trying to get over
there and I'm sitting at a red light and this phone's talking
to me. Turn this way.
And I know I need to turn that way.
I like to argue with it. I just got this sense of
direction that God give me and it's very, it's wrong sometimes,
but that's my wife. But the older I get, the more
it's getting wrong. But I always know which way I'm
going most time N SE or West. The problem is they change
directions to some of them streets over the years and they
they don't go the same direction.
But I'm sitting there and I'm thinking about all these things
and going, how do I pray with my brother that's been in here?
How God, what do you give me? And I'm sitting in a red light
and trying to understand and the Spirit of the Lord is still
speaking to me. Don't, you don't have to
understand, just trust distrust. And as I'm sitting there at this
red light, I see this thing come by me turning.
I look and it's got propellers on the top of it just to spin
it. It's got things on the side of
it, just a flopping. And I look and there's nobody in
it. Traveler's car.
I hadn't seen one like it, but I'm sitting there looking at it
and I think, is this thing going to hit me who's driving a nobody
in it and it knew the turn when the light that zooms by me, I'm
like, Lord, I heard my dad say one time he said I've outlived
my time. I'm understanding that
statement, but I see this car go by and I and I'm already being
told by the Holy Ghost to trust going to pray for somebody that
you really don't know if God wants them to go on the glory,
pray against the plan of God or God wants to heal them and and
and keep them lit the mind just sometimes go God saying trust.
I said Lord, I trust, but that car ain't got nobody in it.
You give wisdom too. Surely people got no sense not
to turn a loose car on the road. God I do trust, but I got wisdom
and then I hear lean not so I lean not on my own understanding
and went on and prayed with my brother and pick my wife up, did
what I was there to do. And I'm not leaning on my own
understanding. But I, but you know, later on
the Holy Spirit spoke to me about that.
And because I, I mean, I'm against it, I'll tell you
somebody not driving a car or a big truck.
But you know what the Holy Spirit told me later, He said,
I've given human beings a head, some of them the size of a
softball, some of them a basketball.
God's humorous. And he said I've given them
enough brain in there and enough sense that yes, they can drive a
car. I just had this thought, you
know, I thought they were just talking, he said.
But they got something in their hand that causes them not to use
anybody guilty their brain at all.
So I've created something that has more intellect and is more
responsible than what I created to do what I put it on this
earth to do. But yet it's so distracted
talking about us that that driverless car has probably has
less percentage of having an accident than my children do
with distraction. I thought that could be true.
Lean not. On your own understanding, but
in all thy ways acknowledge him. I still don't agree with the
space shot. I thought it was a storm chaser.
I thought matter we under tornado watch or what they got
all these deals on this. That's my first thought.
It's a storm chaser car, but no one was a driverless car and
they're doing them with big trucks.
We're to lean on Jesus, but we're never to lean on our what
our own understanding. Trust in the Lord with all your
heart. Somebody getting this this
morning, lean not on your own understanding, but in all your
ways. Acknowledge Him and he shall
direct your paths. I think of the paths that he's
directed in my life, Man, I'm glad I was trusted.
Man, I'm glad I was leaning. See, when I lean on my own
understanding and I begin to trust God, I move into a
different realm of faith. See that cars more focused on a
task than I can be because it has one goal in mind.
What would life be like if we quit focusing on all the tasks
and begin to focus on what God has for us?
What would the church be like if we entered into the doors and
didn't worry about somebody playing off key or the preacher
getting the word wrong? Hello.
But we come in and say God, what are you trying to teach me
today? What are you trying to show me
today? Where do you want me?
I think of a story that I heard years ago and many modern day
preachers have preached this story, but I heard it when I was
a little kid by an old Pentecostal preacher and I've
never forgot it. It's, it's been preached by a
lot of people, different sermons, but it's about a story
of a young man and his grandfather, which was an old
farmer. And he had this old barn out
there. And from the time the boy was
young till he got a little bit older, he, he would fall over it
off and trip over these posts that the old farmer had cut
because the barn was leaning a little bit.
And he had cut the post to just the right angle and propped them
up against this barn. And the barn was leaning and the
old posts were always in the way.
And the kid asked his grandpa one day.
He said, I've not known for years what these old poles are
for, but they're up against this barn.
And his grandpa tells him the story.
He said, well, son, there was a time I didn't have enough money
to build a barn and I had cattle and I had things I had to put in
that barn. And he said that barn was
leaning. So he said I cut those poles and
I took him on the lean inside of that barn and he said I, I
propped it up and he said that barn's lasted a long time.
How many's got to lean inside this morning?
See, we lean on our own understanding and in most of our
ways, if I could rewrite that scripture to fit us today, we
don't acknowledge God. He don't direct our paths
because we have leaned on our own understanding and we've not
trusted God, right? So he's not directing our paths.
The leadership of our country, you could transfer it to them
and say, oh, they're leading us in a godly direction.
Not if they're leaning on their own understanding, not if
they're not trusting God. They're not.
It may be the best for your pocketbook.
We're so dumb now. We follow leadership and they
say, oh, it's going to get better.
And then we pay $5 a gallon for gas.
But boy, we lean on their understanding.
I'm just being honest with you. I like results.
Go ahead and laugh. But this young man, he said, I
still don't understand. Why didn't you just build
another one? You know, I begin to think about
that story. I need propping up on my lean
inside sometimes because I lean on my own understanding.
Y'all don't do that do you? I lean on my own understanding
and I get all messed up and then to me tries to get in my mind
and make me lean on my own understanding.
God can prop you up on your leaning side.
He said I've propped that old barn up years ago and he said
you know how many storms it's kept off my cattle?
You know how many storms that it's led me through?
See if we'll let God prop us up on our leaning side and lean not
on our own understanding, but in all of our ways.
Acknowledge Him. You may be leaning, you may be
broken a little bit, but He can prop you up when you begin to
not lean on your own understanding.
Everybody said tear the barn down, but the old man said no,
it's still got some use in it. Aren't you glad when God found
you? When Jesus come into your life,
He just props you up on your leaning side.
Everyone thought it was finished, it was done with, but
it's still held a purpose. God prop us up on our leaning
side. But in First Corinthians 1 and
18 it said for the message of the cross is foolishness to
those who are perishing. You ever remember a time in your
life when the message of the cross was foolishness?
You didn't want to hear it. You thought that doing things in
this life was more important than what that ain't giving time
to God. The message of the cross is
foolishness to those who are perishing but to those of us who
I love this right here. But to those who are what we got
a lot of Christians that like to walk around.
I'm saved what Paul said but to those of us who are being saved.
Hey man, daily to those of us who are being, it feels real
good to the mind and the intellect to say, oh, I'm saved,
I'm saved. We really encourage ourself for
that. But I'd rather say, you know
what, without Christ, I'm nothing.
I'm saved, but I'm being saved from glory to glory, from
victory to victory, he said. But to the for the message of
the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to
us who are being saved, it's the power of God.
Isn't that powerful? It will destroy.
In Corinthians 1, I think it's it goes on to say that it will
destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the
understanding of the prudence. Anybody know what that word
means? There?
They're prude. Prima Donna, I guess, is the way
that I always thought of it. But prudent in the gree, in the
Hebrew and the Greek is to behave wisely, to show
discernment. You know, a lot of people show
discernment, but they don't have discernment, right?
They show it by telling other people what they should do or
what they think they should see. And I'll never forget one time
we was in a prayer line, me and my wife, and there was everybody
was all hyped up because there was a new evangelist that came
and he'd been doing all these things and he'd come by and laid
hands on us and prophesied over us.
And you know, what he prophesied was absolutely nothing that was
going on in our life at the time.
I didn't say, hey, you're wrong, bro.
I just like, well, maybe Miss God, I don't know, He was
showing discernment, but that's what this says.
He says I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to
nothing the understanding of the prudent, to behave wisely, to
show discernment, have insight or prosper through intelligent
action. That's prudent.
And then the Word of God says that He will bring that down.
1st Corinthians 1 and 27 it says, But God has chosen the
what? The foolish things of the world
to put to shame the wise. And God has chosen the weak
things of the world to put to shame the things which are might
lean not on your own understanding, but in all your
ways acknowledge him. Can I tell you then this
Christian walk, that we walk in this faith walk, don't even call
it a Christian walk anymore because I'm not sure what a
Christian is. The biblical definition of it is
to be Christ like. But I see a lot of people
professing to be Christians that aren't Christ like.
Can I get a witness? But you must never come to a
place that in all of your ways you do not acknowledge him.
I've been there. I've not acknowledged God in all
of our ways, and we still do it many times, you know, and when
we're, you know, a good place to be is when we're really wanting
something in the flesh. Anybody ever really wanted
something, you just didn't want to pray about it?
I'm just going to get it, just going to do it anybody.
I only need to know that you wasn't supposed to do it in all
your ways. Acknowledge Him and He shall
direct your paths. And I'm going to close on this
note. There was a young man one time
and I got a call this week. I told this story years ago and
somebody asked me, brought it back to my memory to I guess I
was preaching and told they want to hear it.
There was a young man and his grandfather was fishing.
He was a teenage boy and he was trying to figure out how to
acknowledge God. How do you acknowledge God?
Well, I know he's the creator of the universe.
I know that God exists. Is that acknowledging God?
Not really. It's acknowledging who he is.
He saved my soul and I'm thankful for years ago when I
prayed the sinner's prayer and he baptized me and I got
baptized and I've been forgiven. And is that acknowledging God or
acknowledging what he did? Few questions that I have and my
question today is in the times that we live and the
distractions that I shared earlier that are so prevalent in
life today, how do you get people to acknowledge God in all
their ways? But back to this grandpa and
this young teenage boy that were fishing and they were sitting
there by the Creek and this boy was battling with everything
that teenagers battle with. And his grandpa had been talking
to him about the Lord and he said, he said, grandpa, he said,
I've heard you talk about that stuff since I was a kid.
And he said, I just come to tell you today, I can't do it.
I can't live for this God that you're talking about.
And I begin to ponder on that. When I got asked to to to tell
someone the story, they wanted to tell it to the youth group.
And the young boy was sitting there.
He said, I'm just giving. I can't do it.
There's no way. An old man was old, but he was
still strong, and the kid had a little mullet.
I used to love the mullets. You know, when you got to fight
with somebody, you get a hold of them.
I was little. I had to cheat.
I had the mullets were good, good holders, you know, I'll
give you a little leverage. But he had this mullet and his
grandpa grabbed him, twisted that mullet up in the back of
his hand and he got him down there by the Creek and he just
dunked him, boy. And he held him to how that boy
was breathing. He was.
He'd let him up. He'd stick him back under.
After about the third time he's about to pass out, he just held
him under. He'd come.
You like to kill me, Grandpa, he said.
When you hunger and thirst after the things of God and you hunger
after righteousness like you did that breath of air, he said
you'll be able to live for God. And when I told that man, he's
teaching a youth group that he's just started and he, he confides
in me for some stories and some things from time to time.
And I sit there and pondered on that.
And that's a true story. If we could hunger and thirst
after God like we do a breath of air, then we could trust, then
we could lean not on our own understanding.
But how do you get somebody, How do you get young people today to
hunger? Prayed for hours about this,
this way? How do you get them?
How do you get grown-ups to hunger?
Minnie's hungry right now, but it's for the Mexican food place.
How do we get that? If there's one thing I thank God
every day for, because I pray with so many people that do not
have it that do not have it, I can be over driving down to be
here in in a, you know, in a truck with somebody and turn a
song on and they just sit there and I got tears running down my
eyes. They do not have that.
I pray that God imparts that, but I thank God, no matter how
hard as you stand your feet that your life gets, if you're in the
House of God today, there's something that brought you here.
There was something that pulled you to the House of God today.
You are to give up on everything in life that's bothering you
right now and just thank Him. Thank him that I didn't lean on
my own understanding today, but I acknowledge you in you and I
thank you for that. God, I don't know if you what
you call it. I hadn't come up with the word
for it because all I know is he said I place within everyone.
Only scripture I've found that kind of backs it up is he says I
place within everyone a measure of the spirit.
So he says it's in everybody. But but you know the thing I if
you don't find somewhere some way to feed it and so many
aren't going to the House of God today and here in biblical
teaching. So I believe God is relying on
us, a man out in the world to put something within somebody.
But the problem is the Christian today hadn't acknowledged God in
all their ways. They have not quit leaning on
their own understanding and just doing what the Bible says.
And most Christians aren't living holy and pleasing to God.
So when the young people see us falling and stumbling and
allowing things into our life that God said don't need to be
there, what how do we get that hunger?
I think it's placed upon us sometimes that they see the
things of God in our life. They see the miracles of God in
our life and they begin to want some of it, Amen.
I know when I was in the rodeo world, I LED more people to the
Lord by just living it. They've come up semantic.
It seems that this stuff don't shake you.
It seems that you just keep living.
I won't want to know what makes you do it.
I said it's all about the blood, Amen?
When you realize that there was a Savior that died for you, that
can cleanse you, that can give you something better than
anything. Anything that your eyes seen or
your ear is heard or your mind can imagine.
The Bible says that's what's laid up for us.
Neither eyes seen, ear is heard nor has it been revealed to the
heart of the man for what God has waiting for those that love
him. My Mama, God help us to not
lean. Say it with me.
Lean not on your own understanding, go practice it.
