1
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,700
All right, welcome, good to see 
you familiar faces. 

2
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:44,400
I just, I can tell their new 
face but I'm like to see by a 

3
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,600
show of hands. 
Who's here for the first time. 

4
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,600
Wow, that's incredible. 
We just show up to Jesus. 

5
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,600
I hope you got here. 
Safely, I hold very dry. 

6
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,300
You have energy, squishing 
heart. 

7
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:04,300
If you don't know me, my name is
Daniel. 

8
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,200
I have the privilege and honor 
to speak the word of God this 

9
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,400
weekend, and I'm looking forward
to it. 

10
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,400
I really am. 
I'm not going to preach a sermon

11
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,500
tonight, but I do want to exhort
Us in the word of God. 

12
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600
And so, if you do have a Bible 
in your hands, I encourage you 

13
00:01:19,607 --> 00:01:23,400
to turn with me to the Book of 
Romans in chapter 15 just for a 

14
00:01:23,408 --> 00:01:26,200
couple of verses that will 
hopefully help us be prepared 

15
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,900
for what What God has in store 
this weekend, Romans 15. 

16
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:45,200
Let's begin in verse 30. 
Romans 15:30, Paul says, through

17
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,000
the Roman Christians of this 
time, I appeal to you Brothers 

18
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:53,500
by our Lord Jesus Christ. 
And by the love of the spirit to

19
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,300
strive together, with me, in 
your prayers, to God on my 

20
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:01,400
behalf that I may be delivered 
from the unbelievers in Judea 

21
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,500
that my service for Jerusalem 
may be acceptable to the same, 

22
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:09,000
so that by God's will, I may 
come to you. 

23
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:14,000
Enjoy and be refreshed in your 
company. 

24
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,500
May the god of peace be with you
all? 

25
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:20,100
Amen. 
I want. 

26
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:22,200
I want to draw your attention to
the last few words. 

27
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,100
In verse 32, notice what the 
Apostle Paul says and it's an 

28
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:29,600
inside, that's not just on that 
this verse, but throughout the 

29
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,100
New Testament, he says, here 
that by God's will which is 

30
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:36,700
important because you believe 
anything that he experienced, 

31
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,200
was my permission from heaven. 
He said by God's. 

32
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,700
Well I want to come to you with 
joy but notice and be refreshed 

33
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:49,500
in your company. 
The New Testament teaches 

34
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,200
something quite amazing. 
And this is big that there is 

35
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,800
something unique in the company 
of Believers and within that 

36
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,000
company is reserved particular 
Supernatural refreshment. 

37
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,700
That does something tangible in 
your soul. 

38
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,300
Now, notice this is not speaking
about Jesus. 

39
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:12,900
This is speaking about those who
are indwelled by Jesus. 

40
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:17,100
And what's amazing here is that 
Paul is implying that bye. 

41
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,700
In the presence of these Roman 
Christians. 

42
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:25,600
There would be an injection of 
Supernatural strength, courage. 

43
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:30,000
That would be enjoyable in the 
process of that Fellowship. 

44
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,300
It would be dishonest for me to 
say that if you come into a room

45
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:39,300
filled with professing 
Christians, that this experience

46
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:43,000
of refreshment is automatic, I 
don't have to prove that to you,

47
00:03:43,008 --> 00:03:46,700
but if you trust me to say this,
if you go to First Corinthians 

48
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:49,800
11, what you will see is that 
Paul actually told that church, 

49
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,200
when you guys come together, 
it's actually worse. 

50
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,100
It had become so carnal and 
fleshly and selfish that Wendy 

51
00:03:57,100 --> 00:03:59,700
came together. 
It was actually causing more 

52
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:03,100
grief than it would refreshment,
which is quite talented about 

53
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,700
what we're capable of as 
Believers in Jesus. 

54
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:11,600
But in this case, with the Roman
Christians, Paul is convinced if

55
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,500
I made my way there, he's never 
met them before. 

56
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,000
If I make my way into your 
presence, I know I will be 

57
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,700
refreshed but that will require 
something. 

58
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:24,800
Mutual And this is what I want 
to exhort you within a brief 

59
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,300
message. 
Then if we are to know something

60
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:33,000
of refreshment, especially in 
the day, where you can feel it 

61
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,600
in the air that there is, this 
will get to in this weekend. 

62
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,100
But there's this sense of 
Despair, there's a sense of 

63
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,700
things are not the same. 
There's a lack of peace, there's

64
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,600
a lack of true join Contender. 
There's a lack of clarity. 

65
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,100
This is this is needed. 
That's why I'm convinced that 

66
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:54,000
most of you here at least you 
believe that there is refreshing

67
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,900
here. 
But there is personal 

68
00:04:55,900 --> 00:05:00,600
responsibility on behalf of each
of us that will make that know 

69
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,000
the full potential of this 
refreshment is many things. 

70
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,200
But can I just give you three 
things that I would like to 

71
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,700
place into your hands that will?
If you are willing to say yes 

72
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,000
to, if you are willing to 
contribute to will make this an 

73
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,600
electrifying weekend for your 
walk with the Lord, Let me tell 

74
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,800
you three things, that's totally
scriptural to be intentional 

75
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,800
with for this weekend. 
All right. 

76
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:30,400
Number one, be intentional to 
sing. 

77
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,700
Be intentional to sing last 
year. 

78
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:39,700
We received some comments, 
nothing - but just comments of 

79
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:45,100
observation that we sing some 
songs that are not common in the

80
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:51,200
millennial. 
Demographic, not common and it's

81
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,800
mainly hymns. 
And there's some songs that 

82
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
we're not used to doing this is 
not really in the charts. 

83
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,400
This is not really popular as a 
Ministry. 

84
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,100
We are intentional about the 
songs that we sang meaning, we 

85
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:09,000
screen songs to the best of our 
ability, and we study them 

86
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,300
before we sing them. 
And that's important because if 

87
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,700
I were to just give you the 
Mindful and asked you to come 

88
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:21,900
up, Geology of worship, praise. 
Just on the scripture. 

89
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:25,800
I'm sure that you will come with
a different conclusion than what

90
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,500
is popular today. 
Scripture is clear that when we 

91
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:37,700
sing, we're actually teaching. 
We see that new testament. 

92
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,800
Ephesians, 5:19, were told to 
address one another in Psalms, 

93
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,700
and hymns, and spiritual songs. 
And so, I want to challenge you 

94
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:47,500
with something Beyond this 
weekend, if your worship leader 

95
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,800
of your part of the praise, mr. 
Your local church, not in a 

96
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,000
rebellious way, but in your 
personal life, first I challenge

97
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
you, if you went to strip the 
music away from the songs that 

98
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,900
you sing even in your personal 
life, when what you are saying, 

99
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,000
be true. 
According to the word of God. 

100
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:05,700
Is that what you would actually 
say? 

101
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:09,500
To God and is that what you 
would actually say to teach 

102
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:12,700
somebody else about guy? 
I think, if we use that filter 

103
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:15,600
alone, a lot of the songs that 
we've seen that, we think sound 

104
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400
good. 
It might be with talented 

105
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,400
musicians, and they might be 
popular, would not be our top 

106
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,400
choices of what we would say. 
And so here's, here's what's 

107
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,100
important. 
According to the New Testament, 

108
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,800
singing has always primary role 
of glorifying and exalting God 

109
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,700
himself, but very close to that.
There is a mutual teachability. 

110
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,900
Leti, that requires the entire 
corporate presence to 

111
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:46,300
participate. 
So worship is not a band 

112
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,700
performing. 
It's not, it's not, that's not 

113
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:51,900
lined up with the word of God. 
In fact, I'll take it even 

114
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:56,600
further if this overpowers the 
voices of the people we're not 

115
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,800
doing worship Ray. 
I know it's really challenging 

116
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800
because when you didn't go to 
the New Testament, what you see 

117
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,300
is that every person that comes 
into the door for an official 

118
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:09,200
meeting, When we come in the 
name of Jesus, every person is 

119
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,900
coming with a voice with their 
personal voice. 

120
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:18,000
And so here's what will happen 
if we actually take that 

121
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
seriously and it's really 
powerful actually, if we 

122
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,300
individually make a willful 
decision to sing, then we will 

123
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:29,300
know the full potential of the 
sanctifying effects that God has

124
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,700
intended for praise and worship,
which means something else. 

125
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:35,900
Because the first step of making
sure we're saying the right 

126
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:39,500
things to God and to other 
people about God is only the 

127
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:43,000
first step is if you finish 
infusions 5:19, what will you 

128
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,800
see that? 
To sink. 

129
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Yes, address one, another. 
But also he says to the Lord 

130
00:08:48,400 --> 00:09:02,800
with a Melody, with your heart, 
with your heart, - volume. 

131
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,000
That's what he's saying. 
It the singing is not a dull 

132
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600
experience, it should not be at 
least and here's what will 

133
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,400
happen. 
If you train yourself in this, 

134
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,400
what will begin to happen is, 
you're not going to get that 

135
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,600
tingly tingly, he's when the 
bridge comes. 

136
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,200
You're not going to get it when 
somebody does something tricky 

137
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,100
or sweet or clever with the 
instruments. 

138
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,300
What will happen is once you 
read those lyrics, on the screen

139
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:29,100
on a sheet around reviewing 
them, the truth will stare your 

140
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:33,800
heart and you will you will 
explode based on the truth that 

141
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,900
you're rehearsing over yourself 
and over others. 

142
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,200
I want to tell you some of the 
most healing moments in my 

143
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,900
personal walk with the Lord, 
being meetings for years for 

144
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:46,100
almost 11 years now has been in 
the singing not to diminish. 

145
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:49,600
Screeching, we'll get to that 
moment but this singing it's a, 

146
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,100
it's amazing, how you can walk 
in with so much weight and so 

147
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:55,700
much thoughts in mind. 
Not because the preacher says 

148
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:57,300
something that has a role in the
meeting. 

149
00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:02,600
But when the people with their 
booming, voices, Cascade and 

150
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,000
declare, the goodness of God, 
there is something so powerful 

151
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,100
in that, and we robbed all of us
of that experience. 

152
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,200
When we leave it to a few people
to sing over us. 

153
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,200
And So be intentional about 
singing be intent on. 

154
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,200
I get it's difficult, I've been 
there. 

155
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600
I look at a song comes up. 
I've never sang it. 

156
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,200
Have never heard it and it's 
difficult to participate. 

157
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:31,400
At the same, time to go out with
that, just jump in when you feel

158
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,300
like you're comfortable and try 
to get in there as quickly as 

159
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,300
possible. 
So, when I see something in the 

160
00:10:35,308 --> 00:10:37,500
course happens once or twice, I 
think I got it. 

161
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:38,900
And next time, I'm going to get 
in there. 

162
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:42,200
But let me say this, if you 
doing all this, why? 

163
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,900
I reserve your voice, why? 
Hold back. 

164
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,100
There might be many reasons for 
that. 

165
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,400
We'll get to that this weekend 
is well-being, tension. 

166
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,900
While singing second, be 
intentional about hearing the 

167
00:10:54,908 --> 00:10:58,100
word, god. 
About hearing the word of God 

168
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,400
here. 
Here's what's been one of my 

169
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,400
personal joys of this particular
conference. 

170
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,200
I've been to different 
conferences and the experience 

171
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,300
of the word of God being 
proclaimed has different in 

172
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:11,400
those conferences. 
One of the joys of Maranatha. 

173
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:15,000
Every year, is that I mean, 
people who want to be here for 

174
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,200
the word of God, and that's a 
testament because you don't have

175
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,900
to be your grown adults, most 
significant, right? 

176
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:24,300
And we don't have rules and we 
don't play tricks for you to get

177
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:26,000
in here. 
We don't have any prizes and 

178
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,200
stuff. 
That's for a different thing, 

179
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,600
but not for you to get to the 
work that we have no incentive 

180
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,900
other than this is God's voice 
and I should be the greatest 

181
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,900
incentive along. 
And so I'm not saying this 

182
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:37,800
because in years past, we've had
to struggle getting people in 

183
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,100
here or people wander off and 
then tens is not as strong as it

184
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:42,700
should be. 
Actually, it's the opposite. 

185
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:44,900
We hear people come just for the
meetings and they drive very, 

186
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:46,700
very far. 
That's very, very encouraging. 

187
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,400
But nonetheless, you never know 
every year is different. 

188
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:54,000
The enemy would love to hinder 
you in this weekend to receive 

189
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,900
God's work. 
He doesn't give up just because 

190
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,200
this ministry has a reputation 
of people would love to hear the

191
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,900
word of God, especially in 
these. 

192
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:04,900
Last days, I wouldn't be 
surprised if the obstacles would

193
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:08,300
be very strong. 
And so be aware of that and be 

194
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:10,100
mindful of that. 
Who cares? 

195
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:13,400
If your friends don't want to 
come come and receive God's 

196
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,100
work? 
They want to sleep in, let them 

197
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:19,400
sleep in, come to receive God's 
work, but let me take it for, I 

198
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,500
love this and I just finished 
three gone to turn there, but in

199
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:25,800
Exodus 3, we read when Moses is 
there in the wilderness. 

200
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
And the angel of the Lord 
appears in the bush and becomes 

201
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,300
a manifestation, a strange kind 
of position of a bush that's 

202
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:35,700
burning but not consumed. 
And if you read verse 3 and 4 

203
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:39,500
carefully, what you see is that 
very, very specifically, the 

204
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:43,800
voice of God knew that bush. 
There's not amplify until 

205
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,900
something happens actually 
moving into point and actually 

206
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:49,600
is chapter 3. 
If you want to see you in your 

207
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,700
Bibles, you can turn there with 
me because this has been a 

208
00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:53,400
life-changing principle in my 
life. 

209
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:02,100
We see an exodus three. 
And Moses said, I will turn 

210
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:07,000
aside to see this great sight. 
Why the bush is not burned. 

211
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,500
When the Lord saw that, he 
turned aside to see God called 

212
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:16,000
him out of the Bush, Moses Moses
and he said, here, I am. 

213
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:22,400
I read this and it dawned on me,
one particular, night years ago,

214
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,100
in my own personal reading, and 
it shot out like a narrow and 

215
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,700
pierced my heart because this is
what I take out of this. 

216
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,600
The wording is so strategic 
imply that God did not choose to

217
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,900
speak to Moses until he knew. 
He had Moses attention. 

218
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:44,400
God chose not to speak to Moses 
until he first learned at saw 

219
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,400
that Moses turned around and 
gave his full attention to the 

220
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,300
manifestation of God. 
I think, the reason why most 

221
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,900
meetings don't hit our hearts 
and most times in our personal 

222
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:59,300
meaning, we don't get anything 
is because of this very reason 

223
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:04,800
we're very distracted punch. 
We're very distracted people, 

224
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:10,700
and God like this. 
Waits for us to give the honor 

225
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:13,500
of our attention to before he 
will make anything personal from

226
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:16,300
his word to us. 
So I encourage your be intention

227
00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:20,300
of coming in here and limiting 
and removing all the 

228
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:22,100
distractions. 
Can I tell you what I do, when I

229
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:25,600
come to me this mean, maybe you 
don't, you don't have to take 

230
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,600
it. 
I'm not there to sit beside my 

231
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,600
friends. 
Like this is not about friends 

232
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,100
and I'm not there. 
I will talk afterwards. 

233
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:36,200
We have a whole day after the 
meeting to be able to hang out. 

234
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,400
But in this moment right here, I
need to hear from the Lord. 

235
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,800
I want to hear from the Lord is 
a wonderful feature. 

236
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Its, if I think it's an every 
iPhone, I'm not sure. 

237
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:49,200
It's called silent mode. 
Its glorious, it's wonderful. 

238
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,100
It's probably the best feature 
of every phone. 

239
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:56,600
Try. 
It will help a lot that promise,

240
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,300
the intentional to hear God's 
work. 

241
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:02,800
These messages and these 
meetings have been prayed over 

242
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,000
with great intensity because we 
believe that we're living in 

243
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,300
unprecedented times, this isn't 
the meetings are not a secondary

244
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:14,100
perk to this very reason why 
we're doing this weekend so that

245
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:16,800
you would know something of the 
Special Touch from the Lord 

246
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,100
through his word being 
proclaimed. 

247
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:22,700
In some Lastly, be intentional 
about True Fellowship. 

248
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:25,900
We also organize this weekend so
that you would know, True 

249
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,300
Fellowship. 
We know people even people at 

250
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:31,700
their wives here people that 
their husbands here, people have

251
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:34,600
met lifelong friends here. 
That's awesome. 

252
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,400
That's wonderful. 
I mean when people say that 

253
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,500
they're almost like, they say it
as a negative thing, that is not

254
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:41,200
a negative thing. 
Where else would you want to 

255
00:15:41,208 --> 00:15:43,000
find a spouse? 
Other than someone who came for 

256
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,900
a weekend to hear God's word? 
Amen. 

257
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:47,300
That's wonderful friends. 
Amen. 

258
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,200
But here's the thing, when Paul 
Row two. 

259
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:53,900
The Romans, he was not writing 
to a group of preachers and 

260
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:57,100
evangelists. 
He was, he was writing to a 

261
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:00,100
group of Christians that if you 
just go to the next chapters, 

262
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:03,800
you get an idea of who they were
woman men, young and old. 

263
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,800
And to this group of people, he 
was saying, I can't wait to be 

264
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,100
in your midst because through 
your company. 

265
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:13,700
I the great Apostle, Paul, and 
greatly refreshed. 

266
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,100
Take advantage of this weekend 
where you're outside of your 

267
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:22,000
normal schedule and curriculum 
and you're with a bunch of 

268
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,800
people, also chose to be your, I
hope for Sanctified reasons. 

269
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:29,600
Come to the prayer meetings, we 
have prayer meetings, joined the

270
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,500
activities. 
Let people sit at your table at 

271
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,800
lunch and dinner that are not 
the people that you hang out 

272
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,300
with. 
When you go back home, be open, 

273
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:40,300
be sensitive. 
There are some people here as 

274
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:43,100
you saw for the first time that 
are stepping foot on this 

275
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:45,500
grounds, they took a plane, they
flew Alone. 

276
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,000
They're staying at a hotel there
here, without knowing anybody, 

277
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
that can be daunting, and let me
say this, if that's you, please,

278
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,600
I want to meet you come up. 
After one of these meetings, I 

279
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,300
would love to shake your hand. 
I would love to, at least, say 

280
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:59,400
hello and get to know your name,
but for everybody else, let your

281
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,500
heart be open to other people. 
You know what that means? 

282
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,400
It means it's okay to approach 
somebody and say, hi. 

283
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:08,099
It's okay when somebody says, hi
to you to ask some questions 

284
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:10,500
about who they are and where 
they're from, you'd be amazed to

285
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:13,900
know how you can be blessed by 
them and how they can be blessed

286
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,400
by you. 
There's something special that 

287
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,300
God has reserved for this 
weekend, based on the simple 

288
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,300
principle of what we just read 
in Romans. 

289
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:25,200
But it will require some 
intentionality and so strive for

290
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,800
that and you will leave here, 
knowing knowing this 

291
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,600
refreshment, I can guarantee you
that. 

292
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,800
So as we close, let's just pray 
and ask God to help us, shall 

293
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,800
we? 
And let's Implement what? 

294
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:44,100
These words have offered us. 
Lord. 

295
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:47,300
We really thank you from the 
bottom of our hearts. 

296
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,900
For what you have planned for 
each of us as Paul believed that

297
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:56,000
it was, the will of God Alone, 
that would give him the grace to

298
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,800
be with the Roman Believers. 
We believe it is by your will 

299
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,100
that every person is here for 
this weekend, we have no doubt 

300
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:05,700
about it. 
Father, we ask that you would 

301
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:08,200
truly make this a time of 
refreshing. 

302
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,200
We confess that true refreshment
is not in vacations. 

303
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:18,400
It's not in experiences that we 
can purchase with money or true.

304
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,300
Freshman is in the Redeemer and 
thank you. 

305
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:26,300
That that truth expands into 
those that you and well, we ask 

306
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:31,500
Lord no matter how we came in 
this weekend, we ask Lord that 

307
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:34,100
you would truly refresh as we 
are in need of it. 

308
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,400
We want to drink deeply from The
Well of your wisdom and Truth 

309
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,000
and Love and so Lord may you 
push back. 

310
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,300
All schemes of Satan, would you 
cancel all the things that we 

311
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,200
try to disrupt? 
What you plan to do in our 

312
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,400
hearts and Lord may we leave 
here? 

313
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:53,200
Glorifying you, realizing that 
you have truly filled as a fresh

314
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,400
with the Holy Spirit. 
This is our desire in our crime 

315
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,300
in Jesus name, amen.

316
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:03,700
I believe we have few more 
songs.
