Lord, speak, let your word come 97 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,920 alive. Let there be breakthrough. 98 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,600 Let every Jordan part, let every burden lift. 99 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,240 And Lord, we declare that today is a double portioned handoff. 100 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:49,840 In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen. 101 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,400 Not just this is powerful because Elijah is asking for 102 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,800 something to meet. Let me inherit a double portion. 103 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,720 That's big, don't you? That's not a small prey, OK, 104 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,600 That's not a small. It's not like asking for a nice 105 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,240 moment, not asking for a little encouragement. 106 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,720 He's asking for double. He's asking for something big 107 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,200 and huge for a heavens upgrade. And so Eliza tells him he said 108 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,200 OK, if you see me when I'm taken, it's yours. 109 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,960 If you see me when I'm going, it's yours. 110 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,000 Now, in other words, this isn't just something small, something 111 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,040 like it's not casual. It's not just for Bystone, the 112 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,320 spectators, you know, It is not for people that's half in, half 113 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,520 out, OK? This is for someone who stays 114 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,800 close enough to see it through. Can you say I meant somebody? 115 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,840 And so the Bible says that they were walking, talking, and so 116 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:52,720 they were going together. And then suddenly a chariot of 117 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:59,240 fire, horses of fire, a whirlwind, Elijah is taken up. 118 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,840 And so his mantle falls. And the Bible is clear. 119 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,880 It says Elijah saw it. Not sick of her, not through a 120 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,600 rumor, not through somebody's story first hand. 121 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,240 He saw it, OK. And so when Elijah then goes up, 122 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,400 the mantle falls, and Elijah tears his old clothes. 123 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,200 It's like he said, I cannot step into what's next, wearing what's 124 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,600 old, wearing the old habits. The old mind said, OK, what's 125 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,520 old? So then he picks up the mantle, 126 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,640 and then he walks to the Jordan. Now the Jordan is a picture of a 127 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:50,680 barrier and so I sense maybe in your situation a barrier and I'm 128 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,800 sensing A barrier breaking anointing in this place. 129 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320 Yeah, get ready for breakthrough because what's that? 130 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,040 I'm sensing A breakthrough, a breaker anointing. 131 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,120 Yeah, that's that's the what I go a breakthrough anointing. 132 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,600 OK, breaking through. And yes, there's Jordan, this 133 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:15,240 barrier, and you know Elijah, he doesn't stand up and stare at 134 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,880 the barrier. He doesn't stare at this Jordan 135 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,760 and says, oh, no, I guess I'm stuck. 136 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,320 No, he strikes the water and he cries out, where is the God of 137 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,360 Elijah? Boom, the water pass and there 138 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,960 is breakthrough. Somebody said breakthrough, 139 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,280 breakthrough and he breaks through and he crosses over not 140 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,440 into Haitan.

Ask big, stay close and take it 195 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,040 up. OK, Because that's the secret 196 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,560 sauce. That's the secret recipe, the 197 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,920 revelation, the keys. OK, I'm giving you today from 198 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,920 the word of God to receiving double Amen. 199 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Because I'm believing God for us for a double portion. 200 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,800 So three steps. Are you ready for these three 201 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,800 steps? What now? 202 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,760 Let's start at the beginning, before the mantle falls, before 203 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,480 the suddenly environment, before the charity of fire, before the 204 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,520 Jordan fart. Let's start there in the 205 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,560 beginning because Elijah asks a question. 206 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Elijah asks a student a question. 207 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,000 OK, tell me, what can I do for you? 208 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,400 So it starts with heaven. Still ask that question because 209 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,800 faith has a voice. Now I want you to see Elijah's 210 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,480 response because Elijah did not play it safe. 211 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:45,520 Yes, mentor, just pray for me. You know, let me just pray that 212 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,080 a small survival pray.

No, he asked Beak. 215 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,160 He used that moment, that opportunity to ask Beak to ask 216 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,320 for double. That's asking Beak. 217 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,760 Somebody say double so we both and ask me and I love this about 218 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,800 Jesus because Jesus pulls faith out of people. 219 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,160 Matthew chapter 20 the two blind men said next in the row here in 220 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:22,160 Jesus pass by. Oh and I started not silently. 221 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,960 OK, so it's publical to shout right OK, it's in the Bible. 222 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,120 They shouted, now who tried to silence because religion, dead 223 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,920 religion tries to bring silence like a dead people. 224 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,000 OK, not in the church. The church is alive. 225 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,440 The church, we shout unto Jesus, we cry out because these two 226 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,640 live men, they heard Jesus, Jesus. 227 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,040 No, the moment Jesus is in the place, that's the moment to get 228 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,720 loud. That's the moment to cry out. 229 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,120 That's the moment to ask be with Jesus. 230 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,320 When we cooperated together, this is the opportunity I said 231 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,120 they showed Jesus help us, son of David, have mercy on us. 232 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,480 And the crowd of these people that tried to silence them and 233 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,280 tried to stop and shut them down, but they cried out even 234 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,080 louder. They have the volume louder than 235 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,440 lost the star stars directly, OK, louder than the football, 236 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,880 OK. And they cried out louder. 237 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:22,600 Nice Jesus and Jesus thought Jesus called it and he says this 238 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,320 this amazing same thing we see this Elijah asked the same which 239 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,280 took to his student and Jesus asked these guys watch this 240 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,040 Matthew 20. Jesus stopped and called them 241 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,880 What do you want for me to do for you? 242 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,160 But you know this is like an obvious question, OK, but but 243 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,360 you see, Jesus wants to pull faith out. 244 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,440 Yeah, these guys did not play inside. 245 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:57,160 They did not, OK, Gee, you know, just help us to, you know, go 246 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,240 through life. Survival prayers, Small, small 247 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,520 prayer. No, they did not pray something 248 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,640 small. They did not ask for something. 249 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,040 They did not ask. How can I just get me through 250 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,440 this week, through this day? They asked for something big, 251 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,160 they ask for a miracle. They say, let us see. 252 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,960 That means healing, that means a miracle that doesn't, that 253 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,880 cannot do that in their own strength. 254 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,720 This will require a miracle from him. 255 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,920 And these guys are blind. OK, This is asking a big prayer. 256 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,400 Heal us. That's a big ask. 257 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,840 And Jesus performed the miracle and Jesus healed them. 258 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,280 Listen to me, your miracle is under is on the other side of 259 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,920 your big ask your big bold request. 260 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,320 That's right, your miracles on the other side of a face cry 261 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,560 from your heart and cried out putting at the mark and say ask 262 00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:00,600 big a bold request. Can you say I mean somebody Now 263 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,120 let me give you a testimony. A grandmother suddenly used she 264 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,000 had to take care of the little ones, her grandchildren, school 265 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,360 fees, pressure dolls, no extra money and the grandmother had to 266 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:18,840 take care of his grandchildren and so it would have been very 267 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,320 easy for her to just pray small prayer and like Lord help us 268 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,880 just to get through the week. This helped us to get through 269 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,680 this survival. We'll do our best. 270 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,280 But she didn't. She asked me, she asked God, you 271 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,000 are the God of abundance. You are the creator of entire 272 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,960 news. You are big. 273 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,320 You are more than enough of God. Make a way. 274 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,400 And so she went to the school to pay the school fees and they 275 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,160 they tell her you don't owe anything. 276 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,560 And that's not all. Somebody prepaid the school fees 277 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,400 in advance. Somebody partying in a year and 278 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,880 saying that, come on, somebody give God some price in this 279 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,120 place. Hallelujah. 280 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,520 Yeah. And so that's what I love about 281 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,280 God. The question is not can God do 282 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,440 it? God is all powerful. 283 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,839 God is going to tell you. The question is, are you asking? 284 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,720 Yeah, yeah, that's right. Are you asking Because Elijah 285 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,079 did not ask for scraps. Elijah didn't ask for small 286 00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:23,359 pitch. Elijah asked me. 287 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,600 They ask for double. Somebody say I'm asking big. 288 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,160 Come on, say that I am asking big. 289 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,200 Say it again. I am asking big. 290 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,600 Yeah. And I'm expecting double. 291 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,040 I mean, now that's number one. Ask big now. 292 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,600 Yes. Next step. 293 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:50,720 OK, Big praise are powerful, but big praise needs to walk close. 294 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:57,360 OK. So #2 is stay close, right? 295 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:05,080 Because when we ask, we must stay in position to receive. 296 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:09,600 So you've asked big, but you've got to stay close in position to 297 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,080 receive that double portion, right? 298 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,240 So #2 is stay close. Now, double comes to people who 299 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,600 stay committed. Right? 300 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,200 Now, this is where a lot of people miss it because double 301 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,040 doesn't just fall on bystanders, spectators, people sitting on 302 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,800 the sidelines watching from a distance. 303 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,000 Double falls on people. It comes to people who stay 304 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:45,360 close, who stay committance. OK, And so when I say stay 305 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:51,880 close, I don't mean perfect. I mean connected God to his 306 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,560 house, to his work, to your assignment. 307 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,240 Stay close and connected to the people where God has prompted 308 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,840 you. Yeah, that's right. 309 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,320 Stay connected to the brothers and the sisters, the leadership, 310 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,040 the church with God has planted you to stay close and stay 311 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:13,640 committed where God has prompted you, even when it is 312 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,680 inconvenient. So let me just say this, There 313 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,080 is no perfect church now there's many Bible believing churches. 314 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,800 Praise God. Please ask the Holy Spirit to 315 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,160 take you exactly where God clients you and stay connected, 316 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,840 OK? Stay connected to the leadership 317 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,000 even when it's not easy, even when Constable does not have a 318 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,360 British accent and he's from South Africa, OK. 319 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,160 And he's not all polished, you know, like, you know, he's he's 320 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,120 a bit sort of radical and, you know, different accent and what 321 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:51,080 But you know, I don't want to go into but stay close to the 322 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,200 leader, that goddess rather than your life. 323 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,200 And we see this with the Bible. Why did the Elijah. 324 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,920 OK, because I want to show you the story between Elijah, his 325 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:02,160 master, his leader, his mentor and his student. 326 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,160 What happened with Elijah? Elijah in this story he was 327 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,600 tempted 3 times to leave his master. 328 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:18,800 Oh, I feel that three tests came to him over and over again for 329 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:25,560 Elijah to leave the disconnect. OK, three places that I'm going 330 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,360 to show you here in the Bible because this is biblical. 3 331 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:35,280 places for Elijah to disconnect from his leader. 3 exit reps 332 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:42,440 free of reps OK, And we see this Eventfile, Jericho and Jordan, 333 00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:48,920 those three places we said because that's where Elijah the 334 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:54,240 leader told the student, stay here, there's an offer, there's 335 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,960 an opportunity there. Stay there free over and over. 336 00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:03,120 He said three times for him to live. 337 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,960 We see the same thing with Jesus. 338 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,320 Remember Jesus, where people live, People were leaving. 339 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,040 OK, now is there anything wrong with Jesus? 340 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,760 OK, because many times, you know, people disconnect and they 341 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,000 blame the leader or the church. Now, OK, was there anything 342 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,360 wrong with Jesus? No. 343 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,280 OK that people leave Jesus. OK, right. 344 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,440 So Jesus turned to his own. I asked the same question. 345 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,840 Elijah fought like his servant. Now Jesus said Jesus, Oh, do you 346 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,960 also want to leave? Yeah, that isn't John chapter 6. 347 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,040 OK, Now, when you years ago, when we splanted this church 348 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,000 over 9 years ago, I had guys. I mean, there's one guy he said, 349 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000 listen, pass the wall. Listen, you don't have to worry. 350 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,160 I'll take a bullet for you. OK. 351 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,880 And then when the bullet started flying, OK, I never saw him 352 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,600 again. I'm like, OK, so talk is James 353 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,400 like, yeah, yeah, when the bullets flow, I'll. 354 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,240 I'll take a bullet for you. You know, when things get really 355 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,760 rough on pressure, when the pressure hit, I'm like, OK, I've 356 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,560 never seen him. And so. 357 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,560 So what I'm just saying is that these three tests for Elijah to 358 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,200 leave, OK, to quit, to give up. But what I love about Elijah, 359 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,040 every time he said no, I will not leave you. 360 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,640 And he said this here at verse 2, I want to show you, but he 361 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,600 answers the same way every time he says here. 362 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,600 But Elijah said as surely as the Lord loves and as you live, I 363 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,720 will not leave you. OK, Hallelujah. 364 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:35,880 Now I love it because he made a decision that I will not leave, 365 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,800 OK, I will stay committed. I will stay in covenant, stay 366 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,080 closed because that's covenant language. 367 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,440 We talked about covenant, right, Covenant language, that's 368 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,200 commitment language, OK, Staying close, that's not, I'm not 369 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:57,240 quitting halfway, OK. And so somebody said I will not 370 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,960 quit. Yeah, said again, I will not 371 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:04,320 quit. Now Elijah had two metals. 372 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,040 The first one was the startup. That was not double motion, OK, 373 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,680 the first one, that's the easy one that was motivating him, you 374 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,520 know kick starting it. But the second one, and this is 375 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,440 where we're talking about today's a double portion and 376 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,800 this is where a lot of people miss it. 377 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,520 Majority of people easy one first, but fine, right. 378 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,640 We are talking, we are going deeper today, OK, because this 379 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,440 is now something because you see a lot of profits around that was 380 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,760 on the mountain spectacular. Who got the actual double 381 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,800 portion And you actually can't read that. 382 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,320 I incredible how many people were actually spared. 383 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,280 How many? And these are prophet 384 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,760 Christians. We're not talking about 385 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,840 Philistines. We're actually spectating, 386 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,520 watching from there. OK, who got the double portion? 387 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,240 Now I want you to show this because the second metal, that's 388 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,760 the one that comes from commitment, staying close. 389 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,920 OK, now here's the thing, because we all know how this 390 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,640 works. Everybody joins the gym in 391 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,840 January and the gym is packed. Everybody in the gym, green 392 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,360 smoothies. We've got our new exercise 393 00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:10,160 workout clear and we are in the gym and people, it's just the 394 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,280 gym is full. I mean, the gym is back January. 395 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,240 Wow, new membership. We're right there. 396 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,400 OK, taking selfish, posting it on Instagram, Facebook, social 397 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,520 media, right there taking selfish on you know, it's it's 398 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,280 it's coming on. You know, the muscles are going 399 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,400 and so taking selfies by the treadmill, it's like training 400 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,160 for the Olympics, you know? And yeah, it's. 401 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,360 But then suddenly February shows up and all of a sudden the 402 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:36,520 jump's empty. It looks like it's, it's like 403 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,240 that one in the jump. It's like, it's like only a 404 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,920 private members club, Private members in the jump only It's 405 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,960 like what's happened to all the people in February. 406 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,680 The chips empty. OK, Now that's what I want you 407 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,720 to understand about commitment. Because you see, The thing is 408 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,840 motivation that gets you started in January, the motivations that 409 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,480 get you started. But commitment keeps you going. 410 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:10,280 It keeps us going. And the double portion does not 411 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,040 come to the January crown. The double portion did not come 412 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:18,760 in Elijah's first mantle moment. He did not receive the double 413 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,320 portion. That was the start him out. 414 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,400 He was working in the field. They got the man and he started. 415 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,520 He said goodbye to his family. Move butter. 416 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,160 That's the start. That's easy. 417 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:33,160 The second the double portion anointing comes to the February 418 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,440 crowd, it comes to staying committed. 419 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,920 OK, continuing to stay close. Somebody say stay close because 420 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,400 these three stops locations in the Bible. 421 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,240 We see that in the Bible, but these are real seasons that we 422 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,000 all go through in our lives. Every one of us goes through 423 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,440 temptations to leave, to quit, to give up. 424 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,000 Maybe it's in a family or in a work situation. 425 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,800 You, there's those temptations that's coming to quit, to leave, 426 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,520 to throw in the toilet, to give up. 427 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,880 Bethel was the first one and that speaks of uncomfortable, 428 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,240 unclear. You've been crying, but you 429 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,880 haven't seen anything much. The second one is Jerika. 430 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:25,080 Jerika a talks is a picture of resistance, pressure and 431 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,000 resistance. Big walls, high walls, delay, 432 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,960 opposition. That's the second one. 433 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,160 The third one is the Jordan is a picture of transition. 434 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:41,000 That is a barrier between where you are and where what's next, 435 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,320 your next level that God has for you. 436 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,640 That is the barrier of Jordan. OK, now here's what I have 437 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,280 learned over the years, and I've seen it many times over years of 438 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,160 ministry just before you get to your break, when you are close 439 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,640 to your breakthrough, and I'm just telling you now, you come 440 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,960 right there by people, the breakthrough, that's when the 441 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,240 temptation gets the latest to give up, to quit. 442 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,560 It gets not because you are weak, but because you are close. 443 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,480 Yeah, yeah, that's it. OK. 444 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,640 And Elijah said I will not leave you. 445 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:23,840 And I believe God is saying to somebody today, stay close, stay 446 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:29,480 faithful, stay connected, stay planted, stay connected because 447 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,800 you are closer than you think. Then you say I mean something. 448 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,000 Now maybe you feel discouraged that work and you are thinking, 449 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:42,600 well, they don't notice me, they don't appreciate me, they don't 450 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,000 pay me enough. And you'll be tempted to work 451 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,920 half full Efrain, half Efrain, working only half excellence. 452 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:57,520 OK, now the scripture says in Colossians 323, whatever you do, 453 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:03,120 work at it with all, not half. Whatever job, whatever company 454 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:04,760 you're working, we don't do half a job. 455 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,200 Work at it with all your heart as you work it for for the boss 456 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,000 or for the Lord. By the way, what we're doing 457 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,960 here is not for me or any leader, it's for God. 458 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,840 Whatever you do in God's church, whatever you do like to work is 459 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,440 not for, it's for Jesus. The Bible says when you work at 460 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,400 your workplace, and I know what it is. 461 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,880 I worked in Bristol as a registered manager for many, 462 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,320 many years running care homes. I know what night shifts is, I 463 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,920 know what handover is, I know nursery, I know all of that. 464 00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:35,920 I know what is working with excellence because I thank God 465 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,360 we had the highest CTC rating without standing, going over and 466 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,040 above. I know what it is to be in 467 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,680 working in the corporate environment from South Africa to 468 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,960 the UK, working with a high level of excellence, including 469 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,360 ministry. Whatever we do, if it's now, 470 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,240 yeah, or if I'm sitting behind the desk, whatever, I'm working 471 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,360 for the Lord. We are working for the Lord, not 472 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,280 for human masters. So the Lord sees. 473 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,600 So that means that it's not your boss. 474 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,800 That is your source, your company, your business. 475 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,480 The Lord is our source. That's who you source. 476 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,440 The Lord is your source and so garnish ourselves and Psalm 75 477 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,720 talks about that promotion does not come from man. 478 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,680 And yes, it's like, okay, the Bosco promotion is a promotion 479 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,840 does not come from the East or the West promotion. 480 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,600 The Bible says come from God. It comes from the law. 481 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,640 OK, So when you keep on showing up with excellence and you keep 482 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,800 on working in your job with good spirit, with a good attitude, 483 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,800 with excellence, whenever you are working, listen, God sees 484 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,640 it. God sees even when you do what 485 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,200 is right and it's unfair. It seems unfair. 486 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,360 Co workers stress at work. God sees it. 487 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,800 If you do the right thing, He keeps records. 488 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,960 Yeah. OK. 489 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,280 And God knows how to open doors. He knows how to promote you. 490 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,640 Yeah. He knows how to promote you. 491 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,560 Make a way for you that no man can block. 492 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,640 No. When God opens the door, no man 493 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,440 could shut it. Yeah, OK. 494 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,840 No, man, come block. God has got a way of promoting 495 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,240 you because God sees your work and some of you need at this 496 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,560 point, maybe for your home, because staying close, and this 497 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,320 is so important because even in our marriages, staying close 498 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:30,040 doesn't just mean staying close. Staying married on paper, stay 499 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:37,160 faithful, stay humble, stay kind, stay with a a soft heart, 500 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,320 even when you could heart, heart in the heart, stay soft, stay 501 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,560 kind. OK, I remember the testimony, 502 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,640 you know, about Mike and Lisa. And so that was sweetheart high 503 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,400 school sweethearts. And so 15 years into the 504 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:58,360 Murrays, kids, bills, pressure, exhaustion started kicking in 505 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,440 and the romance didn't disappear. 506 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,320 The romance just got buried under a very busy life. 507 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,080 And so Mike stops thinking, well, this is this marriage is 508 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,800 not what I thought it would be. And Lisa, she feels unseen in 509 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,640 his misunderstandings. Now. 510 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,720 It's not one big explosion. This is a slow drift over time. 511 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,720 I guess that moment, well, maybe I should stop trying. 512 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,720 It's just easier to quit and to give up. 513 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,600 But something in him decided, I'm not leaving. 514 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,000 Cheat. I'm not leaving this much. 515 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,920 I'm not leaving this family. And they started doing small 516 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:45,480 things, fateful things. Scheduled date nights, started 517 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,040 talking real conversations, started praying together even 518 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,440 when it felt awkward. And so they got counsel, 519 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,960 marriage counseling instead of letting pride win. 520 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,280 Now, was it easy? No. 521 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,160 Was it instant? No. 522 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,520 But over time, something healed. Now here's what I love. 523 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,640 Because their marriage didn't just supply. 524 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,560 Their marriage got stronger. Their marriage got sweeter, 525 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,640 deeper, and now they're helping other couples. 526 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,520 That's what commitment does, I mean. 527 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,560 And so it keeps you in position for God to restore what the 528 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,680 enemy tried to drain. Is this OK? 529 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,160 Is this helping somebody? Are you with me? 530 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:41,760 Can I give you another one? OK, Two soldiers in a battle in 531 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,480 Germany. And these two soldiers, they 532 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,360 they're very close friends. And the battle is fierce. 533 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:54,080 It's explosions, it's bombs, it's gunfire, chaos everywhere, 534 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,920 just going off around them. And so these soldiers, they, 535 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,560 they then they finally hear the command to retreat. 536 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,240 And so they start running back. And this one soldier noticed and 537 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,080 he realizes my friends was. And so he panicked and he ran to 538 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,040 the officer. And then he just, you know, so I 539 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,560 need permission to go back and find my friend. 540 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,520 And so the officer says, listen, are you crazy? 541 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,960 That will be suicide. You are not going back. 542 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,160 And without missing a beat, he turned back. 543 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,680 He turned around and run back. Anyway. 544 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,720 Minutes later year, he comes back, hobbling with the lifeless 545 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,800 body of his breath. And so this officer, he also, I 546 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,120 said, I told you not to go. You could have been killed, OK? 547 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,920 You could have died. I knew that your friend was 548 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,360 already there. And the soldier said, no, Sir, I 549 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:52,600 got there just in time. And his last words were I knew 550 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,440 he would come back. Whoa. 551 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,920 I see if we come back, that's commitment. 552 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,640 That's covenant. Oh, come on. 553 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,360 That is staying gross even it costs something. 554 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,199 Covenant. That's what I want people to say 555 00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:20,840 about us. I knew you would not quit. 556 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,840 I knew you would not quit on that match. 557 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,719 I knew you would not quit on that. 558 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,040 I knew you would not quit. I knew you would not quit on 559 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,480 your faith. Now let me ask you, what's the 560 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,400 area that you have been tainted to walk away from? 561 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,239 Where have you been tainted To stop trying, to stop believing, 562 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,520 to stop serving you, stop trying? 563 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,480 Where have you been tainted because God is staying? 564 00:34:55,159 --> 00:35:01,000 State flaps, staplement, stay faithful, keep doing the right 565 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:11,120 thing, because you cannot see it yet, but up ahead is you cannot 566 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,520 see it yet, but just around the corner you're on the perch. 567 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:20,600 Up ahead is a breakthrough. Up ahead you cannot see it feels 568 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,360 resistant. Attempted to leave, but hang on 569 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:34,640 up ahead, said the whole ocean, please not kind of just before 570 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,000 the we go get it. I feel enlightening in this 571 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,080 place. You're still with me, judge. 572 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,960 So we talk about asking big talked about staying close. 573 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,120 OK, now the next one. Let's talk about the last one. 574 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,840 Pick up the mantle. Now in Scripture, the maximum 575 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,840 was a cup. It represents spiritual, it 576 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:08,560 represents according favor, assignment authority. 577 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:15,160 OK, now God, when the Mansell when the anointing, that is God 578 00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:18,320 enabling you to do something that you cannot do in your 579 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,880 screen, right? So it's God's grace for what's 580 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,600 next, for the next level. Now let me break it out. 581 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,000 And you said the way you'll remember it and mantle. 582 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,320 OK and cool. That is God's, yes, resting on 583 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,280 the line. Amen. 584 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,760 OK, now there's moments when God will put something within your 585 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,440 reach and it's like an open door or it's like an opportunity. 586 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,400 It's like a business call, phone and e-mail, something that's 587 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,440 within like a match or a prompting of this first 588 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,520 scripture, something that God puts within your reach. 589 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,880 Don't just admire it, Planet. Pick it up. 590 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,320 Yeah, Come on with you. Pick up the opportunity. 591 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,560 Pick up the mantle. OK, That's not opportunity. 592 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,920 Now Elijah is taken up. When Elijah is taken up, the 593 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,960 mantle falls to the ground, right? 594 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,360 So Elijah, he's taken up. He's gone. 595 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,400 But what's the mate? The mantle, Right. 596 00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:24,320 That's the. And Elijah does something that 597 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,160 shifts and changes everything. He picks it up. 598 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,560 Come on, somebody are you getting? 599 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:37,080 Yes, he picks it up. And he steps into another level, 600 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,640 another world. He steps into his poll. 601 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,920 Big ask. His request becomes realistic. 602 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,840 And there is a transfer. There is an importation, there 603 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,600 is an anointing, there's a tronsters, there is a hand a 604 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,640 handover OK, we know what what handover is after 9 shifts. 605 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,840 I've done the stop right. This is what happened last 606 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,800 night, handing over to the next go changing of the guards. 607 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,960 Right now there's the transfer handover. 608 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,280 Think about because I used to run a lot. 609 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,480 I mean, I one is falling into hurdles. 610 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,600 I did 100. I I want somebody records. 611 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,160 The other day they phoned me like after like 26 years or 612 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,000 something I said finally somebody broke your record at 613 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,320 high school. You know, I'm like, OK, my mom 614 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,920 phoned me actually. He's like somebody finally broke 615 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,280 your record. I've been standing for years, 616 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,280 but what I'm saying is I know what what a relay is because we 617 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,680 we have many of those relays. You know, you've got to get the 618 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,040 bats in that's handout. So think of this as Elijah's 619 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,800 going the largest receiving. So there's this handout because 620 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:47,160 the entire relay race can be won for lost in the add on. 621 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,720 Gee, that's I'm telling you, this is a this is an intense 622 00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:56,000 moment. This is a glorious moment of a 623 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,200 handoff moment today. I'm just I'm just sensing 624 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,920 something in this because the entire guys would want to lose 625 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:07,080 in the handoff. So this mantle that falls, this 626 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:15,840 is like a baton hand over. I fell in this place, my God. 627 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,120 And so the baton listen, and this is the big deal because the 628 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:24,800 bat that could be right there and I've been in those fun and I 629 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,840 I would sometimes because I had a great stop. 630 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,640 So I would go start and on the straight, I would go and that 631 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,840 bat's in my hand. I just I know, listen, my buddy 632 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,280 and he could run because I would do the first start and then he 633 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,960 would do the back straight. I'd like please grab this back. 634 00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:47,880 You've got to win that medal. I'm telling you, when you watch 635 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,120 celebrity, you see the same thing because they get ready. 636 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,120 That person they cannot stand lying around looking somewhere 637 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,880 else being spectacular. Just they got to be here. 638 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,520 They're going to like just I'm ready for this bad. 639 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,720 Come on and that relay and I'm off and I and I'm right there. 640 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,240 You see, The thing is that relay race that that's it is there. 641 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,760 But here's the thing. Are you going to grab it? 642 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,320 That's the feeling that are for my next. 643 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,720 Break in the race. Are you gonna grab it? 644 00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:23,360 Because I'm giving it to you. Oh, Gee, I feel the anointing. 645 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,880 Are you going to type this? Who's going to pick it up? 646 00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:29,680 Who's going to pick it up because I've cut it? 647 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,560 The anointing is dead. That's not the thing. 648 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,560 The Batson is dead. It's within range. 649 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,640 It's there. Who is going to take it? 650 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,720 Because listen, the majority of people, the prophets reading, a 651 00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:42,600 couple of prophets were sitting spectating once based on a lot 652 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,800 of spectators start looking for somebody. 653 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,560 If it's one somebody, then who's going to grab it because that 654 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,360 anointing is in this place. Oh my God. 655 00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:55,640 God is saying this is a transfer. 656 00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:00,120 This is a handover. This is a hand of a transfer. 657 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,640 This is a new season. I feel it's so strong. 658 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,200 It's yeah, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. 659 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:17,480 Tomorrow's not guaranteed. Elijah was taken like that. 660 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,680 Gone.

Not one. 679 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,680 It will go into the funding of the Kingdom of God. 680 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:47,960 Oh yes, And he was taken and he was young. 681 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,600 I mean, we're talking about taken at the anointing, the 682 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:52,200 fancy, right? Amen. 683 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,920 Amen. So the question is all because 684 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,960 it's here even now, it's what is it available? 685 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,560 It's not even OK. It is. 686 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,240 Who is going to pick it up? Yeah, because we are here now. 687 00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:09,920 And we thank God for Smith Wiggles. 688 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,760 We thank God for Catherine, thank God for Billy Graham and 689 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,200 Iran. But they're not here. 690 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,160 Yeah. Billy Grant, We can't To be with 691 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,400 the Lord in heaven now we are. Yeah. 692 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,080 Who's going to pick it up? Because mantels don't help 693 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,440 spectators, People from mantels and power carriers, people 694 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,680 that's actually going to take their point in the mantle. 695 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,840 The calling is actually going to do something because that's the 696 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,600 fear of God. Somebody that puts hundreds of 697 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,200 thousands in my hands, say, listen, this money is blood 698 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,600 money. This money is for the Kingdom. 699 00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:46,360 The fear of God. I will not even want to buy 700 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,960 groceries for myself because this is God's money. 701 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,000 This is the church money. I don't date. 702 00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:56,520 I think this is, I've been since the field of God. 703 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,720 And you know, it's like grandpa had a toolbox. 704 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,240 Now the toolbox is not shiny or flashy, OK, but it's full of 705 00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:10,360 tools to fix things, to build things again, provided for 706 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,680 family. But now grandpa died, grandpa's 707 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,520 gone, but his toolbox stayed gone. 708 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:23,880 And so the toolbox can stay in the garage, just stay there. 709 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,680 And just as a memory or that toolbox can be used, it can be 710 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,920 put to good use. It's legacy. 711 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,040 This is what we're talking about, transfer legacy, OK. 712 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:41,320 And so when you pick up the toolbox, you don't just remember 713 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,040 what he did. Like you continue what you 714 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,680 started. Yes. 715 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,600 And you use the tools and you continue and you take it further 716 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,240 and deeper and more, and you bolt. 717 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:58,520 That's the mantle. And so I will ask you again, who 718 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,440 is going to pick it up? Somebody shall. 719 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,160 Yes. Who is going to pick it up? 720 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,720 Who is going to pick it up? Yeah, yeah. 721 00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:14,160 And I heard a dream about you. I love it because every week I 722 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,600 dream. I dream I dream I had a dream. 723 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,640 I see you guys are my dreams. And then in minute I get 724 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,920 immediate. I don't just get a dream, I get 725 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,560 a dream I see you my dream.

Those vessels all right with it. 757 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,960 God's placed them in front of those vessels. 758 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,280 Are there mantels for courage? Mantels for fight? 759 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,280 Yeah. To stop shrinking and start 760 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,120 standing.

Because some of you have been 764 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,640 saying, well, I'll do it later. God is saying pick it up now. 765 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,840 Yeah. Somebody said, well, you know, 766 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,520 I'm not ready yet. Somebody said, well, I'm not 767 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,520 well, God's grace will carry you. 768 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,440 Oh, you know, apostle, I don't know if I am the one will 769 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,120 qualify. No, God doesn't. 770 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:56,480 He calls those that he he don't calls those that's qualified. 771 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:57,880 And that's what happened in my class. 772 00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:04,920 OK. But he calls he he qualifies. 773 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,040 The one that's called and that's what happened about it was I was 774 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,920 in the book of world and God called me, but I was not 775 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,560 qualified. And that was the big thing to 776 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,120 me. I'm like God, I'm not qualified, 777 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:21,600 but God said to me, I've called you and I will qualify. 778 00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:28,280 That's so don't think that put you off, especially when I buy 779 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,040 for that job in Bristol at Saint Monica Trust. 780 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,680 I was not qualified for that job. 781 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,040 In fact, my boss, we were working there in Bristol. 782 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,640 My boss, she had, she applied for the same and she had 13 783 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,800 years experience more than me. And so we both applied for the 784 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,560 same job, not without knowing I was not qualified, but I got the 785 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,920 job. My salary went sky high. 786 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,720 We went to the Bahama. I'm like, Oh my goodness, this 787 00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:59,960 is amazing because God promoted me to such a level above my job 788 00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:04,360 by my loss. God said don't worry about the 789 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,240 qualifications. We get you the job and then we 790 00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:08,120 get you qualified. And then I started studying and 791 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,640 I got my degree just now, often my Sports Studies, I've got my 792 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,720 PPQ levels and all of those. So you get out. 793 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,800 So will you pick it up? OK, Because I'm not quitting, 794 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,920 I'm not leaving. I am picking it up. 795 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,720 Somebody say I'm picking it up. Yeah, I'm picking it up. 796 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,640 And when you pick it up, you don't stay the same. 797 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,120 Yeah, come on.

When you pick it up. 816 00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:23,920 Yeah, once you pick up the mantle. 817 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,800 Now, I just want to keep this disclaimer because once you pick 818 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:34,080 up the mantle, life doesn't always get it's Yeah. 819 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,240 And so you're like, OK, you have more. 820 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:44,680 You step into more, but there's more resistance. 821 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,400 Yeah, you're by God, but there's, you feel more pressure. 822 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,200 That's right. And that doesn't mean you've 823 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,480 missed it.

Because that is where trouble 828 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,920 becomes double, because God never wastes trouble. 829 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,280 OK, he uses it. He uses the trouble, but the 830 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,040 figure to qualify you, to strengthen it, to restore you, 831 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,960 to vote you up Hallelujah.

Wow in the difficult, in the 844 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,600 that's when trouble becomes double blessed. 845 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,280 God restores double even now. Somebody said even now. 846 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,880 So trouble didn't cancel you. OK, it wanna fight you. 847 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,640 So if you've been in a season of trouble, then you've gotta buy. 848 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,640 If you've been in a season of difficult trouble, then get 849 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,560 ready for double double blessing. 850 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:46,280 Trouble means double. Now when there's trouble, get 851 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:50,880 ready for your double blessing. OK, come on, somebody say 852 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,800 trouble means double. Double as I617 says, instead of 853 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,400 your shame, you will receive a double motion. 854 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,080 Instead of this guy, you will receive choice inheritance. 855 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,680 And so you will inherit a double. 856 00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:08,000 It's double call. It's I'm I'm in the Bible and 857 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,080 you're the last thing. Joy will be yours. 858 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,200 And so God replaces shame with double. 859 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,280 He replaces the scrapes with rejoicing. 860 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,240 So he brings you out of trouble with double. 861 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,600 Amen. And so now we all want the 862 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,160 double blessing without walking through the trouble first. 863 00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:30,960 Let's just be honest, OK? OK, I get it. 864 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:40,760 We want the double without the trouble, OK? 865 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,280 We just be honest here. But most of the time they are 866 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,040 connecting the trouble and the double. 867 00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:48,080 The trouble and the double. They come as a package. 868 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:56,320 OK, OK, it's quiet in this Methodist here that's Reformed. 869 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,640 It's very quiet. OK, but I got to give that this 870 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,120 time I I have to preach the full gospel. 871 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,960 OK, Yes, you can. But the whole one, we got to 872 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,280 preach it in context and show you the whole word of God. 873 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,720 OK, So yes, it's quiet. Maybe not a lot of high means, 874 00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:15,520 but I believe you're stupid this morning. 875 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:21,760 OK, but so yeah, the calling on your life, and I know it's not 876 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,240 easy to hear, but the calling on your life attracts them. 877 00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:29,600 OK, now show me the level of trouble and show me the level of 878 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:34,440 quality, OK? And so the enemy thinks that 879 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,080 he's burying you, but God's drafting you. 880 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,360 The enemy thinks he's breaking you, but God is building you. 881 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,760 And so let's look at Job because Job was a good planning on and 882 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,480 God and Job that trouble, he's a phantom in the Bible. 883 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,680 He's a good man Job, but he had trouble. 884 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,240 He'd lost health issues. Christ is confusion. 885 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,280 OK, heartbreak. But yes, what you need to know 886 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,560 is that nothing can happen to you without God's Commission. 887 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,720 And that is amazing. I love that because God's 888 00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:04,840 Commission, he said down with God. 889 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,480 You see, The thing is, the Bible says the enemy had to ask for 890 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,040 permission. He had to ask because God said 891 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,720 down. So that means that God is not 892 00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:16,160 just in control of your life. God is also in control of your 893 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,640 enemy. Yeah, God. 894 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:25,240 Yeah, God said, God please. And so Joe, what he went 895 00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:27,800 through, we know he went through a lot of trouble. 896 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:33,080 He received double blessing. The level of trouble he got 897 00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:37,200 double blessing. OK, it says here he received a 898 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,280 double blessing jug 4210. The Lord restored his fortunes 899 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,000 and guided twice as much as he had before. 900 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,320 OK, that's double. And got twice. 901 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,280 Not really. Not just survival. 902 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,080 Double every double blessing. Double. 903 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,760 Sheep, double. Cobbles, double oxy. 904 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,760 Yeah. Double joy, double influence, 905 00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:02,840 double. That's the kind of God we sell. 906 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,360 Garden restores novel. Double for your trouble. 907 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,120 And now come on. Start with me. 908 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,600 Double for my trouble. Yeah. 909 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,600 I've got to restore job. You can restore you. 910 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,240 God gave the job twice. You can see the view. 911 00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:17,200 Double. OK. 912 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,440 And so if you called it a set back, there's actually a setup. 913 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:26,200 Yeah, I love that. And if you can keep the right 914 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,600 attitude through the trouble, God is saying I'm not just 915 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,120 bringing it out of the trouble, but I'm bringing it out of the 916 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,680 double. Yeah, so if you've had a lot of 917 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:41,480 trouble in your life, family, Mavericks work, get ready for 918 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,040 dumb. Yes, I sort of tell you how your 919 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,440 story ends. Your season don't end in loss. 920 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:54,160 Your season ends in 00. My God. 921 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:01,840 Now, some of you know my story. I shared this with you sometime 922 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,240 but I just want to shave a little bit of Peace of Mind 923 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:12,040 family with you. So why I watched my mom go 924 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,200 through trouble hard seasons especially back then we were for 925 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:22,400 rowdy boys and she had a nursery school, coaching and her own 926 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,000 business and through it all she never quit. 927 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:32,600 Believe it and God bless the not which is a small place just one 928 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:37,760 God gave her a double blessing with those of you that know the 929 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,280 story. They gave her double because 930 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,600 when she thought the season of bearing children was over. 931 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:52,320 God surprised that we're double with twins, a boy and a girl 932 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:57,760 twins double for her trouble. Now Zechariah 912 says, I 933 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:02,520 promise this very day that I will repay 2 blessings for each 934 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:06,200 of your troubles. OK, so I declare with you today, 935 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:11,400 double for your OK, so you shared one tier. 936 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,200 God's about to give you 2 victories. 937 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,640 OK, you lost one job. God is about to open 2 doors. 938 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,920 OK, come on. And so you were the rejected 939 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,760 ones, but God is about to give you double finer. 940 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:34,160 And so I declare double joy is coming, double strength is 941 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,800 coming, double provision is coming, double health is coming. 942 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,640 OK, double peace is coming, double influence, double 943 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,640 anointing is coming.

And so I hear the old saying 946 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:10,480 that get ready because this house is coming into expansion. 947 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,400 Yeah. Yeah. 948 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,520 Fasting and praying the Word of the World categories. 949 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,440 Wrong. That's church. 950 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:26,160 It's about the double. Prepare for increase. 951 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:33,600 Prepare for double. Yeah. 952 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,480 That's why God said release this word because the double motion 953 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:37,640 is yeah, yeah. OK. 954 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,840 And so just stay with me because we're about to bring this to 955 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:46,040 full circle where we started with the lives of standing in 956 00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:52,240 transition, changing of the Gods, transfer atmosphere shift. 957 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:59,200 Remember on that road there were three exit routes, 3 tests, OK? 958 00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:04,360 So the test to give up, test to settle the moment, the 959 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:08,040 suggestion to disconnect, to leave, OK? 960 01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,800 It wasn't an easy road for Elijah. 961 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:13,920 It wasn't a straight road for Elijah. 962 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,560 It was hard. It was difficult trouble, OK. 963 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:23,160 But he kept on saying, and this is what I love about Elijah, he 964 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:28,840 locked in and I don't think Elijah was the easiest man 965 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,680 because that's sometimes where people struggle with a very 966 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,920 strong leader, whether it's was the blockbuster Michelle, any 967 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,880 pastor or any person. It's not always easy because 968 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:44,040 Elijah this is a guy miracle such one that's pulled out fire 969 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,760 based from it's it's on an easy Rd. 970 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:51,680 Many extra drugs that came out. Just stay behind when there's 971 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,720 been somebody there, but he locks in. 972 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,360 He kept on saying I will not leave. 973 01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,480 I will staple man, I will stay close. 974 01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:03,560 I'm not I'm following, I'm coming, I'm staying connected to 975 01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,400 you and that is a man that is covenant that is committed. 976 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,360 They say I am not missing my double motion. 977 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,320 Whenever God has praised you, whatever church, whatever 978 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,920 recognized the leadership connects, stay connected. 979 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,320 That's where your placing is in that like that's how God is a 980 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,160 day God is a day that Elijah and Elijah. 981 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,800 That's how it works. OK, We cannot isolate and do it 982 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,080 alone. We cannot. 983 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,840 That's not biblical. You cannot sit in your mother's 984 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:30,480 basement when yourself on a possible proper. 985 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,720 Go on Castle Online and Facebook at work. 986 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,880 Where are you connected?

I'll do what you want me to do. 1002 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:24,160 Follow the leader. It's the Bible. 1003 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,720 I'm just giving you the revelation of a double portion. 1004 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,840 That's Bible church.

I mean, I the the leader that I 1012 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,080 suspected in Joburg at right back, the pastors like, well, 1013 01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,400 this guy's got long hair bandanas, motorbike, real 1014 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,480 African, you know, guy that's come out of the right mobile and 1015 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,000 it's I'm like God, for five years. 1016 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,560 I'll serve that leader. And we were released with a 1017 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:16,800 double bullshit from something because you look at that time, 1018 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,520 you look at the 1st mantle, 7 years to the second man. 1019 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,440 So it's like God 1-2 years at a church, hop to another church, 1020 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:28,080 hop to it's like where you're not going to grow because you 1021 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,520 start over again when you're then at the next one jumping up, 1022 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,200 booming around. So we got to stay close. 1023 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:37,120 We got to stay in the flat. So when God slaughtered you, but 1024 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,640 now you come into this season, I'm not saying you have to now 1025 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,200 stay here. You can receive double portion 1026 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,680 today. Doesn't matter where you've been 1027 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,120 or how you've moved to understand that. 1028 01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,280 What I'm saying is stay close connected. 1029 01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:56,600 This is Elijah, he connected with his leader and that's the 1030 01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,360 secret. Because before we close, let me 1031 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,160 just give you one more story. I remember watching the movie 1032 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,120 Saving Private Ryan and Captain Miller with his squad. 1033 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,920 They exhausted, they bleeding, they shoots. 1034 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,680 I mean, it's like war going off explosives. 1035 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,280 It's chaos. They're tired, but they're still 1036 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:19,400 moving forward. 1 mission, go get one man and bring him home. 1037 01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,160 1 mission, one man in the battle. 1038 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:29,520 The battle is dangerous, it's costly, it's inconvenient in the 1039 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,560 middle of war. But they keep on moving forward. 1040 01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:36,920 That's the mission. Get him, get private, drive, 1041 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,680 bring him home safe. They don't turn back. 1042 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,200 They don't quit. They don't leave. 1043 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:46,240 They don't settle. Even with every battle going on, 1044 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,200 losing men, they still keep it forward. 1045 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,200 That's the mission. Staying committed. 1046 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,720 Stay together. Captain Miller. 1047 01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,280 Come on, guys, we're going to get this. 1048 01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,200 We are not going to give up because why? 1049 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,160 Somebody higher up said he's worth. 1050 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:16,720 That's good, but that's covered. Somebody higher up said this guy 1051 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:21,840 is worth whatever the cost. We're going to go in there, 1052 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:23,120 we're going to take some bullets. 1053 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,960 We're going to lose. There's going to be some casual. 1054 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,080 But listen, we're going to gate this Firehouse. 1055 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,880 We're going to bring him home. That's what we do for our 1056 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,360 brothers and our sisters. We go, we pray, we take shots we 1057 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,360 don't get, but we bringing people back home. 1058 01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,880 We're getting people this hours once we go, we are staying 1059 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:47,040 committed and that's what rescue love looks like because they're 1060 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,160 in a rescue mission. Rescue love, rescue. 1061 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:55,920 It doesn't stop when it gets hard and difficult, OK? 1062 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,480 It keeps on moving forward. That's commitment. 1063 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,920 That's covenant. And so as moving as that story 1064 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:10,720 is, the gospel is even greater because Jesus did not send a 1065 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:16,360 squad to come and rescue us. Jesus came himself to come and 1066 01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,360 rescue us. The mission was for Jeff to come 1067 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:26,240 himself, and he stepped into our rock and fallen world. 1068 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:31,080 He stepped into our mess, into our pain, into our sin, into our 1069 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,120 difficulties, in our fight and our battle. 1070 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:40,560 Jesus stepped into our fight and he kept on walking, repeated. 1071 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,640 He kept on walking. Jesus came down. 1072 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:47,280 Listen, in Gethsemane there was so many temptations to give up 1073 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:56,880 in said even Jesus itself, like this is rough blood coming out 1074 01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,600 in prey. In Gethsemane, the Bible says he 1075 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:04,720 was really sweeping black. That's temptation to give up. 1076 01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:11,320 Want me to go to the cross? That's hard because he kept on 1077 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,080 walking. They blocked him. 1078 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,200 He kept on walking, they whooped him. 1079 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:20,440 He kept on walking. They nailed Him on a cross. 1080 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:25,600 He kept on loving what it was. When the Father looked at your 1081 01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:33,080 life, your future, your eternity, He didn't say they are 1082 01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:36,360 too far gone. He said they are worth it. 1083 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,840 The Father said that you, they are worth permission. 1084 01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,920 Whatever the God I got with you, that's what he said, you are 1085 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,600 worth permission. That's what the cross is saying 1086 01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:54,160 on the cross, Jesus, man, that's what he said is that you are 1087 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,760 worth it.
