1 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,520 Give him some praise. Hallelujah. 2 00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:15,320 I love you Jesus. Amen. 3 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:22,920 Rich lyrics Rich lyrics. The song just takes me back to 4 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,720 being a boy on a Pew. And I was a young boy at South 5 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,520 Gibson. Pastor Sizemore is my pastor. 6 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,640 Just a little, just a boy on the Pew. 7 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,480 They used to sing that song. So it takes me back to those 8 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:43,200 moments of just being a real young and now having a few more 9 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,840 years added on my life. And I can look over my shoulder, 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,640 understand what those elders were smiling about, what those 11 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,480 wrinkled hands up in the air was testifying to. 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,080 He's been so good to me, so good to me. 13 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:11,080 Hallelujah, thank you, Jesus, Hallelujah. 14 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,600 If you'll stand with me tonight and meet me in the book of 15 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,880 Second Chronicles. Second Chronicles, Amen. 16 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,520 Tonight we're branching out of the Book of Genesis. 17 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:33,640 We've gone to Second Chronicles chapter #12 we need the Lord to 18 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:40,400 help us tonight. Lord woke me up this morning at 19 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,800 3:00. I tried to go back to sleep, it 20 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,640 didn't work. He woke me up with this passage 21 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,320 on my mind, and so I got up and started working on it and worked 22 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,160 on it some more this afternoon, and I pray that it works on us. 23 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Second Chronicles chapter #12 starting with verse #1 came to 24 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,480 pass when Rio Bone had established the Kingdom and had 25 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,040 strengthened himself. He forsook the law of the Lord, 26 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,720 and all Israel with him. Came to pass that in the fifth 27 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,880 year of King Rio, Bone Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against 28 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,920 Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord 29 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,560 with 1200 Chariots and three score 1000 horsemen, and the 30 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560 people were without number. That came with him out of Egypt, 31 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,560 the Lubin's and the Sukiens and The Ethiopians. 32 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,280 And he took the fence cities which pertained to Judah and 33 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,920 came to Jerusalem. Then came Shamaya, prophet to 34 00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:57,120 Rehoboam to the Princess of Judah, that were gathered 35 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,800 together to Jerusalem. Because of Sheeshak said unto 36 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,680 them, Let's say, if the Lord ye have forsaken me, therefore have 37 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,880 I also left you in the hand, Sheeshak. 38 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,920 Whereupon the Princess of Israel, the king, humbled 39 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:16,480 themselves, and they said, the Lord is righteous. 40 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,560 And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of 41 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,800 the Lord came to Jamaiah saying, They have humbled themselves. 42 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,520 Therefore I will not destroy them. 43 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,440 And Please note this next phrase. 44 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,160 But I will grant them everybody say some, some deliverance. 45 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,240 My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand, the 46 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,320 Shishak, the help of the Holy Ghost. 47 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:51,320 Tonight I want to minister this the danger of some deliverance 48 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,040 of some deliverance. Let's pray together tonight. 49 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Lord, I thank you, God, your spirit has been here with us 50 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,920 today. Lord, we have felt it. 51 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,160 We have experienced it. God, it's come alongside us. 52 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,720 The Lord, in each service, through song, through word, I'm 53 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,640 praying God it would meet us here again. 54 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,840 God to the ministry of your word, I'll take these lips of 55 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,920 clay, this mind. I pray, O Lord, God, open the 56 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,320 mark any air, Lord, for my words right now. 57 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,440 God help me, Lord, to speak with passion, conviction. 58 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,040 I pray Jesus in this house, God, and we'll give you the glory and 59 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,280 the praise God for what you accomplish in this place in the 60 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,240 lovely night name of Jesus Christ that we pray Hallelujah 61 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800 and Amen. Everybody say Amen, Amen. 62 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,280 You may be seated tonight in Jesus name. 63 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,400 I want to start here this evening by reminding you what 64 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,720 total deliverance looks like. I know within my title was some 65 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,400 deliverance, but I want to remind you what total 66 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,760 deliverance looks like. It looks like whenever the 67 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,760 Israelites came through the Red Sea and that the waters didn't 68 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,280 just part halfway. They walked through on dry 69 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,400 ground from the beginning of their journey in until they 70 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,520 exited the Red Sea. They didn't have to swim part of 71 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,960 the way or the last part. Not a sandal of theirs was 72 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,240 muddy, so to speak. Not an enemy remained among them 73 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,880 that were following them. The Bible even says that they 74 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,240 turned and saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. 75 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,440 Total deliverance. It's whenever the walls of 76 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,840 Jericho fell down that they didn't fall halfway as scripture 77 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:39,200 describes to us. But God brought them completely 78 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,560 down flat, just like the word had described. 79 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,360 It's total deliverance. Speaking of, whenever the 80 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,000 prodigal son even came back to his father's house and his 81 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,800 father seen him afar off, that his father didn't run out there 82 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,640 and meet him and say go to the servants quarters buddy. 83 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,920 No, but he ran out to meet him and put a robe around his neck 84 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,560 and shoes on his feet and restored him to a status of 85 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,960 sonship within his household. Total deliverance. 86 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,800 It's it's the Jesus that we witness and read about and our 87 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,640 eyes peruse the scriptures, the Jesus that that heals that that 88 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,920 didn't give people partial relief that, that the blind, 89 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,240 whenever he touched them, they saw clearly the leper whenever 90 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,200 he touched them, they were made clean and many of them were even 91 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,960 made whole, not just patched up. The dead didn't come out of the 92 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,280 grave just staggering, but they stood up walking with with 93 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:37,080 confidence in their step. Total deliverance. 94 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Total deliverance is whenever God brings you out of something, 95 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,240 but he also brings you into something better. 96 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,160 And deep down, that's perhaps what every one of us long for in 97 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,720 this house tonight is total deliverance. 98 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,000 We, we don't want to be caught as the testimony that's just 99 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,920 surviving the storm, but we want to be able to walk in peace as 100 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,600 we journey along this road. We, we don't want to have the 101 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,840 testimony that we just escaped sin, but we want to be filled 102 00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:07,120 with the purpose that the Lord has for life. 103 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,520 And we're for sure not in this mode of avoiding hell, but we 104 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480 also want to taste a little bit of heaven on earth as we walk. 105 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280 Amen here below. And if you've ever been there, 106 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,800 if you've ever felt that God had pulled you out sometime in your 107 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,240 past, then you know what I'm talking about when I talk about 108 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,200 total deliverance. But not every rescue feels like 109 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,920 a victory. You may remember the story years 110 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,840 ago of Apollo 13, NASA's third attempt to the the land men upon 111 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,280 the moon. And the mission launched with 112 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,320 hope, and they had expectation, and they launched with precision 113 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,560 and it was meant to be something very historic. 114 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,120 But about 56 hours or so into their voyage and oxygen tank 115 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,080 exploded and the state crap was very quickly crippled. 116 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,640 And dreams of walking up on the moon had just disintegrated in a 117 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,520 in a matter of minutes. And the crew and NASA engineers 118 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,000 were scrambling to survive. They they, they used duct tape, 119 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,760 they used ingenuity, they used prayer, if you will, all these 120 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,080 things holding it together. And after six days of tension, 121 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,480 they narrowly just escaped. And they made it back to Earth. 122 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,200 And it's what they called even among the news media as a 123 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,320 successful failure. A success because they survived, 124 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,320 but a failure because they never reached the destination. 125 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,840 They made it home, but they never fulfilled the mission. 126 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,080 They didn't walk on the moon in that mode. 127 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,200 And that's what deliverance, some deliverance looks like 128 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,400 sometime. You didn't crash. 129 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,240 You didn't die. You, you made it back, but you 130 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,720 never made it to where you were supposed to go either. 131 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,640 Rio bums, Rio bums life and trajectory that we read of in 132 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,200 Scripture. He had a very strong start. 133 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,880 As a matter of fact, what was given to him whenever he came to 134 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,560 the place of kingship, it was uncompared with anything else of 135 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,360 another king. He inherited quite a great deal 136 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,760 of wealth of resources from his family. 137 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,640 He had a very deep rooted spiritual heritage in his life. 138 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,440 He he inherited A unified Kingdom of the 12 tribes of 139 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,800 Israel and they were a great fortified nation of all things. 140 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,440 He could tell that David was his grandfather and that Solomon was 141 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360 his father. He had a rich heritage that he 142 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,040 had inherited. And in all of this, it just 143 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,720 seems like he had it all. He's a man now, a position. 144 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,520 He's a man of power. He's a man of potential. 145 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,280 As a matter of fact, at his coronation and Shechem, the 146 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,640 people asked him to ease the heavy burden that his father 147 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,160 Solomon had placed upon them. You'll remember the story. 148 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,720 He went to get some advice from the elders, but he also got some 149 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920 advice from his peers. And he wanted to know what he 150 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,960 should do in this matter. And the, the, the advice of the 151 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,960 elders was, well, you just need to serve the people. 152 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,360 And if you will serve them, they will reciprocate. 153 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,520 They will serve you. And then he went to his peers, 154 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,200 those that were younger, and asked him what he should do. 155 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,960 And they told him, you just go and tell them that your, your 156 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,680 little finger will be thicker than your father's loins. 157 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,760 And that's just a modern day of saying it's going to get bad. 158 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,680 All right. It's going to be worse than what 159 00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,600 it was with Daddy. And as a result of that move, 160 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,240 Scripture tells us that cost him over 80 percent of the Kingdom. 161 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,000 He lost 10 tribes in that moment. 162 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,120 He was left now just with the tribes of Judah and the tribes 163 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,960 of Benjamin. And so after this nation has 164 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,400 been fractured through his leadership, the Bible seems to 165 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,440 describe that Rio Bone regrouped a little bit. 166 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,520 It it looked like he had some course correction that was 167 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,320 taking place in his life. The Bible describes that he 168 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,480 fortified cities in Judah and whatever the Levites and the 169 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,520 priests that were in the north were expelled from that vicinity 170 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640 and area. He welcomed them down into Judah 171 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,440 and Benjamin. It seems as though he's getting 172 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,240 his footing again under his legs. 173 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,120 The Bible even tells us that he, Rio Bone, walked in the way of 174 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,360 David and Solomon, his father for three years, which appeared 175 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,360 to be a comeback. He he was getting things 176 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,720 positioned right where they needed to be. 177 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,880 But once Rio Bone felt very secure. 178 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,640 The Bible says that Riabom turned away from God. 179 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,960 The first verse that we read in my text today is that when he 180 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,400 had established the Kingdom that he strengthened himself and he 181 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:05,720 forsook the law of the Lord and God allowed some consequences to 182 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,120 come into the life of Riabom God. 183 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,280 Note this, God sent Shishak, king of Egypt, to take the 184 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,040 fortified cities of Judah away from Riobomb. 185 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:25,080 He allowed that Egyptian king to make inroads into Jerusalem. 186 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,000 For that matter, the Bible describes that God sent a 187 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,400 prophet by the name of Shamaya with this message, which is 188 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,120 basically this. Hear the words of the Lord 189 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,160 Riobomb. You have forsaken me, so I'll 190 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,000 forsake you. I'll just leave you to the hands 191 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,280 of your or adversary. It all appears to have been a 192 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,040 success. What God spoke, what God sent. 193 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,440 It seems like everything is well Ria bone the Bible describes he 194 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,720 and his leaders at the moment of hearing these things. 195 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,120 They humble themselves before the Lord. 196 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,680 They humble themselves before God and contrition that the 197 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,640 Bible says that God relents but not completely. 198 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,520 He says in verse 7, I, I will not destroy them. 199 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,480 God said I will grant them some deliverance. 200 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,760 But what we must understand and what I thought about a long time 201 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,720 ago when I read this was this. We must understand that one step 202 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,360 up from total destruction is some deliverance. 203 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,640 It's not restoration. Some deliverance isn't total 204 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:46,640 ruin, no, no. But it's a divine concession 205 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:53,360 that leaves people alive to reflect, not to relax. 206 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,880 Someone say man, those two words some deliverance should haunt 207 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,920 us, not because it lacks God's mercy, but because it stopped 208 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,880 short of the full measure of his purpose. 209 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,880 It's a mercy, if you will, with a warning label. 210 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,680 It's a door that's cracked open Amen. 211 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,720 But never walked through. Some deliverance spares us off 212 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,720 times from the sword but not from the chains. 213 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,680 It keeps us alive, but it doesn't keep us Amen where we 214 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,520 need to be in our trajectory for the Lord. 215 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,640 The real danger tonight of some deliverance is this. 216 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,880 Some deliverance feels good enough to settle into. 217 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,600 After all, we could just spout I'm not what I used to be and 218 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,880 the worst didn't happen to me and the destruction was averted 219 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,040 in my life and the crisis is now past and I've lived to tell the 220 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,880 story. But living isn't the same as 221 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,880 thriving, breathing isn't the same as walking and purpose. 222 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,640 Coming out of Egypt isn't the same as entering the promise 223 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,560 because some deliverance gives you enough relief to dull the 224 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,600 urgency for the genuine change that God wants. 225 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,240 We start to tell when we get some deliverance. 226 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,760 We start to tell ourself, well, at least I'm not where I was. 227 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,640 And you stop pressing as a result. 228 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,760 You stop seeking as a result. You stop growing as a result. 229 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,200 And here's the deception that our adversary, Amen, doesn't 230 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,680 always have to destroy us. Sometimes He wants us to be 231 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,520 satisfied with just survival, just with some deliverance. 232 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,640 That's what happened to Rehoboam. 233 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,440 When Shishak came and plundered Jerusalem, God eased up his 234 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,760 hand. Amen. 235 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,680 Because they humbled themselves, Amen. 236 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,360 He gave them some deliverance. They were not destroyed 237 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,400 according to the Scripture, but verse 8 says nevertheless, Amen. 238 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,800 They were made servants unto the King of Egypt. 239 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,280 He allowed them not to be destroyed, but they would become 240 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,840 servants of Egypt. Now look now I got some of the 241 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,360 verses here to read because I think it's important in verse 9. 242 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,040 Just read with me. So she Shack king of Egypt, came 243 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,640 up against Jerusalem, took away the treasures of the House of 244 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,200 the Lord, and the treasures of the King's house. 245 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,480 He took all. He carried away also the Shields 246 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,480 of gold which Solomon had made, instead of which King Riabom 247 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,080 made Shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of 248 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,120 the chief of the guard that kept the entrance of the King's 249 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,960 house. And when the king entered into 250 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,240 the House of the Lord, the game and fetched them, meaning the 251 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,160 brass Shields now, and brought them again into the guard 252 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,000 chamber. So we have a man that's living 253 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,079 in the moment of some deliverance. 254 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,960 And the tragedy of it is this. Ria Boma learned how to function 255 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,920 as a servant to Egypt. He built, the Bible says his 256 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:32,080 golden Shields are taken, but he builds in their stead brass 257 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,440 Shields instead of gold. Shy Shack has come in. 258 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,200 He stripped the land of the treasures of the House of God 259 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,680 and even the Lord's house and the King's house, including the 260 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,040 gold shield Solomon Amen had made. 261 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,080 These weren't just military ornaments, these golden Shields. 262 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,080 They were the symbols of strength. 263 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,840 They were the symbols of honor and divine blessing, that gold 264 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,280 represent the glory and the brilliance of that Kingdom which 265 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,400 they owed unto their God. Now they were substituted with 266 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,880 something brass that still glistened, but it didn't have 267 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480 the same value that the gold had. 268 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,720 And so Riabon, what does he do? He's a servant unto Egypt. 269 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,920 He has now brazen Shields rather than golden Shields. 270 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,760 And the Bible boy basically tells us he just carries on with 271 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,160 business as usual whenever he goes out among the public. 272 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,240 And they would use to grabbed the golden Shields to go. 273 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,400 He just kept the ceremony as the ceremony was. 274 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,880 The guard still marched, they still carried Shields, although 275 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,280 they were not of the same worth as the golden Shields. 276 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,880 They still glisten. He still went through all the 277 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,840 motions and all these things, but really what he had was just 278 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,160 a imitation of the former glory. Imitation of the former glory 279 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,520 had brass instead of gold. What he was in was survival 280 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,520 mode. God had granted him just some 281 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,960 deliverance, and he was in survival mode rather than 282 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,280 victory mode. He had a form, but he had no 283 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,000 power. He was just there. 284 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,960 That's the danger that when you've been spared just enough, 285 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,240 you start even convincing yourself. 286 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,280 Sometimes that's complete restoration. 287 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:28,600 Sub deliverance causes me to talk like I'm free, to sing like 288 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,400 I'm free when deep down I know I'm not free. 289 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:39,840 Sub deliverance will cause us sometimes to to sit down on the 290 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,240 testimony that God has given us because we survived the storm. 291 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,440 But surviving the storm isn't the same as conquering the 292 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,280 storm. Hey man, sometimes we're 293 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,760 carrying brass Shields proudly, but we're forgetting that we 294 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,240 once carry gold in it. Shields. 295 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,720 Worst of all, sometimes some deliverance can make us immune 296 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:17,480 to conviction. Immune to conviction here, 297 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,120 Pastor right now. Because I wasn't destroyed this 298 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,920 time. Nothing bad happened this time. 299 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,160 I wasn't taken out this time. I didn't lose one of my children 300 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,560 this time. Just because it didn't happen 301 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,280 this time doesn't mean it won't still happen. 302 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,640 If you carry on the same way you're going. 303 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,560 Don't allow some deliverance to quell your conviction. 304 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,520 We'll count out that as bad as I used to be, I've come a long way 305 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,320 or God understands folks, you're flirting with the some division. 306 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,640 That's some that's some deliverance. 307 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,600 That's not the reason why God gave you some He didn't give you 308 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,320 for you to settle on your loyals. 309 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,560 He wants you to reflect. He wants you to consider he. 310 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,960 Hey, man, I believe it's in the book of Ecclesiastes. 311 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,120 The Bible speaks about how that there were people that had done 312 00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:18,680 wrong and evil and there was not quick judgement. 313 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,160 And as a result of that, there are other people that thought 314 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,040 we'll all do the same thing because nothing has happened to 315 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,480 these people. You know what that's is? 316 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,400 That's a misinterpretation of some deliverance. 317 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,440 He had what what ribbon really had was a treasure. 318 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,840 It's called a second chance. Yeah. 319 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:50,960 And it's dangerous. It's glorious and dangerous at 320 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,640 the same time. And all that really is based 321 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,960 upon how we react to it. Glorious and dangerous at the 322 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,280 same time. Because sub deliverance 323 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,280 sometimes can soften us about whether or not we should be 324 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,440 urgent to change anything. It's the got a little reprieve 325 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,880 so and say man, like Apollo 13, it's it's getting back to Earth 326 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,240 but never reaching the moon. It's Rhea bones still being in 327 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,200 the palace, but he's losing some gold For us. 328 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,040 Sometimes it's it's it's that we come to church. 329 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,440 We've had some deliverance. We come to church, but we never 330 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:46,600 come to God. The story on Rio Bohm is this 331 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,560 the final verdict of his life, what he did or did not do with 332 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,320 some deliverance found in verse 14? 333 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaking of Rio Bohm, he did evil because he prepared not his 334 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:11,000 heart to seek the Lord. That's the postscript on Rhea 335 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,240 Bohm's life. So much potential, so much 336 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,480 handed to him. Strong heritage, strong 337 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,600 spiritual family. And yet this is the most 338 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,520 sobering line in the story. When you viewed along everything 339 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,040 else that had been extended to him, he was spared. 340 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:40,160 But he didn't surrender. He was warned, but we see no 341 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,960 transformation. He received mercy, but it was 342 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:53,040 wasted. Nothing he did, nothing he did 343 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,840 with what was given to him. He did not seek after this 344 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,040 moment, he of of some deliverance. 345 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,400 He did not seek God intentionally, though God spared 346 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,960 a moment of total destruction. He did not. 347 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,080 He did not seek God intentionally. 348 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,840 And nothing more. Here's three of them. 349 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:17,640 He's just living in the shadows of what could have been, in the 350 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,720 shadow of wasted potential. Really. 351 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,680 Someone say Amen. He's a man that has a divided 352 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,200 heart. He's a man that has an 353 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,600 unfinished story. The Bible gives us the the the 354 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,320 the rest of his reign, as it often does with kings. 355 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,920 He says that Rio Bom reign for 17 years and his reign would end 356 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,160 in division. His reign would end in 357 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,160 vulnerability. His reign would end and he would 358 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,800 not have found really any true real peace because he did not 359 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,920 capitalize up on the little deliverance that God had given 360 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,600 him. As a matter of fact, his story 361 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,480 Amen is told even in his name. Rehoboam means he enlarges the 362 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,680 people, the very thing that identifies him. 363 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,520 Amen spoke of expansion and growth and increase, but it in 364 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,280 his reign he brought quite the opposite. 365 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,440 Instead of enlarging the Kingdom, he oversaw a Kingdom to 366 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,480 its fracturing point. Hey man, it was supposed to 367 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,600 grow. Hey man. 368 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,880 But instead it was divided. Hey man, it diminished. 369 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,160 And I'm thinking to myself, oh, Rehoboam, what you could have 370 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,160 done differently with some deliverance. 371 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,600 It didn't have to turn out like this. 372 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,080 There was a pause. There was mercy. 373 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,960 There was there was a sparing in that moment for you to take, if 374 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,920 you will, inventory and think maybe, perhaps I can go forward 375 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,760 differently than the way that I've come to this moment. 376 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,680 Because before he got to some deliverance, the Bible says he 377 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,600 was putting up, hey man, there were false idols and false 378 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,920 altars on high heels that he was giving and to God, God and God 379 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,200 gave him some deliverance, a little reprieve when he should 380 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,440 have got a heavy consequence. God wanted him to think. 381 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:15,280 God wanted him to consider not walk the same path and not I 382 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,000 gotta get real tonight. There's some of us that have 383 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,640 stepped on and trampled on over and over again the little 384 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,720 amounts of deliverance that God has given to our life. 385 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,360 He has been very kind. He's been very long-suffering. 386 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,280 He's allowed things not to happen and not take place. 387 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,120 That should have happened and should take place. 388 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,720 And it's up to us to have the right reaction to the little 389 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,080 deliverance, not to continue down that road, not to continue 390 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,920 with the things on the altar of Oscars. 391 00:26:46,120 --> 00:27:06,200 It's up to us. Some deliverance for some it's 392 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,120 just the noose around your neck even becoming less tight, but 393 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:13,480 it's still there and you got to realize in a moment the floor 394 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,520 could just go out from under you and you'd be hanging there. 395 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,120 Don't allow the loosening of the noose around your neck to cause 396 00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:23,960 you to think that this thing is over, that I don't need to try. 397 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,000 I just need a if you will get my brass shield instead of my Gold 398 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,840 1 and go through all the antics, go through all the ritual, go 399 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,640 through all the formalism of just being a church kid, a child 400 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,880 of God. No, no, no. 401 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,480 If he's giving you some deliverance, it's with purpose. 402 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,600 He wants you to succeed, not fail. 403 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,800 Hear me right now, it's the some deliverance that we get at camp 404 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,680 meeting conference when the right thing is preached in the 405 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,600 sermon just hits us just right and we have tears of contrition 406 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,760 that's falling down our face. And we're saying to ourself, 407 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:15,000 when I go home, it's going to be different, only for it not to be 408 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:27,670 different as we lived in from conference to conference and 409 00:28:27,670 --> 00:28:30,670 camp meeting to camp meeting for all of our little episodes of 410 00:28:30,670 --> 00:28:38,960 some. But we're still slaves to Egypt. 411 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,440 We're still living below the privilege of what God had in 412 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:55,760 mind. We say, well, Pastor McGinn, I'm 413 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,080 not going to hold you long. I'm preaching shorter all the 414 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:06,160 time, and I'm almost liking it. Some deliverance is better than 415 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:14,400 destruction, baby. But is it still far away from 416 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:22,560 what you were destined for? Here's what I know, Ria Bowman. 417 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,000 Those guards are always carrying these brass Shields when they 418 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:31,800 should have been gold. The longer you do that, the more 419 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,080 you'll forget what it felt like to carry gold. 420 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,520 I believe God is calling this back not to a survival mode, but 421 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:55,400 to significance. Not just I'll spare you, but 422 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:01,480 I'll restore you with the Apollo 13. 423 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,120 I'm not just I'll get you home, I'll get you to the moon type of 424 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:10,080 thing. We don't want this epitaph upon 425 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,880 our lives that they were a successful failure. 426 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:23,520 Don't settle for less than what he died to give you. 427 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:34,820 If you'll stand with me tonight. And we would gloat in a moment, 428 00:30:35,540 --> 00:30:37,620 Buddies would jab each other in the ribs. 429 00:30:39,460 --> 00:30:43,980 I got some deliverance. I know how it was. 430 00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:45,860 You know how it was when you was a kid when you got by with 431 00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:51,640 something you shouldn't have got by with, right? 432 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,080 We did it. And what that makes you want to 433 00:30:55,080 --> 00:31:00,720 do, Raven? Do it again because you got by, 434 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:09,320 do it again. Some of us are in a cycle of 435 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,480 constantly getting by and we constantly do it again. 436 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,880 And we think there's always going to be some at the 437 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,720 beginning of the deliverance, but what happens when there's 438 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:36,990 none left? Folks, I'm telling you, when I 439 00:31:36,990 --> 00:31:38,990 preach this morning, I reach for souls. 440 00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:46,430 How can how we should reach for souls in the same degree that 441 00:31:46,430 --> 00:31:50,870 that is absolute necessary. I'm telling this as a church. 442 00:31:51,390 --> 00:32:03,290 It's time to quit playing games. This hokey pokey dab with the 443 00:32:03,290 --> 00:32:08,730 Lord of putting the right foot and then taking it out and 444 00:32:08,730 --> 00:32:10,770 dependent that some deliverance is going to catch you. 445 00:32:19,090 --> 00:32:21,810 We're we're gambling with our souls. 446 00:32:22,970 --> 00:32:25,170 We're gambling with the souls of our children. 447 00:32:35,550 --> 00:32:39,030 It's all about how we react. Please understand that when God 448 00:32:39,470 --> 00:32:42,830 gives that little, He's giving you mercy. 449 00:32:45,510 --> 00:32:49,510 Pharaoh's heart. Every time that the hand was 450 00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:57,550 lifted for the plague, his heart became harder. 451 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,000 Every time. That was some deliverance. 452 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,600 That was a reprieve. That was another chance. 453 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,640 Flies come, flies go, some deliverance. 454 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,360 Hell come, hell go some deliverance. 455 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,360 Frogs come, frogs go, some deliverance. 456 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,720 All until the first born is taken from the house. 457 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,400 Every time his heart's becoming harder. 458 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,640 He knew what happens with a hard heart. 459 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,560 It gets to the place. It can't even feel the impact of 460 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,880 the choice that it's making. Can't. 461 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:49,000 It can't. It can't decipher the impact of 462 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,200 the choice because it's too hard now. 463 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,800 It doesn't matter what's going on. 464 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,960 It doesn't impress the heart, it doesn't impact the heart, it 465 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,000 doesn't affect the heart. It doesn't matter because all 466 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,640 these times we've had the wrong response to some deliverance. 467 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,199 Pastor Pool years ago preached at the First Church. 468 00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:13,080 I think it was misunderstanding the mercies of God. 469 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,440 What is that opportunity of opportunity, of some 470 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,040 deliverance, but not reacting any differently to what's been 471 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:27,639 handed to you? Bow our heads all across this, 472 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,280 folks. We can fool ourselves to be 473 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,080 carrying around Shields of brass, parading the same old 474 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:56,679 routine, same old parade. At the heart of the issue, you 475 00:34:56,679 --> 00:35:02,360 know, you know what's in your hand isn't what ought to be in 476 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,680 your hand. And there's only one way to 477 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,600 change that. You got to do something with the 478 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,440 deliverance that God has given you. 479 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,280 You got to do something with the deliverance that God has given 480 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,480 you. This is a call tonight to the 481 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,320 members of the First Apostolic Church. 482 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,840 I'm asking you, what are you going to do with the little 483 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:30,560 deliverance that God has offered you time after time after time 484 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,480 after time? I implore you tonight to lay 485 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:40,160 down the brass, come back to an altar, come back to a purpose, 486 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,480 come back to total deliverance rather than just some 487 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:51,520 deliverance. It's about how we perceive and 488 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,360 how we react to what he's given to us. 489 00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:59,920 This altar is open this evening. And Brother Mason, I know this 490 00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,800 might be a hard one to find a song for. 491 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,280 Maybe we don't need one. But nonetheless, I'm asking 492 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,880 tonight. There's danger and just getting 493 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,920 a little reprieve. There's danger and nothing 494 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,520 happening when there should have been a hard, fast consequence. 495 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:21,240 It can if you will harden you and harden your sensitivity and 496 00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:24,800 harden your heart and harden your spirit. 497 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,360 And when you would used to just whisper from God, you would be 498 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,240 so soft and crumble under the whisper of God with his voice of 499 00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:37,200 guidance. Now he can be yelling at the top 500 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,240 of his lungs and it doesn't impact you. 501 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,440 That's what happens when we repetitively refuse and react 502 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,400 wrongly to the some deliverance that he gives to our life. 503 00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:54,160 I don't want God have to yell. I don't want God have to turn, 504 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,440 if you will, the sun back in order to get my attention. 505 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,200 I I prayer that I oftentimes pray is God help me to always be 506 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:13,520 easily impressed by your spirit, easily impressed by your spirit. 507 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,600 Don't let the epitaph be up on you and your family someday. 508 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:27,720 A successful failure. Don't let the epitaph to be up 509 00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:31,800 on you and your family someday. Wasted potential. 510 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:39,440 No, no, no, no. God, I realize what you've given 511 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:45,360 to me tonight is a gift, he said. 512 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,720 I won't destroy you right now. I'll just give you some 513 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:58,640 deliverance. We got to understand my feet 514 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,440 should be standing where I'm standing right now. 515 00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:06,400 I should be a disservice experiencing what I'm 516 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,600 experiencing right now, but God has afforded me and my pitfalls 517 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,880 and my slip up some deliverance so I could reflect and respond 518 00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:23,520 accordingly. Don't like like Ria Bone did. 519 00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,640 Don't lack and prepare in your heart. 520 00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:28,760 Don't lack of preparing your heart. 521 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,880 You know what you need. It's just like a callus on the 522 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,520 hand, you know, A little boy goes out at a young age with his 523 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,360 dad to swing an axe. And boy, it hurts his hands. 524 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,720 It causes blisters to come upon them and they're tender and 525 00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:45,360 they're aching at night. But the more that little boy 526 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,640 does that, it comes in pervy. It becomes impervious to that 527 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,640 wooden handle and the sliding of it on his hands. 528 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,360 He builds up calluses of thick, thick skin where he doesn't have 529 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,880 the same impact on him as it did before. 530 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,400 And then the only way that little boy is going to be able 531 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,880 to change that if he gets some lotion or he gets some oil and 532 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,840 he rubs into those hands to make them pliable again and soften 533 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,040 them again. There may be some right here 534 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,280 tonight that need the oil. I've got spirit to touch some 535 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,280 calluses in your life and rough places in your life so that 536 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,320 you'll be sensitive to his touch and sensitive to his voice and 537 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:32,520 sensitive to his guide.
