Y'all can have a seat for long 
as you can. 

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,080
Pastor Terence, Pastor Julia, 
thank you for another 

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,680
opportunity to declare the Word 
of God, to call forth the 

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,200
blessing of heaven in our midst.
Thank you for the trust. 

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,520
And we thank you that we have 
pastors that hear God, that obey

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,640
his voice, that walk with, that 
walk with God. 

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,040
We're going to try that again. 
We grateful that we have pastors

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,600
that hear God, that obey his 
voice, that walk with God. 

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,880
How many of y'all? 
You've never really had a pastor

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,760
before until you got here, at 
least not to the depth you all 

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,160
ought to be. 
The Lord is here to show God's 

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,000
faithfulness, to give you a 
pastor, to pastor you that hears

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,360
God after his own heart. 
Come on now. 

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,960
Great is our faithfulness. 
We thank you for faithful 

23
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,080
pastors. 
Yeah, yeah. 

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,880
You need to stay right there. 
I'm just going to talk. 

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,960
Father, we thank you that we're 
talking about digging deeper 

26
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,360
today, digging deeper, digging 
deeper, digging deeper. 

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,920
Good fight of finishing faith. 
We're going to have some review,

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,080
but we're going to go deeper 
than we went last week. 

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,960
There may be some impartation, 
but it's going to be some more 

30
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,920
detail to allow you to anchor 
your faith a little bit better. 

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,320
I want to start with this God is
this comes from the word God 

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,840
gave at the beginning of the 
year. 

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,720
And Pastor reminds me, this is 
we talked about it. 

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,880
See, God is doing a lot, but 
he's not asking us to do a lot. 

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,400
There is a lot going on around 
us, but we don't have to do it. 

36
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,320
We have to behold what and trust
God as he accomplishes it. 

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,800
Pastor said at the beginning of 
the year, the most key aspect of

38
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,840
us and our church family is the 
ability to stand. 

39
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,280
But you have to understand that 
standing means standing firm. 

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,840
It doesn't mean standing still 
doing nothing. 

41
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480
There is a standing faith that 
has activity to it. 

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,080
There's a standing faith that 
has power to it. 

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,640
There's a standing faith that 
has that still is moving and 

44
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,520
activating what God is doing. 
God is calling us. 

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,080
They have a faith that stands 
firm, but not one that stands 

46
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,440
still. 
And in the midst of that, we 

47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,000
ought to have a focus singularly
on what God is called where and 

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,960
what God is called to stand on. 
What does it mean you can stand?

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Firm. 
But not standing still. 

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,000
David stood firm when he saw 
Goliath, When he ran, he stood 

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,120
firm. 
When he stood his sleep shot, he

52
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,800
stood firm. 
He stood firm. 

53
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,120
But he didn't stand still. 
Doing nothing. 

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,920
The call to stand is not an 
excuse to disconnect, to back 

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,160
up, to lay down, to get a 
lukewarm face, to sit back and 

56
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,360
expect God to do what He's 
calling you, to partner with Him

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:27,800
in. 
Hey man, we want to finish up 

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560
this evening. 
In our experience, we talked 

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,080
about a lot this morning, but we
want to go straight to a part we

60
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:42,000
wanted to finish up see this, 
I'll do a little bit of review. 

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Since God is training a 
generation to finish, they have 

62
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,680
strong hearts that won't fail 
when facing generation or 

63
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,760
defining increased threats and 
difficulties. 

64
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,040
The increase is in addition from
the last time I shared this word

65
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,760
because God is going to release 
great increase in this time to 

66
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,920
accomplish his purpose. 
He's releasing great in increase

67
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,200
to carry you over the 
difficulties that we will face. 

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,040
In much the same way, God told 
Joseph there'll be seven years 

69
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,400
of blessing and then seven years
of famine. 

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,400
Let your blessing prepare you 
to. 

71
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,880
Keep you in your. 
Famine so you we need the wisdom

72
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,480
to steward the increase when 
we're faced with it and it's 

73
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,959
going to be generational 
increase, something we haven't 

74
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:23,760
seen. 
And why is it important to 

75
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
understand that? 
Because when you receive money 

76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,120
like you've never had, you tend 
to get complacent. 

77
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:33,160
You tend to forget God, you tend
to lose your priorities, and all

78
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,320
of a sudden you begin to spin on
all of the hidden desires of 

79
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,480
your flesh that you hadn't 
checked. 

80
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,880
It was just buried because you 
didn't have the money to do it. 

81
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,480
Now that you got the the 
resource, now all of your 

82
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,960
desires become begin to come up 
and what you find is the 

83
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,920
resource God gave you for His 
purpose. 

84
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,480
Begin squandered on what you 
desired, not for what God sent 

85
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,000
it for you for you to do. 
You're going to, it's going to 

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,840
take, it's going to. 
Take a lot of faith to walk with

87
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,880
God in the midst of the 
increases, wells of threats and 

88
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,000
difficulties. 
Knowing God is not is necessary,

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,920
but not enough. 
Though Jesus is enough, knowing 

90
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,080
him is not enough. 
Knowing is a means by which we 

91
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,840
connect with Him. 
Knowing God is not is necessary 

92
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,800
but not enough. 
Want to make that clear from the

93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080
last time. 
I'm not saying you don't have to

94
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,120
know God. 
I'm saying it's necessary but 

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,160
not enough. 
Loving God is necessary but not 

96
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,880
enough. 
Signs and wonders are necessary 

97
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,040
but not enough. 
And showing up is necessary but 

98
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,600
not enough. 
Doing your part is necessary. 

99
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,080
Doing your part is necessary but
not enough. 

100
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,720
Praying is necessary, but it's 
not enough. 

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,160
Community is necessary but not 
enough money. 

102
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,280
Times. 
When people talk about 

103
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:02,520
community, what they mean is a 
group of people that I can that 

104
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,640
can serve me. 
I want a group that will help me

105
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,160
feel good about me. 
I want a group that will help me

106
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,320
do the things I like to do and 
help cultivate my interests and 

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,080
help eat at the places where I 
want to eat. 

108
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,320
It's very rare that people look 
at commute. 

109
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,920
Community is a place. 
That I can serve with purpose. 

110
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,720
God give me a group of people 
who I can pull my life out upon 

111
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,440
in service to them, even if 
nothing comes back. 

112
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,240
Most folks consider that to be 
slavery or bondage, not 

113
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,760
community. 
The word community comes from 

114
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,320
the roots. 
Common unity. 

115
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Common unity around the purpose.
So if you're thinking about 

116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,200
community as being something 
that serves me and my emotions 

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,840
and my loneliness. 
So you're missing the whole 

118
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,400
point of community to begin 
with. 

119
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,080
But even community and its best 
is not enough. 

120
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,160
Worshipping is necessary, but 
not enough. 

121
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,320
You must have a finishing faith.
Jesus was at the wedding of 

122
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,000
Canaan. 
He was there at the wedding but 

123
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,280
they still ran out of wine. 
Him being there wasn't enough. 

124
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,760
The people were asked to feel 
the with water and they did so 

125
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,280
with excellence. 
It was their finishing faith to 

126
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,400
do with excellence that 
triggered the miracle. 

127
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,920
Not just Jesus being there. 
Jesus was there, His disciples 

128
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,760
was there, and his Mama was 
there. 

129
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,360
You need to. 
Have a finishing faith, All of 

130
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,320
those things that I declared. 
Were not enough. 

131
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Were ways that we activate 
mature engage the Lord in what 

132
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,280
He's called us to do present 
there. 

133
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,000
It's all powerful. 
Jesus said this to one person 

134
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,120
who was blind or sick. 
He said what do you want from 

135
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,120
me. 
He still had to say I want to be

136
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,040
healed. 
It wasn't until his face cried 

137
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,720
out to finish the thing that was
binding his body that all of a 

138
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,520
sudden the healing flow though 
Jesus was present and asked the 

139
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,120
question Are you ready. 
The Bible says God knows what's 

140
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,280
on our hearts before we ask. 
So God already knew what was on 

141
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,760
his heart before he asked. 
But him knowing what was on his 

142
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360
heart before he asked was still 
not enough. 

143
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520
He had to have a faith that 
cried out to finish this 

144
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,880
sickness of my body, and God 
responded in that regard. 

145
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,920
A finishing faith rejects time 
pressure. 

146
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,800
We're developing that a little 
bit. 

147
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,000
A faith will fight time. 
Time tries to induce fear and 

148
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,400
shortage. 
And many times we will put time 

149
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,159
pressure in our faith at the 
beginning in a subtle fashion. 

150
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,000
OK, so you can diagnose with a 
sniffle. 

151
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,360
Do you believe God can heal 
that? 

152
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Yeah, I do. 
OK, let's keep it down. 

153
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,400
Yeah, I do. 
You know why? 

154
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,160
Because sniffle is going to take
5. 

155
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,000
Years to turn into cancer. 
I got time. 

156
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,000
So Can you believe Jesus can 
heal? 

157
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Stage eight start cancer. 
I don't know. 

158
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,480
We have enough time. 
It's subtly laid in there, this 

159
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,040
idea of time when we believe God
OK by finishing faith resists 

160
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,240
pressure for time. 
God is not bound by time. 

161
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,240
He created time. 
God can do whatever he wants to 

162
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,560
do, how he wants to do it. 
He's not limited in that regard.

163
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,600
And what time pressure comes to 
do is to get people into fear. 

164
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,600
Time is designed to do that. 
The Bible declares that the 

165
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,000
enemy knows his time is running 
out. 

166
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,960
God put a clock on him so he 
would know your time is coming 

167
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,360
up. 
And in seeing his time is up, 

168
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,080
he's getting so greatly afraid. 
He's trying to pull out all the 

169
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,640
stops, trying to deceive the 
very elect because he knows his 

170
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,320
time is running out. 
So time is designed to in some 

171
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,720
ways to create a sense of fear 
and urgency they lack. 

172
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,680
I'm going to not have enough at 
some point. 

173
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,640
A faith that finishes. 
Resist time pressure. 

174
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,200
I don't care if there's .3 
seconds left on the clock. 

175
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,920
It don't matter to me. 
I'm not. 

176
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,840
I'm trying to get a 5 point lead
because I don't have to go down 

177
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,920
to a last second shot. 
It doesn't matter to me. 

178
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,200
I'll play 8 overtimes. 
It doesn't matter to me. 

179
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,160
A finishing faith rejects time 
pressure. 

180
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,280
Jesus with Lazarus, they came 
and told him. 

181
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,480
Lazarus, the one whom you loved,
is sick. 

182
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,040
He stayed there two more days. 
Lazarus died. 

183
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Jesus was deciding to follow God
more than succumb to the 

184
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,000
pressure of time, and one of the
things time does is try to 

185
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,600
challenge your love for God. 
God, I'm running out of time. 

186
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,520
If you loved me, you would do 
it. 

187
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,680
God, I'm running out of time. 
I thought you loved me enough, 

188
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,320
God. 
And these are things we don't 

189
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,920
ever say, but can be sown as 
seeds in our hearts because 

190
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,440
we've only known a love that's 
been conditional before we've 

191
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:05,040
come to the love of God. 
Jesus was impervious to that and

192
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,400
was working the greatest 
strategy. 

193
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,120
He stayed two days while he 
said, I'm not going to let time 

194
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,680
pressure, he interrupt my 
finishing faith. 

195
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,120
And at the end of it he went 
Lazarus got healed and raised up

196
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,200
from the dead. 
In Joshua chapter 10, it says 

197
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,680
this. 
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on

198
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:27,440
the day when the Lord gave the 
amber rights over to the 

199
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Israelites. 
And he said, in the sight of 

200
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:36,720
Israel sun, be silent and stand 
still at Gibeon, and you moon in

201
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,120
the valley of Angelon. 
He's. 

202
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaking the time time you want 
to serve me, time will not run 

203
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,960
out until I win. 
I'm going to finish and I will 

204
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,840
finish in faith and I shall see 
the promise of God brought the 

205
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,440
past. 
I will see for those that are 

206
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,080
for my life. 
I will see it in my life for 

207
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,760
those that are for the next 
generation. 

208
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,880
I will see it at a distance and 
I won't wave it and by I'll wave

209
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,560
it. 
Come on, I'm checking out. 

210
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,080
But you still got to keep 
coming. 

211
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,800
And the 1st 13 says this, he 
spoke. 

212
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,640
Now notice it doesn't say God 
told him to say this. 

213
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,480
A finishing faith understands 
the character of a finishing 

214
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,400
God, and from that relationship 
he speaks the heart of God to 

215
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,480
finish. 
And the sun stood still, and the

216
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:47,960
moon stayed at whose command? 
At God's command, Joshua's 

217
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,760
command. 
God is like, why you want me to 

218
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,360
talk when your mouth is 
sufficient? 

219
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Stop asking me to do your job. 
You command your space, you 

220
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,520
command your time, you command 
your destiny, you command your 

221
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,720
context. 
I'll back it up. 

222
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,280
After all, you, my son, as a 
father plays catch, will stand 

223
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,600
behind his son. 
When the son or the daughter's 

224
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,840
playing catch, it is right 
there. 

225
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,280
The father will say don't worry,
I got you backed up the ball. 

226
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,160
Not going to get away. 
I got you. 

227
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,080
You commanded and stood still. 
The moon stayed until the nation

228
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,520
took vengeance upon their 
enemies. 

229
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,480
It stood still till I finished 
conquering all that the enemy 

230
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960
sent against me. 
It stood still till I finished 

231
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,160
delivering my people. 
It stood still to all of me was 

232
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,600
done. 
Everyone was healed, everyone 

233
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,600
was safe, everyone was 
delivered. 

234
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,880
Not just written in the Book of 
Jasher. 

235
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,880
Out of the amount of two or 
three witnesses. 

236
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,320
That's what's been written in 
the book. 

237
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,120
We already know that, right? 
So the Son stood still in the 

238
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,240
midst of the heavens, and did 
not hasten to go down for about 

239
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,560
a whole day. 
When you command time, he gives 

240
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:05,080
a testimony of God's eternal 
power and weight. 

241
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,080
There was no day like it before 
or since. 

242
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,440
People are still talking about 
it. 

243
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,800
How you know I'm talking about 
it today when the Lord. 

244
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,000
Heeded the voice of a man for 
the Lord. 

245
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,400
Fought for Israel, Hughes need 
to have a finishing faith. 

246
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,960
I mentioned before the Kingdom 
of God's looking to see if you 

247
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,200
going to finish. 
So they're looking for you to 

248
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,960
speak. 
How are you going to speak? 

249
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,000
How are you going to talk? 
Do you really know who you are, 

250
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,600
who you are, and who we are 
together in this? 

251
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,520
He hated the voice of a man to 
stop time. 

252
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,560
Where's the boldness, the bold 
sacrifice to say that? 

253
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,920
Where's the bold sacrifice? 
No more people shall die from 

254
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,840
this until we get a hold of it. 
Where's the boldness to declare 

255
00:14:54,120 --> 00:15:01,800
like what God has said here? 
If that's not enough for you, I 

256
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:08,160
want to take you to a headline. 
October 30th, 2017 Joshua stop 

257
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:18,200
the Sun 3224 years ago today 
scientists say this is the. 

258
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,320
Power of God's ability to 
command time. 

259
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,160
Now I've been talking about 
manipulating time. 

260
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,440
Well, God move all the traffic 
so I can hurry up to my lunch 

261
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,000
date. 
Why are you going to waste your 

262
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,040
power on that? 
You really going? 

263
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,200
You going to waste that on that?
I'm not saying it don't matter 

264
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,240
to God, but gain some patience. 
Leave earlier. 

265
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,640
Why are you going to waste it on
that? 

266
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,200
You don't use it for anything 
else more significant. 

267
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,960
Scientists say this is an 
article from the Times of 

268
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,680
Israel. 
It's by David Sedley, October 

269
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,960
30th. 
It says this Cambridge residuals

270
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880
that just shows you how smart 
they are, right Cambridge? 

271
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,000
Researchers announced declared 
Monday that they have pinpointed

272
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,440
the date of the biblical account
of Joshua stopping the sun. 

273
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,000
You don't say of God stopping 
the sun for Joshua. 

274
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,000
They pinpointed the date when 
man spoke out of faith and trust

275
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,160
is saying I'm going to finish 
what God called me to do and 

276
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,560
time is not going to pressure me
out of it. 

277
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,080
Claim was the day the oldest 
eclipse ever recorded. 

278
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,960
In a paper published in the 
Royal Astronomical Society 

279
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,960
Journal of Astronomy and 
Geophysics researchers explained

280
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,040
that what they were consequently
also able to refine the dates of

281
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,480
of the reigns of two Egyptian 
Pharaohs of that era. 

282
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,640
So Joshua was commanding the 
time in that day reset the 

283
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:58,040
destinies of two kingdoms. 
Don't let faith, Don't let time 

284
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,400
pressure you out of finishing in
faith. 

285
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,040
Unless your God's name is clock,
you shouldn't be concerned about

286
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,599
what the clock going to do to 
your promise. 

287
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,720
And if your God's name is clock,
you got a poor God. 

288
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,119
First Samuel says this when the 
men of Israel saw that. 

289
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,160
They were in a tight situation, 
time pressure. 

290
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,880
When they saw visual 
circumstance, they were in a 

291
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,840
tight situation, for the troops 
were hard pressed. 

292
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,600
They hid in caves and holes and 
rocks and dunes and pits or 

293
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,680
sisters. 
The very places where they 

294
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,120
poured Joseph to die, they're 
willingly going to hide in 

295
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,800
because of time pressure trying 
to get them to stop finishing 

296
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,320
their faith. 
Some Hebrews had gone over to 

297
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,160
Jordan, to the land of Gad and 
Gilead. 

298
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,840
As for Saul, he was still in 
Gilgal, and all the people 

299
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,400
followed him, trembling. 
This fear of time is pressuring 

300
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:06,440
the entire Kingdom. 
Saul waited seven days according

301
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,120
to the set time. 
Samuel had appointed to offer a 

302
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,600
sacrifice. 
But Samuel had not come. 

303
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,400
He waited. 
He told me seven days, Samuel. 

304
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:30,840
He waited, but he had not come. 
See, when you are resisting time

305
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:37,920
pressure, you think differently.
What you think is, oh, not that 

306
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,080
he's not going to come. 
What you think of is like, oh, 

307
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,280
he may be on the way to my house
to heal my daughter. 

308
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,960
He may have stopped to heal 
somebody else because he has 

309
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,640
more than enough power and more 
than enough time. 

310
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:57,720
I'm good, he said. 
Saul, wait. 

311
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,240
But Samuel had not come. 
And so Saul offered the burnt 

312
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:07,240
offering, which he was forbidden
to do, ready time pressure, and 

313
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:12,600
just as he. 
Finish offering the burnt 

314
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:20,200
offering Behold, Samuel Cain 
just. 

315
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,400
As he. 
Finished behold Samuel Cain. 

316
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:32,240
He was seconds away from 
finishing but let the pressure 

317
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,960
of time. 
Let's focus on what people were 

318
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,840
saying. 
Let's focus on people's hearts. 

319
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,760
Fainting let's focus on the 
threats of what people were 

320
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,240
supposed to be and what was 
going on. 

321
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,200
You got to have a finishing 
faith. 

322
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,880
I think it's important to note 
now I'm just going to say this 

323
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,840
out of my. 
Spirit, I didn't check this, but

324
00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:01,040
I believe probably at this point
David has already killed 

325
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Goliath. 
What did I say? 

326
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,240
Who did I say? 
Killed. 

327
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,800
Goliath. 
David finished. 

328
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,280
Saul didn't. 
Maybe. 

329
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,600
Saul Sayed and seized the 
opportunity to finish in faith 

330
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,000
Goliath. 
Is why he's succumbing to 

331
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720
pressure from time to not finish
now. 

332
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,760
God is building you testimonies 
to finish, just like He's using 

333
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,640
this remnant project to give us 
a finishing faith. 

334
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,000
Verse 12 says this. 
I thought the Philistines will 

335
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,800
come down now upon me. 
Think about that. 

336
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,480
Time fear pressure, and time 
pressure is always selfish. 

337
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,200
What does it say? 
I thought the Philistines will 

338
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:58,480
come down now upon me. 
Not my people, not your people. 

339
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,400
I thought they want to come down
upon me and I have have not made

340
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,560
supplication to the Lord, so I 
first forced myself to offer a 

341
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,360
burnt. 
Offering. 

342
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,040
I made-up my mind that I was 
going to do what I needed to do 

343
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,120
anyway. 
I made-up my mind. 

344
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,880
I was going to stop listening to
what God has said. 

345
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,240
I made-up my mind. 
I was going to stop trusting 

346
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,400
God. 
I made-up my mind that I had to 

347
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,560
do what I was going to need to 
do. 

348
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,760
And Lucky says there, you have 
to convince yourself of that. 

349
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,000
You never time never cancels 
your faith unless you've 

350
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,800
convinced yourself of that. 
The only way time cancels your 

351
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,880
faith is if you've convinced 
yourself. 

352
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,600
I have no more time. 
It's over what you have to say 

353
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,040
about the matter to yourself, 
Will. 

354
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Determine time's. 
Ability to put pressure. 

355
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,160
On you and. 
You have to resist that 

356
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:57,960
pressure. 
And it says in verse 13 and 

357
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Samuel said to Saul, you have 
done foolishly, you have not 

358
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,480
kept the commandment of the Lord
your God which he commanded you.

359
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,960
For the Lord. 
Would have established your 

360
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,320
Kingdom over Israel forever, but
now? 

361
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,560
Your. 
Kingdom shall not continue 

362
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:25,160
because He let time stop him. 
From finishing the difference 

363
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,600
between a forever. 
Kingdom and it ends today was 3 

364
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,400
seconds of time pressure that 
kept him from waiting until 

365
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,880
Samuel got there to finish. 
Maybe just on the other side of 

366
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,160
your standing firm but not 
still. 

367
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,840
How do you stand Further but not
still I stand. 

368
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,040
Firm God I trust you. 
God I believe. 

369
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,760
Your word God, I believe. 
Maybe sending your word to me. 

370
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,720
God, you told me not to offer, 
so I'll not offer. 

371
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,680
If it cost me my Kingdom, I'm 
going to be found standing in 

372
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,840
faith. 
Haven't trusted you. 1st is me 

373
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,440
creating my own solution, my own
Kingdom, Thy Kingdom. 

374
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,600
My Kingdom versus thy Kingdom. 
But now your Kingdom should not 

375
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,600
continue. 
The Lord has sought out David, a

376
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,760
man after his own heart, and the
Lord has commanded him to be 

377
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,320
Prince and ruler over his 
people. 

378
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Because you have not kept what 
the Lord commanded you. 

379
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,840
It was so much bigger than just 
whether you offered sacrifice. 

380
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,480
Is that you? 
Did you trust me for the nation?

381
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,720
Did you trust me that I was big 
enough and I cared enough and I 

382
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,640
loved the nation enough to still
answer even though in your view 

383
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:47,920
time was running out? 
Faith that finishes does not 

384
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,440
give in to time pressure. 
It resists time pressure, and 

385
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,960
you have to resist it. 
If you are not actively 

386
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,680
resisting time pressure, time is
already putting pressure on your

387
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:06,800
faith. 
We live in an earth of time, so 

388
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,800
time is always putting pressure 
on your faith. 

389
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,800
So unless you are resisting it, 
it will eat away at your ability

390
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,320
to finish. 
You know who got that kind of 

391
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,000
sense? 
Kids in the backyard. 

392
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,440
This is my kid in the stands, 
right? 

393
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,320
Yeah. 
Here I am. 

394
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,760
I got the basketball. 
Betty, how many kids do this? 

395
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:38,000
5. 4321 Boom. 
Championship. 

396
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,080
What's a kid doing? 
He's telling time. 

397
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:43,200
You better back off. 
Me, I'm practicing resisting 

398
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,120
time pressure. 
Kids got enough sense and 

399
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:50,720
delight to do that. 
They practice those moments. 

400
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,960
How much more should we practice
those moments? 

401
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,480
Pick an opportunity to stand 
with the finishing fake stance 

402
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,920
and resisting time. 
All those folks that want to be 

403
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,800
married resist time pressure. 
All those folks that thought I'd

404
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,040
have it by now, resist time 
pressure. 

405
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,280
All those folks that thought my 
ministry would be this 

406
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,760
recipient, active and resisting 
time pressure. 

407
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,280
How you do it, Praise, 
Thanksgiving, prayer, worship, 

408
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,040
testimony of what God has done. 
That puts pressure on the 

409
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,160
pressure. 
Another pop series. 

410
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,920
Praise on your pressure. 
Anyway, A finishing faith 

411
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,720
understands the nature of the 
race, so he can finish each 

412
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,880
phase of the race. 
You have to understand the race 

413
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,160
you're running, OK? 
You have to understand. 

414
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,960
It because there's phases to the
race and you not only have to 

415
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,560
finish and if I finish each 
phase. 

416
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,080
Then I will. 
Finish the race if I understand 

417
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,760
the phases. 
And I'm focused on finishing 

418
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,720
knows I will. 
Finish the course. 

419
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,120
OK, so if I understand the 
nature of the race, so you can 

420
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,360
finish each phase. 
Mark four says this. 

421
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,200
The earth produces acting by 
itself. 

422
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,440
First the blade, then the ear, 
then the full grain in the ear. 

423
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,440
See each of those stages, you 
got to finish each stage. 

424
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,240
You got to have finishing phase 
for each stage, a finishing 

425
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,960
phase says God, I don't want to 
leave this stage until we're 

426
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,800
finished. 
So I'm not coming back once I'm 

427
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,720
out, moving forward to the next 
place you have for me. 

428
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,560
So God, I'd rather spend more 
time here finishing than seeking

429
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,640
to escape from it because I'm 
tired of doing the work, 

430
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,200
finishing each phase in a 
Sprint. 

431
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:56,080
We're in Olympics. 
See my French colors So, so my 

432
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,320
wife said that's USA colors. 
No, it's not stripes. 

433
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,840
There's no stripes. 
It's block colors. 

434
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:07,960
That's the French flag anyway. 
So in 100m race there's faces. 

435
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,240
There's the start phase, finish 
the start phase, get out of the 

436
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,520
blocks well. 
Then there is the transition 

437
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,280
phase. 
When you go from bowed over to 

438
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,160
more of a upright position, when
you begin to get your feet 

439
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,080
underneath you a transition 
phase, then you got what you 

440
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,960
call an acceleration phase or a 
top end phase. 

441
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,160
OK, you got to know the 
different phases because what it

442
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,360
takes to finish in this phase is
different than what it takes to 

443
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:40,400
finish in that phase. 
In this phase you're starting 

444
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,040
bowed over. 
In this phase you ought to be 

445
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,320
upright. 
If you try to finish this phase 

446
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,480
at the start upright, you will 
blow the phase and therefore 

447
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,920
blow the race. 
How you to finish each phase can

448
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,320
change. 
Coaches will say things like 

449
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,600
let's win the end of the quarter
so we can have momentum going 

450
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,000
into the next quarter. 
Let's win the end of the half so

451
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,280
we can have momentum coming out 
of the half time. 

452
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,120
You have to understand the 
phases of your race. 

453
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,360
You need revelation of that need
God to speak to you about that. 

454
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,000
So you can have a finishing 
faith for each phase because 

455
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,240
what it takes to finish each 
phase we can differ. 

456
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,000
We said a finishing faith fully 
commits with consistency. 

457
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:36,000
One I want to really drive home 
because a finishing faith fully 

458
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,760
commits to the word with 
consistency. 

459
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,120
We're digging deeper here. 
Deuteronomy 6 says this and you 

460
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,080
should love the Lord your God 
with all your. 

461
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,120
Mind and heart and your entire 
being, and with all your might, 

462
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,160
stop. 
Is that enough? 

463
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,880
The scripture shows you that's 
not enough, otherwise I'd stop 

464
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,320
there. 
But what does it say? 

465
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,400
And these words which I'm 
commanding you shall be on your 

466
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,280
minds and your hearts. 
You shall wet and sharpen. 

467
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,760
Them so as to make them 
penetrate and teach and. 

468
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,920
Impress them diligently. 
That's a full commitment with 

469
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,240
consistency. 
Upon the minds and hearts of 

470
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,680
your children. 
Why does he say you need to? 

471
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,440
Teach these to your children 
because your children ain't 

472
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:30,920
hypocrites, not that you are. 
Your children would say why, and

473
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,640
then you need to have an answer 
for why. 

474
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,600
Children would challenge you. 
You would challenge the depth to

475
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,200
which you believe something. 
They would challenge your 

476
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,520
understanding, your revelation 
about what you believe. 

477
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,040
And when you get to the point of
saying why, you say because I 

478
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,320
said so. 
You've just set your children up

479
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,640
to fail. 
It's. 

480
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,880
Better to say I don't know why 
it's all I have. 

481
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,640
Then let us seek God together 
and see what He says to answer 

482
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,600
the rest of your wives. 
That's a better position of 

483
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,960
success. 
You shall and you shall talk of 

484
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,040
them when you sit in your house 
and when you. 

485
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Walk, by the way. 
And when you lie down and when 

486
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,640
you rise up. 
When you do your. 

487
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,400
Word in the morning you miss him
most. 

488
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,680
Of the day, how much is the word
of? 

489
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,120
God on your lips. 
How much is the word of God in 

490
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,960
your heart? 
God so wants us to be fully 

491
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,000
committed to this word always. 
He gives us an example in 

492
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,440
Abraham. 
Abraham's name. 

493
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,200
Abraham's name was Abraham. 
He changed it to Abraham, which 

494
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,240
means Father many nations. 
That means literally when 

495
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,960
everybody saw Father many 
nations. 

496
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,200
What's up? 
Every way he went, every part of

497
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,880
the day, when they called his 
name, they were given testimony 

498
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400
to God's promise. 
He was remembering the word that

499
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,000
God had. 
Given them Now imagine that when

500
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,320
your body is 79, no kid Abraham 
father many nations. 

501
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Body 80 no kid Abraham father 
many nations and all of that 

502
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,680
keeps coming back to you. 
That's where he was able to have

503
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,800
the faith to stand and do what 
God needed him to do because he 

504
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,840
committed himself to the word so
much. 

505
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,840
He made the word his name. 
You couldn't separate his 

506
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,160
identity from the. 
Word. 

507
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,000
If you want to know who I am, 
look at the word God gave me. 

508
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:22,320
That's who I am. 
You commit to the Word with 

509
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:27,440
consistency. 
In Psalm 138 it says this. 

510
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,520
I will confess and praise You, O
God, with my whole heart before 

511
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,280
the gods. 
I will sing praises to you. 

512
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,680
I will worship towards Your holy
temple and praise Your name for 

513
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,720
your loving kindness and for 
Your faithfulness. 

514
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,000
For You have exalted above all 
else. 

515
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,760
Your name and your word and you 
have magnified your word above 

516
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,240
your name. 
This is what he's saying here. 

517
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,720
God, you've demonstrated to me 
that your word is so, so 

518
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,080
connected to your identity that 
for you to break your word would

519
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:04,120
mean for you to break you. 
That's how powerful God's word 

520
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,560
is. 
That's that's why God, you can 

521
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,760
commit to it. 
That's why the more you fully 

522
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,640
commit to God's word with 
consistency, you wouldn't what 

523
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,600
you're doing, You're not 
committing to a sentence, you're

524
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600
not committing to a phrase. 
You're committing to a person 

525
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,360
and a belief that he is 
everything that you're saying, 

526
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,400
everything that you're studying.
You're committed to identity of 

527
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,040
your Father being good and being
gracious and looking after you. 

528
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,720
You're committed to it in such a
way that no one can whip it out 

529
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,560
of you, beat it out of you, 
shake it out of you. 

530
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,480
You're committed to it in such a
way that. 

531
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:41,960
If you standing on the corner as
a kid and and it's long past the

532
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,800
time for someone to pick you up.
They say, do we need to take you

533
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:46,920
something? 
No, I'm standing here. 

534
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,560
Why? 
Because my father's coming to 

535
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,880
get me. 
How do you know? 

536
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,560
Because it seems like the time 
has passed. 

537
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,960
I'm not basing it on time. 
I'm basing it on my relationship

538
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,640
with him, on who he is. 
You will never leave me. 

539
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,320
You will never forsake me. 
You will never abandoned me. 

540
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,800
To be fully committed to the 
words, to be fully committed to 

541
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,240
who God is, because God has put 
his identity in his Word. 

542
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,680
And when you doubt the Word, you
doubt him. 

543
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,280
When you hold the word short, 
you hold him short. 

544
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,480
When you believe the word don't 
work, you believe and then he 

545
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,400
doesn't. 
And be watchful of those small 

546
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,440
cheats. 
Most people in this room won't 

547
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,240
say. 
I don't believe the word of God 

548
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:28,880
doesn't. 
Work. 

549
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,680
They was diluted down to 80%. 
They won't say God, no, you 

550
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,920
won't do it. 
They'll say, well, God, I 

551
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:47,120
believe you'll do it, but if you
don't, but if you don't do it 

552
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,520
all, I'll take this. 
You water it down. 

553
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,880
That's like saying my daddy's 
faithful sometimes on a Tuesday 

554
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:08,080
after six. 
Glory to God, you got to be 

555
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,120
fully committed. 
A faith that finishes fully 

556
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,560
commits to being discipled with 
consistency. 

557
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,600
Everyone say being discipled. 
Mentorship is different than 

558
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,800
discipleship. 
Most people come to church 

559
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,000
wanting to get mentored or 
inspired. 

560
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,920
What is the difference? 
Between mentorship and 

561
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,080
discipleship, mentorship means I
come to. 

562
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,639
You to resource. 
Me from my agenda, mentor me and

563
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:43,440
how to do my business better, 
mentor me and how to accomplish 

564
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,600
XYZ better. 
I set the agenda, identify who I

565
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,639
want to mentor me and I'm. 
There to get from them what I 

566
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:53,840
need to become them or to 
accomplish my goal of my task. 

567
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,640
OK, discipleship is I'm giving 
myself to you. 

568
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,280
Leave me where you need to teach
me. 

569
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,800
Leave me where you need me to 
go. 

570
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,680
I want to be the best ever. 
So teach me how to eat. 

571
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:09,440
Teach me how to breathe. 
Let me partake of your life. 

572
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,600
Let me see your thoughts. 
Let me submit to your 

573
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,000
accountability. 
You have the right to speak into

574
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,400
my life in any way. 
And I present it to you for you 

575
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,680
to do that. 
That's discipleship. 

576
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,840
It's not about my agenda, it's 
about what you see and your 

577
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,480
ability to bring God's best out 
of me, not based on what I know,

578
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,520
what I want. 
I don't want my timetable. 

579
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,080
Are you committed to being 
disciple or do you want managed 

580
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,360
mentorship? 
Do you want bucks? 

581
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,520
Do you want better lifestyle? 
Do you want stuff? 

582
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,880
From the Kingdom. 
You have to ask yourself, how 

583
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,760
can you keep coming to church 
and not wanting to be disciple? 

584
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,000
What kind of transactional 
relationship is that? 

585
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,480
No, all I need is what I is, is 
that little message I get. 

586
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,080
All I need is that I don't need 
relationship. 

587
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,800
When you fall, who's going to 
pick you up? 

588
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:01,000
Who's going to teach you how to 
get up? 

589
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,120
When you fall, when nobody's 
around, discipleship is come and

590
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,520
follow me, come and live with 
me, come and walk with me. 

591
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,720
The power of discipleship is 
that it multiplies your 

592
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:19,560
effectiveness in your call. 
Elijah said to Elijah, I'm 

593
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,520
getting ready, you know the 
part, what you want. 

594
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,280
He said this. 
I think, I believe he said it 

595
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,960
this. 
What do you want from me while I

596
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,160
am still with you, you won't 
always have time and opportunity

597
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,240
to be disciple by some people. 
Take advantage of it. 

598
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:37,600
He said I want a double portion 
of what you got. 

599
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,960
Double faith, double prayer, 
double power, double anointing. 

600
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,520
I want a double portion of what 
you got. 

601
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,320
Elijah said, OK, cool. 
Now notice God. 

602
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,240
He doesn't say. 
God told Elijah to say this, but

603
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,280
this is the relationship. 
He said, all right, Elijah, this

604
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:57,520
is what you do. 
If you see me caught up, see me 

605
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,440
leave. 
It was time to go. 

606
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,520
You'll get a double portion. 
Elijah said, OK, cool. 

607
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,640
Next day, I'm paraphrasing to 
kind of shorten it. 

608
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,920
Next day Elijah says, hey 
Elijah, why don't you go give me

609
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:15,320
a sandwich, OK. 
Mentorship says no problem, I 

610
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,160
get your sandwich, you come 
back. 

611
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,680
Discipleship says I'm not 
leaving your side. 

612
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,520
Either we go get the sandwich 
together or we just eat what we 

613
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,960
got. 
I'm not going to leave your 

614
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,440
proximity. 
I'm not going to leave your 

615
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,360
life, I'm not going to leave 
your side. 

616
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,040
That's discipleship. 
And when Elijah got caught up, 

617
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,120
he cut and Elijah gave him a 
couple times to leave and every 

618
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,680
time he said, no, I'll not 
leave. 

619
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,160
And Elijah did get caught up and
then his cloak for his mantle 

620
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,080
fail and he grabbed a hold of it
and he said, take me to the God 

621
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,160
of Elijah, let me serve him. 
And he did twice the anointing. 

622
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,760
Discipleship increases your 
capacity geometrically. 

623
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,120
It multiplies your effectiveness
and your ability. 

624
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,840
Mentorship only gets you 
information. 

625
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,000
Discipleship gets you. 
Impartation gets you. 

626
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,200
Activation gets you a sense of 
the purpose and the call of God.

627
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,600
That's why if they say athletes,
they call them dogs. 

628
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,880
Folks that have grit. 
And determination on how to 

629
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,000
finish. 
That's why players want to play 

630
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,960
with dogs. 
Why? 

631
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,720
Because I get something about a 
dog in me when I play with you. 

632
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,160
I get a. 
Determination. 

633
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,400
I get the subtleties of the game
and how to fight and how to win.

634
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,560
I get the mindset. 
I watch what you say. 

635
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,360
Watch what you eat. 
Watch how you practice. 

636
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,000
Watch how you recover. 
Watch how you rest. 

637
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,280
Watch how you say no. 
If you ask. 

638
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,200
Me to mentor you. 
You will never ask me, but I'll 

639
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,920
never. 
Many times you want to be as 

640
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,080
concerned about my nose as my 
yeses. 

641
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,960
You're trying to get a yes? 
From me, not how I say my nose. 

642
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,640
And sometimes my nose have more 
to do with my outcome than my 

643
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,640
yeses. 
Do If you serve one God, that 

644
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,680
means you're going to. 
Be saying no to more things that

645
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:00,400
you say yes to. 
Mentorship is different than 

646
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:13,400
discipleship should be that van.
And then I want to go to one 

647
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,760
other component to kind of go a 
little deeper on this. 

648
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,440
This is the finishing faith. 
Probably look this way. 

649
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,400
Yeah, there we go. 
A finishing faith knows how to 

650
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:31,600
increase momentum because a 
finishing faith faces facts. 

651
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:39,280
You increase momentum by facing 
facts, the good and the bad. 

652
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,720
OK, then this is really 
important. 

653
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,600
And the story from there in 
Romans says Abraham faced the 

654
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,760
fact his body was dead and his 
wife's body was dead. 

655
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,680
But he didn't. 
Give in to doubt, unbelief. 

656
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,120
He continued to worship God and 
then through that worship His. 

657
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,480
His faith was. 
Proven. 

658
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:04,400
And he finished. 
OK, it was proven that he 

659
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,960
finished. 
Got it. 

660
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,720
So he faced the facts. 
Of his body not being dead. 

661
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:17,000
OK, that's the bad part. 
A finishing faith is not afraid 

662
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,320
of facts. 
If you're down 20, a finishing 

663
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,120
face is we down 20. 
OK, let's get it down 15, then 

664
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,880
let's get it down 10, Then let's
get it down 5, then let's get a 

665
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,320
stop. 
And before you know, we'll be 

666
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,760
back in this game. 
A finishing faith is not afraid 

667
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,640
of facing facts. 
And too often you want to duck 

668
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,360
facts because you frayed, 
because you started in fear. 

669
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,960
That's why you can't finish now.
You started depending on no 

670
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,760
resistance. 
That's why you're not finishing 

671
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,800
now. 
That's why God had the people 

672
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,000
don't know how to fight in the 
desert, because if you don't 

673
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,960
know how to fight to get in, you
don't get kicked off of it once 

674
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,440
you get there. 
And at that point, generations 

675
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,880
are going to be in line. 
Generations are going to lose 

676
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,240
their inheritance if you don't 
know how to fight to keep it. 

677
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,880
So, so to increase momentum, 
it's a few slides down. 

678
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,000
It's a new slide. 
It says this. 

679
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,360
You have to face facts, the good
and the bad. 

680
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,080
Why do you have to face the good
facts? 

681
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,320
Because that's the 
responsibility. 

682
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,720
Many time we don't understand 
the responsibility of walking in

683
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,240
the fullness of God. 
We don't ascend the 

684
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:25,040
responsibility of finishing. 
Solomon was called to finish the

685
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,520
temple. 
David gathered the resources and

686
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,560
God said David, you're not going
to build it, your son going to 

687
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,080
have. 
To build it Solomon was called 

688
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:38,640
to finish the temple to finish 
the faith OK, but he understood 

689
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,800
there's more than went with that
there was a responsibility to 

690
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,400
steward well because people's 
lives are on the line that's I 

691
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,800
need to know how to face the 
facts of steward in great 

692
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,160
abundance, not just face the 
facts of problems. 

693
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,000
God, you're going to bless us 
and increase us. 

694
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,160
The fact is that we only have 5 
so God, how are you going to 

695
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,000
expand our reach activate more 
people. 

696
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,000
How are we going to do that? 
Because we're not going to have 

697
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,560
any. 
May any be lost, God. 

698
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,440
Now sometimes when you face the 
facts that way, a finishing 

699
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:19,760
faith will have you give and not
keep God. 

700
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,440
I only have room for 100 lbs of 
fish and you're going to sit and

701
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,400
I believe you're going to send 
me £200. 

702
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:31,520
God, what do I do? 
We'll catch the 100 and give it 

703
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,520
away, then go get the other 
hundred. 

704
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,760
Now you got room for the 100. 
You catch you. 

705
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,520
Oh, oh, what does that mean? 
That means I'm the mindset. 

706
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:43,240
I'm losing. 
I'm losing. 

707
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:47,000
I'm losing out, right? 
A finishing faith says, listen, 

708
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,400
I don't ever lose. 
All I do is sew. 

709
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,080
I can't. 
You can't steal. 

710
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,040
From me, man. 
Why? 

711
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,800
Because what you would have 
stolen, I'm declaring. 

712
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:55,920
I'm going to sew it to you 
anyway. 

713
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,000
You know I would have. 
I sold this car to you at $5000 

714
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:02,920
less. 
That's all right. 

715
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,400
I just sold a $5000 profit into 
your life. 

716
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,320
I'm getting the harvest of 
profit coming back to me. 

717
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,280
You can't steal from me because 
I'm a sore. 

718
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,240
A finishing face says it's 
impossible for me to lose 

719
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,080
because I sold what I 
intentionally do. 

720
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,000
I sold what I don't have. 
Pastor Julia came up here. 

721
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,680
She had a great job. 
She didn't quit a job, didn't 

722
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,400
leave a job. 
She sold her job, SOWED. 

723
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,440
She sold her job and she's 
reaping harvest from it even 

724
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:37,960
right now. 
A finishing faith faces the good

725
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,440
parts as well as the bad parts, 
and it's not selfish about the 

726
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,120
good parts. 
We understand God's not enough 

727
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,480
for you to increase us if we 
fail to do it to increase 

728
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,240
properly. 
So the facts is we're going to 

729
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:51,480
need more room. 
How are we going to do that? 

730
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,680
The facts is we're going to need
this God, it seems, or will we? 

731
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:03,560
A finishing faith faces all of 
the facts, the good and the bad.

732
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,120
And then at the end of the day. 
Above all else. 

733
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:24,200
A finishing faith finishes. 
A finishing faith does not 

734
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,040
almost finish. 
A finishing faith does not get 

735
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,280
close. 
A finishing faith doesn't say, 

736
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,800
man, I've come so. 
Far. 

737
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,360
Man, wow, I can just live on 
that. 

738
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:43,320
Finishing faith is not satisfied
until you break the tape and you

739
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,800
won't get through the finish. 
Matter of fact, I told you about

740
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,560
sprinters. 
One of the things they teach 

741
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,440
sprinters how to do is how to 
finish. 

742
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,160
OK. 
What they tell you as a sprinter

743
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,280
is you don't want to lean into 
the tape this way because now 

744
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,840
you throw your mechanics off and
you actually slow down. 

745
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:13,920
What they tell you is. 
You run through the tape, you 

746
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,000
don't slow. 
Down to after you've crossed the

747
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:25,520
finish line, pause finishing 
faith, runs across the finish 

748
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,680
line, doesn't crawl across the 
finish line, doesn't roll up to 

749
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,080
the finish line. 
Now I'm not saying you can't 

750
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,600
have victory crawling and 
rolling. 

751
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,840
I get that. 
But what I'm saying is, God 

752
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,760
wants you to. 
Have the kind of faith that says

753
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,800
I will get stronger at the end. 
I will be bold at the. 

754
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,600
End. 
I will be bold and going out 

755
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,760
then I it was when I started. 
I'll leave more behind me than 

756
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,440
all of that was gathered to me 
together. 

757
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,600
The Bible says this about 
Samson. 

758
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,680
So he went through all the stuff
he went through Samson strong 

759
00:45:53,680 --> 00:46:00,360
man of God, left God, got into 
sin, but God never left him, got

760
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,840
blinded through a relationship 
with Delilah, but God never left

761
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,760
him and in his face of greatest 
need he came to a place of 

762
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,560
repentance. 
He was raised up to overcome the

763
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,440
people that were terrorizing the
people of God. 

764
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,720
But he didn't had a character to
walk fullness in the call. 

765
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,080
He had a call, but no finishing 
character, no finishing faith. 

766
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,920
In the midst of that part, he 
said God. 

767
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,880
I got one more opportunity and 
they put them up between the 

768
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:41,600
temple pillars and he said God 
one more time and he destroyed 

769
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,320
the temple and then with it he 
destroyed more of the enemy in 

770
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,200
his finishing move than he did. 
In all of his life together. 

771
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,960
Finishing Faith finishes strong 
until the end, leaving a 

772
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,520
testimony of greater things, not
lesser things. 

773
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,640
You have to decide to have a 
Finishing Faith worship team you

774
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,320
can come on up. 
You have to decide to have a 

775
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,080
Finishing Faith before you 
start. 

776
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,240
You will never finish that 
strong unless you start to 

777
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,320
decide to start that strong. 
The thing about starting that 

778
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,520
strong is you may have to break 
it down. 

779
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:25,520
I used to bench press more than 
£300 but I want to finish my 

780
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:33,600
race now so I go to a trainer, 
Matt Big Dog. 

781
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,680
I go to a trainer and he tells 
me all your joints are 

782
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,680
compromised, your mobility is 
compromised, so you got to start

783
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:48,000
with a broomstick. 
I used to bench press 325 lbs. 

784
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,600
Like I start with broomstick, 
brother. 

785
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,120
If you want to finish your life 
strong, sometimes you got to go 

786
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,880
back and recreate and rebuild 
and restructure and renew 

787
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,760
because that's not a weakening 
phase. 

788
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,440
That's a decision to finish 
because I decide to finish my 

789
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,680
race. 
I said bring on the broomstick, 

790
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,800
baby. 
Let's start, resident. 

791
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,920
Trying to move to the side and 
show you what I could do, 

792
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,280
Father. 
I was going to pray. 

793
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:24,040
Father, we thank you for this 
moment that we're finishers, 

794
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,920
We're finishers, we're 
finishers. 

795
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,400
You're making us a nation of 
finishers, a generation of 

796
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,000
finishers. 
A place of finishers, Father. 

797
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,360
So much so that when the world 
cries out, go find meet someone 

798
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,640
who can finish. 
They're going to say, go to Lord

799
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,880
quest and you'll find one. 
We thank you God, that we have a

800
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:49,440
finishing faith and ability to 
accomplish all that you've asked

801
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,400
us to accomplish. 
We thank you, Lord God, for what

802
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,960
you're doing and are you 
imparting this in us and threw 

803
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,320
us in these moments in this 
time. 

804
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,160
And we thank you, God, that you 
are finisher and you're our 

805
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,760
Father and we take after you in 
every way, including our ability

806
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,800
to finish. 
So whatever happens, we finish, 

807
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:18,560
tragedy comes, we finish, trial 
comes, we finish, God, whatever 

808
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,280
comes, we finish. 
Prosperity comes, we still 

809
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:28,000
finish. 
We finish, we finish, We finish.

810
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:30,960
We finish. 
We finish. 

811
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:32,600
