Let's get into it. 9 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,440 Because I was preparing for today. 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:54,640 Well, I would wouldn't say I was preparing, but when I was in a 11 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,920 certain space this week and the Lord dropped, I feel in my 12 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,680 spirit something that should radically change us today. 13 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,800 Then I thought about, oh crap, it's Mother's Day Sunday. 14 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440 I should be preparing a Mother's Day message, something empower 15 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:21,160 moms, but I should be preparing a word that's going to change 16 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:28,280 everybody. And today for me is, is the it's 17 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,400 it is and it's going to be a significant day because I choose 18 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,000 to let this word change my life today. 19 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,160 But I I also chose it when he gave it to me. 20 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,840 It's just you guys have the choice just today. 21 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,560 I've had to sit with this for a few days, But when I do think 22 00:01:47,560 --> 00:02:02,280 about moms, this message, this message has the nature of, of, 23 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:11,760 of a, of a for real mom. And it's not that men don't have 24 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,320 it, it's just that men choose not to because the world and 25 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:25,200 culture has robbed men from the world hasn't robbed men from 26 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:33,280 being emotional, but it has robbed us of showing healthy 27 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:40,160 emotions from a place of needing God or else. 28 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:51,440 Today's message, my prayer from from the bottom of my heart is 29 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,440 that there's something that happens deep in our souls 30 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,920 because I, I know we all need it. 31 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,360 And what I've come to figure out is there's, there's no way to 32 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,240 really walk with God or understand God's heart without a 33 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:25,120 life of vulnerability. And the world is not made for us 34 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,040 to be vulnerable in a healthy manner. 35 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:35,960 The world is not made for men to cry out to God. 36 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,480 I, I, I, I saw something this week and maybe it's just because 37 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,120 where I'm at in my life, but I saw something this week that's 38 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,240 it's all through the Bible. But we don't really present it 39 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880 the way that I think God wants to present it today. 40 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,840 But there's no Davidic people without a cry. 41 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,040 You were born crying when you wanted to get your parents 42 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,320 attention. All you could do was cry. 43 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,360 But as we get older, we have lost the cry for God. 44 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,360 We emotional, we know how to be angry, we know how to tell you 45 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,640 we ticked off. We know how to be dramatic. 46 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,200 We know how to be messy. We know how to complain, we know 47 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880 how to gossip. We know how. 48 00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:40,400 But man, why in other parts of the world do we see revival 49 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,280 sustained? And I believe that I. 50 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,120 See something that's in scripture that even God is talk 51 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,280 is is crying out for. But here's the challenge. 52 00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:02,560 You only see this level of intense passion for God where 53 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,200 there's trauma or catastrophe or extreme poverty where I only 54 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:16,240 have God or else but we have a bougie relationship with God, a 55 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,400 bougie prayer life, a bougie pray. 56 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,560 It's like to get you to raise your hands. 57 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:27,960 It it it it's the desperation lifts your hands. 58 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:39,240 Not a worship leader. War, death, tragedy, loss, pain, 59 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:46,000 heartbreak, calamity and hardship has been the means of 60 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,240 our cry outs. We look overseas and we see why. 61 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,120 There's sustained revival, miracles, signs, wonders, cities 62 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,400 changed, cultures transformed, kingdoms turned over and God's 63 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,760 Kingdom established. There's a cry out. 64 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,520 There's not mere crying. There's not mere sadness, 65 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,440 there's not mere frustration, there's not mere anger, but 66 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:22,840 there's a cry out from man's soul that God and all of heaven 67 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:27,960 cannot ignore. We cry because we're going 68 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,280 through something. They have nothing. 69 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,400 They cry out and it's translated to joy. 70 00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:49,400 We have lost the art of crying out because we cry about 71 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,360 anything and everything that can't go our way, won't go our 72 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,240 way or in our timing. Any amount of adversity we are 73 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,920 thrown off, any amount of challenge we are offended. 74 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,480 Any amount of persecution we faint and any amount of 75 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,800 discomfort we cower away. We cry from entitlement, we 76 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,440 throw fits of pride, we flail in ignorance. 77 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,120 We are busy in fear. Our souls are crying for 78 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,160 something that we cannot articulate. 79 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:31,480 So we mask our longing for God with performances and offerings, 80 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,000 hoping that God would see us. God would move. 81 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,520 Hopefully he hears us. And just in case He doesn't, I 82 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,320 have security in my children, my job, my bank, bank account, my 83 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,040 plans, my resources and my connections. 84 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,320 Our soul is actually yearning for something deeper, something 85 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,280 richer, something more sustainable, but something that 86 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,640 can only be obtained through a deep, intimate, uninterrupted 87 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080 walk with God. That can only be sustained 88 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,520 through a deep longing and evolving revelation of the 89 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,880 Father's love, as well as a daily desperation that is 90 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,200 produced by heavenly realization of our need for Him. 91 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,679 The lack of crying out has LED us to great and severe measures 92 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,840 of mental health issues. The lack of crying out has LED 93 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,159 us to great and severe measures of pride and disease and crime 94 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,440 and unhealthy habits, isolation, offense, orphan spirit. 95 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,520 And we've replaced crying out with drugs and alcohol, porn, 96 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,920 therapy, gossip, education and Mammon. 97 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,760 The issue is not do we cry? The issue is who we do we cry 98 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,600 out? Do who do we cry to? 99 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,880 A part of today's mental illness attack is because we don't cry 100 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:29,200 out. A part of dysfunctional marriage 101 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,040 is because we don't cry out. A part of today's crime increase 102 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,120 is because we don't cry out. And that's why there's this move 103 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,840 and we got, and the world has given us language for mental 104 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,120 illness, but not a, a, a, a, a way of crying out to God. 105 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,280 It's talk to therapists and tell them what's wrong. 106 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,560 So we grow in coping mechanisms and we grow in modified 107 00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:00,320 behavior, but we don't grow in intimacy with God. 108 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,120 So the world is going to give you tools and God is giving you 109 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:15,280 a life of victory. The enemy understands the time 110 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,800 we're in, so he wants to rob your cry out to God and replace 111 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,080 it with artificial sustainability. 112 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,120 So if I just get a husband, if I just get kids, I'll be happy. 113 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,400 If I could just pop these pills, I can. 114 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:48,080 The cry of the fear of God. It's like I can't go without you 115 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,360 no more Lord. I can't live without you. 116 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,680 I can't love without you. I can't stand without you. 117 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,880 I can't believe without you. I can't decide without you. 118 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,760 I can't build without you. I can't parent without you. 119 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,880 I can't lead without you. I just can't period without you. 120 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,240 Not another day, not another hour. 121 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,360 Without you, I surrender all song. 122 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,400 It's this. I can't without you. 123 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:34,120 Today's conversation. God is trying to dig deep and I 124 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,440 know he may only be able to get to a few people, but I'm telling 125 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,360 you, it's not too late. Our praise is controlled. 126 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,400 We only go so far, and here it is. 127 00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:51,320 I grew up where people had cry out, but ignorance, but they had 128 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:57,520 cry out. There was not one dead Sunday. 129 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:05,040 There was no scheduling serving. Everybody served every week at 130 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,520 the same post for years. And you go back to that church 131 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,480 right now and the usher, he might, he should sit down. 132 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,600 He's 90 years old, but he's still ushering. 133 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,360 But today it's like I'm, I don't, I don't got time to 134 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,280 serve. I'm yeah, I'm not this week. 135 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,040 But I'm talking about people. I was talking to my wife about 136 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,640 this. I'm talking about Grandmama's 137 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,240 grandpas and parents who had full time jobs. 138 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,080 I'm talking about big labor. And they're at church all day 139 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,040 Sunday and they're there on Wednesday and that rehearsal 140 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,960 Tuesday and Saturday. And that choirs and ushers 141 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,240 program on Friday. And they worked every day. 142 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,960 And you did not come to church without seeing people come to 143 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,240 church in their uniforms from work. 144 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:59,040 But today, church is where I go. And they better feed me 145 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,400 something. They better have me a word. 146 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,160 They better sing my favorite song. 147 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,320 They better end when I need them to end. 148 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:20,800 Where has the revelation of God? I need thee they they weren't 149 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:27,160 serving every week because they had to, but they had a 150 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,520 revelation of God. You brought me from a mighty 151 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,560 long way, God, if I don't build your church, my grandson, my 152 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,440 granddaughter, my my kids won't have a place when I'm dead and 153 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,000 gone.

And what? 189 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,880 Come on, get up. And what? 190 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,400 Pour your heart out, EJ Our prayers, man. 191 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,400 I grew up hearing prayers where the room was shaking and and it 192 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,440 was and and and and it had some fervor and some passion and it 193 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,880 had some urgency in every prayer. 194 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,440 Ain't never heard my grandmama, my Mama, my uncles. 195 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,520 No Deacon cry or pray without some fervor. 196 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,640 Where's those prayers? Our cute little prayers, Father. 197 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,760 In the name of Jesus, Lord, we thank you. 198 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,560 And that's fine. But I'm telling you, there's a 199 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,359 depth that we will never experience on earth without a 200 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,520 depth, without you being vulnerable. 201 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,680 And here it is. Here's the problem. 202 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:23,839 The people that pray with passion are Pentecostal or they 203 00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:31,240 are charismatic or they are people of color, or they are a 204 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,640 certain type of group, versus seeing in the Bible that this 205 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,720 cry out and this fervor and passion is what has moved heaven 206 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,320 over and over and over and over again. 207 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,320 You want to know why we don't see revival? 208 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:50,280 Because we don't cry out. You want to know why it's over 209 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,760 there? It's because they cry out. 210 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,680 But what I see in the word of God is we do not have to get in 211 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,680 extreme circumstances to cry out. 212 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,960 We don't have to be poor to cry out. 213 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,920 Your child don't have to die to cry out. 214 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,880 You don't have to have cancer to cry out. 215 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,920 Psalm 42 here I am. If you going to be a Davidic 216 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,200 people, you want to know why God says that's a man? 217 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:26,280 After my own heart. Here I am, depressed and 218 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:33,760 downcast, yet I will still remember you as I ponder the 219 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,040 place where you're you know, here it is, here it is, here it 220 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,760 is. Here's why I don't have to be at 221 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,520 the bottom to cry out, because I've learned the skill of 222 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:49,960 pondering His goodness. I am moved by what He has done, 223 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,480 not having to God to allow me to fall again so I can cry out 224 00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,360 again. Yet, yet, yet, I will still 225 00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:05,600 remember you as I ponder the place where your glory streams 226 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:11,840 down from the mighty mountain tops, lofty and majestic, the 227 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,280 mountains of your awesome presence. 228 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:20,200 Here it is. My deep need calls out, or in 229 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,720 other words, cry out to the deep kindness of your love. 230 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,880 Your waterfall of weeping sent waves of sorrow over my soul, 231 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:38,120 carrying me away, cascading over me like a thundering cataract. 232 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:41,760 Here's the world is meant to callous you. 233 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600 We're so busy. We have so many goals. 234 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,720 We're so trying to be inspirational. 235 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,240 We got so many albums, so many books, so many wives, so much 236 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,720 fun, so much travel to do. And before you know it, we're so 237 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,760 busy and so desperate to be successful that we have lost 238 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,880 intimacy with our Creator. And we wonder why we have to 239 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,720 strive to see breakthrough versus live and breakthrough and 240 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,600 be the breakthrough. Because breakthrough is on me. 241 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:23,560 Breakthrough is in me. When people cry out, you don't 242 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,800 got to beg people to give and to serve. 243 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,200 It's because a cry out is birthed from an intimacy with 244 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,040 God. God, I need you. 245 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,000 God, I long for you, whatever it may be. 246 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,960 God, I will do it. I will go, I will say it. 247 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,640 So afraid of people. We can't cry out. 248 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,520 Now pastors and leaders are falling by the wayside because 249 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,720 they're the ones crying to get you to cry. 250 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,240 And they're having counseling meetings with you to stop your 251 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,520 tears. But a lot of your tears come 252 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,920 from a lack of intimacy with God. 253 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,800 Your heart keeps getting broken because you won't break. 254 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:17,480 Let your heart be broken for God, my deep knee, He calls out 255 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,640 to the deep kindness of your love. 256 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,960 Your waterfall of weeping sent waves over. 257 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,880 My soul goes on. And he says all through the day, 258 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:38,560 Yahweh has commanded His endless love to pour over me while I'm 259 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,440 going to my career job. All through the day when I feel 260 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,800 like all hope is gone. All through the day He's 261 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,880 commanded his endless love pour over me. 262 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,200 Through the night I sing through the night. 263 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:04,160 My soul is crying out his songs and my praises to the living 264 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:10,680 God. When we hear the deep to deep, 265 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,360 it's an emphasis on the great depth and significance of a need 266 00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:18,080 and a hunger and a thirst for God the Father. 267 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:24,320 A need, a desperation deep. Crying out too deep is spiritual 268 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,280 engagement. It's not a passive act. 269 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,760 It requires a deep engagement with one's emotions and faith 270 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,120 breaking through passivity and fear. 271 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,520 And then we look at somebody that's dancing. 272 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:44,240 It's like, oh, that's their culture now, silly you sound. 273 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,880 Oh, someone is screaming, crying out to the Lord. 274 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,920 That's just not my personality, but it's his nature. 275 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,920 What would a house look like? And what would the body of 276 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,640 Christ look like if every time we gathered there was a crying 277 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,000 out, not a showing up of arrogance? 278 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,040 And oh, I'm coming to get a word for me today. 279 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,680 I hope it helps me. And then walk out of here with 280 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:21,960 no type of desperation. Why is it only a tenth of the 281 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:28,240 room falling on their faces? You can't tell me that God has 282 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,800 not done something to you and for you that should not 'cause 283 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,560 you with revelation to fall on your face. 284 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,880 Because He's holy, because he's good, because He's faithful. 285 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,880 No matter how prideful you've been, he still loves you. 286 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,160 He's forgiven you. No matter how nasty you've been, 287 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:50,800 he still loved you. This bougie approach to God will 288 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,160 not work. Not in the depths of darkness 289 00:23:54,160 --> 00:24:06,060 we're entering. It's not a passive act requires 290 00:24:06,060 --> 00:24:12,640 deep engagement with one's emotions and one's faith 291 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,400 breaking through passivity and fears whole lot of passivity and 292 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,920 worship services. We just sit here and we we read 293 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,000 the lyrics and the Angel where the lyrics at. 294 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:32,960 We put the and the Angel saying. Holy. 295 00:24:34,000 --> 00:25:05,930 All creation. And we've created a space for 296 00:25:05,930 --> 00:25:12,370 you to easily approach God. How dare us not have screens for 297 00:25:12,370 --> 00:25:16,850 you to read? And the whole point of praise 298 00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:22,330 and worship is for you to pursue Him, not read about Him and 299 00:25:22,330 --> 00:25:31,800 watch others who long for Him. This cry out can release 300 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:37,200 spiritual breakthrough like never before and createspace for 301 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,200 God's presence. The cry out benefits beyond 302 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,680 deliverance. While seeking deliverance is a 303 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,120 common reason for crying out, other benefits include guidance 304 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,320 and understanding and knowing. God better and strengthening 305 00:25:52,320 --> 00:26:00,080 your soul. This isn't about crying out for 306 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,560 a new house, a new car. This is not about crying out. 307 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,640 Lord, bring in the money for the worship center. 308 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,840 It's like while I'm waiting, God, I need you, You're enough. 309 00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:15,000 It's just when is God going to be enough? 310 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,160 Every day we're crying out for Him to do something and he's 311 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:32,280 just not enough. When is your Savior enough? 312 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,040 Before the man show up? Before the woman show up? 313 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,920 Before the building is done? Before the permits are handed 314 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,360 over? When is God going to be enough? 315 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,720 Is it going to take losing a loved one? 316 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,240 Is it going to take your child drowning? 317 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:07,640 What's going to take for you to cry out to the Lord and say God 318 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:17,000 you are all I need? Why does trauma and catastrophe 319 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:21,480 have to be the only time we get desperate? 320 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,000 Why do we have to walk up to our house burning down to say God, 321 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:37,600 I'm not going, I don't know what to do when they walk out on you. 322 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,040 Why? That's when God help my soul. 323 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,680 Why isn't it just your daily bread to need God? 324 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,400 We're waiting for callbacks. We're waiting for confirmation. 325 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,920 Is this my spouse? Why are we bombarding heaven for 326 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,080 confirmation? For things that when we die, we 327 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,120 won't need them? God won't need them. 328 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:08,520 They have no use in heaven. But every day, the stuff we're 329 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,520 waiting on, we're not waiting for God. 330 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,280 We're waiting for the hand of God, not waiting for the heart 331 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:24,480 of God. Reason why pop culture so 332 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,520 attractive is because they desperately want the world. 333 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,640 They desperately want them bands that money, they desperately 334 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,360 want that women, they desperately want to party and 335 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:40,440 they sell it from desperation. And our children are following 336 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,960 desperation because if you ain't desperate about it, it is not 337 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:53,050 going to compel me to want it. If our main business is so 338 00:28:53,050 --> 00:28:56,920 winning, then you tell me why a fisherman is going to sit on the 339 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,160 water all night, all day long for some fish because they're 340 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,800 desperate for a catch. And then we're frustrated with 341 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,160 God because he don't come through for the thing. 342 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,480 The thing. God is here, but the thing 343 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,720 ain't. His presence is here, but the 344 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,760 thing ain't. His goodness is here, but the 345 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,080 job ain't, the building ain't, the money ain't, the spouse 346 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,440 ain't so you mean God can't get your best praise without 347 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,520 something wrong or your prayer of a thing answered. 348 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,240 He can't get your best praise before you get sick. 349 00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:53,540 Look at this. He said to her, give me your 350 00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:56,700 son. This woman bless the man of God, 351 00:29:59,780 --> 00:30:03,000 her sons end up, her son ends up jethly sick. 352 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,240 She's crying out, what, what, what have you done? 353 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,920 And the man of God shows up and he says, God, what? 354 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,000 This woman blessed me, Why, Why her son? 355 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,280 He said to her, give me your son. 356 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,760 And he took him from her bosom and carried him up into the 357 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,040 chamber where he stayed and laid him upon his own bed. 358 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:37,640 And Elijah cried to the Lord, Look, this wasn't his son. 359 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,320 When you going to cry about somebody else's child being 360 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:49,690 lost? Elijah cried to the Lord and 361 00:30:49,690 --> 00:30:55,210 said, Oh Lord my God, have you brought further calamity up on 362 00:30:55,210 --> 00:31:00,210 this widow with whom I soldier? By slaying her son. 363 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,560 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried 364 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:15,680 to the Lord, and said, Oh Lord my God, I pray you, let this 365 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:22,080 child's soul come back into him. And the Lord heard the voice of 366 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,000 Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and 367 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,200 he revived. Man, I don't get, we don't got 368 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,200 enough energy. We ain't got enough time to cry 369 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,920 out. We don't got enough time to 370 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,520 tarry. We ain't got enough time. 371 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,560 We got to go, ain't got time to go to church every day. 372 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,080 I don't got time to go to prayer meeting. 373 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:55,320 I got stuff to do. Watch this The heartfelt and 374 00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:01,960 persistent prayer of a righteous man is able to accomplish much 375 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,160 when put into action and made effective by God. 376 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,440 It is dynamic and can have tremendous power. 377 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,680 Watch this next scripture in James. 378 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,320 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, with the same 379 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,960 physical, mental and spiritual limitations and shortcomings, 380 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,120 and he prayed intensely. For it not to rain. 381 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:29,360 And it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months 382 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,800 where tremendous power is released through the passionate, 383 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,800 heartfelt prayer, passionate, heartfelt prayer, passionate, 384 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,280 heartfelt prayer of a godly believer. 385 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:54,280 This, this is not a saying, a quick little prayer that we say 386 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,040 on some like, Lord, I can do all things through Christ who 387 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,680 strengthens me. That's cool. 388 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,520 Keep the word in your mouth, man. 389 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,080 When's the last time you've been on your knees crying out for 390 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,960 your city, crying out for your Mama, crying out for your 391 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:16,200 health, not crying because you're not healthy, but crying 392 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,560 unto the God that Lord, I'll stay sick. 393 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:26,520 But if I got you, I can make it. Lord, I'm gonna count it all 394 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,200 joy, because when you are with me, greater is he that is in me 395 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:38,000 than he that's in the world. I'm not crying because poor me. 396 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,520 I'm crying because God, I need thee. 397 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,440 I need you in this. I'll walk through the valley. 398 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:53,080 I'll tell it on the mountain, I'll raise this child, but not 399 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,760 without you. What I'm crying out for is you, 400 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,400 God, because the situation can change, but there's going to be 401 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,760 another situation down the road. You can give me back this 402 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,280 person, but there's going to be another person that leaves me. 403 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,040 What you going to do when the next person leave you? 404 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,080 What you going to do when the next person pass away? 405 00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,880 What you going to do with the next doctor's report? 406 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,199 What you going to do when you get old age? 407 00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:23,920 What you going to do when that just unfortunate news come? 408 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:32,120 The. Cry out is how I enter trauma. 409 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,199 It's how I enter bad news. My cry out is not a response to 410 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:40,199 bad news. My cry out is my. 411 00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:49,000 Posture bad news encounters a cry out, it doesn't cause one. 412 00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:01,520 Elijah said. Elijah was a man with human 413 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:09,040 frailties, just like all of us. But he prayed, and he received. 414 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:17,280 Supernatural answers. The fuel of our cry shouldn't be 415 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:23,760 based on our needs, but should be generated by the passion of 416 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:33,880 the Father's desires. Crying out to God is a pervent 417 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:40,160 petition, often done aloud. Let me help you. 418 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:46,480 Aloud has nothing to do with how you were raised or the color 419 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,400 your skin or a denominator. Aloud is not a denomination. 420 00:35:51,960 --> 00:36:01,200 Aloud is not Pentecostal, right? When all of us were children, it 421 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,440 wasn't like, oh, I'm a Caucasian baby, I don't cry aloud. 422 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:23,110 But when we were all innocent and our minds was unstained by 423 00:36:23,110 --> 00:36:26,960 the affairs of this world, without even having to be 424 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,560 prompted when we need Mama and daddy, we cried out. 425 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,760 Sometimes we cried just so they hold our hands. 426 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,600 I remember Malia came out of her mama's womb and she cried and I 427 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,120 talked to her through the womb. I put I was writing music during 428 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,320 her the pregnancy and I would put my headphones on Julia's 429 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:54,560 belly. So today Malia remember songs 430 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,720 that I wrote that I don't remember, but I talked to her 431 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,000 when she came out, she was crying and. 432 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:08,760 Then I just said, hey, baby couldn't see, you know, baby's 433 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:18,400 eyes all over the place. My sheep hear my voice. 434 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,720 We so we, so we so distracted. We don't know God's voice. 435 00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:29,560 So we got to go to conferences, how to hear from God. 436 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,440 We got books on our shelf, how to hear from God. 437 00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:39,040 But when you walk with them, even when you just feel a little 438 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,560 anxious, all you need is, hey, sweetie, I'm here. 439 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,720 It wasn't the words, it was the sonics. 440 00:37:54,040 --> 00:38:02,660 It was the presence crying out to God. 441 00:38:05,420 --> 00:38:06,460 It's done. Aloud. 442 00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:11,940 It's a powerful way to engage with God, especially in times of 443 00:38:11,940 --> 00:38:13,260 distress. Here it is. 444 00:38:13,660 --> 00:38:18,700 Or when seeking guidance. Can you just cry out when you 445 00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:24,140 just need clarity? Most of the time you hear people 446 00:38:24,140 --> 00:38:28,640 crying out is because of pain. Oh my God, I just need wisdom. 447 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,680 So I'm crying out for direction. I'm singing this song for 448 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,800 direction. My house is good, my children 449 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,480 healthy, my life is good. I'm blessed beyond measure. 450 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,560 But I just need a little clarity. 451 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:50,480 So here I am, Lord. It's not like Lord, when you're 452 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,840 ready, just going to drop that wisdom on me whenever you're 453 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,240 ready. I got time because my life is 454 00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:56,480 good. So I don't necessarily need the 455 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,840 wisdom, but I need the wisdom. So whenever you're ready, just 456 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,680 drop it on me. But boy, let you get some bad 457 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,480 news calling people.

Crossover where the new age was 506 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,960 coming up. He was talking about the 507 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,160 difference in the locker rooms between the Ogs and the young 508 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,400 people. And you look at basketball 509 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,640 today, the game changing, you know, ah, you file and you get 510 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,360 you get a back, then they'll fight and then I get it. 511 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,280 Some of you just can't punch me and then not get penalized for 512 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,120 it. But at the same time, the the 513 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:34,760 difference between the old St. and today's St. humongous 514 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,680 difference, the hunger, the the willing to come out and play 515 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,200 like this. Does it mean that that's the 516 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,720 best? Mike, don't forget we're talking 517 00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:49,200 about basketball. But but but the willing for Kobe 518 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,000 to tape up a broken finger or go to the sideline like this and 519 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,560 they pop his shoulder back in and he'd get back in the game. 520 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,480 Or the willingness to walk up to the free throw line with a, with 521 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,520 a, with a, with a season ending injury. 522 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,240 And like, I'm going to shoot this free throw and I'm going to 523 00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:09,520 walk myself off the, the guts and the, the, the, the, the, 524 00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:14,400 the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the grits of the old 525 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:18,640 St. See the difference between 526 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,880 basketball and the church is God stays the same. 527 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,480 So what he's the scriptures haven't changed from age to age. 528 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,080 Our approach to God remains the same. 529 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,720 So we might have added TV's, but our approach to God remains the 530 00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:45,880 same. This, this signifies this, this 531 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,640 crying out is an act that signifies dependence and trust 532 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,000 and the recognition of God's power. 533 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,400 And it it can. Lead to significant spiritual 534 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,280 growth and a deeper connection with God. 535 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,560 Man, these last few days, man, they hit my spirit of grandma 536 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:11,280 and moms and my aunties and uncles. 537 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:17,160 And it wasn't just church, man. We'd be driving in the car and 538 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,720 they got to pull over, not merely because the Holy Ghost 539 00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:24,960 hit them, but because Revelation hit them and they have to pull 540 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:29,760 over to give them praise. And even grandma will be washing 541 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,520 the dishes and Mom will be washing the dishes and you hear 542 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:38,680 them crying out and then put the towel over their shoulder. 543 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,000 And then at some point they move from the sink and end up 544 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,160 somewhere in the house on their face. 545 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,960 And as a kid, you're like, what's wrong? 546 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,520 They got fool me in the house like this. 547 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,960 Something happened. And all you would hear is man, 548 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,960 God's God. If that's the only reason I cry 549 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:16,310 out is because he gave me another we throw tantrums over. 550 00:46:16,310 --> 00:46:20,470 What? Put that energy towards crying 551 00:46:20,470 --> 00:46:25,230 out to God. Somebody don't get you 552 00:46:25,230 --> 00:46:35,230 attention. It signifies dependence. 553 00:46:35,550 --> 00:46:38,720 Watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this some. 554 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:47,480 In my distress I cried out to you, the delivering God, And 555 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,000 from your temple throne you heard my troubled cry, and my 556 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:59,000 sobs went right into your heart. Sometimes you wonder why it's 557 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,280 taking so long to breakthrough. You know when you want something 558 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:10,520 bad enough, the holding out produces desperation, not a 559 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:17,640 tantrum, not a giving up on God. Because the question ain't if 560 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,360 he's if he if he could do it or if he did it, or if provision is 561 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:29,000 there is yes and Amen. The length of my weight speaks 562 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:37,160 to his longing for me. You've made it about him not 563 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:43,520 longing for what you want, but you put what you want before 564 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,600 what he wants. And he wants you more than you 565 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,720 want the job and you want the spouse. 566 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,240 He wants you more than you than the healing. 567 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,800 He he. He understands that there are 568 00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,120 some things he because. Because at the end of the story, 569 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,720 you won't end up sick, but somehow that sickness got you 570 00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:13,400 longing for him. So the temporary, this is how 571 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:18,880 Paul's mind was somehow insane because he says I'm going to 572 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,000 write these love letters in prison because I know prison is 573 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:30,280 not where I'm going to end up. So I can write these letters in 574 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:37,680 chains. God got those letters from 575 00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:43,200 chained hands. And you wonder why God ain't in 576 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,320 a rush to get them chains off your wrist. 577 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,240 Because maybe it's where the chains are. 578 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:56,920 It's where you and God finally got some intimacy and the 579 00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:01,760 problem is is when the chains come off, can you stay as 580 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:11,430 desperate? North American prayer life is 581 00:49:11,430 --> 00:49:14,430 filled up with requests for mammon. 582 00:49:19,310 --> 00:49:20,830 Not just hear a father just like. 583 00:49:20,830 --> 00:49:24,110 Man, am I enough see Jesus on the cross? 584 00:49:24,110 --> 00:49:31,200 Like is this enough? How is my blood enough for your 585 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:36,000 sins to be cleaned, but it's not enough for you to be happy? 586 00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:47,670 How have I freed you from eternal death, but I can't free 587 00:49:47,670 --> 00:49:56,030 you from one day of rejection? It ain't going your way. 588 00:50:00,030 --> 00:50:02,710 But what if when it ain't going your way is going my way? 589 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,560 The joy of the Lord is my strength. 590 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,720 So what I tap into is that when it ain't going my way is. 591 00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:16,520 This. Moment bringing God joy. 592 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:23,520 Although it's bringing me some anxiety, the anxiety is not 593 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,040 what's bringing God joy, but what's bringing God joy as this 594 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:33,320 child finally needs them. Now. 595 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,680 All we ask, God, fix this, fix that. 596 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,000 God, you take him around your little house and say, Lord, tape 597 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,320 that up for me. Lord, can you fix that for me? 598 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,200 Lord, can you bring this money through for me? 599 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,880 Lord, bring me a husband, Lord. Lord, give me this building 600 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,120 permit. Lord, can you bless this book? 601 00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:50,400 Lord, can you breathe on this album? 602 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:57,920 And this whole time he's like, what about me and you? 603 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:09,440 I created you for me. In the beginning you needed 604 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:20,080 nothing but me. In my distress, I cried out to 605 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:30,320 you, the delivering God. From your temple throne, you 606 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:35,800 heard my troubled cry, and my sobs went right into your heart. 607 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,880 See, men, how much would this world be changed if men knew how 608 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,280 to cry out? Not. 609 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,200 This is not the emotional part. This is this is not what I'm 610 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,640 talking about. This is not oh, I'm angry and 611 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:58,280 I'm gonna let you have it. This is like, Lord, I surrender 612 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,000 all to you. I lay my family down. 613 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,040 I lay my finances down. I'm coming to you for my needs, 614 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:12,320 but my needs start with you. I want to desire what you 615 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,520 desire. I don't want to waste no time 616 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,040 desiring my desires that you don't desire. 617 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,440 I told the worship team yesterday, what if you're 618 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:25,120 desiring stuff God says He don't need for you and him, but he 619 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:29,760 blesses you with your desires because he's a good father. 620 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,200 But he's saying I don't need you to have that to be what I've 621 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:39,160 called you to be. You don't need that spouse to be 622 00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:42,400 what I've called you to be. You don't need that bank 623 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,800 account. You don't need all that money to 624 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,200 be. You don't need to go to Italy to 625 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,160 have the rest I designed for you. 626 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:56,320 And there's this long list of things that we think we need. 627 00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,240 And God's like, sure, that's not sin if you think that's going to 628 00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:05,120 make you happy here. But I don't need you to have 629 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:10,560 that to live the fulfilled life that I have for you. 630 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:18,080 I, I don't need you to have that for you to be what I've called 631 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,400 you to be. I don't need you to have that. 632 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,640 But because it's not evil, it's not sinful. 633 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,360 You, you kind of delight in me. Hey, man, they, they, they, they 634 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,800 wanted a king. They want, they wanted 635 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,520 Israelites. They wanted this. 636 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,400 They didn't want what God wanted for them, but they wanted what 637 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,800 they wanted. And what did God do here? 638 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,120 And the very thing they desired pulled them away from God. 639 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,040 And This is why he says, if you delighted me, he's so slick. 640 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,080 Because when you delight in him, you automatically want what he 641 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:55,560 desires. Delight in him doesn't mean sing 642 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,280 songs, it mean actually preference Him. 643 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:04,240 And when you preference him, you begin to want what he desires 644 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,480 and boom, of course he's going to give it to you because it's 645 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:11,680 what He desires. Some of you are waiting on stuff 646 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,120 that God don't even desire for you. 647 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,360 He's not moved by that prayer request because he's like I, I, 648 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:25,520 I can wait because what I desire is this time I'm getting from 649 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,760 you. But when this thing show up, I 650 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,240 know it might pull you away. Oh, you too busy now that's 651 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:32,280 here. This is Bible. 652 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,280 He went and said go compel them and one after another. 653 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,120 Oh, I just got married. I got a tend to this. 654 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:38,600 Oh, I just built the house I got. 655 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,880 Oh, I just got some new cattle. I don't got time and we are in a 656 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,160 time where God is inviting His bride, His sons and daughters 657 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,360 home. But guess what? 658 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,000 Some of us. I ain't got time. 659 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,800 I got a couple of hours on Sunday. 660 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,400 Oh yeah, I listen to my devotional and I got a 661 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,800 relationship with God. But the Bible tells the Bible, 662 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,960 not PT. The Bible says in these last 663 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:07,400 days, one of the most important things you could do is come to 664 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:18,600 the House of the Lord. Please say 30 circle Psalm 34. 665 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:25,360 Yet when holy lovers of God cry out, Annabeth, when holy lovers 666 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:31,320 of of God cry out to him with all their hearts, the Lord will 667 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:37,520 hear them and come to rescue them. 668 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,120 From. All their troubles, if you ever 669 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,880 had a kid and you're trying to wean them from gumming into your 670 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,600 bed, you just let them cry and then and then you got some 671 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,840 babies that don't stop crying and then they hit this register 672 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,720 that's like, Oh, I just that just it hit my heart different. 673 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:06,440 At first you was just whining. Now you crying out, when you 674 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,480 going to stop whining and just start crying out? 675 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,080 And, and sometimes I think God graces us to whine long enough 676 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:17,320 to now all we want is him. I'm so tired of crying because I 677 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:18,840 just want you in the room with me. 678 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,480 No God, I want to be in the room with you. 679 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,280 Big difference.

He responded with his son, Oh my 683 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,680 God, got to keep crying out for you. 684 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,840 Yet when holy lovers of God, he said, the Lord will hear them 685 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:03,680 and come to their rescue and rescue them from all their 686 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,400 troubles.

Come and save me. 689 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,160 These, these floods of trouble have risen higher and higher. 690 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,960 The water is up to my neck. I'm sinking into the mud with no 691 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,000 place to stand. And I'm about to drown in this 692 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,360 storm. I pray you can hear. 693 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,840 I pray you can hear the tone, the cry, the heart. 694 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,200 I'm weary. I'm exhausted with weeping. 695 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,520 My throat is dry. I've been weeping so much. 696 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,280 My voice is gone. My eyes are swollen with sorrow. 697 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,120 And I'm waiting for you. He didn't say I'm waiting for 698 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,640 it. Who was he waiting for? 699 00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,720 Paul cried out for this throne, this thorn to leave his side. 700 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,520 And the cry didn't take the thorn out. 701 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:13,320 The cry gave him a revelation that produced a contentment to 702 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:22,440 keep the thorn in his side. And I'm waiting for you, God, to 703 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,040 come through for me. Watch this. 704 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,000 Psalm 51 is one of the most powerful scriptures in the book. 705 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:38,440 God, give me mercy from your fountain of forgiveness. 706 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:45,080 I know Your abundant love is enough to wash away my guilt 707 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,000 because your compassion is so great. 708 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,160 Take away this shameful guilt of sin. 709 00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:01,280 Forgive the full extent of my rebellious ways and erase them 710 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,760 with deep stain. Erase this deep stain. 711 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:11,040 On my conscience I am so ashamed. 712 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,040 I feel such.

Hold me close. 792 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:06,440 This is David wants to be close to God, and he's realized how 793 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:11,800 his sin has separated him. He's realized how putting things 794 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:18,200 and people before God has separated him, how he's allowed 795 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:23,760 worry to separate him, fear of man to separate him, the next 796 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:28,680 raised and bonus to separate him, the next client to separate 797 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,920 him. He is realizing this. 798 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:36,480 He's like God, what have I done? My greatest delight in life is 799 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:50,480 to be close to you. He didn't get offended, Elder 800 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:56,640 John, when God put the desire in his heart to build God a temple, 801 01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:05,720 when God told him, but you won't build it, God put the desire to 802 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,680 build him a house in David's heart. 803 01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,640 But he said, David, I can't. Let you build it. 804 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:24,620 I got to let your son build it. No offense this Lord. 805 01:07:27,100 --> 01:07:29,540 If me not building it brings you joy. 806 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:38,040 Than me not building it if me not walking through that door 807 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,240 brings you joy. And me not walking through that 808 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:48,800 door, if me not getting that opportunity brings you joy and 809 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:54,640 bring us closer and me not walking that door here it is. 810 01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:04,720 If me not being married brings you joy, touchy, touchy subject, 811 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:17,359 then me not married. Because what you fail to realize 812 01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:24,080 is God's plan is generational. So it's the work in your 813 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:28,439 lifetime that helps continue his work for a lifetime. 814 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,840 And you didn't realize that you. Wasn't the big? 815 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,880 Shot that you just played a tiny part. 816 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:46,439 In his eternal plan, can God trust you with desires here it 817 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:51,920 is God might trust me with a desire to be married, then tell 818 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,840 me not to get married so that I can rebuild the. 819 01:08:55,840 --> 01:09:02,080 Vision for marriage in my bloodline so I can kill 820 01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,319 abortion. In my bloodline. 821 01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,720 So. So sustaining from or abstaining 822 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:12,080 from is not about me missing out, it's about me restoring 823 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:19,479 something. So you mean Jesus couldn't have 824 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,600 all the fun and pleasures for us? 825 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,120 Why? Because he was restoring 826 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,520 something? You mean there was a grandmama 827 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,760 or a grandpapa or a great grandparent in your lifetime 828 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:35,000 That they main mission was to escape from slavery, fight for 829 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,720 freedom, but couldn't enjoy the freedom because it was their job 830 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:46,600 to restore something instead of what in your lifetime you can 831 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,240 just get what are you called to restore? 832 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,400 What is the absence of what you desire restoring? 833 01:10:03,710 --> 01:10:06,230 Yeah. I I I have to put alcohol down 834 01:10:06,390 --> 01:10:09,510 because God was restoring something in my bloodline. 835 01:10:10,470 --> 01:10:12,990 I wasn't going to hell because I was sipping. 836 01:10:14,430 --> 01:10:20,270 God's restoring something. He's healing something this 837 01:10:20,270 --> 01:10:22,270 hour. God's looking for generational 838 01:10:22,270 --> 01:10:30,480 soldiers. Not everything you desired or 839 01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:36,200 you called to work for. What if I told you some of the 840 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:40,720 stuff that God wants to restore in your bloodline is going to 841 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,920 come through you resisting having to have it? 842 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:53,880 John the Baptist. Your son should not drink Jesus. 843 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:58,640 Your son should only eat this. He can't eat what everybody eat 844 01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:01,480 because he's called to restore something. 845 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:10,040 Can you be trusted with desires or will you fulfill? 846 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,600 Will you fill your life with trying to fulfill every desire 847 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:20,200 you got?

Obedience is a sole issue. 850 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,160 It comes a point where you you, you long for God so much boy, He 851 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,640 asked you to do something absolutely that you you want to 852 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:47,370 obey him so much. He got to tell you there's a 853 01:11:47,370 --> 01:11:50,530 zeal that. Peter had to protect Jesus so 854 01:11:50,530 --> 01:11:52,650 much he slice a man ear off and Jesus. 855 01:11:52,650 --> 01:11:55,930 Like no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Do you know how jealous God is 900 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,680 over the stuff you let break your heart but you won't let him 901 01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:47,960 break yours? We chasing men around, we 902 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:51,200 chasing tail around, we chasing money around. 903 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,120 And when it don't come through, we're heartbroken. 904 01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:57,120 Our life is over. A deal fell through. 905 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:02,120 It breaks your heart. But what broke David's heart is 906 01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,040 the distance between him and God. 907 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,760 God's like, OK, you want to close the gap between you and 908 01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:12,880 the wealth you desire, just keep working. 909 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,200 Stop using me for wisdom for your business. 910 01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:30,840 When will your heart break for Vancouver? 911 01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,360 Because my heart is broken over Vancouver. 912 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:38,720 When? When's your heart going to 913 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,880 break? But your dysfunctional family? 914 01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,000 Because my heart is broken over your dysfunctional family. 915 01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,040 When is your heart going to break? 916 01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:51,000 That you're living in sin but your heart broken? 917 01:17:51,000 --> 01:18:01,930 I won't bless your sin. Our hearts are broken over 918 01:18:01,930 --> 01:18:04,690 everything but God's heart being broken. 919 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:12,480 And we wonder why we can't hear from Him because what God truly 920 01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:18,160 shares with his children is his heart, not the answer to the 921 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:24,600 desires of stuff. When's the last time you said, 922 01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,680 Lord, show me your heart versus show me my husband. 923 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,200 Lord, show me what's breaking your heart versus show me where 924 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:38,720 my next career job is. Lord, show me my clients. 925 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:42,280 What versus? Show me your lost sons and 926 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,320 daughters. But when I walk in the mall, 927 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:50,280 show me who you want to minister to and encourage versus show me. 928 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,600 Give me wisdom on who to talk to today to help. 929 01:18:56,440 --> 01:19:01,000 He says the fountain of your pleasure, what pours from God's 930 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,800 heart, the joy that pours from God's heart that then translate 931 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:14,680 to my strength is found. In the sacrifice of my shattered 932 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:23,120 heart before you, not my shattered heart before somebody 933 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:30,360 I'm trying to please. You will not despise my 934 01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:39,520 tenderness. Where's the tenderness towards 935 01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:46,080 God? In the bride as I bow humbly 936 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,760 because you favor Zion. Do what is good for her. 937 01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,280 Be the protecting wall around Jerusalem. 938 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:06,360 And we, we are fully restored. When we're restored, you'll 939 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:11,400 rejoice and take delight in every offering of our lives as 940 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:16,040 we bring our sacrifices of righteousness before you in 941 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:22,640 love. Jesus was moved with compassion 942 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:31,200 and therefore we saw miracles. When was the last time you cried 943 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,800 out for a miracle versus just pray for one? 944 01:20:39,480 --> 01:20:49,120 And then you stayed crying out. You started the petition with 945 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,520 fervor. Fervor didn't come due to the 946 01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,400 lack of God seemingly not responding. 947 01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,600 Fervor started the prayer request. 948 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:07,960 I see crying out all over the Bible. 949 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:17,400 I see fervor all over the Bible. I see not too much happening in 950 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:22,480 the Bible without desperation. When I look at the condition of 951 01:21:22,480 --> 01:21:25,800 the bride, amazing stuff is happening. 952 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:48,440 But man, we are very lukewarm. I would challenge you, and we're 953 01:21:48,440 --> 01:21:50,640 going to get to this later, but boy, look at the scripture, 954 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:58,960 Troy. All of creation is groaning, but 955 01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:03,880 what about us? It says that there's a depth of 956 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:09,600 prayer that the Holy Spirit steps in and prays for us. 957 01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:14,120 Groanings. Too deep. 958 01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:16,960 Oh, our prayers. Not deep. 959 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,400 We we know exactly. What we pray in Lord bless me 960 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:24,600 with this car. I'm talking about when, when you 961 01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:28,080 when is this all happening and you don't know what's going on, 962 01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:35,600 but you just cry out. I I don't need to articulate 963 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:41,400 what I want because maybe in this hour you don't want me to 964 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:44,640 get what I want. You want me to desire what you 965 01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:48,160 want. So maybe what you're trying to 966 01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:51,120 get? Through me is new heart desires. 967 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,440 Maybe you're trying to change my desires, but I can't change your 968 01:22:57,440 --> 01:23:06,200 desires without changing your heart as we go into this next 969 01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:20,960 experience. We going to see some Bible old 970 01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:35,360 and new and I'm like, forgive me Lord, because I admittedly a lot 971 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:43,640 of times don't pray with fervor. I pray with need more than 972 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:51,600 fervor. And what would happen in our 973 01:23:51,600 --> 01:24:01,280 lives if our cry was just God in this wretched world? 974 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,160 How wasn't I in that plane crash? 975 01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,440 How wasn't I in that accident I drove by? 976 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,560 How do I have my children when I wake up and that other mother 977 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:21,680 had to bury their child? How do I have a mother to call 978 01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:28,800 and say Happy Mother's Day but that that person can't say Happy 979 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:30,800 Mother's Day because their mothers passed away? 980 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:39,800 I'm just grateful for what you've kept me from. 981 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,720 I'm so grateful I don't have time to keep begging for the 982 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:50,520 next thing your word says. Seek me first. 983 01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:55,400 You know all these other things will be added. 984 01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:00,520 Child of God don't have to beg for stuff, but we. 985 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:07,720 Do have to cry out for him the reason why and. 986 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,520 Third world countries, in other parts of this world, we see 987 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,560 revival and joy. In the midst of extreme poverty, 988 01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,440 we see joy. A lot of the videos we see 989 01:25:19,440 --> 01:25:24,040 online, these children dancing with no shoes on with joy and 990 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:29,440 smiles from across the room with not even a quarter of what you 991 01:25:29,440 --> 01:25:34,600 have is because all they got is him. 992 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:37,480 Why do? We. 993 01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:41,120 We have to get to that point. Here's the scary part. 994 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:47,320 We'll probably never see that level of lack and catastrophe. 995 01:25:48,480 --> 01:25:55,160 Now what? Sometime God will let you have 996 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,320 all your comfortable life and your all your stuff and your 997 01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:02,000 business prosper. But that's the very thing that 998 01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:05,840 keeps you lukewarm. Do you want it? 999 01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:11,960 That bad that it would also be a source of your lukewarmness. 1000 01:26:14,440 --> 01:26:16,960 This is what the test of the rich ruler was. 1001 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,840 You want to follow me? Sell everything, he didn't say. 1002 01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:23,920 Sell everything and you'll never get it back. 1003 01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:28,600 The first step is sell everything, divorce your wealth 1004 01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:32,840 and watch how wealthy you'll get. 1005 01:26:34,440 --> 01:26:36,280 It's not God's plan. You have poverty. 1006 01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,680 After these last few days and today, I will never be the same. 1007 01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,560 Will I always walk around? Will I wake up with just this 1008 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,800 kind of fervor every day? Now I'm in this human body. 1009 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,640 And that's the point. That's why we got to die, so we 1010 01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,360 can get to that point where this fervor is what we live in. 1011 01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,880 So we are limited. But what keeps us fueled in this 1012 01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:11,440 place is we ponder daily. You think he asked you to read 1013 01:27:11,440 --> 01:27:12,960 the words so you can just be like. 1014 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,840 Check. Read my daily devotional today. 1015 01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,120 I know God. No you don't. 1016 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:30,280 There's plenty of us read our daily devotionals and still do 1017 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:36,200 things that don't honor God. At this point, the word to you 1018 01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:49,640 is just a history book. I leave you with this, that 1019 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:57,800 everything the fig leaves that humanity is looking for daily to 1020 01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:05,080 cover its pain. It's the wrong response to the 1021 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:10,480 real cry that's happening so deep in your soul that 1022 01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:16,040 continuing to put fig leaves over your soul will continue to 1023 01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:22,280 cause you to respond with the wrong covering. 1024 01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:29,360 The Bible says that there's a groan in all of us. 1025 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:35,840 We're pregnant and we're trying to give birth to businesses and 1026 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:40,640 we're trying to give birth to all types of things versus a 1027 01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:48,000 rich relationship with God. And I promise you not $1.00 will 1028 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:55,200 sustain your soul in the dark days to come if you don't learn 1029 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:59,160 how to walk with God and if you don't learn His voice. 1030 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:09,240 Now the dark days to come, anxiety, depression, mental 1031 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:12,840 illness is waiting for us. Yeah, the church. 1032 01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:17,880 The world is already mentally ill. 1033 01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:23,320 That's why they reject Jesus. You got to be mentally ill to 1034 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:36,210 reject the Savior. What if you just simplified your 1035 01:29:36,210 --> 01:29:40,690 pursuit and simplified your prayer life for the rest of the 1036 01:29:40,690 --> 01:29:47,840 year and just pursue Jesus? It came to a place in your life 1037 01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:53,960 where you said if that thing do not come, I am content. 1038 01:29:55,360 --> 01:30:00,840 Ain't that what Paul said? I've had it all, I've had 1039 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:07,880 nothing and I've learned and I've mastered how to be solid, 1040 01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:13,120 sustained. I'm good either way. 1041 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,000 The next experience will be our response. 1042 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:33,360 I encourage you to stay, but I also encourage you when you 1043 01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,480 leave, if you leave. Take the word you heard. 1044 01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,080 Don't just turn on any music in your car. 1045 01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:51,720 Respond on your drive. I, I, I'll sometimes, a lot of 1046 01:30:51,720 --> 01:31:00,720 times I get a ride home from P Dill or or Adam or someone and 1047 01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:04,880 my wife would be here with the kids and they'll drive home and 1048 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:08,240 I'll get a ride home. And I know some people and even 1049 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:09,440 sometimes my wife feel messing around. 1050 01:31:09,440 --> 01:31:11,120 Why you ain't going to drive home with your family? 1051 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:18,080 Let let me tell you, it's hard to respond to what the Lord just 1052 01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:21,880 did within me and release through me. 1053 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:26,120 I need a moment. To. 1054 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:35,000 Hear God so that my soul can respond to heaven so my family 1055 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:39,240 is great they're not doing anything wrong but in my. 1056 01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:43,720 Best attempt to guard the preciousness of what heaven has 1057 01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:48,360 deposited in my soul. I can't ride in the car with 1058 01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,640 certain music. I can't ride in the car with 1059 01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:56,280 certain volumes of noise. My children have come to 1060 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,320 understand that. And that's the same thing. 1061 01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,120 On the way to car today, the deal was on. 1062 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:04,520 It's supposed to pick me up and due to the preciousness of 1063 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:07,200 today's word, called him and I said P deal. 1064 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:12,560 I want to drive by myself today. I need as much alone time as I 1065 01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:19,800 possibly can get because God's sharing his heart with me and 1066 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:24,440 it's nothing wrong with him. But I know right soon as that 1067 01:32:24,440 --> 01:32:27,440 moment he's like huh? PT must real gods must be 1068 01:32:27,440 --> 01:32:29,160 dealing with him. Let me pray for him. 1069 01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:34,520 There comes a point where God is speaking and he's drawing near 1070 01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:38,200 to you to where you just got to change your playlist for a week. 1071 01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:43,440 You got to get in your car and your kids sometime got to know 1072 01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:45,680 Mama and daddy. We we can't. 1073 01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:51,000 Just talk loud. I will walk around my house and 1074 01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,840 I'll walk in the living room and my grandma will be on her knees 1075 01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:59,920 with the blanket over her head and I'll be like, because I knew 1076 01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:10,040 God was near church. God is near in a moment like 1077 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:13,960 this. We're not closing with songs and 1078 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:17,880 you don't got to compel you and beg you to give. 1079 01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:20,360 Elder John told you we don't give. 1080 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,760 We don't get that certain this week the work stops. 1081 01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:28,280 That's not a bad thing. It's just where we are. 1082 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:31,520 You here. Here's the important part. 1083 01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:36,720 The church isn't closing, just the work there stops. 1084 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,680 If you go over there, you will see your money at work. 1085 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:49,560 But I don't believe it'll stop. I believe there's someone and 1086 01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:52,680 somebody that will cry out and God will cry back and say, son, 1087 01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:54,480 daughter, can I just get this through you? 1088 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:02,160 There's no way to close this moment, not when God is trying 1089 01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:03,720 to open up a new chapter in your life. 1090 01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:09,040 You walk out of there and then maybe for those that are staying 1091 01:34:09,480 --> 01:34:12,520 in pads. Ain't no announcement video. 1092 01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:15,640 We going to go in the back, we'll talk about it. 1093 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,520 We going do first time attendees and all that, man. 1094 01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:21,920 And sometimes this program stuff, the stuff that we do to 1095 01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:26,520 make you feel like home and peppy and all these like these 1096 01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:33,400 rallies we do at church. It's just like where you wonder 1097 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,480 why the things are happening at 2819 in Atlanta. 1098 01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,200 You wonder why they'll cry out for a building to get paid for 1099 01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,280 and the world comes to their rescue because people that don't 1100 01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:47,600 even go to their church, they feel the cry coming out of that 1101 01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:51,520 house. And what did the Bible say? 1102 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:56,240 My glory will rest upon you and kings will give to you from all 1103 01:34:56,240 --> 01:35:02,520 over the world Sometime when we on camera and we don't do it for 1104 01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:04,320 camera. The cameras are here to capture 1105 01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:07,240 what God's doing, but sometime I'm watching the stream and 1106 01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:09,360 there's folks just up in here like this doing worship like. 1107 01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:16,160 Dang, then you come up. Hey, sow into our church, God's 1108 01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,520 moving. Like wait a minute, let me 1109 01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:30,440 rewind and see how God's moving. And the angels sing holy. 1110 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:41,520 I was just looking for some people and God's looking for 1111 01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:43,400 some people. With a cry. 1112 01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:53,840 On their soul, don't nobody need to come up here and close 1113 01:35:53,840 --> 01:36:01,400 service because God's here. When is service? 1114 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,080 When is the next service going to start? 1115 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:11,600 It has you going. To turn on some pads, those that 1116 01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:14,440 are staying, you're welcome to come to the altar. 1117 01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,120 You can make the altar in the tent. 1118 01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:29,510 Those that got to go today, me personally, I know the Lord is 1119 01:36:29,510 --> 01:36:36,760 here and I want to stop taking His presence for granted and I 1120 01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,440 read in the scripture. That the glory of God was so 1121 01:36:39,440 --> 01:36:42,240 strong in the house that the priest couldn't even stand. 1122 01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:45,000 The people couldn't do nothing but fall on their face. 1123 01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:48,960 And that's not God's job to always be so thick in the room 1124 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:53,560 that you respond sometimes. You got to do the work to be 1125 01:36:53,560 --> 01:37:17,200 aware of his presence. Thank you so much for tuning 1126 01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:19,720 into this week's sermon.
