1
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:07,100
System and stood on the tip of 
the ocean with an empty jar. 

2
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:10,500
As you can, imagine the sea 
started to comment and Rise 

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,500
Above his body. 
And eventually his empty jar was

4
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:17,500
filled with seawater because the
man was so thirsty, he took that

5
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:21,500
job and he drank from it, but it
tasted very bitter. 

6
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:23,600
The next day, the man was still 
thirsty. 

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,100
So he got up early, he took his 
jar and he walked the top of a 

8
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,000
very steep mountain when he 
reached his destination. 

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,700
Ancient there in front of him 
was a beautiful waterfall. 

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,100
So we took his jar and he 
actively filled it up with the 

11
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:40,600
water that flowed from the 
waterfall and he drank from it. 

12
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,500
But this time he was satisfied. 
Why? 

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600
Because the water, tasted so 
very sweet. 

14
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:51,600
My dear friend that man is you 
every single day, you have two 

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,200
choices, you can either take the
easy option, you can stand still

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,500
and allow the oceans of 
addictions to wash over you and 

17
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:02,400
to fill up your empty. 
Cecil with bitter water or you 

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,500
can take the harder choice where
you put in the effort every 

19
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:09,700
single day, and walk up the 
spiritual Mountain to be greeted

20
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,300
by the Lord, Jesus Christ, face 
and there. 

21
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:17,000
The Lord Jesus will give you his
living water because the truth 

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,500
is this, unless we are actively 
chasing after the Lord, Jesus 

23
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:25,900
Christ every day and drinking of
his living water, our hearts, 

24
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:29,200
which were designed to worship 
will automatically run to 

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,600
another addiction. 
In whether that be emotional 

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,700
eating, whether that be the 
luxuries of life, whether that 

27
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:38,700
be vaping social media on clean 
images, alcohol Netflix, 

28
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,500
whatever it is, unless we are 
actively filling up ourselves of

29
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,200
the love of Christ. 
Every single day, our hearts 

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,300
will fill up with something else
without us asking it to be 

31
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:51,000
filled. 
Now, listen to me when I first 

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,600
heard this statement, it exposed
the greatest Idol in my life, 

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,800
and before I tell you what my 
idol is first, listen to the 

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,300
statement. 
The first First thing that a man

35
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:05,000
or a woman does when they wake 
up consistently day after day, 

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,699
tells a lot about what their 
greatest priority is in life. 

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,800
You need to know this about me. 
2019 was the hardest year of my 

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,200
life in one year, we lost our 
house and all of our possessions

39
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,200
because a great fear, a great 
anxiety, overwhelmed us. 

40
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,200
And so we ran away from 
everything, where did we run? 

41
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,600
We ran to live with my mum and 
dad and at 28 years old I felt 

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,800
like I'd Come a child. 
Again, I was relying on my mom 

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,300
and dad to wash my clothes to 
feed me to put a roof over my 

44
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:38,500
head. 
And I've been married, since 22 

45
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:41,700
years, old had had Independence 
and suddenly, I felt like I'd 

46
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:44,900
lost everything, but there's 
something I forgot to tell you. 

47
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:49,100
And it's this, my wife was nine 
months pregnant with our first 

48
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:51,200
born, son, Samuel. 
So here we are. 

49
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,000
We're living with my mom and 
dad, I can't provide for my wife

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,900
anymore. 
I can't put a roof over her head

51
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:59,900
anymore, and we're about to have
our first child Samuel and then 

52
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,400
In 2020, quickly came in and can
anybody remember what happened 

53
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,000
in 2020? 
Well, I think we all can 

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,700
remember what happened in that 
year. 

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,600
So we're living with my mom and 
dad were all cramped were all 

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,800
stuck together. 
For one year we're only able to 

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,000
leave the house once a day and 
me and Emma have basically only 

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
got the clothes on our back but 
I want to tell you something, 

59
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:23,800
even in that difficult year in 
that difficult period of time, 

60
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:27,600
God did something. 
I will never forget someone gave

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,700
me a book called the man God 
Uses by Oswald Smith and in that

62
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:36,900
book, Oswald Smith describes 
something called prayer pacing. 

63
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:40,500
It's this idea where you Pace up
and down in a room or you walk 

64
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,200
in a garden or anywhere to make 
sure that you're able to 

65
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,900
concentrate as you pray. 
And so I decided that I was 

66
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:50,400
going to really seek the Lord's 
face and I was going to try this

67
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,600
thing called prayer pacing. 
And so every morning at 6:30, I 

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,100
made it my goal to walk up and 
down in my parents garden and to

69
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:01,400
pray to the Lord. 
Lord and guys some of you will 

70
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,600
think I'm crazy when I tell you 
this. 

71
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,200
But on those mornings I walked 
with God I knew what it was to 

72
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,400
walk with the Lord God and to 
have a fellowship. 

73
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:15,200
In fact, one morning in 
particular, I remember God's 

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,100
love was so real. 
It was so tangible in front of 

75
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,400
me that if all of the population
of Earth look me in the face and

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,800
said, God doesn't love you, I 
would say to them, you're a liar

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,500
because I know the god of Heaven
loves me to pieces and And what 

78
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:34,500
happened in April, 2020. 
I released one video, it was 

79
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,900
actually, my dad's back Garden 
of all places where I took a ten

80
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,500
pound note and I dipped it in 
pond water. 

81
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,700
And you know what happened? 
That video gained a lot of views

82
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:47,200
in a very short period of time. 
The Lord blessed it mightily, 

83
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,700
and suddenly this big audience 
started watching my videos for a

84
00:04:51,707 --> 00:04:53,600
long time. 
I didn't get many views on my 

85
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,400
videos. 
In fact, I sort of chuckle when 

86
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,600
I hear YouTubers sort of saying,
oh, it took me a full year to 

87
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,300
get 1000. 
Bursley. 

88
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:04,700
It took me 15 months to get my 
first 100 subscribers on 

89
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:07,400
YouTube. 
I really saw a lot of slow 

90
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,200
growth for a long period of 
time. 

91
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,700
So here I am this ordinary 
Street Preacher. 

92
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,700
Who was over the moon when just 
one person would stand and 

93
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:17,000
listen to him when he's 
preaching on the streets and 

94
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,300
suddenly all these people are 
watching my videos. 

95
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:23,700
And then something very sad 
happened all of these gifts at 

96
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:27,900
the Lord, God gave me started to
distract me from the Lord. 

97
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,900
God, if you like I fell in love 
with the guy. 

98
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800
S more than the giver. 
Why do I tell you that story? 

99
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,600
Let's tell it you because when 
my son Samuel was first born 

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,800
when any child is first born, 
the thing they long for the 

101
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,300
thing. 
They Hunger for More Than 

102
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,400
Anything is their mothers. 
Milk and my dear precious 

103
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,300
believer. 
When you first were brought 

104
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,900
forth when the Lord God gave you
new life. 

105
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:53,700
And you were born, there was 
nothing you longed for more than

106
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:57,300
the spiritual milk. 
The Lord Jesus Christ gave you? 

107
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:00,000
But now today is the question 
I've got to ask. 

108
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,800
Who asked you has the devil 
stolen that milk from you and as

109
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,400
he fed you another poison 
because whatever that poison is 

110
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:10,900
you and I have got to be 
prepared to lay aside and to 

111
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:14,400
seek Jesus Christ. 
Again Jesus said, blessed are 

112
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,900
those who hunger and thirst for 
righteousness for they shall be 

113
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:23,000
filled, and Jesus Christ isn't 
talking about a sort of mild 

114
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,600
hunger in England. 
We call it being peckish where 

115
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,400
you just wants a snack to sort 
of satisfy a little urge of 

116
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,900
hunger. 
No jeez. 

117
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:33,300
Is talking about utter 
starvation, where a man, or a 

118
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:36,700
woman is so hungry, they're 
desperate for food. 

119
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:40,200
Like a starving man in a desert.
If you offer them diamonds or 

120
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,700
rubies, that won't satisfy them 
know, they need bread, they need

121
00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:46,500
sustenance. 
And so Christ is talking about a

122
00:06:46,508 --> 00:06:51,300
man or woman who is so hungry. 
Who is so desperate to be filled

123
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,300
with the grace of God, to be 
filled with the righteousness of

124
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,700
Christ, that that person will be
filled. 

125
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:59,900
That person will be satisfied. 
So it bothers me. 

126
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,300
Me it really bothers me that for
such a long time. 

127
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:06,300
How is satisfied with spiritual 
lollipops? 

128
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,800
What happened to the Rachel's of
the Bible, who cried out. 

129
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Give me children or I die. 
She knew what it was that she 

130
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,500
wanted to be a mother and that 
was all that consumed. 

131
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:21,100
Her and yet can we cry out? 
Like Rachel, give me Christ or I

132
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:24,100
die. 
Give me a touch of God today or 

133
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:26,600
I die. 
I can't keep walking through 

134
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,300
this world. 
Just absorbing my selves in the 

135
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:32,600
pleasures of This world 
absorbing myself in trivial 

136
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800
matters, when the god of the 
universe is out there and so 

137
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,100
much. 
I've been contented paddling in 

138
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:42,600
shallow water when there is 
great depths of God to discover 

139
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:46,100
my dear friends. 
Can we not say how I need thee 

140
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,600
every hour? 
I need. 

141
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,300
The I don't just need you. 
Every minute. 

142
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:51,600
I Nev you every second of every 
day. 

143
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,200
How many of you watching this 
video could eat one meal and 

144
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,100
then last for the rest of the 
week on just one meal? 

145
00:07:58,100 --> 00:07:59,900
How many of you watching this 
video could? 

146
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,100
A drink, just one glass of 
water, and then for the rest of 

147
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:07,200
the month, drink nothing else. 
And yet that is how we treat our

148
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,000
spiritual life. 
Just a little drop of the Living

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,500
Water, just a little bit of the 
bread of life. 

150
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:14,800
I just a little nibble and 
that's all I need. 

151
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:16,800
No. 
Every single day, we should be 

152
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,500
continually feeding on the word 
of God because I don't know 

153
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,300
about you. 
But I am not contented anymore 

154
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:25,800
to drink from these broken 
cisterns. 

155
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,500
That do not hold water. 
I want to drink from the water 

156
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:33,299
that the Jesus Christ gives and 
I know you want to drink from 

157
00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:35,900
that water too. 
So what do we need to do? 

158
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:38,799
We need to get a sacrificial 
mindset. 

159
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,900
There's a reason why I use the 
illustration of climbing a 

160
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:45,800
mountain because to seek the 
Lord's face, everyday requires 

161
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,400
effort, it requires discipline. 
He see when your alarm goes off 

162
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,700
in the morning, there's nothing 
your flesh wants more than to 

163
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:54,900
just lie in bed for a little bit
longer. 

164
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:57,500
Just to get another half an hour
of sleep. 

165
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,600
But no, you need to get up and 
you need to study Study the word

166
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,800
of God and seek the Lord's face.
Perhaps mornings don't work for 

167
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,400
you. 
Maybe you really do have to get 

168
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,300
up very early for work. 
So how does this apply to you? 

169
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,200
Well, when you want to come in 
and you want to just watch TV 

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,700
and unwind, no, you need to 
sacrifice that time and say no. 

171
00:09:15,700 --> 00:09:18,000
This time Belongs to the Lord 
God. 

172
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,000
And right now, I'm going to seek
his face. 

173
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,700
But not only that, we need to 
allow God to restructure Our 

174
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,700
Lives. 
I wonder if there's anyone from 

175
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:29,100
Chicago watching this video 
right now. 

176
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,700
If you live in, Cargo you live 
next to one of the most 

177
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:36,700
fascinating rivers in all of the
world, the Chicago River? 

178
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:40,300
Did you know this in the 1800's?
Some really intelligent 

179
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:44,200
engineer's, actually, reversed 
the flow of the Chicago River. 

180
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,700
So, in other words, this River 
now, flows backwards, why did 

181
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:50,300
they do that? 
Because it was a way of flushing

182
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:54,300
out all of the pollution from 
the river and my dear friends, 

183
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:58,400
we need to allow God to flush 
out all of the pollution from 

184
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,800
our lives to reverse Us the flow
of our lives so that way the 

185
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,100
Living Water can flow through 
it. 

186
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,600
But Joe, I'm not sure you 
understand. 

187
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:11,100
I have very little desire to 
serve the Lord Jesus Christ. 

188
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,300
In fact, I have very little 
appetite. 

189
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,200
I have very little hunger for 
him. 

190
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:18,500
Well, let me say this to you, 
maybe you are doubting that you 

191
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:22,000
are a true Christian. 
But if a man, if a man's pulse 

192
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,300
is so faint but it's still there
is that man still alive? 

193
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:29,400
Of course, he is. 
And if there's still a little 

194
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,200
faint Heartbeat that loves the 
Lord, Jesus Christ, take 

195
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,700
courage, you are saved, and you 
just need to strengthen that 

196
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:39,100
heart. 
You need to exercise yourself 

197
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,900
unto godliness that he might 
strengthen you. 

198
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,900
And bring about a new life, a 
new energy, where you really do 

199
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:48,400
hunger and thirst after 
righteousness. 

200
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,400
And again, never forget this to 
lose your appetite isn't 

201
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,200
necessarily a bad thing. 
Sometimes, it can be a warning 

202
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,400
sign that something worse is 
going on. 

203
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,800
That you've got a deadly 
disease. 

204
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:02,900
These that is in factored your 
body and if right now you 

205
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:06,100
haven't got an appetite for the 
things of God, maybe you need to

206
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:10,300
say, this is a warning sign that
I need to start seeking God. 

207
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:13,900
And turning from a particular 
sin that might be robbing me 

208
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:18,000
that might be infecting me from 
my relationship towards God, but

209
00:11:18,008 --> 00:11:21,000
there's one more person I do 
want to speak to and that's the 

210
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,500
man or woman, who has not yet 
given their life to the Lord 

211
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,300
Jesus Christ. 
If that's you, let me read 

212
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:30,200
something from the Bible. 
The book of eyes I see He's 

213
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,300
come. 
All you who are thirsty. 

214
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,300
Come to the waters and you who 
have no money. 

215
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:43,400
Come, buy and eat, come buy 
wine, and milk without money. 

216
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,100
And without cost, can you not 
hear the voice of Christ? 

217
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:51,600
He's calling you right now with 
his arms, open wide. 

218
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,000
He saying, come, come to me and 
eat from the bread of life. 

219
00:11:56,100 --> 00:12:00,600
My body that was broken on the 
cross my body that Had Nails 

220
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,800
driven through my hands and my 
feet. 

221
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,900
I was beat, and I was afflicted.
H mocks out, I was broken there 

222
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,300
so that you might eat of the 
bread of eternal life. 

223
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,800
Can you not hear the voice of 
Christ, calling out to you 

224
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,400
today, come drink of the new 
wine, the blood that was shed, 

225
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,200
my blood that was shed on the 
cross, so that that blood can 

226
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,300
wash away. 
All of your sins, all the wrong 

227
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,700
things you've done, can be 
washed away, and I'll remember 

228
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:30,700
them. 
No more. 

229
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Can you not hear the voice of 
the Lord? 

230
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,700
Jesus Christ crying out to you 
today. 

231
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:42,000
Saying, calm, receive my love, 
my joy, my peace, my 

232
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800
forgiveness. 
My eternal life, receive my 

233
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,100
righteousness today and it's all
free, it will cost you nothing. 

234
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,300
It cost me greatly. 
When I absorbed the wrath of God

235
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,800
in your place, but it won't cost
you a thing. 

236
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,100
And is all you have to do is 
come and receive me. 

237
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:01,900
You see my dear friend, the 
Lord, Jesus Christ to spread out

238
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:04,500
a great banquet and the so much 
food. 

239
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:08,400
The so much drink there to be 
enjoyed and to be relished in. 

240
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,700
But you first have to come sit 
down, humble yourself and eat 

241
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:16,400
with the Lord Jesus Christ. 
Will you do it? 

242
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:18,800
Will you receive Christ Jesus 
today? 

243
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,400
But Joe, there's one thing 
you've forgotten to tell us. 

244
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,100
And it's this, it's all very 
well in telling us to pray 

245
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:26,300
everyday. 
But how do we pray? 

246
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:29,700
Well, if you want to know that, 
you must watch this video here.
