1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,640 All right, so this morning. The Lord put it on our hearts to 2 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,160 talk about abiding, you know, with all the responsibilities 3 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:30,200 that a mother carries, you know, and we, I could make a list and 4 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:38,680 I did make a list. A mother is a nurse a mother. 5 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,480 Is a teacher. A mother is a chef. 6 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,480 Whether you think you're good at it or not. 7 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,280 The kids have to eat. A mother's a guidance counselor. 8 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,840 A mother is a judge. A mother is a cheerleader. 9 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,680 A mother is a housekeeper. A. 10 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,440 Mother is a chauffeur. A. 11 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,720 Mother is a negotiator. A mother is a peacemaker. 12 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,920 A mother is a seamstress. Yes, we all learned how to put 13 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,840 on a button. OK. 14 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,840 An event. Coordinator Oh man A. 15 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,240 Hostess with the mostess. A. 16 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,840 Stylist. A personal assistant. 17 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,280 A referee. And an investigator. 18 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,960 I was good at. That. 19 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,720 A security. Officer, come on. 20 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:57,040 A translator, A photographer, A. Financial Planner. 21 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:06,000 A life coach and an entertainer. Come on, there's so many more. 22 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,520 I could go on with the. List and all of you women say. 23 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,680 But you know one thing that I. Learned in my. 24 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,680 Walk with the Lord. And serving the Lord. 25 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,080 Is that and all the? Responsibilities that a mother 26 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,840 carried and all the things, all the things we have to do 27 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,280 throughout the day, you know, and that's not even the whole 28 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,640 list because if you're married, then you put wife on top of that 29 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,720 and all the list of the wife. So again, there's so many things 30 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,200 that can consume us if we allow it. 31 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,040 But the one thing that I have. Learned that is a must. 32 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,680 In being able to navigate life and that is. 33 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,680 To. Realize that we must. 34 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,520 Be. Women and men that abide in the 35 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:14,080 vine abide in the vine. So I want to talk this morning. 36 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,200 About abiding and go. In a little direction, because 37 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:23,440 in today's society. Like I was saying. 38 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,360 Earlier that that we're. In a whole generation that is 39 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,040 trying to convince. Mothers not to have children, to 40 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,520 abort them, just to not get pregnant, to live their own 41 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,360 life, because having children are they're. 42 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,680 Inconvenient. It's too much. 43 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,720 Work. Again feeding. 44 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,360 It's all about. You that self centeredness that 45 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,520 the. Generation is trying to push and 46 00:03:52,520 --> 00:04:00,520 so you know it's and it's all because being a parent is work. 47 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,200 It's work. It is hard in the natural, but 48 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:15,320 that's why God gave us His Holy Spirit, because He did not want 49 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,880 to just save us so that one day when we die we go to heaven. 50 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:25,640 He saved us to put His Spirit within us, to give us life so 51 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,720 that we can live through this life with His help. 52 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,840 As the. Helper on the inside. 53 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:38,200 Of us. To help us navigate being 54 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,440 whatever it is that we are in the earth. 55 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,640 Amen. And the one. 56 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Thing that I've learned is that if we do not abide in him. 57 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:59,320 Then we will burnout. OK if we do not abide. 58 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,200 In him this has. To be a must. 59 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,400 So let's read our first scripture. 60 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,920 John 15. Four and five, it says. 61 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:13,840 Very nice. Abide in me and I in you. 62 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,920 As the branch cannot. Bear fruit of itself unless it 63 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,160 abides in the vine. So neither can you unless you 64 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,760 abide in me. I am the vine, you are the 65 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,400 branches, and he who abides in me and I in him bears much 66 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,240 fruit. Here's the key. 67 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,280 Apart from me you can do. Nothing. 68 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,440 Amen. You can be seated apart from me. 69 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,520 You can do nothing. So he gives you a clue here. 70 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,240 It's not that you can do. Nothing. 71 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,360 It's not that you can do, He's not saying. 72 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,360 You can't do anything. Plenty of people do many things. 73 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:09,840 But not in him. They do many things but not in 74 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,040 him or what we would like to say as an in Christ reality in 75 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,080 Christ. They don't do it in Christ. 76 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,440 And the thing about it is, is that anything you do that's not 77 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,360 in Christ is useless, is useless, and it's going to. 78 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,920 End up leading to. What death and destruction? 79 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,520 So the goal is as a believer, he's reminding us that we must 80 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,840 abide in him in. Him in the vine. 81 00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:47,360 Who is the Vine? Jesus is the vine. 82 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,960 We are the branches. But look what this word means. 83 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,880 Abide this word. Abide. 84 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,240 Means this. To stay in. 85 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:07,160 Your given place wow to. Stay in your given place. 86 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,760 Isn't this something that reminds us of Genesis? 87 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,760 Chapter 1. When Adam chose to disobey God 88 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,120 and he came down in the cool of the day, he said, Adam, where 89 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,840 are you? What did he say? 90 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,800 What position are you in now? What have what? 91 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,600 How did you get up off your seat? 92 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:42,200 So abide means to stay in a given place, a state relation. 93 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,440 Abide. It means to continue, to dwell, 94 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,600 to endure, to be present. Listen to that, to be present. 95 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,160 It not a lot of what we're hearing about parents today, 96 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,280 they're not present for their children. 97 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,920 And he's saying the and you know why? 98 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,520 Because the only way you're going to be present for your 99 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,720 children is if you're actually present. 100 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:17,040 And for him and abiding in him. So it means to remain or to 101 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,600 tarry for and. To stand. 102 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,240 So when we say abide in the vine, he's telling us that we 103 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,280 must stay in our God-given place or our seat of authority. 104 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,400 We could also stay, say we must to continue to stay in that 105 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,880 seat. We must dwell in that seat. 106 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,040 We must endure in that position or that seat. 107 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,120 Come on, we must be present. We cannot be having God on the 108 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,400 inside of A and disconnected to him, but yet you can. 109 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:04,640 You can be a walking mummy as a born again believer if you are 110 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,520 not acknowledging the Holy Spirit on the inside of you and 111 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:17,160 His work that He wants to do in and through your everyday life. 112 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,160 Because remember, we're to walk by the Spirit. 113 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,480 We're to walk by the Spirit. That means every day, habitually 114 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,200 when you look it up, walking by the Spirit every day. 115 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,000 My life is to be guided by the Spirit. 116 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,000 And the way that I'm going to continue to be guided by the 117 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,320 Spirit is that I must acknowledge the Spirit. 118 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:48,320 I must recognize and be present and abiding with Him every day. 119 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,320 Right. We're going to see a couple of 120 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,520 other. Things in a minute. 121 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,880 So we must recognize that he's saying that we must stay in 122 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,200 connection. With Jesus and that. 123 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:11,120 It is a life giving vital union being attached to the vine. 124 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,760 We are the. Branch and we are. 125 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,680 Attached to the vine and it is our life giving vital union or 126 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:27,040 connection or also it means a continual dependence upon. 127 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,040 Are you acknowledging the Spirit of God everyday living on the 128 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,520 inside of you and realizing that you are in continual dependence 129 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,280 upon his leading those who are the children of God are to be 130 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,800 led by the Spirit of God. Romans, right 8. 131 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,960 Wasn't in my notes, but it's in me. 132 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,040 Those who are children of God are to be led by the Spirit of 133 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,800 God. And this is not just in 134 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,080 religious or spiritual things. This is in every day. 135 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,720 We are to walk by the Spirit, and we're not going to do it if 136 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,800 we're not abiding and staying in our place in that continual 137 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:24,800 connection and vital union and dependence upon Him as our 138 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,560 source. You know the vine is the very 139 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:32,480 thing. Jesus, he says he. 140 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,240 Is the vine and the vine in the natural when you? 141 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800 Look it up scientifically. When you. 142 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,160 Look up the plant. System or whatever trees. 143 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:47,520 And all these things. The vine or is where all the 144 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,680 actual nutrients is running through. 145 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,920 Just like you know, our blood is our life source in our body and 146 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:05,320 it's the same thing in the natural with a living plant, 147 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,200 tree, flower, whatever. It may be right. 148 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:15,480 There is a vital nourishment that is there running from the 149 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,520 actual vine. To the branch. 150 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,320 And the and through that whole. Process scientifically right and 151 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,840 so we have to recognize that he's letting us know that that 152 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,760 is the same type of. Dependency that we need because 153 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,040 you can go on and read John chapter. 15 and verse 5. 154 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,480 Or. All the way through. 155 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,360 One through whatever it is where. 156 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,720 He talks about the vine and the branches and remaining in him 157 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,800 and his. Word if his word. 158 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,960 Remains in you. Right, all the things you can 159 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,880 read that whole thing and realize what he's trying to let 160 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,000 us know is, is that. Our life and. 161 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,600 Source. Our life source Say Jesus is my 162 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,840 life source. It's the very nutrients that you 163 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,960 need every single day to be able to walk this Christian walk. 164 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,800 Out. OK, and do. 165 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,320 It effectively, right, Do it effectively and that's the key 166 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,440 so. We have to recognize. 167 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,080 Our spiritual dependency upon that because he also goes on and 168 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,360 says, what if a branch is cut off? 169 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,640 What happens when the branch gets cut off? 170 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,960 It dries up. Well, you know, you can have the 171 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,960 life of God on the inside of you but choose to disconnect 172 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:51,240 yourself or what some we could also say break fellowship and 173 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,240 over a period of time like I'm going. 174 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,400 To talk about this in a second. Over a period of time, you're 175 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:06,880 going to get dry, brittle and breakable. 176 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,880 I had two trees. I don't know if I already shared 177 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,680 this and some other sermon I think. 178 00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:17,840 Maybe we had two. Trees, oleander trees that we 179 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,240 transplanted in March. We moved, he moved, dug them up 180 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,800 and moved them for me. I just showed him what the spot 181 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:34,280 to put it. But I go out everyday, you know, 182 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,880 I've been. Watering, making sure I'm 183 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,440 watering because we're in a drought and. 184 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,320 Doing all the things but the See, I don't let the. 185 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,520 Leaves freak me out. Because they're all turning 186 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,760 brown and they're all falling off because they were starting 187 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,760 to bloom. Because it was early spring, 188 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,040 but. Everyday I go out. 189 00:14:54,040 --> 00:15:02,640 And I check the limbs to make. Sure, they're still flexible. 190 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,840 Green. The limbs are still green, 191 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,320 they're still flexible, they're still bending that. 192 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,640 What is that? Let me know. 193 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,440 They're still getting nourishment. 194 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,840 They're still getting all the things they need to be able to 195 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:21,200 come back into bloom at some season, right or the next season 196 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,200 because it's not going to die. Because I'm doing all the 197 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,640 necessary things right to keep it watered to keep. 198 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,160 And I'm speaking life over them, you know, see, that's a bonus 199 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,200 bonus that we. Get because we get what we say, 200 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,360 right? But anyway, so I go out to check 201 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,760 the limbs, the branches, to see if they're brittle. 202 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,280 Or not. Because then I would know 203 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,320 they're. Dying on the vine. 204 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000 They're dying on the vine. So all the nourishment and 205 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,360 dependency is going to have to come from us recognizing that we 206 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,200 must. Be. 207 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,560 Dependent and abiding within. Him Amen everyday and it's the 208 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,040 holy. Spirit, the Holy Spirit is the 209 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,960 one that's bringing the life, bringing the refreshment, 210 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,800 because the Holy Spirit, even in the Old Covenant and the New 211 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:32,560 Testament represents water, represents life, represents 212 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,800 refreshing. Anytime you see that's the life 213 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,560 giving flow of the Spirit of God. 214 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,880 That the Spirit brings. OK, refreshing brings water. 215 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,920 Now it can bring fire to burn up some things too. 216 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,800 But I'm not talking. About that today because. 217 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:59,040 It's Mother's Day. But the Holy Spirit, that's his 218 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,280 role is to bring that nourishment or that life giving 219 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:11,440 flow to us that we need and we have to engage and participate 220 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:17,319 and yield to the Spirit of God. And when we begin to abide in 221 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:22,680 Him everyday, knowing that this is a vital union that I have and 222 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:29,760 I must have this nourishment every day in my walk, realizing 223 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,400 it. Is necessary necessary to. 224 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,200 Give me what I need first, John 413. 225 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,920 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because he 226 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,400 has given us of His spirit. Hallelujah. 227 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,320 And this is how. We know we abide in Him because 228 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,680 He's given us the Spirit and the Spirit of God on the inside of 229 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,440 us is always there to bring the supply or the nourishment, 230 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:10,760 whatever it is that we need in our life for that day to 231 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,800 navigate us in the situations and circumstances. 232 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,640 Of life. It's not just about knowing 233 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:26,880 where I'm going when I die, it is about a life lived out for 234 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,200 him every day. A life lived out for him every 235 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,120 day. Look at John. 1417 this. 236 00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,880 Is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot. 237 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,440 Receive. And This is why we ought to be 238 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,160 standing out in the world again. We're going to see the contrast 239 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,960 in a minute. The spirit of truth whom the 240 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,760 world cannot receive because it does not see him or know him. 241 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:57,080 But our eyes has seen what? We've seen the King, we know 242 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,200 him. Come on. 243 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,000 Our eyes have been open to him. We've seen him, we know him. 244 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,520 Come on. But you know him because why? 245 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,840 He abides with you and will be in you. 246 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:19,040 So he's abiding within us to give us every necessary thing 247 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,600 that we need every day in our walk as a believer, as a mother, 248 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,400 as a father, whatever it is, He's there to help give us what 249 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,520 we need. Psalms 9212 through 14. 250 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,880 This is a good one because it that just. 251 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,440 Continues to solidify John 15 it. 252 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,760 Says the righteous man will flourish like the palm tree. 253 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,000 Come on, are you flourishing? The righteous man shall flourish 254 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,080 like the palm tree. He will grow like the cedar of 255 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,080 Lebanon planted. There's another key, but I'm not 256 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,560 focusing on that one. But we sure could. 257 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,920 Planted in the House of the Lord, they will flourish in the 258 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:12,720 courts of God. And they will still yield fruit 259 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,280 in old age. They shall be full of SAP and 260 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,160 very green. They'll be full of SAP and very 261 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,560 green SAP. Is that very thing that we've? 262 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,480 Been talking. About SAP is the thing that's 263 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,480 bringing the nourishment that we need everyday. 264 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,360 Now. The key is we've got to abide in 265 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,760 Him. And another key is we need to be 266 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,240 planted in the House of the Lord. 267 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,600 Come on, not hopping around and skipping and jumping and going 268 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,800 wherever we please, but planted. That means nothing's going to 269 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,640 uproot me from the House of the Lord, where He has come on, 270 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:04,720 planted me and put me in good soil to help me grow. 271 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,200 Come on. So that when I get old, I'm 272 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:14,560 still full of SAP, I'm still full and overflowing of the 273 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,240 Spirit of God and the life of God and the nourishment of God. 274 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:25,520 It's still giving life. So why is this important? 275 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,840 So you don't dry up and become brittle. 276 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,280 And broken. Or even lopped off. 277 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,880 Come on. So that SAP is the thing that. 278 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,600 We're talking about. That is the necessary key that 279 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,480 we're going to be able to receive by abiding and dwelling. 280 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:57,320 In him. Now when you look up that word 281 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,440 also. And talking about abiding and 282 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,640 dwelling, it also has the context. 283 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:12,560 Of fellowship, right? So when we talk about abide 284 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,240 well, how do I abide? Well, you abide in the word 1 285 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,240 you read the word. Right. 286 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:26,880 Two, we pray we spend time abiding or one, when you look it 287 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,960 up in the Greek says in fellowship or. 288 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,440 Communion with the Lord. So when you're reading the word, 289 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,680 you're. Communing with him when? 290 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,440 You're at times of meditating on the word you're. 291 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,160 Communing with him you're. Fellowshipping with him, you're 292 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,840 conversing with him. You're talking to him about 293 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,480 things going on in your everyday life. 294 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,160 Maybe you're having to deal with a teenager, maybe you're having 295 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,000 to deal with a you know, some other type of situation. 296 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000 You're talking and communing with him about the situation you 297 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,480 are in so that you can get the nourishment or the word or 298 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,920 whatever it is that you need to help navigate you in that. 299 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:16,960 Situation and it means. Also the context of. 300 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:23,000 Intimacy. Intimacy when we're. 301 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,400 Abiding and dwelling and communing with Him every day we 302 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,360 are. Being intimate with him. 303 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,720 There's an intimate part of you loving God. 304 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,160 It's just like when people can't say sing that song, my beloved, 305 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,520 like you have a hard time singing my beloved. 306 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,560 You know, women shouldn't just it shouldn't just be easy for. 307 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:53,000 Women to sing that. Because in the body of Christ, 308 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,800 he said, he's coming back for the bride. 309 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,840 And actually right now, you're the bride. 310 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,880 You men are the bride. Just to let you know, we're the. 311 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,920 Bride of Christ. Come on. 312 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,520 So there's an intimacy there that he still. 313 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:19,240 Wants for you. Even as men like you know, you 314 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,120 telling him you love him, That's all that means, my beloved, you 315 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:25,120 know I love. You. 316 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:33,000 Lord, you're my Lord, I love you. 317 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,720 Come on, man. So it's intimacy, it's 318 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,440 participation with him every day. 319 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,240 And another word that uses intercourse. 320 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,920 You are having intercourse with the Lord every day. 321 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,440 That intimacy that means you're abiding in him, you're dwelling 322 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,800 in him, you are spending time with him, making sure you're 323 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,360 present and you're connected to. Him. 324 00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:06,680 Every day, Every day OK in your relationship. 325 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,600 With him, Second Corinthians 1314. 326 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,680 This is the scripture actually, that is talking about that 327 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,600 fellowship with the Holy Spirit in the definitions that I just 328 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,040 gave. You it says the grace of the 329 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,920 Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship. 330 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,160 Of the Holy. Spirit be with you. 331 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,240 And that's what he's talking about there with the. 332 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:39,560 Fellowship of the Holy Spirit. He's talking about intimacy, 333 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,640 he's talking about communion. He's talking. 334 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,760 About that intercourse. He's talking about 335 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,320 participation, he's talking about union and communion with. 336 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,800 Him right here in this scripture. 337 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,920 And. This is what it means When we're 338 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,560 abiding in Him, we are. Spending time with him, right? 339 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:05,280 Communing with him and allowing him to talk and show us the 340 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,080 things that we need to help us in our everyday rest. 341 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,720 And the reason? Why I'm saying this? 342 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,720 Let's. Read Psalms 91. 343 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,080 Psalms. 91 We just have a couple more scriptures and we're almost 344 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:25,680 done. Psalms 91 verse. 345 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,640 One says he. Who dwells one translation says 346 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,080 He who? Abides in the. 347 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:39,360 Shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest say rest 348 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,680 say it. Again, say it. 349 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:48,760 One more time. This is a big word going around. 350 00:26:49,840 --> 00:27:00,600 Rest, rest rest rest. It's a big word. 351 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,320 Big word going around today and he says he. 352 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,400 Who dwells or? Abides in the shelter of the 353 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,440 Most High Will. Remain secure, one translation 354 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,280 says, and will rest. In the shadow of the Almighty, 355 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,000 whose power no enemy can withstand. 356 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:32,560 True rest. Is found abiding only. 357 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,440 True. Rest is. 358 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:42,320 Only found in abiding. And dwelling. 359 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,080 And This is why mothers will get burnt out, mothers will get 360 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,720 frustrated, mothers will feel fatigued, mothers will. 361 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,480 You know, allow their. Feelings to take over. 362 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,240 Come on, mothers. I'm telling you, mothers, this 363 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:08,840 is the key that we must do if we're going to find true rest 364 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:14,360 and not be those that will buy into the lie of you know, I'm 365 00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:15,800 just. Burnt out, I'm just. 366 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,400 Stressed out. I'm just full of anxiety. 367 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,680 I've got all these problems. I've got all these worries. 368 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,880 I've got all this stuff I'm having to do. 369 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,080 I'm a multitasker. I'm a blah, blah, blah, blah, 370 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,720 blah, blah, blah. You just need to quit serving. 371 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:39,160 You need to rest. Big word, big word no. 372 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,800 What you need to do is actually abide. 373 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:50,920 You need to abide. Abide in the vine, abide in the 374 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,840 word of God, abide in communion with the Lord. 375 00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,200 Make sure that no matter what you're doing, you are abiding 376 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,040 first and foremost. And I'm going to tell you, you 377 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,440 may not be able to do it first thing. 378 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,680 When I was a, you know, had all my kids at home, I would wait 379 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,200 till they got their naps and guess what I would do? 380 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,840 I would abide when they were nappy. 381 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:28,120 There is a moment for you throughout your day to abide and 382 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:38,240 if you will abide, you will rest and you don't have to pull back 383 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,760 on doing anything as long as you're doing is that you're 384 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:47,040 doing the necessary things to be responsible with what God has. 385 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,640 Put in your hand to do now. You can be busy. 386 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,400 Doing too many things. About just just too busy because 387 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,480 you just doing everything because you don't. 388 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,040 Want to you don't. Want to abide but I won't. 389 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,840 Go there. Because he might. 390 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:10,440 Actually talk to you. I've done it, been there, done 391 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,080 that. And got the T-shirt. 392 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,640 Stay busy, not abiding because I. 393 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,440 Knew that if I started to abide I would start to hear some 394 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,080 things I must have to do and adjust. 395 00:30:33,170 --> 00:30:38,770 So you have to ask the question. Why are you not abiding? 396 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,360 Because true abiding will bring you true rest. 397 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,320 You won't feel fatigued. You won't feel. 398 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,560 Frustrated. Or you know what? 399 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,400 You may even have these feelings, but you won't let 400 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,560 those feelings control. Your life and dictate your 401 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,680 responses and. Move you off of what? 402 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,320 The word of. God says OK because feelings 403 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,440 will come. Things will come. 404 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,600 But we have authority. To say no, not today, Satan, 405 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,680 Because I've been abiding, right? 406 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,320 I've been abiding. So let's look. 407 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,280 Here at the Situation in Luke 1038. 408 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,560 This is a perfect. Scenario and you know. 409 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,000 What's so awesome about God is He lets us. 410 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,360 He let you. As mothers know, I see you 411 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,160 because this is the thing. I just don't feel hurt or I 412 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,840 don't feel sick. God says I see you. 413 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:46,200 And I. Hear you see, everybody wants to 414 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,560 be. Seen out here. 415 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,560 Or heard out here? And the number. 416 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,160 One goal for my life is I just want to know that He sees me, He 417 00:31:54,160 --> 00:32:02,600 hears me, and the rest come on. Because that's all that matters 418 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:09,640 to me is that I am seen and heard by the King of Glory, the 419 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,560 one who sits on the throne, Amen. 420 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,760 And who will give me everything I need? 421 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,720 Hallelujah. So Luke 1038 and 42. 422 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,640 He sees you and he hears you. Mama, listen, it says. 423 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,760 Now while they were on their way, Jesus entered the village 424 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,000 called Bethany, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into 425 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,040 her home, going straight to the houses. 426 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,120 And she had her. Sister. 427 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,040 Yeah. You know Martha and Mary 428 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,160 sisters. Sisters who? 429 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:48,680 Seated herself at the Lord's feet and was continually what, 430 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:54,960 listening to his teachings, But Martha was very Here's the key, 431 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:04,720 busy and distracted with all of her serving responsibilities. 432 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:06,840 You see that? Come on. 433 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,840 And she approached him and said, Lord, is it not of no concern to 434 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,400 you that my sister, I mean, she's going and like. 435 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,400 Tattling on her sister. To the Lord Jesus. 436 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,560 You know, I just think this is so funny. 437 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:32,640 I'm glad I. Didn't have a sister and and so 438 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,640 anyway and. So here she is. 439 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,120 Go in what? I'll get distracted with what 440 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:45,480 I'm saying. So that very busy distracted all 441 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,720 of her serving response. She approached him and said, 442 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,520 Lord, is it not of any concern to you that my sister has left 443 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,480 me to do all the serving alone? Tell her to help me and do her 444 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,000 part. Doesn't this sound like the 445 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,800 judge that? We as mothers. 446 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,760 Have to be. When I tell them to go take out 447 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,120 the trash or do the dishes or whatever. 448 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,080 Well, what are they going to do? All right, verse 41. 449 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,440 But the Lord replied to her. Martha, Martha, are you worried 450 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,880 and bothered? And anxious about so many 451 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,199 things. You're worried you're bothered. 452 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:27,840 And anxious about so many things, but do. 453 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:33,239 You know what he said, but only. One thing is necessary. 454 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,880 So all these. Mamas that get on. 455 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:44,679 You know, all these posting social medias griping about 456 00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:49,840 their life, you know, talking about how horrible it is and how 457 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,520 busy everything and how anxious. I mean, you name it, they say 458 00:34:54,520 --> 00:35:00,040 it. Here is the answer, right here, 459 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,320 right here in the word of God, right here. 460 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,280 He sees you and he hears you, and he gives us. 461 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:15,160 The answer, he said. One thing is necessary. 462 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:21,920 For Mary has chosen what the good part which will not be 463 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:29,200 taken away from her. Now what you need is to abide. 464 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,360 If you're feeling anxious, you're feeling worried, you're 465 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,840 feeling overburdened, you're feeling all these things as a 466 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,480 mother come on, or as an individual in Christ. 467 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,040 You're letting all these things worry you. 468 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:49,840 Are you abiding in the vine Because it's the one answer. 469 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,720 And the one thing you need. It's all you need. 470 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,880 It's the answer. It's the key right here. 471 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:07,640 He's lets us know we must. Do the necessary thing. 472 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,200 She sat. In her position on. 473 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,680 Her. Her. 474 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,880 Knees. Before the Lord, she sat. 475 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,360 In her position, she. Stayed. 476 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,600 In her. Seat She sat right there and 477 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,680 what else did she do? She. 478 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:32,640 Postured herself. To be intentional, we have to 479 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,600 be. Intentional to be. 480 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:41,280 Present and to be in the position to abide in Him every 481 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,480 day. We have to be intentional and so 482 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,760 she. Said in her seat postured 483 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,760 herself. I like to. 484 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,080 This is what I said, she said in her. 485 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,960 Position and her seat. She postured herself to be 486 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,800 nourished. With the life flowing. 487 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,200 Words of the. Lord Jesus himself, that very 488 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:12,040 moment, that SAP was flowing. The SAP. 489 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,840 Was flowing and she postured. Herself and said, wait a minute, 490 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,800 I must get in my seat, I must get in my. 491 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,280 Seat so that that. Flow can start. 492 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,000 Come on, flowing on me. Glory to God, so. 493 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:38,400 It's the one thing we need, and Jesus recognized it and clearly 494 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,920 explained it right. There in that scripture. 495 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,040 But not. Only did he do that. 496 00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:49,880 He also in Matthew. 11 Matthew 11. 28 through 30 he says this. 497 00:37:50,800 --> 00:38:00,040 Come to me, Come to me. All who are weary. 498 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,040 And heaven let heavy laden and I. 499 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:14,680 Will give you what? Come to me, come to me. 500 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,160 Come abide, Come dwell. Come pull up your seat. 501 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,840 Let's commune, let's spend time together. 502 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,360 Let's read the word. Let me give you that life 503 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,320 flowing nourishment that you need in the very moment that 504 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:37,960 you're feeling overloaded, burned out, anxious, stressed, 505 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,000 overworked. Come on, all the things he says 506 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,600 just. Come on to me. 507 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,920 Come unto me, all who are weary when you look at that word, 508 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,720 weary. It literally means those who 509 00:38:57,720 --> 00:38:59,960 grow weary. Who grow? 510 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:08,720 Tired and exhausted with. Toil or the burdens the. 511 00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:17,120 Labor of weariness or effort. To toil, bodily labor, all the 512 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:22,240 things that we do throughout the day as a parent, as a mother, as 513 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:27,840 a father, as a leader, whatever it may be, whatever profession 514 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,840 you may be in. He's letting us know, listen, 515 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,880 the one thing you need so that these things don't happen, so 516 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,720 that you don't become worrisome, though, that you don't become 517 00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:41,560 anxious, so that you don't become burdened down or heavy 518 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:46,040 laden with the things that he knows we're going to have to 519 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,800 walk through through in this earth every day. 520 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:54,600 He says the one thing you need to do is just come to me and 521 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,400 abide. Come to me. 522 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,280 I'm. Ready to actually give you rest 523 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,880 in what it is that. You are looking for. 524 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,320 You see that I want to say this rest. 525 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,160 Is not inactivity. But it is. 526 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,760 Dependence upon the life of Christ. 527 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:31,800 Rest is not inactivity. It is dependent upon the life of 528 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,320 Christ, the life of Christ, the Spirit of Christ that's living 529 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,520 and dwelling on the inside of you. 530 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,480 That is where true REST. Will come through. 531 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:47,640 To us, if we'll just. Come to him when we're in these 532 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,960 positions. And sit at his feet. 533 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,800 Dwell in His presence. Commune with him. 534 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,000 Spend. Time with him, OK? 535 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:05,200 Striving without abiding leads to exhaustion. 536 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:16,280 Striving without abiding leads. To exhaustion, so the. 537 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,960 Reason why you're exhausted is because you're. 538 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:28,360 Not abiding and actually we could go even further. 539 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,240 I didn't even have this in my scripture but it the Holy Ghost 540 00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:36,240 just brought it up about the virgins with their lamps being 541 00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:44,440 full. If you're burning out, it's 542 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,880 because you're not keeping the oil flowing or the SAP going, 543 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:55,360 and it's simply because we're not abiding, we're not dwelling, 544 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,240 we're not spending time with the Lord that we need to. 545 00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:03,160 Do to be able. To do all the things necessary 546 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,200 that He is asking of us to do. He anointed us. 547 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,280 He anointed us. I have told many mothers. 548 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,280 This in counseling meetings you are anointed. 549 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:24,400 To be their mother, tap.
