00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,400
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith. 

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,800
Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:20,900
Now, enjoy this message. 
Don't know the first 

4
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:25,600
Thessalonians chapter 4. 
Back in November almost a year 

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,200
ago. 
This message came up in my 

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,200
spirit, I actually did not take 
Tom to see when I ministered it 

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,800
to the church. 
I minister to our staff and 

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,900
November of last year and then I
prompt might have been into this

9
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,800
year at some point that we spoke
along these lines. 

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,800
But it sure seemed like I needed
to bring this up again tonight, 

11
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:50,000
in some in a direction 
concerning Seasons. 

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,100
I was actually traveling home 
and had call my daughter. 

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,200
And we were talking on the phone
about the season wherein and she

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,300
says, you know, out of all 
because she'd been with me from 

15
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,100
the beginning you know, from her
beginning. 

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,600
But she's been with me from the 
beginning to make her a church 

17
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,800
and you know she's gone through 
Seasons with us and she says you

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,700
know, this season seems the most
unique seems the the most 

19
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:19,700
different than any season we've 
ever been him as a church. 

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,200
I said yeah, I would agree with 
that because This season 

21
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:28,700
launched into some things based 
upon us signing on a mall. 

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,200
And once we signed on the mall, 
just prior to that, we received 

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,500
this particular word signed on 
the mall and then we deliver 

24
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,000
this word out of these couple 
verses we're going to talk about

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,800
and then we're going to launch 
into some other things and it 

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,700
kind of put us in this we're 
just in this place, all of us 

27
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:51,000
corporately and you know, if you
have came on and have become a 

28
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,800
vision partner rank of a church,
Actually, what you're saying is 

29
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,200
you're a part of this field. 
Now, the many you get become a 

30
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,600
part of the field, that means 
you're going to go through the 

31
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,100
same things that the rest of the
field goes through. 

32
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,199
All right. 
Now, if you've ever gone, you 

33
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,700
know, driving down the road, 
specially here in the State of 

34
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,500
Florida, you know, we have tree 
farms and those tree farms are 

35
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,400
typically pine trees. 
And you know you driving buying 

36
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,100
see, they plant them things in 
rows and then at some point 

37
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:23,600
they'll Harvest those trees, 
right. 

38
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,600
But you notice, you know, if you
ever noticed those particular 

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,200
fields, Pine trees are not all 
the same size. 

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,300
You would kind of go they be a 
certain size and they may grow 

41
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:32,900
more. 
Why? 

42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,300
Because the farmer plants them 
in stages because obviously once

43
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:39,900
the Harvest is one, he wants to 
be in a few years made a 

44
00:02:39,908 --> 00:02:41,200
harvest. 
Another one because I think it 

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,100
takes about 15 years of 
Harvard's, pine tree. 

46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,600
I may be mistaken, but that just
came to my mom, but I think 

47
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,600
that's about the time frame. 
And so, you know, you want to be

48
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,300
able to kind of have things 
continually being Harvest. 

49
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,800
You know, you don't wait 15 
years every year before you get 

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,800
a harvest in and so, but What 
he's doing, what those farmers 

51
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,900
are doing in one field, a more 
mature pine trees. 

52
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:08,100
He's doing in the ones that are 
you know, what we would consider

53
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,100
babes or saplings, so to speak, 
right? 

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,000
So again, whatever care he's 
doing for mature one. 

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,900
He still may have to do, he 
still has to do certain care for

56
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:18,800
even the younger ones. 
So the minute you get planted 

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,300
here then you come into our 
season. 

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,700
So what's coming on? 
You're going to become a part 

59
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:31,700
of, in the realm of the spirit, 
are you hearing me now? 

60
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:36,100
The good news is, is if you come
in and you allow God to do what 

61
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:40,300
he's doing in that season, it 
will Propel you because at the 

62
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:44,700
end of the day you're going to 
get in the season seasons are 

63
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:47,200
inevitable. 
Are you hearing me? 

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,400
The Lord said himself in the old
Tim he said until the Earth 

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,000
remains seedtime and harvest. 
See, Tom is a season Harvest. 

66
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,900
The season until the Earth 
remains seedtime and harvest. 

67
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:04,300
So it's that way with us 
spiritually as well. 

68
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,300
We go through Seasons. 
All right, we're going to talk 

69
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:10,400
about that tonight but in 1st 
Thessalonians, chapter 4 verse 

70
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,200
1. 
It says this Paul talking to the

71
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,000
church and he's admonishing the 
church, he's encouraging the 

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,500
church. 
He said, finally them Brethren, 

73
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,399
I'll get again, he's talking to 
the church, we request and 

74
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,700
exhort you in the Lord Jesus 
that as you receive from us, 

75
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:28,100
instruction. 
As to how you ought to walk. 

76
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:32,300
And please God just as you 
actually do walk, notice, he's 

77
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:34,800
saying you and receive this 
instruction on how you ought to 

78
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,800
walk. 
And please God to please God, 

79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,700
there's only one way, right? 
Because we know Hebrew says, 

80
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:44,300
it's impossible to please God 
without. 

81
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:48,900
So when he says how to walk and 
please God, that conversation is

82
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,900
how you are to live out your 
righteous life, your behavior 

83
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,800
how it should be governed. 
By the word, which means when 

84
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,800
people see you walk, when they 
see your lifestyle, it should be

85
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,300
a reflection of God, but not 
only that, they should see you 

86
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:07,800
pleasing God because they should
see your fate. 

87
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,100
All right? 
So you should walk away and have

88
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:19,200
a belief system and he says, and
you're doing it. but, He's 

89
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,100
asking that you Excel still 
more. 

90
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,300
So it's not enough that we 
arrive to a place that we are 

91
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:30,100
having the right behavior and 
manner of living. 

92
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:36,800
And we are exercising faith, we 
can still Excel still more right

93
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:41,000
in first that's you drop down to
verse 9 in this same chapter 9 

94
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,800
and 10 it says it this way. 
Now as to the love of the 

95
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,200
Brethren, you have no need for 
anyone to write to you for you 

96
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,100
yourselves are taught by God. 
Hard to love one another. 

97
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,300
So he's seeing their loved 
walking, here's the thing Faith 

98
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:55,900
worketh by. 
I mean, if you're not walking in

99
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:59,500
the love of God, then Your 
Righteous life is whole. 

100
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:03,500
It is a clanging cymbal. 
You understand? 

101
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:09,100
Your faith is a clanging cymbal.
Right because First Corinthians,

102
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:12,500
13 talks about, you could have, 
you could do all these 

103
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,900
particular actions that are in 
behavior and in faith. 

104
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:17,800
But if you don't have love, it's
nothing. 

105
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,300
So they're doing it. 
But he's like, you're doing this

106
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,100
love and this love, you're 
walking in. 

107
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:25,400
It's not like someone came and 
gave an instruction, you 

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,100
obviously, because you're off, 
you're walking in it by the 

109
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,900
spirit of God himself. 
You know, what that tells me, 

110
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,100
you, we already know that 
anything, you know about God. 

111
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:44,100
Is because the holy spirit in 
you revealed it now God uses the

112
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:47,600
fivefold ministry to bring 
instruction and pull things out 

113
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400
to develop in equip Us. 
In fact you won't get to a level

114
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,300
of equipping without them, but 
we also know this if no voice 

115
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:58,300
was in your life and you were 
full of the Holy Ghost, that's 

116
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:01,900
enough. 
So you're you can't have the 

117
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:07,900
excuse well, no one's taught me.
Are you hearing me because the 

118
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:11,200
Holy Ghost will instruct you? 
You can be in places that teach 

119
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,800
the word and the Holy Ghost will
say. 

120
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,200
That ain't right. 
He'll say that if it's not 

121
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,400
right, he'll say that's right, 
take that at the end of the day,

122
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,100
he's the revealer of the truth 
man. 

123
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:25,200
You got to receive it to 
yourself and he's like 

124
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,200
acknowledging as far as the love
of God and walking in love 

125
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,300
towards, not listen not towards 
God. 

126
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,400
You have no one to write you for
yourselves are taught by God to 

127
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,200
what love one. 
Another, this one at your site, 

128
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,500
we love God. 
This is a church that I love him

129
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:45,700
and I love her and I love them 
and we walking in love, we don't

130
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:48,000
get offended and if we do we get
over it. 

131
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,400
Right, we get over it. 
So he's seeing this love in the 

132
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,600
church. 
It's like awesome. 

133
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,900
He's for indeed, you practice it
towards all the Brethren who are

134
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:02,500
in Macedonia. 
He said, but I urge you Brethren

135
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,000
to what? 
Man? 

136
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,800
Excel still more. 
So the first thing that we have 

137
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,300
to begin to do because of what 
Paul said to this church which 

138
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:14,900
applies to us. 
And if we read a lot of his 

139
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:17,900
Pauline Epistles, he actually 
talks especially in the subject 

140
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:19,800
of love that our love would 
abound more and more and more, 

141
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,000
and more that we would get a 
height depth length. 

142
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Stubb love. 
I mean it would just like keep 

143
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,000
growing. 
He was always talking about 

144
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,700
Revelation knowledge. 
Well the mention get Revelation 

145
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:31,200
knowledge, you should be acting 
on that which means now you're 

146
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,200
living by faith. 
And what you're living out now 

147
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,000
is the behavior of that. 
So these things should be 

148
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,500
constant in our lives but too 
often I don't know why it is in 

149
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,200
Christianity. 
Is that we want to arrive to a 

150
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,600
plateau and stay like Coast To 
Heaven? 

151
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:51,900
Well, you can't coach to heaven.
I said you can't Coast. 

152
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,500
You're either moving forward and
moving backwards. 

153
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,300
One of the other, there's only 
one posture and is still a 

154
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:03,000
forward posture. 
When you've done all to stand 

155
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,800
stand and that's active because 
you're in faith, believing and 

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,400
you're not get being pushed 
back, but you're pressing 

157
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,100
forward. 
Now, you may not have no 

158
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:14,700
movement, right? 
That's why I says, when you've 

159
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:19,400
done all to stand stand, why? 
Because we are pressing against 

160
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,400
what is saying this won't work, 
but at the end, it will break 

161
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:26,100
and I will go forward and have 
what it That were saying. 

162
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:28,700
All right? 
So make no mistake about in the 

163
00:09:28,708 --> 00:09:32,500
stand is That's what it's 
looking like. 

164
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:36,000
We're pressing against whatever 
that obstacle is is got to move,

165
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,300
eventually it's getting out of 
the way and we're going to go on

166
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:43,200
and keep moving forward. 
All right, if we're not doing 

167
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,800
that then we're digressing. 
We're digressing, we are 

168
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,600
backsliding. 
I said, we're backsliding. 

169
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,200
We have to maintain the exercise
of Faith but we can Excel still 

170
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,200
more. 
You know, I found out this 

171
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,600
weekend are today that both of 
our Washington teams won 

172
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,700
yesterday. 
Yeah. 

173
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:07,800
Yeah. 
They're dominating. 

174
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,200
I mean, we're not talking about 
winning. 

175
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:13,300
We're talking about Winnie, 
like, I like to win leave. 

176
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:16,000
No doubt. 
These games are not for the 

177
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,300
faint-hearted. 
Okay? 

178
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:22,400
So again, if you're a parent, 
Only opposing team and you don't

179
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,200
like your child to get beat down
then don't sign them up. 

180
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,000
Right. 
You said pastor Earle that's not

181
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,800
good. 
Sportsmanship Jesus wept and 

182
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,900
strip the devil of his power so 
bad. 

183
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,300
Now, it ain't like getting your 
face. 

184
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:41,200
You're a loser. 
We're not talking like that. 

185
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,500
We have sportsmanship. 
But to Ally, we're not going to 

186
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:50,300
keep playing. 
We going to play the game. 

187
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,700
We're not gonna sit on the cord 
and dribble around forever just 

188
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:58,400
so that we going to make shots, 
we going to keep pressing, 

189
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,800
right? 
Because at the end of day, if 

190
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,900
someone done it on us, good. 
I mean why would I hinder them 

191
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:09,100
from playing the game? 
Just go ahead and take the beat 

192
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,900
down, learn from it. 
Let's go on if that's how it is.

193
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:15,400
A righteous man get knocked down
seven times but he what he gives

194
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,100
up a girl's got knocked down the
first game and it wasn't even a 

195
00:11:19,108 --> 00:11:22,500
bad loss and in one sense but it
was bad for us. 

196
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,400
We'll get that one back. 
So maybe you're just about 

197
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,600
winning. 
No, I'm about doing your best. 

198
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,000
Period. 
I can't guarantee our teams will

199
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,100
win but if they do then that's 
just a reflection of God. 

200
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,000
We going to be like God leave. 
No doubt. 

201
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:48,400
Okay. 
But my point is is that when you

202
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,800
start developing a reputation of
winning, Right. 

203
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:56,100
Number one. 
Everybody wants to knock you 

204
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:59,300
off. 
Right there you really. 

205
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:01,900
You get hated for winning. 
This is why I never have a 

206
00:12:01,908 --> 00:12:04,500
problem with the champion. 
You know. 

207
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,200
They aren't you tired of seeing 
Alabama that? 

208
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,700
No never, if they're in it there
it. 

209
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:11,900
What do you want me to do? 
If you don't want the guy in it 

210
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:15,900
beating I need a beating. 
If you don't want the New 

211
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:19,700
England Patriots when they were 
on that run Beetle at the end of

212
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:22,900
the day, just Beetle. 
What can I say? 

213
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
I never have a problem because I
never feel sorry. 

214
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,900
Every time we beat the devil. 
I never feel sorry. 

215
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:34,200
I don't I don't want to ease up 
one, you know I think Believers 

216
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,100
he's up because they feel bad 
for the devil. 

217
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,500
It's amazing. 
How will take not natural 

218
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:44,700
mentalities into spiritual 
things though? 

219
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,900
And how do I know this? 
Because Paul is talking to a 

220
00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:51,600
church man. 
You guys got it going on but 

221
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,600
you'll never maintain this 
level. 

222
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,400
Unless you make keep pressing. 
The thing that's so amazing 

223
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,700
about some of the coaches and 
again, we talked about Alabama 

224
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:08,900
but that's nothing compared to 
that one Yukon coach, you know, 

225
00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:13,500
he ran. 
I mean, so many seasons of just 

226
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:17,600
dominating and dominating and 
dominating and winning and 

227
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,500
winning. 
I mean, I think he went like I 

228
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,600
have this dish that I told him 
to our staff one day. 

229
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:26,100
Like 100-something. 
I mean I mean hundreds of games 

230
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,500
before he lost. 
It's amazing. 13 years was it 

231
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:38,300
just dominate. 
Dominate they show up on the 

232
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,600
court, your intimidate, you know
everybody wants to beat them. 

233
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600
But again, what did he get in 
the psyche? 

234
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,800
That they were able to keep the 
intensity. 

235
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:53,400
To be that consistently 
dominant. 

236
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800
I'm talking with different 
people which means he was able 

237
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,200
to Rally them around a vision 
and a philosophy that he can 

238
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,200
always get different players 
year after year after year and 

239
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,300
still get the same result. 
Well, that's what God expects us

240
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:08,900
to do that. 
He's going to give us principles

241
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:14,600
but we keep the intensity. 
To want to be able to say I can 

242
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,200
do that better. 
I can be quicker at that. 

243
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:20,500
I can be more assertive 
attentive. 

244
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:22,600
Whatever the case may be. 
When it comes to the things of 

245
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,500
God we have to do self 
evaluations and where we 

246
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:31,900
evaluate ourselves is when a 
season changes Now you're going 

247
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:35,600
to make tweaks within Seasons, 
but man, when you get between 

248
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,000
two seasons, there's a lot that 
takes place because again in the

249
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,400
realm of Athletics, we have when
The Season's end and they call 

250
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,400
it the offseason, a lot of guys 
where there is no offseason, but

251
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,300
there is an off season obviously
because you're not in the game. 

252
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,200
In fact, some of the coaches are
learning now that they don't 

253
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,600
want to pull their main players 
out at the end of the season, 

254
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,400
because when they take them out 
of the rotation and rest them 

255
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,600
for the playoffs, they're not. 
Sharp in the first player and 

256
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,600
they're losing because they took
them out. 

257
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,600
So they avoid injury. 
But the mindset of being in the 

258
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,000
game but then you take off a 
little bit, then you got to try 

259
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,200
to reinsert that intensity is 
becoming a challenge. 

260
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:19,000
I believe that we're going to 
see a lot of stuff in the 

261
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,100
college football realm. 
Now that maybe some of these 

262
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:24,300
smaller programs that aren't 
being recruited as well, but 

263
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:27,800
those guys are going to go from 
freshman to a senior or going to

264
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,600
start knocking off bigger 
programs. 

265
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Because so many of those bigger 
programs are going to be doing 

266
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,500
constant recruiting, and so many
recruit athletes are going to be

267
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:39,900
moving around the system so much
because the way Is because 

268
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:42,700
there's something about when 
people come together and unify, 

269
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,300
how do we know this? 
Because even the Lord when 

270
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:48,500
rebellion was in the earth and 
they decided we going to build 

271
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:51,100
us a tower. 
So that when God floods again, 

272
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:54,600
he can't kill us. 
That was the intent and he said 

273
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,800
they have set their mind 
together in unity and there's 

274
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,700
nothing they can't accomplish. 
Even if it was ungodly. 

275
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,700
So, I know. 
So because they were rebelling 

276
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:13,500
against God's order, he changed 
the language and then they 

277
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:15,800
couldn't communicate. 
And when communication was cut 

278
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,600
off, Unity was cut off, right? 
So, the enemy always wants to 

279
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,700
cut you off from your 
communication with the Lord and 

280
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:26,100
his church so that you don't 
stay unified and stay strong. 

281
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,900
And Paul knew. 
Now, listen, just because you've

282
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,000
seen the exploits of God. 
You got to maintain intensity 

283
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,600
because you're going to go into 
another season. 

284
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,300
And in between seasons in is 
where you go back and do a 

285
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,700
evaluation of an old season to 
determine what you don't take 

286
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:48,500
into the new one. 
Now, let's pick up a season in 

287
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:51,200
Joshua chapter 5 and Joshua 
chapter 5. 

288
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,500
We see a season occur that is a 
season in one sense delayed. 

289
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,600
This is, here's the thing we see
Seasons, you know, wheat, when 

290
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,300
we hear season, we typically 
think of them in the realm of 

291
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:08,300
whether right, which in Florida,
you know, we basically have two 

292
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:11,900
seasons Right? 
We, we boast are two seasons 

293
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,200
summer a little winner and then 
bam. 

294
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,599
Summer clothes. 
Anything cold is winter to us. 

295
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:22,700
I know technically our season 
for Alaska is always fall but 

296
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:27,099
it's never that with us. 
It is freezing cold winter? 

297
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,700
When it's that way, right? 
But some of you have lived into 

298
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:34,900
those places that have all four 
seasons, we understand. 

299
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:38,800
There is a gradual change in 
between them, but, you know, not

300
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,800
so gradual that, you know, boom,
we're in the season but some 

301
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,700
Seasons spiritually. 
Speaking can have some length to

302
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:49,900
it. 
You know, we are getting built 

303
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:51,800
to want to just go to the next 
season. 

304
00:17:54,500 --> 00:18:00,400
And God is Not on your timeline.
God's not on your Tom lat, he's 

305
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,500
not obligated to get you. 
So I just want to kind of set 

306
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,500
this up in this context in 
Joshua chapter 5. 

307
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,500
Okay, we're going to start in 
verse 2. 

308
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:10,200
It says, at that time of just 
going to read to you. 

309
00:18:10,208 --> 00:18:12,700
And then I'm going to give you a
little back story at that time. 

310
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,200
The Lord said to Joshua make for
yourselves, Flint knives and 

311
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,700
circumcised. 
Again the sons of Israel, the 

312
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:25,000
second time now they have been 
slaves you know for 400 

313
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,600
something years for him, 32 
years, I believe it was Moses 

314
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,500
went. 
Liver the people got them out of

315
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:31,900
Egypt through the Red Sea Into 
the Wilderness. 

316
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,000
Brought them down to the 
promised land. 

317
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:39,800
At that point, he allowed 12 
Spies to go in spy out the 

318
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,200
promised land you know to come 
and give him the report on how 

319
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,400
they're going to take it instead
of them telling them how we're 

320
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,100
going to take it 10 of them says
we can't take it. 

321
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,700
Guess the whole congregation all
jacked up and in disbelief and 

322
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,700
won't do it, you know continue 
to strengthen their hard-hearted

323
00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:58,700
rebellious lives, right? 
The mentality. 

324
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:01,800
See, they didn't leave their 
slave mentality in the old 

325
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,700
season. 
And came into a conqueror 

326
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:09,500
mentality in, when they got out 
on the other side of the Red Sea

327
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:13,500
because they fail to drop a 
mentality and one season and 

328
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,600
bring it into another season, it
affected That season. 

329
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:23,300
See, you can't keep thinking the
same way season to season. 

330
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,700
Now, I'm not saying you can't, 
thank God. 

331
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,500
What I'm saying, is, you'll have
to fine-tune that thought 

332
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,600
because Seasons that we go into 
are always about cutting 

333
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,500
something off. 
From the last one so that we can

334
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:38,600
bear better fruit in the new 
one. 

335
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:44,300
Are you hearing me now? 
Those who did who didn't cut off

336
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:50,300
the slave mentality? 
Of Egypt rebelled against the 

337
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:52,900
word of God says we're not able 
to do it. 

338
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:57,200
And the Lord says fine. 
I won't take you, then. 

339
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,900
I'm not gonna take you if that's
what you want, that's what 

340
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:06,100
you'll get. 
So what's going to take place? 

341
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:10,800
You are going to wander around 
in this land for 40 years until 

342
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,200
all of you die off since you 
blame me for your kids done. 

343
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,800
For your desk, for your kids, 
done over into this land, that I

344
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,300
promised you a land flowing with
milk and honey that you saw 

345
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:26,200
would be. 
And instead of you going in 

346
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,300
there and close, the Wilderness 
is that was just a transition, 

347
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:33,800
they were never to spend a 
season. 

348
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:38,100
Excuse me in the wilderness, 
that was never the intent. 

349
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:39,800
You understand people say, well,
I'm just in the wilderness 

350
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,900
season. 
You're in a problem because a 

351
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:46,100
Wilderness season is never a 
season. 

352
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:54,400
Wilderness is a transition. 
When people preach man, were 

353
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,900
just in our Wilderness season, 
you are in trouble because that 

354
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:01,600
is just to go through. 
And if you're in a Wilderness 

355
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,100
season you need to ask. 
Why is it something I'm doing? 

356
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,600
That's hinder me from going in. 
Or is it something somebody else

357
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,400
is doing? 
Because for the kids it wasn't 

358
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:17,000
their fault that they got stuck 
40 years. 

359
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,200
In a transition. it was the 
parents problems and as a result

360
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,400
of that, it fell back on the 
children and now they have to be

361
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:35,400
stuck in a transition now for 40
years, In that transition is all

362
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,900
about teaching and they did, he 
didn't try to teach them 

363
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:40,300
something different, you 
understand, he began to teach 

364
00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:44,100
them within the first three days
of what to learn in the 

365
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:47,500
transition. 
Man, we hungry. 

366
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:49,000
Why we have thirsty. 
We need something to drink. 

367
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,100
We need some drinks. 
Okay, I get you some water. 

368
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,500
We're hungry now. 
No problem. 

369
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,700
I'm going to get you some bread 
and what'd he say it was there 

370
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:59,400
to teach them? 
Man shall not live on bread 

371
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,900
alone, but out of every word 
that proceeds out of the mouth 

372
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:05,300
of God and if they learned that 
in that little transition, 

373
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:07,100
within a month, they have been 
in the Promised Land. 

374
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:15,400
But unfortunately, they did not 
and it caused a whole generation

375
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,100
to be stuck in a transition 
period. 

376
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:24,000
But learning the same lesson. 
I've said here to learn the same

377
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,800
lesson and you know, what goes 
on, here's what, here's what so 

378
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,600
deceptive about people who live 
in, what are the seasons? 

379
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:34,800
Is your clothes, don't wear out,
there's Provisions still being 

380
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,100
handed to you. 
God still blessing you. 

381
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:46,100
But it's not his fullness. 
See, I don't want to stay in a 

382
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:51,300
transition period because it is 
God still taking care of me, but

383
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,700
it's not where he wants to take 
me. 

384
00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:59,500
So I want to go through it. 
I want to learn what you're 

385
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:01,400
talking about. 
I want to cut off, when I need 

386
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,500
to cut off, I want to get rid of
what I need to get rid of, and I

387
00:23:04,508 --> 00:23:07,100
want to get into the next one 
because I don't want to be in 

388
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:10,200
the place of. 
Because, again, transition is US

389
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,300
leaning heavily on the word of 
God to navigate our steps, his 

390
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:15,900
word. 
Lamp unto our feet, a light into

391
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:18,100
our path. 
We're navigating because then we

392
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:22,600
get into the next season and now
that word is opening up all 

393
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,300
these things that by faith, 
we're taking possessions of 

394
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:27,700
things. 
And we're fighting a good fight 

395
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:29,900
of Faith over there. 
So that transition is about 

396
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:32,900
hearing God's word to get into 
the next place. 

397
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,500
And he'll protect me during that
time, but he wants to get me 

398
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:39,900
over. 
Okay, so Joshua now has wandered

399
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:42,200
around the Wilderness for 30-40 
years. 

400
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800
With this group of kids. 
He's now the leader because Was 

401
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,700
Moses has made a mistake and 
can't get in himself and so now 

402
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:51,000
he's the leader. 
And now, God is saying, listen, 

403
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:55,000
we're bringing y'all win to the 
promised land that these kids 

404
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,900
have heard for 40 years that 
they couldn't do it. 

405
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,400
And then watch their parents 
die. 

406
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,600
The same walls over there. 
The same Giants are over there. 

407
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,700
They her for 40 years. 
The why they did it? 

408
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:13,900
What? 
Weren't in now? 

409
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,300
So they've had a story spoken to
them, that's why this Joshua is 

410
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:26,000
opens up and he says, be strong 
and very courageous. 

411
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,800
Do not be afraid. 
He's telling job, don't be 

412
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,600
afraid be strong crazy. 
Why do we gonna say this to the 

413
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,800
people? 
And so he may get a similar 

414
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,700
experience. 
They come across the Jordan at 

415
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:43,700
flood stage to come into the 
promised land. 

416
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,600
Much like they went across the 
Red Sea impossible, but Man, 

417
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,500
lifted up a staff and the 
waters. 

418
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,200
Well, guess what? 
A man. 

419
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:54,800
You know, heard God and all of a
sudden, the water part, right? 

420
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,400
And they see you know, they go 
on dry land, just like their 

421
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,600
parents did. 
They're getting a similar 

422
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,800
experience? 
Here's the thing. 

423
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,600
You can't live off your parents 
faith. 

424
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:10,900
Seasons are transitions in the 
seasons are for you to say, I'm 

425
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:15,300
going to start living my faith 
and not the faith of somebody 

426
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:18,200
else's. 
So that you have your own 

427
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,000
personal. 
Um victories where you yourself 

428
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,300
are not having to tell the 
stories of someone else, but you

429
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:29,100
can tell your own. 
Are you hearing me? 

430
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,800
I'll tell you my own healing 
one. 

431
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:33,900
Some of you've heard this but it
Bears repeating. 

432
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:38,900
I went to a restaurant twice, 
One Summer and got the same meal

433
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:41,600
actually. 
And so when we have my staff, 

434
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,800
they're of the second day 
without saying particular meal, 

435
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,400
my hands started to Hitch and 
the bottom of my feet started. 

436
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,700
Its I mean I was under the 
table, kind of like, Scratching 

437
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:53,800
a bot. 
I mean, it was itches like crazy

438
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:55,700
so much, I just couldn't ignore 
it. 

439
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:59,000
So, I was like, well, I'm even 
become a, such a pain, you know,

440
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,600
issue for me. 
But I didn't want to like, like,

441
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,700
what's wrong with Pastor? 
I'm like, well, let's go. 

442
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:06,200
So, I got in my Jeep, a 
different shape at the time, 

443
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,800
have the top off, and someone 
was riding with me. 

444
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,000
And so, we were coming back to 
the office and all the while 

445
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,400
man, I mean, I'm just feeling a 
certain way. 

446
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,500
I know something's up. 
And I heard the Lord say you 

447
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:23,900
better get on this. 
I heard him say that my spirit 

448
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,300
I'm looking at myself, I get 
there and when I got there you 

449
00:26:27,308 --> 00:26:29,900
know, I said Pastor Mike come 
back to the office with me. 

450
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:31,900
So he came back to the office, I
said man something's going on my

451
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:34,500
body but also I need to get on 
this getting a holy s. 

452
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,900
It's get the prayer of 
agreement, you know. 

453
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:38,700
So got in the prayer of 
agreement because you know, I 

454
00:26:38,708 --> 00:26:41,400
don't dowton and I'm we don't 
touch and agree on the hill of 

455
00:26:41,408 --> 00:26:43,800
the Lord. 
So, you know, all this while I'm

456
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,100
pray and pray and pray and he's 
praying, we are praying and 

457
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:47,900
spear thanking the Lord that I'm
Healed. 

458
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:50,500
You know, the whole time, And 
then, you know, all of a sudden 

459
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:54,200
things start moving in my body 
so I go to the bathroom, right? 

460
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,100
And you know, I kind of keep 
going across the hallway to the 

461
00:26:57,108 --> 00:26:59,000
bathroom. 
If you time like, well, if this 

462
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,700
is what's getting rid of it, I 
might as well, you know, go 

463
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:03,100
home. 
Okay. 

464
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,400
So I said, we'll take me to the 
house, so he's taking me to the 

465
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,300
house. 
So, I got to the house and when 

466
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:10,100
I got there, I, you know, I'm 
like hot. 

467
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:13,000
I take my shirt off, my wife 
happened to be home that day 

468
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:16,100
came in and she goes, where did 
you go to the tanning booth? 

469
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,700
Because I was like, beet red, 
all the way. 

470
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,300
Down to buy his really the color
of my shirt all the way down to 

471
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,200
here. 
I was like, just rip my, the 

472
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,300
whites of my eyes were red. 
What did I said? 

473
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,100
I send my body is having a 
allergic reaction to something 

474
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,200
and so, but I'm going to be all 
right? 

475
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,200
I'm gonna go pray. 
So I went to my room praying, 

476
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:38,000
right? 
And so, I'm asking the Lord, I 

477
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,400
said now, Lord, you know, I got 
it, it's allergic, right? 

478
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:43,800
Do I need to take a Benadryl, 
I'll take a Benadryl. 

479
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,800
No problem. 
Laura said, Benadryl won't touch

480
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,100
this and he told me he said, you
have mercury poison. 

481
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,800
Soo. 
Okay, so I'm like do I need to 

482
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,500
go to the hospital, right? 
And he said he just said, I just

483
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:00,700
says he wanted me to. 
He's wanted me to pray so I did 

484
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:02,500
because believe you me. 
I mean, I'll do whatever God 

485
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:05,800
says, you don't not do what God 
says. 

486
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,500
And yeah, I don't take medicine 
off the table. 

487
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:14,900
Nora, doctor off the table. 
Because of the Lord says, it's 

488
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:18,700
best for you to get it out. 
I probably had to go to doctor 

489
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:21,100
because I won't self vomit. 
I'm not going to do that. 

490
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:24,300
I don't vomit period, right? 
I mean, I'll fight that thing. 

491
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:26,400
I'll believe God it goes the 
other way. 

492
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,100
That's what I'll do. 
I will believe God. 

493
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:36,500
It can exit another way, right? 
Because I am violent, the other 

494
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:38,500
I mean I'm a screamer. 
It's bad. 

495
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,400
Every the whole blocks gonna 
wake up, right? 

496
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,900
You think it would mess up my 
vocal cord but it does it. 

497
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,600
I'm talking the whole time, 
right? 

498
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:53,100
Anyway. 
So, I'm praying and I heard the 

499
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:56,000
Lord say look right, and I knew 
what he meant. 

500
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,500
When he said it, you're saying 
when he says the word, he's not 

501
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:00,900
just saying the word when you 
send your spirit and you know 

502
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:03,600
what he's meaning because when 
he said, look, he showed me the 

503
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,200
whole biblical account of when 
Elijah was praying for the rain 

504
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,100
to come back and he sent his 
servant to go look for the rain 

505
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:14,600
cloud and he ran over there, and
he looked, and he said, there 

506
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,100
ain't nothing. 
They say go again, go again, go 

507
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:19,300
again, right? 
And I knew that was the context.

508
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:21,800
So I went to the mirror, I 
looked at myself, Kind of look 

509
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,400
like this. 
Look like this. 

510
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,300
And I went back praying in the 
Holy Ghost, right? 

511
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:27,100
And then I'll go back and I kept
doing this. 

512
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:30,400
I didn't multiple top 45 minutes
later after all of it started. 

513
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,200
I got in the mirror. 
I look back like that in. 

514
00:29:34,208 --> 00:29:38,000
There was like, about the size 
of a quarter in the middle of my

515
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,700
back, right in the middle of all
that red. 

516
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,700
That was the color of my shirt 
was the color of my skin normal.

517
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,400
And I said, I got it within five
minutes. 

518
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,100
It was gone as if nothing was 
there. 

519
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:55,600
Nothing now, see, that's my 
faith Victory. 

520
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,900
So well, I didn't see it. 
I don't believe it. 

521
00:29:56,900 --> 00:29:58,100
That's your problem. 
Not mine. 

522
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:04,500
I experienced God's healing 
power in a moment based upon 

523
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:07,800
what he told me. 
And I believe God because I 

524
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,400
stood on that word right now, 
just because I have a faith 

525
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:16,300
victory in healing, doesn't mean
I don't maintain and continue to

526
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:18,800
strengthen. 
It was a few years later that 

527
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,700
the Lord started dealing with me
about my health. 

528
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:23,400
Again, he says you need to 
change the way you eat. 

529
00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:25,600
I'm like, what are you talking 
about? 

530
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,100
Right? 
I mean I eat anything. 

531
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:30,500
I want to monetizable. 
Ism is awesome. 

532
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,200
He says son, you have no idea 
what it's doing to your insides.

533
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,000
And he was right because when I 
went to a nutritionist, Ten 

534
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,400
Years Later, they're like man, 
you got a little sludge there in

535
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,700
your veins and your bascule our 
system. 

536
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:46,200
It's like you know some of these
numbers are like, borderline 

537
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,300
heart disease. 
See if I hadn't changed, they 

538
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:54,900
have been worse. 
All the while praying over my 

539
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:56,800
food and eating stuff that's 
just clogging up. 

540
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,500
My But the Lord news, what I'm 
saying on the outside of seem 

541
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,600
seem healthy. 
But on the inside, I got other 

542
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,700
issues. 
But because I listen to the Holy

543
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:12,200
Ghost, I have a relationship 
with God, I spend time with him,

544
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,300
then he was able to have a 
conversation, me at one time. 

545
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:15,700
He says, you got to make some 
adjustments. 

546
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,500
You think what you're doing is 
not having a problem but it is 

547
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,400
and you've confess healing all 
day long. 

548
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,200
All you want to But if you're 
putting something in you that 

549
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,400
your body is having to revert an
adverse reaction to our it's not

550
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,600
processing it effectively. 
Well, you might want to listen 

551
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,900
to God. 
Now, a lot of times that's just 

552
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:35,300
two natural four people. 
Why? 

553
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:38,100
Because they want the gifts of 
the Spirit to be an operation 

554
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,400
and get a, you know, 
Supernatural healing when the 

555
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,800
Lord's like put it down, I mean 
again you can't be asking God to

556
00:31:43,808 --> 00:31:45,200
heal. 
You of lung cancer and keep 

557
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:50,500
smoking cigarettes. 
Nobody would believe that well, 

558
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:54,800
Lord, Heal Me of, You Know, lung
cancer, and then he does, and 

559
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,200
he's going to still keep 
smoking. 

560
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,400
And every time you get it, 
you're going to come back. 

561
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,800
No, it's not going to happen 
well, you understand, certain 

562
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:09,800
foods can do that to your body. 
Okay, my point is there's things

563
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,000
you have to let go and Seasons 
to be able to come to the next 

564
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,200
one. 
And Joshua has a group of guys 

565
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,800
that have been fed for 40 years 
by their parents. 

566
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:25,200
That we're going to die. 
We all going to die and if you 

567
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,100
ever get in there you do you 
really think they're like you 

568
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:32,300
know, we were wrong kids You 
guys are going to make it. 

569
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:34,700
Y'all are going to do what we 
should have done. 

570
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,600
I mean, how many believe that 
was the report of those know, 

571
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,400
once you become a hard heart, 
your heart heart and you are not

572
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,000
trying you too prideful. 
They were stubborn and stiff 

573
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,500
neck. 
So many times, I mean, in the 

574
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:53,000
40th year, that's when Moses got
relieved of his duties because 

575
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,300
of his faith, it was in the 40th
year that their wine and about 

576
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:02,400
water again, and the Lord. 
Just speak to the Rock and he 

577
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,100
was so upset. 
He called he said, you 

578
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:06,700
rebellious people. 
I mean so mad at him. 

579
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:08,500
What about? 
And you think they're going home

580
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:09,800
and say, well that's our 40th 
year. 

581
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,800
You know, some of us. 
Only a few of us are left. 

582
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,200
That means y'all are gonna go in
y'all gonna conquer those guys. 

583
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,700
They were not saying that. 
So, they kept the same 

584
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:21,200
oppressive mentality on their 
kids. 

585
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,600
Josh was bringing over, God is 
trying to show them now, what 

586
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,000
happened with your parents and 
I'm going to show you two so 

587
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,600
that I'm going straight to you 
to believe me. 

588
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,000
Are you hearing me? 
Joshua was smart. 

589
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,700
He said, I ain't sending 12 to. 
Y'all gonna go over to y'all are

590
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:39,200
going over that way. 
If one of you Rogue, the other 

591
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,800
ones ain't, there ain't enough 
of you to have a bath report to 

592
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,000
mess this thing up. 
It's not going to happen but 

593
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,600
here they are on the other side.
Now, they are in enemy 

594
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,400
territory. 
And the Lord says Joshua chapter

595
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,900
5 verse 2. 
They are ready to head towards 

596
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:06,700
the most fortified City. 
In the promised land called 

597
00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:09,500
Jericho. 
And at that time, the Lord said 

598
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:11,900
to Joshua, make for yourselves, 
Flint knives and circumcised. 

599
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:14,400
Again the sons of Israel, the 
second time so Joshua made 

600
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,000
himself blind lives and 
circumcised. 

601
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,100
The sons of Israel at this 
location. 

602
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,500
This is the reason why Joshua 
circumcise them. 

603
00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:24,800
All the people who came out of 
Egypt, who were males, all the 

604
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,900
men of War died in the 
wilderness along the way after 

605
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:32,300
they came out of Egypt for all 
the people who came out were 

606
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:35,000
circumcised. 
But all the people, Who are born

607
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,300
in the wilderness along the way 
as they came out of Egypt, had 

608
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:41,199
not been circumcised for the 
sons of Israel. 

609
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:43,600
Walked 40 years in the 
wilderness until all the nations

610
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,900
that is the men of War who came 
out of Egypt perish. 

611
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:49,600
Because they did not listen to 
the voice of the Lord to whom 

612
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,000
the Lord has sworn that. 
He would not let them see the 

613
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,800
land which the Lord had sworn to
their fathers to give us a land 

614
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,200
flowing with milk and honey, 
their children, whom he raised 

615
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,600
up in their place, Joshua 
circumcised for They were 

616
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,100
uncircumcised. 
Because they were not 

617
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:10,300
circumcised, they had not 
circumcise them along way. 

618
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:13,700
Here's the thing. 
The parents didn't even do what 

619
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:16,700
they were supposed to do with 
their own kids. 

620
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:19,500
They knew on the eighth day, 
there's Moses circumcise our 

621
00:35:19,508 --> 00:35:22,800
kids. 
They were violating, what God 

622
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,800
had said, that you're a cup of 
of company to myself. 

623
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,700
You're my people, I mean, not 
only, they're telling them, they

624
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:31,600
can't make it, but then they're,
they're, they're basically 

625
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,300
leaving them as the Heathen 
Nations uncircumcised. 

626
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:40,700
Wow. 
Now, when they had finished 

627
00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:43,500
circumcised all the nation, they
remained in their place in the 

628
00:35:43,500 --> 00:35:47,500
camp until they were what 
healed, we're going to come back

629
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:50,500
to that. 
Then the Lord said to Joshua 

630
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:55,100
today, I have rolled away the 
reproach of Egypt from you so 

631
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:58,600
the name of that place is called
gilgal to this day. 

632
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:01,300
He says they stayed there till 
they were healed. 

633
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:05,100
Now why is that important turn 
over to Genesis chapter 34? 

634
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,600
In Genesis chapter 34, we pick 
on him an Out of another 

635
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,500
circumcision. 
Now, this is before Joshua 5 

636
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,900
which means this nation has 
heard this account. 

637
00:36:21,300 --> 00:36:24,300
Moses is the writer of the first
five books. 

638
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,500
So he would have communicated 
the history of the nation, he 

639
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:34,200
would have recounted to them 
this event. 

640
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,000
And so what happened was is that
Jacob moved into a Elaine came 

641
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,100
back moved into a land. 
And one of his daughters from 

642
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:47,100
his wife, Leah went and to see 
the other daughters of the land 

643
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:50,700
While She Was Out. 
A guy saw her, thought she was 

644
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:57,000
all that and raped her. 
Forced himself on her and laid 

645
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,100
with her and he thought that was
so great. 

646
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:03,600
He went back home to his dad and
says I want that girl from my 

647
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,000
wife. 
So they came over to Jacob's 

648
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,200
house and says we want that my 
son wants your daughter. 

649
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,600
Well, the two brothers were so 
livid that their daughter had 

650
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:22,800
been violated their sister. 
I mean, that they met those 

651
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,300
guys, a little private lesson. 
It man we will We love to give 

652
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:30,300
you our sister's, not problem, 
but here's the problem. 

653
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,600
Where are circumcised nation and
you're not and we cannot give 

654
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,600
our children sisters our 
daughters to you as a 

655
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,100
uncircumcised Nation. 
So if you if you just go home 

656
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:48,200
and get all your guys 
circumcised, Then we can't get 

657
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,800
you know we get together people 
and we've developed a community 

658
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,100
well trade. 
Well this guy was so smitten 

659
00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:58,000
with her right now. 
I said southern term. 

660
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,400
He was so in awe of her even 
though he done it in the most 

661
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:08,300
grotesque way barbaric way right
that he goes back and he 

662
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:11,800
convinces them. 
So he's telling them only on 

663
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,600
this condition. 
Will the me consent to live with

664
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,100
us to become one people that 
Every male Among Us be 

665
00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:19,700
circumcised that they are 
circumcised. 

666
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:22,700
He says, listen, we will not 
their livestock and their 

667
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:25,000
property and all their animals 
be ours. 

668
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:29,600
Only let us consent to them and 
they will live with us all who 

669
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,500
went out of the gate of the 
city. 

670
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:35,800
Listen to the father, that's his
name in the Sun and every male 

671
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,800
was circumcised, who all went 
out. 

672
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,700
Look at this of the Gate of the 
city. 

673
00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:42,100
Now it was about on the third 
day. 

674
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,100
What day, third day when they 
were in pain? 

675
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:59,600
Yeah, that Jacob that two of the
of Jacob's sons Simeon and Levi.

676
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,300
Diana's Brothers each took his 
sword and came upon the city 

677
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:07,500
unaware and what they do, they 
killed every male. 

678
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:11,300
Now this understand Moses 
sitting with the nation saying 

679
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:17,400
so they had them circumsized and
on about the third day they were

680
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,600
in so much pain, they couldn't 
do nothing. 

681
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,700
You know what those two boys did
those two boys went over there 

682
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:27,100
and kill them they killed us. 
Father they killed the some with

683
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:30,800
the edge of the sword. 
They took their sister because 

684
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,800
again that was party here. 
She's with you all you did. 

685
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,700
Okay here she is. 
But you know he ain't doing it 

686
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:39,100
because he's cut third day, they
come To get this. 

687
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:42,500
The sister, they went into his 
house went for Jacob. 

688
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:47,600
Son Came Upon the slain looted 
the city because they had 

689
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,500
defiled their City. 
They took their flocks, their 

690
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:54,300
herds, their donkeys, and that, 
which was in the city and that 

691
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:56,600
which was in the field, they 
captured and looted all their 

692
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,600
well not out. 
Not only that. 

693
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,900
They took their little ones and 
their wives and all that was in 

694
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:05,900
their house. 
Now they have this story and 

695
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:07,500
Joshua said we going to 
circumcise y'all. 

696
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:13,600
Wait a minute. 
Why couldn't we have done that 

697
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,500
on the other side of the Jordan?
Oh, you don't want to hear this.

698
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:22,300
We're in enemy territory. 
Don't you know what happened? 

699
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,800
The hamor and shechem and the 
minute at City. 

700
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:37,300
When they, we basically become 
sitting ducks That's the 

701
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:41,400
mentality. 
That they have they would have 

702
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,600
obviously had that yet they 
submitted yield to it. 

703
00:40:46,500 --> 00:40:49,600
Here's the thing. 
When you get into when you start

704
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,800
passing into your next season, 
God is going to trim things on 

705
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:54,800
you. 
Where you going to feel your 

706
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:00,900
most vulnerable. 
Not only are you going to feel 

707
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:06,400
vulnerable but you're going to 
be some pain associated with it.

708
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:15,800
But here's the thing, we know 
the first verse of chapter 5 and

709
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:21,100
you need to know, God knows the 
first verse Of your transition. 

710
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,300
All that with those cops in when
I preach this in that context, 

711
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:29,100
starting in verse 2, it go over 
to Genesis, you're like, man 

712
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:31,200
that really stinks. 
Well, let's read verse 1 of 

713
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,700
Joshua 5, though. 
Joshua chapter 5 verse 1 reads 

714
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:37,800
like this. 
Now, it came about when all the 

715
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,800
kings of the amorites who were 
beyond the Jordan to the west, 

716
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,300
and all the kings of the 
Canaanites who were by the Sea 

717
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:47,600
heard, how the Lord had dried up
the Waters of the Jordan before 

718
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:53,500
the sons of Israel, until they 
Cross that their hearts melted. 

719
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,900
And there was no spirit in them 
any longer because of the sons 

720
00:41:56,900 --> 00:42:01,600
of Israel. 
From God's perspective, we're 

721
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,100
going to cut this off right now 
because there's really no threat

722
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:07,200
with your enemy. 
Oh, you don't want it. 

723
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,400
See when we get into a season, 
because if we don't have the 

724
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,100
right perspective that our 
enemies already defeated, when 

725
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:16,900
we get in that vulnerable place,
that God is like, we gonna have 

726
00:42:16,908 --> 00:42:19,700
to cut this off right now. 
That's I'm vulnerable now. 

727
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:22,200
Now that hurts. 
Well, I mean the enemy could 

728
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,000
then the enemy could attack. 
Don't you know what I've done to

729
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,500
the enemy? 
I mean, hi Amy. 

730
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:31,700
Go hit you in this next season. 
now, when I'm dealing with you, 

731
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:40,000
See, we blame the enemy for our 
pain when the reality is God is 

732
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,200
trying to prune stuff off of us 
and he not even let the enemy 

733
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,300
get near you and his new season 
in his miebs in I mean oh God 

734
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:53,200
been dealing with your junk. 
God is dealing with you junk 

735
00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:55,400
stuff that doesn't need to come 
in. 

736
00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:58,900
He's like, we going to excel 
still more, we going to prune. 

737
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:02,000
Look how do I know he go a 
little more, go over to just go 

738
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,700
over to John chapter 15, John 
chapter 15, get your New 

739
00:43:05,700 --> 00:43:06,700
Covenant here. 
Okay. 

740
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,800
John chapter 15 verse 1 says 
this way, I am the True Vine. 

741
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,900
And my father is the vinedresser
Any branch in me that does not 

742
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:17,200
bear fruit. 
That stops Barry. 

743
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:19,300
This is Amplified classic he 
cuts away. 

744
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:24,300
Trims off, cut takes away and he
cleanses them repeatedly. 

745
00:43:24,300 --> 00:43:26,300
Prunes every Branch. 
How many branches? 

746
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,100
So that means you're not getting
into another season without 

747
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:35,100
getting caught. 
I mean your cut period, it's 

748
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:38,300
better to be pruned cut then cut
off. 

749
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,500
Are you hearing me? 
It's better to be pruned cut, 

750
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:48,000
then cut off and every branch 
that continues to bear fruit 

751
00:43:48,700 --> 00:43:51,200
that to make it bear. 
What? 

752
00:43:51,900 --> 00:43:54,000
All right, let me go back and 
read that and he cleanses and 

753
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,900
repeatedly prunes every branch 
that continues to bear fruit. 

754
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:06,600
That it may bear more and Sure. 
And more excellent fruit. 

755
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:12,200
So I would entitle this message 
more seasons, meaning every 

756
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,100
season I get in, is a more 
seasoned. 

757
00:44:15,500 --> 00:44:17,900
There's just more here. 
Now, I'm going to get into even 

758
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:19,500
more. 
Now, I'm just going to get into 

759
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:21,800
even more. 
I'm gonna get into more Glory, 

760
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:29,100
more strength, more power, more 
faith, more ability to be healed

761
00:44:29,100 --> 00:44:34,800
and walking Divine Healing more.
More patience. 

762
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,200
The matter was I got more 
patience. 

763
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,500
Well, I had a patient's, y'all 
reason I have no patience is 

764
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:45,400
because you didn't bring you did
let God proved something in the 

765
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,400
season before to get you over 
into this one. 

766
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,800
I got more self-control in this.
I'm Tom by the fruits of the 

767
00:44:50,808 --> 00:44:53,400
spirit, I got more self-control 
in this season. 

768
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:56,000
I mean, if you don't have more 
of the fruits of the spirit in 

769
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,300
the next season, then that means
you drugged something from your 

770
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:06,700
last season. 
You got to let that stuff. 

771
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:07,700
Get cut off. 
Look at verse 23. 

772
00:45:08,300 --> 00:45:10,400
He says, you are cleansed and 
pruned already. 

773
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,500
Why? 
Because of the word, which I've 

774
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:15,500
given you, Jesus says the 
teaching I have discussed with 

775
00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:17,100
you. 
So, what is the pruning agent? 

776
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:21,500
It's the word. 
Why do people quit coming to 

777
00:45:21,500 --> 00:45:23,800
church? 
They don't get pruned. 

778
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:26,400
Well, you know shit hurt when I 
come to church. 

779
00:45:28,500 --> 00:45:33,800
Sometimes it should hurt. 
Sometimes, it's going to be 

780
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,000
refreshing. 
Why after the prunings done? 

781
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,400
Now, it's time for growth 
water's coming. 

782
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,000
Fertilizing. 
Is coming. 

783
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,400
We want growth, but if we keep 
coming to church eventually he's

784
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:45,800
gonna like wow that was a good 
season. 

785
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,500
You had a lot of good fruit but 
I'm transitioning into the next,

786
00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:52,300
guess what? 
And it seems to be tight. 

787
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:57,000
I just seems like, I'm just kind
of this weird because you're 

788
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,200
being pruned. 
Why does it seem like there's so

789
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,300
many challenges, right? 
How come I'm dealing with so 

790
00:46:02,300 --> 00:46:04,400
many because you're being 
pruned. 

791
00:46:04,900 --> 00:46:07,100
And thank God. 
You're being pruned because the 

792
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:10,000
latter is not good. 
I said the latter is not good 

793
00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:12,400
and I've seen the ladder. 
Well, I'm not coming back, 

794
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,400
they're not ever back and 
they're not going to any then if

795
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,300
they go to any they're actually 
burying religious fruit. 

796
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:26,600
And that's not of God. 
I mean you can bear fruit 

797
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:32,400
without God, the Lord says it. 
He says now a good tree Bears, 

798
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:39,000
good fruit but a bad tree So you
can bear fruit without God. 

799
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,700
It's just bad fruit. 
Okay. 

800
00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:47,100
Okay. 
Verse 4, dwell in me and I'll do

801
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:50,700
well and you live in me and I'll
live in you just as no Branch 

802
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:55,400
can bear fruit of itself without
a body in being vitally. 

803
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:58,700
United to the Vaughn. 
Neither, can you bear fruit? 

804
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:02,600
Unless you what a by? 
This is not a casual 

805
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:07,500
relationship. 
Okay, this is abiding. 

806
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:10,800
I am the vine. 
You are the branches, whoever 

807
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:17,900
lives in me and I in him. 
What do we do bears much 

808
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,800
abundant through. 
However, apart from me cut off 

809
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,100
from vital Union with me, you 
can do nothing. 

810
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:29,600
You can start bearing bad fruit.
And call it of God, but he knows

811
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:35,700
better and honestly. 
So to believers So, don't kid 

812
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:39,200
yourself. 
And how do I know that? 

813
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,800
They're kidding themselves. 
Don't judge me. 

814
00:47:41,100 --> 00:47:43,900
I am inspecting your fruit right
now and your fruit stinks 

815
00:47:43,900 --> 00:47:44,600
stinks. 
Real bad. 

816
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,300
We need to cut that off. 
Because you got to limit their 

817
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,800
this bad. 
We need to cut that off. 

818
00:47:51,900 --> 00:47:54,700
Are you trying to hurt me? 
I'm trying to cut that off. 

819
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:58,500
Not hurt you. 
I'm trying to help you the words

820
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:02,700
trying to help you because your 
whole life, when you look back 

821
00:48:02,700 --> 00:48:04,600
on your life, you should say, 
wow. 

822
00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:12,800
Every season, I became more 
fruitful That should not be 

823
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,200
unrealistic. 
That should be normal child of 

824
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:23,600
the king living. 
Wow, there's even more fruit 

825
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,600
here. 
Wow. 

826
00:48:25,700 --> 00:48:27,800
Now again, transitioning into 
that season. 

827
00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:38,400
Yes, tough Don't feel great. 
Because here's the thing, how do

828
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,000
I know people are struggling 
with this season? 

829
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,700
Well, we've always done it that 
way. 

830
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:43,900
I don't care. 
You've always done that way. 

831
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,700
We may never be able to do it 
that way. 

832
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,400
In fact, Joshua ends up saying 
we're going away, you've never 

833
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,700
been before. 
You've been wandering out here. 

834
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:56,700
Running around these mountains. 
We are going away. 

835
00:48:56,700 --> 00:49:02,300
You've never been before. 
So you can't come to church and 

836
00:49:02,308 --> 00:49:03,900
we've always done it this way in
church. 

837
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:05,600
I don't care. 
What if the Lord says in this 

838
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,900
season. 
We're done with that. 

839
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,800
What the Lord says, we're gonna 
rip every dang light off. 

840
00:49:11,100 --> 00:49:14,200
Just rip them all off, right? 
And we're going to paint the 

841
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:21,100
backdrop blue, baby blue. 
Well, where's the lights? 

842
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:24,600
I really enjoyed the like, I'm 
going with baby blue on the 

843
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,500
Lord. 
I'm just, I'm gonna go with a 

844
00:49:28,508 --> 00:49:31,500
war where the lord, I can't 
explain it. 

845
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:35,500
His ways are higher than our 
ways right now, but let's go 

846
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:37,200
with it, right? 
I mean, at the end of the day, I

847
00:49:37,208 --> 00:49:39,700
don't care how we've always done
worship first. 

848
00:49:39,700 --> 00:49:45,000
What if we doing it last? 
Who says we have to sing first? 

849
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,200
Right. 
But I know a person is 

850
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,200
struggling because I like this 
have always done it when solve a

851
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,100
sudden changes about Don't bring
that in. 

852
00:49:59,300 --> 00:50:01,300
You got to make adjustment. 
Well we bought may have always 

853
00:50:01,300 --> 00:50:02,600
done that way, but what are we 
doing now? 

854
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,100
Where we going now? 
How are we going to do it? 

855
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,700
I see people stuck in places. 
They get stuck. 

856
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:12,500
And what's crazy about our 
particular season wherein is 

857
00:50:12,500 --> 00:50:14,800
this, I can majorly different 
season. 

858
00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:20,300
Yeah, it really is which means 
there's so many different 

859
00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:23,600
mentalities that have to change 
to get to the next one. 

860
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:27,000
And it affects everyone. 
I don't care how long you been 

861
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:34,000
here doesn't matter because we 
have to change all of us. 

862
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,900
Me included. 
I mean I was driving here today 

863
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:41,100
thinking Madam who we're going 
to get it because you know, this

864
00:50:41,100 --> 00:50:43,500
is what I know in no season when
I'm feeling, I mean, you feel 

865
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:45,100
like you're walking in mud, you 
know what I mean? 

866
00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:48,200
You're just like truck. 
He like, oh Jesus. 

867
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:49,900
You know? 
Let me get to that next place, 

868
00:50:49,900 --> 00:50:50,800
right? 
You want there. 

869
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,500
But you gotta your what do I got
to do? 

870
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:55,600
Where we, but I'm going to be 
keeping my Keep moving. 

871
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,600
Right? 
And I'm evaluating where we at 

872
00:50:58,600 --> 00:50:59,900
what we got to do. 
What did I do different? 

873
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:00,900
How we gotta change that? 
What? 

874
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,800
And I'm already putting certain 
things in place that I know the 

875
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,200
Lord's like gonna do this. 
Did it did. 

876
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,100
Okay, I'm working that out. 
But even in that, there's 

877
00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:10,800
transition it takes time to even
get certain things going. 

878
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,000
You're like it's coming is going
to be there. 

879
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,700
We gonna get. 
That is going to happen. 

880
00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:18,700
I have to change the mentality 
of get it done. 

881
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,000
It's probably my hardest 
mentality to let go of. 

882
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,200
We got to get this done. 
Problem is when things get 

883
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,100
larger, I heard one. 
Say you can take a job boat. 

884
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:30,300
Turn it on a dime, but the 
Titanic. 

885
00:51:35,300 --> 00:51:38,600
We used to do announcements two 
weeks before an event. 

886
00:51:39,900 --> 00:51:41,400
We had to change that, you know 
why? 

887
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,900
Because it takes us a month, 
just to let the whole church 

888
00:51:44,900 --> 00:51:48,700
know, we're doing something 
because that's how long it takes

889
00:51:48,700 --> 00:51:50,600
to filter through the whole 
congregation. 

890
00:51:51,300 --> 00:51:53,800
And I, when I say a month, I'm 
talking Wednesday, Sunday, 

891
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,200
announcing it because not 
everybody shows up, there's just

892
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,800
so many people associated with 
the ministry. 

893
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,000
You just can't do it two times 
on Sunday and be done. 

894
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:07,100
So yours changes you're looking 
at stuff and I just want to get 

895
00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:08,600
this done. 
Yeah, but there's this this this

896
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,700
will have to develop a different
mentality. 

897
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,500
Is it still going forward? 
Are they giving sustained 

898
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:18,300
maximum effort in it when 
they're on it? 

899
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,900
Because it's not about how fast 
it gets done. 

900
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:24,400
But all we intentional when 
we're on it. 

901
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:28,900
Because here's the thing when 
you're having to turn a bigger 

902
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:32,000
ship or you're having way more 
projects doing, you got way more

903
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,400
personnel. then all of a sudden,
you know, you're having to say 

904
00:52:36,900 --> 00:52:44,500
are, are we at least maintaining
maximal sustained effort Because

905
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:47,600
it may take a little longer, you
would think the larger the 

906
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,100
church, the fast you can get 
things done is just not true. 

907
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:54,600
It's not true. 
Not true at all. 

908
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:59,600
So I'm having a shift. 
I've got some people that are so

909
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,700
administrative, you know, they 
don't want to leave till the end

910
00:53:01,700 --> 00:53:05,200
box but your inbox will never 
not be full. 

911
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,100
So now they have to learn how to
navigate with peace. 

912
00:53:10,100 --> 00:53:14,300
Knowing it's still there and I 
maintain maximum sustained 

913
00:53:14,300 --> 00:53:18,700
effort today, But I can walk 
away, why? 

914
00:53:18,700 --> 00:53:22,600
Cause he's really the Lord 
anyway and he knows I did and 

915
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,800
you got to continue to cultivate
that, then you got culture. 

916
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,900
Because everybody comes in with 
their own ideas how they want to

917
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:33,000
do stuff right? 
Because when you've done it you 

918
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,900
know when you're you're 
passionate about being holy and 

919
00:53:36,900 --> 00:53:39,200
righteous. 
You know you get a group of 

920
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,000
says, do we relate to be that 
passionate? 

921
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,000
Yeah, yeah we do. 
Yes, we do. 

922
00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:51,000
And so, you know, trying to 
conform 10 mindsets is one thing

923
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:58,600
trying to conform 100 mindsets. 
It's like, they're never going 

924
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,800
to get it. 
These things that start creeping

925
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,100
in, they never gonna get it, 
they're never going to change. 

926
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,600
This is happening, and that's 
happening. 

927
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,400
They did this. 
And it's like multiply problems,

928
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:09,000
but yet it's still the same 
problem. 

929
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:12,700
Just multiply people. 
But it's a season, why you got 

930
00:54:12,700 --> 00:54:16,000
to navigate? 
How do I handle me to move 

931
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:22,900
forward while cuz I'm guaranteed
this more I'm guaranteed more. 

932
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:26,600
Let's finish this out and we'll 
close what verse was on. 

933
00:54:27,100 --> 00:54:29,600
Probably verse 6, if a person 
does not dwell in me, he is 

934
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,400
thrown out like a broken branch 
and Withers, such branches are 

935
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,500
gathered up and thrown into the 
fire they're burned. 

936
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:40,500
If you live in me abide by idly,
United to me, and my words, 

937
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,800
remain in you, and continue to 
live in your hearts, ask 

938
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,300
whatever you will, and it will 
be done for you when you bear 

939
00:54:47,300 --> 00:54:51,800
produce, right? 
Much fruit. 

940
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:57,700
My father is what honored? 
And glorified. 

941
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,800
And you show and prove yourself 
to be true followers of mine. 

942
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:08,800
It's you bearing fruit. 
That proves your follower. 

943
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,900
Not, I love Jesus and came to 
church. 

944
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:18,700
You got to Bear the fruit. 
So the father gets great 

945
00:55:18,700 --> 00:55:21,900
pleasure at saying, let's trim 
this off. 

946
00:55:21,900 --> 00:55:24,000
So it would be more fruitful in 
the next season. 

947
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,700
Let's trim this off so we could 
be more fruitful in the next 

948
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:31,500
season. 
And then you produce That season

949
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:35,400
like wow, look at all that. 
A man is such an awesome time, 

950
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:38,000
but then something else, cuz if 
you're going to go from Faith to

951
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,900
Faith, glory to glory, and 
here's the thing, just to let 

952
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:44,900
you know, in the last of the 
last days, which we are in The 

953
00:55:44,900 --> 00:55:52,000
seasons of productivity. 
Can begin to compress. 

954
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,500
How do we know this? 
Because they said in the last 

955
00:55:55,500 --> 00:56:00,000
days, the sower are the reaper 
will overtake the sower? 

956
00:56:00,100 --> 00:56:03,100
Which means there's so much 
fruit that you'll bypass the one

957
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,500
planning a seed for the next 
season, you got so much for your

958
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:11,700
already passing that. 
So we could be so full of faith 

959
00:56:11,700 --> 00:56:14,200
and go, we can believe for this 
and we could believe for that we

960
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,000
could believe for this and God 
saying to believe for that 

961
00:56:16,100 --> 00:56:17,800
you're like, wow, should we take
a break for a minute? 

962
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,600
No guys. 
Like keep going, man. 

963
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,700
Then the curtains about to pull,
man about to call everybody 

964
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:24,300
home. 
There's too many people out 

965
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:26,300
there. 
We've got to get the Harvest in.

966
00:56:26,300 --> 00:56:29,600
You've got to do what you need 
to do in this last moment 

967
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,700
because it honors him that you 
bear fruit. 

968
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:42,500
It doesn't honor him that you 
cry about him, cutting you. so 

969
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:45,300
again, when you're in the 
transition, know this, 

970
00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:51,000
everyone's in a transition, We 
all go through it together. 

971
00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:54,400
Do not let the devil lie to you,
and act, like you're the only 

972
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:59,800
one going through it because the
menu take that you'll quit going

973
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,900
through, and you're going to be 
one of those dead branches. 

974
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:11,400
That's laying out in the field. 
Just know there's nothing new 

975
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,700
Under the Sun. 
It's the same thing. 

976
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:17,500
God examine me deal with me. 
Help me become more perfected, 

977
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:21,400
let who I am come out. 
More and more. 

978
00:57:22,500 --> 00:57:24,800
Because you know what? 
In reality we really don't think

979
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:29,300
we're as bad as we think we are.
Even when we talk bad about 

980
00:57:29,300 --> 00:57:43,700
ourselves. 
Oh about yes, so it's a good 

981
00:57:43,700 --> 00:57:44,900
point. 
I'll take it. 

982
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,600
I sensed, it was probably a good
point. 

983
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,300
I should stop and ask so when 
John George was with us, Pastor 

984
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:54,100
John George, he gave a statistic
during covid and covid. 

985
00:57:54,100 --> 00:57:56,700
There were two hundred 
sixty-five Evangelical churches 

986
00:57:56,700 --> 00:57:59,800
in the United States of America 
265,000. 

987
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,700
Okay and the United States, He 
banned jellicle Christian 

988
00:58:03,700 --> 00:58:06,200
churches. 
At the end of covid. 

989
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:12,900
In 2022, two years later. 
There are 100 and 1000 less 

990
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:19,800
churches. if those 100, 1000 
less churches, because they shut

991
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:24,600
down and did not reopen, only 
had an average attendance of 100

992
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:31,700
people It would be 10 million. 
Believers who have quit 

993
00:58:31,700 --> 00:58:35,100
attending church in two years, 
just in the US. 

994
00:58:35,300 --> 00:58:36,700
He said, why is that 
significant? 

995
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:39,500
Why? 
Because 5%, another city, he 

996
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:42,500
gave us five percent of the 
world's population is right here

997
00:58:42,500 --> 00:58:47,800
in the good old USA, But 95% of 
missionaries and financial 

998
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,300
support for missionaries 
globally. 

999
00:58:50,500 --> 00:58:55,800
Come from here, which means, 
then if 265,000 Evangelical 

1000
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,700
churches, who were supporting 
mission, He's in 100 1000 of 

1001
00:58:59,700 --> 00:59:04,500
them. 
Quit Then the support. 

1002
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:10,300
Quit the greatest export. 
The US of a has is not oil. 

1003
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:17,100
Cars are some corn chicken. 
It is the gospel. 

1004
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:24,100
And don't you think the enemy 
wants to stop that export? 

1005
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,500
So he doesn't want the church to
prosper. 

1006
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,700
He does and he wants us to be 
discouraged. 

1007
00:59:29,700 --> 00:59:32,500
He wants to get us to get lost 
in transition. 

1008
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,500
Because the last thing you want 
shoe is to get the guarantee of 

1009
00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:44,900
a more fruit season especially a
church to get them or fruit 

1010
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:50,000
season. 
Because again at the end of the 

1011
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,900
day, if not all it's one thing 
for again, if he's the vine and 

1012
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:56,400
we are the branch. 
What's he saying? 

1013
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,100
He's examining every brand if we
are, anchor, Faith Church. 

1014
01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:02,900
All of us are the branches of 
this particular church. 

1015
01:00:02,900 --> 01:00:05,400
If we're all bearing maximize 
fruit. 

1016
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:12,300
What does that look like? 
But if some of us are And parts 

1017
01:00:12,300 --> 01:00:17,200
of us are not because we're more
concerned about the USA. 

1018
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,200
And living like the USA lives 
every day. 

1019
01:00:24,100 --> 01:00:26,600
The American dream, the American
calendar. 

1020
01:00:28,900 --> 01:00:30,700
You don't want to hear it, okay?
That's fine. 

1021
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:34,500
I don't live on American 
calendar. 

1022
01:00:34,500 --> 01:00:39,400
I live on a god calendar so I 
don't wait for a holiday to 

1023
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:44,000
dictate what I'm doing. 
People at Pastor. 

1024
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,200
Christmas is on Sunday. 
Are you going to have service? 

1025
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:54,200
Duh. 
Yeah, well, I mean that's family

1026
01:00:54,200 --> 01:01:00,200
Tom, what family you win? 
I mean, I thought Chris was by 

1027
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,900
the birth of Jesus so you're 
going to stay at home under your

1028
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:11,100
tree with your Commercial 
present, okay. 

1029
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,800
You mean you expect us to get up
on? 

1030
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,300
And that's why you didn't come 
for as Jesus cuz you would have 

1031
01:01:23,300 --> 01:01:32,100
stopped before the cross. 
Nah, I mean what better place 

1032
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:35,500
for me to be and again, if you 
had if your kids were like my 

1033
01:01:35,500 --> 01:01:37,800
kids, they've already should 
have had those presents 

1034
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,900
unwrapped by 3:00 anyway, am 
that is so be no problem for you

1035
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:44,000
to get dressed and come to 
church. 

1036
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,500
Now, if you don't come to 
church, you know, that's on you.

1037
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:47,800
I'm not condemning, it's no big 
deal. 

1038
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,000
I'm just saying, don't let the 
psyche be? 

1039
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,000
It's because it's a holiday. 
I would not. 

1040
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,100
What do I take a holiday from 
God? 

1041
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,100
When does the United States? 
Determine when I have service? 

1042
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:11,200
No, that's the Lord's 
responsibility. 

1043
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,000
All right, what verse we ins 
will be in close. 

1044
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,400
We need to stop. 
Amen. 

1045
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:18,500
We were in bursts. 
What? 

1046
01:02:19,100 --> 01:02:21,400
Nine. 
I have loved you just as the 

1047
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,800
father has loved me abide in my 
love. 

1048
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:28,600
Continue on my love, with me. 
If conditional statement, you 

1049
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,200
keep my Commandments, if 
conditional statement, you 

1050
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,100
continue to obey my 
instructions, you will abide in 

1051
01:02:34,100 --> 01:02:38,600
my love and live on in it just 
as I have obeyed my father's And

1052
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,800
live on in his love. 
Oh, Jesus. 

1053
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:45,400
I have told you these things 
that my joy and Delight may be 

1054
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,800
in you, and that your joy and 
gladness maybe full measure and 

1055
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,300
complete and overflowing. 
Praise the Lord. 

1056
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:55,600
Amen. 
You know, Jesus preached the 

1057
01:02:55,608 --> 01:02:58,300
message, one time that he lost 
the crowd. 

1058
01:02:59,900 --> 01:03:03,900
Was his message? 
Truth would you be of the crowd?

1059
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:07,200
That would have left. 
I'll find out next year. 

1060
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,100
Because I am going to have to 
preach a message on love next 

1061
01:03:16,100 --> 01:03:21,800
year. 
That is wrong. 

1062
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,100
And unfortunately, 98% of 
Believers believe it's true. 

1063
01:03:31,300 --> 01:03:33,600
I've gone through the Bible too 
many times and I've already gone

1064
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,300
to others above me and say, 
let's talk about this statement.

1065
01:03:39,100 --> 01:03:41,700
And no one's been able to defend
it. 

1066
01:03:43,700 --> 01:03:45,800
And they've all come to the same
conclusion now. 

1067
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,700
And that's the most demonic 
statement in the church today. 

1068
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,800
I'm I'm saying it right now 
because I'm a set you up because

1069
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,000
I want. 
You have ears to hear. 

1070
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,300
But I do know it runs the risk 
of you leaving. 

1071
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,100
At the end of the day. 
Because some people just love 

1072
01:04:14,100 --> 01:04:16,900
their tradition more and they 
just cannot fathom that it 

1073
01:04:16,900 --> 01:04:19,600
couldn't be that way when it's 
going to. 

1074
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,800
I mean, it would be obviously 
probably a 13-week. 

1075
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:26,400
That's what's so bad as I'll 
have to take a quarter. 13 

1076
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:27,900
weeks. 
Just to dissect it. 

1077
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:34,200
I can prove it so easy but its 8
time it's not a one message. 

1078
01:04:34,900 --> 01:04:39,300
It's not a one message. but if 
you'll see it, if you'll grab 

1079
01:04:39,300 --> 01:04:45,600
it, if you'll abandon your 
thought, The love of God will 

1080
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:51,200
become so awesome in your life. 
Your faith will be at a whole 

1081
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,700
nother level. 
I mean, we'll go. 

1082
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:56,700
We'll as a church body, we will 
ratchet so far. 

1083
01:04:57,500 --> 01:04:59,800
Hmm, geez. 
I'm telling you right now and it

1084
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,500
is for the end times. 
It is for. 

1085
01:05:02,500 --> 01:05:04,300
We have to walk in this kind of 
love. 

1086
01:05:05,700 --> 01:05:10,000
I'm telling you we have to the 
god kind of love literally. 

1087
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,300
But I'm not going to pretend 
that it isn't. 

1088
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,200
That it won't rock you. 
I'm not going to pretend it 

1089
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:24,200
won't. 
Hallelujah. 

1090
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:27,800
You do not need to be mature to 
know truth. 

1091
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,300
But the mature, apply the truth,
they know. 

1092
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,900
Season. 
It's just a transition. 

1093
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,600
I know it hurts. 
But keep moving. 

1094
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,100
Because you're going to Bear 
more. 

1095
01:05:55,900 --> 01:06:00,100
And when you bear, more dad is 
glorified. 

1096
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:05,800
He's glorified. 
He's glorified. 

1097
01:06:06,500 --> 01:06:09,700
He's glorified. 
Are you hearing me? 

1098
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:13,400
Hallelujah. 
Thank you Lord. 

1099
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,100
Boy, there still things to learn
in the word. 

1100
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,000
Do you believe that many? 
If you don't believe it, you're 

1101
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,000
going to get stuck. 
But I know there's still more 

1102
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,600
Revelation, more things to learn
and I know how Revelation comes.

1103
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,800
Because I was raised in a 
denominational church. 

1104
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,900
That only taught Jesus Christ 
died on the cross and rose from 

1105
01:06:36,900 --> 01:06:42,900
the dead, so that when as a 
substitute for your wrongdoing, 

1106
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,600
if you'll call him Lord, you 
will be saved. 

1107
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:52,100
And that was true and I acted on
that in a denominational church 

1108
01:06:52,100 --> 01:06:55,500
at nine years old and by All 
Rights was saved. 

1109
01:06:57,300 --> 01:07:00,700
Now I didn't live great for God 
and some teenage years and 

1110
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,800
moving into my early 20, but at 
the end of the day, I met a 

1111
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,800
woman on a blind date and 
realized I better get right with

1112
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,500
God. 
And we did. 

1113
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,700
And next thing, you know, I 
ended up at another church that 

1114
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,700
taught about the baptism of the 
holy spirit with evidence of 

1115
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:23,400
speaking in tongues, And I 
didn't run out of that church 

1116
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,300
saying that's of the devil 
because I was never taught that 

1117
01:07:25,300 --> 01:07:27,800
it was anyway. 
But when he presented it to me 

1118
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,100
in two months at 5:30 in the 
morning before, I would go to 

1119
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:34,300
work because I was hungry for 
God, I realized. 

1120
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,600
Wow, where's this been? 
How? 

1121
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,200
Come a, it teach that. 
And then I received it now that 

1122
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,000
I have, and I know it's true, 
just like, I know I'm born 

1123
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:43,200
again. 
I know it's truth. 

1124
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,900
What I did is I realized I 
didn't abandon that. 

1125
01:07:46,900 --> 01:07:49,200
Jesus Christ is Lord to be able 
to receive this truth. 

1126
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,600
It just strengthened it. 
Then when I went off to Bible 

1127
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:57,200
College, I found out about 
faith, faith Beyond being born 

1128
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,700
again, and being filled with the
holy spirit. 

1129
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,200
That this thing could be lived 
out all the time. 

1130
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:07,100
Then I was blown in my mind that
I had Authority as a believer. 

1131
01:08:09,300 --> 01:08:14,600
But I was no longer a victim. 
A sorry sinner saved by grace. 

1132
01:08:17,899 --> 01:08:21,300
But I look back and say, what 
did I abandon the truth of being

1133
01:08:21,300 --> 01:08:24,500
filled with the holy spirit that
I abandoned being born again in 

1134
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:26,700
the Holy Ghost came and lived 
inside me and bore witness. 

1135
01:08:26,700 --> 01:08:30,100
My my spirit that I was no he 
just kept adding then I found 

1136
01:08:30,100 --> 01:08:32,600
out about the kingdom man. 
When I found out about the 

1137
01:08:32,608 --> 01:08:36,500
kingdom, we were asking hard 
questions because we're like 

1138
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:39,899
wow, nobody's saying this, cause
we start talking stuff that it's

1139
01:08:39,899 --> 01:08:42,700
just ways that people aren't 
communicating. 

1140
01:08:44,100 --> 01:08:46,300
But I get went back. 
What did I abandon the authority

1141
01:08:46,300 --> 01:08:47,700
of the believer? 
Did I abandon healing? 

1142
01:08:47,700 --> 01:08:49,300
Did I abandon being filled with 
the spirit? 

1143
01:08:49,300 --> 01:08:51,899
Did I abandon that? 
Jesus know, all those troops 

1144
01:08:51,899 --> 01:09:00,399
became stronger. man, when I 
learned about Finance, Wow. 

1145
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:06,399
And still learning as there's a 
few verses that still Jack me up

1146
01:09:06,399 --> 01:09:09,500
and I know I'm not living it out
to its fullness yet. 

1147
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:15,600
I know it. 
But then when I found out about 

1148
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:20,000
the love of God and I thought I 
knew it and this is the problem.

1149
01:09:21,300 --> 01:09:24,000
I went swimming with my daughter
one day because she used to swim

1150
01:09:24,500 --> 01:09:29,899
in school. and I said, I'm gonna
go swim with you, so I jumped in

1151
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:34,500
the pool with her and I took off
I'm stronger than her. 

1152
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,300
I'm faster than her. 
I'm do more weights than her, 

1153
01:09:39,700 --> 01:09:44,600
but she was crushing me. 
I mean, crushing me, I mean, 

1154
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:50,399
she's like and I'm like, you 
know, hanging on to the side and

1155
01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:55,600
then I'll take off and like I'm 
by getting beat and so I'm like 

1156
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,000
man how are you doing that? 
She said, where are you 

1157
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,300
breathing while you're swimming?
I'm like, what? 

1158
01:10:04,900 --> 01:10:08,100
Honey, you don't breathe when 
you're underwater girl, that's 

1159
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:11,300
called drowning. 
You know, she said no dead. 

1160
01:10:11,300 --> 01:10:13,700
You'll understand when your face
is under and, you know, you're 

1161
01:10:13,700 --> 01:10:16,300
doing your stroke, supposed to 
excel, you know, just do it. 

1162
01:10:16,300 --> 01:10:18,800
Like your viewer running when 
you just do your exhale 

1163
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:22,200
underwater. 
I never saw that watching the 

1164
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,900
sport because there's so much 
you know, splashing going on. 

1165
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:27,900
I didn't realize they were doing
that. 

1166
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:31,500
You know what? 
That made a difference that 

1167
01:10:31,500 --> 01:10:38,800
little technique and I thought I
knew how to swim And 

1168
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,700
unfortunately, I've been around 
many Believers that God said, 

1169
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:45,000
let me pull you out of this 
season into a more seasoned but 

1170
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
the problem is they think they 
already know how to swim. 

1171
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:53,500
Yeah, you can get in the pool 
and take off. 

1172
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,200
But you gassed, you don't have 
the longevity, you don't have 

1173
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:01,500
the endurance. 
You have to get out of the pool 

1174
01:11:01,500 --> 01:11:05,800
faster. 
You're not conditioned properly.

1175
01:11:06,700 --> 01:11:08,800
Yeah, you can get to the other 
side, not drown. 

1176
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:13,400
How many Believers are living 
that you can get to heaven 

1177
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:19,100
without drowning? 
but some of us, We choose to be 

1178
01:11:19,100 --> 01:11:22,500
champions. 
And that requires discipline and

1179
01:11:22,500 --> 01:11:24,900
learning. 
There's a new way to do this, 

1180
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:31,500
like the guy who decided to do 
the high jump backwards, For 

1181
01:11:31,500 --> 01:11:34,800
years, they just went forward 
and went forward. 

1182
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,200
And then all of a sudden this 
crazy guy went out and went 

1183
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,600
backwards and they got to new 
heights. 

1184
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:45,700
They've never just because he 
changed his approach. 

1185
01:11:48,100 --> 01:11:51,000
To many believers. 
Are stuck in there. 

1186
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,500
Same deal and won't ask what? 
Lord do. 

1187
01:11:53,500 --> 01:11:55,900
I know everything there is to 
know about the love of God. 

1188
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:02,100
Do I know everything there is to
know about forgiveness because 

1189
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:05,000
as you're pulling me out of this
season to next, is there 

1190
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,700
something I need to let go of 
him for me, for me. 

1191
01:12:07,700 --> 01:12:11,000
A lot of times the Lord's like 
you're going to have to drop 

1192
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:16,200
that thought about me because 
there's a more clear way. 

1193
01:12:18,100 --> 01:12:20,700
And that's what Priscilla and 
Aquila div with a policy. 

1194
01:12:21,300 --> 01:12:23,400
He said, son, you've been 
preaching good, but let me show 

1195
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:28,900
you a clearer way. 
And I'm glad Apollo says, I'm 

1196
01:12:28,900 --> 01:12:30,900
going to this preaching in this 
season. 

1197
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,300
I'm not going to preach that no 
more. 

1198
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:40,400
Amen.
