Speaker 2 (00:12):
I wanna talk about how simple it is to be
transformed, not frustrating andnot a long process that
stretches people, cuz peoplehave think, well I'm processing
brother.
And 10 years later, they gotsome of the same things.
They're like, well, he is doinga work in me now, 18 years in
(00:32):
they've learned a languagecalled Christian, but they
haven't become more like you.
You're saying,
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Well,
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It takes a while.
Brother, he's working.
He's not missing the chisel.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You gotta yield and adapt yourself to him.
You gotta, it's just like amarriage.
The Bible says, husbands, loveyour wives.
That's what it says.
And, and then it, it, it sayswives you're to submit to your
own husbands as under the Lord.
And it's amazing how that's beenhammered and preached and, and
your wives have become theservants of the men.
(01:25):
It's just crazy.
It says wives submit your ownhusbands as under the Lord.
That's the only thing he says tothe wife.
And then the rest of thechapters to the husband.
Love your wife, tells you washerand nurture her with the water
(01:45):
of the word and love her.
Just like Christ love church,the whole thing's to the
husband.
And we take the word submit andturn it into slavery.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
The word submit, break it down.
Look at it.
It means yield and adaptyourself to your own husband as
you would to the Lord.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You know how, how you're reading your Bible ladies
and you love the Lord and youreading your Bible and you see
something, the Bible's callingyou too.
The word's calling you too.
And you get a conviction in yourheart and you go, oh wow.
And, and, and, and in your heartright now, you have this desire,
but the Bible's calling youhere.
So you make adjustments.
You pray, you weep a little andyou begin to position yourself
for change.
You position yourself.
(02:23):
To love him, to yield to him, tobecome more like him, right?
It's the same thing in yourmarriage.
You get married and preferencesget different.
Sometimes you don't havestraight up agreement on every
detail.
Why do you have to have a feud?
Cuz you don't have agreement.
Love's supposed to be greater.
Love.
Love doesn't mean you agree oneverything.
Love means.
(02:43):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Amen.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So that word submit just means yield and adapt
yourself yield and adaptyourself to your own husband so
you can yield and adaptyourself.
So we do that to the Lord.
We yield and adapt ourself tohim.
We we're clay.
He's the Potter.
The clay doesn't make itselfinto anything.
The clay will always be clayunless it's placed in the hand
(03:11):
of the Potter.
If you study out clay in thePotter, it's a neat teaching.
If you, if you're into them kindof teachings, it's it's just
neat.
The Potter.
If the, if the Clay's notpliable, if it's not moist
enough, if it's not in the rightcondition, where would that come
in with?
You just yielded.
Truly yielded.
Sincere.
(03:32):
Come on.
Sincere.
Let me tell you what qualifiessincerity.
When you take your convictionsand get alone with God, take a
walk, shut a door, shuteverything down till you get
ahold of your conviction beforethe Lord.
So he gets ahold of you.
Amen.
That's sincere.
It's one thing to get convicted.
It's another thing to followthrough with it and act out on
(03:54):
it.
Put yourself in a place whereit's just you and him and say,
you know what?
I believe you see me this way.
I believe you made me for thisLord.
I haven't been walking in this.
I haven't even felt this desirein my heart, but I realize
you've called me to this and I'myielding you.
And I'm asking you a holy spiritto just begin to empower me and
stir my heart and steer me intothis place because I see this is
(04:15):
what you've created me for God.
I just renounce this and I letit go.
And Lord, it's not that I'mbiting my lip, trying not to do
it anymore.
I don't believe it's what I'mcalled to be.
And I don't believe it's what Iwant to be anymore.
I'm convicted.
You have my attention.
There's change in my life.
You talk like that to God andstay very answer conscious.
(04:35):
Not can't believe I did that.
God would you please forgive me?
God, I am such a mess up father.
When are you gonna change thisold wretched heart?
You will never be changed.
Talking like that.
That's how people pray.
They get in a room and they getself-conscious and they proud
all their problems and all theirsins and all their bad stuff.
And we call that confession.
I call it a messed up identityand you'll leave the room worse
(04:57):
off than when you went in.
You'll be more aware and focusedon what's wrong with you than
what he makes.
Right?
Wonder if you know something'swrong in your life and you get
convicted and you say, man, Igotta deal with this.
And you walk in your room.
Wouldn't it be amazing to walkin humbly and God sees your
heart.
And the fact that you're thereand you just close the door,
(05:18):
Lord, I'm done being in denial.
I've been letting this thingrake my conscience for three
weeks now.
And I haven't even talked to youabout it.
Thanks for forgiving me.
Thanks for loving me soon.
When you ask him to forgive you,you always wonder if you're
forgiven.
That's how people get.
It's strange.
Your language, just changingyour view is so simple.
Thank you for forgiving me.
Cause you are confessing it.
(05:38):
You are taking response.
Thanks for forgive me, man.
If I confess my sin to you,you're faith will just to
forgive me and cleanse me of all.
I thank you to God.
I'm not standing here dirty.
I'm not filthy.
I'm not disgusting to you.
You pulled me out of darkness.
You brought me into the light.
You are the one that's washingme and making me clean and
maturing me through all thisstuff into the man.
(06:00):
You've called me to be God, I amdone denying what's going on in
my conscience.
That is nothing to do with whatI'm creative for, nothing to do
with I'm called to I give up theright to believe that, to feel
that way I'm done holding themso accountable.
God, I wanna see them throughyour eyes and I, you myself to
you.
And I thank you for the workyou're doing in my life.
Holy spirit.
(06:20):
I welcome you.
And thank you for being a friendof me and leading me in truth.
That ha you're either outta yourmind and need to go play tennis
or get a hobby or God's in theroom and he's gonna change you.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you say, I am sincere whenyour sincere sincerity puts you
in that place.
(06:41):
Sincerity has a fruit to it,that's it.
You can procrastinate.
You can say the right things andnever position yourself for
them.
And then you live with a, aconvicted conscience or violated
conscience for long enough.
You slowly get condemned.
If all you do is just read yourBible and just read your Bible
and just read your Bible.
And don't get along with him andapply your convictions of what
(07:04):
you're getting through the Bibleto relationships.
So his grace can make you whatyou're reading.
You'll get so full of theknowledge of God without the
revelation of God in your life.
That the word will turn on youand judge you, even though he's
not judging you, you have somuch knowledge and you'll start
weighing your knowledge againstyour life and you'll get
(07:26):
condemned and you'll take yourown test and be your own judge.
And you'll decide how valuableyou are and you'll decide how
good you're doing you.
You're not the teacher and thestudent.
You don't take the test.
And then judge the score.
You wake up and enjoy being hisyes, I've watched the word
(07:47):
because the books alive.
And if you don't grow inrelationship with the
understanding of grace, thisworks thing, this legalistic
thing, this thing will come inand the knowledge of the word
will turn.
You'll you'll let it shift andjudge where you're not instead
of inspire where you're called.
(08:09):
That's right.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
And then you'll say stuff likethis way, that SEMO right to a
man SEMO, right?
SEMO.
Right?
You'll think it's humility.
You'll think it's penance orsomething.
Well, you know, I'm bringingthis on myself.
I, I should know better.
I mean, there's no repentance inthat there's judgment.
Then you say I'm getting what Ideserve and should have dealt
(08:29):
with this months ago.
Okay.
How's that gonna redeem thesituation and how are you gonna
leave the day feeling anyclearer about yourself in Christ
than before?
Because that's the goal to seeyourself in him to see yourself
the way he sees you.
I'm just giving some littlepractical general examples
(08:49):
trying to help.
I just know that this thingright here is never just quiet.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Musicing and meditating constantly.
You know, I've been sharing thislately.
It's been on my heart to amplifyand clarify this a high IQ.
Intellect is a gift to have anhigh IQ.
Doesn't need it to mean it's acurse and you're selling
intellectual.
I think that's cool.
If you have a high leftanalytical yeah.
Is not a gift, right?
Analytical is never the LordI'll explain it.
(09:24):
Oh, I feel that a little bit.
people say, well, I'mjust analytical.
Stop boasting.
It's not a gift.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
People say, well, God gave us the ability to reason.
Not in analytical thinking.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yes,
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's right.
Here's what analytical thinking.
Does it empowers you to talkyourself out of him to talk
yourself outta worthy, to talkyourself outta love.
It makes simple thingscomplicated.
Yes.
God loves you.
I don't know how he can love me.
(10:04):
Eh, loves you.
Well, yeah, but I have a hardtime believing he can love me
after all.
I, I mean, I knew for years I'vebeen in church and I went
against, eh, loves you.
How can you be so sure brother.
Cause Christ is hanging on thattree.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Love you.
Here's what he's not saying.
Take a good look at me.
People.
I hope you're satisfied.
Now look at your sin has done tome.
Don't you think it's time tochange and turn and repent and
come back to the father.
Hope you get the message guys.
Time for change Is never thecross don't you ever preach the
(10:46):
gospel that way.
Here's the cross.
I love you.
I know who you are.
I've known you from thebeginning.
I know why you're here.
I know your purpose.
I know your potential, yourlives have great value to me.
It's why the father's pleased tolet this happen to me.
So then my dying, you can livein my raising.
You could be justified that wecould get the lie off of you and
(11:09):
put the truth back into you.
You're worth every penny of thissacrifice.
You're worth it.
Us, nobody buys what they don'tthink has the value they're
paying for your life is worth myblood.
Your life is worth my life.
Come to me and live.
That's the cross.
(11:30):
It's the goodness.
No preacher in my life ever toldme that he hung on the cross
because of my value.
They all told me he hung on thecross cuz of my sin.
Oh, he had to die because Isinned.
I get that.
But that's not a play on words.
Of course he had to die becauseI sin.
But he didn't die.
Cuz I'm a sinner.
(11:50):
He died cuz I was a lost son.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
He died.
Cuz my created value wassubverted and covered over by
sin and selfishness had takenover love and my purpose and
reason for being got shaded andclouded.
And I went from being in theimage of God to a form and back
to the clay.
So Jesus does what he doesraises from the dead and life
(12:17):
breathes back in man.
And now we have the gardenagain, the tree's still there
and the voice is stillwhispering.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Follow
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Him.
And the blood is speaking
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Better things.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Paul says, what should we do sin cuz wonder
grace and not the law.
Certainly not.
God forbid right.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Is so powerful.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Why do I preach this way all the time?
Because nobody loves God first.
Unless they see his first
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Loves
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You.
Be honest with me growing up asa youngster.
How many felt more indebtedtowards God than in love with
God.
How many watched a crucifixionmovie and thought, wow.
Preacher said my sin did that tohim.
He really took a beat and I'mnot sure living much for him.
And I don't feel like I canchange.
And you felt guilt.
He watching that stuff.
And even though your heart movedand you believed in him, you
(13:15):
didn't know how to change andyou never fully felt real close
to him.
You never felt like this growingup.
Most of us who relates to whatI'm saying.
And, and I quit going to church,that was my choice.
18 years old, just stoppedgoing, saw some dysfunction in
the leader and, and saw somemessing around and, and judged
it and said, well, this is thecross and this is Christianity
(13:36):
and this is Christianity and thegospel.
I don't want nothing to do.
No, it's not.
That's the weakness andfallacies of men.
It doesn't change God.
But it's amazing how we look atpeople representing God or
speaking God as the image ofGod.
So then we look at their imageand get a Yeah.
So by the age of 20, I didn'twant nothing to do with church.
So for 13 long years, I didn'tgo nowhere.
(13:57):
Dark, sad time.
And Jesus showed up at work.
One day just walked in, spoke tomy heart and I thought it was my
mind.
He changed me forever.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yay.
I'm just so glad I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Why'd he do you do that?
Because he loved me.
And where sin about did graceabounded much more?
So he called me outta darknessand brought me into the light.
Seemed like I had a debt.
I could never pay.
Seemed like I owed him more thanI could give.
So he said, I'll tell you whatI'll give and I'll put
(14:37):
everything you are on my son.
So everything in my son can comeback into you and I'll just do
this great exchange, theinnocent for the guilty and
you'll go free.
And I go, well, you're amazing.
Yeah.
I love you.
This amazing love for you isstir in my heart.
You make me love you.
(14:59):
Yeah.
That's the point, Dan I've lovedyou from the beginning.
I wanna restore what we had fromthe beginning.
Lord.
I really, really love you.
Yeah, I know it's cuz I lovedyou from the beginning.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Wow.
I love you.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That?
Sure.
Beats serving the Lord,
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Letting
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Your Christian service take the place of
knowing him, letting theministry you serve in.
Take the place of knowing him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause serving in the ministrywon't change your disposition.
That's right.
Knowing him will.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Serving in the ministry.
Won't change your motives.
Knowing him will.
Yeah.
You could serve in a ministryand start feeling like people
owe you.
You could serve in the ministryand be in dig towards people and
still have preferences and bebiased.
You can serve in a ministry foraffirmation.
And then when they don't giveit, you can get hurt and go
serve in another ministry andcarry that hurt with you.
(16:02):
And after four ministries you'rehurt and mess
Speaker 3 (16:06):
And
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You don't need an order call.
You don't need ministry at theorder.
You need to change your mind.
Yeah.
That's right.
You need to change your heart.
That's right there.
Ain't enough prayer in theplanet.
It ain't about prayer.
It's about truth.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's about truth.
It's not always about prayer.
Yeah.
I need prayer.
No, you might need truth.
Yeah.
I never read a scripture thatsaid ministry makes you free.
Yeah, but I did read thescriptures.
He said truth will wonder if youjust need to believe a little
different.
I wonder if you need to just seea little different cuz your eye
(16:41):
is the lamp of your body.
And if you see clear, you'll beclear.
Says if you don't see clear, youwon't be clear.
And if you don't see clear justhow clear won't to be.
That's my paraphrase.
It's it goes like this.
The eye is the lamp of yourbody.
And if your eye is single, yourwhole body is flooded with
(17:05):
light.
If your eye is not singledarkness encroaches.
And if the light in you see whatyou're created for.
If the light in you is darkness,just how great is the darkness.
It means how twisted is yourview.
So if what you're believing isproducing darkness, it cannot be
truth.
(17:26):
If what you're thinking andbelieving, isn't producing life
and exciting your heart andmoving you forward in God,
you're believing a lie.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Come on.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He came to give you life and life more abundantly.
That's right.
Yeah.
But brother, you don'tunderstand my situation.
No stop.
You're raising your situationabove what I'm preaching.
So you can hear what I'mpreaching.
You're making your situationmatter more than the truth that
wants to rescue you out of thatlaw.
Yeah.
Why do your circumstances haveto change for you to change?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Why
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Does your trouble have to go?
Jesus did not put out the fire.
Fourth man in the furnace, neverER's fire Shara Meach and Vango.
Jesus did not bring myriads ofangels with holy water and do
the fire.
Right?
The fire kept raging to put outthe fire is to honor it, to say
(18:28):
it's a threat to them.
The fire's not the problem.
It's wrong.
Believing it's getting your eyeson something that doesn't
matter.
Most it's worshiping something.
That's not the Lord.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Whether
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's your own life, whether it's your own person,
whether it's your own wellbeing,that can all be idolatry.
The only way you overcome is tolove not your own life under
death.
So the thing that's a problem isnot the fire.
It's never the fire.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Never the fire come on.
Most of us are praying thatthere's no fire.
Cuz we're afraid of fire.
Just this message freaks peopleout sometimes.
What do you do in prophesyingtrials?
No, the Bible says the wiseman's going through the same
storm as the foolish.
Yeah.
It's not cuz he opened a door.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Right?
Try it.
Try it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It's cause he heard the word And Satan comes for the
word sake.
Not your sake, that's it.
He ain't afraid of you at all.
He's afraid of the word.
That's it?
The reason you become a focalpoint is cuz the word was put
into you.
Yeah.
And now you can be somethingthat he's very threatened by.
Yeah.
He ain't.
After you, you don't take himperson.
You take the gospel person andbecome what God paid for.
(19:52):
Come on.
You take no account of thesethings.
It's not about you going throughhardship.
It's about you becoming theperson he created for you to be
and standing strong.
It, it flips me out that story.
That, that, that story flips meout with a fire number.
Kezer cuz the king gave iturgent decree to make it seven
times hotter.
Well that's that's symbolic andnew Testament, faith of you.
(20:15):
And I just praying and believingfor something.
We take our faith stand.
That's what they did.
They took their faith stand andthey wouldn't bow the king.
He said, oh fine.
Okay.
Hot shots.
Well then we'll just crank upthe fire seven times more.
That's like you getting adiagnosis of cancer and, and you
, you, you get revved up, youstart crying a little, but you
grab the word and you're doingthe best you can.
(20:35):
And you come to church and weall gather and everybody a
annoys you with, oh and themusic's playing and Jeff is just
nailing it.
And it just feels so amazing.
And you're like, God was thereand you get your next test.
And the numbers are just alittle higher.
That's where you find out whatyou believe.
Yeah,
Speaker 3 (20:52):
That's
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Right.
Come on.
Anybody can pray when they havea problem.
Yeah.
And anybody can reduce this bookto principles.
We're applying, hoping to gethelp.
But when those numbers get alittle higher, you find out what
you believe.
That's right.
You find out if your motive islife or death or the kingdom of
God, are you trying to survive?
Are you gonna stand and believeis the motivation to your
(21:18):
prayers?
The fear of death or the promiseof life is it sentiment and
family and see.
And so, and so get married andmy grand that's we go
sentimental all the time.
I see it all the time.
And then we get confused andwonder where the fruit and the
results of our prayers are.
(21:38):
You seek.
He
Speaker 3 (21:39):
First, the kingdom of God.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
In fact, the only reason I wanna live, I love my
granddaughter.
But the reason I wanna live isnot to just watch her grow up.
That's sentimental.
That'll get cut down like an axto a tree.
The number one reason is thekingdom of
Speaker 3 (22:01):
God.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Cause only in that motive, why I have the best with
her anyway, and my love willalways be love.
And it'll never be self sent.
It'll never be her loving me.
It'll be me loving
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Her.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That's healthy.
That do you love me as twisted
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Because
Speaker 2 (22:24):
You're saying, I love you for me.
I love you for how you make mefeel.
I love you for the stability youbring.
I just love you.
You just mean everything to me.
I don't know what I do withoutyou.
There's only one that deservesthat.
And there's only one that trulyfits that.
It's not a Hollywood movie love.
It's not a starry-eyed moment.
(22:45):
That's right.
It's not a feeling and a rush ofemotion.
It's a surrendered life for thesake of another love is a
surrendered life for the sake ofanother
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Speaker 2 (22:56):
And we're called to love the goal.
Our instructions love
Speaker 3 (23:00):
.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So if, if I'm walking in love and I'm a surrendered
life for the sake of another,where's the fence, where's a
fence.
Where's frustration.
Where's discouragement have aplace to land.
All of a sudden it loses itsvoice and its reality goes out
the window cuz I'm not in theworld or I'm in the world, but
I'm not of the world.
So it's not those things.
(23:22):
Aren't alive.
Where I live.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Are
Speaker 2 (23:27):
You following me?
They're not in the kingdom.
Your will be done on As it is inheaven.
So we grasp that where the powerGod's okay.
No cancer in heaven, no canceron the earth.
And he musters up faith to pray.
And it's true.
It's scriptural.
It's good.
Good.
I'm not putting that down, butwhy is it always the power of
(23:48):
God?
Why is your will be done onearth as it is in heaven, always
have to do with miracles and thepower of God.
Why isn't it more the heart ofGod, the nature of God and the
person of God your will be done.
There's no animosity in heaven.
There's no unforgiveness.
Zero mercy rules and reigns.
(24:09):
Your will be done on earth as heis.
He is love.
He is love.
He is love in this love isperfected.
We have boldness in the day ofjudgment cuz as he is so are in
the world.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Amen
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Love is the goal.
That's right.
If we Ms.
Love, we missed the point of whyhe came.
He didn't come to fill yourbaskets and your barns.
He came to fill your heart withthe fullness of who he's and
above all these things know thelove of Christ, which passes
knowledge, know the love ofChrist, which passes knowledge
is to be filled with all thefullness of God.
(24:49):
The word means a house with noempty rooms.
You have a no vacancy sign overyou.
You're fully and completelyoccupied.
You're a ship.
So full of cargo.
There's no space to lay anotherbox.
You are his and you are completeand you are fulfilled.
(25:10):
I found my life in him, myidentity in him and my destiny
in him.
My eyes are fixed on him.
Now I'm ready to live my lifeand love the world.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Come
Speaker 2 (25:23):
On.
That's Christianity.
I'm gonna be straight, anythingless isn't Lord.
So let's grow into this truthand become this truth and give
our hearts to this truth.
That's not condemning when I sayanything else.
Isn't what I mean is it will notfulfill what he paid for.
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And you know how loving God is?
You buy a car and it don't runthe way it should.
You take it right back to thedealer.
If it don't run right again andagain.
Now it's a lemon and there'slaws.
Now you got a lemon.
You're never a lemon in thesight of
Speaker 3 (25:57):
God's try
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Wonderful.
God walked into your bedroom onthe day you missed it and said,
are you kidding me?
I killed my son for this.
You wouldn't even be able tolive.
You couldn't bear that you wouldmelt through the carpet.
And yet some people preach thatway.
(26:25):
That is not what'll change aman's life.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Could
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You imagine God doing that?
He won't.
He never will.
Why?
Cause he's love and he's not anenabler.
He's a life changer.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And all of a sudden you don't get what you know, you
deserve.
That's designed to humble.
You.
That's designed to get you tolift your eyes up from when came
your help and start being inlove.
I don't love him cuz I'msupposed to.
I don't love him cuz it's theright thing to do.
(27:01):
He wins your heart.
You can't make yourself, lovehim.
You love him cuz you see who heis and you see how he sees you.
And all of a sudden themysteries revealed and it's not,
I can't believe he loves me.
How can he love someone like me?
All of a sudden you realize yourvalue.
Isn't based on the way you'velived.
Your life.
(27:21):
Your value is based on what hecreated you for you guys.
Good.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I'm almost done.
Listen without relationshipwithout coming to him
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Without
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Humbling yourself.
Under his mighty hand, how weever be lifted up?
What?
How will your life change by youtrying to change it?
Some of you had in this room hadconvictions for a long time and
you trying to change it.
Hasn't worked.
It never will.
You wanting it changed.
Yeah.
I'm not against a little bit ofdiscipline in your life and
(28:02):
buffeting your body like Paultalks about I'm not against
that.
The end result comes by grace.
You are what you are by thegrace of God.
When you see your life changing,here's how it works.
You're saved by grace throughWhen you look in the word and
see what you're called to andcreated for and you see all
these commandments of what Godhas called you to and you take
(28:25):
'em as privileges, notresponsibilities.
And you go into prayer and youstart putting on those things by
faith and you start thanking Godand agreeing with what you're
created for and agreeing withlove and putting off human
rights and human reasoning and,and, and, and, and, and just
expectations on people.
God, I surrender these things.
Here's how it sounds like whenI'm alone, father, I thank you.
(28:47):
No one owes me anything.
The whole reason I'm alive is tolove and love.
Doesn't seek its own.
You have crushed lifeselfishness in my life and you
have removed selfishness farfrom me.
God, I thank you.
Holy spirit, that you'll lead mein this truth always.
And if ever I sway over ontothis weak side, you will cause
me to know, make me awareimmediately, cuz you're my
(29:08):
friend.
You're in me and you guide meand lead me in all truth.
Thank you for forming Christ tome.
Thank you for revealing Christthrough me.
God, I am so given to you and Iam so surrendered to you,
father.
I call you father.
That makes me your son.
I thank you for loving.
I just talk like that.
I'll be driving and just talklike that.
Thanks for fathering.
Me God, thank you for just beinga friend and a father to me.
(29:31):
Thank you for empowering me tobe a friend of you.
Like you are to me and to justlive my life by your spirit.
Holy spirit.
You're awesome.
Inside of me.
I love you so much living in methat sure.
Beats wondering where God islooking in the mirror and going
U probably all look in themirror and say, there you are
(29:55):
and I'll be driving in and I'mfigure, figuring out where I'm
going and you check your mirror,you look and you catch your rear
view.
And every once in a while I haveit turned where I just see my
own eyes and I go, whoa, I see
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
He loves it.
When I do that, it's not a thingI do.
It happens every once in awhile.
It just happens.
It's spontaneous, but he lovesit.
Yeah.
His presence, none manifests inmy little truck.
You wonder how God can come inthere like that.
And I don't teach feelings andmanifestations much, but I'll
tell you what, there's a placefor knowing.
Yeah.
And I'll be like, I see you inthere.
And he's so childlike.
I'm either totally goofy andoutta my mind, which some of you
(30:31):
might have assessed, but hedoesn't believe that he believes
that I believe him.
And he likes that.
I believe he lives in me.
He likes that.
I believe he likes me.
And he likes that.
I'm allowing that to teach mehow to like myself in a healthy
way where it's not vanity.
(30:52):
Amen, where I actually love whoI've become because now I can
fulfill the two greatestcommandments.
I can love him with everything Iam because he's loved me with
everything he is.
And I can love my neighbor asmyself.
Cuz I see myself clear How yougonna love your neighbors
yourself when you don't evenlike you deep in your heart.
When you still holding yourselfaccountable for 10 years ago,
(31:14):
three years ago, a year ago whenyou're still identifying with
what went wrong.
When you were four and five andsix, when you went over to the
babysitters and all you see isthe trauma and you look in the
mirror and all you see is thepast years and the questions why
God, how you gonna love yourneighbor.
When that's you and your view ofyourself, how you gonna love
your neighbor as yourself?
(31:35):
If that's your view of yourself.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yeah,
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I got the best look at you.
I've ever had in my life.
Cuz I see myself in him.
I know he sees you the same way.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yeah,
Speaker 2 (31:55):
He did this for all.
And if he was busy, loving melike that, he was loving you the
whole time too.
And you'll say, well, why was Itouch strong?
I don't know why I was either.
I don't even think about it.
I think about being touched,right?
I think about delivered outtadarkness delivered.
(32:16):
Maidha I think about newcreation.
Not past things.
Yes.
I don't question why my dad wasan alcoholic and why my mom died
of sickness.
It's not even on my mind.
What's on my mind is Christ inme, the hope of glory and we
already won and we're heading,we're heading somewhere.
So let's get in the race and runwell and rejoice one day that we
(32:37):
all believed and didn't growweary in.
Well do it's all rejoiced.
We didn't get sentimental andintellectual in the way of the
analytical thing I talk aboutand just reason ourself into a
mess and find a reason to not belike him, to find a reason, to
not be encouraged, to come upwith a reason and find a couple
friends that aren't encouraged.
And then they become yoursupport system and your sound
(32:58):
board.
And all they can do issympathize.
They'll never help you.
If all they can do issympathize.
Bearing your heart to yourhurting friends is not helping.
Cuz all they do is accommodateyou in your pain and understand
it.
And you call that sensitivity.
I call it enablement.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It's not that I'm not sorry that happened to you, but
I can't be sentimental with youand say, I'm so sorry that
happened to you.
I can't believe they did that toyou.
I'll just make you cry harder.
Cause it happened Now I'd bemore in the line of listen.
I'm sorry.
People do what they do.
Jesus said forgive them, father.
They don't know what they do.
If they had a revelation him,they'd never touched your own.
(33:41):
If they had a revelation to youof him, they'd have never said
that to you.
If they had a revelation to him,they'd have never done what they
did.
I think we should be crying forthem right now.
Not don't cry for yourself.
Yeah.
Listen, we don't let what theydid decide who you are on.
What he did is greater.
That's it?
And don't become a product ofwhat you've been through.
When he went through somethingto identify you.
I need you to make the shiftwith me right now.
Look, I'm being a friend.
You don't need me to cry withyou.
(34:02):
You need me to pull you out ofthis thing.
You are not stereotyped.
You are not a statistic.
Yeah, you are his now let's getup and laugh like it.
Yeah.
That's how I talked to you asyour pastor.
If your spouse just left you, Italked to you 20 minutes after
you found out your spouse leftand you're heaping mess sobbing.
(34:23):
I would have that conversationwith you after I cried with you
for 20 or 30 seconds.
But you won't get more thanthat.
If I cried 20, 30 seconds, yousee, I care you have enough.
Cause I can't force tears, but Igotta pull myself out of that
because I can't just hold youand be sorry.
They did that.
I gotta look you right in theeyes and say, listen, this isn't
too soon to tell you this.
(34:43):
You are not the product of whatone person did unless their name
is Jesus.
I am sorry.
Made this terrible decision.
Yes.
There's things we're gonna haveto walk through.
And I know we gotta talk aboutthe kids.
I am sorry.
They chose this path, but don'tyou let what they did decide who
you are.
Yeah.
And don't you let what?
They don't see, decide what youdo.
See?
Yes.
Your life is more yes than whatthey did.
(35:04):
You are no less anointed.
You are no less called and youhave no less destiny.
So now is the time we needfaith.
And now is the time we need totrust God.
So every song we've ever sangtogether in church and every
message you've ever heard nowit's the time to apply these
things.
Yes.
You don't apply these things.
So they don't happen.
You apply these things.
If they do happen, when theyhappen, it's more important to
(35:25):
have faith.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
That's right.
Come on.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
That's how I pastor.
I know you would pastor thatway.
Yeah.
And you would know, I care andI'm not being hardcore.
Cuz I would meet with you whileI'm talking to you.
Cuz I so wish they didn't choosethat.
Cuz it's real and it causesramifications, but it doesn't
have to mark you and stereotypeyour life.
(35:49):
And three years later, you'restill not the same
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Four
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Years later.
You're with somebody else.
And it's not because you'recompleted.
It's cuz you're in need and youcan't even do that justice cuz
you're still scarred by this.
And you're always looking overyour shoulder now they're
bearing the brunt of your.
It's amazing how people splitand are with somebody
(36:15):
significant immediately.
I'd rather you be with him.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
In such a way that you get so complete that if you
are ever with somebody it's outof the fullness of your life,
not the vacuum don't you letpeople try to take the place of
what?
Only he can be.
That's
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Please be with him.
Yes.
Please get alone with him.
Please talk to him.
Commune with him.
Letting go, putting off thingsthat aren't productive.
Putting off mentalities.
Call him dead.
Expose him.
Stop justifying him.
If they're not producing life,they're not the Lord.
If they're not bringing out thebest in others, they're not the
Lord.
Yeah.
(36:54):
And you put off in prayer andyou put on, can you help me?
Can you come and play something?
I don't usually do this, butI'll feel this in my heart.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
God, you're good.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
That's together.
As a family, make a big forwardstep in communion with him.
Can we do this as a family?
Yeah.
It's not an call.
You stay right where you're at,but Jeff's gonna just play and,
and touch the keys, whatever you, whatever you wanna flow and
play soft there.
Even if it's just keys and musicfor a while, if a song comes to
you, you know where I totallytrust Jesus in you buddy.
(37:30):
When they heard me preach, theyheard this message.
They wents,
Speaker 3 (37:35):
He
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Didn't want to come.
Cuz I just did a service in thelittle garage in Mississippi.
And he said, can I squeal on you?
He said I was so jaded by thingsand conference.
He said, I said, I ain't goingthe whole way down there for
that.
If this guy was anybody, it wasgood.
He wouldn't be in no garage, butI'll never forget it.
(37:56):
I started Sharon and there'sJeff, Suzanne sitting and he's
crying in the first five minutes
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Speaker 2 (38:02):
And he said, I just never witnessed anybody preach
with such conviction and embodywhat they were saying.
And they were so real about it.
It just, he said, but see that'sthat's Christ in us.
That's we can all be that way.
That's right guys.
You can carry that conviction inyour workplace because you've
been with him.
Yes, because you've been withhim.
(38:22):
Like it's not gonna happen.
If you haven't been with him,it's not gonna happen.
Cuz you listen to somebody onYouTube or sat under great
teaching on Sundays andWednesdays.
It's only gonna become life whenyou be with him.
Yeah.
You're saved by grace throughfaith.
When you get alone with him andyou release faith in his
presence, faith, all alone, youactually believe enough to be
(38:44):
alone and block out time to justbe with him.
Yeah.
That's where grace comes andmeets your faith.
And watch grace starts makingthat truth.
That thing you're seeking, gracestarts making it your reality.
And all of a sudden you come outof the room and you don't even
realize that you're different.
You're changed.
You start thinking differentprocessing, different,
(39:05):
responding, different.
And all of a sudden you realizebecause people say what happened
to you, man, you're have to man.
You this and you, you didn't tryit.
You just been with him and youdidn't bite your lip and try not
to get angry.
That means you're angry.
That means you have it downinside.
Anger management is not thekingdom.
(39:26):
Right?
Putting it off.
Yeah.
Is the kingdom?
Yes.
Anger management.
Hypocrisy.
It means I'm harboring it.
I'm just not expressing it.
I'm controlling it.
I have such discipline.
Oh, I feel this way about Jason,but I ain't gonna show it.
I'm gonna control it.
(39:48):
Cause I'm the master of my life.
I'm in control.
Look when the thing's not inhim, you don't want it in you.
Yeah.
It's not anger management.
That's right.
It's put it off.
Deal with your heart.
He said, if you got selfishseeking in you, self seeking in
you, don't boast lie against thetruth and appear to be something
(40:08):
you haven't become.
Deal with that.
Get along with God.
Surrender it.
Tell him you were never createdfor you.
I realize you never created mefor me.
I've prayed for me.
I've cried for me.
I've hurt for me.
And a lot of times haven't evenliked me.
God, I'm done with thisconfusing rat race.
(40:29):
I the best I understand.
And putting me off in yourpresence and asking you to help
me holy spirit, to learn what itmeans to deny myself, pick up my
cross and follow you.
But I honor you.
No one has loved me.
Like you love me.
No one has forgiven me and bendto me what you are to me.
And I want the beauty of what Isee in you to be the beauty of
(40:50):
what people see in me, transformmy life and make me one with you
in every way.
Not just spiritually andpositionally, but tangibly God,
I give myself to you.
You can pray that way whennobody's looking.
And that's what transforms yourlife wanting to be different
will never do it.
You'll just weigh what?
(41:10):
You're not doing that rightthere.
That right there, transformingit reveals your sincerity.
It marks your faith and itwelcomes holy spirit.
And then you are what you are bythe grace of God.
So the more you see yourselfchanging and the more people see
you changing, the more you cryand say, oh my goodness, you're
(41:31):
so good.
You are really doing this in me.
And then don't be afraid.
You'll get like me.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Don't let that deter you.
I'm just me.
You be the best you that's.
Right.
But what happens is you go, ohmy goodness.
Or you just go through thebiggest thing at work where you
know, you'd have been a basketcase and sudden you realize you
didn't even see it that way andit didn't even affect you.
And you're driving home and yourealize two months ago I had a
fell apart and I didn't eventhink about being shook and all
(42:02):
of a sudden you're in your carweeping.
Wouldn't it be great if you haveto pull over on the shoulder and
just weep cuz you know he'sworking in you effectively, cuz
you've been with him.
Cause you've been with
Speaker 6 (42:14):
Him.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Please.
Don't talk about him please.
Don't just listen to songs abouthim and fail to be with him.
Yes, please.
Don't just say what he says andnot be with
Speaker 6 (42:23):
Him.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Please.
Don't let, knowing about him.
Take the place of knowing him.
Cause this is eternal life.
This is eternal life that youmight know him.
So we're gonna enter in rightnow to just a little moment.
I'm gonna just probably justforget you're in the room for a
second and I want you to forgetI'm in the room and I want to
(42:48):
help springboard you.
If you've been struggling.
If you're struggling at home,just getting alone with him.
If you don't know what to say oryou just feel self-conscious get
the communion elements, justgrab the bread in the cup and go
in a bedroom and startremembering him.
Just go back to Sunday schooland children's church and the
things you've learned in yourlife, even in services and, and
just lift your eyes up to theceiling and keep him open maybe.
(43:10):
And just Jesus.
This represents you by let it bea springboard communication.
Let the communion elements bespringboard to stir your heart
and trigger your language.
The Lord taught me a long timeago.
He said people lack intimacywith me.
They don't get close to me.
Teach communion as a springboardto intimacy.
Speaker 6 (43:32):
Start
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Talking about his body.
You gave your life for me notcuz you were mad at me.
Not cuz you felt sorry for mecuz you loved me.
And you knew that what I wasliving.
I'm so much more in you.
Thank you for not giving up onme.
Thank you for not judging me.
Thank you for not coming mad.
Just a humble meek,
Speaker 6 (43:53):
Loving
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Savior general and kind but so powerful.
The lion and the land.
It's amazing.
Thanks for what you've done thebest.
I understand.
I yield my body to you and Igive myself to you and I ask you
to mold me and shape me intoeverything you desire.
Thank you for covenant.
Speaker 6 (44:13):
And you
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Take, you just activate your heart.
You take the cup and then youjust begin to talk to him and be
real.
Just like if we were driving inthe car and you're asking
questions, pastoral questions,ministry questions, just get
along with God.
Just be
Speaker 6 (44:26):
With him.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
When you get with him, know this, he loves you,
you and he wants to father you.
So father, we just come to youin closing right now and we just
gonna open our heart.
We're gonna say, we believe thatyou love us.
I'm gonna get personal.
Now.
I want you to activate faith.
And even if you just listen alittle as an example of what I'm
(44:49):
doing and you just startactivating your heart and
personalize it, it's a goodstep.
I saw to do this.
I felt like God wants tospringboard us into intimacy and
just have a little corporatetime together that inspires us
to go be alone with him, father.
I thank you that you love me.
I thank you that over years ofweakness and misunderstanding
and reactions to life, you neverchanged your mind about me.
(45:12):
You never changed your mindabout my value.
You never changed your mindabout my destiny.
You did not rewrite a book outin front of me, but instead you
wooed me and you drew me and youcame to me and you turned my
heart to you.
And I thank you that you're notmad at me.
I thank you that you forgive me.
I thank you that you washed meclean of everything that I have
ever done.
(45:33):
I thank you that you're pleasedto give me the kingdom.
You said I should never fear.
And you called me a little sheepin the flock and never to fear
cuz it's your good pleasure.
It's not your burden.
It's not your obligation.
It's your pleasure to give methe kingdom.
And I just thank you for givingme who you are and the way you
(45:54):
function.
And I thank you that the depthsof your heart and the depths of
your being become the reality ofmy life.
I don't want to just serve you.
I don't just want to do gooddeeds.
I don't wanna be seen by men asa, as a, as a, as a good doer or
a do gooder.
I wanna be seen as yours.
I wanna be seen for your imagefor your love, for your nature.
(46:16):
And I just thank you.
You're doing a work on theinside of me.

kingdom father.

It's so important to believeyou're forgiven right now,
father, you forgive me ofeverything I've ever done.
If you've forgiven me ofeverything I've ever done, who
am I to hold someone accountablefor something they've done in a
way where I shut up my heart orshut them up in my heart, Lord,

all away.
It's never produced anything.

with that language.
Nobody owes me a thing.
And I'm done with justificationsand rightness.
I'm done with human rights.

You don't have to meet with himfor an hour a day.
He, he lives in you talk to him,commune with him, teach yourself
to know him.
By being with him.
I picked up the young man righthere yesterday.
(53:47):
I said we wouldn't drive 50miles and not talk.
You know, what's sweet.
I still don't even really gothis name sealed in me.
I didn't even know if I asked orremembered.
He might have told me, but hedidn't stick in me.
So I still don't even know hisname.
But watch this.
If seven days in a row, we drove50 miles together and back and
forth.
And we just hung out for a weekthat way.
(54:09):
And you mentioned his name afterseven days with my heart, I
could say, oh yeah, I know him.
Why?
Cause I've been with him.
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (54:21):
You
Speaker 2 (54:22):
Don't know Jesus.
Cuz you went to Sunday school.
You don't know Jesus even cuzyou noted an order one day, you
know Jesus, cuz you've been withhim.
Nothing compares in your wholelife to the ability to be with
(54:43):
him.
It's given back odd the grace tobe with him.
There's nothing that compares tothat.
Seeing a healing is amazing.
Getting word of knowledge isfun.
I promise you it tales

Speaker 2 (00:12):
I wanna talk about how simple it is to be
transformed, not frustrating andnot a long process that
stretches people, cuz peoplehave think, well I'm processing
brother.
And 10 years later, they gotsome of the same things.
They're like, well, he is doinga work in me now, 18 years in
(00:32):
they've learned a languagecalled Christian, but they
haven't become more like you.
You're saying,
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Well,
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It takes a while.
Brother, he's working.
He's not missing the chisel.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You gotta yield and adapt yourself to him.
You gotta, it's just like amarriage.
The Bible says, husbands, loveyour wives.
That's what it says.
And, and then it, it, it sayswives you're to submit to your
own husbands as under the Lord.
And it's amazing how that's beenhammered and preached and, and
your wives have become theservants of the men.
(01:25):
It's just crazy.
It says wives submit your ownhusbands as under the Lord.
That's the only thing he says tothe wife.
And then the rest of thechapters to the husband.
Love your wife, tells you washerand nurture her with the water
(01:45):
of the word and love her.
Just like Christ love church,the whole thing's to the
husband.
And we take the word submit andturn it into slavery.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
The word submit, break it down.
Look at it.
It means yield and adaptyourself to your own husband as
you would to the Lord.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You know how, how you're reading your Bible ladies
and you love the Lord and youreading your Bible and you see
something, the Bible's callingyou too.
The word's calling you too.
And you get a conviction in yourheart and you go, oh wow.
And, and, and, and in your heartright now, you have this desire,
but the Bible's calling youhere.
So you make adjustments.
You pray, you weep a little andyou begin to position yourself
for change.
You position yourself.
(02:23):
To love him, to yield to him, tobecome more like him, right?
It's the same thing in yourmarriage.
You get married and preferencesget different.
Sometimes you don't havestraight up agreement on every
detail.
Why do you have to have a feud?
Cuz you don't have agreement.
Love's supposed to be greater.
Love.
Love doesn't mean you agree oneverything.
Love means.
(02:43):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Amen.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So that word submit just means yield and adapt
yourself yield and adaptyourself to your own husband so
you can yield and adaptyourself.
So we do that to the Lord.
We yield and adapt ourself tohim.
We we're clay.
He's the Potter.
The clay doesn't make itselfinto anything.
The clay will always be clayunless it's placed in the hand
(03:11):
of the Potter.
If you study out clay in thePotter, it's a neat teaching.
If you, if you're into them kindof teachings, it's it's just
neat.
The Potter.
If the, if the Clay's notpliable, if it's not moist
enough, if it's not in the rightcondition, where would that come
in with?
You just yielded.
Truly yielded.
Sincere.
(03:32):
Come on.
Sincere.
Let me tell you what qualifiessincerity.
When you take your convictionsand get alone with God, take a
walk, shut a door, shuteverything down till you get
ahold of your conviction beforethe Lord.
So he gets ahold of you.
Amen.
That's sincere.
It's one thing to get convicted.
It's another thing to followthrough with it and act out on
(03:54):
it.
Put yourself in a place whereit's just you and him and say,
you know what?
I believe you see me this way.
I believe you made me for thisLord.
I haven't been walking in this.
I haven't even felt this desirein my heart, but I realize
you've called me to this and I'myielding you.
And I'm asking you a holy spiritto just begin to empower me and
stir my heart and steer me intothis place because I see this is
(04:15):
what you've created me for God.
I just renounce this and I letit go.
And Lord, it's not that I'mbiting my lip, trying not to do
it anymore.
I don't believe it's what I'mcalled to be.
And I don't believe it's what Iwant to be anymore.
I'm convicted.
You have my attention.
There's change in my life.
You talk like that to God andstay very answer conscious.
(04:35):
Not can't believe I did that.
God would you please forgive me?
God, I am such a mess up father.
When are you gonna change thisold wretched heart?
You will never be changed.
Talking like that.
That's how people pray.
They get in a room and they getself-conscious and they proud
all their problems and all theirsins and all their bad stuff.
And we call that confession.
I call it a messed up identityand you'll leave the room worse
(04:57):
off than when you went in.
You'll be more aware and focusedon what's wrong with you than
what he makes.
Right?
Wonder if you know something'swrong in your life and you get
convicted and you say, man, Igotta deal with this.
And you walk in your room.
Wouldn't it be amazing to walkin humbly and God sees your
heart.
And the fact that you're thereand you just close the door,
(05:18):
Lord, I'm done being in denial.
I've been letting this thingrake my conscience for three
weeks now.
And I haven't even talked to youabout it.
Thanks for forgiving me.
Thanks for loving me soon.
When you ask him to forgive you,you always wonder if you're
forgiven.
That's how people get.
It's strange.
Your language, just changingyour view is so simple.
Thank you for forgiving me.
Cause you are confessing it.
(05:38):
You are taking response.
Thanks for forgive me, man.
If I confess my sin to you,you're faith will just to
forgive me and cleanse me of all.
I thank you to God.
I'm not standing here dirty.
I'm not filthy.
I'm not disgusting to you.
You pulled me out of darkness.
You brought me into the light.
You are the one that's washingme and making me clean and
maturing me through all thisstuff into the man.
(06:00):
You've called me to be God, I amdone denying what's going on in
my conscience.
That is nothing to do with whatI'm creative for, nothing to do
with I'm called to I give up theright to believe that, to feel
that way I'm done holding themso accountable.
God, I wanna see them throughyour eyes and I, you myself to
you.
And I thank you for the workyou're doing in my life.
Holy spirit.
(06:20):
I welcome you.
And thank you for being a friendof me and leading me in truth.
That ha you're either outta yourmind and need to go play tennis
or get a hobby or God's in theroom and he's gonna change you.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you say, I am sincere whenyour sincere sincerity puts you
in that place.
(06:41):
Sincerity has a fruit to it,that's it.
You can procrastinate.
You can say the right things andnever position yourself for
them.
And then you live with a, aconvicted conscience or violated
conscience for long enough.
You slowly get condemned.
If all you do is just read yourBible and just read your Bible
and just read your Bible.
And don't get along with him andapply your convictions of what
(07:04):
you're getting through the Bibleto relationships.
So his grace can make you whatyou're reading.
You'll get so full of theknowledge of God without the
revelation of God in your life.
That the word will turn on youand judge you, even though he's
not judging you, you have somuch knowledge and you'll start
weighing your knowledge againstyour life and you'll get
(07:26):
condemned and you'll take yourown test and be your own judge.
And you'll decide how valuableyou are and you'll decide how
good you're doing you.
You're not the teacher and thestudent.
You don't take the test.
And then judge the score.
You wake up and enjoy being hisyes, I've watched the word
(07:47):
because the books alive.
And if you don't grow inrelationship with the
understanding of grace, thisworks thing, this legalistic
thing, this thing will come inand the knowledge of the word
will turn.
You'll you'll let it shift andjudge where you're not instead
of inspire where you're called.
(08:09):
That's right.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
And then you'll say stuff likethis way, that SEMO right to a
man SEMO, right?
SEMO.
Right?
You'll think it's humility.
You'll think it's penance orsomething.
Well, you know, I'm bringingthis on myself.
I, I should know better.
I mean, there's no repentance inthat there's judgment.
Then you say I'm getting what Ideserve and should have dealt
(08:29):
with this months ago.
Okay.
How's that gonna redeem thesituation and how are you gonna
leave the day feeling anyclearer about yourself in Christ
than before?
Because that's the goal to seeyourself in him to see yourself
the way he sees you.
I'm just giving some littlepractical general examples
(08:49):
trying to help.
I just know that this thingright here is never just quiet.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Musicing and meditating constantly.
You know, I've been sharing thislately.
It's been on my heart to amplifyand clarify this a high IQ.
Intellect is a gift to have anhigh IQ.
Doesn't need it to mean it's acurse and you're selling
intellectual.
I think that's cool.
If you have a high leftanalytical yeah.
Is not a gift, right?
Analytical is never the LordI'll explain it.
(09:24):
Oh, I feel that a little bit.
Stop boasting.
It's not a gift.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
People say, well, God gave us the ability to reason.
Not in analytical thinking.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yes,
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's right.
Here's what analytical thinking.
Does it empowers you to talkyourself out of him to talk
yourself outta worthy, to talkyourself outta love.
It makes simple thingscomplicated.
Yes.
God loves you.
I don't know how he can love me.
(10:04):
Eh, loves you.
Well, yeah, but I have a hardtime believing he can love me
after all.
I, I mean, I knew for years I'vebeen in church and I went
against, eh, loves you.
How can you be so sure brother.
Cause Christ is hanging on thattree.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Love you.
Here's what he's not saying.
Take a good look at me.
People.
I hope you're satisfied.
Now look at your sin has done tome.
Don't you think it's time tochange and turn and repent and
come back to the father.
Hope you get the message guys.
Time for change Is never thecross don't you ever preach the
(10:46):
gospel that way.
Here's the cross.
I love you.
I know who you are.
I've known you from thebeginning.
I know why you're here.
I know your purpose.
I know your potential, yourlives have great value to me.
It's why the father's pleased tolet this happen to me.
So then my dying, you can livein my raising.
You could be justified that wecould get the lie off of you and
(11:09):
put the truth back into you.
You're worth every penny of thissacrifice.
You're worth it.
Us, nobody buys what they don'tthink has the value they're
paying for your life is worth myblood.
Your life is worth my life.
Come to me and live.
That's the cross.
(11:30):
It's the goodness.
No preacher in my life ever toldme that he hung on the cross
because of my value.
They all told me he hung on thecross cuz of my sin.
Oh, he had to die because Isinned.
I get that.
But that's not a play on words.
Of course he had to die becauseI sin.
But he didn't die.
Cuz I'm a sinner.
(11:50):
He died cuz I was a lost son.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
He died.
Cuz my created value wassubverted and covered over by
sin and selfishness had takenover love and my purpose and
reason for being got shaded andclouded.
And I went from being in theimage of God to a form and back
to the clay.
So Jesus does what he doesraises from the dead and life
(12:17):
breathes back in man.
And now we have the gardenagain, the tree's still there
and the voice is stillwhispering.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Follow
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Him.
And the blood is speaking
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Better things.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Paul says, what should we do sin cuz wonder
grace and not the law.
Certainly not.
God forbid right.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Is so powerful.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Why do I preach this way all the time?
Because nobody loves God first.
Unless they see his first
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Loves
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You.
Be honest with me growing up asa youngster.
How many felt more indebtedtowards God than in love with
God.
How many watched a crucifixionmovie and thought, wow.
Preacher said my sin did that tohim.
He really took a beat and I'mnot sure living much for him.
And I don't feel like I canchange.
And you felt guilt.
He watching that stuff.
And even though your heart movedand you believed in him, you
(13:15):
didn't know how to change andyou never fully felt real close
to him.
You never felt like this growingup.
Most of us who relates to whatI'm saying.
And, and I quit going to church,that was my choice.
18 years old, just stoppedgoing, saw some dysfunction in
the leader and, and saw somemessing around and, and judged
it and said, well, this is thecross and this is Christianity
(13:36):
and this is Christianity and thegospel.
I don't want nothing to do.
No, it's not.
That's the weakness andfallacies of men.
It doesn't change God.
But it's amazing how we look atpeople representing God or
speaking God as the image ofGod.
So then we look at their imageand get a Yeah.
So by the age of 20, I didn'twant nothing to do with church.
So for 13 long years, I didn'tgo nowhere.
(13:57):
Dark, sad time.
And Jesus showed up at work.
One day just walked in, spoke tomy heart and I thought it was my
mind.
He changed me forever.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yay.
I'm just so glad I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Why'd he do you do that?
Because he loved me.
And where sin about did graceabounded much more?
So he called me outta darknessand brought me into the light.
Seemed like I had a debt.
I could never pay.
Seemed like I owed him more thanI could give.
So he said, I'll tell you whatI'll give and I'll put
(14:37):
everything you are on my son.
So everything in my son can comeback into you and I'll just do
this great exchange, theinnocent for the guilty and
you'll go free.
And I go, well, you're amazing.
Yeah.
I love you.
This amazing love for you isstir in my heart.
You make me love you.
(14:59):
Yeah.
That's the point, Dan I've lovedyou from the beginning.
I wanna restore what we had fromthe beginning.
Lord.
I really, really love you.
Yeah, I know it's cuz I lovedyou from the beginning.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Wow.
I love you.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That?
Sure.
Beats serving the Lord,
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Letting
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Your Christian service take the place of
knowing him, letting theministry you serve in.
Take the place of knowing him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause serving in the ministrywon't change your disposition.
That's right.
Knowing him will.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Serving in the ministry.
Won't change your motives.
Knowing him will.
Yeah.
You could serve in a ministryand start feeling like people
owe you.
You could serve in the ministryand be in dig towards people and
still have preferences and bebiased.
You can serve in a ministry foraffirmation.
And then when they don't giveit, you can get hurt and go
serve in another ministry andcarry that hurt with you.
(16:02):
And after four ministries you'rehurt and mess
Speaker 3 (16:06):
And
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You don't need an order call.
You don't need ministry at theorder.
You need to change your mind.
Yeah.
That's right.
You need to change your heart.
That's right there.
Ain't enough prayer in theplanet.
It ain't about prayer.
It's about truth.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's about truth.
It's not always about prayer.
Yeah.
I need prayer.
No, you might need truth.
Yeah.
I never read a scripture thatsaid ministry makes you free.
Yeah, but I did read thescriptures.
He said truth will wonder if youjust need to believe a little
different.
I wonder if you need to just seea little different cuz your eye
(16:41):
is the lamp of your body.
And if you see clear, you'll beclear.
Says if you don't see clear, youwon't be clear.
And if you don't see clear justhow clear won't to be.
That's my paraphrase.
It's it goes like this.
The eye is the lamp of yourbody.
And if your eye is single, yourwhole body is flooded with
(17:05):
light.
If your eye is not singledarkness encroaches.
And if the light in you see whatyou're created for.
If the light in you is darkness,just how great is the darkness.
It means how twisted is yourview.
So if what you're believing isproducing darkness, it cannot be
truth.
(17:26):
If what you're thinking andbelieving, isn't producing life
and exciting your heart andmoving you forward in God,
you're believing a lie.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Come on.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He came to give you life and life more abundantly.
That's right.
Yeah.
But brother, you don'tunderstand my situation.
No stop.
You're raising your situationabove what I'm preaching.
So you can hear what I'mpreaching.
You're making your situationmatter more than the truth that
wants to rescue you out of thatlaw.
Yeah.
Why do your circumstances haveto change for you to change?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Why
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Does your trouble have to go?
Jesus did not put out the fire.
Fourth man in the furnace, neverER's fire Shara Meach and Vango.
Jesus did not bring myriads ofangels with holy water and do
the fire.
Right?
The fire kept raging to put outthe fire is to honor it, to say
(18:28):
it's a threat to them.
The fire's not the problem.
It's wrong.
Believing it's getting your eyeson something that doesn't
matter.
Most it's worshiping something.
That's not the Lord.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Whether
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's your own life, whether it's your own person,
whether it's your own wellbeing,that can all be idolatry.
The only way you overcome is tolove not your own life under
death.
So the thing that's a problem isnot the fire.
It's never the fire.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Never the fire come on.
Most of us are praying thatthere's no fire.
Cuz we're afraid of fire.
Just this message freaks peopleout sometimes.
What do you do in prophesyingtrials?
No, the Bible says the wiseman's going through the same
storm as the foolish.
Yeah.
It's not cuz he opened a door.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Right?
Try it.
Try it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It's cause he heard the word And Satan comes for the
word sake.
Not your sake, that's it.
He ain't afraid of you at all.
He's afraid of the word.
That's it?
The reason you become a focalpoint is cuz the word was put
into you.
Yeah.
And now you can be somethingthat he's very threatened by.
Yeah.
He ain't.
After you, you don't take himperson.
You take the gospel person andbecome what God paid for.
(19:52):
Come on.
You take no account of thesethings.
It's not about you going throughhardship.
It's about you becoming theperson he created for you to be
and standing strong.
It, it flips me out that story.
That, that, that story flips meout with a fire number.
Kezer cuz the king gave iturgent decree to make it seven
times hotter.
Well that's that's symbolic andnew Testament, faith of you.
(20:15):
And I just praying and believingfor something.
We take our faith stand.
That's what they did.
They took their faith stand andthey wouldn't bow the king.
He said, oh fine.
Okay.
Hot shots.
Well then we'll just crank upthe fire seven times more.
That's like you getting adiagnosis of cancer and, and you
, you, you get revved up, youstart crying a little, but you
grab the word and you're doingthe best you can.
(20:35):
And you come to church and weall gather and everybody a
annoys you with, oh and themusic's playing and Jeff is just
nailing it.
And it just feels so amazing.
And you're like, God was thereand you get your next test.
And the numbers are just alittle higher.
That's where you find out whatyou believe.
Yeah,
Speaker 3 (20:52):
That's
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Right.
Come on.
Anybody can pray when they havea problem.
Yeah.
And anybody can reduce this bookto principles.
We're applying, hoping to gethelp.
But when those numbers get alittle higher, you find out what
you believe.
That's right.
You find out if your motive islife or death or the kingdom of
God, are you trying to survive?
Are you gonna stand and believeis the motivation to your
(21:18):
prayers?
The fear of death or the promiseof life is it sentiment and
family and see.
And so, and so get married andmy grand that's we go
sentimental all the time.
I see it all the time.
And then we get confused andwonder where the fruit and the
results of our prayers are.
(21:38):
You seek.
He
Speaker 3 (21:39):
First, the kingdom of God.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
In fact, the only reason I wanna live, I love my
granddaughter.
But the reason I wanna live isnot to just watch her grow up.
That's sentimental.
That'll get cut down like an axto a tree.
The number one reason is thekingdom of
Speaker 3 (22:01):
God.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Cause only in that motive, why I have the best with
her anyway, and my love willalways be love.
And it'll never be self sent.
It'll never be her loving me.
It'll be me loving
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Her.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That's healthy.
That do you love me as twisted
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Because
Speaker 2 (22:24):
You're saying, I love you for me.
I love you for how you make mefeel.
I love you for the stability youbring.
I just love you.
You just mean everything to me.
I don't know what I do withoutyou.
There's only one that deservesthat.
And there's only one that trulyfits that.
It's not a Hollywood movie love.
It's not a starry-eyed moment.
(22:45):
That's right.
It's not a feeling and a rush ofemotion.
It's a surrendered life for thesake of another love is a
surrendered life for the sake ofanother
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Speaker 2 (22:56):
And we're called to love the goal.
Our instructions love
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So if, if I'm walking in love and I'm a surrendered
life for the sake of another,where's the fence, where's a
fence.
Where's frustration.
Where's discouragement have aplace to land.
All of a sudden it loses itsvoice and its reality goes out
the window cuz I'm not in theworld or I'm in the world, but
I'm not of the world.
So it's not those things.
(23:22):
Aren't alive.
Where I live.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Are
Speaker 2 (23:27):
You following me?
They're not in the kingdom.
Your will be done on As it is inheaven.
So we grasp that where the powerGod's okay.
No cancer in heaven, no canceron the earth.
And he musters up faith to pray.
And it's true.
It's scriptural.
It's good.
Good.
I'm not putting that down, butwhy is it always the power of
(23:48):
God?
Why is your will be done onearth as it is in heaven, always
have to do with miracles and thepower of God.
Why isn't it more the heart ofGod, the nature of God and the
person of God your will be done.
There's no animosity in heaven.
There's no unforgiveness.
Zero mercy rules and reigns.
(24:09):
Your will be done on earth as heis.
He is love.
He is love.
He is love in this love isperfected.
We have boldness in the day ofjudgment cuz as he is so are in
the world.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Amen
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Love is the goal.
That's right.
If we Ms.
Love, we missed the point of whyhe came.
He didn't come to fill yourbaskets and your barns.
He came to fill your heart withthe fullness of who he's and
above all these things know thelove of Christ, which passes
knowledge, know the love ofChrist, which passes knowledge
is to be filled with all thefullness of God.
(24:49):
The word means a house with noempty rooms.
You have a no vacancy sign overyou.
You're fully and completelyoccupied.
You're a ship.
So full of cargo.
There's no space to lay anotherbox.
You are his and you are completeand you are fulfilled.
(25:10):
I found my life in him, myidentity in him and my destiny
in him.
My eyes are fixed on him.
Now I'm ready to live my lifeand love the world.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Come
Speaker 2 (25:23):
On.
That's Christianity.
I'm gonna be straight, anythingless isn't Lord.
So let's grow into this truthand become this truth and give
our hearts to this truth.
That's not condemning when I sayanything else.
Isn't what I mean is it will notfulfill what he paid for.
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And you know how loving God is?
You buy a car and it don't runthe way it should.
You take it right back to thedealer.
If it don't run right again andagain.
Now it's a lemon and there'slaws.
Now you got a lemon.
You're never a lemon in thesight of
Speaker 3 (25:57):
God's try
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Wonderful.
God walked into your bedroom onthe day you missed it and said,
are you kidding me?
I killed my son for this.
You wouldn't even be able tolive.
You couldn't bear that you wouldmelt through the carpet.
And yet some people preach thatway.
(26:25):
That is not what'll change aman's life.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Could
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You imagine God doing that?
He won't.
He never will.
Why?
Cause he's love and he's not anenabler.
He's a life changer.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And all of a sudden you don't get what you know, you
deserve.
That's designed to humble.
You.
That's designed to get you tolift your eyes up from when came
your help and start being inlove.
I don't love him cuz I'msupposed to.
I don't love him cuz it's theright thing to do.
(27:01):
He wins your heart.
You can't make yourself, lovehim.
You love him cuz you see who heis and you see how he sees you.
And all of a sudden themysteries revealed and it's not,
I can't believe he loves me.
How can he love someone like me?
All of a sudden you realize yourvalue.
Isn't based on the way you'velived.
Your life.
(27:21):
Your value is based on what hecreated you for you guys.
Good.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I'm almost done.
Listen without relationshipwithout coming to him
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Without
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Humbling yourself.
Under his mighty hand, how weever be lifted up?
What?
How will your life change by youtrying to change it?
Some of you had in this room hadconvictions for a long time and
you trying to change it.
Hasn't worked.
It never will.
You wanting it changed.
Yeah.
I'm not against a little bit ofdiscipline in your life and
(28:02):
buffeting your body like Paultalks about I'm not against
that.
The end result comes by grace.
You are what you are by thegrace of God.
When you see your life changing,here's how it works.
You're saved by grace throughWhen you look in the word and
see what you're called to andcreated for and you see all
these commandments of what Godhas called you to and you take
(28:25):
'em as privileges, notresponsibilities.
And you go into prayer and youstart putting on those things by
faith and you start thanking Godand agreeing with what you're
created for and agreeing withlove and putting off human
rights and human reasoning and,and, and, and, and, and just
expectations on people.
God, I surrender these things.
Here's how it sounds like whenI'm alone, father, I thank you.
(28:47):
No one owes me anything.
The whole reason I'm alive is tolove and love.
Doesn't seek its own.
You have crushed lifeselfishness in my life and you
have removed selfishness farfrom me.
God, I thank you.
Holy spirit, that you'll lead mein this truth always.
And if ever I sway over ontothis weak side, you will cause
me to know, make me awareimmediately, cuz you're my
(29:08):
friend.
You're in me and you guide meand lead me in all truth.
Thank you for forming Christ tome.
Thank you for revealing Christthrough me.
God, I am so given to you and Iam so surrendered to you,
father.
I call you father.
That makes me your son.
I thank you for loving.
I just talk like that.
I'll be driving and just talklike that.
Thanks for fathering.
Me God, thank you for just beinga friend and a father to me.
(29:31):
Thank you for empowering me tobe a friend of you.
Like you are to me and to justlive my life by your spirit.
Holy spirit.
You're awesome.
Inside of me.
I love you so much living in methat sure.
Beats wondering where God islooking in the mirror and going
U probably all look in themirror and say, there you are
(29:55):
and I'll be driving in and I'mfigure, figuring out where I'm
going and you check your mirror,you look and you catch your rear
view.
And every once in a while I haveit turned where I just see my
own eyes and I go, whoa, I see
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
He loves it.
When I do that, it's not a thingI do.
It happens every once in awhile.
It just happens.
It's spontaneous, but he lovesit.
Yeah.
His presence, none manifests inmy little truck.
You wonder how God can come inthere like that.
And I don't teach feelings andmanifestations much, but I'll
tell you what, there's a placefor knowing.
Yeah.
And I'll be like, I see you inthere.
And he's so childlike.
I'm either totally goofy andoutta my mind, which some of you
(30:31):
might have assessed, but hedoesn't believe that he believes
that I believe him.
And he likes that.
I believe he lives in me.
He likes that.
I believe he likes me.
And he likes that.
I'm allowing that to teach mehow to like myself in a healthy
way where it's not vanity.
(30:52):
Amen, where I actually love whoI've become because now I can
fulfill the two greatestcommandments.
I can love him with everything Iam because he's loved me with
everything he is.
And I can love my neighbor asmyself.
Cuz I see myself clear How yougonna love your neighbors
yourself when you don't evenlike you deep in your heart.
When you still holding yourselfaccountable for 10 years ago,
(31:14):
three years ago, a year ago whenyou're still identifying with
what went wrong.
When you were four and five andsix, when you went over to the
babysitters and all you see isthe trauma and you look in the
mirror and all you see is thepast years and the questions why
God, how you gonna love yourneighbor.
When that's you and your view ofyourself, how you gonna love
your neighbor as yourself?
(31:35):
If that's your view of yourself.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yeah,
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I got the best look at you.
I've ever had in my life.
Cuz I see myself in him.
I know he sees you the same way.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yeah,
Speaker 2 (31:55):
He did this for all.
And if he was busy, loving melike that, he was loving you the
whole time too.
And you'll say, well, why was Itouch strong?
I don't know why I was either.
I don't even think about it.
I think about being touched,right?
I think about delivered outtadarkness delivered.
(32:16):
Maidha I think about newcreation.
Not past things.
Yes.
I don't question why my dad wasan alcoholic and why my mom died
of sickness.
It's not even on my mind.
What's on my mind is Christ inme, the hope of glory and we
already won and we're heading,we're heading somewhere.
So let's get in the race and runwell and rejoice one day that we
(32:37):
all believed and didn't growweary in.
Well do it's all rejoiced.
We didn't get sentimental andintellectual in the way of the
analytical thing I talk aboutand just reason ourself into a
mess and find a reason to not belike him, to find a reason, to
not be encouraged, to come upwith a reason and find a couple
friends that aren't encouraged.
And then they become yoursupport system and your sound
(32:58):
board.
And all they can do issympathize.
They'll never help you.
If all they can do issympathize.
Bearing your heart to yourhurting friends is not helping.
Cuz all they do is accommodateyou in your pain and understand
it.
And you call that sensitivity.
I call it enablement.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It's not that I'm not sorry that happened to you, but
I can't be sentimental with youand say, I'm so sorry that
happened to you.
I can't believe they did that toyou.
I'll just make you cry harder.
Cause it happened Now I'd bemore in the line of listen.
I'm sorry.
People do what they do.
Jesus said forgive them, father.
They don't know what they do.
If they had a revelation him,they'd never touched your own.
(33:41):
If they had a revelation to youof him, they'd have never said
that to you.
If they had a revelation to him,they'd have never done what they
did.
I think we should be crying forthem right now.
Not don't cry for yourself.
Yeah.
Listen, we don't let what theydid decide who you are on.
What he did is greater.
That's it?
And don't become a product ofwhat you've been through.
When he went through somethingto identify you.
I need you to make the shiftwith me right now.
Look, I'm being a friend.
You don't need me to cry withyou.
(34:02):
You need me to pull you out ofthis thing.
You are not stereotyped.
You are not a statistic.
Yeah, you are his now let's getup and laugh like it.
Yeah.
That's how I talked to you asyour pastor.
If your spouse just left you, Italked to you 20 minutes after
you found out your spouse leftand you're heaping mess sobbing.
(34:23):
I would have that conversationwith you after I cried with you
for 20 or 30 seconds.
But you won't get more thanthat.
If I cried 20, 30 seconds, yousee, I care you have enough.
Cause I can't force tears, but Igotta pull myself out of that
because I can't just hold youand be sorry.
They did that.
I gotta look you right in theeyes and say, listen, this isn't
too soon to tell you this.
(34:43):
You are not the product of whatone person did unless their name
is Jesus.
I am sorry.
Made this terrible decision.
Yes.
There's things we're gonna haveto walk through.
And I know we gotta talk aboutthe kids.
I am sorry.
They chose this path, but don'tyou let what they did decide who
you are.
Yeah.
And don't you let what?
They don't see, decide what youdo.
See?
Yes.
Your life is more yes than whatthey did.
(35:04):
You are no less anointed.
You are no less called and youhave no less destiny.
So now is the time we needfaith.
And now is the time we need totrust God.
So every song we've ever sangtogether in church and every
message you've ever heard nowit's the time to apply these
things.
Yes.
You don't apply these things.
So they don't happen.
You apply these things.
If they do happen, when theyhappen, it's more important to
(35:25):
have faith.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
That's right.
Come on.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
That's how I pastor.
I know you would pastor thatway.
Yeah.
And you would know, I care andI'm not being hardcore.
Cuz I would meet with you whileI'm talking to you.
Cuz I so wish they didn't choosethat.
Cuz it's real and it causesramifications, but it doesn't
have to mark you and stereotypeyour life.
(35:49):
And three years later, you'restill not the same
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Four
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Years later.
You're with somebody else.
And it's not because you'recompleted.
It's cuz you're in need and youcan't even do that justice cuz
you're still scarred by this.
And you're always looking overyour shoulder now they're
bearing the brunt of your.
It's amazing how people splitand are with somebody
(36:15):
significant immediately.
I'd rather you be with him.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
In such a way that you get so complete that if you
are ever with somebody it's outof the fullness of your life,
not the vacuum don't you letpeople try to take the place of
what?
Only he can be.
That's
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Please be with him.
Yes.
Please get alone with him.
Please talk to him.
Commune with him.
Letting go, putting off thingsthat aren't productive.
Putting off mentalities.
Call him dead.
Expose him.
Stop justifying him.
If they're not producing life,they're not the Lord.
If they're not bringing out thebest in others, they're not the
Lord.
Yeah.
(36:54):
And you put off in prayer andyou put on, can you help me?
Can you come and play something?
I don't usually do this, butI'll feel this in my heart.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
God, you're good.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
That's together.
As a family, make a big forwardstep in communion with him.
Can we do this as a family?
Yeah.
It's not an call.
You stay right where you're at,but Jeff's gonna just play and,
and touch the keys, whatever you, whatever you wanna flow and
play soft there.
Even if it's just keys and musicfor a while, if a song comes to
you, you know where I totallytrust Jesus in you buddy.
(37:30):
When they heard me preach, theyheard this message.
They wents,
Speaker 3 (37:35):
He
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Didn't want to come.
Cuz I just did a service in thelittle garage in Mississippi.
And he said, can I squeal on you?
He said I was so jaded by thingsand conference.
He said, I said, I ain't goingthe whole way down there for
that.
If this guy was anybody, it wasgood.
He wouldn't be in no garage, butI'll never forget it.
(37:56):
I started Sharon and there'sJeff, Suzanne sitting and he's
crying in the first five minutes
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Speaker 2 (38:02):
And he said, I just never witnessed anybody preach
with such conviction and embodywhat they were saying.
And they were so real about it.
It just, he said, but see that'sthat's Christ in us.
That's we can all be that way.
That's right guys.
You can carry that conviction inyour workplace because you've
been with him.
Yes, because you've been withhim.
(38:22):
Like it's not gonna happen.
If you haven't been with him,it's not gonna happen.
Cuz you listen to somebody onYouTube or sat under great
teaching on Sundays andWednesdays.
It's only gonna become life whenyou be with him.
Yeah.
You're saved by grace throughfaith.
When you get alone with him andyou release faith in his
presence, faith, all alone, youactually believe enough to be
(38:44):
alone and block out time to justbe with him.
Yeah.
That's where grace comes andmeets your faith.
And watch grace starts makingthat truth.
That thing you're seeking, gracestarts making it your reality.
And all of a sudden you come outof the room and you don't even
realize that you're different.
You're changed.
You start thinking differentprocessing, different,
(39:05):
responding, different.
And all of a sudden you realizebecause people say what happened
to you, man, you're have to man.
You this and you, you didn't tryit.
You just been with him and youdidn't bite your lip and try not
to get angry.
That means you're angry.
That means you have it downinside.
Anger management is not thekingdom.
(39:26):
Right?
Putting it off.
Yeah.
Is the kingdom?
Yes.
Anger management.
Hypocrisy.
It means I'm harboring it.
I'm just not expressing it.
I'm controlling it.
I have such discipline.
Oh, I feel this way about Jason,but I ain't gonna show it.
I'm gonna control it.
(39:48):
Cause I'm the master of my life.
I'm in control.
Look when the thing's not inhim, you don't want it in you.
Yeah.
It's not anger management.
That's right.
It's put it off.
Deal with your heart.
He said, if you got selfishseeking in you, self seeking in
you, don't boast lie against thetruth and appear to be something
(40:08):
you haven't become.
Deal with that.
Get along with God.
Surrender it.
Tell him you were never createdfor you.
I realize you never created mefor me.
I've prayed for me.
I've cried for me.
I've hurt for me.
And a lot of times haven't evenliked me.
God, I'm done with thisconfusing rat race.
(40:29):
I the best I understand.
And putting me off in yourpresence and asking you to help
me holy spirit, to learn what itmeans to deny myself, pick up my
cross and follow you.
But I honor you.
No one has loved me.
Like you love me.
No one has forgiven me and bendto me what you are to me.
And I want the beauty of what Isee in you to be the beauty of
(40:50):
what people see in me, transformmy life and make me one with you
in every way.
Not just spiritually andpositionally, but tangibly God,
I give myself to you.
You can pray that way whennobody's looking.
And that's what transforms yourlife wanting to be different
will never do it.
You'll just weigh what?
(41:10):
You're not doing that rightthere.
That right there, transformingit reveals your sincerity.
It marks your faith and itwelcomes holy spirit.
And then you are what you are bythe grace of God.
So the more you see yourselfchanging and the more people see
you changing, the more you cryand say, oh my goodness, you're
(41:31):
so good.
You are really doing this in me.
And then don't be afraid.
You'll get like me.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Don't let that deter you.
I'm just me.
You be the best you that's.
Right.
But what happens is you go, ohmy goodness.
Or you just go through thebiggest thing at work where you
know, you'd have been a basketcase and sudden you realize you
didn't even see it that way andit didn't even affect you.
And you're driving home and yourealize two months ago I had a
fell apart and I didn't eventhink about being shook and all
(42:02):
of a sudden you're in your carweeping.
Wouldn't it be great if you haveto pull over on the shoulder and
just weep cuz you know he'sworking in you effectively, cuz
you've been with him.
Cause you've been with
Speaker 6 (42:14):
Him.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Please.
Don't talk about him please.
Don't just listen to songs abouthim and fail to be with him.
Yes, please.
Don't just say what he says andnot be with
Speaker 6 (42:23):
Him.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Please.
Don't let, knowing about him.
Take the place of knowing him.
Cause this is eternal life.
This is eternal life that youmight know him.
So we're gonna enter in rightnow to just a little moment.
I'm gonna just probably justforget you're in the room for a
second and I want you to forgetI'm in the room and I want to
(42:48):
help springboard you.
If you've been struggling.
If you're struggling at home,just getting alone with him.
If you don't know what to say oryou just feel self-conscious get
the communion elements, justgrab the bread in the cup and go
in a bedroom and startremembering him.
Just go back to Sunday schooland children's church and the
things you've learned in yourlife, even in services and, and
just lift your eyes up to theceiling and keep him open maybe.
(43:10):
And just Jesus.
This represents you by let it bea springboard communication.
Let the communion elements bespringboard to stir your heart
and trigger your language.
The Lord taught me a long timeago.
He said people lack intimacywith me.
They don't get close to me.
Teach communion as a springboardto intimacy.
Speaker 6 (43:32):
Start
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Talking about his body.
You gave your life for me notcuz you were mad at me.
Not cuz you felt sorry for mecuz you loved me.
And you knew that what I wasliving.
I'm so much more in you.
Thank you for not giving up onme.
Thank you for not judging me.
Thank you for not coming mad.
Just a humble meek,
Speaker 6 (43:53):
Loving
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Savior general and kind but so powerful.
The lion and the land.
It's amazing.
Thanks for what you've done thebest.
I understand.
I yield my body to you and Igive myself to you and I ask you
to mold me and shape me intoeverything you desire.
Thank you for covenant.
Speaker 6 (44:13):
And you
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Take, you just activate your heart.
You take the cup and then youjust begin to talk to him and be
real.
Just like if we were driving inthe car and you're asking
questions, pastoral questions,ministry questions, just get
along with God.
Just be
Speaker 6 (44:26):
With him.
Speaker 2 (44:27):

Now.
I want you to activate faith.
And even if you just listen alittle as an example of what I'm
(44:49):
doing and you just startactivating your heart and
personalize it, it's a goodstep.
I saw to do this.
I felt like God wants tospringboard us into intimacy and
just have a little corporatetime together that inspires us
to go be alone with him, father.
I thank you that you love me.
I thank you that over years ofweakness and misunderstanding
and reactions to life, you neverchanged your mind about me.
