Speaker 1 (00:00):
The nests determines what you mean when you say I
love you versus what I mean when I say I
love you. The nest determines the value you place on work,
(00:21):
on integrity, on keeping your word. All of it is
shaped by the nest you came from. You can take
somebody out of the hood, but the question remains, can
you take the hood out of somebody deceased? Pants God
(00:52):
bless you, my friends. I am so excited. This is
the message everybody's been talking about. I'm glad to be
able to share it with you our church with meth
Horized by it. I used to teaching tool to create
a metaphor of what is going on in a lot
of our lives. I want you to understand. The message
is called don't die in your nest, and I want
you to understand quite clearly, it is not death that
(01:12):
I am afraid of, for Jesus has taken the sting
out of death and the victory out of the grave.
It is not death that intimidates me. What scares me
to death is that I would die without living purse.
The message is don't die in your nest. Don't die
where you got started. Take a look at this. This
will help you. The eagle is a mighty bird. From
(01:35):
tip to tip, its wings spread out span over nine
feet in each direction. It is unlike any other bird
in its ability to see. Its vision is so keen
that it can see even in the dark for miles.
It is a strong bird, uniquely set us out from
(01:57):
other birds. The eagle makes love in the air, but
you better stay on the ground. The male eagle and
(02:19):
the female eagle make love in the air. They wrap
up in each other's wings, and they spiraled downward thousands
of feet in the air. And as they spiral downward,
they make love in the middle of the air. I
think that God had them to do that so that
the eagle would not cohabitate with chickens. Yes, you'll get
(02:51):
it when you get home. There's a certain height that
you have to be in order to interact with the eagle.
The eagle does not cross breed with just anything that's
got wings. You have to have a certain mindset, a
certain mentality. You have to be framed in a certain
(03:14):
way and have a certain vision, a certain keenness and precision.
To earn the right to make love with an eagle,
you have to be an have to be, for the
eagle goes where lesser birds cannot fly, so it can
(03:35):
do what lesser birds cannot do. Part of its uniqueness
is not just in its physiology, but its uniqueness is
entrapped in the way that it trains it's young. Unlike
other birds who make nests, some on the ground and
(03:56):
some birds make nests in trees, species of the eglet
of the of the eagle make their nest in high places,
in mountain peaks on cliffs, so that the eagle is
born up high to keep to keep the eglet from
(04:24):
having a low mentality. When it first opens its eyes,
it's already in a high place. It's it's it's its mother,
if you will, has been collecting sticks and branches and
(04:48):
flying high into the mountain peaks and finding a cliff.
It begins to gather the sticks and build a nest
anticipate hating the birth of its jung. This process can
take a long period of time to get the nest ready,
(05:08):
so that when the eagle gives birth, the nest is
already built. I got on the phone and I told him,
I said, I want a nest. They say, excuse me,
I said, I want a nest. They said, we got
a bad connection. I said, I want you to build
me a nest by Sunday because I got a message
(05:31):
I want to preach. So they have been working all
week to build this nest. The nest is built before
(05:55):
the eggs are hatched. If you're waiting for me to preach,
I'm already preaching. The nest is a collection of branches
from where the mother has been. It is the historical
(06:26):
reference to every place the mother has been. She brings
something to the nest before the eggs are ever laid.
The mother's story is in the sticks the eagles eggs.
(06:55):
Don't get to pick its nest. You pick your friends,
but you don't pick your family. You just come here
with whatever you come here with. You don't get to
(07:16):
pick the personality of the family, whether they are soft
spoken or brawlers. When my wife and I first dated,
my wife's family is real quiet and calm and laid back,
and not mine. Our family's the kind of family that
(07:37):
we talk with our hands. We yell and scream and
laugh and hit each other. When you make a good point,
we make faces and yell and noises. And when her
family came to our family, dinner. They were like they
thought it was going to be a fistfight right in
(07:58):
the middle of dinner. Because because our family is expressive
like that, now I thought her family was sleep. I
started depending on to see if they was alive. We
don't get to pick that. We are born into it.
We step into it. And everything we learn from our neighbors,
(08:24):
from our friends, from our associations, from our generation, from
our political perspectives all helped to shape up who we are.
And all of these experiences help build the nests. It
(08:45):
makes us become who we are and think the way
we think, and it frames our perspectives and opinions and
how we react when we are anger, grief, or fred
or worried. It's all in the nest. Never marry anybody
(09:16):
without checking out the nest the nest. The nest determines
what you mean when you say I love you versus
what I mean when I say I love you. The
(09:41):
nest determines the value you place on work, on integrity,
on keeping your word. All of it is shaped by
the nest you came from. You can take somebody out
of the hood, but the question remains, can you take
(10:11):
the hood out of somebody. Even education doesn't totally fix it,
because they can be educated and well dressed and even
be well spoken, but if you make them angry, they
will flip out and reacts. Out of the nests that
(10:40):
built still to come on the potterstone, the eagle has stirred.
The Lord started speaking to me about your culture, your perspective,
what fared you, what nurished you at one stage in
your life, is too small for what he wants to
do in your life. And oh God, there there comes
(11:05):
a time in your life that the same God that
built the ness that hacks to stirs the ness. I
(12:24):
wanted to illustrate that what starts out as a blessing
can end up becoming a burden. That you know, people
think in such storylines and they think something is good
or bad, right or wrong. But some things that God
uses in one stage of life to nurture you, he
will take it at another stage and use it to
motivate you and make it uncomfortable for you. It doesn't
(12:47):
mean that the nest was bad. It was great. But
now it's a transition period and people have to understand
that so they don't use the circumstance as an opportunity
to become bitter, but rather to become better. The eagle,
when she makes the nest, takes all of the sticks
and lays them in such a way, almost scientifically. It's
(13:11):
brilliant to lay the nest in such a way that
when she gets ready to hatch, none of the sticks
are protruding in the nest. The protrusions are outside, no
protrusions on the inside, so that the eggs can be
(13:34):
hatched in a comfortable place. And when the time is
right and all the branches are in place, then the
eagle comes and she lays her eggs in the nest.
(13:57):
Nice cusseh she comfortable nest after it laid the eggs
and hatched the eggs. The eagles eaglets are born in
a high place, in a comfortable place, in a protected place,
(14:23):
and its whole world is its nest. This is the world,
the combination of the stuff my parents, my friends, and
my community, my associations brought into it and everything else.
(14:46):
I see it my vision of the world outside. I
see it through the lens of the nest. I came
from my perceptions of right and wrong, and good and
evil and up and down and all of it is
(15:09):
affected because I see it all through the nest I
was hatched in. We can see the same world, but
have a different view because we came from a different nest.
(15:33):
Are you hearing what I'm saying? The eaglet hatches its
eggs in the nest, and then the motherflies and she
goes and she brings food into the nest. So we
(15:59):
eat in the nest, We sleep in the nest, We
feed in the nest. We manifest all of our early
development in the nest. And the nest that initially is
(16:20):
a blessing becomes a curse if you stay in it
too long. I see people who venture out from the nest,
(16:41):
maybe from nine to five, but then they go back
to the nest. The reason we have difficulty reducing the
rate of recidivism in the country is when the inmate
allows the prison to become the nest. Then freedom doesn't
feel free anymore, and they will purposefully get in trouble
(17:06):
so that they can go back to the nest because
the nest is familiar. People can have a good marriage,
but if they're not used to a good marriage, they
will sabotage it and start a fight because a fight
is familiar. Because they will spond in a nest where
(17:28):
people fight and peace is boring. God said, I will
lead you as the eagle stirs her nest. The stirring
(17:49):
of the nest is different from the building of the nest.
The building of the nest is a protection to the eggs.
But when the eagle stirs her nest, it only happens
(18:12):
when the eaglids have grown too big to live in
something so small? Are you too big to live in
(18:42):
something so small? Is it tide in here? It's uncomfortable
in here, But I stay in here because it's familiar,
(19:04):
so comfortable. I don't have to try to be better.
I don't have to evolve. They bring the food to me.
I'm okay, I'm okay. I got it. I got a
system that fits the environment I'm in. Even if the
(19:31):
environment I'm in is too small for who I am.
I'm comfortable here, and the same mother who made it
cushy and comfortable and nice and relaxing comes along with
(19:55):
the same beak and start stirring up the nests so
that the protrusions that were on the outside now start
pointing on the inside to make it uncomfortable for back
to make it uncomfortable both for me to stay in
(20:18):
my nest. I want to talk to somebody this morning
about when the eagle stirs the nest. Have you ever
gone to a stirring in your life? Until until? What
used to be nice and cushy and normal, and it
(20:39):
was okay and it didn't bother you. But now the
eagle has stirred the nest. And when the eagle stirs
the nest, all of a sudden, the protrusions that kept
away the wolf are now pushing the eaglets, so that
(20:59):
the eglant, when it tries to sit where it used
to sit, it can't sit there anymore because the eagle
has stirred. The Lord started speaking to me about your culture,
your perspective, what fared you, what nourished you at one
(21:20):
stage in your life, is too small for what he
wants to do in your life. And oh God, there
there comes a time in your life that the same
God that built the nest, that hacks you, stirs the nests.
(21:45):
Now the eglot is facing eviction. When the eagle stirs
her nests, the eglid's face eviction from the comfortable excuses
(22:12):
you used to make for not going anymore, or being anymore,
or growing anymore, or becoming anymore. The eagle now has
stirred the nest, and the eaglet has to move. God
says that if we would judge ourselves, we would have
(22:36):
no need to be judged. If the eaglet on its
own would fly out of the nest, then the eagle
would not have to stir the nest. But there are
some eglis who are stubborn, and they won't change, and
(22:57):
they won't grow, and they won't explore, they won't think,
and they won't become because they have developed a system
of survival that is built around the nest. And for
those eglids I come to preach this morning. The eglids
(23:20):
who handle money the way Mama handled money, The eglids
who are angry with women because Daddy was angry with women.
The eglids who respond to conflict the way Mama did,
(23:41):
have developed a system of survival that says, I don't
have to do anything more than what I'm doing because
I'm being fed in my nest. Job said, I thought
I would die in my nest. He said it was
so cushy and comfortable. I had my wife, I had
(24:01):
my kids. I had my property, I had my job,
I had a good name, I had it going on.
I thought I would die in my nests. Have you
ever been in a situation that you thought wouldn't change,
and then all of a sudden God comes along and stirs,
(24:26):
Oh my God, somebody already understands what I'm talking about,
touching Egborn telling I'm all stirred up. Everything that used
to be okay hitting okay anymore. My perceptions are not
the same anymore. My ideas are not the same anymore.
I was satisfied just to do what I do and
(24:48):
act like the world I came from. But now all
of a sudden, everything is gotten stirred up. I don't
know who to trust. I don't know who to talk to.
I don't know where to go. I'm not satisfied to
live like Mama and them live. I want something else.
I want to do something. I want to be something.
I want to become something. I want to reach something.
(25:11):
I don't know what it is. I don't know what's
happening in my life. Somebody been praying, God, what is
going on in my life? And the Lord told me
to tell you, I'm stirring up beyond us. There is
(25:32):
no comfortable place, no comfortable place. Listen, let's take a
little time out of the cause and we'll be back
to more in just a moment. Partners, don't miss come
(26:48):
home for Christmas, our special holiday weekend at the beautiful
Kay Lord, Texan Resort. We can't do any of the
things we do without your support and prayer, and I
don't want you to step into another year without us
being able to pray over the mandates that the Holy
Spirit has put on your life as well. Registration is
absolutely free, but we do need you to register. Space
(27:08):
is limited, so reach out to us today and I'm
looking forward to seeing you on December seventh through the
ninth as we come home for Christmas celebrate the election.
