Here, lebo, I feel the anointing. 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: I must stay right in this flow. You know there's 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: a flow in the Jordan river that was cut off 17 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: when God spoke. There's a flow right now of the 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. And I decree every doubt, every dysfunction, every 19 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: destructive tendency caused by sin that works in you against 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: the purpose of God that is greater, must be stopped 21 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: now in the name of Jesus. I declare it, I 22 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: believe it, I stand for it, because watch this in 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: the future when you're living in Canaan and you've wiped 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: out these these Hittites, Amorites, Parizites, Jebuzides, and so you lights. 25 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: I always like to put that in and see if 26 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 2: you're paying attention. In the future, he's framing you know 27 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: how powerful this is. He's framing their their current uncertainty. 28 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: How are we going to get through this? Jordan, you 29 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: just got through it. He's framing their current confusion. How 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: are we going to beat these giants? They're stronger on us. 31 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: All those questions are going through their mind, but he 32 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: gives them a different frame in the future. Now, I'm 33 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: thinking about when I get through this, which means I'm 34 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 2: gonna get through this. Now, I'm thinking about what God 35 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: has on the other side of this, not just how 36 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: much it hurts while I'm going through it. And we 37 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: can get too focused on the future, where we start 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: doing the opposite of what Jesus said in Matthew six, 39 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: where we're concerned about tomorrow, not knowing that our father 40 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: knows where to put the worm so that the bird 41 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: can find it as it flies with its instinct. God's 42 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: gonna guide us by his spirit to the provision that 43 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 2: we need for the season that we're in it. All 44 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: that is true, but Joshua knows what we're about to 45 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: fight is so big that we need a preview of 46 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 2: the future. So we said, go get a stone. That's 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: something that God just did. You need to get a 48 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: hold of something that God just did. Wow. God just 49 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: helped me sleep through the night. And I was in 50 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: so much pain. I didn't sleep the night before. God 51 00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: just did that. 52 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: You know. 53 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: God just gave me the eighty four dollars that I 54 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: needed for that bill. 55 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: God just did that. 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: God just gave me another sunrise. And when I saw it, 57 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: I was reminded that He's not gonna leave me in 58 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: this low place forever. God just did that. Say it 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: out loud. God just did that. God just did that. 60 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: God just did that. We just went through something that 61 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: was a mile wide, the Jordan River, and God stopped 62 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: it twenty miles away in a town called Adam. God 63 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: just did that. My God did that. My personal savior, 64 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: Jesus Christ just forgave me of that sin. He just 65 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: did that. It wasn't possible for me, but it's possible 66 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: for him. God just did that. And once you get 67 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: that in your spirit, begin to think about in the future, 68 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: watch this, here comes the question, because this is the 69 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: frame he's showing them. God just did that. That's a 70 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: present awareness. He's showing them that there's gonna be a 71 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: future that is a hope and an expectation. And he says, 72 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: in the future, when your children ask you, wait a minute, 73 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to have a question in my future that 74 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: is going to be asked by a generation that has 75 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: yet to ask the question. They don't know the answer yet. 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 2: I don't know the answer yet. But God has already 77 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: gone into your future. How am I gonna recover from this? 78 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: Who is going to love me? How is God going 79 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: to send it? When is God going to do it? 80 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: Don't know. But in the future, when your children ask you, 81 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: what do these stones mean? Tell them? Verse seven. Are 82 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: y'all following along in the scripture, because this would be 83 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: better if you follow along. I'm about to frame it 84 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: a different way. Tell them. Oh man, it was horrible. 85 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: We spent so many years in the wilderness, and the 86 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: water was at flood stage and the month of May 87 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: and we had to cross over, and we didn't know how. 88 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: We've never been this way before, and it was so 89 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: confusing and Oh man, it was so hard because we 90 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 2: knew we had to fight these big giants and we 91 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: were an anxiety attacks and panic attacks and we didn't 92 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: have any pills for it. We just had to get 93 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: through it. And then Joshua called us and we were 94 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: trying to get onto the next place because we've been 95 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: in the wilderness so long, and we got through the George. 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: But man, we made us go back and get these stones. 97 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: Those stones were heavy. Man. That's why I still got 98 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: this burse Sidis today. I don't know Brethsidis could be 99 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 2: in the shoulder, but nah, I don't say none of that. 100 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: That's why I want you to pull it up and 101 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: fact check me. When they ask the question questions that 102 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: direction in the future, that means you're headed somewhere. I 103 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 2: can't get that out of my heart. You're headed somewhere. 104 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: God is taking this thing somewhere, not where you expected it. 105 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: Never it's not how you expect it, not when you 106 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: expect it, but what he saw all along. When you're 107 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: in the middle of it, it is very difficult to 108 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: know what it means. I thought I knew why my 109 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: dad was lashing out of our family when he was 110 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: dying of als I didn't know that the doctor had 111 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: upped his prescriptions to the point where it was causing pair. 112 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: I thought it was wrong for him to talk to 113 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: me and my mom the way he did, and it was. 114 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: But now that I reframe it with the information that 115 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: I have, maybe I could have done something different. Maybe 116 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: maybe why is he acting like that? I wondered so 117 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: many times, why would he act like that? After all 118 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: I've done for him? But the question I never really asked, 119 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: or never knew to ask, was what's going on that 120 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: I don't know that's causing it that we can control 121 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 2: because he had a horrible disease and I couldn't control that. 122 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: But what can I do? How might he be right 123 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: even though what he's doing is wrong. I know that's 124 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: a tender topic for many of us, but when we're 125 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: in the middle of a relational conflict, when we're in 126 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: the middle of a crisis, and many of you are, 127 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: and look, man, I'm not trying to explain your experience. 128 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: Only God can do that by his spirit for you. 129 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 2: Paul says that the mind of God knows, the spirit 130 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: of God knows the mind of God, and God's spirit 131 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: is in you. And why has seen you know he 132 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: reserved neither's in her an hard man. Things God has 133 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: prepared for those who love him. We always stopped there. 134 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: Why I think his first Corinthians two nine. Forgive me 135 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: if I got it wrong. God has revealed him by 136 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: his spirit. For the spirit of a man knows the 137 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: thoughts of a man, and God knows his thoughts towards you, 138 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: even when you don't. God's thoughts towards you are holy, pure, loving, wise, kind. 139 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: His intentions are good. His purpose is always working. Now 140 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: when the Bible says that Joshua called them for a conversation, 141 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: and he didn't frame the situation with the fight that 142 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: they were about to face. He framed it with the 143 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: faithfulness of God and expectation for what God was going 144 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: to do in their future, and an appreciation of what 145 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: God just did. I think those are two great frames. 146 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: Frame your day, frame your season, frame your struggle. Even 147 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: with two things. Expectation God is going to do a 148 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: great work in my future. Appreciation God has been faithful 149 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: in my past. I love the hmn. Great is that faithfulness, 150 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: Oh God, my Father? There is no shadow of turning 151 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: with THEE Thou changes not that compassions They feel not 152 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: as though husband, though forever will be pardon for sin. 153 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: God did that, A peace that endure. God just did that. 154 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: You follow me. I know you're feeling this because I am. 155 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: I feel like it's for you. I don't feel like 156 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: God gave me this today just to record it for me. 157 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: I feel like God gave it to me for you, 158 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: for your situation, for your tears, for your trauma, that 159 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: the Lord still wants to help you frame this current 160 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: situation with appreciation for what he's doing, even as you 161 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: do with the frustration for what he won't do. Paul 162 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: had some of that too, didn't he. I asked the 163 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: Lord to remove this thorn, and he wouldn't, but he 164 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: gave me his grace. That's all right. Frustration and grace 165 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: can coincide. Just don't frustrate the grace of God by 166 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: refusing to receive his love, his peace, pardon for sin, 167 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: a peace that endure your own, dear presence, to cheer 168 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 2: into God's strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. 169 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: That's what God wants to give you. That's your frame, 170 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: bright hope, bright hope for all of your tomorrows. So 171 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: get those stones, put them up on your shoulder. You're 172 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: strong enough. You're stronger than you think you are. You 173 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 2: keep framing the way that you see yourself by the 174 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: things that you say about yourself. I'm weak, I'm inexperienced. 175 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 2: Jeremiah tried to do this. I am only a youth. 176 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 2: Moses tried to do it. I am not eloquent. Gideon 177 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: tried to do it. I am the least in my tribe. 178 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 2: In the Luis sundtple Go, I say, you, mighty warrior, 179 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: what does God see within you that he wants to 180 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: reframe by his spirit through faith in the future. When 181 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 2: your children ask you what do these stones mean? Tell 182 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off 183 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: before the ark of the Covenant of the Lord. That 184 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: arc represents God's presence. That arc represents God's presence present, 185 00:10:51,840 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 2: the present moment, the middle of it. The miracle that 186 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,359 Speaker 2: God is going to do in your future is contingent 187 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: upon your recognition of His presence here and now. God 188 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: knows what you're in the middle of. God knows what's 189 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: ahead of you, and he knows what's behind you. But 190 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: Joshua gives us a lesson, and he frames the conversation 191 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: not by the fight that's ahead of them, but by 192 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: the future that God has prepared for them. Yeah, you're 193 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: going to have to fight for it. Yeah, you're going 194 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: to have to get help for it. This isn't the 195 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: whole story. It wasn't just that easy. But we are 196 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: going to choose to focus on the faithfulness of God. 197 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: That's why you've got to get a notebook or you 198 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: can write down your gratitudes. Sometimes the little ones take 199 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: a stone out of the middle of each day and go, 200 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: God helped me today. I remember when Abby smiled at me, 201 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: the things she said, Thank you God, Oh that was 202 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: so nice. Hollymade me that sandwich on that low carb bread, 203 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: Thank you Lord with bacon, but the bread was low carb. 204 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: Ah. 205 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: God, it was such a blessing to get to watch 206 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: Graham Russell. It was such a blessing to get to 207 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: be with my son today. And sometimes it's not as 208 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: easy because we're also processing pain. But even as you're 209 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: processing pain, you can frame your life with faith.
