WEBVTT - The Secret To Framing Your Situation (The Basin)

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin. This

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just for

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you to break it down a little more, to take

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:12.639
<v Speaker 1>it a little deeper.

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I hope you enjoy this overflow message.

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Let me know.

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. Don't you let the enemy tell you any different.

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>You have a future. God knows the plans he has

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>for you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>There's laughter in your future. There's connection in your future.

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 2>There's friendship in your future. There's joy in your future.

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 2>There's growth in your future. There's creativity in your future.

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>There's fruit in your future. Say that out loud, there's

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 2>fruit in my future. Here, lebo, I feel the anointing.

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I must stay right in this flow. You know there's

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>a flow in the Jordan river that was cut off

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 2>when God spoke. There's a flow right now of the

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Holy Spirit. And I decree every doubt, every dysfunction, every

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>destructive tendency caused by sin that works in you against

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>the purpose of God that is greater, must be stopped

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 2>now in the name of Jesus. I declare it, I

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>believe it, I stand for it, because watch this in

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the future when you're living in Canaan and you've wiped

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>out these these Hittites, Amorites, Parizites, Jebuzides, and so you lights.

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I always like to put that in and see if

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you're paying attention. In the future, he's framing you know

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>how powerful this is. He's framing their their current uncertainty.

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>How are we going to get through this? Jordan, you

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>just got through it. He's framing their current confusion. How

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>are we going to beat these giants? They're stronger on us.

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>All those questions are going through their mind, but he

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 2>gives them a different frame in the future. Now, I'm

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking about when I get through this, which means I'm

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 2>gonna get through this. Now, I'm thinking about what God

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 2>has on the other side of this, not just how

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>much it hurts while I'm going through it. And we

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>can get too focused on the future, where we start

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 2>doing the opposite of what Jesus said in Matthew six,

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 2>where we're concerned about tomorrow, not knowing that our father

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>knows where to put the worm so that the bird

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 2>can find it as it flies with its instinct. God's

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna guide us by his spirit to the provision that

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.399
<v Speaker 2>we need for the season that we're in it. All

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 2>that is true, but Joshua knows what we're about to

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>fight is so big that we need a preview of

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.239
<v Speaker 2>the future. So we said, go get a stone. That's

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 2>something that God just did. You need to get a

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>hold of something that God just did. Wow. God just

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>helped me sleep through the night. And I was in

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>so much pain. I didn't sleep the night before. God

0:02:58.960 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 2>just did that.

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 2>God just gave me the eighty four dollars that I

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>needed for that bill.

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>God just did that.

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 2>God just gave me another sunrise. And when I saw it,

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I was reminded that He's not gonna leave me in

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>this low place forever. God just did that. Say it

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 2>out loud. God just did that. God just did that.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>God just did that. We just went through something that

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>was a mile wide, the Jordan River, and God stopped

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 2>it twenty miles away in a town called Adam. God

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>just did that. My God did that. My personal savior,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Jesus Christ just forgave me of that sin. He just

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>did that. It wasn't possible for me, but it's possible

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>for him. God just did that. And once you get

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>that in your spirit, begin to think about in the future,

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>watch this, here comes the question, because this is the

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>frame he's showing them. God just did that. That's a

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>present awareness. He's showing them that there's gonna be a

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>future that is a hope and an expectation. And he says,

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>in the future, when your children ask you, wait a minute,

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to have a question in my future that

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>is going to be asked by a generation that has

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>yet to ask the question. They don't know the answer yet.

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the answer yet. But God has already

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 2>gone into your future. How am I gonna recover from this?

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Who is going to love me? How is God going

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 2>to send it? When is God going to do it?

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't know. But in the future, when your children ask you,

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>what do these stones mean? Tell them? Verse seven. Are

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 2>y'all following along in the scripture, because this would be

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>better if you follow along. I'm about to frame it

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 2>a different way. Tell them. Oh man, it was horrible.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>We spent so many years in the wilderness, and the

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>water was at flood stage and the month of May

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>and we had to cross over, and we didn't know how.

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>We've never been this way before, and it was so

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 2>confusing and Oh man, it was so hard because we

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>knew we had to fight these big giants and we

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 2>were an anxiety attacks and panic attacks and we didn't

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>have any pills for it. We just had to get

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>through it. And then Joshua called us and we were

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>trying to get onto the next place because we've been

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>in the wilderness so long, and we got through the George.

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 2>But man, we made us go back and get these stones.

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Those stones were heavy. Man. That's why I still got

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 2>this burse Sidis today. I don't know Brethsidis could be

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 2>in the shoulder, but nah, I don't say none of that.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>That's why I want you to pull it up and

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>fact check me. When they ask the question questions that

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 2>direction in the future, that means you're headed somewhere. I

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.239
<v Speaker 2>can't get that out of my heart. You're headed somewhere.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>God is taking this thing somewhere, not where you expected it.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Never it's not how you expect it, not when you

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>expect it, but what he saw all along. When you're

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of it, it is very difficult to

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>know what it means. I thought I knew why my

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 2>dad was lashing out of our family when he was

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>dying of als I didn't know that the doctor had

0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>upped his prescriptions to the point where it was causing pair.

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was wrong for him to talk to

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 2>me and my mom the way he did, and it was.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>But now that I reframe it with the information that

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>I have, maybe I could have done something different. Maybe

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe why is he acting like that? I wondered so

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 2>many times, why would he act like that? After all

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 2>I've done for him? But the question I never really asked,

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>or never knew to ask, was what's going on that

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that's causing it that we can control

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 2>because he had a horrible disease and I couldn't control that.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>But what can I do? How might he be right

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 2>even though what he's doing is wrong. I know that's

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>a tender topic for many of us, but when we're

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of a relational conflict, when we're in

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>the middle of a crisis, and many of you are,

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and look, man, I'm not trying to explain your experience.

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Only God can do that by his spirit for you.

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 2>Paul says that the mind of God knows, the spirit

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 2>of God knows the mind of God, and God's spirit

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>is in you. And why has seen you know he

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>reserved neither's in her an hard man. Things God has

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>prepared for those who love him. We always stopped there.

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Why I think his first Corinthians two nine. Forgive me

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 2>if I got it wrong. God has revealed him by

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>his spirit. For the spirit of a man knows the

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 2>thoughts of a man, and God knows his thoughts towards you,

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>even when you don't. God's thoughts towards you are holy, pure, loving, wise, kind.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>His intentions are good. His purpose is always working. Now

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>when the Bible says that Joshua called them for a conversation,

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't frame the situation with the fight that

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 2>they were about to face. He framed it with the

0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>faithfulness of God and expectation for what God was going

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to do in their future, and an appreciation of what

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>God just did. I think those are two great frames.

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Frame your day, frame your season, frame your struggle. Even

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>with two things. Expectation God is going to do a

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 2>great work in my future. Appreciation God has been faithful

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 2>in my past. I love the hmn. Great is that faithfulness,

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, my Father? There is no shadow of turning

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 2>with THEE Thou changes not that compassions They feel not

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>as though husband, though forever will be pardon for sin.

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 2>God did that, A peace that endure. God just did that.

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>You follow me. I know you're feeling this because I am.

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's for you. I don't feel like

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 2>God gave me this today just to record it for me.

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like God gave it to me for you,

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 2>for your situation, for your tears, for your trauma, that

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the Lord still wants to help you frame this current

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 2>situation with appreciation for what he's doing, even as you

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 2>do with the frustration for what he won't do. Paul

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 2>had some of that too, didn't he. I asked the

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Lord to remove this thorn, and he wouldn't, but he

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>gave me his grace. That's all right. Frustration and grace

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>can coincide. Just don't frustrate the grace of God by

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 2>refusing to receive his love, his peace, pardon for sin,

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a peace that endure your own, dear presence, to cheer

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.679
<v Speaker 2>into God's strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what God wants to give you. That's your frame,

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 2>bright hope, bright hope for all of your tomorrows. So

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>get those stones, put them up on your shoulder. You're

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>strong enough. You're stronger than you think you are. You

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>keep framing the way that you see yourself by the

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>things that you say about yourself. I'm weak, I'm inexperienced.

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Jeremiah tried to do this. I am only a youth.

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Moses tried to do it. I am not eloquent. Gideon

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.679
<v Speaker 2>tried to do it. I am the least in my tribe.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>In the Luis sundtple Go, I say, you, mighty warrior,

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 2>what does God see within you that he wants to

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>reframe by his spirit through faith in the future. When

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 2>your children ask you what do these stones mean? Tell

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 2>them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>before the ark of the Covenant of the Lord. That

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 2>arc represents God's presence. That arc represents God's presence present,

0:10:51.840 --> 0:11:00.719
<v Speaker 2>the present moment, the middle of it. The miracle that

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:06.359
<v Speaker 2>God is going to do in your future is contingent

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 2>upon your recognition of His presence here and now. God

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 2>knows what you're in the middle of. God knows what's

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>ahead of you, and he knows what's behind you. But

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Joshua gives us a lesson, and he frames the conversation

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>not by the fight that's ahead of them, but by

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the future that God has prepared for them. Yeah, you're

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 2>going to have to fight for it. Yeah, you're going

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to have to get help for it. This isn't the

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 2>whole story. It wasn't just that easy. But we are

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 2>going to choose to focus on the faithfulness of God.

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 2>That's why you've got to get a notebook or you

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>can write down your gratitudes. Sometimes the little ones take

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 2>a stone out of the middle of each day and go,

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 2>God helped me today. I remember when Abby smiled at me,

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the things she said, Thank you God, Oh that was

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 2>so nice. Hollymade me that sandwich on that low carb bread,

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Lord with bacon, but the bread was low carb.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Ah.

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>God, it was such a blessing to get to watch

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Graham Russell. It was such a blessing to get to

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>be with my son today. And sometimes it's not as

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>easy because we're also processing pain. But even as you're

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 2>processing pain, you can frame your life with faith. Hey,
