We started this company 138 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 5: and by January of twenty five, I had to depart 139 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 5: from the company, and I was very angry. 140 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: It was very hurtful. 141 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 5: The way we had to bore our separate rays was 142 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 5: really on my nerves. Anyway, in July, while I'm on 143 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: my sabbatical, my friend Chris Durso has to preach out 144 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 5: of church and he preaches this message called. 145 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: What Haven't written down Well? And let me give you 146 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: the chapter Joshua. 147 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 5: Chapter number nine is where Joshua goes into covenant with 148 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 5: the Gibbea Knights, but he does not consult the Lord. 149 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: Okay. So, while while. 150 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 5: I'm listening to this message that Chris is preaching, the 151 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 5: Holy Spirit says to me, you didn't consult me before. 152 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: You start at that company, and that's why it's failed. 153 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 5: You did not get a word from me, And I 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 5: was like, you know that ugly pride comes in is 155 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 5: utanously when the Lord corrects you. So not only am 156 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 5: I honestly as a son, I'm thankful for the Lord's 157 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 5: correction because he disciplines those that he loves. Secondly, though, 158 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 5: I was so embarrassed, like how did I miss you? 159 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: Like I try to be so careful, how did I 160 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: miss you? 161 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: And what he said was, you mistook your friend's provision. 162 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: Because my friend was a multi millionaire. 163 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 5: You mistook his provision as God's confirmation. And I grew 164 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 5: up in a Pentecostal church that says, where there is vision, 165 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 5: there is provision. And he said, you mistook his provision 166 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 5: as a word from God. 167 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: But ten, only a word from God is a word 168 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: from God. Provision is not a word from God. And 169 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,239 Speaker 1: so after. 170 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 5: I cried and repented and told my wife and told 171 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 5: my kids, and ultimately told our entire audience, which that's 172 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 5: how y'all found out, right. 173 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: And my staff and stuff. I didn't deal. 174 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 5: Obviously, I felt very hurt and disappointed that I missed 175 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 5: God like that. I didn't feel guilt or shame.
