17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: for what you brought them out of. Thank you for

18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: what you're leading them into. I ask for the person

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: that's on my right and on my left today that

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: you would give them the kind of confidence that comes

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: from knowing that they will never take a step that

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: you haven't already gone before them. I thank you that

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: you are the God who goes before us when we

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: feel like falling. I thank you that you are the

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: God who catches us a firm foundation beneath our feet.

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: And when we sometimes forget how big you are, I

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: want to thank you that you are the God who

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: is above us, and your ways are higher than our ways.

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts. As the rain

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: falls from the heaven and waters the earth and doesn't

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: return to it without accomplishing that which it was sent

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: to do, so shall your word be that comes forth

33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: from your mouth today. It will not return unto your void.

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: It never does, it can't. It must accomplish what you

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: sent it to do. I thank you for the worship

36
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: that your people have given you today. You're worthy of it.

37
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: We clap our hands right now because you're worthy of it.

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Your worship you because you're worthy. Now repeat after me, say,

39
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: and God, I thank you for this word that you

40
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:36,480

46
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: I said that. Sorry about that. Just all kinds of

47
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: exercise you're getting today, jumping and sitting and standing. Tell

48
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: your neighbor discount says your workout. Got to the point

49
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: in my life where I don't like to skip physical workouts,

50
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: but I really if I had to skip either a

51
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: physical workout or if I had to skip the Word

52
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: of God, I would skip the physical one. Because the

53
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: things that I'm battling in my life right now are

54
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: not flesh and blood. There are some of us in

55
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: the room who are wrestling against principalities and spirits of discouragement,

56
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: spirits of despair. And you never know what news you're

57
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: gonna get when you leave this place. But I promise

58
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: you God's got good news for you today. That's what

59
00:03:52,960 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: gospel means. It means good news that we were dead

60
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: and alive in Christ, that Jesus Christ is King of

61
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: kings and Lord of lords, and he has come to

62
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: bind up the broken hearted, to set the captive free,

63
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Somebody shout,

64
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: this is my year. I don't know what the first

00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: today and you're thinking about becoming a follower Of christ

145
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: and you think you need to clean up your life

146
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: to come to, him much like these people In galatia

147
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: might have thought they needed to be circumcised externally in

148
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: order to come To. Christ if you think you need

149
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: to make an outward behavior modification before you can have

150
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: an inward renewal or. Change, no you. Don't in, fact

151

152
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: sometimes what wears us out and exhausts us is. Expectations

156
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: in my ministry WHERE i felt very close to What

157
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: i've heard called. Burnout and it's been several years, ago

158
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: but it was intense enough THAT i was telling The

159
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: lord things LIKE i can't do, THIS i can't go,

160
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: on AND i don't have what it. Takes and in

161
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: the process of that being, cyclical not just once on

162
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: A wednesday for a hard, meeting but week after week

163
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: after week after. Week the chronic urge to quit is

164
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: a signal that something needs to. Shift the chronic urge

165
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: to quit not the, passing fleeting urge to, quit but

166
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: the chronic urge to quit is a signal that something

167
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: needs to. Shift and in my particular, CASE i felt

168
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: like all of the work that was on, me combined

169
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: with the work of raising family and you're, like, no

170
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: raising a family isn't. Work raising a family is a.

171
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: Reward children are a blessing from The, lord and they.

172
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: Are but have you ever had your quiver full quiver

173
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: full with sharp objects called. ARROWS a full quiver hurts

174
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: sometimes you want to quit fill in that quiver. Sometimes

175
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: but AS i was processing all of that in my

176
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: heart and in my, prayers The lord showed me something very,

177
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: powerful AND i think that it will help you. Today he,

178
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: said you keep thinking that the problem is that the

179
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: work is too great for, you and you assume that

180
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: you are weary because of the work THAT i gave,

181
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: you the work of being a, dad the work of

182
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: being a, husband the work of being a, pastor the

183
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: work of leading a, church and all of the. Work

184
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: the travel was intense at that point in, Time the

185
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: organizational life cycle was at a very immature stage of,

186
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: development and it was moving through some. Transitions And he's,

187
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: said you think that the reason you're, Weary paul, said

188
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: let us not grow weary of doing. Good you think

189
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: that the reason you're weary is because of the. Work

190
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: but the reason you're weary is not because of the.

191
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: Work it's because of your worry about the. Work AND

192
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: i started to see that it was not WHAT i

193
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: was doing For god that was wearing me. Out it

194
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: was WHAT i was doing For god That god never

195
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: asked me to do to begin, with that was wearing me.

196
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Out does this sermon feel like a lifeline to anybody

197
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: in the room? Today so when he, says let us

198
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: not grow weary of doing, good for in due season

199
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: we will reap if we do not give, up we

200
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: have to start by asking the, question why AM i?

201
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: Weary and this is not intended for those of you

202
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: who are visiting a relative at the nursing home every

203
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: day right, now or you are in a custody battle

204
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: that is sucking all of your. Resources although there is

205
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: a word for you, TODAY i am not telling you

206
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: that if you would simply turn it, over it would

207
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: no longer be. HARD i am saying that you would

208
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: be able to handle much more weight if you would

209
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: change the way you do the. Work for The bible

210
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: says let us not grow weary in doing good and

211
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: don't grow weary is kind of one of those things

212
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: that people say that sounds good until you really think about.

213
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: It how AM i supposed to don't grow weary with

214
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: this schedule THAT i. Have how AM i supposed to

215
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: not grow weary when it's twenty four to? Seven how

216
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: AM i supposed to not grow weary when everybody is

217
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: wearing me? Out it's kind of like people telling you

218
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: get well soon when you're. Sick oh, gee, Thanks i'll

219
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: get right on. That that sounds like a, plan and

220
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: don't grow weary can kind of sound like get well

221
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: soon unless you stop and realize that beneath the, injunction

222
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: don't grow weary is an invitation to understand why you're.

223
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Weary and in my, case AS i begin to break

224
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: down all of the, EXPECTATIONS i realized that it was

225
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: expectations that were exhausting. Me expectations can be. Exhausting expectations

226
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: can be, Exhausting AM i right about? It the expectations

227
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: that others have of you can be. Exhausting the expectations

228
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: of what it means to be a mom in this

229
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: day and age can be exhausting of. You the expectation

230
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: WHEN i was growing up to have your kid in

231
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: sports was just to get them to the field On

232
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: tuesday And thursday for their baseball. Game but now if

233
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: your kid is going to be a real baseball. Player

234
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: you've got to sign them up for A TRIPLE a

235
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: team when they're seven years. Old oh, no you will

236
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: no longer have time for church On. Sunday you are

237
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: going to be in travel, ball because if your kid

238
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: misses one season of travel, ball they will be traumatized

239
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: by the fact that they didn't play travel. Ball and

240
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: it feels like to me there is greater and greater

241
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: expectation not only for, parents but there is greater expectation

242
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: on our kids than ever before, too not just because

243
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: they have to be on this team or that, team

244
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: but because they are spending so much time on everybody else's.

245
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Timeline and now our kids no longer have fomo fear

246
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: of missing. Out they have pomo proof of missing, out

247
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: because not only DO i have to think about the

248
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: fact that they might be doing something without, ME i

249
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: actually see the proof that they're doing something without. Me

250
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: so Now i've got anxiety coupled with depression and isolation

251
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: at the most vulnerable time in my, life And i'm

252
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: only fourteen years, old AND i don't know how to handle.

253
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: It why AM i? Tired why are kids going so

254
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: crazy these? Days why does there seem to be such

255
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: a surge in mental health epidemics that we keep reading

256
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: about statistically that can only be fixed, spiritually because The bible,

257
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: says let us not grow weary in doing. Good and

258
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: what The lord gave me during that season of burnout

259
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: that was very helpful to, me AND i share it

260
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: with you in the offer that it can be of

261
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: use IS i will give you the strength you need

262
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: to do your, job BUT i will not give you

263
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: the strength to do. Mine god, SAID i will give

264
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: you all the strength you need to do your, job

265
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: BUT i will not give you the strength to do.

266
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: Mine and so this phrase comes up in the. Text it,

267
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: says let us not grow weary of doing. Good doing

268
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: good is an interesting phrase, too by the, way because

269
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: it's never been harder to feel like you're doing good

270
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: than it is right. NOW i THOUGHT i was good

271
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: at playing guitar growing up because none of my other

272
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: friends played, guitar so compared to, THEM i was doing.

273
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: GOOD i didn't have proof in my pocket that there

274
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: are nine year olds who can play guitar better than.

275
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: Me at age forty, Five it's never been harder to do.

276
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: Good you used to have to go to the lake

277
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: to see your friend had a better boat than. You,

278
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: now all you have to do is pick up your

279
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: same device that has Your bible lap on, it and

280
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: you have to see their boat on the same device

281
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: that you picked up to see Your bible when you

282
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: scroll Their instagram. Account and what you don't know is

283
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: that they went broke to buy the, boat and you

284
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: are blind to their. Brokeness so you are discouraged by their. Boat, yeah,

285
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: no wonder you're. Tired no wonder you're. Tired you thought

Speaker 1: sleep and you might not. Be but why? Not and

288
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: The lord showed, ME i will give you the hours

Speaker 1: i thought it was, the work but it was. The

464
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: worry galatian sixty nine says due Time is, god's Job

Speaker 1: and god will give you the strength to do, your

466
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: job but Not his god to give you the strength to.

467
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: Do good, he said don't grow weary of. Doing good

468
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: god will give you the strength to, do Good but

469
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: he will not give you the strength To. Do, god

470
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,680

00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: is comparison to somebody, else's chiros another enemy of that.

473
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: Is control and if the metaphor of this is sowing,

474
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: a seed if, he says let us not grow weary

475
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: in doing good for. Induce season that seed will become

476
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: a harvest and you will reap if you don't. Give

477
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: up if that is, the metaphor then the seed is

478
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 1: not effective. Without release and so there is an element

479
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: of control of timing that we all want To put

480
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: god on. Our chronos We want god to do his

481
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:06,800

483
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: our deadlines kill. Our chiros and that's why, he said

484
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: you you got to understand. Do season god. Does stuff

485
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: how many agree? WITH that i should make a point

488
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: so it's. Due season don't hold, too tight don't strangle,

489
00:33:49,640 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: a seed don't hold. Too TIGHT when i first started

490
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: lifting real, heavy weights AND y'all i can lift pretty,

491
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: HEAVY weights i got an injury in my ELBOWS and

492
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: i Came, to chunks who was our executive pastor of,

493
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: the church and he used to be a. Physical THERAPIST and,

494
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: I said I guess i'm going to have to stop lifting.

495
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: So heavy i'm lifting so heavy my elbows. Are hurting

496
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: and he looked at me like he had seen this a.

497
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: Thousand times, he goes you're not lifting. Too heavy you're

498
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: not lifting. Too heavy you're gripping. Too tight, he said

499
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: you're holding. Those dumbells at, THE time i was bench

500
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: pressing ninety five pound dumbbells on an. Incline, bench yeah some.

501
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: Heavy weight he hadn't been excited. All day i've been

502
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: talking About the lord and that's the FIRST clap i

503
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: got out. Of him. Right there i'll, take, it brother,

504
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,560

506
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: he said you can lift more if you would fix.

507
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: Your grip you can lift that weight if you would

508
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: change the way you. Lift it and so one of

509
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,719

Speaker 1: and they were, so confused how is the? Sun up

535
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: they were. Very young, you understand they're much more. Sophisticated

536
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: now they understand the solar system in all of its complexities.

537
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: And sophistication but how is the sun up over there

538
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,560

540
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: cool and just before we hung up, the CALL because

541
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: i had to go preach and they had to go,

542
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: to sleep one of them looked at me, and, Said,

543
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: hey daddy before, you go can you tell us what?

544
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: Happens tomorrow in that a powerful thing to have a

545
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: father who's already in, your future, come on and not

546
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: a powerful Thing that jesus Said the pagans run after

547
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: all these things, to wear what, to drink what, to

548
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: eat all the things that we put on our to.

549
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: Do List but jesus summarizes all of those, worries down

550
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: all of those worries that have you so weary and

551
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: running around and now can't sleep even when you have time,

552
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: to sleep because when you should, be sleeping, you're scrolling

553
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: and you're scrolling when you should be sleeping because you're

554
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: trying to see something that will suit something from trying

555
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: to control something that is outside of. Your control and

556
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: so now not ONLY am i gripping, too TIGHT but

00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: it who. Controls It if I'm, a CHRISTIAN if i Believe,

560
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: in GOD if i Believe, in JESUS then i have

561
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: a father who is already in. The future and there

562
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,960

564
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,000

Speaker 1: A Story in. Second chronicles twenty there are several chapters.

641
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: About his reign there are some peaks, in some valleys,

642
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: some good decisions. Some bad decisions Sometimes he trusted god

643
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes when he trusted, his own flesh in. His

644
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: own mind but in, THIS particular case i think he's

645
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: a wonderful example for what to do in. A, dult

646
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: season see he, was doing good he was. Doing really

647
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: good he was A, king of judah which was, the

648
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: southern kingdom and this was, a very, rebellious idolatrous nation.

649
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: Much like ours. Much like ours we don't have all

650
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: these same shrines, that they have but we have all

651
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: of our same, priorities mixed up and we worship status and,

652
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: we worship stuff and we worship people's opinions more Than

653
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: we seek god's. Validation and commands so we. Relate to

654
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: this and he was doing good. AS a, king i

655
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: mean he went out on one Bad Run with, ahab ahab,

656
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: died HE lived and i think he was sobered up

657
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: by coming that. Close to death you know how when

658
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: you have, a close call, when, you're, LIKE oh well

659
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: i got to. Get IT together and i think that's what,

660
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: happened to him because he started sending all these priests

661
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: all through the kingdom to reestablish the covenant that the

662
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: People had with god that he was to, be their

663
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: God that, the lord said do not put any other

664
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: gods beside me. Or before me. Don't do it so

665
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: he was kind of sending a revival wave through the

666
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: nation and in the process of all of this building

667
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: a lot. Of military power but there came a battle

668
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: upon him that he, was not expecting was, not prepared

669
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: for and didn't know. What to do so when they

670
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: came To Him in second chronicles twenty verse one and

671
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: told him there, was an attacker, says after this after

672
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: all the good things. He was doing, by the way

673
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 1: we tend to assume that if things are going bad

674
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: in our life that we must be Off. Track with

675
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: god if things are going good, in our life then

676
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 1: we must be On. Track with god sometimes the devil

677
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: will leave you alone if You're, not following christ and

678
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: you'll actually feel like you're in a good season when

679
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: actually you are in a season. Of compromised, faith not

680
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: always But sometimes now jehasha fat who is, doing good

681
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: reforms religious. Reforms, And revival remember god corrects his, people

682
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: for rebellion but The enemy attacks god's people when. They're

683
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: in revival and you might be in a revival in your,

684
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: life right now but the. Attack is strong, so they

685
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: said they're, coming At, you The, ammonites the Moabites, even

686
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: The meuites which i'd never. Heard of before so like

687
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: enemies are coming, Out Of everywhere enemies i've never even

688
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: heard of Before in the bible are coming. After this

689
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: Guy and the bible says he was, alarmed by this

690
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: he was. Surprised, by it now one of the reasons

691
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: that we struggle with spiritual attacks is because we're surprised.

692
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: When they happen if we could just make up our. Minds,

693
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: To know then. I'm not surprised i'm not. Surprised by

694
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: this i'm not surprised that the temptation. Came back strong

695
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: i'm not surprised that things are. Starting to act this

696
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: would be, my fourth point. Don't be surprised but his

697
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: surprise drove him to a place of seeking strength And,

698
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: seeking the lord and seeking Strength. From the lord so

699
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: now he, begins to pray and he begins to he

700
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: Begins to remind god of all that he did for

701
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: his people. In the past, And, he said god you

702
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: said if we would stand here and, pray to you

703
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: that you would drive back your enemies. For your glory

704
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: you promised this from The. Time of abraham you've been

705
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: doing this. A. Long TIME god now i need you

706
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: to do What. You do god and here is the

707
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: Key Phrase, of second, chronicles chapter. Twenty verse, Twelve, he Said,

708
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: oh our god will you? Not judge them these are

709
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: enemies that are. Bigger than us these are enemies that

710
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: are positioned, to kill us and they. Are close by

711
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,879

00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: do not have. Time to strategize we do not have

714
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: time to build. Up for this our enemies did not

715

Speaker 1: ask our permission or give us advanced notice before they snuck.

716
