Speaker 2: Decision to get in the house today. I'm telling you,

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: I'm believing this year that God is going to open

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: we will not have room enough to receive. Of course,

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: as we stand on the precipice of a new year, God,

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: we thank you for what you've already brought us through.

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: It's amazing, mind blowing, absolutely incredible what you've done for us.

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: That we stand before you a new creation in Jesus Christ.

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: The old is gone and the newest come. As I

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: stand behind this pulpit today, God, I thank you for

Speaker 2: in Jesus' name.

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: Amen. Somebody shouts headed my way. Put it in the comment,

00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: say it's headed my way. Put your name in the comment.

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: So God knows where to put your DoorDash delivery. Wouldn't

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: it be cool if God was like door dash, if

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: you could track him and see where it was. But

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: somebody says headed my way, give me five on that

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: it's headed my way. High five five more people say

00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: you got a new thing coming this year.

00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Yes, Lord, we wrote that last year, but I saved

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: it for new years.

53
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I thought you needed it today.

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: All right, we are upon the first sermon of twenty

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: twenty four. You can't imagine the agony that goes into figuring,

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: out of all the different texts that the Lord would

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: speak on this day, what would it be. Because I

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: know that your heart is in a receptive place today

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: and that there is a fresh faith stiring. So I

60
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: want to share with you from a prophetic scripture in

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter twenty seven. Isaiah chapter twenty seven very meaningful

62
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: to me, and I hope you will feel the same way.

63
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: A word that the Lord gave to his people long ago,

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: but it speaks to us today. Somebody shout today today,

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: Isaiah twenty seven, verses one through six. By the way,

66
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: I want to say a huge thank you to our

67
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: our church who gave so generously in our year end

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: offering that you gave over eleven million.

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Dollars to share the.

70
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: Gospel, to heal the sick, to clothe the poor.

71
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: That's absolutely amazing.

72
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: I cry come into church today just thinking how thankful

73
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: I am for you, how expectant I am for God

74
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: to move in your life. And I want to start

75
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: this year with the prophetic word that God gave me

76
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: for you.

77
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: Isaiah twenty seven, Verse one.

78
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword,

79
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent,

80
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: Leviathan the coiling serpent.

81
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: He will slay the monster of the sea.

82
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: Anybody got some stuff you need God to kill this

83
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: year in your life that's been dragging you down.

84
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: That's what Leviathan was.

85
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: Leviathan was a chaos monster, a mythological figure, and many

86
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: believe it represented Babylon and Assyria in Egypt, the enemies

87
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: of Israel. But the truth is we all live with

88
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: our own Leviathan, don't we. And the Lord promises that

89
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: in that day that whatever has you wrapped up, whatever

90
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: has you stuck down in yourself, he will punish with

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the

92
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: gliding Serpent. I look at verse two. In that day

93
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: sing about a fruitful vineyard. I the Lord watch over it.

94
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: I water it continually. I guard it day and night,

95
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: so that no one may harm it. I am not angry.

96
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: If only there were briars and thorns confronting me, I

97
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: would march against them in battle.

98
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: I would set them all on fire. Or else. Let

99
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: them come to me for refuge. Let them make.

100
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: Peace with me. Yes, let them make peace with me.

101
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: Let me give you verse six, and then I'll tell

102
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: you our topic for today. In days to come, Jacob

103
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill

104
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: all the world with fruit. In days to come, Jacob

105
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill

106
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: all the world with fruit in days to come. I

107
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: want to appreciate you today a message. This is that day.

108
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: This is somebody shout. This is shout like you're at

109
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: a football game. This is that day. Tell your neighbor

110
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: this is that day. Other neighbor, this is that day.

111
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: Say it again, put it in the chat. This is

112
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: that day. I'm breaking out. I'm going forward, I'm growing up,

113
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm moving into it.

114
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm walking tall because this is.

115
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: That day.

116
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, you may be seated this is that day.

117
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: The perspective of Isaiah twenty seven is the perspective of

118
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: an integrated faith. An integrated faith not a fragmented faith.

119
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: A fragmented faith is when you believe in God when

120
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: things are good and doubt him when things are down.

121
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: This is an integrated faith. Everybody say integrated. It means

122
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: that in the process of moving forward in what God

123
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: has for you in the days to come, you will

124
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: have to make the decision to remain hopeful. When I

125
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: say remain hopeful, that also includes leaving room for disappointment.

126
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: So for grown ups, believing in God means remaining in

127
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: hope while leaving room for disappointment.

128
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: That goes to every area of our life.

129
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: Hopeful that you might have a good week with your

130
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: family or a good meal with your kids. But leaving

131
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: some room. Everybody say leave room. That's what I tell

132
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: the tailor when he takes my pants in. I say,

133
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: leave some room. In case Holly Cook's really good over

134
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: the holidays, Just leave me a little growing room.

135
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: And I think that leaving room.

136
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 2: For disappointment, that's what I mean by integrated faith. It's

137
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 2: really how our faith is sustained so that we see

138
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: disappointments as doorways to greater faith, not dead ends. In case,

139
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: the first few years of your walk with God have

140
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: been confusing to you because at first things seemed to

141
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: go up when you walked with God, and then things

142
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: went down and you thought that following God was always

143
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: going to lead you up. God wants to give you

144
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: an integrated faith. In case, the first few days of

145
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: your new year have sucked, and I thought about saying

146
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: have been spiritually challenging.

147
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: But when it sucks, it sucks, you know. I just

148
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: put it how you put it. This is like this

149
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: is the same old, same old.

150
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: What we want to talk about today is a little

151
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: bit different because we understand that it is our responsibility

152
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: as Christian people to manage our expectation.

153
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: Meaning I've got to make.

154
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: Sure that I don't let my experiences in life regulate

155
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: my expectations of God. Write this down I will not,

156
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: or say it out loud, whatever you want to do

157
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: to reinforce it, Auditory learner, Okay, just say I will

158
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: not allow my experience in life to regulate my expectation

159
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: of God.

160
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: That is a daily decision you've got to make.

161
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: And I think that a lot of the damaged relationships

162
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: in our life are because of unmanaged expectations that we

163
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: really started depending on somebody to do things for us

164
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: that only God could do for us. We really started

165
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: expecting things to be like the perfect little movies we

166
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: make up in our mind of how things are supposed

167
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,479
Speaker 2: to go when we show up. And so the integrated

168
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: faith that Isaiah describes really beautiful because he says that

169
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: there's two things happening. There is a fight. Everybody say fight.

170
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 2: That's verse one of Isaiah twenty seven. In that day,

171
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: the Lord will punish with his sword. Now you have

172
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: the sword if you're just going through life, strolling through

173
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: your day. So there's a fight happening. And then in

174
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: verse two it says, in that day sing about a

175
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: fruitful vineyard. So let me point something out to you.

176
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: There's a sword in verse one, and there's a song

177
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: in verse two. But the sword and the song are

178
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: happening on the same day. Okay, This integrated faith will

179
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: make me get up in the morning and never say

180
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: again it's gonna be one of those days, because it's

181
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 2: always going to be.

182
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: One of those days.

183
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: Almost got discouraged before I came out today because my

184
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: hair right, there was flat and I couldn't get it up,

185
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: and I was going, Oh God, how am I going

186
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: to preach if my hair is flat?

187
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: Right?

188
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 2: There?

189
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

190
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: You have the word of God and the spirit of God,

191
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have a bad hair day and get

192
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: up in the pulpit without confidence. And I think I

193
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: fixed it, but I'm still not really sure. So I'm

194
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: kind of insecure as I stand before you.

195
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It doesn't it doesn't take.

196
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: Much to remove us from a hopeful expectation.

197
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: My expectation is my responsibility.

198
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: Nobody can ruin my day. I got a verse for that,

199
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: Psalm one eighteen, verse twenty four. It's the year twenty

200
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: twenty four, right, all right, this is a verse twenty

201
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: four for you.

202
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: This is the.

203
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: Day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be

204
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: glad in it. So if God made this day, nobody

205
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: else gets to mess it up. I used to say

206
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: to people, when they send me a nice text, you

207
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: made my day. I quit saying that because I figure

208
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: if they can make my day by sending me a

209
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: nice text, they can mess up my day if they

210
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: send me another type of text. Now we want to

211
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: get up every day this year and say, this is

212
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice

213
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: and be glad in it. So it's the challenge watch

214
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: this to remain in hope while leaving room for disappointment.

215
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: I think our expectations this time of year could use

216
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 2: a little HGH holy ghost hormone.

217
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: To get us on an expecting path.

218
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: That God has given me, a hope in the future

219
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: and an expected end. No matter what they did or

220
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: didn't do for you, no matter who left or who stayed,

221
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: or who called back or who blocked your number, I

222
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: have an expected end. And yet as I walk through

223
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: these days, I understand that my challenge is to remain.

224
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Do you want to take notes on my message today?

225
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: My first word is remain because I want to challenge

226
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: you to remain in hope this year and leave room

227
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: for disappointment.

228
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: And you're like, which one is it? I want you

229
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: to do both.

230
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: I want you to expect the blessing and accept the mess.

231
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: In that day there will be a sword because everybody

232
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: in here is fighting something. Everybody in here has a Leviathan.

233
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: I might preach about Leviathan next week, a whole sermon

234
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: on Leviathan I might do it next week. Would you

235
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: come back if I did? Would you make a hat

236
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: about it if I did? Yeah? Then, But notice that

237
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: while the sword is fighting Leviathan, because everybody has a Leviathan,

238
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: and everybody knows how to hide it. It's a coiling serpent,

239
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: it's a gliding serpent.

240
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: You hide your Leviathan behind a smile.

241
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: You hide your Leviathan behind new clothes to the disguise

242
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: the fact that I dragged old habits underneath new clothes.

243
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: Some of us have new hair. Talked about a bad

244
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: hair day. Some of us actually have new hair on

245
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: our head in a new year.

246
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: Yet notice this in the text. Notice this in the text.

247
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: At the same time that God is dealing with the enemy,

248
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: he commands you to sing about the fruit that is

249
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: coming forth in your life. I love the Bible because

250
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: this gives me an integrated expectation of God, that there

251
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: will always be a fight in my life, but there

252
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: will always be fruit in my life. As a matter

253
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: of fact, I learned, the bigger the fight, the bigger

254
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: the fruit is going to be.

255
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: And the size.

256
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: Of the fight is a preview of.

257
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: The size of the fruit.

258
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: I find somebody say it's gonna be big baby.

259
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm appreciate today. I don't know what y'all are gonna do.

260
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: Shall remain.

261
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: He talks about Jacob, He talks about Israel being planted

262
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: and bearing fruit, having root and bearing fruit, And I

263
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: wonder are you rooted in the right thing?

264
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: As this year begins?

265
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: And I came to ask one question of our global

266
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: EFM and our local campuses all around the world, what

267
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: will you do with.

268
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: Your twenty four.

269
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: I think we're all a little humbler about our new

270
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: year's resolutions. After the year formerly known as twenty twenty,

271
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: every preacher I know was up preaching about Vision twenty

272
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: twenty Vision, and then.

273
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: Just completely blindsided by the.

274
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: Fact that the Lord didn't give us a prophetic word,

275
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: that we would be looking at empty seats all year,

276
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: preaching in our empty buildings.

277
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: So all the sermons are humbler. In the new year,

278
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: all the plans are a.

279
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: Little bit moderated, mitigated, modulated. I found a verse for

280
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: that too, Proverbs twenty seven to one.

281
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: I put this one in the King James. Check it out.

282
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: Both not thyself up tomorrow, for thou knowest not what

283
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 2: a day may bring forth. So when I had you

284
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: shout this is that day. Shout it again, this is

285
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: that day.

286
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: Some of y'all said that in lowercase letters, no exclamation point,

287
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: this is that day. You're You're very deep, so you're like,

288
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that day?

289
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 2: I was just reading the Bible because Isaiah said, in

290
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 2: that day, the Lord's gonna fight your enemies, and in

291
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: that day you will sing of a fruitful vineyard.

292
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: That day.

293
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: You know that day you dream of. There are many

294
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: of you today who are dreaming of a day. Say

295
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: I'm dreaming of a day. If you don't talk back

296
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: to me during the sermon, you get a flat tire

297
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: when you leave to go in the parking lot.

298
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: We've got some guests.

299
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: I need to explain the rules, say that day, that day.

300
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: And so we have an expectation that God is going

301
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: to free us from certain things this year, that God

302
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: is going to deliver us from certain dilemmas this year,

303
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: that God is going to provide for us. And expectation

304
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: is great as long as it's integrated, because I think

305
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 2: the danger of having expectations about what God is going

306
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: to do. You know, twenty twenty four, God's going to

307
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: do more in twenty four, I'm leaving the shore in

308
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: twenty four. I'm going to get a stronger core in

309
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: twenty four. You want another one something I've never seen before.

310
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four. My ceiling is going to be

311
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: my floor. In twenty twenty four not going to be poor.

312
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: Why we say that, And while it's good to envision that,

313
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: and I'll be honest with you, some of the things

314
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: that I'm seeing today in my life are the result

315
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: of a vision that God gave me at a time

316
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: when I couldn't see anything like what I'm seeing today.

317
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: I believe in that expectation.

318
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: I think the danger we should talk about as you

319
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 2: move into your new year and what God wants to

320
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: do through you, is that sometimes your expectation.

321
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: Of the future can become your excuse.

322
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: Right now, and I'll break it down to a phrase

323
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 2: that I heard, and I'll use Elijah to give it

324
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: to you. When he was very little, we were taking

325
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: Easter pictures as a family, and of course our kids

326
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: just love taking Easter.

327
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: Pictures because they're the pastor's kids.

328
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 2: They were fighting, they were angry, they were despondent, and

329
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: Elijah finally like after having to change outfits a few times.

330
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: This is a legendary line that he said in our family.

331
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: He said, I hate Easter when I'm the pastor. So

332
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: let's break this down. He said, one day when I'm

333
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: the pastor, We're not even gonna have Easter. I'm canceling Easter.

334
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: He was like five, So don't judge him like that.

335
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he was five. But check this out

336
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: a five year old's perspective. One day when I'm the pastor.

337
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: One day when one day when have you ever been

338
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: a victim of? One day when syndrome. Yeah, I'm not

339
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: doing too good right now, but one day, one day

340
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 2: when I get these kids.

341
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: Out the house. The problem I have with that plan one.

342
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 2: Day when I get the kids out the house, is

343
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: that twenty years ago you were saying one day when

344
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: I have kids of my own, and now it's shifted

345
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: to a future stage where you think you'll have more

346
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: space and less stress. Let's do another one. I'm going

347
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: to start a business one day when I have the

348
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: right partner. I used to laugh when teams would come

349
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: to see our church and they were starting their own church,

350
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: and the pastor would pull me aside and say, hey,

351
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: I got a gift that I got an annoying got

352
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: a call star church when we reach people far from God.

353
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: But I don't have a team. Where do you get

354
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: your team? And I would always make something up. Oh, well,

355
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: you know to build a bear store.

356
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: Well they got to build a ministry team store.

357
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: And I went down there and I found the right

358
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: amount of achiever and doer and the right amount of dreamer,

359
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: and I put a team together.

360
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: What do you think the team came from the same

361
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: place Jesus got his team.

362
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: You find the people that God has placed in your

363
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: life that are imperfect, and you make it happen with.

364
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: Who you've got.

365
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: Now, if you are expecting a stage in your life

366
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: when the perfect people will come into your life to

367
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 2: help you figure out your imperfect life, if God sends

368
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: perfect people in your life, you should send them away

369
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: so they stay perfect, because the moment they get tangled

370
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: up with you and me, they.

371
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: Won't be perfect anymore.

372
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: Did you ever do the one day when thing, Well,

373
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get in shape one day, when one day

374
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: win what I'm gonna do the diet one day when

375
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 2: one day when what I'll tell you what happened to me?

376
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: It is so embarrassing. One day I saw in the mirror.

377
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: I don't know how you see forty five pounds that

378
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: you've gained all at once, but it.

379
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: Was like a flash of revelation. It was like a

380
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: road to Damascus to me. I walked by the mirror

381
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: after being married to Holly for eighteen months, with my

382
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: shirt off, and I said, why didn't you.

383
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: Tell me this was happening to me? And why did

384
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: you contribute to it with your cooking? I said, I'm

385
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: going on Atkins. That's the diet I knew, and it

386
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: involved bacon, and I like bacon, so I gotta.

387
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Lose this belly.

388
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: But I got to use bacon to do it because

389
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be counting macros anytime soon.

390
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: And Holly said, great, that's great. We could go on

391
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: to diet next week.

392
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: I said, no, I'm not eating another car starting right now,

393
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: and I didn't.

394
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: We went the Windy's that night. I donated back the

395
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: bun to the homeless Ministry and just state the patty

396
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: and I did that over and over and over and over,

397
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: and she thought that was so strange. She said, you

398
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: could have gave me time. We could have shopped.

399
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: We could have hired a nutritionist, but I knew too

400
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: much to have to give a nutritionist money to start

401
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: doing what I could do today. Now I'm telling you,

402
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: one day, one day, when I have more time, I'm

403
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: gonna write a book. One day when my wife starts

404
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: acting right, I could really I could really be a

405
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: great businessman if my wife would believe in me one

406
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: day when she gets the vision.

407
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: What if she doesn't need to get the vision.

408
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: What if you need to show the discipline? Somebody say

409
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: one day, one day when one day I'm tell you,

410
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: Pastor Steven, I'm gonna start giving to the church.

411
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: One day when.

412
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: I one day when I'm man all of the riches.

413
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: I know that, I know that the day is coming.

414
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 2: God has told me I will be a millionaire. I

415
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: will fund the kingdom. I will send apostles into the earth.

416
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: And one day, when I get this business right, if

417
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: you won't do it with ten dollars, I promise you

418
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: won't do it with millions.

419
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: I promise, because it's gonna be more zeros.

420
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: This is gonna make you throw up even that much

421
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: more when you give it.

422
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: One day when and I have found myself.

423
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: Now I know this new Year's message is not the

424
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 2: shutiest New Year's message, but I think it could be

425
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: a sustaining one for you if you make a subtle shift.

426
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: And if the first point of this sermon is remain

427
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 2: in hope, but leave room for disappointment, because there will

428
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: always be a fight, and there will always be fruit,

429
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: and sometimes you have to really allow the fight to

430
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: take its course to see the fruit come forth. If

431
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: the first word is remain, the second thing I want

432
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: you to do this year is reduce.

433
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Reduce, And again this is not a weight loss seminar.

434
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: And I know that reduce is not a juicy New

435
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: Year's word. And I know that we want God to

436
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: add to our lives, and you should. I want you

437
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: to have more influence. I want you to have more

438
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: happy moments. I want you to have more laughter. I

439
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: want you to have more peaceful sleep at night, more

440
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: hours of sleep. I want you to be able to

441
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: see more places and create more opportunities for others and yourself.

442
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I want you to experience more.

443
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: I want to point out to you that in the

444
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: text I read, God did not say anything to Israel

445
00:26:52,240 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 2: about years. In Isaiah chapter twenty seven, verse one, he

446
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: says in that day, verse two, in that day, verse.

447
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: Six, in days to come, And I wonder are.

448
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 2: We stressed, discouraged, defeated, and lacking momentum and victory in

449
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: our life? Because when I said what are you going

450
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: to do with your twenty four?

451
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: You thought years.

452
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: The real answer to the question what will you do

453
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: with your twenty four is not about a year called

454
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: twenty four. It's about this is the day the Lord

455
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: has made. When I woke up this morning, I had

456
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: twenty four hours of opportunity deposited into my account. And

457
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: I can sit here with you and dream about all

458
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: of the amazing things I'm going to accomplish for God

459
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 2: this year. I could sit here and advertise to you

460
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: all of the amazing possibilities that could happen.

461
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: In your life this year.

462
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: More in twenty four, leave the shore in twenty four,

463
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: strengthen your core in twenty four. And all of that

464
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: that I say about twenty four is wonderful and abstract,

465
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: but it.

466
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: Falls into the category of one day.

467
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: When so round about June, I'm gonna have my beach body.

468
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: So round about December, I'm gonna have some of these

469
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: debts paid off, so round about three years from now,

470
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: my family's gonna be back together. Round about ten years

471
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: from now, my kids are going to college.

472
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: I believe in long term vision.

473
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: I think it's all amazing, But I think this one

474
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: day win can be a trap to keep you focused

475
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: so much on the years that you don't do with

476
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: the days what you can do with the days.

477
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: Isn't this what Jesus said, Why do.

478
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: You worry about tomorrow? Tomorrow has enough trouble of its own.

479
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. If you're anxious, are

480
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: you anxious about today? Or are you anxious about Wednesday?

481
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: Or are you anxious about Wednesday three weeks from now?

482
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: Or are you anxious about when you retire?

483
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: When you're seventy five, you're seventeen, You've got time.

484
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: There's days between here and there.

485
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: You know how much peace it'll bring you to recognize

486
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: the revelation of a day. Here's the revelation of a day,

487
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: that the grace for the.

488
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: Day is in the day.

489
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: The grace for tomorrow is not in today. The only

490
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: thing that is in today for tomorrow for you is

491
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: anxiety if you don't put it in God's hands. And

492
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: Jesus said, sufficient is the day. Give us this day

493
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: our fifteen year bread. He doesn't even pray for twelve

494
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: months of bread. I'm saying, have a plan, I'm saying,

495
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: have a strategy. I'm saying, have a financial advisor. But

496
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: you got to do that today and waiting.

497
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: On a time.

498
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: You remember when we thought there was no need to

499
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: set up online giving back in two thousand and six

500
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: because nobody was giving online.

501
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: But we had to set it up that day for

502
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: this day.

503
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: Now, I think ninety three percent of giving is online,

504
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: ninety eight ninety eight percent from nothing to ninety eight percent.

505
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: But there's something in your life like that right now,

506
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: and you go one day when I get more money,

507
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 2: I'll learn to manage it. That is a syndrome that

508
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: affects people of faith even more than it affects atheists,

509
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: because we will blame God for that. We'll say I'm

510
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: not doing it, God's going to do it. We'll say

511
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: I don't need to take care of that. God's got

512
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: me in his hands, and he does. In that day

513
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: the Lord, we'll fight, Leviathan, but you and I have

514
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: a responsibility too, So I want us to make a shift.

515
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Are you open to a shift? This year.

516
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: If you're open to a shift, just nod your head

517
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: at me a little bit, wiggle your pinky wiggle your

518
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: pinky toe, just do something to get in agreement with me.

519
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: Somebody shall shift. Come on, pronounce it well with the

520
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: FN and say shift. Because I want your year this

521
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: year to be full of fruit. I want your year

522
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 2: this year to be full of abundance. I want your

523
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: year this year to have heavy branches. I want rain

524
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 2: to fall on your relationships, your resources.

525
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: So we're gonna shift this. That's what we're gonna do.

526
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: Touch somebody say I'm gonna shift this.

527
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: I've been stressed out about the next week. I'm gonna

528
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: break it down and reduce it because really what I'm

529
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: worried about has nothing to do with where I am.

530
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: It has to do with where I think I'm going

531
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: to be. And I don't know what tomorrow holds.

532
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: So God has not given me a promise concerning this year.

533
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 2: He gave me a promise for this day. And the

534
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: promise is not for tomorrow because you don't know what

535
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: tomorrow holds. So I want you to go from one

536
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: day when that thinking, how many have done that before?

537
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: By the way, one day win put it in the

538
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: chat one day when, one day when, one day when,

539
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: this most powerful thing I could teach you to help

540
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: you set up for this year for what God wants

541
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: to speak, for the disciplines you want to pass on,

542
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: for the things that you want to see set straight

543
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: in your life.

544
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: I want you to go from one day when to

545
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: one day when, from one day when.

546
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: Because Isaiah didn't say anything about years, he said in that.

547
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: Day, in that day, this is your year to win

548
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: one day at a time.

549
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: And if we get a one day win on top

550
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: of a one day win on top of a one

551
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: day win, on top of a one day win on

552
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: top of a one day win on top of a

553
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 2: one day win, one day we'll be telling our kids

554
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: one day when I made a decision to get a

555
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: one day win. Now, see, you don't get it. You're

556
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: going to be telling somebody the story one day and

557
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna.

558
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: Say, how did you get out of the depression?

559
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: And you say, well, one day when I decided to

560
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: call a counselor and have a conversation and begin to

561
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: open myself up to the fact that the Holy Spirit

562
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: can use people, and I need to admit some of

563
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: the things that I'm struggling with, and I need to

564
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: fight this Leviathan and get some leverage on this addiction

565
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: and start to open this window so the light of

566
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 2: God can come streaming in.

567
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: I got a one day win.

00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: glory to God. I feel happy preaching my own notes.

592
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: I wrote this in my own notes.

593
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: And I'm receiving it.

594
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: I got that fresh bread for twenty four elevation charts.

595
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna feed you this word from.

596
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: God till you're strong enough to fight.

597
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: Every Leviathan in your life.

598
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: And God said, when you sing about a fruitful vineyard,

599
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 2: I'll slay every wicked.

600
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: Thing in your life.

601
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 2: How many know while you were singing today, you were winning.

602
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 2: While you were worshiping today, you were winning. Because this

603
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: is how I fight my battles.

604
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: This is how I get my mind right. This is

605
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: how I set my mind on things about.

606
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: This is how I overcome my darkness.

607
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: This is how I cut my gliding serpent. This is

608
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: how I walked in favor. This is how my there

609
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: my shruit. This is what I'm doing with my twenty four.

610
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: I was watching basketball one time ten years ago, and

611
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: the commentator gave me a whole sermon.

612
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: The man shot the ball.

613
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 2: There was like one second left on the shot clock,

614
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: and the guy who shot he missed. Everybody say he missed,

615
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: But then it hit the backboard, and ten years ago

616
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: in the NBA, if you got the offensive rebound after

617
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 2: missing a shot, the shot clock would reset to twenty

618
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: four seconds. You don't get it, so it means you

619
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 2: missed that one. But if you get that ball back

620
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: in your hands, I believe God brought somebody to church

621
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 2: today so you could get this ball back in your hands.

622
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 2: I know you missed some in twenty three, but this

623
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 2: is twenty four. Somebody shout, this is twenty four. Put

624
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: it in my YouTube comments. This is twenty four. Announced

625
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: to your neighbor. This is twenty four. This is twenty four.

626
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: And when he got the ball back, the announcer said,

627
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: he gets a new twenty four. I thought I would

628
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 2: announce to somebody who came to church on the first

629
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: Sunday of the new year, which happens.

630
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: To be twenty twenty four. He walked you up this morning,

631
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: He started you on your way, He closed you in

632
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: your right mind. He gave you the breadth of life.

633
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: You got a new twenty four.

634
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: You got a new arm. You've got a little twenty far,

635
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: wenty far, whenny far?

636
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: What's it warm? Wheny far? I'm gonna do this thing.

637
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: In days to come, You mean, I gotta break this

638
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: thing down. I'm not drinking today, I'm not looking at

639
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: it today, I'm not hooking up with them today. I'm

640
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: not complaining about it today, because this.

641
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: Is today the Lord has made.

642
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: Maybe you can't even face the day with confidence. So

643
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: let's break it down a little more. Say I got

644
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: a new twenty four. What if you open your mouth

645
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: on when you wake up tomorrow and say, thank you

646
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: Lord for a new twenty four, And you know what,

647
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 2: it really frustrates the devil if you miss the last

648
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: shot the last day, if you really screwed it up

649
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: the day before and you wake up and you see

650
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: that shot clock in your life. Oh, God must not

651
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: be done with me because I got a new twenty four. Yeah,

652
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 2: I got a new twenty four. So I'm taking the

653
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: shot today. Everything that I did that wasn't like God

654
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: is covered by the blood of Jesus.

655
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: I got a new twenty four.

656
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: When he said in that day, listen when he said

657
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: in that day, in that day, and then in verse

658
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: six he said, in days to come, I realized the

659
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: way we're going to be where we want to be.

660
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: At the end of twenty four, it's twenty four at

661
00:40:51,160 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 2: a time. I feel God on this message. I don't

662
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: even want to do my second two points because I

663
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: feel God right here.

664
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: He left you here because there is fruit still to

665
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: come forth from your life. That's why you got a

666
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: new twenty four.

667
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 2: Once in a while this year, you're gonna have one

668
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: of those days. Not a bad hair day, but all

669
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: hell breaks loose day and at seven thirty am. So

670
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 2: if you can't just break it down to the day,

671
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: break it down to the breath, next breath, next breath,

672
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: he said, Israel will butt and blossom and bring forth fruit.

673
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: You know how you bring forth fruit and but and

674
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: blossom one breath at a time. You can take the

675
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: next breath and the next. I googled before I came

676
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 2: how many breaths does the average person take in one day?

677
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: It said between seventeen thousand and thirty thousand. I figured

678
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: somewhere in the average, it's twenty four thousand. So look

679
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: at me, children of Zion. If twenty four hours is

680
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: too much for you to face, you got twenty four

681
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: thousand breaths to reset you.

682
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: I was praying. I was praying one time before I preached,

683
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: I prayed that that moment would be a reset for

684
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: everybody who came in the room that day all week

685
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: long has just felt like I can't. I can't breathe,

686
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: I can't I can't move, I can't do it. And

687
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: the Lord says in that day, it's amazing how we

688
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: can be in a day that God gave us and

689
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 1: not recognize it as a gift.

690
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: You ever notice that, I guess that's my third r. Recognize.

691
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: You better recognize. If you don't recognize that, you regret it.

692
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 2: We went to Atlanta to watch Graham wrestle last weekend

693
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: and it was so crowded in that gym, and as

694
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, it was so wonderful to watch

695
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: them wrestle that I just looked at Holly and I said,

696
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 2: one day we'll look at these crowded gems with dirty,

697
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: sweaty wrestling boys filling the air with the fragrance of

698
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 2: athleticism and knee pads and wrestling shoes.

699
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: And looking all around. I said, we're going to look

700
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: back and say, those were the days.

701
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 2: So why not just shift it, buck and say it

702
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 2: right when you're in it, these are the days, somebody say,

703
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: this is that day God brought you here. Don't you

704
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: ever let the pain or the pressure make you forfeit

705
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: the grace of the day. That's why I stand here.

706
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm not pausing right now because I don't know

707
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: what to say next.

708
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm taking it in. This is the.

709
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 2: Day, this is that day, you understand.

710
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: I prayed that this church would happen. God built this

711
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: church to see this.

712
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 2: Many people gather to have this level of ministry influence,

713
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 2: to be able to preach to your life is something

714
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: that I saw from age sixteen.

715
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: One day when and then you're in it and you

716
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: don't recognize it.

717
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: What I want you to understand about every day you

718
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 2: will have this year and just twenty four at a time.

719
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm going deeper next week. I'm going deeper next week

720
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: because the Lord is really using this to penetrate somebody's worry.

721
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: Somebody's just out of balance, and God is bringing you

722
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: back to it right now. And by the way, this

723
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 2: word will not last you till next January.

724
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: You need daily time in the presence of God. Clap

725
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: your hands about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

726
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 2: So we recognize these moments when we're in them, and

727
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 2: we say, wait, this is that day.

728
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: Now, it's hard to know it when you're in it.

729
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: So that's why the fourth thing I want to give

730
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: you is to get you to reframe it.

731
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: Look at verse six. I think this one was the

732
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: one that spoke to me the most of all of them,

733
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: because it sounds like God is talking about two different

734
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: people and two different processes. Thank you Jesus.

735
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: It sounds like he's talking about two different people and

736
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 2: two different processes.

737
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: He says, in days.

738
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: To come, Now we've gone from one day to multiple days,

739
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 2: from the present circumstance to the future. Promise in days

740
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: to come, Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and

741
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 2: blossom and fill all the world with fruit.

742
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: Now he's talking about the nation of Israel, from whom.

743
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: The Messiah came, that blessed the whole world and took

744
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: the gospel even to the gentiles.

745
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: That's what he's talking about. He's talking about, Jesus. But

746
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: watch the application.

747
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: He says, Jacob will take ruth, Israel will bud and blossom.

748
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 2: And you know what I'm learning more and more about

749
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: these years and seasons and paths that God gives us

750
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 2: is that you're going to have both of those kinds

751
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: of days and you are going to feel like both

752
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 2: of those people. See, Jacob and Israel are not two

753
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 2: different people. In the Bible, a man named Jacob became

754
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: the father of the tribes that would be the nation

755
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 2: of Israel. And when God changed Jacob, he changed his name.

756
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: He said, you used to be called Jacob, but now

757
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: your name is Israel. Jacob means deceiver, that's who Jacob was.

758
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 2: Israel means prince with God, because he struggled with God

759
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 2: and with men and overcame. Is that not a picture

760
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 2: of what it feels like to be you in any

761
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: one given day. Doesn't it depend what somebody thinks of

762
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: you on what day they meet you on how many

763
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 2: of you have Jacob days that still happen in your life?

764
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 2: Is there one honest person in the whole truth? I

765
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: need to zip up my jacket. I feel exposed with

766
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: all of you fake people. Have you ever had an

767
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 2: Israel calling but a Jacob day where it just feels

768
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: like a total flashback, a total relapse. A new name

769
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: and a new nature do not automatically give way to

770
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 2: new habits. I want you to notice that he says,

771
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 2: Jacob will take root verse six, Israel will bud and

772
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 2: blossom and fill the world with fruit. One of them

773
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: is going down, one of them is going up.

774
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: I will have some down days this year.

775
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: I expect that, just like I expect to be blessed,

776
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 2: I will have some days where I can barely get

777
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 2: out of the bed.

778
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: In fact, some of us might have already had one

779
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: and we're just getting this wonderful year started. I will

780
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: have some.

781
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 2: Down days where I can't find one thing to feel

782
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 2: good about.

783
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: But I will not allow.

784
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: The down days to define me anymore past this point.

785
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 2: Let it be written, let it be done forever and ever.

786
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: Amen.

787
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 2: Because I have a Jacob day doesn't mean I don't

788
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: have an Israel purpose. What are you trying to say, Erdick,

789
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: don't let the down days fool you. The down days

790
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 2: are the days where God is getting you grounded so

791
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 2: that when He brings.

792
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: You up, y'all aren't here to give him glory.

793
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 2: The down days exist so you appreciate the great days.

794
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: So do not let the devil tell you for one minute,

795
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: oh it's just gonna be one of those years. Oh

796
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be one of those days.

797
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 2: I want you to reclaim your day and let the

798
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: enemy know that even the down days, somebody shout, even

799
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: the down days are working my root system so that

800
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 2: I will be ready for the fruit God wants me

801
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 2: to bear. Do you believe that you gotta reframe it

802
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: where you say, oh, it's one of those days. It's

803
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 2: always one of those days. It's a growing day, and

804
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: it's a gross day. The roots are in the soil,

805
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 2: in the dirt. That's the gross day. And then the

806
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: fruit is coming forth and it's growing. Which one will

807
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: you focus on this day?

808
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: I promise you that this is that day.

809
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: Don't be surprised when the biggest fights come at the

810
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 2: moments of the greatest fruit. They come in the same day.

811
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: You are in a great day. Somebody shout, I'm in

812
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: a great day. And in days to come, my roots

813
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 2: are gonna grow deeper, My fruit is gonna stretch farther.

814
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: I believe that whatever you're going through right now that

815
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 2: you would not choose, God will use in your life

816
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 2: to produce fruit that you can not even imagine with

817
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: your mind. In accordance with Ephesians three twenty, I believe

818
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: that on the days where you choose to believe, oh,

819
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 2: this is a root day, this is not a fruit day.

820
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: I can't feel God today, but he's with me today.

821
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 2: This is the great integration of your life. Quis saying

822
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 2: it was a good day, a bad day, a good week,

823
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 2: a bad week, a good year, a bad year.

824
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: As for me in my house, we will serve the Lord.

825
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 2: Choose ye this day whom you will serve. You got

826
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: a new twenty four baby, and y'all are clapping like

827
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 2: y'all are in a golf course and I'm talking about

828
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 2: a basketball analogy.

829
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: You got a new twenty four.

830
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 2: You got twenty four thousand breasts today. Doesn't God deserve

831
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 2: at least a few.

832
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: Of them to praise him?

833
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 2: Win?

834
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: You didn't open your mouth all year to praise God?

835
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: Do it now? Thank you, lid, and I'm gonna get

836
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 1: this one day. Win. You won today. You won.

837
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 2: If even if you kick the cat when you get home,

838
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 2: you won. You came to church today, I mean, don't

839
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: do it.

840
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: But if you did, you got this word today. Every

841
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: time you hear the word of God, it's like seed

842
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 1: being sown into your heart. Are you good ground? God

843
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: gave you a new twenty four. God gave you another

844
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 1: year to glorify him. Are you good ground?

845
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: And while we're waiting for one day, when God's saying, no,

846
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: just win one day, one breath, we can all do that.

847
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 2: I didn't tell you to run a marathon this year.

848
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 2: I said one day when walk around the block tonight,

849
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 2: one day, when read one chapter.

850
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: Of scripture today before you go to bed, I say,

851
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: at twenty seven, I already did it. I'm ahead of you. Preacher.

852
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 2: I read it to you, you read it by yourself.

853
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 2: One This is your year. You know how preachers say

854
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 2: this is your year. I want to say, this is

855
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: that day.

856
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: Now what year you're gonna be in. I'm gonna do it.

857
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on my YouTube this week and finish

858
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: this message for you from the basin. Okay, I got

859
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: more I want to say.

860
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 2: I can't get it out right now, but more than that,

861
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: can we build some consistency in our lives, in our

862
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: patterns this year, so that we don't put God's house

863
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: like if everything else gets done, I'll show up to

864
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 2: church type item on our list.

865
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: Trees don't fill the world with fruit.

866
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 2: That way, and you won't be filled with peace that way,

867
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: and you won't be able to make your mark that

868
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: way either. The Bible says that God will guard you

869
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 2: day and night, and he will water you consistently so

870
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: that you but in blossom.

871
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: But you've got to be planted in the right place.

872
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 2: To all of you who are planted in this ministry,

873
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 2: I stand in agreement with you this year that this

874
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 2: is that day. I don't know what job you're going

875
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 2: to be working at the end of the year. I

876
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 2: don't know who is or who isn't going to be

877
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 2: on your favorites list in your phone. I don't know

878
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: what will or won't be hurting in your body this year.

879
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 2: But one thing we know. We got a new twenty four.

880
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 2: And Jeremiah twenty one says this I recall to my mind.

881
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 2: Therefore I have hope it is of the Lord's mercies

882
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 2: that we are not consumed. Give me verse twenty three

883
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 2: because lamentations three, because lamentations three, because I promise this

884
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: in the Bible, that compassions fail not they are new

885
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 2: every morning. Put your hands like this to God so

886
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 2: he could give you the ball. Stand up on your feet,

887
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 2: get ready to take this shot. You got a new

888
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 2: twenty four. This is a bounce back moment for you.

889
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: This is a rebound Sunday for you. We don't need

890
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 2: a new Year's resolution till we get a rebound to

891
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 2: realize He gave us this day. Thank you for this

892
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 2: twenty four God, Thank you for this fruit that will

893
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 2: come forth. Thank you for these roots that have grown

894
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 2: down deep. Thank you that our roots have weathered the storm.

895
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 2: Our relationship with you is still intact. Our hope is

896
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 2: still built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

897
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: Say, I got a new twenty four and I offer

898
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: you this day.

899
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 2: Lord, This is the day you have made with your

900
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 2: head's bowed and your eyes closed. The Lord is saying

901
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 2: that for somebody, this is the day of your salvation.

902
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 2: This is that day for you to place your faith

903
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 2: in Jesus. This is that day for you to make

904
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: a commitment to be a follower of Christ and receive

905
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 2: his grace in your life.

906
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: Right now, I want to lead you in a prayer.

907
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 2: And wherever you're watching from, if you're in a building

908
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 2: or you're watching online, doesn't matter. The Bible says as

909
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 2: that a man named Zachius heard that Jesus was passing

910
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 2: his way, and he climbed up in a tree.

911
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: To see Jesus.

912
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 2: And Jesus said to Zachias, who was a tax collector

913
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 2: and a short man, who was at a disadvantage and

914
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 2: an ill repute. Zachias, come down out of that tree.

915
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: Today.

916
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 2: I'm coming to your house. I believe Jesus is passing

917
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 2: your way right now.

918
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: This is that day.

919
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 2: He wants to come into your house, your heart, your habits,

920
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 2: your life, and give you a new hope and a

921
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: future and forgiveness of your sin. Right now, we're going

922
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 2: to pray a prayer out loud as a church family

923
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 2: for the benefit of those who are coming to God

924
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 2: or coming back to God as a rededication. And if

925
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 2: you pray this by faith, the Bible says that by

926
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: grace we are saved.

927
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: Through faith, God will hear you and He will save you.

928
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: This day today is today.

929
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: Repeat after me, Heavenly Father, Today is my day of salvation.

930
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: Today. I give you my heart.

931
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: I believe you sent your son, Jesus Christ to die

932
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 2: for my sin. I believe he rose again to give

933
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 2: me life. I receive this new life. This is my

934
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 2: new beginning. On the counter of three shoots your hand up.

935
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: If you prayed that one, two, three online, let us

936
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 2: know right now I'm receiving Jesus.

937
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm receiving Jesus. This is my day, this is my moment,

938
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: this is my turnaround.

939
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 3: This is my moment, this is my day. This is

940
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 3: my turnaround. If God great praise in the house, why.

941
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 2: All he look this is that day and look back

942
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: on that day and say that was the day I

943
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,760
