1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: for you to break it down a little more, to

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: take it a little deeper. I hope you enjoy this

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: overflow message. Let me know, let's go.

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: Do the new You.

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: Get a clear picture of what God has created you

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: to be by spending time in his presence, communing with him,

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: putting his word in your heart, getting the imprint of

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: his image clearly in your mind, worshiping him, seeing Him

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: for who he is, seeing Jesus for how he treated people,

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: wanting to become more like that, being open to becoming

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: more like that, praying for the Holy Spirit to make

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: you more like.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: That, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 2: So we've been saying all you you're in this ministry,

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: the true you is the new you, and the new

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: you the one that you are becoming as you step

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: toward God's picture of you. That you is the true you,

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: but you have to choose it. The imagery of Ephesians

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: four is like putting on clothes.

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Right. I chose my clothes today I did.

23
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: I chose these clothes because they were appropriate for the

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: activity that I just did. Honestly, I feel a little

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: bit underdressed for making the video teaching, but this is

26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: what I wore to work out, and it's what I

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: were to make the video. I chose it for the workout.

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: I chose what I would wear today, just like I

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: chose what I would drink. And I don't get to

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: choose the attitude that the people are going to have

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: who interact with me today, or what their priority is

32
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: going to be. But I get to choose what attitude

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: I wear, and I can choose to reset it if

34
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: I got it wrong up to this point today or

35
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: this week, or.

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: This month, or this year or my whole life.

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: I get to choose to put on the new creation,

38
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: because this is what I got to make sure you understand.

39
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: I was created to be more like God, not to

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: be God. I don't believe that some people believe that

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: we are God. I don't believe that we are God.

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: I do believe that we are given the ability to

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: choose to be more like Him and that He'll help

44
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: us to do it as we choose it. Now to

45
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: understand Ephesians four, I think we should read Ephesians one,

46
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: verse four. Can we do that Ephesians verse four is

47
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: what gives weight to Ephesians four when he says you

48
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: were created.

49
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: When he says the new you.

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: Was created, You're like, wait, then, if it was created

51
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: in past tense, how is it new. No, it's new

52
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: to you. It's not new to God. He's familiar with

53
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: that you. He sees that you. He knows that you.

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 2: It's the true you. It's the one that's trying to speak,

55
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: but there's too much noise. It's the one that's trying

56
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: to come forth, but there's too much blockage of shame.

57
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: It's the one that is buried beneath that habits.

58
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: God sees that you. He knows that you. He made

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: that you, He knit that you together.

60
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: Because in Ephesians one, verse four, it says He chose

61
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: us in him, that's Christ, before the creation of the world,

62
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: to be holy and blameless in his sight. Did you

63
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: see that word He chose, go back, He chose. That's

64
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: how it started. God chose you.

65
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: That's right. Your unique atomic construction.

66
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: Was the handiwork of the author of time and space

67
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: and galaxies. That God, who architected the caterpillar to become

68
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: a butterfly, has created you for good works, has created

69
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: you for a special purpose, has predestined you by his love,

70
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: has adopted you as a son or a daughter, brought

71
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: you into his family. Isn't that good news? That God

72
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 2: chooses you? So it means five foot six was supposed

73
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: to be five foot six.

74
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: It means that.

75
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: Beneath whatever you don't like about yourself physically radiates a

76
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: spirit that is uncontaminated by comparison to others.

77
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: God chose you. I wish I had been born in

78
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds. That would have been cool. You weren't.

79
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: Weren't supposed to be. You're supposed to be born now.

80
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: I wish I could have lived at a simpler time.

81
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: I wish I could have walked the earth with Jesus.

82
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: You can't. You're walking now.

83
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: Another scripture said that He appointed the times and places

84
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: where men should live, And so he has called you

85
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: to this time. He has called you to your family,

86
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: He has called you to your disposition. He has called

87
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: you to make the best of your personality. That's all

88
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: part of His purpose. And we're exploring right now in

89
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: our teaching in the church, as well as a book

90
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: that I'm putting together as we speak.

91
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: What it means to do the new you.

92
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: But I think it has to start with the fact

93
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: that you know that you're chosen. Just like Peter was

94
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: chosen even though he would go on to curse and

95
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 2: deny that he knew Christ. You were chosen even though

96
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: you cuss and do some other bad stuff. And this

97
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: is not permission to continue with bad habits, but it

98
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: gives you power to overcome them by knowing that God

99
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: knew them and that he chooses you anyway. Get this,

100
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: deep down, God chose you. God has options. God can

101
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: call anybody he wants. God can use anybody that he wants.

102
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: God chose you, like I chose this deer park water

103
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: and you're like, yeah, but you said you don't like

104
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: the waters.

105
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: I mean, God doesn't like me. The analogy breaks down.

106
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: Stay with me.

107
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: All I'm saying about it is God could have gone

108
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: and gotten any pot that he wanted, any vessel that

109
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: he wanted, And the Bible says, man, I feel annoyed

110
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: in teaching this that you are a chosen vessel. Yeah

111
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: you are. You're a chosen vessel. If you feel stubby,

112
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: you're a chosen vessel. Even if you feel like you

113
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: got a broken handle. Leonard Cohen, the great poet, said,

114
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: there's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

115
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering.

116
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: There's a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in.

117
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: That's where God's grace, as Paul says, elsewhere the glory

118
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: of God shines through.

119
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where God does. His best word is.

120
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: The healing oil that comes from even a broken vessel.

121
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: And then He reforms you and he reshapes you.

122
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: And you're so obsessed with the container man, you're thinking

123
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: about things that God's He's right through. I'm all for

124
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: improving your physical appearance. I'm all for improving your financial status.

125
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: I'm all for improving your skill set. But beneath all

126
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: of that, to make that grow in a healthy way

127
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 2: so it doesn't get out of balance.

128
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: You got to know God chose you.

129
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: God chose you, He knows you, he loves you, he's

130
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: with you, he's for.

131
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: You, he's not against you.

132
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm speaking to somebody today who needs to know you're chosen. Yeah,

133
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: but I you're chosen. Yeah but I you're chosen. Yeah,

134
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: but they you're chosen. I don't care about that. I

135
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: care about him. You're chosen. Yeah, but it I don't

136
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: care about it. You're chosen. God's sovereignty supersedes every situation.

137
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: God's sovereignty supersedes every human limitation.

138
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: You are chosen for the creation of the world.

139
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: Wait, that means if he chose me before the creation

140
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: of the world, he chose me before I messed up.

141
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: That means he chose me before I got a divorce.

142
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: That means he chose me before I had all these

143
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: sexual relationships. That means he chose me before I started

144
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: this horrible thing, this addiction. That means he chose me

145
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: before I made that mistake. That means he chose me

146
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: before I was abused by that person. That means he

147
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: chose me before I made the decision to trust him.

148
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: That means he chose me before I blew that opportunity. Yeah,

149
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: he chose you before the foundation of the earth, So

150
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: that means he can use you right now.

151
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: Glory to God. I'm chosen, And look at this. He

152
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: chose me.

153
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 2: And then now that you've seen Ephesians one four, you're

154
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: starting to understand why I called this teaching. God chose you,

155
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: will you because by the time Paul is getting to

156
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: the practical stuff in Ephesians four, five and six, he's like,

157
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: wait a minute, there's still the old way of thinking

158
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: that's not really you, but that you're used to, that's

159
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: going to call you act put off.

160
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: The old self.

161
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: That's corrupted by sin and its deceitful desires, just trying

162
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: to trick you into thinking that you're something other than

163
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: God's kid. That's trying to trick you into thinking that

164
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: you need something other than Jesus to complete you. That's

165
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: trying to trick you into giving into lesser things to

166
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: create a stop gap for the deep needs that only

167
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: God can fulfill. Put that off, put it away, and

Speaker 2: sorry that I was sharp about that thing last night

174

177
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: wrong rather than just trying to bear down and be right.

Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, yeah, that's it right there, that's me

179
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: choosing Watch this verse twenty three Ephesians for stay with me,

180
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: because I know, I know, I'm covering a whole book

181
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: of the Bible in just about twenty minutes. But he said,

182
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: to be made new in the attitude of your mind,

183
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: and to put on the new self created to be

184
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: like God. Now you are created to be like God

185
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: in true righteousness and holiness. But you have to reach

186
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: for it moment by moment. I don't mean reach for

187
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: it that you have to strive for it. I mean

188
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: you reach for it like you're receiving a gift from God.

189
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: So in this moment, what do you need to reach

190
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: for and receive? And in order to do that, what

191
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: do you need to release and let go of? God

192
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: chose you, So you got to let go of all

193
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: the reasons why he shouldn't have, all of the excuses

194
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: that you make why he can't Moses get in. These

195
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: are Bible characters that they were holding so tightly to

196
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: their excuses that they almost struggled to receive God's empowerment.

197
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: And you do that sometimes I don't have the time,

198
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: I don't have the money. I don't have the skills,

199
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: I don't have the intelligence, I don't have the background.

200
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: Release that and reach for what God has given. You.

201
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Choose to believe who God says you are.

202
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: I choose to believe that Jesus Christ has made me righteous.

203
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: I choose to believe that the Holy Spirit lives within me.

204
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: I choose to walk in it. I choose to flow

205
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: in it. I choose to turn the other cheek in

206
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: this situation. I choose to walk by that offense. I

207
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: choose to forgive. I choose to speak life. I choose

208
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: to go forward. God chose you, will You choose you

209
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: the true you, like I chose my workout clothes, like

210
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: I chose the bottle of water. Hey, don't get me wrong,

211
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: I choose the stained shirts sometimes too. I choose the

212
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: horrible attitude Sometimes too. I choose the gossip, which feels

213
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: so good going down, but makes me sick once I

214
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: start feeling it burned the pit of my stomach. When

215
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: I ruin relationships because I talk bad about people behind

216
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: their back, so then I can't interact with them well

217
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: to their face.

218
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: And I'm coming to realize that's not the me I

219
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: want to be at all. I don't want to be

220
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: that me.

221
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to be a backbiting me, a petty me.

222
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I want to be a bigger me.

223
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: Like not only physically through exercise, but I want to

224
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: be a bigger me in my spirit. I want to

225
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: be big enough to look at somebody and see that

226
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: they have pain, they have feelings, they have reasons, they

227
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: have dreams, they have goals. I want to see people

228
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: not just like trees, like the blind man who had

229
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: his eyes opened by Jesus saw at first. I want

230
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: to see people as people. I want to see the

231
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: gifts in my kids, not just the not just the

232
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: little things that trip me up in their everyday behavior.

233
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: I want to see I want to see their intention.

234
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: I want to.

235
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: See the seeds of what God has put in them.

236
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: I want to see not only the real me, I

237
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: want to see the real them. I want God to

238
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: show me that. I need eyes to see. I want

239
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: to see what God sees and I want to be that.

240
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: But I have to.

241
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: Choose it, no different than choosing what I drink. I

242
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: really want to die coke and I'm gonna drink a

243
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: die coke. It's just an analogy people. No different than

244
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: I choose to get a few more reps when I'm

245
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: working out, No different than I choose to let something go.

246
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Always have to have my way.

247
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: It starts from knowing that God chose me just as

248
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: I am, without one plea, but that his blood was

249
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: shed for me. God chose me, He saved me, he

250
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: loves me.

251
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: He's for me, He's with me. God chose you. Will you?

252
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: Will you choose not to abandon yourself to the addiction

253
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: not today. Will you choose to reach out to somebody

254
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,239
Speaker 2: that you love today rather.

255
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Than just isolating and staying in your head?

256
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: Will you choose to move forward that one simple thing,

257
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: on that big dream that you have today? God chose you,

258
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: will you? Sometimes we choose our past over our future.

259
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes we choose distraction over being present. God doesn't need

260
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: to be convinced to choose you. You can't find many people

261
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: in the Bible that.

262
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: God took a vote about.

263
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: Y'all think I should use Moses angels, y'all think I

264
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: should use Gideon.

265
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: Y'all think I should use Peter.

266
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: Even when he wanted to use Judas, he chose to

267
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: use him, But Judas hanged himself.

268
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: He chose that. He chose to.

269
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: Give up, and God never gives up on you. Maybe

270
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: you're in a place where you want to give up

271
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: on yourself right now. Maybe you want to give up

272
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: on ever being free. Maybe you want to give up

273
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: on maturity. Maybe you want to give up on discipline.

274
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: Maybe you want to give up on becoming more balanced.

275
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: Maybe you want to give up on coming out of

276
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: this condition. Maybe you want to give up on receiving healing.

277
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: If God won't give up on you, you don't get too.

278
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: If Jesus went all the way to the cross for

279
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: you and endured the cross, despising it shame and sat

280
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: down at the right hand of God, you must endure also.

281
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: It may take a little long, it may hurt a little,

282
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: it may hurt a lot. But the God who chooses

283
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: you is asking you to choose today, he said, I

284
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: said before you life and death, choose life.

285
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,439
