1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very special broadcast. Why

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: don't you think about yourself right now here? You are

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: watching this on New Year's Eve. That's when we're filming.

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: This might be played at another time. I never know,

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: because a really good broadcast gets played a lot. But

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: it was recorded for New Year's Eve. And you're asking yourself,

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: why are you doing this on New Year's Eve? You're

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: sitting there looking for something to do. I'll tell you

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: it's by divine appointment that you're doing this right now.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: You're here because my wife is here and my son

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: is here. And I asked my son to pick providentially,

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: what shall we talk about that could be the most

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: important thing to share on New Year's Eve? And he

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: picked out of this next level living thirty Day. I

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: very seldom do these booklets. I'm starting to do them now.

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Thirty days, one key Thought, A day that can change

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: your life. Day seven. We're going to start there, Carl

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: p He's randomly, but he went through and I trust

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: his judgments. Prophetic instincts are impeccable. Would you please read

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: the first two paragraphs.

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: At least it wasn't like the old days with Bible roulette.

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: Prophetic Bible, fondling, and then there's a proptic book.

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: Fond book, fund book. Myself, I would reach by think

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: we shop the shelf, any book. You tell me to stop,

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: and I won't even see what I'm doing. Then I

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: pull the book and then you pick a number and

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: I go to that page. And it always had significant,

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: it was edifying.

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 2: Most of the time it.

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Didn't we edited it and didn't use it.

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: That's right.

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: We just nine times out of ten it was profound.

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: All It's so funny that you have me reading this

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: one today because it said chosen by God. You are

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: chosen by God. You did not choose me, but I

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: chose you that you should bring forth fruit and that

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: your fruit should remain. Now see that's John fifteen sixteen,

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: and that is a scripture. I was born. I got

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: born again on when you did Bible roulette because you said, actually,

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: I guess I did it because you said open the Bible,

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: and God was That's what I was.

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: When I was leaving on about the Lord said open

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: the Bible, just randomly open it up, and she opened

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: it up to that verse.

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: I read that one because the spirit of truth went

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: into me, went right into me. I know everyone doesn't

47
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: feel something when they get born again, but.

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: Don't you love it when God does stuff?

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: In that moment, it was kind of extreme. So then

50
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 2: you said, what did you say?

51
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 3: What did God say?

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: We were really young, you know, And then I said, well,

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: it said I didn't choose him, He chose me. And

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: you know what, Lance opened this whole, big fat Bible

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: was much fatter Bible than this that day. I think

56
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: it was more like a Bible bigger than James Bible

57
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: was a big fat one and he opened right up

58
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: to the page.

59
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, a lot more like this.

60
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was that one.

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: And I knew and I went and so imagine if

62
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: you're new, brand new the Bible and someone goes, oh,

63
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: you mean that sentence and you know exactly where a

64
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: sentence is, and like Warren b.

65
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: So it was so so amazing to me and it

66
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: was so anointed, and I got born again that day.

67
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: That verse is your verse and it's our verse because

68
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: lad I never really did propose. So we got it

69
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: inscribed my eyes slow.

70
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: Sidew wife, bring my private life public. This is why

71
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: it said I don't have the family on every broadcast

72
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: because you never know. People love to hear this stuff late.

73
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: So Annabel's pointing out that I never proposed to her.

74
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Now get out of my dad.

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: Did you marry me?

76
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: And I talked to your father.

77
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: I asked him right, But then you know what, I

78
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: skipped you.

79
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: But I went to your old man. I talked to him.

80
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: We had a discussion, and we were getting married.

81
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: Anyway, We went out for three years. It was time land, Well,

82
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: tell the ring.

83
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Tell the ring.

84
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: Your mother didn't like naked fingers.

85
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: My mother.

86
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Every time Annabel came to my house, my mother would

87
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: grab her hand and she'd examine her hand looking for

88
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: a ring. Said, Mom, what do you doing? You know

89
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: what I see? Naked fingers? She was petting a ring

90
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: on the finger. Put a ring on it, my mom.

91
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: So the wedding band is inscribed incursive inside John fifteen sixteen.

92
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: You did not choose me, but I chose you.

93
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Side our wedding rings beautiful.

94
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: It's beautiful to me. I was going to take mine

95
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: off to show you, but of course my ring will

96
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: not come off my finger right now. The last took

97
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: his off the show Carl. Anyway, that's what we're talking about.

98
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: On day seven and God chose you and pursued you,

99
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: and you would not be be a believer today if

100
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: God wasn't choosing you.

101
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: I did eventually propose to my wife.

102
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: I wait to hear this later.

103
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: I was on a sick bed of afflic ship after

104
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: three children. Later, as all Roberts would say, after our

105
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: three children, I said, in the hospital having a hernia repair.

106
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: It was a hernia repair, but it was traumatic to me.

107
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: I said, should I not come out of this, darling?

108
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't want the children to ever suspect that I

109
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: never proposed to you. Would you marry me? He said, yes,

110
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: I would marry you. And then I went boldly into

111
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: the surgical procedure in the hernia.

112
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: Succeeded very well.

113
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: It came right out immediately.

114
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can say, as you were

115
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: on your sick bed telling your wife that you're afraid

116
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: that they children might find out, and then after that

117
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: I boldly went into surgery. It's like, it's not that bold,

118
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: all right, No.

119
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't not. He made it out. I'm trying to

120
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: tell the story in a way it will be memorable.

121
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: I hate to tell you what happened next, tell them

122
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: what happened out the window.

123
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: So anyway, so I'm I'm coming out of the anesthesia,

124
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: right and her dad it's her dad's hospital, and it

125
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: was great. Your dad checked in on me, which is

126
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: really great.

127
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: And he's one who said you should stay over because

128
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: it was you being the patient.

129
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: It's the one because I was waiting, not going to

130
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: have gone home, but he's sailling you stay over. I thought,

131
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I feel better knock if I stayed over. You know,

132
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: it's a pretty traumatic thing. He said, yes, the hernia,

133
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: I can see that. So anyway, so I'm there in

134
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: the bed and I'm coming out of the anesthesia, and

135
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: I hear all this laughter. I thought this is inappropriate.

136
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Here I am coming out of my surgery, and I

137
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: look through my blurry eyes, I see the doctors and

138
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: the nurses all howling with laughter, and your family and

139
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: my family. None of them are paying attention to me.

140
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: And they're all looking out the window and laughing at

141
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: something in the parking lot at a hospital. And so

142
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: I said what they were all, he's out. They came over.

143
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: They said, they stayed over at the window, still looking.

144
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: Here's what was going on. There was a guy who

145
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: evidently was in a real uh. He was in our

146
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: hurry and he gets out of his car at the hospital,

147
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: but forgot to turn the car off. Out of the car, huh,

148
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: he did put it in park, He didn't put in park.

149
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: So the car kept on going and he went to

150
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: run over to the car to try to jump in

151
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: there to stop it, but he ran himself over. But

152
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: he ran himself over twice trying to stop the car.

153
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: He ended up getting checked into the hospital and they

154
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: asked what he was there for in the emergency room,

155
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: and he said, I was run over. Did you catch

156
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: the guy that there was no one in the car? Well,

157
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: how could there be noticed that it was my car?

158
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: And they were laughing and he was accusing them of

159
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: being unprofessional. Anyway, So the car was going in big circles,

160
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: running out of and the police were there with police,

161
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, with the lights going because they had to

162
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: make sure that the car. Thank god, the car didn't

163
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: run into somebody. It was he had pulled the wheel

164
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: to get in, and so the car was going because

165
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: they had to keep the car going till it ran

166
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: out of gas. It was so funny though, and that

167
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: was why they were all up. But it was I'm

168
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: sorry that you had to hear that story here.

169
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: It's good to laugh.

170
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: Okay, New Year hopefully Knew Year news stories.

171
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: Carl, would you please read the second paragraph so they

172
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: can make progress on this?

173
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: What does the Lord require simply this choose to respond

174
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: to his grace?

175
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: You say, no, no, no, no, the second paragraph.

176
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: I've only read the first sentence, so you get to

177
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: read after that.

178
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: When I've never even met it to the first paragraph.

179
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: I did you did?

180
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: You? Did?

181
00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: Did you say?

182
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I know the plan I have for you? So the Lord?

183
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: I said the sentence before that God was choosing you

184
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: and pursued you, or you would not be a believer today.

185
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: That's where I stopped.

186
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: And then so finish the second paragraph then, okay me,

187
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: then Carl will take it to the third.

188
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: Yes, God set you up to find him, and now

189
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: that you are his, you need to know that He

190
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 2: has a purpose and a plan for you. The Bible says,

191
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: I know the plans I have for you, says the

192
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: Lord plans not to harm you, plans to give you

193
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: a hope and a future. From Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven,

194
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: I know the plan like this, I know the plans

195
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 2: that I have for you. It's interesting that God has

196
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: plans for your life.

197
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: So all right, Carl, now this is where you were going.

198
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: Let's let's go there.

199
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: What does the Lord require Simply this, choose to respond

200
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: to his grace. You set your sales each day, and

201
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: God will send the wind of his grace to fill

202
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: those sales and direct you seeking first the Kingdom of

203
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: God is, in reality, choosing to please Him in all

204
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: that you do.

205
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: The majority of my warfare in life has come from

206
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: choices that weren't in line with God's plan. Just think

207
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: about that. God has a plan. So if you stick

208
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: with the plan, then you're in the plan of war.

209
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: But if you go off on your own, you're kind

210
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: of like Kevin. God got to deliver you out of

211
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: situations and get yourself into the majority of my warfare

212
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: I wrote here is from choices that I made. Yet

213
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: I've learned. I've made a choice to submit my life

214
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: to the word of God and wise counsel from those

215
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: God gave me one day at a time, one choice

216
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: at a time, one decision at a time, I choose

217
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: that which aligns with His choice for me, and the result, well,

218
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: everything starts to work together for the good of the assignment, everything,

219
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: including places where I missed it. God has power to

220
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: work it all out for his purpose and for your blessing.

221
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: Every day. The burden gets lighter when I walk and

222
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: agreeing with His plan and his word. And you know

223
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: what the this came from was teaching from Joyce Myers, actually,

224
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: and she said, you could be in prison right now.

225
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: You could be in jail and people write to me

226
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: letters and they say, well what do I do? And

227
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: I send them my books and stuff. She said, all

228
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: you got to do is the next decision, she said,

229
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: because all life is is a series of choices. Just

230
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: make sure that the next thing you choose to do

231
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: is in line with what God says. And if you

232
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: keep on making choices to do what lines up with

233
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: what God says, you're walking in this. And when you're

234
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: walking in this, you're going to walk your way right

235
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: out of every situation you're in. So the next choice

236
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: you make make in line with the word. Make that

237
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: next choice in line with what God says. And I

238
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: think that was working in the back of my mind,

239
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: because you know, if these came out of the staff

240
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: very kindly just went to Facebook posts that I did

241
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: for years, and because I used to type and write

242
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: more than I did videos. When videos came around, I

243
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: stopped writing. But they went and grabbed them a lot

244
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: of the archives because people said, hey, he wrote great stuff.

245
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: He used to write what does any rite? And that's

246
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: where these came from. But chosen by God means that

247
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: every day you have a choice to get into the

248
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: plan that God has for your life. And God actually

249
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: has a plan, and you didn't choose him, but he

250
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: chose you. Therefore you're authorized to do whatever you're called

251
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: to do. You are authorized. You didn't choose yourself, so

252
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: don't disqualify yourself, forget about self consciousness. God chose you,

253
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: therefore you're able to do it. We'll be right back.

254
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: So here you are with us at New Year's Eve.

255
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: This is kind of exciting. Actually this is New Year's Eve,

256
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: but it's also I think we're doing this for rav

257
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: real America's voice, so there's multiple uses of this progress.

258
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: This is my wife, by the way, my son Carl,

259
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: and lose my wife and a well am my son Carl.

260
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: There you go. It's up America, real America's voice right here.

261
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: This is the real America, just your ordinary typical family.

262
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Courage to be different is a guide that It's on

263
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: page twenty four, day ten. And Carl, this sounds like

264
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: you right here. Read the first paragraph. Will you about

265
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: have the courage.

266
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: All right, courage to be different? Have the courage to

267
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: be different. Be true to what resonates in your spirit.

268
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 3: Don't let others stifle or edit the song you are

269
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: called the sing. Keep going all right, for there are

270
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 3: many voices contending in your ear to go this way

271
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 3: or go that way. But I, the Sovereign Lord, will

272
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: reveal the path you are to take. As you come

273
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: into the light of my presence, you will become a

274
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: clear picture.

275
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: I want to say this to you because this I

276
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: wrote this in the spirit, and it was a prophecy,

277
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: and I'm just realizing now this is a prophetic word.

278
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: In the past, you were distressed by those who didn't stay.

279
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: In other words, people that you look around and they

280
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: weren't with you. They thought if they be with you,

281
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: and they aren't with you. But now you'll be surprised

282
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: at who shows up. They are helpers in your harvest.

283
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: Stay true to the heavenly vision of what I gave you.

284
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: And though it's tarried, it now comes to you in

285
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: waves and stages according to your capacity to steward the increase.

286
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot packed into those words right there.

287
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: And here's what's coming back to my spirit as I'm

288
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: rereading what was written a decade ago, and I'd be

289
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: in presence of prophetic activists like Kim Clement and others,

290
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: and the residuer that would get on you, and I

291
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: remember writing these posts at night. But here's something. The

292
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: idea here is that you might feel like there are

293
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: people that you know you have this grief if they're

294
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: no longer there, but you'd be surprised at the people

295
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: who show up, and there are helpers in your harvest.

296
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: Stay true to the vision that God gave you, and

297
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: even though it's terry, you'll find that there's phases and

298
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: stages to what God has giving you. But the secret

299
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: is to steward the increase. Miles Monroe said something years ago.

300
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: It comes back to me often as a real rebuke

301
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: when I start to complain about anything I was just doing,

302
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: about the little closet room I got back there. That's

303
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: all chaotic. It's God because we have a studio here

304
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: and back there, I've got nobody really organizes that room.

305
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: We may have people come in and clean the studio,

306
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: but that room nobody touches. I realize nobody's in there

307
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: but me, and it just looks chaotic because I'm running

308
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: in and out doing shows all the time. And Annabel

309
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: was back there, wonderful wife that I've got, organizing it

310
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,479
Speaker 1: like to help me. She's fixing it up and organizing

311
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: shirts together. Look like she said, it doesn't have to

312
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: look like this. And in that moment, the word came

313
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: back to me from Miles Monroe, and it's basically this

314
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: prophecy Adam is called to be the manager of the garden.

315
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: And if you don't like the harvest, take a look

316
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: at the farmer. If you don't like the garden, take

317
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: a look at who's in charge of it. Is this?

318
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we live in a generation which is expert

319
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: and blaming the government, expecting someone else to solve a

320
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: problem that actually God called you to solve. So you're

321
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: the steward of the garden and you're the one that

322
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: has to ask the steward has to fix up your

323
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: own closet. What are you smiling for there, Carl, what

324
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: are you thinking?

325
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: Well, It's just a number of different things, the main

326
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: one being that you know, we're talking about blaming others

327
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: and not accepting responsibility and having the ability to respond

328
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: to a situation in an area that's cluttered where you're

329
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: the only one who's in there. So I'm laughing at

330
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: you know, just kind of the conversation.

331
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and you're laughing appropriately because I'm making that point,

332
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: making it consciously that it's my room and I created

333
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: the chaos. And if you own the fact that it's

334
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: not somebody else, it's supposed to be responsible to steward

335
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: your garden. God will give you more according to your

336
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,359
Speaker 1: capacity to store the increase. So if you're not investing

337
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: in yourself, if you're not, it's like, I really am

338
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: concerned with the number of people that I know that

339
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: are gaming all the time. Well, unless you're learning something

340
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: by gaming, you're just entertaining yourself to death. The other

341
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: people are actually reading somebody to say to me, Hey,

342
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: I want to be able to do what you do.

343
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: I want to be able to have expertise in certain areas.

344
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: I said, well, it's not that hard, it's just not easy.

345
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: He said, what do you mean as well? It's not complex.

346
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: All you got to do is, you know, you got

347
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: plenty of free time in a week. You don't watch

348
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: TV and don't get it on the internet. We'll just

349
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: read a book. If you read a book every week

350
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: on a subject, at the end of the year, you

351
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: would have fifty books on a subject. At the end

352
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: of two years, you'd have one hundred. I'd say that

353
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: between year two and year three, between year one hundred

354
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: and one hundred and fiftieth expert book that you read,

355
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: you're ready to do a podcast that's compelling, interesting and

356
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: has depth. And so you're only two years away from

357
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: being an expert on a subject that interesting, whether it's

358
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency or manga art or whatever it is. But notice

359
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: not everybody will sit down and read a book a

360
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: week plus.

361
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: Notice that where there's much increase, the oxtall is a mess.

362
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: So for all you creatives out there, you know what,

363
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 2: don't be afraid to make a mess. Just clean it up.

364
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 3: Clean it up when you're done.

365
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: Get my house. I got lots of little good piles.

366
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: Of good intentions if I get to them eventually, But

367
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: you know what, there's a lot going on in that

368
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: little house.

369
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: Sorry for interrupting it. Just it seems like we're getting

370
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: ahead of ourselves a day.

371
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: Fifteen, Oh, we're getting ahead to pruning and day fifteen,

372
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: all right, let's go through. This is really a word

373
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: that speaks to being true to who you are and

374
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: your calling. Once again, I want you to do this

375
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: once you go to next level living this thirty devotional

376
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: and just go to Lancewalla dot com forward slash New

377
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Year and get the supernatural force of favor. And by

378
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: the way people say how much it's your gift of

379
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: any amount, that's our generosity is we just want to

380
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: get the material out to you. If you want to

381
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: orchestrate Heaven's symphony, you have to be willing to turn

382
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: your back on the earth. Actually that was miswritten. What

383
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: I meant to say was if you're going to conduct

384
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: the orchestra, you have to turn your back on the crowd.

385
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: Ooh, that comes a little later.

386
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: That's a very big Sometimes God puts his people into

387
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: a thing called isolation processing. It's a place where you

388
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: go into your own wilderness so you can find God's

389
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: voice and find your own voice. You can experience this

390
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: isolation while still surrounded by people. Isolation processing this language

391
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: from Bobby Clinton and his work on convergence or leadership

392
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: emergence theory. The unique study of Clinton is what are

393
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: the characteristics of individuals that actually live to fulfill the

394
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: prophetic call that is on their life or the call

395
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: that God has for them. At the end of their life,

396
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: they look back and they did the thing they were

397
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: called to do, and they feel as so they accomplished it.

398
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: Very few people do that. I mean that most generous

399
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: statistic will be twenty percent of ministries, So I mean's

400
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: eighty percent don't have that sense of satisfaction. And he

401
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: said one of the chapters that you go through in

402
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: the process, and Carl, what is process look like five fingers.

403
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 3: Five fingers death punch, just kidding, five fingers up. Process

404
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: is what happens in root to the high point. So

405
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: people see these high points up here and we think

406
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: that we're just going to be able to gondola our

407
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: way up inaccurate. What we need to do is we

408
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: need to trust the process. Process, process, don't rush process.

409
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 3: We need to trust the process.

410
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: Trust the process. And we say so when you're in,

411
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: when you're Joseph and you're you're doing your two year

412
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: stint in your final phase of the process, before your promotion.

413
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: You're in the oven. God's cooking something. He's putting the

414
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: glaze on the vase, and you feel like something's wrong

415
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: because the heat's there. And then you come out of

416
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: the heat and you get put on the shelf to

417
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: cool down, and meanwhile you're sitting on you feel like

418
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: you've been shelved and you're ready to go. Why isn't

419
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: God opening the door for you? This is a part

420
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: of what we call isolation processing. It's a place where

421
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: you feel as though you're overlooked, you're underappreciated, something the

422
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: parade is passing you by. But during that period of isolation,

423
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: God is his According to what I wrote here, that's

424
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: where you really hear God's voice in a unique way.

425
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's where were the place where

426
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: you discover your own voice. You come out of the wilderness.

427
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: Every great thing of God comes out of a wilderness.

428
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: Churchill came out of what's called the wilderness years between

429
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: World War One and World War Two. He fought depression.

430
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: He thought his career was over. He had made mistakes

431
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: as a young man politically and militarily. But the country

432
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: came to him because he found his voice, his maturity,

433
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: and his suffering process. Teddy Roosevelt too.

434
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, he spent time in the wilderness then came

435
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 3: out basically a fully formed president.

436
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Oh my goodness, we only have

437
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: one minute left. It takes courage to believe in your music,

438
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: the symphony you hear, to be faithful to write it

439
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: out accurately so that others can hear it. When you're

440
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: true to the thing that you alone are created to do,

441
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: you tap into an inner strength, a gut certainty that

442
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: you're doing the right thing, even when nobody around you

443
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: fully understands it. This state of being is the most

444
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: powerful in the world. It's an aspect of God speaking

445
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: out through the design you're exhibiting. Remember this, you are

446
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: designed for purpose and you're driven by passion. If driven

447
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: by purpose without passion, your work is mediocre, and the

448
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: word mediocre in Latin means halfway up the mountain. If

449
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: driven by passion without purpose, you're simply a hedonist, just

450
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: absorbing everything that's happening but giving nothing back. But if

451
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: you're driven by both purpose and passion, you're a creative

452
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with in a universe that's waiting

453
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: to cooperate with what God put inside of you. That's

454
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: such interesting language, right, And I'm so thankful to you

455

Speaker 1: guys for pulling this out of the archives, because the

Speaker 1: son Carl, you're ready to start calling this twenty twenty five.

468
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: Oh I'm ready to manifest.

469
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: Me too, do it all right?

470
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: So we have something special for you. We are going

471
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: to be talking about the Force of Favor, which is

472
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 1: a supernatural spiritual force that comes into your life that

473
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: produces an attraction factor that actually causes you two begin

474
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: to conceive the purposes of God in a fresh way

475
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: that actually aligned with what God wants to do through you.

476
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: I always say favor is about assignments more than it's

477
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: about charisma or personal promotion. No one in the Bible

478
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: ever had favor given to them unless they had an

479
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: assignment that went with it. So what you're really are

480
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: asking for is an assignment from God. And one of

481
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: the powers of being prepared for an assignment is this

482
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: next level living. You're thirty day devotional to taking your mountain,

Speaker 3: We're on plan to work, work the plan.

506
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: Day fifteen, on this great New Year's period of time

507
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: beginning of the twenty twenty.

508
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: Five My favorite cal You picked this.

509
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 1: One with it? Yep, And I like the challenge here,

510
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: so why don't you go ahead and start with it?

511
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: Got it?

512
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, made a good choice on this one new year,

513
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: knew me. What does that mean for a lot of us.

514
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 3: It means we're going to be trying to have new habits,

515
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 3: new tactics to approaching different things. But also what it

516
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: means is that we need to get rid of the

517
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: things that might be holding us back. What got you

518
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 3: here won't get you there. So that brings us to

519
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 3: day fifteen. Pruning. Pruning makes you feel like you lost

520
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: something valuable. The truth is that pruning empowers you for

521
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 3: increase you would had never had without cutting something off.

522
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 3: You know that verse from Romans twelve, Verse twelve. Be

523
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 3: not conformed to the world, but be transformed by the

524
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: renewing of your mind. Conforming is pressure from the world

525
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: forming you from the outside in. Transformation, however, is pressure

526
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: forming you through the word from the inside out.

527
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, Air, Annabelle, why don't you read the next part? Carl?

528
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: What if there are comments, by the way on this,

529
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think about that?

530
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: I think it's it's hard. Pruning is tough, man. I've

531
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 2: been pruning my house because you know, sometimes you really

532
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: have too much of everything. And that's me. I have

533
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: too much of everything. So and then you put it

534
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: out and then you go, you go to give it away.

535
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: Go I think I'm gonna keep this, you put this,

536
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take this back, give that away. But I

537
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: really did give away a lot, and I know that

538
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: it's important. It's just not over. I can't do it

539
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: as quickly as some people.

540
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: Joy.

541
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: Our daughter is so good at pruning. She used to

542
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 2: set out a bag after bag out of her bedroom

543
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: all growing up. I go give me that bag because

544
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: there's so much good stuff in it. Not that we

545
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: keep it, but I would redirect it to other people

546
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: and never throw it away.

547
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, she just said, take care of it.

548
00:26:59,400 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: Get it out of it.

549
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: My wife goes by. We went to church the other

550
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: week and we went by a chandel layer on the driveway. Look,

551
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: curbside acquisitions are And I said, well, no, because we

552
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: were running late for church. She goes I just want

553
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: to pull over that. No, we'll get out of the

554
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: way home.

555
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: I know it wasn't going to be for me. It's

556
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: just that it looked perfectly good and somebody got it

557
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: because it was gone when we came back. But sometimes

558
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: some of the most beautiful things are on the curb

559
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: and that's fine. Look, you know, furnishing families. We give

560
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: away all kinds of furnishings, and the beautiful thing is

561
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 2: that we repurpose or upcycle. So many people don't have

562
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: anything or don't have what they need, and we help

563
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: them get it functioning, flourishing home.

564
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Well, honey, on that note, why don't you go ahead

565
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: and give us Conforming is pressure.

566
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 2: Conforming is pressure from the world forming you from the

567
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: outside in, and transformation is pressure forming you through the

568
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: word from the inside out. And that's a really process.

569
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 2: That's a huge process event right there. But what if

570
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: there are areas we've been conformed into and didn't even

571
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: know it. Fear too much the opinion of man need

572
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: to look like a success. Remember that time, Remember that

573
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: time you were driving over to that new client and

574
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: we had a clunkmobile and you had to park a

575
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: few blocks away in case he saw what you were drying.

576
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, I get it sounded like this one time.

577
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: Oh it was just so funny.

578
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: Thoughason, Well that was yeah, that was after after we

579
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: moved Rhode Island. Yeah, but I mean, it's just funny. Sometimes.

580
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: I had a great car, had century and the transmission

581
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: went out, and the transmission goes out on it, and

582
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: it was a really cool car, but it was going

583
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: to cost me two thy five hundred dollars in order.

584
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: I went to work, not in the oil business anymore

585
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: making all that money. I'm working on staff at a

586
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: local church for twenty five thousand a year. And what

587
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: did your dad tell the end of the week. And

588
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: my dad told me before I left his company, oil company,

589
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: he said, you're going to be a church mouse. He

590
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: was just putting a curse on.

591
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: What was the other thing he said about rubbing two

592
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: uh piece was Pharaoh?

593
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: He didn't Yeah, you know, you'll be making bricks without straw.

594
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: He would said biblical quotes like word curses. I was

595
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: probably from I had to break the Masonic valves off

596
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: of it. He had old Testament in them from the Masons,

597
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: I think. But it was tough man. So anyway, I

598
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to tell him about my transmission. My car

599
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: went out and I couldn't fix it because it's two thousand,

600
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. On top of two thousand dollars I

601
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: needed for tax, which is amazing. Back then, you make

602
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand, you owe two to the government. So

603
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: I was tithing and giving, and we were a young couple.

604
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: It was very tough. Anyway, I'm in ministry believing God's

605
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: going to provide. I'm practicing everything that we practice and

606
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: preach now. But I can remember the the without my car.

607
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have a car, and a guy named Paul

608
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: de Chico in my church. He had a rambler that

609
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: he gave me for one dollar that would get me

610
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: by till the car came that I needed I'll never forget.

611
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: He was coming down the altar. I said, I'm believing

612
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: God for a car. And then he's walking up and

613
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: he feels like God told him give me his car

614
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: for a dollar. I said, I'm believing for a new car.

615
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: And then he turned around and went back. I said, Paul,

616
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: where are you going? Because well, I got a car,

617
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: but it's not new.

618
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: I go, I'm gonna take what I can get and

619
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 4: believe for the increase.

620
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: So he gave me. I needed a vehicle. So I'm

621
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: driving Paul's car and had a hole this big as

622
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: to the accelerator, so when it rained, all the water

623
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: cad through the floor and my feet got wet. So anyway,

624
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: I still I could. I got to deal with the church.

625
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: I said, I gotta, do you mind if I consult

626
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: in my free time because I used to do consulting,

627
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: And they said yeah, okay, And so I picked up

628
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: a client in Providence was a chiropractor, and he wanted

629
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: me to come in and do some consulting with him.

630
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: But I deliberately realize I can't pull up outside the

631
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: guy's you know, practice driving like Jed Clampett, or he's

632
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm not. I'm not really a serious consultant.

633
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: So I parked blocks away, as my wife is reminding me. Now,

634
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: but here's the funny thing. I wouldn't tell my dad.

635
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: My dad calls me up and he said, how you doing, son? Oh?

636
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: Good dad? Yeah, how's the car?

637
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

638
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: You know, I have a few problems with it. What

639
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: do you mean on a transmission? How much it going

640
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: to cost? Twenty five? Well, you're driving it not right now.

641
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: I got another car. I'm driving another car. Where that

642
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: come from? Well, somebody let me loan loan me watch,

643
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: so they gave me their car. He goes, oh, I

644
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: was generous. I go, uh well, I wanted to change

645
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: the subjects. I didn't wanted to know. You know, I

646
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: couldn't afford to fix my car, and I'm driving a

647
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: clunk with a hole in the floor. He said. The

648
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: reason I'm calling is, uh, well, the good Lord gave

649
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: me a dream here of the night and told me

650
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: you need a car. Imagine this, I'm trying to hide

651
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: it from my father, and my father calls me and says,

652
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: do you need a car? And I said, well, as

653
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I do. He said, well, I

654
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: thought so, why don't you and Annabel come down and

655
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go crazy on this, but I'm gonna

656
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: find maybe get you a good used car, and maybe

657
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: five or six thousand dollars. I'm thinking, that's why I'm

658
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: going to spend and we'll get your car. It was

659
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: around Christmas. I think it was a great Christmas present

660
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 1: that year. So we go down to Philadelphia and we

661
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: looked at a Dodge. We looked at used cars, but

662
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: then we saw a Toyota. Camery wanted to get a

663
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: used one, as I recall, but the new one was

664
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: like seven sixteen thousand, but seventeen thousand with all the

665
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: bells and whistles, and God moved on my dad to

666
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: buy me a brand new Toyota care.

667
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: And the bumper to bumper an extra because here's what

668
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: happened car. Here's what happened was I had just had

669
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: my car total remember the sixty nine old cutless convertible.

670
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 2: I know'd ties to that car, but anyway, when it

671
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: got totaled, it was very difficult. But the insurance paid

672
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: us a ton of money because it was a classic,

673
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: and we tithed off of it. And what happened was

674
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: the exact. If you do the math with God, with

675
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: your tithing and your giving, it'll always be so sharp,

676
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: so accurate, and so whatever the price tag which I

677
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: can't remember the exact number right now, but it was

678
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: in this It was in the nineteen thousand dollars range

679
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: with the extra quarantine coverage. And you know, the tithe

680
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 2: off of the return off of the other one was

681
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: ten percent. It was just amazing to us at the time.

682
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: We knew God is so real and he just I mean,

683
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: we always grew in our faith forgiving because He showed

684
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: up so strong and giving. So you guys, follow your

685
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: instincts with giving, especially when you get going, because at

686
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: first it might seem like I can't afford to give,

687
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 2: but really you can't afford not to give, because the

688
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: more you give, God shows He shows up in your

689
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: money so big that you just have to say something.

690
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: It does surprise you. But the reason why we went

691
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: here is, oh, yes, it's about being conformed to the world.

692
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: And you see, I was fearing too much the opinion

693
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: of man. But I knew that how man thinks. I

694
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: knew I couldn't show up with a clunk. I knew

695
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: want my dad to hear about my failure, about my problem,

696
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: and God went to my father and told him about.

697
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 2: It in a dream.

698
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: In a dreaming. It was one of my dad's first

699
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: encounters with God. He said, I just think God told

700
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: me I'm supposed to get you a car, and I thought,

701
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: how amazing. I'm trying to hide it from my dad

702
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: and God reveals it.

703
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: See here, his dad was really successful oil man, and

704
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: he wanted to lay us a follow in his footstuff.

705
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 2: So when we went towards ministry.

706
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm many the oil business, many oil business still he is.

707
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: Then one day the pruning comes, one minute left. Why

708
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: would God do this? Well, maybe he didn't do it.

709
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: His love never fails. But maybe love is not rescuing

710
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: you just yet, because he's letting you get free from

711
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: the baggage you used to conform to. Maybe God's letting

712
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: you shed a couple of pounds of that conformity that

713
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: you used to do so that you can stand on

714
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: your own. God's releasing the hidden man on the inside

715
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: of you. You're prune, but if you look closely, there's

716
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: an authenticity coming with that new look you've got. There's

717
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: a real you coming out of the stuff. Soon the

718
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: foliage is forming, and it's twice as dense, more copious, improved.

719
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: God pruned away layers of what you thought you needed

720
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: almost to look right, and God took it away so

721
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: that you could bring forth something else on the inside.

722
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: And then the manifestation of what's around you is even

723
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: greater than what you had before. Very often, because nature

724
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: will clothe itself in a reflection of what you're at

725
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: on the inside. And so when God takes up another

726
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: level for a moment you feel vulnerable. It's like a

727
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: probably a turtle or a shell or so there's probably

728
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: a nature those illustrations of having to find the new

729
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: house because you've gotten larger, but you'll be enlarged and increased.

730
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: Talking about this, but I got my thirty day devotional

731
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: here and next level living what I'm reading from. If

732
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: you want to get a copy, we'll give it to

733
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: you for your gift of any amount. Just called eight

734
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: hundred nine one zero six three four nine. We got

735
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: thirty of these principles. I'm even going to throw in

736
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: my four CDs on l FEV or the Force of Favor,

737
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: And that's honey, because one day I realized that the

738
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: stickiness factor was what was the characteristic of favor that

739
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking about. It's how sometimes when I'm thinking

740
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: about someone to hire or someone to work with, somebody

741
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: comes up in my mind. Why do they stick out?

742
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: Why do they stand out? And I realized later that, honey,

743
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: it makes it sticky, you know, and with God's favor

744
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: is on you, it's like, honey, is that it creates

745
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: a sticking impression. People remember you, something about you kind

746
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: of like stays with them. And anyway, Anna Belle, it's

747
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: the new year. Do you have any sense of what

748
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: the Lord has been speaking to you about the new year?

749
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a lot of surprise and about

750
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 2: letting go of so many things. It's interesting and it

751
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: makes space. We're even talking about some other are also

752
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: and refruiting, but even in furnishing families, there's a lot

753
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: of changes happening and we're open, we're praying more, and

754
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: we don't know everything.

755
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: That's what's so cool.

756
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: When you really don't know everything and you're asking the Lord,

757
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: you have to listen more and talk less.

758
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, s Anabelle has a nonprofit that takes care of

759
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: single moms for the most part, and some dads that

760
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: don't have furniture in Fort Worth and in Dallas, and

761
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: they provide. They have warehouses where they provide furniture for

762
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: families and started with beds and it's gotten into fully

763
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: furnishing apartments for people that are poverty stricken. It's a

764
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: beautiful kind of a It's Christmas every day with you, guys.

765
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: It is.

766
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: It's anyway you say, like what we have on the horizon, Well,

767
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 2: you know what I think as a company of people

768
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: in our little company ministry furnishing families, you know, we're

769
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: praying more as a team, and we're really asking. So

770
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just what do we have? We have

771
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: a blank we have a blank canvas. I think it's cool, Carl.

772
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: What have you got as your thoughts for the ear?

773
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 3: We do not rise to the level of our goals

774
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: and aspirations. We fall to the levels of our systems.

775
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 3: So for this new year, there's going to be new

776
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 3: systems in place. There's going to be new means to

777
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: get to those ends that we aspire to.

778
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: New systems. So what would that be for somebody, let's say,

779
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: wants to make more money or wants to get more

780
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: in shape, what do they need to do.

781
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 3: They need to assess where they currently are. They need

782
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 3: to beak in the areas of possible improvement. They need

783
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 3: to confirm for themselves. Why does it they want to

784
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: set out this plan for themselves. They need to determine

785
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 3: the plot points on how to get there. Then they

786
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: need to execute on those actions.

787
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: That sounds concise, sounds good, like cloaching content. Have you

788
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: been doing this? I have been.

789
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: Trimming down well, yeah, a little bit. One little thing

790
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 3: that I started doing is just going for walks after eating.

791
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: It helps kickstart the metabolism and some other stuff going

792
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 3: on inside of the body, which is really nice. And

793
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 3: it helps me stay energized because the body in motion

794
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: is likely to stay in motion. That's thermodynamics. Anyway, that's

795
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 3: neither here nor there, because we're here to talk about it.

796
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: Well, what's after eating? Well, now, my doctor Jordan Rubin,

797
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's always given me drink warm water. Fill

798
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: your belly up with a warm liquid before you eat,

799
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: because your stomach that will feel satiated, you won't eat

800
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: as much. And then when you eat, start with the proteins,

801
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: not with the carbs. Do the proteins first. It's like

802
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: few trips a few little tips like that go a

803
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: long way.

804
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 3: It's those systems. Again, it's not the goals or aspirations

805
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 3: that you have set for yourself, it's the systems that

806
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 3: you have in place.

807
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: All right, well, I have a question for you. We're

808
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: going to go to page Oh, we're going to go

809
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: to Judas day in twenty nine. Why Judas? You ask, Well,

810
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: Judas is it's an interesting insight to start the year

811
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: off with. You See, this is a conundrum to me.

812
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: The question is they're so you know, people are always

813
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: upset about right now.

814
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: You know.

815
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: The thing I'm always running into my social media world

816
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: is Christians that are freaking out over Christians that are

817
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: in some hot water scandals. They did something twenty years ago,

818
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: they did some fifteen years ago. They's been twenty five

819
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: years ago, and it's like, I don't want to go

820
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: everybody mad at me, but it's like what they all

821
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: freak out? Like where are they now? How are they doing?

822
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: How's their marriage? Their ministry life doesn't matter? Or we

823
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: got the goods on someone happened years ago, or there's

824
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: other scandals going on, so you got whole ministries now

825
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: got whole. Let's say a whole business. The cottage industry

826
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: is on waiting for and predicting the fall and the

827
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: embarrassing tabloid and the incident that comes out. It's a

828
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: weird thing. But it kind of goes to the subject

829
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: of Judas. Not in the sense that as you get here,

830
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: I'm more sympathetic to the victims of all this scrutiny

831
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: than I You know, I'm not sympathetic with all the

832
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: mob chasing these ministries down and haranguing them and harassing

833
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: them for something that happened twenty years ago. Send your

834
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: hate mail to me later. But I mean, it's just like,

835
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: it's like so weird to have to go through. The

836
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Left just went through a whole era of woke and

837
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: cancel culture, and now it's coming around to the charismatic community.

838
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 1: Now they're in a woke cancel culture of their own.

839
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: Don't get mad at me. I'm just telling you. The

840
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: question is Judas betrayed Jesus. But who hired Judas to

841
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: be in charge of the money? I think about this,

842
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: Just think about this, so don't don't freak out. Do

843
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: you hear my whole message? Today? I got six minutes canceled.

844
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: Who hired Judas to be the treasure of the ministry.

845
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: Judas stole, but Jesus hired the guy. Did he not

846
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: know the guy had a proclivity, So Jesus of course

847
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: hired Judas. Now think Jesus gave an opportunity for a

848
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: greedy man to handle his money. Didn't he know that

849
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: Judas had a problem with money? Certainly, which makes for

850
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: two important discoveries that will put the fear of God

851
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: on you. One, the area of gifting is the area

852
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: of temptation. Whatever you're gifted to do is the area

853
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: you'll be, the area you're going to be tempted in. Secondly,

854
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: God will give you responsibility and opportunity in the area

855
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: of your gifting. In spite of your vulnerability or your weakness,

856
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: He'll give you the opportunity. Your job is to know

857
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: your strength, because it's a great concept here, any strength

858
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: overextended becomes your greatest weakness. You go with money, your

859
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: problem might be handling generosity because you'll have money, but

860
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: you could also be a thief. Why does God do this?

861
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: Why does God? Does God want to set you up

862
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: to fail? Actually, he's setting you up to succeed. The

863
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: only way you can break through a weakness is to

864
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: face it and overcome it. To break off the iniquity,

865
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: you have to face the iniquity. To really sanctify the gift,

866
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: you have to deal with the serpent that is hidden

867
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: in the staff. Remember Moses picked up the staff and

868
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: it was a serpent. And you have to be able

869
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: to handle the authority and be able to deal with

870
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: the serpent that comes with it to manage it. So

871
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 1: God doesn't tempt us. He hat the spirit drove Jesus

872
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Well,

873
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: the Bible says God is attempted you. Well, God drove

874
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: Jesus into the world is to get tempted. Why because

875
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: meeting the tempter seems to be a rite of passage

876
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: before your promotion. Did the father want the son to fail?

877
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: Of course not. He wanted the son to be tested

878
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: and qualified in order to drive the enemy out. Maybe

879
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: you and I are tempted most in the area we

880
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: are called to drive out the devil. Look at the

881
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: thing you struggle with now and consider if it isn't

882
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: a spirit associated with the territory you're called to occupy.

883
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: It's just a thought. It's an idea that Jesus meets

884
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: the ruler of this world because he was about to

885
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: cast the ruler out. You meet the enemy at the

886
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: next level you're about to go into. To keep you

887
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: from getting into that level. Sometimes we go around in

888
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: circles for years without going boom into that next level.

889
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes our children end up taking out the enemy we

890
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: never took out, and they go up there. Look at

891
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: the thing you struggle with now, and consider if it

892
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: isn't somehow associated with territory you're called to occupy. Judas

893
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: had a gift for money, and therefore he had to

894
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: overcome a spirit of greed. A strong leader may struggle

895
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: with control, whereas a great persuader may have to deal

896
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: with the power of manipulation. A charismatic, good looking, or

897
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: influential individual needs to be careful about the power to seduce.

898
00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: Temptation reveals weaknesses, and owning a weakness is one way

899
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: you prune yourself to become more authentic. Think about that.

900
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: We talked about pruning in the last episode. If you

901
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: can own the weakness, the tendency to manipulate with words,

902
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: and catch yourself and become more grounded and more honest

903
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: and more forthright and more truthful. You're literally pruning the

904
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: tree in order to bring that weakness down under a

905
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: place we can manage it. It makes you more generous

906
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: with others who fall, and the humility you experience creates

907
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: a vacuum in you that draws in greater grace. Remember

908
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: Joseph Garanton years ago saying, grace is the power of

909
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: God that comes into you. It's the It's the divine

910
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: enablement of God. He said, It's like coca cola when

911
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: the can when you when you click that that lid

912
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: on the can, that sound is the vacuum of air

913
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: going in. When you humble yourself, when you deal with

914
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: your own humanity, when you discover your own vulnerability, you

915
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: there he ate that grace suction that pulls in the

916
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: divine energy of God to enable you to overcome. So

917
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: dealing with a weakness, dealing with that once again, Jesus

918
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: hired Judas in the area of his gifting, and he

919
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: wasn't setting him up for failure. He was setting him

920
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: up with a test, just like all of them will

921
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: be tested in the area of their assignment. So God

922
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: gives you the grace. Grace comes to the humble. Grace

923
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: is the word that describes a current of divine energizing

924
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 1: power from Heaven. A great definition of grace isn't cutting

925
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: me slack. The definition of grace is a current of

926
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: divine energy. Jesus was stilled with grace. It wasn't because

927
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: God gave him slack. It was because he had divine energy.

928
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: As you draw near to God, he gives you grace,

929
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: and his energy creates something that need to overcome. Heaven

930
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: creates a table for you right in the presence of

931
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: your enemies. You occupy until he comes. You. Don't run

932
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: for the pressure Heaven is wanting you to win. You'll

933
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: never meet a temptation you don't have the ability to resist.

934
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: You'll never be held back from a promotion because you

935
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: might be tempted. In fact, your weakness and your strength

936
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: is so intertwined that you're surely going to meet temptation

937
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: as you advance up the mountain. But don't let the

938
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: temptation stop you. And if you stumble, as the Bible says,

939
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: we all easily fall, then get back up. Learn from

940
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: what happened, and judge yourself rightly, and you'll be able

941
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: to learn and produce a grace in you and an authenticity.

942
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: You'll be a real human being instead of a sadducey,

943
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: and you'll champion other people getting up the mountain. How

944
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: powerful for the new year. When you see people fall,

945
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: remember God puts people in a place of promotion, knowing

946
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: that they'll be tested in the thing of their greatest strength.

947
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: Bye bye and God bless you.

948
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: Yes,
